From the perspective of Israel’s national security, Egypt is not an imminent threat. The country that really keeps Israel awake is Syria. Although Jordan is closer, Jordan’s strength is somewhat embarrassing. The military powers in the Arab world are Egypt and Syria.
Countries in Iraq and the Persian Gulf are okay with a piece of cloth on their heads, but they are far behind in terms of combat.
Jordan, a country that the UK once focused on, is neither a military power nor extremely rich. Its role is equivalent to that of Oman, another country with which the UK maintains good relations.
Syria's military construction relies on the strong support of the Soviet Union, which is not much worse militarily than Egypt, which is supported by the United Kingdom. The two Arab countries currently supported by the Soviet Union in the Middle East are both typical third world military powers during the Cold War. This is also a characteristic of the Soviet Union.
.
The current time is relatively close to the Fourth Middle East War in history. The process of the Fourth Middle East War was that the Arab coalition, mainly Egypt and Syria, won first and then lost.
However, during the Fourth Middle East War, Israel realized for the first time that Israel could not fight a war of attrition. After the war, Israel was extremely shocked by the heavy casualties and changed its previous mentality of underestimating the enemy.
Also after this Middle East War, Israel returned most of the land from the Third Middle East War, and reconciled with Egypt specifically to deal with Syria.
But this world is obviously different. The Middle East war only broke out once when Israel was founded. Alan Wilson even thought that Israel would never break out of war with neighboring countries.
But this time the U.S. military aid forced him to reassess the possibility of war. The U.S. and the Vietnam War had overspent hundreds of billions. If it were replaced with gold, the U.S. would not even be able to afford the repayment. It would require a country from all over the world.
There are no resources that can be avoided. To digest the over-developed currency, oil is obviously the best choice.
Moreover, compared to its importance, the price of oil is indeed low, and there is absolutely room for it to rise. Although this is a bit of a conspiracy theory, it is also reasonable.
Is there anything strange about forcing Israel to be the leader? The United States protects Israel, and Israel also has no hesitation when it comes to taking the lead.
"I just want to see how far Washington can arm Israel." Alan Wilson especially wanted to meet with the big brother at this time. Once a fight breaks out, Egypt, Jordan, and Syria will definitely bear the brunt. Everything else can be said. The Suez Canal can definitely
If the Suez Canal is threatened, the whole of Europe, including the UK, will be ruined.
The Soviet Union must have played a role in the start of the Middle East war, because once Syria rushes down the Golan Heights, Israel will be finished, and Britain, as the supporter behind Jordan and Egypt, cannot completely stay out of the matter.
Starting from Farouk I, Britain helped Egypt become the leader of the Arab world for so many years. This alliance was mainly defeated by Israel, and Britain would be disgraced.
This matter cannot be discussed with the richest woman, because Pamela Mountbatten really has Jewish ancestry, and she is even a Jew according to Israel’s matrilineal definition. Although Pamela Mountbatten herself does not think so, she still wants to plot against Israel.
You have to take care of her feelings.
It’s not surprising that Pamela Mountbatten has no feelings for Israel. Of course, blood is one aspect, but it also depends on self-perception. Are they Polish or Slavs? Why don’t they still compare with Russia? French people also have a large proportion of Germanic genes.
, but it does not delay the French people’s choice of Latin culture to shape their country’s history.
"Just think of it as a farewell before returning home!" Alexeyev rushed to the meeting place with a lot of thoughts. His mood at this time was very complicated. From the perspective of the country, he did not want to meet with officials from a hostile camp country. This
Not only is it not good for him, it is also not good for the other party.
The good eldest son described by the supreme authority is ready to return to the country. On the one hand, his gilded time has ended, and on the other hand, he wants to return to the country to find a marriage candidate to solve the marriage problem. This is the same in all countries, and the stability of marriage is also an expression of love for the country.
The role of organizational loyalty.
Therefore, Alan Wilson is the most loyal person to the British Empire, and his wife is the wealthiest woman in Britain. How could such a marriage betray the country?
Pushing open the door and entering, Alexeyev sat down directly. Before his old father could speak, "Sir, my mother will be very happy if we can meet him before I return to China."
"Go back to China? What are you going to do?" Alan Wilson, who was about to discuss the key points with the good boy, was stunned for a moment, and then asked directly when he became interested.
"For promotion, we also need to solve the marriage problem." Alexeyev did not hide anything. Although for others, going online is considered a leak, but the son of the tsar obviously has his own standards, and others don't care if they ask.
, the person in front of me is extraordinary after all.
"Oh, that's really good news. Ekaterina should be very happy." Alan Wilson expressed his congratulations sincerely. He was a lieutenant colonel before. Why can't the military rank be raised one level after being promoted?
