In fact, since the Indian Christians were incorporated into the Great Persian Kingdom, the territory of the Persian Kingdom has gradually increased, and the population has gradually increased. With the prosperity of the petrochemical industry in the country, the momentum of the kingdom has gradually become more and more prosperous in the past two years. Although the various factions are fighting endlessly, they all have a unified voice, which is to overthrow the Turkish Empire, revive Turkish civilization, and rebuild the Great Persian Empire.
As the king, although Muhammad Shah has been using these religious and nationalists to develop the domestic economy and strengthen his dominance, he has never dared to take the initiative to cater to these calls. Because he knows what kind of danger is hidden behind this!
The Chinese Imperial Army, which is very close at hand, is always monitoring the movements of the Kingdom of Persia. If the Kingdom of Persia dares to reveal a little bit about this tendency, I am afraid that disaster will be imminent in an instant. The strategic position of the Persian Gulf today is so important to the empire. Even if North America is pushed back again and Australia does not want it, the empire will not let the Persian Gulf fall into the hands of Europeans. It is even less likely to be allowed to become independent.
At this moment, only under the wings of the Chinese Empire can the Kingdom of Persia gain time to develop stably and have the possibility of survival. Coming from that puppet-like era, Muhammad Shah was extremely disgusted with any attempt to change the current state of the kingdom. At the very least, Persia still had a certain amount of room for survival.
But just because he doesn¡¯t want to change doesn¡¯t mean that others don¡¯t want to change.
In the Arab world, the trend stirred up by the Europeans became more and more popular. Soon after, the Ben Saud family on the peninsula expanded to the southeast of the peninsula with the support of the Allied Suez Army. They quickly unified the peninsula and announced A state was established, named the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
At the same time, the British expeditionary fleet in the Arabian Sea suddenly rushed into the Persian Gulf. After the air attack by the aircraft carrier formation, the Marine Corps took advantage of the opportunity to land ashore. Under the banner of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, it occupied Ras Al Khaimah, a strategic location at the exit of the Persian Gulf, and anchored in a nearby port - Dubai!
The plan of the British expeditionary fleet is to use the geographical location of Ras Al Khaimah on the Arabian Peninsula to block the exit of the Persian Gulf. This move is indeed vicious.
As the rear area of ??the Viceroyalty of West Asia, the Persian Empire has been responsible for the logistical services of food, vegetables, oil, and machinery maintenance for the Viceroyalty of West Asia. It can be said that there is no industry or logistics in the entire West Asian Viceroyalty, and everything is transported from the rear.
Especially oil, although there are rich oil wells near Kuwait. But here is located on the front line, and the empire has never planned to develop a large amount of oil here. Therefore, the oil in the West Asian Viceroyalty has always been supplied by the petrochemical industry of the Kingdom of Persia. This is the lifeblood of hundreds of thousands of mobile troops in the West Asian Viceroyalty. If Persia emerges If there is chaos, it will be impossible to maintain the enclave of West Asia.
The Arabian Peninsula and Persia face each other across the sea. Now the British Empire Expeditionary Fleet, including an aircraft carrier formation, has arrived. After occupying strategic locations on the peninsula in the name of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Suez Corps of the Allied Powers has been building airports on them day and night.
All of this is obviously an attempt to use the peninsula as a springboard to attack the rear of the Persian Kingdom, the Viceroyalty of West Asia. If the rear is unstable, how can the front be smooth? This joint attack by the Allied Powers and the Entente Power suddenly identified the weakness of the war situation in West Asia, which can be described as extremely sharp.
?????????????? And this trend has aroused the antipathy of various Arab ethnic groups towards the Chinese Empire. Although the Kingdom of Persia is the suzerain status of the Arab world. But on the other hand, it is a vassal state of the Chinese Empire. This is indeed unacceptable to the Muslims on the peninsula from both a national and religious perspective.
This greatly affected the orthodox status of the king of the Kingdom of Persia, and also caused some undercurrents in the originally stable situation in the kingdom. Especially a few days later, the arrest of the young prince Abdul, one of the heirs of the empire and more inclined to this side, made the politics of the Persian Kingdom even more chaotic.
And the strategic significance of occupying the Persian Gulf goes beyond the immediate point. In recent years, with the development of some oil fields in the Kingdom of Persia and the Arabian Peninsula. The oil mining and petrochemical enterprises in the Persian Gulf are booming, and there is an initial trend of surpassing Borneo, the major oil mining province in the empire's Southeast Asia. In 1918, 10% of the oil shipped from the Persian Gulf outlet to the mainland of the empire through the Indian Ocean and the Strait of Malacca Nearly half of the empire's mining volume.
