Fasher had a good two days, because of his cooperative attitude and the handing over of the information of the treasure, his majesty the prince was given preferential treatment by the German army. Of course, Farsher was still a prisoner of the German army at this time, and he was only treated at the level of an ordinary officer, but compared to those prisoners in prison cells, it was much better.

He had access to plenty of food for three meals a day, and in order to take care of his religious beliefs, the Germans also found his chef from among the prisoners. Several of Prince El Fasher's personal servants were also captured along with the logistics caravan, and Dougan ordered the release of these men so that they could continue to serve the prince.

After receiving Xu Jun's order, Daogen left the post station with his subordinates and some treasures, as well as the prince of Farsher, and drove to the forward airfield called "Gravel", and the Sparou battalion also sent two platoons of tanks as guards, accompanied by a fully equipped motorized infantry company.

The firepower of this small force was enough to repel the attack of thousands of Bedouin cavalry, and at this time, no nomadic tribe in the central region of Saudi Arabia could pull out so many cavalry.

The powerful tribes in the region clinged to each other to protect themselves, while those loyal to the royal family began to migrate in the direction of Riyadh.

The Arabian Peninsula has a special environment, with water scarcity and low agricultural levels, the country's annual production of food and agricultural products is very low, except for a few oasis areas with abundant water sources, most of the inland areas have to rely on foreign imports for food, and many towns and cities were not self-sufficient until the late seventies.

As a result, there was no large town with a population of more than 100,000 in the central and eastern part of the Arabian Peninsula at that time, except for the capital Riyadh, and the land production was really limited and could not provide for more people. The Arabs could only live in a tribal manner, scattered over a wide territory, and tribes gathered only when a large-scale war broke out.

The leader was not required to provide the troops with weapons and equipment, which were to be provided by the tribal warriors, but the leader had to pay commissions to the tribal warriors, as well as provide food and clean water for daily consumption. Of course, once the battle starts, the materials and ammunition consumed by the soldiers also need to be replenished by the leaders. Therefore, if he had not received financial support from the British, Ibn Saud would not have been able to gather so many soldiers and create such a large foundation.

Now so many tribal populations are being driven to Riyadh by coalition forces, and with the capital's food and water reserves, it is unknown how long it will be able to hold out. Saudi Arabia's external access is all closed, from the moment the war broke out, not a grain of grain will cross the border, intelligence shows that because the war broke out too suddenly, Saudi Arabia in the Najd area of food reserves are not much, and now there are so many people, it is believed that the food will soon be consumed. At that time, even if there is money, there will be no food to buy, and the entire Najd region will be plunged into a terrible famine.

The Najd region, the Saudi stronghold, is a harsh environment, with the exception of a few oasis cities such as Riyadh and Brenda, where most of the territory is a dusty barren land where no one can survive except camels and Bedouin herders.

The Hejaz region, which controls the eastern shore of the Red Sea and the coastal trade routes, is much better, the Hejaz Mountains block the moisture blowing from the Red Sea, there is still some rain every year, and the two holy cities are in the territory, which can receive countless pilgrims from all over the world every year, so the development of commerce and agriculture is much more prosperous than that of Najd.

Fifteen years ago, the Ikhwan militia conquered the comfortable Hejaz kingdom and ended the thousand-year-long rule of the Hashemite family.

Nowadays, almost all the territory of the Hejaz Kingdom has fallen into the hands of the German-British coalition army, and almost all the local families loyal to the royal family have migrated from Neizhi fifteen years ago, and their local roots are not deep. Fearing liquidation by the German-British forces and local families, some families abandoned their fifteen-year-old property and fled across the precipitous Hejaz Mountains to the inner region, which was still under the king's rule.

But there are also those who have left behind, these people think that as long as they curry favor with these foreign invading forces, they will be able to keep their family business, but they don't know that the Hashemite family who has made a comeback is closely following in the footsteps of the invading army. As the original masters of the Hejaz kingdom, the Hashemite family did not show the slightest mercy to these betrayers and enemies.

At this time, only fifteen years have passed since the retreat of the Hashemite family, but the Hejaz people have begun to miss Sharif (Sharif. Hussein), although the old king's self-proclaimed "caliphate" behavior was somewhat arrogant, but life was much more comfortable and comfortable at that time than now.

