"The disparity in this battle is mainly due to the fact that Saudi Arabia underestimated the enemy. If they were ready, the battle would last a long time before there was a victory. But time is even more important for Aladdin. Meng Xiang said slowly, and the audience next to him was still Rat Er. Many words related to the base could not be explained to others, only the listener of Rat Er was quite satisfactory to Meng Xiang and would not hold back the secret.

"It's time to give Rat Two a boost and become an official hero." This thought suddenly crossed his mind, but at this time, Natasha had not yet completed his cultivation, not to mention that there was still a long stream of heroes to be cultivated behind.

Meng Xiang shook his head slightly and continued: "Continue to fight, the vast land of Saudi Arabia and the high temperature climate there will greatly reduce our advantage. Although it was able to win in the end, it was also a miserable victory. And the British are still sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, except for them, the Germans and Americans are all salivating in the Middle East, waiting to intervene."

Meng Xiang couldn't help but feel proud when he thought of the territory of the Shenyue Kingdom controlled by Aladdin at this time, and said with a smile: "The name of the Shenyue Country is not a nonsense, you see if the shape of their territory is like a crescent moon, from Fao in the two river basins, across Basra and Lake Hamar, and then covering the whole of Kuwait, crossing Haf'abatin and Rumach, and then encircling the UAE and the Mushantan Peninsula. Isn't this a meniscus? ”

Rat Er looked at his finger and nodded.

Meng Xiang also looked at the large map on the wall with bright eyes and sighed, "Of course it's Shenyue." Who would have thought that this seemingly desert country would be the world's largest oil deposit. The Ghawar oil field, the world's largest oil field, is surrounded by more than 10 billion tons. It is really hard to imagine that the entire patchwork of China has only detected more than 3 billion tons.

And now the world's second largest oil field, which belongs to Kuwait, is also ours, and it is another 10 billion ton level.

Although there are still some oil reserves that have not been explored, or are not conducive to development and use, when the world's oil is only more than 100 billion tons in the future, and we still have more than 3 billion tons of oil fields in northeast Saudi Arabia, more than 2 billion tons of Luaha oil fields in southern Iraq, plus oil fields in the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and other places, as well as large offshore oil fields in the Persian Gulf, isn't it that nearly half of the world's oil barrels are in our pockets? ”

Meng Xiang remembered that the oil reserves around the Persian Gulf were nearly 100 billion tons, accounting for more than half of the world's total, and when Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and other places were excluded, it was not a problem to have 60 billion tons in their hands.

He kept thinking in his heart, in the future, a barrel of oil will often break 100, and it is normal for a ton of oil to break 1,000 US dollars, what is the concept of 60 billion tons if it becomes cash? Meng Xiang couldn't help but want to count with his fingers.

However, he quickly came to his senses, touched the stubble on his chin and smiled: "Now is not the time to be stable, there are still a lot of tails to be cleaned"

With the news from Aladdin, Meng Xiang understood that the overall situation on the Saudi side had been decided. However, there are still a lot of troubles to be solved on the part of Iraq and the British.

After the defeat of the Saudis, Iraq's forward was still some distance away from Basra.

Hearing of the rout of the Saudi forwards, the Iraqis hesitated, but in the end they continued to move forward, but instead of attacking Basra directly, they divided a brigade to bypass Basra in the darkness of the night, and attacked directly from Rumaila to the port of um Qaissar, and one of the regiments also rushed quickly to Fao. They had already discovered two of Aladdin's divisions here, one in Basra and one in Kuwait City. In ports such as Faou, less than a regiment of troops defended and maintained law and order.

In their eyes, these ports are now in front of them and within easy reach. As long as the retreat route of Faw and other ports is cut off, the confrontation with Aladdin's army will continue at that time, and the existing territory can be maintained. Kuwait had long been warned by the British not to enter, and they were not sure that they would take it all together for the time being.

While they were marching towards Fao and other places, the reception personnel they were lurking in the harbor also rioted*, forcing Aladdin's men to scramble for a while. Iraqis felt victory in sight and their eyes were filled with joy. However, after an earth-shattering naval gun, in addition to shattering the glass of hundreds of homes, it also froze the smiles of the Iraqis' hope for victory.

Richards, who was hiding on an old R-class destroyer, was in the port of Faou at this time, when he suddenly heard a deafening sound of cannons, and saw that the British sailors were hurrying back and forth, and he also went out to check. But the first thing that catches the eye is a hill-like battleship.

"Oh God, when did they have such a great ship?" When Richards saw the flag of the Shenyue Kingdom flying on the battleship, he couldn't help but feel dizzy.

He was already very sure of Aladdin's strength, but he didn't expect to underestimate his courage, and Aladdin actually got a 10,000-ton cruiser. If he was familiar with the Japanese warship, then he would have perceived that this battleship was the highest level of Japanese heavy cruisers.

