Chapter 565 Smearing America! (Second Update!)

If he's going to be happy, he should smile.

Saeed forced a smile that looked more like a grimace. On the wall next to him was a mirror.

This will allow him to see that smile, which is even uglier than a cry.

He grinned at the mirror, grabbed the chair next to him, spun around forcefully, and used the force of his rotation to smash the chair against the mirror.

With a crash, shards of the mirror flew all over the floor.

With the mirror smashed, Sayed no longer had to see his own smile, which looked more like a grimace. He took a deep breath and turned around.

He smiled at Musa and Sal again.

This time, it was just a smile, but the smile was genuine.

Knowing that his brother had resolved his inner conflict, Musa stepped forward and called for others to come and clean up the debris on the ground.

Saeed stepped aside, led the two to the balcony, sat down on a chair there, and nodded to them.
"Tell me your thoughts!"

Musa and Sall exchanged a glance, and in the end, Musa spoke first, after all, he was the Minister of Defense.

Taking over the topic, Musa naturally opened up:

"Since America entered the Middle East, our defense strategy has become about buying security with money."

"Under this national defense strategy, we acquired a batch of missiles from China. We used these missiles as a last resort, and we also acquired some things from America."

"Our military spending ranks among the highest in the world."

"We had been wondering if America might add backdoors to our equipment to control it."

"It was all just speculation before, but now we can confirm that America can control our equipment."

“Based on this, we can extend it and obtain other results.”

"That's America. When we're in conflict with other countries and the conflict isn't in their interest, they won't hesitate to lock up our equipment."

"This time it's tanks, next time it could be airplanes..."

"Actually, none of that matters. What matters is..."

Musa kept everyone in suspense, drawing out his words and turning his gaze toward Saler.

He wanted to test the other person.

The next second, Sall asked the question: "The key is the anti-aircraft missiles, right?"

Hearing the answer he had expected, Musa nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, anti-aircraft missiles!"

"Air defense, air defense, 10 defenses and 9 air attacks, that's a joke about air defense weapons, but if America had controlled our air defense weapons from the beginning and hadn't carried out air defense interception."

"Then we're at the mercy of others!"

"This is extremely dangerous!"

"This time it was the Houthis, who don't have long-range strike capabilities, but what if we clash with Israel next time?"

"Israelis are like mad dogs, they bite anyone they see, and they have no moral compass. Their missiles will hit residential areas."

"And since America is in cahoots with Israel, she will inevitably stand on Israel's side."

"Once a conflict breaks out, we'll be left with nothing!"

"Therefore, my suggestion is to get another anti-aircraft missile system in addition to the one provided by America."

"Whether it's Russia's S-300 or China's HQ-9, we can't put all our hopes on America."

His words greatly pleased Saeed, who nodded slightly. The king then turned to look at his brother:
"How is Lin Yi doing?"

"He hasn't made an offer yet! But I've already raised his price to 2000 million. Given his greedy nature, I don't think he'll refuse."

His brother's explanation made Said let out a wry smile. "That's normal. That's military equipment. That's a tank."

"Giving a quote is a systematic process, and it's normal for it to take time."

"2000 million US dollars is like buying a horse's bones with a thousand pieces of gold."

"Once Lin Yi sends back a detailed message, you should spread the news, especially to the American people."

"By the way, have you thought about how to quickly transport these tanks back to China?"

Clearly, this problem was beyond Saller's knowledge. He counted on his fingers and found that sea transport took too long, so he started calculating the time it would take to transport by air.

But upon further calculation, he suddenly realized that the transport planes he bought from America could not transport Lin Yi's tank.

Just as he was getting anxious, Musa reminded him from the side: "Russia, and Ukraine, those two countries have planes that can transport tanks."

This suggestion made Sall's eyes light up: "I think I can take this opportunity to go to Russia."

"Go!" Said, standing beside him, gave him a strong boost of confidence.

Saudi Arabia and Russia do not have a good relationship, but for the sake of money, Russia should be willing to save face for both sides.

