Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army
Chapter 769: Rage of the Canal
December 12, late at night,
The neon lights of Cairo's Tahrir Square dyed the Egyptian flag a fiery red and white.
Egyptian Prime Minister Nasser stood behind the soundproof glass of the radio station, looking out the window at the crowd surging like a tide. They held up banners that read "The Suez Canal belongs to Egypt!" The torches in their hands flickered in the wind, but gathered into a sea of fire that would never go out.
"Mr. President, there are three minutes left until midnight." The assistant's voice trembled with an uncontrollable tremor.
Nasser reached out and smoothed the wrinkles on Jaraba's white robe, which he had specially dug out from the depths of his wardrobe. When the revolution succeeded in 1953, he was wearing this robe when he stood in front of the people and announced the establishment of the new regime.
The clock in the broadcasting room quietly slid towards 1956:1 on January 1, . Nasser took a deep breath and looked at the red indicator light on the microphone. When he spoke, his voice was as deep and powerful as the waves of the Nile River.
"My compatriots, when the New Year's bell rings, we welcome not only the change of time, but also a new chapter in Egyptian history! From this moment on, the Suez Canal, this golden waterway flowing through our land, will completely get rid of the shackles of foreign colonizers and return to the embrace of the Egyptian people!"
The radio waves cut through the night sky like a sharp sword, reaching the ears of every Egyptian. On the streets of Cairo, people were stunned at first, and then burst into thunderous cheers.
Taxi drivers honked their horns frantically, vendors threw their goods into the air, and women kissed the ground excitedly, their tears mixing with the dust.
At Port Said on the canal, workers held up torches to illuminate the sparkling water of the canal. They sang loudly, and their singing flowed into the distance along the canal water.
"The British occupation forces must withdraw from Egyptian territory within one month!" Nasser's voice suddenly rose, with unquestionable majesty, "This land was watered by the blood and sweat of our ancestors, and no invaders will be allowed to continue to trample on it! Any attempt to block the just steps of the Egyptian people will be reduced to ashes in our anger!"
London,
10 Downing Street,
British Prime Minister Eden was urgently awakened from his sleep. When he came to the office and looked at the telegram handed over by his secretary, his face suddenly became pale!
"Is this Nasser crazy?" he roared, "He actually dared to challenge our British Empire!"
"Mr. Prime Minister, what is Haizhou's attitude?..." An official spoke cautiously, but was rudely interrupted by Aiden.
"The Middle East is the territory of our British Empire. We must not allow Haizhou to interfere. Call the generals of the three armies to a meeting!"
There was a glimmer of ruthlessness in Aiden's eyes.
"It seems that we have to teach these ignorant Egyptians a lesson."
At this moment, Nasser was looking at the starry sky and hearing the shouts of the people in his ears. He knew in his heart that a storm was about to come.
But his eyes remained firm, because he knew that the Egyptian people had awakened and they would fight to the end for their country's sovereignty and dignity.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, Yin Xinjun was ready to go out after packing up. According to the time difference, it was still 2 o'clock in the morning in Egypt!
Nasser had already reported to him in advance about Egypt’s actions last night. This was also the first step for Egypt to take back the canal!
Yin Xinjun is going on a visit abroad today, and his first stop is Sri Lanka, where is the Galle naval and air base of Haizhou State!
This is an important material transit base from Haizhou to the Middle East. Sri Lanka provided a large piece of land to Haizhou for the construction of the base, in exchange Haizhou invested 80 billion yuan in Sri Lanka and built 13 factories!
The State of Haizhou does the same to all the member states of the Maritime Treaty, exchanging investment for mineral resources or military cooperation. The markets of these member states are also very large. The only shortcoming at present is that their purchasing power needs to be improved!
Just as I was finishing my packing, there was a knock on the door.
Chen Chao walked in.
"President, the French ambassador forwarded a letter jointly sent by them and the British government!"
He handed me a piece of paper!
British? Yin Xinjun was not interested at all and directly ordered,
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Chen Chao said,
"The British and French governments have informed us that they will launch a joint air strike against the Egyptian army and hope that we will not get involved!"
"Joint air strike?" Yin Xinjun became interested. Is this NATO's official intervention?
"Yes, France also has shares in the Suez Canal Company. The interests of Britain and France are tied together! Should we respond?"
"Of course, first, issue a press release to firmly support Egypt's actions to safeguard its territory. Second, warn all countries that as a member of the Sea Treaty Organization, if Egypt encounters a military attack from any country, it will be regarded as declaring war on the Sea State!"
"okay, I get it!"
In the square of the Presidential Palace,
Three specially made bulletproof off-road vehicles and a minibus have been waiting for a long time.
Accompanying Yin Xinjun on this inspection trip were Navy Commander Tang Yantian, Interior Minister Tang Junping, Finance and Materials Minister Jiang Hailiang, and Presidential Office Director Feng Qing!
The group arrived at the airport and boarded a presidential plane! This was a special plane modified from a Xuanwu passenger plane, specially equipped with the most advanced radar and communication equipment.
In addition, in order to meet the president's travel and office needs, different functional areas are divided. There is a comfortable reception area with several leather sofas and a small coffee table!
Yin Xinjun sat down on the sofa, took out a cigarette, lit it, and said to Feng Qing,
"Keep communicating, and report any updates immediately!"
He knew in his heart that the shadow of war had already loomed over Egypt and could break out at any time!
As the tower gave the order, the engine of the special plane let out a low roar, and four Qinglong-2 fighters were arranged on both sides and the rear like sharp swords. The silver-gray fuselage shone with a cold metallic luster in the sun, and each aircraft was equipped with four air-to-air missiles under its wings!
The special plane taxied first, with the tires rubbing against the runway and producing a slight smoke. Then, under the thrust of the engine, it suddenly lifted its head, cutting through the mist and soaring into the sky. The four fighter planes followed closely behind, climbing in a standard diamond formation. The whistling sound of the wings cutting through the air could be faintly heard through the clouds.
After taking off, the formation quickly adjusted its course and flew northwest towards Sri Lanka.
Inside the cabin of the special plane, Yin Xinjun and several ministers began a heated discussion about the upcoming war!
Yin Xinjun said,
"Now that we have missiles, the characteristics of warfare must also change. The first is beyond-visual-range strikes, giving full play to the role of missiles! The number of our missiles should far exceed that of our opponents. We must give full play to the role of missiles and destroy the opponent's important targets!
The second is to seize air supremacy with all our strength! This time the conflict between Britain and France is imminent, and the first thing is the air forces of these two countries, which must be completely destroyed!"
