The first Middle East war was defined by the British media in the Arab world as? Lost victory! I don’t know if this definition will cause dissatisfaction to Mr. Mabulqun. Anyway, Arab countries are very dissatisfied with it.
In terms of land, Israel occupies more territory than before the war. It did not occupy almost all of Palestine as it did in history, but it still took half of Jerusalem into its pocket.
In fact, considering the almost leaky deployment of the Arab coalition forces, this result is not incomprehensible.
When the Arab countries mobilized a mighty mob, Israel couldn't hold it anymore and called the United States for support and drew a ceasefire line. Of course, the Arab countries were dissatisfied. This dissatisfaction was against Israel, not the United States.
The situation in the Middle East is still quite complicated. In this war, Israel recognized three points. First, it should avoid a protracted war and lay a solid foundation for war. Second, the Arab world is its own enemy and should persist in cooperating with major powers and seeking their support. ; Thirdly, surprise attacks and maneuvers should be emphasized in operations.
As for the United Kingdom, which is still powerful in the Arab world, it naturally wants to promote counterattacks and respond to three points in response to Israel's understanding, that is, talking about protracted war, adopting an arms race model for confrontation, and third, promoting the United States as the support behind Israel. By.
Although Israel completed a one-for-three exchange ratio in the first Middle East War, the Arabs had a huge population advantage. If Germany had not purged the Jews, Israel could still fight for a long time.
It’s not like facing Qatar with 25,000 people, Bahrain with 70,000 people, Kuwait with 150,000 people, or the United Arab Emirates with 90,000 people.
Alan Wilson actually hates airplanes as a means of transportation, but because of his work, he can't float on the sea all the time. Although this broken ball is a speck of dust in the universe, it is still huge for a parasite like him. .
This time the Arab countries held the Cairo Conference, which has not yet officially become independent, and Libya, which is in a state of trusteeship, did not participate.
Pamela Mountbatten, who had started raising funds again in London, had just followed the same example and obtained funds for exploration in North Africa.
It's not that Alan Wilson can't help with the Libyan matter, but Pamela Mountbatten has a better person to turn to, Mountbatten, commander of the cruiser fleet of the Mediterranean Fleet.
General Mountbatten was familiar with the commanders of the British and French troops stationed in Libya, and they played a greater role than Alan Wilson. He could only help his fiancée come up with ideas and act as a cheerleader.
Accompanying Pamela Mountbatten around the Hoxon Manor where ground was broken,
The two agreed to hold a wedding after the Jade House is completed. "In Cairo, my father said that apart from the heat, the conditions seemed to be very poor. Of course, being hot at this time of the year is not a bad thing, but it is true that the conditions are difficult. You should pay attention to it." .”
"I will pay attention to these!" Alan Wilson, who felt concerned, couldn't help but have a verbal argument, and then relaxed and said, "I will touch the bottom of the Arabs. After you finish in Libya, you can Think about how to squeeze into the Persian Gulf. If you can find Libyan oil, you will be qualified."
"Thank you for your hard work, my man!" Pamela Mountbatten grabbed Alan Wilson's hand and shook it. "I asked my father about the local situation. You can just go and get the information when you get to Egypt."
"Thank you very much, it will save me a lot of detours." Alan Wilson expressed his gratitude.
In particular, this can clearly distinguish the true and false of both sides. It is difficult to say what impact this Middle East war will have on the Arabs. Because the Arab countries participating in the war seemed to be no different from before the war.
The only difference is that they think they have not lost. If it were not for the pressure from the United States, victory would definitely belong to the Arabs.
The impact on Israel was great. The Israeli army command structure was almost completely preserved after the war. The characteristic of this command structure is that the General Staff has unified control over all arms of the land, sea and air force.
In Israel, the navy and air force have not yet developed into complete services. When their officers work in the general staff, they act in their personal capacity so as to represent their own forces more. Since there is no position of commander-in-chief, the chief of general staff becomes the sole administrative head commanding the entire army, navy and air force.
The Chief of General Staff is the head of the General Staff. The permanent members of the General Staff are the commanders of the air force, navy, and armored forces and the commanders of the northern, central, and southern military districts. The General Staff communicates with the political heads of the Cabinet through the Chief of General Staff.
The Chief of General Staff is responsible to the Minister of Defense for all military affairs. The air force and navy are called "forces" rather than services, and their official names are "sea forces", and "air forces." The commanders of the sea and air forces report to the chief of the general staff, and they have their own administrative departments responsible for handling military affairs.
