Chapter 1110(2/2)
Besides, his Zheng family also has oil fields in the Middle East.
Whether the Kurds establish a state or not is not a big issue, but the oil fields in the Middle East must not be damaged.
Anyone who dares to take advantage of the oil fields is the life and death enemy of Ming Dynasty.
"Yes! We used the Kurds to defeat the Sultan of Constantinople.
After the war, we ignored their needs.
After all, we still need a stronger Ottoman Empire.
Now! People thought our Ming Dynasty was a liar, so the Hebrews took advantage of the opportunity.
Haha! The Hebrews are really good at taking advantage of loopholes."
"If it were the Hebrews, they would definitely go south to Basra to attack the oil fields."
"So! We really have to fight this battle.
The Kurds, with a population of several million, have had the idea of establishing a nation for thousands of years, but have never been able to realize it.
Either they were suppressed by the Arabs or the Persians. Later, the Turks came.
Now that you have the opportunity to build a country, why don't you risk your life?
In order to compete with us for the oil fields, the Hebrews naturally supported us at all costs.
It's not easy for the Marine Corps to fight this battle. If it doesn't get it right, it will fall into the quagmire of guerrilla warfare.
Therefore, we must think of a comprehensive solution this time. We must restore security in Baghdad and eliminate those Kurdish militias.
Shunzi, get ready. I'm going to Singapore!"
"Teacher, you don't need to personally direct this battle.
Everyone knows that the Kurds are no match for the Ming Dynasty’s army. Just leave Zuo Liangyu to deal with this kind of thing, so why bother?”
"That's fine! Just let Zuo Liangyu do it. I really don't understand.
Why do the Hebrews seem to have been injected with chicken blood? Do they want to show off with us in advance?
They don’t seem to have that strength!
When will the two battleships ordered by Spain and Sweden be delivered?"
"This will be in August next year!"
"This is strange. I thought they would definitely get two battleships before they started taking action.
I didn’t expect that with more than a year to go, they would actually play such a big role.”
Li Xiao looked at the map and felt that it must not be simple for the Hebrews to do so many things.
Sure enough, just ten days later, a telegram came back from the front, indicating that the Kurds continued to move south, trying to capture Basra.
As a result, they collided head-on with the Ming Dynasty Marine Corps, and the Kurds actually took the initiative on the battlefield by virtue of their numerical advantage.
If the Marine Corps had not had the foresight to build many bunkers and fortifications, the position might have actually been breached.
When the news reached the Ming Dynasty, the whole country was in an uproar. Unexpectedly, a small overseas country called Chuoer almost defeated the Ming Marine Corps.
Ming Dynasty quickly mobilized domestic troops and transported troops to the Middle East as quickly as possible.
But he did not expect that the development of things seriously exceeded Li Xiao's expectations.
Just as the Ming Dynasty was intensively deploying troops to the Middle East, there was a joint vendor in Tunisia who was bullied by the local police.
I couldn't think of it for a moment, so I actually lit a fire on the streets of Tunisia and burned myself.
This aroused public outrage, and the angry Tunisians surrounded the Sultan's residence. They beat the Sultan to death and then dragged him through the streets.
The Sultan is dead, but the anger of the angry people has not diminished. The local tribes are all in danger, and the Sultan is afraid of being found out and beheaded.
As a result, the sultans united to suppress the rebellious mob.
Of course, those Tunisians could not just surrender, and the war broke out in an instant.
Moreover, the flames of war flowed all the way from Tunisia to Tripoli. Then, they quickly rushed to Egypt.
The road was chaotic and the Arabs were killing each other.
It happened that at this time in Damascus, an elder from the Shi'a sect was assassinated by a Sunni sect in broad daylight.
Soon, religious vendetta began.
Damascus, known as the City of Paradise, fell into chaos almost overnight.
Nearly two months passed, and Li Xiao was surprised to find that the entire Middle East had turned into a pot of porridge!
The huge gap between rich and poor has led to great social conflicts.
This is compounded by the conflicts between the clans, as well as the thousand-year feud between the two major factions, the Sunni sect and the Shiye sect.
In just two months, war broke out in the Middle East, which was originally peaceful, like a prairie fire.
Every war has conflicts of interest or demands.
But in this war, there seems to be no conflict of interests or demands.
Like a flu, it is spreading rapidly in the Middle East.
At the beginning, people followed blindly. They didn't know why they took to the streets and why they wanted to fight life and death.
Later on, people gradually become numb.
Go out on the streets and fight like hell with others just to survive.
Because the world is in chaos, if you don't kill him, then he will kill you.
If you don't want to be killed by others, then you have to let others know that you are not someone to be trifled with.
Li Xiao looked at the corrupt Middle East and finally couldn't sit still anymore.
Because there were also riots in Cairo.
The mob not only smashed and looted on the streets, but even violently attacked the Marine Corps barracks.
In order to maintain order, Ming soldiers were forced to shoot at the rioters.
As a result, more than a hundred people were directly killed.
This scene was reported in the Hebrew records.
For a time, the image of the Ming people in the eyes of Westerners fell to the bottom.
Also under the deliberate propaganda of the Hebrews, countless Arabs flocked to Baghdad from all over the world.
There are also countless religious leaders calling on the Arabs to hold a holy war to overthrow the rulers from the distant east and drive them back to the east.
Among the teams rushing to Cairo, Li Xiu's people even found an artillery carriage pulled by four horses and a large number of machine guns.
The enemy had heavy weapons, which surprised Li Xiu.
