"The Irish soldiers are perhaps the best soldiers on the planet, they have the loyalty of the European soldiers, the bravery of the African soldiers, the diligence of the Asian soldiers, the cleverness of the American soldiers, they are always united and help each other, they work together, they are good at organizing tactics, and they do a very good job both offensively and defensively!" -- Excerpt from the quotation of the German Field Marshal and Bavarian **** Ruprecht, who commanded the Allied forces of the Western Allies.

"The Irish Navy is our most trusted partner on the battlefield, they have first-class officers, first-class gunners, first-class torpedo crews, first-class pilots, and ships and equipment are also first-class, and these elements together constitute first-class maritime combat!" -- On an official occasion, German Field Marshal von Oldenburg praised the Irish Navy.

In the royal suite reception room on the 108th floor of the Limerick Free Finance Building, His Majesty Joachim I, who came from the Hohenzollern royal family, sat with a group of Jews of various statuses, showing nothing of the dislike and contempt that most Europeans have for the Jewish people. The guests talked about their ideals of restoration and their determination to fight, as if Jews all over the world were ready to die for this moment of waiting for a thousand years, and Natsuki listened quietly, bowing his head slightly, but it was only a courtesy response. It is true that after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, the Middle East was more conducive to the Jewish state than it had been in the past few hundred years, but this did not mean that the establishment of a Jewish state would be a matter of course. As early as the 30s, people found rich oil resources in the Arabian Peninsula, in order to drive out the Ottoman rulers, the Arab League used part of the exploitation rights of oil resources as a bargaining chip, and successively obtained the support of the United States and Britain, Italy and Japan. Neither the Germans nor the Italians wanted the war to affect their oil exploitation, so they adopted a "carrot and stick" strategy towards the countries of the Middle East. In March 1946, under the leadership of Germany, the League of Nations passed a resolution to send peacekeeping troops to the Palestinian territories, putting an end to the dispute between Syria and the Arab kingdom. However, after entering 1947, the situation in Palestine deteriorated again with the suppression and expulsion of Jews by the Arabs, and the 8,000-strong League of Nations peacekeeping force was overstretched to maintain stability in the entire region. Violence against Jews has been frequented in neighbourhoods that are difficult for peacekeepers to reach, as well as in settlements far from Palestine, resulting in an increasing number of casualties and property damage.

In this context, the Jewish plutocracy, businessmen, and scholars in Europe actively tried to use the power of the international community to change the situation in Palestine, but at the Council of the League of Nations in July, the proposal to send additional peacekeeping troops to Palestine was not adopted, although the proposal was put forward by the German delegates, but the German top leadership managed to withdraw from the quagmire of suppressing the Polish revolutionary forces, and at this time there was no intention of expending energy in the Palestinian areas, which lacked military and economic value. Since none of the members of the League of Nations were intent on getting too involved in this ethnic and religious conflict, they were considering reducing the number of maintenance forces or even ending the peacekeeping operation early.

After all these twists and turns, the shrewd Jews realized that the Germans could not be counted on, and that the League of Nations was only good at making peace with the mud, and was indifferent to the demands of the Jews, and that returning to Palestine and establishing a Jewish state could only rely on their own efforts after all, and that in order to establish a state in Palestine, which was dominated by Arabs, it was necessary to build up its own military armament. Unfortunately, the Jewish people are scattered all over the world, and for nearly 2,000 years they have no experience in organizing governments and armies, and the minds of Zionist organizations are not sure whether Jews can be more than capable of military roles. The superior resources at their disposal at the moment are nothing more than the financial backing of the Jewish plutocracy and merchants, and there are still only a handful of experienced and capable military talents like Erhard Milch.

This group of ambitious Jews tried by all means to obtain an audience with the king of the new United Kingdom, and all kinds of expressions and compliments were nothing more than an attempt to use the military power of the new United Kingdom to realize their long-cherished wish to establish a Jewish state. In their view, the brave and warlike Irish army sent troops to help the U.S. military fight against Japan twice, not for justice or friendship, but for a huge reward from the U.S. government. In that case, they could also pay the Irish army to help them build their state, and the pay and pension rates were much higher than what the Americans paid.

