When the Kingdom of Iraq was formed, there was a CF army trained by the British, but with Iraq's independence, British influence in the Middle East diminished. This army was also taken over by the Iraqi government.

Later, after Faisal came to power, he directly invited Chinese military instructors to train the troops, and the whole army was equipped with Chinese weapons and equipment. The former British, American, Italian, French, Soviet and other weapons were all replaced with weapons and equipment provided by China.

The arsenal of the Wanguo brand has become a Chinese weapon. As a result, the combat effectiveness of the troops has been slightly improved, especially after being trained by Chinese military instructors, and the combat effectiveness has been increasing day by day.

The founding of the Chinese Empire was the rise of the Western powers by stepping on the faces of the Western powers, which not only brought great excitement to the people in the Middle East, but also proved to the world that the Chinese army was strong. Therefore, over the years, Chinese weapons and military instructors have been very popular in the Middle East.

The Middle East region is also determined to keep up with China and use its own hands to drive away those Western powers. It will be a long time, but they have not lost faith. Especially with the support of China, they all believe that this time will not last much longer.

Iran and Iraq have both achieved independence, but there is still one country that is not currently in power and is under constant threat from the Soviet Union. If it weren't for Germany's attack on the Soviet Union, I'm afraid that Afghanistan would not be so calm today, even if the Soviet Union was afraid of China's influence and did not dare to blatantly occupy Afghanistan, I am afraid that there would be no less actions behind the scenes.

In the early days, Afghanistan was the same as Iran. All originated in Persia.

The Sada is a nomadic people, originally living in Jinshan, and the subjects belong to Rouran, and the Romans call it the "White Huns". At the beginning of the fifth century, it moved westward, and later conquered the Ili River Valley, the Transoxiana region, Tocharo, and northwestern India, and defeated Sassanid Persia, killing its king, and became a formidable power, with its center of rule in present-day Afghanistan, and its professing religion.

Around 567. Sassanid Persia and the Western Turks united to defeat the Hinda. Divide its territory with the Amu Darya River as its boundary. Tocharian was assigned to Persia, but was soon seized by the Western Turks.

In 627, the Western Turkic Yehu Khan sent his eldest son to establish a Turkic dynasty in Tocharia. After the Tang army destroyed the Western Turks, the Turkic dynasty of Tocharian declared itself a vassal to the Tang. The Tang Dynasty placed the Yue Clan's capital here.

In addition, there were a number of small states belonging to Tochar in and around present-day Afghanistan: Humi, Hushiqian (Tang Zhisha Prefecture), Zobin (Xiuxian Prefecture), Fanyan (Wufeng Prefecture), Khataro Branch (Tiaozhi Prefecture), and Gulu (Gaofu Prefecture).

Other than that. The Tang Dynasty also named Belus, the son of the last king of Persia who had come into exile to the Tang Dynasty, as king of Persia from 662 to 674. The Persian Governorate was placed in eastern Persia and Afghanistan.

At the beginning of the eighth century, the Arabs entered and took control of Tochar. Since the Battle of Talas in 751. All the countries of the Western Regions west of the Green Mountains were attributed to the Arabs, and after that, Central Asia gradually became Islamized until today.

In 1747, Ahmet, the chief of Abu Dari, took advantage of the decline of Persia to become independent and established the Kingdom of Afghanistan, making a unified Afghan state formal. It has gone through two dynasties: the Abu Darid dynasty and the Barakzai dynasty. During this period, it defeated the British invasion three times.

Later, in modern times, Afghanistan has been a British colony that Britain and Russia have repeatedly contested. Afghanistan survives between these two beasts.

However, this situation was soon broken, and the unification of the Chinese Empire began to devote itself to the security of the surrounding area. He also began to gradually increase trade with the Afghans, and secretly supported the Afghans to build up their own armed forces, and began to move towards the pace of nation-building.

In addition, from the beginning of the construction of the railway, troops were gradually sent into the Afghan region, and many times they faced off with the Soviet army.

So far, the Soviets have occupied northern Afghanistan, and the British have retreated to Pakistan, where the places in between belong to free land.

Chen Shao is very concerned about the Middle East, but his energy is limited, and his hand can reach a lot of places at present. From Xinjiang, you can go directly to the Palestinian areas. It is equivalent to that now China can directly go by land, from Xinjiang to the Mediterranean. Although it is a long road, it is not possible to get there.

As for the Palestinian region, it is now the world of the Jews, and it is a nation that has good relations with China. With China's enormous influence in the Middle East, these Jews did not have the trouble of later generations.

Palestine is located in the western part of Asia, at the strategic point of transportation in Asia, Africa and Europe, and it is also close to the southern territory before the Soviet war.

In the 11th century B.C., the Jews established the Hebrew Kingdom, and later Assyria, Babylon, Persia and other foreign nations occupied Palestine. The Roman Empire invaded in the 1st century BC, and most of the Jews fled to various parts of the world.

