"Your Majesty, there is news from the Middle East that Prince Jaber of Kuwait has signed a treaty with us. As long as we support him to become the Emir of Kuwait, we will be able to gain the right to extract oil in Kuwait for a price of one million Chinese dollars a year! General Wei Zhiyong, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, reported to Wang Yuze.

"One million Chinese dollars, it's really cheap!" Wang Yuze laughed. The reserves of the Great Burgan oil field in southern Kuwait are close to 10 billion tons. The price of one million Chinese dollars a year is no different from picking it up for nothing!

"Your Majesty, does Kuwait also have oil?" Chief of the General Staff Xiong Wu asked. If not, then this million will not be wasted!

"We found oil in the Al Ahsa area, and the geography of Kuwait is almost the same as that of the Al Ahsa region. If the entire Persian Gulf is compared to a pot, Kuwait is the bottom of the pot. Therefore, I believe that Kuwait must have a huge amount of oil! Wang Yuze said with great certainty. You must know that Kuwait in the future will be very rich. And all of this is brought by oil.

"If that's the case, it couldn't be better!" Xiong Wu nodded. He did not doubt Wang Yuze's judgment, even if Wang Yuze did not give any factual basis. But over the years, Wang Yuze's actions have undoubtedly proved his foresight, which has made the important ministers of the empire have become numb from the initial surprise.

"Kuwait's actions should begin as soon as possible, so that there will be no long nights and many dreams." Wang Yuze instructed. Now is the time to take this opportunity to expand China's influence in the Middle East. If we can snatch as much benefit as possible from the British, we must not be soft.

"Yes, Your Majesty! The British had only one regiment in Kuwait, less than two thousand people. The 9th Marine Division will dispatch a regiment of troops to disarm the British and then help Prince Jaber ascend to the throne! Xiong Wu said. The strength of both the Kingdom of Kuwait and the British army in Kuwait is too weak, and in the face of absolute superior strength, they have no strength to resist at all.

"Then go according to the plan! Other than that. What happened to the infiltration of the Kingdom of Persia? Wang Yuze asked. Persia, that is, Iran, is also an extremely important country in the Middle East. In the case that China has already occupied Central Asia, if it wants to go south to the Persian Gulf. First of all, we had to get over the Persian barrier.

The geographical location of Persia was extremely important, and it was fiercely contested by Britain and Russia. However, the final result was that Britain gained southern Persia and Russia gained northern Persia. The central part of Persia continued to be controlled by Persia. The current ruler of Persia is the Qajar dynasty, and the current king is Muzaffar al-Din Shah. A mediocre and incompetent monarch. After the defeat of Russia by China, the Persians took the opportunity to go north to reclaim the lands occupied by Russia. And, in the face of the Chinese threat, King Muzaffar al-Din Shah chose to befriend the British. With the help of Britain to fend off China. This ensured the independence of Persia, but again, Persian power was gradually controlled by the British. The British army was in Persia and stationed more than 20,000 troops. Even Tehran, the capital of Persia. There was also a regiment of British troops stationed. And the Persian kingdom's own army was only 50,000 men. Arguably. The entire kingdom of Persia had become almost a colony of the British.

"His Majesty, Muzaffardinshah's rule in Persia was unpopular. However, almost all the resistance forces in Persia were swept away by him, and our infiltration in Persia did not achieve the desired effect. Unless there was a direct invasion of Persia by force, it would be difficult to overthrow the Qajar dynasty in Persia.

"By force?" Wang Yuze frowned. In the Middle East, Wang Yuze is very reluctant to use force against those people. It's not that I'm afraid of them, but I just don't want to mess with a bunch of crazy people. He didn't want China to face bombings, assassinations, and the like every day. If possible, it would be better to find an agent to subvert the current regime and then establish a pro-Chinese regime to safeguard China's interests there.

"Your Majesty, the Fifth Army is ready for battle, as long as the strength of two divisions moves south, it will be able to deal with the Persians and the British troops stationed there!" War Minister Cai Yun replied. Although the main enemy of the Fifth Army's defense is the Russians, there is no problem at all in sending two divisions south to strengthen China's strength in the Persian Gulf region. The Russians are now recuperating, and with a few of their courage, they will not dare to provoke China at this time.

