Chapter 580 Russia: Look! It's our people! (First update!)

The others looked at each other and finally agreed to the general's suggestion. There was no other way; there were more than 1000 men, two tank battalions, one mechanized infantry battalion, plus some logistics personnel.

Moreover, he issued a challenge and marched to Saudi Arabia in a grand procession, only to have a large number of his men killed before he could even see them clearly.

What else is there to fight?
What a fart!

After discussing the public relations strategy for this matter, the group of generals turned their attention to the matter itself, such as the issue of compensation for the wounded and the reasons why they were so badly defeated this time.

Upon hearing these two questions, the generals, who had just been discussing the matter enthusiastically, instantly fell silent.

It's like a duck being choked.

Issues related to personnel compensation...

This is a big problem because, although this operation was an offensive, it was not within the combat zone designated by the Ministry of National Defense.

According to the standards set by the Ministry of National Defense, if the attacking side wants to receive death compensation, they must die on the way to the objective of the attack mission.

If we say we must attack point A, we must attack point A. We absolutely cannot attack point B. If we go to attack point B, then we are ignoring the mission objective.

As a defender, if you want to receive death benefits, you have to die in a defensive position. Even if you move to the next position to help defend it, that won't work.

This time, as they entered Saudi Arabia from Jordan, everyone in the Ministry of Defense was thinking about making a killing, but no specific mission objectives were assigned.

So although this group was the vanguard in the military operations command, in the eyes of the people under the Ministry of Defense responsible for assessing death benefits, these guys did not die on the way to the attack objective.

They died because they got lost!

I traveled all the way from Israel, got lost in Jordan, and then got lost in Saudi Arabia.

Is there a way to change it?

Yes, it's just that the Minister of Defense takes the lead, several generals present sign off, and then the death compensation for those injured or killed in this battle is given to them.

But nobody wants to be the first to do it!

Those present looked at each other, then laughed and let the matter drop.

Having bypassed the issue of personnel compensation, the remaining task became exploring why this operation resulted in such heavy casualties.

Once the topic of money was set aside, smiles returned to the faces of the generals present.

"It must have been done by Russians. Only those shameless Russians would do something like that."

"Sall went to Russia; he must have sent someone with him!"

"It must be Russian mercenaries who gathered all of Saudi Arabia's heavy artillery together and then launched a sneak attack. They're bastards, completely lacking in martial ethics."

"A sneak attack? These damned idiots, those damned Arabs, that's all they know how to do."

"We shouldn't have issued a challenge to them; we should have launched a surprise attack and used missiles against them."

"Yes, use missiles!"

The cacophony of voices, like hundreds of ducks, filled the room.

After arguing for a long time, no result was achieved.

Unlike them, the America Qatar Air Force Base was unusually quiet.

Benjamin took the documents handed to him by Staff Officer Parker, read them over and over again, and then looked up at Parker:
"Are you sure?"

"Why do I feel like this is a joke?"

“I’m not kidding!” Parker shook his head slightly, reached out, asked Benjamin for the documents, then passed them to him, pointing the text at Benjamin:
"According to the recollections of the Israeli deserters, the attacks they encountered were mostly direct fire."

"As we all know, the only large-caliber weapon capable of large-scale linear attacks is the tank."

"In other words, the weapons used to attack these Israeli idiots were not heavy artillery at all, but tanks, and direct fire from tank guns."

"According to the statements of several surviving tank crew members, after they were attacked, they immediately located the attackers, but when they tried to retaliate, they found that they could not see anyone at all."

"It's not because the enemy is hiding, but because their firing range is insufficient. Even when using indirect fire, their Merkava tanks can't reach the enemy!"

"And as we all know, the Merkava tank uses anti-personnel rounds with a curved firing range of 4.5 kilometers."

"That's quite intriguing!"

"However, those deserters didn't take the tanks with them when they fled back to Israel. Otherwise, we could have analyzed some things from the tank fragments."

"However, this intelligence is only the initial version. Once those trace experts have reviewed it, there will probably be more detailed information."

"The only thing I can't understand is how Israel could be so weak."

