.Chapter 88: Each makes a move

On the 28th, two very important things happened. Read the full text of the Burning Ocean

First, on the morning of the same day, representatives of Arab countries held a meeting in Baghdad to discuss the issue of unanimous combat. Although several Arab countries that had not participated in the war and no consensus resolution was reached at the meeting, in the afternoon of the same day, several Arab countries that participated in the war announced that they would impose embargo and blockade on several Western alliance countries such as the United States, Israel, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, etc., prohibiting the sale of all resources to these countries. This decision ultimately led to the participation of several Gulf countries in the war.

Second, China and Iran officially signed an alliance treaty.

From a time perspective, China and Iran signed the alliance treaty before the end of the "Drah Holmes Battle", that is, on the afternoon of the 28th, Tehran time... According to the promise made by Chinese Premier Du Xiaolei in Tehran, China will send the first ground force to Iran within three days, with a force of no less than 50,000. In the next six months, China will gradually provide Iran with 500 fighter jets and enough main combat equipment to arm ten divisions. Because Iran is a food importer, China will also provide food aid to Iran.

The problem is that by this day, China still has not declared war on Russia. Ranking of supernatural novels

It can also be seen from this that Iran is a very special ally, that is, China no longer unilaterally assumes obligations, so there is no reason to declare war on Iran's hostile countries.

China has no choice but to do so.

Don’t forget that in the Middle East, with the rise of Arab countries, Iran has become an unpopular country. If China wants to continue to maintain friendly relations with the Arab world, it must keep a distance from Iran instead of unconditionally protecting Iran, and it must also do something about the alliance.

The result of the "Drah Holmes Battle" made this alliance agreement meaningful.

Although judging from the subsequent development of the war situation, the Russian authorities did not "keep their promises", that is, the Russian president did not postpone the combat operations against Iran because the US-Israeli coalition suffered another crushing defeat on the Middle East battlefield, it is certain that Russia must have cut its offensive forces.

According to information disclosed after the war, Russia drew at least one-third of its troops from the Caucasus region at that time.

Of course, for China, the biggest problem now is how to fulfill its promise, that is, to send a ground force of 50,000 people to Iran within three days.

Fortunately, if it cannot be done, Du Xiaolei will definitely not make such a promise.

Before going to Tehran, Du Xiaolei talked with Mu Haoyang and received Mu Haoyang's affirmative reply, and then made a guarantee to the Iranian authorities. Urban Supernatural Novel Rankings

Mu Haoyang’s idea is very simple: use the strategic reserve team.

Before this, he had asked Qi Kaiwei to draw two main armies from the northern front, and the 27th Army was sent to the Middle East.

In other words, Mu Haoyang also has a main army, namely the 38th Army.

Although the 38th Army had only more than 40,000 troops in terms of military strength, it was not much different from 50,000. If you sent some military advisers to come over, you could get them all together.

The problem is that Qi Kaiwei firmly opposes doing so.

His reason is also very simple: the 38th Army is the general reserve team on the northern front, and it is already an imminent task to declare war on Russia.

As expected, when the 38th Army was sent to Iran, Qi Kaiwei had no reserve team in his hands.

Of course, Mu Haoyang did not think so, because according to the internal mobilization plan of the army, by the end of the year, all eight reserve armies will be ready, and the other eight temporary mobilized reserve armies will also complete the assembly. In fact, before that, the 333rd reserve armies had already been on the battlefield. In Mu Haoyang's view, these reserve armies are the reserve armies, and the main army should be placed in the most valuable place.

Mu Haoyang and Qi Kaiwei almost started arguing about this. The Burning Ocean Complete Works

In the end, the two of them made a fuss to Huang Hanlin and asked the head of state to make a decision.

There is no doubt that things have become complicated now.

Although Huang Hanlin knew why Mu Haoyang sent the 38th Army to Iran, in the end, he still supported Qi Kaiwei.

The main reason is that the time for China to declare war on Russia has been set: January 1, 2053.

According to the information disclosed after the war, Huang Hanlin crossed Mu Haoyang and asked Qi Kaiwei for the army's combat plan, and received a positive reply from Qi Kaiwei, that is, with sufficient preparations, the Chinese army could take the initiative on the mainland battlefield without giving the Russian army any chance, and within one month after the war, it extended China's local border defense line outward by 200 to 500 kilometers to ensure the absolute safety of the local area.

Obviously, this guarantee has a huge effect.

You know, what Huang Hanlin was most worried about at that time was that his local area was subject to a military strike, and the reason for his concern was largely due to political pressure.

Don’t forget that after the war started, the US military began to bomb China’s mainland. Although the losses were not large, it never stopped.

