Chapter 556 Iron Maiden

"I want to be the person in charge of the negotiations. I will go to Jerusalem. I will be back in a few days." Looking at my daughter running back and forth with a warm look, Selov grabbed his wife's hand and said, "Some problems need to be solved. Take good care of the children at home these days."

"I understand, look at your wood chips." Valia reached out and patted the man's body, making a muffled sound. It is conceivable how powerful this body that does not look like a human is contained. Thinking of this, the woman's heart became a little hot. She liked this man, although this man was ignorant and inconsistent.

But Selov didn't think so much. Suddenly, he thought that from now on, his daughter seemed to be at the age of paper work class. She shivered and said timidly, "I don't care about paper work class. I, a man, can't do that thing well."

In fact, you are not doing well in any homework. Valia looks at the pile of waste, but it doesn’t matter. As for men, as long as they have long strengths, some shortcomings can be tolerated by women. Obviously, their husbands have the strengths to be enough for this standard.

The warring countries have been out of contact, but no one will doubt that they will catch the consequences of the fight with just a command. Although this Middle East war only lasted half a month, the several countries participating in the war have already made real fire. Even if they are exhausted and unable to fight again, their hostility will be unconcealed.

As long as the United States and the Soviet Union open up the supply of arms, this war of attrition can continue. In the Middle East war in history, Nasser gritted his teeth and fought with Israel for a war of attrition. He determined that Egypt, with a population of tens of millions, could persist more than Israel. However, his successors finally believed that Israel, which has the support of the Western market, was actually more affordable than Egypt.

This is based on the proportion of casualties in the Middle East war, but now it is different. Although the Arab coalition lost more than 60,000 people in this war, it also killed nearly 5,000 Jews. Even if it was consumed by 10 to 1, over 100 million Arabs around the world could still consume it.

The best result is of course that these two disasters are consumed to each other, and of course Selov also knows that this is unrealistic. He is convinced that as long as the Soviet Union wins the Cold War, it will not be said whether it is good news for other countries. However, it will definitely eliminate all religious forces under his nose. In other words, any of the most extreme conservative forces within the Arab country will be in a state of demise. With the victory of the Soviet Union, there will definitely be no countries in the Middle East that lived a medieval life.

For the time being, communism is not suitable for Arabs, so support Egypt to suppress Saudi Arabia. There is no way to do so. Syria is the only country that was still resisting in later generations. Considering this, the Soviet delegation led by Selov first landed in Damascus, the capital of Syria, an ancient city with a long and glorious history.

A huge bronze statue of Saladin stands in the city center. In fact, this does not conform to the teachings, but Syria does not have such a serious religious atmosphere. Saladin is strictly a Kurd. Of course, he was born in Syria, and Syria mainly promotes the latter.

"Meet again, General Assad!" After getting off the plane, Selov first stretched out his hand and held it tightly with the hand of the Middle East lion. This person did not disappoint the Soviet Union, at least it was much more reliable than the Egyptians. A new round of aid plans have been released. In the re-arming of Egypt and Syria, Syria will not get much less than Egypt. Considering Syria's military strength and population, Syria won the favor of the Soviet Union through this war.

Compared with Egypt, Syria is obviously more likely to make obvious moves to get close to the Soviet Union. After all, the leader of Arab nationalism is Egypt's Nasser, not Assad. Syria does not have such a big blueprint as Egypt, and wants to integrate the entire Arab world. What Syria considers is very practical. If Egypt can give them benefits, they will merge with Egypt. If they cannot be separated, of course they are not able to talk about anything without principles. In the case that cannot be discussed, the issue of Israel is in it.

The Soviet Union advocated only a ceasefire agreement, not a peace agreement. With both the United States and the Soviet Union, war will break out sooner or later. The problem now is not a problem that Israel continues to exist. Israel has been accused of. This time, Israel occupied the entire West Bank. It can be said that it includes all Palestinian land, and it is discussed whether Israel will return to the control area when it was founded.

Of course, for the Soviet Union, Israel could not reach the Soviet Union. It could have been the two sides to make trouble, but once nuclear weapons appeared, it would not be fun, so Selov did not expect any results. He just came over to talk and destroyed Israel's nuclear facilities by the way, that's all.

On June 22, 1967, two days after the ceasefire, after joining with Syria, the two delegations arrived in Jerusalem, where they were waiting for the Jordanian delegation and Egypt delegation, as well as the United States delegation and Israeli negotiators to discuss how to take the final work after the war.

