Chapter 290

Thus, the military turned its gaze to the other nations of North Yue.

John Bull, Gao Lu's internal chaos, and Han Si all issued statements.

O Meng approved the first batch of weapons aid worth 1.2 billion euros.

The O Meng chairperson further claimed that combating terrorist organizations like Hamas, which threaten the world, is an inescapable responsibility of O Meng.

He called on all O Meng nations to unite and assist the Yi army through this crisis.

Do not allow the risk of war in the Middle East to spread further.

However, his statement was not universally endorsed within O Meng.

At the special O Meng meeting convened to address the Middle East war,

many national leaders fell into heated arguments.

Many O Meng nations had no interest in simultaneously intervening in the wars in Syria and Palestine.

Nevertheless, O Meng ultimately prepared to provide a total of 5 billion euros in military aid to assist the Yi army.

As for Chou Guo,

sorry! O Meng nations have no interest in aiding this war-monger.

In fact, many O Meng leaders secretly wished Chou Guo would suffer a Vietnam-style war in the Middle East.

Better yet, let this war exhaust Chou Guo completely.

A weakened Chou Guo actually serves the interests of some O Meng member states.

Otherwise, a powerful Chou Guo is too oppressive to O Meng nations.

Although O Meng nations have always followed Chou Guo's lead, they do not wish to remain mere followers forever.

The European continent has its own glory.

But in the past, due to Chou Guo's overwhelming dominance, the European continent struggled to speak up under such oppression.

Yet if Chou Guo is weakened, this may not be a bad thing for O Meng.

As for the former troublemaker of the European continent, the fallen John Bull,

this fellow has been constantly pushing for Brexit; O Meng nations, especially Han Si and Gao Lu, are only too happy for him to leave O Meng.

At least then, they wouldn't have to worry that John Bull's involvement in the Syria war

would drag the entire O Meng into the quagmire.

Over the next two days, the Israel-Palestine conflict continued.

Long Guo's Central Mother News frequently reported on this matter.

The program "Long Guo Public Opinion Field," even before the Syria-Chou Guo Alliance had launched its attack,

had long kept the hearts of Long Guo's people gripped by the Israel-Palestine conflict.

However, the guest, Director Zhang, had been feeling awkward these days.

A few days ago, he claimed the Chou army would not attack Syria.

Yet soon after, the Chou army sent three aircraft carrier battle groups to the Red Sea.

Then, on the program "Long Guo Public Opinion Field," he personally stated that Syria could never shoot down Chou Guo's F22 Raptor fighter jets,

yet they actually did—three of them, in fact.

As a result, the Chou army now dares not deploy large-scale air combat.

Well, this could still be explained: Syria hired DWS Platform to act—it's not Syria's achievement, but the strength of our Long Guo weapons.

But he made two consecutive incorrect predictions.

This led domestic audiences to feel that his title as Director of the Strategic Deception Bureau was utterly deserved.

Whenever he confidently says something won't happen, it inevitably does.

So, to save face, Director Zhang now gives ambiguous answers to similar questions.

"Mr. Zhang, a netizen left a comment saying that in this Israel-Palestine conflict, Israel is actually at a disadvantage—it's incredible! The netizen wants to know how Professor Zhang interprets this!"

Hearing the host say this, Director Zhang replied:

"This is actually easy to understand. This Israel-Palestine conflict differs from all previous ones; Hamas has clearly prepared for a long time,

while Israel was caught off guard and revealed many shortcomings.

Although Israel possesses powerful military equipment, many factors determine the outcome of war—

preparation before battle, determination during combat, and the soldiers' convictions, among others.

I do not agree with the view held by many that weapons alone decide victory—that whoever has more advanced weapons will surely win.

If that were true, then all sides would simply display their weapons at the start of war and skip fighting altogether.

Moreover, if that were true, our nation could never have won the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

So while netizens find this Israel-Palestine conflict incredible, I find it perfectly normal:

The Palestinians, through their conviction and preparation, have forced Israel to pay a heavy price in this war!"

After a while, the host asked Professor Zhang:

"One netizen asks Professor Zhang: what do you think will be the final outcome of this Israel-Palestine conflict?"

Upon hearing this, Director Zhang's butt clenched tight.

Another multiple-choice question: will Palestine win or Israel win?

If judged by military competence, weaponry, and wealth,

there's no doubt Israel should win—but Professor Zhang felt he couldn't say that.

So he replied:

"Who will ultimately prevail is hard to say—it depends on a combination of factors,

such as whether Chou Guo offers support, or whether the DWS Platform intervenes, and so on."

"Oh, Professor Zhang thinks the DWS platform will act again this time!" the host asked with interest.

"It's hard to say, but if Syria can hire the DWS platform, why not Hamas? On the contrary, we should treat such incidents as a normal occurrence in the future!"

"!" Zhang Juzuo smiled mysteriously.
