Chapter 909 Unjust War

Salman's anger is absolutely understandable. Whoever is in his position will say that he is angry to the smallest extent.

In just half an hour, he has received news from the country that his son, the second heir to the Saudi royal family who is only 30 years old, the commander-in-chief of the ten-nation coalition, and the man who holds Saudi economic and military power Mohammed, in the Saudi defense parliament, was killed by a missile during the missile attack.

Losing his son in old age, he lost his best son, and even the next king of Saudi Arabia.

At this time, let alone Salman's nephew, the first heir to the Saudi king. Although he was not buried under the attack, Salman never planned to let his nephew inherit the throne.

This is almost a certainty, because Salman gave this nephew the position of the first heir, just to win over the seven brothers of the Saudi royal family by his side.

In fact, he handed over all the financial and military power of Saudi Arabia to his son Muhammad, and his meaning is quite clear, not to mention letting his son be the commander-in-chief of the ten-nation coalition this time, commanding the troops to attack Yemen. The Houthi armed forces, in order to let their own women have a good experience, achieve enough achievements, and then be promoted to the position of the first heir in the order, so that members of the royal family have nothing to say.

There is a famous saying among the Arabs: I unite with my cousins ​​against outsiders, and I unite with my own brothers against my cousins.

Unanimously external, everyone is their own. But if it is an internal matter, it is natural that one's own people are the main ones, even brothers are not as close as their own sons. It is really a normal thing to unite one's own self to attack brothers.

This is almost an Arab tradition.

But I didn't expect that since it got involved in the war in Yemen, it has been very unsatisfactory. Saudi Arabia has paid and invited ten countries to air strike the Houthi armed forces, and has also prepared a large army of 150,000, waiting for the second stage. Ground troops entered Yemen to carry out the final attack on the Houthi armed forces, which were almost like stragglers.

But this happened, for Salman. It is no less than a loss like the collapse of Mount Tai, which cannot be recovered by any means.

Moreover, a large number of members of the royal family were also killed in the missile attack, leaving only his nephew and some unimportant members of the royal family, the original huge Saudi royal family. It withered in an instant.

Salman's anger. It can be said that there is too much to say, even if he can't finish talking for ten or eight days, if he didn't hold back, he might have exploded in anger.

at this moment,

Just like a raging wild lion, anyone who dares to offend him will definitely end badly at this time, no matter who the other party is.

And actually. There is another very important reason why he chose to send troops to Yemen, and that is for Iran.

Houthis. In the eyes of Saudi Arabia, it is a small guerrilla group. When the whole world does not want Yemen to rebel, Saudi Arabia has three purposes for attacking the Houthi armed forces.

The first purpose is to create achievements for his son and become the cornerstone of Muhammad's first death.

The second purpose is to stabilize its own backyard. The idea of ​​the Houthi armed forces is completely contrary to Saudi Arabia, so Saudi Arabia needs a stable backyard, a backyard where nothing will happen.

The third and most important purpose is that Saudi Arabia is eager to establish its strong image and establish its leading position in the Middle East and the Arab world in response to Iran's gradually rising status as a major country.

In fact, Saudi Arabia has three traditional friendship countries in the Middle East, one is Egypt, one is Turkey, and the other is Pakistan.

Saudi Arabia has been providing sufficient economic support to these three countries for a long time. It provides more than one billion U.S. dollars in free aid to Pakistan every day. Saudi Arabia also provides a large amount of Egypt’s military expenditure, not to mention the cooperation with Turkey. The two countries have always been Always good brothers.

And this time, the reason why Saudi Arabia wants to launch a military strike against the Houthi armed forces is to put it bluntly, to show its force and its huge influence in the Arab world in the Middle East.

However, regarding Saudi Arabia's proposal to send troops to Yemen, the three traditional good friends all gave up one by one.

Egypt originally planned to participate, but when they heard that ground troops would be dispatched, they immediately changed their tone and told Saudi Arabia that the Egyptian riot had just ended and needed to recuperate. If ground troops needed to be dispatched, forget it.

Egypt's retreat made Saudi Arabia very unhappy, and it immediately approached Pakistan.

The Saudi side said, I give you so much support every year, brother, and now I have something to do, so you have to help!

But under the intervention of his hometown, the little brother Batie said very simply, it’s not that the brothers don’t help, it’s because the domestic situation is also unstable, and there’s nothing they can do to help. If the Houthis attack your capital city, brother, what’s the point? Don't tell me, I will definitely send troops to help you.

This response from Pakistan also made Saudi Arabia half dead at the time. The Houthi armed forces are a group of guerrillas, how could they be able to attack Riyadh.

However, Saudi Arabia is also very clear that the sum of its annual assistance to Pakistan is not as good as the amount of aid to Pakistani brothers from its hometown in a year. Pakistan Railway is naturally very clear about how to choose.

Fortunately, Turkey was the happiest at that time. It has been clamoring to support Saudi Arabia in attacking Yemen and promised to send troops.

But who knows, within a few days, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Beijing, who had not sent troops to Syria at that time, went to Turkey, planning to build a natural gas pipeline from Russia across the Black Sea to Turkey, and then transfer to Greece and then to Italy .

The news of Vladimir Putin and Beijing immediately made the Turks feel that the pie fell from the sky. They don't have to do anything, and they can get billions of dollars in income a year, so why not do it.

The next day, Turkey's enthusiasm for Saudi Arabia's proposal to jointly attack Yemen's Houthi armed forces immediately dropped by 80%.

The last 20% was done by the Iranians, because Turkey has always had a good relationship with Iran. Most of the natural gas and crude oil Turkey needs are provided by Iran, because Iran is the country with the second largest natural gas reserves in the world.

So Turkey has completely stopped cooking. The original three powerful allies turned Saudi Arabia into a lonely family.

In the end, all small countries such as Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan were left. Although these countries participated, all military expenditures and expenditures were provided by Saudi Arabia. (To be continued.)
