PS: Thank you book friend China Raul for always rewarding. For those of us writers, the festival is simply synonymous with trouble. I was exhausted yesterday. Today I worked overtime to make up for it all!

Accompanied by Fang Mingyuan and Chen Zhong's Ai Kai Lamu, they visited the seven palaces under the name of Prince Maktum, Prince Maktum had married three wives, and these princesses each occupied a palace, plus his own current office, these places were not suitable for Fang Mingyuan and them to go. But even so, it made Fang Mingyuan walk with sore feet and weak legs, this time he was eye-opening, and he was able to let the prince's butler accompany him personally, which was also a rare experience - not those nobles or dignitaries of various countries, ordinary people could not enjoy such treatment.

It's a pity that because they know that Arabs have many taboos about taking pictures, Fang Mingyuan and Chen Zhong didn't bring cameras with them when they came to Saudi Arabia, so although there were rare beautiful scenery in front of them, they couldn't take pictures. It's a pity. Otherwise, if you bring it back to China in the future, you can also let your family share it.

The dusk here is truly mesmerizing: intricately carved wooden windows cut the sunlight into golden shards and sprinkle the arabesque-style mosaics all over the floor. The walls are covered with vines, and the relief patterns in the corners of the column heads are half hidden in heavy shadows and half shining, and the melody of light and shadow changes at this moment, every moment, and each moment becomes more intense. It's intoxicating.

Prince Maktum and Prince Abdullah didn't reappear in front of Fang Mingyuan until dinner. Ai Kai Lamu had already prepared a sumptuous feast for Fang Mingyuan, which was enough for ten strong men to eat happily in Fang Mingyuan's opinion.

"Fang, how was your afternoon with me? Is Ai Kailam still satisfied with the hospitality? Prince Maktum said casually, but a layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on the wooden vest of Akela on the side. Prince Maktum rarely asks a guest in this way, but every time, if the guest's answer is unsatisfactory to him, the consequences are extremely serious. He immediately turned his pleading gaze to Fang Mingyuan. He could be regarded as a guide for Fang Mingyuan conscientiously this afternoon, even if he had no merit and hard work.

"Your Highness, your palace has truly opened my eyes and breathed me away, and I don't know what words to use to describe its beauty and magnificence. As for the hospitality of the Butler of Akella, I am very satisfied, and I think it is not easy to have such an understanding and good butler. Fang Mingyuan smiled and said, he noticed that as soon as he said this, Ai Kailamu, who was standing on the side, showed a relieved look on his face, and at the same time glanced at him gratefully.

"Aikailam, has the accommodation for the VIP been arranged? Which palace is it? Prince Maktum was satisfied, his butler had entertained the guests to the satisfaction of his guests, and he, the host, naturally had a bright face. What's more, Prince Maktum is now like Prince Abdullah, and the other party Mingyuan is paying more and more attention, so he naturally wants to deliberately make friends.

"This ......," Ai Kailamu glanced at Fang Mingyuan in embarrassment. This afternoon, although Fang Mingyuan had taken a look at all the palaces, he did not express his intention to stay where to stay, so Ai Kailamu naturally did not have a good answer.

"Your Highness, I won't tell you, these palaces of yours have dazzled me, whether it's this or that, which one to choose, I have to ask you, the master, to recommend it for me." Fang Mingyuan's words relieved him.

Prince Maktum and Prince Abdullah couldn't help laughing, but Fang Mingyuan's situation was not uncommon, in addition to those guests who were also royal families of Arab countries, there were also those royal family members in Europe, even if it was a dignitary from some countries, it was rare for them to enter here for the first time. Prince Maktum pondered for a moment, and then whispered a few words to Akailam, who glanced at Prince Maktum in surprise and made sure that he had heard correctly, and then bowed away.

Fang Mingyuan didn't hear clearly what Prince Maktum was saying, but from Ai Kailamu's expression, it could be seen that the "dormitory" that Prince Maktum chose for himself was obviously extraordinary. In fact, the palace that Prince Maktum chose for Fang Mingyuan can be said to be the one with the most conditions besides the palace he is currently using. If it weren't for the laws of the United Arab Emirates, where husbands must treat their wives equally, and all the treatment is basically the same, the palace would have belonged to one of the three princesses. And it is precisely because there is no palace in the palace under the name of Prince Maktum that can be of the same grade as it, so the three princesses can only watch it empty, but they can't move in.

