On the side of the Suez Canal, the three countries of Britain, France and Israel acted according to the secret protocol:
On October 10, Israel first attacked the Sinai Peninsula in three ways, and Sharon took the 29 brigade to airborne + deep penetration into the south.It took only 202 hours for the Israeli army to rush to the side of the Suez Canal. Standing on the slope, Sharon could see the blue water of the Suez Canal.
On October 10, Britain and France proposed a solution in the Security Council: a truce between Egypt and Israel was proposed, with the Suez Canal as the boundary, Egypt withdrew 30 kilometers to the west, Israel withdrew 16 kilometers to the east, and the separation zone in the middle was guarded by British and French troops.
This is not a conspiracy, it is an obvious bullying of Egypt: If you do not agree with this proposal, then Egypt will be beaten by the five permanent members of the Security Council; if you agree with this resolution... then Britain and France will just reoccupy the Suez Canal.
However, the five big hooligans in the Security Council are full of fire: the solution proposed by Britain and France, Britain and France are in favor of it, the Soviet Union is against it, China is against it, and the United States... is also against it. 2:3, not even abstained, full of gunpowder.
As permanent members of the council, as long as there is one vote against China, the Soviet Union, and the United States, the bill will not pass. Now there are three votes against it...
The United States proposed that Egypt and Israel stop the war and sit down for negotiations.China and the Soviet Union abstained, Britain and France vetoed.
United States: "The performance of the representatives of the United Kingdom and France is disappointing today. You lack a sense of responsibility for world peace today. If the Security Council fails to pass a resolution that promotes the Suez Canal and the Sinai Peninsula, I suggest that an emergency meeting of the United Nations General Assembly be held to discuss the establishment of a temporary United Nations army. Egypt's problem."
UN Army?
The Chinese representative Jiang Tingfu looked at the American representative quietly with a smile that was not a smile. Although he did not speak, the content of the eye contact was as follows: "This gentleman, did you come to the United Nations to work after April 1953?"
Although the US representative's suggestion is a bit funny, the meaning expressed is roughly in line with China's position, so China does not speak.Britain spoke first:
"That also requires the Security Council to vote on whether this issue falls under the jurisdiction of the Security Council. If the vote is determined to be 'no', this issue can be submitted from the Security Council to the UN General Assembly for consideration!"
Well, now the five big gangsters are all 6 when playing double veto.
The seven-hour discussion in the Security Council ended without any results.Britain and France continued to do their own business, of course the invasion of Egypt.There is no need to worry about the international community and the United Nations. Britain and France are permanent members of the Security Council, and the Security Council will never pass a motion to strike Britain and France militarily.
On October 10, more than 31 planes from Britain and France took off from the airports in Cyprus, Malta, and Israel, bombing the airports of the Egyptian Air Force indiscriminately.
埃及空军此时规模不小：有150架苏援的米格-15、15比斯战斗机、50多架伊尔-28轰炸机，但埃及空军就是一个问题：菜。
The air defense radar network is not perfect, the communication is backward, the security of the military airport is poor, and the pilots are in poor combat readiness. The British and French bombed 2/3 of the Egyptian Air Force's aircraft in one day, basically abolishing Egypt's air combat capability.

American White House.
"Do the British really think they are the uncles of all English-speaking countries, and we are just his nephews?" Eisenhower said with a long face.
Secretary of State Dulles: "They have overreached and have come into conflict with our national policy."
The national policy of the United States can be summed up in our words, that is, "neo-colonialism" replaces colonialism.
The United States is not interested in directly drawing territory into its own territory. He prefers to see the independence of British and French colonies, and even its own colonies allow it to be independent and can join the United Nations.Then the United States uses these small countries as a dumping market for commodities and a source of cheap raw materials, earning more than direct colonization (because there is no need to suppress riots).
But if Britain and France guard their colonies with gunboats and are not independent, the United States will not be able to enter the markets of these countries smoothly.
The second national policy of the United States is to confront the Soviet Union.If the United States does not support the independence of these colonies, the Soviet Union will naturally support the independence of these colonies with money and guns. After these countries become independent, they will fall to the Soviet Union because they receive aid from the Soviet Union.This is a doubly serious thing: it neither got the market of these countries, but was squeezed by the Soviet Union.
Forget about Egypt, the Soviet Union has already started, but for other independent colonies, the United States does not want to see such things continue to happen.
"The British and French military actions did not notify the United States and other NATO allies in advance, and the United Kingdom did not fulfill its alliance responsibilities," Eisenhower said. "Therefore, the United States does not recognize that this British action is an action within the alliance system."