"If they're this bad, how come they were able to win five Middle East wars?"

Benjamin took the documents into his hands and lingered for a long time on the text describing how the Israeli soldiers had used high-explosive shells and fired them in a straight line.

A straight-line firing range exceeding 4.5 kilometers...

This……

I can't even imagine it!

With America's technology, a single cannon could achieve a straight-line firing range of 4.5 kilometers, but the problem was that this cannon couldn't be pulled and couldn't be mounted on a tank.

It can't even fit a destroyer.

What the fuck is this?
Could it be that those stupid Slavs dug this up from the Soviet Union's graveyard again?
What exactly was the Soviet Union doing back then?
What on earth did they get their hands on?!

After thinking for a while, Benjamin couldn't figure out what was recorded in the document, so he simply tossed it aside, looked at Parker in front of him, and explained with a playful expression:

"I want to correct you on one point: Israel has never been a fighting nation!"

"When they first established their nation, they relied on terrorism, on England and France, to kill the Arabs in Jaffa, which was originally Palestine, and that's how they came to control the land they have now."

"The reason they were able to fight in several Middle East wars was because after World War II, they absorbed a large number of World War II veterans from Europe, America, and especially the Soviet Union."

"Among these veterans, the focus is on Soviet World War II veterans."

"They brought the Soviet farm model to Israel, helping Israel overcome its initial crisis and solve its initial nurturing and care problems."

"It's a pity that the farm model brought from the Soviet Union disappeared with the collapse of the Soviet Union."

"The rapid policy shift was a slap in the face to those World War II veterans."

"Now, without those Soviet veterans training new recruits, they have no fighting power at all."

"So it's not surprising!"

"What I find strange is how Saudi Arabia, which is about the same level as them, can have such fighting power!"

After Benjamin finished speaking, he raised his hands and began to gently massage his temples.

I can't help it, it's giving me a headache.

Just as he was having a headache, another young staff officer pushed open the office door and placed a document in front of Benjamin:

"General, Saudi Arabia has issued a statement that they will award medals to the Russian tank crews involved in this incident at 10:00 AM the day after tomorrow in front of the Royal Palace!"

After the young staff officer finished speaking, he looked hesitant, as if he wanted to say something more. Seeing this, Benjamin nodded slightly, signaling him to finish. Receiving the signal, the young staff officer nodded, rolled his eyes, and said:

"They're awarding the Gold Star Medal from the former Soviet Union!"

“Pure gold!” The young staff officer added at the end, and these two sentences completely baffled Benjamin.

Having served in the military for decades, he felt he had seen it all.

But he had never seen what had happened in the past few days.

First, those Israeli fools informed Saudi Arabia that they were going to attack them, and even gave them the time and place, and then went there at the time and place they were told.

They were ambushed.

Then there are Saudi Arabia and Russia.

Russia has publicly banned an Islamic sect supported by the Saudi royal family. The two sides were originally mortal enemies, but Saudi Arabia went to Russia to recruit a bunch of mercenaries, and then had these mercenaries drive tanks to attack Israel.

Let's just forget about fighting.

After the battle, Saudi Arabia actually wanted to award the Soviet Union's Gold Star Medal to the Russian mercenaries.

The ghost of the Soviet Union still lingers on European soil, watching you!
Are you really not afraid that the Soviet Union will come after you Saudi Arabia?
He closed his eyes and thought for a while, then looked at the young staff officer:

“Send a message to the Florida headquarters and tell them I want to see this award ceremony!”

The young staff officer, who also loved watching the drama unfold, instantly understood Benjamin's idea, chuckled, and turned to leave.

Beside him, after the young staff officer left, Parker tidied up the documents on the table, nodded to Benjamin, and turned to leave as well.

In the end, only Benjamin was left in the office. He got up, went to the map, stared at it for a while, and shook his head.

…………

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

In Saeed's room, where everything had been rearranged, Sal, holding a cup of black tea filled with sugar, looked at Musa with a puzzled expression:
"I don't understand why you bring up the Soviet Union."

