252: Chapter 352 Suppress all speech that does not support the Kingdom of Judah

After Colonel Beka and Li Yi reached the arms trading contract, Li Yi said, "The usage range for this batch of Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile and Tianlong Series UAV that you purchased is still restricted to the entire territory of Libya; they cannot be used outside of Libya."

Colonel Beka had no objections to this. In any case, the Libyan National Army was only fighting within Libya, so being able to use them within Libyan territory was sufficient. He said, "What if there is interference from external forces, invading from the direction of the Mediterranean Sea?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yi felt it was very likely that external forces, such as France or the United Kingdom, might want to interfere, so he said, "We can expand the usage range to the Mediterranean Sea."

As long as invading fighter jets from countries like France are intercepted from the Mediterranean Sea, the European countries' desire to interfere can basically be extinguished. Unless they are willing to commit ground troops to invade Libya, but that is not a decision these countries can make easily.

After Li Yi and Colonel Beka finished their negotiations and enjoyed a large meal at the Tunis Marriott Hotel, Li Yi did not intend to stay in Tunis. After leaving in a hurry and finding a secluded spot, he used the Multiverse Arms Trading System to teleport back to Pengcheng.

Li Yi still held some confidence in whether the Libyan National Army could recover the entire territory of Libya. After all, the combat effectiveness of the Opposition Armed Forces within Libya was not strong, and even though some Opposition Armed Forces had received support from foreign powers, their combat level was not very high.

As long as Colonel Beka controlled the entire territory of Libya, secured the oil and gas field areas that produced oil and natural gas, and quickly restored production, recovering this resource of 800 million barrels of oil and 100 billion cubic meters of natural gas would be no problem.

As for whether Colonel Beka would fail to pay for these resources, Li Yi believed they wouldn't dare. If the weapons and equipment purchased by the Libyan National Army were locked and rendered unusable, they would become lambs waiting for slaughter and would soon be overthrown.

After all, the Libyan National Army also needed to suppress those Opposition Armed Forces for a long time to ensure that the domestic situation in Libya would not become unstable.

Seeing that this trip to Tunis had so smoothly secured a large batch of weapons and equipment, Colonel Beka felt it was no less than rain after a long drought for the Libyan National Army, which would allow the Libyan National Army to develop rapidly.

The manpower of the Libyan National Army was still too small; even after expanding the army following the last purchase of weapons and equipment, they only had over 10,000 troops.

Now that so many weapons and equipment had been purchased, it was naturally necessary to properly strengthen the strength of the Libyan National Army, expanding from the current 10,000-plus troops to over 70,000, and if there were external interference, it would need to be expanded to at least 100,000.

As for the source of manpower, it would mainly be recruited from the territory controlled by the Libyan National Army. After recovering other territories, they would expand the army, reorganize, and attack simultaneously, gradually allowing the Libyan National Army to reach full strength.

Colonel Beka decided not to use the 35 million barrels of oil and 100 million cubic meters of natural gas prepared for this time, but instead decided to negotiate with Egypt to exchange these oil and natural gas resources for light weapons and equipment.

Although Egypt also had oil and natural gas, their output was not very high, so they could consume this portion of oil and natural gas and resell it to other countries.

As long as the Libyan National Army obtained more light weapons and ammunition, they could basically be equipped into a powerful army. By then, the probability of victory in battles against those Opposition Armed Forces would be extremely high.

Colonel Beka could not wait to return to Libya to carry out various preparations, expand the influence of the Libyan National Army, and get more Libyans to join the Libyan National Army.

The USA found it somewhat incomprehensible that the Israeli military was being gradually compressed into five major cities. They had not expected the Israeli military to collapse to this extent so quickly.

In previous wars, the USA had also strongly aided Israel. After receiving military aid, Israel had fought back and forth with the countries in the Persian Gulf region and often held the upper hand, but they had not expected that in this war, they would fall into a siege so quickly.

How could the Israeli military still have the ability to launch a counterattack when relying solely on defending five major cities? If the Anti-Judea Coalition were to capture one or two more cities, then Israel would not be far from national collapse.

Not only was the Israeli military anxious, but the Pro-Israel Capitalist Lobby was also anxious. Having finally established Israel, they surely wouldn't let the nation be destroyed again in less than a hundred years, forcing the Jewish people to start their wandering mode once more.

The Pro-Israel Capitalist Lobby began to lobby the US government and military in an overwhelming manner, even directly threatening that the companies they controlled would carry out large-scale layoffs, causing massive unemployment among the US public and causing domestic turmoil in the USA.

At the same time, the Pro-Israel Capitalist Lobby suppressed all speech that did not support Israel, using the media they controlled to loudly proclaim that the entire US public must support Israel, otherwise the consequences would be unbearable for the USA.

For some citizens who sympathized with the countries in the Persian Gulf region and Palestine, they not only publicly released their names, addresses, occupations, and other information, but also threatened their families and humiliated their families, all just to force these people to change their stance.

Soon, the US government and military felt the pressure, not only from the personnel of various internal agencies but also from the pressure of some of the public, as if the USA would perish if it did not support Israel.

Given this situation, the United States Department of Defense had to consider increasing the intensity of support for Israel; even if there were losses, they could not care about that. The government also promised to increase aid to Israel and would not sit idly by.

The United States Department of Defense urgently transferred 50,000 troops from the Central Theater Command and the command stationed in Europe; whether the transferred officers and soldiers agreed or not, they had to go to the Israeli battlefield and be committed to the battle against the Anti-Judea Coalition.

The USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier and the USS David aircraft carrier strike group would provide cover for this batch of deployed troops, while fighter jets taking off from military bases in countries like Turkey and Italy would provide escort throughout the entire journey to ensure they were not attacked by the Anti-Judea Coalition.

The US military bases in various countries in the Persian Gulf region would also take some actions to attract the attention of the countries in the Persian Gulf region, ideally making the Anti-Judea Coalition hesitate, fearing that they would not dare to launch fierce attacks on the last few cities of Israel and capture these cities.

Through multi-party coordination, after deploying 50,000 troops to the Israeli battlefield, they would cooperate with the Israeli military to break the siege of the Anti-Judea Coalition and form a new standoff situation.

Utilizing the battlefield standoff situation, they would strive to negotiate and solve the problem, forcing the countries in the Persian Gulf region to back down and not seek to occupy the territory of Israel.
