The geographical location of Central Asia, West Asia and North Africa is very important, the region spans three continents, Europe, Asia and Africa, suppressing the Persian Gulf in the east, the Suez Canal and the Red Sea in the south, the Mediterranean Sea in the west, the Black Sea Strait in the north, and the Middle East and North Africa on land, the sea can move into the Mediterranean Sea in the west, and the Indian Ocean in the east.

Some of the main forces of the United States in the Middle East are concentrated here on the Arabian Peninsula, of which Saudi Arabia is the main air and naval base of the United States, and Bahrain is the location of the US Fifth Fleet.

Before the Iran war, the United States had more than 5,000 U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia, a few of them in the naval base in Jubail and more in the air base in Saudi Arabia's Dhahran air base.

The U.S. Air Force base in Dhahran was greatly strengthened before the outbreak of the Iranian war.

It is also the most important US air base on the Arabian Peninsula at present, with nearly 200 fighter planes stationed there, and the total number of ground crews, ground troops, and air force pilots stationed there has reached 8,000.

Dhahran Air Base, south of the Saudi East Coast port of Dammam, was originally a US-aided Saudi air force airfield, but in fact, it has always been used by the United States.

The Prince Sultan Air Base, deep in the desert 80 kilometers south of Riyadh, used to be the US Gulf Air Combat Joint Command Center, and after the Gulf War, all the command personnel of the US military were evacuated from here, and now it is back to the Prince Sultan Air Base.

At present, the total number of fighter jets in the two air bases exceeds 300, and it is also the most important air support base for NATO joint forces in the Iran war.

The two air bases add up to tens of thousands of people, of course, a lot of supplies are needed every day, and out of help for the United States to fight Iran, Saudi Arabia has borne the daily consumption of all US military bases in Saudi Arabia from the very beginning.

These American soldiers are provided with all the daily necessities of their daily life for free, and every day before dawn, Saudi Arabia will send fresh vegetables, meat and flour, and the supplies are supplied on time every day.

The quality of life of the Air Force is high, and this is the same in every country.

Especially the food of the US Air Force, which is almost indispensable.

And because it is always in a combat state and there is no rest 24 hours a day, the canteen in the air base always has hot meals, coffee and cola, and there are six meals a day.

As usual, before four o'clock in the morning today, soldiers of the Saudi military's logistics transport team and seven or eight large trucks came towards the Dhahran air base, and such a picture will appear on time every day.

It's just that the time to deliver the vegetables is at four o'clock in the morning, in the words of the Saudi side, this is the time when the vegetables in the farmers' market are the freshest, and the freshly slaughtered beef and mutton products still retain the temperature before their deaths.

Naturally, the US side is very satisfied with the logistics of the US side, because beef and mutton is the largest food consumable at the air base, and it can eat fresh beef and mutton every day, and it can also ensure the health of the pilots and the combat effectiveness.

Eight large trucks slowly stopped at the gate of the Dhahran base, and the guards at the gate routinely stopped the convoy.

On the first truck, a captain of the Saudi Defense Forces got down and walked directly towards the American soldiers standing guard at the door.

After saluting each other, Captain Saudi Arabia also routinely took out his own documents, as well as a simple list of goods shipped today.

The American soldiers at the door just glanced at it very simply, after all, this kind of work has been repeated for more than three months, and they have become accustomed to it to a very natural degree.

However, today's U.S. sergeant routinely inspected the car, scanned the inside and outside of the car, and then looked at the people in the car and the captain, and asked a little strangely: "Why did you change people again?" ”

Listening to the tone of the US sergeant, it is obvious that the convoy transporting grain is often replaced, otherwise where did it come from.

I only heard the captain smile slightly and said, "For the next half month, we will escort them, and it will be their turn to take a vacation." ”

When the US sergeant heard this, he didn't care, because in the past six months, the Saudi soldiers in the food supply convoy have changed several times, and none of them have been fixed.

And the sergeant took a closer look at the trucks, and after discovering that the trucks had been the same for three months, he didn't care at all.

At this time, all the guards who went to check the car nodded, making sure that there was no one else in the car and that there was no sign of an explosive device.

One by one, the soldiers returned to the gate from the side of the car and continued to stand guard.

Such inspections are indispensable every day, and any personnel entering and exiting the gate need to undergo strict inspections, and no clues can be missed, even if it is the US military's own vehicles, it is necessary to conduct all-round inspections.

Especially in the past few days, the Iraq-Syria Federation is competing with the United States, and the US military is also quite vigilant against the dangerous adversary of the Iraq-Syria Federation, and the Pentagon has strictly ordered all US military bases to be careful and careful.

After all, the infiltration ability of the special forces of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation, as well as the destructive force behind enemy lines, are also very terrifying.

However, the inspection is not on the car, but with a detection instrument scanning, under normal circumstances, as long as there are people in the car, or there is any explosive device on the car, the detection device cannot be avoided.

"You can go in." The sergeant nodded, handed back the documents and checklist in his hand to the captain, and then waved his hand to his soldier and ordered, "Let go." ”

The captain smiled and took his things, then nodded and returned to the car, and the American soldiers at the gate post also pressed the descending button of the crash pier, intercepted the thick iron rods at the gate of the American military base, and retracted to the ground.

This kind of anti-collision pier is particularly reinforced, and the telescoping speed is extremely fast, even if it is a main battle tank, it will not be able to rush in, and it will be directly jacked up by the anti-collision pier.

Eight trucks loaded with large quantities of food slowly docked at the kitchen of the US military base, a corner of the barracks, far from the airport, and the headquarters of the four Patriot anti-aircraft missile battalions.

After the truck was stopped, the captain jumped out of the car and ordered: "Everyone get out of the car, unload the goods, and leave on time." ”

After hearing the captain's words, the soldiers in the cab had not yet come down, and the people hiding under the pile of food in the truck bed came out one by one.

Wearing a layer of camouflage clothing, one by one heavily armed soldiers, quickly got out of the back compartment of the truck, and the Saudi soldiers on the truck began to come down to unload the food on the truck. (To be continued.) )
