1890 King of Southeast Asia

The Levant region includes several regions including Palestine, Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon. After the war began, the Huaxia Empire occupied most of the territory in the Levant region and placed it under the jurisdiction of the Arab Governorate.

The war front advanced to Birejik. Zheng Lei, as the commander of the theater, also arrived at the rear of Birejik to command. He was unable to manage the vast areas of Arabia and Mesopotamia, which were originally under the jurisdiction of the Arab Governorate.

Therefore, in the last two days of 1917, Liu 1ming reorganized the Arab Governorate. The Arab Governorate was divided into three regions, namely the Mesopotamia Region, the Arab Region, and the Levant Region.

The Arab Governorate was retained as the temporary superior institution of the Levant Region. In the Arab Governorate, it was the Governorate-Region-Construction Corps or City-County or Town.

In addition, in addition to the traditional Eastern Mediterranean region, Liu 1ming also included Cyprus in the jurisdiction of the Levant Region.

Of course, this is just an internal announcement. It is claimed that there is only level 3 construction, and it appears in the name of a military structure.

The Arab region and the Mesopotamian region are both areas where the Huaxia Empire has been operating for a long time, and they have basically remained stable. The Levant region is a newly occupied area, and people who make trouble appear from time to time.

Jerusalem.

At this time, Jerusalem has semi-recovered to a peaceful state. The Arab elders or imams in the city have either gone to see Allah or superficially recognized the rule of the Huaxia Empire.

Throughout the Levant region, especially in the poorest mountainous areas and the richest cities, Arab rebels appear from time to time.

Many of these people come from tribes whose elders or imams died at the hands of the Sixth Army of the Empire, but behind them are the tribal elders who survived by being submissive on the surface.

The Sixth Army of the Empire knows, but has not taken any action for the time being.

In the Arab direction, a large Islamic delegation has set off. After these obedient people arrive, the tribal leaders will be directly liquidated, and then the obedient imams will integrate the remaining Arabs.

Without restricting their religious freedom, Arabs can still accept being ruled by outsiders, and the Huaxia Empire has a lot of experience in this.

"It's easy to meet you, respected general." David Wolfson was brought to the side of the Wailing Wall, where Wang Xu was standing, looking at the Wailing Wall that was damaged by artillery fire.

"I heard that this wall is your holy object? Is that right?" After hearing the voice, Wang Xu seemed to realize that someone was coming, and turned to look at Wolfson and asked.

Wolfson didn't speak Chinese, but Wang Xu spoke English, and it was pretty good.

(David Wolfson should be dead by now, but if I want to write about it, I have to find someone to write about it.)

"Yes, General. This wall is a section of the western wall of the Second Temple in ancient Judea. It is also the only remaining site of the Second Temple. It is about 50 meters long and 18 meters high, and is built of large stones."

"Since the Byzantine Empire, every time the anniversary of the destruction of the temple comes, Jews from all over the world will come to this wall to cry and complain about the suffering of exile, so it is also called the Wailing Wall."

"It's a pity that the holy object that has stood for more than 1,000 years has also..."

Wolfson spoke with a crying tone, looking at the stone wall with a big hole in the middle with emotion.

"More than 1,000 years? That's indeed a pity." Wang Xu nodded expressionlessly, and he didn't look like he was sorry for it.

"Mr. Wolfson is British, right?" Wang Xu looked at the new leader elected by the Jews in the Levant region.

"Yes, General. I am a British Jew who was born in Russia and grew up in England. I'm sorry, General, I am a little excited." Wolfson took out a handkerchief and wiped his tears.

"General, I must explain to you that all the land owned by Jews in Jerusalem and Palestine is legal."

"Some of them have always lived there and have their own industries and connections. Some have returned from abroad and settled down after purchasing land here."

"Your army's behavior in Palestine and Jerusalem is a bit radical. I hope the general can restrain the army and keep those poor civilians from being affected by the war."

Wolfson said half sincerely and half tentatively.

"Civilians should not be harmed by these. Jerusalem has a long history. If it weren't for the civilians organizing resistance, we actually hope to accept and resolve this issue peacefully."

"But you also saw, Mr. Wolfson, the gap in this wall was caused by the explosion of a 152mm howitzer. Do you know what this means?"

Wang Xu stared at Wolfson, staring into his eyes.

"I... this, this means that those stubborn elements chose to resist and fought with your army?" Wolfson panicked.

"After a thorough investigation, it was found that the main members of the rebels were Arabs, but it was the Jews who provoked the Arabs to resist."

"I'm sorry, I forgot his name, but he has received the punishment he deserved."

Wang Xu politely apologized to Wolfson.

"General, please believe that it was the personal behavior of a small number of radical elements and had nothing to do with the Jewish community!"

"General, most Jews are kind and good people. They can bring great economic benefits to your country..."

Wolfson's heart was tense. He was just an ordinary businessman. The biggest thing he had done in his life was to buy land in Jerusalem and settle immigrants - Jewish immigrants.

