ps: I'm too lazy to split it into two chapters, and the 6500-word big chapter was sent together. Today is the last day of the month, and the tickets will not be left if you keep them, so give it to me, I want to ......

..............................................................................

The Ottoman Empire began to rule the Arab region in the 16th century. In the 19th century, Britain and other European powers invaded, and Ottoman rule began to decline significantly. By the middle of the 19th century, the Ottoman Empire could no longer rule these places directly, and began to appoint local Arab nobles as governors, pashas, and emirs, and to govern themselves. By the beginning of the 20th century, these forces had become a semi-powerful force.

And although the British occupy a lot of places here, they do not care about the rule of this place. Because at that time there was only sand and dates here, and there was not much interest, and there was naturally no motivation for things without interests, so Britain also did a listless job. If it weren't for the Ottomans, they wouldn't even be building up their presence here. Because there is nothing to do here, Niu Niu is not too willing to go straight to the end of the game himself, and they prefer to use a proxy.

Now the Arabian Peninsula is surrounded by the spheres of influence of various major powers, including Britain, France, and of course, the Ottoman Empire, which entered the Arabian Peninsula very early, plus those large and small Arab warlords, it can be said that the forces of all parties on the Arabian Peninsula are intertwined, and the shape is very complicated.

Because of the open and secret battles between the various forces in this place, no one obeys anyone, and there is no absolute control of the forces, the Dongqi faction of Mayasu began to fish in troubled waters in this chaotic place. The Dongqi faction had money and could fight, and soon killed and annexed some weak hostile forces, forming a separatist force in the local area.

For the first few years, Mayasu's organization was a nascent religious group, although their teachings were offbeat and considered heretical by the conservative Green Sect. But it's nothing, they can't fight it anyway, even if it's a heresy, they have to pinch their noses and admit it. According to Mayasu's words, it is: "Our Eastern Apocalypse is the most authentic and most in line with Allah's will, and it is our manifest destiny to reform the Green Religion, and I will not obey you to beat me!"

However, although Mayasu is hostile to most conservative sects, there are extras. He inadvertently gained the approval of enlightened sects such as the Alawites and the Baha'is, and even they thought that this "Eastern Apocalypse" that suddenly appeared was their branch sect. As a result, Mayazur simply increased his infiltration into them, and in the face of overwhelming economy and force, these "heretics" were quickly integrated into the "Eastern Apocalypse".

On the other hand, he did not let go of those conservative sects, and in the areas where he could use force, he adopted the method of purging the upper strata and co-opting the lower strata to expand. In areas where it is inconvenient to use force, they use guò to provoke the masses to fight the masses, deliberately provoke contradictions between different sects and forces, and so on, so that they can PK each other. On the other hand, it also uses the method of "pulling sheep" to compete with conservative sects for believers.

The Eastern Apocalypse, with a money bag in one hand and a gun in the other, is thriving in this chaotic land. In just eight years, the power of the Eastern Apocalypse expanded rapidly, and the church organization expanded to Iraq, Jordan, and the Arabian Peninsula, with nearly 1 million adherents. You must know that the total population of the Arab region (excluding Africa) at this time is only about 12.5 million, and there are many various sects in it, and the sect with 1 million believers can already rank in the top three, and this is still only a new sect that has been established for less than ten years.

Initially, the Ottomans and England also took note of this active Eastern Apocalypse, but they did not pay attention to it.

The Ottoman Empire was powerless and simply pretended not to know, but in their opinion, it was the British and the disobedient Arab warlords who were unlucky, and this was a good thing! When the Eastern Apocalypse was stirring up trouble in various parts of Arabia, they were very gloating.