It became part of the Arab Empire in the 7th century AD. The Arabs continued to move in and assimilate into the local indigenous population, gradually forming the modern Palestinian Arabs. From the 16th century, Palestine became part of the Ottoman Empire.

In 1920, Britain divided Palestine into eastern and western parts with the Jordan River as the boundary, the eastern part was called Transjordan (now the Kingdom of Jordan), and the western part still called Palestine (now Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip) as the British Mandate.

By the time the Jews migrated from China, the Jewish organizations and the benefits given by China made the British withdraw from the area and put it in the hands of the Jews. It became the main gathering place for Jews today.

And under the vigorous maneuvering of China, there was no bloodshed between the two sides. Later, the Jews gradually moved to what is now Israel, and with the help of China, began to arm the Jewish army.

Like Iraq and Iran, Chinese weapons and equipment were used, and Chinese military instructors were hired to train Jewish troops. Become one of the staunchest supporters of China in the Middle East.

Although the Jews have not yet been founded, they have already had the rudiments of a state. Moreover, the Jews wanted to have an armed force that belonged entirely to the Jews sooner rather than to establish a state. They are fed up with wandering and insecure.

However, Iran is different from Iraq and Afghanistan, and China does not make much money in the construction of the armed forces of these three countries, mainly to cultivate younger brothers. And the Jews have money, and Chen Shao does not earn anything in vain.

Of course, there are still a number of Jews who continue to stay in the Palestinian area, which is well connected.

As for the Arabian Peninsula and northern Afghanistan, Chen Shao's hand did not reach there. The reason is, now is not the time. In the past, Chen Shao did not have much ambition for the Suez Canal, and he did not want to touch the bottom line of the interests of Western countries.

As for now, it will only be up to us to see if the pace of the war will go there.

Xia Mengyu came quickly, and in Hanjing in winter, he could still see the sweat on the face of the secret service leader, and it could be seen that he was in a hurry after receiving Chen Shao's order.

"Your Majesty, did you summon me for any purpose?" As soon as he entered the imperial study, Xia Mengyu immediately asked.

"Well, there's something very important." Chen Shao didn't say any useless nonsense, and went straight to the topic: "How many spies do we have in India?" ”

"One hundred and seven." Xia Mengyu replied directly.

"How many are in the Allied Forces? The position is not high. "Chen Shao is not Xia Mengyu, a spy from all over the world, he doesn't know much. As for the details of the spy, he knew even less.

"There are not many, only eighteen, and the one with the highest position at the moment is a lieutenant colonel, and it is difficult to get access to core secrets." Xia Mengyu replied truthfully.

Chen Shao was not satisfied with this answer, frowned unconsciously, and asked again: "Are there any spies who have penetrated into the US reinforcements?" ”

Xia Mengyu stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat stains on his face, feeling the slightest coldness, but compared to the coolness that Chen Shao frowned on, this coolness was nothing.

"After receiving the news from James, there are spies in the American and Indian reinforcements, but the highest one is only a colonel, and it is difficult to access the core secrets."

Shaking his head, Chen Shao also understood that spies are not omnipotent sometimes, especially within the US military, spies have not been involved for a long time. Mainly because of the size of the US troops in the past.

"I have a very important task for you. You, the Military Intelligence Agency, must always keep an eye on the movements of the Indian allies and listen to their radio at all times. It is important to note that if it is discovered that India's allies are moving to the western region in large numbers, they must report it immediately, no matter what time it is. "That's the only thing that can be done at the moment, it's better than sitting back and waiting.

"Yes." Xia Mengyu hurriedly replied.

"There's one more thing, you have to inform the fifth and sixth rooms." Chen Shao walked to Xia Mengyu's side and whispered in his ear, "Let them ...... immediately"

"Yes." After listening to Chen Shao's words, Xia Mengyu spoke again.

"Go down!" Chen Shao waved his hand, signaling that Xia Mengyu could leave.

Coming and going in a hurry, this is Xia Mengyu's current life. Walking out of the imperial study, Xia Mengyu breathed a sigh of relief, and then showed an inexplicable look on his face and walked back to his nest.

Seeing Xia Mengyu's back in the distance, Chen Shao felt a little helpless in his heart. The layout was too big, and he felt a kind of exhaustion that came from the depths of his soul.

China is not ready to use force against India now, and if China had been ready to attack India in all matters, there would be no trouble like today. As long as India was attacked from the east, the Allies did not have the idea of fighting the Persian Gulf with all their might.

India is a populous country, and Indians are reproducing (not a typo) at a rapid rate. Under the oppressive rule of the Allies, coupled with the huge logistics warehouse of the United States, a large number of Indian soldiers could be armed.

Without being prepared, Chen Shao did not want the Chinese army to get bogged down in the quagmire of war in India. Therefore, he is a little helpless in his heart. (To be continued.) )
