Chapter 1037 This is War (First update, please subscribe)
All in is a kind of wisdom!
However, not everyone has such wisdom. The reason is that the essence of Soha is a showdown of strength, not a battle of wills.

This is especially true between countries. If you don't have sufficient strength, you will definitely pay a price if you go all in rashly.

The Japanese Navy said "Let's do it", and they went all in on the Pacific Ocean, which directly ruined Japan. The mustache said "It's just a broken house", and they went all in on the Eastern Front, which not only ruined the three Germans, but also ruined the ancestral land of the Teutonic Knights - East Prussia, and Königsburg became Kaliningrad.

It is for this reason that Soha is a kind of wisdom.

You win by being a Victoria's Secret model, but you lose by working in a sweatshop.

This kind of gambling is not all-in, but gamble, it is a bet.

Because all-in is always based on specific analysis, rather than blindly following the temptation.

One thing that is certain is that the Soviet Union in November of 1956... was a little too excited!

In order to divert international attention and shift the world's attention away from Hungary, under the instructions of Moscow, its ambassadors abroad sent notes to five countries, namely Washington, London, Chang'an, Paris and Tel Aviv. The contents of the notes were generally the same, with only slight differences in wording, but the meaning was very clear - telling them that the Soviet Union would help Egypt eliminate the invaders and restore world peace.

However, in a note to Tel Aviv, Israeli Prime Minister Ben-Gurion was told directly that Israel's actions "will call into question whether Israel can continue to exist as a state."

Faced with the Soviet Union's warning, Israel simply backed down. Just when Ben-Gurion asked Britain and France for help, Nanyang Ambassador to Tel Aviv Zhong Yuguo walked into the Prime Minister's Office. As soon as the two met, he handed over a note.

“Nanyang is willing to provide a nuclear umbrella for Israel?”

Ben-Gurion looked at Zhong Yuguo in surprise. Facing the Soviet Union's threat of war, Britain resolutely rejected it. As for France, they themselves were afraid of the Soviet threat, but Nanyang... they stood up.

"Yes, Mr. Prime Minister, just like the protection we provided to Yugoslavia, if the Soviet Union launches a nuclear attack on your country, we will launch nuclear missiles to the Soviet Union at the first time. This is our promise to Israel."

Zhong Yuguo straightened his chest and said.

"We believe that major powers should never threaten other non-nuclear countries with nuclear weapons. Mr. Prime Minister, please believe this - Nanyang will always keep its promises to its friends, no matter when!"

Although it seemed that he was making some assurances to Israel, Ben-Gurion still heard his subtext.

In fact, Israel has always had a complicated attitude towards Southeast Asia. On the one hand, Southeast Asia is the only country willing to sell various weapons to Israel. As for Britain, France and other countries, they are all worried that it will irritate the Middle Eastern countries.

Because of this, Israel imported a large number of aircraft, tanks, artillery and other weapons from Southeast Asia. The weapons from Southeast Asia allowed Israel to build a modern army capable of fighting against Arab countries. On the other hand, it was a well-known secret that Southeast Asia sheltered Nazi war criminals.

It's a secret!
Because Nanyang has never admitted it, but the outside world has long reached a consensus on this - Nanyang's rise was largely due to German scientists and technicians. Among the many German immigrants in Nanyang, there must be war criminals. In their air force alone, there were many German war criminals.

Israel has no interest in military war criminals, but it has always been obsessed with the death doctors in concentration camps. They believe that there must be death doctors among the war criminals sheltered in Nanyang. This is the fundamental reason for the rapid improvement of Nanyang's medical level, including the organ transplantation they invented, which is likely to benefit from this.

If it were any other country, Israel would have sent people to carry out secret missions long ago. In fact, they did, but the executors were arrested as spies, which even led to the expulsion of the ambassador and the strained relations between the two countries. Later, in order to obtain weapons, the Israeli officials even had to apologize.

Although an apology was made, it does not mean giving up. After Nanyang tried Japanese war criminals, Israel had planned to take the opportunity to negotiate with Nanyang on this issue, but Nanyang directly denied it.

Now the other party mentioned "promises of friends", Ben Gurion certainly understood what the other party meant - the friends he was talking about were not Israel, but the Germans in Southeast Asia. No, it should be said that they were the war criminals whose hands were stained with the blood of millions of Jews.

Thinking of the threat from the Soviet Union and facing reality, Ben Gurion thought for a while and said.

"Of course, I understand and respect Nanyang's commitment to its promises, and I hope Nanyang can also keep its promises to Israel!"

Any leader will make the right choice when facing a crisis. When Ben-Gurion made this decision, it also meant that from then on, there would be no more Nazi war criminals in Southeast Asia... At least in the official Israeli view, there had never been any Nazi war criminals there.

"Mr. Ambassador, we will continue to fight for our common interests!"

However, not every country is like Israel, facing a survival crisis. Ben-Gurion and others knew very well that they had to defeat Egypt in order to ensure Israel's survival.

But Britain and France were different. They started the war for the benefit of the canal. Although the canal brought in $100 million in revenue each year, which was extremely important to Britain and France, they almost immediately backed down when faced with the Soviet Union's threat of war! They hurriedly asked the United States to guarantee the unity of NATO, in other words, to seek protection from the United States.