Of course, there is also production from oil fields in the former Russia such as Tyumen and Baku further north. Out to sea via Bandar Abbas in the Persian Gulf. But this has shown that the Persian Gulf has become a major lifeblood of the empire's oil industry. In this era where the degree of mechanization determines the military combat effectiveness of the army to a certain extent, oil is the blood of the empire's industry and army. If the Persian Gulf is blocked for a long time, then the empireThe industrial potential and military sustained combat capability will be greatly affected.
This move. It can be said that the two major European groups joined forces to launch a desperate attack. No wonder the British even sent their most precious aircraft carrier formation into the Indian Ocean region where the Imperial Navy had the upper hand.
In the blink of an eye, this series of events in the Arab region immediately attracted the attention of the world. All the countries and regions that were fighting fiercely focused their attention on this small place!
If the Europeans succeed and defeat the Chinese, the white world will probably immediately gain momentum! Although it is not certain that the Entente and the Confederates will give up without fighting and work together to re-establish the white world hegemony. However, the Chinese Empire, which has been going smoothly for these years, has been thwarted. It is inevitable that its power will be greatly reduced in a short period of time. Even if the Westerners really take Persia, they can even take a new look at Central Asia and India and oppress the Caucasus. military presence is very possible.
If the Chinese can successfully survive this wave, as long as they maintain the sphere of influence in West Asia and Persia, there is no doubt that it will be victory. The military potential of the Allied Powers and the Central Powers has been exhausted in so many years of brutal fighting. In a short period of time, It is no longer possible to organize an attack of the same scale within the country, and it will inevitably shift to a military defense state. Then the empire's offensive in Australia and North America can proceed smoothly. In the future, it will definitely be a situation where the white civilization in Europe will be suppressed with the force of the general trend!
Europeans at that time really had very little chance.
Therefore, it is said that at this time, this war has truly entered its most advanced stage. The Europeans have tried their best to create the best fighter aircraft!
¡°The black people in Oceania, North and South America, and even Africa who suffered all kinds of hardships in the European battlefields, and many ethnic groups were implicated or even exterminated in the flames of war, have turned their eyes to West Asia.
This war is not only related to the Three Kingdoms War between the Allied Powers, the Entente Powers, and the Chinese Federation, but also related to the fate of the entire earth in the future!
¡¡
Under such circumstances, on March 20, His Majesty the Emperor led the imperial staff team to secretly arrive in Sri Lanka, where the Indian Ocean Theater Command is located.
"How's it going? I think this time the Europeans have finally come to their senses and set up a big chess game for us! This time the clever brains of the German General Staff finally stopped using the trick of attacking by force and used A little bit of strategy! This can be regarded as a little bit of progress made by maintaining military exchanges with us in those years - they finally know what strategy is!" His Majesty the Emperor seemed not surprised by the situation in front of him. , the eyebrows are filled with a prophetic sense of superiority.
Guo Jia agreed with this. Apparently he also believed that the Europeans were indeed somewhat good at military strategy.
"Haha, this time it has posed a problem for our King Muhammad Shah. The feud between brothers is unbearable for every father to see! Especially when he made a mistake In fact, my son didn¡¯t actually make any mistakes, he was just a little reckless!¡±
"Humph! Reckless!" Li Zhe disagreed with this.
"Ordinary people may be reckless, thinking that what they do will not affect other people, or even if it does, it will not have any big consequences. But as a prince, in a country with tens of millions of people, Prince, if you are reckless, you will completely harm others and yourself. If you are not careful, you will trap the country.
However, fortunately this time, Muhammad Shah was still calm. Even if the empire's intelligence department did not intervene, he understood the matter. However, the turmoil caused by this matter still needs to be resolved by himself. I hope he will not let me down. ! "
Li Zhe¡¯s expression when he said these words was very calm, just like when he usually spoke, there was no floating emotion. But everyone listening around heard a lot from it.
Obviously, the empire is watching the affairs of the Kingdom of Persia with a cold eye this time, but it does not mean that it will do nothing. If Muhammad Shah hesitates a little this time, he may face a thunderbolt blow from the empire. A change of dynasty in the kingdom may be just around the corner. The eldest prince of the Kingdom of Persia has been studying at the Imperial Nanjing National Defense University. He is the legitimate heir prepared by the Empire for the Kingdom of Persia and is ready to take over the throne at any time. Those potential forces that the empire has been operating in the Persian Kingdom for a long time are not just freeloaders.
But now, Muhammad is indeed a smart man. He was smart enough to join the empire at that time, and he chose the right time to avoid the destruction of the Persian Kingdom. But now at this juncture, he is also smart enough to let the kingdom of Persia be destroyed. None of the methods secretly prepared by the empire were given a chance to be used.
and such cleverness?Li Zhe is quite satisfied with dealing with him.
Now, the war situation has progressed to a critical point. The two major Western forces have joined forces and frequently used unique tricks to create an excellent situation for them. Now, it depends on how the empire takes action to break the situation. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
