Also deserving of Rock's greater credit is Ali Rashid.
Before the outbreak of the world war, Ali Rashid fought for the Umbrella Company and conquered the vast Sultanate of Najd. In addition to a few areas still controlled by the Ottoman Empire and the Aden Protectorate controlled by the British, the current Arabian Peninsula
Apart from that, everything is already owned by the Sultanate of Najd and the Umbrella Company.
The current Sultanate of Najd covers an area of more than 2.3 million square kilometers. Unfortunately, most of the territory is desert, with few oases suitable for human habitation. The population of the Sultanate of Najd is now only about 1 million.
After the outbreak of the world war, the Sultanate of Najd also carried out war mobilization. All adult males between the ages of 16 and 45 entered the military service. This age group covered almost all the human resources available for war in the Sultanate of Najd.
The average life expectancy of people in the Zhi Sultanate is only about 30 years, which is similar to that of Africans in southern Africa.
This is still southern Africa. For the whole of Africa, the average life expectancy is estimated to be 20 years. War, disease, poverty, hunger, cruel and ruthless colonial rule, there are too many factors that threaten people's health.
"I don't want to be the king of the Sultanate of Najd. My ideal is that after the war is over, I can buy a farm in southern Africa, where I can graze cattle, go fishing, and take a bath every day. Paradise is nothing more than that." Ali Rahi
Germany's ideal is very 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 lay awake at night on the front line. He wore a military uniform and dreamed of conquering the world, but his heart was higher than the sky and his destiny was higher than paper.
William II, who is thin, and George V, who is king in name, but can't even control the tabloids. Are kings really that good?
Don't be ridiculous, the king can be a mascot, a scapegoat, or a pet kept in the palace. Whether you feel comfortable or not mainly depends on your own sense of responsibility. After I die, I will not care about the flood. That kind of king is indeed
It's pretty cool, but I hope they feel just as happy when they go to the guillotine.
"It's not enough to just buy a farm. You have to buy commercial real estate in Port Edward, Johannesburg or Lourenço Marquez, Los Angeles, and then entrust it to a commercial company to operate it. Only in this way can you ensure the long-term continuation of the family. As long as future generations don't commit suicide, the family will survive."
Can continue to prosper - "Martin is very satisfied with Ali Rashid. Only when you lose it can you learn to cherish it. If you have it, you can be calm and calm. The Rashid family has gone through many ups and downs. Being a king is really too risky.
These places mentioned by Martin are very interesting.
Theoretically speaking, the capital of a country is the most prosperous, and the same is true in southern Africa. Forget Bloemfontein, on the surface Pretoria and Cape Town are indeed flourishing, but in fact the capitals of southern Africa are really prosperous.
unwelcome.
The really popular cities, such as the ones mentioned by Martin, are all emerging cities dominated by Chinese. Needless to say, Los Angeles, Port Edward and Johannesburg are the strongholds of Chinese in southern Africa, while Lourenço Marquez
It is an immigration hotspot that has just flourished in recent years.
During the Portuguese rule, Lourenço Marquez was the capital of Portuguese East Africa, so the infrastructure in Lourenço Marquez was quite good.
After being merged into Southern Africa, Lourenço Marquez became an emerging Chinese settlement, with 80% of the residents being Chinese, and the population ratio was similar to that of Port Edward, Los Angeles.
"It is not a good thing to leave too many assets to your children. A family without a sense of crisis will be destroyed sooner or later. A farm is enough, and the area does not need to be too big. Just ensure the life of the family -" Ali Rashid said
It's so easy. In fact, his family is quite big.
In the Sultanate of Najd, a husband can marry four wives. As the king, Ali Rashid must of course set an example. He has four wives and thirteen children, and there may be more in the future, given his reproductive ability.
It's really not a lie.
While Martin and Ali Rashid were thinking about the future, the Sultanate of Najd and the coalition forces in southern Africa were advancing in full swing.
On the 31st, the coalition forces captured Basra and captured nearly 50,000 Ottomans.
On the 6th, the coalition forces launched an attack on Baghdad. The Ottoman Empire reorganized its defense line, but failed to withstand the coalition's attack. The defense line was breached within one day. The coalition forces repeated their old tricks and surrounded Baghdad.
On the 7th, the coalition forces captured Mukarama, and the Ottoman Empire's Hejaz Governor Gharib Pasha fled with his personal guards to Taif, a summer resort in the Hejaz Mountains.
On the 12th, the coalition forces captured Yatrib. The process was surprisingly smooth. The Ottoman Empire only had one regiment in Yatrib. When Sabah, the commander-in-chief of the Sultanate of Najd, led his army to Yatrib, the Ottoman Empire's
The regiment surrendered without any resistance at all.
