Riyadh at night, the temperature is relatively low. Compared to the hot day, it is completely two extremes. However, now Riyadh has become a sea of joy.
It has been ten years since the Saud family was defeated by the Rashid family, but when they defeated the Rashid family and recaptured Riyadh, these Arabs have not forgotten them, they still remember the Saud family. Compared to the brutal Rashids, the Sauds were much friendlier to the Arabs. These Arabs are more willing to accept the rule of the House of Saud.
Abdul? Rahman and Abdul? Aziz father and son are also full of joy. Ten years have passed, and they have been away from Riyadh for ten years, and now, with the blessing and guidance of Allah, they have succeeded in retaking Riyadh, which makes them very happy.
In order to celebrate the victory, countless Arabs sang and danced, and Arab maidens wrapped in white scarves entertained the Arab warriors with portions of roast mutton, and everyone was enjoying the joy of victory.
Inside the royal palace in Riyadh, Abdul? Rahman and Abdul? Aziz and his son are using the traditional Arab way to entertain the generals of the army and the local powerful people in Riyadh. It has been 10 years since they left Riyadh, and if they want to have a stable Riyadh, they must have the support of these people in the meantime. Colonel Liu Yun on the Chinese side was also invited to attend the dinner. Originally, many Arabs didn't know why the Saudi family was able to defeat the Rashid family so easily, and the powerful army of the Saudi family completely stunned them. However, after seeing Colonel Liu Yun, everyone understood all at once.
It turned out that behind the Saud family. There are Chinese supporting! In this case, that qiē is all reasonable. Although these Arabs don't know much about the outside world, the strength of China has spread all over the world, and even the Arabs living in the desert know the strength of the Chinese power. Some Arab magnates who were still afraid of the resurgence of the Rashid family, so they were very uneasy, also relieved. Is there a Chinese-backed Saudi family. No weaker than the French-backed Rashid family, if not more powerful.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it has been ten years since the Saud family left Riyadh! unit, the Saud family has never given up on hard work. Under the protection and guidance of Allah. With the support of our eastern allies, the House of Saud, with their own army, recaptured Riyadh. Now, I declare that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will be established from now on! We will rewrite the glory of the Arabs! "Abdul? Rahman said with a red face.
"Long live Saudi, long live His Majesty the King!" Arabs in the royal palace ballroom. Everyone cheered loudly. In the past ten years, the cruel rule of the Rashid family over them has made them suffer a lot of grievances, and now. The good days seem to have finally come.
After that, a large number of delicacies were delivered, and everyone began to enjoy the food with smiles on their faces, thanking Allah for His blessings. The Chinese side attended the banquet. In addition to Colonel Liu Yun, there was also his deputy, Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Lei. In the midst of the assault on Riyadh. Chinese officers and soldiers did not personally participate in the war, but they did participate in the command of the troops. In general, the army of the Saud family is still relatively weak in combat effectiveness.
"Thank you very much, two governors, without your help, the Saud family would not have returned to Riyadh one day!" Abdul? Aziz, the successor of the Saudi royal palace, has become the commander in chief of the Saud family's army.
"Your Excellency Aziz, no, you should be addressed to His Royal Highness the Prince now. Congratulations on your success! Colonel Liu Yun said with a smile.
"Chief Liu, on behalf of my father, I assure you that China will always be a friend of the Saudi family and the Saudi royal palace! China's kindness to the Saudi royal palace, we will never forget! "Abdul? Aziz said happily.
"Your Royal Highness, I would like to remind you that although, we defeated the Rashid family in Riyadh. However, let's not forget that the Rashid family still has almost 30,000 troops in Hail. The French are in the Arabian Peninsula, and there are 10,000 colonial troops! If they are hostile to the Kingdom, the Kingdom will have to prepare for it! Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Lei reminded.
Sure enough, Abdul? The smile on Aziz's face disappeared in an instant. He was not afraid of the army of the Rashid family. However, for the French ** team, he was a little stunned. Although he believes in the combat power of the army of the Saudi family, he still has no bottom in his heart in the face of an old colonial power like France.
"Chief Liu, Chief Zhang, the new Saudi royal palace needs China's help. We will definitely fulfill the contract, and I ask China to help the Saudi royal palace through this difficulty! "Abdul? Aziz said quickly.
