It is a well-known fact that Britain's leader in the world wars was Churchill. Churchill was a big punch to all countries except the United States.

Hence the fact that the amount of US aid to the UK is far less than the amount of UK aid to all anti-German countries. The UK aid to the Soviet Union exceeds 1.1 billion pounds, and the exchange rate between the pound and the dollar is one to four.

The US aid to the UK, through the operation of the Lend-Lease Act, has actually been exchanged for US$8 billion in British assets in the US. I don't know if the Americans have made a profit, but they certainly have not lost.

During the World War, Churchill led Britain more than just aided the Soviet Union?

After the Second World War, until Churchill stepped down, in order to maintain the stability of the Middle East, the United Kingdom spent a lot of energy supporting the Arab League to meet the requirements of Britain's own strategic defense.

In this context, a month before Germany's surrender, representatives of Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Transjordan, and Yemen held a signing ceremony in Cairo to form the Arab League.

The Arab League, which was also supported by the United Kingdom, held a meeting in Beirut and decided to send the Arab League's army to Palestine after the British retreated.

After all, Britain spent a lot of money when the Arab League was established, and it certainly has prestige in the Arab world now.

However, the Arab League is not very united, and there are sharp contradictions within it due to long-term discord and competition for leadership. The two biggest political rivals are King Abdullah of Transjordan and the Iraqi royal family.

King Abdullah dreamed of a "Greater Syria" consisting of Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Transjordan and Palestine. Another figure on this stage is King Farouk of Egypt. Although he is regarded by all sides as the leader of the Arab world, he is opposed by Iraq. Iraq has always believed that only it is the leader of the Arab world.

It can be seen that in this era, Iraqis already feel that only they can lead the Arab world, and it is not a problem that appeared after Saddam came to power.

Originally, the Israeli-Palestinian war had little to do with the United Kingdom. According to the historical trend, there will be a series of unknown enemy situations. For example, Israel has always judged that the three kingdoms dominated by Egypt, Jordan and Iraq, plus the support of troops from other Arab countries, once The war begins with Israel facing at least 150,000 Arab troops.

But in fact, before the second ceasefire, the Arab coalition was less than 50,000 people. Originally, for both Israel and the Arabs, the first Middle East war was a war with little technical content, just following the feeling in the dark.

But Alan Wilson saw that this was no good. It was similar to boxing with his eyes closed. The trend of the war had to be kept open and transparent. The Arabs did not know how many people there were in Israel, and he leaked the population of Israel.

Subsequently, the open and transparent Israeli population information was used to stimulate the Arab League to pile up the number, thus realizing Israel's original desire of 150,000 Arab troops, and even exceeding the expectations of the Israelis.

He does not need the thanks of the Israelis for this kind of thing. After all, it is a modern society. It is extremely important to maintain the transparency of the war. The United Kingdom has not left any officers, but has completed the freedom of information work. , both have a clear understanding of the cards in each other's hands.

Although the Chief Executive of Newfoundland is not a soldier, he has also done some drills for information warfare, so that his father-in-law Mountbatten, who is near Egypt, understands the importance of information warfare.

After all, he was his daughter's fiancé. General Mountbatten was serving in the Mediterranean, so he told Alan Wilson what he had learned. He said that although the number was enough, the composition of the Arab coalition was questionable. Compared with the previous 50,000 Arab coalition, the newly added The hundreds of thousands of troops were all mobilized, and it is hard to say whether they have combat effectiveness.

Alan Wilson sighed bitterly. It seems that everything is not easy to say. The only advantage of the Arab League is that the Arab League can afford to die.

If Daying Long Aotian's statement is correct, Alan Wilson is actually still a little pessimistic.

However, he still did not know that in Amman, the capital of Jordan, the Arab coalition had drawn up a joint operation plan. This was not the case in the first Middle East war.

According to this battle plan, the Arab armies of Egypt, Lebanon and Syria oppressed and contained the Israeli army from the south and north respectively, and the Iraqi army and the Arab army cooperated to cross the Jordan River and attack Haifa.

Two divisions of the Egyptian army attacked Israel. These included armoured units equipped with Cromwell and Crusader cruise tanks, five infantry battalions, a machine gun company, and an artillery regiment. In addition, there are fifteen Spitfires for direct aviation fire support. Its deployment and objectives are: to advance along the coastal road with a reinforced brigade to occupy Tel Aviv; the main force to attack the interior and occupy Jerusalem.

