s: I’m too lazy to split it into two chapters, so I’m posting the 6,500-word chapter together.
Today is the last day of this month.
If you keep the tickets, you won’t have any babies.
Give them to me, I want them.
The Ottoman Empire began to rule Arabia in the 16th century.
In the 19th century, Britain and other European powers invaded one after another, and Ottoman rule began to decline greatly.
By the mid-19th century, the Ottoman Empire was no longer able to directly rule these places, and began to appoint local Arab nobles as governors, pashas, and emirs to manage themselves.
By the beginning of the 20th century, these forces had become too large and had become semi-independent forces.
Although the British occupied a lot of places here, they were not interested in ruling this place.
Because there were only sand and dates here at that time, there was not much profit.
Naturally, there was no motivation for things without profit, so the British were listless.
Were it not for the purpose of containing the Ottomans, they would not even have established power here.
Because there is no head start here, Niu Niu is not very willing to end the game directly on their own, and they prefer to use agents.
The Arabian Peninsula is now surrounded by the spheres of influence of various major powers, including the United Kingdom, France, and of course the Ottoman Empire, which entered the Arabian Peninsula very early.
Coupled with the Arab warlords, large and small, it can be said that the Arabian Peninsula is The forces of all parties are intertwined and the situation is very complex.
Because various forces in this area were fighting overtly and covertly, no one was convinced by anyone, and there was no absolute controlling force.
Mayasu's Dongqi Sect began to fish in troubled waters in this chaotic place.
The Dongqi faction was rich and capable of fighting.
They quickly killed and annexed some weak hostile forces and formed a local separatist force.
In the first few years, Mayasu's organization was just an emerging civil society group.
Although their purpose was relatively alternative, they were regarded as heretical by many conservative forces.
But this is nothing.
They can't defeat him anyway.
Even if they are heretics, they have to hold their noses and give in.
According to Mayasou's words, "We, the Arab People's Renaissance Front, are the most authentic organization and the organization that best serves the interests of the Arab people.
It is our manifest destiny to revive Arabia.
If you don't accept it, hit me."
However, although Mayassu is hostile to most conservative forces, he still has additional gains.
He was inadvertently recognized by enlightened forces such as the Alawites and Baha'is, and they even believed that the "Arab People's Renaissance Front" that suddenly appeared was their branch force.
Therefore, Mayasu simply increased its penetration into them.
In the face of overwhelming economic and force, these "heresies" were quickly integrated into the "Eastern Apocalypse".
On the other hand, he did not spare those conservative forces.
In areas where force could be invested, he used the method of purging the upper class and wooing the lower class to expand.
In areas where it is inconvenient to invest force, methods such as inciting masses to fight masses and deliberately provoking conflicts between different forces are used to make them fight each other.
On the other hand, they use the method of "pulling sheep" to compete with conservative forces for the people.
With a money bag in one hand and a gun in the other, the Arab Popular Renaissance Front is thriving in this chaotic land.
In just eight years, the Arab Popular Front's power has expanded rapidly.
The organization has expanded to Iraq, Jordan and the Arabian Peninsula, and controls a population of nearly 1 million.
It can be said that it is like a fish in water.
You must know that the total population of the Arab region at this time, excluding Africa, is only about 12.5 million.
There are so many various forces here, and a force of 1 million people can already be ranked in the top three, and this is only established.
What about emerging forces that are less than ten years old?
At the beginning, the Ottomans and the British also noticed this very active Arab People's Renaissance Front, but they did not pay attention to it.
The Ottoman Empire was powerless and simply pretended not to know.
Anyway, in their view, the British and the disobedient Arab warlords were also the ones who were unlucky.

This was a good thing that was so popular that when the Eastern Apocalypse was doing things all over Arabia, When the wind and rain came, they were very happy about the misfortune.
The attitude of the British was even more unrestrained.
Regarding the activity of the Arab Popular Front, Niu Niu said that it was none of my business.
