Chinese Warlord From Joseon - Chapter 443

Our Sea 2

The magnificence of the legions that took part in the anti-crusade wars was great.

It was a spectacular sight to see soldiers from Syria, Iraq, and Jordan marching against the sunset, carrying Korean-style semi-automatic rifles on their backs.

The camel corps that took the lead played a role no less useful than the armored vehicles.

In addition, reinforcements were sent from Turkey, Iran, etc.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was an Islamic assembly.

The day Operation Saladin was launched.

I was staying in Jerusalem.

Because the Arab army’s communication facilities were poor, it was extremely frustrating not being able to receive information in real time.

But the worries were unfounded.

News of victory came one after another.

It was said to be a great victory with almost no casualties.

But I didn’t understand.

Even if we had the upper hand in numbers, how could we achieve such a great victory?

It was only after hearing the report of the Chinese general who had joined that I was able to understand what was happening.

The British policy was non-resistance.

It appears that they retreated without making any claims on the occupied areas.

Since there was no combat, it was natural that there were no casualties.

The absurdity of the tribal chiefs who talk about it as a legendary war blessed by Allah.

Now, after losing Egypt, even Libya has been lost.

Across North Africa, Britain is in a pinch.

What is the meaning of the unexpectedly introduced non-resistance operation when we are fighting desperately to defend the only remaining land bridgehead?

It’s been three days since Operation Saladin was launched.

The British troops that landed in Syria were pushed back and were barely able to hold on to the port city of Latakia.

A prominent politician from Jerusalem requested a meeting with me.

Normally, during a war, especially when military operations are in full swing, one would not engage in conversations with politicians.

When I heard his name, I couldn’t refuse.

We had a fight over Jerusalem before.

A leader of Zionist organizations around the world and a Jew who remains steadfast in Jerusalem after it was taken over by the Arab Federation.

It was Heim Weizmann.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you. I think it’s been 20 years.”

“yes.”

“General, it seems like nothing has changed. Do the yellow people have some kind of elixir of immortality?”

“Yes.”

“Oh! If you have such a great secret technique, please tell me about it.”

When I met Bytzman again, he seemed different than before.

The last time we faced each other, I clearly remember him yelling at me and swearing at me.

I wonder if my personality has become more mellow as I get older.

He was a typical Jerusalemite, stroking his white beard and sharing his wisdom.

“It’s nothing special. If you set a task in your heart that you must accomplish while you live, you will not grow old or die until you complete it.”

Baitman’s eyes lit up for a moment.

“If that’s true, my aging will stop. The god of death won’t be able to drag me to the afterlife…”

“Is there something that teachers have to do too?”

Instead of answering, Weitzman just laughed.

And then he brought up another topic.

“I came to see you, General, for no other reason than at the request of the British government.”

Of course I guessed it.

“What is Lloyd George?”

“I proposed a ceasefire.”

“What are the conditions?”

“Recognize our sovereignty over the sea.”

Our sea?

I felt a strange implication in those words.

“Are you talking about the Mediterranean?”

“exactly.”

“This isn’t just Lloyd George’s request.”

“The Allied leaders discussed and concluded.”

They are called the Allies, but in the end they are the Axis Alliance.

Although Britain suffered defeats in the Middle East and North Africa, it was the Axis powers of Spain, France, and Italy that were left exposed.

The origins of this war are open to interpretation.

The direct trigger was the Sino-Korean War.

The attempt to secure the Suez Canal using the tactics of the Amdo Jinchang Army was the trigger for the conflict.

However, with the outbreak of successive colonial wars, the front lines expanded day by day.

In this way, China could gain influence not only in the Suez Canal but also throughout the entire Mediterranean.

“The term sovereignty is ambiguous. What exactly are you asking for?”

“A special period is designated, during which time Chinese warships will not enter or leave the Mediterranean Sea.”

Is the dark mud already taking over?

