Faris Rashid's mood now is like a long drought and a rainstorm, and it is like meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land, and there is a candle night in the cave room, when the gold list is inscribed-

None of them add up to what Faris Rashid is feeling right now.

Although Qin Haoge does not have such a personal experience as Faris Rashid, he can also feel the joy of Faris Rashid.

The Lanfang people were still not used to letting people kiss their shoes, so Qin Haoge picked up Faris Rashid and solemnly told Faris Rashid: "The Lanfang people are not used to this kind of etiquette, so it's better for us to be normal—"

God, just as Faris Rashid is used to his relatives' shoes, Faris Rashid hasn't even kissed his father's shoes!

"Please rest assured, the Rashid family will never forget the kindness of the lord, as long as the Rashid family exists for one day, the Rashid family will be Lan Fang's eternal slave, and Faris Rashid will be the most loyal dog in front of His Majesty Lan Fang-" Faris Rashid did not forget to show his loyalty after getting up.

"No, it's not for nothing that we help the Rashid family, and before that, I want to get a reason for my children to shed their blood for your Rashid family." Qin Haoge doesn't care about those "slaves" and "loyal dogs", what Qin Haoge wants is real benefits.

Perhaps what Faris Rashid said did come from Faris Rashid's heart, but it didn't work, and even Faris Rashid himself couldn't guarantee that the rest of Rashid would think the same way.

Even if it is because of Lan Fang's support, Faris Rashid gets the inheritance of the Rashid family and becomes the king of Saudi Arabia, Faris Rashid does not dare to guarantee that his children and grandchildren will think the same way in the future.

So this "oath" has no effect, except that it sounds better.

And Qin Haoge is obviously not a person who can fool with good and obedient words.

"Reason - the Rashid family can sign an agreement with the lord, if Lanfang helps the Rashid family to gain the right to rule Saudi Arabia, the Rashid family will recognize Lanfang as the suzerainty of Saudi Arabia, and Saudi Arabia will become a part of Lanfang, and while enjoying the protection of Lanfang, it will assume due responsibilities and obligations." Faris Rashid blurted out that it seemed that this was a long-negotiated condition.

"Suzerain? No, no, no, Lanfang is not the suzerainty of any country, not now, not in the future, Lanfang will never occupy a colony, all countries are equal. Qin Haoge immediately refused.

Qin Haoge is right, Lan Fang is indeed not the suzerainty of any country, even for the current Japan, Lan Fang is only a trusteeship, Japan is not Lan Fang's colony, not now, and not in the future.

Of course, if the Japanese were willing, Japan would really become part of Lanfang in the future, which was different from a colony.

All the areas occupied by Lan Fang from the founding of the country to the present, including Goryeo, Siam, Western Province, etc., are Lan Fang's land, in the true sense of the word, and this is not a colony.

For Saudi Arabia, Lan Fang's attitude is also clear.

Lanfang doesn't need to turn Saudi Arabia into a colony of Lanfang, but at the same time, Lanfang also has its own demands.

"Dear sir, you are so generous." Faris Rashid wanted to kiss Qin Haoge's shoes again.

"Look at this—" Qin Haoge casually handed Faris Rashid a map.

"What is this?" Faris Rashid took it in disbelief.

This is a part of Qin Haoge's copy based on the map that Qin Zhiyuan personally handed over to Qin Haoge before leaving, and it is only the Saudi part.

On this map, the entire Persian Gulf coast is painted red to represent Lan Fang, which is also a clear indication of the price that Lan Fang will pay if Lan Fang helps the Rashid family.

"This—yes." Faris Rashid didn't hesitate much, and after a few glances to determine the area, he immediately expressed his approval.

Faris Rashid cannot but agree that since the rise of the Aziz family twenty years ago, the Rashid family has begged all the countries they can ask for, but only Lan Fang has clearly expressed that she can help the Rashid family.

Without Lan Fang's help, the history of the Rashid family would have come to an abrupt end in two or three years, and everything would have come to naught by then, so there was no point in persevering.

Faris Rashid didn't think about asking for the family's consent, every day passed, the situation of the Rashid family would be more difficult, the current conditions may be excessive, but if it was a little longer, Faris Rashid could not predict whether the conditions proposed by Lan Fang would be even more excessive.