Jerusalem is probably the most famous city in the world, and the conflict is as long as its history. West Jerusalem was occupied by the newly established state of Israel, and East Jerusalem was occupied by Jordan. Except for Britain and Palestine, no other countries recognized Jordan's occupation of the eastern and western banks of Jerusalem.

Israel and Jordan signed an armistice agreement, and the designated ceasefire line passed through the city center of Jerusalem. From then on until this war, east and west Jerusalem belonged to Jordan and Israel respectively. Israel established the capital of West Jerusalem. Since Jerusalem has special significance for Jews, peacemakers and Christians, the issue of its status is still unresolved.

"Just for this city, both sides fought to death?" Entering this city that was completely controlled by Israel, the outfits of their group seemed more eye-catching, and there was still a big difference between Soviet-style military uniforms and Western countries' military uniforms.

If it weren't for the Soviets around him, Selov might not have asked such a question. Anyway, he could not understand the charm of this city. Of course, if it was Constantinople, it would be understandable. However, Constantinople is not just a cultural reason. The city also held the way for the Soviet Union to move south. If it was always in the hands of Turkey, the Black Sea, the only warm water area in the Soviet Union, would have been blocked.

Selov agreed that no matter where he went, he could not come in vain. Even if the smoke from here had just dissipated, he should go out and take a walk. After putting on the bulletproof vest, he could go there. After all, he was still quite afraid of death.

There is a saying in the Jewish classic "Talmud", "If the world is very beautiful, nine parts are in Jerusalem." Solomon succeeded to the throne and built a Jewish temple on Mount Zion in Jerusalem. It was the center of religious and political activities by ancient Jews, so Judaism regarded Jerusalem as a holy land. Later, a wall was built on the ruins of the temple, which the Jews called the "wailing wall", and became the most important worship object in Judaism today.

Selov arrived at the Wailing Wall. Although he did not feel any special emotions, he stopped here very seriously with the attention of the Israeli soldiers. He also walked around the other places including the Path of Suffering, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the Jaffa Gate.

"A place with a very historical sense, this is the highest point of ancient civilization. What is most amazing is that so many ruins are left today!" Many cities have glorious history, but there are not many cities like Jerusalem that can preserve so many historical relics. Perhaps Damascus and Rome can also be considered one, but it is far less than Jerusalem to preserve so many.

Even if the Soviet Union insists on this city, the Arabs will definitely not come back, not to mention that the Soviet Union has no reason to insist. As of the time of the ceasefire, any country could see that Israel is indeed having the advantage, but it is very difficult for Israel to win.

After a day, the relevant negotiators arrived in Jerusalem, and US Secretary of State Dean Rusk and Israeli negotiators also attended. Unexpectedly, it was not the Minister of Foreign Affairs who was responsible for Israel's negotiations, but a woman. In Selov's opinion, this woman could be fully worthy of an evaluation and had a hideous face...

"Gorda Meier, General Secretary of the Israeli Labor Party, the previous Foreign Minister!" Shelov nodded when he heard the reminder of his assistant and his eyes were re-positioned to Mrs. Meier. No wonder, it turned out to be the world's famous Iron Lady. In a few years, she should be the Prime Minister of Israel.

Selov and US Secretary of State Dean Rusk were more like those in charge, and the arguments were handed over to the war countries involved, mainly Egypt, Syria, Jordan and Israel. Among them, Mrs. Meir opened her eyes and this woman was really worthy of the evaluation given to her by the world later, and she didn't know what concessions were.

"Israel will not surrender. We have been waiting for independence for two thousand years, and no force can force us to retreat!" Mrs. Meir stared firmly at the representatives of the Arab side, expressing her determination to not give in.

"How did this old lady speak with a familiar smell? Was she born in Russia?" The tone of her speech left a trace for Madame Meier. Shelov was very familiar with this trace. That's how Valia spoke.

So that's it. Madame Meier was born in Ukraine, the Russian Empire. This woman is very familiar with the Soviet socialism. She was once the leader of the Israeli trade union. She should not be underestimated by the opponent, but this is not the reason for the Soviet Union to make concessions.

"It seems that Mrs. Meir believes that Israel can still fight. Since that's the case, you can start a war immediately." Since she knew that the other party was born in Russia, Selov directly expressed his meaning in Russian. (~^~)
