Prince Fahd is the eldest son of the former emir and the uncle of the current king. He is seventy years old this year. He usually likes to wear white Arab robes, brown glasses, a delicate beard, a kind smile, harmless to humans and animals, and a standard Middle Eastern oil tyrant.
In appearance, even if the coup failed, his son was killed in the war, and his family was imprisoned, he still maintained the image of an Arab aristocrat.
King Said pardoned his uncle, but only deposed his title of prince, but he still enjoyed a special status, and his deposits and fixed assets in Switzerland were not affected in London. Under the protection of Colin's Ministry of Interior officials and gendarmes, the law
Hurd and his family traveled to Riyadh in ten cars, from where they flew to London to rent an apartment.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Fahd has been a prince for seventy years and has accumulated countless properties. His treasures, famous paintings, and brand-name clothes, shoes and bags from his wives and concubines alone can be loaded into five cars. The other five cars are used for
Regarding Fahd’s wives and children, according to Arab law, he has four wives. Of course, in fact, it is more than this number. In addition, he has many ex-wives, but the legal limit of wives is always four. Although Fahd has many wives,
He has only two sons and five daughters. The eldest son Khalid has died in the war. The younger son is only ten years old this year. He was born to his third wife and is of mixed Arab and American descent.
The attendants loyal to Fahd went with him. There were only a dozen of them, and half of them were harem maids. They couldn't even get a driver, so they hired a few Pakistanis from the taxi company to drive the convoy away.
His Highness Fahd was full of affection and took one last look at the Colin Palace. Scaffolding was erected outside the palace. The Bangladeshi engineering team was repairing the outer wall that was riddled with artillery fire. On the balcony, King Said looked at it coldly.
My own uncle.
The convoy set off, and the group entered Saudi Arabia by land. Once they crossed the border, a large group of media reporters blocked the road and asked to interview Fahd. Among them, two reporters from the Associated Press were granted permission to board His Highness's Land Rover for an exclusive interview.
This scene was seen by the military police at the Colin border checkpoint, and they immediately called the headquarters to report. When the news reached Said, the king just sneered. Previously, he and his uncle signed an agreement, and the two parties agreed not to report to the headquarters after the amnesty.
The media disclosed any inside information about the palace coup. Before the ink was dry, the uncle would speak nonsense to various reporters, which showed that this person was completely untrustworthy.
In addition, the uncle and nephew also signed a secret agreement. Fahd promised to permanently give up the throne of Colin. Of course, neither party took this agreement seriously. Treaties are meant to be broken. Since you broke the agreement first, then my revenge will be
Not only was Said not angry about this, but he was very satisfied with it.
On the border of Kosha, in Fahd's specially-made extended-length Land Rover, the bloated prince took off his Arab robe, trimmed off his beard, put on jeans and a T-shirt, put on a photography vest, and then put on a baseball.
The hat and sunglasses look exactly like the chubby AP photographer.
Fahd picked up the camera and got out of the car with the reporters. Other reporters swarmed over and no one paid attention to them. The prince lowered his head and quietly got into the off-road vehicle marked with the Associated Press. A man wearing light clothes sat in the back seat.
The middle-aged man in a red suit stretched out his hand to him: "Your Majesty, thank you for your hard work."
"Mr. Thorpe, it's nice to see you again." The eldest prince nodded slightly.
On the other side, the prince's attendants announced to the reporters that His Highness would no longer be interviewed. Please understand. The reporters had no choice but to make way and the motorcade continued to move forward. The road signs pointed to Riyadh.
…
Liu Handong was already waiting for Fahd's arrival in Riyadh. Xiao Cui and Huo Lei were not around. He could only temporarily transfer a few staff members with military backgrounds from the king's office to assist him in his work. All six of them were equipped with guns and a thunderbolt.
The M700 shotgun produced by Dayton Company, the model of this gun in the US Marine Corps is M40A1, is a very reliable high-precision sniper rifle.
His Highness Fahd has a large residence in the suburbs of Riyadh, which can accommodate the whole family. Liu Handong is lying on the roof of a nearby house. Lying next to him is Sergeant Hassan, who is a temporary observer.
Zhiyi stared at the gate of the "palace". Smoke and dust billowed in the distance, and the motorcade was coming.
Liu Handong stuffed a .300 Winchester Magnum rifle bullet into the chamber of the gun, and gently pushed the bullet to load it. In the scope, he saw a Land Rover parked at the door. People were getting out of the car one after another, including men and women, but there was no one.
Fahad.
Could it be that there was something wrong with the intelligence? Logically speaking, there shouldn't be, because spies from the King's Office were planted in the convoy. If Fahd escaped midway, there would definitely be a report. If Fahd disappeared, he either ran away without knowing it, or
Still in the car, the latter is less likely.
Since Fahd was not here, there was no point in killing his whole family. Liu Handong put away his sniper rifle and felt a little unhappy. He was embarrassed on his first mission. How would he meet people in the future? But after thinking about it, he excused himself.
After all, he is not a professional spy, he is just a corporate executive. He cannot hold himself to the standards of the CIA.
That night, Said did not receive news of Fahd's violent death, and he was not surprised. The prince was extremely cunning and must have guessed that he was going to do something dirty. If he killed the opponent easily, he would be uneasy and wonder if he was a substitute.
Block the gun.
