Extra 02
It has to be said that even more historically, the Arabs have always been unable to hold up the wall, the first Middle East war was beaten by the East Prussian Defense Forces, which had just come from World War II, and the whole of Palestine, as well as a considerable part of Lebanon and Jordan, were controlled by the Jews.
Seeing that they could not suppress Israel by proxy alone, Britain and France had to jump out and manipulate the United Nations to adopt a peace agreement, interrupting Israel's offensive momentum.
They then secretly exported arms to the Arab coalition through white gloves, and even directly sent military advisers. Then, after they thought they were ready, the following year they instructed the Arab League to tear up the armistice agreement and start a second Middle East war in violation of Security Council resolutions.
At that time, even Churchill thought that the Jews were out of drama this time, right? But the truth slapped them in the face again, and as soon as the Arab League declared the armistice null and void, the nascent IDF on the opposite side directly killed them, and taught Britain, France, and the Arab League a hard lesson with Soviet weapons and American supplies. After one of the largest armored battles since World War II, the Arab coalition forces suffered heavy losses, the Syrian and Egyptian armies were almost completely annihilated, and the Arab coalition forces fled more than 1,000 kilometers all the way.
Once again, Britain and France could not help themselves and tried to put pressure on Israel again through the UN, ready to force Israel to withdraw its troops unilaterally. This time, however, their proposal was directly rejected by the United States and the Soviet Union, and even the United States and the Soviet Union, in turn, strongly condemned the illegal practices of the Arab side in undermining peace and violating the Security Council armistice agreement.
All in all, through this Middle East war, Israel has grown stronger and stronger, occupying important strategic locations including the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights, which has made Britain and France quite uncomfortable.
Churchill never forgot these shames, and vowed to make the Jews pay, and now he finally gave him his chance. The United States successfully conducted a hydrogen bomb test and finally overwhelmed the Soviet Union again, which means that the United States will shift from its previous strategic conservative state to a strategic offensive, and the United States will inevitably break out more contradictions and conflicts with the Soviet Union, which means that US-Soviet relations will go downhill under the general situation.
With the discovery of more and more large-scale oil fields in the Middle East, its strategic position is becoming more and more important, and the Americans naturally cannot let go of this piece of fat. Don't look at the fact that he supported Israel in the past, but to put it bluntly, he is using the Israelis as a gunman, and Israel is just a crowbar for the United States to realize its intentions in the Middle East. If Israel is not that important, if the Arabs show a certain degree of obedience and concession of interests to the United States, then it will not be difficult to turn a blind eye to the United States.
Especially when Israel and the Soviet Union are on a hot journey and cannot do things exactly according to the intentions of the United States, for the Americans, a knock on Israel can not only serve as an intention to wake up the Jews, but also knock on the mountain and shake the tiger and give the Soviet Union a little color.
As a result, Britain and the United States quickly reached an agreement on the Middle East issue, and Britain and France could lead the Arab League to give Israel a little color, and the Americans would be happy to see it, as long as Britain and France promised not to threaten Israel's existence, there would be no problem.
After the United States was dealt with, the third Middle East war was opened by Churchill, and soon the Arab coalition suddenly attacked Israel, which caught the Jews by surprise, the Suez Canal defense line was easily penetrated, the Egyptian army drove straight in, and the main force of the Israel Defense Forces in the north was firmly held back by the Syrian army. The war situation is quite unfavorable for Israel.
Politically, Israel is facing encirclement and suppression by the West, and the Western European forces, led by Britain and France, have announced an arms embargo on Israel and the Arab League in order to maintain peace in the region. But in reality, Britain and France exported a large number of weapons to the Arab League through third countries, and the Arabs only had to pay back with future oil revenues.
The Americans are indeed ambiguous, and he actually abstained from voting in the Security Council on the third Middle East war, which is unprecedented!
Anyway, the Jews were miserable, they were repelled step by step by the Arab coalition forces, and the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights fell one after another, and they were in danger for a while.
On the one hand, the Soviet Union stepped up its aid to Israel, and even directly transported the Red Army's air defense units to Jerusalem to prop up an air defense sky net for Israel, and on the other hand, sternly warned the Arab League to stop all military operations immediately.
