From ancient times to the present, palace fighting has always been extremely cruel, and the principles of human nature and ethics are floating clouds in front of the palace fighting drama!

Sibling cannibalism is trivial, and it is common for fathers and sons to fight each other before, not to mention the killing between relatives, framing and framing, and crowding out and framing are even more pediatric.

From ancient times to the present, it has been staged all over the world, as long as it is human society, for money, status and power, the drama of palace fighting has not stopped since it entered the class society.

The bloody slaughter of the Xuanwumen Revolution of the Tang Dynasty opened the rule of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and the Nine Dragons of the sons of the old boys of Kangxi consolidated the rule of the Manchus.

The competition between the three brothers of Li Tang and the two gangs is about to end in killing, and this is all fucking born to a mother, and even a group of underage nephews will not be spared!

Although Kangxi's more outstanding and older nine sons have both half-fathers and half-mothers, although the battle for the heir is not as murderous as Li Shimin's Xuanwu face, but the various tactics used for the throne are absolutely yin and ruthless enough, and the settlement of accounts after the autumn will never leave any trouble.

Three people and two gangs can tell the winner if they fight together, and the melee between nine people has to be a big drama of wits and strength, so how should it be played if it is a palace fight between thousands of heirs to the throne?

It's hard for normal people to imagine how this play should be sung, but don't worry, the modern Saudi royal family can tell you how this thing should be played.

The general monarchies in the modern world basically have perfect rules for succession to the throne, and they can sit in a row and eat the fruits, without too much intrigue.

For example, the unlucky Prince Charles, the old queen has been on standby for a long time, but no matter how many years he has to wait to succeed to the throne, he is always in the position of the first heir.

The second in line is his eldest son, and the third is his younger son, and when the eldest son has a child in the future, Charles's youngest son's succession to the throne will automatically be pushed down one place.

To put it bluntly, Lao Tzu passed on his son, and his son passed on his grandson, which is simple, refreshing and refreshing.

But Saudi Arabia's system of succession to kings is troublesome, and it doesn't even explicitly stipulate that since the death of the founding monarch Ibn Saud, the throne has been inherited among more than 30 of his sons, which is similar to the succession system of the Xiongnu Shan Yu 2,000 years ago.

It is not passed down from father to son, but from brother to brother.

This system of succession was problematic in the Xiongnu era, often accompanied by killings, typically when Wang Zhaojun's son was killed by his youngest half-brother, who did not want to pass on the throne to his younger brother after his death, but to his own son.

Today's Saudi royal family does not have such trouble for the time being, but they can already meet that they are about to fall into the strange circle of "gerontocracy": when these old people are almost dead, the problem of inheritance similar to the Huns should explode!

Zhang Nan knows that in 2015, Salman, the new successor to the throne of Saudi Arabia, was 80 years old, and one of his elder brothers, the previous king, was even older when he took power, at the age of 81!

Ibn Saud founded the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932, and until Zhang Nan's rebirth more than 80 years later, the Saudi throne was still passed between the second generation of members of the royal family, the sons of Ibn Saud.

The old king can give birth, the successor kings can also give birth, and the princes can all give birth.

One gives birth to twenty or thirty sons, and after two or three generations, the population will be terrifying, and there will be thousands of princes, but there is only one throne, and the power struggle will intensify within the royal family.

But there must always be an heir to the throne, and the Saudi king has to designate a slightly younger brother as the crown prince in advance, but when the second generation of princes is almost hanging, the crown prince of this core group is estimated to be seventy or eighty, and the identity will not be the king's son, but his nephew.

It's not a big problem for the second-generation members to rank one by one, and when the second generation only has the last one left, can this nephew still sit on the throne of the prince?

Dream!

This is a huge family joint-stock company, who wants to give the shares of the chairman and the largest shareholder to his nephew but not to his own son?

There is only one throne, and most third-generation princes think that they can't take their turn and can't compete for the throne, so they will naturally retreat and strive for more interests in the royal family.

If you want to be rich, you also need power to protect your interests, but now the shares of the Saudi royal family are divided into pieces, the "wealth gap" between the princes is huge, and the conflict of interests within the royal family is no less fierce than the competition for the throne of the king.

