Chapter 964 First Employment Business
The main reason why Dong Ku never ordered the capture of Suez was that he was unknown. He is now strong enough to attack Egypt at the risk of being the enemy of the world and siding with Germany. As for the Red Sea coast, there are restrictions from the Convention of Constantinople, there are no shore defense measures, and for the Suez Canal, the impact is not great. So, just take the area around Port Said, take Suez and Ismailia, and control the canal coast.
Aggression is not possible, and there is little hope for negotiations, after all, Egypt is still a British colony, and Britain will never agree. And Egypt did not have the Japanese army to make the street crossing, and Dong Ku could not wave his army to attack, so he was waiting for an opportunity.
The world's attention will turn to Panama, and they will all think that Dong Ku's furious front is going to war against the United States. Putting Hawaii, Cuba, the Bahamas, and Bermuda on their independence first, and Panama against the United States later, is closing the door and then declaring war on the United States. After all, it is no secret that Cuba was funded and supported by the original advance army, although there is no evidence. Therefore, they all have reason to believe that the Fufeng mercenaries are going to attack the United States.
Based on this, Britain, which had lost its maritime power, had become a toothless tiger, and if it were not for the containment of Soviet Russia, Germany would have attacked Britain proper, crossed the English Channel, and completed the occupation plan in Europe.
Just because he doesn't have the power doesn't mean that others don't have ideas.
Italy, which had naturally jumped to the second naval power in the world, saw hope, and attacked Greece, Sudan, Kenya and Egypt at that time, preparing to establish a new Great Roman Empire in North Africa, but because the warships were not as good as the British, the British sent an expeditionary force to land on the Greek island of Crete, and used superior warships and aircraft to inflict heavy losses on Lao Mo, and was defeated in North Africa. Wait for the German army Rommel to join the attack on North Africa and capture Suez. Or when the Suez transport line was cut off, it was no longer able to fight, and after a great defeat, it withdrew from North Africa.
Originally, they were all waiting to see if Nu Feng would go to war with Britain and continue to seize British colonies for independence, but Nu Feng made a jump. Went to Panama.
This situation made Lao Mo excited, and while Panama was still negotiating, he launched another attack on Greece, and at the same time, the group of warships pounced on Port Said, re-landed in Egypt, and launched another attack on North Africa.
By the time the negotiations between the United States and Panama were over, Greece had fallen for the most part, leaving only the southern half desperately defending Athens.
And North Africa. The British army shrank back to their homeland, and there were not many main British forces left behind, and in the face of a sudden attack, the British and Egyptian troops fought back in an attempt to defeat the invading French again. At the same time, troops from the surrounding British army also reinforced Port Said to prevent the French from succeeding.
However, they were not assisted by warships. Those light destroyers and frigates, not even able to escort supplies. In the Mediterranean, how could it be possible to defeat a prepared French army?
Port Said was captured in just three days, and before the arrival of reinforcements, Lao Mo captured Port Said and quickly advanced in the direction of Suez, at the same time. Advancing to the west, Alexandria, prepared to occupy all the cities, including Cairo, in order to completely occupy this rich land. It is the most fertile oasis in North Africa, an oasis fed by the Nile and the center of the new Roman Empire.
Their advance went exceptionally well. The advance was carried out at a speed of more than 30 kilometers per hour, and the resistance encountered was minimal, and even if there was an interception position, it could not stop the advance of the land route. In the canal, more than a dozen warships assisted the infantry on both sides of the river along the way, and the advance was even smoother, and it took only one day to capture Ismailia.
Suez was also taken by Lao Mo after signing all the treaties with the United States in Panama. The entire attack along the canal took only seven days, and the speed was so fast that even Lao Mo couldn't believe it.
How did he know that every time his troops attacked a place, the obstacles in front were removed by the heavy snipers behind them from a long distance when they attacked, which allowed them to attack with great speed, without the assistance of aircraft, and faster than the German blitzkrieg.
