Fang Mingyuan smiled but didn't answer, but Mark Tu covered the prince but frowned. As a member of the royal family of the United Arab Emirates, he was naturally able to see some of the secret information before ordinary people.

According to the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and other countries are not completely unified. As a result of Iraq's surprise attack on Kuwait, as many as 10,000 nationals of Shijie countries were detained by Saddam Hussein. These people have not been subjected to any abuse. But personal freedom is restricted. It can be said that he was placed under house arrest and cut off from his country.

And hearing Fang Mingyuan say this, Prince Maktum suddenly realized that there seemed to be several detention points. Quite close to important military-strategic targets in Iraq! What does Sada Yao want to do?

Fang Mingyuan looked at Prince Abdullah and Prince Maktum with different expressions and frowned. In my heart, I was thinking back to the information I had seen in my previous life about the hostage crisis in the Gulf War. These days. He has also been following the evolution of the situation in Iraq, at least until now. Sadayaw has not yet officially announced that he will use the citizens of these Western countries as human shields in those important military targets in Iraq and Kuwait. to stop possible bombing by the US military.

In the previous life, the occupation of Kuwait became a fait accompli in order to avoid war, sanctions and occupation. Iraq has taken active diplomatic action and played the "hostage card". It's a compelling strategy. It can be said that the hostage crisis created by Sada's thumb can be said to have shocked the entire Shijie.

The hostage crisis was the most exciting event in the entire Gulf War, and I wonder how many kind-hearted people secretly prayed for these innocent people detained in Iraq and Kuwait, hoping that they would be able to return to their hometowns safe and sound.

What Saddam Hussein thought at that time, I am afraid that no one but himself could say clearly.

However, whether this hostage crisis caused by the Gulf War was unprecedented, Fang Mingyuan did not know. But one thing is certain, and that is since the Second Shijie War. Such a crazy mass detention of other citizens who are not enemy countries. It has never happened yet. Even between the Soviet Union and the United States, opponents of the Cold War, there was no such bad incident. Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, since this incident, has made Shijie's governments deeply disgusted with him.

Moreover, as more and more countries have announced that they will join the US-led multinational force, their citizens who have been detained in Iraq have also become Saddam's "human shields."

In order to rescue these uninvolved people, the leaders of major international organizations, senior leaders of various governments, as well as the retired dignitaries of various countries, Shijie celebrities, and even the then secretary general of the United Nations and the former president of the United States went to Baghdad in person to ask Saddam to abide by the conventions of international law and release the nationals of these countries.

Until the 90's Zuihou month, because Saddam refused to withdraw his troops from Kuwait, Kuwait was free and independent. The Multinational Force's war with Iraq was inevitable, and it was only after repeated appeals from all governments, dignitaries, and celebrities that Saddam Hussein agreed to release all the hostages before Christmas.

It can be said that Iraq used the means of taking foreign hostages as a diplomatic bargaining chip and used the hostages to divide and disintegrate the anti-Iraqi alliance established by the United States. But the negative impact is even more severe.

"Fang!" Prince Abdullah interrupted Fang Mingyuan's thoughts and said in bewilderment, "If Saddam Hussein treats these detained citizens of various countries as hostages, what does he want to gain by ignoring basic international morality?" ”

Fang Mingyuan glanced at Prince Abdullah with a smile, he didn't believe it, as a political figure. After the initial shock and his own reminders, Prince Abdullah still couldn't figure out what Aunt Saada's purpose was. However, he did not intend to expose Prince Abdullah, and this bit of face had to be given anyway. Prince Abdullah is an important intermediary between Fang Mingyuan and Kuwait in the future. "First. Through these hostages, the Iraqi government hopes to avoid a strike by the US military. Immunity from sanctions imposed by the international community. even legalized the annexation of Kuwait; If this goal cannot be achieved, it can also delay the outbreak of war to the greatest extent, so that the Americans can have more scruples when bombing, and buy time for their own country to strengthen its military liliang and rearrange its armed liliang; At the same time, it can also be used to force countries that may fight alongside the U.S. military as allies to refrain from intervening in the war. That's what I think, but if President Saddam Hussein doesn't have that purpose, I will

Prince Adullah and Prince Maktum glanced at each other, and Prince Maktum nodded slightly, he thought the same thing. Fang Mingyuan's words can be said to have reached his heart.