"Your Royal Highness, let's talk more about it after the dinner!" Liu Yun said. Although, the cuisine of the Arabs, there is nothing particularly appealing. But after a year in the desert, these roast lambs are delicious, and he doesn't want his appetite to be affected.
"Yes, Chief Liu, I know, after the dinner is over, I'll go to you again!" Abdul? Aziz left after saying that, and he came to Abdul, who had just become the self-proclaimed king. Rahman's ear whispered a few words. After that, Abdul? King Rahman's face also changed slightly.
The banquet at the palace ended before nine o'clock in the evening. After that, Colonel Liu Yun and Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Lei were invited to a secluded room. Abdul father and son, who have not yet appeared, should still be discussing countermeasures.
"Father, what should we do now? The army of the Rashid family, although there are still more than 30,000 people, is no longer a cause for concern. If the French force their way in, what should we do? "Abdul? Aziz asked. The kingdom of Najd is a colony of the French, and the French do not support the House of Saud.
"Aziz, calm down, what can the French do? Although France is strong, the Chinese are stronger than him! We now have the support of China, and we don't need to be afraid of France! "Abdul? Rahman said. Now, there is only one way left for the Kingdom to go, and that is to rely on China and confront France.
"But, father, will we lure the wolf into the house if we do this?" Abdul? Aziz was still a little worried. After all, China is stronger than France, and if China has ill intentions towards the Kingdom, then the Kingdom has no chance to resist at all!
"Aziz, we have no way out now, everything we have is supported by the Chinese, and we have no other way than to rely on the Chinese. However, I believe that the Chinese will not be as ruthless as the French. Otherwise, they would not have signed a covenant with us. I believe in the Chinese, and believe that this is the guidance that Allah gives us! "Abdul? Rahman said. He knows that there will be no free lunch in the world, and what the Chinese want may be those deserts along the Persian Gulf coast!
"Yes, Father, I see!" Abdul? Aziz nodded.
Subsequently, Abdul father and son walked quickly to the room where Colonel Liu Yun and Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Lei were.
"Chief Liu, Chief Zhang, once again, I would like to thank China for its help to the Saudi family and the Kingdom. However, the crisis we are facing now still exists, so what should we do now? "Abdul? Rahman took the initiative to ask.
"Your Majesty, although we have won the army of the Rashid family in Riyadh, the Rashid family still has the strength to fight. Next, the army of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia must attack Hayl as much as possible and completely eliminate the Rashid family. In this way, it can play the role of stabilizing the kingdom! Colonel Liu Yun reminded.
"Okay, Colonel Liu Yun, tomorrow, we will send troops to attack Hail. With the combat effectiveness of our army, it should not be a problem to defeat the Rashid family! "Abdul? King Rahman said.
"Of course. However, the number of Saudi Arabia's troops is still too small, and it will have to continue to expand. There are many Arabs near Riyadh, and their support for the House of Saud is very strong, and the Kingdom can recruit troops from among them, expanding the number of troops to about 50,000! Colonel Liu Yun said.
"Sir Liu, is 50,000 people too much?" Abdul? Aziz hesitated. The army trained by the lieutenant officer for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is indeed powerful, but the cost is too great. In order to train the 20,000 troops, they squandered almost all the loans from the Chinese side.
"Your Royal Highness, fifty thousand people is not many. Don't forget, after defeating the Rashids, the kingdom will march on the Hejaz kingdom and unify the entire Arabian Peninsula! As for the funding of weapons, they can be purchased from our country! Colonel Liu Yun said.
Sure enough, as soon as they heard about the elimination of the Hejaz Kingdom and the unification of the entire Arabian Peninsula, Abdul and his son's hearts were on fire.
"Sir Liu, with the help of China, we, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, are confident that we will defeat the Rashid family and the Hejaz Kingdom. But now we are under threat from France. The army of the French, already massing, will definitely attack Riyadh in a short time! "Abdul? Rahman said.
"Rest assured, even if the French attack Riyadh, the Saudi royal palace will be able to resist some of the troops. In addition, if you want to completely solve the threat of the French, there is only one way for the Saudi royal palace, and that is to ask the empire to station troops in the kingdom! We can send a Marine Division to Saudi Arabia to protect the interests of the empire and the Kingdom! Colonel Liu Yun said!