It is possible to become a colonel in your twenties. Except for monsters like Semichasny, it is probably very rare among normal people.
The great son's career was going smoothly. Alan Wilson, a senior bureaucrat, was certainly happy. Even though he was in an enemy country, he was still his son. Besides, that was the Soviet Union, one of the two strongest powers in the world.
After entering the 1970s, the Soviet Union has long been a real world hegemon. After the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Soviet Union has been recognized by the United States. If the United States insists on allowing oil prices to rise to absorb the excess issuance of US dollars, the Soviet Union will also be the beneficiary.
.
There is no need to doubt the Soviet Union's national strength, although many indicators are inconsistent. For example, according to the standards of the United States in the 21st century, which is not supported by unknown data, the Soviet Union's national strength is less than one-third that of the United States. This is obviously
Very nonsense.
With less than one-third of America's national strength, how could the United States be in such a state of disarray in the 1970s and 1980s? Either the data is wrong, or corruption in the United States has already eaten up two-thirds of its national strength.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is generally believed that the Soviet Union’s national power is 70% of that of the United States. Coupled with its natural land hegemony, its radiation power is even equal to that of the United States. But after the oil crisis, the Soviet Union’s
Fiscal revenue once reached 90% of that of the United States. If calculated based on fiscal revenue, the Soviet Union's national strength would be even higher.
Alan Wilson still believes in the 70% theory. Ninety percent of fiscal revenue must be related to the increase in oil revenue after the oil crisis. It belongs to external forces and not the Soviet Union's own capabilities.
As Alexeyev watched, the spokesman for the British bureaucracy in front of him straightened his brows, and something called pride appeared on his face. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, and he said helplessly, "What does Sir want to do with me? With you and me,
Considering his status, we actually shouldn’t meet him.”
"I didn't tell anyone that you were a member of the KGB." Alan Wilson chirped, wanting to be serious, but the pride on his face still lingered.
This makes the anti-revolutionary workers who are determined to sniff out and eradicate traitors feel on pins and needles. Is the old father bored enough to talk to him about family matters?
Just as he was about to say something, Alan Wilson asked a question, "If a war breaks out in the Middle East again, which side will the Soviet Union support?"
"My guess is that it supports Arab countries. What does Israel have? It has a lot of influence in the financial industry, but the Soviet system does not value these things."
"Eh? Well, more or less." Alexeyev babbled for a long time, then nodded, "Even if normal countries don't support Arab countries, they won't stand against the Arab world, right?"
Alan Wilson nodded. In fact, during the Fourth Middle East War at the same time, there was really no country that supported Israel except the United States. European countries, including Britain and France, which had lost all their colonies, also took over Israel when they were in a disadvantageous position.
He asked for help, but was rejected without exception.
Therefore, the reason why the oil crisis broke out is very unreasonable. European countries are obviously neutral, but they were called by Saudi Arabia for an oil embargo and became countries with the same status as the United States.
This is outrageous. Europe obviously did not express its support for Israel, so why was it hit on the head with the big stick of oil? Although Europe and the United States are embargoed, especially the United States, which obviously has no shortage of important resources at home, has been affected more than nothing.
Europe is small. European countries that cannot be self-sufficient in energy are obviously not as resistant as the United States.
Europe has been pinched by the United States more than once because it cannot be self-sufficient in energy. Decades later, Europe will tearfully support Ukraine and stab itself with a knife to scare Russia.
"When a war breaks out, who do you think will win, Israel or the Arab countries? If the Soviet Union sides with the Arabs, how can the final victory be guaranteed? Have you ever thought about this question?" Alan Wilson asked again, "Do you think tanks vs. tanks, or aircraft vs.
Airplanes, can Arab countries defeat Israel?"
"It shouldn't be a big problem." There have not been several Middle East wars in this world, so Alexeyev didn't know that Arab countries had refreshed the lower limit.
"I wish I were as optimistic as you. Once a war breaks out in the Middle East, Britain cannot afford to lose, because Britain's influence is concentrated in the Arab world, not in Israel. Israel is a pro-American country and there are hundreds of Jews in the United States.
Ten thousand." Alan Wilson sighed, and then told the big boy that the United States had just given Israel four fighter squadrons, the F4 fighter jets currently in service in the United States.
"Does this prove that Israel will go to war?" Alexeyev smiled bitterly in his heart. He was engaged in intelligence. He was going to go to war with some military aid. Isn't it too hasty?
"I don't blame you for not understanding the currency issue. After all, this is the shortcomings of the Soviet Union." Alan Wilson sounded like an old father who hopes his son will succeed. "There is also something worth learning about capitalism."
