Chapter 652： Cooperation with Jews (Part 2)

Latest website: Busy Constanta is still the largest port in Romania. Hundreds of millions of tons of goods are shipped to the world through this port every year. Of course, as the largest commercial port in Romania, this is also the first stop in Romania that many people choose.

David Ben Gurion looked at the various ships docking in the harbor, while speaking to the entourage who showed envy around him. "Don't worry, our country will not be inferior in the future."

Ben Gurion was born in Poland, his original name was Gaglin. When he was young, he was a passionate Zionist. He came to Palestine in 1906 and first of all he was a reporter. At the beginning of his political career he switched to the Jewish name Ben Gurion.

In 1915, he met his wife Paula Ben-Gurion from Russia in New York, USA. They married in 1917 and later they had three children together. They returned to Palestine in 1918, and in 1921 he organized the Israel Federation of Trade Unions. In 1930 he founded the Israeli Labor Party.

And this time his task is to contact Edel to see if he can get the support of Romania, and also to appreciate the strength of Romania by the way.

The Romanian staff responsible for receiving them soon came to them.

"Hello, Mr. Ben Gurion, this is Monar, and I am in charge of receiving you this time."

An official who greeted them introduced himself.

"Hello Mr. Monar, then I will follow your arrangements."

Facing the reception staff in Romania, Ben Gurion also responded politely. However, judging from the speech and behavior of these few, it should not be government officials. So in my heart, Ben Gurion was a little worried about whether he could reach a favorable agreement with Romania.

Yes, this reception was handled by the royal attendants. Because Edel does not want to make this reception known to everyone. It's embarrassing if the talks are done well, and if they don't, it's embarrassing.

As for Ben Gurion, he has long been used to this, because he has seen people who are even more unaccustomed, which is why he desperately wants the Jews to have their own country.

After picking up Ben Gurion and his party at the port of Constanta, they drove to Bucharest by car. Although the Romanians in charge of receiving them all the way were polite, no matter what Ben Gurion said, he couldn't get any useful information.

Just kidding, they were all from attendants, and if Ben Gurion's pediatrician confuses them, that would be a shame.

After a series of inspections, Ben Gurion finally met Edel.

"Hello, Mr. Ben Gurion."

Edel greeted him friendly as soon as they met.

"Hello, Your Majesty."

Compared with Edel, Ben Gurion is much more restrained.

But Edel turned a blind eye to this and directly stated the intention of his invitation this time. "Mr. Ben Gurion, the main purpose of my meeting with your Excellency this time is to help Jews in Palestine. I understand that the Jews in the area currently have a poor relationship with the local Arabs, and conflicts occur from time to time. This allows I am very distressed, so I plan to sell a batch of weapons to you to ensure the safety of the Jews there."

Edel said that he would send weapons to the Jews in Palestine against the Arabs. Of course, Ben Gurion was one hundred willing. But he also knows that there is no free lunch in the world, and since His Majesty Edel is so generous, he must have requirements for this.

"Thank your Majesty for caring about the Jews. We are deeply grateful to Romania for helping the Jewish community so selflessly. I don't know how we can help Your Majesty."

Seeing Ben Gurion on the road in this way, Edel also expressed his request. "That's right. I am very interested in Professor Einstein's theory of relativity. However, Romanian universities have invited him to give lectures in Romania many times. However, it may be that Professor Einstein is too busy to make the trip. So I hope to see it in person. Going to Professor Einstein, I believe this is also the hope of the Romanian scientific community. Of course, it is best for him to go to Romania to promote his theory. For this reason, we can also give some help in other ways."

For Edel's words, Ben Gurion certainly knew his intention to keep Einstein in Romania. But at present Einstein is a trump card for the Jews. If you don't ask clearly, how could he agree?

"Then Your Majesty, I don't know what kind of help you are talking about?"

Knowing that you want to ask, Edel immediately said that he could help. "Including diplomatic, military, and economic assistance to Palestinian Jews. Of course, if the results are satisfactory, then Romania can become a sanctuary for Jews to ensure that your compatriots will not be persecuted."

The answer given by Edel moved Ben Gurion a little, because the life of Jews in Europe is not easy at the moment. As Hitler came to power, Germany's intentions to hostile the Jews became more and more obvious. Except for Germany, there are also a lot of hostile behaviors against Jews in other European countries. At present, the Jews have few ways to deal with it, and at most shift to the United States, which has the least hostility.

But how can it be so easy to transfer, how to deal with assets. And many ordinary Jews don't have much savings at all. Like ordinary people of other ethnic groups, they need work to support their families.

And the United States is not a paradise. Although the Jewish power in the United States is pretty good, the Anglo-Saxons who control the U.S. government do not have much kindness towards the Jews. In addition to the British, the Germans are the largest nation in the United States. As for the Jews, they mostly play a role of steward or accountant in American society.

Therefore, although American Jews are relatively rich, they cannot give much help in supporting the establishment of a Palestinian state. Unless the United States walks out of isolationism and needs to use the Jews, then American Jews can take advantage of the trend to gain some benefits for it.

So this is also the reason why Edel's condition tempted Ben Gurion. At present, if the Jews want to restore their country in Palestine, they must get the support of major European countries. Although the most important thing is Britain, they cannot give up in other countries. Among other things, just providing weapons to Arabs can make the Jews uncomfortable. Because compared with the Arabs, the disadvantage of the Jewish population is almost impossible to compare.

So Ben Gurion felt that it was a big deal and it had to be discussed. "Your Majesty, this matter needs our board of directors to discuss it, and we cannot give a direct answer now."

"It's okay, I can wait for your news."

Sure enough, when Ben Gurion returned to his residence and informed the others of what Edel had said, the audience cheered. Ben Gurion also informed the other members of the council of Edel's request, and after a series of discussions, the Jewish Council decided to agree to Edel's request.

As for doing Einstein's work, it is not difficult for the Jewish Council at all.

So after a period of bargaining, an agreement between Romania and Jews was reached.

Romania will provide Palestinian Jews with weapons worth US$10 million In addition, the Romanian Military Academy provides 40 places for Jews every year. To this end, the Zionist Organization will pay 20 million U.S. dollars in funding.

In addition, Romania will guarantee that it will not persecute Jews and will also accept Jewish refugees. The Zionist Organization will provide 100 US dollars per person for food and shelter services provided by Romania.

In addition to allowing Einstein to come to Romania for teaching and research, the Zionist Organization will also mobilize other Jewish scientists to serve Romania.

In addition, when the Jews were founded, Romania will give recognition as soon as possible.

The signing of this agreement will provide a refuge for the Jews in the future. When Germany began to persecute Jews, a large number of Jews came to Romania through various channels. They not only helped Romania improve its technological and industrial capabilities, but also promoted Romania in art and other areas.

Of course Edel did not know that this agreement not only sent Einstein to Romania. In addition, Jewish scientists such as Edward Taylor have also persuaded the Zionist Organization to come to Romania and make great achievements in Romania’s nuclear research.