At the same time, Saudi Arabia can also spread the message that it is preparing to purchase S-300, or even S-400, from Russia.

Regardless of whether it will succeed, let's stir up public opinion and release the news first.

If the Americans aren't stupid, they'll understand that this is Saudi Arabia retaliating against them.

At the very least, they'll have to think twice before doing something like locking phones again.

After discussing his wariness of America, Sayed steered the conversation back to the front lines:
"How is the battle situation at the front?"

This question is like a switch, tightly shutting Musa's mouth.

He chuckled twice before lowering his head and speaking in a heavy, sorrowful tone:

"The situation at the front is not ideal."

"Our tanks were locked down, and the infantry, whose fighting spirit was already low, were even less willing to attack."

"So the two infantry brigades that launched the attack on the Houthis are now stuck on the border, exchanging fire with the Houthis across the border."

"We have plenty of bullets, so we can keep fighting from beginning to end, from dawn till dusk."

"The Houthi rebels basically only fire when our guns stop, then they pull out their guns and fire a couple of shots, and when our guns resume firing, they back down."

"So there's been no progress at the front!"

Musa's words made Saeed catch his breath. The royal guard was an independent entity from the army, and their combat strength was somewhat greater than that of the army.

In his daily life, Said would often compare the combat strength of his guards with that of the army.

The comparison revealed that the army's combat effectiveness was terrible.

However, he never expected it to be this bad.

Without tanks, the infantry brigade will not advance.

Without tanks, they didn't even cross the border; they just exchanged fire across it.

He wanted to curse, but the words he uttered were insufficient to describe his anger at that moment.

Finally, he swallowed his words and waved his hand weakly:

"Moussa, continue to strengthen the military reform and construction. At the same time, expose what America did this time and let the whole world see what America did." "Then throw the blame for last time back at her."

“They don’t want Abrams tank to take the blame, so let’s just pin the blame on them.”

"I understand!" Musa chuckled twice and nodded in agreement.

Having said what he needed to say, Said slowly closed his eyes: "You guys go ahead and get busy, I need to rest. Also, don't send me similar messages these next couple of days."

"I feel like I'm going to die if I hear two more pieces of news."

After saying these two sentences, Sayyid opened his eyes, got up, and walked towards his bedchamber.

I need to get some rest.

Musa and Salle left one after the other to attend to their own work.

Back in his office at the Ministry of Defense, Musa immediately instructed his staff to arrange a press conference.

After making the arrangements, he then instructed others to prepare some investigation reports.

An investigation report revealed that some M60 tanks were locked, leading to their complete annihilation by the Houthi rebels.

After assigning these tasks, he called the front lines to inquire about the situation there.

When he learned that the people on the front lines were still exchanging fire with the Houthi rebels across the border, he completely abandoned any thought of the front lines and focused all his attention on troop adjustments and smearing the Americans.

Meanwhile, on the border between Najran and Saada provinces.

The 7th Mechanized Infantry Brigade, transferred from northern Saudi Arabia, is harassing Houthi rebels across the border and through the darkness.

Saudi Arabia has a relatively low-lying terrain, so if they want to advance into Saada province, which is controlled by the Houthis, they will need to climb hills.

When you're climbing a hill, you'll get hit from above, which is like hitting an idiot.

The original plan was to launch an attack on the tanks to break up the enemy formation, and then the infantry would follow up.

Unfortunately, the plan failed from the start because America locked the tank.

Without tanks, they would need these infantrymen carrying wheeled armored vehicles to launch the attack.

Guaranteed to die!
The meager funds available in the military were insufficient to motivate these men to risk their lives.

In order to save their lives, the soldiers of the 7th Mechanized Infantry Brigade began to come up with all sorts of crazy tactics.

For example, they could learn from the classic tactics used during the standoff between Iran and Iraq, such as digging trenches in the desert and then driving wheeled assault vehicles into the trenches to use as machine gunners.

Upon seeing movement on the other side in the darkness, they opened fire with the vehicle-mounted machine gun.