The people who can live in this palace, among Prince Maktum's friends, there are only a few people, all of them are nobles in the Arab royal family, as a foreigner of a different nationality and a commoner, Fang Mingyuan is definitely the first to be able to live here. Since Prince Maktum has decided to win over Fang Mingyuan, he naturally spares no effort in these aspects. All the treatment is of the highest standard.

"Dear Fang, although you and Mr. Guo asked that the donation of 50 million US dollars not be made public, our emir Bixia cannot but express my gratitude to the two for their selfless dedication. As a result of the decision of our Government, we will present you and Mr. Guo with the Mubarak Medal as a token of our gratitude. "Under the laws of Kuwait, a person who obtains such a medal shall enjoy privileges and privileges in Kuwait. Among other things, the mere fact that Kuwaiti customs officers must be released immediately when entering and exiting customs is the envy of many people. Not to mention, the benefits that have been brought about in Kuwait as a result.

For example, with this medal, Fang Mingyuan can spend tax free in Kuwait; You can refuel your car for free, and you can enjoy generous government welfare subsidies. It is even possible to meet with members of the Kuwaiti royal family directly without having to make an appointment in advance. If you are not a Kuwaiti national, this medal has another function, that is, the owner can travel to Kuwait without a visa from the Kuwaiti embassy, and can apply to the Kuwaiti government for Kuwaiti nationality at any time. And in other countries in the Middle East, they can also receive corresponding preferential treatment.

In fact, it stands to reason that the money paid by Fang Mingyuan and Mr. Guo was not worthy of the attention of the royal family members of Kuwait, who are themselves rich, but Fang Mingyuan's donation this time is like a charcoal in the snow, which not only solves the problem of the participation fee of the Kuwait Asian Games delegation, but also has a very strong demonstration effect. Therefore, the award of this medal is also with a bit of gratitude. Of course, now the Kuwaiti royal family does not know whether or when they can return to the country, and this medal is not much better compared to chicken ribs for now.

At least Prince Abdullah's face was always hot when he explained the role of this medal to Fang Mingyuan - Fang Mingyuan had sent a check for 50 million US dollars in real money, but his own side had written a blank check to someone who didn't know when it would be cashed! After listening to Prince Abdullah's explanation, of course Fang Mingyuan would not refuse, with this thing, it would be much more convenient for him to come to the Middle East in the future.

"Dear Fang, it stands to reason that the emir of our country should give you more rewards, but you also know that the current Kuwaiti royal family, with no land, no citizens, and frozen overseas assets, just wants to give you more honor and wealth, but it is also powerless. In the future, I will return to Kuwait, and I Abdullah, I will definitely strive for more rewards for you. Prince Abdullah swore by it. He had already decided to do his best to envelop Fang Mingyuan, you must know that at their level, even if they understood the future direction of political events one minute earlier than others, they would have a great advantage.

If Fang Mingyuan had been able to say earlier today that Saddam might have taken those foreigners detained in Iraq hostage, he and Maktum would undoubtedly have made new contributions. However, Prince Abdullah has no regrets about this, since Fang Mingyuan can see this, then he will definitely be able to see more secrets, as long as he has a good relationship with him, he doesn't believe that there will be no more opportunities in the future.

"Your Royal Highness, Prince Abdullah, I appreciate your kindness, and the current predicament of your royal family may be difficult to solve in a short period of time. And once the U.S. military decides to expel the Iraqi army by force, I am afraid that the huge military expenses will have to be borne by your royal family, and I will not be short of money in a short period of time, this time to come to the Middle East, to be able to harvest the friendship of the two princes, is my greatest honor. Fang Mingyuan's words made Prince Abdullah and Prince Maktum laugh.

"Dear Fang, then in your opinion, if the US military decides to expel the Iraqi army by force, then what are the chances of victory?" Prince Maktum asked solemnly.

As US troops continue to build up in the Middle East, and Saddam Hussein has given a tough response in the face of layers of pressure from the international community, this war seems inevitable. Although the United States claims to be the largest power in Shijie, since World War II, it has been defeated again and again on the Korean Peninsula and then in Vietnam, which inevitably makes people doubt their military strength. Iraq, on the other hand, has experienced an eight-year Iran-Iraq war, a million-strong army equipped with sophisticated Soviet-style weapons, and a convenient geographical location, and its combat strength cannot be underestimated.

Therefore, many people in the Middle East are worried that this war will become a protracted war and turn the entire Middle East region into a mess. 【……
