Mobilizing the prince to participate in the war, but also delegating to the grassroots troops, is by no means a trivial matter.

Fortunately, the Shau King knew what was important.

Two days later, Shi Zhiliang returned to the military city of King Khalid with good news.

The Shau King had acceded to his request and sent the prince to the rank and file as commander of the ranks, and he was at the disposal of the Combined Command.

Crucially, the Shau Di came up with a way to get the prince to actively join the army.

In times of war, the annual service of male members of the royal family of military service age was reduced to a minimum, which was barely enough to maintain the standard of daily living expenses.

Specifically, a prince who does not have a family only has 3,000 gold yuan per month, and a prince who has a family has between 6,000 and 10,000 gold yuan per month, depending on the family situation.

In Saudi, that's not a lot of money at all!

Saudi Arabia's per capita GDP has exceeded 20,000 gold yuan, and the monthly income of civilians is more than 1,500 gold yuan.

Obviously, for those princes who are accustomed to a luxurious life, a few thousand gold dollars a month is not much at all!

It's just that none of the princes has any objections.

The reason is also very simple, the global war has begun, and the Saudis have borne most of the expenses of the Posha Bay War, and almost all of these money have to be deducted from the royal treasury, after all, the national wealth is in the hands of the royal family, and there is no reason for civilians to bear the war expenses.

In comparison, the income of the Saudi royal family, and even the entire country, not only did not increase, but decreased a lot!

Since the outbreak of the Posha Bay War, Saudi Arabia's oil exports have been decreasing.

With the outbreak of the global war, Saudi Arabia has begun to impose an embargo on the countries of the Western Continent bloc, and oil revenues have plummeted by about a third.

In addition, imports continued to grow.

Among other things, international food prices have risen by almost 30 percent in August and continue to rise even after the outbreak of the global war.

Clearly, the Saudis will have to find a way to cut spending.

Of course, the main move is to let the prince, who represents the royal family, go to the front line to fight.

In order to encourage the prince to go to war, the king of Saudi Arabia was also generous.

As long as they are fighting on the front line, they can receive a combat allowance of 5,000 gold yuan every month, and additional allowances are provided according to the number of days of attendance.

Theoretically, serving in a battalion-level unit can receive an additional subsidy of 10,000 gold yuan per month.

It's even more remarkable if you take credit for the battle.

As long as the commander's unit wins the battle, then after the battle, the commander of the unit will be given a reward of at least 1,000 gold yuan per day according to the time of participation in the battle. If you achieve a major victory, such as capturing a town or annihilating the enemy's main force, you can also get an additional reward.

All in all, you will be rewarded for winning battles.

Because the reward is for the commander of the unit, not only for the prince, but also for officers and soldiers who are not members of the royal family, this can also have the effect of boosting morale.

However, for many princes, the monetary reward was secondary.

Whether or not you actively participate in the war will also determine your status in the royal family.

According to the reform plan of the "Royal Asset Management Committee" proposed by King Saud, the future members of the royal family, that is, the members of the committee, will no longer serve for life, but will adopt a points-like competition method, and will be replaced every year according to actual performance.

The main criterion of reference is "contribution points".

To put it simply, the more you contribute to the royal family, the higher the ranking, the more chances you have to enter the inner circle of the royal family when you rotate.

Measuring contribution, or contribution points, the heaviest weight is military merit.

If you want to say it, this is the big move.

Although there are thousands of princes in Saud, there are only a few dozen in the inner circle, and the other princes only have royal blood.

The prince who enters the inner circle is the "real" prince!

The reason is also very simple: the assets of the Saudi royal family have exceeded 1,000 billion gold dollars!

Not to mention in Saudi Arabia, looking at the world, there is no family that can compare.

Obviously, compared with tens of thousands of gold dollars per year, or at most hundreds of thousands of gold dollars per year, the benefits obtained from participating in the operation of royal assets are the real majority.

In fact, until now, the members of the Saudi Royal Family Asset Management Committee are still the seven direct sons of its founding king, as well as the sons of these direct sons. It is clear that for many secular princes, there is no chance of getting their hands on royal assets at all.

This reform is equivalent to giving thousands of vulgar princes a head start.

If anything, this is also the only way for the Saudi royal family to carry out reforms.

Even if the original system can be maintained, it will be enough for the Saudis to remain rich, so as to maintain and consolidate the royal family's dominance in the Saudis, and let the descendants continue to control the country, but there is certainly no way to make the Saudis become a military power, and it is said to dominate Boshawan.

