"Do we have conclusive evidence that this Holy Land Brotherhood is behind this matter?" Randolph had little interest in these religious groups, he only wanted to know how to report to the Führer.

"The evidence is not sufficient at the moment, only a few letters and Lamu's confessions, but we still have four Bedouins who have been arrested, and Lamu confesses that they were sent by the Brotherhood, and I will be able to pry their mouths open in three days at most." Jürgen was excited, he didn't believe that there were still tough guys in this world that he couldn't clean up.

"It's all up to you, and I look forward to your success, Major." Randolph agreed to Jürgen's request.

"In that case, Horn and Krieger's case can be closed, should we inform the British of the results of the investigation?" Randolph put the olive pits in the ashtray.

"I suggest that you first report these findings to the Führer and ask him for advice on the next steps." Jürgen suggested.

"Of course, it must be reported to the Führer first. Also, I remember when you said earlier that you had discovered a big conspiracy, was that what you were referring to? Randolph asked.

"Didn't I report back to you? Oh, sorry, Lieutenant Colonel, it seems that this has indeed not been mentioned yet. Jürgen touched the back of his head with some embarrassment.

"According to Lamu's confession, the Brotherhood has been linked to local anti-British groups in Egypt who are planning a riot in Cairo." Jürgen lowered his face and reported with a serious expression.

"Local anti-British groups in Egypt? Isn't that Hua... Waffle party. Randolph held his chin with his fingers in the shape of an Egyptian expert.

"This... It should be Waffle Off-Party, Lieutenant Colonel. Jürgen quickly corrected.

"Ah, sorry, it was a slip of the tongue just now, I know it's a waffle who has left the party, it's a funny pronunciation, hahaha." Randolph sat up straight, and his face didn't change haha.

"You just said that this waffle... Leaving the party, they want to start a riot in Cairo? In Cairo... Wait a minute! Aren't we just in Cairo? Randolph finally reacted.

"Jürgen, such important information, you should report it to me as soon as possible. When exactly are they going to act? How many people attended? What about weapons and equipment? We have to prepare in advance, we don't have enough people at hand now, we have to ask for reinforcements from above. Yes, I can send a telegram to the Führer asking for reinforcements, at least send me an infantry regiment first, and artillery... By the way, there must be tanks ... By the way, we also need air support, if only there could be a wing, I remember a naval aviation wing is now on the island of Malta...."Randolph stood up excitedly and began to walk around the room.

He did not worry about his own safety, history has long proved a theorem with the blood of countless brave people, in the face of a guarded regular army, any armed uprising organized by civilians is an act of suicide, and there have been only a few successful cases for hundreds of years, mostly because of the internal response of the rebels in the regular army.

"Wait a minute... Lieutenant Colonel, please calm down, I haven't finished my words yet. With a drop of cold sweat hanging on his head, Jürgen stood up with an embarrassed expression.

"Huh!?" Randolph stopped and turned his face to look at Jürgen.

"As for the riot, we now know that the other side has this plan, but it is not clear when it will break out, the specific number of participants and the equipment." Jürgen took a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his forehead.

"And how much information do you have now?" Randolph asked, somewhat disappointed.

"Very little, but I can confirm that this news is true and reliable, I have obtained the names and addresses of some of the backbone and senior leaders of the organization, and I will immediately launch a secret arrest operation against them, and then torture them, and we will definitely be able to dig up the information we want." Jürgen replied with his chest puffed.

"I agree to your request, but this still needs the cooperation of the British side, I will report to the Yuan in a while, do you have a detailed written report?" Randolph walked back to his seat and picked up a folder on the table.

"It's all ready, in that folder in your hand." Jürgen replied respectfully.

"Oh, that's good, I'll take a closer look later." Randolph shook his eyebrows.

"By the way, you said earlier that the fraternity was in collusion with the Waffle Party."

"Indeed, Lieutenant Colonel Randolph. The motives of the Brotherhood are very suspicious, and I think that something big will happen on the Saudi side in the near future. Jürgen sat down.

"Oh? What are you basing your judgment on? Randolph kept the folder handy.

"This is a personal hunch on my part, and combined with the information I have so far, I think this prediction is highly likely. Lieutenant Colonel Randolph. Jürgen replied, then picked up his pencil and pointed to the map on the table.

"Saudi Arabia's territory has expanded to the limit, bordering British Hadaramau (Yemen) and Oman to the south, both of which are British protectorates, and occupy the coastline at the southern end of the peninsula, Saudi Arabia lacks maritime power, and it is impossible for him to challenge the traditional British power in this direction." Urgen drew a line on the border between Oman and Hadaramau.

