Chapter 895: Middle East Strategy (seeking monthly ticket)

   "By the way, Your Majesty. The princes of the Kingdom of Najd and the Kingdom of Kuwait will probably arrive the day after tomorrow. Do you have time to meet them?" Foreign Minister Wahit asked.

  When the German army attacked Egypt, the Kingdom of Najd and the Kingdom of Kuwait secretly contacted Germany, hoping to send a prince to visit Germany secretly. Although, the Middle East is still under the control of the British. However, all countries in the Middle East know that the British are finished. Especially when they discovered that the British were withdrawing from the Middle East to India.

  The Kingdom of Najd and the Kingdom of Kuwait are relatively influential countries in the Middle East. Especially the Kingdom of Najd, they are almost about to control the entire Arabian Peninsula. The Kingdom of Kuwait has been established for more than half a century, although it has become a British protectorate. However, their national security is guaranteed. At the same time, their operations in the Middle East over the years have made their country small, but their influence is not small.

  In the case of Britain's defeat, the pattern in the Middle East will also be greatly affected. For this reason, countries in the Middle East have to adopt other methods for their own national interests and future. The Kingdom of Najd and the Kingdom of Kuwait are the pioneers. They contacted Germany, hoping to switch their families, so as to ensure that their national interests would not be affected.

   Germany will of course accept the initiative of the Kingdom of Najd and the Kingdom of Kuwait. After all, Germany is too far away from the Middle East, and if it wants to rule here, it is a bit out of reach. The only way is to support local forces and let them rule here instead of Germany. In this case, the rule of Germany can be made more stable. At the same time, a lot of power can be saved. Of course, there are also downsides to doing so. As time goes by, when these countries become stronger, or if Germany declines, they will definitely do everything possible to get rid of Germany's control.

  However, as long as they continue to be strong, even if they have such thoughts, they will not have such courage.

   "I heard that the built-in prince is only thirteen years old?" Qin Tian asked.

   "Yes, Your Majesty. But he is the eldest son of the built-in king and the oldest prince." Wahit said.

   "Your Majesty, the actions of the Kingdom of Najd and the Kingdom of Kuwait also mean taking their heirs to the throne as hostages," Prime Minister Bilo said.

  Qin Tian nodded, and he also thought that it was very wise for the Kingdom of Nezhi and the Kingdom of Kuwait to do so. They know that it is very difficult to get the recognition and satisfaction of Germany. And once they send the heir to the throne to Germany, Germany will be able to support them with confidence. At the same time, it also shows their determination not to betray.

   "In this case, I'll take the time to meet them!" Qin Tian said. He personally met the two princes, which undoubtedly showed Germany's attitude. At the same time, it can also make the Kingdom of Najd and the Kingdom of Kuwait more at ease.

   "Your Majesty, does the empire's Middle East strategy need to be revised?" Qin Tian asked.

"Not for the time being! The British are retreating. After their retreat, there will be a lot of power gaps. What the empire has to do is to seize this opportunity and fill these gaps. And, further ensure that the empire can strengthen its rule in the Middle East. Once If the empire controls the Middle East, the empire will be able to easily control the entire world in the future!" Qin Tian said.

   "Your Majesty, is the Middle East really that important?" Marshal von Falkenhain asked.

  In his view, the Middle East is full of yellow sand, and everything but sand is sand. The population is also very sparse. Apart from the fact that geographical location is relatively important, nothing else matters.

   "No, Marshal, you underestimate it too much. Do you know about oil?" Qin Tian asked.

   "Is there oil there?" The other ministers also responded.

Qin Tian nodded: "Yes, there is oil there. There is a lot of oil. Especially the Kingdom of Najd and the Kingdom of Kuwait have very large oil reserves in their land. It can be said that 1% of the world's More than 60% of the oil is concentrated in the Middle East. The importance of oil is beyond doubt. Whether in wartime or peacetime, this energy is the most important. Therefore, we must control the Middle East, absolutely not Let other countries get their hands on it!"

  Qin Tian's attitude is very firm. As he traveled from another time and space, he knew the importance of controlling the Middle East. Isn't the reason why the American emperors of later generations are so arrogant is because they control the Middle East? The powerful armed forces of US imperialism can make them overwhelm any opposing force. If Germany can control the Middle East, this will further enhance Germany's strength. At least, energy can be used to get stuck in the necks of other countries. If there is no one, not only will economic development be severely affected, but at the same time, military strength will also be severely reduced. Airplanes, tanks and cars, without oil, are just a pile of scrap metal.

  The other military and political ministers were also completely shocked by the data Qin Tian said. Sixty percent of the world's oil? That is undoubtedly a very terrifying reserve. You must know that the oil that Germany extracts from Libya is already enough for Germany's oil consumption, and there is even a little leftover. But the oil in the Middle East is obviously more, and much more. This also means that it will be a huge fortune, and at the same time, it is also a very useful strategic weapon.

   "Your Majesty, if this is the case, then we can't let the Middle East go without saying anything. The countries in the Middle East must be placed under the control of the empire!" Prime Minister Biluo said with a serious face.

  Although, Prime Minister Billow has always been averse to the use of force. However, he also favored the use of force when necessary in order to secure the interests of the Empire. Since the interests of the Middle East are so important to Germany, even if it is to use force to control the Middle East, in Prime Minister Biluo's view, it is completely worthwhile.

Qin Tian nodded: "This time the Kingdom of Nezhi and the Kingdom of Kuwait took the initiative to show their favor to the Empire, which is a very good start. The Empire can easily enter the Middle East through them, and take over the vacuum left by Britain. Think about it later The method is to further strengthen the control of the Middle East. The Najd Kingdom has great ambitions, and the empire can support them to further control the Arabian Peninsula. But at the same time, the empire must have military bases and station troops in the Middle East. Only in this way can the empire be guaranteed control of the Middle East."
