v2 Chapter 1480： enemy in action

So at the same time, an emergency meeting was also held in the palace of Muscat, the capital of Oman, to discuss the feasibility of sending troops to Fucaira. In fact, it can no longer be said to be feasible, and it may be more appropriate to arrange a combat plan.

Of course, sitting on the main seat must be the Sultan Qaboos bin Said of Oman.

Qaboos bin Saeed was born on November 18, 1940 in Salalah, Dhofar province, to Saeed bin Taymur. In 1960, he graduated from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, UK. later in the British Army.

In 1962, Qaboos graduated from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, England, and became an officer in the British Army Rifle Corps, serving six months as a lieutenant and one year in West Germany. In 1964, Qaboos returned to Oman, his father could not tolerate his progressive ideas, so he was placed under house arrest in the palace for six years.

July 23, 1970, with the help of the British government. Qaboos commanded loyal army officers and soldiers to launch a palace coup and overthrew his father's conservative regime; he became the fourteenth Omani monarch and served as prime minister, and changed the country's name from the Muscat Sultanate to the Oman Sultanate.

In 1973, at the request of Qaboos, British troops withdrew from Oman, and Oman ended its status as a British protectorate. It can be said that this Juedu is also a ruthless man, who can make a father's rebellion at the age of 30, and successfully ascend to the throne.

No matter in which country, they are not simple people.

Qaboos and Prince Derecht of Sharjah were classmates, and the two had a very good relationship; most importantly, the latter saved his life. After all, when I went to study in the UK at that time, it could be said that I had no relatives; everyone was a member of the royal family in the Middle East, and it was reasonable to take care of each other. Therefore, when De Ligt found him, he hoped that he could help Sharjah uphold justice; coupled with the generous offer, Qaboos was embarrassed to refuse.

Most members of the royal family in the Middle East will go to the Royal Military Academy of Sandhurst in the United Kingdom to study. After graduation, as usual, they will serve in the British army for a period of time. It was at that time that Qaboos and De Ligt met and even became friends.

During a military performance, Qaboos accidentally injured his foot, but at this time a military truck rushed over. De Ligt didn't think about it, he immediately hugged Qaboos and started rolling towards the roadside. The two of them are also dead, but only a little scratched. If it is a few seconds late, it is estimated that Qaboos will be in danger.

Because of this, the relationship between the two instantly warmed up and became very good friends. Although De Ligt did not inherit the position of chief, he was able to be so arrogant in Sharjah, and his friendship with Qaboos was somewhat directly related.

In fact, Oman is not without ideas for Fucaira, if Fucaira belongs to them; then the land can be connected to a city. The chokepoint on the Persian Gulf side will all belong to them. At that time, its influence in the world will inevitably increase significantly.

Before the birth of the UAE, emirates, large and small, existed for centuries, mostly hereditarily ruled by a single tribe. This way of ruling is different from that of modern sovereign states. Before modern times, control over land was often obtained through various means such as marriage, transaction and war. Chiefs often regarded these lands as their own private property, and they had a greater power to deal with them. arbitrariness.

The border between the United Arab Emirates and Oman is complex, and the central part of the border is tortuous and tactful; therefore, the demarcation of the border is very difficult, and there is no way to clarify it at all. And many of them have historical origins, so it doesn't matter who it is. The most important is the Qaboos family and the Sala family, and their ancestors are also married.

Strictly speaking, people also have the right to inherit Fucaira. Salad is a girl after all and is not recognized in the Middle East. And because of the participation of the Black Cloud Group, it can be said that there is a good reason to find Fucaira in trouble.

Qaboos said to the people below: "You must have seen the conditions offered by Prince Sharjah Derecht. And the benefits of annexing Fucaira, I don't need to say anything more. Baozixuan people Having come over, the reason becomes even stronger.”

"If we don't do it now, we may not have a chance in our life. Fucaira buys so many weapons and equipment from the United States and the Soviet Union, especially naval ships and submarines. If a combat force is formed, it can control the entire Persian Gulf at any time. Until then , we will be more passive.”