Natsuki politely waited for the other party to finish speaking, and then explained unhurriedly: "Neither the former Irish Defence Force nor the current new United Kingdom have ever acted as international mercenaries. When you say that the Irish army assists the U.S. military in the war, it is the Irish retired personnel who are hired by the U.S. government as volunteers, and strictly speaking to participate in the war is their own behavior, and has nothing to do with our government. Of course, for political and diplomatic reasons, we did not prohibit them from doing so. ”

Erhard Milch had worked in the German army for most of his life, and he was a man of understanding, so he hurriedly answered: "We understand what Your Majesty means, and some of our expressions just now may be inappropriately worded, which has made Your Majesty misunderstand the meaning, and I beg Your Majesty to forgive me!" If possible, we would also like to hire veterans from your country to help us defend ourselves against enemy attacks as we establish a Jewish state. ”

Natsuki didn't refuse, but asked, "Then how many volunteers are you going to hire from me?" ”

Milch looked at his companions and replied succinctly: "200-300 special operations troops, 15000-18000 ordinary troops." ”

Natsuki laughed heartily, and at the end, he said to Milch, "General, thank you for being so sure of the combat effectiveness of our soldiers, but with all due respect, I am afraid that this little strength is not enough to make your country stand firmly on the land of Palestine." ”

The Jews present all showed surprised expressions, but Mirch remained calm: "Then, in Your Majesty's opinion, how many troops are needed to fight against the Arab army?" ”

"If you want to establish a Jewish state, will you have to contend with more than the Arab armies?" Natsuki asked meaningfully.

Milch's face showed a slight look of surprise, and he turned his gaze to Haim Weizman, who was now the head of the world Zionist organization, and then said: "Your Majesty is worthy of being the most outstanding military strategist of our time, and you can see at a glance the greatest crux of our troubles. Indeed, for all known reasons, almost the whole world does not like us very much, and once we declare the establishment of a Jewish state, it will be difficult for us to gain rapid recognition and support from the international community, and the worst that can be expected at the moment is that the League of Nations does not recognize our legitimacy, and then the peacekeeping force stationed in Palestine may become our strongest enemy. ”

"It is very unlikely that this will happen, because since you are determined to establish a Jewish state in Palestine, you must be ready to explain the legitimacy of the Jewish state to the Council of the League of Nations, and you have privately enlisted the support of many national dignitaries, so that you will not be conscripted by the League of Nations peacekeepers, even if you do not have the protection of the League of Nations. The problem I'm talking about is that vested interests in the oil resources of the Middle East should be inclined to maintain the status quo when they are not sure whether the Jewish state will threaten their interests. These consortia and enterprises, although they do not have direct control over the military, can easily supply large quantities of weapons and equipment to Arab countries with which they have cooperation, providing them with military instructors and technicians. Don't look at the fact that Syria and the Arab kingdom don't have a few decent planes now, and when you declare the state, they may soon be able to send hordes of bombers to attack you. Natsuki unhurriedly expressed his analysis and judgment.

Weizmann mused, "You mean ...... Politically, what we urgently need is not the understanding of ordinary countries, but the support of the world's number one power; In the military, what we urgently need is not experienced soldiers, but powerful technical weapons and people who can skillfully operate them? ”

"Yes, but not entirely." Natsuki replied, "Politically, you can't guarantee to those with vested interests that their interests will never be harmed, but you can promise future benefits to those who have not gained benefits. In the military, you need weapons, soldiers, and even more time. ”

The real meaning of these words was hidden behind the literal meaning, and while the statesmen and military strategists were lost in thought, the shrewd businessman thought he had got the gist - Lord Robert Rothschild was busy saying: "Your Majesty, rest assured, that we willingly repay you with all that we have now and will have in the future, as long as we can succeed in establishing a Jewish state with your help." ”

"Yes!" Weizmann hurriedly responded, "We can swear to Jehovah that His Majesty will give us all in return for his kindness!" ”

Natsuki stood up and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, if I were a greedy person, then my country would occupy at least a few colonial territories in Eastern Europe and West Africa, not just a small island of Bahrain. I have neither the ambition to expand my territory nor the desire to plunder wealth, and I do what I do according to my code of conduct. When my allies chose to stand idly by, I supported the U.S. war against Japan and the Soviet Union against Japan because I couldn't tolerate the brutality of the Japanese army in the occupied zone. When my allies choose to stand idly by, if I support you in establishing a Jewish state, it is because you have reasons that I feel you should support, not simply because you will provide my country with benefits in return. Furthermore, the most important thing for you to succeed is not the support from the outside world, but whether you have enough inner tenacity! ”
