The capital, the presidential palace.

Xiao Zhenlei took a towel to wipe his sweat, walked to the electric fan and blew it for a few minutes, and finally felt cooler, and then returned to the desk to continue working.

At this time, the secretary Xiao Gao knocked on the door and walked in and said, "President, this is the battle situation and combat report sent by the General Staff, and some of them need to be reviewed by you immediately!" ”

"Oh, okay, you put it here, I'll see it right away!" Xiao Zhenlei pointed to the side of the table with a pen.

"Okay!" Xiao Gao placed Wen Jiàn in the empty seat to the left of his desk, and then withdrew.

Xiao Zhenlei finished processing a few documents on hand, picked up a document folder that Xiao Gao had just sent, opened it and read it, this was reported by Zhang Xiaozhun, they planned to let Wu Peifu take 20,000 Vietnamese soldiers and 3,000 Gurkha soldiers and a regiment of Chinese troops to sneak attack the headquarters of the German 11th Army in Zhytomyr.

Xiao Zhenlei carefully read the battle plan, and after a little thought, he wrote the word "agree" at the beginning with a red pen. It stands to reason that this kind of battle plan does not need to be reported to Xiao Zhenlei for approval, and it can be decided on the spot with Zhang Xiaozhun's authority, but because the position of the Second Army is very critical, any step of its active battle plan may affect the overall strategic situation, Zhang Xiaozhun is also worried that Wu Peifu's military action will make the entire battle situation develop in an unpredictable direction, so he sent a battle plan to the country, if the country does not allow it, then this military action will be stopped, and what Wu Peifu has done is useless. Although this was a golden opportunity to destroy the German 11th Army, this little victory was insignificant in the face of the overall strategic picture.

The reason why Xiao Zhenlei agreed to this battle plan. Because even if they have some victories here, they are negligible in terms of the results of the Russian army's summer offensive. Germany was much stronger in land than the Entente countries, and the loss of an army group was not a big deal. This was not enough to arouse the great concern of the German high command, and the main focus of the German army was still on the British, and a temporary defeat on the Eastern Front was still bearable for Germany.

However, if China had stationed a large number of fighters and air force units on the Eastern Front to completely suppress the Luftwaffe and even control air supremacy, then the German army would absolutely not tolerate such a situation, and air supremacy was related to the initiative in the entire regional operation. The Germans could retreat or advance, which was why Xiao Zhenlei only agreed to send 60 fighters to Eastern Europe, he didn't want to draw the main attention of the German army from the British to the Eastern Front, and Britain needed to be further weakened by the German army.

Xiao Zhenlei took out the second document, which was a battle plan report sent by Wu Shiyou, the commander of the First Army Corps located in Asia Minor, and now the First Army of the Chinese Army has captured most of the Asia Minor Peninsula, leaving only a small part of the northwest corner still in the hands of the Ottoman Empire, and the 3rd Army supported by the Austro-Hungarian Empire was blocked in Constantinople (the Ottoman Empire has long been renamed Istanbul, but the Western countries still become Constantinople) and cannot pass through the Guò Strait. The Chinese naval expeditionary fleet and the French fleet blockaded the Turkish Straits and the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed V was tempted to surrender so that the country would not continue to be ravaged by the war, but he himself was in Constantinople under the control of the Young Turks and the Austro-Hungarian army. Unable to do this.

Wu Shiyou proposed in his battle plan report that the Navy Expeditionary Fleet should be used to escort the troops and transport the soldiers of the First Army of the Expeditionary Force to land in the Balkans to attack the Austro-Hungarian army. The wars in the Middle East have ended, and the Ottoman rule in the Middle East has come to an end. The Middle East was now under the control of the First Chinese Army, and most of the Asia Minor Peninsula was occupied by the Chinese army. The war with the Ottoman Empire will soon end, the First Army Corps has been fighting very frequently in the past two months, Xiao Zhenlei believes that the First Army Corps should also enter a period of recuperation, in addition to the army needs to replenish supplies, logistics and transportation lines need to be strengthened, and logistics and transportation capabilities should be further increased, on the other hand, if the Chinese army lands in the Balkans, the Austro-Hungarian army is of course vulnerable, but it will soon attract strong German army units, in this period, Xiao Zhenlei did not want to attract all the forces of the German Army to the southeast, because the time was not yet ripe.

Xiao Zhenlei believed that now was not the time to land on the Balkan Peninsula, so he wrote the sentence "I do not agree, and the troops will rest and wait for their lives after the capture of the Asia Minor Peninsula" in Wu Shiyou's battle plan, and then put Wen Jiàn aside.

Next, Xiao Zhenlei processed all the texts sent by Xiao Gao at a very fast speed, looked at the time, put down the pen and got up to move his body, poured himself a cup of herbal tea, closed his eyes and rested for a while.

