Chapter 406: The Source of War

Pilots who can become trump cards, such as Jihad, are naturally not reckless men who can only do it.

Rushing up to a decisive battle, don't even think about it now, because he and his partner's "Raptors" only have more than a ton of fuel left, and neither the remaining number of missiles nor the fuel stock allow them to continue the pursuit, and if they fall into the encirclement of Iraqi fighters, there will be only a dead end.

Seeing that the group of enemy planes had stopped in front, Jihad was a little frustrated and ready to beckon the wingman to turn around and return with him, but at this time he suddenly found that the orange highlights representing the rebel fighters on the display screen became blurred, and then they were directly filtered out by the system as clutter, and the speed displayed next to him also disappeared - obviously, the rebel fighters who recklessly fled to the east, although from the perspective of the master who killed the Free Iraqi Army, but the IFF mistake made him pay the price, Just like that, it was shot down directly by the rushing FIAF!

"Goal 2 accomplished! - 'Sword Thorn', stay alert and climb to 8,000 meters, disengage and return immediately! ”

"Roger, 'Sword Thorn' understood!"

After taking off, losing two fighters and annihilating the same number of rebel fighters, Jihad and his wingman ran out of fuel, and they climbed and accelerated in one breath before moving away from the aggressive FIAF fighters and returning to the military airfield in southern Syria.

Those hateful Liberal fighters, let's leave it to ALSA to deal with!

It was expected that these guys who bullied the weak and were afraid of the hard, and they did not dare to fire in the face of the large group of ALSA planes with superior numbers and loaded guns, and then they were driven out of the Jordanian sky by the ashes, and the jihad twin planes did not hesitate to break away from the unprecedented chaos of the airspace of engagement.

Although there were no careerists who were able to complete the mission and intercept the "Gulfstream". But they did their best after all.

There is no Syrian warplanes to stop them. Accompanied and oppressed by a large number of ALSA fighters. The Israeli F-15I persistently continued to advance towards northern Jordan, and the blue-and-white "Gulf Stream" sandwiched in the center of the formation flew steadily, during which they were also attacked by ground-launched MANPADS, but because the formation flew far above the missile's height, they did not encounter any trouble along the way.

Lieutenant Colonel Al-Bass Pilot Bursil Khatam found these people to be annoying to the fact that the Israelis were flying and clearly fearless, flying a light gray Su-27M and constantly approaching the F-15I painted with a white star on a blue background.

As the largest air force in the Middle East. The purpose of the ALSA's actions is to contain war and avoid conflict, not to fight shirtless.

Repeatedly shouting on the radio was ineffective, because the Israelis did not take hostile actions, and Bersil can only rely on skillful flying skills to get as close as possible to the opponent's formation, squeezing their gray "David Eagle" to the north, but the skills of the other pilots in the formation are ordinary, at this time, they can only use fire control radar to harass the RWR system of Israeli fighters in the back, and he is the only one who sticks it to squeeze, which naturally will not have any good effect.

Seeing that his efforts were in vain, Bersil simply gave up his efforts, and he sidestepped the rudder far away from the Israeli fighters. And call the rest of the pilots to change course:

"Zero two, zero three. The course remains the same, and the radar is maintained! The rest of the fighters turned to the direction of seven o'clock, and kept in touch! ”

"Zero Two understands!"

"Zero Three...... Got it! ”

Seeing that if they continued to fly, they would be close to the new party-controlled area of Iraq, and the ALSA fighters gave up accompanying flights, because they did not want to have a dirty affair with any side of Iraq that is currently in a civil war; In the northern Syrian sky, there is no sign of incoming warplanes, and the "Gulfstream" escorted by Israeli warplanes has no threat for the time being.

There is no way, after receiving Jihad's air situation report, although the Syrian Air Force is deeply troubled by the prompts sent by the intelligence system, it is very eager to send fighters to continue to intercept Abdul Rahman's plane; However, now that the few fighters of the Air Force are on standby at the front-line airfields, or simply take to the air to guard against the sneak attack of rebel fighters, the SRAF, which has limited equipment, has no more fighters to use for a while. Not to mention that at this time, the Su-27M formation of the ALSA was still patrolling over Jordan and monitoring the invading Israelis' every move, and I don't know what attitude the upper echelons of the Arab League have on this matter now, and now is not the time to immediately provoke a dispute.

Without the air threat from the north and south, after more than an hour of tossing and turning, after encountering and shooting down a MiG-29 of the Iraqi New Party that happened to pass by but attacked the fighter formation, a large number of "Gulfstream" business planes escorted by F-15I finally landed at a small airfield on the north side of Deir ez-Zor without danger.