The attack on Suez was also effortless, and the other end of the canal was captured in just a dozen hours. At this point, the Suez Canal was under full control of Italy.
Taking control of Suez, the old Mo was completely inflated, and at Ismailia divided his forces to attack Cairo, and at the same time intensified his attack on Alexander, trying to capture these important cities before British reinforcements arrived.
Controlled Suez, fought for a week, the tired Italian soldiers did not stop, they quickly took control of the port, selected the freighters that could be moved with the flag for seizure, as long as they were Allied, and those freighters flying other neutral countries were also carefully inspected.
A group of soldiers boarded an Iranian merchant ship on a small steamer and began to inspect. The reason why the Israeli fleet dared to move was because although Israel had received the help of the advance army, whether it was Jews in Soviet Russia, Germany, Ukraine and other places who fled into Kazakhstan, those who were willing to return to their homeland were sent back to Israel by the advance army, and it can be said that the relationship was very good.
But because the advance force helped Saudi Arabia achieve political independence and finalized borders with neighboring countries, they refused to join the Eurasian Business Alliance, so they had little to do with Nufeng.
When the Italian soldiers on board the ship entered the hold, they were shocked to find that it was full of rubber and copper ingots. This is a strategic material in short supply, not to mention that Israel has nothing to do with Fufeng, and even if it does, it can't stop the attraction of temptation.
This was the most sought-after material in the war, and although it was shipped from Singapore, it was only a commercial deal, and it had nothing to do with it. After all, trade does not restrict other neutral countries, and as long as it does not openly supply supplies to warring countries, it does not count as a violation of the neutrality law.
When the commander of the North African Colonial Army, Graziani, received the report, he did not hesitate to seize the 30,500-ton Israeli freighter on the grounds that it had violated the neutrality law by transporting supplies to the belligerent Greece.
The cargo was seized, and Israel reacted quickly, strongly condemning the Italian banditry, demanding that Italy return the fleet and release the seized crew.
Fat to the mouth, how could Graziani spit it out? Ignoring Israel's condemnation, he ordered the slaughter of all the crews, as well as the killing of all the local soldiers in the occupied territories, as well as the civilians who resisted slightly.
For a time, the area they occupied was bloody, much more bloody than Japan was in China. and Hideki Tojo escaping for his life, killing along the way is not inferior at all.
After three days of negotiations, when the Italian army took Cairo and Alexandria, and began to clear the surrounding troops, Israel made a move that shocked the world and declared war on Italy by telegram. No longer neutral. But did not join any camp, only declared war on Italy.
Hearing that Israel had declared war on him, Mussolini scoffed and said with a cruel smile: "There is just the right opportunity to land in West Asia, inform Commander Graziani, and prepare to attack Israel." ”
Receiving an order from headquarters, Graziani was ready to attack Israel in a very short time. Israel began to gather troops in preparation for the fight against Italy.
This sudden change diverted the gaze of Panama, where the United States had not lost focus due to the conflict with the furious front, and returned to this still war-torn region, wondering after the Italian occupation of North Africa again. Will the war with Israel spread to Saudi Arabia or Jordan, a country that has joined the Eurasian Business Alliance?
In that case, they will have a conflict with Nu Feng, as for Israel, if it does not join the Eurasian Business Alliance, will Nu Feng send troops?
At a time when all countries were paying attention, Britain was also confirming that the German army was preparing to open up the North African theater again and fight Italy when Soviet Russia could not pull out its foot. Even without the aid of battleships, Churchill believed. Defeating Italy is not a difficult task. After all, in terms of combat effectiveness, Italy is inferior to the Anglo-French coalition army.
But instead of immediately increasing his troops, he waited and saw what would happen to Israel's declaration of war with Italy.
Italy was now full of self-confidence, believing that it had no rivals in the Mediterranean, and the battleships blocked all sea routes. Even if Britain increases its troops again, it will not make any waves. So, after making all the preparations, on the third day of the declaration of war, an attack on Israel was launched.
