January 3, 1991, Washington International Airport. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo{{}}

A Boeing 747 passenger plane slowly landed here, and on the ground, it was already crowded, and Zorik, the deputy chief of staff of the White House, was quietly staying below.

The cabin door opened, and a person inside looked at the crowd below, and whispered in his heart, America, I'm here again.

Yitzhak Rabin, as Israel's prime minister, has a very important purpose in visiting the United States.

According to the previous agreement, this time, Rabin came mainly to sign a document with the United States, which will station troops in Israel.

To be sure, Rabin did not welcome this plan at all, and no one welcomed it at the top of Israel.

But they can't do it, because they have to rely on the United States.

Now, the situation in the Middle East is already very complicated, in the last Saudi rebellion, the Arabs pointed the signs at the United States, but did not make any accusations against Israel, which made Rabin feel uneasy, that Qusay's idea must not be speculated on by common sense. {{}}

In the past few years, the situation in the Middle East has become more and more erosive, and under the leadership of Qusay, there has been a faint trend of unity among the countries of the Middle East, which will have a greater impact on Israel's strategic space, and they cannot imagine how Israel will continue to exist in the Middle East if the Arabs become a whole.

Taking advantage of the deterioration of the current situation in the Soviet Union, a large number of Jews living in the Soviet Union began to return to Israel, and the total population of Israel rose by about 400,000, and they were also carrying out new plans to move Jews back to Israel from all over the world.

Israel, it has to have a large enough population to be able to exist in this place, but the people who have newly migrated back. The problem of resettlement is difficult to solve, and the only way is to build more Jewish settlements and drive out the original Arabs from the land.

But now, does Israel dare to do such a thing again?

Israel has been desperately expanding its armaments for several years, and finally. {{}} Air Force fleet. It is about to return to its original size, and although most of the pilots do not have enough time to train, they are still able to take on the task of defending their country's airspace.

Israel has survived adversity from scratch, they are not afraid of any strong enemy, however, Rabin does not know peacekeeping, and there is always a feeling that he is not very comfortable.

Israel's defense. Need to rely on a strong United States, however, does not mean that Israel welcomes the presence of American troops, which will affect Israel's vital interests, however. In the current situation, Israel has no choice.

Following Rabin, Netanyahu stepped down, looking better than Rabin. Unlike Rabin, Benjamin Netanyahu was born in Tel Aviv. He was born after the establishment of the State of Israel. His father was a professor of Jewish history and participated in the editing of the Hebrew Encyclopedia. His brother Jonathan? Netanyahu, who was killed in action in Operation Entebbe in 1976 and is listed as a war hero by Israel, is a younger brother who is a radiologist and writer. All three brothers participated in reconnaissance battalions directly under the IDF General Staff. {{}}

For Netanyahu, he is a pure Jew in Israel, Israel, his homeland!

For the sake of Israel's strength, it is okay to do anything, as long as it is for Israel! This is Netanyahu's principle.

"Prime Minister Rabin's visit to the United States is very welcome." When he arrived at the White House, President Bush cordially shook his hand.

"It is a great honor that the friendly relations between our Israel and the United States are as evergreen as a pine tree." Rabin said.

After the courtesy answers, the two sides gradually got to the point.

"The current situation in the Middle East is not optimistic, and in order to avoid another deterioration of the situation, we need to station troops in Israel." Defense Secretary Dick Cheney said: "On this point, we have reached a preliminary intention and now, we need to negotiate specific issues." ”

"Yes, Iraq is rising very quickly, and their Mirage 4ooo fighters often fly on our border with Jordan. Rabin said: "We must contain the rise of the Arabs, otherwise we in the Western world will face a catastrophe." ”

Everyone can see that the Middle East, which is rich in oil resources and is the world's main energy supplier, is definitely not a good thing if it becomes strong. But those damned Europeans, for the sake of immediate interests, for a little oil, all fought with the Arabs, what a far-sighted act!

"We, the United States, intend to lease two bases in your country, the Ufuda Air Base and the Yotvata 6th Army Base." Cheney said.