…
One day later, Prince Fahd suddenly appeared in Dubai and held a press conference to announce the establishment of the government-in-exile of the Emirate of Colin and continue to be his emir. At the reception, there were a large number of European and American security personnel, tall and wearing sunglasses.
Headset, it can be seen that Fahd has been protected in some way.
At the press conference, Prince Fahd denounced his nephew as a traitor to the country. In order to seize power, he made a deal with the devil and sold the precious oil resources of the people of Colin to the greedy Chinese at a low price in exchange for support from the Chinese intelligence agency. There were even a large number of Chinese nationals.
Soldiers joined the rebels to fight. During the palace battle, the cruel Chinese used old, weak, women and children as shields. The royal army could not bear to shoot and had to lay down their weapons. In this regard, the prince begged the United Nations to intervene.
He spoke impassionedly and burst into tears. The reporters also took it seriously and treated it as big news. All kinds of shocking news about Chinese forces entering the Middle East and blatantly interfering in Colin's internal affairs flooded the world. However, the governments of the United States, Britain and other countries strangely remained silent.
Stay silent.
At the same time, King Said announced the establishment of a million-ton oil refinery with China's Yanhuang Energy Group. Kuwait holds 51% of the shares. The total contract value exceeds 10 billion US dollars. Anyone who is not a fool can see that this is a win-win situation.
contracts, and Colin won more. China, as always, has been taken advantage of by money-looters, and Colin's oil resources are less than one percent of Saudi Arabia's, so it is not enough to mobilize troops.
Except for Mr. Richard Thorpe, who represents the interests of ExxonMobil, he made a big bet on Fahd. He spent countless efforts and seemed to be successful, but was inexplicably intercepted by the Chinese.
Why can't I swallow it?
Thorpe is an adventurer. His dream is to control a country. He once competed with the Chinese for control of iron ore in West Africa, but ultimately failed miserably. He has never touched the iron ore business again. Now he is mainly engaged in the oil business, but he also suffered the same fate in the Middle East.
The Chinamen, who are attacking all over the world, have once again failed.
But as long as Fahd is alive, Thorpe has cards in his hand. He plans to help the prince build an army to fight guerrillas with the government forces in the Colin desert and seize power through military means.
On the surface, this is a war between the two royal families of Said and Fahd, but in fact it is a proxy war between China Yanhuang and ExxonMobil, or at a larger level, it is a war between China, an emerging country, and
Challenge launched by the world’s established hegemons.
Liu Handong saw the press conference on the Internet. He felt that his face was extremely hot, so he immediately went to the Zhongyanhuang Middle East Branch. Now his reputation is at its peak. As soon as he entered the branch door, everyone looked at him with great reverence.
, call him Chief Liu respectfully.
"Is Lao Zhang here? I need to use the confidential room." Liu Handong walked straight to the confidential room, followed by a group of old ladies chattering like crazy fans. Chief Liu was so cool that he didn't even look back.
The Middle East branch has its own confidential room and uses a confidential phone to communicate with the country. Liu Handong called his immediate boss Zheng Jiayi and handed over the problem, saying that Hurd had established a government in exile and might even mobilize a team.
A civil war will inevitably affect Zhongyan and Huang's interests in Corinth.
"What do you need?" Zheng Jiayi asked calmly, "We will try our best to satisfy you."
"Support, strong support. What I'm doing now is dirty work. I need a few experienced people with shady intentions. It's best if they can speak Arabic." Liu Handong said.
"I know, I will try my best to coordinate." Zheng Jiayi hung up the phone without saying any nonsense.
There was a knock on the door of the confidential room, and Zhang Bangxian came. With a smile on his face, he shook hands with Liu Handong cordially: "You don't even say hello in advance when you come to Riyadh. I'll treat you to a roasted whole lamb tonight."
…
Beijing, Zhongyanhuang headquarters, Zheng Jiayi came to Song Jianfeng's office, put the tablet in front of him, and played the video of Fahd's press conference.
"What do you mean?" Song Jianfeng raised his eyebrows and took it very seriously. Fahd's slander against the Chinese government may cause a huge diplomatic dispute, greatly affect our country's image, and cause the anger of high-level officials. No one can bear this responsibility.
"This is inevitable." Zheng Jiayi said, "Behind Fahd is Mobil. Their interests and ours in Colin are in conflict and irreconcilable. The struggle is inevitable and will only intensify."
Song Jianfeng lit a cigarette and thought deeply: "Jiayi, what do you think should be done?"
Zheng Jiayi said: "Our company does not have such resources. The two options are to either train ourselves, select personnel from retired special forces soldiers, and assign them to the International Relations Department for use; second, ask the military for help and ask them to deploy elite troops.
Go and get rid of Fahd; the first plan will be effective slowly, but you can control the power and will not be hindered by others. The second plan will be effective quickly, but the military is not a fuel-efficient lamp, you know."
Song Jianfeng said: "Let's take a two-pronged approach. Let Liu Handong select people, and we will provide staff and remuneration to establish Zhongyan and Huang's own emergency public relations personnel. As for the issue of Fahd, let the military make a contribution."
After emergency coordination, Major General Xian Hui, who is in charge of secret front operations of the General Staff, expressed his position that it is possible to support Zhongyan and Huang, but the military must be the main force, and Zhongyan and Huang will cooperate with the actions. As for the commander, he has already thought of it, and he will use his rich experience in the Middle East.
