#305. Just wait 20 years!

“haha…….”

“… … .”

“Hey, it’s just us… … .”

Joseph Kennedy also realized his slip of the tongue and made an excuse with an awkward laugh.

“What? Just us? Is this guy going to cause some serious trouble?”

“… … .”

“Joseph, you were a former senator, and you don’t know much about politics? If what you just said were to leak out of this room, would you be able to handle the consequences?”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”

“It’s not a matter of feeling sorry for me. You seem to have such thoughts subconsciously, Arthur. You’re going to end up in a room like that?”

“… … .”

“And the word ‘between us’ is the same. No matter how close I am to you, I am still the president of another country. Can you guarantee that I won’t use your words to threaten you when our country and the United States have conflicting opinions?”

“… … .”

Joseph’s face turned pale.

Only then did he seem to realize how fatal his words were.

“Of course I don’t think so, but you shouldn’t trust people so easily. Especially not when you’re in a position like yours, responsible for the United States, a world superpower.”

“I understand what you mean. And thank you for enlightening me, sir.”

“Okay, I understand, that’s enough.”

“yes…….”

“Drink. Drink and forget.”

“Hehehe! Yes.”

“Does your child find it funny?”

“Hehehe!”

“Heh heh heh!”

Lee Kang-cheol couldn’t help but laugh along with Joseph’s humor.

As if trying to change the mood, the two drank their whiskey straight up.

“Okay, let’s finish what we were talking about. Where on earth did they get those weapons?”

“That’s the point.”

“Huh? The key?”

“Because it is Israel that provides them with weapons.”

“Whoa! You’re crazy! You’re crazy!”

Israel, based in Algeria, supplies weapons to Jews remaining in Palestine?

If this were made known to the world, it would turn the entire Middle East upside down, and even Israel, which was based in Algeria.

No matter how prosperous Israel became after settling in Algeria, its neighbors are Morocco and Algeria.

These two countries are not the ragtag Middle Eastern military bastards that Israel originally faced.

The armies that are home to a large number of French conscripts are the Moroccan and Algerian armies.

In particular, Algeria was full of veterans who had gained practical experience in the struggle for independence before becoming completely independent, and even after parting ways amicably with France and becoming independent, it focused on strengthening its military power, making it a country with one of the strongest military forces not only in North Africa but also in neighboring Europe and the Middle East.

But now that life is a little better, you’re supplying weapons to the Palestinian Jews and plotting an uprising?

This is no different from an act of suicide.

Algeria is Algeria, but if it became known to the world that they had done something like this, no one in Europe would come to their aid.

“Why on earth do they do that? No, I gave them land in Algeria so they could live in peace, but why are they so obsessed with that cramped place? They’re going to kill and die again just like before… .”

“Huh? What are you saying? Kill and die like you always did?”

“Huh!”

The person who should have been careful with his words was Lee Kang-cheol himself.

I just said this because it was so absurd.

“No. I heard that before they settled in Algeria, they were killing and slaughtering Palestinians.”

“Oh, yes.”

“Anyway, why are you doing that?”

“In a way, it’s natural for them, especially the diehard Jews who remained in Palestine, because Jerusalem is there.”

“No, don’t I know that? That’s why Jerusalem is open to all people regardless of religion by UN resolution. They even created a separate synagogue and district for Jews.”

“Well, that doesn’t seem to satisfy you. You don’t like the idea of ​​pagans defiling the holy land.”

“This is crazy… … .”

Jerusalem is the first holy site in Judaism.

Not only that, it is also a holy place for Islam and Christianity, but its strength as a holy place is not as great as that of the first holy place, Judaism.

In any case, since it was a holy place for all three religions, when the creation of Algeria was proposed to the Jews, they promised to make Jerusalem an area that would be managed almost like a UN territory, and they accepted it.

Of course, the Palestinians agreed to this, because it was easier for them to hand over Jerusalem to UN control than to live under the oppression of the Jews.

I thought I handled it perfectly, but here I am again causing trouble.

“So what? Are you saying that you want to overthrow the current Palestinian government by force and take over the entire Palestinian territory? And that Israel is supporting it at the government level?”

“Not exactly at the Israeli government level. As you may know, the current Prime Minister, Ben-Gurion, is not religious. He is just a Zionist.”

“Wasn’t it the same whether you were a Zionist or a hardcore Jew?”

“It’s totally different. Zionism is a kind of nationalism. They also care a lot about Palestine, but they’re not as hardcore Jews.”

“Is that so? Then how did you provide the weapons? The Prime Minister doesn’t think it’s appropriate?”

“Because the positions of hardcore Jews within the Israeli government are not easy. So Ben-Gurion couldn’t just stop it. He was kind of a bystander. And he also seemed to have some hope.”

“You guys are crazy. Why would a country that was built with such difficulty take a chance? What are the chances of success?”

“That’s pretty high.”

“It’s pretty high? What are the Palestinian government forces doing?”

