Chapter 491 Israel's Attitude
"The situation in Iran is very unoptimistic now, and we must come up with a practical solution," said Israeli Prime Minister Begin.
The situation of the Iran-Iraq War attracted the attention of another country in the Middle East, which is Israel in the northwest!
"Now, Iraq has gained a comprehensive advantage in the war against Iran. On the ground, Iran has been occupied by Khuzestan Province. Their main economic income has been cut off, with only some oil drilling platforms on the sea and agricultural products and blankets such as pistachio to maintain their income. Their war potential has been consumed by Iraq. Moreover, Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has not only failed, but has also aroused strong opposition from all countries." said the new Minister of Defense Itzhak Rabin.
After the tragic death of the tough Salon in the Lebanese War, Rabin took over as Israel's defense minister, a year earlier than history.
Rabin's military career could last from World War II. After that, Rabin had accumulated his position in the war. During the first Arab-Israel War in 1948, he served as the commander of the "Harrell" brigade, and became famous in the battle of opening up the transportation line in Jerusalem. During the armistice, he was the commander of the "Negoff" brigade. From 1950 to 1952, he served as the Minister of Operations of the General Staff of the Israeli Army. From 1953 to 1954, he studied at the Canterbury Staff College in the United Kingdom and returned to China.
Later, he served as Minister of Military Training of the General Staff of Israel from 1954 to 1956 and was promoted to Major General. From 1956 to 1959, he served as Commander of the Northern Military Region, Director of the Operations Bureau and Deputy Chief of General Staff from 1959 to 1963, and as Chief of General Staff from 1964 to 1968. He was Prime Minister of Israel from 1974 to 1977, but he was dismissed because of a scandal and did not re-appoint himself as Minister of Defense until 1984.
But in later generations, Rabin, who was in power and had a lifetime of military service, became the main promoter of peace in Palestinian and Israel and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. His words still make people feel deeply touched: "I am a soldier, and I was the Minister of National Defense. Believe me. The shouts of tens of thousands of demonstrators are far less than the shock of the tears of a mother who died in battle. I am a person who has experienced bloody battles, so I want to find a way out for peace. This is a turning point, although it is also a crisis..."
Rabin was finally assassinated by right-wing elements and became the first prime minister to be assassinated.
However, now, Rabin is more war in his heart.
In later generations, Israel had already taken advantage of it, but now Israel has suffered several losses.
They are all observing the situation in the Middle East, and they are going to influence the development of the war!
"The fortifications in northern Iraq are very fierce. If their northern cluster breaks through the northern mountainous areas and enters the central part, then Tehran will be very dangerous, and it is even possible to be taken down by Iraq. Khomeini has no help." Rabin continued.
"If Iran is defeated, then Iraq's strength will expand dramatically, and now Iraq's status and prestige in Arab countries are increasing significantly. Saudi Arabia has always been very supportive of Iraq. If Iraq defeats Iran, it is likely to turn around and talk about our issue with Palestine." Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir said.
The entire Arab world is opposed to the existence of Jews here. Under the dual military and political offensive of Israel, the Arab boss, Egypt retreated. But now Iraq has a faint sense of replacement. With Iraq's current momentum, if Israel does not provoke it at that time, they may also provoke it. This is a shortcut for the boss in the Arab world.
"So. From various perspectives, we must support Iran. However, Khomeini is not at our mercy. Although we have helped him countless times, Khomeini has no favoritism for us at all. In the last hostage incident, Iran did not give us any face. This supreme spiritual leader is a very dangerous person." Mossad Director Neham Edmoni said.
Unlike other Mossad directors, the sixth Mossad director, Neham, was the first leader to emerge from within Mossad.
In the mouths of Mossad internal personnel, Neham is a "person without personality", an "ordinary person" and an "official". However, 53-year-old Neham has been promoted from the lowest level through his own efforts. He is cautious and persevering. Although he is not an adventurer, nor a killer, and has never been exposed to any specific action planning, he works hard and is very diligent, and has won everyone's respect.
Moreover, he really wants to make some achievements.
"Then do you mean?" Begin asked.
