Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 210: Chinese History

Fasser had a good time in the past two days, because he adopted a cooperative attitude and handed over the information about the treasure. The prince received preferential treatment from the German army. Chen? Yuan ↘文? Xue ↓ Net Of course, Fasher's identity at this time is still a prisoner of the German army, and he is only treated as an ordinary officer, but compared with those prisoners in prison cells, it is really better. Too much.

He can get enough food for three meals a day. In order to take care of his religious beliefs, the German army also specially found his chef from the prisoners. Several private servants brought out by Prince Fasher were all captured with the back-up camel team at that time. Daogen ordered the release of these people and let them continue to serve the prince.

After receiving Xu Jun’s order, Daogen took his men and some of the treasures, as well as the prince Fasher, left the station and drove to the forward airport called "Gravel." Camp Sparu also sent a special Two platoons of tanks served as the guards, accompanied by a fully loaded motorized infantry company.

The firepower of this small unit is enough to repel the attack of thousands of Bedouin cavalry, and at this time, no nomadic tribe in central Saudi Arabia can draw so many cavalry.

The powerful local tribes held each other to protect themselves, while those loyal to the royal family began to migrate towards Riyadh.

The environment in the Arabian Peninsula is special, with water shortages and low agricultural levels. The annual output of food and agricultural products in the country is very low. Except for a few oasis areas with sufficient water sources, most of the inland areas must rely on imported food from outside. Many towns were unable to be self-sufficient until the end of the 1970s.

This led to the fact that in the central and eastern Arabian Peninsula at that time, apart from the capital Riyadh, there was no large town with a population of more than 100,000. It was really limited in land production and unable to supply more people. The Arabs can only live scattered on the vast land in a tribal situation. Only when a large-scale war breaks out will the tribes gather.

The leader does not need to provide army weapons and equipment. These things are provided by the tribal warriors according to the rules, but the leader must pay commissions to the tribal warriors, while providing daily food and clean water. Of course, once the battle begins, the materials and ammunition consumed by the soldiers will also need to be replenished by the leader. Therefore, if it had not received financial aid from the British, Ibn Saudi Arabia would not be able to gather so many soldiers and create such a large foundation.

Now so many tribes are driven by coalition forces to flee to Riyadh. With the capital’s food and drinking water reserves, I don’t know how long they can last. Saudi Arabia’s external passages are all closed. From the moment the war broke out, no grain of grain would cross the border. Intelligence showed that because the war broke out too suddenly, Saudi Arabia did not have much grain reserves in the Nezha area, and now it is assembled again. With so many people, I believe that the food will soon be consumed. By then, even if you have money, you will not be able to buy food, and the entire Neizhi area will be plunged into a terrible famine.

As the Saudi base camp, the local environment is quite harsh. Except for several oasis cities such as Riyadh and Blanda, most areas within the territory are dusty and barren, except for camels and Bedouin herders. No one can survive in such a place.

The situation in the Hanzhi area, which controls the east coast of the Red Sea and the coastal commercial roads, is much better. The Hanzhi Mountains block the water vapour blowing from the Red Sea. There is still some rainfall every year. In addition, the two holy cities are in the territory. It receives countless pilgrims from all over the world, so the development of commerce and agriculture is much more prosperous than the Nezha area.

But in the harsh environment of Neizhi, a Bedouin warrior with a hard-working character was cultivated. So 15 years ago, the Saudi family clamored for it, and the Ihwan militia conquered life in one fell swoop. The comfortable Kingdom of Hanzhi ended the thousand-year rule of the Hashemite family here.

Now the territory of the Hanzhi Kingdom has almost all fallen into the hands of the German-British coalition forces. Almost all of the local families loyal to the royal family migrated from the internal governance 15 years ago, and their roots are not deep. . Fearing that they would be liquidated by the German-British coalition forces and the local family, some families abandoned the property they had accumulated for fifteen years, traveled lightly through the steep Hanzhi Mountains, and fled back to the internal governance area still under the rule of the king.

But there are also those who stayed with their scalps. These people thought that as long as they pleased these foreign invading troops, they would be able to keep their family business. They did not know that the Hashim family who came back right after the invading troops was the comeback. As the original masters of the Hanzhi Kingdom, the Hashemites did not show any kindness to these betrayers and enemies.

At this time, only fifteen years have passed since the Hashemite family retreated. The Hanzhi people have already begun to miss the era of Sharif (Sharif Hussein) rule, although the old king proclaimed himself a "caliph" The behavior was a bit arrogant, but the life back then was much more comfortable and cozy than it is now.

