Sweden was dumbfounded by the Soviet Union, but in fact Li Xiaofeng had no choice but to Sweden.√From Li Xiaofeng's temper, he was quite dissatisfied with Sweden's approach this time, because a certain immortal felt that the Soviet Union had basically never provoked Sweden since its establishment, and everyone was not in trouble. In his opinion, the ruins of Peter the Great in the era had nothing to do with the current money. Sweden would not be a good neighbor of the Soviet Union, at least he should not take the initiative to cause trouble with the Soviet Union, right?

As the saying goes, if you don’t offend me, I won’t offend others. The Soviet Union had never offended you, Sweden before, but this time you took the initiative to make trouble. What does this mean?

If a certain immortal had a urinary nature before, he would have to greet the Swedes and let the Swedes taste the power of Russian bear paws. But after so many years of political training, a certain immortal was no longer the foolish thing he had back then. He would not do anything stupid to show off his anger. But now he really hit Sweden, it would be no benefit no matter how he looked at it.

First, the Soviet Union really has no thoughts about Sweden at present. Sweden's territory has little strategic significance. It is not as capable of facing the Atlantic Ocean like Norway. It is an estuary that the Soviet Union urgently needs. Even if it grabs Sweden, it is still struggling in the Baltic bathtub. After taking Denmark, Sweden has no meaning to the Soviet Union.

Secondly, hitting Sweden cannot play a role in shaking the tiger. Sweden is no longer the Nordic overlord of the past. It was taught a lesson to become a neutral country. It is meaningless to beat him, except to make France, the Netherlands and Belgium nervous. If you don’t do it well, you will also surrender these countries to force Britain and the United States. It is really unprofitable.

Finally, the current international situation does not allow the Soviet Union to waste its power at will. The fruits of the victory of World War II are too great, so great that they have already produced the Soviet Union's digestive ability. If you don't care about it, you will really choke to death. Anyway, the Soviet Union has everything that should have in Western Europe, so it's meaningless to engage in Sweden.

But then again, Sweden's approach is too provocative, and it is unreasonable to teach him a lesson. It is too painful to let Li Xiaofeng endure this tone. Anyway, Sweden is a useless rib at this time, and it is a pity to eat it without any taste, which is really boring.

Just as Li Xiaofeng was thinking about how to deal with Sweden to get the right amount, an unexpected situation arises again. As mentioned earlier, the votes of Britain and the United States were broken and they had to give the Soviet Union a penny, but the votes of France were really not good, and even a small Danish issue could not be solved. It really disappointed Britain and the United States.

Seeing that the Denmark issue had been loud and small at the beginning, gradually becoming weak in thunder, Britain and the United States could not sit still. At this pace, the Soviet Union was completely unharmed! Not only was it unharmed, but it was not even able to distract the Soviet Union. How could this work?

So, the British quickly got on the court. Churchill was worried that if he was two days later, the Denmark would be gone at all. Taking advantage of the fact that he was still talking about it, he should start to deal with Palestine and Iran!

The British chose to take action in Palestine first. After all, it was different from Iran. Palestine was the British private land, and Britain had the upper hand here to make trouble. However, when it comes to the issue of the Middle East, we have to mention Turkey. When the Ottoman Turkish Empire was the most awesome, the Middle East, including Egypt and North Africa, were all under the territory of the native chicken. However, after the glory of Emperor Suleiman, the native chicken began to decline. By the mid-19th century, the huge empire had already been divided. The vote of North Africa was controlled by Britain and France, and Egypt was directly classified as a protection country by the British. In the Middle East, the Arabs obtained a certain degree of "autonomous power", and the tribal power was more control over the local government than the Turkish government.

When the First World War broke out, especially after Turkey officially joined the German-Austrian group, the form of the Middle East became quite complicated. Although the Arabs and Turks were highly consistent in their religious beliefs, they really couldn't pee in the same pot. After the initial glory of the prophet, the Arabs, who laid the ysl doctrine, quickly turned into mud again, and instead let Turkey, an outsider, take charge of the ysl world. However, this also left hidden dangers. Ottoman Turkey was naturally speechless in military terms, but religiously it was shorter Arabs.

In fact, the difference can be seen from the title. After Muhammad's death, the title of the helm of the Arab Empire was Harry. The word actually means the general agent of the believer, that is, the leader of the whole world. But after the Arab Empire was killed by Mongolia, Harry was a joke. It was not until the rise of the Ottoman Turkey in the world brought about a second glory. Of course, this has nothing to do with the Arabs. The boss of the Ottoman Turkey did not have the title of Harry. The Ottoman Turkish rulers, including the so-called Suleiman Great, all had the formal title of Sultan.

