"His Excellency Wu Tingfang, on behalf of the French Republic, I will express my most serious protest to your country. The Kingdom of Neizhi is a French colony. China's support for the Saudi family to establish the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and subvert France's rule in the Kingdom of Neizhi has completely damaged France.

The interests of France. France has the right to take the next step of action, and all the consequences arising from China will be borne by China!" Wu Tingfang, the French ambassador to China, accused China's atrocities in front of the harsh Chinese Foreign Minister. However,

Wu Tingfang performed very well at his roar, and kept smiling, as if he was not moved at all.

"Mr. Ambassador, I am very sorry for what happened in the Middle East. However, our country believes that the Arabs pursue freedom and the best of the people. And the Saudis are also qualified to do so, as rulers of the Neizhi Kingdom. my country also has the power to provide help to the Saudi family. As for the Saudi kingdom's resistance to France's colonial rule, our country has no choice. Of course, the Middle East is completely a desert and has no value at all. France can completely withdraw from this area!" Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang said with a smile.

"His Excellency Minister of Foreign Affairs, this is impossible, absolutely impossible! France will not give up its legitimate interests overseas!" French Ambassador to China Pierre said rudely. Perhaps, before this, all countries in the world will

Thinking that the Middle East is a barren land. However, China is willing to spend such a large price for the Middle East, which shows that the Middle East must have huge benefits that everyone does not know. If France lets go at this time, it is impossible.

of.

"Amistantor, I can only say sorry. As France's attitude, we have signed a treaty with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and China will not betray the treaty!" Wu Tingfang suppressed the smile on his face and said coldly.

.In this matter, although China's approach is a bit inappropriate, it is worth it for the sake of national interests.

"His Excellency Minister of Foreign Affairs, does China want a war? The French Republic will take all measures for its own interests, including war!" French Ambassador to China Pierre threatened.

"War? No, China is a peace-loving country. China does not want the war to break out. However, China can also face all difficulties, including war for the sake of the country's interests!" Wu Tingfang said firmly. Facing France,

China is not afraid at all. The Indian Ocean has become a game between the Chinese Navy and the British Navy, and the Chinese Navy has the upper hand. Even if the French Navy's warships are added to their new battleships in service in China, the Chinese Navy will also be

As for the army, it is impossible for large-scale war to break out in the deserts in the Middle East. China's dispatch of a division of troops to Saudi Arabia is enough to solve all problems.

At that time, the navy could even be dispatched to block the waterway, allowing France to take risks. Therefore, in this conflict, China was destined to have the upper hand. Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang was also very tough because of this!

"Since that's the case, Your Excellency Minister of Foreign Affairs, I will say goodbye. However, I promise you that China will pay the price for today's arrogance!" After seeing China's tough attitude, Pierre, the French ambassador to China, also

I knew that there would be no result if I continued to talk, so I had to leave a harsh word and say goodbye.

Wu Tingfang didn't take Pierre's threat seriously at all. After sending Pierre away, he went straight to Xinhua Palace to meet Emperor Yuze. For the sake of the Middle East, or the oil below the Middle East, China took the initiative to make peace.

France and even the entire Allied Powers have met. Even today's China has to be cautious. Once a full-scale war breaks out, China is still a bit unsustainable.

In Xinhua Palace, in Wang Yuze's study, when Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang arrived, Wang Yuze was summoning Chief of Staff Xiong Wu, Army Minister Cai Yun, and Navy Minister Zhang Cheng to discuss the situation in the Middle East.

"Your Majesty, the French Ambassador to China, Pierre, has just arrived. He expressed serious protests to the empire on behalf of France!" Wu Tingfang reported.

"Don't worry about him, just pretend that the French are farting!" Wang Yuze said indifferently. France, which is addicted to capital exports, has repeatedly declined. Although it is still one of the world's top powers, it can pose a threat to China.

It's already very limited.

Wu Tingfang smiled and didn't say anything more. He also thought so.

"Your Majesty, our Indian Ocean Fleet has entered the Persian Gulf. And, it is docked in Daman, Kazakhstan. We sold 30,000 rifles, one hundred light machine guns and fifty heavy ones to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Machine guns and fifty infantry cannons have been handed over to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. These weapons are enough to arm the newly recruited troops of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia!" Chief of Staff Xiong Wu reported.

"Let the squadron be stationed in Daman for the time being! From now on, it will be a base for our Indian Ocean Fleet. What is the situation in the Saudi Kingdom now? What are the movements of the Rashid family and the French army?

