Chapter 893: Middle East Strategy (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

"That's right, Your Majesty. The princes of the Kingdom of Najd and the Kingdom of Kuwait will probably arrive the day after tomorrow. When the time comes, do you sometimes see them indirectly? Foreign Secretary Vahit asked.

When the German army attacked Egypt, the Kingdom of Najd and the Kingdom of Kuwait secretly contacted Germany, hoping to send a prince to visit Germany secretly. Although, now the Middle East is still under the control of the British. However, the countries of the Middle East knew that the British were finished. This was especially true when they found out that the British were withdrawing from the Middle East, retreating to India.

The Kingdom of Najd and the Kingdom of Kuwait are both relatively influential countries in the Middle East. The kingdom of Najd, in particular, is on the verge of dominating the entire Arabian Peninsula. The Kingdom of Kuwait had been in existence for more than half a century, although it had been reduced to a British protectorate. However, their national security is guaranteed. At the same time, the operation in the Middle East over the years has made their country not big, but its influence is not small.

In the event of the defeat of Britain, the pattern of the Middle East will also be greatly affected by this. For this reason, the countries of the Middle East have to adopt other methods for the sake of their own national interests and future. The Kingdom of Najd and the Kingdom of Kuwait were among the forerunners. They contacted Germany in the hope of a change of court to ensure that their national interests would not be compromised as a result.

The German side will, of course, accept the initiative of the Kingdom of Najd and the Kingdom of Kuwait. After all, Germany is too far away from the Middle East to rule the Middle East. The only way to do this was to bolster the local powers and let them rule the place in place of Germany. In this way, German rule could be more secure. At the same time, it can also save a lot of power. Of course, there are downsides to that. Over time, when these countries become stronger, or if Germany declines, they will certainly do everything possible to get rid of German control.

However, as long as they continue to be strong, even if they have such a mind, they will not have such courage.

"I heard that the Built-in Prince is only thirteen years old?" Qin Tian asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty. But he was the eldest son of the king, the eldest prince. Washitt said.

"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Najd and the Kingdom of Kuwait have moved and the intention of taking their heirs to the throne hostage." Prime Minister Bilow said.

Qin Tian nodded, he also thought that it was still very good for the Kingdom of Najd and the Kingdom of Kuwait to do this. They knew that it would be very difficult to gain German recognition and satisfaction. And once they send the heir to the throne to Germany, they will be able to reassure Germany to support them. At the same time, it also shows their determination not to betray.

"In that case, I'll take the time to meet them!" Qin Tian said. His personal reception of the two princes was undoubtedly an indication of Germany's attitude. At the same time, it can also make the Kingdom of Najd and the Kingdom of Kuwait more reassuring.

"Your Majesty, does the Empire's Middle East strategy still need to be revised?" Qin Tian asked.

"Not yet! The British are retreating, and after their retreat they will leave a large void in power. And what the empire has to do is to seize this opportunity to fill these gaps. and, further, to ensure that the empire can strengthen its rule in the Middle East. Once the Empire controls the Middle East, the Empire will be able to easily control the entire world in the future! Qin Tian said.

"Your Majesty, is the Middle East really that important?" Feng? Marshal Falkenhein asked.

In his opinion, the Middle East is full of yellow sand, except that sand is sand. The population is also very sparse. Aside from the fact that the location is relatively important, nothing else matters.

"No, Your Excellency, you underestimate it too much. Know about oil? Qin Tian asked.

"Is there oil there?" Other ministers reacted.

Qin Tian nodded: "Yes, there is oil there." There's a lot of oil. In particular, the Kingdom of Najd and the Kingdom of Kuwait have very large oil reserves in their territories. It can be said that more than 60 percent of the world's oil is concentrated in the Middle East. The importance of oil is beyond doubt. This energy source is of paramount importance, both in times of war and peace. Therefore, we must control the Middle East and absolutely not allow other countries to get involved there! ”

Qin Tian's attitude was very resolute. As a person who has traveled from another time and space, he knows the importance of being in control of the Middle East. Isn't the reason why the US imperialists of later generations are so arrogant is because they control the Middle East? The powerful armed forces of US imperialism can enable them to subdue any opposition force. If Germany can control the Middle East, it will further strengthen Germany. At the very least, it is possible to get stuck in the necks of other countries through energy. If there is no more, not only will economic development be seriously affected, but at the same time, military strength will also be seriously reduced. Airplanes, tanks and cars, without oil, are just a pile of scrap metal.

The other military and political ministers were also completely shocked by the data Qin Tian said. Sixty percent of the world's oil? That's undoubtedly a very terrifying reserve. You know, the oil that Germany extracts from Libya now is enough for Germany's oil consumption, and there is even a slight surplus. But the Middle East has more oil, apparently, and much more. This means that it will be a great asset, and at the same time, it will be a very useful strategic weapon.

"Your Majesty, if this is the case, then we can't say anything about the Middle East. The countries of the Middle East must be brought under the control of the Empire! Prime Minister Bilo said with a serious face.

Although, Prime Minister Bilo has always been averse to the use of force. However, in order to ensure the interests of the empire, he was also in favor of the use of force when necessary. Since the interests of the Middle East are so important to Germany, it is entirely worth it in the eyes of Prime Minister Bilow to use force to control the Middle East.

Qin Tian nodded: "This time the Kingdom of Najd and the Kingdom of Kuwait took the initiative to show goodwill to the Empire, which is a good start. Through them, the Empire could easily enter the Middle East and take over the all-out vacuum left by Britain. In the future, we will find ways to further strengthen our control over the Middle East. The ambitions of the Kingdom of Najd were great, and the empire could support them in further control of the Arabian Peninsula. But again, the empire had to have military bases and garrison troops in the Middle East. In this way, the control of the empire in the Middle East can be ensured. ”