In the opinion of this veteran troublemaker, the more chaotic the Middle East is, the better.
As long as the black hand extended by Osman can be cut off, it doesn't matter which force is in power.
Anyway, this place that has no eggs will not make big waves no matter how hard it is. .
Because let's face it, this place is a piece of shit.
Even if anyone can unify the entire Arabian Peninsula, it will still be a poor country and not worthy of attention at all.
Moreover, Mayasu is also very sensible.
After beating up the surrounding forces and showing his strength, he expressed goodwill to the British colonial authorities.
He stated that the Ottoman Empire was a heretic and was willing to assist Britain against the Ottomans.
The UK is happy to have multiple thugs.
Although they also support a few local agents, it is also a good thing to have one more thug.
Anyway, a sheep is being driven and a group of sheep is being herded.
What does it matter?
So not only will the UK not Weakening the power of Mayassu will, on the contrary, support the Eastern Apocalypse in military, economic and political terms, making it a vanguard in resisting and suppressing the Ottoman Empire.
As for conflicts between agents, that is what the British would like to see.
If these agents are really as close as one family, they will be worried.
By 1913, the Arab Popular Front had firmly controlled southern Iraq, parts of the Kurdish region, and the northeastern part of the peninsula, and the population controlled by the organization increased to 500,000.
At this time, China also obtained a direct jurisdiction over the Gulf, which happened to border the Arab Popular Front for Renaissance.
Now, the development of the Arab Popular Front is unstoppable.
A large amount of weapons, food, medicine and various living supplies were continuously delivered to Mayasu through the Gulf Territory.
At this time, Mayasou announced as a great mentor: Scientific socialism is an idea that is in line with Arab interests, and secularization and scientificization are the true path for the development of the Arab people.
At the same time, secularization and education to enlighten the people's wisdom began to be implemented in the ruled areas.
In October 1913, Mayasou formally established the Arab Baath Party based on the backbone of the Arab Popular Front.
After this news came out, the European and American powers burst into laughter.
Isn’t it funny that a group of bumpkins from the desert are actually playing the role of a modern political party?
A political party is such a high-end thing, how can you have fun with it?
The door is jammed.
This guy probably thought that political parties sounded very formidable, so he tried to imitate them.
But they never expected that this seemingly funny organization would actually inflate like a balloon, because a giant panda loomed behind them.
After the outbreak of World War I, Britain, France and other countries were too busy taking care of themselves and had no energy to take care of the affairs in the Middle East.
The Arab Baath Party developed like a wild horse running wild.
By 1915, they had organized a modern army of more than 8,000 people and controlled a population of more than one million.
They became the most powerful force on the peninsula and began to expand into the territory of the Saudi family.
Time goes back to Riyadh yesterday afternoon.
Riyadh is the home of the Saudi family.
The second Saudi kingdom was destroyed by the Rashid family in 1891.
The survivors of the Saud family fled abroad one after another, and Ibn Saud also fled abroad with his father and defected to the Emir of Kuwait.
It should be said that this classmate Ibn Saud is also very "pig-footed".
In 1902, the Saudi classmate formed a small restoration army and prepared to take back his ancestral land.
On a night with a crescent moon like a hook, Ibn Saud led more than 40 people from Kuwait and raided Riyadh.
They sneaked into the city of Riyadh, attacked and killed the Riyadh governor appointed by the Rashid family, and took control of the old base of the Saudi family.
This incident, which seemed like the plot of a YY novel, became Ibn Saud's life's work.
Then, Ibn Saud used Riyadh as his base, continued to expand his power to the surrounding areas, and took advantage of the conflicts between the Ottoman Empire and the British.

Finally, he became one of the British agents in the Arab region.
If the history of the original time and space is followed, Ibn Saud will soon be flying in the sky.
In 1913, with the support of the British, Ibn Saud launched a war against the Ottoman Empire, attacked the Al-Hasa region, and finally won, thus gaining access to the sea.