Dulles: "It is true that this is not an action within the framework of the Anglo-American alliance. But we cannot take coercive military measures against Britain now."
Eisenhower: "We remind Britain that military means are not necessary."

Number [-] Downing Street.
"Splash!" The glass fell from Aiden's hand on the desk, and the water spilled all over the table.Aiden's hands were still shaking, and the medicine bottle he was holding in his left hand was about to fall off.
"Mr. Prime Minister? Mr. Prime Minister?" Lloyd asked with concern.
Aiden waved his hand and said it was okay, "Tell me, how much did you lose?"
"£224bn off the London Stock Exchange. It's only been 18 hours since the end of the Security Council meeting, Prime Minister."
"Equal to the net income of the Suez Canal for 56 years," Eden said. "Why do we take military action against the Suez Canal? Even if we win Egypt this time, can we guarantee to occupy the Suez Canal for 56 years? People who advocate war Are you out of your mind?"
LLOYD: "It's the military action plan you passed, Prime Minister."
Aiden was heartbroken for a while, and reached out to touch the medicine bottle again.
Lloyd: "The problem now is that the United States may continue to sell British government bonds in the international market. When the London Exchange evaporates more than 300 billion pounds, we will have a general financial balance in 1957. And big trouble, I mean, very, very big ones, like the financial crisis."
Eden: "We have to get out of this war. Oh, did the RAF already bomb Egypt?"
Lloyd: "Yes, the first wave of bombing was over three hours ago, and the effect is said to be good."
Eden: "Britain should cancel follow-up military operations, tomorrow's, the day after tomorrow, all cancelled."
劳埃德：“是应该取消后续的行动。不过法国国防部长刚刚与我们沟通了11月1日和11月2日的轰炸目标调整，他们要求11月2日就提前开始轰炸塞得港。”
"We don't need to communicate with the French defense minister."
"The Secretary of Defense is in a meeting with the French," Lloyd said. "The Sevres Protocol. We can't stop, Prime Minister."
Britain and France have always accused Nasser of being Hitler and Egypt of being a Nazi.But if the Seiffel Protocol is announced, everyone will find that Britain, France, and Israel are the Nazis, and they are also the axis of evil.The Three Kingdoms are openly discussing how to invade a country and divide the country's territory!
……
On the Egyptian side, they were stunned by Israel on October 10, and lost most of the Sinai Peninsula in a daze. On October 29, they were stunned by the joint air strikes of Britain and France, but Nasser certainly refused to accept his softness.
On October 10, Egypt ordered a nationwide mobilization.As a linkage, Syria also carried out national mobilization, claiming to fight Israel together with Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon declared a state of emergency, and the king of Saudi Arabia announced that all of the country's armed forces would be under the command of Nasser.
On both sides of the Suez Canal, the resistance of the Egyptian army has also become stronger.
The current equipment of the Israel Defense Forces is not strong. Since the United States has not started military aid and the Jews are naturally stingy and can save money, the quality of Israeli tanks is not as good as that of Egypt. The main force interspersed in the Sinai Peninsula is the AMX-13 light tank. One of the armored brigades was even equipped with a dozen German Panzer IV tanks.
By November 11, the Israeli army had seen the waters of the Suez River in some of the more favorable directions of the advance, but it was still far from driving all the Egyptian troops to the west bank of the canal.
On November 11, Britain and France carried out a second round of bombing on the Egyptian Air Force Airport, and the Egyptian Air Force suffered some losses, but the effect was not as obvious as on October 1.Moreover, several planes were shot down in Britain and France.
On November 11, the United States started a new round of shorting British treasury bonds and sterling. Lloyd was so scared that he immediately got on a plane and flew to Washington to explain.
……
November 11.British Consulate General in Istanbul.
"Oh my God!" Johnson, the commercial secretary of the consulate general, exclaimed from the side of the Bosphorus.
Inside the strait, the 152-ton Sverdlov-class cruiser "Dzerzhinsky" was slowly passing through the strait under the care of two tugboats.The triple-mounted [-]mm main gun covers the barrel cover, and the steel turret shines in the sun.
Behind the "Dzerzhinsky" are the Soviet Navy's Type 56 destroyers "Experience" and "Mighty".These two destroyers were commissioned in January and March 1956 respectively, and are in brand new condition.
In the original timeline, the high-level Soviet Union used 11 troops to settle Hungary, and there were two street battles in Budapest. Before November 5, they had no energy to manage the Suez Canal.Now, on October 10, the Soviet Union determined that it should not have to enter Budapest. Therefore, when Israel raided Egypt on October 27, the Soviet Union focused on this war.
