The French army invaded Libya and was completely wiped out. It had little impact on the war. At most, it could only result in a small defeat for the French army. This loss was nothing at all. Of course, it also caused the French army to temporarily lose its offensive capabilities in North Africa.

On the island of Cyprus, Hoffman had just stepped off the plane. He had just flown back from China.
"Congratulations, Your Excellency, General."
As his chief of staff, Modelk stepped forward to salute him. Seeing the young man become a general, he felt a lot of emotions and was a little complicated.
"Chief of Staff, I'm just one step ahead."
Hoffman pointed to his rank of general and said, "I believe you will be able to wear this rank soon."
What Hoffman said is already an obvious hint, and Modelk will not understand it. "I don't care about this now, I am more concerned about the next landing work. We don't even have the location yet."
It’s not okay if you haven’t chosen well.”
Hoffman smiled when he heard Modelk's unintentional words and answered his question. "I already have a choice."
"Already have one?"
"Yes, I decided to choose Beirut."
Hoffman then explained the reason for his choice. "The main reason is that except for Beirut, which can support our large-scale gathering of supplies, other places are simply not enough. Don't forget that we have 300,000 to 400,000 people.
The demand is overwhelming.”
Faced with Hoffman's words, Modelk nodded and acknowledged his words.
"Well, let's go back to the headquarters to discuss the details of the landing operation."
"That's fine."
At Modelk's suggestion, Hoffman got in the car and rushed to the headquarters.
The headquarters of the Middle East Army Group is currently located in Nicosia, the capital of the island of Cyprus. After Hoffmann and Modelk rushed back to the headquarters, they immediately summoned the combat staff.
"Everyone, listen up. Plan No. 1 will be taken out immediately and we are going to re-deduct and test it. We must do our own work. Okay, everyone, let's get ready."
The combat staff present were shocked after hearing the words of Chief of Staff General Modelk. It seemed that the outstanding issues had been resolved, and then all that was needed was to make Plan No. 1.
One more thing, Plan 1 is a combat plan focused on capturing Beirut, while Plans 2 and 3 deal with Haifa and Latakia respectively.
And as the plan to seize Beirut is being prepared, everyone can smell the smoke of gunfire in the Middle East.
In Jordan, Abdullah, the Emir, is also meeting an old friend.
"Hello, Mr. Rawls, we meet again."
In Ragdan Palace, Abdullah met Mr. Rawls from Romania again.
"Hello, His Highness the Emir."
This time Rawls came in wearing servant's clothes, and the person who brought him was Ibrahim, the former Prime Minister of Jordan. Don't underestimate the British intelligence network in the Middle East. Although Rawls was not exposed, he smelled something.
The British and French intelligence agencies immediately focused their attention on the local chiefs in the Middle East.
As for the Hashemite family, who are descendants of the saints, they are the focus of attention. The British authorities not only deployed manpower in the name of protecting their safety, but also secretly deployed many men. In fact, it was almost like house arrest.
Therefore, there are very few opportunities to meet, and this time it was only possible to discuss tax issues.
Since time is precious, Rawls naturally kept his words short and said, "Your Highness the Emir, I am here mainly to discuss the timing of your actions."
Rawls said this, which immediately attracted the attention of Abdullah and Ibrahim. Because now is the time to see the truth, and they must show their respective abilities.
"I don’t know if His Highness the Emir can turn Jordan into a quagmire in ten days. Of course, it would be better if the Palestinian areas can be added to the mix."
Rawls' words made Abdullah and Ibrahim laugh. After Abdullah made a gesture, Ibrahim spoke. "Mr. Rawls, it seems that your Excellency has
The Hashemite family does not have a correct understanding. Although the Hashemite family is not in the holy city of Mecca due to other reasons, the blood of the Prophet still flows. Not to mention that the British troops in Jordan and Palestine cannot pass through by road.
Both Syria and Iraq can influence their situation."
It was obvious that the two of them were dissatisfied with the fact that the Romanians, represented by Rawls, were not clear about their own strength.
Is it true that the Romanian intelligence service does not know its strength?
of course not.
This is just that Romania does not want the Hashemite family to grow bigger in this cooperation. It is best to divide the country more in the Middle East. If the country becomes too big, it will seriously affect Romania's interests. So this time the Romanian intelligence agency only plans to give it the minimum
For a task, if the credit is less, the reward will be easier to talk about.
It's just that Romania underestimated the ambitions of the Hashemite family and its local families, and it seems they want more.
And Ibrahim's words made Rawls chuckle inwardly. These Middle Eastern people really thought that Romania was a charity. Only after they got on the Romanian ship did they know what it meant to speak on the basis of strength. But now they still don't.
If you need them, stabilize them first.
It is true that although the government has decided to stay away from ethnic issues in the Middle East for the time being, Romania's intelligence agency, as the first to take action, cannot passively wait for Bucharest's orders. They have taken precautions and prioritized some secret moves to prepare for emergencies.
"Your idea is very good, and we are very supportive of letting you play a greater role in this operation. But one thing must be guaranteed, that is, delaying the British army's support for the French army in Syria must be guaranteed."
Of course, Rawls will not stop the local people from opposing the British and French actions. Not only will they not oppose it, but they will also increase their support.
"To this end, we have transported more than 1,500 guns and 50 tons of explosives. They are currently secretly stored in Jordan and Palestine. I don't know when you will come to pick them up."
These supplies were secretly transported in by the intelligence department with the help of navy submarines, and a lot of effort was spent on them.
Rawls' words naturally made the two of them very happy. Since they were planning to rebel against the British and French colonists, the more weapons the better.
"Of course the sooner the better."
Seeing the impatient two people, Rawls replied very naturally. "No problem, but how many of you know how to use explosives?"
Rawls made Abdullah and Ibrahim a little embarrassed. They could recruit a lot of people who knew how to use weapons, but they were just proficient in using explosives, which made it a bit difficult. After all, explosives are basically
Only the army and mines use explosives. Don't worry about the army. There are very few Arabs who use explosives in mines, and even fewer people are affected by it.
After seeing that the two people did not answer, Rawls certainly did not intend to let them continue to be embarrassed here, so he said, "We can teach the people you choose to use explosives."
In order to drag the British reinforcements in Palestine and Jordan, this method can only be used. There are many people in the intelligence department who are playing with explosives. There is no problem in teaching these Arabs simple operations. Of course, for important bridges, tunnels and roads, the destruction work
The Romanian intelligence service must be involved. This is not because we are worried about these people, but because we are afraid that they will not be able to control the situation well.
The purpose of this destruction is not to completely destroy the infrastructure, but to destroy it just enough to make it impassable and repair it within ten days and a half. The mastery of this depends on those who have learned temporarily.
Of course not.
The conversation between the three did not last long, and it basically ended after the time and manpower were basically determined. Rawls left Lagdan Palace under the cover of the two.
Next, the reliable personnel summoned by Ibrahim also accepted experts sent by the Romanian intelligence agency in various places to teach them blasting techniques. Of course, due to time constraints, they could only teach simple things.
