The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

the next morning.

Anwar held a press conference and announced that the Saudi army had taken control of the area and eliminated more than 8,000 rebel militants. Anwar urged the rebels to surrender immediately, saying that resistance would only lead to death.

The reporters were in an uproar.

Those who are sent here as reporters and can get first-hand information at any time all have a good understanding of this place.

They all knew that this kind of mountain warfare was very difficult.

As a result, in just a short period of time, the Saudi military had eliminated more than 8,000 rebel militants and took control of the place.

Is Saudi Arabia’s military so strong?
Just ask the US military to know how difficult mountain warfare is. When the US military was on the battlefield in Afghanistan, it was troubled by mountain warfare and suffered heavy losses.

It didn't take Saudi Arabia long to achieve such a great victory.

Look at the rebel forces, they have now lost control of all cities.

Now even one of the rebel nests has been destroyed, which means there are only three rebel forces left.

Can Saudi Arabia really help the Yemeni government completely wipe out the rebel forces and end the war in Yemen?

Saudi Arabia sent troops this time at the invitation of the Yemeni government, which also proposed the proposal at the UAE meeting. All member states voted unanimously to send coalition forces into Yemen to help the Yemeni government eliminate rebels and restore peace in Yemen.

The news quickly spread throughout the world through various media, causing an uproar and widespread attention around the world.

Various military experts made comments and commented on the matter.

Many military commentators are reassessing the strength of the Saudi military and the combat effectiveness of the Arab coalition.

This is true even in the United States.

The United States has fought mountain guerrilla warfare against Afghan guerrillas in Afghanistan for more than ten years and is well aware of the difficulties of such mountain warfare.

Even if we have air superiority, even if the mechanized troops are armed to the teeth, it is of no use.

There is no road and it is rough and difficult to travel.

Mechanized troops were greatly restricted, and even transportation was not as good as using donkeys.

This can be seen from the fact that the US-led coalition has long maintained at least 500,000 donkeys.

Now the Saudi army has taken over this area in such a short time, which makes the Pentagon question its life.

The Pentagon knows best how easy it is to defend and difficult to attack there.

The Pentagon sent a team to teach them how to fight mountain guerrilla warfare.

During the Afghan War, the U.S. military seized a lot of teaching materials on mountain guerrilla warfare, including books and film and television works, and also accumulated a lot of experience.

The Pentagon also hopes to turn Yemen into a huge quagmire, constantly bleeding Saudi Arabia and undermining Saudi Arabia's prestige, thereby provoking conflicts among Arab countries and preparing for launching a color revolution in Saudi Arabia.

If Saudi Arabia spends a large amount of money on Yemen, it will not be able to maintain high social welfare when it runs out of money. At that time, various contradictions will gradually become acute, and there will be a lot of room for manipulation.

When it comes to construction, the United States is not very good, but when it comes to destruction, the United States is professional.

The United States will never be ashamed of it, but rather proud of it.

More news about the conflict in Yemen continues to reach the world.

All of a sudden, the Yemen conflict became the hottest topic in the world, even surpassing the proxy wars between the United States and Russia in Libya and Syria.

In just one month, the Arab coalition announced that the joint operations of the coalition and Saudi government forces had completely wiped out the rebel armed elements, put an end to the war in Yemen, and brought peace back to the Yemeni people.

The war in Yemen has ended and the rebel forces have been almost wiped out.

Even if there are still some rebel armed elements hiding, they can no longer cause any big waves.

To regain control of various cities and coastal ports, the Yemeni government has stepped up inspections, especially of merchant ships from Europe and the United States.

The 'Arab Spring' dealt a heavy blow to Yemen's economy.

After regaining control of the entire Yemen, the Yemeni government strengthened Internet management. Although it did not dare to ban the American Internet, it also greatly restricted the American Internet and strengthened management and supervision.

Golan Heights.

Oil and gas are being extracted.

Natural gas is transported through natural gas pipelines to various cities in Syria, to Israel, or to ports, and then exported to European countries via LNG ships.

