Struggle in Soviet Russia

Chapter 635: United Kingdom and United States

Of course, on the surface, neither the World Jewish Congress nor Ben Gurion, who seeks Jewish statehood in Palestine, do not support extreme right-wing violent groups such as "Irgun". Violence and terror do nothing to solve real problems, and the cause of Jewish statehood can only be hoped for through negotiation and the efforts of Jews all over the world.

In fact, the Zionist group led by Ben Gurion did have a contradiction with the "Irgon" organization, but this contradiction was not because the latter resorted to violence to seek statehood, but because "Irgon" He refused to accept the leadership of Ben Gurion's faction. In addition, Ben Gurion himself also had a military organization that frequently instigated terrorist attacks, that is, "Hagana", which was the predecessor of the Israel Defense Forces. However, in the recent period, the "Irgun" organization seems to have a tendency to move closer to the Ben Gurion camp, and this reality makes London sleepless.

The uproar of the Zionists in the Middle East is just one of the recent troubles facing the British. In their country, in addition to the increasingly rampant far-right Jewish organizations, there is an equally violent institution that is gradually Increasing its activities and attempting to expand its influence further, the violent institution is seeking to unite with far-right Zionist groups like Irgun to instigate a larger and more nefarious campaign within the UK Terrorist activities.

This organization, like the "Irgon" organization, is also threatening the national security of the United Kingdom. It is the famous "Irish Republican Army".

In the two decades after the end of the tragic Irish Civil War, this organization, which once gave London a headache, has begun to come out and carry out frequent activities, but hidden behind it is an organization that everyone in the UK feels very much. The lost reality is that the empire on which the sun never sets, which once shook the whole world, is declining at an extremely fast rate. The huge territory of the country it has built in this half-year time has come to disintegrate.

As if to prove this reality, in recent months, the largest and most solid colony on the empire's territory has been clamoring for independence. This colony is India in South Asia.

Of course, compared to when the war just ended, India's problems seem to be getting more difficult, because at the end of last year, the "All India Muslim League" led by Muhammad Ali Jinnah passed legislation in India's central In the election of the conference, he won all the seats that should be occupied by Muslims in one fell swoop, fully possessing the strength to compete with the Congress party led by Nehru.

You know, just twenty short years ago, Jinnah was a member of the Congress Party, and he spent the first half of his life working to unite Muslims and Hindus in India, and to form a joint force to win all India's Independence, its status among Indian Muslims is similar to that of Gandhi among Hindus. It was under his leadership that the "All India Muslim League" was able to completely clean up the pro-British Shafis from the alliance. The "Muslim League" finally stood on the side of the Congress Party.

However, Jinnah was obviously too optimistic on the issue of religion. He underestimated the exclusion of Hindus. The end result was that when the Congress negotiated with the British, the interests of Muslims were completely excluded. Outside, Nehru insisted that in India's cabinet, only members of the Congress party, that is, Hindus, could hold important positions, while Muslims and members of the Muslim League were completely excluded from the regime.

In this way, Jinnah, who felt betrayed by himself, began to choose another path, which is to promote the establishment of a separate country by Muslims. He abandoned the idea of ​​unity between Muslims and Hindus and began to throw off the Congress Party, which represents the interests of Hindus. , and instead seeks to establish a Muslim self-government independent of India.

However, Jinnah's idea naturally did not get support from the Congress party. The Congress party leadership headed by Nehru may not like Muslims, but they also want to control the places where Muslims live. So, they are not just opposed to the new idea proposed by Jinnah, they can even be said to hate it deeply. For this reason, they even arranged for killers to kill Jinnah... Unfortunately, this did not happen. .

Today, the Indians are not only fighting for independence, but also have many internal contradictions. Although this relieves the pressure on London from the Indian peninsula to a certain extent, it disrupts the situation on the Indian peninsula to a greater extent. Don't forget that the entire Indian peninsula is still mired in famine and epidemics at this time, and political instability is tantamount to adding to the difficult situation.

