Chapter 1005 Doomsday (rd update, please subscribe)

In the early morning, yellow sand was everywhere, and the sound of gunfire echoed in the city. Camel riders in white robes rushed into the city, firing their guns into the sky. Some of them held scimitars in their hands. On the narrow streets, there were also bodies of soldiers and policemen scattered around.

Just a few hours ago, thousands of Arab cavalry poured into Medina, firing their guns and telling the people of the city that the Holy Hashemite family had returned to Hejaz once again.

The news brought by these cavalrymen immediately caused the city to boil. Many people who had always been dissatisfied with the rule of the Saudi family rushed out of their homes, shouting the name of the Prophet. In fact, whether in Medina or Mecca, the local tribes were extremely contemptuous and looked down on the Saudi family.

Because the Saudi family has no history at all, they are just Bedouins in the desert.

In the traditional Arab perception, Bedouins can be bandits and robbers, but they can never be kings!
What's more, in the past thousand years, this place has always been ruled by the Holy Family. This was also the case during the Ottoman era. The Ottoman Sultan also recognized the Holy Family's rule over this land!
But the Saudi family that emerged from the desert actually drove the holy Hashemite family out of Hejaz and the Holy Land. This is simply unforgivable.

Of course, more importantly... their inner arrogance makes it difficult for them to look down on the Saudi family, who are of Bedouin origin. The Saudi family is also very aware of this, so they suppress them to the utmost and never consider them when it comes to benefits.

As a result, the conflict between the two sides became increasingly serious. After the news of Saudi Arabia's disastrous defeat near Jeddah came, many local tribes in Medina and other places saw the opportunity they had longed for!
They watched the joke from the sidelines during the Yemen offensive.

But when the news of the disastrous defeat in Jeddah came, the news of the Hashemite family's return also came. In addition to being surprised, they all realized that this was an opportunity to overthrow the rule of the Saudi family!

Of course, what is more important is to seize the oil fields controlled by them!
So, almost overnight, when the tribes outside the city sent soldiers to welcome the return of the Hashemite family, the families inside the city rose up and drove away the officials sent by Riyadh, defeated their military and police, and took away their weapons.

The change in the situation was completely beyond Riyadh's expectations. From the disastrous defeat on the front line to the restoration of the Kingdom of Hejaz, Riyadh was suddenly in a precarious situation. All this naturally aroused the royal family's dissatisfaction with the king. Under such circumstances, convening a royal meeting to discuss how to deal with the current crisis became a top priority.

"Aziz must be forced to resign. He has no idea how to run a country."

When faced with failure, someone always has to be responsible!

Almost everyone pointed the finger at the king who lacked the ability to govern the country. Of course, all of this was directly related to Faisal. Although Aziz was the eldest brother, the throne... should be held by the capable.

While Faisal and other royal elders were discussing how to depose the king, what they did not know was that a B29 bomber took off from Socotra Island and was heading towards Riyadh along the commercial route.

At 9 a.m. on September 28, at the royal palace in Riyadh, as soon as the royal meeting began, royal elders accused Aziz of incompetence.

"… As early as the beginning of the year, we had learned that the Yemenis were training their army. They not only purchased a large number of advanced weapons, but also hired foreign mercenaries. But you, King, did nothing and did not even consider it a threat. But what about now? Our army was defeated, tens of thousands of troops were lost on the "Death Highway", and even Medina and Mecca rebelled! The Hashemite family returned to Mecca from Jordan."

As soon as the elder finished speaking, the others responded with a shout of agreement, but Faisal, the prime minister of the kingdom, remained silent. Although he had been communicating with all parties over the past few days and had already reached a consensus, today... was the day to depose the king.

Of course, after deposing the king, he would personally lead the army to recover what had been lost and defeat the rebellious family.

"The restoration of the Hashemite family is not a problem. Our ambassadors to Iraq and Jordan have already sent telegrams. Both countries are unaware of this. We will soon recover Medina and Mecca. As for the Yemenis..."

Sensing the dissatisfaction of the royal elders and princes, Aziz explained:

“Although the Yemenis have temporarily gained an advantage on the battlefield, it is only temporary…” “Temporary? They have already gained an advantage…”

While they were arguing with each other, what the people in the palace did not know was that, more than ten kilometers in the sky, on the B29 bomber, the weapons operator had pressed a button, and the giant Thor glide bomb that was half exposed in the bomb bay, with a length of six meters, opened its folding wings the moment it was dropped. The bomb was like a small plane, whizzing towards the city of Riyadh.

At the same time, the images transmitted through the camera appeared on the TV screen in front of the weapon operator. The crosshairs on the screen shook from time to time, but under the control of the operator, it was still aimed at a building in the city, which was a building in the northeast corner of the palace. That building was where the royal meeting was held.

In a hotel room about 500 meters away from the palace, a European guest stared at the palace in the distance and said to himself:
"The targets should all be inside now!"

And inside that building, the royal elders and princes had begun the final siege of the king. They enumerated the king's incompetence one by one, and then spoke loudly.

"For the future of the country, I suggest deposing the king!"

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

The sudden dethronement left Aziz dumbfounded. He had imagined various possibilities, but never thought that Faisal would seize power at this time.

"Faisal, my brother, you must know that now is the time when foreign enemies are at our head,"

Aziz turned his gaze towards his brother and questioned loudly.

"What are you doing? Are you planning a coup?"

“No, like they said, it’s for Saudi Arabia, for our family!”

Just as Faisal finished his words, he heard a sound coming from the air, a sound like thunder, which was rare in Riyadh's weather.

Could it be Zhenzhu's revelation?

No, this is science - a bomb weighing nearly six tons, dropped from an altitude of 9000 meters, quickly broke the sound barrier under the action of gravity, and emitted a thunderous whistling sound.

At the moment when its sound shook the whole city, the bomb accurately hit the building where the meeting was being held. It smashed through the dome of the building like a wall-demolishing machine, and directly collapsed the building. Many people in it were buried directly in the rubble. Before they could react, suddenly, a violent explosion sounded from underground. Several tons of explosives directly turned into a rocket, pushing the entire building into the sky.

Amid the billowing smoke, almost half of the Arabian-style palace was razed to the ground, and the entire city was deeply shocked by the violent explosion.
