Chapter 1103 Liberation of Gaza

"We must dispatch immediately to help the Israelis and regain the Gaza Strip." Cheney's words echoed in the small conference room.

The Iraqis suddenly sent troops and occupied the entire Gaza Strip, which Cheney absolutely could not tolerate.

Just as wars were flying on one end of the earth, American senior management also began an emergency response on the other end.

"However, Iraq did not declare war on Israel. Their reason was to maintain peace. Moreover, they did not invade areas outside Gaza and did not attack Israeli civilians." Secretary of State James said: "According to the original United Nations resolution, it was originally Palestinian territory."

James had no intention of favoring Iraq at all. He was just talking about the situation that was happening.

"Aren't we stationed troops in order to maintain the order in Israel and the Middle East? Now that the Arabs have broken the status quo, we must let them know that the United States will absolutely not tolerate this situation!" Cheney said.

"If we were to fight, how many troops could be invested now? How high is our hope for victory?" Bush asked, and when he mentioned the war, he was interested.

The current election situation is not optimistic for him. If he wins a beautiful victory, he can win some political capital for him, which may be beneficial for the election. Otherwise, the White House might give it to the guy who shouts about peace all day long and only plays saxophone.

"We now have four F-15 fighter squadrons and one F-15E strike eagle squadron in the Uvda Air Base in Israel, and two F-16 fighter squadrons. These fighters, if they are dispatched, can fully undertake the task of seizing air supremacy with Iraq. At the Yotvata Army Base, two armored brigades of the 7th Army's First Armored Division have arrived at Yotvata Army Base, which is less than 200 kilometers away from Gaza. If we attack at full speed, we can take Gaza back before sunset." Cheney said with confidence.

At this time, the Soviet Union had already weakened. If the United States could not do it, it would be a huge irony. Cheney was still very sure of the combat effectiveness of the US military, especially with his foresight, the Seventh Army had arrived. Although it was only two armored brigades, the combat effectiveness was definitely stronger than that of Israel's armored brigades.

If it weren't for the silly guys' stop, the entire Seventh Army would have arrived in Israel. The two armored brigades have almost the same task to regain Gaza. It would not be enough to completely solve the problems of the Arabs around them.

Two hundred kilometers? Hearing Cheney's words, Bush asked, "Is there sufficient fuel storage there? Can we afford the consumption?"

When Cheney heard Bush's question, he was still an amateur after all. He could speak a lot of things when it comes to strategy, but in terms of specific tactics, he really didn't have much insight.

Bush is better than him in this regard.

Fuel! You should know that the main force of the First Armored Division is the M1A1 main battle tank, which uses a gas turbine. This engine gives it unrivalled power. This is modified from an aircraft engine. Compared with the internal combustion engine, it starts quickly, accelerates quickly, and has few parts. However, its disadvantages are also inevitable, that is, the oil tiger!

Usually, if you drive for three hours, you need to refuel fuel. This kind of tank requires strong logistical support.

The main battle tanks of the United States have just been transported there. Is there so much oil supply at that base? It was originally a desert area and even water resources are not abundant.

"It's not just a fuel problem." General Powell next to him spoke: "Our main battle tank is designed for Europe. In the hot desert areas, it may not be adapted, and our soldiers have not adapted yet. Therefore, if we force our troops to dispatch, there may be many problems."

Powell knew everything, and he didn't know whether their tanks were adapted to the climate there, especially the wind and sand that would increase their engine failure rate.

What Bush needs is a complete victory, and if their actions are damaged, it may not be conducive to the current situation.

Is the Iraqis’ goal just the Gaza Strip, not the entire Israel? Defeating Israel is the ultimate goal of their Arabs!

The Army is not suitable for dispatching it for the time being, so how about dispatching the Air Force? Bush was thinking about this question in his mind.

At this time, the latest battle report came.

"A few minutes ago, the Israeli and Iraqi Air Force had an air battle with a record of four to one."

Upon receiving this news, Cheney smiled and said, "The Israeli Air Force is still the most powerful. Although Iraq is clamoring, it will not have any advantage in air combat."

"Israel was shot down three times and injured one, all of which were F-15 fighter jets, and only one of Iraq was injured." Powell said as he looked at the next line in the battle report.

"Send our aircraft carriers and enter the Mediterranean and Arabian Sea to deter the Arabs!" Bush said immediately.

…………

"The Egyptians destroyed the agreement signed with us and actively attacked us. We should take the initiative to attack and take back the Sinai Peninsula! The agreement we signed at the beginning and actively abandoned the Sinai Peninsula was a mistake, otherwise we would not face the current situation at all!" Netanyahu said.

In order to make a peace agreement with Egypt, Israel voluntarily gave up the Sinai Peninsula and returned it to Egypt. However, unexpectedly, it is now being used by Iraq.

Netanyahu brought this matter out again just to prove the Labour Party’s mistake and should not hand over the Sinai Peninsula to the Egyptians!

Rabin knew that choosing peace would cost a price, but he didn't know that? In the Third Middle East War, Rabin, as the chief of staff of the Israeli Army, commanded the battle to occupy large areas of Arab territories such as the Sinai Peninsula, the Golan Heights and East Jerusalem. However, he knew that it was easy to occupy these, but it was never Israel's territory, and Israel would never be able to manage the Arabs above.

Now, the Sinai Peninsula has returned to the hands of the Egyptians, the Golan Heights were taken back by the Arabs, and the Gaza Strip has just been put on the Iraqi flag. Where is the West Bank?

The situation on the front line is not optimistic, and Netanyahu is still using this to attack them.