It's just that no one took the Soviet warnings seriously at the time, and Churchill even ridiculed: "The polar bear bluffed twice to scare us, does it think it's still 1945?" ”
This is certainly not 1945, because the USSR in 1952 was much stronger than the USSR in 1945, and in 1945 there was no fear of Britain and the United States, let alone 1952. Soon, when the Soviets found that their warnings were useless and the Arab coalition forces were still frantically attacking, Li Xiaofeng gave the order for final punishment.
The Soviet Strategic Rocket Forces launched an R-7 intercontinental missile from Central Asia and threw a hydrogen bomb with a yield of five million tons on the heads of the Egyptian armored forces, and the violent nuclear explosion sent the Egyptians to hell, more than 100 tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed, and more than 10,000 Egyptian soldiers in the core area were instantly evaporated, and the good momentum of the Egyptians was interrupted.
This shocked the world, no one thought that the polar bear would be so brutal, and the nuclear weapon was used as it was said, without any hesitation. Especially the Americans, who were very proud before, originally thought that they were the only ones who had mastered the secret of the hydrogen bomb, but who would have thought that the Soviet Union had not only mastered it, but also had already combined it with the R-7 missile and had complete combat capability. It's game-changing!
In the past, the United States dared to try a strategic offensive because it thought that it had suppressed the Soviet Union in terms of strategic deterrent forces, and that it could dare to attack without worrying about the Soviet Union's retaliation. And now, this Nima turned out to be just wishful thinking, just a soap bubble!
This hydrogen bomb shocked the world, and the Americans were dumbfounded, as for Britain and France, one has just completed the experiment of the atomic bomb, and the other has not even completed the atomic bomb, where would they dare to touch such a murderous Soviet Union?
Anyway, for a while, "the people. The Soviet Union, not to mention the more "poisonous dishes" of the main country, was so tough that it didn't even have the courage to condemn it, especially France, which had white pants, and was directly frightened. Churchill, it's not much better, after all, Britain has only completed the first atomic bomb test, and there is still a long way to go before it is practical, and the number is seriously insufficient.
This nuclear bomb directly exploded the pants of the West, and only then did the world discover that the Soviet Union also had a hydrogen bomb. It can even be put into use directly, which seems to be even more awesome than the United States!
Of course, the question arises, when exactly did the Soviet Union get hold of the secret of nuclear fusion? The Soviet Union's answer to this was: "In October 1945, the Soviet Union successfully tested the first hydrogen bomb on Novaya Zemlya, and it was a complete success. ”
This statement of the Soviet Union was ridiculed by the United States and Britain at the time, because in their opinion it was simply impossible, the United States only exploded the first atomic bomb in 1945, and it is estimated that the Soviet Union has just mastered nuclear fission, how can it be possible to leapfrog to nuclear fusion in one step! This is simply a Soviet bluff, it is fake!
It's just that the slap in the face is still to come, because not long after the sarcastic ridicule of Britain and the United States, the Soviet Union once again issued a stern warning to Syria, demanding that it immediately withdraw from the Golan Heights, otherwise the consequences will be clear.
The Syrians were naturally scared of the two wars, but even if he wanted to, he couldn't retreat, because the United States and Britain did not allow him to withdraw their troops, one was naturally too embarrassed, and the other was that Britain and the United States wanted to see how many hydrogen bombs the Soviet Union had.
This time, Britain and the United States concentrated a large number of reconnaissance planes and radar stations to closely monitor the rocket launch sites of the Soviet Union in Central Asia, wanting to see how awesome the R-7 really was. Only this time, the USSR surprised Britain and the United States again, this time instead of using the R-7, they fired a cruise missile with a neutron bomb at the Syrian army with a Tu-16 medium bomber. The neutron bomb opened a wide hole in the Syrian army's defensive line, and the IDF took the opportunity to strike back in a big way, recapturing the Golan Heights in one fell swoop.
The British and Americans were completely dumbfounded, and what about let's see the ICBM blowing up the camel? What about the hydrogen bomb that was promised? Woolly bear, you're not authentic!
