Crossing through time 04, I blew up the American aircraft carrier.

Kata, located on the western shore of the Persian Gulf, is situated on a peninsula with a total area of ​​just over 10,000 square kilometers. The terrain is flat, mostly desert, and rich in oil resources.

Geographically speaking, it is not only the center of the Persian Gulf, but also the center of the entire Middle East!

The Americans had their eyes on this place long ago. In 2001, they made it the command center for their Middle East operations. The Iraq War in 03 was remotely commanded from here!

Located about 35 kilometers southwest of the capital of Qatul, it has been developed into the largest comprehensive military base of the United States in the Middle East: Al Udeid Air Base!

The 4,500-meter runway is so wide that even a B-52 bomber can take off with ease!

Not only are there numerous ground-level helipads, but there are even underground hangars!

After 03, a large number of aircraft from the Prince Sultan Air Base were transferred here, which greatly reduced the losses of the Prince Sultan Air Base.

If this had been bombed when the air force was stationed there at its peak... it would have been a nightmare!

Even so, it's enough to give the Americans a run for their money!

At Al Udeid Air Base, General Horace Welch, the highest-ranking U.S. Air Force commander in the Middle East, wore a somber expression.

"Damn it, who did this? If we find out, we'll hang them all! Leave no one alive!"

In 03, the entire Iraq-Turkey War resulted in the loss of only eight fighter planes, some of which were hit by friendly Patriot missiles and others lost in mid-air collisions... The actual losses on the battlefield were very small.

What now?

The air force base suffered heavy losses from just one surprise attack!

Sixteen F-16s, twenty-four F-15s, eight Black Hawks... This is only the preliminary count. Firefighters are currently working hard to extinguish the fire, and further damage reports will be available after the fire is put out.

The explosion of the ammunition depot alone could affect all the aircraft, and the overall loss would probably exceed one hundred!

Even though the U.S. Air Force is very wealthy, it still has its pride!

Countless media personnel have already rushed to the scene, and the devastating losses at the Prince of Sudan Air Force Base have spread throughout the world!

Revenge is necessary!

The enemy flew away in a C-130 transport plane, so now it's time for their Al Udeid Air Base to send planes to Saudi Arabia's territory and shoot down that damned plane! Let everyone on board die!

Besides fighter jets, early warning aircraft also need to be deployed. After all, even the most powerful E-3 cannot monitor the situation near the Prince Sultan Air Base over Katau. That aircraft was flying at extremely low altitudes, beyond the detection capabilities of ground-based radar networks...

"Report!"

"Come in!"

"The Saudi side replied that they refused our plane entry into their airspace."

"What?"

General Horace Welch's face darkened further: "Hmph, they dare to harbor the attackers! Issue the order! Without my permission, our fighter jets will also enter my airspace. I'd like to see if they dare to shoot them down!"

"Of course they wouldn't dare! Besides, even if they did, they wouldn't have the capability!" Commander John Jr. of the 379th Air Expeditionary Squadron of the U.S. Air Force chimed in. "They're flying fighter jets made in the U.S.!"

"Their ground radar network is also ours. We can easily manipulate it to prevent their radar from detecting our aircraft entering," said Richard, the technical officer, on the other end.

"No need for tricks, just let them see what happens when our planes get in!" General Horace Welch gritted his teeth. "Their airspace should be open to us all along!"

"Won't this... incite Sha's anger? After all, there's already a group within their royal family who oppose getting too close to us."

"Hmph, we need to show them that the anger of a sheep can never outweigh the retaliatory strike of a lion!" General Horace Welch said proudly. "By the way, we also need to expedite the ban on using fertilizers to manufacture weapons. Is there a plan?"

"have……"

Sha, the royal palace.

"Report! We've just received information that a US aircraft has crossed the border and entered our airspace!"

"What?"

Although American planes frequently fly over Saudi Arabia, and although large swathes of Saudi Arabia's territory are desert, and their flights don't have any substantial impact, however...

This behavior by the Americans has aroused the indignation of countless people.

"Hmph, they really don't treat themselves like guests," Aziz said. "Ever since their planes entered our territory in '91, they've acted like they're the masters!"

"We also need to consider the feelings of our American friends. The Prince Sultan Air Base was bombed, and they suffered heavy losses. Now the attackers are on the run, which is a good opportunity to capture them. If we are too late, they may get away completely."

"Bandar, can't we arrest criminals on our own soil? Why do we have to make the Americans do it?"

"Well... I'm afraid we can't do it ourselves! If it weren't for the Americans back then, Saddam's armored forces could have reached Riyadh!"

Inside the palace, everyone else lowered their heads. Was the conflict between these two finally about to be made public?

The royal family of Shah was never a monolithic entity. Although on the surface, the younger brother ascended the throne after the elder brother's death, creating a harmonious scene of brotherly love and respect, in reality... there was no shortage of open and covert struggles within the family!

Bandar served as the ambassador to the United States from 83 until 05, and only returned this year. This guy has countless American brothers, so it's understandable that he is close to the United States in his stance.

As for Sultan, he controlled Shah's armed forces from 1963 until his death in 2011, a full 48 years in power, witnessing the entire process of Shah's army transforming from camel cavalry to modern forces!

This guy was born in 1925 and is a senior member of the royal family! It was from him that Shah bought the Dongfeng-3, the weapon that stabilized the country.

"That's right, we were fortunate to have the Americans back then, but who could have imagined that we were letting a wolf into our house!"

Within the royal family, a quarrel has finally come to the forefront!

The remote Sada Mountains.

Badr al-Din al-Housse listened quietly as his subordinates recounted the bombing of the Sultan's Prince Air Base and the reactions from both sides, his expression complex.

"Hassan's move was brilliant!"

Everyone else believed that Hassan was doing this to avenge Abdul-Houthi, since the planes that bombed Abdul-Houthi took off from the Prince Sultan Air Base.

Now it seems that he had a deeper meaning behind it, such as... further provoking the relationship between the United States and Sha!

Even he could only connect all this after seeing the outcome, but Hassan was able to plan ahead; his strategic vision is superb! With Hassan leading the way, the Houthis are sure to succeed!
