Chapter 553: Hosting the Middle East

Even Xiao Zhenlei himself did not expect that this time the negotiations with these indigenous emirs (chiefs, chiefs) on the Arabian Peninsula would be so smooth, and the treaties and agreements would also be signed very smoothly, although in Xiao Zhenlei's own opinion, the signing of these treaties and agreements was still slightly unfavorable to these countries and regions, after all, the leased land for use as a military base and the joint establishment of an energy company were managed by Huaguo, although both sides held 50% of the shares, but the extracted energy, Huaguo has the right of first refusal and preferential rights, And because the management is in charge of the Chinese side, so the pricing power and export rights are controlled by the Chinese side, which is equivalent to the oil exploited on the Arabian Peninsula is basically controlled by the Chinese state, you must know that the oil is the blood of industry, and controlling it is equivalent to controlling the world industry, and it will have a great right to speak in international politics.

But for the emirs of the Arabian Peninsula, these treaties and agreements were much more equal than those signed with the British, who were completely colonial, and before the two, they of course had to choose to sign treaties and agreements with China.

After the agreement and a series of treaties were signed, Xiao Zhenlei hosted a banquet for these emirs, and after the banquet, Xiao Zhenlei talked to them one by one.

In with Ibn? In the next conversation between Saudi Arabia, Xiao Zhenlei made it clear that he supported Ibn ? Saudi Arabia established a state on its own soil and supported him to become the king of the new state, Ibn ? Saudi Arabia was delighted, and he said that if the founding of the country was successful, he would remember the kindness of President Xiao Da and Huaguo, and swore to be witnessed by the Prophet Muhammad. Always abide by the provisions of the agreements and treaties, regard China as an eternal ally of the new Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and establish eternal friendship. Xiao Zhenlei said that he was looking forward to it.

In a conversation with Yemeni Islamic leader Iyanm, Xiao Zhenlei, on behalf of the Chinese authorities, expressed his willingness to merge South Yemen and North Yemen. And support Iyanm to establish the kingdom of Yemen, Iyanm was extremely excited to hear it, he originally thought that it would be very good to be able to establish a kingdom in North Yemen, but he didn't expect Huaguo to be so generous, and he was willing to merge South Yemen and North Yemen, since Huaguo was so generous, he couldn't help but express it, he immediately expressed his willingness to lease Aden City to Huaguo for no time term. The port of Aden is a necessary transit point from the Indian Ocean to the Red Sea. It is a choke point, a large port city with an extremely developed economy, and the control of the port of Aden is almost equivalent to the control of the throat into the Mediterranean. Xiao Zhenlei happily accepted Yiyanmu's offer, and the two discussed and decided that in addition to the strategic cooperative partnership, the two countries would forever become friendly countries.

Xiao Zhenlei then held talks with the king of the Saeyid dynasty of Oman, Taimur, and Xiao Zhenlei said that he would support the absolute rule of the Saeyid dynasty over the kingdom of Oman in the future, and Taimur was nothing more than a puppet of the British in the Omani kingdom. Although he took over the throne from his father, there were actually British in Oman, and he could not do anything, and this time China was willing to support him. And let him govern the country according to his own wishes, which touched him very much, and he said that he would be willing to become an eternal ally and friendly country with Huaguo. Diplomatically, it has reached a consensus with China and strictly implemented the treaty and agreement.

At last. Xiao Zhenlei also held talks with the emirs of Trusil Oman, and he suggested that everyone sit down and negotiate. Stop the senseless wars and build a state that will be governed on a rotational basis every five or four years, and he said that China can act as an arbiter in this regard, vigorously defending the fairness and impartiality of Trusil Oman, and maintaining the order and stability of the newly formed state.

Under Xiao Zhenlei's advice, these emirs from all over Trusil Oman also thought that it would be very disadvantageous for them to continue fighting, and it was better to listen to Xiao Zhenlei's advice and everyone sat down to discuss the joint establishment of a new country, and the emirs took turns ruling for the United Arab Emirates.

Solving the affairs of the Arabian Peninsula, Xiao Zhenlei breathed a sigh of relief, now there is only the Middle East left, the Middle East is currently under the control of the Chinese army, but it does not yet have the conditions to support the local forces to build a country, the first is because there are no more prestigious people and forces in various places, on the other hand, because there are many ethnic groups in the Middle East, and each has its own faith, many ethnic groups and tribes often fight with other tribes for their own beliefs, during the reign of the Ottoman Empire, the local ethnic groups are afraid of the bloody suppression of the Ottoman Empire, Therefore, they did not dare to act rashly, but now that the Ottoman Empire has ruled the region, many peoples are ready to move again.