In fact, after Qaboos ascended the throne, the modernization process was implemented in the country, and Oman has undergone tremendous changes since then. Qaboos's government is an absolute monarchy, and unlike neighboring Saudi Arabia, his decisions are not discussed by other royals. But he also loosened his rule over the people to a certain extent after he ascended the throne, allowing newspapers to exist, and establishing higher schools. With oil resources, Oman became a moderately prosperous Gulf state, built highways, built restaurants and shopping centers, and established a social welfare system.

It can be said that at present in Oman, Qaboos has absolute authority. As long as it is something he decides, no one dares to object.

Although Oman has a small number of troops, it has a large number of troops. The current total strength is more than 50,000 people. Of these, 35,000 were in the Army, 4,200 in the Navy, 4,100 in the Air Force, and 6,500 in the Royal Guard.

And because the military conflict with the people's camp for the liberation of Oman has just ended, there are many veterans in the country. If necessary, the force can be quickly expanded to 100,000 people.

Heiyun Group is just a company with strong economic strength; but there are not many people who can really fight. Although Sharjah suffered great losses before, Qaboos believes that it was because the Sharjah army was too weak in combat and rashly attacked due to insufficient preparation.

After all, he graduated from the British military academy, and there is still some concern about the strong electronic interference used by Fucaira. For this purpose, the anti-jamming equipment was specially purchased from the United States; the effect of the current test is perfect.

Badr is Qaboos' right-hand man, a senior military commander. Regarding the war between Sharjah and Fucaira, he carefully analyzed the comparison of technical means and strengths of the two sides. It is concluded that even if Oman is an equal number of troops, it is not an opponent of Fucaira.

But now Qaboos has absolute authority, and the purpose this time is very clear; that is to take Fucaira, and connect Musandam province to the mainland. At that time, Oman's position in the Persian Gulf, and even the whole world, will not be whispered.

Oman is the earliest shipbuilding base in the Middle East, so the cities on the north shore of the Persian Gulf were basically controlled by them. Previously, Fucaira was chosen before Oman and the United Arab Emirates; but it is disappointing that the United Arab Emirates was chosen. I wanted to do it for a long time, but the British insisted on not agreeing to it for the sake of regional stability; therefore, the matter was stopped.

There is such a good opportunity now, if you give up; it is estimated that as His Majesty the Sultan Qaboos said, there will never be a chance.

But when it's time to be reminded, be reminded. The army suffers, and as a commander, it will inevitably follow.

Badr said very seriously: "His Majesty the Sultan, the Ministry of Defense plans to attack Fujairah from three sides by the Omani army, and the Sharjah army will support it. Three sides of land and one sea will surround Fujairah and attack. If all goes well, maybe two The battle will be over in a matter of days."

"However, the air force of Fucaira should not be underestimated. Although they are all Yak-31 aircraft, their combat effectiveness is not weak. Therefore, in the fight for air supremacy the army will inevitably sacrifice. And the Black Cloud Group With large bombers, we also have to consider that the homeland will be bombed."

"Fortunately, the Fucaira navy has not yet formed a combat capability. If all the warships and submarines they ordered return home. Then we will not be able to win, and there is no possibility of even a war."

Anyone who knows Qaboos knows that he is usually taciturn and does not praise himself; he does not speak much in public, but his sentences are concise and powerful, straight to the point, and do not engage in side-effects. And quick thinking, stable personality, do not panic.

Therefore, it can be said that we have carefully considered the attack on Fucaira. De Ligt's relationship is one thing, but definitely not the main reason. After all, taking care of him for so many years, any kind of kindness is estimated to have been repaid.

Qaboos: "We are not fighting for Sharjah, for the UAE, but to make Oman stronger and richer in the future; it can also be said that we are fighting for the living space of our children and grandchildren."

"Sacrifice in war is inevitable, but for the prosperity of the country and the prosperity of the people, it can be said that they deserve to die. As for the homeland being bombarded, arrange air defense forces. At the same time, I also ask you generals to be able to fight quickly; as long as it is to occupy Fucaira In the whole territory, I believe that even if there are bomber planes, there is no runway that can take off and land."