After the vehicle-mounted machine guns have finished firing, let the infantry take over.

When the infantrymen ran out of bullets, the machine guns on the vehicles were loaded with bullets and switched to the machine guns.

Annoyed by their attacks, the Houthi fighters picked up their AKs, which had been through many hands, and began to shoot at the attackers.

You don't need to worry about whether anyone gets hit; you only need to worry about whether your bullets hit their targets.

The rest is up to fate.

In short, the main idea is that everyone should stay home and make noise.

Inside the Houthi positions, Bailhaz picked up his binoculars, peered into the darkness at the distant positions for a while, then turned to Izkar beside him and asked:

"Are they just bored and have nothing better to do?"

The sudden change of topic left Izcara unsure how to answer.

He lowered his head and thought for a long while before nodding slightly:

"I guess so!"

"I guess they were too full and afraid we would attack them and launch a surprise attack, so they didn't know how to digest their food and could only do these things."

"By the way, did you finish installing that thing the leader asked you to install?"

After asking Izkarak's question, Bailhaas poked his head out from his position and continued to observe the Saudi troops in the distance.

The question from behind made him turn his gaze back and crawl back into the trench: "You mean that communications base station?"

"Only three base stations were installed in Saada City; the rest were not installed because there was no power."

At this point, Bailerhaas couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Just then, the enemy started firing again. He grabbed Izcarra's gun, quietly stuck the muzzle out of the trench, and fired at the flashing gunfire in the distance.

Da da da!
After firing a magazine of 20 rounds, just as I was about to change magazines, Izkara handed me one, asking as he did so:
"How's the effect?"

Knowing what the other party was asking, Bailerhas quickly changed his magazine and nodded: "The effect is not bad!"

"At least we can make calls freely within signal coverage without being deciphered or eavesdropped on."

After answering the question, Bailerhaz poked his head out again and continued firing into the distance.

After firing 40 rounds, he returned the gun to Izcarra.

"Based on the current situation, the Saudis are unlikely to launch an attack, but you should still be careful."

"Remember, whether it's day or night, we need to deploy a large number of sentries, both visible and hidden."

"The Saudi soldiers may be stupid, but that doesn't mean they won't have a brain fart. If they do have a brain fart and send their entire army in, we will be outnumbered and poorly equipped, making it difficult to fight them head-on."

"If we can detect it in advance, we can turn the tables on them."

"Don't be afraid of being tired. Only when you're alive do you have the right to talk about being tired or not. Once you're dead, you have nothing left."

After giving his instructions to Izkala, Bailerhas slowly retreated from the position and disappeared into the darkness.

Meanwhile, Izkara, who remained in place, picked up his binoculars and continued to observe the other side.

Upon discovering that the opposing force was still using vehicle-mounted machine guns, switching to infantry after firing them, and vice versa, I turned the binoculars elsewhere.

Unfortunately, his binoculars lacked night vision capabilities, allowing him to barely make out some things using the dim light from the opposite position.

Recalling what Bailerhas had just said, Izkar quickly summoned several subordinates, assigned two of them the task of staying behind to guard the position, and then led the remaining men to begin moving along the mountainside towards the border.

Upon reaching the border, they did not choose to cross into Saudi Arabia, but instead searched westward along the border.

They were located in a high-altitude mountainous area at an altitude of over 1800 meters.

The terrain here is quite steep, so if we want to launch a surprise attack, we can only send small groups of troops to break in.

No matter what method they use, they will leave traces. Once you find those traces, the rest will be easy.

They searched along the border all night, covering dozens of kilometers, until the first light of dawn appeared in the east, but Izkar's elite squad still couldn't find the Saudi special forces he had imagined.

He chuckled self-deprecatingly, turned around, and waved his hand towards the east:
"Let's go back to our positions!"

Traveling at night and traveling during the day are not the same thing. When traveling at night, they can only travel a few kilometers per hour.

But during the day, the road is wide and perfect for traveling.

As soon as they approached the position, the group saw the people on the other side firing guns, singing, and dancing.
