"This is the Saudi envoy, Mr. Mohammed...... The one next to him is Ibrahim from the Oman region? Mr. Minović. The translator introduced it again and again, and bent down respectfully.

Rommel stood at the edge of the desert, looking at the endless desert in the distance, and felt that God was playing a not-so-funny joke with him.

In the past, it was a very happy thing for the head of state to arrange him in the endless North Africa.

So that he can gallop between heaven and earth, without scruples about the restrictions of others, and play the most perfect offensive battle in his mind.

It was this unrestrained fighting that allowed him to fight all the way from Tobruk to Egypt, earning the honor he had previously aspired to.

Now, he was only one step away from the Marshal's Scepter, commanding the army farthest from the German mainland and winning the most dazzling victory.

However, when he entered Egypt and received his general's reward, he suddenly found out bitterly that he had no battle to fight!

The previously planned goals of attacking El Alamein, capturing Cairo, and controlling the Suez Canal seemed far away, but he had already achieved them one by one.

Without so many goals, Rommel could only look at the boundless desert in front of him, urging his troops to train over and over again.

He had a full 400,000 troops at his disposal, most of them Italian servants. It's just that after some efforts, these troops from Italy are already very strong.

These soldiers were good at warfare, had a lot of Italian and British artillery, had plenty of ammunition, and had Libyan oil.

The only thing that restricts them is the damn yellow sand in front of them. If there was a road, maybe they would have reached the Indian border.

"I know what Mountbatten and Montgomery promised you, and what they can give you, we can give." Rommel turned around and spoke to the people who had come from afar.

The British offered independence to Saudi Arabia and Oman, and allowed their people to consolidate their faith.

Li Le, who has seen the chaos of the 21st century, at least what kind of result will this kind of connivance lead to in the end - the entire Middle East is in chaos, and he can only rely on the sale of oil to consolidate his position.

Li Le is not a savior, in fact he is more akin to a more vicious devil.

As Germany's head of state, Li Le also does not want to see a united and united Middle East.

What he prefers to see is a Middle East that is easy to control and makes it easy for him to shoot at the Middle East!

So Germany's solution to the chaos in the Middle East was simple: whatever the British promised the Arab world, Germany would do the same!

This condition is very generous, so generous that the Saudi envoy and others who came to negotiate are very satisfied.

"We are willing to sell arms, and we are willing to sell other supplies—as long as you choose to be on the side of Germany, rather than to look at the British." Rommel said as he looked at the Arab in front of him with his hands behind his back.

When the interpreter said Rommel's words, the Saudi envoy, Mr. Mohammed, was clearly in a quandary.

In fact, in 1941, Saudi Arabia had little to offer in exchange other than its geographical location.

The country is now poor and slightly isolated, and it is not the rich and oppressive of later generations. The reason for this is that I thought that in 1941, there was no oil found here!

Oil in the Middle East was discovered and exploited on a large scale only after World War II. During World War II, oil was not produced here.

At this time, the oil production area was in Iraq, as well as in Iran. It's still a long way from Saudi Arabia, so it's just a desert.

"Your Excellency, General, we are not as rich as you think, I am willing to get the support of your country, but we don't have that many leverages." The Saudi envoy opened his mouth depressedly and explained his embarrassment.

Several self-proclaimed national forces have been born here, the king of Saudi Arabia, Ibn ? Saudi Arabia is now struggling with troublesome issues within the country.

The departure of the British has made this place chaotic all at once, and the whole desert is now full of strife, and many people are dreaming of becoming emperors.

However, no matter how chaotic, all the forces made a wise decision, which was to curry favor with both sides, flattering the British government-in-exile while also eyeing the Third Reich.

And this time, the purpose of the special envoy sent by Saudi Arabia is to obtain a certain amount of support, so that he can restore his dominance over the region as soon as possible.

"It's okay, you can sell anything...... As long as you are willing to sell, we are willing to buy. "Rommel was like a cunning fox.

"The Führer likes it here, and so do many of our merchants, and you can sell the power of navigation, both in the Red Sea and in the Persian Gulf!" Before making other demands, the diplomat in charge of the negotiations, before Rommel did, made a condition.

Gaining navigation rights in the Red Sea would allow German submarines to enter and exit the Indian Ocean – and after the war, transporting goods from Asia to Europe would save a lot of trouble.

In addition, what Germany wanted was the right of passage north of Saudi Arabia: Rommel was always on his mind about attacking Iraq.

If he can secure a safe corridor, he will have at least three points of certainty of crossing Jordan and other areas to attack British forces in Iraq.

The importance of the Red Sea, of course, is very clear to Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has betrayed the navigation rights of the Red Sea to many countries, and naturally will not refuse the German proposal.

But letting Saudi Arabia cede the Northern Passage made the Saudi envoy a little reluctant. If you don't have a navy, you will hand over your interests at sea, but if you have an army, how can you just say that the land will be ceded?

At this time, give up a piece of land, and when the war is over, will it be clear whose land it is?

Suppose that the time comes, who will still be sure, or who will have the guts, to talk about the territorial issue with the Germans?

"We are deeply grateful for your country's tolerance and support...... We are also willing to facilitate it in the Red Sea region for German ships! The Saudi envoy first found an easy aspect to talk about, and opened his mouth to give his promise: "As long as your country is willing to provide assistance, everything is easy to say!" ”

The German diplomat next to Rommel nodded and replied with a smile: "Then we can go back to Cairo and have a good chat about the friendship between our two countries while tasting good wine." ”
