Chapter 100 The Resurgence of the Arab Empire

In Ji Qing’s time and space, two major events occurred in 1932. One was the discovery of oil in Bahrain, and the other was the start of a year-long government negotiation with the Saudi government in Southern California.These two events can be said to have affected the development of the entire Arab world, and even the development of the world.

Subsequently, Standard Oil of California purchased the oil concession of Bahrain, which triggered a year of diplomatic negotiations between the United States and Britain.In the end, Standard Oil of California still got the concession of Bahrain, but the output here is limited.Subsequently, using Bahrain as a springboard, in 1933, Standard Oil Company of California signed a concession agreement with Saudi Arabia.

This move proved wise enough, as Saudi Arabia has the world's largest oil reserves.American companies have obtained nearly 1 square miles of leased land in Saudi Arabia, which is equivalent to 6/7025 of the land area of ​​the United States and accounts for 5025 of the land of Saudi Arabia.In the same year, the Anglo-Persian Company of the United Kingdom and the Gulf Company of the United States each held [-] shares, and won the joint development rights of Kuwait.Afterwards, more independent American oil companies entered the Middle East in various ways.

Ji Qing has been here since three years, how could he send out such a large piece of meat.The lurkers entered the Arab world, and Bahrain's oil was naturally not discovered, and the land was bought by the lurkers.Under this influence, the Americans naturally did not find traces of oil in Saudi Arabia.

In fact, before the King of Saudi Arabia was established, in 1923, he signed a concession agreement for oil exploration in Saudi Arabia with an agent of a European financial company, Major Holmes, a New Zealander, but the company could not find a partner because there was no one. European oil companies believe there will be oil underground in Saudi Arabia.Later, King Abdul Aziz negotiated with a British company to explore for oil, again to no avail.This time I missed the Americans again, so naturally it was a long wait.

During this period, the lurkers who entered the Arab world, relying on the British pound and US dollar bills in their hands, continued to buy land as much as they could, as local wealthy businessmen.Of course, in order not to attract attention, things were done very low-key, and those sellers who received money would not feel like they were getting rich.

However, this is not a solution, because this land is always watched by Western countries such as Britain, the United States, and France, and it will be a matter of time before oil is discovered.Although Ji Qing could interfere for a while, it was not a long-term solution after all.

Therefore, Ji Qing is waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to completely drive the Western countries out of the Arab world. While waiting, he is also deploying everything in the Arab world until that moment comes.This piece of fat is destined not to escape.

Soon after, the European War broke out, and soon, the flames of war ignited in Southeast Asia. Then, regime change events also occurred in Iran and Turkey.

The opportunity Ji Qing had been waiting for finally came.

Almost at the same time, the voice of re-establishing the Arab Empire was raised in various parts of the Arab world.Of course, this is not just a slogan, but also includes practical actions.

The location of the movement is now either a tribe, or a protectorate of a western country, or an independent country.

The first was Saudi Arabia, which was officially named the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in September 1932.Although Saudi Arabia is now an independent sovereign country, the country is very poor. It is far from the "oil kingdom" of Ji Qing's time and space, nor is it one of the countries with the largest oil reserves, production and sales in the world.

Even without Ji Qing's obstruction, Saudi Arabia would not have discovered a large amount of oil resources in the Dammam area of ​​Hasa until 1938.Ji Qing intervened, but he didn't want the United States to get such a big advantage.

The reason why Saudi Arabia participated in the action of restoring the glory of the Arab Empire this time was naturally that Ji Qing's lurkers were playing a role.At the same time, the King of Saudi Arabia is also unwilling to be lonely. As the largest country in the Arabian Peninsula, he has every reason to want to try what the future emperor of the empire will be like.

Second United Arab Emirates. After Britain invaded the Persian Gulf in 18 years, it forced the seven local emirates to sign a "permanent truce" with it, called "Trusil Oman", and gradually became a British protectorate.In Ji Qing's time and space, it was not until March 1971, 3 that Britain announced that the treaties signed with the emirates of the Persian Gulf would be terminated at the end of the year.On December 1 of the same year, the United Arab Emirates was proclaimed.

The current UAE is still a nomad of seven tribes, not a king, but a chief.Naturally, they would not be willing to become a British protectorate and be enslaved by Britain.Now, someone has funded and mobilized people in the Arab world to expel the power of Western countries and rebuild the great cause of the Arab Empire, and the various tribes naturally agreed.They thought that although they were inferior to Saudi Arabia, the strength of the seven tribes would at least give them good rights and status in the empire in the future.