Graziani set off from Port Said in two routes, all the way along the coastline. While sweeping the Sinai Peninsula, it went straight to Israel. On the other hand, a mixed fleet of warships, troop carriers, and landing ships launched a landing attack on Ashkaron, Israel, three days after launching an attack on the Sinai Peninsula by land, with the intention of cutting and encircling the southern tip of Israel from Jerusalem, eating the southern part, and then continuing to push north and occupy the entire territory of Israel.
The main objective of the land offensive was to eat the Sinai Peninsula and encircle the southern region. So, it's not a lot of pressure. The forces attacking Israel itself were stubbornly resisted by Israel.
Although there was no solid shore defense and the port was captured, the Italian army attacked for six days in a row and failed to capture Asencaron, where a fierce tug-of-war began.
When the flames of war broke out, Britain immediately stood still, waiting for Israel's final response, and did not even care about the loss of the Sinai Peninsula. Churchill was waiting, and when Italy and Israel were inextricably linked, they entered the land war, and it would be too much to return to support the Nile Oasis.
The furious front does not seem to have moved at all, but has strengthened its defenses in Jordan and Lebanon, and seems to be on the sidelines, with little intention of intervening in the war.
Nu Feng's attitude made Lao Mo feel at ease, Nu Feng was obviously unwilling to care about things outside the Eurasian Business Alliance, perhaps because the strategic goal had not yet been transferred from Panama, so even if he intervened, he was temporarily powerless.
As a result, the offensive on Ashkaron was intensified, and the warships bombarded the enemy lines around the coast, causing the Israel to quickly rout, and the army landed after a week of fierce fighting, capturing the empty Ashkaron.
It was at this moment that a peculiar change was discovered on the Red Sea coast, and a mixed fleet of two aircraft carriers entered the Red Sea and headed for Suez. At the same time, having just lost Asencaron, he was about to be cut off by the Italian army, and the Italian army at the southern tip was about to crush the entire line after clearing the Sinai Peninsula of what little resistance was left, when Israel suddenly launched a counterattack.
As soon as the battle began, the Italian army suffered heavy losses, and the troops were strewn with corpses under a dense barrage of bullets before they could see the enemy. What frightened the Italian soldiers was that those who died were all headshots, and few were shot in the body, which shows that the opponent's marksmanship was accurate.
In the fierce battle, the other party finally showed his head, only to see the face of the soldiers in yellow and green camouflage uniforms, all of them semi-automatic with sniper scopes, AK54s that had begun to appear in the warring countries, and the back of the knife was still exposed.
They are agile, cover each other, and have an unusually accurate marksmanship. In just ten minutes, the Italian army that was protruding Ashcaron was routed, and then, in a cloud of sand and dust, a large field of fast chariots appeared, followed by a helicopter in the dark sky.
Fighting, without the slightest suspense. In the rapid assault of the other side, Ashkaron was recaptured in just over two hours, and four ships were sunk with shore artillery that had not had time to escape.
When Graziani learned the news, he was shocked. This is the army of Fufeng, and only they are all camouflage uniforms. The habit of those equipment is also only possessed by Nu Feng, so he is so extravagant to carry two spears.
"Why did Fury Feng join the war?! Why wasn't there any news before?!! ”
Graziani asked urgently.
But his subordinates knew that everyone was just as confused as him.
At the same time that Ashcaron was recaptured, the Italian army, which was already close to the southern tip of Israel, was raided by several armored units, with the assistance of helicopters in the sky. Rapid rout.
Lao Mo was also shocked when he learned that Nu Feng was participating in the battle, he knew that he had no chance to win against Nu Feng. So, he urgently contacted Nufeng, and used Field, who had dealt with Fufeng's predecessor, the advance army, to contact Fufeng's higher-ups and ask why the war was going on against them. At the same time, a defense was made on the other side of the canal, and the army was massed in the direction of the canal.
