Chapter 365 The lion opens its mouth (fourth update, please subscribe)

What is the root cause of territorial waters 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 declined, was 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.

"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 of mutual interest."

What caught his eye was a Chinese man. As a businessman, Arthur could clearly tell the difference between East Asians. Japanese were too short and Southeast Asians were too dark. This man 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 items recently,"

Arthur was stunned by the other party's words. He picked up the coffee cup and 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:

"Yes, it's just business, so I came here to discuss a business deal with you."

Through the intelligence 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, they had organized immigration to Palestine, and on the other hand, they had secretly purchased weapons, especially after the United Nations agreed last year. After Partition, they stepped up their purchasing efforts.

"Really?"

Arthur asked.

"what business."

"Business that interests you."

While talking, 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. "Who does he represent when he comes to the door like this?"

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 didn't 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 seemed that the future of the Jewish state was confirmed, but Arthur and the others knew very well what the Jewish state would face in the future - an attack from Arabia, which they had 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, and what is on the black market?

Only small arms.

Arthur took a look at the list he received and said in surprise.

"What...this, this...are you sure?"

"Of course." The other party's surprise was already expected by Lin Guodong.

"Otherwise, why would I come to you?"

"Sir, does that include airplanes?"

Arthur was so surprised because the list included not only small weapons such as pistols and rifles, but also aircraft, tanks and other weapons.

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.

However, 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. The British government's attitude is even more unfriendly. Not only are they not sympathetic to Israel's situation, they even provide tanks, aircraft, and artillery to Arab countries. Help them train their troops.

Only the Czech Republic opened its doors to them - from which, with the consent of the Russians, they obtained large quantities of small arms, field artillery, bombs and explosives.

But they also needed 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?"

Arthur looked at the other person and asked:

"I may need you to deliver as soon as possible."

"There's no problem with that, 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 see."

Arthur nodded and asked.

"How much does a Messerschmitt BF109 fighter jet cost?"

Lin Guodong stretched out two fingers.

"Twenty thousand dollars?"

The price seems to be very reasonable, the P51 fighter jet sold in the United States is $4000. 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 plane!"

what!

Arthur's eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't believe his ears.

"Two hundred thousand dollars! My God, you're just talking like a lion!"

This is no longer the lion's mouth, but blackmail!

It's blackmail, it's...

"Yes."

Lin Guodong smiled and said.

"The price is very expensive, but you can consider it."

When getting up to leave, Lin Guodong handed the other party a business card and said.

"Mr. Arthur, please contact me after you think about it. However, I will be abroad in the past two days. You can contact my secretary then."

After that, Lin Guodong left the restaurant. 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, did you hear that? 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 that true?"

"The latest news on the radio."

For a time, people on the roadside crowded in front of the radio and listened to the news coming from the radio.