The third is Iraq, which declared independence in August 1921, established the Kingdom of Iraq, established the Faisal Dynasty under the protection of the United Kingdom, and gained complete independence in 8.Like Saudi Arabia, as a member of the Arab world, they naturally want to restore their former glory. After all, wooden sticks tied together are stronger than individual ones.

In Ji Qing's time and space, Iraq's oil resource reserves were second only to Saudi Arabia, ranking second in the world, and it was an important supplier in the world oil market.From the late 60s (after the July Revolution in 1968) to the early 7s, Iraq nationalized its oil resources, and Western oil companies basically withdrew from the control and development of Iraq's oil resources.Since then, Iraq has actively participated in the "manufacturing" of the "oil weapons" of the Arab countries, and has repeatedly tried to achieve political goals through oil production restrictions, price increases, and embargoes.Until 70, it also supported the Palestinians' struggle against Israel by stopping oil exports for one month.

The U.S. war against Iraq is actually still about controlling Iraqi oil.In the end, the victory of the United States in the war against Saddam will undoubtedly bring Iraq's oil resources back under the control of the West (especially the United States).Controlling Iraq's oil rights will certainly have an important inhibitory effect on controlling the oil supply of the entire Gulf region, and even on the oil policies of OPEC members.Therefore, even though Iraq is poor and inconspicuous, Ji Qing cannot ignore it.

The fourth is Kuwait. In 1899, Britain forced Kuwait to sign the secret agreement with Kuwait, and Britain became the suzerain of Kuwait.In Ji Qing's time and space, in 1939 Coe officially became a protectorate of the United Kingdom. In the future, it will become a country with extremely rich oil resources, with proven oil reserves of 940 billion barrels, which is about 1025 of the world's total reserves.

In this time and space, Kuwait was not only poor, but also became a British vassal state.As a member of the Arab world, Kuwait will not be satisfied either.Under the operation of the Lurkers, they also joined the operation to revive the Arab Empire.

The fifth is Qatar 2c1882 British invasion, and in 1916 forced Qatari chiefs to accept slavery treaties and became a British protectorate.In Ji Qing's time and space, after World War II, American forces infiltrated. In March 1971, the United Kingdom announced that all treaties signed with the Gulf emirates would be terminated at the end of the same year. On September 3, 1971, Qatar declared independence.Qatar has quite rich oil and natural gas resources, and the total reserves of natural gas are No.9 in the world. In 1, the latest list of the richest countries and regions in the world released by the American "Global Finance" magazine showed that the Middle East country Qatar ranked first, with a per capita gross domestic product (GDP) of more than 3 US dollars (about 10 yuan) , also ranking first in the world.

But now, very early, still under the enslavement of the British.The outbreak of the European war and the outbreak of the Asian war gave the Qatari sheikh a hope.Under the arrangement of the lurkers, the actions to expel the forces of Western countries, abolish unequal treaties, and restore the former empire began.

The sixth is Egypt. In 1914, Egypt became a "protectorate" of the United Kingdom. In February 1922 (Japan), the United Kingdom was forced to recognize Egypt as an independent country, but still retained many privileges such as national defense, foreign affairs, and minority rights. .As the most populous country in the Arab world, they naturally do not exclude themselves.

Other players, such as Yemen, are also British colonies at the moment.Oman, in 19 years, was divided into "Muscat Sultanate" and "Islamic State of Oman", and is now also enslaved by the British.The same is true for Bahrain and Jordan.

Another participant, Lebanon, was placed under the French Mandate by the San Remo Conference in '19. On 1926c May 5 Lebanon was declared a republic, a constitution was promulgated, but the French mandate remained.Now that France was destroyed, they naturally rose up to resist.

The same fate followed Syria, which became a French mandate in April 19.Taking advantage of France's bad luck this time, they will unite with their brothers in the Arab countries to completely expel foreign forces and restore their former glory.

Other Arab countries in North Africa, such as Algeria, Libya, Morocco, and Tunisia, although they also have potentially huge value, have also made arrangements.However, considering the distance, they did not launch at the same time.When the climate of the Arabian Peninsula becomes a reality, Algeria, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia and other countries will act immediately.

Ji Qing has been preparing for this plan for three years, investing a lot of manpower, material resources and money.In terms of manpower alone, 3 sons were invested in the early stage, and [-] more sons were invested in the operation.That is to say, Ji Qing participated in [-] descendants during operations in various parts of the Arab world, and all of them were more powerful descendants after changing their costumes.

