“Holy crap! How did the Houthis suddenly get so strong?!”
“Hodeidah Port is a strategic port guarded by heavy forces of the Yemeni government.
How could it be captured by the Houthis overnight?!”
“Are you kidding? Last month, I saw news saying that the Houthis had been under continuous air strikes by the Arab coalition for a month.
The Yemeni capital, Sana’a, which they occupied, was almost reduced to rubble.”
“Yeah, I thought the Houthis were finished after seeing that news.
But who would have thought that as soon as the Arab coalition’s bombing ended, the Houthis immediately attacked and seized Hodeidah Port! They’re incredibly powerful!”
“It’s said that the Houthis used a frontal assault last night and deployed special forces.”
“What?! Frontal assault? And special forces?”
“Wasn’t the Houthis previously reported as a ‘sandal army’? They only know guerilla warfare, they don’t even have regular unified troops.
How did they suddenly become so powerful?”
“These Houthis are truly defying the heavens! They've been fighting against a coalition of multiple countries, and yet they’ve gotten stronger!”
“Hahaha, the Houthis are amazing! At this rate, maybe they’ll really unify Yemen.”
“……”
For a moment!
Nations across the Blue Star were in an uproar!
The entire Blue Star was in shock!
On Blue Star, regardless of age, young or old, whether or not they usually paid attention to international affairs.
As long as they liked watching the news.
Without exception, they all knew about this news.
Simultaneously, the Houthis, a previously unheard-of organization, once again became the focus, becoming known to people around the Blue Star.
Especially in the Middle East region, they were stunned speechless by this news.
After all, last month, under the leadership of Saudi Arabia, they had formed the Arab coalition to strike against this ‘illegal’ armed organization.
Besides wanting a share of the pie in Yemen.
They also wanted to show off their Middle Eastern strength to the entire Blue Star.
But now, the Houthis not only successfully survived their month-long aerial attacks.
They also directly captured an important strategic port in Yemen.
This not only goes against the interests of the Middle Eastern countries.
But also makes them lose face on the Blue Star.
After all, their grandiose joint action of so many Middle Eastern countries.
Not only failed to eliminate the Houthis, but actually made them stronger.
This isn’t fighting the Yemeni government army, it’s slapping the face of Middle Eastern nations!
Among these Middle Eastern countries, the most furious was naturally Saudi Arabia.
After all, the joint military operation of their Middle Eastern countries was called by Saudi Arabia.
And in fact, the main force of the joint military operation was also theirs.
Other Middle Eastern countries only symbolically sent some fighter jets and troops.
Previously, Saudi Arabia had specifically reported on that joint military operation.
And claimed to have carried out devastating bombing attacks on the Houthis’ areas.
In order to show their Saudi Arabia’s status as the big brother of the Middle East.
But now the Houthis’ powerful strike has completely left Saudi Arabia speechless.
What’s more, the Houthis and their mortal enemy, the Iranian wolves, share the same faith.
The Houthis’ victory this time has made Saudi Arabia extremely humiliated and angry.
To regain lost face.
Saudi King Salman even made a public speech in the media.
Their military operation codenamed “Decisive Storm” against the Yemeni Houthis will continue.
They will also send more ground troops into Yemen to confront the Houthis head-on.
They must completely destroy the Houthi organization.
And help the Yemeni government forces to regain control of the lost capital, Sana’a, and Hodeidah Port.
This news once again shocked the Blue Star.
After all, everyone knows Saudi Arabia is rich, they’re even called “the big dog.”
At the same time, Saudi Arabia's military strength is also quite formidable.
After all, since the 1980s, the Saudi royal family has been accelerating military modernization due to the pressure of the rising Iraq nearby.
American arms dealers have been pushing weapons to Riyadh for years.
Saudi Arabia, with no shortage of money, usually accepts everything without hesitation.
Just like that, all the way “buying, buying, buying,” in the early 21st century, the Saudi army's paper data had already become one of the best in the Middle East.
Just in terms of fighter jets, they have thousands, including 159 of the latest F15SAs, the absolute main force of the Saudi Air Force.
This air force is the pride of the Middle East, even in East Asia or Europe, it would be a powerful force.
In terms of army equipment, Saudi Arabia’s equipment is also all from the five permanent members of the UN Security Council.
In addition to the M1A2 tanks from the United States as the main force, there are also some AMX30B tanks from France.
In addition, Saudi Arabia also has self-propelled artillery from the Dragon Nation, armed helicopters from the United States, and their equipment level is top-notch in the Middle East.
Among the three forces, perhaps only the navy is relatively weak.
However, because the United States Navy’s Fifth Fleet is guarding the oil routes in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia doesn’t have a strong need for the navy.
A country with such military strength, one of the best in the Middle East.
They also want to collaborate with other Middle Eastern countries to carry out a ground encirclement of the Houthis.
Many experts and citizens on Blue Star feel that the Houthis are doomed this time.
However, while the world was worried about the Houthis’ strength.
The Hu army, who had returned to the main city of Sana'a, was smiling brightly.
Because in just one day, his personal prestige value had skyrocketed to 5 million.
And the balance of his personal prestige value was still constantly changing.
Basically every minute, it increased by a few thousand.
This made Hu Jun extremely excited.
With so much personal prestige value, he could further accelerate the construction of the Houthis.
He then opened up the international forum.
Sure enough, he found that the incident involving the Houthis last night had been on the front page of major international news websites.
Many mainstream portal websites even had viewership figures in the hundreds of millions for this incident, with over a hundred thousand comments.
After reading these news reports, it was pretty much what Hu Jun had expected.
After all, the intelligence agencies of Blue Star countries are very capable.
Especially countries like the United States and Russia.
They could use a night raid to avoid the sight of the Yemeni government forces.
But it was very difficult to avoid detection from the United States and other countries.
Let alone a large-scale battle like capturing Hodeidah City, it was impossible to keep it secret.
Therefore, Hu Jun simply didn't try to hide anything.
Instead, he used the heat of this news to earn a lot of personal prestige value.
But the explosion of this incident on the Blue Star has both advantages and disadvantages for him.
Although he gained a lot of personal prestige value because of it.
But this military action undoubtedly made the Houthis the focus of attention on the Blue Star again.
It also made the Arab coalition, led by Saudi Arabia, lose face.
Their actions would undoubtedly attract the attention of all parties involved.
Especially the speech by the Saudi King, undoubtedly meant to carry out even larger-scale strikes against the Houthis.
For the Houthis, who are just beginning to have some regular army tendencies, this is undoubtedly a major crisis.
