"Chinese? How did they end up here? Could it be that behind the Saudi family, there is the support of the Chinese? The French envoy Brigitte thought secretly, and the arrogant look on his face disappeared at once. Although he has also received some news that the Chinese frequently make moves in the Middle East, he does not take this seriously. The barrenness of the Middle East, the whole world knows. Perhaps the geographical location here is very important, but the benefits it can bring to various countries are not much, and there is no need for the Chinese to meddle in these barren places. If they want to rob the colonies, whether it is India or Dutch Indonesia, they are countless times more likely to attack than the Middle East!

"Who are you?" Brigitte asked steadily. He has proud money in front of the Arabs. But in front of the Chinese, they are not proud at all. Although France may still look down on China, France must admit that the current China is no longer something that France can face. In the last war, France suffered the least, losing only a few armored cruisers, light cruisers, and destroyers, and only 50 million pounds sterling in war reparations. Compared with other countries, France's loss is completely insignificant. But this is also a wake-up call for France, and it is better for France not to provoke China before it is absolutely sure, lest it trap itself. However, this time it seems that it is not France that intends to provoke China, but the Chinese themselves come to the door!

"Mr. Special Envoy. My name is Liu Yun and I'm from China. I regret to tell you that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been recognized by China, and I will temporarily serve as China's first ambassador to Saudi Arabia! Colonel Liu Yun said. Although he is a member of the military, he will temporarily act in this position until the real ambassador takes office. Fortunately, he has been in contact with the Saudi family for more than a year, and he also knows the situation in the Kingdom very well. At this stage, there may really be no one who is in this position more than him. Of course. Liu Yun is reluctant to retire, he is now a colonel, and he is only in his early thirties. When this mission is completed, after returning to China, I have to be promoted to another level. Step into the ranks of generals!

"The Chinese ambassador to Saudi Arabia? China and Saudi Arabia have established diplomatic relations? Mr. Liu Yun, doesn't China know that the Kingdom of Najd is a colony of France? By doing so, China has already threatened France's interests, and it is provoking France! The French envoy Brigitte roared angrily.

"Mr. Special Envoy, even though the Kingdom of Najd was formerly a French colony, I believe it. The vast majority of Arabs have the right to fight for freedom and independence. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, now established, is no longer a colony of France. And, I would like to convey it to Mr. Special Envoy. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is already a friendly country of China, and we have signed a treaty whereby China will obtain a leased land in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and will provide protection for the security of the Kingdom. Liu Yun said with a smile.

French envoy Brigitte. Seeing the smile on Liu Yun's face, he felt especially angry. If it were possible, he would have been eager to slap him in the face. The Chinese are so arrogant, they dare to support the Saudi family with such fanfare, which is to dismantle the French colonial system in the Middle East! This is definitely something that France does not want to see.

"Mr. Liu Yun, does China know what this is doing? China is challenging the world's colonial system, and this is playing with fire! French envoy Brigitte said through gritted teeth.

"Playing with fire? I don't think so. Mr. Special Envoy, I do think that a kingdom of Najd, or rather the Arabian Peninsula, is nothing to France, with its vast colonies. There is absolutely no need for France to be unable to get along with China for the sake of such a large desert! Liu Yun reminded kindly.

However, his reminder, in Brigitte's opinion, is more of a mockery. The Chinese have so arrogantly violated France's interests, which France cannot tolerate under any circumstances.

"Abdulrahman, is the House of Saud ready to withstand the wrath of France?" Knowing that she couldn't threaten Liu Yun, Brigitte could only turn the finger at Abdulrahman.

Saudi King Abdul Rahman was suddenly a little nervous, and he looked at Liu Yun. And Liu Yun just smiled and nodded, and suddenly, Abdul Rahman was relieved.

"Mr. Special Envoy, the Kingdom of Najd, and the entire Arabian Peninsula, have belonged to us Arabs since ancient times. We, the Arabs, have had enough of your enslavement, and the current Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is an independent country, no longer a colony of any country! Abdulrahman plucked up courage and said. He knew that the current Saudi kingdom and the Saudi family had no way out, and could only go all the way to the dark. Fortunately, the Chinese have spent a lot on the Saudi kingdom and the Saudi family, and as long as they don't want to waste these funds, they will not ignore the kingdom.

