    The Middle East is a Eurocentric term that refers to the region east of Europe and between the Far East and the Near East.  Specifically, it refers to the eastern and southern Mediterranean areas, from the eastern Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf.  Geographically, the Middle East covers almost the entire West Asia region, including parts of North Africa, and is also the subregion of Africa and Eurasia.  The most important areas in the Middle East are the Arabian Peninsula and the coast of the Persian Gulf.  Since ancient times, this place has been an important transportation thoroughfare and a battleground for military strategists.  After the discovery of oil, it became the center of world energy.

    More than a thousand years ago, the ancestors of the Arabs established a powerful Arab Empire on the Arabian Peninsula, a powerful empire spanning the three major states of Asia, Europe and Africa.  But later, the caliphate lost power, and during the Mongols' western expedition, the Arab Empire was destroyed.  Later, the Ottoman Turkish Empire established by the Ottomans became the king of this land.

    After entering modern times, Western colonial countries began to expand.  The Arabian Peninsula and the Persian Gulf coastal areas have also become the focus of competition among colonialist countries.  The aging Ottoman Turkish Empire could only shrink to the Asia Minor Peninsula in the north.  This region of the Arabian Peninsula has become the focus of competition between Britain and France.  The largest country on the Arabian Peninsula, the Kingdom of Najd, was a French colony.

    The ancestors of the Saud family once ruled the Kingdom of Najd.  However, in the war between the Saud family and the Rashid family eleven years ago, the Saud family was defeated and the entire built-in royal palace was on the verge of collapse. The Rashid family officially ruled the Kingdom of Najd.  However, the members of the Saudi family have never given up resistance, Abdul?  Rahman and Abdul?  The Aziz father and son are important leaders.  They are actively building their own power in the desert of the Kingdom of Najd and in Kuwait, in an attempt to defeat the Rashid family and regain the leadership of the Kingdom of Najd.  However, the Rashid family is supported by French colonists, and it is very difficult for the Saudi family to regain the Kingdom of Najd.

    Fortunately, perhaps with the blessing of God, last year, the Saudi family had some unknown luck and was taken seriously by the rising powerful empire in the east.  For a time, the Saudi family received strong support from China, and a large amount of funds and weapons flowed into the hands of Abdul and his sons through various secret channels. They can use this money and weapons to build a more powerful army.  To regain leadership of the Kingdom of Najd.  What they paid was just the right to use the desert near the Persian Gulf.  Although some people don't understand why China would offer such good conditions to the Saudi family, the Saudi family also knows that this is their only chance.  Therefore, they attribute all this to the blessing of Allah!

    In the Middle East in June, the climate is hot and the sky is full of wind and sand.  Except for the Arabs who have lived here all year round and are accustomed to this climate, almost everyone else is unwilling to leave the house.  The Arabs, wearing white gauze and white headscarves, are accustomed to this kind of climate.

    There is a small oasis in the desert near Kuwait in the Kingdom of Najd.  There is a huge spring here, and the spring water flowing out every day irrigates the nearby land, forming an oasis with a radius of several kilometers.  Here is one of the secret bases established by the Saudi family in the desert.  Here, the Saud family formed an elite army of three thousand people.

    In a tent in the center of the oasis, Abdul?  Rahman and Abdul?  Aziz and his son are praying, praying to God to bless the Saudi family and the success of their restoration.  After a while, the father and son finished the worship, and the pious look on their faces slowly dissipated.

    "Aziz, what do the Chinese say? Abdul?"  Rahman asked.  After a year of development, the Saudi family has regained its strength.  Abdul?  Rahman believed that now was the time to attack the Rashid family and take back the kingdom of Najd.  However, they are where they are today only with the help of the Chinese, so they must obtain China's consent.

    "Father, Colonel Liu Yun said yesterday that he will give us an answer in the next two days. Last month, the Chinese emperor married the seventh princess of the Kingdom of Bavaria, Germany. The Chinese are busy with that!" Abdul?  Aziz said.

    "The Emperor of China is marrying the Princess of Bavaria, Germany. If we didn't have the conditions, we should also participate! The Chinese have given us so much support and they are the benefactors of our Saudi family!" Abdul?  Rahman said.

