As the sound of machine gun fire gradually stopped, this massacre-like battle came to an end. Accompanied by Ma Biao personally, Ibn Saud endured fear and nausea and took several of his men into the valley.
They stepped on the corpses one after another and searched carefully.
Of course, there is actually no need to search, Abdul Aziz is not dead yet! The emir was kneeling on the ground with a calm face and praying non-stop, even when Ibn Saud walked up to him
Neither of them raised their heads.
"Your Highness, it's up to you to decide how to deal with him." Ma Biao said with a smile.
At Ibn Saud's age, it was still difficult to understand the traps involved. He had always been filled with unforgettable hatred for the royal family of Jebel Shamal who had seized his territory and forced him to flee and live under the shelter of others at a young age.
What Nian looked forward to most was to kill all their men and then turn all the women in their family into his slaves. Now that he finally got his wish, what are you waiting for!
He was so excited that he waved behind him, and two of his men immediately stepped forward and grabbed Abdulaziz, who had fallen into a fantasy world, and pushed him to the ground. Ibn Saud personally took out a scimitar and pointed it at his neck.
Poke it in, watch the blood pouring out of his mouth, and cut his head while laughing wildly with excitement.
Poor Abdul Aziz only came to his senses at this time. He struggled angrily and in vain, looking at the earth close at hand with eyes full of despair, and his throat choked with blood made a strange sound.
, but soon there was no movement.
Ibn Saud was a master of craftsmanship, and it took him almost two minutes to cut off his head. Carrying the crowned head, His Highness looked up to the sky with arrogance and roared, leaving Ma Biao next to him speechless.
He is just a chief of a small tribe, is that all?
After this battle, the elite of the Shamar people were almost completely lost. According to the original plan, Mabia should continue to march north. However, before they could take a breath, the radio station accompanying the army received a telegram from Riyadh.
Grand Sharif Ali of Mecca, leading an army of 5,000 men, is marching towards Riyadh under the pretext of mediating the war between the Rashid family and the Saud family.
At this time, the Hijaz region was still under the direct rule of the Ottoman Empire, but in fact it was only in name. Hamid II had no control over those distant chiefs. Especially Ali, who was the guardian of Mecca as a descendant of the saint.
He has huge influence in the Arab world. In fact, he is the leader of the Arabs in the Hijaz region. He is not a good guy. After receiving Abdul Aziz's request for help, he immediately realized that this was a man who annexed Riyadh.
It was a good opportunity to use the banner of mediation to gather the chiefs from all over the Hijaz. He took advantage of Ibn Saud's northward journey to raid their hometown. Of course, what he didn't know was that he had not yet left Mecca, and he was here.
Employees of JY Company notified Riyadh by telegram, and then Riyadh notified Ma Biao.
After receiving the news, the Sino-Saudi coalition forces, which did not even clean up the battlefield, immediately turned around and returned to Riyadh covered in dust, waiting to face Ali's coalition forces.
But Ma Biao is not stupid. He knows that if he fights Ali, it will basically be equivalent to starting a war with the entire Arab world. Yang Feng's goal is to control the scope of the war to the restoration of Saudi Arabia. At least for the time being, he has no interest in fighting with the Arabs.
There was a falling out, so he quickly sent a telegram to notify Kuwait, and Kuwait immediately forwarded it to Fuzhou.
This problem is not difficult to solve. After receiving the telegram, Yang Feng immediately contacted Istanbul and once again stated to Hamid II that his intention was only to restore the Saudis and hoped that he would come forward to restrain the Arabs of Hijaz as the caliph.
.
Hamid II quickly gave him a reply, on the condition that the war between the two sides would end and the Saudis would get Riyadh. But the Shamal people would still retain Qassim and the northern territories. Yang Feng had no objection to this. The Saudis
Oil is concentrated on the coast of the Persian Gulf, and he has no interest in the few oases elsewhere.
After receiving Yang Feng's guarantee, Hamid II immediately issued orders to Ali in his dual capacity as Ottoman emperor and caliph. At the same time, the British who received Yang Feng's benefits also issued a warning to Ali. They were originally interested.
Ali, who was eager to take advantage of the situation, had no choice but to withdraw angrily. However, once his greed was aroused, it would be difficult to take it back. The saint's greedy eyes were fixed on Riyadh from then on.
After Ma Biao and Ibn Saud returned to Riyadh, they received the news of Ali's withdrawal. Of course, they also received Yang Feng's order to stop the war. Although it was a bit regretful, Ibn Saud also knew that it would be very easy for him to recapture Riyadh.
That's good, at least don't think too much about it for the time being. Besides, there are still some small tribes in the east that he needs to conquer.
