    "Your Excellency Wu Tingfang, on behalf of the French Republic, I would like to express the most serious protest to your country. The Kingdom of Najd is a colony of France. China's support for the Saudi family to establish the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and subversion of French rule in the Kingdom of Najd has completely harmed France.  France has the right to take the next step, and all consequences will be borne by China!" French Ambassador to China Pierre accused China's atrocities in front of Chinese Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang with a stern voice.  However, Wu Tingfang performed very well in response to his roar, always smiling and seemed not to be affected at all.

    "Your Excellency, Ambassador, I am very sorry for what happened in the Middle East. However, our country believes that it is the Arabs' freedom to pursue freedom and independence. As the rulers of the Kingdom of Najd, the Saudi family is also qualified to do so. my country also has the power to provide help to the Saudi family. As for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia¡¯s resistance to French colonial rule, our country has no choice. Of course, the Middle East is a complete desert and has no value at all. France can completely withdraw from this region! "China Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang said with a smile.

    "Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, this is impossible, absolutely impossible! France will not give up its legitimate interests overseas!" Pierre, the French Ambassador to China, said rudely.  Perhaps, before this, all countries in the world would think that the Middle East is a barren land.  However, China is willing to spend such a high price for the Middle East, which shows that the Middle East must have huge interests that no one knows about.  It is simply impossible for France to let go at this time.

    "Your Excellency Ambassador, I can only say sorry. Just like France's attitude, we have signed a treaty with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and China will not renege on the treaty!" Wu Tingfang suppressed the smile on his face and said coldly  .  In this matter, although China's approach is somewhat unreasonable.  But for the sake of the national interest, everything is worth it.

    "Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, does China want a war? The French Republic will use all means, including war, for its own interests!" Pierre, the French ambassador to China, threatened.

    "War? No, China is a peace-loving country, and China does not want war to break out. However, China can also face all difficulties, including war, for the benefit of the country!" Wu Tingfang said firmly.  Facing France, China is not afraid at all.  Now the Indian Ocean has become a game between the Chinese Navy and the British Navy, and the Chinese Navy has the upper hand.  The Chinese Navy has never taken the French Navy's battleships seriously, even if they include their new battleships in service domestically.  As for the army, it is impossible for a large-scale war to break out in the deserts of the Middle East. China has sent a division of troops to Saudi Arabia, which is enough to solve all problems.  When necessary, the navy can even be dispatched to block the waterway to make France use the weapon as a deterrent.  Therefore, in this conflict, China is destined to have the upper hand.  And because of this, Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang behaved very toughly!

    "In this case, Your Excellency, Minister of Foreign Affairs, I will take my leave. However, I assure you that China will definitely pay the price for today's arrogance!" Pierre, the French Ambassador to China, after seeing China's tough attitude, also  Knowing that there would be no results if we continued talking, I had no choice but to leave with a harsh word.

    Wu Tingfang didn¡¯t take Pierre¡¯s threat seriously at all.  After sending Pierre away, he went straight to Xinhua Palace to meet the emperor Wang Yuze.  For the sake of the Middle East, or the oil under the Middle East, China took the initiative to confront France and even the entire Allied Powers.  Even China today has to be cautious.  Once a full-scale war breaks out, China will be unsustainable now.

    In Wang Yuze¡¯s study in Xinhua Palace, when Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang arrived, Wang Yuze was convening Chief of General Staff Xiong Wu, Minister of Army Cai Yun, and Minister of Navy Zhang Cheng to discuss the situation in the Middle East.

    "Your Majesty, the French Ambassador to China, Pierre, has just arrived. He expressed serious protest to the empire on behalf of France!" Wu Tingfang reported.

    "Ignore him, just think that the French fart!" Wang Yuze said nonchalantly.  France, which is obsessed with capital exports, has seen its national strength decline repeatedly. Although it is still one of the world's top powers, the threat it can pose to China is very limited.

    Wu Tingfang smiled and said nothing more. He thought so too.

    "Your Majesty, our Indian Ocean Fleet squadron has entered the Persian Gulf and docked in Dammam in the Al-Hasa region. We sold 30,000 rifles, 100 light machine guns and 50 heavyweights to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.  Machine guns and fifty infantry cannons have been handed over to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. These weapons are enough to arm the newly recruited troops of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia!" Chief of General Staff Xiong Wu reported.

