Chapter 88 Crossroads

"Is this true?"

"Of course, why would I ask you to come back?"

Mu Haoyang is easy to deal with, and the genius came back to his senses, and still felt that it was not true. [bsp;    "In a few days, our fleet will symbolically enter Keelung Port." Teng Yaohui was also very excited, and almost sprinkled out when he brought the tea. "On January 1, the head of state will fly to Taipei and officially sign the "Declaration on Peaceful Reunification of Cross-Straits" with the leaders of Taiwan. As I told you before, Taiwan will retain all autonomy except diplomacy. The Taiwan Army will retain as a special defensive force, and we will only lead the Taiwan Army in name only. That is to say, we need to send a senior general to Taiwan."

"Will you let me go?"

"Of course not, don't dream." Teng Yaohui smiled and said, "I want Yang Yufang to go over, after all, he is not young anymore."

"this……"

"Of course, this is just my personal thought."

"Mr. Teng, why don't you let your mother Qi Tie go there?"

"he?"

Mu Haoyang nodded and said, "No matter what, Mother Qi Tie has made a significant contribution to the Japanese war and is also the commander of the Air Force. If we do not garrison in Taiwan, sending an air force general will definitely be much better than sending a navy and army generals to go there."

Teng Yaohui nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing Teng Yaohui not rushing to express his opinion, Mu Haoyang didn't say anything more.

"Okay, just do what you want, and I'll talk to him tomorrow."

"I'm asking me back for this?"

"Of course not. The head of state means to ask you to accompany him to Taipei."

"I?"

"I should have been there, after all, I am the chief of staff. But the head of state thinks it is more appropriate for you to go because you are commanding the war against Japan."

"this……"

"Of course, you are now the Deputy Chief of Staff, and at the same level as the Chief of Staff of the Taiwan Army." Teng Yaohui smiled and said, "After completing the unification, the Taiwan Army is only a local defense force, so the Chief of Staff of the Taiwan Army will definitely be half a level lower than me in terms of level."

Mu Haoyang smiled and shook his head, not saying anything more.

"Also, you've been to Taiwan."

Mu Haoyang was stunned and seemed to have no reaction.

"Li Mingyang said that you have done a big thing in Taiwan. Although Liu Jun is no longer a leader of Taiwan, he has made extremely important contributions to promoting peaceful reunification between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. Taking advantage of this opportunity, you can still talk to him and let him know what happened that year."

"Isn't this a good thing?"

"There is nothing wrong. Old Fu has told him a long time ago. I heard that he also wants to meet his life-savior." Teng Yaohui paused for a moment and said, "You know, if it wasn't for you, Liu Junshi would definitely be done. Without Liu Junshi, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait would not be able to achieve peaceful reunification."

"Mr. Teng, you're so proud of me."

"It's not that you are polite, you did this."

Mu Haoyang forced a smile. He almost forgot about what happened more than 20 years ago.

"Okay, nothing has happened these days, you can prepare well." Teng Yaohui had no intention of seeing off the guests, "How is the situation in Egypt?"

"It's pretty smooth. Najaf is a very talented leader and has great prestige."

"So, the Middle East is about to become popular?"

Mu Haoyang smiled and said, "It's not so fast. It won't be until the end of next year that the situation in the Middle East will heat up after we deliver the first batch of equipment."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to wait that long."

"Yeah?"

"Li Mingyang has received the news that Syria is also carrying out military reforms and has copied your model."

"What's the meaning?"

"To put it simply, Najaf must have private contact with the Syrian president. The reforms you carried out in Egypt have been transplanted to Syria by him."

"This is not a bad thing."

"Maybe not, but who is right?"

Mu Haoyang nodded thoughtfully, indicating that he understood Teng Yaohui's meaning.

"The key is to look at Israel and the United States, especially the United States. But at the moment, it seems not optimistic at all. After we interfere in Middle East affairs, the United States will definitely not watch the wall, nor will it watch the fire from the other side of the river." Teng Yaohui said with a sigh, "According to my guess, after the rescue operation is over, the Middle East crisis will break out. Of course, you are right. Before Egypt's military strength can substantially increase, Israel will not actively break the strategic balance. It's just that we must realize that the arms race in the Middle East has begun."

"As long as the Palestinian-Israeli contradiction has not been eliminated, the arms race will inevitably be avoided."

"So, do you think it's necessary to help Syria?"

"this……"

"Even if I don't raise this question now, the head of state will raise this question after the New Year."

