The expansion of the British Empire in the Middle East did not see broad progress and future, but decolonization for the sake of colonization. However, in order to expand its influence, the British still spent some time in the Middle East and stationed 130,000 people in the Middle East.
People's colonial armies are mainly stationed in places such as Iraq and Yemen.
In the Najd Kingdom, which has the largest territory, there are also three powerful families. Some are hounds trained by the British, and some are minions of the Ottoman Empire. The most famous of them is the Rashid family, which was around the 18th century.
, a new Islamic family, the Sid family, appeared in the Najd region. As the central idea to achieve great political unification, the leader of the Sid family successively conquered parts of Najd, occupied Riyadh, and successfully attacked Kuwait.
Conquer Mecca and Medina.
A large amount of territory was seized directly from the hands of the Ottoman Empire. As the British Empire invaded the Arabian Peninsula in the 19th century, the leaders of the Sid family knew one thing very well, that is, the Saudi Arabian region must be united, so for a period of time,
Whether it was Hijaz or Najd, the rulers of the two kingdoms, with the help of the Sid family, worked together to resist the British invasion.
If the British invasion failed, they would naturally think of another way. If the frontal approach didn't work, they would adopt roundabout control. Therefore, under the cultivation of the British, a new family emerged in Saudi Arabia, followed closely by the Ottoman Empire, which was not willing to be unwilling.
Fall behind and develop its own representatives in the Saudi Arabian region.
Soon, the tripartite alliance began to loosen due to various reasons. In particular, King Dula'ad of Najd increased the number of troops every year in the vast and vast area under his control. At this time, he already had more than 500,000 troops.
In order to defend against the attack of the Kingdom of Najd, Hejaz finally maintained its alliance with the Sid family and began to expand its army.
Mecca and Medina are the only two cities in the Kingdom of Hijaz. According to Li Ningyu's memory, in the 30-year war of unification of Saudi Arabia, the powerful Kingdom of Najd finally unified the world, but Li Ningyu
Why change history?
Because in the 30-year war of unification of Saudi Arabia, the Kingdom of Najd was very ineffective under the command of Dulea Ad, so Li Ningyu was willing to help the weak, which made everyone realize that the Far East Group is indestructible
As long as we cooperate with the Far East, victory is inevitable.
After everyone arrived at the impromptu meeting, Li Ningyu immediately motioned for Kong Xiaoping to take charge. Then everyone present heard Kong Xiaoping read out the content and said: "Based on the intelligence work that was carried out before, it was analyzed that the Kingdom of Nejd currently has
The army has about 550,000 soldiers, and its weapons are mainly individual assault weapons and cavalry. There is no chance of large-caliber artillery and heavy machine guns. The Kingdom of Hijaz currently has less than 150,000 army troops and more infantry. When we provide them with 50,000
After individual weapons, it also has heavy weapons such as heavy machine guns and artillery; the Sid family controls Al-Hasa on the border with the United Arab Emirates and has 100,000 soldiers, mainly cavalry, and the others are unknown!".
"Okay, now I want to hear what everyone thinks? Let's talk about it!" After Kong Xiaoping introduced the current power structure in Saudi Arabia, Li Ningyu asked everyone present to share their views and opinions.
.
"Principal! I personally think that since we have reached an alliance with the Kingdom of Hejaz, we might as well mobilize a field army from Africa and place it in Somalia, fight directly there, mobilize naval transport ships, and then dispatch a force to land from the rear.
Troops, come outflank and destroy the Kingdom of Najd first! It saves time and effort! If the Sid family in Hassa dares to act rashly, just destroy them together. This will kill two birds with one stone! Take full control of Saudi Arabia!
"
The first person to stand up and rush to speak was Jiang Zhongzheng, but after hearing what he said, Li Ningyu did not immediately express his position. Instead, he motioned for him to sit down first, and then asked with his eyes whether anyone else stood up to answer.
Seeing that Li Ningyu did not comment on Jiang Zhongzheng's words, Cai Songpo was the second to stand up and express his opinions. He cleared his throat. Cai Songpo glanced at Jiang Zhongzheng, who was young but was Li Ningyu's student.
Then he walked to a wall with a military map in the temporary conference room, picked up a baton and began to say: "I think that once the war of unification breaks out in Saudi Arabia, the surrounding situation will immediately change. At present,
, there are actually many forces capable of carrying out armed intervention in the Middle East!”.
"For example, the British Empire and the Ottoman Empire are two old empires!..."
"What's the point? If the British dare to send troops, can't our Far East send troops? Our Far East..." Hearing Cai Songpo say this, Jiang Zhongzheng immediately retorted, but was glared hard by Li Ningyu's eyes.
With one glance, Jiang Zhongzheng immediately swallowed the rest of his words. However, Jiang Zhongzheng, who lowered his head slightly, cursed Cai Songpo, who was not much older than him, in his heart.
"The British Empire currently has about 300,000 troops deployed in the Middle East, and the navy also has a Mediterranean squadron. However, the numbers are average, but from a strategic perspective, once the UK fully participates in the unification war in Saudi Arabia, it will definitely be
A strength that cannot be underestimated. After all, there are British garrisons around the entire Saudi Arabian region. Among them, Mecca and Medina in the Kingdom of Hijaz are on the Red Sea, and the British can open a breakthrough here at any time!"
When Cai Songpo said this, he paused involuntarily and turned to look at Li Ningyu. He didn't know what it meant, but during the pause of more than ten seconds, Li Ningyu did not make any movements or words, and seemed to be waiting for Cai Songpo to continue.
Go down.
"Then, let's all make a strategy demonstration game!" Cai Songpo's suggestion made Li Ningyu stunned, but then he nodded in relief and agreed.
According to Cai Songpo's request, a total of seven people were selected to participate in his strategy demonstration game. Cai Songpo himself represented the Far East Group, Kong Xiaoping represented the Hanzhi Kingdom, Zheng Long represented the Najd Kingdom, Xiao Yu represented the Ottoman Empire, Zhang Dong represented the United Kingdom, and Chiang Zhongzheng
Representing the Sid family, Li Ningyu serves as the general referee.
After everyone sat in different positions according to their respective camps, Cai Songpo began to say: "Okay, let's take the first step! According to the current analysis of the Far East Intelligence Group, if the Hanzhi Kingdom and the Nejd Kingdom fight, then the Hanzhi Kingdom will
Hanzhi is obviously unable to withstand the attack of Najd, so if there is no help from the Far East, how will Hanzhi choose?".