“Their level is a bit like that. They’re almost at the level of a cesspool. They’re not even the military.”

“… … .”

I don’t know how Palestine has always been so miserable, both then and now.

“Oh, damn it. Oh! I don’t know! Why are you bringing that up to me? We don’t care and we don’t want to care.”

“Hehehe! Why are you like this?”

“What are you talking about? Why is it like this?”

“You’re already involved, and now you’re backing out?”

“What? You’re already involved?”

“I heard everything.”

“what?”

“Hey, you said it was you who proposed the establishment of an Israeli-Algerian state?”

“Who, who said that? Who is making such accusations?”

“This is Uncle Harry.”

“… … .”

I guess this kid calls everyone uncle.

Anyway, that wasn’t the important thing.

“Look at me leaving this guy alone. If I just look at him… … .”

“Whoa, whoa! Don’t be like that. I was already really nervous about what you’d say. And why is Harry being so picky about you?”

“… … .”

With the best retirement health care at stake, there was no way I wouldn’t be nervous.

I could never tell Joseph though.

“You damn human. Did Harry say anything else?”

“He didn’t say anything else. He just told me to ask him if I had any concerns. Oh, but only if it wasn’t related to the national interests of the Republic of Korea.”

“… … .”

Harry Truman rolled his eyes.

Since he could not break his promise, he could not tell the next president the truth about the expeditionary force.

However, because he did not want to blow the opportunity to get advice from someone who knew the future, he told Lee Kang-cheol to keep asking him questions, under the condition that it would “not be related to the national interest of the Republic of Korea.”

“Ah! This human is just… …!”

“… … .”

“Ha, okay. What do you want from me? It doesn’t seem like I have much advice to give you in this case. You know that we absolutely must not hand over Palestine to Israel, right?”

“I know.”

“But what’s the problem? You’re the President of the United States. Stop it, even if it means using force.”

“There’s a bit of a tricky problem.”

“What are you talking about? The US President is going to do it now, and it’s not without a justification, so which country would dare to oppose it?”

If you do something so rude, it is an issue that can be punished in the name of the UN.

This is a clear violation of the UN resolution.

“It’s not outside, it’s inside.”

“Huh? Not outside, but inside?”

“These days, Jewish power is quite strong, especially in our Democratic Party.”

“What the heck! Has it gotten to that level already?”

“Huh? What are you talking about?”

“Huh! That’s right!”

Lee Kang-cheol kept clicking his tongue at the unexpected situation.

Because I didn’t know that the power of Jewish American citizens had already risen to this level.

Jews were not treated particularly well in America until the early 20th century.

Until the 19th century, they were a complete minority, and later on, they were treated almost like people of color, to the point where they became targets of the KKK.

But this changed as the number of pages increased.

No, as the number of people increased, discrimination also worsened, but that was only for a short time.

Millions of Jews fled to the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, fleeing anti-Semitism in the Russian Empire and Eastern Europe, and a second wave came during Hitler’s rise to power, also fleeing persecution.

As the Jewish population grew, they began to infiltrate the American mainstream with their innate intelligence and sincerity, and by the end of World War II, it was difficult to see discrimination against Jews in American society anymore.

And then, before we knew it, their political influence had grown to the point where it was troubling the American president.

This was something unimaginable even during the Roosevelt era, and even during the Truman era just before that.

Lee Kang-cheol thought for a moment and then opened his mouth again.

“Joseph.”

“yes.”

“Listen to me. Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories is absolutely unacceptable. No matter what pressure you receive from Jewish Americans, you absolutely cannot do it! Do you understand?”

“No, you didn’t have to say it so bluntly… … .”

“No, I have to say this bluntly. If we leave this alone and Israel and its diehard followers eat Palestine, what do you think will happen?”

“I know there will be some confusion for a while, but what’s the big deal?”

“Yeah, something big happened.”

“yes?”

“If Israel eats Palestine, the whole area will become hell. And no one will be able to solve it in the future.”

“Why, when we have America?”

“I say this because America will be their strongest supporter.”

“That’s ridiculous. There’s no way our country, the United States, would do that.”

“Sigh, am I going crazy?”

When the president is replaced by someone who doesn’t know the identity of the Republic of Korea, this problem arises.

“Joseph.”

“yes.”

“Harry didn’t really say anything else? Like, if I make a promise, you should believe me unconditionally… .”

“Ah! He said. If the old man ever mentions the word ‘guarantee,’ he should just follow it without asking questions or questioning. He should even believe it if the shit smells good… .”

“Hey, dirty!”

“… … .”

“Anyway, I guarantee this to you. If you neglect this, you’ll be at the top of the list of stupid presidents even after you’re dead.”

“Eek!”

“The power of Jewish Americans? Dude, wait 20 years! It will be Jewish Americans who will run America! Got it?”

“… … .”

Joseph Kennedy’s face turned white.

Even though I drank quite a bit of whiskey.
