There is no denying how important the geographical location of the Gulf of Aden is. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

If Lan Fang takes control of here, then the Western Province will have peace of mind.

Of course, now that Lanfang has taken the Persian Gulf, the materials transported by Lanfang can land in the Persian Gulf, and there is no need to go around the Suez Canal in a big circle, so the main role of controlling the Gulf of Aden is to ensure that the shipping lanes between Lanfang and Europe are unblocked.

After all, territory is not a colony, and of course, the more land, the better.

Although it is a bit shameless to look at Gu Weijun's behavior from Wahid Baider's standpoint, Gu Weijun also has enough positions to demand interests in Yemen.

These lands were all brought back by Lanfang's soldiers with knives and guns, and there was absolutely no reason to give them up from the negotiation table.

"The territory you are asking for is too much, if you Lan Fang don't give in, then it will definitely arouse public anger, so Gu, it's time to give in." Charles Hughes is doing his job, and it seems that the Yemenis are well funded.

"Okay, let's go back to the original conditions, that's our bottom line." Gu Weijun went back to the original point.

The initial conditions, which refer to the conditions proposed by Gu Weijun for the first time, are about 100,000 square kilometers from Pilin Island to Mukara Port.

"No, no, no, this condition is too harsh, and we can't agree to such a condition." Wahid Badel looked at Charles Hughes pitifully, hoping that Charles Hughes would continue to help.

"If you don't give in, then there's no need to talk." After Charles Hughes finished singing with a red face and a white face, he spread his hands at Wahid Baidel and made a helpless expression: "Mr. Wahid, you should know that every day passes, Lan Fang's army will take a step forward, if it is delayed any longer, then there is no need to continue talking, because even the kingdom of Mutawakilia will cease to exist." ”

Charles Hughes is right, just the day before yesterday, Lanfang's army had approached Sana'a, the capital of Yemen, and Yemeni King Mohammed fled to the border city of Saida.

"Mr. Charles, please—" Wahid Badel pleaded with red eyes and grabbed Charles Hughes's sleeve.

"Mr. Wahid, you have to make concessions, otherwise the negotiations cannot continue." Charles Hughes was so conclusive that there was no friendship at all.

"Mr. Charles, take a step to speak." Gu Weijun's heart is still not ruthless enough.

This time, without Charles Hughes's orders, Wahid Baidel took the initiative to exit the conference room, leaving enough space for Gu Weijun and Charles Hughes.

"Tell me, what's your bottom line?" Seeing Wahid Badel go out, Charles Hughes immediately stopped holding the shelf, leaned back in his chair and spoke casually.

"There is no bottom line at all, negotiating, you can get as much as you can, and if you can't do it, you can delay it for a few more days." Gu Weijun was also casual, and his tone was still tight.

"The line from Little Aden to Pilin Island belongs to you, and the port of Mukara belongs to us, so you can sign the contract now." Charles Hughes made a suggestion that stunned Gu Weijun.

What is shameless, the reason why Lan Fang opened his mouth was because Lan Fang paid the price and definitely couldn't go home empty-handed. And the Americans just use their lips and maybe take the benefits of the Yemenis, but now they also want to get a spoonful, which is really shameless to a new level.

"You should know that you Lan Fang has been in the limelight too much recently, which has made many people jealous, so you need a certain country to help you share the pressure, in my opinion, the United States is the best person to take on this role, for the Middle East we are all outsiders, so we have enough common interests." Charles Hughes's explanation sounds reasonable.

"No, no, no, for the Middle East, we Lanfang are not outsiders, we have territory in the Middle East." Gu Weijun's eyes widened, and he really looked pure.

"Okay, you are not outsiders, then neither are we, you should know the purpose of the Cairo Conference, the British are not willing to withdraw from the Middle East, the French want you Lan Fang and the British to fight to the death, the Italians are to watch the fun, they are never afraid of making a big deal about it, because no matter what, they are all soy sauce - and we in the United States can help Lan Fang legalize everything you get from the Middle East, think about it, I think this is a very reasonable suggestion." Charles Hughes got up and took his leave.

Gu Weijun definitely has no right to decide this kind of thing, and Charles Hughes wants to leave enough time for Gu Weijun to get in touch with China, so that the negotiations can move on to the next part.

Just when Gu Weijun and Charles Hughes were planning Yemen together, the three Yang brothers finally got together again on a cruise ship docked on the Nile.

Yang Deshan's box of gold bars was not spent in vain, although it was a complete defeat in Iraq, but Yang Deshan did not receive any reprimand, but because he saved the army to the greatest extent, Yang Deshan was commended by the British government, and his military rank was also promoted to lieutenant general.