The French envoy Brigitte suddenly turned pale. He knew that his visit to Riyadh this time would not make any difference. At the same time, he must do his best to intervene the Chinese in the Middle East and report it to China. The shape of the Middle East is more complicated. Britain and France, for the constant struggle for this place. Now the Chinese have joined in, making the situation even more complicated.

The meeting between the three parties broke up unhappily, and after not getting the desired result, the French envoy Brigitte took his leave.

Abdelrahman was still a little worried, what he said just now had completely offended France. Once it can't resist the attack of the French team, then the Saudi family is finished.

Liu Yun seemed to see through the thoughts of Saudi King Abdul Rahman, so he comforted: "Your Majesty the King don't worry, our fleet will enter the Persian Gulf and arrive in the Al Ahsa region in two days." When the time comes, 30,000 rifles and some machine guns and artillery will be brought to the Kingdom, enough to arm the Kingdom's newly recruited troops. In addition, one of our subsequent divisions of marines will arrive in five days. When the time comes, the security of the Kingdom will be completely guaranteed. Although the French had tens of thousands of troops in the Arabian Peninsula, most of these garrisons were scattered, and it would take a lot of time for them to assemble. And this time is enough for us to be ready! ”

After Liu Yun's comfort, Saudi King Abdul Rahman's face looked much better. However, he also prayed to Allah in his heart, praying that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia would be able to survive this crisis.

After the French envoy Brigitte left the royal palace in Riyadh, he did not leave Riyadh, but stayed in a hotel. He had to figure out why the Chinese were in Riyadh and why they were helping the Saud family. What kind of deal is there between the Saudi family and the Chinese? He naturally does not believe that the Chinese will help the Saudi family for no reason, and if there are not enough interests, the Chinese are not fools. Only after he has understood these reasons can he provide the correct basis for the French government's decision-making.

France had colonized the Kingdom of Najd for many years, that is, the convenience of Yad was taken away by the Saud family, and the French envoy Brigitte still got what he wanted based on the connections he had left before. It's just that after collecting this information, Brigitte herself was stunned.

"Oh God! Are the Chinese crazy? How did they help the House of Saud? Brigitte exclaimed. The Chinese are concessioning the Hasa region on the coast of the Persian Gulf at a price of 100 million Chinese yuan a year, which is what Brigitte seems to be completely a fool to do! What's in the Al Ahsa region? It's just a desert, and although there are some oases, there are few of them, and even where to survive is a problem. However, the fact that the Chinese are willing to spend such a large price makes him completely unable to figure it out. In addition, China will station troops in the Al Ahsa region, which also attracted Brigitte's attention. Once China has stationed troops in the Kingdom, it means that China has made up its mind to intervene in the Middle East. France is faced with only two choices, that is, to withdraw from the Kingdom of Najd, or to fight with China and drive the Chinese out of the Middle East. But does France have that kind of strength? France's army has several hundred thousand men, and if necessary, it can even expand to a million. But is it worth investing so much power to compete with China for the sake of a barren Middle East? Besides, in the Indian Ocean, China and Britain are already fighting. France's weak navy means they don't have enough strength to challenge China in the Indian Ocean, and if they annoy China, they may lose even more. No one can guarantee that the Chinese will be interested in the large French colonies in Africa. At least, in Brigitte's opinion, the Chinese seem to be more greedy in the land than the Russians!

In the afternoon of the same day, Brigitte immediately sent the information he had collected back to China. China has intervened, and this is no longer a problem that he can solve, and it is up to the French government to make decisions on what to do. However, Brigitte knew that the French government would also find itself in a dilemma.

At four o'clock in the afternoon of June 26, French President Emile François Lube was preparing to leave work early, and tonight, it was his wife's birthday, and he was ready to celebrate his wife's birthday today. However, it was at this time that Foreign Minister Alexander Ribo came to his office and handed him a telegram from the Middle East.

After reading the telegram, President Lube exclaimed: "What do the Chinese want to do?" Are they crazy? ”
