Chapter Sixty-Six: Fahd Secretly Confessed
Prince Fahd is the eldest son of the previous emir, the uncle of the current king, seventy years old this year, usually likes to wear white Arab robes, brown glasses, a delicate beard, smiling eyebrows and kind eyes, harmless to humans and animals, the standard Middle Eastern oil tyrant appearance, even if the coup failed, his son was killed in battle, and the whole family was imprisoned, he still maintained the image of an Arab nobleman.
King Said pardoned his uncle, but deposed him of the title of prince, but he still enjoyed a special status, and his deposits and fixed assets in Switzerland and London were not affected, and Fahd, escorted by officials of the Ministry of the Interior and the gendarme, took his family to Riyadh in ten cars, from where he flew to London to work as a duke.
The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, Fahd has been a prince for seventy years, and the wealth he has accumulated is incalculable, just the treasures and famous paintings and the brand-name clothing, shoes and bags of his wives and concubines are loaded with five cars, and the other five cars are used to transport Fahd's wife and children, according to Arab law, he has four wives, of course, in fact there are more than this number, in addition to many former wives, but the legal wife has always maintained the quota of four, although Fahd has many wives, but the heirs are not prosperous, only two sons, five daughters, the eldest son Khalid has died in battle, The youngest son, who is only 10 years old this year, was born to his third wife, and is of mixed Arab and American descent.
The attendants loyal to Fahd went with him, numbering only a dozen or so, and half of them were harem maids, who could not even get a driver, but hired a few Pakistanis from the taxi company to drive the convoy away.
His Royal Highness Fahd was full of affection, and took one last look at the palace of King Kolin, where scaffolding was erected, and the Bengali engineering team was repairing the exterior wall that had been damaged by artillery fire, and on the balcony, King Said looked at his uncle coldly.
As soon as the convoy set off, the group walked six ways into Saudi Arabia, and as soon as they crossed the border, a large group of media reporters blocked the road, asking to interview Fahd, and two reporters from the Associated Press were allowed to get on His Royal Highness's Land Rover for an exclusive interview.
This scene was seen by the gendarmes at the Colin border checkpoint, and immediately called to report to the headquarters, and the news reached Said, the king only sneered, after he signed an agreement with the uncle, the two sides agreed that after the amnesty, they would not disclose any inside information about the palace coup to the media, and before the ink dried, the uncle made a lot of nonsense to all kinds of reporters, which shows that this person could not be trusted at all.
In addition, the uncle and nephew also signed a secret treaty, Fahd promised to permanently renounce the throne of Colin, of course, this agreement was not taken seriously by both parties, the treaty was used to tear up, since you broke the treaty first, then my revenge is justified, for which Said is not only not angry, but very satisfied.
On the border of Kosha, in Fahd's specially made extended Land Rover, the bloated prince moves neatly, taking off his Arab robe, removing his beard, changing into jeans and a T-shirt, wearing a photographic vest, a baseball cap and sunglasses, and resembling the chubby AP photographer.
Fahd picked up the camera and got out of the car with the reporters, the rest of the reporters swarmed in, no one paid attention to them, the eldest prince lowered his head and quietly got into the off-road vehicle marked Associated Press, and a middle-aged man in a light-colored suit sat in the back seat, and stretched out his hand to him: "Your Majesty, it's hard work." ”
"Mr. Thorpe, it's a pleasure to see you again." The eldest prince bowed slightly.
On the other side, the Prince's attendants announced to reporters that His Highness would no longer give interviews, and I beg your understanding, but the reporters had no choice but to get out of the way, and the convoy continued to move forward, with signs pointing to Riyadh.
……
Liu Handong was already waiting for Fahd's arrival in Riyadh, Xiao Cui and Huo Lei were not around, he could only temporarily transfer a few military staff from the king's office to assist him in his work, all six of them were equipped with guns, and a Remington company produced M7OO shotgun, this gun in the United States Navy 6 model is M4OA1, is a very reliable high-precision sniper rifle.
His Highness Fahd has a large residence on the outskirts of Riyadh that can accommodate the whole family, and Liu Handong is lying on the roof of a nearby house, next to him is Sergeant Hassan, a temporary guest observer, staring at the gate of the "palace" with a rangefinder, when smoke and dust are billowing in the distance, and the convoy is coming.
Liu Handong stuffed a .3oo Winchester Magnum rifle cartridge into the chamber, gently pushed the bullet to load, and in the scope, the Land Rover was parked at the door, and there were 6 people in the car, including men and women, but there was no Fahd.
Could it be that there is a problem with the intelligence, it stands to reason that it should not be, because the convoy is planted with spies from the king's office, and if Fahd escapes halfway, there will definitely be a report, Fahd is missing, either he runs away unknowingly halfway, or he is still in the car, the latter is less likely.
Since Fahd is not there, there is no point in killing his whole family, Liu Handong put away the sniper rifle, a little unhappy, he lost his ugliness on the first mission, how to see people in the future, but after thinking about it, he exonerated himself again, he is not a professional spy in the end, just a business executive, and he can't take the standard of cIa to demand himself.
That night, Saeed did not receive the news of Fahd's death, but he was not surprised, the eldest prince was extremely cunning, and must have guessed that he was going to do the trick, if he easily killed the other party, he would be uneasy, and wonder if it was a stand-in to block the gun.