Mu Haoyang nodded, pondered for a while, and said, "From a purely military perspective, just arming Egypt will definitely not offset Israel's military advantage. If war is unavoidable, we have to arm Syria. Only by attacking north and south can we have hope of winning this war."

"So, do you support Arab countries too?"

"Mr. Teng, I didn't say that." Mu Haoyang smiled and said, "If I could choose, I would rather cooperate with Israel."

“It’s a pity that there is no such option.”

Mu Haoyang didn't speak, he had already made the words very clear.

After staying in Egypt for several months, Mu Haoyang had a very clear understanding that the Egyptian people's enthusiasm for war was far less than expected. Although they had never been to Israel, through the news media, Mu Haoyang had a deeper understanding that the Arabs were far less active than the Jews in the struggle for survival. To put it bluntly, the Arab countries led by Egypt struggled for an ideal goal. They may have a passion at the beginning, but after being setbacks, they will definitely be more extreme. On the contrary, the Jews are not fighting for ideals, but fighting for survival, so they perform better than the Arabs in any case.

From this, it is not difficult to understand why the Jews won the four Middle East wars.

As Mu Haoyang said, if we can cooperate with Israel, there is no need to cooperate with Arab countries.

Unfortunately, there is no possibility.

Seeing Mu Haoyang not speaking, Teng Yaohui sighed and said, "In your opinion, with our support, how likely is the Arab country to win?"

"Whoever loses wins, no Arab states and Israel decide."

Teng Yaohui nodded and said, "So, we must be prepared for military intervention?"

"To be precise, all we have to do is to stop the United States from intervening." Mu Haoyang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We have enough reason to believe that when Israel's survival is threatened, the United States will definitely intervene, and may even send troops to fight. If we intervene directly, head-on conflicts with the United States will inevitably break out. If we do not intervene, the Arab countries will undoubtedly lose. Therefore, my opinion is to prevent the United States from intervening as much as possible."

"The problem is, this is basically impossible. As you said, as long as Israel's existence is threatened..."

"Then, this must be a limited regional war."

Teng Yaohui was stunned and waited for Mu Haoyang to continue talking.

"No matter who provokes a war, as long as the purpose is limited, there is a reason to prevent the United States from intervening. Perhaps it cannot prevent the United States from providing military assistance to Israel, such as urgently providing a batch of weapons and equipment, but at least it can prevent the United States from sending troops." Mu Haoyang paused for a moment and said, "That is, the purpose of the Arab countries is not to eliminate Israel, but to change the strategic pattern of the Middle East and eliminate Israel's strategic advantages. Judging from the current situation, the best choice is to help Syria regain the Golan Heights."

"But in this way, Israel's survival will still be threatened."

"It is not the most direct threat, nor has it really wiped out Israel, it just regained the territory occupied by Israel and brought the situation in the Middle East back to before the Third Middle East War."

Teng Yaohui pondered for a while and said, "How much strength do we need to invest according to this purpose?"

"It should not be very big. The key is to stop the United States from intervening. To put it bluntly, we must take necessary military measures to put pressure on the United States and make a diplomatic position that the United States' intervention in the Middle East war will force us to take the same action. Doing so is equivalent to comparing confidence with the United States. As long as the United States is not prepared for a world war, it will not stand the same with us on the Middle East issue."

"The problem is, we are not ready either."

"Will the United States fight a world war with only half of hope?"

"this……"

"Whether it is World War I or World War II, the United States participates only with absolute certainty. Without the certainty of winning, the United States will never fight a world war with us. If there is only half the chance of winning, the United States will not rashly provoke a war."

"It seems that you know the United States very well."

"Mr. Teng, this is not a matter of understanding or not understanding. At least so far, the United States is still the biggest beneficiary of the existing world pattern. As a vested interest, the United States will not actively destroy the current situation, nor will it provoke a war without being sure." Mu Haoyang paused for a moment and said, "More importantly, our full-scale war with the United States cannot be avoided, and there will be a day of outbreak. Before this day comes, the best choice for the United States is to weaken us as much as possible, and the Middle East war is undoubtedly a godsend opportunity."

"What's the meaning?"

"The United States will not seek to defeat us in the Middle East, nor will it allow us to achieve absolute victory, but will use the Middle East to extend our front line."

"You mean, if our intervention in the Middle East will inevitably have an impact on the overall strategy?"

"Or it's a heavy strategic burden that makes us lack initiative in other directions, especially in the crucial Pacific."

Teng Yaohui nodded thoughtfully, as if he understood what Mu Haoyang meant.

Mu Haoyang didn't say anything more, he had already said it clearly enough.