Of course, the neutron bomb was more powerful than the hydrogen bomb, a "clean" nuclear weapon that kills people without harming weapons, and when the IDF marched in a grand parade of victory with the captured centurions, Churchill felt that the cigars he smoked were bitter.
1952 was a year of high and low walking, and Churchill thought that the people. A great counteroffensive in the Overworld was coming, but the Soviets told them with a hydrogen bomb and a neutron bomb: "Counteroffensive? Backwards? Let's take the morning wash and go to sleep! ”
Obviously, the Soviet Union still has a comprehensive nuclear strategic advantage, and when the Soviet Union casually takes out nuclear weapons and grows mushrooms at will, no one dares to provoke polar bears at will. After all, people have proven that they are by no means mouth cannons, and whoever wants to die can try it.
The stimulus of the third Middle East war was enormous, and the Americans began to frantically increase their investment, tilting their military spending towards nuclear weapons in an all-round way, and investing huge sums of money in the development of neutron bombs and intercontinental missiles, in an effort to completely overwhelm the Soviet Union.
The nuclear arms race was ignited, and it was not enough that when the United States had just announced that it had successfully test-fired its own intercontinental missile, the Soviet Union announced that it had successfully conducted the first underwater test launch of an intercontinental missile, and the development of the Soviet Union's first-generation submarine-launched intercontinental missile had entered its final stage. Good guys, as soon as the Americans saw how this was done, they hurriedly launched their own submarine-launched intercontinental missile program, and even in order to speed up the progress, the funds were further tilted towards it. As a result, a large amount of conventional weapons funds will inevitably be squeezed out, so much so that the US navy, army, and air force have had to carry out a certain degree of disarmament, for example, the navy has cut off a considerable part of the modernization plan of the aircraft carriers left over from World War II.
Britain has inevitably been hit, and they need to catch up even more backward in nuclear engineering, and Britain's funds and resources are even more limited than those of the United States, and the natural conventional military force has become even more unbearable, and at one time only three aircraft carriers were left to save face.
Anyway, it is a lot of pressure for the Conservative Party, because it is not only the military spending of the conventional forces that is being squeezed out, but also a considerable amount of social welfare funding has also been affected.
Anyway, Churchill was under a lot of pressure during that time, and to be honest, he was indeed too old at his age, and such a high-intensity confrontation was really a bit overwhelming. When he gritted his teeth and persevered until 1955, he couldn't hold on anymore under internal and external pressure, so he could only choose to resign under the pretext of being ill.
That was also the year that the Soviet Union announced the deployment of the first-generation missile defense system, claiming to be capable of intercepting US intercontinental missiles and medium-range missiles, which made the Americans, who had just caught up in the nuclear race, immediately anxious and immediately announced that they would immediately launch a similar missile defense system.
Anyway, since 1955, the pressure on the United States has been increasing, as a large amount of money has been consumed in those invisible projects, its conventional power is gradually shrinking, and the only reason for the Americans to hold on is that they think that the Soviet economy is worse and consumes the Russians.
In any case, both Churchill and Eisenhower held this view at the time, saying in the 50s that the Soviet Union would collapse in the 60s, and then claiming that the Soviet Union would only last until 70 years at best. Anyway, it's the last time to revise again and again, and there is always no accurate number.
But it didn't matter, because Churchill always believed that this day would come, especially when he heard that Li Xiaofeng had decided to officially retire in 1965, and he thought that this day would definitely not be too far away.
He wrote in his diary: "Andrey. Petrovich is leaving, without him, the Soviet Union is a toothless tiger, a new round of power struggle will soon unfold within the CPSU, and internal friction will consume most of the Soviet Union's energy. For the people. This is the great news of the main civilized world! ”
It was the night of January 23, 1965, and after writing this diary, the old prime minister washed and slept as usual, but what he didn't expect was that he would never wake up again......
On January 24, 1965, Churchill did not expect the death of the Soviet Union, but first ushered in his own death. This has to be said to be a great irony. Churchill finally died, and there was one less enemy of the Soviet people, and that year the Soviet people celebrated the sixty-fifth birthday of the great leader, Comrade Andrei, and hoped that he would live forever......