The attitude of the British is even more chic, and for the activity of the Eastern Apocalypse, Niu Niu said that he cares about my birds. In the opinion of this veteran-stirring stick, the more chaotic this place in the Middle East, the better, as long as you can chop off the black hand stretched out by the Ottomans, it doesn't matter which force is in power, anyway, no matter how much you toss in this place where birds don't lay eggs, you can't make big waves. Because to put it bluntly, this place is a rotten land, and even if anyone can unify the entire Arabian Peninsula, it is still a poor country, and it is not worth paying attention to at all.

Moreover, Mayasu is also very knowledgeable, and after beating the surrounding forces and showing his strength, he expressed his goodwill to the British colonial authorities. He stated that the Ottoman Empire was heretical and was willing to assist Britain in its opposition to the Ottomans. Britain will also be happy to have more than one thug, although they also support a few agents in the local area, but it is also a good thing that one more can fight, anyway, a sheep is driven, a flock of sheep is also released, what does it matter? Therefore, Britain will not only not weaken the power of Mayasu, but on the contrary, it will also support the Eastern Apocalypse in military and economic politics, making it the vanguard of the fight against and suppression of the Ottoman Empire.

As for the conflict between the agents, that is what the British are happy to see, and if these agents are really like a family, they will have to worry.

By 1913, the Eastern Apocalypse had firmly controlled southern Iraq, parts of the Kurdish region, and the northeastern part of the peninsula, and the population had increased to 500,000. At this time, China also gained the Gulf Territory, which happened to border the Eastern Apocalypse. At this moment, the development of Eastern Apocalypse is even more irrepressible. A large number of weapons, food, medicines, and various daily necessities were delivered to Mayasu in a steady stream of Tongguò Bay Territory.

At this time, Mayasu declared in his capacity as the Great Imam: The idea of scientific socialism is an idea that conforms to the will of Allah, and secularization and scientificization are the true path for the development of green religion. At the same time, secularization and education of the people began in the ruling areas. In October 1913, Mayasu founded the Arab People's Ba'ath Party based on the backbone of the Eastern Apocalyptic Church.

After this news came out, the European and American powers burst into laughter. Isn't this Nima funny? The great powers all took this as a joke, and they all thought that Mayasu was caught in the brain, probably because this guy thought that the political party sounded like a bunker, so he also made a fool of himself.

But they never expected that this seemingly funny organization would actually inflate like a balloon, because a giant panda appeared faintly behind them. After the outbreak of World War I, Britain, France, and other countries were too busy to take care of themselves, and they had no energy to take care of the affairs of the Middle East. By 1915, they had organized a modern army of more than 8,000 men, with a population of more than one million, becoming the most powerful force on the peninsula and beginning to expand into the territory of the Saud family.

..................................................................

Time back to Riyadh yesterday afternoon.

Riyadh is the home of the House of Saud, the Second Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that was destroyed by the Rashid family in 1891. The survivors of the House of Saud fled, and Ibn Saud went into exile with his father to the Emir of Kuwait.

In 1902, the Saud classmates formed a small reunion to regain their ancestral land. On a crescent night, Ibn Saud led more than 40 men from Kuwait to raid Riyadh. They infiltrated the city of Riyadh and attacked and killed the governor of Riyadh appointed by the Rashid family, taking the old base of the Saudi family. This seemingly plot-like event became the www.biquge.info of Ibn Saud's life's work.

Ibn Saud then used Riyadh as a base to expand his influence around it, taking advantage of the contradictions between the Ottoman Empire and the British, and eventually became one of the British agents in the Arab region.

According to the history of the original plane, Ibn Saud will soon be able to fly in the sky. In 1913, with the support of the British, Ibn Saud went to war against the Ottoman Empire, attacked the Al Ahsa region, and eventually won the victory, thus gaining access to the sea. In this way, Ibn al-Saud's power was in a three-pronged position with the Hejaz kingdom of the Hashemite family in the west of the peninsula and the al-Rashid family in the north.