The convoy slowly stopped, someone walked over quickly, opened the door for them, and Prince Mark Tu could only put aside the doubts in his heart for the time being, pulled Prince Abdullah and Fang Mingyuan, and got out of the car.

The first thing that catches your eye is a group of Arabic-style palaces not far away, interspersed with several European-style palaces. At a glance, I couldn't see the end, and the huge dome shimmered with golden light under the sun. The wide promenade leading to these palaces is flanked by two tall trees and a huge canopy, enveloping the entire trail in it, ensuring that even in the hottest of summer months, you can walk here. It will not be invaded by the scorching sun, and the outside is surrounded by green meadows and purple gardens, dotted with many fountains. With the sea breeze, it brings a wave of dampness. Fang Mingyuan looked at it at a glance, and he saw at least ten fountains of all kinds, although they were far away, and they couldn't see the specific appearance. But in the Middle East, where water is more expensive than oil, this is simply a luxury to the extreme.

Fang Mingyuan and Chen Zhong couldn't help but gasp. The two of them are not people who have never seen the world, but when they saw the scene in front of them, the impact of that moment still shocked the two of them. It is no wonder that there are very few Arab royal families on the list of the richest in Europe and the United States, and their wealth is difficult to measure in terms of money. When Prince Maktum and Prince Abdullah saw this, they smiled knowingly. It was always Fang Mingyuan who surprised them. This time it was finally a gaffe for Fang Mingyuan.

"It's so beautiful!" Fang Mingyuan praised sincerely, "It's like a paradise on earth." ”

Prince Maktum Daxiao got up and said, "Since you like it so much, you might as well pick a palace later." It's your bedroom where you're a guest here. Akailam".

With his voice, a middle-aged Arab walked briskly to Prince Maktum. Said respectfully: "Your Highness".

Prince Maktumu pulled Fang Mingyuan and said, "Aikailam, this one is Fang from Dongfang Huaxia, he is a good friend of me and Prince Abdullah, and he wants to be a guest here for a while." You must take care of our valued guests to the highest specifications. If there is anything wrong with Fang, Ai Kailam," Prince Maktum said in a long voice. His words were not in Arabic, but in English, and Fang Mingyuan could hear them clearly.

"Your Highness, please rest assured, I will definitely take care of your distinguished guests." Aikela bowed down and said in a continuous voice.

"Dear Fang. Then Abdullah and I will be absent for a while, and my steward al-Aqalam will accompany me temporarily, and if there is anything he asks, as long as it does not violate the teachings of my Islam. Trust me. If he dares to neglect you, I will not drink it, he." Prince Maktum said sincerely, "Treat this as your home!" ”

"My home is like yours. It's like a thatched house! Fang Mingyuan smiled bitterly. Such a residence. I'm afraid that only the top leaders of those countries are the same. Only members of the royal family can have it. Even those rich people in Shijie, their mansions are dwarfed by those here!

"Then build another one here. Home, which palace you like, tell Akailam. I can keep it for you for a long time, only for you to use Prince Tuyao said with a smug smile on his face, "Fang, I heard that you only allow monogamy in Huaxia, and you are only allowed to have one child, or else." I will become a citizen of my country, but I will be able to marry four wives. Children can be born at will. What do you think?. Wouldn't it be better if a wealthy and talented young man like Fang Mingyuan could be allowed to believe in Islam and join the Emirate of Dubai? Although Prince Mark Tuyao was just a joke, he also had a little more expectation in his heart.

Fang Mingyuan shook his head, although he envied an Arab man who could justifiably marry a four-room wife, but he didn't want to change his nationality because of this. Although Huaxia has such and such shortcomings, it is its own motherland and its own roots after all. The self who was reborn once again wants to make the motherland develop better, and what is it to run to the United Arab Emirates?

"Your Highness's proposal is very appealing to me. But I can't guarantee that all four wives will be treated equally, and the bowl of water will be even, so I ask Your Highness to allow me to think about it for the time being. Fang Mingyuan politely declined. Maktum was not upset, and dragged Prince Abdullah away.
