Chapter 1003 The King Will Also Be Inflated (First Update, Please Subscribe)
In the Middle East, the most conservative country is undoubtedly Saudi Arabia.

So which country is the most radical militarily?

Unexpectedly...it's still Saudi Arabia. Contrary to what many people imagine, Saudi Arabia has always been very radical in updating its military equipment. To be precise, they have enjoyed dividends.

After World War I, Saudi Arabia imported a batch of Mark V tanks from Britain. A few years later, relying on those dozen tanks, the Saudi army swept through the Hejaz and defeated the Hejaz cavalry. Facing the dead bodies on the ground, the Saudi chiefs who originally thought that tanks were scrap metal remained silent.

Saudi Arabia, having tasted the sweetness of tanks, subsequently purchased large quantities of tanks and armored vehicles. Three or four years later, the Kingdom of Yemen declared war on Saudi Arabia. Faced with Yemen's mighty army of tens of thousands, with the support of Britain, Saudi Arabia concentrated hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles, and swept the battlefield with machine guns and cannons. In just a few days, it seized large tracts of land in Yemen, forcing Yemen to sign a humiliating treaty, ceding large tracts of land to Saudi Arabia and at the same time recognizing Britain's occupation of southern Yemen.

In front of the tank, the scimitar, the Arabian horse and the camel are all insignificant.

The victory in the two world wars led Saudi Arabia to a completely different path. Shortly after the end of World War II, Saudi Arabia imported more than 200 tanks from Britain in the form of scrap metal, most of which were Churchill infantry tanks.

One of the most important reasons why Saudi Arabia chose it instead of the M4 tank is that it is slow enough. The speed of more than ten kilometers is just right for the cavalry to march. Maybe the era of scimitar cavalry is over, but the Arabs will not give up the Arabian horse.

After the war broke out, the road leading to Jeddah was filled with such teams - Churchill infantry tanks, surrounded by teams of cavalry, marching towards Jeddah. The tanks and cavalry appeared in the sight of the Phantom high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, rolling up dust.

So, in the Yemeni army headquarters, the defense consultants of the Black Knight Company wearing Yemeni military uniforms discussed it for a moment and proposed to King Yahya to launch an air strike.

King Yahya appeared very supportive of the advice of his advisers, he said.

"Gentlemen, as I said before, I will give you all my troops if you can defeat the Saudis!"

At the beginning of this year, when those people came to him and heard their purpose, King Yahya hit it off with them. After all, more than 20 years ago, his father was defeated by Saudi Arabia and forced to sign an unequal treaty. If it were not for Britain's obstruction, they might have lost their kingdom like the Hejaz royal family.

On the way out of the palace, Shao Yun looked at the silent Du Changwu and asked.

"Sir, are we really going to help them defeat the Saudis?"

Du Changwu, who was resting with his eyes closed, said, "Hmm,"

"The purpose of our coming here is not to help them achieve anything, but to fulfill the orders from home. The orders from home are very clear, just inflict heavy damage on them, so let's do it!"

In fact, this opportunity is just right, which can not only satisfy the domestic situation, but also make the Yemenis feel that their money is worth spending. Of course, for them, this is also a learning process. Through such actual combat, their command ability and experience have been improved.

"What about after they inflict heavy damage on the Saudi army? Will they want to press on with their victory? After all, people's ambitions will expand."

Listening to Shao Yun's question, Du Changwu just pursed his lips and said:
"At that time, our contract will be completed! The rest depends on their own people..." After saying that, he looked out of the car window. Looking at the quaint city outside the window, the corners of his mouth raised slightly. If they leave, can these people still maintain those weapons and equipment?
……

"Father, are we really going to hand over the entire army to them now?"

Prince Balder, who had been following his father, asked after the advisors left the palace.

"They are just a bunch of pagans. Even if we give them the army to command, what can they do?"

said King Yahya, smoking a hookah.

"The most important thing now is to defeat those Bedouins. More than 20 years ago, Saudi armored forces fought all the way to Sana'a. From that day until the day he died, my father was still thirsting for revenge, revenge..."

Casting his gaze into the distance, King Yahya said.

"Now it's not just revenge. We also want to seize Saudi Arabia's land and their oil fields. With oil, we can buy all kinds of weapons like them, those foreigners..."

Retracting his gaze, looking at the air conditioner sent by foreigners, feeling the cool breeze from it, and feeling the power of science, King Yahya raised the corner of his mouth and said:
"The reason why they support us and even provide us with a lot of funds is because of this reason. Badr, we must first become friends with those infidels, and then use them to defeat Saudi Arabia. After we seize the oil fields, it will be our turn to make the decisions. Now we are just hiring them to do things for us."

"I understand, Father."

Prince Balder nodded and said.

"They are just a group of mercenaries. We are learning from them now, just like those European mercenaries taught us how to fly airplanes in the past."

In fact, in the Arabian Peninsula, they have always had the habit of using foreign mercenaries. Even the tank drivers of the Saudi armored forces were a group of British. Now, in the eyes of King Yahya, those defense consultants from the Black Knight Company are just a group of guys who come and go at will and work for money.

"Yes, Badr, you have to follow them and learn from them. In fact, fighting is not difficult. In the past, we Arabs almost conquered half of the world. Now as long as we learn to use those advanced weapons and learn their tactics through this battle, we will soon be able to defeat all enemies like them and unify the whole of Arabia!"

People's ambitions will expand, and faced with the victory news from the front line, King Yahya couldn't help but lose his mind.

In his view, modern warfare was nothing big, and now his soldiers, his generals and officers had mastered the so-called modern warfare technology through several months of study and training.

Otherwise, his army would not have performed so well. Seeing the upcoming victory, the king even dreamed of unifying Arabia...