There are so many shares of neuropathy, and there are definitely a lot of people who are blushing at this, Zhang Nan will say: "Let people sort out the relationship between that idiot in the family, and then contact the top level of Saudi Arabia through our resource group to see if we can find a reliable ally."

There must be a lot of people who want to do this thing for the money of black fools, and we have to get our face back, and we have to have the cooperation of enough heavyweights in the Saudi royal family, or simply borrow a knife to kill people..."

The idea is good, it is difficult to operate, and it requires the cooperation of many aspects, so it is said that it is not urgent, but Zhang Nan wants to be as fast as possible.

I can't remember, the plane still has to fly for about ten hours, and then wait until it arrives in New York.

……

The plane stopped in San Francisco for refueling, took off again, and finally arrived at its own airport in New York after half a day.

The range of the Boeing 767 is that it can fly over the Pacific Ocean, but it is still not as long as the An-124 giant transport plane, which is less than half loaded in the cargo hold, which flies directly from Ulaanbaatar to Long Island in the direction of the Earth's rotation.

When Zhang Nan stepped off his private jet, the An-124 had already been unloaded, and it would have been on the tarmac for maintenance and inspection after a long-haul flight.

The shipping containers that arrived in the United States would be temporarily stored in the airport's warehouse, and Zhang Nan did not like to bring a large number of items found in the grave to his home.

The restoration of a large number of cultural relics cannot be carried out in a hurry, and it will take time to gather experts in the restoration of cultural relics from West Asia and Europe, and it will not begin until the end of the year, or even early next year.

He also has a lot of things to do, first of all, he has to meet with Mr. Zipper, pay attention to the matter of recovering face, and other things such as letting people fight with Spain and Colombia can only be regarded as small things.

A few days after arriving home, Zhang Nan met with Mr. Zipper, who arrived in New York to promote his political views for the election, and participated in Mr. Zipper's campaign rally as an unprecedented guest of honor, showing his support for him.

Not only did he participate in each other's activities, but Zhang Nan also invited Mr. and Mrs. Zipper to visit his first museum that was about to open for free and public welfare.

On October 2nd, Zhang Nan and his wife arrived at the private military museum next to the west wall of their airport, where some of the collections are extremely "precious"!

……

The museum is about to open to the public, and the Zippers can be regarded as the first guests invited to visit, as soon as the motorcade enters the museum walls, the Zippers have a little delusion: is it not into the territory of the Russians!

The main building of the museum is a three-storey structure, covering a very large area, and many places on the first floor of the wall are glass curtain walls, which are modern in style, and here is also a huge outdoor exhibition area.

It gives the illusion that there are old American-made tanks on the left and right on the high pedestals on both sides of the gate: an M26 heavy tank and an M4 medium tank.

Anyone who sees those two big guys from a distance before entering the door will have the illusion that most of the exhibits on display inside should be American-style local equipment.

But as soon as you enter the museum, it feels like a nearly 180-degree turn: from the BT-7 fast tank, the T-26 light tank to the T34-76 to the T34-85, the Stalin-2, the 3 and other famous old Soviet tanks of World War II, there are also several armored vehicles of that era, which look still Soviet-style.

The old tanks are not very conspicuous, and the modern concept of T54/55, T72, and T80 is all together, as if they broke into the parking lot of some Russian tank unit.

For the election, the Zippers had to come to the museum first, and even if the museum was open to the public, the couple would go to Mr. Allen's private estate in private.

In front of me, the Soviet-style equipment is piled up, fortunately, look everywhere, where the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth German tanks are all there, and the latter two are the famous Leopard and Tiger tanks.

In addition to tanks, there are also many artillery pieces in the open-air exhibition area, most of which are Soviet-style and American-style heavy artillery, and there is even a Soviet-made 152 mm km52 anti-aircraft gun!

After seeing the environment he belonged to, Mr. Zipper swallowed his throat unconsciously: it was not because of any pressure on him from these exhibits, but that these equipment that had obviously been well maintained and treated with waterproof and rust protection cost a lot of money!

He was not born in the second generation of officials or the second generation of riches, he was not born poor, but he was born in a common ordinary family, which will know that this pile of equipment is not cheap when it comes together: collecting them into a piece is not only a matter of money, but also a sufficient network, and it takes a lot of energy.