In this way, Ibn Saud's power formed a tripartite force with the Hejaz Kingdom of the Hashemite family in the west of the peninsula and the Rashid family in the north.
In 1915, Ibn Saud signed the Treaty of Uqair with the British and formed an alliance with the British against the Rashid family supported by the Ottoman Empire.
In 1921, he sent troops to attack the feuding Rashid family.
After half a year of siege, the city of Hail was captured.
The Rashid family surrendered, and Ibn Saud declared himself "Sultan of Najd and the areas to which it belongs".
If this ended, Ibn Saud had restored the territory and glory of his ancestors, but he was not satisfied.
Then in 1924, he attacked the Kingdom of Hijaz, captured Mecca, Medina and Jeddah, and drove away the Hashemite family.
Ibn Saud declared himself "King of Hijaz and Najd".
In 1927, the Treaty of Jeddah was re-signed with Britain.
The new treaty abolished British privileges and declared "complete and absolute independence" for the country led by Ibn Saud.
In 1932, he formally merged the two kingdoms of Hejaz and Najd into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, becoming an autocratic monarchy that combined politics and religion.
It can be said that Ibn Saud was really lucky, because external circumstances such as two world wars, the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire, and the British and American eagerness to find allies in the Arabian Peninsula all became favorable conditions for Ibn Saud to successfully establish his country.
With the balanced integration of all forces, not only did they regain the Kingdom of Najd, they also unified the Arabian Peninsula and established a new Arab country while maintaining relative independence.
The process of its rise is similar to the plot of YY novels, and it can be called the "Arab version of Long Aotian".
However, in this dimension, the "Arabian Dragon Aotian" who is full of "pig's feet" is not so smooth sailing.
The Hasa region that was supposed to be conquered by him was sold to China by the Ottoman Empire.
The Saudi classmates who had just prepared their troops were dumbfounded.
China was not as easy to bully as the Ottomans.
What's more, his master, Britain, was wooing China at this time and did not support him in starting a war with China.
Well, since there are other sites in the Al-Khasa region, if it doesn’t work here, let’s find another place to expand.
This little setback will not scare the Saudi students.
However, the magic stick named Abdullah Harun Mayassu who returned from the east became his nemesis.
At that time, the Arabian Peninsula, the coastal areas from the northeast to the southeast were the territory of the United Kingdom and China.
These areas were definitely untouchable.
The Hashemite family in the west was powerful and was also an agent raised by the British.
This was not Saudi Arabia can afford it.
Therefore, the only direction of expansion is the north.
The Rashid family in the north is not only a feud with Saudi Arabia, but also happens to be a pro-Ottoman force.
It is simply the best target to attack.
As for the Arab Baath Party, which is also in the north, it seems to have the support of the Chinese behind it, and it is also quite capable of fighting, at least it cannot be defeated by Saudi Arabia now.
So he sent an envoy to express goodwill to Mayasu, and claimed that he wanted to take revenge on the Rashid family, hoping that Mayasu would remain neutral.
Mayasu had an ambiguous attitude towards this, used magic sticks and said some ambiguous words.
He expressed the hope that they would not use force and that it would be best to resolve the dispute through negotiation.
The Saudi classmate became angry after receiving the reply.
Negotiate with your sister.
Who in the Arab region doesn't know that you always use guns and guns to negotiate with people?
Now that you have made enough money, you pretend to be a good person.
You are really a fool.
Because Mayasu stopped expanding outwards at the end of 1913, and turned to rectifying internal affairs, improving local organizations, and vigorously developing the economy.
He imported a lot of industrial equipment from China and established some factories.
He also introduced improved crops and livestock to develop modern agriculture.
According to Saudi students, this is a sign that they have earned enough.

Moreover, he himself is an agent of the British.
Presumably Mayasu would not dare to violate the tacit understanding between China and Britain and do anything excessive.