"You should know that we turned to America back then because we didn't want to be manipulated by the Soviet Union."

Musa also had a cup of black tea in his hand. He picked it up, stirred it gently with a spoon, and waited until the temperature was right before bringing it to his lips: "Because the Soviet Union is dead!"

"Moreover, others fear the revival of the Soviet Union!"

“By doing this, we can divert the attention of others to the Soviet Union, especially America.”

"My biggest impression from this trip to America is that the people of America have changed."

"They became less like Americans and more like Jews, doing things without regard for consequences, only caring about their own happiness."

“Especially their president, I feel that if he had a white skin, he might be more suited to be an Israeli.”

"So at this time, we need to give them a strong dose of medicine."

"A potent medicine they'll never forget!"

"To be honest, I never thought that just nine people and three tanks could stop so many Israelis."

"The more glorious their achievements, the more we Arabs seem... utterly useless."

Musa's words were too hurtful, so Sall decided not to speak to him and instead turned to ask his older brother for his opinion:
"Since the Soviet Union is going to award the Order of the Gold Star to these nine Russian mercenaries, shouldn't we inform Mr. Miyalavlovich?"

"I think the more lively this matter is, the better!"

Sayed lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Okay!"

"In a little while, send some information about the heroic fighting of these nine Russian soldiers, along with other relevant news, to our Mr. Miyalavlovich."

"Also, invite him to attend the ceremony!"

"It's going to be a lot of fun!"

"Also, remember to send all the relevant information to Lin Yi!"

Having received his older brother's opinion, he took a sip, finished his black tea, and put the teacup down: "I'll go arrange it right away!"

Less than half an hour after he left, the invitation and combat-related information were relayed to Russia through the diplomatic service.

The remaining information was also passed on to Lin Yi.

As the mastermind behind this incident, Miyanavlovich most wanted to see Saudi Arabia breached by Israel, or rather, placed in a quantum critical state between being breached and not being breached.

Only through repeated pressure will Saudi Arabia abandon its bottom line and seek help from Russia.

Instead of Saudi Arabia using Russians to win a resounding victory!

What kind of nonsense is this, that 9 people did the work of more than 1000 people?

I really wanted to yell at him, asking if he was joking, but when I thought of the guy next door who took on 17 opponents, and how there were tough guys like that everywhere, Mijelavlovich couldn't bring himself to say anything.

Forget it.

That's all in the past now.

If you can't fight against life, then you can only lie down and try to think about it from a different perspective.

For example, these nine warriors are from Russia; they are Russians, and they are the most elite soldiers!
With an idea in mind, Mijelavlovich put down the documents in his hand and turned to look at the Foreign Minister who had returned:
"Reply to Saudi Arabia that we are preparing to go there."

"Also, have our news agency publicize the heroic deeds of these nine soldiers."

"I want the whole world to know that we Russians are the most powerful people in the world!"

"We can take on a hundred men!"

Hearing Mijelavlovich's resounding words, the Foreign Minister breathed a sigh of relief and handed the documents he had just left in the car to the President.

"Sir, I was in a bit of a rush when I arrived, and I left this document in my car."

"This is combat information that we've received from Saudi Arabia. Take a look, and I'll go make the arrangements."

After putting down the documents, the Foreign Minister left Miyanavlovich's office as if his life depended on it.

Mijelavlovich, out of curiosity, picked up the documents that the Foreign Minister had brought him, opened the folder, and found that it contained some photos.

It looks like a photo of those nine brave warriors fighting valiantly.

Thinking of this, Mijelavnovich sped up the process of flipping through the photos, but as he looked, he realized something was wrong.

Why does this photo look like it was taken from a night vision perspective? And the target in the photo seems a little... too far away.

Mijelavlovich, a former intelligence agent and a man of action, sensed something was amiss. He immediately got up, retrieved some tools from under a nearby bookshelf, and took out a few sheets of draft paper.

Start by comparing the information in the photos, and then perform calculations.

In less than 10 minutes, he got the result he wanted.

The attacking tank was approximately 4.7 kilometers from the target.
