Chapter 447 Making a Feint to the East and Attacking in the West
The defeat of the Arab coalition forces in the first Middle East war was mainly due to themselves. The strength of the subsequent Middle East wars was obviously different. Alan Wilson remembered that after the armistice period, although Israel had a small population, it mobilized The army outnumbered the Arab coalition forces and defeated the smaller Israeli army.
As for the current situation? This depends on how much skill his beloved boss, Sir Barron's Persian Gulf Commissioner, can show as a troublemaker in the British Empire.
As a former subordinate, it is normal for him to say hello to his former boss from time to time. There is nothing wrong with overseas civil servants being united.
"Both the Iraqi royal family and the Jordanian royal family issued mobilization orders, and a large number of residents enlisted in the army. The Iraqi army marched from the Mesopotamia to the east coast of the Mediterranean. The Kingdom of Iraq took the lead in setting an example. All countries have a strong will to fight. The armies of Egypt, Syria, and Jordan They are also gathering, and the total strength of the Arab coalition has exceeded 200,000."
"Wow!" Alan Wilson compared it with the memory in his mind. It seemed that the Arab coalition forces in the first Middle East war in history had only 40,000 to 50,000 people. After the armistice period passed, the Israeli army had exceeded 100,000, and a large number of military reinforcements came from When the Soviet Union and the United States arrived in Israel, the Arab coalition was the weakest party in terms of quality and quantity.
Now it seems that the Arab side is at least somewhat serious in terms of numbers, and the current number alone is already a number that Israel cannot mobilize no matter what.
As the strength of the Arab coalition increases, even if Israel does not waste the armistice time at all, the difficulties it will face will only be greater than in history.
The problem between Israel and the Arabs is actually too simple, and the Arabs can continue to lose until the next century. Israel cannot lose even once. If it loses, Israel will disappear.
During the first Middle East war, the number of people was still a very important factor. If the numbers mobilized by Arab countries were not watered down, and at least they were composed of personnel with combat experience, Israel would still not be able to win. In the end, both sides will suffer losses, even if the Arabs win.
Arabs are the main ethnic group in the Middle East, and their recovery speed will definitely exceed that of Israel. Israel is losing one person every time it dies. Egypt alone has a population of 16 million, and Iraq and Syria have a population of 4 million. The population of Israel is only 800,000.
Judging from the current situation, the Arab countries have only issued a mobilization order and have already assembled 200,000 troops. And Israel has almost tapped out all its potential.
In a reply to his old boss, Alan Wilson said in the telegram, "In fact, speaking clearly is not a provocation. Publicizing the total population of Israel will not increase Britain's moral guilt.
Could it be that the facts are also wrong? Regarding the import of American and Soviet arms into Israel, from the imperial point of view, there was no need to hide it from the Arabs. "
Alan Wilson only digs holes. Whether the Arabs are properly exploring their internal potential and are determined to use the human wave tactics to crush Israel is none of his business.

Another fact promoted is that eleven minutes after the Israeli Declaration of Independence, the United States announced its recognition of the State of Israel. The Soviet Union was the second country to recognize Israel. Although this happened three months ago, it would not do any harm to Britain to repeat it.
The hegemony of public opinion is the only means that Britain has not been affected after the war. At this moment, the second ceasefire period of more than a month is about to end. The Israeli army, which has taken on a new look, feels the mysterious power from the edge corners of the world, because this A mysterious force, this historic armistice as a delaying strategy also increased the strength of the Arab coalition.
Cairo, Damascus and Baghdad have successively announced that the two ceasefire periods have been regarded as respecting the authority of the United Nations and there will not be a third one. The 200,000 mobilized Arab coalition forces are far from complete and will not stop until Israel is driven into the sea.
At the same time that Crown Prince Elizabeth set off from Newfoundland to visit Canada, the entire Palestinian area turned into an endless barracks, and all the troops mobilized by Arab countries had arrived.
Two hundred thousand Arab coalition troops, armed with weapons from the British Army in the Middle East, faced off against one hundred thousand Israeli troops equipped with more than a hundred aircraft and sixteen warships. They would plunge into a fight as soon as the ceasefire period ended.
Summarizing what he has learned so far, Alan Wilson feels it is time to save... Pakistan.
It is Pakistan. It is more in line with Britain's identity to use the UN peacekeeping force's plan for the India-Pakistan war. India and Pakistan have just become independent. In the impression of various countries, it is more reasonable for the UK to call for a solution to the India-Pakistan issue at the United Nations.
