Chapter 619: The Royal Family Surrenders
"Saudi royal family, surrender!" Baker said, "These stupid guys! An agreement was reached with Iraq! ”
The United States, betrayed by the Saudis! The United States has always helped Saudi Arabia in the war, but only now has the United States discovered that the Saudis can be stupid!
When Iraq began to attack Saudi Arabia, the United States did its best to help Saudi Arabia resist the invasion of the Iraqis, but because of the Iraqi ballistic missile attack, the American army was defeated. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After a hard battle, the Iraqi army advanced to Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, and in Riyadh, the street fighting was even more difficult, and this kind of battle could only rely on human lives!
Although the Saudi army is not bloody, there is no way to retreat in this case, Riyadh is occupied, which means that Saudi Arabia is dead!
And the Saudi royal family, at this time, is also divided into two factions, the old king Khalid, who is old, obviously can't bear the difficulty of this street fighting, so he led a group of royal family members, retreated from the palace in a gray way, under the protection of the American army, retreated from Riyadh to the holy city of Mecca, in case Riyadh is captured by the Iraqis, there is a government in exile, continue to command the Saudi army to resist!
At the same time, some members of the royal family, led by Prince Fahd, Minister of National Defense, stayed on the front line in Riyadh and fought with Saudi fighters.
The battle is going on day by day, but the situation is not optimistic! If the United States can continuously put in reinforcements, then Riyadh may still be able to hold on, but the United States is vainly trying to encircle Wei to save Zhao and open up a second battlefield from northern Iraq.
And just a few days ago, from the holy city of Mecca, came a news that made the Saudis depressed, the old king Khalid ascended to heaven!
Originally, King Khalid was already seventy years old, and in history, he lived to see the true God for 82 years, and now, he traveled all the way from Riyadh to Mecca, slept in the open along the way, and was frightened, and after arriving in Mecca, he fell ill and finally died.
King Khalid died, and according to Saudi rules, his younger brother, who is also Prince Fahd, took over the king's power and became the new king.
And in this way, a terrible phenomenon has emerged, the current Saudi king is fighting fiercely with the Iraqi army on the front line! Even directing a battle behind the front is quite dangerous!
When it was learned that the old Saudi king had died and the current king was in front of him, the Iraqi army's will to fight was even higher! At the same time, because the situation in northern Iraq has begun to deteriorate, the Iraqi army must also quickly take the Saudi capital, so as to be able to solve the current strategic problem!
Under such circumstances, Iraq's most elite Republican Guard, fought fiercely with the American and Saudi armies, and because there was no air strike force, the Americans fought very hard, and retreated, and after several days of fierce fighting, the Iraqi army surrounded the Saudi palace!
The Saudi royal family, the Saudi royal family who stayed in the royal palace in Riyadh, was dumplings like this.
Faced with this situation, King Fahd also knew that there was no way out if they continued to defend the palace, and they could only break through to fight their way out!
So, King Fahd with the last guard, launched a counterattack, but unfortunately, this breakthrough was tragic, and even King Fahd fell on the road to the breakout!
Within a few days, several Saudi kings died one after another, and those members of the Saudi royal family who had no hope of breaking through were all captured by the Iraqi army!
Although there are bloody Fahd and others in the Saudi royal family, most of the members of the Saudi royal family have long been intoxicated by the drunken gold fascination after years of affluent life. And the new king who succeeds is a complete soft egg!
King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz, in 64 years, after the assassination of King Faisal, entered the government and was appointed as the second deputy prime minister, that is, the heir to the throne behind Khalid, the first deputy prime minister, in history, after King Khalid died of illness in June 82, he was made ****, and concurrently served as the first deputy prime minister and commander of the National Guard, until the death of King Fahd, he became the new king of Saudi Arabia.
And now, King Abdullah became the king of Saudi Arabia early, but unfortunately, this king does not have a few good days in total, and he has just succeeded to the throne, and he has already been captured by the Iraqi army!
Not all of them will be able to fight to the death, and Iraq, after capturing these royal family members, did not rush to kill them all, but sat down and communicated.
The negotiation process is simple, Saudi Arabia, this kind of royal rule, is outdated! Saudi Arabia needs democratic elections, and it needs a new government that conforms to the will of the people! Therefore, the Saudi royal family must step down! They can no longer rule the Saudis!
At the same time, the new Saudi government will give the Saudi royal family various benefits, simply put, the Saudi royal family must give up their power, but they can also enjoy their wealth, in this way, just like the current Britain, the prime minister is in power, and the royal family still exists.
For Abdullah, he has no choice, if he does not agree, then these captured members of the Saudi royal family will be shot! In the face of death, Abdullah chose to be submissive.
And just like that, the Saudi royal family betrayed their backstage, the United States, and came to an agreement with the Iraqis! The efforts of the United States in the Middle East have completely come to naught!
With the complete fall of Riyadh, after the United States paid tens of thousands of casualties, the remaining troops, who also withdrew from Riyadh, are retreating in the direction of Mecca!
This news was also urgently transmitted to the United States, to the White House, hearing this bad news, everyone felt that their eyes were dark, in order to maintain strategic security in the Middle East, the United States overspent so much military spending, and at the same time paid the price of tens of thousands of casualties, at a critical time, even nuclear weapons were revealed, and what was the result obtained?
Reagan felt a tightness in his chest, and it seemed as if old blood could spurt out at any moment.
"No, we must not sit idly by and watch this happen." Bush said on the side: "The surrender of the Saudi royal family is not in accordance with Saudi legal procedures, we are in Mecca, and there are also members of the Saudi royal family, from this, find out a qualified royal family member, succeed the position of Saudi king, and continue to lead the Saudi battle!"