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Wolfson. You are British and an ally of our country. Your safety here is very guaranteed, and we have the same interests to win the war."

Wang Xu turned his head and said calmly.

"This..." Wolfson was stuck. He heard the meaning of Wang Xu's words.

He is British, not Ottoman, nor from the Levant region.

"For foreign investors, the Huaxia Empire has an inclusive and open attitude, but it also needs to manage investments to a certain extent."

"Mr. Wolfson, please tell your tribe to bring the corresponding investment certificates and identity documents to the temporary office in the west of the city to register the investment and replace relevant certificates such as visas before tomorrow afternoon."

"Please rest assured that this registration is mainly for checking foreign investment and personnel management in order to reduce management costs and transfer resources to the war as soon as possible. It does not involve taxes or other fees."

Wang Xu said easily and classified Wolfson and the Jewish group as foreign investors.

"Visa?" Wolfson found that the problem seemed to be bigger.

"Yes, don't you know? The Huaxia Empire implements entry and exit control, and everyone must have a relevant visa."

"Didn't the Ottoman Empire have this requirement before? But I remember that there was this part in the government documents received."

"But it doesn't matter if there is none." Wang Xu said softly.

"Huh~" Wolfson breathed a sigh of relief. Visas do exist, but the standards of different countries are not unified. There are all kinds of messy visas, and some are not needed.

"Investors can bring their original identity information, investment certificates and other information to the Chengxi Office for registration, and hand-write application letters in triplicate. We will help investors send one copy back to their country, one copy will be handed over to the relevant institutions in our country, and the other copy will be kept on file."

"Although the speed of international letter delivery has slowed down due to the war, we are confident that we can send the letters to the investor's country within one month."

"By the way, we only provide channels. You need to pay for the postage to your own country. The postage to our country is waived. I can handle it directly."

Wang Xu sorted out his clothes. It was still a little cold standing outside in the winter.

"General, many Jews are locals. These Jews lived on this land before you came..." Wolfson nervously explained, but Wang Xu did not give him a chance.

"Before we arrived in Jerusalem, you were already here, but you are a British, Mr. Wolfson." Wang Xu didn't really want to talk so much, but Wolfson also had a certain influence in the UK.

The most important thing is that Jerusalem is too close to the Mediterranean and mixed with Arabs. If we take direct action, there will be big problems.

"I need to ensure the interests of the Huaxia Empire, so I will sort out the personnel in the Levant region according to the personnel documents left by the Ottomans."

"Mr. Wolfson, your ethnic group has those foreign investors, who have 60 days to make up their visas and investment certificates, and then apply to me for investment permits."

"After 60 days, we will expel all foreigners stranded in the empire's territory and trusteeship area."

"It's going to snow, go back quickly."

After Wang Xu finished speaking, he tightened his clothes, looked at the bright gray sky, and turned and left.

A platoon of guards followed him to protect his safety.

Liu Yiming initially arranged a company of personal guards for him, but after entering the city, Wang Xu reduced the number of guards and put on a heavy bulletproof vest - a heavy garment made of steel plates, weighing 15 kilograms.

It can't stop rifles, but it can stop pistol bullets.

...

"No! Why? This is our land. Why do those Chinese deprive us of our land?"

"The foreigners who should get out are the Chinese, not us. This is ours. We won't go anywhere. Let's see what he dares to do!"

"That's right. We have the support of the Western white world elite and countless compatriots behind us. I don't believe that this group of yellow monkeys dare to do anything!"

"What we need is not visas, but weapons, weapons that can kill the Chinese and Arabs!"

When Wolfson conveyed Wang Xu's words to the Zionists, these people seemed very excited.

They felt that the Chinese dared to use guns before because they used force first and gave the Chinese an excuse.

Now, they put down their guns. They are civilians. The Chinese have no excuse to attack them.

And they felt that there was someone behind them.

"We'll talk about this later. Let's talk about the visa issue first." Wolfson also felt that they needed to master the force, but from a realistic point of view, this was almost impossible.

At least for the moment, why would he "humiliate" himself to negotiate with a yellow-skinned pagan? And he had to endure his contempt and insult!

"Palestine has been our land and our homeland since ancient times. You don't need a visa to go home. Only the Chinese need it."

"This is the land promised to us by God. No one can drive us away!"

"We want to establish a Jewish state..."

Several fanatics didn't listen to what Wolfson was saying. They just waved the Old Testament and shouted about the promised land.

Many people were infected by the fanaticism and shouted.

Of course, there were also calm people, but they were only calm, not rational.

"This Chinese general said that he could handle it directly, so we bribe him! If bribery fails, threaten him or send him away. There will always be someone who can bribe him. It's just a matter of price."

"Yes! Bribe his superiors, let him suffer, and then let him hand over Jerusalem to us for management..."

"Find a politician from the Chinese Empire. Politicians are the easiest to bribe..."

Wherever they were discussing, they didn't realize that several "radios" participated in their conversation throughout the whole process...