However, Richards could not discern, but he also knew the power of the ten 203-mm naval guns raised on the battleship. He subconsciously glanced at the 102-mm naval guns of the old R-class destroyer at his feet. Three single guns are not enough for the power of one cannon of the giant ship in front of him. The vast majority of the British warships ran to escort them. All that remains are antiques that still preserve the former glory of the British Empire in the colonies. But the giant ship that appeared now suddenly shattered the tranquility of the Persian Gulf.

The 12,000-ton senior heavy cruiser blocked at the port of Faw immediately compared the 1,040-ton old British R-class destroyer docked in the harbor. The sound of cannons is more like a roar, announcing the end of an era and the beginning of a new era.

"It seems to be the most advanced cruiser" Captain Doyle of the old R-class destroyer is familiar with the ships of various countries, and he also knows the Japanese very well, but looking at this 10,000-ton cruiser, he always feels a little familiar, and he held the telescope and looked at it for a long time, and finally said with some uncertainty, "It's very similar, but the 5-inch anti-aircraft gun and the 1-inch anti-aircraft gun have been canceled and replaced with 1.5-inch and 0.78-inch anti-aircraft guns, and there are not many other changes." It seems to be the most advanced cruiser of the Japanese. However, how could they have Japanese warships? ”

"Aladdin is so crazy, he actually bought such a huge battleship" Richards was shocked when he heard this, and immediately thought of the trick of exchanging land for weapons.

He couldn't see that Meng Xiang had replaced the backward 127-mm and 25-mm anti-aircraft guns of the highest class with the 40-mm Bofors and 20-mm Erley anti-aircraft guns, but he knew that such a Japanese cruiser must be the masterpiece of Shanzhai companies. The Yamato-class in the hands of copycat companies and the Nagato-class in the hands of umbrellas ignited the passion of the whole world, and many people knew about the large-scale theft of naval shipbuilding materials by the Japanese. For this reason, the Japanese also purged several times in various secret departments, and some of the original meritorious officials were also imprisoned.

But what should have happened has already happened, and later the Japanese and the umbrella company have negotiated, and at this time their friendship is not bad, and the umbrella company may not do this kind of thing anymore. The only one who dares to buy and sell in a big way is a copycat company. Either way, they all stood behind Aladdin's back on the leased land of the Shenyue Country, making other people's actions have to be careful.

"Such a large warship, it takes more than 900 people, can the Arabs who can only play on rafts in the shallows drive? Such a ship is just a living target in their hands," Captain Doyle disdained, but his eyes were fixed on the heavy cruiser, as if he wanted it to see through it all over his body. He knew in his heart that even if the top-level ship's broadside armor belt was only 127 mm, it was not something that the 102 mm main gun of his old R-class destroyer could penetrate. But relying on two twin 533-mm torpedo launchers, there is still a possibility of victory, but it is only possible.

The tactics of the navy are sometimes very simple, that is, there are more ships than ships, and the ships are large, fast, and the guns are thick and these indicators reflect the overall strength. Cases of a large disparity in strength and a weak victory over a strong are rarely seen in highly technical navies.

Even when Captain Doyle said this, he didn't dare to do it easily, looking at the ten 203mm naval guns on it, you didn't negotiate a round of shelling, where can you get close? Even if the 127mm guns were removed from the ship, the larger number of 40mm guns could have knocked out the old R-class destroyers.

What's more, there were two converted Scott destroyers cruising next to the top-level battleship, and they were beaten and sunk by those little brothers before they could get close.

In the distance, on the top patrol, the dragon 3 was also holding a telescope in the command tower to look at the British battleship.

Since the base can produce compound talents, although the price is higher, Meng Xiang still produces some. Moon Dragon 3 is a compound talent that directly combines spies and naval professionals, eliminating the need for ordinary clones to learn and accumulate. Because his Arab appearance was specially cultivated for Aladdin's Shenyue Kingdom, the code name in front of him has the word Yue.

The compound talents who are combined with spies, such as Rat Warriors, Ox Warriors, and Tiger Warriors, have also reduced the trouble of ordinary spies in cultivating professional knowledge, and have become the core force of Aladdin's army.

The British did not act rashly, and remained a cold observer. The British, who had just been driven out by the Iraqis, had no opinion on teaching the Iraqis a lesson.

The telescope of the Lunar Dragon 3 turned into the distance again, and two of the three water reconnaissance planes carried by the top class flew out, observing the effect of the shelling. The 203-mm naval gun was enough to cause a huge shock.

In fact, the fifteen 155-mm guns at the beginning of the first class could pour 75 shells a minute, compared to 10 203-mm naval guns with 30 shells a minute. However, after the later renovation, the Suzuya and Kumano not only changed the naval guns, but also changed some of the flaws in the original design. Besides, Aladdin's navy was only cruising in the Persian Gulf, and there was no doubt that the 203mm guns were more intimidating than the 155mm guns.

At this time, the Iraqi cavalry regiment that rushed to the edge of the port of Faw faced the large craters in front of them, and then looked at the vague shadow of a huge ship that was faintly visible outside the port of Faw, and they couldn't help but retract their pace of progress.