In 1915, Ibn Saud signed the Treaty of Ukhair with the British, forming an alliance with the British against the Rashid family supported by the Ottoman Empire. In 1921, he sent troops against the feuding clan Rashid, and after half a year of siege to capture the city of Hail, the Rashid family surrendered, and Ibn Saud declared himself "the sultan of Najd and its belongings."

If this were the end of the day, Ibn Saud would have restored the territory and glory of his ancestors, but he was not satisfied. Then, in 1924, he attacked the kingdom of the Hejaz, capturing Mecca, Medina, and Jeddah, driving out the Hashemite family. Ibn Saud declared himself "King of the Hejaz and Najd." In 1927, the Treaty of Jeddah was re-signed with the United Kingdom. The new treaty abolished British privileges and declared "complete and absolute" the state led by Ibn Saud. In 1932, he formally merged the two kingdoms of Hejaz and Najd into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, a theocratic monarchy.

It can be said that Ibn Saud was really lucky, because the external environment of the two world wars, the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire, and the eagerness of Britain and the United States to find allies in the Arabian Peninsula all became favorable conditions for Ibn Saud's successful establishment of the state. Under the balance of various forces, not only did they recapture the kingdom of Najd, but also unified the Arabian Peninsula and established a new Arab state under the premise of maintaining a relative situation. The process of its rise is similar to the plot, which can be called "the Arab version of Long Aotian".

However, on this plane, this "Arab Dragon Aotian" full of "pig's foot fan" is not so smooth sailing, and the Hasa region, which should have been conquered by him, was sold to China by the Ottoman Empire. At this moment, the Saudi classmates who had just prepared the troops were dumbfounded, China is not as easy to bully as the Ottomans, not to mention that his master, Britain, is courting China at this time and does not support him to go to war with China at all.

Well, without the Al Ahsa region, there are other territories, and if it doesn't work here, let's expand in another place, this little setback can't scare the Saudi classmates. However, the god stick named Abdullah Harun Mayasu, who returned from the east, became his nemesis.

At that time, the Arabian Peninsula, from the northeast to the southeast of the coastal areas, was the territory of Britain and China, and these areas must not be touched, and the Hashemite family in the west was powerful and was also a proxy raised by the British, which was not something that Saudi Arabia could afford to provoke. As a result, only the north remained in the direction of expansion. The Rashid family in the north is not only a feud in Saudi Arabia, but also a pro-Ottoman force, so it is simply the best target.

As for the Eastern Apocalypse, which is also in the north, it seems that there are Chinese behind it, and it is also quite capable of fighting, at least not now that Saudi Arabia can gnaw down. So he sent an emissary to show goodwill to Mayasu, and claimed that he wanted revenge on the Rashid family, hoping that Mayasu would remain neutral. Mayasu had an ambiguous attitude towards this, took out the magic stick method, and said some ambiguous words. They expressed the hope that they would refrain from using force and that it would be better to settle the dispute through negotiations.

When the Saudi classmates received the reply, they were furious. Negotiate your sister! Who in the Arab region doesn't know that you have always used guns and cannons to negotiate with people, and now that Nima has made enough, he will pretend to be a good person, and he is really a mud horse.

Because from the end of 1913, Mayazu stopped expanding outward, and instead reorganized the interior, improved the local organization, and vigorously developed the economy. He imported a lot of industrial equipment from China, established some factories, and also introduced improved crops and livestock to develop modern agriculture. According to the thoughts of Saudi classmates, this is the table that has caught enough. Moreover, he himself is an agent of the British, presumably Mayasu would not dare to violate the tacit understanding between China and Britain and do anything excessive.

At the beginning of June this year, the Saudi students who had been preparing for several years officially launched an attack on the Emirate of Jebel Shamal (also known as the Emirate of Hail and the Emirate of Rashid), which is ruled by the Rashid family. At the beginning of the war, the Saudi classmates showed the aura of pig's feet, and in several successive battles, the army of the Rashid family was defeated, and soon reached the capital city of Hail. The Rashid family hurriedly asked for help, and among them they also found the Arab People's Baath Party.