To put it another way, it is the global war that has forced the Saudi royal family to reform itself.

To put it bluntly, the strong combat effectiveness of the Liang Xia army in the Poshawan War has made the Shau king and the core members of the royal family realize that if the opportunity for this reform is missed, maybe the Saudi royal family will be wiped out before the end of the war.

Fundamentally, what the Liangxia Empire needed was a Shau that could fight side by side, not a Shau that could do nothing.

Crucially, the Saudis are too rich.

There is an idiom that describes Saudi Arabia very well.

Guilty of it!

As the world's largest oil reserve, producer and exporter, it can make hundreds of billions of gold dollars in profits every year just by exporting oil, and 30 million Saudiians can live a prosperous life on their trips.

The wealth of Saudi Arabia surpasses that of the country of Van Luo, which has a population more than 20 times that of the country!

Even in the Posha Bay region, Saudi Arabia's wealth is second to none compared to that of its neighboring oil-producing countries. For example, the population of Boi is twice that of Saudi Arabia, its oil export income is less than one-third of that of Saudi Arabia, and its per capita wealth is less than half that of Saudi Arabia.

In peacetime, peace and stability can also be exchanged for the export of interests.

In times of war, it was not so easy.

Not to mention the Boi Kingdom in the north, as well as the Riman Empire that is unanimously eyeing the Crescent region, even the Liang Xia Empire, which is backed by the Saudi royal family, may not be able to tolerate an ally who is easy to work with, let alone that the Saudi Arabia has not yet formally formed an alliance with the Liang Xia Empire.

Of course, the Saudi-like royal family has also been preparing for reforms.

The most convincing thing is that all princes must go to the Saudi Royal Military Academy to study when they reach adulthood, and after graduation, they all have to serve in the royal army for at least 3 years, while the direct princes who have the right to inherit the throne have to serve for 3 years.

The reason is also very simple, only by becoming an officer can you grasp military command, and the army is the basis for maintaining the ruling power of the royal family.

In addition, almost all the princes of the direct line went to the Pakistan Railway and the Liangxia Empire for further study during their service, and some of them also served as honorary officers in the guards under the jurisdiction of the Liangxia royal family, and also received honorary officer certificates issued by the Liangxia royal family.

This was to maintain friendly relations with the Liangxia Empire.

To put it simply, it was to arrange for the prince with the right to inherit the throne to serve the Liang Xia Emperor, so as to recognize the Liang Xia Empire as the "suzerain" of the Shaudi.

The current king of Saudi Arabia served as the bodyguard of Emperor Liangxia more than 20 years ago, and it was at that time that he was canonized as the crown prince.

Because all the princes have received systematic military training, even if many of them are genuine second ancestors, they have not learned anything at all, but it is obviously not difficult to find hundreds of thousands of princes who are talented and can command the army in battle.

In fact, for many princes who are not in the world, joining the army is the main, if not the only, way out.

It is precisely because of this that the prince attaches great importance to this channel, whether it is studying in a military academy, or later getting the opportunity to go abroad for further study, or even serving in the grassroots troops, he has a good performance, at least his personal military talent will not be bad, and there is definitely no problem in leading the battalion and company-level troops to fight.

If anything, these lay princes have been the backbone of the Saudi royal army.

According to Ding Zhennan's understanding, among the grassroots officers of the Saudi royal army, especially the grassroots officers of the army, the proportion of vulgar princes exceeds sixty percent.

Among the several Saudi armies that participated in combat operations and were responsible for logistical support to be precise, it was these vulgar princes who were sent to the front to endure hardships.

Speaking of which, it was these vulgar princes who made Ding Zhennan change his view of the Saudi royal family and army.

From another point of view, the existence of these vulgar princes also forced the Saudi royal family to carry out reforms, or the number one reason for decentralization.

Wouldn't those vulgar princes who had gained actual combat experience and were supported by the rank and file have no political ambitions?

For many secular princes, what is lacking is only an opportunity to develop and grow, and this great battle has sent the opportunity to them.

When thousands of lay princes take control of the military, and their political demands are not met, the consequences will be unimaginable.

If civil strife breaks out in the royal family, it will definitely be not only the descendants in power, but the entire Saudi royal family, and even the entire country.

As for those who are now in power, they will definitely die a very ugly death.