The locals do not know what a world economic crisis is, nor what a strategic blockade is, they only know that the Saudi occupation of the Hejaz for more than 20 years, the caravans to and from the local area have decreased a lot, while the taxes collected by the king are increasing year by year, dates and camels cannot be sold, and the lives of the common people are now worse than the stubble.

This time the Hashemite family sent Talal. Root. Prince Abdul, he is Sharif. Hussein's grandson, a member of the Hashemite family, has also served as the king of Jordan for a time in history.

To say that Sharif. Hussein is also highly respected in the Arab world, and it is this sheikh who has historically cooperated with the "Lawrence of Arabia". It is a pity that in old age, the king's ego is a little inflated, and he even disregards the opposition of the people and those around him, and insists on proclaiming himself a new caliph. Sharif. Hussein's actions shook the Arab world and ruined decades of fame.

However, the Hashemite family was a clan of religious prophets and had great prestige in the Middle East world, and although the family was eventually driven out of the holy city of Mecca, Sharif's descendants continued to reign in Iraq and Transjordan.

In fact, there is one prince in the Hashemite family who is more suitable to return to the Hejaz, and that is the second king Ali. Sharif's eldest son, Abdullah. Prince Ila, who was serving as regent in Iraq at the time, assisted his five-year-old nephew.

King Faisal I of Iraq, a fashion-conscious monarch, was involved in a car accident last year while racing in his newly purchased Buick sports car, leaving four-year-old Ghazi in the driver's seat. Ibn . Prince Faisal is the only heir. Because the prince was so young, he could only be temporarily regent by an adult prince of the Hashemite family. At that time Abdullah. Ira happened to be living in Iraq and was put on the throne of regent.

Historically, the Regent of Iraq was killed in a military coup d'état with Faisal II 18 years later, and the Iraqi monarchy was overthrown, and from then on Iraq entered the era of military government, which lasted until the fall of Saddam's regime.

The British publicized the current war as a revenge battle for the Hashemite family to regain internal rule, and the effect of the propaganda is indeed remarkable, after the capture of the port of Jeddah, the British army did not encounter any resistance from the local family, especially when Prince Abdul arrived in Jeddah, and was welcomed by the local residents.

The current fighting in the Inner Territory was fought between the British troops who landed in the mountains and the Saudi tribesmen stationed near the holy city, and only the tribes closest to the royal family could receive this honor. With ground and air support, the British army is advancing at an accelerated pace, and it is believed that it will take the entire holy city in just two days. At the same time, the members of the Hashemite family have quietly infiltrated Mecca, and they have a lot of connections in the city, which should play a role in the upcoming siege.

However, Xu Jun was not interested in this religious holy city at all, and he felt that it was better to leave it to the British, who had colonized the Arab world for many years and had more experience in dealing with religious issues than the Germans.

It is said that the prince Farsher, who was flying for the first time in his life, was full of curiosity in his fear, but soon after takeoff, El Fasher was fascinated by the feeling of flying, and the Germans on the same plane would not have imagined that they had created an avid flying enthusiast.

Prince El Fasher was placed under house arrest in a house in Yanbu Port, owned by a merchant who fled Yanbu Port with his family on the day of the German invasion.

Early this morning, El Fasher was taken out of his temporary residence by the Germans, and he was surprised to find that the entire city had been placed under martial law, and the streets and alleys were full of German patrols, and there were rows of military armored vehicles painted in sand yellow painted on the side of the road.

If the situation had not changed dramatically, it was the presence of a big man in the port, and Farsher did not believe that the Germans would be defeated, so it was obviously the second answer he had guessed.

El Fasher was then taken to the residence of the governor of Yanbu Port, which he immediately recognized as a guest of the place two years earlier.

"Adil Adil was a very hospitable officer, and I wonder if he resisted when the Germans occupied the area. Thinking about it, with the temper of this political officer, he should be able to resist, but I don't know what happened to him now. ”

After lunch, Prince El Fasher was sitting in the hut where he was being held, when the door suddenly opened, and Lieutenant Colonel Randolph walked in, followed by two broad-shouldered SS guardsmen.

"El Fasher, someone wants to see you." An SS member shouted in stiff Arabic.

"Who wants to see me?" Fasher asked, standing up.

"Don't talk nonsense, take him away." With one hand behind his back, Randolph tilted his head coldly at the door.