It is impossible for Mr. Allen to run around and collect it himself, and the price of having someone do it for him is that it will cost more money.

Zhang Nan had already gotten out of the car, and walked to the side of the two accompanied by Nicole, and Mr. Zipper said, "Mr. Allen, your museum is very good!"

This is not a boast, but to tell the truth, just looking at the outdoor exhibition area, you can know that the scale of the museum's collection is not comparable to that of ordinary small and medium-sized military museums.

"Alan, Alan. Zhang Nan replied with a smile, "Let's go, William, Hillary, let's go to the indoor exhibition hall to have a look, there are some things in it that are difficult to see in other places." ”

Friends, the address can be more intimate, not so formal.

There is a lot of equipment outside, but it is really nothing to Zhang Nan, and there are a lot of good things inside.

Walk to the gate of the main building with a relaxed chat: the gate is very distinctive, it is a slope, this is because most of the wheeled and tracked equipment in the indoor exhibition hall on the first floor can be driven!

The indoor exhibition area is very large, with a lot of heavy equipment and first-class maintenance, and many tanks and armored vehicles are very small and expensive in existence.

There is a lot of old-fashioned equipment on the territory of the Soviet Union, and there is a lot of old equipment produced by the Soviet Union, some captured in the Great Patriotic War, most of the equipment in Europe, and some of the goods that Britain and the United States aided at the beginning.

There are also many collectors of military equipment in the Western world, and some of the other parts here are bought at a great price, and some are collected in the United States.

There are old equipment, and there are modern equipment, such as the 203-mm howitzer and the 152-mm howitzer equipped by the Soviet army!

Mr. and Mrs. Zipper lamented the enormity of the two giant self-propelled cannons, and they didn't realize one thing: most of New York City was within range of these two 2S7 self-propelled howitzers, including most of Manhattan!

In fact, even if he realized this, could it be that Mr. Allen would bombard Manhattan with these two giant cannons?

You're kidding me!

Two huge cannons can be activated, even if they are not activated, one of the two 2S7 self-propelled howitzers parked opposite the direction of the muzzle is a glass curtain wall, where it is easier to disassemble.

If you're in a hurry, throw an offensive grenade that doesn't rely on shrapnel and relies on a shockwave to quickly open the shelling channel: the muzzle is facing Manhattan!

And a 152mm towed howitzer here has a range of only 27.5 kilometers, which is not enough to reach Manhattan, but the place within its range is called New York!

This is the museum, next door is the airport, and there is a gate on the middle wall, and some equipment is airlifted here, and there is a gate to facilitate the transfer of exhibits.

And in an underground warehouse in the airport, there are 4 203-mm and 6 152-mm nuclear shells, the corresponding firing barrels and medicine kits, which can be fired in less than a minute if needed!

If nothing else, Mr. Zipper will be able to enter the White House in a few months: inviting the couple to visit their own private military museum as the first visitors can only be described as whimsical and daring!

By the way, take a group photo, this photo can be hung in the museum in the future, which is very good.

Killing Mr. Zipper would not have believed that there would be 10 Soviet-made nuclear shells just 300 meters away from him, and that New York and even the United States could be dragged into hell at the slightest moment!

The first floor is rich in collections, but there are also disadvantages, because there is no aviation equipment in the entire museum, it is only a land equipment museum.

After looking at the large equipment on the first floor, this is the second floor, where relatively light equipment is displayed, including a large number of equipment from the German army and the Japanese army during World War II.

There are goods on the road, and there are more scarce goods, and all kinds of people's submachine guns alone are not taken out by ordinary military museums.

It's a pity that Zhang Nan can't and won't use treasures like the **Marshal Scepter as exhibits here, let alone Hitler's pistols, those are all collections that can only be played secretly by himself.

There are many treasures on the second floor, but the most expensive in terms of value is not a murderous weapon, but a treasure that only exists after killing: a 12.5-kilogram gold brick, and two one-kilogram ones are placed on the side!

Hilary was curious about the two gold bricks in a glass display case, and asked Nicole, who was half a head taller than her, "Are these replicas or?"

Nicole smiled and said, "The real thing, Allen's baby, it cost several times the price of gold to get it."

Military museum, these gold bricks also represent a special era, isn't it..."