"In fact, Saudi Arabia occupied internal governance and extended its influence to the Red Sea, and since then the British have been vigilant, if Saudi Arabia develops maritime power, it will definitely affect the safety of the sea route from the Mediterranean to India." The SS major said, pointing to the Red Sea coastline.

"So the British are not going to allow the Saudis to develop a sea power under any circumstances, and the Saudis are well aware of this, and they seem to have ambitions in this regard, but it is simply impossible for a nomadic country to build a modern navy from scratch." Therefore, the only direction of expansion that Saudi Arabia can choose is the northern region, which was originally the territory of the Ottoman Empire, and Transjordan, Iraq, and Kuwait are all currently British protectorates. "It is clear that the former Gestapo has done some research on the geopolitics of the Middle East.

"Saudi Arabia is a poor country, most of the land is desert, it is difficult to develop agriculture, there are some mineral resources here, but the production technology is primitive, the output is very low. Their main source of finance is the sale of camels and dates to neighbouring countries. Jürgen shrugged his shoulders as he said this.

As early as 1933, Saudi Arabia sold exploration concessions to the Standard Oil Company of California, and Standard Oil established a branch in Saudi Arabia, named the Standard Oil Company of Saudi Arabia. At the beginning, Standard Company was full of confidence and invested a lot of manpower and material resources to carry out exploration on Saudi territory, and I don't know how many oil wells were drilled before and after, but I didn't see a drop of oil extracted.

In 1936, Saudi Arabia's Standard Oil sold 50 percent of its shares to the Texas Oil Company, and the two companies shared the cost of exploration and exploitation, but it was not until 1938 that the first oil-producing well was drilled at the insistence of the chief geological engineer, for which the Saudi royal family received an advance payment of 50,000 pounds for the product.

Although oil has been extracted, it can only show that Saudi Arabia has oil resources, and only God knows how much oil there is. Until the 40s, the production scale of Standard Oil in Saudi Arabia was still lukewarm, and when the war broke out in Europe, because the land and sea transportation channels were cut off, the extracted oil could not be transported, and all dozens of oil wells were in a state of semi-shutdown.

The oil could not be delivered, and the Saudis lost their most important source of revenue, and as Jürgen said, they had to pick up their old business and support their families by selling camels and dates.

How poor was Saudi Arabia before the discovery of oil resources, here is a statistic that when Ibn Saud was on his honeymoon with the British, he received 5,000 pounds a month from the British government, because he claimed that the British blockade of the Ottomans affected his camel and date palm business, and that he could not feed his army if he did not receive the money, and that Saudi herders could be smuggled grain and other military supplies to Turkey.

Now it seems that this was blackmail, but the British agreed to his request, which shows that the British Empire had a full understanding of the state finances of Saudi Arabia, and as a result, the subsidy lasted for ten years, until 1924, when the British cabinet seemed to wake up from a dream and stopped the aid funds. Ibn Saud's army was built entirely on British money.

Now that Saudi Arabia has lost its financial resources, it has set its sights on two wealthy neighbors, Transjordan and Iraq, whose monarchs all belong to the Hashemite family, Ibn Saud's sworn enemies. Ibn Saud is not only for the wealth, territory and population of these two countries, but also for the fulfillment of his ambition to dominate the Arab world, as long as the Hashemite family is eliminated, the Arabian Peninsula will be dominated by the Saud family.

And now the only thing that stands in his way is the protector behind Jordan and Iraq, the former world hegemon of the empire on which the sun never sets.

But even if you know that the British Empire is no longer the sun that never sets back then, but even if it is a weakened world hegemon, it is not something that he can challenge as a nomadic country, and Saudi Arabia knows very well that the gap in military strength between the two sides can no longer be made up by numbers.

When the war broke out in Europe, Saudi Arabia still wanted to profit from it as before, but it turned out that this time no one paid attention to him, and a bunch of great powers were all fighting in Europe.

It was not until early September, when the news of the defeat and surrender of the British Empire came, that Saudi Arabia's territorial expansion ambitions that had been buried in their hearts finally began to burn.

PS: Today's plus chapter is presented, thank you for your support.

I finally climbed back to the fourth place in the classification ranking, but the gap with the back turned out to be single digits, and I don't know if it will be able to maintain it until the end of the month, which is really a little uneasy.

Thank you for your generous tips and monthly passes, you are an important motivation for me to continue writing, and I will continue to work hard.