But in fact, given the current situation in India and Pakistan, Nehru is likely to refuse the entry of United Nations peacekeeping troops. Alan Wilson had seen some impressive leaders of great powers, more than once, and he knew something about Nehru.
After all, Nehru was an idealistic founding leader. He also believed that India was a great and powerful country and would definitely not allow any UN peacekeeping troops to enter what he regarded as India's inherent territory.
If he agrees, how can he become a great power? The proposal of peacekeeping troops will definitely be rejected by India. After all, India thinks that it has the advantage over us.
But the problem in Palestine is different. Although there are many Arab coalition forces, they belong to different countries after all. But the current situation is indeed scary, and Israel did not take advantage of the first two ceasefires.
Now the number of Arab coalition forces is still rising, and Israel's potential has been drained. It only has a population of 800,000 and cannot increase it no matter how it is mobilized. The only choice before Israel is to win. If it loses, it will definitely die. If it fights, it will die. If it fights, it will lose. almost.
For the Arabs, public opinion now states that the effect of a draw is the same as a win. They should be mentally prepared to crush Israel to death. If they fight to the point of losing both sides, they will take advantage and their morale will be guaranteed.
Many commanders of the Arab coalition forces that have reached out to the Palestinian front line have publicly called for the Israelis to be driven into the sea even if they are replaced one by one.
"Sir Alexander, let's give the United States a step down. If India refuses to station peacekeeping troops, it depends on whether the United States will jump out of the trap on its own. With the current situation, even if Israel wins in the end, there will not be many people left. I believe that as long as you raise this proposal at the United Nations General Assembly, the United States may use it to defend Israel."
"To take a step back, even if the United States sits back and watches Israel's demise, it will not lose much to Britain. Israel is not on our side anyway."
After sending the telegram, Alan Wilson blew a whistle in a relaxed mood, showing his current joy.
Linking the Indo-Pak war and the Palestine-Israel war gave him a sense of accomplishment, and it didn't matter if they both failed. Anyway, sooner or later, everything will be lost. As long as one of these two wars is successfully intervened, it will be considered a gain.
Boris happened to walk in, saw Alan Wilson's appearance, and said in surprise, "Governor, you seem to be very happy that the Crown Prince has left Newfoundland."
"Nonsense, I am loyal to the crown prince, and how can I be happy when my fiancée has just left? Be careful what you say, otherwise I will sue you for defamation." Alan Wilson almost arched his hands in the direction of London to express his support for the British Empire. It's such a dog-eat-dog attitude.
Because of the Third Reich, Jewish power had shifted from Europe to the United States during the war. Currently, the so-called Jewish power base is the same as it was in the 21st century.
The situation in the Middle East is also a headache for the United States. It is a fact that the United States is the first country to recognize Israel.
Seeing that Israel is at a disadvantage, it is also true that ceasefires were brokered through the United Nations twice in succession.
But this does not mean that the United States is willing to severely offend Arab countries, and the Soviet Union is also unwilling to offend. Just for some reason, the United States and the Soviet Union temporarily stood together.
But now that the United Kingdom has used pressure to withdraw the British officer corps that commanded the Arab coalition forces, the United States cannot change the fact that Egypt alone is twenty times the population of Israel. Together with the populations of countries such as Syria, Jordan, and Iraq, the number of people participating in the war The population of Arab countries is fifty times that of Israel.
The United States is also unwilling to offend Arab countries too much, which is not good for the plan to block the Soviet Union. The United States is only temporarily standing with the Soviet Union, which does not mean that it will let the Soviet Union go.
However, the Jewish power in the United States has become a phenomenon, and the Jews have experienced genocide in Germany. Support is politically correct. The United States must prove that the United States has a more moral sense than the previous colonial countries. The two factors combined, the United States still supports Israel. The current Washington is also in a difficult situation.
At a time when the United States was in crisis, the British Ambassador to the United Nations, Sir Alexander Cadogan, had read the telegram that Alan Wilson had killed and buried.
At the United Nations meeting three days later on the war between India and Pakistan, Sir Alexander Cadogan said, "The war between India and Pakistan has caused a large number of casualties. We in the UK propose to set up a peacekeeping force to station in Kashmir to stop India and Pakistan. Pakistan is at war to protect the lives and property of local people, implement a ceasefire, and let the residents of Kashmir make their own choice whether to become part of Pakistan, part of India, or become independent.”
After Sir Alexander Cadogan finished speaking, the venue immediately became buzzing. The Indian representative stood up and objected, "On the Kashmir issue, other countries are not stakeholders and there is no need to get involved. I have nothing to say at the moment, but I believe Prime Minister Nehru will give an accurate answer."
