Before modern times, ******Jews were regarded as descendants of King David and were rarely discriminated against, and the Jews and ****** Christians who remained in their homeland lived in peace with few disputes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 INFO At the rise of the Zionist movement in the 19th century, Palestine was a province of the Ottoman Empire in Turkey, with the majority of its inhabitants being ****** peasants, and a part of the cities being Arab Christians and native Jews. At this time, the immigrants to Palestine were mainly Eastern European Jews in a precarious situation, and the foundation set up by the Zionist movement financed the purchase of land for them to help them settle down and work, and they were still at peace with their Arab neighbors, but with the continuous migration of European Jews and the economic development and prosperity of Jewish settlements, the contradictions between Jewish immigrants and Arab ****** began to emerge. In 1920, the first Arab riots against the Jews took place, and in the 30s, the economic crisis swept the world, and Palestine and the entire Middle East were not spared. In those dark days, the Jews survived with shrewdness and diligence, and even "a blessing in disguise", their land and wealth increased, and Palestine gradually became the most economically developed region in the Middle East under the painstaking management of the Jews, while the Arabs starved and the situation became worse. This contrast led to an intensifying conflict between the two sides, which by the end of the 30s had become incompatible.

Today, the immediate threat to the Jews in Palestine comes mainly from the Arabs - their equipment and organization are only at the level of armed thugs, which are not enough to constitute an absolute obstacle to the Jewish plan for republication, and the real obstacle to the Zionists is Syria, the Arab kingdom, Lebanon, and other Arab neighbors. Whether it was for religious belief or practical interests, they would not allow the Jews to establish a state here. You must know that Zionism is not only widely spread in the Jewish world, but also that the Arabs have long heard of the "evil plans" of the Jews, and the reason why the armed conflict in the Palestinian region is becoming more and more intense is indispensable to the behind-the-scenes promotion of these Arab countries, and from the perspective of historical trends and natural laws, the emergence of the Jewish state will inevitably break the existing pattern in the Middle East, intensify the contradictions between Arabs and Jews, and make Palestine another "powder keg" after the Balkans......

One day in December 1947, in front of a three-story building in the southern district of Tel Aviv, 29-year-old Demilok was on duty with a loaded gun. Under the warm winter sun, the Sergeant Major of the Irish Foreign Legion 1st Class wore a steel helmet with a camouflage mesh cover similar to an African helmet, a yellow and green striped camouflage field uniform, a pair of black high-top sand marching boots, a 5.6 mm Stg-45 assault rifle in his hand, a backpack ammunition pouch for six magazines in front of him, a tactical backpack for equipment such as improvised gas masks, battlefield first aid kits, and individual rations behind him. A straight-handled sapper shovel, a metal kettle, and a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses with a slanted reflective mirror are cool. Compared to the Jewish militia who used manual or semi-automatic rifles, this whole set of equipment was simply "soldiers of the future"!

The window behind Demilok's right is stacked with sandbags to create a firing point, where an MG-43 with a triangular bracket is erected, a general-purpose machine gun with an extremely fast rate of fire, known as the "infantry killer", and is the standard equipment of many Western allies such as Germany, the new United Kingdom, Spain, and England. The two-kilometre-wide front could be easily blocked without heavy weapons, and the three-story building was adjacent to a road, about 50 metres to the south, with a large open area.

A few weeks earlier as a member of the Irish Foreign Legion's "Mohammed" light infantry battalion, Demillok had traveled with the team to the Jewish city of Tel Aviv, which was originally founded in 1909 by a group of Jewish immigrants to escape the high housing prices in the neighboring old port city of Jaffa. Benefiting from the Jewish merchandising talents, it gradually overtook Jaffa, which was predominantly of Arab origin. By 1947, Tel Aviv had a population of nearly 140,000, making it the second largest Jewish settlement after Jerusalem, and attracted a large number of Jewish bankers, wealthy businessmen, business owners, and other elites to settle here. World Ceylonism, that is, the Zionist Organization, has established important bodies such as the Executive Committee here.

