"First of all, I have no right to order His Majesty the King of the Hejaz to do anything, the Hejaz is a sovereign state recognized by the Ming Empire, not a certain subject state of the Ming Empire, so what His Majesty the King of the Hejaz wants to do, that is his freedom, and does not need the approval of anyone, including me.

Second, the dispute between the Kingdom of Hejaz and the Kingdom of Najd is a matter between the two countries, no other country has the right to interfere, we should not interfere, you should not interfere either, as for the Kingdom of Jordan, His Majesty Hussein and His Majesty Faisal are cousins of the same great-grandfather, he certainly has the right to help his younger brother, and as a member of the Hashemite family, he also has the right to fight to reclaim his family's hereditary territory.

Thirdly, the war between the Kingdom of Yemen and the Kingdom of Najd has nothing to do with the war between the Hashemite family and the Kingdom of Najd, they just coincidentally chose the same time, and the Kingdom of Yemen has no diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty, although I myself very much hope that peace will be restored in the Middle East, but it is clear that they cannot be asked to do anything for this!

As for the Ming weapons currently used by the Hejaz army, some of them are leased, including those warships, and it is their freedom to use them during the lease period, and as a lessor, we have no right to interfere, and the other part is purchased by them, and it is also their freedom to use the weapons they purchase. As for the Chinese in the Hejaz army, they hired them, and there were others who volunteered in their personal capacity, and you also know that the Ming Empire was free in terms of religious beliefs, and there were also a large number of muslins in our country, and it was also their freedom to volunteer to fight to help their saints.

That's all I have to say.

Are you satisfied now? ”

Yang Feng said to Johnson.

"Your Excellency, what about the Kunlun aircraft carrier formation outside the port of Jeddah?"

Johnson said unceremoniously.

Of course, he didn't come to listen to Yang Feng's nonsense, the Mi government only cares about one thing, once Mi intervenes in the war, the carrier-based opportunities on this aircraft carrier will not participate in the war. In other words, will the Ming Empire directly participate in the war.

"That's to protect the Ming expatriate, you also know that there are currently many citizens of the Ming Empire there, and as the Ming army, they have the responsibility to protect their own expatriate."

Yang Feng said.

"You don't mean the Chinese soldiers under Faisal II, do you?"

Johnson said with a sneer.

"Yes, that's them!"

Yang Feng said very frankly.

Johnson was so angry that he almost spat in his face, what kind of logic is this, you citizens of the Ming Empire went to be mercenaries to help Faisal II invade Najd. Then your aircraft carrier formation runs to protect their safety, which means that as long as the Najd army kills Chinese soldiers in battle, you can beat them under the sign of protecting overseas Chinese, and you can't be shameless to this point?

In the end, Yang Feng still didn't give him a clear answer, and it is still unknown whether the Kunlun aircraft carrier will directly participate in the war.

"Your Excellency, I hereby make a formal declaration to you that our navy, at the invitation of the Kingdom of Najd, will go to the Hejaz region to maintain peace."

He took a deep breath and said very directly.

This is to tell Yang Feng. The U.S. military will intervene in this war, and we'll see you on the Hejaz battlefield for the rest.

"We deeply regret this, and at the same time firmly oppose any country's involvement in the dispute between the Kingdom of Hejaz and the Kingdom of Najd, and we must remind all relevant countries to guarantee the safety of the lives and property of the Ming Empire's nationals."

Yang Feng said as seriously as a spokesman for the protest department.

Johnson didn't say anything more, and then took his leave and left, now there is no point in saying anything, and it is good to see the truth on the battlefield. Anyway, Yang Feng has already drawn out the Dao'er, and the Ming army will not intervene in this war as a direct identity for the time being. The Ming army of the Hejaz were all mercenaries of Faisal II and had nothing to do with the Ming Empire.

Then this also means that the scale of this war is still strictly controlled, at least for the time being, then it will be fought, and the government of the United States has long wanted to try to fight directly with the Ming army for so many years, just taking this opportunity to test what level this army that has been invincible for more than ten years is.

"Führer, really fighting?"

After Johnson left, Hu Hao said cautiously.

"Of course it's a real fight. Anyway, I'd love to see what the U.S. military is. ”

Yang Feng said with a sneer.

Just after the official showdown between the two sides, the Saratoga aircraft carrier group of the Sixth Fleet immediately sailed into the Suez Canal from the Mediterranean, and behind it the Coral Sea aircraft carrier group also left Gaeta and sailed to the Suez Canal as a follow-up reinforcement. At the same time, the US government directly announced that it would go to the Hejaz at the invitation of the Kingdom of Najd to maintain peace on the ground, and at the same time issued an ultimatum to all the warring parties, demanding that all armies immediately cease fire and withdraw from Najd, otherwise sanctions will be imposed on the Kingdom of Jordan and Yemen.