"For the time being, we will not consider the direct use of force. Director Wei, find a way to find a suitable agent in the Persian royal family! I don't believe that the Persian royal family is monolithic, Muzaffar al-Din Shah's brothers, sons, etc., as long as they are willing to cooperate with us, we can help them! Wang Yuze said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Military Intelligence Agency will continue to work hard!" Admiral Wei Zhiyong hurriedly said.

The Persian Gulf, one of the busiest bays in the world in later generations. At the beginning of the twentieth century, it was very deserted. With the exception of a very small number of merchant ships, only the fishing boats of the Arabs operate here. However, after the squadron entered here three months ago, everything changed. The entire Persian Gulf has been blockaded by the Chinese Navy. Warships of any other country have been expelled here. In particular, the warships and merchant ships of Britain and France disappeared without a trace in the Persian Gulf.

On the night of October 2, a fleet of a huge heavy cruiser and four destroyers was sailing in the Persian Gulf. Behind these warships were twenty transports of various sizes. These transport ships were loaded with more than 4,000 soldiers from the 1st Regiment of the 9th Division of the Chinese Marine Corps. The fleet departed from Dammam and headed north along the Persian Gulf to Kuwait City. Because of the blockade of the Persian Gulf by the Chinese Navy these days, there are almost no other ships in the entire Persian Gulf except for a few fishing boats. When the fleet is in action, there is no need to worry about leaking secrets. Their mission was to disarm the British army in Kuwait and help Prince Jaber ascend to the throne of Kuwait.

On the heavy cruiser 'Guangzhou', Major General Jing Yuanhang, commander of the 9th Marine Division, and Brigadier General Liu Yun of the Army were studying a map of Kuwait City. On the map, the defensive posture of the British army in Kuwait City has been marked.

"Commander Jing, according to accurate information, the British army's unit in Kuwait is the 3rd Regiment of the 25th Division of the British Army, the main force of the division, which is stationed in Persia, and this regiment fell into Kuwait only last month. The regiment commander was named Thomas, a colonel in the British Army, with more than 1,800 men in the regiment, with 12 cannons and 6 heavy machine guns. Half of them were stationed in the barracks east of Kuwait City! Brigadier General Liu Yun analyzed. Before the start of the operation, the Military Intelligence Agency had information on the whole of Kuwait City.

"Then, when the time comes, we will attack the British battalion directly. The naval guns will strike a destructive blow to the British battalion, after which the 1st Regiment will land and deal with the remaining British troops! Major General Jing Yuanhang, commander of the 9th Marine Division, said. This battle, in his opinion, is effortless!

"Hmmm! No problem at all. When the time comes, our men will provide guidance for the naval guns. Brigadier General Liu Yun said. In three hours, the fleet would arrive in Kuwait City, and it would be 3 a.m. The British army was asleep, and Gen didn't have time to react.

At the same time, in Kuwait City, under the cover of night, some people were sneaking along the streets towards the Kuwait Royal Palace. The royal palace in Kuwait is nothing more than a small palace covering an area of about ten acres, and the Kuwaiti royal family lives here. The palace has a guard of more than 20 people, which is already the only force in the hands of the Kuwaiti royal family other than the Kuwaiti police.

At two o'clock in the morning, the closed gate of the palace was opened, and the figure of Prince Jaber appeared outside the gate. Soon, a group of Arabs dressed in white robes mixed in, and during this time, the palace guards did not give any warning.

A few minutes later, there was an uproar in the Kuwaiti palace, but in less than ten minutes, it subsided.

In the main hall of the royal palace, Kuwaiti Emir Mubarak Sabah was staring angrily at his son Jaber, his eyes full of anger and sorrow.

"Jaber, why is that? Why would you do this? Do this to your father? The Emir of Mubarak Sabah asked angrily.

"Father, I can't just watch you bring Kuwait to destruction!" Prince Jaber said.

"Excuses, it's all excuses." The emir of Mubarak Sabah roared.

"Father, now that the Middle East belongs to the Chinese, and you still want to rely on the British, this will bring disaster to Kuwait!" If Kuwait wants to continue to save zài, it can only turn to the Chinese. Therefore, father, you are no longer fit to lead Kuwait, and it's time to pass the throne to me! Prince Jaber said.

"You want to usurp the throne? Allah will not forgive you! The British troops stationed in Kuwait will not let you go! The emir of Mubarak Sabah roared.

"British? They're all out of their own hands! Prince Jaber said with a smile.

As if to confirm his words, a loud explosion suddenly came. Suddenly, the faces of the other royal family members in the Kuwait royal palace suddenly changed greatly!