"We can build another obedient Iranian agent, for example, Abel Hassan, who has fled to France," said Neham.
"That's absolutely impossible, his influence is not great enough," Begin said. "We must fully support Khomeini through this difficulty. Although he is not under our control, we have no other choice, because he is still the supreme spiritual leader of Iran and has a great influence among the people of Iran. When the time is right, we can support others, such as Aber."
“When is the time?”
"When our nuclear weapons are developed!" said Begin.
Nuclear weapons! When it comes to nuclear weapons, these people are familiar with them. Israel is determined to become a major power and to gain a foothold in the Middle East. Nuclear weapons are necessary. Although the United Nations stipulates that only five permanent members can have nuclear weapons, Israel has never taken the UN resolution seriously.
Since Israel secretly introduced nuclear reactors in the 1950s, it has been developing nuclear weapons, because only with nuclear weapons can it have deterrent power in the Middle East. Although Iraq will not be afraid of Israel's intimidation, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and other wealthy countries will definitely not want mushroom clouds to ignite on their heads. As long as they are subject to nuclear threats, then the scene of multiple Arab countries fighting Israel together in history will not appear. It is much easier to deal with Iraq alone.
Israel can gain a foothold in the Middle East and gradually become stronger, relying on force!
In the war invading Lebanon last year, the Israeli army suffered great losses, and even the Minister of Defense was killed in battle. While they were recovering, they were also stepping up their pace to enter the nuclear weapons club.
However, now seeing Iran is so weak, they may not be able to hold on, so they have to start discussing countermeasures.
"Our nuclear weapons will take at least one year to succeed. Only by letting Iran persevere for another year can we have enough ability to deter the entire Arab world. Otherwise, we may be in trouble without Iran as a buffer." Begin said.
"We need to provide substantial help so that Iran can withstand Iraq's attack." Begin said, who had made up his mind.
When everyone heard the word substantive, they knew in their hearts that the Prime Minister had made up his mind this time.
"Iran has been sanctioned by the whole world, and its weapons have lost their source. We should provide them with a large number of weapons." Rabin said: "At present, Iraq's offense is mainly in mountainous areas. In this terrain, Iraq's heavy equipment cannot be effectively utilized. We can provide Iran with a large number of weapons such as rocket launchers and anti-tank missiles, so that the Iranians can block Iraq's offense in the mountains."
"We have provided it once, but the Iranians have not posed much threat to Iraq," Begin said.
"What does the Prime Minister mean?" Rabin asked.
"We also need to provide greater help to Iran," Begin said. "For example, we can send some personnel to help Iran master mountain combat skills so that they can create greater resistance to Iraq's offense."
After hearing Begin's words, many people were stunned. The Prime Minister's plan was even bolder. If he did this, wouldn't it mean that Israel would also join the war?
“If we do this, we will face many problems, such as diplomatic aspects…” Shamir said: “We sent our own troops to fight directly with Iraq, and we did not declare war on Iraq.”
"We're not going to fight, we're just in the rear, like Tehran, helping them train people," Begin said.
“Will Iran listen to us?”
"I believe they will." Begin said. Iran now has no support. No matter how stubborn Khomeini is, he will not want this precious support, and then wait for it to destroy the country, right?
"Actually, we have another way." At this time, Neham spoke again.
"Tell me," said Begin. He also knew that his proposal just now was a little shocked, but this was the best solution he could think of.
"You should have heard of the power alternation in Iraq recently?" Neham asked.
"Yes."
"Now, Iraq's main power is concentrated on Kusai, and President Saddam has retreated to the second line. With President Saddam's character, would he hand over power to Kusai so obediently? So, although we have not found out yet, the power struggle between Baghdad's top leaders will definitely be very chaotic." Neham said: "Among these people, although Kusai has already grasped power and has military achievements, his prestige is still not enough to convince the public. As long as we kill Kusai, the situation in Iraq will definitely become chaotic."
"Will Saddam come out to interfere?" Shamir asked.
"Do you believe that President Saddam at the Palace of Republic is really his person?" Neham asked with a smile.
