C2007 Strategy for the Arabian (1/2)
A true man might be able to ignite the flames in his heart with a single, hot-blooded word. The land of the Middle East had been in decline for a long time, and the glory of Ottoman Turkey was like a final struggle, finally retreating before the great power of Western industrial civilization.
What is the future of Egypt? La Deng and the other powerful nobles had once thought about it. France had already talked about Egypt, especially the canal area, becoming its own colony.
Oh, maybe using the word colony wasn't really appropriate. Xiao Letian from the east had once said that the Great Qing was a semi-colonial country, so wasn't Egypt and the Middle East the same?
On the surface, the Ottoman Empire still maintained its vast territories and its sovereignty was still his. However, more and more Western powers had already begun to invade people's lives, causing this society to become more and more chaotic.
This was just another crusade, only this time the goal of the westerner was not the Holy Land of Jerusalem but the countless wealth of the Middle East.
The European pagan had abandoned their faith and chosen money. Their invasion this time was even more deadly than the historical conquest of the East.
La Deng had a feeling that perhaps in a few decades, the master of Egypt would change. It might even be Britain, where he would openly send his army to invade Egypt and turn this place into their true colony.
This was something that all believers in the light of God did not want to see, so they had to fight!
Today, Xiao Letian had ignited the desire in his heart. How could a believer of God be looked down upon by the people of the East? If a weak scholar could abandon everything and join the flood of national revival, what was there for me to be unwilling?
Even though he knew that this was Xiao Letian's way of instigating him, he still could not suppress his emotions. Even if the path Xiao Letian pointed out was a fire pit, he still jumped in without hesitation.
La Deng had to follow his demands strictly. The first three years were spent in hibernation, La Deng and the Chinese Military experts would train their elite soldiers in the depths of the deserts, such as Yemen and Oman, in order to bring out the banner of a desert bandit.
In any case, the bandits in the Middle East were in chaos. There were many indigenous bandits in the desert who were part-time workers, so he did not need one.
Within three years, they had fought their way through the Strait of Ormuz to the north and Mande to the south. The entire eastern coastal area of the Arabian Peninsula was where the La Deng Army operated.
Xiao Letian held La Deng's hand and said, ”In these three years, I'll give you a core strategy. As long as you can completely implement it … I promise that in the future, I will make you king! ”
La Deng's eyes lit up as he held Xiao Letian's hand tightly, ”who has created miracles, I am willing to listen to your brilliant plan. Please rest assured!”
Xiao Letian nodded: ”Remember, your final goal is to establish a kingdom that belongs to you, so you must focus on it for a longer period of time, and do not worry about the gains and losses before you …”
”Put your name among all the children of God to plunder the rich and the poor. You can plunder corrupt officials and unscrupulous merchants, but you must pay a large portion of the money to help the poor.”
”As time passes, the benevolence and righteousness of your army will spread throughout the Arabian Peninsula!”
”In the beginning of your career, you have to be careful not to provoke the British. You even have to do everything you can to establish ties with them and help them complete some military tasks, gradually gaining their trust …”
