Chapter 556: Iron Lady
"I'm going to be the negotiator and I'm going to Jerusalem. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info will be back in a few days. Looking at his daughter running back and forth with warm eyes, Serov grabbed his wife's hand and said, "There are some problems that need to be solved, take good care of the children at home these days." ”
"Got it, look at you're covered in sawdust." Valya reached out and patted the man's body with a muffled sound. You can imagine how powerful this seemingly human-like body is. Thinking of this, the woman's heart was a little hot, she liked this man, although this man was ignorant in some ways.
But Serov didn't think about it so much, and suddenly thought that from now on his daughter seemed to have reached the age of paperwork class, and his body trembled and said, "I don't have anything to do with paperwork class, I can't do that thing as a man." ”
In fact, you don't do any of your homework very well, Valya looked at the pile of scraps, but it doesn't matter, men, as long as the strengths are long enough, some shortcomings can be tolerated by women. Her husband's strengths are obviously enough for this standard.
The warring countries have disengaged, but no one will doubt that as long as they give an order, they will still catch the consequences of fighting, although the Middle East war is only a short half a month, but the several countries participating in the war have already fought a real fire. Even if they are exhausted and unable to fight again, the hostility is undisguised.
As long as the United States and the Soviet Union were open to supplying arms, this war of attrition could continue. In the historical Middle East war, Nasser gritted his teeth and fought a war of attrition with Israel, and he determined that Egypt, with a population of tens of millions, could hold out more than Israel. But his successors eventually became convinced that Israel, backed by Western markets, could afford to do more than Egypt.
This was based on the proportion of casualties in the Middle East war, but it is different now, and although the Arab coalition lost more than 60,000 people, it also killed nearly 5,000 Jews. Even if it is consumed by a ten-to-one comparison, more than 100 million Arabs in the world can still consume it.
The best result, of course, is that these two scourges consume each other to death, and of course Serov also knows that this is unrealistic. He was convinced that as long as the Soviet Union won the Cold War, it would not be good news for other countries, but it would definitely eliminate all the religious forces under its nose, in other words, the most extremely conservative forces in any Arab country would be in a state of extinction, and under the victory of the Soviet Union, there would certainly be no countries in the Middle East that lived a medieval life.
For the time being, communism is not suitable for the Arabs, so support Egypt to suppress Saudi Arabia, which is also a way out of the way. The only country that is still resisting in later generations is Syria, taking this into account. The Soviet delegation, led by Serov, first landed in Damascus, the capital of Syria and an ancient city with a long and glorious history.
In the center of the city stands a huge bronze statue of Saladin, which is not in accordance with Shari'ah law, but Syria does not have such a serious religious atmosphere, Saladin is strictly a Kurd, of course he was born in Syria, and Syria mainly promotes the latter.
"Meet again, General Assad!" After getting off the plane, Serov first stretched out his hand and clasped it tightly with the hand of the Middle Eastern lion, who did not disappoint the Soviets, at least much more reliable than the Egyptians. A new round of aid has been released, and in the rearmament of Egypt and Syria, Syria will not get much less than Egypt, which has won the favor of the Soviet Union through this war, given its military strength and population.
Syria is obviously more likely to make a move that is clearly closer to the Soviet Union than Egypt, after all, the leader of Arab nationalism is Egypt's Nasser, not Assad. Syria also does not have the same big blueprint as Egypt, which wants to integrate the entire Arab world. Syria thinks very practically, if Egypt can give them benefits, they will merge with Egypt. If they can't, they will separate, of course, they are not unprincipled and can talk about everything, and if they can't talk about it, the issue of Israel is among them.
The Soviet Union also advocated only a cease-fire agreement, not a peace agreement, and with both the United States and the Soviet Union, war would break out sooner or later, and the problem now is not that Israel continues to exist. Israel's presence has been tacitly acquiesced, and this time Israel occupies the entire West Bank, so to speak, including all Palestinian land, and the question is whether Israel wants to return to the areas under its control when it was founded.
Of course, for the Soviet Union, Israel could not reach the Soviet Union, and it could have been left to the two sides to make trouble, but once nuclear weapons appeared, it would not be fun, so Serov did not expect anything to come out at all, he just came to talk. By the way, destroy Israel's nuclear facilities, that's all.
On June 22, 1967, two days after the ceasefire, and after meeting up with the Syrian side, the two delegations arrived in Jerusalem, where they were to wait for the Jordanian and Egyptian delegations, as well as the American delegation and Israeli negotiators, to discuss how to put the finishing touches on the war after the war.
