On November 19, 1948, it was drizzling all day long. In the evening of that day, Colonel Brady of the Foreign Intelligence Department of the Ministry of National Defense hurried to the "Forest Palace" and reported emergency military information from the Middle East to King Joachim I to the Zionist organization. According to the intelligence obtained by the Zionist organization from the Arab King ** side, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Kingdom of Arabia had issued instructions to the troops deployed in the Palestinian region, requiring them to recall the leave personnel immediately, set off to the designated location within 24 hours, and complete the offensive deployment within 72 hours. Judging from the mobilization of each unit, the spearhead was directly aimed at the Jewish militia armed control area with Tel Aviv as the core.

After listening to Colonel Brady's report and analysis, Natsuki realized that the situation he was most worried about before was born. The top leaders of the Arab Kingdom were very likely to obtain the Zion Program. They knew that the Jewish ambition was not only to implement autonomy in the Palestinian region, but to re-establish the Jewish state in Canaan. Previously, the rulers of the Arab Kingdom intended to hand over the Palestinian region to Syria. Syria was also an Arab country after all. The two countries had confronted each other head-on.

The Arab Kingdom is at a disadvantage, and allowing the Jews to establish an independent state in the Palestine region is completely different. Although the Jews have close blood relationships with the Arabs, the Arabs have been taking good care of these wanderers for more than two thousand years after the Jews lost their homeland. However, when the Jews intend to become a big force in Palestine and even want to establish a Jewish state, the Arabs immediately regarded it as a threat and wanted to expel them all from the Palestine region.

Out of the keen intuition of a military and political leader, Xia Shu knew that a bloody storm was inevitable. On the surface, the cooperation between the New United Kingdom and the Zionists has always been a clean-up of goods, but behind this transaction is a strategic investment that cannot be measured with money. If the efforts of the Zionist organization are ultimately lost, the vested interests of the New United Kingdom will certainly not be lost, but the losses of the promising benefits and long-term interests will be immeasurable. On the other hand, if the Zionist organization can create a miracle of defeating the strong with the weak and turning this life-and-death crisis into an opportunity, it is possible to skip the complex process of autonomy first and then building a country in one go. From a military perspective, this not only depends on the will and determination of the Jews, but also on the direction of international public opinion, the attitude of European and American powers, and the assistance of the New United Kingdom!

Given that the new United Kingdom followed the highly complete military response system during the Kingdom of Ireland, Xia Shu did not urgently summon the senior generals of the army to discuss countermeasures, but issued combat readiness instructions for live-fire exercise standards to the 1st Fleet deployed in the capital through the Joint Staff. This means that the naval main fleet with two aircraft carriers, six light cruisers, and more than 20 light ships and auxiliary ships will meet the combat readiness standards within 24 hours. Once the situation requires it, it can immediately go to the designated waters.

As soon as Xia Shu's supper was over, the attendant reported that the Zionist organization sent a special liaison officer to visit him. Xia Shu appreciated the young man who dared to speak out in front of him, and the matter was of great importance. He ordered the attendant to take him to the back hall and went in light clothes.

The name of "Forest Palace" comes from the fact that the main building of this palace adopts many environmentally friendly, natural, novel and ingenious designs. At first, it was inherently considered to speed up construction periods and reduce costs. However, with the passage of time, technological progress and national strength, the "Forest Palace" has gradually become the most distinctive landmark building in Ireland and even the new United Kingdom. Nowadays, there are the world's most advanced lighting and ventilation systems, the most exquisite indoor gardens in Europe, and the most unique protection and escape systems, which can be regarded as the most charming royal palace in the era.

"Hi, Mr. Weizmann, I didn't expect we would meet again so soon!" Xia Shu stepped forward and greeted, "I'm here just right, accompany me for a walk!"

The young Ezel Weizmann looked anxious and almost spoke, but out of etiquette, he had to follow the king in disappointment and walk into the indoor garden covered by the glass dome and glass curtain wall. It was winter, and the meadows here were as green as a blanket, and the flowers were blooming like a season. A few peacocks were strolling in a corner of the garden.

"What a beautiful garden!" Ezel exclaimed unintentionally, "Glass blocks the cold and transmits sunlight, so it can create a beautiful scenery that is as good as ever in all seasons."

"That's right." Xia Shu turned his head, "These plants are not unable to adapt to the warmth and coldness of nature, but the laws of nature allow them to pass the cold winter in a withered and withered form. We use artificial technology to change the laws of nature, so that they are in full bloom all the time."

Ezer was concerned about the situation in Palestine, and even if it was a bit far-fetched, he still brought the topic: "Yes, your Majesty, as you said, artificial technology can change the laws of nature. We Jews in Palestine turned many wasteland dunes into abundant farms and supported many people with the poorest land. This is a very remarkable achievement in this era."

Natsuki did not deliberately avoid the topic: "I have read special reports on this, as well as pictures and images. It must be admitted that you Jews have smart heads and hard-working hands. As long as you are united enough, it will not be a problem to gain a long-term foothold in Palestine."