On the 13th, the coalition forces finally marched towards Damascus. The Ottoman Empire's army was defeated. The locals organized guerrillas to try to defend their homes. However, their efforts were destined to be in vain. The armies in southern Africa would be more restrained. Sudan of Najd
The U.S. military would not do that. They used the most brutal methods to treat the guerrillas, and the route from Baghdad to Damascus was almost reduced to no man's land.
While the Sultanate of Najd and the coalition forces in southern Africa were progressing smoothly, the Southern African Expeditionary Force, which was still fighting fiercely with the Germans in Flanders, was facing unprecedented difficulties.
After the First Battle of Ypres, almost everyone had a clear understanding of the world war. The war would definitely not end in 1913.
There are only two people left who still insist that victory is possible in a short period of time, one is Joffre, the commander-in-chief of the French army, and French, the commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force.
The French army lost 50,000 people in the First Battle of Ypres. Joffre was not discouraged, thinking that maybe the next attack would break through the German defenses.
Although the front line is actually in a stalemate, Xiafei still firmly believes that the attack can win the victory. As long as the weak areas of the German positions are discovered, Xiafei will order the troops to launch an attack. Therefore, although the large-scale battle has stopped, the fighting has continued.
happened, Xiafei called this tactic "eating slowly and in small bites". In fact, it was just a tactic to add fuel to the fire. It had no effect on changing the situation of the war. On the contrary, it would increase the casualties of the British and French allied forces.
Ferenzi sought command of more troops in London.
The millions of new soldiers recruited by Kitchener after the outbreak of the World War are finally being trained. Some of the newly formed troops after the World War are composed of experienced veterans. These troops have arrived in France in advance and participated 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, the Canadian Army, and the Indian Army, French was still not satisfied and hoped to gain command of more troops. He was also a "quick victory"
Supporters of "Theory" and "Offensive First" firmly believed that the German army was at the end of its tether, and as long as Kitchener sent more troops to the Western Front, the British and French forces could win the victory.
Kitchener, however, considered the whole thing. For French, the Western Front was the whole thing, but for Kitchener, the Western Front was just a part of the war.
Winston also hopes to get more troops. He has always wanted to open up new battlefields and let the Royal Navy play a greater role. November 5th was a tragic day. On this day, the battleship "Dreadnought" was attacked by a German submarine in the English Channel.
In the attack, 546 naval officers and soldiers were killed.
The "Dreadnought" battleship is the first ship of the Dreadnought-class battleship, the first battleship in the world to use a unified main gun, and the first battleship driven by a steam turbine.
Today, with the rapid development of battleship technology, the "Dreadnaught" battleship has become a huge tragedy, falling behind even before it was put into service.
Even so, the "Dreadnought" battleship 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 to take revenge and selected Dardani.
For this purpose, Winston ordered the Australian and New Zealand troops to stand by in Alexandria, preparing to launch an attack on Constantinople.
After the outbreak of the World War, both Australia and New Zealand carried out general mobilization for war. Australia, with a total population of 5.5 million, prepared to mobilize 500,000 troops to support Europe. However, troop mobilization took time, so only less than 30,000 Australian and New Zealand troops arrived in Alexandria.
To capture Constantinople, the capital of the Ottoman Empire, 30,000 men were obviously not enough, so Winston also hoped to get more troops to capture Constantinople, control the Dardanelles Strait, and open up the connection between the Mediterranean and the Black Sea.
passage between the two countries, connecting it with the Russian Empire.
After Adam Company became Britain's oil supplier, the oil from the Russian Empire and Romania was no longer indispensable to Britain, but the grains produced by the Russian Empire were urgently needed by Britain, and southern Africa could provide Britain with a variety of meat.
Supplies of poultry eggs and grains had to be imported from the Russian Empire.
Through the Battle of the Marne and the Battle of Ypres, the southern African army showed strong combat effectiveness and became the most capable force on the entire Western Front. Therefore, both Joffre and French hope that the southern African army can fight in the next stage.
Play a greater role in combat.
Southern Africa did perform well after the World War. In early November, another 50,000 reinforcements arrived in France. These troops will supplement the African divisions that suffered heavy losses. The six African divisions will return after the New Year.
to the battlefield.
Also arriving in France was the 1st Artillery Division. The Artillery Division is equipped with three regiments, equipped with 36 150mm caliber howitzers and 72 120mm caliber howitzers. The howitzers use the latest breech block technology and can fire four rounds per minute.
, each shell of the 120mm howitzer weighs 31 kilograms, and the shell of the 150mm howitzer weighs 45 kilograms.
Although Germany also has larger caliber heavy artillery, for current field troops, 120 and 150 are enough.
