The port of Tel Aviv under the night is not as busy and noisy as during the day. The lamps on the shore and the stars in the sky are quietly reflected on the water. Occasionally, if a ship passes by, the lights and stars will merge into beautiful ripples of florals.

At this time, if you turn your eyes to the heavy cargo wharf on the south side of the harbor, the atmosphere suddenly changes. Through the bright dock lights, you can see that the long-arm crane is wrapping one upper part after another tightly with canvas, and the lower part has tracks and heavy wheels like a tractor from the cabin to the flatbed carriage of the freight train. The operators all have serious expressions, and Jewish militias on guard can be seen everywhere around...

In a two-story building adjacent to the dock, Elhard Mirch, wearing an old German 6th Army uniform, was signing documents under the desk. Standing at the desk was a tall and thin young man wearing an unmarked field hat, a khaki uniform with no badges and logos. On the sand near the window was a man in a black top hat and a black suit, who looked less than forty years old.

After Mirshi signed the document in multiple copies, the tall and thin young man carefully handed one of the copies to the man with a high nose bridge and deep eye socket on the sand. The man briefly looked up the documents, quickly put it into the briefcase he carried with him, and raised his eyes and said, "Happy cooperation, General Mirshi!"

Mirch did not say anything, but nodded to the young man. When the young man left the room, he silently came to the wine cabinet, poured half a glass of wine for the guests and himself, and said as he walked: "Everyone in the world says that Jews are good at business, but in my opinion, you Irish people are many times smarter than Jews! A chariot that was factory in 193o was served for 10-12 years and was sealed for 6-8 years. During this period, there was no technological upgrade. It was sold to us at a sky-high price of 30,000 marks. Not only did we not feel that we were losing, we would also be grateful to you. Thank you for extending a helping hand during our very difficult times!"

The man in a black suit took the wine glass from Mirch and took a sip with a smile: "Indeed, 30,000 marks are enough for you to buy new chariots from Austro-Hungarian Empire, Italy, Sweden or French people in recent years, the Marceau-5o produced in France is particularly good, and the Skoda-194o of Austro-Hungarian Empire is also good, but none of the above countries can provide you with their new chariots and supporting technologies in batches, and none of them will send you elite 6 troops, so we are your only choice!"

Mirch shook his wine glass: "No, in fact...not exactly. In the international arms market, in addition to the official channels, there is another channel called smuggling. As long as you have money, there is almost no goods that smugglers cannot buy, and there are many qualified professional mercenaries. However, smugglers find it difficult to provide buyers with long-term, stable and complete personnel training and equipment maintenance. Professional mercenaries are suitable for small-scale combat and are usually difficult to meet the requirements of large-scale military operations, and you have an incomparable advantage."

The man raised his wine glass with a smile: "So, happy cooperation, General Mirth!"

Mirch smiled bitterly: "Yes, I wish us a happy cooperation, respected Colonel Meyer."

After clinking the glass, Mirshi took a sip. The man squinted his eyes at the old colleague and joked: "Don't be upset. General Mirshi, each of these 'heavy infantry's handed over to you is a trustworthy warrior. Moreover, since my team and I have come to Palestine, we will definitely help you at critical moments."

After hearing this, Mirch's expression did ease a lot. Although he had no intersection with the Colonel Meyer in front of him, the famous media who had heard of him ten years ago called him "an unusually fanatical warrior" and a "killing machine that ignores life", and the fair evaluation given to him by the German side was "a talented armored commander."

Meier joined the cavalry unit of the German 6th Army at the age of 18 and was admitted to the German Armored Academy at the age of 20. Two years later, he graduated with the first place and joined the famous German 1st Guard Armor Division. A few months later, World War II broke out, and the 1st Guard Armored Division was on the Eastern Front. In order to get the opportunity to participate in actual combat, Meier took the initiative to apply for transfer to the 5th Armored Division. Later, he joined the army with the army and participated in many fierce battles such as Newcastle and Sheffield. With his outstanding performance, he won the gold service medal and the first-class iron.

Cross. After the Battle of Britain, Meier applied to be transferred to the American Expeditionary Corps and participated in the combat operations attacking Cuba and the Florida Peninsula, and exchanged his impressive military achievements for the third-level Red Eagle Medal. After the war, the young officer who was unwilling to live peacefully went to the Persian area under the Ottoman Empire as a military instructor to assist the Turkish army in fighting against the Persian armed forces secretly supported by the Soviet Union. In 1938, Meier was promoted to major and became the youngest school official among non-royal members of the German family.

Unfortunately, this rising military star caused great trouble because of his brave and tough style: in an operation to attack Persian armed forces, he ordered the shelling of a village with Persian armed personnel, resulting in the death of dozens of civilians. This incident caused a humanitarian storm through a report by a military reporter. Under heavy pressure from home and abroad, the German court finally found Meyer guilty of manslaughter and imprisoned him for three years and deprived of his military post. After being released from prison in 1941, Meyer joined the Irish Foreign Corps under the recommendation of his former colleagues. He first served as a staff officer in the "Viking" battalion, and then gained favor and attention from Ireland's top leaders because of his great performance in the 1942 Irish 6th Army autumn exercise, and was immediately hired as Ireland.