This was Angus Wollaston's parting gift to Yang Deshan.

Soon after he withdrew from Kuwait City, Angus Wollaston was transferred back to the British military headquarters to take up a vacant position, while Yang Deshan led his troops to Palestine.

It was the last British colony in the Middle East.

The British were unwilling to be defeated in the Middle East, Yang Deshan's brotherly alliance could not defeat the Lanfang people, it did not mean that they could not defeat other Persians, just when Yang Deshan led his troops to Port Said on a passenger ship, Yang Deshan received a secret order from the British government, and the British government asked Yang Deshan to launch a mutiny in Egypt to overthrow the rule of Fouad I and return Egypt to the embrace of the British Commonwealth.

Although Britain was forced to recognize Egypt's independence last year, Britain still retains national defense, diplomatic and other privileges, and according to the agreement signed between Britain and Egypt, Britain can protect British interests in Egypt at any time to send troops to Egypt.

Although there were still some privileges, it was far from enough, especially since the British already felt the danger after Lan Fang took Djibouti from France.

Egypt was much larger in the 21st century, and now Egypt and Sudan are one country, and the King of Egypt is also known as the King of Egypt and Sudan. This is a country with an area of nearly three million square kilometers, more than ten times larger than the British mainland, and the British are certainly not willing to give up Egypt.

According to the British's understanding of Lanfang, after Lanfang obtained Djibouti, Lanfang would definitely not be satisfied with this little land, Lanfang would definitely expand, and then the Egyptians would not be able to resist the attack of Lanfang at all, so Britain needed a stronger organization to protect British interests in Egypt.

Yang Deshan's brotherly alliance is the best choice for Britain right now.

In Liabi, the Brotherhood Alliance and the British had a good cooperation, and in Iraq, Yang Deshan proved his "loyalty" to the British Empire with his performance on the battlefield, and the British had no reason not to trust Yang Deshan, and now they can only trust Yang Deshan.

"The brothers are ready, as long as you give the order, the eldest brother, you will be the king of Egypt tomorrow morning." Yang Dehai was very excited, pacing back and forth in the cabin, a little impatient.

"Don't worry, the more times like this, the more we have to be stable." Yang Deshan was not in a hurry, frowning and holding his face, without any excited expression.

"Colonel, Englishman—will there be any fraud?" Jackson was also frowning, leaning back in his chair with his arms crossed.

If it hadn't been for this, Jackson would have gone to Jerusalem by now, after all, that was what Jackson had always dreamed of.

After receiving the secret order from the British government, Yang Deshan didn't want Jackson to be involved, but Jackson would not leave at this time anyway.

Jackson, Yang Deshan, and Yang Dehai have been together for several years, and they already have a deep relationship.

"Don't worry, Erwin is now in Gairyan with his troops, and if the British dare to play tricks, Gairyan will be a sea of fire." Yang Dehai was not too worried.

"Childish, if the British are really iron-hearted, what is the Gairyan oil field." Yang Deshan didn't think so, even what Yang Deshan didn't care about, the British naturally didn't care much.

"What then? Shall we do it? "Yang Dehai has no idea, under normal circumstances, Jackson is responsible for using his brain.

"Why not? The British gave us the opportunity, and we would be fools if we didn't want it. Yang Deshan did not want to give up this opportunity, and the situation did not allow Yang Deshan to refuse the request of the British, if Yang Deshan did not do it, then the trust accumulated with the British for so long would be lost.

"It's not easy for the British to fight even if they want to fight any bad intentions, the British have only one division in Egypt, and it is the canal guard force, which cannot be easily mobilized, and the British have not shown signs of mobilizing their troops recently, even if the British want to do something, they will wait until the situation in Egypt stabilizes, but it is not certain who will move by then." Yang Deshan has the intelligence support of the Lanfang National Security Bureau behind him, and he has a good grasp of the intelligence of the British.

"Then I'll go and set it up, and we'll act according to the original plan." Jackson also made up his mind, this opportunity was rare, and Jackson knew what it meant for the Brotherhood Alliance and Lan Fang.

"Go, remember, capture the thief before the king, as long as Fouad I is killed, Egypt will be in our pocket." Yang Deshan was decisive.

"Hehe, no problem." Jackson agreed.

Although Egypt is now nominally an independent country, King Fouad I does not have the right to form an army, and Cairo has only a few police officers without heavy weapons, except for a part of the British army, so it is easy to deal with Fouad I.

As night falls, the Nile is as bustling as ever, and tyrannical emotions are brewing in places where countless lights can't shine.
