PS: Thank you for the 20,000 starting coins rewarded by the book friend "Four-Star Chief's Corner", and this chapter will continue to add more to him.
――――
Yemen, Saudi Arabia, together with the air forces of Jordan and other countries, have been carrying out continuous air strikes on Yemen for more than a year, and Saudi ground forces are also assisting the Yemeni government forces and cooperating with the joint air force to attack the Houthis in Yemen.
However, although Saudi Arabia, together with the air forces of many countries, has maintained air strikes against the Houthis in Yemen, the area controlled by the Houthis has not decreased in the actions of the ground forces, and even after Saudi Arabia officially dispatched troops to Yemen, the area controlled by the Houthis has expanded a lot.
At this moment, Yemen, the whole country is full of wars, the capital of Yemen is also under the control of the Houthis, the Yemeni president with some senior members of the Yemeni government, fled the capital Sana'a, if it were not for the help of Saudi Arabia, I am afraid that the civil war between the Yemeni government and the Houthis is almost over.
However, Saudi Arabia's direct dispatch of troops has not changed much of the situation in Yemen, and the Houthis are still very active.
On the contrary, Saudi Arabia itself is deeply involved in this situation, the price of oil is already sluggish, and a large number of air forces are dispatched every day, which is an act of burning money.
What's more, the Saudi Air Force has to send troops to Syria to fight on two fronts, and even if Saudi Arabia is a local tyrant, it can't afford such a money-burning behavior.
However, it is almost impossible for Saudi Arabia to withdraw its troops at such a time.
After all, a lot of money has been spent, and as a result, even the development of the Houthis cannot be stopped, if they withdraw like this. Not only would the military campaign from the beginning be a complete failure, but its international reputation would also plummet.
Saudi Arabia is known as a powerful country in the Middle East. He has always regarded himself as the supreme leader of the Middle East and the hope for the future of the Middle East.
If even a Houthi is not right, it will also be a great blow to Saudi Arabia's position in the Middle East.
Regardless of whether the outside world recognizes Saudi Arabia's so-called position as the supreme leader of the Middle East, but Saudi Arabia thinks so, and the withdrawal of troops is even more of a joke for Saudi Arabia.
But on two fronts. Saudi Arabia feels that it is almost unbearable, after all, oil revenues have shrunk by one-third, and Saudi Arabia is all supported by 800 billion US dollars in foreign exchange.
But these foreign currencies now have to support two wars. And one of them has been going on for five or six years, and the other one started out as a super money-burning operation, with both the army and the air force going on and throwing out a lot of military spending every day. It hasn't worked out yet.
That's a year or two at most. If the price of oil does not rise, then the local tyrant of Saudi Arabia will become a beggar, and it is even inevitable that he will have to incur foreign debts.
Fortunately, Russia and the United States have recently exchanged chips, and there has been a result in Syria that the Saudis can reluctantly accept.
Seeing the signs of the end of the Syrian civil war, Saudi Arabia itself is also relieved, as long as Syria really becomes a federal state, and the Saudi-controlled opposition forces can have the rights to part of the country, then Saudi Arabia can stop continuing its military operations in Syria.
And so it goes. The war that Saudi Arabia is currently undertaking is Yemen.
Yemen is on the edge of Saudi Arabia. The Houthis and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are almost at odds, and the previous Yemeni government was one with Saudi Arabia in terms of faith.
The beliefs of the Houthis are the same as those of Iraqis and of Iran, Pakistan and Syria, and Saudi Arabia can no longer tolerate Iran and Syria, and even more so for the little brothers around them.
However, the Houthis have existed for a long time, and the Houthis are the largest clan in Yemen, and Yemen share more than half of Yemen's population with the Houthis.
Successive Yemeni governments have failed to deal with the Houthi problem, and this contradiction has finally erupted in the context of the sharp international ******** of the 21st century.
The Houthis have repeatedly succeeded in occupying the capital Sana'a, and even the current president of Yemen wants to give way to the Houthis, but there are still many conditions that cannot be negotiated.
Saudi Arabia saw that the Yemeni government was weak to the Houthis, and did not do anything, and with covert interference, the conflict naturally broke out.
By now, Yemen has been in a civil war for a long time, a large number of Yemenis are also homeless, and all foreigners in Yemen have also withdrawn from Yemen.
Yemenis are left with only one war-torn homeland, and Yemenis who die every day under the fire of war, ranging from hundreds to hundreds or even thousands.
Children who lost their parents, parents who lost their children, war refugees who starved to death, dead souls under air raids......
Today, Yemen is a hell, where the relentless flames of war devour innocent lives every day.
However, for all this, those in power do not care at all, or rather, everything for the sake of hegemony and profit, who can care about the death and injury of these civilians.
If it were Cai Ruichen, he would never be like this, at least the situation did not reach the level where there was no way.
The headquarters of the Houthis, a super-secret underground command post, a place that few people even know about the top of the Houthis.
Houthi, the leader of the Houthis, has been staying in this secret headquarters because Saudi Arabia has offered a multimillion-dollar reward to find him.
And once his location is known to the Saudis, no matter where he is hiding, he will immediately become the target of air strikes by Saudi fighters.
So this place is little known, although all the combat orders are also issued from here, but the people who convey the orders are all here to receive orders, and then run to another camouflage headquarters far away to convey the orders.
At this moment, in front of the Houthis, there stood a young man in high spirits, neatly dressed in military uniform, revealing the temperament of an officer no less than that of any regular army.
"Abdul, you are the most promising young man in the entire Houthi nation, and I am also the most relied on adviser, you tell me, what should we do now?"
There are signs of a solution to the Syrian problem, and Saudi airstrikes have become more intense these days, causing the Houthis to pay a heavy price for their frontline troops.
The Houthis are also uncomfortable, because the young man in front of him is a talent who has emerged from tens of thousands of armed forces in recent months, and his advice has caused huge casualties to Yemeni government forces.
The situation of the Houthis has been reversed many times against the Houthis, which has made the Houthis begin to like this young man who dares to fight.
"If you want Saudi Arabia to withdraw its troops, the only way is to make Saudi Arabia feel the pain, and let those members of the Saudi royal family feel that if the war continues for a long time, it will inevitably make Saudi Arabia pay a high price, and in the end it will only outweigh the losses." Abdul said calmly. (To be continued.) )