Then, under the temptation of Ma Biao, this guy put the head of Abdulaziz he brought in a wooden cage and hung it at the gate of Riyadh, announcing to the Arab world the prince's great achievement of killing his enemies with his own hands. Then the two of them
He led his army east to clean up those small tribes. He didn't know what kind of uproar his move would cause in the Arab world. To be honest, wars over turf like this are not a big deal. We have been fighting each other for hundreds of years.
You are used to beating him, but it is outrageous for you to insult the corpse of a king in this way. For a while, all Arab countries became wary of this guy.
Ma Biao and Ibn Saud basically conquered the small tribes in the east without any blood. They just went to declare their dominance. The population of those small tribes may not be as large as theirs. How could they have the courage to compete with this large army? In the end
The two of them fought all the way to Dammam on the shores of the Persian Gulf. In this way, the Saudi family's battle to restore the country came to an end. Further south, it was a British protectorate. Next, Ma Biao left 500 people to help Ibn
Saudi Arabia guarded Riyadh, and the remaining main forces retreated back to Kuwait.
At this time, after difficult discussions and facing the severe situation that the hurricane season was about to pass, the U.S. Congress finally agreed to Yang Feng's trade request, in exchange for the Aleutian Islands and Midway Islands, in exchange for Yang Feng's exports to them, including torpedoes.
All weapons included.
"I can export, but I also have to go through a third country. I will never do anything that violates the neutrality law, and this third country can only be Turkey." Yang Feng said to Tian Bei directly.
Well, Tian Bei was mentally prepared for this. Just as the two sides were urgently solving the formalities for the Aleutian Islands and Midway Islands, negotiations between the Americans and the Turkish government in Istanbul also began. This kind of fall from the sky
His good deeds almost made Hamid II faint with joy. He had just slaughtered the Spaniards, and now the Americans came to his door again. Of course, because the US government’s accusations against His Majesty the Emperor some time ago made him very angry, so Hamid II
After waiting for the Americans for a week, they reluctantly started negotiations with the Americans under Yang Feng's persuasion. As for the price, it was very simple. Both torpedoes and artillery were of the same standard. The price was doubled. This price directly made the Americans dumbfounded.
.
After much talk, Hamid II finally reduced the price increase to 70%, and he was determined not to lower it any further. If you Americans don't want to, just find someone else. His agent was appointed by Yang Feng. If Yang Feng doesn't agree, the United States will also
There was no one else to look for! In the end, I had no choice but to hold my nose and agree to Hamid II’s blackmail. Soon, two high-speed cargo ships sailed from Sweden with fifty sets of torpedo launchers and two hundred torpedoes, plus five thousand
Submachine guns, one thousand light machine guns, two hundred Bofors 75mm rapid-fire field guns, plus supporting ammunition were sent to Istanbul.
The Swedish government does not agree to ship arms from Swedish ports, and Yang Feng does not agree to ship them from Chinese ports. In this way, they do not have to worry about the reputation of violating the neutrality law, so they can only be shipped from Turkish ports. Anyway, Hamid II also
Don't care about reputation or anything.
"Inform Canovas and tell him that if the war does not end within two months, then they will prepare to lose Cuba." Just when this batch of arms arrived in Istanbul, Prince Yang said to his little secretary.
The goal of this product is to make the Americans pay the price of losing Hawaii, Midway Island, and the Aleutian Islands, and after spending countless wronged money, they will end up with nothing. Not only will they not get Cuba, but they will also suffer heavy losses.
The land lost the war.
Thinking of this ending, this guy smiled happily.
"My heart was hollowed out, my strength was exhausted, but I lost to God's will!" Prince Yang sang gloatingly while looking out the window.
After receiving Yang Feng's telegram, Canovas immediately became nervous. He naturally understood what it would mean to the Spanish army in Cuba once these arms were shipped to the United States. At the same time as the diplomatic negotiations, the Spanish government announced that its navy would block the Strait of Gibraltar.
Turkish merchant ships transporting arms to the United States are prohibited from passing through.
The Americans discovered with grief and indignation that they had been cheated by Yang Feng again, but at this point, they had no other choice but to take the Indian Ocean and Pacific routes eastward. But in this case, they would have to take care of the British and French.
It doesn't matter. Anyway, they have already arranged for more than one company for this batch of arms. It doesn't matter how many more they have. The key is time. The two Turkish merchant ships are old-fashioned steam ships, taking this route from the distant Middle East to the United States.
It is estimated that it will take at least two months, and after arriving in the United States, it will have to be transported across the entire American continent from the west coast to the east coast. It will be a blessing for the US military on the front lines to see this batch of arms after three months.
Now that the hurricane season is coming to an end, the Spanish fleet in the Port of Santiago will not wait quietly for these three months.