Oil is extracted, crude oil is transported to refineries, refined into finished oil products and exported to European countries.

The main export market for Syria's oil and natural gas is Europe.

Although Syria is not an energy-rich country, this already accounts for the bulk of Syria's exports.

The 'Arab Spring' spread to Syria, and the Syrian government sent out military and police to suppress it forcefully, but rebel forces continued to emerge.

There are three main rebel armed forces: one is supported by Türkiye, one is the Kurdish armed forces in Libya, and one is supported by the United States and Israel.

Syria immediately strengthened the defense of the Golan Heights to prevent the other side from launching military adventures.

You should know that the proven oil reserves in the Golan Heights currently account for more than half of Syria’s proven oil reserves.

Although the cost of mining is higher, it is very important to Syria.

Not to mention the strategic location of the Golan Heights. Once the Golan Heights falls into the hands of Israel, Syria will be passive and Israel will have the final say on when the war will start and when it will end.

The oil field is being exploited, the flag of China Petroleum is fluttering in the wind, and the employees of China Petroleum seem to be unaware of the tense atmosphere in the air as they are having a sports meeting.

Employees from China only have one month's leave each year to return home to visit their families. Normally, everyone stays in the factory and does not go out easily.

After all, the world is not peaceful and it is easy to get into danger when going out.

The annual sports meet is one of the few happiest things for everyone.

The bright five-star red flag flutters in the wind, as if telling the outside world that this is a company from China.

China is not only the world's factory. Over the years, Chinese companies have also invested in various parts of the world, whether in mining, farms, ranches, oil and gas, or shopping malls.
China has extensive trade overseas, not only because of the importance of air routes to China's export trade, but also because there are a large number of Chinese companies investing overseas and Chinese people working overseas.

Companies like China National Petroleum Corporation's investment here have equipped themselves with a large number of security personnel to protect the safety of the factory.

The Golan Heights' current oil and gas production accounts for more than half of Syria's oil and gas.

The energy production here brings a lot of income to Syria.

In addition, China National Petroleum Corporation has invested in an oil refinery and established a chemical base in Syria.

At this time, a meeting was going on in the factory director's office.

In addition to the factory director, deputy director, security director and other factory leaders, there were also several Syrians. Syrian officials introduced the current situation in Syria.

Since the outbreak of the "Arab Spring" in Syria, although the Syrian government has dispatched military and police to suppress it, it has also given various forces an excuse. The three major rebel armed forces, including the Kurdish armed forces, have attacked the Syrian government.

The Syrian government forces have spent more than half a year but have still failed to suppress the rebellion.

Due to the huge investment in military spending, the Syrian government felt tremendous pressure and had to seek help from Saudi Arabia and other countries.

If it weren't for the support from Saudi Arabia and others, the rebel armed forces would have grown stronger long ago.

"Mr. Assad, thank you for your sincerity, but we will not withdraw from here easily!" Huang Zhonghua pondered for a moment and said firmly.

Assad was dressed simply and looked a little haggard.

After taking over Syria, Assad has been working hard, but the Battle of the Golan Heights, the Iraq War, the world economic crisis and the current "Arab Spring" have continued to impact Syria, causing Syria to fall into war again and again.

In recent years, Syria has been barely doing okay, with some energy income and a petrochemical industry that have prevented it from being too poor.

However, Syria does not have abundant oil and natural gas like Saudi Arabia, which has made Syria a developing country and its life is far worse than that of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.

Assad sometimes feels that it would be better to be a doctor.

But now that he has reached this position, he can't do it whenever he wants or not.

"Huang, according to our intelligence, Israel may take a military risk and launch an attack on the Golan Heights. Although we are confident that we can defend the Golan Heights and thwart the Jewish conspiracy, it is too risky for you to stay here," Assad said in a deep voice.

Assad has a good impression of China.

During his many years in power in Syria, Assad has had many dealings with China, and the exchanges between the two sides are constantly strengthening.

