Imperial Overlord

"This is Mr. Mohammed, Saudi's special envoy... The one next to him is Mr. Ibrahim Minovich from the Oman region." The translator introduced it over and over, and bowed respectfully.

Rommel stood on the edge of the desert, looking at the endless desert in the distance, and felt that God was playing a not-so-funny joke with him.

In the past, it was a very happy thing for him to arrange him in the endless North Africa for the head of state.

Allow him to gallop between the heavens and the earth, without worrying about the restrictions of others, and play the most perfect offensive battle in his mind.

It was this unrestrained fight that brought him all the way from Tobruk to Egypt, earning the honor he had longed for.

Now, he is only one step away from the marshal's scepter, commanding the army farthest from Germany and winning the most dazzling victory.

However, when he entered Egypt and got his admiral reward, he suddenly discovered painfully - he had no more battles to fight!

The previously planned goals of attacking El Alamein, capturing Cairo, and taking control of the Suez Canal seem far away, but he has already achieved them one by one.

Without so many targets, Rommel could only look at the boundless desert in front of him, urging the troops to train again and again.

There are as many as 400,000 troops in his hands, most of which are Italian servants. Just after some hard work, these troops from Italy are already very strong.

These soldiers are good at fighting, have plenty of Italian and British artillery, ammunition and Libyan oil.

The only thing restricting them is the **** yellow sand in front of them. If there was a road, maybe they'd all hit the Indian border.

"I know what Mountbatten and Montgomery promised you, and what they can give you, we can give." Rommel turned around and said to these people who came from afar.

The British gave Saudi Arabia and Oman and other regions independent conditions, and condoned the people in these regions to consolidate their beliefs.

Li Le, who has seen the chaos in the 21st century, at least what kind of connivance will eventually lead to - the entire Middle East is in chaos, and he can only rely on selling oil to consolidate his position.

Li Le is not a savior, in fact, he is more like a more vicious devil.

As the German head of state, Li Le also does not want to see an integrated and united Middle East.

What he prefers to see is a Middle East that is easy to control and makes it easy for him to attack the Middle East!

So Germany's solution to the chaos in the Middle East is simple: whatever the British promised to the Arab world, Germany will do the same!

This condition is very favorable, so favorable that the Saudi envoy and others who came to negotiate are very satisfied.

"We are willing to sell arms and other materials - as long as you choose to stand on the side of Germany instead of flirting with the British." Rommel said with his hands behind his back, looking at the Arabs in front of him.

When the translator said Rommel's words, the Saudi special envoy, Mr. Mohammed, was obviously a little embarrassed.

In fact, in 1941, there were no conditions in Saudi Arabia that could be exchanged except for geographic location.

This country is now poor and slightly closed, not the rich and powerful appearance of later generations. The reason is that in 1941, no oil was discovered here!

Oil in the Middle East was discovered and exploited on a large scale only after World War II. No oil was produced here during World War II.

At this time, the oil-producing areas were in Iraq and Iran. There is still a long way to go from Saudi Arabia, so Saudi Arabia is still just a desert.

"Your Excellency, we are not as rich as you think. I am willing to get your country's support, but we don't have that many bargaining chips." The Saudi envoy said gloomily, explaining his embarrassment.

Several forces claiming to be countries have been born here, and the king of Saudi Arabia, Ibn Saud, is now in a daze and is dealing with troubles within his own country.

The departure of the British made this place a mess. The entire desert is now full of disputes, and many people are dreaming of becoming emperors.

However, no matter how chaotic, all the forces have made a wise decision, that is, to please both sides, while flattering the British government in exile, they are also flirting with the Third Reich.

This time, the purpose of the special envoy sent by Saudi Arabia is to gain certain support so that he can restore his right to rule the region as soon as possible.

"It doesn't matter, you can sell anything... As long as you are willing to sell, we are willing to buy it." Rommel was persuasive, like a cunning fox.

"The Führer likes it here~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Many of our businessmen also like it here. You can sell navigational power, including those in the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf!" Before making other demands, the diplomat in charge of the negotiation, Before Rommel, he made a condition.

Gaining navigable power in the Red Sea would allow German submarines to access the Indian Ocean—and would save a lot of hassle in transporting goods from Asia to Europe after the war.

In addition, what Germany also wants is access to the north of Saudi Arabia: what Rommel is always thinking about is the attack on Iraq.

If he can get a safe corridor, then across Jordan and other areas, attacking the British army in Iraq, he has at least three points of certainty.

The importance of the Red Sea, of course, is very clear to Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has sold the navigation rights of the Red Sea to many countries, and naturally will not reject the German proposal.

But letting Saudi Arabia give up the northern passage made the Saudi envoy a little reluctant. If you don’t have a navy, you will hand over your interests at sea, but if you have an army, how can you just cede the land if you just say it?

At this time, let out a piece of land, and when the war is over, do you still know who this piece of land belongs to?

Assuming that at that time, who is still confident, or who has the courage, to discuss the territorial issue with the Germans?

"We are very grateful for your country's tolerance and support to us... We are also willing to provide convenience in the Red Sea area for the use of German ships!" The Saudi envoy first found an easy-to-talk aspect and made his own commitment: " As long as your country is willing to provide assistance, everything is easy to say!"

The German diplomat beside Rommel nodded and responded with a smile: "Then, we can go back to Cairo and have a good chat while tasting fine wine, the friendship between our two countries."