The Sultan was far inferior to Harry, and it only had secular significance. It could be translated into a governor or ruler. It is obvious that the Arabs thought they were the first to be above the Turks in spirit, especially the descendants of the prophet Muhammad on the Arabian Peninsula. Naturally, they looked down on the Turks even more. But unfortunately, this spiritual satisfaction cannot change a reality, that is, the Ottoman Türkiye is the ruler of the world.

Anyway, before World War I, the Turks and Arabs were vain and sermons, and Turkey gave the leaders of Arab tribes with religious privileges to certain autonomy, but these tribes must recognize the rule of the Ottoman Empire, which is what they will do.

However, the outbreak of World War I gave the Arabs hope to get rid of Turkey, which led to the story of the Arabs and the British and French rebelling in the backyard of the Middle East (Lawrence participated in this matter). According to the initial promise of Britain, it was to give these Arab tribes independent sovereignty, but we all know that what the British are best at is not keeping their words. After dealing with the Allies, the British repent (Lawrence was quite angry about this). In other words, after World War I, the Arabs only won limited independence, and the boss just changed from Turks to British and French.

Naturally, the Arabs were dissatisfied. A large number of Arabs with knowledgeable people entered a new round of efforts to win independence. At this time, in order to check and balance the Arab resistance, the British came up with an old way to divide and govern it. That is, to cause trouble for the Arabs. The British chose the Jews and created the disgusting Belfort Declaration.

This approach was quite useful in history, which directly led to several subsequent Middle East wars. Of course, after the end of World War II, the British's control declined, and the United States and the Soviet Union replaced their original leadership, which directly led to the British losing control of the Jews. In order to safeguard oil interests, Britain and France initially stood on the side of the Arab League, but were beaten by the United States and the Soviet Union.

However, in this time and space, the situation became more complicated. After World War I, the Jews basically got rid of their dependence on Britain. They were much stronger than in history when they founded the state of East Prussia, which directly led to the complete rewriting of the power balance in the Palestinian region. The Jews with Eastern European sub-bases were much stronger than in history, and beat the Arabs in the Palestinian region.

This result is quite unfavorable to the UK. The British hope is balance, and the Jews and Arabs are fighting equally, and they are good at fishermen and profitable. But now it is completely one-sided, especially after the victory of World War II, the Soviet Union was the first to jump out to express its support for the establishment of the Jews in Palestine. It is obvious that the Jews have completely turned to the Soviet Union, which means that Britain's Middle East policy has completely gone bankrupt.

Naturally, the British quit. At this time, there was no oil field in Aberdeen, and the oil and gas fields in Java were seriously damaged during World War II. In an instant, the oil security of the British Empire became no guarantee at all. Later generations knew that not putting eggs in a basket was a world-wide search for oil channels. Britain naturally understood this truth better, and there was no need to talk nonsense about oil resources in the Middle East. It can be said that if Britain wants to recover its blood, it must seize the Middle East. Naturally, whether it is to please the Arabs, oil, or counterattack the Soviet Union, Britain must attack the Jews in terms of emotion and reason. This is an inevitable choice!

Therefore, after the Soviet Union expressed support for the establishment of the Jewish state in Palestine, the United Kingdom immediately expressed its opposition: "The survival status of the Jews has greatly improved, and they have settled in East Prussia have no need to return to Palestine... The large influx of Jews into Palestinian will only increase regional turmoil and conflict. Therefore, the British government believes that it is not appropriate to talk about Zion at this time, and the Jews should be more restrained!"

This statement almost completely negated the previous Belfort Declaration and also announced a comprehensive adjustment of the British Jewish policy. And this is not the most powerful. As the British ruling place, it was too easy for the British to make facts in Palestine. After the end of World War II, without the restraint of the Nazis, the British could have freed up their hands to eliminate the local Jewish militia in Palestine. In fact, the British did the same.

On May 15, the sixth day of the Nazi surrender, according to Churchill's order, an airborne unit of the Royal Air Force was urgently deployed to Palestine, and then a considerable number of British troops left France and headed for the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt. These actions clearly showed Britain's tough attitude.