Soon, the secretary Xiao Gao came in and said: "Great President, meet with the emir of the Najd region of the Arabian Peninsula (the title of nobility of the Arab countries, also known as the governor, chief, chief, etc.) Ibn?" The time has come for the emirs of Saudi Arabia, the Kingdom of Oman's Sayyid dynasty of Taimur, the Islamic leader of Yemen Iyanm, and the emirs of Trussil Aman (later the UAE).

Xiao Zhenlei opened his eyes and got up and said, "Okay, let's go!" ”

In another time and space, the emir of the Najd region, Ibn ? Saud was the first king of the modern Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and forty years ago, the House of Saud established the Wahhabi dynasty on the Arabian Peninsula. This dynasty was defeated in 1818 by the Ottoman governor of Egypt, Muhammad ? Ali was devastated, and the Wahhabis were dealt a heavy blow. Subsequently, the Saud family fled to Kuwait. In 1901, Ibn? Saudi Arabia led the crowd from Kuwait to Najd. The conquest of Riyadh in 1902 followed by the cessation of a number of tribal rebellions instigated by the Turks established a dominant position in Najd. But until the thirties, Ibn ? Saudi Arabia's position in the Arabian Peninsula is also equivalent to that of a tribal leader.

Now the Chinese army drove out the Ottoman troops and officials in the Arabian Peninsula, ending the Ottoman rule in the Arabian Peninsula, so the right to speak in the Arabian Peninsula was controlled by the Chinese. If the kings and emirs of Saudi Arabia and other Arab regions and countries want to establish their own states in the Arabian Peninsula, they must seek the support of China. Saudi Arabia and others asked to see Xiao Zhenlei, hoping to get the support of China.

As soon as he came to the reception hall for foreign guests, Xiao Zhenlei saw some Arabs wearing white robes from Arab countries walking in, these people were still very young, these Arabs came over one by one to shake hands with Xiao Zhenlei, and their expressions and movements were extremely respectful.

Xiao Zhenlei shook hands with them one by one and welcomed them, and after the meeting, Xiao Zhenlei invited them to sit down and began to talk to them.

Among these men, Ibn ? The territory of Saudi Arabia is the largest, that is, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the later generations, and the Kingdom of Oman was a British colony before, Yemen is now divided into South Yemen and North Yemen, South Yemen was previously controlled by the British, North Yemen was controlled by the Ottoman Empire, the Saeed Dynasty of the Kingdom of Oman was also controlled by the British, and Trusil Oman (UAE) was also controlled by the British, but after the outbreak of this war, the Ottoman army attacked these areas and drove out the local British, In one fell swoop, they seized control of these areas, and now that the Ottoman Empire has been defeated, the Chinese army has taken control of these areas.

Yemen's Islamic leader Iyanm does not have an army at his disposal, he is just an Arab who opposes Ottoman rule, he has some influence in North Yemen, he has a large number of believers, and his desire for the support of China is the strongest.

Xiao Zhenlei invited them to tea, and said: "What about your intentions, I already know it, I can support you to restore the country, and even establish a country on your current land, these are not problems, and my country has no intention of encroaching on your current land, and will not establish colonies around the world like Britain and France, but I have a few conditions that I hope you will agree: First, my country hopes to establish a long-term strategic cooperative partnership with your country, and the two sides can form an offensive and defensive alliance, and be consistent in diplomacy, On this basis, I hope that you can lease a piece of land on behalf of your country for our garrison, but you can rest assured that our country will not interfere in your country's internal affairs, and the purpose of our garrison is only to protect our interests in the Middle East and protect your country from other stock prices; Second, China hopes to have the priority of developing and exploiting minerals, oil and other energy resources in your country, if possible, China hopes to jointly establish an energy company with your government, by your land, general workers, we will provide technology, equipment, technology and management personnel, and the management will be responsible for our country's people, and you will send the original as a deputy to assist, and the two sides will each have half of the shares, and the grassroots employees will hire domestic citizens of your country, so as to solve the job problems of some people in your country. If the above two items are met, my Government will always support your dominance in your country under any circumstances, and you can seek our help at any time! ”

Compared with the United Kingdom, the two conditions put forward by Xiao Zhenlei are really good, it can be said that China does not take advantage of these countries, nor does it have any inequality, on the contrary, if these people and China enter into these two agreements, they will not only get the protection of China, but also better development. On the other hand, the two sides jointly set up an energy company, each accounting for half of the shares, which is very cost-effective for them, you must know that there is basically no science and technology in the Arabian Peninsula now, and if you want to take the test to extract the energy under the land, it will not be possible even if it is another hundred years, but if there is Chinese technology, it will be different.

Under Xiao Zhenlei's arrangement, Hua Guo signed several treaties with these people, the first of which was to form a strategic alliance and set up an organization called the "Communist Covenant" organization, and any country within this organization was invaded by a country outside the organization, and other organizations within the organization had the obligation to send troops to help. Subsequently, these people signed a permanent agreement with China to jointly establish an energy company, and signed a treaty to lease land to China for military garrison. (To be continued......)
