In the Lagdan Palace, Rawls from Romania came to visit again.

"Hello, Your Excellency the Emir."

"Hello, Mr. Rawls, and welcome to your excellency again."

This time it can be regarded as a birth and two familiarizations, and Rawls, who is a visitor, took the lead in opening the conversation. "Your Excellency, I wonder what you think about the future of Jordan?"

In the face of Rawls's words, Abdullah's face became heavy, because he knew that this sentence would not be said casually, and it must have its own intentions. When it comes to Jordan, the Romanian visitor's thoughts are largely well expected.

I saw Abdullah speak. "The future of Jordan will inevitably be decided by the Jordanian people, both the will of the Jordanian people and the will of Allah."

And Abdullah's words, Rawls can naturally understand, which is a hint that Jordan will have its own decisions. The people of Jordan are not yet represented by Abdullah, and as descendants of the Holy Seed, it is natural to help them make decisions.

Rawls replied with a nod and a smile. "Your Excellency Emir, what you said is right, the future of Jordan should naturally be chosen by the Jordanian people themselves, but the attitude of the British is not serious about Jordan, right?"

Rawls's words made Abdullah's face tense. There was no way for him to answer this topic, because it was a very obvious question, and no amount of quibbling could change the fact that Britain actually ruled Jordan.

"Your Excellency is right that the attitude of the United Kingdom is of paramount importance to Jordan. But the needs of the Jordanian people, they cannot turn a blind eye, and sooner or later we will all be able to gain independence from them. ”

In the face of Abdullah's unconfident words, Rawls did not expose it, but continued to speak. "Yes, Jordan will gain independence sooner or later, but what about time? Ten years, twenty years, fifty years, or a hundred years, or more, can this be guaranteed by the British? ”

Without waiting for Abdullah to answer, Rawls continued on his own. "No one knows the answer, not even the British themselves, because they absolutely don't want to see Jordan independent if they have the chance. Because your position is very important to the UK. ”

Although Abdullah was very eager to refute the words of the Romanian in front of him, it was not that he had a good opinion of the British, but simply wanted to grasp the initiative in the conversation. The initiative of the two parties in the conversation is very important, and if the initiative is lost, the topic will be completely controlled by the other party. It's just that he can't help but answer this topic.

"That's right, that's right!"

After hearing Abdullah's answer, Rawls smiled and continued. "What the British can't give, we Romanians can!"

"Why did you give us Jordan's independence, but you also wanted to use our people to rebel against the British and hold them back."

A voice came from the next room, and a man in traditional Arabic dress walked from the next room. Rawls recognized it as Ibrahim Hashim, a Jordanian politician. And judging from the fact that he could listen to the conversation between the two next door, it seems that his relationship with Abdullah is even closer than the intelligence suggests.

Seeing the former prime minister who was a little angry, Rawls said with a smile. "Your Excellency Ibrahim, maybe you need to calm down and listen to what I have to say, don't you?"

Rawls said Ibrahim, but his eyes were on Abdullah, because the emir had just said nothing about Ibrahim's sudden intrusion, which was enough to explain everything. His Excellency the Emir also wanted to hear himself explain what he meant.

I saw Rawls open his mouth and continue. "We don't need the Jordanian people to fight for independence, we just need to refuse to help the British pass through here, refuse to collect supplies from the British, don't help the British transport supplies, destroy the roads, and paralyze the road from Egypt to Syria. Then when our army arrives, you will be responsible for the guide. ”

That's right, it is enough for Romania to do just Jordan. Because Romania does not need their troops, think about the many wars in the Middle East, who knows how the Arabs fought, and they are really not suitable for the battlefield. So for these Middle East regions, Romania, under Eder's instructions, did not want to recruit troops from them at all, at most with some guides.

And this is not too simple for the sainthood of the Hashemite family. And for Romania, the separation of British and French military forces is very significant for Romania. Because the two countries have not yet agreed on a plan for mutual defense in the Middle East, the military forces of Britain and France in the Middle East have not been integrated.

Compared with the British army, which gathered more than 200,000 troops in Egypt, the French military force of less than 50,000 was much less difficult for Romania. The only fear now was the rush of British military power when Romania moved against France. Jordan is the gateway between the two, and it deserves to be invested by Romania.

Although they are still connected by coastal roads, as long as they still have military minds, they know that in the absence of sea dominance, it is a crime to walk by the sea.

"So what do we get?"

Although the task is simple, Abdullah still needs to ask for compensation. Jordan's appetite would not be satisfied simply by allowing it to become independent. Although Jordan has always wanted independence, it is not cost-effective to get on a Romanian ship like this.

Abdullah's words brought a smile to Rawls's face, and he took out a map from his briefcase and opened it in front of Abdullah.

"Your Excellency, Mir, we will naturally not be stingy with our friends. As long as Jordan can help us hold back the British army, then this piece will become a new territory in Jordan. ”

On Rawls's map, the Palestinian region is drawn in a straight line with a red pen. It is completely divided in half from east to west on the boundary of Jerusalem, and the east side is painted in the same color as Jordan, and there is no indication of the west side at present.

Abdullah looked at the map and was silent, waiting for a long time before speaking. "Such a division is very bad for us in Jordan, we don't have a port."

It is clear that the patriarch of the Hashemite family was not satisfied with this result. Of course, he also knew the truth that a hard work is a harvest, but I saw him continue. "Actually, you have too few plans, and we are fully capable of another big uprising to drive Britain out of the Middle East."

Hearing Abdullah's words, Rawls showed an excited expression when he heard it. "Are you sure you can do it?"

"Absolutely, as long as you give enough support, you can definitely uncover the great uprising that is no less unusual than the 1916 uprising. At least in Syria and Jordan. ”

Looking at Rawls, who was smiling, Abdullah had to lower the indicator later.

Rawls continued as if he hadn't noticed the moisture in the other party's words. "If that is the case, then we can consider the possibility of His Excellency the Emir taking over as King of Iraq. Of course, whether it can succeed or not depends on the final result. ”

"How should the results be calculated, are you counting them or are we counting them?"

Ibrahim, who was on the sidelines, was clearly dissatisfied with this sentence. It is self-evident who is more important between Iraq and Jordan, and at present, Iraq is more important than any other country or region, except for Egypt. So it's impossible to say that you don't want to settle in Baghdad, although Abdullah gave up the throne to his younger brother before, but that's a puppet, can this be the same as being a king?

It's just that if you don't solve the same goal, then it's very likely to be a pie. And Ibrahim's words are very obvious to put it into practice.

"It's simple, as long as we both negotiate a goal that satisfies both parties, then this will not be a problem."

Rawls's words made Ibrahim and Abdullah look at each other.

"Yes, it's a big deal, so let's talk about it now."

"No problem."

……

The conversation between the three of them in the palace of Ragdan lasted from Hidaka to sunset, and then to midnight when the lights were on. During this time, the three of them stayed in this room to discuss specific goals, except for eating and going to the toilet.

By sunrise the next day, the agreement on a mutually agreeable goal had finally been settled.

Rawls, who looked tired, looked at Ibrahim and Abdullah, who were also tired but in high spirits. "Then we will take what is written above as the result, and naturally Your Excellency can do it, and our country will definitely help you ascend to the throne of Iraq. And we will not send advisers to guide the internal affairs of your country. ”

At this time, Abdullah patted his chest and said. "If I succeed, I swear by Allah that I will always remember the kindness of your country."

The three of them, who had a good conversation, left like this.

Rawls smiled as he sat in the departing car, and now he had an idea to change the problem of the excessive German influence in Iraq.

This is all the good advice given by that Abdullah, and it made me think of it.
