Chapter 537: The Situation in Europe

According to the contradictions of interests of Britain and Germany, Chen Zhong smoothly seized the port of Singapore, and formally cooperated with Germany to invest in the development of Iran's oil and energy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infohp://772e6f742e6f%6

At the same time, the cooperation between the Chinese Empire and Saudi Arabia's Abdul Aziz is also in full swing.

Abdul Aziz was born in Riyadh and went into exile with his father and others.

After the enemy is not enemies, the ball is cold, so the ball is secret

In 1901, he returned to Saudi Arabia with an armed group of Bedouin nomads and conquered various tribes in the Arabian Peninsula. In 1906 he became the emir of the Emirate of Najd.

At this moment, Abdul Aziz is full of ambition for the future, but the surrounding hostile forces are still strong.

In later generations, Abdul Aziz established the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, but that was 22 years later.

Therefore, at this stage, Abdul Aziz did not dare to think of such a big picture.

The ship is far away and the ship is reluctant, and the ship is connected by the moon technique

However, Chen Zhong brought hope to Abdul Aziz through the Hainan fleet.

General Li Yong, commander-in-chief of the Hainan Fleet, said during a meeting with Abdul Aziz: "Your Excellency, our Emperor of the Chinese Empire admires your courage and courage, and he believes that you will unite the entire Arabian Peninsula. We, the Huaxia Empire, will provide you with the greatest support. ”

The enemy is not alone in the distant land, and the cold is far away from hatred

Abdul Aziz said: "I am very grateful to the Emperor of the Chinese Empire for the help he has given us, and we will never forget your grace. We will be friendly for generations to come.

Now that our army has no funds for armament, and the rebels are ready to move, we hope that the Chinese Empire can give us arms support and financial help. ”

"There is no problem with this, our Emperor of the Huaxia Empire asked me to convey his will, as long as you need to speak, the Huaxia Empire will do its best to help you." General Li Yong asked Abdul Aziz to estimate how much he needed, and the Chinese Empire's fleet would soon deliver the guns and ammunition.

Of course, none of this help can be gratuitous. Abdul Aziz also knew what Chen Zhong was thinking.

The back department is not in love, the enemy is lonely, and the yang is cold

However, he believes that this is very fair, and they are far from having the ability to develop oil in Saudi Arabia, so Abdul Aziz is very satisfied with the investment agreement of the Chinese Empire.

Soon, what would have been an extremely long campaign was completed in a short time by Abdul Aziz, with the help of Chen Zhong.

After Yuanke, he hated the cool battle of Yuefan

After Yuanke, he hated Yuefan's cool battle, which was definitely a situation that the British did not want to see.

Abdul Aziz, with his well-equipped army, quickly recaptured Turkish-occupied Al Ahsa and proclaimed himself Najd Sultan.

He also signed the "Treaty of Eternal Alliance" with the Chinese Empire and accepted the protection of the Chinese Empire. He united the Hijaz and Najd and their dependent sultans, established themselves as kings, and proclaimed the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

At this moment, Chen Zhong's layout in the Middle East has been successfully completed after nearly a year.

With this big leap, Chen Zhong has extended the tentacles of the Chinese Empire to the South Pacific Ocean to the Arabian Sea, and firmly occupied the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the largest oil storage country in the Middle East. In the future, this is almost impossible.

Knot far away from the enemy's observation of the war and the trick ball

Because, this is a land of gold, and the oil in the ground will make the whole world crazy.

However, in this historical space, history has quietly changed with the establishment of the Chinese Empire.

The enemy is far away and the enemy is haunted

After Chen Zhong intervened in Saudi Arabia, he began to develop oil fields, build railways, and build military ports.

At the same time, the cooperation personnel sent by Chen Zhong to cooperate with Germany have also begun to invest in Iran and Iraq, and have built railways and military ports.

In the middle of the Middle East, the construction of railways, the construction of ports, and the development of investment will not only play a big role in the imminent outbreak of World War I.

Moreover, Chen Zhong also had the idea of building many underground oil storage facilities in China to store the crude oil that was transported back to China, leaving a huge fortune for future generations of China.

At this stage, however, the situation in Europe became increasingly tense, and a naval arms race of unprecedented scale intensified.

Since Fisher, the first minister of the British Navy, proposed the concept of dreadnought battleships, Britain and Germany began a large-scale arms race.

At the same time, dreadnought battleships have also made many of the main warships of various countries in the world have just started production, and they have been eliminated and become scrap metal.

In a sense, the biggest advantage of the dreadnought is the all-heavy gun structure, as long as enough power packs can be produced, the all-heavy gun structure will soon be able to be launched.

Later, the enemy of the local science and technology side is cold and the ghost fights against each other

However, in terms of power, Germany definitely has the advantage. The German Empire built ships on a scale that would have left the British breathless.

The huge pressure to build ships has exhausted Britain.

Although the British recalled their main warships overseas and tightened their spending, they still could not get rid of the German military threat. Looking at the current situation, it is even possible to fall behind Germany and be caught up by Germany behind,

Thus, Britain began to prepare for a war with Germany.

Their idea is that if they can predict the outcome of being surpassed, then they will not hesitate to use a war to destroy all possibilities of the opponent!

But everything is not yet mature, and it is impossible to start a complete war at all.

Britain's plan for huge warships in preparation for war could not meet the expected requirements, and the fleet's logistical reserves could not meet the needs of the entire war.

Faced with such a situation, Britain has no choice but to use diplomatic mediation as much as possible.

However, the escalating contradictions between Russia and Germany in recent years have drawn Russia and Germany into the whirlpool of war at any time.

Under normal circumstances, Russia and France, as great powers at opposite ends of the continent, are generally rarely able to engage in direct geopolitical conflict.

Then, in the face of Germany's aggressiveness on the European continent, the establishment of a military alliance between France and Russia is of course unstoppable.

Russia's expansion in the Balkans was repeatedly met with diplomatic containment by Germany and Austria-Hungary, and France was not actively supportive of Russia's ambitions in the Balkans.

Russia eventually lost all patience, and the diplomatic community and the military had no intention of wasting their energies in small, manageable diplomatic conflicts, but only prepared for a full-scale war.

Germany's diplomacy was contained by Austria, Russia's diplomacy was contained by Germany, France's diplomacy was contained by Russia, Britain's diplomacy was contained by France, and finally all the major European powers were controlled by the Balkan situation, and a European war for several Balkan peninsulas was about to break out almost instantly.

However, at this moment, the British absolutely do not want Germany and Russia to go wrong, because, in a certain sense, if Germany and Russia go wrong, the war will expand in an instant, and many surrounding countries will be attacked and involved.

This is definitely a situation that the British do not want to see.
