Chapter 505: Lebanese-Israeli Armistice (One Change for the Alliance Leader)
The enemy of the enemy is the friend, and on the issue of facing Israel, Cai Ruichen is unprecedentedly firm.
Not only did they provide a large amount of support to the Lebanese side with all kinds of weapons and equipment, but they also ordered the Lebanese troops to actively fight on the battlefield.
It is important to ensure that a certain number of casualties are inflicted on the Israeli side on a daily basis and that the Lebanese army has a little confidence in the fight.
The most reassuring thing for the Lebanese side is that they do not need to pay any fees for these weapons and equipment.
As long as they dare to continue to fight with the Israeli side, Cai Ruichen also promised that they will never be stingy with the weapons and equipment in their hands.
Even in order to support the Lebanese army in its operations, a one-hop arms transport route was opened from Tartus in Syria to Lebanese territory.
In just a few days, the heavy truck fleet of the Future Transport Company delivered hundreds of truckloads of various weapons and ammunition to the Lebanese forces.
If there were no Future Technology Group, the Lebanese government would have been unable to hold on, whether it was a defeat in the war or international pressure.
After all, in the battle, although the Lebanese army watched the Israelis suffer a lot of losses, the outcome of the war did not change.
The fighting continues to be on the negative side of the Lebanese army.
However, Cai Ruichen's support for the Lebanese government has also made countries have some rhetoric.
His reaction to this was that Future Technologies was at war with Israel, and it was normal to help a country that was also at war with Israel.
If Israel apologizes and compensates, and at the same time guarantees that it will not target Future Technology Group, then Future Technology Group will immediately stop military support for Lebanon.
Conversely, if Israel remains hostile and still plans to target the Future Tech Group, then this gratuitous military support will not stop.
In Cai Ruichen's words. I don't care that this weapon, even if a cart of ammunition can bring the death of an Israeli soldier, then he earns it.
In fact, the Lebanese army, supported by a large number of advanced weapons and equipment, is still no match for the Israeli army. However, in the subsequent battles, the Israeli army suffered a rapid increase in casualties in the face of the Lebanese forces' offensive.
In particular, those individual anti-aircraft missiles and anti-tank missiles are the most headache for the Israeli forces.
The Israeli army is a fully mechanized force, and the marching troops are tanks and armored personnel carriers, and even Merkava main battle tanks, which can carry infantry in rapid mobile combat.
This is a unit that has formed its own set of combat styles in a special battlefield environment.
In the face of an enemy that lacks weapons and equipment to counteract, the Israeli army needs to have the ability to react quickly. The ability to move quickly forward or backward on the battlefield.
So behind the Merkava main battle tank, there is also an infantry cabin.
However, after replenishing a large number of anti-aircraft missiles and anti-tank missiles, in the course of the offensive, not only did the armored units on the ground suffer considerable casualties each time, but even the armed helicopters that fought in coordination began to frequently shoot down after being confronted with the anti-aircraft missiles that appeared from time to time.
However, after only six or seven days of fighting, the Israeli troops advanced another hundred kilometers. But the cost of casualties has also exceeded that of any previous battle.
But in this case. The 30,000 troops assembled on the border had no intention of entering Lebanese territory.
Now, the international attention of this war has surpassed that of the Islamic State and the games of various countries in China, and it often appears on the front pages of many international military newspapers and political news.
In the face of a war in which casualties continue to expand. It has also undermined the original plans of various countries in the Middle East, and even the peace talks in Syria, which are about to begin, have been postponed.
Countries that have no choice but to do so have all begun to step up their interventions, especially in Lebanon. An immediate ceasefire was demanded between the two sides.
Otherwise, the air forces of various countries will directly intervene in this battle, and whoever does not stop will be hit first.
Of course, such a warning is only an indication of one's own bottom line, not that it is really necessary to directly take military action to intervene in this battle.
After holding out for almost 10 days, the Lebanese side seemed to be unable to withstand the tremendous external pressure and finally agreed to such a ceasefire.
At this point, the battle officially stopped, and peace talks between the two sides officially began.
However, by this time, another news began to spread around the world, that is, the machine steward of the Future Technology Group officially began to be sold globally.
On the first day, in the major e-commerce and retail stores in the United States, the 1.5 million robot butlers prepared were all sold out in just one day.
Even a small fraction of these robot butlers have flowed into those brick-and-mortar stores, bringing more than $20 billion in business taxes to the United States in just one day, and total sales have reached the level of more than $100 billion.
If it weren't for the U.S. side's tax policy on machine stewards, which was specially reduced from the original 37% commercial tax to 20%, the tax revenue from one day's sales alone would have reached at least $40 billion.
The most important thing is that the United States is a consumer-oriented economic country, and whether the country's finances are strong or not depends on the domestic commercial consumption capacity.
At the same time, such a huge consumer market has also brought a lot of capital flow to major banks in the United States, because most of the people who buy these machine stewards are paid in installments.
There are already a large amount of dollars deposited in the Fed, and in the case of large consumption, the benefit of installment is higher than the 5% interest given by the Fed.
Moreover, this money has so far entered the pockets of factories and enterprises, and many investors have sufficient returns in the first place.
The hot sales have also made more people see the infinite prospects of the future of the machine steward, and many expansion factories will start immediately.
This money in turn becomes an investment in the expansion of production lines and factories, which brings a lot of related jobs.
At the same time, a large number of after-sales and physical stores of future technology groups have sprung up in the United States across the United States.
Many Americans who are too low in their careers are also applying to work in these brick-and-mortar stores.
Tax revenues, employment, economy, industry, in just one day, let the whole United States, all see the hope of recovery under the sluggish economy.
And it is only the first day, and it is estimated that the sales of machine stewards in the United States, according to the purchasing power of citizens, will need at least 20 million sets, which is still the lowest estimate. (To be continued.) )
