Chapter 370: The situation in Saudi Arabia is stormy
The purpose of Li Ningyu's temporary military meeting this time was mainly to improve morale. Although what will happen next is still unknown, he already has a strong hunch that this time it will not only be enough troops to solve the problem, so in
Before continuing on the expedition, deal with the morale issue first.
At the same time that Li Ningyu held this military meeting, the five reorganized field divisions from the Far East that landed at the Mecca seaport had already begun a large-scale motorized march. However, such a large number of Far Eastern warriors entered the city of Mecca.
Of course, there is no way to hide the truth from others.
After the Far East Group developed radio technology, countries around the world also began to develop and produce it, so it was widely used in the early 20th century. Intelligence news about the large number of field armies in the Far East entering Saudi Arabia also followed the wheat
Radios in the city are transmitted to intelligence organizations in various countries.
The first to respond was the Ottoman Empire. Although Hamid II was a bloody ruler, he still had his own merits. After the Hejaz Kingdom's cavalry rebellion was announced in the Far East, Hamid II
Immediately afterwards, the world announced that the Ottoman Empire's special guards who attacked the Far East Army were framed by King Duleazi of the Hijaz.
Hamid II had three purposes for doing this. The first was to pour all the dirty water directly on Al-Dulazi, which was also an indirect revenge for being repulsed by the Saudi coalition forces in the early stage; the second was to take advantage of the opportunity.
March into Saudi Arabia and prepare for troubled waters
Fish, the third is a secret matter that only Hamid II knows, and such a plan can be regarded as killing three birds with one stone, but Hamid II just wants to take the opportunity to encroach on part of Saudi Arabia's territory, because he knows that the tigers are watching.
There are also several other countries.
After receiving the large army of the Far East Army and having landed, they immediately ordered the three special guard armies of about 34,000 people assembled on the border of Medina to begin the invasion of the territory belonging to the Kingdom of Hijaz, and the Kingdom of Hijaz
The garrison then launched an anti-aggression war to defend the country.
The Ottoman Empire, located northwest of Saudi Arabia, has taken action. Naturally, the United Kingdom and the Austro-Hungarian Empire are not to be far behind. However, the Austro-Hungarian Empire's voice in the Middle East is obviously not on the same level as the United Kingdom, so it only sent an expeditionary army.
An artillery division has less than 15,000 men.
The world's first empire sent troops from three places. The British troops in Yemen moved from south to north to attack the city of Mecca. The British troops in Iraq moved from north to south in an attempt to enter the area controlled by the Kingdom of Najd.
A troop entered the Kingdom of Najd from Oman, but because the area was in a large desert, it was only a light cavalry with a small number and did not carry heavy weapons.
The situation is changing rapidly. After receiving the telegram from the border defenders, King Duleazi of Hejaz has one head and two heads, because both the British army and the Ottoman army are mainly invading the Kingdom of Hejaz. Although
Duleazi had been prepared for this before, but once the battle started, it was still a bit foolish for the Kingdom of Hijaz to resist the armies of the two countries.
So he hurriedly contacted King Dulead of Najd, hoping that the two sides would join forces to resist the foreign coalition forces, and at the same time report the situation to the Far East. But something he didn't expect happened. Kong Xiaoping, who saw the telegram, just shook his head and said
Duleazi said: "Originally, in the Hijaz Kingdom area, we still have some troops in the Far East that can help you, but now the main combat troops have already gone to the round place!".
These are nothing. Just after Dul'Aqi returned in disappointment, he received another telegram from King Dul'ad of Najd. The content was even more straightforward, with only eight short characters: hand over the treasure, otherwise
No need to talk.
For a moment, Duleazi felt exhausted and weak. At this time, the Kingdom of Hijaz was not only surrounded by enemies from both sides, but also had no chance of help. It could be said that it was in a desperate situation. However, the Kingdom of Hijaz was not a piece of paper. It still had at least more than 100,000 troops.
In addition to the arms that were previously traded with the Far East Group, it would not be defeated without a fight, so Duleazi decided to arrange it first.
However, he knew very well that without reinforcements and allies, the Kingdom of Hijaz would be defeated. Originally, Duleazi thought that the Kingdom of Najd would be like before. As long as an enemy invaded Saudi Arabia, the Kingdom of Hijaz and Najd would put aside their temporary barriers.
, launched a counterattack against the enemy together, but who would have thought that this time King Dula'ad of Najd actually fell into convulsions.
If it were a general request, Dul'Aqi would definitely agree first, but the request made by King Dul'ad of Najd was something that Dul'Aqi would never agree to, so the cooperation between Hejaz and Najd came to nothing.
, This made King Dul'Aqi of Hijaz even more anxious, but he didn't know that there was a black hand inciting Dul'Ad, and the original plan of the black hand was to trigger an internal war in Saudi Arabia. However, with the arrival of the Far East Army, things changed.
There has been a change.
The plan that had been brewing for a long time has also undergone many changes. If there is really a culprit for this matter, that person is the ambitious rebel Hamid II.
All this time, Hamid II has never forgotten Saudi Arabia, because it was once the territory of the Ottoman Empire. Therefore, after the independence of Saudi Arabia, Hamid II has always dreamed of killing back one day.
, so after the consolidation of his political power, Hamid II sent one of his personal guards to personally control an Ottoman Empire special guard force.
From the initial infiltration and lurking, to provoking the conflict between Hijaz and Nejd, everything was going according to plan. But who would have thought that after Li Ningyu from the Far East appeared in the Hijaz Kingdom, everything changed. Even
The bodyguards who were originally loyal to Hamid II also rebelled.
Because this matter was carried out in secret, Hamid II was almost the only one in the Ottoman Empire who knew about it. Hamid II was really gnashing his teeth in hatred for the sudden rebellion of this personal guard, but Hamid II
When the second thought of this personal guard, he had to give a thumbs up and praise him.
Because it was with the help of this humble guard that Hamid II could become a real rebel. But when he thinks of the secret passages over the years, the Ottoman Empire has provided this latent special guard force.
The value of a large amount of weapons and equipment, living supplies and money made Hamid II heartbroken. Therefore, the last purpose of the Ottoman Empire's dispatch of troops was to capture this personal guard of Hamid II.
But Hamid II would never have imagined that even he was involved in the plan made by that powerful personal guard, and that the Ottoman Empire would suffer heavy losses in this melee.
