Chapter 359: Countermeasures in the desert

Now that we have entered the early twentieth century, if the Far East Group cannot guarantee its supply of strategic resources in the future, its military development will inevitably be subject to certain restrictions, and it will also give its opponents a good opportunity.

Li Ningyu could still clearly see the positive and negative, and the two accounts. However, he made some slight changes in his plan to go deep into the Nejd area alone, because after a series of things happened, Li Ningyu had already discovered some of them.

The main problem, of course, is the Far East Group's new reconnaissance radar, which has played an indelible and important role.

According to the analysis of the combat staff in the command vehicle, the enemy's long-wave radio stations were used in large quantities after the battle began. In other words, the enemy is in contact with their own command system, so their commander must have a back-up. Normally

The situation, with at least a thousand troops, then everything seems to be different.

Originally, Li Ningyu came to Saudi Arabia this time mainly to deal with land enclosure matters. Therefore, the Far East Group currently has less than one division of marines in Saudi Arabia and a security regiment responsible for Li Ningyu's safety, totaling only 13,000.

Thousands of people.

The current situation seemed very strange, so Li Ningyu decided not to continue fighting alone. Before that, he also laid an ambush, which was to ask Bismarck to issue two solemn diplomatic statements.

So next, Li Ningyu personally drafted a telegram and asked the combat staff to send it directly to Li Xihua. The content of the telegram was very simple, with only fourteen large characters, and asked to quickly mobilize three field divisions to increase troops in Saudi Arabia.

As the saying goes, a good horse can be ridden by others, and a good man can be bullied by others.

This time, Li Ningyu just wanted to quietly obtain the oil exploration rights in Saudi Arabia through a combination of trade and diplomacy. But who would have thought that he would encounter so many troubles before he even started? If he didn't establish his authority, he would even go to Riyadh City.

, the Kingdom of Nejd may also underestimate the strength of the Far East.

But after all, increasing the number of troops was a big deal, and the troops were sent to other people's homes. In the end, Li Ningyu sent another telegram to Kong Xiaoping, asking him to inform King Dule Aziz of the Hanzhi about the situation.

As for whether Dule Azhi would agree or not, Li Ningyu was not interested, and Far East had no control over whether Dule Azhi was willing or not, but the superficial meaning of all this was to ensure Li Ningyu's safety.

When Duleazi heard Kong Xiaoping relay the matter, he directly expressed his disagreement at first and needed to discuss it with the ministers.

However, Kong Xiaoping did not mean to be wordy with him, and directly told Duleazi that if Li Ningyu had a major security problem in the Hijaz area, would the Hijaz Kingdom be able to withstand the war in the Far East?

Although this sentence was a bit threatening, what Kong Xiaoping said was true, so Duleazi finally chose to acquiesce. He thought to himself that Li Ningyu was about to arrive in the border city of Oshela, and by then all these people would be here.

Entering the Kingdom of Najd, it would not pose a threat to the Kingdom of Hejaz, but Duleazi still informed the Kingdom of Najd of the news in advance.

In fact, Hijaz and Najd are basically one country, but they have a special historical process. If they merge directly, it will lead to the invasion of surrounding forces, so the two countries choose to communicate secretly. This is why the Hijaz Kingdom only exists in the border city of Europe.

There are troops deployed in Shela, but there are no second-echelon troops deployed inland at all.

However, external agreement does not mean that there are no conflicts between Hijaz and Najd. Therefore, both sides are seeking the support of a third party. Hijaz is moving closer to the Far East, while Najd wants to attract other countries in the Arabian Peninsula to form a large military alliance. However,

This plan is obviously not in line with the current situation in Saudi Arabia, so progress is very slow.

The increase in troops in the Far East in Saudi Arabia did not spread immediately. It only spread within a small range, but it does not mean that no one knows about it. For example, the empire on which the sun never sets, the boss of the world, quickly received a dispatch to the Middle East.

, a message from the No. 7 Intelligence Station that performs intelligence missions.

According to the report of Intelligence Agent 007, the Far East Army will mobilize a total of 40,000 people, or 4 field divisions, from Somalia within three days to enter Saudi Arabia. After receiving this news, the British authorities were immediately shocked.

The new king, Edward VII, also frowned.

The British authorities are actually helpless about the growth of the Far East. From a certain perspective, the Far East Group is a huge military system that has grown highly dependent on its own capabilities. The British have suppressed the Far East and also attracted the Far East. These are just strategic needs.

.

But since the Eight-Nation Alliance incident was resolved, the defeat of France and Tsarist Russia, the two major allies, made the British understand one thing. The Far East is no longer a system that can be looked at casually. Even without strong military backing, the economic system and reputation of the Far East

, has built a complete economic system in controlled areas around the world, relying on a huge population base.

Therefore, after the war, the British authorities adopted two attitudes toward the Far East. One was to openly try to win over and form an alliance to prevent the Far East from establishing an offensive and defensive alliance with Germany against Britain, but secretly to help France restore its military strength.

The second is to secretly watch every move in the Far East, so the British authorities invested a lot of manpower and material resources after the war in an attempt to build an intelligence network to compete with the Far East Intelligence Group.

If we talk about the military system in the Far East, the reputation of the Army is no worse than that of the Navy, especially the Field Army, a Category A battle order, with a force of 40,000 people, that is, 4 field divisions. Its combat effectiveness can be said to directly control the Kingdom of Hijaz. Then

It's still very easy.

Therefore, the British authorities are very worried about what will happen next. However, if they directly issue a diplomatic announcement to intervene, it will definitely greatly affect the relationship between Britain and the Far East, because Li Ningyu was attacked in the area controlled by the Kingdom of Hijaz. This did happen, and according to intelligence

This matter is still going on, but no matter how it develops, it will definitely affect the control of the British authorities in Saudi Arabia.

In response to this, the British authorities quickly took measures, and a seemingly high-sounding diplomatic announcement was subsequently issued. Based on the attack on Li Ningyu, the British authorities felt it was necessary to provide help to the Far East, so they decided to send troops from the north and south of Saudi Arabia.

Both sides, namely Yemen and Iraq, each sent an army division to protect Li Ningyu's safety in Saudi Arabia.

However, it was immediately rejected by the Kingdoms of Hijaz and Najd, and said that if any force of the British authorities entered Saudi Arabia, it would be an invasion.