The Coalition is restricting attack routes through the Mediterranean more than necessary.

As long as aircraft carriers and battleships cannot pass through the canal.

In any case, the maritime rights in the Mediterranean belonged to the Union.

There is no need to set any conditions.

“If we accept the ceasefire, what will be the benefit to China?”

“We will recognize China’s sovereignty over Egypt and Libya.”

No, not like this.

Just like Liu Xiang, Baitman also does not understand the nature of this war.

“We do not want sovereignty. We only want the independence of oppressed peoples.”

“Oh, of course. I mean, recognizing the independence of Libya and Egypt.”

“What about Indochina?”

“That too will be acknowledged, of course.”

“Malaysia too?”

“of course.”

“India too?”

The uninterrupted answer stopped here.

“India is special. As you know, General. The problem of India’s independence cannot be solved in a short period of time, so it must be solved gradually over time. Rather, it would be better to stop the current pointless war…”

Isn’t it just like the first time?

Churchill’s voice, crying that India cannot give up, lingers in my ears.

“Come back with lower conditions. That’s all for now.”

I leave Bytesman behind.

The newly appointed adjutant approached and whispered in my ear.

“The landing in Cyprus was successful.”

The ports of Cyprus, located off the coast of Palestine, were a thorn in the eye.

If the island of Cyprus were to enter the Arab world, it would truly be as good as making Jerusalem safe.

“Okay, let’s continue.”

“yes.”

I just finished talking with the adjutant.

At one point, only Bytes was standing at the door.

The faint smile had disappeared, and an old man with a shallow expression appeared.

“What? Do you still have something to say?”

Only Bytes spoke quietly.

“I know what you’re up to.”

“Hmm… That’s the topic of our conversation earlier. Yes, that’s right. I have a task that is like a destiny that I must complete.”

World peace.

“The world is destroyed.”

“yes?”

Baitman’s eyes flashed like those of a delirious patient.

“The task you must complete is the destruction of the world.”

“Oh, teacher. I thought you were better than a group of Christians like Shincheonji. Do you also think that I am the anti-Christ mentioned in the Bible?”

Only Bytz shook his head.

“I am not a religious person, I am a scientist. I believe only what I see and hear through experience and observation.”

“But what kind of nonsense are you talking about the end of the world?”

“Wuhan.”

“···?”

“Project.”

“···!”

I tried to control my facial expression so as not to show my embarrassment, but I couldn’t tell if it was working.

“Do not underestimate the intelligence power of the Jews. That project you are working on… that worst bomb… has the power to literally destroy the world.”

How far can the power of nuclear weapons using nuclear fission extend?

The dangers of the atomic bomb, an unknown territory, were greatly exaggerated by Dr. Weizmann, a scientist.

But not to that extent, sir.

The atomic bomb is a monster, but it is a baby monster, and its destructive power will be limited to ending wars.

“The terms of the Alliance were not very attractive. I know that. So, in the name of the Jews who have wandered for thousands of years to protect the world, I will propose new terms.”

But what is this guy talking about?

As I swallowed, Bytzman swallowed too.

“Grant Jewish autonomy in Palestine, and the Jewish connections around the world will support China.”

Huh?

This story is taking a strange turn.

As if my reaction was lukewarm, Bytzman continued.

“We don’t need to be independent. We are satisfied with being a member state of the Arab Federation. If you are worried about assimilation with the Arabs, I am a living witness. I have lived in Jerusalem as a Jew for over 20 years.”

“Sir, haven’t you come to propose a ceasefire on behalf of the Union?”

“Let’s say there are multiple purposes.”

I burst out laughing.

“You think China will win the war?”

“I think it will be so if the general’s mission is successfully completed.”

“No, what if I really destroy the world?”

“If the Jews of the Diaspora can regain their homeland, I don’t care if the world is destroyed.”

Baitman was seriously making a deal with me.

If you think about it, his position becomes understandable.

