Chapter 365 The lion opens his mouth (fourth update, please subscribe)
What is the root cause of the territorial sea being too small?
Of course the territory is too small. Since the territory is small, it must be expanded.
However, the world after World War II was completely different from before the war. Chi Guoguo's territory expanded and almost completely disappeared from the world.
Well, except for Palestinian Sania.
However, almost no one cares about Israel now. Even his ambassador cried at the United Nations and complained that on the day of its establishment, the Arab coalition gathered nearly 50,000 troops to launch an invasion and occupied a large area of its land. So what?
No one paid attention to the cry of the Israeli ambassador. For example, the United Kingdom not only did not object, but even claimed to continue to provide aid to Arab countries. After all, he is dissatisfied with returning the mandate to the United Nations, and even opposes the partition of Palestine. After all, he has special interests in the Middle East, including Iraq, Kuwait, and Jordan, and he supports the Jews... What are the benefits? .
But in the end, the United States and Russia demanded an immediate vote from the Security Council, accused Arab countries of launching an attack, and asked them to stop their actions, thus promoting the ceasefire. Now Israel is doing everything possible to arm itself.
......
London, no matter how Britain declines, it is the center of the empire.
It is filled with people from all over the world, some from other countries and some from colonies. All kinds of people live here and it seems that they can all find their own living space.
Of course, there is also a group of Jews living in London. They live in the East End of London. Like all Jews, most of them make a living through business. Although businessmen are burdened with high taxes now as during the war, compared with their compatriots in mainland France, they are undoubtedly lucky. At least they only paid money and were not sent to concentration camps or turned into soap.
There are also some Jewish restaurants here. As usual, after getting up, he bought a newspaper from the newsstand on the street, and then Arthur took the newspaper to Jacob's restaurant.
"Same as usual."
When Arthur just sat down, a man walked up to him.
"Hello, Mr. Arthur, can I sit down? We can have breakfast together and talk about something that interests both of us."
What comes into view is a Chinese man. As a businessman, Arthur can clearly tell the difference between East Asians. The Japanese are too short and the Southeast Asians are too dark. This person must be Chinese.
"Please take a seat."
In fact, the other party has already sat down.
"Mr. Arthur."
After sitting down, Lin Guodong said,
"I know, you have been buying some special products recently,"
The other party's words stunned Arthur, he picked up the coffee cup, said.
"I don't know what you are talking about? I am just an ordinary businessman, doing an ordinary business."
Shrugging his shoulders, Lin Guodong said softly:
< br>
"Yes, it's just business, so I came here to discuss a business with you."
Through the information provided by the intelligence department, Lin Guodong learned that the guy in front of him was a key member of the Zionist Organization. In the past three years, while they have organized immigration to Palestine, they have also been secretly purchasing weapons. Especially after the United Nations agreed to partition last year, they increased their purchasing efforts.
"Oh? Really?"
Arthur asked.
“What business.”
"The business you are interested in."
While speaking, Lin Guodong handed him a list and said.
"Maybe it's the first time we've met, but for some reason I think you won't refuse."
Arthur looked at the Chinese in front of him again.
"Who does he represent?" he thought, "He came to the door like this, who does he represent?"
In the past few months, he has come into contact with many arms dealers. Some of those arms dealers are individuals or represent certain countries. In short, there are all kinds of people.
But, who does he represent?
But Arthur did not dwell on this. He clearly remembered that drizzly day. The local newspaper published the news that "Britain handed over the Palestinian issue to the United Nations". On that day, they shouted and cried excitedly. Although the United Nations had not made a resolution at that time, they knew that their country was about to be born. Months later, the United Nations passed Resolution 181 - dividing Palestine into two independent states, one a Palestinian Arab state and the other a Jewish state.
Resolutions in black and white.
It seems that the future of the Jewish state has been confirmed, but Arthur and the others know very well what the Jewish state will face in the future - an attack from Arabia, which they have firmly opposed from the beginning.
Therefore, it was from that time that Arthur and the others began to raise funds, purchase weapons, and smuggle weapons to Palestine in order to be ready before the end of the British Mandate.
However, they are not a country and can only purchase weapons through the black market. What is on the black market?
Only small arms.
After taking the list, Arthur glanced at it and said in surprise.
"What...this, this...are you sure?"
"Of course," the other party's surprise was already expected by Lin Guodong,
"Otherwise, how could I come to you?"
"Sir, Including airplanes? "
Arthur was so surprised because there were not only small weapons such as pistols and rifles on the list, but also weapons such as airplanes and tanks.
Aircraft and tanks are exactly what they need. They urgently need weapons, tanks, armored vehicles, ammunition, and military aircraft to defend the country that was invaded just after its birth.
But neither the United States nor the United Kingdom sympathizes with them. The United States strictly maintains neutrality and restricts the import of weapons into the warring areas. As for the British government, its attitude is even more unfriendly. Not only are they not sympathetic to Israel's situation, they even express sympathy to Arab countries. Provide tanks, aircraft and artillery and help them train their armies.
Only the Czech Republic opened its doors to them - with the consent of the Russians, they obtained a large amount of small arms, field artillery, bombs and explosives from the Czech Republic.
But they also need planes, real fighter jets.
“Yes, as long as the price is right, I can provide everything on the list.”
As long as the price is right!
"As long as it is a weapon on the list, can we provide it? Including aircraft and tanks?"
Arthur asked.
“Of course.”
“When can you deliver the goods?”
Arthur looked at the other person and asked:
"I may need you to deliver it as soon as possible."
"There is no problem, but..."
Lin Guodong looked at him and said ,
"Are you sure you don't need training if you buy these weapons? We can provide a full set of services including training, of course, this requires additional money."
When you are with Jews, you don’t need to talk about feelings, you only need to talk about money. For Jews, this is what they are most familiar with.
"I understand."
Arthur nodded and asked.
“How much does a Messerschmitt BF109 fighter jet cost?”
Lin Guodong held out two fingers.
"Twenty thousand dollars?"
The price seems very reasonable, the P51 fighter jet sold in the United States is only 4,000 dollars. But this is a black market, and it is normal to increase it several times. As Jews, Arthur and the others know this very well.
"No, including the corresponding ammunition and pilot training, two hundred thousand dollars, one aircraft!"
What!
Arthur opened his eyes suddenly and couldn't believe his ears.
"Two hundred thousand dollars! My God, you are just talking like a lion!"
This is no longer a lion talking, but blackmail!
It's blackmail, it's...
"That's right."
Lin Guodong smiled and said.
"The price is very expensive, but you can consider it."
As he stood up to leave, Lin Guodong handed the other party a business card and said.
"Mr. Arthur, wait until you think about it before contacting me. However, I will be abroad in the past two days. At that time, you can contact my secretary."
Say that. , Lin Guodong left the restaurant, and while waiting for a taxi on the roadside, he lit a cigarette. As soon as he took a puff, he heard someone shouting loudly from the grocery store on the roadside.
"Hey, have you heard? The Russians have blocked Berlin and Americans are not allowed to enter Berlin."
"What?"
"Are the Russians crazy? Aren't they afraid of a world war?"
"Is it true?"
"The latest news on the radio . ”
For a while, people on the roadside crowded in front of the radio and listened to the news coming from the radio.
