When Yan Shao's cruise ship sailed into the wharf in Kuwait, there was a burst of cheers from the wharf―――――― all of which were officers and soldiers of the army stationed here and government officials.

As for the ordinary Kuwaiti people, they were silent one by one, just looking at the cruise ships anchored in the port with a slightly hostile and at the same time shocking eyes......... The fleets that escort these cruise ships...

Although Ottoman Turkey was also a powerful country back then, it is a pity that Kuwait was already snatched from the Turks by the British, and then things were even simpler...

Independent Kuwait, although not a British colony, is basically indistinguishable. On weekdays, Kuwait will also station some troops and even fleets belonging to the United Kingdom, the problem is that Kuwait or the Middle East is not an important place for the UK, so at most some very ordinary warships are berthed here, and the highest level is probably the cruiser level, and now the battleships alone have sailed in as many as three, plus a series of other ships, just looking at the number on paper, I am afraid that the fleet that is currently moored in the port, It may even be even more powerful than the fleet that the Ottoman Turks originally had...

And this undoubtedly brought a great shock to the Kuwaitis, who have never seen much of the world.

Obviously, they did not expect that the Far Eastern country, which seemed to be very strange, would have such a great power. Having said that, they had no intention of giving in. Although his eyes were shocked, his eyes were still full of hatred when he looked at the ships in the harbor.

But they didn't even think of resisting. Or to embarrass Yan Shao, who is about to get off the ship.

The reason is also very simple, because they no longer dare to resist...

As in the Outer Northeast, Siberia, and Central Asia, the Communist's approach to the rebels was simple. Either be shot or taken as a 'slave' to help the national government repair the earth.

As for those who assisted the rebels, it was even simpler, and they were sent directly to the Outer Northeast or Sakhalin Island, which was almost equivalent to exile in disguise. Moreover, the government of the state and society also emphasizes the connection. If only one person is suspected of helping the rebels, the whole village will suffer.

Although Yan Shao did not kill those villagers or locals, this method was even more ......... Insidious?

At least. After many similar incidents, no one dared to rebel anymore, after all, if there was a rebellion, many people would be implicated. Even if some people are not afraid. The village or their relatives will also stop it...

So. Despite their disgust with the SNZ, when the SNZ ordered the Kuwaitis to come out for a 'grand' welcoming ceremony, they did not dare to disobey ―――――― if the present strange scene could be called grand...

Of course, not all the Kuwaitis below are not satisfied, at least for the series of tax exemptions announced by the national government, the Kuwaitis as well as the Iraqis and Arabs are very satisfied. After all, in the past Ottoman Turkey, the Turks collected a lot of taxes...

And now. At least they can breathe a sigh of relief...

――――――――――――――――――――

On the other hand, looking at the scene of the port chief, Yan Shao frowned slightly. "So many people gathered together......... Epidemic prevention work is no problem, right? ”

"Rest assured, President." Standing on Yan Shao's side, deliberately a body behind, Yang Shande said softly. "We've made all the preparations, the whole port has been spilled with disinfectant, and all the people who participated are wearing masks and other things, so basically there will be no problems..."

Hearing Yang Shande say this, Yan Shao nodded after sniffing the exclusive smell of disinfectant that permeated the port. "That's good, it's a special time, it's better to be cautious..."

"Of course..."Yang Shande hurriedly said on the side, not mentioning how important Yan Shao's life is for the time being, you must know that he Yang Shande is also here, if something really happens, he can't run away, so of course he will be very cautious...

In fact, it is not just the general epidemic prevention measures, in order to avoid rebels running out, Yang Shande even made a lot of elaborate arrangements to ensure that there will be no problems.

As for Yang Shande's ability, Yan Shao is still relatively relieved, so after listening to Yang Shande's arrangement, Yan Shao also nodded slightly to express satisfaction.

After about a while, Yan Shao and Elaine got off the ship, and then in the 'cheers' of the port crowd, they took a bulletproof car to Yang Shande and their headquarters―――――― in such a special period, Yang Shande and their group of soldiers have significantly more rights than ordinary government officials.

In fact, during this period, the system and tradition of civilian command of the army had basically been established in China. In the past, the warlords fought each other or supported their own troops―――――― unless something earth-shattering happened...

Overseas, however, this tradition is somewhat weak.

There is no way, although the Turks have surrendered, and the former Ottoman Turkish Empire is now falling apart. However, this does not mean that the Communist government has completely controlled these two provinces in the Middle East, and the rebels are still rising one after another, so in order to ensure the rule of the Communist government, Iraq and another province can only temporarily implement military control and other measures at present...

As for the government, it will not really play its role until the situation is almost stable.

――――――――――――――――――――

After coming to the headquarters of the National Defense Forces in Kuwait, Yan Shao and the others first went to the residence arranged by Yang Shande to rest. By the next day, the fatigue along the way had almost disappeared. Yan Shaocai got up from the bed, sorted out some of the things on his body, and then joined Gu Weijun and them. Meet some of the local celebrities in Kuwait...

Although both Yan Shao and Yang Shande are a little unfamiliar with these celebrities, the actual situation is that if the national government wants to rule the Middle East, it must have the cooperation of these people...

So even if you don't catch a cold in your heart, it's useless, you still have to meet when you should meet.

