121: Chapter 121 A Rare Moment of Peace

Major General Zaha was naturally very pleased to see that the majority of the armored vehicles had been deployed to his troops. With over 2,000 armored vehicles in place, all his units were transformed from infantry brigade configurations to armored brigade configurations.

Major General Zaha was still somewhat unsatisfied and said, "The light weapons we need are still insufficient. Can we obtain a replenishment?"

General Faraj considered this and said, "I will communicate with the Glass House and strive to obtain a batch of light weapons aided by Iran."

General Faraj not only needed to communicate with the Glass House regarding the aid of light weapons but also needed to discuss the coordination between both sides for future combat operations.

It was impossible for the Syrian army to mobilize while the Glass House army just watched from the sidelines. Both sides still needed to formulate a joint combat plan; which direction to attack, who would be responsible for defense, who would be in charge of commanding the troops in that direction, and a series of other issues needed to be discussed and determined.

This also required time to coordinate and could not be arranged properly in the short term. It just so happened that the arms dealer also needed time to deliver the weapons and equipment, and Syria also needed time to train its troops. This period was the best opportunity to formulate the combat plan.

Major General Zaha felt helpless about this; Syria no longer had any military industrial enterprises, could not produce its own weapons and equipment, and could only passively wait for aid. This situation could not be changed in the short term.

"Chaos Company will soon deliver a batch of the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile purchased last time. Will I continue to be responsible for receiving them?" Major General Zaha asked.

"Continue to receive them. Prioritize replenishing your troops, and after the configuration is complete, transport the rest to the troops in Aleppo in the northwest." General Faraj made the arrangements.

"Yes, General." Major General Zaha replied.

He needed to leave immediately and return to Zarzur to arrange for his troops to be ready to receive the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile. The number of Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile being received this time was quite large, so the troops dispatched to receive them would not be few.

...

Jordan had recently obtained a rare moment of peace.

Due to shooting down a drone from Israel's Tel Nof Airbase, Israel could not figure out Jordan's true strength and suddenly suspended its reconnaissance and harassment of Jordan.

Upon seeing the news sent back by the border troops that Israel's incursions into Jordan's border had significantly decreased recently, Lieutenant General Ham was very happy.

Having purchased the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile and shooting down an Israeli drone shortly after its use proved that the combat performance of the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile was indeed excellent.

This made Israel not dare to act rashly, which was a matter worth celebrating for Jordan.

Otherwise, if Israeli fighter jets flew over Jordan's airspace every day, how could Lieutenant General Ham accept that? Without anti-aircraft missiles to intercept, he could only watch helplessly. Now that they had the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile, at least it made the Israeli Air Force less arrogant.

Lieutenant General Ham couldn't help but think about whether to purchase another batch of the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile to defend against Israel's airspace incursions. As long as they were equipped with enough Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile, Jordan's airspace could be guaranteed safe.

But thinking of Jordan's economic situation, Lieutenant General Ham's expression darkened. Jordan really did not have much capital to wantonly purchase weapons and equipment.

Although located in the Persian Gulf region, it was not a country rich in oil and natural gas; on the contrary, its oil and natural gas reserves were very scarce, and it needed to import both.

After consideration, Lieutenant General Ham decided to talk to the King of Jordan. After analyzing the pros and cons, the King would decide whether to continue purchasing the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile.

...

The border of Lebanon also obtained a rare moment of peace.

After shooting down a drone and an F-16 Fighter Jet from Israel's Harem Air Force Base, Israel suspended its reconnaissance patrols entering Lebanon and no longer sent fighter jets to harass Lebanon's airspace every day.

Major General Ita was unwilling to give up and later dispatched a drone from Harem Air Force Base to try to continue to figure out the situation in Lebanon, but he did not obtain any valuable intelligence at all.

Instead, the drone was attacked by Lebanon's anti-aircraft missiles and almost crashed. After returning to Harem Air Force Base, the fuselage was damaged in many places and needed a major overhaul before it could continue to be used.

Only then did Major General Ita suspend the execution of various missions against Lebanon. He was also afraid that if he continued to send fighter jets to Lebanon and they were shot down and destroyed again, his position would really not be secure.

Major General Ita later learned that the pilot of the F-16 Fighter Jet had been captured by Lebanon, so he immediately sent officials to Lebanon to communicate, hoping to release the captured pilot.

Lebanon would not easily agree and put forward conditions including no more incursions into Lebanon's airspace and compensation of 10 million USD for Lebanon's losses, hoping to make Israel reduce its incursions against Lebanon.

After hearing the conditions, Major General Ita did not agree at all. Compensating for Lebanon's losses was one thing, but making Israel stop encroaching on Lebanon was simply impossible.

The two sides kept haggling and could not reach a consensus, so the matter was slowly shelved. The pilot continued to be detained at a secret location in Beirut, waiting for the day he could see the light of day again.

Major General Moss was very excited about using the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile to shoot down an Israeli drone and an F-16 Fighter Jet.

This was one of the few major combat achievements for Lebanon in recent years and also a major blow to Israel. How could such a result not make Major General Moss happy?

Major General Moss wanted to further increase the procurement of the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile; he wanted to increase the quantity of the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile through bank loans.

However, the two banks that Major General Moss talked to did not really approve, believing that it was impossible for Lebanon to get rid of Israel's airspace incursions just by relying on one type of anti-aircraft missile; this would only be a waste of funds.

As for Major General Moss's proposal, these two banks refused without a second thought. They believed that only by groveling at Israel's feet would Lebanon obtain a guarantee of safety; wanting to launch a counterattack against Israel would only bring greater losses.

Major General Moss was very angry but could do nothing about these two banks. After all, these two banks had the USA and European countries as their background and could not be easily offended. Even if their remarks were more excessive, Major General Moss did not dare to bring people to arrest them directly.

After all, if he really did that, Major General Moss could not bear the consequences.

It seemed he could only look for other banks to discuss with or find other ways to raise funds to purchase the Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile.

As long as there were enough Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile, Major General Moss believed that Lebanon's airspace would be safer.
