Chapter 988 In the Name of the Prince (Second update, please subscribe)

In the desert, in the vast, endless desert, a group of people are waiting for something.
Lawrence, wrapped in a white Bedouin robe and a white turban on his head, looked helplessly at the faint yellow dust behind him. He squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky. The scorching sun was still hanging high in the southwest sky, and it was still early for the sun to set!
Licking his cracked lips, Lawrence subconsciously clasped his hands and looked into the distance. The clear sky was without even a cloud.

"Mr. Lawrence, where is the friend you mentioned?"

Ali asked curiously.

"They'll be here soon, Chief."

Three months ago, Lawrence came here, entered the desert, and came into contact with these chiefs. Just as he had imagined, these chiefs were all full of hostility towards the Saudi family - after all, they were loyal to the Hashemite family, and they had been suppressed in the past thirty years.

"Will His Royal Highness really come back?"

another chief asked.

"From the day they left this land, they have been eager to return here."

Lawrence said, looking at the chiefs around him.

"From Jordan to Iraq, they will stand by the prince, the noble sheikh!"

is this real?
It is not important, just like when William Henry McMahon, the British High Commissioner to Egypt, provided cash and weapons to the Sharif of Mecca, Hussein ibn Ali from the Hashemite family, and promised to establish a unified Arab state with Damascus as its capital after the war and recognize him as the King of Arabia.

It's just empty promises, and it doesn't matter at all whether Jordan and Iraq will join the 6. What matters is that they will be provided with cash and weapons.

While the chiefs were talking in low voices, suddenly, someone with sharp eyes pointed to the sky in the distance and shouted.

"Look, a plane!" Soon, a large plane with a wingspan of dozens of meters descended from the sky - it was a super giant plane. A large transport plane with six engines, it could transport dozens of tons of supplies. It was once the star of the "Berlin Airlift".

Although the "Super Giant" has become a bit old now, it is still very competent as a transport aircraft.

Under the gaze of the people, the "Super Giant" landed directly on the Gobi Desert. This is not even an airport, but it can still land smoothly, which is its advantage.

Soon, the people riding camels surrounded the giant plane, and as they watched, the door at the nose of the plane was opened.

These people on horseback looked into the cabin, only to see that it was filled with cargo piles covered with cloth. At this time, Lawrence walked over. After a brief communication with the other party, he walked to the cargo piles and forcefully lifted the canvas on top.

In an instant, everyone gasped, and what appeared before them was a pile of rifles.

"Chiefs, this is the prince's gift to you!"

……

"98 K1000K rifles, 42 rifle bullets... 100 MG1000 light machine guns, Type mortars, mortar shells, kilograms of explosives, a radio station..."

Inside the tent, the translator read the long gift list in his hand in a loud voice. The tribal chiefs who were sitting on the ground listened to the gifts the prince gave them, most of them with expressionless faces. Although these chiefs were not rich, they would not take such small gifts seriously.

Lawrence looked at the chiefs present calmly. Seeing their disapproving expressions, he knew that they thought the gifts were too little. So he stood up and said to the chiefs present:

"Chiefs, this is only the first batch of gifts that the prince has sent to you. In the future, the prince will send you more gifts. This is just a small beginning to enrich the strength of the chiefs. You should know that this is just the beginning, and the prince does not know what you urgently need, so I did not bring more gifts this time. If you have any needs, you can tell me, I can contact the prince, and I can send the materials you need as soon as possible. What do you think? Of course, in order to show that we are sincere in maintaining friendly relations with you, there are some gifts here for the princes themselves..."

Hangers, who was standing outside the tent, heard Lawrence calling him, and he walked in carrying a suitcase.

After hearing what Lawrence said translated by the translator, the chiefs turned their heads to see what gifts Lawrence had brought them.

Forty years ago, their ancestors, under the instigation of Lawrence, followed the Hashemite family to resist the Ottoman dictatorship and launched the Arab Revolt. Although they failed to establish the country promised by Lawrence, they followed the Hashemite family to establish the Kingdom of Hejaz. However, they were finally defeated by the Saudi family and returned to the desert again.

Now the prince is coming back!
When Lawrence opened the box, the Arab chiefs sitting around him leaned forward and followed his movements. After seeing what was in the box, they were all surprised. "Ah!"

The box was filled with pounds - unlike other places, the pound had a greater influence in this land. Looking at the pounds in the box, the chiefs' eyes showed greed.

"Because I don't know what everyone will like, the prince has prepared 20 pounds for each chief!"

When these chiefs, wearing robes and turbans, heard the price of two hundred thousand pounds, their eyes revealed greed and excitement.

"You are so kind, Prince!"

For a moment, all the chiefs looked very excited. They said they were polite, but their hands were not polite. Everyone took the box actively.

£20!
This is much more than the subsidies that the Saudi family gives to the tribe - Riyadh only gives 20,000 to 30,000 pounds in subsidies each year.

What can you do with such a small amount of money?

Now the prince is offering two hundred thousand pounds! How can they not be excited by such a big sum?

"In addition, the prince promised everyone that after overthrowing Riyadh's rule, the profits of the oil fields will be shared by the royal family and the sheikhs!"

What is a bad check?

This is a blank check. For Lawrence, all he needs is to give "big gifts" to these chiefs. As for whether these gift packages can be cashed, that is not important.

What matters is that they will start an uprising, an uprising to retake the Kingdom of Hejaz.

Faced with such a blank check, the chiefs were excited but did not lose their minds. They whispered to each other for a while and then said.

"Riyadh's army has tanks and planes, what do we have?"

"You will get all of this, too, and..."

The chiefs stood up involuntarily and watched Lance take a tube from someone else.

Then I heard him say:
"This is the Panzerfaust I anti-tank rocket."

Lawrence introduced the rocket launcher to them.

"All tanks are vulnerable in front of it. This is currently the most advanced anti-tank weapon in the world."

Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is just a little bit. The Iron Fist I anti-tank rocket was developed by Nanyang based on the Iron Fist tank rocket. When developing this anti-tank rocket, Li Yian gave a lot of suggestions. In fact, the suggestions were just reference to the RPG 7 anti-tank rocket.

In another world, the RPG 7 anti-tank rocket is the most widely used anti-tank weapon in the world, but it is not perfect. For example, its accuracy is very touching. This is due to design problems - its rocket is too long, which makes it easily affected by crosswinds.

Therefore, when designing the Iron Fist Type 60, Li Yian specifically requested that the caliber be 7mm, which is a 40% increase compared to the 50mm caliber of the RPG anti-tank rocket. This also shortens its length by one third, thereby reducing the impact of crosswinds and improving accuracy.

This tank rocket with an armor-piercing thickness of more than 400 mm is definitely one of the most advanced weapons of this era. Now, this weapon has been provided to these sheikhs, allowing them to fight against Saudi tanks.

Soon, under the gaze of the chiefs, Lawrence carried the rocket launcher, aimed at the heavy steel target in front of him, and fired a rocket.

Amidst the violent explosion, the steel plate was pierced.

Facing the pierced steel plates, the chiefs all looked at the anti-tank rocket in bewilderment. In an instant, they were conquered by this powerful weapon...
