In the previous chapter, Nasser's ambitions were discussed in all respects, and he had to deal with Israel, and he did not lack an excuse to do so, because at this time there was a serious border dispute between Israel and Egypt. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the victory of the Israeli War of Independence, the IDF fought all the way west against the British forces that supported the Arab League, and won several successive victories in the Sinai Peninsula, in fact, occupying more than half of the Sinai Peninsula.

And the next step, whether it is the fall of Britain in Egypt or the takeover of the Americans, can make Israel spit out the fat of the Sinai Peninsula. The Egyptian army is in a military standoff with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on the front line of the Sinai Peninsula, and from time to time there are some minor frictions between the two sides, and an average of several people have died every month in recent years.

And this gave Nasser ample reason, in his opinion, to regain his homeland is reasonable and legitimate, of course, it would be better if he could easily destroy Israel in addition to recovering his homeland. Therefore, from the beginning of his coming to power, Nasser actively reorganized the army, hired American military advisers, purchased and received a lot of military aid from the United States, formed three new American armored divisions, and developed a decent air force.

After this preparation, Nasser felt that the time was ripe, but he did not dare to act rashly, because the Middle East problem is not something that can be calculated by Middle Eastern countries, and when it comes to Israel, it will involve the Soviet Union, and when it comes to Egypt, it will also affect the United States. If he wants to do anything against Israel, he must consult the United States anyway.

I have to say that Nasser's luck is really good, because at this time, Truman was overwhelmed by the Bay of Pigs incident, and urgently needed a major event that could divert attention to solve the siege, and Nasser sent it to the door, which should be said to make Truman very happy.

In Truman's view, if there is a military conflict between Egypt and Israel, then the focus of the world will shift, and who cares about the Bay of Pigs incident at that time, or it is better to see the Arabs tearing apart the Jews. Moreover, Truman also felt that even if Egypt and Israel started fighting, it would not cause a third world war, it was only a local conflict, and in the end, as long as the brakes were in the hands of the United States, it would be a calm retreat.

With this in mind, Truman quickly acquiesced in Nasser's plan of action, and of course he neither agreed nor opposed, which was necessary for political correctness. Truman really didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the Bay of Pigs incident.

At the end of his visit to the United States, Nasser was also very confident after obtaining a relatively optimistic result. Upon his return to Egypt, he immediately mobilized to bring Israel to the table in one fell swoop.

Let's look again at Israel's reaction. In the Old Testament, it is said that Israel is a land flowing with milk and honey. But most of these words are unreliable, probably because God and his old man deceived the Israelites. From the point of view of geography and political history, Israel is a land of blood and tears. The land here is not fertile, and it is not suitable for farming, so it can be said that it is a barren land similar to the Gobi. The earliest Jews were afraid that their farming skills were not developed, and they lived a nomadic life, and even felt that nomads had a higher status than agricultural people.

This is not a fool's errand, but the same can be seen from the "Old Testament", such as the famous story of Cain and Abel, Cain is a farmer, and Abel is a shepherd, when sacrificing to God, the old man prefers to eat meat, so he chose Abel's lamb instead of Cain's "vegetarian dish". Not only this case, but later Jesus Christ was also a shepherd, and from a sociological point of view, the shepherd symbolizes the right to govern and rule, and is a symbol of the superior.

Of course, this is a bit of a stretch, because from a historical point of view, the ancestors of the Jews did not immediately go to the Promised Land of Israel after Moses escaped from Egypt, but wandered for many years in the wilderness of the Sinai Peninsula, during which the Jews lived a nomadic life. In fact, Moses himself did not go to the Promised Land, and it was Moses' assistant Joshua who led the Jews to take the Promised Land in accordance with Moses' instructions.

However, when the Jews arrived in the Promised Land, they also began to change, from nomadic to agrarian and sedentary life, and during that time the Jews' farming skills were very high. But the Romans ruined it all, and the Jews were left in exile for more than 2,000 years until they seized the opportunity to return to the Promised Land after the victory in World War II.

The Jews are still very strong in this regard, even if they suffered great difficulties in World War II and were almost exterminated, but once they returned to Palestine, they burst out with a completely different fighting force from the Arabs before them. The Jews who re-entered Palestine were prepared to come again, assiduously learning agricultural techniques and how to survive in harsh conditions, draining and clearing land in the swamps off the coast of Palestine, and sowing seeds and greening the desert in Negev. They are very united and meticulous in their division of labor, taking turns to do the hard work and dirty work, even the management. They rose at sunrise and rested at sunset, diligently changing this barren land slowly.

In this respect, the Jews are really much better than the Arabs who have occupied Palestine since the time of Muhammad, and Palestine has remained unchanged in the hands of the Arabs for more than a thousand years. Teaching conflicts, there really is no development. For the Arabs, they are more concerned about the Zodiac. It is a question of religion and tradition, not of development.

The Jews were well aware that people without long-term worries must have near-term worries, and they did not relax in re-establishing their own country in the Promised Land, because the neighbors around them were really out of place. While resuming production on the one hand, the Jews did not relax their armament build-up. Here we have to mention the name of a man, and he is called Iguel. Aden, I'm afraid many comrades have never heard of this person, and most comrades have heard more about Dayan and Sharon, but this Aden is also very powerful, and his qualifications are much older than the previous two.

Historically, after the establishment of the State of Israel, the First Middle East War broke out. Israel was not the one that could later smash the Arab League. The Jews, who had just survived the Holocaust, were weak, and the IDF was a complete rabble.

