(October 1956).
On the evening of July 26, 1956, Nasser of Egypt delivered a speech to a crowd of 250,000 in Alexandria, solemnly announcing the nationalization of the Suez Canal.
After talking for a while, the name of the Frenchman who dug the Suez Canal, "Delesses", was suddenly mentioned, and it was repeated more than a dozen times in a row, and people were a little surprised. At this moment, in Ismailia, where the Canal General Administration is located, an Egyptian engineer named Mahmoud and Younis was sitting in the car listening intently to the speech of **, and when he heard the name "Dele Seps" for the first time, he immediately turned off the radio and led his team to quickly take over the Canal General Administration. It turned out that this was the code name for the implementation of the action plan agreed in advance for Younis.
Nasser's voice shook the world. When the news reached London, Prime Minister Eden was holding a banquet at 10 Downing Street to entertain King Faisal of Iraq. When he learned the news, it was like a bolt from the blue, and his face immediately turned pale. He interrupted the banquet and hastily convened a core theory meeting, and met with the United States and French diplomatic representatives that night, and the French ** also panicked, exclaiming that Nasser had caused a "serious situation".
After the Egyptian people overthrew the Farouk dynasty in July 1952, the canal was not immediately returned to the Egyptian people. In October 1954, Britain and Egypt signed a withdrawal agreement, and Britain was forced to agree to withdraw its garrisons in the Canal Zone in batches over a period of 20 months. In June 1956, all troops withdrew from Egypt. But 96% of the Canal Company's ** was still in the hands of Britain and France. With the withdrawal of British troops in batches, Britain and France were not willing to abandon the canal, and tried their best to continue to maintain this "inseparable part" of their "Middle East oil complex". And Nassell's move undoubtedly brought a heavy blow to Britain and France.
After a period of careful planning, Britain and France teamed up with Israel to launch an armed invasion of love at the end of October, and the whole country of Egypt rose up to fight!
In the Suez Canal War,The United States has other plans. Through the United Nations, he demanded a ceasefire and withdrawal of troops from Britain, France, and Israel. The Soviets, on the other hand, played power tricks and speculated, first saying, "How can we interfere?" After finding out the attitude of the United States and learning that Britain and France were about to be forced to cease fire, Khrushchev suddenly wrote to Eisenhower on November 5 asking the Soviet Union and the United States to jointly send troops, and threatened that the Soviet Union was "determined to use force." The United States gave the Soviet Union "a tough and separate reply." He also warned that if the foreign ** team enters the Middle East, the United States will take effective countermeasures.
In the end, under the heroic resistance of the Egyptian people and the rebuke of the people of the whole world, Britain, France and Israel were embattled and forced to cease fire and withdraw their troops. In the Suez Canal War, the Egyptian people achieved a final victory.
Egypt was fortunate to be able to successfully recover the Isz Canal under the attack of the British, French and Israeli forces. Behind it is still the final product of the struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union for hegemony, if the Soviet Union did not interfere at that time and used Egypt's national strength to confront the Triple Alliance, the result is not easy to say!
Today's Palestinian-Israeli conflict has turned into a unilateral crushing posture by Israel against the Palestinians. There is no effective and systematic resistance to drive out the Israeli army. In addition, it is difficult to obtain more substantial external help. Now Israel can do whatever it wants, and no national or regional power can suppress the United States and restrain Israel's behavior. When a conflict breaks out, the first reaction of the United States is to send aircraft carriers to Israel's vicinity to make a noise, so as to virtually deter the possible formation of a military alliance by Arab countries to strike at Israel。Let me ask, if there is another superpower that can confront the United States at this time, will Israel still be so arrogant?
Resistance on a state-level scale is difficult to reappear in the current Palestinian-Israeli conflict, but the "lone wolf" attack is very activeAlthough it is difficult for Yemen and Lebanon to strike at Israel to have a military scale effect, it will further ease the unilateral pressure on Palestine, and the United States will eventually have to mobilize dedicated forces to deal with the negative impact of the "lone wolf" attack, which is also a good buffer for the rest of the world.
There are two tigers in the mountains, they can check and balance each other, and for other small animals, there is actually a good living environment. There is only one tiger, and it is impossible for the law of survival to pay attention to fairness and justice! But in terms of historical cycle rate, it is only a matter of time before this situation changes!