The United States has the most powerful navy, but it does not plan to rent Israeli naval bases, because the Mediterranean Sea is the backyard of the American Navy, and they have multiple naval bases, and the Israeli Navy does not have large forces

ships, if they lease Israeli naval bases, then they will have to expand the port, which will cost a lot of money, and once the war breaks out and the Suez Canal in Egypt is impassable, they will have no advantage at all. The U.S. needs a naval base in Yemen, where the waters are vast enough for their large warships, including aircraft carriers, to navigate and for attack operations. {{}}

Among them, the Ufuda air base was originally built with the assistance of the Americans, and now the United States wants to rent that base, and Israel absolutely cannot say anything, but the Americans have even set up the 6th Army base there, which is completely different from Israel's original plan.

Because, these two bases, are in the southernmost part of Israel. It was the safest place in the whole land of Israel. Since the Americans are here, it is necessary to let them play a role, and it is most appropriate to put them in the western part of the Golan Heights.

Now, although the Golan Heights have not fallen back into the hands of Syria, they are under the control of the Arabs, especially Iraq, and in the name of peacekeeping, an armored division has been placed there, and once the war breaks out, the Iraqis are condescending and can even drive directly to Tel Aviv.

Is it so easy for Americans to want to garrison troops and want to stay behind safely?

"Mr. President, Your Excellency the Minister of Defense, it is not suitable for garrisons, it is almost close to the desert area, there is very little water, and the living conditions are also very poor, it is not as good as the Hatzerim Air Base or the Haifa Air Base in the north, which is a coastal area, which is convenient for the transportation of materials, and the 6th Army base can be in the Safed area, which is close to the high road, which is convenient for the transportation of materials, and the water source is abundant, and the climatic conditions are very good."

As soon as Cheney heard this, he knew that this was completely inappropriate, because the water was abundant, but the source of the water was in the hands of the Arabs in the Golan Heights, where most of the area, such as Safed, was completely covered by long-range artillery fire on the Golan Heights.

The Americans went there to station troops, but they didn't go there to be cannon fodder, so they wouldn't be so stupid.

"Of course, we have to leave the good conditions to the Israeli army, and the intentions between us will last forever." General Powell said: "We went there to deter Iraq and Saudi Arabia, especially Saudi Arabia, where we have the most impact, and we are stationed in that area, which is southern Israel, which can just pass through Jordan and attack Saudi Arabia. ”

Powell said that it is very close to Saudi Arabia, but it is still far from Riyadh. If a real war breaks out, it will definitely be the Golan Heights that will start first.

"Prime Minister Rabin, the location of the garrison has been carefully considered and discussed by us, and all of this is for the common interests of our side, and I hope that you will consider it carefully, and now Iraq has a large number of missiles that can directly cover the entire territory of Israel." Cheney continued to put pressure on him.

When it comes to Iraq, Cheney's words are very clear, the United States is doing this to balance the biggest force in the Middle East, Iraq, that is, to help Israel, if Iraq launches a ballistic missile attack, where is the stationing of troops not the same? In modern warfare, there is no distinction between the front and the rear.

At this point, Rabin already knew that although he did not want to, it seemed to be necessary, and he had no choice but to agree.

"In order to deal with the ballistic missiles of the Iraqis, we will export to Israel ten sets of improved Patriot missile systems, which are fully capable of intercepting short-range ballistic missiles." Cheney said. "Moreover, we will hand over four E-3 AWACS aircraft to your Air Force."

The main culprit of the Israeli Air Force's vitality last time was Iraq's ballistic missiles, and Israel has always advocated offensive air defense and has not paid much attention to the role of air defense missiles, and their main force is the American-made Hawk missiles, and as a result, all the air bases have been killed by the hateful Iraqi ballistic missiles.

The Israeli Air Force, in a few years, gradually recovered, but the threat of ballistic missiles is still fresh in its memory.

As a result, Israel spent a huge amount of money to work with the United States to develop the technology for intercepting ballistic missiles, the arrow anti-missile system, which was established under this circumstance, but there is still a long way to go before it is practical. At this time, the United States had improved their Patriot system to the extent that it could intercept ballistic missiles, so it was marketed to Israel.

And AWACS aircraft, Israel has always attached great importance to it. However, they did not continue to import from the United States, because the orders on the American production line have been scheduled for 92 years, and they can't wait so much, and their own airborne early warning and control system, the Ferkang system, has also begun to be fully researched, and now, great progress has been made.