The special instructor of the Armored Forces Academy and the technical consultant of the armored forces of the Irish 6th Army. In 1944, the "Viking" Battalion was adapted from the Mechanized Infantry Camp to the Armored Battalion. Meier served as the commander of the battalion and successfully built the unit into an elite armored elite with first-class combat power. In the spring and autumn of 1945, the "Viking" Battalion both showed performance comparable to the front-line armored troops in Ireland, thus winning the honorary title of the Ace Battalion of the Irish Foreign Corps. Later, the situation in the Pacific suddenly became tight, and Ireland sent foreign aid troops to serve as senior sparring and wartime reserves at the invitation of the United States. Although the battalion did not get a chance to show its skills in its own right, the excellent qualities they showed in daily training exercises were highly recognized by the United States.

After the "Mohamed" battalion arrived in Palestine as an advance force, several other battalions of the Irish Foreign Corps will also embark on a foreign journey. This time, Meier took his battalion command to Tel Aviv on a boat, escorting the chariot equipment purchased by the Jews to deliver the goods, and also training chariot crews for the Jewish militia in Palestinian.

Outside the window, the train loaded with cargo finally slowly left the heavy cargo dock. The 8o tanks that completed the delivery procedures will be transported to the tractor assembly plant in Tel Aviv North District. Among these 8o tanks, 28 were 16-ton "Patrol" light tanks, and the other 52 were 34-ton heavy tanks nicknamed "Heavy Infantry". In the early 30 years, Ireland's "Heavy Infantry" was a very eye-catching 6-war weapon. Although it was only 25 kilometers on the road and the off-road degree was about 15 kilometers, the armor thickness in its main parts reached 72-82 mm. In addition, it adopted a bevel armor design, and its protection ability was the best in that era. The 5o diameter 75mm cannon was equipped with a 50-meter diameter 75mm gun that could penetrate all the tanks at that time within a thousand meters, so it was regarded by the Irish senior management as a tactical weapon for local defense.

After the collapse of the British Empire, the possibility of Ireland's invasion suddenly changed from "extremely" to "extremely small". With the transformation of national defense strategy, the "heavy infantry" production lines were closed one by one, and their holdings dropped from 446 at the peak of 1933 to 165 at 1942. In the past ten years, only a small number of improvements without upgrading or replacement models appeared. However, the Japanese-Soviet War between 1942 and 1944 made the world see the big costume.

The impressive power of the A-group tactics, the Irish 6th Army took the lead and launched a new generation of medium-sized standardized chariot "Irish Leopard" to the Western Allies in December 1943. The prototype caused a sensation in the military as soon as it was displayed. In the next six months, the Irish 6 received orders of 78o vehicles, with a total purchase price of 23.4o million marks, and there were additional personnel training and post-maintenance contracts worth tens of millions of marks.

In January 1944, the heavy-duty combat vehicle "Irish Tiger" was released for the first time. Although it is generally regarded as an upgraded model of "heavy infantry", the "Irish Tiger" is not a simple amplification and strengthening of "heavy infantry". First of all, the "Irish Tiger" adopts a newly designed suspension system, six-pair of medium-diameter load-bearing wheels and double-pin tracks, which gets rid of the disadvantages of "big and stupid" heavy tanks. Secondly, the huge double-person turret is equipped with a door.

The 5o diameter 1o5mm rifled gun, this unprecedented chariot gun is equipped with a smoker and stabilizer, and can also be equipped with an active infrared night vision device. Furthermore, the armor thickness on the front of the "Irish Tiger" turret reaches 10mm, the tilted armor of the turret and the body is optimized, and armor skirts are installed on both sides of the car body. Such "Irish Tiger" has a multiple improvement in combat effectiveness compared to the "heavy infantry"!

When contacting the top leaders of the new United Kingdom, the Jews wanted to introduce two recently-served powerful equipment, "Irish Leopard" and "Irish Tiger". General Mirshi and his assistants have even calculated the equipment to defeat the Arab countries. With relative air supremacy, 4O "Irish Leopard" or 3O "Irish Tiger" is enough to keep any Arab armed forces away from the Palestine region! The Zionists with abundant funds are willing to increase the price of 2o-3o% on the basis of the price of purchasing these two tanks in the Western Allies. Unfortunately, the New United Kingdom has made guarantees to the German government, which has ordered "Irish Leopard" and "Irish Tiger" in batches, and only go west within six years

The Allied countries provided these two high-quality six-war weapons. Furthermore, the "Irish Leopard" and "Irish Tiger" not only significantly surpassed the "Celtic Warrior" series and "heavy infantry" vehicles in terms of performance, but also greatly improved the operation difficulty and maintenance requirements. They could not play 100% role in the hands of rookies. Therefore, the Irish military enthusiastically recommended various upgraded versions of "Celtic Warriors" and those old and strong "heavy infantry" to the Jews. Not only did they give preferential discounts, but they also provided operation and maintenance training free of charge. Although the Jews were a little reluctant, they weighed the cost-effectiveness of various equipment and finally accepted the "good intention" of the Irish people.