For example, many Jews from all over the world rushed to Jerusalem, and many Jews wanted to establish a state, but the situation on the ground was too complicated, some believed in Christianity, some believed in Judaism, and some believed in Islam, and none of them obeyed each other, and many of the denominations were divided into several factions, each with its own disputes, and these religious believers were very extreme, and if they could not do so, they would take extreme measures.

In view of this, in order to maintain stability in the Middle East, Xiao Zhenlei decided to entrust the Middle East region to the Chinese government, and the Chinese government to set up military governments in various parts of the Middle East, and then the military government would recruit local people to carry out specific local management, recruit some local people to maintain local law and order, and prepare for supporting the local people to form a new government in the future.

Xiao Zhenlei knew very well that it was impossible to swallow the Middle East, the reason why the Ottoman Empire was able to rule here for hundreds of years was because of the proximity and bloody suppression, while Huaguo was too far away from here to reach the whip, and it was absolutely impossible to rule completely.

The main reason why it was decided to support local forces to establish a country here in the future is because of the oil under here, if it is found that there is a large amount of oil under the Middle East in the future, and this is only a trusteeship, then other countries will soon pounce like wolves that have asked the smell of blood, but if they support local forces to establish a country in the local area in the future, when these lands have owners, coupled with the protection and support of China, other countries will not dare to fight the idea of these lands. And China can get a lot of benefits from it, controlling the oil trade in the Middle East, plus the oil of the Arabian Peninsula, then China is equivalent to controlling most of the world's oil trade, who dares to oppose it?

After this decision, Xiao Zhenlei summoned the envoys and ministers of Britain, France, Russia and other Entente countries in China, and announced to them the decision of the Chinese side, after all, the Middle East region cannot always be maintained by the Chinese army, so the Chinese government decided to set up several military governments in the Middle East, recruit local educated and prestigious people for administrative management, recruit some strong men for training for a period of time, issue them weapons, and let them be responsible for local security.

After all, the Middle East has been ruled by the Ottoman Empire before, and it was the Chinese army that defeated the Ottoman army and ended the Ottoman Empire's rule in the Middle East.

According to Xiao Zhenlei's idea, the Middle East is still divided according to the political pattern of another time and space, because no matter if the territorial boundaries are divided, there will never be peace on this ground, the main reason is that there are too many beliefs and too many races, especially Jerusalem and the surrounding areas, people of all faiths say that Jerusalem is their holy city, so they have to rob Jerusalem, and what Huaguo has to do is to act as a mediator in the Middle East, act as a Middle East policeman, whoever is disobedient will do whomever will do it, and whoever is obedient will give him dates. And all China needs is oil from these places, and nothing else is worth it.

Xiao Zhenlei communicated these ideas with other high-ranking officials of the Predator and the main officials of the cabinet, and after deliberation, they reached a unified idea, that is, to support Xiao Zhenlei's decision, divide the Middle East region into Iraq, Kuwait, Syria, Jordan, Israel, and Palestine, establish governorships in these regions, and send troops to assist the governor's office.

According to the instructions of Xiao Zhenlei and the top leaders of the Predator and the top cabinet officials, these people who were appointed as governors will bring some officials to establish governors' offices in various parts of the Middle East with the assistance of the army, and the governor's office will directly command an army, and a governor's office will directly command no more than one division, and in terms of security, the governor's office will recruit locals, and after a period of training, these people will be issued weapons, and the Chinese military officers will be the chief of police to manage the security forces, and at the same time, some cultures will be recruited from all over the Middle East. In terms of administration, the Governor's Office can delegate power to these locals, and it is best for the locals to govern the locals, and the Governor's Office only needs to give support, of course, these locals who do administrative work must absolutely obey the Governor's Office, and cannot engage in confrontation with the Governor's Office, let alone contact foreign forces to disagree, otherwise the Governor's Office will suppress it.

On the other hand, the security forces are not only responsible for maintaining local law and order, but also responsible for eliminating forces hostile to the Chinese state and the local governor's office, and for such forces, they must be resolutely eradicated and ruthless, especially some local tribal nobles, who have some forces in their hands and want to obtain greater power and more land, and even local nobles want to set up an armed force to drive out the Chinese, the governor's palace must resolutely crack down on these forces, catch one and kill the other, and punish them in a canonical manner. Of course, as long as this kind of thing is carried out by the security forces and the locals, the Chinese garrison is responsible for cooperating and providing the necessary support.
