Not far from Gaza, on the outskirts of Jerusalem, the German Middle East Corps was violently shelling their targets.
Not far from the Wailing Wall, a cannonball fell, hitting a local loess building and shattering an entire corner of the building.
"Boom!" Huge explosions spread along the streets and alleys, a tragic image of the end of the world.
German shelling began yesterday, and the attacking forces quickly bypassed the perimeter of Jerusalem and surrounded the holy city.
"Damn the Germans, why don't they play their cards according to common sense?" A man with a traditional Arabic turban wrapped around his head said angrily as he looked at his men.
"Maybe! But they never made any treaties with us. The other man shook his head dejectedly and said.
They had previously considered themselves the true masters of the land, and whether they were greedy British, or newcomers to Germany, they had no choice but to compromise with them.
But now they knew they were wrong, and they were wrong—the Germans were more warlike than they thought, and seemed to be a little more belligerent.
When their greed angered the German soldiers who had come from afar, their methods of negotiation were very new and primitive......
Primitively, as a thousand years ago, these Germans surrounded the city of Jerusalem; The advanced thing is that now this army has artillery, many, many artillery.
Since the end of the era of BMW and Machete, the Arab world no longer seems to be able to fight well.
In the face of the Germans' artillery and tanks, it only took one day for their troops to completely collapse.
The Arab armies, who had inherited the rifles and ammunition left behind by the British during the retreat, were taught the classic tank assault by the Germans.
The process of learning is often painful, and this phrase can be used not only to describe the final exams, but also to describe the Arab top at this moment.
"If, we give up some of our interests now, will the Germans stop attacking?" Suddenly, an Arab raised his head and asked the people around him.
"Maybe, I'd rather believe that they'll go on the offensive." The other replied bitterly.
If before the war began, he would not have believed that the Germans had the courage to open fire and attack! For he had an army of about 30,000 men stationed around Jerusalem.
But now, he would rather the war had not started - who would have thought that the 30,000 Arab army was so unbearable that it would be wiped out in a short time.
The problem now is that the cowardice of the Arab world has been seen through by the Germans, who are no longer the formidable desert troops of the Lawrence era.
Under these circumstances, how could the Arab ministries, having lost their negotiating flexibility, bring the Germans back to the negotiating table on their own?
Rommel shelled Jerusalem for only one day, and the Germans only captured 20,000 prisoners and killed about 2,000 Arab cavalry.
In fact, Rommel's war report did not even record the course of the battle in detail, only hastily wrote: "Exchanged fire with Arab troops, lost 7 men." That's just a word.
"Oh no! Oh no! An Arab officer stumbled in, looked at a room of people, and reported loudly.
"Shout what? The German siege of Jerusalem is annoying enough, what else is there to be so excited about? One of the leading men in the room scolded.
"Amman! Amman was occupied by the Germans! The officer, who had stumbled in, said loudly with a crying voice.
"What?" Staring at this subordinate, the Arab man led by him stood up and asked in surprise: "It's only been a day, and it's been lost?" ”
What he didn't expect was that in the face of a unit with a high proportion of heavy weapons like Germany, holding on to the city would undoubtedly be self-defeating.
If they had fled the desert, Germany might have had some more headaches. But when it comes to garrisoning cities, Germany has never been afraid.
Especially in the current battle where there are too many people and too few people to bully the others, it is enough to let the Italians rush to the front, and it is enough to clean up most of the Arab recalcitrants.
"In a few days, will the Germans go to Baghdad? Yes? He grabbed the officer's collar and asked loudly.
"What the Germans wanted, according to the plan they had proposed before, promised them!" A man spoke, expressing his opinion.
If you don't agree, you can't do it, just yesterday, the troops he was proud of were all wiped out, and now he has no troops for himself.
"If not, let Jerusalem, and let the Saudis give them and the Germans the vicinity of the Persian Gulf!" A man spoke, and said to the leaders of the group.
Now they are the direct victims, if they don't change their roles and turn themselves into the ones who watch the fun, the Saudi side will really have the last laugh.
"What if the Saudi side doesn't agree to these conditions?" The officer, who was being carried by the collar, asked with a trembling mouth.
"Don't say yes? Then we'll fight until he says yes! "These Arab guerrilla leaders, who have lost their capital, have long made up their minds to let Saudi Arabia lose some of its benefits.
Crabs rarely break free from the bamboo basket from which they are captured, and the reason for this is because they always have to shake their companions off their backs......
Now, the heads of the Arab world. He is about to start shaking his fellow citizens off his backs again.
Rommel, who was inspecting the outskirts of Jerusalem, was notified by the troops on the front line a few hours later.
It was said that there were a few Arabs with white flags who wanted to meet him, the commander-in-chief of the front.
The other side also talked about the purpose of this time: they intended to accept all the demands of Germany, and the cessation of the war by the German army was their only condition.
Lieutenant General Alfred looked at Rommel next to him, his eyes full of doubt. He didn't even know why these Arabs would agree to such harsh conditions so quickly.
Lieutenant General Alfred...... Do you think these Arabs are boring? They didn't agree to give them benefits before, but now they beat them, and they agree instead......" Rommel said to his chief of staff, looking at the black smoke of Jerusalem.
"I think they're really really boring." Hearing Rommel's question, Lieutenant General Alfred smiled and replied.