    "Yes, father. Although I know that the Chinese will not help us unconditionally, their request is indeed very surprising!" Abdul?  Aziz still hasn't figured out why China would offer such generous terms for a concession that is nothing more than a desert and yet be willing to spend a huge price of 100 million Chinese dollars every year.  Is it possible that there is gold buried under that desert?  However, even if the gold is really buriedSon, Abdul?  Aziz was also satisfied.  The annual rent of 100 million yuan is enough for the Saudi family to live a good life, and it can even develop the Kingdom of Najd better.

    "Aziz, please remember. We have signed a treaty with China, and that land has been leased to the Chinese. No matter how valuable the things buried underneath are, they no longer belong to us. We have already obtained from the Chinese,  We got what we wanted. If we are greedy, God will bring disaster!" Abdul?  Rahman reminded.  If the Saudi family can successfully restore the country, it will entirely depend on China's help.  And with China's strength, if the Saudi family dares to go back on their word, it will be easy to destroy the Saudi family!

    "Yes, father, I remember!" Abdul?  Aziz nodded.  He has been living in exile with his father since he was a child, and he suffered a lot during this period.  He knows that in order to protect wealth, he must have strong strength.  Otherwise, you will only push yourself into a dead end.  However, he is still very interested in what is buried under the desert along the Persian Gulf.

    At this moment, the door of the tent was opened, and a young Eastern man in a light-colored short-sleeved military uniform walked into the tent.  He is Liu Yun, a colonel of the Chinese Army. He came to the Arabian Peninsula last year with hundreds of elite officers and soldiers to train troops for the Saudi family.

    "Sir Liu, welcome!" Abdul and his son stood up quickly.

    "Haha, you two don't need to be polite. I have good news for you. Instructions have been sent from the country and you can take action. Our Indian Ocean Fleet has sent warships into the Arabian Sea. If necessary, we can provide support to you.  !" Colonel Liu Yun said.  There is no doubt that coming to the Arabian Peninsula is a chore.  However, he knew that if he succeeded, after returning to China, his military rank would be promoted to another level and he would become a brigadier general in the army.

    "Great, Chief Liu, we can't wait any longer. I immediately ordered an attack on the Rashid family!" Abdul?  Aziz said excitedly.  He is only twenty-five years old and has a rather impatient personality. After observing the troops trained by the Chinese military officers for the Saudi family, he has great confidence in them and is very sure that they can defeat the Rashid family.

    Colonel Liu Yun nodded, and then said: "You can do it at any time. However, I still suggest that you make preparations in the past few days. After all, the Rashid family has a lot of regular troops, a total of 50,000, which are ours."  More than twice as much. It¡¯s just that their equipment is rubbish!¡±

    "Chief Liu has considered it carefully. Then, our attack will be placed in three days. After three days, we will launch an attack just like Riyadh!" Abdul?  Rahman said.

    Three days later, on June 14, the leader of the Saudi family, Abdul?  Rahman and Abdul?  Aziz and his son, leading 20,000 troops loyal to the Saudi family, launched an attack on Riyadh from the deserts of Kuwait and the Kingdom of Najd.  After a week of long march, they arrived in Riyadh.  At this time, the Rashid family, which ruled the Kingdom of Najd, was ready.  They have assembled more than 20,000 troops in Riyadh.  A war began around Riyadh.

    The Rashid family was originally the royal family of the Hail Emirate. With the support of France, they defeated the Saud family and ruled the Kingdom of Najd.  During this period, they launched a brutal pursuit and persecution of the Saudi family.  However, the Saud family has never been able to be eliminated.  Later, as time passed, the Rashid family gradually stabilized their rule, and they no longer paid attention to the Saudi family.  With 50,000 regular troops, the Rashid family has become the most powerful military force in the entire Arabian Peninsula, except for the British and French colonists.

    ¡°However, the Rashid family made a miscalculation after all this time.  After receiving help from China, the combat power of the Saudi family's army is simply not comparable to that of the Rashid family.  Artillery, heavy machine guns and advanced rifles faced off against the Rashid family's army consisting of a small number of rifles and sabers. This was a massacre.  In just two days, the Saudi army invaded Riyadh and recaptured the capital of the Kingdom of Najd.  The Rashid family lost more than half, and only a few people fled Riyadh.  Naturally, Chinese officials look down upon the performance of the Saudi army.  Fortunately, it was barely enough to deal with the Rashid family's army and even the colonial armies of Britain and France.

    After the Saudi family took over Riyadh, they immediately announced the establishment of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and Abdul?  Rahman also officially became the first king of the Saudi royal palace.  (To be continued.