The locals do not know what is called a global economic crisis, nor do they know what a strategic blockade is. They only know that for more than 20 years since Saudi Arabia has occupied Hanzhi, there have been a lot fewer caravans, but the king’s taxes With the increase year by year, dates and camels cannot be sold, and people’s lives are not as good as one crop.

This time, the Hashemite family sent Prince Talal bin Abdul, who is the grandson of Sharif Hussein, a direct member of the Hashemite family, and has served as a king of Jordan in history. .

It is said that Sharif Hussein is regarded as highly respected in the Arab world, and it is this chief who cooperated with the "Lawrence of Arabia" in history. It is a pity that when he was old, the king's ego was a bit swollen. He even ignored the opposition of the people and those around him, arbitrarily calling himself the new generation of Caliph. Sharif Hussein's actions shook the entire Arab world, and his reputation accumulated over the past few decades was lost.

However, the Hashemite family is, after all, a clan of religious prophets, and it has great prestige in the Middle East. In the end, although the family was driven out of the holy city of Mecca, the descendants of Sharif continued to rule in Iraq and Trans Jordan .

There is actually another prince in the Hashemite family who is more suitable to return to Hanzhi, that is, Prince Abdullah Ira, the eldest son of the second king Ali Sharif, but Ira is currently serving as the regent in Iraq. Assist his five-year-old nephew of the king.

Iraqi King Faisal I was a fashionable monarch, and he was involved in a car accident last year while driving his newly bought Buick sports car, leaving behind the four-year-old Prince Gazi Ibn Faisal. The only heir. Because this prince is too young, he can only be temporarily regent by the adult prince of the Hashemite family. At that time, Abdullah Yila happened to live in Iraq and was promoted to the throne of regent.

In history, the regent of Iraq and Faisal II were killed together in a military coup 18 years later, and the monarchy of Iraq was overthrown. Since then, Iraq has entered the era of military government, and It continued until the fall of Saddam's regime.

The British publicized the current war as a revenge battle for the Hashemite family to regain the internal governance. At present, the effect of the publicity is indeed impressive. After the capture of Jeddah Port, the British army did not encounter any resistance from any local family. Especially when Prince Abdul arrived in Jeddah, he was welcomed by local residents.

Current battles in the Inner Zhishan Mountains are carried out between the landing British troops and the Saudi tribal armed forces stationed near the holy city. Only the tribal armed forces closest to the royal family can receive this honor. After receiving ground and air support, the speed of the British army's advance is accelerating, and I believe it took only two days to win the entire holy city. At the same time, members of the Hashemite family have sneaked into Mecca quietly. They have buried a lot of relationships in this city, and they should play some role in the upcoming siege.

However, Xu Jun is not interested in this religious holy city at all. He thinks it is better to leave it to the British. The British Empire has colonized the Arab world for many years and has more experience in handling religious issues than the Germans. .

Speaking of the Prince Fasher, it was the first time in his life to fly on a plane. He was full of curiosity while he was afraid. Soon after taking off, Fasher was fascinated by the feeling of flying. The Germans would never have thought ~IndoMTL.com~ they created an avid flying enthusiast.

Prince Fashir was placed under house arrest in a house in Yanbu Port. The owner was originally a businessman. On the day of the German invasion, he took his family and fled Yanbu Port. It is said that he went to Outer Jordan with other wealthy families. Ran in the same direction, and I don’t know if it will be hit by the African Legion.

Early this morning, Fasher was taken away from the temporary residence by the Germans. At this time, he was surprised to find that the entire city had been under martial law. There were German patrols all over the streets and rows of roadsides. Platoons were parked with military armored vehicles painted with sandy yellow paint.

If this situation were not for a dramatic change in the battle situation, it would be that a big man came to this port. Fasher did not believe that the German army would be defeated, so obviously it should be the second answer he guessed.

Fasser was taken to the residence of the Yanbu Port Administrative Officer. He recognized the courtyard at a glance because he had been a guest here two years ago.

"Administrator Adil is a very warm and hospitable official. I don’t know if the moral army occupied this place. He rose up to resist. I want to use this administrator’s temper to resist, but I don’t know what he is doing now. That's it."

After eating lunch, Prince Fasher was sitting in the hut where he was being held, thinking about it, and then the door was suddenly opened. Lieutenant Colonel Randolph walked in in a big manner, followed by two broad waists behind him. SS.

"Fasser, someone wants to see you." A SS shouted in blunt Arabic.

"Who wants to see me?" Fasher stood up and asked.

"Don't talk nonsense, take him away." Randolph put his hand behind him, and rolled his head coldly toward the door.
