The Middle East is a Eurocentric term that refers to the region east of Europe and between the Far East and the Near East. Specifically, it refers to the eastern and southern regions of the Mediterranean, from the eastern Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf. Geographically, the Middle East covers almost the entire West Asia region, and includes part of North Africa, as well as a subregion of Africa and Eurasia. The most important regions in the Middle East are the Arabian Peninsula and the Persian Gulf coast. Since ancient times, it has been a major transportation route and a battleground for soldiers. After the discovery of oil, it became the center of the world's energy resources.

More than a thousand young, the ancestors of the Arabs, built a powerful Arab empire on the Arabian Peninsula, a powerful empire that spanned the three major states of Asia, Europe and Africa. But later, the caliphate fell to power, and the Arab Empire was destroyed during the Mongol expedition. Later, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, founded by the Ottomans, became the king of the land.

After entering the modern era, the Western colonial powers began to expand aggressively. The Arabian Peninsula and the coastal areas of the Persian Gulf also became the focus of competition among the colonial powers. The aging Ottoman Empire, on the other hand, could only shrink to the peninsula of Asia Minor to the north. This Arabian Peninsula region became the focus of contention between Britain and France. The largest country on the Arabian Peninsula, the Kingdom of Najd, was a French colony.

The ancestor of the House of Saud, who once ruled the Kingdom of Najd. However, in the great war between the House of Saud and the Rashid family eleven years ago, the House of Saud was defeated, and the entire inner palace was on the verge of collapse, and the House of Rashid officially ruled the Kingdom of Najd. But. The people of the Saudi family have never given up resistance, and Abdul Rahman and Abdulaziz father and son are important leaders. They actively established their power in the deserts of the Kingdom of Najd, as well as in Kuwait, in an attempt to defeat the Rashid family and regain the leadership of the Kingdom of Najd. It's just that the Rashid family has the support of the French colonizers. It was very difficult for the Saud family to regain the kingdom of Najd.

Fortunately, perhaps Allah forbid, last year, the Saud family did not know what luck had gone. It was actually valued by the powerful empire that was rising in the East. For a time, the Saud family received strong support from China, and a large amount of money and weapons flowed into the hands of Abdul and his son through various secret channels, and they could use the money and weapons to build a stronger army. to regain the leadership of the kingdom of Najd. And all that was paid was the right to use the desert near the Persian Gulf. Although, some wonders why China would offer such good terms to the Saudi family. But the Saud family also knew that this was their only chance. Therefore, they attribute this qiē to the blessing of Allah!

The Middle East in June. The climate is hot, windy and sandy. In addition to living here all year round. With the exception of the Arabs, who were accustomed to this climate, the rest of the people were almost reluctant to leave the house. Arabs dressed in white gauze and wrapped in white turbans are accustomed to this climate.

In the desert of the Kingdom of Najd, near Kuwait, there is a small oasis. There is a huge spring that flows out every day and irrigates the nearby land, creating an oasis in a radius of several kilometers. This is one of the secret bases established by the Saud family in the desert. Here, the Saud family formed an elite army of three thousand people.

In a tent in the heart of the oasis, father and son Abdul Rahman and Abdulaziz are praying, praying to Allah to bless the Saud family and to restore their country. After a while, the father and son finished the service, and the pious look on their faces slowly dissipated.

"Aziz, what do the Chinese say?" Abdulrahman asked. After a year of development, the Saud family has recovered. Abdul Rahman believes that it is time to launch an attack on the Rashid family and reclaim the kingdom of Najd. It's just that they can have where they are today is completely with the help of the Chinese, so they must ask China's consent to do so.

"Father, Colonel Liu Yun said yesterday that he would give us an answer in the next two days. Last month, the Chinese emperor married the seventh princess of the German kingdom of Bavaria, and the Chinese are busy with that! Abdulaziz said.

"The Chinese emperor married the German Bavarian princess, if we didn't have the conditions, we should also participate! The Chinese have given us so much support, they are the benefactors of our Saudi family! Abdul Rahman said.

