Chapter 230: Return to Haganah
David? Ben-Gurion, Jew, was the first governor of the Han Empire. In the first half of 1941, he was appointed by the Han Emperor to return to the ancestral home of the Jews in Palestine. There were also many Jews there, dreaming of fulfilling the myth of "a landless people returning to a land without a nation."
A group of Jews called the Haganah had been fighting in Palestine against British rule, assassinating hostile Arabs, and most of their activities were financed by the City of the Seven Angels.
This time, Gurion secretly returned to Palestine precisely to contact the "Haganah" and use the funds and weapons provided by the empire to expand them into an army, more disrupt British rule in the Middle East, and facilitate the control of the Middle East by the imperial army.
The Haganah secretly purchased arms, smuggled weapons and organized illegal immigration for the Burroughs region, defending Jewish neighborhoods against Palestinian Arab attacks. Its members are scattered across kibbutzines, but they have structures such as the Supreme Command and the General Staff.
The current name of the head of the Haganah is Isse? Harrell, the person Gurion was looking for when he returned to Palestine.
"As long as we can organize a stronger army and take control of Port Said if necessary, His Majesty will support us in establishing a state in the Sinai Peninsula."
"Statehood? Would the Han Emperor support another Jewish state? Harrell was pro-American, because most of the Jews in Palestine believed that the Han Emperor had already installed a kingdom of Judah and would no longer support Israel!
"Of course, don't you know? The Han dynasty supported the royal revival movement in the South Pacific, and several Jews of descent had already applied for royal status. His Majesty has always been a strong supporter of the Zionist movement of our Jews. Otherwise, Harrell, you wouldn't think that without the permission of His Majesty the Emperor Han, the Seven Angels City could still have such a strong support for Haganah, right? Gurion was puzzled by the misunderstanding of the Han Emperor, but on second thought, after the British used a white paper to limit the number of Jewish immigrants to Palestine, they turned to the Americans for support. In the mouths of the Americans, of course, there will be no good words about the Han Emperor.
"Hehe", Gurion looked at Harrell, who was a little confused in front of him, another young man who had been poisoned by the so-called democracy and freedom of the United States.
"Harrell, don't think that the United States worships Lady Liberty and bills itself as a model for the democratic world, that they are really as glamorous as they say they are. Tearing through the camouflage of the capital world, they are equally bloody plundering and brutal killings. How many Native Americans have died since Mayflower landed in North America? One million Indians were killed in the westward expansion of the United States alone, and I am afraid that there are basically no pure-blooded male Indians in the United States today, right? It can be said that the Indians of the Americas are even worse than us Jews! This is the nation and freedom that Americans flaunt? ”
After a tirade, Gurion gasped, and it seemed that his compatriot, the young leader of the Haganah, was not very convincing.
"Harrell, if you look at the Han Empire, although the Han Emperor is called a fascist by the British and Americans, and His Majesty is indeed a traditional respect, he is not a dictator. The political and economic aspects of the empire are all managed by the cabinet, and in South China, ethnic diversity, compare the situation of the indigenous people in the South China continent before and after the founding of the Han Dynasty, and then compare the Indians and the indigenous people of South China, in the empire, the indigenous people can join the cabinet, and His Excellency Thayer is the Minister of the Interior. Can you imagine an Indian being the director of the CIA? ”
As if moved by Gurion's words, Harrell shook his head, "Don't talk about the Indians, even we Jews are unlikely, right?" ”
"So......" Seeing that the fire was almost over, Gurion made the final summary of the debate, "Americans are fake democracy, and the big men are real freedom!" ”
"Hmm!" The Jews are smart, but not stubborn, "and we don't care who is the president of the republic or the emperor of the dictatorship, we just go back to the land of our ancestors and rebuild our Israel!" ”
Harrell's face went from confusion to regaining confidence. Gurion also smiled, "That's right! For Israel's sake, I will fight with my compatriots! ”
"Really? Mr. Gurion, are you going to give up everything in Dahan and go back to Israel? Young Harrell was a little incredulous, you know, the first of the thirteen states of Dahan will be dozens of times larger than Palestine.
"Jews have no habit of deceiving their fellow citizens! And, Israel, too, is my dream! ”
Indeed, on this point, Gurion did not deceive Harrell, when the Han Dynasty had not yet been founded, when the Jews in Europe were in exile, Gurion was optimistic about Zhongyi and the Han with his unique Jewish vision!
And the facts also prove why the Jews, whether engaged in business or academic research, are all capable people. Gurion was able to find a safe haven for the Jews of Europe with his forward-looking vision, and even the establishment of the Kingdom of Judah was not without Gurion, after all, it was through Gurion that Haman came into contact with the Han Emperor.
However, these are not what the Gurion wanted most, or rather, the Jews who dreamed of returning to their ancestral homeland all the time.
In the minds of these Jews, the City of the Seven Angels was a place of refuge given to them by God Jehovah, and Luzon was only a territory conquered by the Jews with their own wisdom. Only Palestine is the homeland, and only Jerusalem is the holy city.