The Cromwell cruiser tank was one of the important tanks produced by Britain during World War II.

It played an important role in the Normandy landing operations. It is a tank that uses aero-engines and reduces the power. The most commendable thing is its maneuverability.

At least in the field of engines, the United Kingdom is no worse than any other country. The engine of the Cromwell cruise tank, the Meteor engine carrying system with good engine extraction efficiency, has excellent sports performance, and the Meteor engine is reliable and durable, and maintenance is not difficult. Therefore, this type of chariot is deeply loved by chariot soldiers.

Although the Crusader cruise tank is inferior, it is also a tank that the British army has equipped in large quantities. Although there are less than forty tanks of the two types of tanks combined, they can be regarded as well-trained.

The Syrian army in the north attacked with two mechanized brigades, the main direction of which was directed towards the southern end of Lake Tiberias, and the armed forces of Lebanon were also under the command of Syria.

In the east is the Iraqi and Jordanian coalition forces. The Iraqi army is also accompanied by the Kingdom Guard composed of Christians. The two discordant royal families in the east have formed the largest group, together with the local Palestinian armed forces, with a total of nearly 100,000 people.

Although the Iraqi royal family and the Jordanian royal family are one family, the two relatives also do compete for leadership of the Arab League, and then the two armies are combined to form the largest bloc in eastern Israel.

As for the Persian Gulf countries that did not seem to have participated in the war, they also participated in this war, but the forces they sent were relatively coping. Take Saudi Arabia, for example, the two battalions sent to obey the dispatch of the Egyptian army.

From this joint operation plan, it is easy to see that in the current Arab world, Saudi Arabia actually has no right to speak, and thinks that it has strength. The countries that count are Egypt, Jordan and Iraq, and even Syria is almost meaningless .

Alan Wilson would not take comfort in knowing the plan, because the battle plan is so clear because Israel has it and has made targeted deployments.

Now Israel still warmly welcomes the United States to send peacekeeping troops to the United Nations, but because the Arab coalition forces are increasing in strength, even if they are deployed by the Arab coalition forces, they are a little unsure.

Ben Gurion's envoy met Truman in Washington, but not Marshall, who was opposed to Israel's independence and was considered anti-Israel by Jews.

Truman has been quite busy recently. At the Philadelphia Democratic Party Convention, Truman took advantage of the divisions in the party and adopted various strategies to break down, so that his cronies controlled the Democratic Party ****, and divided and attracted his opponents in the party - Wallace supporters.

After a difficult mediation, Truman narrowly won the presidential nomination, but almost all Democrats believe he can't win the election at all.

Now Truman is preparing to launch a national speaking tour to take on Dewey, a Republican who has been praised by the national media.

Truman actually criticized Jews in his early years, but today is different. Like the Soviet Union, the United States and the Soviet Union want to use Israel to leverage the perennial operations of Britain and France in the Middle East.

The emergence of Israel was the result of Truman's great efforts. Hearing the difficulties expressed by the special envoy Ben Gurion, Truman said, "In principle, both the United States and the Soviet Union support the Jews, a suffering nation, to have a homeland of their own. Use the British proposal for the war in Kashmir ~lightnovelpub.net~ to establish a peacekeeping force to end the war."

"That's so thankful, honorable president." Ben Gurion's special envoy was overjoyed. With the support of the United States and the Soviet Union, Israel has the determination to fight hard.

"Of course it's better not to do this, if you win on the battlefield yourself. A lot of trouble can be avoided. Of course, a decision has to be made. The United States will be ready to stop the war in the name of the United Nations in the name of the United Nations when Israel encounters difficulties. "

"Of course, the Republican Party has always taken an isolationist stance, and once Dewey becomes president, it may give up support for Israel." Truman, who was anxious to campaign, was still very busy, and only had a few words with Ben Gurion's special envoy, indicating that The attitude of the United States puts an end to this topic.

The second ceasefire period ends on October 15, and the countries participating in the war, as well as the supporters behind them, are constantly collaborating. During the second discussion on the proposal to set up a peacekeeping force, the Indian representative reiterated India's position, saying that Prime Minister Nehru firmly refused to allow peacekeeping troops to enter Kashmir.

This group of newly independent Indian leaders knows the British way too well. Once the peacekeepers enter Kashmir, it is absolutely impossible for Kashmir to remain within the territory of India.