Because most of the IDF soldiers were inexperienced, the Jews had to go from general to general, handing over the post of IDF chief of staff (de facto supreme military commander) to an American-born Jew, David Brown. Max. Marcos, a highly educated West Point graduate and a colonel in the U.S. Army, seems to be a high-ranking military talent.

But the fact is that this appointment is not very clever, because although this Colonel Marcos has a high degree and a military rank, he really has never been on the battlefield, and only served in the civilian department of the US army in World War II, and has no command experience at all. It's just that Israel was really short of people at that time, and Colonel Marcos himself was a hardcore Zionist, and after all, this man had received special military training, which was much better than those half-.

The reason why this appointment is not clever is not only because of the above reasons, but because this Colonel Marcos is an out-and-out coffee table, because he was born in the United States, so he can't speak a word of Hebrew, and one night he couldn't sleep idlely, so he learned to "make a private visit" like a big man, and ended up running into a sentry. And the sentry was a native of Palestine, so he naturally asked Colonel Marcos for the password in Hebrew, but poor Colonel Marcos didn't understand half of Hebrew, so naturally he couldn't answer, so he was directly hung up by the sentry with a headshot.

Poor Colonel Marcos ended his career as Chief of the General Staff, but it was a good thing for him and for Israel, and the next Chief of the General Staff was Yakov. Dori, but this Dori is a sick man, he was so sick during the outbreak of the first Middle East war that he had no way to command the troops, so he could only let his deputy, who was the Iguel in front. Aden to preside over the big picture.

Aden is a native of Israel, the son of a well-known archaeologist and educator father and a prominent feminist mother. Aden joined Haganer at the age of 15, oh, by the way, there may be comrades who don't know what Haganer is, and the history of this thing is going to start all over again.

After the Balfour Declaration, a large number of Jews began to return to Palestine with their families, which greatly increased the wariness and hostility of the Arabs, and began to fear that the Jews were anti-Hakti, so the conflict between Jews and Arabs began to intensify. At that time, the Zionists had a wrong course of action, and from the very beginning they set their sights on great power politics, and were ready to use lobbying and kneeling to make the big hooligans raise their noble hands to give the Jews a way out, while they ignored the interests of the Jews who had settled in Palestine (to put it mildly, they didn't care whether they lived or died), which gave birth to the famous saying that a landless people has come to a land without a master. So the Jews who settled in Palestine had to find their own way to solve the security problem, and they had to take up arms to form a self-defense force, and this was the predecessor of Haganer (Hagner actually means self-defense forces).

Because of the constant vacillation of British policy in Palestine, sometimes leaning towards Jews and sometimes Arabs, Hagner developed fairly well throughout the twenties and thirties, and by the end of the thirties, Hagner had developed from the original Jewish village self-defense force into a real military organization, with a strength of about 12,000 troops.

And this Haganer organization became the predecessor of the Israel Defense Forces, and it can be said that most of the senior officers after the establishment of the State of Israel have a Haganer background. For example, the famous Dayan, the assassinated Rabin, Barev who was in charge of building the defense line of the Suez Canal, Elazar who participated in the October War in 1973, Gul who was in charge of the rescue at Emped airport, Eitan who invaded Lebanon in 1982, and more special is the salon of Ganard, the children's group of Hagner, who did not have the opportunity to join Hagner.

What is more interesting is that although Hagner's political proposition is to adhere to Zionism, his attitude towards Britain and Arabia is one of struggle and compromise, resolutely fighting to promote the establishment of Israel and helping Jewish immigrants, and he also advocates cooperation with Britain and other big Middle East hooligans in resisting Arab "terrorists" and maintaining Israeli social stability. Hagner advocated justification and restraint in provocations against the Arabs, and did not advocate brutal retaliation and initiative.

Hagner's "restraint" style was firmly opposed by the right-wing Zionists, who demanded to take the initiative against the British occupation forces and Arab bandits. This group of rightists split from Haganer in 1931 and established their own armed force, Irgun (meaning national military organization). Even more bizarre is the fact that in 1941 the more extreme of the Irgun split again under Stern's leadership and formed the Lehai (meaning Israeli freedom fighters), which historically even cooperated with Nazi Germany to drive Britain out of Palestine.

Because the Lehai organization is too strange and its reputation among the Jews is also quite bad, Hagner once cooperated with the British to encircle and suppress the Lehai organization. But when the war broke out for the establishment of Israel, Hagner, Irgon, and Lehai all united and fought side by side.

And the Aden we mentioned earlier is the core force in Hagner, but this is the same as Hagner's chief of staff Yitzhak. Sade clashed, and in a fit of rage, he quit Haganer and went to college instead. On the eve of the outbreak of the war for the founding of Israel in history, Ben. Gurion personally went to recruit Aden and appointed him Chief of Operations and Deputy Chief of the General Staff, in effect the supreme commander of the army.

It should be said that Aden's performance in the Israeli War of Independence was still very good, but this benevolent brother's temper was quite big, and in 1952 he actually fought with Ben-Gurion over disarmament issues, and in a fit of rage, this provoking man once again quit. Note that Aden was only 35 years old at the time, and after retiring from the army, he continued his father's work in archaeological research, completing his doctoral dissertation in 1956, translating into modern languages the sensational discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, which was crucial to the study of the Bible and early Jewish history. He led many important archaeological developments and fought resolutely against the despicable appropriation of archaeological artifacts by high-ranking officials in the government and the military. It is said that once Moses. Dayan also rolled in, to which Aden roared angrily: "I know who did it, but I won't say, if I catch it, I'll rip out his other eye!" (To be continued.) )