This is the attitude of the British, let’s look at the Jewish side. According to Ben Gurion’s idea, the basic national strategy of East Prussia after World War II was to avoid being directly involved in the disputes between major powers, ensure the security of East Prussia and actively re-establish the Jewish homeland in Palestine. It should be said that such a national strategy was not particularly beneficial to the Soviet Union. After all, the Soviet Union still paid a lot for East Prussia during World War II. Without the support of the Soviet Union, East Prussia would definitely not be able to withstand the Nazi attack. Now the Jews are preparing to cross the river and destroy bridges again. It is really unbearable.

However, Ben Gurion had a good idea, but the international situation changed so quickly that it caught him off guard. After the war, he visited the United States first, on the one hand, seeking the support of the American Jewish consortium, and on the other hand, he also showed kindness to the United States in disguise to avoid East Prussia being labeled as pro-Soviet by the Americans, which would be very troublesome.

However, Ben Gurion's trip to the United States did not achieve any results. Truman was not particularly interested in him. Even though he repeatedly explained that East Prussia and the Soviet Union were not ally, Truman was also very cold to him. He might not even want to see him because of the face of the Jewish consortium.

Of course, Truman's indifference is understandable. The relationship between Prussia and the Soviet Union in the Middle East in World War II was too close. After World War II, the Soviet Union was the first to stand up to speak for the Jews. You said there was nothing between you, who believed it?

However, the main reason is not this. The more important reason is that Truman is preparing to deepen British-US relations. Since the Soviet Union showed its nuclear muscles, the United States has been a little uneasy. Yes, the United States also has nuclear weapons. There is not a big gap between the two countries in this regard. However, the United States did not have intercontinental missiles at the time. Standing on the American Great Six, it was impossible to throw atomic bombs at the Soviet Union.

In other words, if we want to maintain nuclear deterrence against the Soviet Union, the Americans cannot do without the European 6. Only bombers such as B29 can throw atomic bombs into the core areas of the Soviet Union. However, this faces the problem. The United States has no territory in Europe, which means that if you want to threaten the Soviet Union with nuclear weapons, you must have a military base in Europe.

Unlike history, the United States did not get a German-occupied area and could not directly garrison troops in Germany. Before, Truman also explored France and tried to persuade the French to open some air bases to the United States. However, the proud Charles de Gaulle directly refused. For Charles de Gaulle, letting the US troops station on France was a shame and a great humiliation. It was almost equivalent to declaring France as a second-rate country, and it was impossible for him to agree to kill him.

Some comrades may want to say that it doesn’t matter if France doesn’t agree. Isn’t there Belgium and the Netherlands? These two small countries have no reason to reject the goodwill of the United States, right? For them, the US military stationed on their territory can effectively avoid the threat of the Soviet Union.

This is true. The United States has also reached a relevant agreement with Belgium and the Netherlands to directly assist in defense of the two countries. However, there is still one of the most serious problems, that is, Belgium and the Netherlands are too close to the Soviet Red Army. These two countries are almost on the front line of fighting against the Soviet Union. With the ability of the Red Air Force and the Red Army armored forces, it takes only a few hours to kill. If nuclear weapons are deployed here, it is very likely that these nuclear weapons will be destroyed when the Soviet Union launches its first wave of offensive, which will greatly reduce the threat.

Anyway, Americans have searched for this ticket in Europe, and there are very few places suitable for deploying nuclear weapons, that is, France, Italy and Britain have this condition, and France has clearly expressed their opposition. As for Italy, there is no seed of noodles and no right to oppose it. However, deploying nuclear weapons here is not a good choice. Italy in southern Europe is too far from the hinterland of the Soviet Union. Bombers such as B29 take off from Italy and have to cross a vote of Central and Eastern Europe to reach the sky above the Soviet Union. It is too easy to be intercepted during this period.

In other words, the only one suitable for deploying nuclear weapons is Britain. First, the two countries have close relations, and secondly, Great Britain is not easily directly attacked by the Soviet Union when it is overseas. Moreover, Britain has a fundamental conflict of interest with the Soviet Union. Deploying nuclear weapons in Britain is the best choice.

Of course, there is still a problem here, that is, if you want to deploy nuclear weapons in the UK, you must have the consent of the British. With the urinary nature of Churchill's old fox, you must take the opportunity to blackmail the United States. Churchill's request is also very simple, and I hope the United States respects the fundamental interests of Britain in the Middle East.

To put it bluntly, the old smoker's requirement is to ensure Britain's control over the Middle East. Is this requirement very high? It should be said that it is quite high. Let's not talk about the importance of oil. Although Americans are not short of oil, they really want to control valves. Controlling oil is equivalent to controlling the world's economic lifeline and gaining unique power. Churchill hopes to use the right to deploy nuclear weapons to exchange for oil power. To be honest, this really treats Americans as 25.