After two days. When Fufeng conquered Sinai, Field made contact with Fufeng's higher-ups. The answer was that Israel had hired furious fronts to fight Italy.
Lao Mo couldn't cry or laugh, it was really incomprehensible that Nu Feng really accepted the employment and went to war with the country.
But this is not something he can stop now, because Fufeng will not take the initiative to stop the war, only Israel can stop the war.
The furious front reached the edge of the canal and faced the Italian army on the opposite bank. But he didn't attack again. At this time, the world also learned that Nufeng was hired by Israel for 50 million pounds worth of euros to fight Italy.
This is Nufeng's first business, and it is such a huge number. It shook the world. If you pay for it, wouldn't you be able to hire angry Feng to fight the national war?
Just when everyone is talking. The warships that had arrived near Suez also hoisted the Eurasian Business Alliance flag and the flag of the Fufeng, and launched an attack on the Italian army in Suez.
At the same time, the troops on the north bank were covered by heavy artillery fire, and one after another, the speedboats, which they had never seen from nowhere, entered the canal with two or three people carrying and running, rolled up a wave of water in the artillery fire, and quickly rushed to the opposite bank with the soldiers.
The defensive line built on the opposite bank completely collapsed under a single round of effective fire, the interception was almost hard, and by the time the artillery fire was extended, the army had already landed and launched a ground offensive.
As they landed, the shelling stopped, and hundreds of helicopters crossed the canal, and Vulcan cannons and rockets rained down, and the bloody and rapid strangulation began.
Where can the Italian army withstand such a fierce attack? Several points along the canal were out of control in just half an hour, and the armoured troops behind them crossed the canal, and two hours later launched an attack on the Italian army.
The Italian army was crushed at the first touch, and they could not even put up a decent resistance. The accurate shooting, the fast-moving wheeled chariot, the tongue of fire on the chariot, and the unstoppable rain of bullets in the air gave them little chance to escape.
Graziani already knew that his defeat was sealed the moment he crossed the canal, and he couldn't beat Fufeng at all. But he was a madman, and he had no idea of running away, and while the helicopters were circling in the sky, he quickly ordered to assemble in the direction of Port Said and Alexandria, where he concentrated his forces and relied on the assistance of warships to fight again.
As for the troops in Cairo, he ordered to stop the enemy with all his might, buying time for his side to set up defenses.
Unfortunately, he miscalculated the speed of Fufeng's attack, Port Said was the main target of the attack, and the canal could be opened so that the battleships could enter the Mediterranean, and the troop carriers and landing ships behind could keep up. So, at the moment of the offensive on all fronts, Port Said was the focus of attention.
The main attack here is Qu Jungang, who has always been called a madman, and his combat is characterized by rapid advances, sharp knives piercing into the depth of the enemy, and then dividing and encircling.
At the beginning of the battle, the Italian defense was destroyed by the long-range artillery that had been arranged, and the effective shot tore open a hole as wide as a kilometer on the opposite bank in just ten minutes.
Those Italian soldiers in front of the effective fire, not to mention the lack of deep trench bunkers, even if there were, it would not be able to withstand the effectiveness of dozens of 200-caliber guns in groups.
Qu Jungang is still leading the charge, he is already a military commander and can't change this problem, but he was tightly wrapped by the guard company, and he didn't have a chance to rush to the front line.
On the other side of the road, he yelled: "Everyone obey the order, don't wait for the armored troops, helicopters to follow, cover the infantry to attack Port Said directly, don't let the goods there escape!" ”
The soldiers could hear the shouts of this channel, and everyone let out an earth-shattering roar and rushed towards Port Said like a tide. Two hundred helicopters swooped down on the harbor to destroy the defenses and prevent the enemy from loading their belongings. Qu Jungang is most occasionally willing to do this job, he knows that in the past few days, a large number of belongings have been concentrated in Port Said, and if they are not blocked, a lot of them will enter the sea, and if they are sunk, nothing will be caught.