……
The next day, Prince Fahd suddenly appeared in Dubai, and held a press conference, announcing the establishment of the government-in-exile of the Emirate of Kolin, and continuing to be his emir.
Prince Fahd denounced his nephew for betraying the country at the conference, in order to seize power, he made a deal with the devil, sold the precious oil resources of the Colin people cheaply to the greedy Chinese, in exchange for the support of the Chinese intelligence agencies, and even a large number of Chinese soldiers joined the rebel battle, in the palace battle, the cruel Chinese wrapped the old and weak women and children as shields, the royal army could not bear to shoot, had to lay down their arms, in this regard, the prince implored the United Nations to intervene.
He said it impassionedly, tears flowed down his eyes, and the reporters also took great pains to make it as big news, what Chinese forces entered the Middle East, blatantly interfered in Colin's internal affairs, and all kinds of shocking news filled the world for a while, but the governments of the United States, Britain and other countries strangely remained silent.
At the same time, King Said announced the establishment of a million-ton oil refinery with China Yanhuang Energy Group, with a 51% stake in the company and a total contract value of more than 10 billion US dollars.
In addition to Richard, who represents the interests of ExxonMobil. Mr. Thorpe, he bet on Fahd with a big treasure, spent countless efforts, and saw that he succeeded, but was inexplicably cut off by the Chinese, and this breath could not be swallowed no matter what.
Thorpe is an adventurer, his dream is to control a country, once in West Africa and the Chinese to compete for the right to control iron ore, and finally lost, never touched the iron ore business, now mainly engaged in oil business, but in the Middle East also encountered the Chinese who attacked everywhere in the world, and once again collapsed and sank.
But as long as Fahd is not dead, Thorpe has the cards in his hand, and he intends to help the Grand Prince build up an army to fight the government army in the desert of Kolin, and seize power by military means.
On the surface, it is a war between the two royal families of Said and Fahd, but in reality it is a proxy war between Zhongyanhuang and ExxonMobil, or on a larger level, a challenge from China, an emerging country, to the world's established hegemon.
Liu Handong was a meeting he saw on the Internet, he felt that his face was extremely hot, and immediately went to the Zhongyan Huang Middle East Branch, and now his reputation is in full swing, as soon as he entered the gate of the branch, everyone looked at him with great reverence, and called him Liu Xi.
"Is Lao Zhang here? I'm going to use the confidential room. Liu Handong walked straight to the confidential room, and a group of old ladies followed behind and chattered like brainless fans, Liu Xi was so cool that he didn't even look back.
The Middle East branch has its own confidential room, using a confidential telephone to contact China, Liu Handong called his immediate boss Zheng Jiayi, handed over the problem, said that Fa Hurd had established a government in exile, and if he didn't do it, he would have to pull up a team to fight a civil war, which would inevitably affect Zhong Yanhuang's interests in Colin.
"What do you need?" Zheng Jiayi asked calmly, "We try to be satisfied." ”
"Support, strong support, I'm doing dirty work right now, and I need a few skilled people with a strong heart, preferably able to speak Arabic." Liu Handong said.
"Got it, I'll do my best to coordinate." Zheng Jiayi didn't say half a word of nonsense and hung up the phone.
There was a knock on the door of the confidential room, Zhang Bangxian came, he smiled and shook hands with Liu Handong cordially: "I don't say hello in advance when I come to Riyadh, I have a treat tonight and eat roast whole sheep." ”
……
Zheng Jiayi, at the headquarters of Zhongyan Huang in Beijing, came to Song Jianfeng's office, put the tablet in front of him, and played a video of Fahd's press conference.
"What do you mean?" Song Jianfeng twisted his eyebrows and attached great importance to it, Fahd's slander of the Chinese government may cause a great diplomatic dispute, greatly affect the image of our country, and cause the anger of the high-level, and no one can afford this responsibility.
"It's inevitable." Zheng Jiayi said, "Behind Fahd is Mobil, and their interests with us in Colin are conflicting and irreconcilable, and the struggle cannot be avoided, it will only intensify." ”
Song Jianfeng lit a cigarette and thought deeply: "Jiayi, what do you think should be done?" ”
Zheng Jiayi said: "Our company does not have this kind of resources, and the two programs are either to train them themselves, select personnel from the retired special soldiers, and assign them to the Ministry of International Relations for use; Second, ask the military for help and ask them to send elite troops to dispose of Fahd; The first plan is slow to work, but you can control your own power and will not be hindered by others, and the second plan is fast, but the military is not a fuel-efficient lamp, you know. ”
Song Jianfeng said: "Let's take a two-pronged approach, let Liu Handong pick people, let's give the establishment, give treatment, and set up Zhongyanhuang's own emergency public relations personnel, as for Fahd's problem, let the military make a contribution." ”
After urgent coordination, Major General Xian Hui, who was in charge of the secret front operations of the General Staff Headquarters, expressed his stance that it was okay to support Zhong Yan Huang, but it was necessary to give priority to the military, and Zhong Yan and Huang should cooperate with the action, and as for the commander he had already thought about, he would use Lieutenant Colonel Yao Guang, a behind-the-scenes hero with rich experience in the Middle East and who had made great contributions to the Colin coup.