Then, from an objective point of view, the only choice for the Saudi royal family is to carry out reforms and give more power and benefits to those vulgar princes who have made military achievements.

In addition, it is through reform that we gradually move closer to the world.

To say, the Liangxia Empire has not attached much importance to the relationship with the Saudis, for example, it has not signed an alliance treaty with the Saudis, and on a large issue, it is because the Saudi royal family is unwilling to reform and give up power, and it has never become a normal modern country.

In essence, Saudi Arabia is still a feudal kingdom.

Obviously, for the most powerful industrial country in the world today, it must draw a clear line with the feudal kingdom and maintain an advanced and enlightened image.

Don't forget, because of its "empire" status, the Liangxia Empire has been slandered and attacked by "democratic" countries such as the Nuland Republic, even though the Liangxia royal family has already given up the power to govern the country through self-reform, and established the most superior national governance system today.

It can be seen that the Liangxia Empire also hopes that the Shaudi will carry out reforms!

To put it mildly, if the Saudi royal family refuses to reform, then when the time comes, it will change all this through a revolution.

For the Saudi royal family, which is in the center of the spiral nest, it is obvious that they do not want to see such a thing happen.

In any case, what the king of Saudi Arabia did was actually to maintain the dominance of the royal family, and it was not wrong to say that it was to renew the life of the royal family.

For those vulgar princes who have been excluded for a long time and are outside the inner circle, this is also a great opportunity to turn over!

In the words of Shi Zhiliang, after the king of Saudi Arabia promulgated a plan to reform the royal family, thousands of princes expressed their willingness to serve in the ranks.

However, it is not only the prince who will go to the grassroots troops.

According to the arrangement of the Saudi royal family, each prince will be assigned a guard squad, and the guards are all from the royal guard.

In addition, the coalition forces provided an equal force of guards, that is, arranged a guard squad dedicated to the protection of the prince.

The key is that the coalition forces have to arrange for instructors of equal rank to go to the grassroots troops to serve as adjutants to Prince Saudi.

Although nominally, a military advisory group led by instructors commanded the Saudi army, nominally, these troops were still controlled by the Saudian royal family. To put it simply, the Military Advisory Group only provided advice, and the Prince, who was the commander, still gave the order to fight.

This arrangement was actually to maintain the absolute control of the royal family over the army.

According to Shi Zhiliang's intentions, he has made an effort, but the king of Saudi Arabia is unwilling to compromise and retreat, so he can only accept this request.

In this regard, Ding Zhennan was also helpless.

Of course, he was not idle in the past two days.

Before Shi Yuliang returned, he had drawn more than 1,000 officers and men from the 5th Marine Division, the 17th Armored Division, and the 7th Armored Division.

Of these, about 600 officers and men were from the 5th Marine Division, and all of them were wounded who had returned to the unit.

Relying on these officers and soldiers, together with liaison officers drawn from the coalition headquarters, who were actually translators, a total of 50 military advisory groups of 20 people each were formed.

In response to Shi Zhiliang's question, Ding Zhennan was also very direct.

On the same day, he drafted 50 promotion orders and sent them to Shi Zhiliang for signature.

Simply put, it is the appointment of 50 major officers.

Fortunately, Shi Zhiliang, in his capacity as theater commander and commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, has the relevant authorization, and does not need to be approved by the Ministry of Defense.

To be precise, it was approved by the Ministry of National Defense after Shi Zhiliang's signature.

Because it is promoted from a low-ranking officer to a mid-pole officer, it is generally not rejected, and to be promoted to a lieutenant colonel, it needs to be authorized by the Ministry of Defense.

As for these 50 officers, strictly speaking, they are all from Ding Zhennan.

In Shi Zhiliang's words, Ding Zhennan took advantage of this opportunity to promote a large number of talented young officers.

It's just that there's nothing surprising about that.

Even if you change to someone else, you will also seize this opportunity.

The key is that these young officers promoted by Ding Zhennan have performed well in previous battles and have already proven their abilities.

Either way, at least the problem was solved.

As for the security personnel, they are arranged by the coalition command, and Ding Zhennan does not have to worry about it.

On the night of September 30, Ding Zhennan held a farewell banquet at the headquarters, which was actually a dinner, that is, he prepared some more dishes.

Subsequently, 50 military advisory groups rushed to their respective units.

According to the plan, the combat operation against Bag X will begin tomorrow morning!
