Also worthy of Roque's greater trust is Ali Rashid.

Before the outbreak of the World War, Ali Rashid fought for the Umbrella Company and conquered a huge Sultanate of Najd, and the current Arabian Peninsula has been owned by the Sultanate of Najd and the Umbrella Company, except for a few areas still controlled by the Ottoman Empire and the Protectorate of Aden controlled by the British.

The current Sultanate of Najd, with an area of more than 2.3 million square kilometers, is unfortunately a vast majority of the territory is desert, and there are few oases suitable for human habitation, and the population of the Sultanate of Najd is now only about 1 million people.

After the outbreak of the world war, the Sultanate of Najd also carried out a general mobilization for war, and all adult males between the ages of 16 and 45 entered the army, which covered almost all the human resources of the Sultanate of Najd that could be used for war, and the average life expectancy of the Sultanate of Najd was about 30 years old, which was about the same as that of Africans in southern Africa.

This is also Southern Africa, for the whole of Africa, where life expectancy is estimated to be 20 years old, and war, disease, poverty, hunger, and ruthless colonial rule threaten people's health too many factors.

"I don't want to be the king of the Sultanate of Najd, my dream is to be able to buy a farm in southern Africa after the war, and graze cattle, fish, and bathe every day, and paradise is nothing more than that." Ali Rashid's ideal is simple, a king who doesn't want to be a cowboy is not a good king.

Don't think that the king can do whatever he wants, look at the little king of the Kingdom of Mozambique, then look at the old king of the Ottoman Empire, and Nicholas II who couldn't sleep at night for the front line, Wilhelm II, who wore a military uniform and dreamed of conquering the world but his heart was higher than heaven and his fate was thinner than paper, and George V, who was nominally a king but couldn't even control the gossip tabloids, was the king really that good?

Don't be funny, the king can be a mascot, a scapegoat, or a pet in the deep palace, whether it is comfortable or not mainly depends on his sense of responsibility, after I die, the kind of king who cares about the flood is indeed very cool, but I hope they are just as cool when they go to the guillotine.

"It's not enough to buy a farm, you have to buy commercial real estate in Los Angeles, Port Edward, Johannesburg or Lorenzo Marques, and then entrust it to a commercial company, so as to ensure the long-term continuation of the family, as long as the future generations do not die, the family can continue to prosper—" Martin was very satisfied with Ali Rashid, who only knew that he cherished it if he lost it, and when he had it, he had a talent that was light and light, and the Rashid family had gone through ups and downs, and it was too risky to be king.

The places that Martin brings up are interesting.

Theoretically, the capital of a country is the most prosperous, and the same is true in southern Africa, even if Bloemfontein, on the surface, Pretoria and Cape Town are indeed full of flowers, but in reality the capital of southern Africa is really not popular.

The really popular cities, such as the ones mentioned by Martin, are all emerging cities with a predominantly Chinese population, and Los Angeles, Port Edward, and Johannesburg, needless to say, are all Chinese strongholds in southern Africa, and Lorenço Marques is an immigration hotspot that has just flourished in recent years.

During the Portuguese rule, Lorenço Marques was the capital of Portuguese East Africa, so the infrastructure of Lorenço Marques was quite good.

After its incorporation into southern Africa, Lorenço Marques became an emerging Chinese settlement, with 80 percent of its residents being Chinese, about the same proportion of the population as Los Angeles and Port Edward.

"It's not a good thing to leave too many assets to the children, a family without a sense of crisis will be destroyed sooner or later, a farm is good, the area does not need to be too large, and the life of the family can be guaranteed-" Ali Rashid said lightly, in fact, his family is not small.

In the Sultanate of Najd, a husband can marry four wives, and Ali Rashid, as a king, must also lead by example, he has four wives and thirteen children, and there may be more in the future.

While Martin and Ali Rashid were imagining the future, the coalition forces of the Sultanate of Najd and southern Africa were marching high.

On the 31st, the coalition forces captured Basra and captured nearly 50,000 Ottoman Empire.

On the 6th, the coalition army launched an attack on Baghdad, and the Ottoman Empire reorganized the defensive line, but could not withstand the attack of the coalition army, and the defense line was broken through in one day, and the coalition army repeated its old tricks and surrounded Baghdad.

On the 7th, the coalition forces captured Mukalama, and the Ottoman governor of the Hejaz, Garib Pasha, fled with his personal guard to Taif, a summer resort in the Hejaz Mountains.

On the twelfth, the coalition forces captured Yatrib, the process was surprisingly smooth, the Ottoman Empire had only one regiment in Yatrib, and when the commander-in-chief of the Sultanate of Najd, Sabah, led the army to Yatrib, the Ottoman regiment surrendered directly without resistance.