As early as the mid-30s, the Ottoman Empire was expelled from the Middle East by the Arabs, and Palestine was the focus of all the forces trying to control it, and the Syrian Arab Republic, the Arab Kingdom, and the Lebanese Republic all sent troops here, but none of these Arab countries could wrestle with the Germans. At the end of 1937, Germany and the United States signed the Asian-African Agreement, and in just two years, Germany signed treaties with Syria, Lebanon, and the Arab kingdoms, gradually establishing Germany's hegemony in the Middle East. By 1941, Germany had established 11 military bases in the Middle East, with as many as 80,000 soldiers stationed there, German warplanes could soar over the Middle East without restrictions, and German warships often cruised on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea and the Persian Gulf. In this case, the Jews had pinned their hopes for restoration on the Hohenzollern royal family, but despite the fawning efforts of the Jewish bankers, the German top brass remained indifferent. Later, Prince Friedrich of Germany was assassinated in Poland, and Germany, together with Austria-Hungary, launched a bloody suppression of the Polish revolutionary armed forces, not wanting to fall into the quagmire of guerrilla warfare. By 1947, there were only 30,000 German troops left in the Middle East, mainly in the Suez Canal and several major oil fields, and the lack of strategic and economic importance of Palestine was only a bargaining chip for their influence on the Arab countries. Syria and the Arab kingdoms each received hints or promises from the German side to fiercely compete for the Palestinian region, and in order to further win the support of Germany, they competed with their own oil resources in exchange for German military and political support, and the Italians, who coveted the oil resources of the Middle East but were driven away by the Germans, did not forget to intervene and secretly encourage the Egyptians to expand their territory to the east......

Before the arrival of 600 Irish foreign legions in Tel Aviv, the security of the police was nominally in charge of the police commissioner appointed by the Arab kingdom and his policemen, and the Jewish businessmen bribed some high-ranking officials of the Arab kingdom to make Tel Aviv's police chief long held by an old man of Arab nationality, and the police station was actually in the hands of Jewish deputies, and the more than 300 policemen in the city were basically Jews. In addition to this, since the outbreak of serious riots in 1945, the Jews also secretly organized militia units to defend the city from Arab militants, and its size gradually increased to 8,000 by the end of 1947.

The arrival of the first Irish Foreign Legions did not fundamentally change Tel Aviv's defenses, which were still under the command of the Jewish militia, but the professional officers of the Foreign Legion brought them formalized and technical military concepts, which in turn improved the city's garrison. Dmilok's detachment was ordered to be stationed on a major transportation artery in the south of the city, and in addition to holding positions and conducting armed patrols, it was to help the militia company in Tel Aviv's southern district with military training every day after dinner. Over the course of a few weeks, especially after getting acquainted with the environment of the zone, their routines were almost as regular as those of factory workers and white-collar workers in office buildings, and with limited military supplies, they could not train with live ammunition as they did in the past, and only occasionally had the opportunity to fire while giving demonstrations to Jewish militias on the rudimentary training grounds. The orderly streets and leisurely pedestrians can sometimes make them forget that they are in a place where danger is always coming.

Glancing at the wilderness ahead, Demilok habitually turned his head to look north, where there was a hometown to which he could not return and constant thoughts. Historically, whenever there was a change of state power or the collapse of a country, there would always be some people who had no choice but to leave their homeland and embark on a long road of exile. When he was young, Demilok could never have imagined that he would one day become a homeless "homeless man".

Originally an officer in the Ottoman Guard, Demirok lost his scruples about his family and family since he was a child, and he was especially brave on the battlefield, which was appreciated by the commander of the Guard, General Akbashi. During the Battle of Anatolia, following the orders of his commander, Demirok personally shot a group of Turkish Republican prisoners of war, but his loyalty did not buy him a good future. When the Ottoman Empire, which had a history of nearly 600 years and a territory spanning Europe, Asia and Africa, died in early 1945, Demilok, fearing reprisals from his opponents, followed General Akbash on a journey into exile and traveled all the way to Ireland, where he was later recruited by the Irish military and became a member of the Irish Foreign Legion.

In the old Ottoman Empire, people usually did not have a surname, and in the event of a duplicate name, they would be distinguished by the first name, which is preceded by large, small, residential address, occupation, etc. Demirok is a common name in Ottoman Turkey, and the current Demirok used to be called "Butcher's Demirok". When serving in the Ottoman Guard, Demilok simply called himself the "butcher of the battlefield", but after several years of ups and downs and twists and turns, he has faded away from his original murderous intent, and has also lost his former ambition, and has become a person who lives purely for the sake of living, a "fighting machine" who is proficient in various military skills and has rich experience in actual combat. He no longer wanted to talk about the former glory of the Ottoman Empire, so he did not despise the Jews who were at the bottom of the Ottoman Empire, nor did he hate the Arabs, who were known for their barbarism and conservatism, nor did he bow down to the generosity of the Jewish consortium. He could not understand the grievances between the Jews and the Arabs, nor did he need to think and understand the reasons for this, all he had to do was obey the orders of his superiors and receive his own remuneration until he died on the battlefield or found a new direction in life......
