Expedition to Europe

After winning the support of Lan Fang, Faris's status in the Rashid family has been significantly improved.

In the past, Faris was just the most inconspicuous one among the many heirs of Ashlev. Although he was of noble status, he had no power and background, and did not hold any position in the family.

If there were no accidents, even if the Rashid family would not be destroyed, after a hundred years of Ashlev, the best outcome for Faris might be to be an idle prince and live his whole life like this.

Such a reality may make anyone with great ambitions feel desperate.

Faris is not yet thirty years old, but he can already predict the trajectory of his life, and it is the darkest one, which cannot but make people feel desperate.

There is a correct explanation for the word "crisis", that is, opportunities hidden in danger, and this opportunity is often reserved for those who are prepared.

The Rashid family is indeed facing a crisis now, and Faris is the one who seizes the opportunity.

After returning to Mecca and reporting all the details of the agreement signed with Lan Fang, Faris became the director of the Rashid family's external liaison office. The adjustment of this position shows many different things.

The external liaison office was originally a department that existed in name only. The Rashid family had cut off all foreign aid during the 20 years of fighting with the Aziz family, so this so-called "external liaison" was simply a place where there was no way to contact. After signing the agreement with Lan Fang, it was obvious that the power of this department would increase and even become popular. At this time, the appointment of Faris as the director of the external liaison office was a bit interesting.

You know, the previous director of the external liaison office was Faris's elder brother, Merzug.

Although Merzug was not satisfied with the arrangement of Merzug, he was helpless.

The Rashid family's external contacts made no progress when Mayrzug was in charge of the Foreign Liaison Office. It was because of Faris's efforts and persistence that Lan Fang supported them. Even if Mayrzug was dissatisfied, he had to keep it in his heart. Once he showed it and was criticized, Mayrzug would lose more than just a director position.

Although the Foreign Liaison Office was a department in name only, there were still some work to be handed over. On the night of the handover, Mayrzug invited the Emir to drink at his home.

Yes, drinking.

Although Persian doctrine explicitly prohibits drinking, for Persians, when basic life cannot be guaranteed, the prohibitions stipulated by the doctrine are not so "forbidden". Only when you have enough food can you know etiquette. Saudi Arabia is now poor and there are really few people who strictly abide by the doctrine. Of course, drinking is definitely not allowed in public. As long as it is not discovered, it doesn't matter.

Ordinary Persians can't get alcohol, but although the Rashid family is a bit down and out now, their ancestors were once rich, so it's not difficult for Merzug to get alcohol. Merzug and Emir usually don't drink too much. Just a few drinks are enough. If they drink too much and get drunk, they can't hide it.

But today's situation is obviously different. Merzug is not in a good mood. He drinks without restraint, one glass after another, and doesn't talk. He just drinks silently.

Emir has never seen Merzug like this.

After all, they are brothers. When Merzug opened the second bottle, Emir was firm: "Brother, you can't drink anymore."

"It doesn't matter, I'm not drunk, let me drink more." Merzug didn't intend to stop.

"Brother, you can't drink anymore, isn't it Faris? Don't worry, I'll kill him in a while." Emir understood Merzug's panic.

It must be said that although the former Maierzug did not treat Faris very affectionately, it was never to the point of being hostile to each other. It was just the relationship between brothers in a large family. Faris's sudden strength now has posed a serious threat to Maierzug's first inheritance. If Faris becomes the patriarch of the Rashid family in the future, it may not make any difference to other brothers, but it will definitely mean something different to Maierzug. At that time, even if Maierzug accepts it calmly, Faris may not let Maierzug go.

After all, Maierzug is Faris's eldest brother, and Maierzug's existence is a natural threat to Faris.

Since it is a hidden danger, it must be eradicated!

At least Maierzug thinks so.

"No, we can't kill him." Maierzug disagreed.

"Why?" Emir's character is straightforward, without many twists and turns, otherwise he would not have such a good relationship with Maierzug.

"You, with your character, you will suffer sooner or later." Maierzug looked at Emir with a complicated expression.

"Hey, don't we still have you?" Emir was not worried.