Jerusalem is probably the most famous city in the world, and the conflict is as old as its history. Jerusalem was occupied west by the newly formed State of Israel, and East Jerusalem was occupied by Jordan. With the exception of Britain and Palestine, no other country has recognized Jordan's occupation of the East and West Bank of Jerusalem.
Israel and Jordan signed an armistice agreement and the ceasefire line was drawn through the centre of Jerusalem. Thereafter, until this war, East and West Jerusalem belonged to Jordan and Israel, respectively. And the capital of Israel was West Jerusalem. Because of the special importance of Jerusalem for Jews, pacifists and Christians, the question of its status remains unresolved.
"Just for the sake of this city, the two sides are fighting to the death?" Entering this city, which has been completely controlled by Israel, the dress of their group is more eye-catching, and the Soviet-style military uniform is still very different from the military uniform of Western countries.
If it weren't for the fact that he was surrounded by Soviets, Serov probably wouldn't have asked such a question, anyway, he couldn't understand what the charm of the city was, and of course if it was Constantinople, it would be understandable. But Constantinople wasn't just cultural, it was also a city that held the Soviet Union's path south. If it had been in Turkish hands, the Black Sea, the only warm-water area of the Soviet Union, would have been blockaded.
Serov agreed that no matter where you go, you can't come in vain. Even if the smoke of gunpowder has just cleared here, he should go out for a walk and put on body armor before he can do it, after all, he himself is still more afraid of death.
In the Jewish scripture of the Talmud, there is a saying, "If the world is very beautiful, nine parts of it are in Jerusalem." Solomon succeeded to the throne and built a Jewish temple on Mount Zion in the city of Jerusalem, which was the center of religious and political activities of the ancient Jews, and Judaism made Jerusalem a holy place. Later, a wall was built on the ruins of the temple, known to Jews as the "Wailing Wall", which became the most important object of worship in Judaism today.
Serov arrived at the Wailing Wall, and although he didn't feel any special emotions, he stopped here very seriously under the attention of the Israeli soldiers, and he also circled other places, including the Way of the Cross, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the Jaffa Gate.
"A place with a lot of history, this is the highest point of ancient civilization. The most amazing thing is that there are so many remnants left to this day! "There are many cities with glorious histories, but there are not many cities like Jerusalem that can preserve so many historical sites, maybe Damascus and Rome can also be counted as one, but nowhere near as many as Jerusalem.
This city, even if the Soviet Union insists, the Arabs will definitely not return, not to mention that the Soviet Union has no reason to insist at all. At the time of the ceasefire, it was clear to any country that Israel was indeed dominant, but it was very difficult for Israel to win.
A day later, the negotiators arrived in Jerusalem, and U.S. Secretary of State Dean Ander Brown arrived in Jerusalem. Rusk and Israeli negotiators were also present at the same time, and unexpectedly, it was not the foreign minister who was in charge of the Israeli negotiations, but a woman. In Serov's opinion, this woman is completely worthy of an evaluation, and her face is hideous......
"Golda? Meir, General Secretary of the Israeli Labor Party, the last Minister of Foreign Affairs! Serov, who heard the assistant's reminder, nodded, and his eyes returned to Mrs. Meir, no wonder, it turned out to be the world's famous Iron Lady. In a few years, she should be the prime minister of Israel.
Serov and US Secretary of State Dean? Rusk was more like a man in charge, and the arguments were left to the warring countries involved, mainly Egypt, Syria, Jordan and Israel. Among them, Mrs. Meir opened Serov's eyes, this woman was really worthy of the evaluation given to her by the world later, and she didn't know what concession was at all.
"Israel will not give in, we have waited for independence for 2,000 years, and no force can force us to retreat!" Mrs. Meir looked at the Arab representatives with a stark gaze and expressed her determination not to back down.
"How can this old lady speak with a familiar smell, is she born in Russia?" The tone of his speech left a trace on Madame Meir, a trace that Serov was familiar with, and that's how Valya spoke.
It turns out that Mrs. Meir was born in Ukraine, the Russian Empire, and this woman is also familiar with the Soviet socialist thing, and was once the leader of the Israeli trade union. An adversary not to be underestimated, but this is not a reason for the Soviet Union to make concessions.
"It seems that Mrs. Meir thinks that Israel can still fight, and in that case, you can go to war immediately." Since he knew that the other party was born in Russia, Serov directly expressed his meaning in Russian. (To be continued.) )