China is the only country that will build schools, hospitals, roads and railways in Syria, which will truly help Syria's development.

China provides humanitarian aid to Syria every year without any additional conditions and at no cost to Syria.

This is completely different from European and American countries.

It can be said that China has provided great help to Syria.

It is precisely because of this that Assad personally came to the Golan Heights, told Huang Zhonghua the current situation, and suggested that Huang Zhonghua and others evacuate.

After all, once a modern war breaks out, facing airplanes and tanks, such a factory can easily be destroyed, and the casualties will be very heavy.

Huang Zhonghua said: "Assad, don't worry, if things are impossible, we will evacuate in time."

He would not evacuate unless he received orders from above.

This project was invested by China National Petroleum Corporation, and so far, the cost has not been fully recovered.

Of course, Huang Zhonghua will also report the situation to his superiors. As for how they make decisions, that depends on them.

Israel.

U.S. Army Headquarters in Israel.

In addition to the 3 U.S. troops stationed on Israel's border, there are also 1000 Marines.

All of these are under the command of the US military headquarters in Israel.

Fred is the commander of the U.S. military headquarters in Israel. This position is considered to be very good and quite lucrative.

The most important thing is that you can establish good relations with Israel or the Jews, and it will be easy to get promoted.

And most importantly, there is no hassle.

After all, whether it is Palestine, Syria or Lebanon, no one will have the courage to attack the US military. The deterrent power of the US military is still very strong.

But Fred's face was not looking good now, because Israel was mobilizing troops and gathering forces.

Judging from the fundamental situation, Israel is likely to launch military action.

Israel's military actions are nothing more than in two directions. One is Palestine, to seize more land and increase Israel's territory; the other is the Golan Heights, which is a strategic location with abundant oil and natural gas, as well as water resources that Israel urgently needs. It is also a military strategic location. Only by taking it can Israel gain an advantage over Syria.

As for Lebanon, as long as the Golan Heights is in Syria's hands, Israel will not be able to launch an operation against Lebanon, because the narrow passage is directly within the artillery range of the Golan Heights.

As for the Golan Heights, Syria has already built a complete military defense system, which is a real fortress. It is unknown how many bunkers and hidden bunkers have been built.

Israel didn’t win the war back then, so its hope of taking the Golan Heights now is not great.

And now that the United States has so many troops stationed in Israel, it can easily be dragged into the water by Israel.

Although, because of Israel, the United States is engaged in a proxy war with Russia in Syria.

But in fact, the scale of this proxy war was not large, and the US and Russian armies did not fight directly.

One side supports the rebel forces, while the other side supports the Syrian government forces.

Moreover, if Israel starts a war, Palestine, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon will probably form an alliance immediately, and Israel will have no advantage at all.

Even though Israel has an advantage in weapons and equipment, its territory is too small, a tiny area with no territorial depth at all.

Previous wars have long shown that once a war breaks out, Israel itself will suffer heavy losses.

If Israel attacks the Golan Heights, there will also be a great risk, after all, there are oil and gas fields of China National Petroleum Corporation there.

The chain reaction is too serious and the consequences are unimaginable.

Fred had to contact the Pentagon and seriously demand that Israel's military adventure be prevented.

After withdrawing from Iraq, Israel has become the only strategic fulcrum of the United States in the Middle East.

If Israel disappears, the United States will lose its only strategic fulcrum in the Middle East, and its influence in the Middle East will inevitably be further weakened.

Fred couldn't help but complain in his heart that Israel was too bold.

You have to know that Israel’s current total population is only seven or eight million. Even if everyone is a soldier, a large number of troops can be mobilized at critical times.

But the problem is that Israel is too small.

If war breaks out, the whole of Israel will become a battlefield, because missiles and artillery can attack any corner of Israel.

The Arabs will not talk about war civilization with Israel.

Because the Jews never spoke of it before.

Fred ordered the U.S. military to be prepared at all times, especially in terms of air defense.

To prevent the US military camp from becoming the first target of attack. (End of this chapter)