"I think, Mr. Gurion, you convinced me! No, it is God who guides us to fight together for the Star of David! If the Emperor of Han really supports our restoration, I can lead the Haganah to fight for the Emperor of Han! ”
"No, Harrell, you're wrong. We are fighting for Israel! Moreover, I have applied for the transfer of a group of officers from the Imperial Jewish Legion who are also willing to fight for Israel, and I have also been approved by the Han Emperor. In the near future, they will come to Palestine with a considerable amount of advanced weapons and equipment, oh! By the way, their chief was also a young man, and his name was Moses? Dayan! ”
Gurion's rebellion in Palestine was so successful that the pro-American Haganah group quickly reversed course. Of course, this was inseparable from the promise of the Han Emperor and the declaration of war on Britain, which many Jews saw as the greatest obstacle to the restoration of the country after the British issued a white paper restricting the return of Jews to their "ancestral homeland".
When the one-eyed general Moses? After Dayan led the Jewish officer corps to land on the Red Sea and returned to Palestine, the lack of weapons and the situation of the "Haganah" were greatly improved, and many Jewish residents of the Seven Angels City also returned to their "ancestral homeland" one after another to join the "Haganah" one after another, which made the Palestinian Jewish armed forces grow rapidly.
The situation was exacerbated by the shelling of the kibbutz on the border between Egypt and Palestine by two cruisers of the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet, with Gurion, Harrell and Dayan commanding the Haganah, whose personnel and equipment were no longer what they used to be, confront the British and protect the kibbutz.
-- Kibbutz is the Hebrew word for "group." It is a settled organization, and it is a collective society in which its members are organized on the basis of the ownership of all things, and there is no private property. Its purpose is to practice do-it-yourself, equality and cooperation in all areas of production, consumption and education.
Similar to the People's Commune, it was written that Israel was the real communist. Let's look at it, laugh at it! Say hello to Aunt River Crab!
Although the chaos in Palestine was much more than the British expected, the imperial army had not yet won a decisive victory in the entire African theater, and hundreds of thousands of British colonial troops were still stubbornly resisting in the area centered on Addis Ababa. The German-Italian forces commanded by Rommel only drove the British out of Libby, and for the invasion of Egypt and the complete elimination of the British Eighth Army, Rommel said that he needed reinforcements, and with his current strength, he did not have enough ability to defeat Montgomery and advance the front hundreds of kilometers.
But Adolf simply did not have extra troops to support Africa, and tanks did not! The Soviet counterattack in Smolensk caused heavy losses to the German armored forces, and nearly 2,000 tanks No. 3 and No. 4 were destroyed, which accounted for one-third of the total German armored forces.
Ribbentrop's trip to Chang'an, in addition to the political achievements of the Iron Alliance uniting to declare war on Britain and the United States, also purchased 1,000 Siberian Tiger medium tanks sold at the price of the Han allies, which were imitation of the Tiger medium tanks and were used to equip ordinary troops. As for the Tigers, except for the J-5 fighters and Type 59 tanks in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the equipment of the base has never fallen into the hands of troops other than the Red Guard Corps.
Of course, the Siberian tiger is also satisfied with the mustache enough, after all, in the thirteenth army of the Han Dynasty, they are also equipped Siberian tigers. In the eyes of outsiders, this is the main battle tank of the Great Han.
But Adolf had no intention of giving some of these 1,000 Siberian tigers to Africa, and he couldn't wait to transport them to the Soviet front. The psychological shadow of the "T-34 crisis" on the German army on the Eastern Front, and even on the Führer himself, was too great.
Rommel protested, but ignored him. For Africa, the head of state also values it, but it is enough to have Libyan oil, Egypt? What else is there besides deserts and pyramids?
As for the Suez Canal, the mustache said to his former guard captain: "The Han people will solve it themselves!" You just have to defend Libya! "The Führer has little interest in territory outside Europe for the time being, especially after having agreed to divide the Middle East and East Africa into Han spheres of influence.
True, Adolf's judgment was accurate. In other words, whether it is Churchill or the mustache, since these great gods can become gods, none of them are easy to match.
In Chang'an, the plan of the General Staff to strengthen the forces of the African Front was quickly adopted. The Air Force established an air base in Djibouti and established the Royal Air Force Africa Command. And the Northern Fleet leased the port of Aden in Yemen and Berbera in Sobariland as fleet bases.
The Lend-Lease negotiations for the port of Aden went smoothly - the 6th Marine Division, which belonged to the Northern Fleet, took 30 minutes to defeat the British troops stationed there, and then Guan Canghai drafted a document, the Treaty of Lend-Lease of the Port of Aden, and sent it to the Kingdom of North Yemen. At the end of the 19th century, Britain annexed more than 30 chiefdoms in the south, including Hadramout, to form the Aden Protectorate. The Northern Fleet drove out the British, which was equivalent to completing the great cause of unification for the Kingdom of Yemen, and such a good thing made the king of North Yemen ecstatic, and he signed the document without even looking at it.
Although the lease period is 99 years, the king is still very satisfied with the rent of 100,000 Han Yuan, you must know that in these years, the purchasing power of Han Yuan is ...... The strongest drop!
