    "Your Majesty, there is news from the Middle East. Prince Jaber of Kuwait has signed a treaty with us. As long as we support him to become the Emir of Kuwait, we will be able to obtain the right to exploit oil in Kuwait at a price of one million Chinese dollars per year.  !" General Wei Zhiyong, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, reported to Wang Yuze.

    "One million yuan is really cheap!" Wang Yuze laughed.  The Great Burgan Oil Field in southern Kuwait has reserves of nearly 10 billion tons.  The price of one million Chinese dollars per year is no different from picking it up for free!

    "Your Majesty, does Kuwait also have oil?" Chief of General Staff Xiong Wu asked.  If not, then this million would have been wasted!

    "We discovered oil in the Al-Hasa area. The geographical structure of Kuwait is almost the same as the Al-Hasa area. If the entire Persian Gulf is compared to a pot, Kuwait is the bottom of the pot. Therefore, I believe that Kuwait must contain huge reserves.  Amount of oil!" Wang Yuze said with great certainty.  You know, Kuwait in later generations was extremely rich.  And these are all brought by oil.

    "If that's the case, that would be great!" Xiong Wu nodded.  He did not doubt Wang Yuze's judgment, even though Wang Yuze did not provide any factual basis.  But over the years, Wang Yuze's actions have undoubtedly proven his foresight, which made the empire's important ministers go from being surprised at the beginning to becoming numb later on.

    "Kuwait's operation should start as soon as possible to avoid long nights and long dreams." Wang Yuze instructed.  Now is the time to take this opportunity to expand China's influence in the Middle East. If we can seize as many benefits as possible from the British, we must not be soft-hearted.

    "Yes, Your Majesty! The British only have one regiment in Kuwait, with less than 2,000 people. The 9th Marine Division will dispatch a regiment of troops to disarm the British army, and then help Prince Jaber ascend to the throne!" Xiong  Wu said.  Both the Kingdom of Kuwait and the British troops stationed in Kuwait are too weak. In the face of absolute superior strength, they have no strength to resist.

    "Then just follow the plan! Also, how is the infiltration into the Kingdom of Persia going?" Wang Yuze asked.  Persia, also known as Iran, is also an extremely important country in the Middle East.  Now that China has occupied Central Asia, if it wants to go south to the Persian Gulf, it must first cross the obstacle of Persia.

    The geographical location of Persia is extremely important, and both Britain and Russia have launched fierce battles here.  However, the final result was that Britain obtained southern Persia and Russia obtained northern Persia.  The central region of Persia continued to be controlled by Persia.  The current ruler of Persia is the Qajar dynasty, and the current king is Muzaffar al-Din?  Sha, a fatuous and incompetent monarch.  After China defeated Russia, the Persians took the opportunity to go north and reclaim the land occupied by Russia.  And, faced with the threat from China, Muzaffar al-Din?  The Shah chose to befriend Britain and rely on British power to resist China.  Although this ensured Persia's independent status, the power of Persia was also gradually controlled by the British.  The British army stationed more than 20,000 troops in Persia.  Even Tehran, the capital of Persia, has a regiment of British troops stationed.  The Persian Kingdom's own army only numbered 50,000 people.  It can be said that the entire Persian Kingdom has almost become a British colony.

    "Your Majesty, Muzaffar al-Din Shah's rule in Persia was not popular among the people. However, almost all the resistance forces in Persia were wiped out by him. Our penetration in Persia did not achieve the expected results. Unless we use force  Directly invade Persia, otherwise, it will be difficult to overturn the Qajar dynasty's rule in Persia.

    "Use force?" Wang Yuze frowned.  In the Middle East, Wang Yuze is very reluctant to use force against those people.  It's not that I'm afraid of them, it's just that I don't want to provoke a group of lunatics.  He does not want China to face attacks such as bombings and assassinations every day in the future.  If possible, it would be best to find an agent to subvert the current regime and then establish a pro-China regime to ensure China's interests there.

    "Your Majesty, the Fifth Army is ready for battle. As long as the two divisions move south, they will be able to deal with the Persians and the British troops stationed there!" Army Minister Cai Yun replied.  The Fifth Army's defense area covers the entire Central Asia region. Although the main enemy of the defense is the Russians, there is no problem at all in sending two divisions south to strengthen China's strength in the Persian Gulf region.  The Russians are now recuperating, and given their courage, they would not dare to provoke China at this time.

    "For now, let's not consider using force directly. Director Wei, try to find a suitable agent within the Persian royal family! I don't believe that the Persian royal family is monolithic. Muzaffar al-Din Shah's brothers, sons, etc., as long as they  If they are willing to cooperate with us, we can help them.?!  "Wang Yuze said.

