EP.141 Middle East War (1)
Other parts of the Middle East also had their sparks, but nothing like the Levant, where Jews had migrated in large numbers.
Repeated Arab uprisings occurred in the Levant after 1933, when Jews began to immigrate in large numbers to escape Nazi persecution.
“The Jews are coming because the British tolerate them!”
“Drive out the Jews!”
As a result of repeated Arab uprisings from 1936 to 1939, Britain convened the Peel Commission to try to divide the country into Jewish and Arab areas.
But this compromise was rejected by the Arab side.
“Why do you want to share our land with the Jews? Are you willing to share the island of Britain with the immigrants?”
Despite these circumstances, Jews continued to enter Palestine.
Despite the British government’s official ban on immigration, people continued to flock to Palestine through illegal means, including through smuggling.
“Stop coming in! This is not a place for all of you to live!”
Britain even sent illegal immigrants to places like Mauritius in an attempt to prevent Jewish immigration, but this failed to stop the growth of the Jewish population.
In the meantime, World War II broke out.
For the Jews of Europe this event was a misfortune, but for the Jews of Palestine it was an opportunity.
The Jews of Palestine were given the opportunity to form an army under British permission.
With some 30,000 Jews enlisting in the British Army, the Jews gained the basis for creating a powerful armed organization.
David Ben-Gurion used the foundation gained in this way to strengthen the paramilitary organizations Haganah and Irgun.
Although the British blockade of the Levant continued after the war, Jewish emigration did not stop.
“If you keep blocking our immigration, things won’t turn out well.”
Jews began to terrorize British forces who were trying to impede immigration.
Britain has also been struggling with this issue in its own way.
In fact, the Attlee government, which had no interest in the colony, wanted to abandon this troublesome colony as soon as possible.
However, given that they had given up a significant portion of their colonial empire under pressure from the United States, it was burdensome to give up the Levant right away.
There was also the option of delegating the decision to the United Nations, but Moseley and Churchill would not tolerate that either.
“Giving up territory? That is absolutely unacceptable.”
For this reason, Attlee had no choice but to delay the decision and pass the ball to Churchill and Moseley.
Churchill and Maudsley, having taken over power, naturally sought to maintain control over the Levant.
“If we want to protect the Suez Canal, we must control the Levant.”
Britain thus used force to crush the Arab and Jewish forces that were agitating to seize the Levant.
For a moment, it seemed like it could be possible.
However, Britain, whose power had begun to decline due to the Indian Wars and other factors, no longer had the capacity to hold onto the Levant.
Since France, which was also fighting the colonial war, had announced its intention to abandon Syria, Britain also made a cool-headed decision.
“It wasn’t a key colony anyway.”
It was a contradiction to their declaration that they would not give up even an inch of existing territory, but even the fascists were not so foolish as to be blind to reality.
The United Nations took the place of Britain and France, which had withered away like an ebb tide.
But there was nothing the UN could do after Britain and France left the mess.
French territory was hastily organized into Syria and Lebanon, but the problem was the Levant, which was under British control.
“I propose an independent Arab state, an independent Jewish state, and a neutral Jerusalem.”
The UN first recommended dividing the Levant into three fairly(?) pieces.
One of the interested parties, the Arabs, immediately rejected it.
“I told you this is our land! Stop talking nonsense about splitting up our land!”
The Arabs expressed their anger.
On the other hand, the Jews expressed joy at the fact that their independence had been recognized.
It was the Arabs who took action first.
Abd al-Qadir al-Hussaini, who commanded the holy war during the Arab revolt, entered the Levant and attempted to blockade the Jews of Jerusalem.
“Are those guys crazy?”
The Jews also took action.
David Ben-Gurion, the leader of Palestinian Jews, began receiving financial support from foreign Jews through Golda Meir.
And with that money, they bought weapons from the Soviet Union.
“Whether it’s a communist weapon or not, if it fits in our hands, it’s a good weapon.”
With these preparations complete, the Jews began to counterattack.
“If we are to establish Israel, we must wipe out all the Arabs who stand between us and our lands.”
Israel began to implement the Dalit Plan and began to ruthlessly push out Palestinians.
This attack was essentially a declaration of war against the Arab world.
Israel declared its independence immediately after its victory.
“I can’t stand it anymore. Let’s throw those Jews into the Mediterranean!”
Transjordan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Egypt declared Arab self-determination across the Levant and mobilized their militaries.
The Middle East war that would set the Middle East on fire began like this.
