Chapter 184: The Roar of Bahrain Tawak

As for where to find Muslim soldiers, this is very easy to do, and there is no even need to go to the northwest to find a group of horses, at this time, those guys are all wild and untamable raw back, why don't you use them in the area of Shandong and Hebei, for example, those old departments of Zuo Zhuanggui, most of them were dismissed after the First Sino-Japanese War, and it was when there was no food and clothing, and it was not a problem to recruit a division from these familiar returns.

With the pitiful strength of millions of Arabs at this time and divided into a bunch of small countries, one division is enough to conquer the entire peninsula, and as for the generals, it is simple, find a group of cronies from his subordinates, let them convert to Islam, and then build a super-large mosque in Kuwait for them to be a place of worship, find a few imams or even imams and other guys from the country to preside, and have the opportunity to let Hamid II personally come to the mosque as a caliph to pray, so that it is basically perfect.

Military assistance to the emperor is simpler, just draw a brigade from the country and let the landing ship send it, anyway, Hamid II has to pay a commission, and by the way, let them scourge the European ladies, the Greek girl is very coveted, and let the strength of the Ottoman Empire be strengthened, maybe it can also create some trouble for the Russians, although the country is rotten to the home, but didn't it also make the British disgraced during the First World War?

And there should be something to grab on Crete, right? It is also an important birthplace of ancient Greek civilization, and Minoan is still Minocchio.

At this time, Prince Yang's mind suddenly moved, this small island seems to really have something worth starting, the Minoan palace has not been dug up yet, go back and find a few archaeologists to follow the army to act, when the time comes, first dig out this palace, and then smuggle the most valuable things back to China, and leave those rags to the Cretan people to build a museum or something to accept future generations to worship, so it seems that digging graves all over the world in the future is also a good business, Although the beauty avatar has been underwater for more than 3,000 tons of gold over the years. Mountains of jewelry, but who can have too many of them?

Tutankhamun's grave hasn't been dug up yet, but it's better not to take the risk, curse, true or not, it's not worth risking your life for that little thing, just dig up the treasure of that temple in India one day, but unfortunately the place is in the hands of the British. Prince Yang found that he seemed to have missed a big deal, and next time he went back, he would mark the locations of these treasures from all over the world, and dig it up when he grabbed the place in the future. It's called archaeology, and I don't know what kind of archaeology it is to put Egyptian artifacts in the British Museum.

With a great desire for archaeological work, Prince Yang left his territory and went to Basra to inspect the new office building of Imperial Oil here, and although he never asked about the specific operation of the company, he was still the joint largest shareholder.

At present, this oil company has become the hegemon of the world's oil industry, and the only comparable estimate is Rockefeller, which has discovered a second large oil field in Kirkuk in the Ottoman Empire in addition to the Persian Masjid Suleiman oil field. Now the oil has already started to be produced, and of course this is also the result of the technical support provided by Jan Pasha.

Now these two oil fields are coveted by Germany, France, Russia and Italy, and countless oil exploration teams have gone to the Ottoman Empire to drill wells all over the world, although so far nothing has been found. It made Hamid II a small fortune, otherwise he would not have had the money to order those two armored cruisers from Sweden.

After leaving Basra, the Nautilus went straight out of the Persian Gulf and into the Mediterranean Sea through the Suez Canal to Rome, purely to feel the grief and indignation that permeated the streets of Rome. The Italian government had humiliated Menelic II's request for peace talks, a clever who knew that if he continued to fight, he would force the Italians to fight with him. In this case, it is better to take the initiative to ask for peace talks on the premise of victory, and even then Italy has become a shame for Europe, and even ordinary people cannot raise their heads when they see Britain and Germany.

Just as Prince Yang was in Rome to meet with the Vatican Pope, and also paid a courtesy call on King Umberto I of Italy, Prime Minister Antonio I. During the time of the Marquis of Stabara, in a thatched hut in the Tawak Mountains of Bahrain outside Manila, Bonifa Xiu, dressed in the national costume of Tagalog, carried a crowbar in his hand and pried open a wooden box under his feet as if he were mad, showing the latest weapons that reflected industrial civilization in front of the surrounding Katipnan members.

"Look what this is? The latest Mauser rifles, even the Spaniards don't have them, the latest automatic pistols, grenades, the latest mortars, it's all ours, since we have the best weapons, we have the bravest fighters, then what are we waiting for? Raise the roar of our freedom, sound the trumpet of our independence, shoot the bullets of our vengeance, and let the invaders who have ravaged us for hundreds of years pay for their sins with their blood! He casually picked up a rifle captured by the Loyal Warriors from the Qing army and raised it above his head, and roared with a flush of excitement on his face.

