Chapter 897: Had to Yield (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Hamid cleanly agreed to the German terms and signed his name on the subsequent documents. It can be said that from now on, the Kingdom of Kuwait has become a protectorate of the German Empire.

Although, this means that Kuwait will lose a lot of power. Even if Germany wanted to overthrow the Emir of Kuwait, the Kingdom of Kuwait could do nothing about it. After all, the country's army and police were already under German control. Germany would even garrison troops in Kuwait if they wanted to. In this case, the Emir of Kuwait would be reduced to a real puppet.

Of course, they could hope that the Germans would not interfere in their internal affairs. In this case, it would be nice to be able to guarantee the power of internal affairs. At least, there will be no power left.

Kuwait has become a protectorate of the German Empire, so the rest is the Kingdom of Najd. The eyes of the Imperial Prime Minister Bilo and Foreign Minister Vasit fell on Gazi, the Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Najd. Suddenly, Ghazi felt a tremendous pressure. He knew that after the Kingdom of Kuwait had succumbed, the Germans would be even tougher towards the Kingdom of Najd.

"Your Excellency Gazi, what about the Kingdom of Najd? How's it going? To this the Empire Vahit asked.

Ghazi gritted his teeth, and then said, "Your Excellency, if the Kingdom of Najd agrees to become your protectorate, we can be in line with the German Empire diplomatically. Our army can also be under the command of the German Empire in the event of war. Our police system can also be trained in Germany. However, we want the control of the army and the police system to be in our own hands! ”

Obviously, the Kingdom of Najd was not willing to hand over the basic strength of the country such as the army to the Germans. The current kingdom of Najd, though with a population of only a few million. However, they are the most powerful countries on the Arabian Peninsula. Moreover, the current kingdom of Najd is still expanding outward, and they want to defeat the Rashid family and occupy the kingdom of Najd. At this time, military power is very important. What's more, the kingdom of Najd did not want to completely put the fate of its country in the hands of the Germans.

The Kingdom of Kuwait was too weak, so they had no choice. So it can only be at the mercy of the Germans. However, the Kingdom of Najd is different, they are already the most powerful country in the Arabian Peninsula. So, they'll have their own ideas.

When Imperial Prime Minister Biloh and Foreign Minister Vahit heard this, they couldn't help frowning.

"Your Excellency Ghazi, to become a protectorate of the Empire, the conditions are prescribed, and no changes can be made. Therefore, your country has only two options: to become a protectorate of the empire, or not to become a protectorate of the empire. After becoming a protectorate of the Empire, the Empire will not interfere in the internal affairs of the protectorate under normal circumstances, and you can rest assured of this. Washitt said.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, is there no other choice?" Gazi asked with a pained expression. He knew that if the Kingdom of Najd refused, then what awaited them would probably be a war. The German* army was attacking Egypt, and the British* army in Egypt could not resist it at all. As soon as the Germans had settled Egypt, they could march on the Arabian Peninsula. And the army of the Kingdom of Najd could never be the opponent of the German army. Even so, they are more adapted to the terrain and climate of the Arabian Peninsula. However, the gap in equipment and combat effectiveness is not so easy to bridge.

Vasit shook his head: "The rules of the empire, after they have been decided, cannot be changed. ”

"Your Excellency Ghazi, there is absolutely no need for you to worry that Germany will take control of the army of the Kingdom of Najd, it is completely unnecessary. In terms of the population of the kingdom of Najd, the Empire will only help you build up three infantry divisions. That's only 50,000 in total. Such a small army is nothing to the empire. Unless, after your country became a protectorate of the Empire, you have the idea of rebelling against the Empire. Otherwise, don't worry at all. Prime Minister Billo said.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, if the Kingdom of Najd decides to become a protectorate of the German Empire, we will definitely not rebel." Gazi said hurriedly.

If you rebel after becoming a protectorate of the German Empire, isn't that looking for death? With Germany's military strength, they could be easily destroyed.

"In that case, what do you have to worry about?" Prime Bilo asked.

Gazi hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Your Excellency, the Kingdom of Najd still has a long-cherished wish that has not been fulfilled. So, we want to make sure we have control over the military. ”

"The Rashid family, who control the kingdom of Gaijd, are our enemies. Our Majesty the King is determined to destroy the Rashid family and annex the Kingdom of Gaijd. So, war can break out at any time. At this time, we must ensure control of the army. After we have destroyed the Rashid family and annexed the kingdom of Waizhi, we will hand over the army to Germany for reorganization. What do you think, Your Excellency the Prime Minister? Ghazi said.

The reason he said was half-truthful. It's really the Kingdom of Najd that really wants to destroy the Rashid family and control the Kingdom of Outer Chronicles. However, what is false is that they want to use this as a delay.

Prime Minister Biloh is not a fool, once the Kingdom of Najd annexes the Kingdom of Outer Kingdom, it will dominate the entire Arabian Peninsula and become more powerful. When the time comes, it will be even more difficult to control them easily.

"Your Excellency Ghazi, we also know a little about your country's enmity with the Rashid family and the kingdom of Waizhi. If your country becomes a protectorate of the German Empire, the Rashid family and the Kingdom of Waij, the empire can help you solve it! Prime Minister Bilo said with a smile.

However, Birlo's smile made Ghazi feel the chills. He knew that there was no way back. The implication of Büloh is obvious, the Kingdom of Najd can become a protectorate of the German Empire. Similarly, the Kingdom of Gaizhi could also become a protectorate of the German Empire. If the Kingdom of Najd refuses, then once the Kingdom of Waizhi becomes a protectorate of Germany, the German army will help the Kingdom of Outer to destroy the Kingdom of Najd. Although the Kingdom of Waizhi is weaker than the Kingdom of Najd, with the help of the German army, it will be very easy to destroy the Kingdom of Waij.

Ghazi knew that this was undoubtedly a threat to the German Empire. However, in the face of this threat, they simply have no way to counter it. There seems to be no other way but to compromise and give in.