The reserve mobilization system established during the war has also been preserved. The unique point of the system is that its reserve forces are the most important part of the National Defense Forces, rather than an appendage of the standing army. The main task of the standing army in peacetime is to provide a well-trained backbone to the reserve forces of the National Defense Forces.
It is clear that reservists are the mainstay of the IDF and that Israel’s defense ultimately relies on reserve organizations. Reservists tend to have low morale, but this problem does not exist in the IDF.
As for hearing about the emergence of regional cooperatives in Israel, they are actually another name for collective farms in the Soviet Union. Today, a large part of the ethnic composition in Israel is Jewish from the Soviet Union. It's not worth paying attention to. Some of the Soviet Union's policies were indeed very adapted to war.
In order to show that he worked for the empire all the time, Alan Wilson also wrote a speculation about the domestic situation in the Soviet Union from the Israeli regional cooperatives, and finally came to the conclusion that the Soviet Union had nothing to fear.
After this report ended, Alan Wilson set off for North Africa to serve the empire. By the way, he picked up Hedy Lamarr in Paris and made the necessary cover-up. The two of them arrived in Cairo, the center of the current Arab world.
In recent centuries, the center of the entire Peace Cult world has been Constantinople, the capital of the Ottoman Empire, which represented the pinnacle of the Peace Cult world before the Industrial Revolution. All-round advantage to Christendom in the agricultural age!
It is difficult to imagine how European countries would have overcome the situation of being surrounded on three sides if they had not discovered the New World. It wasn't until World War I that the Allies defeated the last major power in the world.
But in the Arab world, Cairo has a status like a beacon. Since the reforms of Egypt's Ali Pasha, Cairo has been like a cultural center in the Arab world, having a unique influence on intellectuals in the Arab world. This influence is natural, whether with or without Nasser.
In the history of nearly one hundred years, Cairo University has played an important role in inheriting and carrying forward ancient Egyptian culture and Arab culture. No other university can match it to this day. The university offers a wide range of subjects, but the most distinctive ones are medicine, literature and law. These subjects receive great attention in Egypt and even the entire Arab world.
After arriving in Cairo, Alan Wilson expressed his desire to take Hedy Lamarr to see the pyramids and feel the charm of the cultural center of the Arab world.
"Alan, I am a Jew." Hedy Lamar sighed quietly, saying that she was willing to accompany him to Cairo this time, purely out of emotional considerations, not for this man who had just finished a war with Israel. The country has a good impression.
"This is my negligence, I'm sorry." Alan Wilson looked stern and apologized sincerely.
"It's nothing. I won't interfere in your affairs. Let's just pretend that there is no war." Hedy Rama then agreed easily, "When you're done, we can also take a look at the shocking Great Pyramid."
"Heidi, you are so considerate and touching." Alan Wilson held the woman's body and moved her around. This was not an easy task, and it was far less easy than holding Vivien Leigh.
"Go and do your business! I'm waiting for you here." Hedy Lamarr's face felt a little hot, and she couldn't imagine that she could actually say this.
The current Egypt is not a colony. It should be in a state similar to a protectorate. Relying on the legacy of its ancestors, Britain still has a strong influence in Egypt, but ordinary Egyptians may not like this very much.
Lord Barron is the British Commissioner to the Persian Gulf, and in a sense the highest official in the affairs of the Arab world.
When Alan Wilson came to the door, it was difficult for Sir Barron to describe his mood. Mixed emotions were the most appropriate way to describe it. On the one hand, Alan Wilson was a difficult deputy. On the other hand, the same was true. Some So capable.
"Dear Sir Barron, I think about your teachings to me all the time. Whenever I am in trouble, your decisive attitude in facing problems can always guide me in the direction." Alan Wilson said with a smile on his face. He gave a humble greeting. Although the two were already on the same level in terms of rank, he was no longer the subordinate he was when he was in British India.
"Alan, long time no see." Sir Barron said inexplicably, "I didn't expect London to send you to assist me."
"The main reason is that I have nothing to do recently and am waiting for the opportunity to serve the empire, so I was sent to assist you, Sir." Just like in British India, Alan Wilson expressed respect to his old boss, and then took it out from the Mediterranean Fleet. After receiving the information, he went straight to work, "There are still some issues to discuss with Jazz."
The Cairo Conference is an attempt by Britain to maintain its influence in the Arab world. It is of great significance. Alan Wilson will not take it lightly as he is just a monk beating the clock.