Who can resist such a cannon? Everywhere they ran to death, the fragments of the bodies of the dozens of people who rushed to the front just now had been drowned in the blood oozing from the pit, but the loud noise just now still echoed in the bleeding ears.

Nayef hesitated a little, and finally rushed here, did he give up halfway? It was less than a kilometer away from Fao, and the port of Faou in front of him was like a big magnet that kept attracting his attention. But a second loud bang on the huge battleship woke him up.

"Retreat," Nayef shouted loudly, and before he could shout, the soldiers' footsteps had begun to retreat, and when they heard his order, they were even more backwards. When the smoke cleared, the new crater moved forward another hundred meters, and the hundreds of soldiers who had hesitated in front of them disappeared again near the bloody crater.

In fact, the speed of their evacuation did not mean much to the naval guns. However, the naval guns stopped after the third round. Meng Xiang also didn't want Aladdin and Iraq to have too much resentment. At this time, the boundaries of the territory had not been finalized, this era was still the era of tribes, the concept of the state was still relatively thin, and the divided territory did not have so much resentment. But after fighting to the death, it is easy to form a feud.

At this time, Iraq was sandwiched between the Germans and the British, and Meng Xiang also knew it, and he didn't want Aladdin to get involved.

"Holding a torch in one hand and a sword in the other, I bring friendship and an unyielding war song." Iraq's Prime Minister Zireani quickly got the news from the front, and he couldn't help but rub his forehead when he looked at the letterhead from Aladdin that he had just received yesterday. Aladdin's strength is beyond anyone's imagination. Not only did he have tanks and planes, but he also had 10,000-ton warships, which meant that Iraq would not be able to hold those two ports even if it captured them. By this time, Aladdin's destroyer Scott had already reached the vicinity of Basra, and the shelling caused the Iraqi forces near Basra to retreat a little.

"You can't fight a battle like this," Zireani muttered. Without the intervention of outsiders, Iraq alone would not have been able to deal with Aladdin. And the British stood by and the Germans were silent, and the power of the Americans was even more squeezed.

"Do you want to just give up?" Zirrani was a little unwilling, he knew that this was the time when the British were at their weakest in the Middle East.

In addition to the dying of the British themselves, the fact that the Italians were attacking the British on all fronts in Egypt was already known to everyone. Although the British forces in the Middle East continued to build up there, the hastily laid out defenses and still slightly thin lines could not stop the spaghetti soup from pouring in.

Gradually, the world's rhetoric began to circulate in the unfavorable side of the British. This is one reason why Zireany dared to say no to the British. Coupled with the support of the domestic Pan-Afghan officers and the Germans, Zireani stood up and was preparing to do something big, even to take back Kuwait. But at this time, Aladdin came out again, first took Kuwait away, and also occupied several coastal ports in Iraq.

"It may sound good to be able to retain the right to use the port and the permanent navigation of the Shatt al-Arab, but after all, it is a pity that you are subject to people," Zireani sighed. After the establishment of the Shenyue Kingdom, Iraq's footsteps towards the Persian Gulf suddenly stopped, and his eyes couldn't help but turn to the direction of Syria.

At this time, Syria, which had been occupied by the French for twenty years, had fallen to the side of the Germans because of the surrender of the French. The Free French Army, formed by the British and French forces, was still operating in Libya, and Zireani originally planned to take this opportunity to intervene in Libya, but the attitude of the Germans was also ambiguous, which made him feel that his hands and feet were tied for a while.

And the surrounding is not Iran, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and other Middle Eastern powers, or the British are tough Jordan, and there is a strong Shenyue country, so that he can only look up to the sky and sigh.

"At this time, the British were at their most vulnerable in the Middle East, and other powers had not yet had a good chance to move in. The Americans will not let the Germans rule the entire continent of Europe and the disunity of the European continent is their chance to become a world hegemon, and sooner or later they will intervene. After the election, it's time for them to raise their knives. At that time, even if the British did not comb the Middle East, the Americans, who had torn their faces, would intervene. There are also Germans, who are laying out all around, and the Germans who encircle Soviet Russia will increase their intervention in the Middle East after consolidating the territory at this time. At that time, it will be more difficult to be independent at this time, and it is not in a hurry, at least there is the power of self-preservation. Although it is a bit of an eyesore to push both companies out, sometimes it is easier to confuse people in the light than in the dark" Meng Xiang stretched and breathed a long sigh of relief.

After waiting for a few days, although Saudi Arabia and Iraq did not discuss peace talks with Shenyue, the armies of both sides still stopped attacking, and the messengers of the three parties came and went more and more frequently.

"All that remains is to wait for the British to make a move. But the British are still anxious at this time, and they don't know how many means there are to meddle in the Shenyue Kingdom? The Italians have approached the Suez Canal. It seems that the chrysanthemum of the British has been stabbed haha" Meng Xiang said with a smile, although the Italians have some noodles, but at this time, the wealth of Egypt is the driving force for them to attack the fortification.

"If there is no accident, the independence of the Shenyue Kingdom is a foregone conclusion."