Saudi students who had been preparing for several years officially launched an attack on the Emirate of Jebel Al-Shammar, also known as the Emirate of Hail and the Emirate of Rashid, ruled by the Rashid family in early June this year.
At the beginning of the war, the Saudi students showed their aura of pig feet, defeating the Rashid family's army in several consecutive battles, and soon reached the city of Hail, the capital.
The Rashid family quickly sought help from everywhere, including the Baath Party.
But just when Saudi Arabia was about to win, Mayasu, who had been a "good boy" for the past few years, moved.
The Baath Party only left 1,000 people to look after the country, and the remaining more than 7,000 officers and soldiers came out to stab the Saudi army in the back.
Well, Mayasu’s reasons are also very good.
First of all, Saudi Arabia, this naughty kid, did not listen to his own advice and started a war without authorization.
Secondly, the Rashid family also asked for help, and he could not ignore it.
Subsequently, under attacks from the Arab People's Army and the Rashid family, the Saudi army suffered an unprecedented defeat.
After Saudi Arabia was defeated, Mayasu led the coalition forces to pursue them slowly.
Everywhere they went, they purged all the local forces and supporters of the Saudi family.
By the day before yesterday, the coalition forces had already entered the city of Riyadh.
After two days of rest, the coalition forces now began to officially launch an attack on the city.
At this time, the city of Riyadh was tightly surrounded by the coalition forces.
Ibn Saud stood on the city wall, staring at the coalition forces outside the city with eyes filled with hatred.
His body was covered with dense bandages, almost like a mummy.
These were all injuries he sustained at the gate of Hail City.
His abdomen was blown open by a mortar shell from the People's Army, and his intestines flowed out, but he Fortunately, he managed to escape.
But a dozen brothers and cousins all died in the blocking battle in order to protect him.
"Why is this happening?
How dare they do this?"
Ibn Saud's face turned blue and white.
He still doesn't understand why he failed so miserably.
The Saud family is the head of an extremist sect and has offended many people in history, especially forces close to them.
In the past, when they were awesome, everyone was in trouble.
But now that they are on the street, there is no reason not to beat the drowned dog.
Now the coalition forces outside the city are not only Mayasu and Rashid's people, but also the Shias who have not dealt with them, and even some conservative sects.
Here too.
Looking at at least 30,000 troops outside the city, he felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
There was no way.
The main force of the Saudi family had already suffered all casualties at the gates of Hail City and in the subsequent blocking battle.
Although he started mobilizing after he came back, even if he tried his best, he could only recruit less than 4,000 people. .
Hail's disastrous defeat in the battle was a fatal blow to his own prestige and that of the Saudi family.
Many of the tribes that originally relied on him stopped sending people, and some even defected to the other side.
For these tribes, this kind of behavior is normal.
Who told you that the Saudi family is incompetent?
In the past, it was because of your strength that we obeyed you.
Now that you are on the street, do you want us to be buried with you?
Those who are still willing to follow him now are all relatives and die-hard supporters of his own family.
However, in the Battle of Hail, most of the young people of these backbone families were lost.
Most of the people who can still come to serve as defenders are Old, weak and young.
Moreover, in that fiasco, they lost almost all their baggage and most of their weapons.
Now this temporary team was seriously short of guns, and many of them were still holding cold weapons.

At this time, one of his nephews ran over with an ugly expression.
As soon as Ibn Saud saw his face, he knew something was wrong, but he still asked without giving up: "What do the British say?"
His nephew said with a pale face: "Uncle, the British said that we caused this matter ourselves and asked us to negotiate with the other party to resolve it.
They don't have the energy to take care of this matter now."
"Damn Brits," Ibn Saud spat angrily.
"Uncle, what should we do now to break out?"
Ibn Saud thought for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "It doesn't matter if we break out of the encirclement, and then go to the British territory.
We are here.
They can't ignore Hussein.
You go."
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom" Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a dull explosion.
He turned around and saw dozens of thick and long iron pipes on the coalition position, and now puffs of gunpowder smoke were rising from the mouths of the pipes.
