    "Requesting China to station troops?" Abdul Rahman and Abdul Aziz both hesitated.  The Arabs also know the truth that "it is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away".  China's current strength is much stronger than France's.  Once China stationed troops in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia may have to obey China's orders in the future.

    "Your Majesty the King, I know what you are worried about. However, I can assure you that our troops stationed in Saudi Arabia will not leave our leased land without the permission of the Saudi royal family. Of course, if the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia encounters trouble,  You can ask us for help. But at the same time, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia must protect our interests in Saudi Arabia!" Colonel Liu Yun said.

    Abdul Rahman and Abdul Aziz both nodded. If the Chinese can really do what they say, this will be a great thing for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.  With China's guarantee, Saudi Arabia does not need to fear the French and British. Moreover, China will not interfere in the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This is undoubtedly excellent news for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

    "Mr. Liu, thank you very much and thank China for its help to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Please believe that we, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, will definitely concession the land China needs to China in accordance with the previous treaty. Tomorrow morning, I will formally inform China  We extend an invitation and hope that China can station troops in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia!" Abdul Rahman said.  Since it is inevitable for China to station troops in Saudi Arabia, why not just go with the flow?  Besides, Saudi Arabia still needs to rely on China in many places.  In addition, the annual rent of 100 million yuan proposed by China is enough to make the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia jealous.  Today, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is extremely poor and has only 100 million yuan, which is almost more than ten times the annual fiscal revenue of the Kingdom.  The Saudi family can use this money to build the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia better and improve the people's living standards.  By then, the Saudi family's ruling foundation will be more stable.  This is already a great thing for the Saudi family.

    "Okay, His Majesty the King, then I wish us a happy cooperation!" Colonel Liu Yun said with a smile.  To be honest, he is also very sad about the annual rent of 100 million yuan. This money is almost equivalent to half of the military allocated by the Ministry of Finance to the Imperial Army every year.  However, this was a decision made by His Majesty the Emperor, and he could not argue with it.  He didn't know why His Majesty the Emperor valued that barren land so much. Was there really gold buried under those deserts?  However, these are obviously not issues that he should worry about. As a soldier, he only needs to execute orders.  The order they bear is to help the Saudi family establish a Saudi kingdom, and then tie the Saudi kingdom to China's chariot.  In fact, although China has spent a lot of money, it may not be able to see the benefits at the beginning, but in a few years, China will be able to earn back all these costs with profits.  Besides, after Saudi Arabia gets rent from China, doesn¡¯t it have to spend most of it in China?  Saudi Arabia¡¯s current industrial base is basically zero!

    The next day, King Abdulrahman of Saudi Arabia convened the ministers who had just been appointed yesterday and officially announced to everyone that in order to eliminate the Rashid family and unify the entire Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Prince Abdulaziz  Hereby, I will lead an army of fifteen thousand to march towards Hail.  At the same time, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will recruit a large number of troops in Riyadh.  In addition, in order to protect the security of Saudi Arabia, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia formally requested China to establish diplomatic relations and requested China to station troops in the Kingdom to maintain the security and stability of the Kingdom.

    Although the ministers were surprised by these orders of King Abdul Rahman, no one objected.  Before yesterday, they were just the heads of some big families. They were appointed to important official positions by Abdul Rahman. It was only the Saudi family that needed their help.  Now the entire Riyadh is under the control of the Saudi family, and they cannot challenge the power of the Saudi family at all.  Besides, to these Arabs, there is no difference whether they are Chinese or French.  Anyway, they were exploited by the French in the past. At worst, they just have a different master now.  It would be great if this new master could be less greedy and cruel.

    Immediately afterwards, King Abdulrahman of Saudi Arabia formally signed a treaty with China on behalf of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.  The main content of the treaty is that the Chinese concession of land within 50 kilometers of the Persian Gulf coast of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will pay the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 100 million yuan per year, with a lease term of 99 years, and has priority to renew the contract.  Rent is negotiated every twenty years.  At the same time, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia must use at least 50% of the rent paid by China to purchase Chinese goods.  Finally, China will station one division in the leased area to protect China's interests.

