218: Chapter 218 Peace or War

To support Israel, the United States Department of Defense urgently transported the remaining reserve weapons and equipment from the European Theater Command to Israel, and even drew some weapons and equipment from active-duty units in the European Theater Command to transport to Israel.

The naval and air force transport units were unable to complete these military transport plans, so they directly utilized commercial transportation, hiring cargo planes and cargo ships to carry out transport missions from various warehouses and active-duty units in the European Theater Command to Israel.

The Central Theater Command also did its best to extract various weapons and equipment, transporting them to Israel via land, sea, and air, almost clashing with the Anti-Judea Coalition that was blockading the borders of Israel.

Since the Anti-Judea Coalition had not yet made final preparations, they could only restrain themselves and avoid combat with the USA. A helpless measure they adopted was to try their best to hinder the USA from using land transport to move weapons and equipment into Israel, while simultaneously physically blockading the Suez Canal.

Today, a ship touched the riverbank in one channel, requiring tugboats to tow it away, making the Suez Canal unusable. Tomorrow, a section of the channel would need to be repaired with a dredger, requiring a shutdown for a few days.

Whenever they discovered ships from the USA or other countries loaded with weapons and equipment, they would find various excuses to prevent or delay the use of the Suez Canal, postponing the time Israel could obtain these weapons and equipment.

Seeing this situation, the USA could only try its best to use military transport aircraft for delivery, especially on some routes, where 24-hour weapon and equipment transport had begun.

However, the Judean capital in the USA remained unsatisfied and continued to pressure the United States Department of Defense, demanding that more weapons and equipment be transported to Israel, even suggesting transport from the USA homeland to Israel.

After all, the European Theater Command had previously provided a lot of weapons to Little Screw, and the Central Theater Command had used a considerable amount of weapons in the war in Syria; these two commands did not have a particularly large amount of weapons to aid Israel.

To ensure Israel's troops could receive weapon and ammunition replenishment as soon as possible, transport from the USA homeland became very necessary.

Under repeated pressure, the United States Department of Defense had to directly use military transport aircraft to load various weapons and equipment from the homeland to carry out transport missions to Israel. The aided fighter jets took off from the homeland and headed directly to Israel to supplement the losses of Israel's fighter jets.

As for using sea transport for weapons and equipment, because the transport time was relatively long, it was directly abandoned under the interference of Judean capital. Even though the transport cost was very high, the Judean capital was willing to bear the expense, so the United States Department of Defense had to listen to the Judean capital.

The Israel military therefore had a steady stream of weapon and equipment replenishment, but the number of reserve troops recruited this time was indeed quite large, and the quantity of weapons and equipment needed was immeasurable. Even with the weapons and ammunition that the USA was trying every means to aid, it was still impossible to complete the replenishment immediately.

The Anti-Israel Coalition Joint Command naturally knew the news of the USA aiding Israel with weapons and equipment, but now that there was no no-fly zone designated over Israel, and no blockade of Israel's waters, they simply could not stop the various weapons and equipment of the USA from being transported to Israel.

Before making full preparations for an attack on Israel, the Anti-Judea Coalition had to allow the USA's weapons and equipment to flow into Israel. At most, they could only find ways to slow down the speed at which the USA handed over weapons and equipment to Israel.

Now, both the Anti-Judea Coalition and the Israel military were making every effort to complete combat preparations. As soon as one side completed its combat deployment, it would immediately launch a fatal blow against the other.

As the four front commands of the Anti-Judea Coalition gradually deployed UAVs and anti-aircraft missiles to execute various combat missions against Israel, scenes of engagement began to appear in Israel's airspace. There were scenes of both sides' fighter jets exploding not only in the southern region of Israel but also in the northern region.

The Anti-Judea Coalition watched the "Tianlong" Series UAVs being constantly consumed—although it was painful—after all, one UAV cost at least 1 million USD—but having no pilot losses was acceptable.

Some UAVs had already been lost, but with nearly 4,000 UAVs, they could still slowly fight a war of attrition with Israel. Not only could they cause losses of the same scale to Israel's fighter jets, but they could also consume more of Israel's anti-aircraft missiles.

As long as Israel could not meet the needs of its losses, it would eventually face a shortage of weapons and ammunition, and then it would be easier to defeat Israel.

This intermittent non-contact engagement lasted for a full month. The Anti-Judea Coalition lost more than 400 "Tianlong" Series UAVs directly, and thousands of "Tianlei" Series Anti-Aircraft Missiles were also consumed.

The results were quite gratifying; at first, Israel would take off fighter jets to intercept, but later they gradually stopped taking off fighter jets. Sometimes, "Tianlong" Series UAVs would even swaggeringly fly in some parts of Israel's capital without being intercepted in time.

It seemed that Israel's anti-aircraft missile consumption was quite large, and they were not using anti-aircraft missiles as frequently. This was good news for the Anti-Judea Coalition; when they subsequently used various fighter jets to bomb, they could reduce the risk of being shot down.

The Golan Heights Front Command and the Aqaba Front Command troops finally completed their reorganization during this month of training and could be put into combat.

As the two front commands that were the focus of the attack, the reorganization of 70 Mechanized Infantry Brigades and 28 Drone Battalions was completed, and launching an attack on Israel was imminent.

As for which day to launch the attack, the Anti-Israel Coalition Joint Command still needed to wait for the final order from the Persian Gulf Regional Cooperation Organization. After all, this was not just a military matter; it also involved political, economic, and other aspects.

The Anti-Judea Coalition could only be responsible for military work, and everything else needed to be decided by the Persian Gulf Regional Cooperation Organization.

The Persian Gulf Regional Cooperation Organization had also been constantly pressuring Israel this month, asking, "Want peace or war?" Both sides constantly engaged in various forms of dialogue and shouting, passing various conditions through third parties.

At the same time, they used public opinion to guide the whole world to support themselves. For example, all the various tragedies Israel had committed in Palestine in the past, such as attacks on schools, hospitals, religious places, and aid agencies, were all displayed before the world.

Various events such as Israel massacring civilians, massacring children, and forcing children to guide Palestine resistance personnel were also spread through various channels.

Although Judean capital controlled most of the media, it could not stop many media outlets from not yielding to Judean capital, and many remarks unfavorable to Israel spread.