At the reception held by Yang Shande, Yan Shao had a cordial and good conversation with these people, and accurately expounded the ideas of many national and social governments in the Middle East. At the same time, it is also guaranteed that the interests of these people will definitely be protected+―――――― provided that they are obedient enough and don't make any small moves behind their backs, otherwise Yan Shao will definitely turn his face and deny people...

And those social orders obviously understood Yan Shao's potential lines. ――――――After all, Iraq, Kuwait and the coast of the eastern Persian Gulf have been occupied by the Wehrmacht, and there are more than 100,000 Wehrmacht troops stationed on such a land. The strength of such a large force. Even stronger than the original Turkish army.

Add to that a host of other factors, and what other options do they have than to be honest?

Of course, Yan Shao himself knows this, which is also a reason why Yan Shao will be relieved.

But...

Another thing that made Yan Shao frown a little, that is, the issue of religion...

As we all know, the Middle East is a very troublesome general in order to avoid harmony. We will not name this religion for a moment.

All in all, this religion is very troublesome. The radical wing of the sect, in particular, even has a habit of forcing others to follow their religion. On weekdays, I also like to go to some people's homes, if they drink or eat pork or something, hehe...

Then they're in trouble...

However, for many reasons, the government cannot control them at all, which also cultivates their unscrupulous mentality.

Later, this religion became a cancer in China and even in the world―――――― of course, this refers to the radicals...

By the way, in later generations, it seems that the region of Europe is already on the verge of being taken over by this religion, if nothing else...

For Yan Shao, if the underground oil in the Middle East makes Yan Shao feel longing, then this religious issue makes Yan Shao feel a headache. After all, this is a very troublesome religion, basically there is no need to think about cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, but at the moment, for the sake of the underground oil in the Middle East, Yan Shao has to take the initiative to admit some believers who believe in this religion to come in, which really makes Yan Shao very unhappy...

It's only temporary, what to do, Yan Shao doesn't have a clue.

If possible, Yan Shao really wants to drive everyone out of Iraq's two provinces, and then fill the void with internal immigrants. It's just that at the moment, China is already the target of public criticism, and the most important thing now is to keep a low profile, make a fortune in a muffled voice, and take advantage of the fact that the whole world has shifted its attention to the Paris Peace Conference and Soviet Russia in Eastern Europe, so let's consolidate the benefits I got this time, this is what Yan Shao needs to do, as for driving away something...

You must know that the population of Iraq, Kuwait and the eastern Persian Gulf are all combined, but there are tens of millions of people.

Tens of millions of people are driven at once, not to mention how many troops are needed for the time being, and whether it is realistic is a question of whether it is realistic ...

As for simply exterminating the local religion, hehe, it is even more troublesome, if because of exile and other means, those local residents dare not speak out against the national government. So if it touches on the issue of religion, Yan Shao dares to guarantee that all of these guys will definitely come up desperately, like moths to a fire, to find the national government to play for their lives.

Not only them, but others in the Middle East believe that the same...

At that point, it will turn into a religious war, not an ordinary rebellion.

Although a rabble of rabble could not be an opponent of the Wehrmacht, if the war eventually evolved into guerrilla warfare, then...

said that they had the ability to drag down the national government, but Yan Shao believed it very much.

Considering that the Middle East is one of the most important oil-producing areas in the world, Yan Shao should ensure that there is stability here, not some kind of fierce confrontation...

Trouble, trouble...

――――――――――――――――――――

Yan Shao and the others did not stay in Kuwait for too long, but only met with the celebrities of Kuwait and the Eastern Persian Gulf in Kuwait, and then took the train to Baghdad―――――― the capital city of Iraq Province, which is also the headquarters of the Baghdad Military Region Command.

In Baghdad, Yan Shao saw a very grand welcoming ceremony, and the welcoming crowd was obviously much larger than anywhere else in Kuwait, and the people were obviously more enthusiastic.

Unlike Kuwait, Kuwait has split from Turkey, and it turns out that the British father is still standing behind him, and he doesn't need to worry about anyone at all, and he has some sense of superiority over others, but now he has suddenly been avoided by the Chinese government, and it is not a colony, but has directly become a part of China, and even a part of Iraq, which is naturally a little difficult for Kuwaitis to accept.

But on the Iraqi side...

You know, Iraq has always been under Turkey's control...

If Turkey is relatively good, it is nothing, but the internal corruption of the Turkish government is extremely cruel to the people. The Armenian Genocide is one of the most striking proofs...

During the First World War, the Turks slaughtered at least millions of Armenians, and their methods were so brutal that they could even be compared to the Japanese―――――― of course, the reason for this is also because Armenians usually believe in God, while Turks believe in Anda, although from a certain point of view, the two should be similar, but in fact, the believers of the two are a group of guys who want to kill each other when they see each other...

In this case, the Armenians who believe in God live inside Turkey, where the god of Anta believes, can be imagined...

The natives of Iraq, although they share the same faith as the Turks, are still more oppressed, and even have a great hatred for the Turkish government.

As much as they wanted Iraq to become an independent country, it was always a great joy for them to be able to break away from Turkish rule, and most importantly, the series of good governance proclaimed by the Communist government after it had made Iraq an administrative region...

This is good governance that Iraqis have not seen in the past few hundred years... (To be continued......)