For Huang Hanlin, this is definitely not a good thing. Even if the US military's strategic bombing did not cause much damage, the casualties were not large. By the end of 2052, there were less than 5,000 civilians killed by the US military, and the bombings were mainly Guangdong and Zhejiang provinces, especially coastal areas, and inland provinces have not been bombed. The problem is that this constant threat has affected Huang Hanlin's political status. At the National Congress in early December, a representative proposed why not launch a strategic counterattack against the enemy?

Huang Hanlin couldn't answer this question because he was not a military commander.

The impact of this is that Huang Hanlin is eager to launch a significant strategic offensive. Even if the threat caused by the US strategic bombing agency cannot be eliminated, it must achieve the purpose of inspiring and diverting the public's attention. The only way to achieve this effect is to declare war on Russia.

Since the date of declaration of war has been set, military deployment must be subject to actual conditions.

Obviously, the 38th Army has an irreplaceable role. Not to mention whether the army is still the number one ace force of the Chinese Army, but at least it still holds the title of "Long Live Army" and plays an important role in the minds of the people. If the 38th Army is sent to Iran instead of being used on the local northern battlefield, let alone Qi Kaiwei refused to agree, even Huang Hanlin could not explain to the public.

The problem is that Mu Haoyang’s claim is not wrong.

You know, the Iranian army is just a testament and does not have much combat effectiveness at all.

At that time, the total strength of the Iranian Army was 600,000, and war mobilization was underway, and the size of the troops increased at a rate of tens of thousands per day. Unfortunately, the Iranian Army did not have much combat effectiveness at all. Its most advanced main combat equipment was the Type 99 main battle tank purchased from China more than 30 years ago. Although Iran once proposed to purchase the Type 24 main battle tank, it was not sold in the end.

It is obvious that the Iranian army cannot withstand the pressure from the north at all.

According to Mu Haoyang's estimate, as long as Russia launches a ground attack and invests enough troops, it will be able to capture Tehran in three to five days.

You know, the current Russian army is already very threatening.

Not to mention anything else, the Russian Army's T-140 main battle tank has a lot to do with the US Army's m27a1, and its improved model is almost a replica of the m27a3. In other aspects, the Russian Army's equipment performance is not bad, and it is basically the same as the US Army.

More importantly, Russia has a relatively powerful air force.

In comparison, the Iranian Air Force is almost worth mentioning, with its most advanced J-22 fighter jets totaling less than a hundred, and all of them are early models.

Such a huge gap in strength has turned Iran into a time bomb.

Although after seizing the sea control power of the Indian Ocean, China no longer relies on the railway line across the Asian continent, Iran guards the Persian Gulf and poses a threat to the Arabian Sea. If Iran loses, the Persian Gulf waterway will be cut off by the Russian army and Pakistan will be threatened.

Don't forget that at this time, the Chinese team captured Digo Garcia and had not yet occupied Djibouti.

In other words, the route to the Persian Gulf is the main pillar supporting the Middle East Corps. If this route is cut off, the Middle East Corps will be unsustainable.

As the Chief of Staff, Mu Haoyang must consider the overall situation of the battle.

In his opinion, Iran is more important than the mainland battlefield at this time, and it should wait until the Iranian war situation stabilizes before declaring war on Russia.

Of course, Mu Haoyang did not tell Huang Hanlin about this idea.

After spending decades in the core power circle, Mu Haoyang couldn't be unclear about Huang Hanlin's thoughts.

Under Mu Haoyang's insistence, Qi Kaiwei also made a concession, that is, he agreed to send the first reserve army to fully equipped ground warfare platforms, the First Third Army, to Iran, and add an army aviation corps to the army to improve its independent combat capabilities in mountainous areas.

In this way, the First Third Army had more than 50,000 officers and soldiers.

From the perspective of organization, the First Third Army is the direct reserve army of the 13th Army, that is, the basic organization is retained during peacetime and the combat personnel are supplemented during wartime. It is also true that the number of the First Third Army does not have the word "preparation". Only those armies formed by retired soldiers who were urgently recruited during wartime were added with the word "preparation", such as the Third Third Army. It can be seen that the combat effectiveness of the First Third Army is definitely above the Third Third Army.

In fact, from the perspective of combat capabilities alone, the First Third Army is no worse than any main army.

You should know that even in peacetime, this army will hold two full trainings a year, conducting a confrontation exercise with the main group army every two years. All the officers and soldiers are reserve soldiers, and the training time is about 300 hours per year, and basically there is a training camp every month.

For Mu Haoyang, this is also a good result.

The reason is very simple. Mu Haoyang also advocated adopting a defensive strategy in Iran, that is, to focus on stabilizing the situation, and there is no reason to defeat the Russian army invading Iran.

You should know that the battlefield of Iran is enough to contain hundreds of thousands of Russian troops.
