Chapter 1081 The Sixth Middle East War?

The coalition reinforcements arrived in Afghanistan, especially the United States mobilized special forces such as the Navy SEALs, Green Berets, Rangers, and Delta Force to conduct special operations in Afghanistan, which dealt a heavy blow to the guerrillas.

For a time, the coalition forces continued to win victories in Afghanistan, and there was a trend of conquering the entire Afghanistan in one fell swoop.

By March, the coalition ground forces had reached 200,000 people, all of whom were advanced weapons and equipment troops, all mechanized troops, and tanks and infantry fighting vehicles were everywhere.

In addition, the Air Force controlled the air supremacy and could provide air fire support at any time.

Cities were captured by the coalition forces one after another.

Just as the world's attention was focused on the Afghan war, there was news about the Afghan war almost every day, and with the extremist organizations wreaking havoc in Europe and the United States, there was no shortage of news in the world.

But at this time, the war in the Middle East reignited.

The situation that was originally suppressed by the Americans was directly out of control because of the Israeli army's large-scale attack on Palestine. The eyes of the world involuntarily turned to the Middle East and paid attention to Palestine and Israel.

Although Afghanistan has all kinds of news, the war has been going on for six months after all. The coalition forces are much stronger than the guerrillas, and everyone is tired of the news.

But Palestine and Israel are different. The strength of the two sides will not be too different. In addition, there are Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Iraq around them. This is a real powder keg. Once a war breaks out, it is very likely to trigger the sixth Middle East war.

The Israeli army attacked and seized strategic locations, dividing the Gaza River and Jerusalem into two halves. According to Israel, they want to restore the border between the two sides in 1980.

Once the war starts, the entire Middle East will be involved, and the outbreak of the sixth Middle East war is almost inevitable.

The Middle East is the world's energy center and the world's largest oil exporter. Any disturbance will be immediately reflected in the international crude oil price.

Sure enough, the Israeli army attacked the Palestinian Defense Forces, the Palestinian-Israeli war broke out, and the international crude oil price immediately soared. On that day, the international crude oil price exceeded US$30 per barrel.

Even the price of natural gas rose accordingly.

After Palestine expressed its attitude, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan also expressed a tough attitude.

On the first night, artillery shells, rockets, and missiles continued to appear in the sky of Israel.

Israel's defense system could not defend against so many artillery shells, rockets, and missiles.

And this was just the counterattack of the Palestinian Defense Force.

After the independence of Palestine, the National Defense Force was established. In recent years, it has not really put the weapons into the warehouse and let the horses go to the south mountain. Military strength has also been built.

"Boom~~"

A building was attacked by a missile, collapsed with a loud bang, and a fire broke out.

"Boom~~"

A shell hit a civilian house and exploded.

It was just a small place with no strategic depth. Once the war started, it was within the attack range of the Palestinian Defense Force.

The two sides had already exchanged fire last year.

But because the Americans suffered a huge blow on September 11, the war that was about to break out between the two sides was forcibly suppressed.

But that was just suppressed, which did not mean that the contradiction between the two sides was resolved.

If the contradiction is not resolved, it will always exist.

Look, Israel took the lead in sending out a large army to provoke a war.

In the United States, the White House has been repaired long ago.

From the outside, it can't be seen that it has been attacked.

In the conference room, George Walker convened an emergency meeting. The participants included his cabinet members and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the United States, Richard Myers.

To be honest, the outbreak of war between Palestine and Israel at this time is not what the United States wants to see, because the focus of the United States is on Afghanistan.

Therefore, last year the United States strongly suppressed the impending war between Palestine and Israel.

"John, tell everyone about the current situation!" George Walker looked at George John Tenet.

George John Tenet is the director of the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States. He is a centrist of the Democratic Party. After George Walker ascended to the throne, he appointed him to continue to serve as the director of the CIA.

This is a person with rich experience and strong ability. He has a bachelor's degree in weapons control from Georgetown University and a master's degree in international affairs from Columbia University. In 1982, he assisted Senator John Heinz in dealing with arms control and foreign policy issues, and was later promoted to Director of the Senate Intelligence Committee Office. He served as Chief Intelligence Advisor to the National Security Council since 1993, Deputy Director of the CIA in 1995, and Director of the CIA in 1997.

During Tenet's four years as Director of the CIA, the CIA underwent a substantial transformation. The CIA established an intelligence system with the mission of "searching for difficult targets that threaten US interests around the world" and "using accurate and timely intelligence to protect the lives of officers and soldiers in the US armed forces, prevent the transfer of dangerous weapons, prevent atrocities by extremist militants, and stop illegal commercial activities." It was because of Tenet's outstanding ability that George Walker continued to appoint him as Director of the CIA.

Tenet stood up and reported to everyone about the war between Palestine and Israel and the chain reaction it caused.

In fact, the CIA had already obtained intelligence when Israel was preparing for action. Tenet personally reported to George Walker, who specifically asked National Security Advisor Rice to go to Israel to stop Israel's military action.

After all, the United States is now focusing on Afghanistan and does not want to cause trouble.

But I didn't expect that Neta, the bastard, promised well, but now he actually started a war, making the United States particularly passive.

Everyone frowned as they listened to Tenet's report.

The war in Afghanistan costs tens of billions of dollars every month. The focus of the United States now is to solve Afghanistan, eliminate guerrillas and "jihad organizations", kill Bin Laden, and control Afghanistan, so as to avenge the Americans who died and injured last year, give an explanation to the American people, and gain an advantage in the geopolitical game.

The outbreak of the Israeli-Palestinian war is not in the interests of the United States.

But Israel is the most important ally of the United States in the Middle East, and the only ally. It is the most important fulcrum for the United States to exert influence in the Middle East. Israel must be protected.

In addition, many American elites are Jews. Jews control major American TV stations and newspapers. Jews have a huge influence in the media; in finance, many Jews are bankers and control many American banks.

If they do not stand with Israel this time, they don't have to think about the next term, and the days ahead will not be easy.

There is a revolving door in the US and the business world.

No one wants to burn their own bridges and throw away the opportunity to make a fortune. That's a fool.

Therefore, it is inevitable to stand with Israel. There is no choice, but there is also a strategy to protect Israel.
