Chapter 1028 1029 The price of power
Inside an old building, where candles are lit and fill the hall, this is a sacred place that is remembered for the countless miracles that were born. And on this day, under the gaze of countless people, the great ceremony is going on.
"Today, I'm standing here to announce something important. We have waited for this day for so long that we have forgotten the concept of time. Our fathers, our ancestors, have been working this path, but they have not succeeded, fortunately, we have succeeded!" Under the countless flashing lights, the old man who gave the speech was impassioned, and he seemed to have used all the remaining strength of this life to prepare for this speech, so every sentence, every word was so sonorous and powerful.
"God bless all Jews, today we have finally got our own land here! Gentlemen, this will be the homeland of all Jews in the world, and this will be the only country in the world where Jews are truly dominant!" The old man standing on the stage was Enrique, the old man who had been working hard for the founding of the Jewish state, and today he finally stood on the podium and said the bold words that he had always expected to say in front of countless reporters and spectators.
No matter how tortuous the process was, in the end he fulfilled this wish, and the Jews were no longer duckweed without roots, and the Jews would no longer be bullied under the fence! God knows how much effort he put into this day, and thank God that all his efforts were rewarded at this moment.
"From this moment on, the Jewish nation will become a great nation standing in the world like the Great German nation! May the friendship between the two nations endure, may the friendship between the two nations endure, and may the world finally move towards peace!" Enrique continued his speech, and the applause from the audience continued from beginning to end.
The only thing that displeased these Jews was that they had prepared so hastily that at their founding ceremony, it was a group of Wehrmacht soldiers in German uniforms who kept order. This was also a helpless choice, after all, the Jews did not have their own armament, and even if there were some temporary guards, it was impossible to transport them all to distant Jerusalem in a short time.
So they could only decorate their façade with German soldiers from the front, because the other option, the Italian army, was far from in appearance. As for why the Jewish state was proclaimed so hastily, it was because these Jews who did business in their bones knew the simple truth that if it was too late, it would change.
As the speech said, for too long, for too long, the Jews were left to survive under the wings of others. They wanted to take their fate into their own hands so much, and now that they had such an opportunity, they really didn't want this opportunity to slip away. It is precisely because of this that they are anxious, and they prefer to be simpler, but also to complete the matter of building the country as soon as possible and turn it into a fait accompli.
"The new name of the country was discussed, and the unanimous choice was made of 'Israel', the name of the Jewish ancestors. At this point, Enrique had to be interrupted by the applause and cheers from the audience again, and the compatriots below had waited too long for this moment, so it was no wonder that they cheered like children.
"Israel!" "Israel!" everyone cheered one after another, they seemed to have forgotten that Enrique had not yet completed his declaration, and they only cared about cheering over and over again the name, as if this name was the soul of everyone here today.
......
At the same time, in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia in the Middle East, Ibn Saud sat alone in a room with a few of his aides, and the atmosphere was extremely lonely, at least on the face of His Majesty the King, who ruled the whole of Saudi Arabia, was full of concern about the current situation.
When he was only a leader of the armed forces of the region in the barren desert, the envoys of Accardo approached him with kindness, guns and ammunition, and the German funding allowed him to establish his advantage in the Middle East more quickly, and in one fell swoop he defeated other opponents and became the king of the region.
This was followed by greater sincerity from the German emissaries. With the covert support of Germany, Saudi Arabia and Britain drew a line and became the first independent state in the Middle East to break away from the rule of the British Empire. This kindness was not insignificant, and it also raised Ibn Saud's favorability toward Germany to a new height.
With the help of Acardo, a German friend he had never met, Saudi Arabia's good fortune seemed to have no end in sight. German engineers and geologists discovered a large amount of oil reserves in Saudi Arabia, and the result of the resource allocation was a huge influx of money into Saudi Arabia, making it the most prosperous place in the entire Middle East.
Just when Ibn Saud was full of ambition and ready to dominate the Middle East after becoming strong, Britain and the Americans kicked Saudi benefactor Germany out of the Middle East sphere of interests. The greedy capitalists not only carved up Germany's share of oil, but even the French took their share afterwards.