Of course, powerful offensive capabilities cannot be used. Except for some of them running around the Arab world as initiators and contacts, the rest are the core of one side's army.And these troops, in fact, were secretly trained by the lurkers in the past three years after they entered the Arab world, and the total number reached hundreds of thousands.However, it is now scattered among various Arab forces, which is very inconspicuous.

Don't look at the tens of thousands of people, but in the local area, as long as you spend money, there are still a lot of people who work hard.Of course, this is also the reason why the employers are also Arabs, otherwise, things would not go so smoothly.Moreover, there are also various concealment methods of the descendants at work, otherwise, the army of over 10 alone would be easily discovered by the British.

However, let alone Britain, France and other countries have not discovered it, even if they did, it would be too late.The Lurker's climate in the Arab world is complete, fully grown.Under the current world situation, only one blow is enough to wipe out the forces of Western countries.

The action was very fast, very unified, and very powerful. In half a month, by October 35, 10, the imperial revival army that emerged on the Arabian Peninsula wiped out the armies of Western countries such as Britain and France, and completely expelled the forces of all countries. Americans are no exception.At the moment, Arab countries are quite hostile to whites, and racism has reached a peak.

Such a drastic change has shocked the world, and no country can imagine why such a change occurred in the Arab world.It is understandable that Japan sent troops to Southeast Asia, after all, Japan is considered a powerful country in the world.But the Arab world, I am afraid that together, it is not as powerful as Japan.However, it is unbelievable that these poor, backward and sand-filled tribal people could unite and wipe out the garrisons of Western countries such as Britain and France.

At this moment, all countries, regardless of Britain and France, or Germany, Japan, and the United States, etc., are dumbfounded.They couldn't believe it, they thought they heard it wrong.

Finally, the facts are confirmed.Only then did they realize that the movement in the Arab world was too great this time. Such passionate slogans and drastic actions to revive the Arab Empire represented their fearless determination.Perhaps, a huge empire has been revived.

However, before countries reacted, the revival movement in the Arab world began to spread, passing through Egypt and spreading to North Africa.

First, Algeria was invaded by France in 1830 and gradually became a French colony.Now France is unlucky, and under the arrangement of the lurkers, they naturally acted.

Next came Libya, now an Italian colony.However, the Italian army is very poor, and the troops controlled by the local lurkers are enough to wipe them out.

Morocco became a French protectorate on March 1912, 3.In the same year, France and Spain signed the "Madrid Treaty", and the northern area of ​​Morocco and southern Ifni and other places were designated as Spanish protectorates.France was defeated, so naturally it couldn't be taken into account.Spain, the dynasty was overthrown in April 30, and the Second Republic was established. Although it is an old colonial empire, its strength is worse than that of France.With the encouragement of the lurkers, the people of Morocco naturally rose up.

Although Tunisia has not yet been colonized and occupied by France, they have also joined this operation in order to revive the Arab Empire.

Sudan is now a Commonwealth of Britain and Egypt, and under certain considerations, they also joined the operation.

In this way, by October 35, the Arab countries in North Africa had also wiped out the garrisons and forces of Western countries, and formed a whole with the countries of the Arabian Peninsula through Egypt.

However, it looks like a whole, but it is not unified in reality. It is just a mixture of many forces, and the cohesion is not strong.

At this moment, how to establish the empire, who is in charge, and how to divide the interests have become the main contradictions in the Arab world.As for the Western countries, the Arabs who have swept away the forces and garrisons of various countries and their confidence has soared, don't care about those white people.

Western countries, including Germany, see that the Arab Empire is about to rise, but it is useless to be anxious. It is impossible to abandon the current contradictions and wars among various countries and go to intervene in the unification of the Arab world.

At this time, they discovered the contradictions in the Arab world, and the Western countries became happy. In their view, it may not be so easy to establish the Arab Empire.And all countries must complete the war as soon as possible, so as to deal with the resistance on the Arab territory.

The Arab world is indeed chaotic, even wars have started, and it is noisy.But a month later, the armies that played a huge role in the war of unification in the Arab world began to show their allegiance to one person.All of a sudden, the largest force group in the Arab world was formed, at least the army was the most powerful.Affected by these loyal troops and forces, all the forces have also pledged their allegiance one after another. It is so straightforward that the western countries are once again dumbfounded.In the end, the various countries inquired about it, but only got a piece of information, that is, the person who was loyal had a legendary token.However, this is the end, no more information.

Soon, on December 12, a brand new Arab empire spanning two continents, Asia and Africa, was born. . .