    The signing of this treaty immediately made the ministers of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia rejoice.  One hundred million yuan a year, what a huge fortune that is!  In their view, that??The desert can be sold at such a price, it is really blessed by God!  As for what is there, that is no longer their concern.  The wealth you get is real.  Now, the Saudi family not only has guns, but also money, and also has the support of the Chinese.  Other big Arab families respect the Saudi family even more.

    After that, Saudi Prince Abdulaziz led his army to attack Hail.  Thanks to the efforts of various major families, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has begun to get on the right track.  The treaty signed between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and China was also sent to China.  At the same time, the General Staff issued an order for the 10th Marine Division waiting in Yangon to board the ship immediately and set off for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.  In addition, the Chinese Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet squadron, which has been cruising in the Arabian Sea for a long time, has also begun to move towards the Persian Gulf.  In order to seize the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, China has already begun to take action.

    On June 26, a group of cavalry, numbering around 30 people, protected several carriages and arrived in Riyadh covered in dust.  The uniforms of the cavalry were already stained with yellow sand. Even though they were all wrapped in turbans, their bodies were still covered with a thick layer of yellow sand.

    "This is the weather, the damn desert!" A middle-aged European man with a fat head got out of the carriage.  He was about forty years old, and his face was covered with oil and sweat, perhaps because the weather was too hot.  This middle-aged man is Brigitte, the French envoy to the Kingdom of Nejd.  He had just arrived from Hail to show France's wrath to the House of Saud.  The entire Najd Kingdom is a French colony, and the Rashid family of the Hail Emirate is an agent of France.  Now the Saudi family has actually taken back Riyadh and established the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This is simply harming the interests of France.

    Outside the city of Riyadh, the French envoy Brigitte was intercepted by the army of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Now the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Rashid family are at war. In order to protect the security of Riyadh, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has deployed thousands of troops around Riyadh. Riyadh's  Defense is the top priority.

    "Damn it, I am the French envoy to the Kingdom of Nejd, get out of my way!" Brigitte roared loudly.  If it weren't for these damn infidels making trouble, in such weather, he would be enjoying the service of beautiful Arab girls in the cold springs of Hail, where would he be like now, eating a stomach full of sand?  Came a long way.

    Some of the Saudi soldiers guarding the road looked at each other, and they were still a little afraid of the French.

    However, they still stopped Brigitte and his party and asked them to wait for a while, while they immediately sent someone to report to the king.

    Saudi King Abdul Rahman is busy dealing with the government.  The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia had just been established and was still at war, so everything was in ruins.  The supplies promised by China are still on their way. Only when those supplies arrive will the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia be able to stabilize.

    At this time, the guards in the palace reported that the French envoy had arrived, which shocked Abdul Rahman.

    "Invite the French envoy to come to the palace. Also, go and invite Chief Liu here immediately!" Abdul Rahman said.  Now, he can only rely on China's power to compete with France.

    Half an hour later, French envoy Brigitte arrived at the Riyadh Palace.  However, the French cavalry who escorted him were taken to the military camp, and only the entourage from the two countries came to the palace with him.  But Brigitte was not afraid. France's national power was there, and he didn't believe that these Arab pagans would dare to do anything to him?

    "Abdur Rahman, what are you, the Saudi family, trying to do? Don't you know that the Rashid family rules the Kingdom of Najd with the consent of France? You, the Saudi family, are trying to fight against us, France.  Enemy?" As soon as he saw Abdul Rahman, the French envoy Brigitte shouted loudly.

    The smile on Saudi King Abdul Rahman¡¯s face suddenly disappeared.  Originally, he did not want to antagonize France excessively, but Brigitte's attitude made him very dissatisfied.

    "Mr. Special Envoy, ten years ago, the Kingdom of Najd was ruled by our Saudi family. Now, our Saudi family is just taking back what belongs to us!" Abdul Rahman said sternly.

    "Assholes, who gave you the courage? You are challenging the great France!" Brigitte said angrily.

    "If I remember correctly, this is the Arabian Peninsula, a place that belongs to the Arabs, not France!" Suddenly, a voice appeared, and then, an Oriental man walked into the hall.

    French special envoy Brigitte¡¯s pupils suddenly shrank, feeling that things were in trouble!  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
