Chapter 542 Middle East (7)

Germany mobilized a group of liberty ships, hung the Greek flag, and stopped at various ports in the Middle East. Greece sent people to take in refugees in various parts of Saudi Arabia.

When the people ravaged by the war heard that they could leave this place and go to the United States across the Atlantic, they immediately rushed to the nearest port with their families. Soon, a number of liberty ships full of refugees set sail for the United States. However, with the slow speed of the liberty ships, it would take at least 20 to 30 days to reach the United States.

On the other side, Yannick met with King Abdullah ibn Hussein of Jordan.

At this time, Jordan was called Transjordan, which was part of Greater Palestine. The king was not called the king, but the Emir (meaning "the one who is ordered" and "the one in power").

"Greetings to you, respected Crown Prince Yannick."

Abdullah ibn Hussein was the second son of King Hussein ibn Ali of the Hashemite Dynasty of Hejaz, and was born in Mecca.

He spent his youth under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, received education in the capital of the empire, Istanbul, and was a star figure in the Arab social circle there.

In 1909, he became the Mecca representative in the Ottoman Parliament and held this position until 1916. During the First World War, Abdullah ibn Hussein cooperated with his father and the Allies to lead the Arab tribes in the Arab Revolt in 1916 to overthrow the rule of the Ottoman Empire.

After the end of World War I, the Ottoman Empire collapsed.

In July 1919, the Arab Nationalist Congress held in Damascus passed a resolution requiring Abdullah to become the King of Iraq, and Hussein's third son Faisal to be the King of Syria. On July 25, 1920, France occupied Syria and deposed Faisal. On November 11, Abdullah announced that he would give up his Iraqi throne to Faisal (later known as Faisal I), and he was preparing to form an army to attack the French army.

In 1921, Britain divided Palestine into two parts along the Jordan River. The western part was still called Palestine, and the eastern part established the Emirate of Transjordan. It recognized Abdullah as the ruler of Transjordan, and Abdullah recognized the British mandate.

In 1923, Transjordan became a semi-independent Emirate under the British Mandate. Britain completely controlled the politics and economy of Transjordan. The Arab Corps in Transjordan was commanded by the British, the royal expenses were funded by the British government, and foreign affairs were managed by the British Governor. In 1928, Britain forced Transjordan to accept the 20-year "Anglo-Jordanian Agreement", which legalized Britain's rule over Transjordan.

After the greetings, the host and the guest sat down, and Yannick took the initiative to speak. "I guess His Excellency Abdullah came here for our army's attack on Saudi Arabia?"

"Your Highness is wise." The German army was unstoppable in Saudi Arabia, and the surrounding small countries were naturally trembling, fearing that they would be the next target. At that time, Transjordan was a small country with a population of less than one million. I'm afraid it would be destroyed by a single charge by the German army.

Yannick shrugged and said easily. "The strong prey on the weak, which is normal. As far as I know, the Hashemite family of Jordan is the orthodox of Arabia. As descendants of the Prophet Muhammad, how can they tolerate the existence of heresy like Saudi Arabia? They should have raised the banner to fight against them long ago?" Before the Saudi family occupied Mecca, the Hashemite family had always been the local Sharif (meaning "noble" and "noble". The meaning is the same as "descendants of the Holy See". It is the Muslim honorific for Hassan, the grandson of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad and the eldest son of Ali, and his descendants.). In 1924, the Saudi family occupied Hejaz and expelled the Hashemite family from Hejaz.

As an orthodox family, the Hashemite family adheres to the orthodox faith. First, they do not wear black robes and second, they do not export extremism. Looking at the dress of the descendants of the Holy See, it is clear that the burqa is completely nonsense. There is no provision for black burqas and veils in the Koran. It is an Arab tribal custom imposed on Islam by the Saudi barbarians in order to demonstrate their legitimacy.

The truly legitimate Jordanian royal family has no need to prove its legitimacy in this way, because it is the Hashemite family, a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad! The Saudi family is just a nouveau riche nomadic chieftain. Where does the legitimacy of the Saudi family come from? Why does the Saudi family export radical ideas and wear black robes and veils? It is because they are not orthodox. In order to establish their own pious and orthodox image, they are overcompensating for their inferiority.

The Saudi royal family in later generations had various scandals. When they left Saudi Arabia, they used petrodollars to eat, drink, gamble, and have fun. With such virtues, they dared to think that they were the heirs of the Arab-Islamic civilization left by the prophet? Let's look at the Jordanian royal family, the descendants of the Prophet Muhammad, who are truly orthodox in Islam. King Abdullah II was furious for the sacrifice of the pilots and personally flew a plane to bomb the extremist organization. Queen Rania gave speeches and worked hard for women's rights every day. The comparison between the two is like aristocracy and a nouveau riche.

Abdullah showed a bitter look on his face. Didn't he want to? However, the country is small and its population is small, and its own strength is far inferior to Saudi Arabia. If it fights head-on, it will be like an egg hitting a stone.

Just as Abdullah sighed, Yannick asked. "Does Abdullah know who attacked Saudi Arabia?"

Abdullah shook his head in confusion. Isn't it the German army? Who else could it be?

"They are all Jews."

"Jews?" Abdullah couldn't help but wonder. "What does your highness mean?"

"It doesn't matter. The Jews want to build a country in Jerusalem. After all, it is the former residence of the ancestors of Judah. ​​It is understandable that they want to take it back now."

Abdullah's face turned ugly. Jerusalem is in Transjordan. And Jerusalem is the third holiest place in Islam. Now the Jews want to establish a country in Jerusalem?

Obviously, Germany supports the Jews to establish a country.

"So I would like to ask His Excellency Abdullah to relocate the whole country to make room for the Jews. Of course, I will not treat you unfairly. I have found a new home for you. You can return to Mecca."

Abdullah opened his mouth wide, and was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses and said hurriedly. "Are you serious?!"

Mecca, located on the coast of the Red Sea in the west of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, is not only the place where Abdullah was born, but also the first holiest place in Islam. It is the direction of daily worship for Muslims around the world, and it is also the birthplace of the Islamic prophet Muhammad in 570 AD. Mecca has the Kaaba (House of Heaven), a stone square house built by the early prophets of Islam. It is said that the square house was built by Ibrahim (Abraham), so it is also called the Temple of Ibrahim. Mecca is a place that Muslims must visit during their lifetime.

Yannick said seriously. "Of course. Do I have to joke?"