During the war, in order to ensure the supply of materials for its war, London disregarded the widespread failure of India's harvest and levied a large number of grains, thus creating a large-scale famine in the Indian peninsula that killed millions of people. Point out. However, it was during the war after all, and the eyes of the whole world were attracted by the anti-fascist war, and as an important member of the anti-fascist alliance, supporting the British was politically correct. Therefore, when looking at the sins they created , also need to bring a filter.

But the situation is different now, the war is over, the former anti-fascist allies have become today's competitors, both the United States and the Soviet Union are dissatisfied with the British continuing to hold a large number of colonies around the world. London can It is said that it is under the double-team of Washington and Moscow. If at this time, the famine and epidemic in India continue for a long time, leading to the tragedy of millions of deaths, the United Kingdom will immediately become the target of public criticism, and the whole world will be attacked. Criticize it.

Therefore, the British are now desperate to ease the situation on the Indian peninsula, and for this reason, they even make some kind of concessions to those Indians.

Of course, the pressure the British are facing now is not limited to these three aspects, including the influence of the Middle East, North Africa, and Southern Europe. They have been challenged from all sides. Frankly speaking, the British who want to be there are already some Can't handle it.

Taking into account the current situation of the British, and the conflict of interests between the Alliance and the Americans on the Far East issue, at this morning's meeting, Victor, after accepting the questioning, proposed that the Alliance should change its diplomatic stance, from After the war, the initial alliance between the United States and the United States changed to the alliance between the United Kingdom and the United States. The position of the Central International Department is to use such a diplomatic change to put pressure on the Americans and force them to make concessions to the alliance on the issue of the Far East. .

On the issue related to the United Kingdom and the United States, the Central International Department even came up with a detailed plan, which aimed at Saudi Arabia, which is controlled by the United States, to be precise, aimed at Abdul-Arab. The Saudi royal family with Ziz at its core.

As the current king of Saudi Arabia, Aziz is not an ordinary person. When he was in his early twenties, he dared to lead forty cavalry to attack Riyadh. The most important thing is that he even succeeded, and today's Saudi Arabia This country was conquered by him, so he was actually an out-and-out military strongman.

Of course, the best strategy for someone like this is to bribe him and pull him into his own camp, but unfortunately, Aziz himself is notoriously dictatorial and anti-communist, and his resistance and hostility to the alliance are innate , For such a person, the Alliance has no way to deal with him at all.

In addition, this guy has been determined to embrace the thighs of Americans since the 1920s. Back then, he sold the entire Saudi oil exploration rights to the Americans for 35,000 pounds, and waited until the United States After the discovery of oil in Saudi Arabia, he did not hesitate to hand over all the oil exploration rights in Saudi Arabia into the hands of the Americans, but he only asked the Americans for less than 10% of the mining lease fee.

It must be admitted that before the Americans went to Saudi Arabia to extract oil, the entire Saudi Arabia was a hell-like desert made up of sand. Aziz tried to hug the British thighs and publicly admitted that the United Kingdom was the suzerain of Saudi Arabia. The British didn't like him at all, and directly rejected his request. This shows how poor Saudi Arabia was at that time.

Even today, although Saudi Arabia has transferred a lot of money from oil exploration lease fees, the real money is only the royal family. In the entire Saudi Arabia, a large number of tribes are still impoverished.

In the world before Viktor was reborn, Saudi men wore robes, and women were veiled, and each one was really tightly wrapped, but now in Saudi Arabia, men don't have robes, they are basically naked, and women don't either. The veil, there's not much more fabric on the body than men, it's not that the Saudis today don't profess Wahhabi, let alone how open-minded they are, there's only one reason why they don't wear robes and headscarves , that is poor, can't afford so much fabric at all.

In addition, Aziz, as the king, was quite brutal in his internal rule. He implemented a so-called "Istisbach" policy. Any tribe that dared to rebel against him and challenge his authority would be massacred by him. In Saudi Arabia, he is the real dictator, whose degree of dictatorship can be said to be more vicious than any dictator in history.

Of course, things like this, Americans whose mission is to spread democracy, can't see it anyway, and Washington pays more attention to Saudi Arabia than anywhere else, after all, they exist there huge benefit.