But just when Saudi Arabia was about to win, Mayasu, who had been a "good boy" for several years, moved. The Arab People's Baath Party left only 1,000 people to watch over their homes, and the remaining 7,000 or so officers and soldiers poured out of the nest and stabbed the Saudi army in the back.

Well, Mayasu's reasons are also very strong. First of all, Saudi Arabia, the bear child, did not listen to his own advice and started the war without authorization. Secondly, the Rashid family also asked for help from themselves, and they couldn't ignore it.

Subsequently, under the attack of the Arab People's Army and the Rashid family, the Saudi army suffered an unprecedented defeat. After the defeat of the Saudis, Mayasu led the coalition forces to pursue them unhurriedly, and everywhere they went, they purged all the local forces and supporters of the Saudi family. By the day before yesterday, the coalition forces had entered the city of Riyadh.

After two days of rest, the coalition forces are now officially attacking the city.

At this time, the outside of Riyadh was firmly surrounded by coalition forces, and Ibn Saud stood on the city wall, staring at the coalition forces outside the city with hateful eyes. His body was wrapped in dense bandages, almost like a mummy, all wounded under the city of Hail, he was blown open in the abdomen by a mortar shell of the People's Army, and his intestines flowed out, but he still survived and escaped. But a dozen brothers and cousins were all killed in the blockade in order to cover him.

"Why? Why is this happening? How dare they do this?" Ibn Saud's face turned white, and he still did not understand why he had been defeated so badly. The House of Saud is the head of an extremist sect and has historically offended many people, especially the sects that are close to them. In the past, when they were awesome, everyone was not good. But now that they are in the streets, how can there be any reason not to beat the water dogs? Now the coalition forces outside the city are not only Mayasu and Rashid's people, but also the Shiites who have been at odds with them, and even some conservative sects.

Looking at the number of troops outside the city, there were at least thirty thousand, and a sense of powerlessness rose in his heart. There was no way, the main force of the Saudi family had already suffered casualties under the city of Hail and in the subsequent blockade, although the general mobilization began after returning, but even if he tried his best, he only recruited less than 4,000 people.

Hail's defeat in the First World War was a fatal blow to his prestige and that of the Saudi family. Many of the tribes that had been attached to him no longer sent people, and some even took refuge in the other side. For these tribes, this kind of behavior is a normal thing, who told you that the Saudi family is not powerful. In the past, it was because of your strength that we obeyed you, but now that you are on the street, do you want us to accompany the funeral?

Now those who are willing to follow him are all relatives and hardcore supporters of his own family, but Hail has lost most of the youth and strength of these backbone families in the first war, and most of these people who can still come to serve as defenders are old and weak and young. And in that fiasco, they lost almost all their baggage and most of their weapons, and now this makeshift team lacked guns, and many of them still had cold weapons.

At this time, one of his nephews ran over with an ugly face.

As soon as Ibn Saud saw his face, he knew that something was wrong, but he still did not give up and asked: "What did the British say?"

His nephew's face turned pale and said, "Uncle, the British say...... They said that we had caused this matter ourselves, and let us negotiate with the other party to solve it. They don't have the energy to do that right now......"

"Damn the British!" Ibn Saud spat in indignation.

"Uncle, what should we do now?

Ibn Saud thought for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Break out, let's break through and then go to the territory of the British, we will come to the door, they can't ignore it! Hussein, you go ......."

"Boom, boom...... Boom Boom Boom ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a dull explosion.

He turned his head to look and saw that there were dozens of thick iron pipes on the coalition position, and now puffs of gunpowder smoke were rising from the mouth of the pipe. He had seen this weapon during the battle of Hail, and it seemed to be a mortar weapon, and his wounds were inflicted by this weapon.

He looked at the sky with great experience, and saw dozens of black dots falling rapidly.