This time the benefits were distributed again and again, but Saudi Arabia itself did not get much benefit. Since the Germans left the Middle East, the country's good days seem to have come to an end, not only because the Saudi government has been held hostage by the foreign powers, but also because sometimes it is unable to make its own judgment.
When the Germans were expelled, the Saudis did not say a word for this ally, which originally left some regret for His Majesty the King Ibn Saud, but when the Germans returned to the Middle East again, the regret turned into a panic.
Because this time, the Germans are clearly not back to do business. Their planes have made the advanced fighters of the United States dare not take off for battle, and their tanks have made the indestructible tanks of the United States dare not drive to the front line, and these Germans are no longer slaughtered as when they left, but are as vicious as ghosts crawling back from hell.
"We have not fulfilled our obligations as allies, so the Germans are no longer our friends. Ibn Saud sat on his high-end sofa and looked much older: "When they were at a disadvantage, we chose to ignore them, and we don't have to regret their attitude towards us today." ”
"However, this time they have gone too far! They have even supported the establishment of a state by those Jews in our sphere of influence! This is something we cannot tolerate!" a Saudi minister complained angrily: "It was the Americans and the British who drove them out, and they had nothing to do with us......
Does it really matter? Not at all. The Germans' oil in the Middle East was divided between Britain and the United States, and if Saudi Arabia did not fully cooperate with this local snake, then Saudi Arabia could have saved a lot of shady oil quotas for Germany by receiving various loopholes in oil production capacity -- but unfortunately Saudi Arabia did not do this, but directly ruined all the efforts of the Germans. So as the minister spoke, his voice went down involuntarily.
Ibn Saud rubbed his aching temples and sighed helplessly. The current situation in the Middle East is very unfavorable for Britain and the United States, which are losing one after another. For him, the Saudi king, it is not a good word, the Germans are obviously coming back for oil resources, and the attitude towards the locals is good or bad depends on the mood of the people.
"The British and Americans are for oil resources, and now in order not to leave resources for the Germans, they are also destroying equipment in the territory...... These are our bargaining chips, and if they are all destroyed, what are we going to bargain with the Germans?" one of the ministers worriedly suggested to Ibn Saud: "We must hold some of the oil resources in the palm of our own hands, otherwise the Germans will really drive out the British and the Americans, and we will be in danger." ”
His Majesty the King of Saudi Arabia let out another long sigh and complained helplessly: "Damn it! Germans, Italians, Americans, and British...... Why is it that there is not one of so many countries who really makes friends with us Arabs?"
......
When Mr. Enrique stepped down from the podium, the German envoy was waiting for him in the side hall where he was resting. Waiting for Enrique with the German envoy were a dozen or so Jewish super-rich and industrial tycoons who regularly appeared in economic newspapers in Germany. Seeing the old man, who was almost exhausted, walked into the house with the help of his assistant, everyone stood up and applauded with a smile.
"Thank you, thanks to the Führer's support, although we cannot immediately join the Axis powers, we can import a lot of oil and other resources from the Middle East as a neutral country. Enrique smiled and sat down on a couch, then turned his gaze to the various papers on the table.
"Germany is really a country that values efficiency. Enrique looked at Mr. Envoy from Germany with a look of disdain. Of course, he knew what the documents were, they had been agreed upon between him and Accardo for a long time, but it took a lot of courage to sign them, at least for him personally, and there was not a lot of things to give up.
"Israel is also a country that values efficiency, isn't it?" the German envoy asked with a smile, the guards outside the door were all Wehrmacht, and of course he had his own pride and proud capital.
Sure enough, Enrique and the Jewish tycoons didn't talk any more nonsense, and began to sign thick papers, and from then on they would have nothing in Germany, and in exchange for their power in the country of Israel - monstrous power -
Today, Long Ling didn't make up for it, and stayed up until one o'clock in the morning, and his body couldn't bear it. However, the dragon spirit will make up for the two changes owed to you as soon as possible, thank you for your waiting and support!