?” Wang Yuze asked. Although the Saudi family acquired Riyadh and established the Saudi Kingdom, most of the territory originally belonged to the Neizhi Kingdom was still under the rule of the Rashid family. In addition, there were tens of thousands of French people in the Middle East.

Garaging troops is also a troublesome.

"The army led by Saudi Prince Abdul Aziz is advancing towards Hail. It is expected that the war will break out in two to three days. Although the Rashid family has more troops, both equipment and combat power

, none of them can be compared with the Saudi family's army trained by us. The expected final victory must belong to the Saudi army. The French team is gathering and there is no sign of attacking the Saudi Kingdom at present!"

Xiong Wu said.

"The French are waiting, they are waiting for opportunities, or want to determine what we have found in the Middle East. If the interests are attractive enough, the French will definitely intervene. The 10th Marine Division has arrived there

?When can we enter the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia?" Wang Yuze asked.

"Your Majesty, the 10th Marine Division, will arrive in the Persian Gulf in three days. With the combat power of the 10th Marine Division, it is enough to easily defeat the French team!" Navy Minister Zhang Cheng replied. After the war, the navy was over.

All ten Marine brigades were expanded into divisions, with a total force of more than doubled and well-equipped, and have become China's vanguard when using troops overseas.

"Well! With the 10th Marine Division in Saudi Arabia, neither the French nor the British could steal our interests. However, the army must also strengthen its infiltration into the Middle East. Only by moving forward in the sea and road together can we ensure that

The Empire's interests in the Middle East are not damaged!" Wang Yuze reminded. The Fifth Army Army Army Army Army is located in the Western Xinjiang Province. To the south, it is Afghanistan, Persia and Iraq. These areas are all British spheres of influence. Below

The oil contained in it is also something that China cannot let go of.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Fifth Army has made relevant preparations. Our people are already actively contacting the Persian royal family and the Afghan royal family. They are also quite interested in getting rid of British colonial rule!" Army Minister Cai Yun replied

Tao. From the current perspective, large-scale wars will not break out for a long time in the future. But small-scale wars, such as the ruling wars that subvert a small country, will emerge one after another.

"By the way, where are the oil exploration personnel we dispatched? When will we arrive? Whether the oil field can be found is very critical!" Wang Yuze said. Oil is the blood of the industry, although this effect has not yet been fully demonstrated yet.

But many countries have begun to pay attention to this point. Because of Wang Yuze's attention, China also attaches great importance to this energy.

"We have sent a group of top experts who will arrive in the Kazakhstan area with the 10th Marine Division. At that time, the Marines will provide them with full help and protection. However, your Majesty, we will give the Saudi Kingdom a gift.

Is the conditions too high? One hundred million Chinese yuan is equivalent to half of the military expenditure of fiscal funding!" Xiong Wu, the Chief of Staff, felt a little painful when he thought of this condition.

"Chief of General Staff, this condition is not high. Moreover, I can't bear to leave my child and can't trap the wolf. At the beginning, we may lose a little, but in the long run, we can earn dozens of times or even more of the benefits!" Wang Yuze was very sure of it.

Said.

Wang Yuze remembers that in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Garvar Oilfield in the eastern region of Riyadh is the world's largest oilfield, with reserves of more than 10 billion tons. However, the burial is relatively deep, and with current technology, it is still difficult to mine.

First occupy these places, and then slowly exploit them when the technical conditions are met in the future. In addition, Kuwait oil fields and Iraqi oil fields can also be exploited under the current technical conditions. Saudi Arabia's Bugeg Oilfield,

The reserves are also more than 2 billion tons, and with current technology, they can be exploited. China's primary goal in the Persian Gulf region is this oil field.

China's current number of cars has exceeded that of the United States, reaching 40,000, while the United States only has only 23,000. Of course, this is due to China's large-scale promotion of the use of cars, especially artillery soldiers in the military.

The troops have already started to replace mules and horses with heavy trucks, which has led to an exponential increase in China's annual car ownership. In addition, the Shanghai Army's warships have also used oil-fired boilers instead of coal-fired boilers. China's oil usage is the same every year.

In the increasing trend, although the current crude oil price is not high, even so, China needs to spend huge amounts of money on crude oil as soon as possible. If there is oil from the Saudi Kingdom, this money can be saved! (To be continued.