After the plane came to a stop at the end of the runway, as the hatch was lowered, a figure of medium stature in a black suit appeared in the doorway; Looking at this once familiar land, Abdul Rahman took a deep breath of cool air, and the corners of his mouth showed a smile after a long absence.

Anyway, following the path of the prophet, I returned.

……

High in the Middle East sky, the confrontation and battle in the air are still going on.

Long Yun learned about the trip to the United States on the Ruby the next morning, during a routine morning workout, from the television news.

Looking at the tone of the news reports, it seems that it is different from the Iraqi civil war that started a few months ago, and this large-scale civil strife that suddenly broke out in the key parts of the Middle East is obviously very violent from the beginning, not only the internal situation in Syria has been in chaos, the peacekeeping forces have been attacked in many places, and even the surrounding Jordan, Lebanon, and even Saudi Arabia and Israel have been greatly affected.

As a well-known moderate political party in power in the Middle East, Syria has been used by major countries in the world as a positive case of political transformation and adaptation to the post-fossil energy era, or as a demonstration for most Middle Eastern countries to see how to behave in the world in the era of declining strategic value of oil. Since the outbreak of the civil war in Iraq, Syria has been receiving a large number of refugees from its southeastern neighbors with the help of the United Nations.

I felt that things were a bit extraordinary, looking at the watch It was only six o'clock in the morning, and the two girls in the bedroom across the door were still sleeping sweetly, Long Yun returned to the bedroom and turned on the tablet, and casually checked the information about the Syrian civil war.

Fingers slid a few times on the screen, a little unexpected for Long Yun, although this sudden civil unrest was only less than twenty-four hours ago, but the news on the Internet, or rumors, was already flying all over the sky. After roughly sorting out the complicated information, Long Yun roughly figured out that this civil unrest is obviously directly related to the general situation in the Middle East, or to Iraq's free party, government, and power.

"Long Yun? Are you up? ”

Hearing Su Xue's greeting outside the door, Long Yun packed up his computer and walked out of the door, he just looked at the international shape for a while, he actually wanted to chat with the girl in front of him now, but he thought about it and knew that Su Xue and Shangguan Ling would not be interested in Syria and the civil war, so he put this idea aside for the time being.

When they had breakfast with the two girls who were lying in bed as usual and looking a little lazy, and seeing that the sky outside the ship's porthole was not too good, and the weather forecast would not be out until tomorrow, several people gathered together and went to the upper deck.

Finding a table and sitting down in the viewing and leisure area around the cruise ship, Long Yun, Lin Feng and a few female companions played cards and chatted while watching the Pacific Ocean seascape shrouded in a gray sky: it was completely different from the blue scenery when the sun was shining, and now the Pacific Ocean outside the viewing window was not shocking, but it seemed extraordinarily deep and boundless, and the huge hull was as small as a fallen leaf on the water compared to the vast ocean where the water and the sky met in sight.

"Long Yun, have you watched the news? Fighting broke out again on the Syrian side. ”

"Oh yes!"

Hearing Lin Feng mention the morning news while playing his cards, Long Yun was about to talk to someone about it, "The Middle East has never been a peaceful place, and now it is really unlucky that there are two civil wars at once." ”

"But, don't you think it's strange? Syria was a destination for many domestic tourists before, and the scenery was quite good. Why is there a fight all of a sudden? ”

"Sudden fight? It's not that simple. It was rare to have time to sit down and chat, so Long Yun simply told Lin Feng about the news he saw in the morning and his own thinking.

If we want to talk about the big stall in the Middle East, we have to start with the previous new energy revolution.

As we all know, the Middle East has the world's richest oil reserves, which is also the most important well of wealth for Arab countries, but it is also the source of decades of war in the Middle East.

With the export of a large number of "black gold", the rolling financial resources have made Middle Eastern countries make a lot of money; However, in the course of decades of oil fortune, the wealth of most Middle Eastern countries has not been efficiently transformed into national strength and development potential, but has caused many social problems such as disparity between the rich and the poor, industrial deformity, and luxury and waste.

These problems would have been enough to cause social unrest in any ordinary country, but in the rich Middle East, they were overshadowed by a flood of money. However, with the beginning of the new energy revolution, the practical use of a large amount of renewable energy, especially the hydrogenation of coal resources, the Middle East countries that rely on oil for income and even affect the shape of the world economy have gradually begun to have a hard time.

The decline in both oil exports and prices has led to financial problems in many countries, which has further led to a decline in domestic employment, public discontent, and even turmoil.

Under such a large shape, the domestic political situation of the Middle East countries has also undergone two completely different changes. (To be continued......)