"No, get out of the way, get out of the city wall and take cover......" he hurriedly shouted to his men, and as his guards quickly set him up and hid in the bunker on the wall.

"Boom, boom...... Boom Boom ......Boom "Dozens of mortar shells from 80mm to 160mm whistled down with a deafening explosion. The current defenders are not the elite of the past, many of them have never even seen artillery, and they don't know how to dodge at all. When the shells came, many people were still stunned, and it was a good target.

With just one round of shelling, the city walls were suddenly covered with blood and flesh, and countless severed limbs flew everywhere along with blood and sand.

"Well, this round has a very good effect! Continue to shoot at the city wall at a normal rate of fire......" Behind the artillery position, Mayasu put down the binoculars, nodded with satisfaction, and continued to order: "The demolition team prepares, blow up this city wall for me!"

Mayasu wore a desert camouflage uniform, a military hat with a visor cloth on his head, a Chinese-made Type 09 pistol pinned to his waist, and an ornately decorated Arabic scimitar. Mayasu is tall, with good facial features and a shallow beard on his face, and looks like a standard handsome Arab guy. At just 35 years old, he is already a legend in the Arab world, a man of wisdom and charisma. He was knowledgeable, wise, and eloquent. And he is superb, his marksmanship is extremely accurate, and he can be called both civil and military, wise and brave. At the same time, he was strong-willed and resolute in his means. In every way, he is full of heroes, more like a "pig's foot" than that Ibn Saud.

At this time, a group of soldiers, carrying several pipes thicker than mortars, quickly rushed in the direction of the city walls. Under the cover of artillery fire, they quickly came to a place about 200 meters away from the city wall, and then quickly set up their belongings here.

"What is that?" said Ibn Saud, who saw the scene through the lookout, but he didn't know what those thick pipes were. But he knew that these were certainly not good things, so he immediately ordered his men to shoot at the busy coalition soldiers.

However, as soon as his men poked their heads out, the machine guns under the city rang out.

"Da ......" Just heard a sound that seemed to tear sackcloth, and several Saudi soldiers were beaten into a sieve.

If you are a knowledgeable officer, you will know that these thick tubes are something called a projectile, or a "cannon without conscience". Although the range is very short, it is great to use it to demolish houses.

Under the cover of machine guns and mortars, the Demoman quickly set up the projectile, first loaded it into a circular isolation plate, then into a square cylindrical bag, set the gauge, and fired it with a thud.

"Boom, boom...... Boom, boom, boom, boom......" An earth-shattering explosion suddenly sounded on the battlefield. Ibn Saud, who was in the bunker, only felt a tremendous force coming, and he fainted in agony.

With just one volley, the walls of Riyadh were blasted open with a gap, while several bunkers were destroyed.

No way, stone and clay are hard to find in desert areas, and the walls made of sand are not very strong enough to withstand the intense blasting.

Another volley came from the projectile, widening the gap by about 20 meters, and the surrounding defenders were either killed or stunned. Now Riyadh has opened up to coalition forces.

At this time, the coalition forces had also lined up and were ready to enter the city.

Mayasu mounted an Arab horse, drew his saber, and shouted to the coalition forces: "Today, we are no longer divided into Easterners, Shiites, and Sunnis; today we have a common name, and that is Muslims! We are faithful servants of Allah and humble followers of the Qur'an and the Sunnah! Today we will crush the heretics who have usurped the name of Allah and destroyed holy relics and holy tombs! Charge with me, defend our faith and destroy heretics! Alahu Akbar!"

"Alahu Akbar!" the coalition forces shouted slogans as they followed Mayasu into Riyadh. , who called you the Saud family not to give up. In the past, it was because of your strength that we obeyed you, but now that you are on the street, do you want us to accompany the funeral?

Now those who are willing to follow him are all relatives and hardcore supporters of his own family, but Hail has lost most of the youth and strength of these backbone families in the first war, and most of these people who can still come to serve as defenders are old and weak and young.