"We can't do anything now. The more we do, the more mistakes we will make. We are already at a disadvantage in winning the support of Lan Fang. If we make something wrong at this time, everything will be irreversible. If we don't make mistakes next time, then no matter how well Faris does, he will never get the position of patriarch." Maierzug is not stupid at all, and the smile on his face is a little cold.

It must be said that Ashlev brought Maierzug with him to teach him by example, which is very useful. Maybe Maierzug is not good at pioneering, but he has no problem in "maintaining the status quo".

"Then we will just watch Faris continue to be arrogant?" Emir was a little unwilling.

This is "envy, jealousy and hatred". If Faris was still the mediocre Faris, then Emir would still be friendly and respectful to his brother, but now Faris has begun to shine, which really makes Emir unwilling.

"What is this - Emir, you have to understand one thing, Faris is actually right, our Rashid family must survive first, and then other things will make sense, so our biggest enemy now is the Aziz family, and everything else can be put aside temporarily. After defeating the Aziz family, it is time for us to clean up the door." Mai Erzug is still rational.

"I'm afraid that by then it will be too big to be eliminated -" Emir's worry is also reasonable.

"What's the big deal - Faris can win the support of Lanfang, so can we. Lanfang people are indeed greedy, and their obsession with land has penetrated into their bones. Faris can use the Persian Gulf to gain the support of Lanfang, so can we. So don't care about the gains and losses of the moment, my brother, we should look at the long term." Maierzug has a plan, and he is not as eager to fight for every inch of land as he showed in front of Ashlev.

"Ha, that's right, the greedy Lanfang people are always easier to deal with than the stupid French." This time, the Emir agreed with Maierzug's statement.

The original text is in Liu # 9 @book/bar!

Before getting the support of Lanfang, Maierzug had personally asked the French, and he was still with the Emir. At that time, the French ignored Maierzug, and Maierzug did not even get the opportunity to meet the French governor in the Middle East. Maierzug was still open-minded about this matter, but the Emir was always upset.

"Come on, let's have a drink. You only need to remember one thing, my brother. What is yours will always be yours, and what is not yours will never be yours!" Maierzug opened the second bottle of wine and filled it up for Emir.

Maierzug's words seemed very philosophical, but in fact they were very problematic. In fact, nothing in this world is destined, and the two words "should" or "should not" are very mysterious in themselves.

According to Maierzug's statement, the son of a farmer can only be a farmer, the son of a merchant can only be a merchant, and the son of a king can only be a king.

Farmers and merchants are easy to say, but there must be more than one son of a king, and there is only one king, so there is a contradiction of "should" or "should not".

If someone gets what he wants after some effort, then those who don't work hard can say that the gains after the effort are destined, so those who don't work hard have a reason to continue to muddle along.

And if someone doesn't get what he wants after some effort, can it be said that the person has gained nothing?

No, at least you have gained the experience of failure, which increases the possibility of success in the next effort. If you keep accumulating like this, you will definitely succeed in the future.

Maierzug will definitely not explain this to Emir. Maierzug just wants Emir to act as his younger brother and do something that Maierzug is not convenient to do at a critical moment, so Maierzug's words are always specious.

What Maierzug said to Emir was soon written in front of Ashlev.

"Do you want me to give him a warning?" Nabil, Ashlev's younger brother and the second-in-command of the Rashid family, was a little angry.

The Rashid family has reached a life-and-death juncture, but the next generation of heirs still have the mind to intrigue, which makes Nabil really unacceptable.

"No, let them fight - the Rashid family does not need a mediocre helmsman. The future helmsman must have the ability to lead the Rashid family forward. This is also a test for them. Only the winner can enjoy the most beautiful feast." Ashlev is not going to interfere with the open and secret struggles between the Maierzug brothers.

"That should be after we defeat the Aziz family." Nabil put the overall situation first.

"That's for sure, so Maierzug didn't disappoint me too much." Ashlev's face was not very good either. If Maierzug wanted to deal with Faris just now, then Ashlev would let Maierzug serve the ancestors now.

"We can create the best conditions for them and let them show their abilities. In the process, they will naturally understand what they should do." Ashlev is the real cunning old man.