"But now trouble is coming." Ezel took the opportunity, "Although we have thought of many confidentiality methods, the Arabs have obtained our Zion Program. They are mobilizing their troops to attack Tel Aviv, disarm us, and then prevent us from turning over in the name of treason."

"Are you ready to fight?" Xia Shu asked back, "If the answer is yes, are you ready to make a huge sacrifice?"

Ezel replied without hesitation: "When fighting the invasion of the Syrian army, each of us is ready to sacrifice ourselves at any time."

Natsuki further asked: "Even if everyone sacrifices, they will be willing to sacrifice?"

This time, Ezer hesitated for a moment, but his tone was very firm when he answered: "I think so, your Majesty. As Eli Asher, the leader of the Jewish uprising in the 1st century AD, said before his execution, we would rather die for freedom than live for slaves!"

"Very good." Natsuki said, "Only with such a firm determination, hope will not be shattered."

Ezer took two steps forward quickly and begged: "We can mobilize 20,000 militias to fight against the regular army of the Arab Kingdom of 10,000. We must defend Tel Aviv anyway, and this will be a very difficult battle. We are not afraid of death, but we need your help! Your Majesty! We need your help!"

Natsuki stopped and asked calmly, "Have your executive committee granted you the right to discuss this with me?"

Ezer was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Although the content of the telegram is not clear, I think they mean this. If something goes wrong, all the responsibility will be borne by me."

"Is that right?" Xia Shu glanced at him and continued to walk forward.

Ezer hurriedly followed and said, "They will give me official authorization, but time is too urgent, and I really can't wait for them to authorize! Your Majesty, I believe that with your wisdom, we can understand our current situation. This is a time that concerns the life and death of hundreds of thousands of Jews, and even more importantly, a time that concerns the fate of a nation!"

Xia Shu walked forward for a while, then stopped, turned around, and carefully looked at the anxious young face in front of him: "Mr. Weizmann, we can continue to talk, but only if you can make the decision, or if you send someone who can make the decision, can we both reach an agreement on some aspects of cooperation, do you understand?"

Ezel nodded reluctantly. He was so anxious and helpless that he lost his dignity and courtesy in the conversation just now.

Natsuki reached out and patted his shoulder: "Young man, when you become a person who will control the fate of the country and nation one day, you will understand that things at this level must be taken seriously and must not act irresponsible."

Ezel nodded in frustration, and then lamented: "But, your majesty, we may only have three days to stop a terrible massacre."

The most powerful standing fleet in the new United Kingdom is already preparing for war, but the fleet will take six days to drive from Limerick to the Palestine coast. If there is only a three-day deadline, then this strong aid that can change the situation will not be able to catch up in any case. However, Natsuki is not as pessimistic as Ezer. Even if the information is true, the combat forces currently deployed in the Palestinian region of the Arab Kingdom arrive at the designated position within three days and are ready to attack, which does not mean that they will launch on time in three days.

Attack. You should know that Palestine is a hot spot that has attracted worldwide attention, and Jews are widely distributed around the world and have an influence that cannot be underestimated in the fields of economy, finance, trade and public opinion. If the Arab Kingdom wants to launch a tough military action against the Palestinian Jews, it will inevitably seize the Zion Program to make a big fuss, thereby occupying the commanding heights of public opinion and winning the understanding and support of the international community. This will take ten days and half a month and it is not surprising that it will take two or three months.

With this speculation, Xia Shu did not go directly to Daoyu Ezel, and he led the young man to continue walking in the indoor garden. After a while, he asked, "What model is your aviation school using?"

"The fighter jet is mainly ir-39, and the bomber is ik-4o." Ezel replied.

Xia Shu smiled meaningfully: "It seems that your pilots need to learn how to take off the flight deck as soon as possible."

Ezel widened his eyes and carefully understood the meaning behind this sentence.

Shaoqing, Xia Shu asked again: "If you successfully defeated the attack of the Arab King** team and took this opportunity to announce the establishment of a Jewish state, will you be content with the status quo, be satisfied with the land west of the Jordan River, or are you planning to seize as much territory as possible?"

In fact, on the issue of establishing a Jewish state, Zionist organizations have always had two views: a relatively cautious and pragmatic view that a country with a significant majority of Jews should be established. According to the current population distribution, its territory only occupies a small part of the Palestinian region, but must include the holy city of Jerusalem; a relatively radical and idealized view that the new Jewish state should restore the territory of the ancient United Kingdom of Israel, that is, most areas of the Palestinian region should be classified into the new Jewish state, and the non-Jewish inhabitants who originally lived here obeyed the Jewish rule and left the disobedient.

Ezer said with great relief: "If we follow the original route of autonomy first and then the country is established, we will strive to use most of the land in Palestine as the territory of the new Jewish state, but now it would be great to be able to occupy the land west of the Jordan River."