According to Truman's idea, this is a blackmail. How can you agree? The fat piece of the Middle East has long wanted to get into it. You, Britain, and you are so beautiful that you are so beautiful. However, when Truman wanted to reject Churchill's request, a variable appeared. Roosevelt, who had been unconscious after cerebral congestion and coma, finally woke up. Although the old president changed from paraplegia to paraplegia, this did not affect the old president's thinking ability. Although he immediately resigned after he woke up and heard the doctor's description of his condition, he just gave the president's throne to Truman with justification, but his opinions were still very strong.

At that time, Roosevelt told Truman: "Agree with the British's request!"

Truman was shocked at that time and thought that the old president was not yet awake, but the reason given by Roosevelt later really made him unable to refuse: "From the future situation, it is inevitable to deepen British-US relations and jointly fight against the Soviet Union. Only with the help of the British as a springboard can we legitimately interfere in European affairs. Being able to deploy nuclear weapons in the UK will give us a nuclear advantage over the Soviet Union and force the Soviet Union to give up its plans for further expansion. Secondly, with the cooperation of the UK, it will be much more convenient for us to integrate Western European forces, and old Europe still has many good ways. Finally, standing on the UK for the time being does not prevent us from exerting influence on the Middle East in the future!"

Truman agrees with the first two benefits, but he really can't figure out the third point. I have to say that there is still a gap between the political vision and political wisdom of the Vice President and Roosevelt.

Roosevelt told him calmly: "It is not difficult to guess what the British think is. They must want to control the oil power in the Middle East and thus affect the world's economy. This is indeed a good idea, but I am bluntly speaking, if it were Britain before World War II, it would be possible to do this, but now Britain no longer has this ability. Britain's national strength no longer has the ability to control the Middle East alone. They are now like an old man who is dying, and they are not convinced of their old age and are ignorant of young people. This is how

Is it possible? My friend, I can conclude that without our support, no matter Britain, France or they join forces, it is impossible to gain a foothold in the Middle East. The Russians can defeat them with one hand. So you might as well promise the UK verbally, and then stand on the side and watch the show. When the Russians finish teaching them a lesson, the British will be obediently asking us to help. At that time, they can interfere with Middle East affairs with justified means to squeeze the British aside. And wouldn’t it be great to let the UK and the Soviet Union consume each other for a while?”

Truman's eyes lit up, and he had to admire Roosevelt's scheming. According to Roosevelt's method, the United States was almost waiting to get benefits. Naturally, Truman could not have a good face to Ben Gurion. He knew very well the British's plan, which was to take the initiative to attack the Jews. How could he risk offending the British and reciprocate with the Jews? Even if there was a Jewish consortium inside it, it would not work!

You know, Truman's attitude made Churchill overjoyed. For the first time, the old smoker felt that the United States without Roosevelt was more cute. If he continued at this pace, the United States would be played with by him in the applause. At that time, maybe Britain could secretly suck the blood of the United States and recover its vitality!

Of course, we all know that the actual situation is completely opposite. Churchill is really being played with, and he has no idea that Roosevelt has seen through everything.

However, all this was scared to Ben. Gurion. He naturally didn't know the true plans of the Americans. He thought that Americans were completely on the side of Britain. This means that if East Prussia still implemented the previous "neutral" national policy, it is very likely that it would offend the Soviet Union and not be able to please the United States, and in the end it would not be pleased. In the international political arena over the years, Ben. Gurion is also a good man. He knew too much about the sorrow of a small country. If he could not get along well with each other, he would have to hold a big and thick leg tightly. If it made the heavens angry and the people resented, the big gangster would teach you how to be a human being in every minute.

So when I saw that it was impossible to open up in the United States, Ben Gurion was also smart enough. He flew to Moscow without returning to Konisburg, and went directly to find Li Xiaofeng, an old friend of the Jewish people. He sincerely hoped to show a general all-weather partnership.

What does Li Xiaofeng think about this? He had been staring at the actions of the Jews before, after all, this was related to the Soviet Union's future layout of the Middle East. In addition, he also wanted to see if the Jews were really that smart. What was the result? As a result, the Jews were really not smart enough in politics and had not seen through all the essential problems of all this. If he were Ben, Gurion would not be uncomfortable in the United States. The national interests of the United States were determined. He could not give the Jews a good face for the time being... (To be continued.)8