*
“The Middle East War.”
Even in a situation where everything was shrouded in fog, this one thing was predictable.
This war was an inevitable event, considering the Jews’ long-standing desire for Canaan.
If you don’t know that, you need to study the textbook again.
I didn’t take the situation too seriously.
‘Israel will win the war anyway.’
The reason was simple.
Because behind Israel were two superpowers: the United States and the Soviet Union.
The funny thing was that both the United States and the Soviet Union thought of Israel as being on their side.
‘Well, Israel is a similar species to us.’
Israel was using a kind of modified socialist model called Jewish socialism, while relying on the United States for security.
It was the exact opposite position to ours, which relied on the Soviet Union for security while running a black-flavored democracy and capitalism.
“Your Majesty, what will you do about the question of recognition of Israel as a state?”
In the short term, the bet was on Israel to gain ground with a win.
But being out of favor with the Arabs was tiring in its own way.
From a long-term perspective, I decided to remain silent.
It was easier to live in the world in gray and bat form than in black and white.
“Pretend you don’t know.”
Is the Levant the only place in the world on fire?
The whole world was a sea of fire.
There was no need to make a fuss about a fire in one place.
But I didn’t want to do anything, so I sent a telegram to Ben-Gurion.
“From our friends in the East. His Excellency Ben-Gurion, I sincerely congratulate you on the establishment of the State of Israel.”
I like you guys, but I can’t help you get national recognition.
That was exactly the position I wanted to show to the Jews.
Anyway, this strategy worked.
The Jewish community has provided more support to our nuclear development than we might have expected.
The tacit advice of several Jewish scientists who participated in the Manhattan Project, the capital needed for development, and even some of the technologies needed for nuclear development were quietly passed on to us.
Of course, there was a price.
We signed an agreement to transfer nuclear warheads and manufacturing technology to Israel within six months of the date of developing nuclear weapons.
It wasn’t exactly a losing deal.
Israel was a friend who would arm themselves with nuclear weapons if left alone.
It was a cheap deal if we could shorten our nuclear development by borrowing some of their money, technology, and brains.
Satisfied with this covert cooperation, further proposals came from the Israeli side.
“If possible, I would like to use Korean-made weapons that are trustworthy for security reasons. Is it possible to purchase them?”
It was an offer to buy it at full price, not as a donation.
There was no reason not to sell.
Of course, in order not to draw aggro from the Arabs, they went through the process of laundering their name.
“Japan is too conspicuous, so go with China.”
First, we sent weapons to Chen Gongbo in Nanjing, and then we exported the weapons Chen Gongbo had to Israel.
If something went wrong, Chen Gongbo would take care of it instead.
This was exactly what was good about the puppet state.
The quantity exported in this way was quite sweet.
‘If this continues, I’ll end up rotting.’
But the joy didn’t last long.
“Hey, Israel is being pushed back?”
Didn’t Israel win smoothly in the original?
Too many things have changed to be worth talking about, but there is still a flow.
I couldn’t hide my embarrassment.
If Israel falls like this, it will also have problems with its nuclear armament.
What on earth is the problem?
It wasn’t long before I realized the source of the problem.
It’s Egypt.
These damn Egyptians were fighting so well that they were destroying the board.
Originally, the Egyptian officer corps were the kind of guys who deliberately lost a war they could have won in order to sabotage the royal family.
Why those guys?
There had to be something, something I didn’t know about.
Anyway, I felt my heart getting impatient.
If it were normal, I would have eaten rice cakes while watching the performance, but I wasn’t in a position to do that.
My nucleus!
I hastily flew my professional skills to the United States.
“Mr. President, if by any chance Israel loses this war, the Holocaust will be repeated in the Middle East. We have a duty to prevent such a catastrophe.”
It was the time of His Excellency Lee Seong-jun, the righteous humanitarian, not the military dictator Lee Seong-jun.
I wore the mask of human rights and persuaded America.
“Ha, I don’t know if that’s right, but let’s try to convince our Middle Eastern friends.”
America did not refuse my request.
It was rewarding to diligently scratch America’s itch in recent major events.
Soon, mediation took place between the Arab coalition and Israel.
The armistice lasted 60 days.
‘I gave them two months, so the Jews will do something for me.’
Of course, I didn’t just trust the time he had given me.
The amount of weapons sent through China has also increased.
So, do it
Please win.
Unlike the first time, I watched the situation in the Middle East with a sense of urgency.