The status of Jews in Europe was not high.

There was little difference in the persecution suffered by Chinese and Jews.

Since I love money and often work in the financial industry, the hatred I receive is similar.

The Pope declared a crusade and promised to reclaim Jerusalem and resettle the Jews.

His intention is not for the Jews.

This is also fundamentalism.

Because the Bible records the return of the Jews, and prophesies that after the return, the Antichrist will appear, massacre the Jews, and then destroy them.

In other words, I promoted the migration of Jews to Jerusalem by offering sacrifices that would die at the hands of Hanshin.

It would be absurd and bitter just with Bytes alone.

“teacher.”

“I’m listening.”

“Some people call this war a racial war or a religious war, but I don’t think that’s necessarily the case. I believe that I can be friends with anyone who believes in the values ??of republicanism and freedom, regardless of skin color or religion.”

There are quite a number of Jews living in Jerusalem.

When I took office as governor, the religious council, which was a proper mix of Judaism and Islam, was still functioning well.

In fact, Arab hatred toward Jews in Jerusalem was not that great.

If anything, the hatred towards Europe would have been even worse.

When he briefly served as governor of Jerusalem.

I dreamed of a city where two peoples could interact and coexist.

As part of this, we focused on building infrastructure with interoperability in mind.

It’s been about 20 years, so it’s about time we started seeing the results.

The founding of the nation of Zion.

We dream of a peaceful establishment of a state through the parliament of the Arab Federation, rather than through a coercive method like Israel.

“If you are willing to join forces and fight together under the banner of anti-imperialist and anti-colonialism, I am also positive about the plan for Jewish housing in Palestine that you mentioned.”

Jerusalem, stained with blood, is rebuilt as a symbol of reconciliation.

If I think of the tribal chiefs holding a sword in one hand and a Quran in the other, I wonder if that would work.

Looking at Bytesman’s earnest expression standing before my eyes, I think it’s not impossible.

“Good! Zion will support China!”

“Of course it is not certain. It is something that requires the permission of the Caliph.”

“The Caliph is the one who watches over the Jews. He will surely grant it. I am only asking you this because I know the harsh international situation and the new nation needs the guarantee of a powerful nation to be viable.”

Let’s stay still.

If the Jews sided with China, suddenly endless strategic and tactical possibilities would open up?

“Is there a direct line of communication with the British government in Jerusalem?”

“No, I’m not. I’m contacting you through Greece.”

“Tell Lloyd George that I accept the ceasefire.”

“Huh? Isn’t it true that Zion can be built only if we continue to advance and take control of the Mediterranean?”

Because that doesn’t work.

Securing the Mediterranean Sea cannot be achieved with just a small naval or air force.

If we start a war in the Mediterranean without warning, it will cost ten times more than the war in North Africa.

Some groundwork was needed.

The wave of national self-determination sweeping the world is increasingly moving in a direction favorable to China.

If things continue this way, the empires face the risk of losing all of their colonies in Africa and Asia.

In the end, the West and the East are destined to fight again.

The Middle East and North Africa as a whole were only a precursor.

The current ceasefire is a brief respite.

It is a period of intense training to somehow recover stamina right before the start of the main round.

In addition, international Jews, including Weizmann.

Even if the Axis powers are not aware of it, Britain and the United States have a number of high-ranking Jews who could be put to use.

You don’t know how much money it takes to plant a single spy in an enemy country.

If you are already a fully-fledged spy, you will be a tremendous secret weapon in the coming war.

“The Mediterranean will eventually become our sea. Until then, there is work you must do, teacher.”

Although the term our sea was used in the same way.

It had a different meaning than before.

It meant the Eastern sea, not the Western sea.

“Just talk.”

“You must go to London. There you must lobby to overthrow Lloyd George’s government.”

If Britain leaves, the odds are in China’s favor.

I am confident that I can end the Axis alliance of the three brothers of Gaenodap within six months.