The thousands of Katipunam members around him cheered and swarmed up like vicious dogs snatching bones, dividing up the weapons as quickly as possible, and then Bonifa Xiu took out his symbol of allegiance to the Spaniards, his poll tax certificate, tore to pieces in the spotlight and shouted loudly, "Long live Philippine independence!" ”

In a frenzied roar, the monkeys took out their tax payment certificates, tore them up and threw them away, trampling them in the dirt, as if they were trampling on the Spanish colonists, but at this time, they suddenly heard a gunshot in the distance, and everyone's faces changed at once, in fact, the reason why they are here today is because they were bought by traitors, and the entire organization of Catipunan in Manila was broken by the Spaniards, so they had to flee from the city in a hurry, and this gunfire is needless to say that the search and arrest team arrived.

Bonifaxiu looked at the revolutionaries in front of him, raised his rifle again and shouted: "The enemy is already coming, what should we do?" ”

"Fight, use bullets to teach them a lesson!" His good partner Jacinto roared cooperatively, and the monkeys' enthusiasm was mobilized at once, and in the midst of a chaotic shout, they rushed in the direction of the gunfire before they could even get used to the weapon.

Manuel. Lieutenant Rossi was walking agitated on the muddy ground with his gendarmerie team, a group of monkeys preparing to rebel, hiding in the mountains just a few kilometers from Manila, and his task was to get these guys out and hang them, which was his favorite job, especially after one of his friends had been killed by the monkeys the other day, and when he thought of Isabella's mutilated body, he had the urge to hang them all up and burn them to death.

He'd already killed one just now, and while that person wasn't necessarily a rebel, was there any need for a reason to kill a monkey as their ruler?

What he didn't know was that at this time the rifle in the hand of another monkey was aimed at his head, Masankay was a staunch revolutionary, but at this time his hand was still trembling, although he attributed this to the latest rifle in his own hands that he had never used, but he also had to admit in his heart that shooting at the white man who had ruled them for three hundred years gave him a natural sense of fear.

The distance between the Spaniards was approaching, and the policeman at the front walked into the stream between them, and Masancaj closed his eyes for a moment, and his father, who had been killed by the Spaniards because he could not pay his taxes, appeared in front of him, and when he opened his eyes again, his gaze was extremely determined, and then he did not hesitate to pull the trigger.

Lieutenant Rossi, who was walking, suddenly felt as if something had rubbed on his face, and then a burning pain reached his brain, and a sudden gunshot rang out in front of him, followed by countless chaotic gunshots.

"Damn, there's an ambush!" He subconsciously threw himself to the ground, his hand covering his cheek that was scratched by the bullet, he pulled out his pistol and roared angrily while firing at the front, his subordinate policemen scattered as fast as they could, shooting forward under the cover of trees, and at this moment suddenly a monkey jumped out of the trees in front of him, Rossi didn't even think about raising his hand to shoot, the moment the monkey fell, a black shadow flew out of his hand, and then smashed accurately in front of him, after seeing what it was, Lieutenant Rossi was so frightened that he almost fainted, a wooden-handled grenade.

Luckily, the fuse wasn't pulled, and the lid wasn't even unscrewed, and although Bonifa had taught his men before, it was impossible to expect those monkeys who participated in the battle for the first time not to make such mistakes!

Thanks to God's blessing, Lieutenant Rossi grabbed the grenade, unscrewed the wooden lid as fast as possible and pulled the fuse, and threw it at the position where the gunfire was most dense, and the grenade exploded at the same time as the two monkeys flew out screaming, but his watch also reminded the monkeys, and then one by one the smoking grenades smashed over, and one by one the exploding fires rose in the woods, and the policemen who were still calmly shooting at the monkeys immediately couldn't stand it. They are not afraid of shootouts, there are at least hundreds of rifles on the opposite side, but so far no one has been hit except for the unlucky lieutenant who has been hit by a bullet, but the grenade is different, as soon as it explodes within several meters of the surrounding area, it is either dead or wounded, how can the policemen who are not equipped with this thing dare to fight, and they start to retreat while shooting.

At this moment, the sound of gunfire and explosions alarmed the city of Manila, and a large number of Spanish troops were rapidly dispatching, including cavalry, to reinforce the Bahrain Tawak. (To be continued......)
