    In the corridor of the main hall of Limerick Palace, Ben-Gurion and his entourage who came to meet His Majesty King Joachim I encountered the senior military generals of the new United Kingdom filing out of the military conference room. Some of them  Some people are calm and sophisticated, keeping their expressions, and some are not good at concealing themselves and are full of energy. Such a scene can't help but arouse people's imagination: these military leaders seem to have just had a lively and optimistic discussion, and perhaps a set of exquisite and complete combat plans have already been prepared.  With their joint efforts, it was successfully completed.  So, who is their target?  Are they preparing to fight a quick blitz war like the new Austrian-Italian war?  How many troops are they prepared to use, and how sure are they of winning?  How much impact will this military action have on Europe and even the world?  Will their battle plan become another classic in the history of war?  Seeing His Majesty the King, Ben-Gurion observed his words and found that the expression of this monarch, who was regarded as a contemporary legend throughout Europe, was as calm as ever, and neither his eyes nor his face showed even a trace of arrogance or arrogance.  After some warm greetings, the leaders of the Zionist movement naturally talked about their review of the "Hebrew Brigade" and expressed their sincere gratitude to His Majesty Joachim I and his subjects for their understanding and support for the Zionist movement.  gratitude.  Ben-Gurion said that given that the situation of the Palestinian war is extremely unfavorable to the Jewish armed forces, they urgently need this powerful force of the new army to rush to the battlefield.  Of course, this time the Arab Kingdom and Syria joined forces to attack the Jewish armed forces. The regular army alone invested more than 200,000 people. The air force fighters and naval ships of the two countries were almost in full force. Even if they only relied on an infantry unit of 4,000 people, they  None of them are comparable to the best soldiers of the Irish Foreign Legion, and it is difficult to change the current war situation.  "I understand your situation and your mood. We have always been doing what we can." Xia Shu responded politely, "However, as a member of the League of Nations, a signatory to the Hague International Convention, and  The signatory countries of the Brandenburg Agreement in 1937 are restricted by the League of Nations Convention, the Hague Convention, the Brandenburg Agreement, and various non-public agreements and ententes, coupled with the weighing of the overall strategic deployment, and cannot do whatever they want.  Anything, especially something with greater international influence, so we cannot directly intervene in the Palestinian war situation at the moment. " "We can completely understand your Majesty's difficulties. After all, to govern a country like the New United Kingdom, all parties must be considered.  All aspects of the situation. We firmly believe that His Majesty will never turn a blind eye to the safety of his friends," Ben-Gurion replied gracefully.  Natsuki looked at him and said: "We certainly don't want the tragedy of two thousand years ago to happen again in our time. In fact, in addition to sending our country's regular troops to participate in the war, other methods of assistance can be considered." Ben-Guri  An Sui suggested: "Then how about sending a fleet to the coast of Palestine, not to participate in the war, but only to demonstrate?" "This method has certain feasibility, but the problem is" Xia Shu paused, "Our fleet is coming from the Mediterranean Sea  Return to the mainland, and the order should not be revoked." Ben-Gurion asked: "Is it because of the consideration of the northern oil port dispute?" "Yes, I also read this news in the newspaper."  replied.  The guests laughed kindly.  Natsuki added: "Well, this is actually a serious military secret. Those ships must return to their home ports as soon as possible." Ben-Gurion nodded: "In this case, we kindly ask your Majesty to help us establish a regular armored force, so  We will purchase the necessary equipment at our own expense, the chariot crews will be selected from the 'Hebrew Brigade', and the maintenance personnel will be selected separately by us." As the strongest technical expert among European monarchs, Xia Shu analyzed it with ease and said: "I understand your point.  I am anxious, but based on my personal experience, national defense cannot be built without the power of the state. No individual or organization, even if it is as rich as the country, can hardly afford the defense expenses required by a country for a long time. To put it simply, the Ireland you favor.  Tiger', the official export price is 1.2 million Singapore dollars, which is equivalent to about 360,000 marks. 39 vehicles can form a standard tank battalion. The investment in purchasing tanks is less than 15 million marks. It does not feel expensive, but it can maintain their normal operation.  A complete set of repair tools and repair parts is required, and qualified tank crews and maintenance personnel need to be trained. The cost is much more expensive than the purchase cost of the tank. In peacetime, the various costs of maintaining a standard tank battalion are approximately 100,000 yuan per year.  10 million marks, but in wartime, the cost is 20 to 30 million marks. In a fierce battle, it is not surprising to lose more than a dozen tanks in half a day. Replenishing equipment and personnel is a huge expense. "  It is not easy for individuals and organizations to raise such a large amount of funds, and it is even beyond the imagination of many people. However, in order to realize our Jewish millennium dream, there are many Jewish people.??, including myself, I am willing to spend all my family property!  "Ben-Gurion said righteously but full of pride, "I believe that when the strength of the Jews around the world is gathered together, they will not lose to a medium-sized country!  " "If you insist that you can afford the establishment and maintenance of an armored force, and feel that this is extremely important to your restoration of the country" Xia Shu said, "I am willing to do my best within my capabilities.  contributed to this.  " Ben-Gurion and his entourage immediately stood up collectively: "Thank you from the bottom of my heart, the great King of Ireland and Wales, His Majesty Joachim I.  " Natsuki waved his hand: "As you know, considering the need to improve the combat capabilities of the Jewish Aviation Force, we are prepared to provide the Tipperary Flying Training Camp with better-performing ir-44 fighter jets and ik-43 attack aircraft, but  You have to be mentally prepared. The export price of a brand new ir-44 is 80% more expensive than the ir-39, and the maintenance cost has also increased by at least 60%.  "The leader of the Zionist movement proudly raised three fingers: "After repeated discussions, we have decided to purchase 300 new fighter planes.  If the new United Kingdom can provide us with monoplane fighters, attack aircraft and a full suite of technologies at a fair price, we will be happy to place the entire purchase order with you.  " "I will discuss the feasibility of this deal with my generals.  " Natsuki did not answer directly, but deliberately left some room. With the jet fighter replacement plan already on the agenda, the piston monoplane fighter that was finalized and manufactured in 1943-1944 will soon be relegated to the second line.  Selling them at a discount will help raise funds for new fighters and improve the aviation equipment structure. Based on the current strategic situation and consistent way of thinking of the Jews, they have no reason to reject these second-hand fighters with good performance and good maintenance. However, based on the continuation of the Kingdom of Ireland,  According to the military cooperation agreement, as long as Germany participates in technology research and development or provides technical support for weapons and equipment, the new United Kingdom must obtain the consent of the German side before exporting IR-44 fighter jets and IK-43 attack aircraft together with their ships.  The carrier model has received important technical support from Germany during the research and development process and has a high degree of technical commonality with the standard fighter aircraft of the German Army. Therefore, it has long been listed as a strategic secret shared by both countries. It is only in the United States and Japan.  It was provided to the United States for use during the Philippine War, and all were recovered after the war. During the New Austria-Italy War, in order to draw Spain into the war, the New United Kingdom planned to provide improved models of IR-44 and IK-43 to the Spanish military.  The negotiations finally obtained Germany's consent, on the condition that the Spanish military regularly provided the allocation status of these fighters to prevent key technologies from being leaked to unfriendly countries. It was precisely because of this additional clause that the Spanish military finally decided to postpone the introduction of these two aircraft.  This is an excellent military aircraft that has been listed as the "ultimate piston fighter" by the military circles. Even if this is true for the hardcore followers of the Western Allies camp, it is indeed difficult to expect the Germans to agree to let these two fighters "fall into" the hands of Jewish armed forces, let alone Germany.  The top management is reorganizing the Mediterranean strategy. They do not want the new United Kingdom to be deeply involved in the war in the Middle East, nor do they want to see the emergence of the Jewish state leading to continued instability in the Middle East, which will lead to drastic changes in the political structure of the Middle East and affect the stable exploitation of oil resources in the Middle East  ¡­ After talking about the above content, Ben-Gurion used the tactics and strategy routine to lead the topic to Tel Aviv and Masada Fortress, trying to use that tragic story to impress the ruler of the new United Kingdom and maximize his gain.  Sympathy. Natsuki had read the story of Masada in a book a long time ago. He analyzed calmly: "Tel Aviv will never become the fortress of Masada. First, the Arab army cannot compare with the ancient Roman army.  They have the name of a government army but no actual regular army, and their combat capabilities are very weak. Secondly, the Jewish armed forces holding on to Tel Aviv are not an isolated force. They have received the attention and support of Jews from all over the world, and are assisted by the Irish Foreign Legion. As long as they are not  In the event of a major accident, it is entirely possible to rely on defensive positions and urban buildings to resist the Arab army's attack; thirdly, once Tel Aviv faces the fall of the situation, we will request the League of Nations to re-intervene. Although this move cannot retreat the enemy, it can  Guarantee the safety of most people in Tel Aviv.  " After saying some polite words of thanks, Ben-Gurion sighed helplessly: "The efforts we put in to establish the Jewish state today are just like the efforts the Irish people made to gain freedom more than thirty years ago. It is a pity that we  There is no military genius as talented as His Majesty among them. Otherwise, we would not have let the previously good situation fall to where it is today.  " Xia Shu thought for a while and replied cleverly: "The Jewish nation is one of the most intelligent nations in the world. Even if individual wisdom and ability are not enough to reverse the situation, relying on the ingenuity of everyone can still achieve the goal of turning the tide.  ¡± (End of this chapter)