The United States, which was extremely sensitive about Britain and France's "unauthorized" attack on Egypt and their challenge to its status as the leader, once again demanded that Britain and France immediately cease fire and withdraw their troops, and even warned them that "this may cause a world war."

When the Soviet Union threatened war and even did not rule out the use of atomic bombs, the world's attention was drawn to the Middle East.

After all, this involved several major countries such as Britain and France. Traditionally speaking, this was almost a small world war.

"World War III is about to break out!" For a time, newspapers and radio broadcasts all over the world were filled with news related to the Middle East. Hungary... seemed to have been forgotten by the world.

It seems that the Soviets' plan succeeded!

The rest is simple. It is nothing more than to completely solve the Hungarian problem while the world's attention is attracted by Egypt! When people pay attention to Hungary again, the new Hungarian government will use various methods to prove to the world how happy our life is!
But... history played a joke here. Before the Kremlin had time to celebrate or order the final general offensive on Budapest, guests from Southeast Asia walked into the famous Golden Hall of the Kremlin, where Soviet leaders met ambassadors from various countries to present their credentials and official notes. Zhao Jiezhong, Southeast Asia's ambassador to Moscow, walked into the Golden Hall, met Khrushchev, greeted him according to the official note procedure, and then submitted a note to him.

Khrushchev was not mentally prepared for the content of the note from Nanyang, because the embassy in Chang'an had not had time to send an urgent telegram - they needed to compile the code first, and then send it via the commercial telegraph line. It would take at least several hours for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Moscow to receive it and report it to Khrushchev.

However, the Nanyang Embassy in Moscow received direct instructions from China via artificial communication satellites. This is the power of technology.

After learning that the note was Nanyang’s official reply after receiving the note, Khrushchev was somewhat puzzled.

"Mr. Ambassador, is this a formal response?"

This is too fast. The ambassador in Chang'an should have just handed over the note.

It looks like the launch of artificial communication satellites needs to be accelerated!
In fact, after the Hungarian incident, when Khrushchev was faced with the Nanyang people broadcasting the Budapest battlefield live to the whole world in real time via artificial communication satellites, he realized the changes that artificial communication satellites had brought to the world.

The Soviet Union also needed that thing, even though there were not many televisions in the country. But this did not prevent the Soviet Union from using communication satellites to show its strength to the world. For example, during the military parade on Red Square, satellite live broadcasts could be used to let the world directly feel the Soviet Union's strength.

Therefore, the Soviet scientific community has been advancing research in this area, but they have to face a problem - the latitude is too high. If a geostationary satellite is launched, it will not be able to fully cover the entire Soviet Union. Therefore, technicians are also discussing the satellite orbit.

"Yes,"

After submitting the note, Zhao Jiezhong repeated the contents of the note.

"According to Chang'an's instructions, we feel obliged to point out to you that the Nanyang government has decided to take all measures to help Hungary eliminate the invaders and re-establish peace in Hungary."

what!
Khrushchev was stunned. The light reflected a little on his bald head, and his eyes were full of astonishment.

"You, what did you say?"

He even started to stutter because it didn't sound real. What were they doing?
Is it a threat to the Soviet Union?
"At the same time, we are obliged to inform you that we will provide nuclear protection to Israel and Hungary, and any country that launches a nuclear attack on them will be regarded as an attack on our homeland,"

What is thunder!

This is thunder!

But the thunder continued, so much so that Khrushchev just looked at the other party and simply didn't understand what they were trying to do!
When Khrushchev was still shocked and hadn't reacted yet, Zhao Jiezhong said something shocking.

"We will continue to carry out special military operations in Egypt. During this period, any attack launched by other parties against us, whether accidental or deliberate, will be regarded as a declaration of war against us. In order to ensure our national security, we will launch a comprehensive counterattack at the first opportunity!"

Finally, when Zhao Jiezhong finished speaking, Khrushchev, who had been in a daze, did not utter a word for a full thirty seconds. Sweat even broke out on his bald forehead. It was the sweat of shock!
After sending the diplomatic note, he imagined all kinds of possibilities, but this one was definitely not one of them, because he didn't believe that there would be such a madman in the world!

But now, the other party's answer told him—they were a bunch of lunatics!
"You are crazy! You are crazy! You are just a bunch of lunatics!"

Khrushchev said loudly.

"I'm going to your embassy. I want to have a personal conversation with Li Yian. Does he really want to start a third world war?"

Khrushchev, whose defense had been broken, was even a little out of control. In his opinion, the other side just wanted to start a war!

This was completely contrary to the original intention of their sending the note. When sending the note, Khrushchev just hoped that the other party could understand one thing - the Soviet Union was very angry and the consequences would be serious.

But he never expected that the Nanyang side did not understand his meaning at all, but instead chose a similar way to tell the Soviet Union - Let's destroy the world together!

Nanyang took it seriously!
Khrushchev even shouted.

"Do you really think we dare not drop an atomic bomb? Our bombers are flying towards your homes. We will use our actions to show you what the Soviet Union's anger is."

After saying this, Khrushchev stared at the other person, as if telling him that this was the real threat. Are you afraid?
Zhao Jiezhong seemed to have been prepared for all this. Facing the other party's gaze, he said in an extremely calm tone:
"Then... this is war!"