Of course, since Qin Haoge can be so frank and honest, Faris Rashid is not polite, and directly raised a core question: "I can agree to this condition, but in order for this condition to be finally implemented, you must guarantee that I can obtain the inheritance rights of the Rashid family." ”

Family succession, this is indeed a central issue.

The Persians do not have the idea of family planning, and Persia is not against polygamy, so it is not uncommon for a family to have seven or eight children, and there are dozens of heirs like Rashid who have the same inheritance rights as Rashid, and if there is no guarantee from Qin Haoge, Faris Rashid does not dare to say that he will definitely be able to obtain the right of family inheritance.

No, it will definitely not be obtained, the reason why he was sent out to ask for help is because Faris Rashid is not valued in the family, if Faris Rashid can find help, of course, if he can't find it, even if Faris Rashid dies in this troubled world, it will not affect the inheritance of the Rashid family.

So compared to the Rashid family, Faris Rashid needs Lan Fang's help more.

"Yes, from now on, Lan Fang will be your greatest guarantee, one of our troops has landed in Yemen, and we will assist you in setting up an army that is only loyal to you, which will be the greatest guarantee for you to obtain the right to inherit. At the same time, you should see that the British are the biggest trouble in the Middle East, and all of our Lan Fang's request to get the Persian Gulf coast is to expel the British, as long as there are no British, there will be no source of trouble in the Middle East. Qin Haoge's words were mixed with a large number of private goods.

"That's right, that's it, if it weren't for the British, the Middle East would definitely not be like this now." Faris Rashid agrees with Qin Haoge.

What Qin Haoge said is also right or not, yes because after the world war, it was precisely because of the rudeness of the British that Iraq appeared, so there was the Syrian-Iraq war.

No, because the chaos in the Middle East has a long history, when the Ottoman Empire existed, because of the strong suppression of the Ottoman Empire, the Middle Easterners were able to maintain restraint. But when the Ottoman Empire collapsed, with or without the British, without the strong suppression of the Ottoman Empire, it was inevitable that the Middle East would fall into chaos.

Even if what Qin Haoge said was wrong, Faris Rashid would not correct it.

Faris Rashid's heart has been completely occupied by the "right of inheritance", and there is no room to think about Qin Haoge's words.

In fact, Qin Haoge does not ask for much land, compared to the area of 2.25 million square kilometers in the entire Saudi Arabia, Qin Haoge asked for about 200,000 square kilometers, which is less than one-tenth of the total area of Saudi Arabia.

Only Qin Zhiyuan knows that in another 30 years at most, the colonial system of the whole world will collapse, because of the awakening of the colonial people, and because of the weakening of Britain and France, the "suzerain" that is still popular at that time will not have any binding force, so Qin Zhiyuan wants a real land, not the illusory name of "suzerain".

After all, from the current world, the colonial system has not shown the slightest sign of collapse, and perhaps in the eyes of some highly educated colonial elites, colonies should have more rights, but they are certainly not yet "independent", and Faris Rashid's ideas are not so radical.

Although Saudi Arabia has a large land area, 95 percent of the land in Saudi Arabia is desert or semi-desert, and only 145 percent of the land is suitable for farming, and most of it is concentrated along the Persian Gulf coast.

It is precisely for this reason that the British will easily abandon Saudi Arabia in their original history.

And by the time Saudi Arabia discovered oil and the British wanted to return to the Middle East, Germany had re-emerged and war clouds were gathering in Europe, so the British lost the opportunity to return to the Middle East forever.

Qin Zhiyuan would definitely not make such a mistake.

After all, in the world now, only Qin Zhiyuan knows the value of the Persian Gulf.

The oil on the Persian Peninsula is mainly concentrated on the coast of the Persian Gulf, about fifteen years ago, oil has been found in Iran on the other side of the Persian Gulf, but there is no movement on the Saudi side of the Persian Gulf, if there is no intervention of Qin Zhiyuan, it will not be until 1932, the first oil field will be discovered in Bahrain, and the oil field in Saudi Arabia will not be discovered until 1938.

So Lan Fang is now asking for the Persian Gulf coast, Faris Rashid really doesn't care much, and even Qin Haoge, including Qin Haoge, doesn't know what is hidden under that desert.

After negotiating the terms with Faris Rashid, Qin Haoge immediately reported to Qin Zhiyuan, and at the same time urged Huang Li to attack in the direction of Basra.

Qin Zhiyuan's next order will take some time to be issued, and Huang Li is already itching.