He had seen this kind of weapon during the Battle of Hail.
It seemed to be a weapon called a mortar.
The injuries on his body were caused by this weapon.
He looked at the sky with experience and saw dozens of black spots falling rapidly.
"No, quickly hide away from the city wall and hide in the bunker."
He quickly shouted to his subordinates.
As he spoke, his guards quickly picked him up and hid in the bunker on the city wall.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom," dozens of 80 to 160 mortar shells roared down, making a deafening explosion.
The current defenders are not the elite they used to be.
Many of them have never even seen cannons and have no idea how to avoid them.
When the shells hit, many people were still in a daze, making them perfect targets.
With just one round of shelling, flesh and blood flew everywhere on the city wall, and countless broken limbs flew everywhere along with blood and sand.
"Well, the effect of this round is very good.
Keep shooting at the city wall at the normal rate of fire."
Behind the artillery position, Mayasu put down the telescope, nodded with satisfaction, and continued to order: "The demolition team is ready to blow up this city wall for me."
"Kouzi" Mayasu was wearing a desert camouflage military uniform, a military hat with a sunshade on his head, and a Chinese-made Type 09 pistol and an ornately decorated Arabian scimitar at his waist.
Mayasu is tall, with regular features and a light beard on his face.
He looks like a standard handsome Arab boy.
This thirty-five-year-old man is already a legend in the Arab world.
He is wise, powerful and full of charisma.
He is knowledgeable, intelligent, and eloquent.
Moreover, he has superb skills and extremely accurate marksmanship.
He can be said to be both civil and military, as well as wise and courageous.
At the same time, his will is firm and his methods are decisive.
No matter how you look at it, he is full of heroic character, more like a "pig's foot" than that Ibn Saud.
At this time, a group of soldiers carried several pipes thicker than mortars and quickly rushed towards the city wall.
Under the cover of artillery fire, they quickly arrived about 200 meters away from the city wall, and then quickly set up their things here.
"What is that?"
Ibn Saud saw this scene from the observation hole, but he didn't understand what those thick-faced pipes were.
But he knew that these were definitely not good things, so he immediately ordered his men to shoot at the busy coalition soldiers.
But as soon as his men stuck their heads out, the machine guns under the city rang out.
"Click, click, click."
There was a sound like tearing linen cloth, and several Saudi soldiers were beaten into sieves.

If you are a knowledgeable officer, you will know that these thick-faced tubes are something called explosive projectiles, or "heartless cannons."
Although the range is very short, it is great for demolishing houses.
Under the cover of machine guns and mortars, the demolition crew quickly set up the explosive ejector.
They first installed it into the circular isolation base plate, and then put in the square cylindrical explosive bag.
After setting the sight scale, it started bang bang bang.
Launched.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom," an earth-shattering explosion suddenly sounded on the battlefield.
Ibn Saud in the bunker felt a huge force coming from him, and he fainted in pain.
With just one salvo, a large hole was blown open in Riyadh's city wall and several bunkers were destroyed.
There is no way, it is difficult to find stone and clay in desert areas.
The city walls made of sand and soil are not very reliable and cannot withstand the blasting of high explosives.
Another volley from the explosive ejector expanded the gap by about 20 meters.
The surrounding defenders were either killed or stunned.
Now, Riyadh has opened itself up to coalition forces.
At this time, the coalition forces had also lined up and were preparing to enter the city.
Mayassu mounted an Arabian horse, drew his saber, and shouted to the coalition forces: "Today, we no longer distinguish between this faction and that faction, this tribe and that tribe; today, we have a common name, that is, Arabs" We are the defenders of this land.
Today we will crush the heretics who colluded with the British and destroyed holy objects and holy tombs.
Charge with me to defend our land and people and eliminate the evil heretic Allahu Akbar."
"Allahu Akbar" the coalition forces shouted slogans and followed Mayasu into Riyadh