    "Yes, Your Majesty, the Military Intelligence Bureau will continue to work hard!" General Wei Zhiyong said quickly.

    The Persian Gulf is one of the busiest gulfs in the world.  At the beginning of the twentieth century, it seemed very deserted.  Except for a very small number of merchant ships, only Arab fishing boats are active here.  However, everything changed after the Chinese army entered here three months ago.  The entire Persian Gulf has been blockaded by the Chinese navy.  Warships from any other country have been expelled here.  In particular, British and French warships and merchant ships disappeared without a trace in the Persian Gulf.

    On the evening of October 2, a fleet was sailing in the Persian Gulf. This fleet consisted of a huge heavy cruiser and four destroyers.  Behind these warships were twenty transport ships of various sizes.  These transport ships carry more than 4,000 soldiers from the 1st Regiment of the 9th Marine Division of the Chinese Marine Corps.  The fleet departed from Dammam and headed north along the Persian Gulf until it reached Kuwait City.  Because of the Chinese navy's blockade of the Persian Gulf these days, except for some fishing boats, there are almost no other ships in the entire Persian Gulf.  When the fleet is in action, there is no need to worry about leaks.  Their mission is to disarm the British army in Kuwait and help Prince Jaber ascend to the throne of Kuwait.

    On the heavy cruiser Guangzhou, Major General Jing Yuanhang, commander of the 9th Marine Division, and Brigadier General Liu Yun of the Army were studying the map of Kuwait City.  The British army's defensive posture in Kuwait City has been marked on the map.

    "Commander Jing, according to accurate information, the British troops in Kuwait are the 3rd Regiment of the 25th Division of the British Army. The main force of the division is stationed in Persia. This regiment fell into Kuwait last month. Commander  His name is Thomas, a British Army colonel. The regiment has more than 1,800 people and owns 12 cannons and 6 heavy machine guns. Half of them are stationed in the military camp east of Kuwait City!" Brigadier General Liu Yun analyzed.  road.  Before starting the operation, the Military Intelligence Bureau already had information about the entire Kuwait City.

    "Then, we will launch a direct attack on the British military camp when the time comes. The navy's naval guns will launch a devastating blow to the British military camp, and then the 1st Regiment will land to deal with the remaining British troops!" Jing, commander of the 9th Marine Division  Major General Yuanhang said.  In his opinion, this battle was effortless!

    "Well! There is no problem at all. When the time comes, our people will provide guidance for the naval guns." Brigadier General Liu Yun said.  In three hours, the fleet will arrive in Kuwait City. By then, it will be 3 o'clock in the morning.  The British army was asleep and had no time to react.

    At the same time, in Kuwait City, under the cover of darkness, some people were sneaking along the streets towards the Kuwait Palace.  The royal palace in Kuwait is just a small palace covering an area of ??more than ten acres. The Kuwaiti royal family lives here.  The palace has a guard of more than 20 people. This is the only force controlled by the Kuwaiti royal family except the Kuwaiti police.

    At two o'clock in the morning, the originally closed gate of the palace was opened, and the figure of Prince Jaber appeared outside the gate.  Soon, a group of Arabs in white robes mixed in. During this period, the palace guards did not issue any warning.

    A few minutes later, there was a noise in the Kuwait Palace, but it subsided in less than ten minutes.

    In the main hall of the royal palace, Kuwait Emir Mubarak?  Sabah was staring angrily at his son Jaber, his eyes full of anger and sadness.

    "Jaber, why is this? Why do you do this? Do you do this to your father?" Mubarak?  Sabah Emir asked angrily.

    "Father, I can't just watch you lead Kuwait into destruction!" Prince Jaber said.

    "Excuses, these are all excuses." Mubarak?  roared the Emir of Sabah.

    "Father, the Middle East already belongs to the Chinese, and you still want to rely on the British, which will bring disaster to Kuwait! If Kuwait wants to continue to exist, it can only rely on the Chinese. Therefore, father, you have  No longer fit to lead Kuwait, it is time to pass the throne to me!" Prince Jaber said.

    "You want to usurp the throne? God will not forgive you! Those British troops stationed in Kuwait will not let you go either!" Mubarak?  roared the Emir of Sabah.

    "The British? They can't even protect themselves!" Prince Jaber said with a smile.

    As if to confirm his words, a huge explosion suddenly came.  Suddenly, the expressions of other royal members in the Kuwait Palace suddenly changed!  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