      "Let the squadron be temporarily stationed in Dammam! In the future, there will be a base for our Indian Ocean Fleet. What is the situation in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia now? There are both the Rashid family's army and the French army.  What's going on?" Wang Yuze asked.  Although the Saudi family acquired Riyadh and established the Saudi Kingdom.  But most of the territory that originally belonged to the Kingdom of Najd is still under the rule of the Rashid family.  In addition, France's tens of thousands of troops stationed in the Middle East are also a problem.

    "The army led by Saudi Prince Abdul Aziz is marching towards Hail. It is expected that the war will break out in two to three days. Although the Rashid family has more troops, both in terms of equipment and combat power  , cannot compare with the Saudi army trained by us. It is expected that the final victory will definitely belong to the Saudi army. The French army is gathering, and there is no sign of attacking the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia yet!" Chief of General Staff  Xiong Wu said.

    "The French are waiting. They are waiting for an opportunity, or they want to determine what we have found in the Middle East. If the interests are attractive enough, the French will definitely get involved. The 10th Marine Division is there.  ?When can we enter the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia?" Wang Yuze asked.

    "Your Majesty, the 10th Marine Corps Division will arrive in the Persian Gulf in three days. With the combat power of the 10th Marine Corps Division, it is enough to easily defeat the French army!" Navy Minister Zhang Cheng replied.  After the war, all ten brigades of the Marine Corps were expanded into divisions. The total strength more than doubled, and they were well-equipped. They have become the vanguard of China's use of troops overseas.

    "Well! With the 10th Marine Division stationed in Saudi Arabia, neither the French nor the British can take away our interests. However, the army must also strengthen its penetration into the Middle East. Only by advancing sea routes can we ensure  The empire's interests in the Middle East will not be harmed!" Wang Yuze reminded.  The Army's Fifth Group Army is based in Xijiang Province.  To the south are Afghanistan, Persia and Iraq.  These areas are within the British sphere of influence, and China cannot let go of the oil contained therein.

    "Your Majesty, rest assured that the Fifth Army has already made relevant preparations. Our people are already actively contacting the Persian royal family and the Afghan royal family. They are also very interested in getting rid of British colonial rule!" Army Minister Cai Yun replied  road.  From the current point of view, large-scale wars will not break out for a long time to come.  But small-scale wars, such as wars to subvert the rule of a small country, will emerge in endlessly.

    "By the way, where are the oil exploration personnel we sent? When will they arrive? Whether they can find the oil field is very critical!" Wang Yuze said.  Oil is the blood of industry. Although this role has not yet been fully demonstrated, many countries have begun to pay attention to this.  Because of Wang Yuze's attention, China also attaches great importance to this energy source.

    "We have dispatched a group of top experts, and they will arrive in the Al-Hasa area with the 10th Marine Division. At that time, the Marine Corps will provide them with full help and protection. However, Your Majesty, we will open a  Isn¡¯t the condition too high! One hundred million yuan is equivalent to half of the military budget allocated by the government!¡± Chief of General Staff Xiong Wu felt a little sad when he thought of this condition.

    "Chief of the General Staff, this condition is not high. Moreover, if you don't want to give up your children, you can't trap the wolf. At the beginning, we may suffer a little loss, but in the long run, we can earn back dozens of times or even more profits!" Wang Yuze is extremely sure.  said.

    Wang Yuze remembers that in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Ghawar Oil Field in the eastern region of Riyadh is the world's largest oil field, with reserves exceeding tens of billions of tons.  However, it is buried relatively deep, and with current technology, it is still difficult to extract it.  But just occupy these areas first, and then slowly exploit them when the technical conditions are reached in the future.  In addition, the oil fields in Kuwait and Iraq can also be exploited with the current technical conditions.  Saudi Arabia's Abqaiq oil field also has reserves of more than 2 billion tons, which can be fully exploited with current technology.  China¡¯s primary target in the Persian Gulf region is this oil field.

    China¡¯s current car ownership has surpassed that of the United States, reaching 40,000, while the United States only has 23,000.  Of course, this is due to China's large-scale promotion of the use of cars in the military, especially the artillery units, which have begun to replace mules and horses with heavy-duty trucks. This has caused China's annual car ownership to increase exponentially, plus Shanghai  The military's warships also use oil-fired boilers instead of coal-fired boilers. China's oil usage is increasing every year. Although the current price of crude oil is not high, even so, China still needs to spend huge amounts of money on crude oil as soon as possible.  If there is oil from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, this money can be saved!  (To be continued.