On the thirteenth, the coalition army finally marched towards Damascus, the Ottoman army was crushed, and the locals organized guerrillas to try to defend their homeland, but their efforts were doomed to be in vain, and the armies of southern Africa would be more restrained, but the troops of the Sultanate of Najd would not, and they treated the guerrillas in the most cruel way, and the road from Baghdad to Damascus was almost reduced to no man's land.

While the coalition between the Sultanate of Najd and southern Africa was progressing well, the Southern African Expeditionary Force, which was still fighting in Flanders and the Germans, was facing unprecedented difficulties.

After the end of the First Battle of Ypres, almost everyone had a clear understanding of the world war, which certainly could not end in 1913.

There were only two people left who insisted that victory was possible in a short period of time, one was the commander-in-chief of the French army, Chauffeur, and the other was the commander-in-chief of the British expeditionary force, Franzi.

The French lost 50,000 men in the First Battle of Ypres, but he was not discouraged, thinking that perhaps the next attack would break through the German lines.

Although the front line is in fact in a stalemate, but Xia Fei still firmly believes that the offensive can win the victory, as long as the weak area of the German position is found, Xia Fei will order the troops to attack, so although the large-scale battle has stopped, but the battle has been happening, Xia Fei called this tactic "small bites and slow food", in fact, it is a tactic of adding oil, which has no effect on changing the situation of the war, but will increase the casualties of the British and French forces.

Frenzi fought for command of more troops in London.

The millions of recruits recruited by Kitchener after the outbreak of the World War were finally being trained, and some of the new units formed after the World War were made up of experienced veterans who had already arrived in France to participate in the just-concluded Battle of Ypres.

The British Expeditionary Force also suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Ypres, although it was supplemented by the Southern African Expeditionary Force and the Canadian Legion, as well as the Indian Legion, but Frenzi was still not satisfied, hoping to get more troops in command, and he was also a supporter of the "quick victory" and "offensive supremacy", believing that the German army had become the last strong crossbow, and as long as Kitchener sent more troops to the Western Front, the Anglo-French army could win the victory.

Kitchener, on the other hand, had a holistic approach, that for Frenzi, the Western Front was all there was to it, and for Kitchener, the Western Front was only part of the war.

Winston also wanted more troops, and he always wanted to open up new battlefields for the Royal Navy to play a greater role, and November 5 was a tragic day, when the battleship Dreadnought was attacked by German submarines in the English Channel, killing 546 officers and men.

The battleship "Dreadnought" was the lead ship of the Dreadnought-class battleships, the first battleship in the world to use a unified type of main gun, and the first capital ship to be powered by a steam turbine.

Today, with the rapid development of warship technology, the battleship "Dreadnought" has become a great tragedy, and it has fallen behind before it is put into service.

Even so, the battleship "Dreadnought" still became a symbol of the Royal Navy's invincibility at sea, so the sinking of the "Dreadnought" battleship was a huge blow to the British Royal Navy, Winston vowed revenge, and chose the Dardanelles Strait as a breakthrough to open a second battlefield, for which Winston ordered Australian and New Zealand troops to stand by in Alexandria to prepare for an attack on Constantinople.

After the outbreak of the world war, Australia and New Zealand both carried out general mobilization for war, and Australia, with a total population of 5.5 million, was ready to mobilize 500,000 troops to support Europe, but the mobilization of troops took time, so the Anza coalition army arrived in Alexandria with less than 30,000 troops.

If you want to capture Constantinople, the capital of the Ottoman Empire, 30,000 men are obviously not enough, so Winston also hopes to get more troops to occupy Constantinople, control the Dardanelles, open the passage between the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea, and connect with the Russian Empire.

After Adan became a supplier of oil to Britain, the oil of the Russian Empire and Romania was no longer indispensable to Britain, but the grain produced by the Russian Empire was urgently needed by Britain, and southern Africa could provide Britain with a supply of various meat, poultry and eggs, and the grain needed to be imported from the Russian Empire.

Through the Battle of the Marne and the Battle of Ypres, the army of southern Africa showed strong combat effectiveness and became the most capable force on the entire Western Front, so whether it is Xia Fei or Frenzi, it is hoped that the army of Southern Africa can play a greater role in the next phase of the operation.

Southern Africa did well after the world war, with a 50,000-strong reinforcement arriving in France in early November, which would replenish the African divisions that had previously suffered heavy losses, and six African divisions would return to the battlefield after the New Year.

Also arriving in France was the 1st Artillery Division, which was equipped with three regiments and 36 150 mm howitzers, and 72 120 mm howitzers, the howitzers used the latest gun latch technology and could fire four shells per minute, each shell of a 120 mm howitzer weighed 31 kg, and the shells of a 150 mm howitzer weighed 45 kg.

Although Germany also had larger caliber heavy artillery, 120 and 150 were enough for the current field troops.