By this time, the Najd army that had counterattacked Mecca had already exchanged fire with the Hejaz army.

The real Hejaz army is not the Ming army that watches the excitement in the tank with a cold drink, because the Najd army that came to attack is not worth their attack at all.

"When children fight, adults just watch!"

The commander of the 4th Marine Brigade of the Ming Army sat leisurely under the parasol and said, he was like the British colonists in the past, looking at the small table next to him, there were tea sets and pastries on the table, and there was a respectful servant standing behind him, and in the sky in front of him, a Najd Air Force Sabre fighter who came to bomb was falling with flames, and the other was climbing up in panic, and under this plane, the wake of a missile flight was approaching at high speed, and a second later, this Saber also followed in the footsteps of the first one.

It was the Hawk anti-aircraft missile that shot down these enemy planes.

"Brigade commander, telegram from headquarters, the U.S. military may have to enter the war, let us be careful."

His chief of staff came over and said.

"That's just right, we haven't fought the U.S. army yet, it's boring to always fight some small minions, and this time we will also compete with the main one!"

The brigade commander said.

Indeed, bullying the Neizhi Army is too boring for them, at this time, the Neizhi Army has not yet reached the level of a big dog, in fact, they didn't even have a real army at this time in history, but they still played their traditional all-people soldier model. Now, because of the different situation, they formed their own national defense forces three years ago and armed the navy, land and air forces with a large number of American and British arms, but they are still not too strong, and they are not even as strong as Syria, which has just been armed with a full set of Soviet-style arms.

In fact, at this time, the Najd army could not even defeat the mercenaries of Faisal II, and by the time they said this, the first Najd army that counterattacked Mecca had already been defeated.

A brigade of the Najd Army and an M48 tank battalion from Medina marched south along the road to Mecca, and collided head-on with the defense line of the 1st Division of the Hejaz Army at Osfan, and then the elite of the Najd Army was tragic. Dozens of M48 tanks purchased at a high price in the face of the Red Arrow II anti-tank missiles, a total of less than 15 minutes before the whole army was wiped out, the desert open terrain is too suitable for this kind of weapon, three kilometers away one by one Red Arrow missiles dragged thin wires flew out, with a static armor-piercing depth of up to 800 millimeters of metal jets easily hit the target, Najd tanks did not even kill a single enemy turned into a burning torch.

As for the next battle between the infantry, they really can't beat those mercenaries, with a large number of retired Pakistani veterans as the core, with the feverish Shiite Persian mercenaries whose brains are about to be occupied by the Holy Land as the backbone, plus the Palestinian refugees who can move their families to the Holy Land with the permission of Faisal II, such a combination plus the AK47, rocket launchers, small rocket launchers specially equipped for them, the mercenaries are also extremely fierce, and the Najd army was beaten out of temper after a big battle, They could only retreat to the Hejaz Mountains and hold on for the time being.

In fact, King Najd also understood that he could not win this war, he had a total of such a small population, excluding the old and weak women and children, there could be a million young and middle-aged people who could reach the sky, and then remove some messy crippled and stupid, this proportion among them has always been very high, and then remove those half-hearted tribal chiefs, from the port of Jeddah and Mecca almost without a fight, we know that the proportion of such guys is also very high, so the young and middle-aged people who can really fight for him are only two or three hundred thousand.

But how many enemies are there?

Jordan, Yemen's population combined surpasses him, Babylon is eyeing hundreds of thousands of troops on the border, maybe when it will join the battlefield, behind Yemen are Egypt and Syria, once there is really a cheap to make Nasser will definitely not miss it, Pahlavi, as Yang Feng's loyal lackey, may also give face to the boss behind him to join this war.

What is he capable of resisting so many hungry wolves?

In the final analysis, Najd's victory or defeat does not lie with him, but with the boss behind him.

After the failure of the counterattack on Mecca, he immediately urged the US military to reinforce quickly, but fortunately, Mi Lao was still very reliable, the first US ground force was soon airlifted to Medina, and another batch of transport planes also landed at the Riyadh airport, bringing him a large number of the latest arms, and at the same time the Saratoga aircraft carrier formation also sailed through the Suez Canal, and two US destroyers even blocked the Strait of Tiran to prevent Yang Feng from transporting arms to Jordan.

But it didn't help.

Just when the two destroyers were formally imposing sanctions on the country on the grounds of Jordan's invasion of Najd, 30 Hercules transport planes flying from Djibouti, escorted by Ghost and Tiger Shark fighters that took off from the Port Suez base, the Kunlun aircraft carrier, and the Djibouti base, swaggered over the heads of the Americans, and delivered hundreds of tons of weapons and ammunition to Hussein.