"Yes, father. Although I know that the Chinese will not help us unconditionally, their request is indeed very surprising! Abdulaziz still hasn't figured out why China is willing to spend 100 million yuan a year on such generous terms, which is just a desert in the concession. Could it be that there is gold buried under that desert? However, even if the gold was really buried, Abdulaziz was satisfied. The annual rent of 100 million yuan is enough for the Saudi family to live well, and it can even develop the Kingdom of Najd better.

"Aziz, you remember. We have signed a treaty with the Chinese side, and that land has been leased to the Chinese. No matter how precious the things buried beneath are, they don't belong to us anymore. We have gotten what we want from the Chinese. If you are insatiable, Allah will bring disaster! Abdul Rahman reminded. If the Saud family can succeed in restoring the country, it will depend entirely on China's help. And with China's strength, if the Saudi family dares to repent, it will be effortless to destroy the Saudi family!

"Yes, father, I remember!" Abdulaziz nodded. Since he was a child, he has been in exile with his father, and he has suffered a lot during this period. He knew that if he wanted to protect his wealth, he had to have great strength. Otherwise, you'll only drive yourself to a dead end. However, he is still very interested in what is buried under the desert along the coast of the Persian Gulf.

At this time, the door of the tent was opened, and a young man from the east in a light-colored short-sleeved military uniform to the west walked into the tent. He is Liu Yun, a colonel of the Chinese Army, who came to the Arabian Peninsula last year with hundreds of elite officers and soldiers to train the army for the Saudi family.

"Welcome, Sir Liu!" Abdul father and son hurriedly stood up.

"Haha, you don't have to be polite, I have good news for you, there are instructions from the country, and you can act. Our Indian Ocean Fleet has sent warships into the Arabian Sea, and we can support you if necessary! Colonel Liu Yun said. There is no doubt that coming to the Arabian Peninsula is a chore. However, he knew that if he succeeded, when he returned home, he would be able to rise to the next rank and become a brigadier general in the army.

"Great, Sir Liu, we can't wait. I immediately gave the order to launch an attack on the Rashid family! Abdulaziz said excitedly. Now only twenty-five years old, he has a rather eager personality, and after observing the army trained by the lieutenant for the Saudi family, he has great confidence in them, and has a great confidence that he will be able to defeat the Rashid family.

Colonel Liu Yun nodded, and then said, "You can do it at any time." However, I still build yì, and prepare for it in the next few days. After all, the Rashid family also has a large regular army, 50,000 men, more than twice as many as ours. It's just that their equipment is rubbish! ”

"Chief Liu is thoughtful, then, our attack will be placed in three days. Three days later, we went on the offensive like Riyadh! Abdul Rahman said.

Three days later, on June 14, the leaders of the House of Saud, father and son Abdul Rahman and Abdulaziz, led an army of 20,000 loyal to the House of Saud to attack Riyadh from Kuwait and the deserts of the Kingdom of Najd. After a long week's march, they arrived in Riyadh. At this time, the Rashid family, who ruled the kingdom of Najd, was ready. They are in Riyadh and have amassed more than 20,000 troops. Around Riyadh, a big war unfolded.

The Rashid family, formerly the royal family of the Emirate of Hayil, with the support of France, defeated the House of Saud and ruled the kingdom of Najd. During this period, they launched a brutal hunt and persecution of the Saud family. However, it has not been possible to eliminate the House of Saud. Later, as time passed, the Rashid family gradually consolidated its rule, and the Saud family was no longer taken seriously. With 50,000 regular troops, the Rashid family has become the most powerful military force in the entire Arabian Peninsula outside of the British and French colonists.

However, the Rashid family has miscalculated this time. After receiving China's help, the combat power of the army of the Saud family is not comparable to that of the Rashid family. Artillery, heavy machine guns, and advanced rifles were a massacre against the Rashid army, which consisted of a handful of rifles and sabers. In just two days, the Saud army's army stormed Riyadh and recaptured the capital of the Kingdom of Najd. The Rashid family lost more than half of its losses, and only a few fled Riyadh. As for the appearance of the Saudi army, the lieutenants naturally look down on it. But fortunately, it was barely enough to deal with the army of the Rashid family, and even the colonial armies of Britain and France.

After the Saudi family entered Riyadh, it was immediately announced that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia would be established, and Abdul Rahman officially became the first king of the Saudi royal palace.
