The Arabian Peninsula, south of the Inrak region of the Ottoman Empire, Kuwait, the new capital of the Kingdom of Najd.

Abdul Rahman, King of Najd Kingdom, also looked at the Arabian Peninsula on the map, his eyes were full of anger, as the king of Najd Kingdom.

He never thought that before 1865, he was only the youngest son of his father Faisal, and he would inherit his father's position as king.

The brothers have betrayed their relatives and separated from each other. The brothers have separated the forces in the entire Saudi emirate. Originally, they had consolidated their position in Riyadh because of the support of the elders. , Came to today's Kuwait in the northeast, restored the kingdom of Najd, and looked around, it seems that there is no weak person facing it. .

It even took less than a year for the Sharma tribe to complete the occupation of the southern part of the medina, the brothers were killed, and they themselves were expelled to Kuwait. This mortal hatred caused Abdul Rahman to burst into anger.

"His Majesty the Sultan, someone has asked to see you." Just when he wanted to continue the meeting of his past good life and was forced to flee Riyadh, his personal confidant interrupted him at this time.

"Who is it? Let's talk." The Ottoman Empire, which it relied on recently, suffered repeated defeats in the Balkans and the Caucasus. The Ottoman Empire was like a bird of fear, and did not want to waste energy on the Sharma tribe. Therefore, he was more interested in the Ottoman Empire. Dissatisfied, but now seeking asylum, I can only do things with the mentality of relying on others.

Now he is so free that he doesn't care who he is, let's talk about it when we meet, after all, it should be extraordinary to be able to make his cronies think it is worth reporting.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look to the south. There, Rasheed, the chief of the Sharma tribe, must have had a lot of headaches recently. After all, although the Ottoman Empire was unwilling to help itself, it placed a lot of money for Rasheed. trap.

Abdul Rahman smiled happily when he thought of the land acquired by the European powers in the southern part of Rashid's territory.

Come to think of it, Rashid now has a lot of headaches, or is very afraid of those ambitious Europeans.

The Ottoman Empire directly brought Europeans to deal with Rasheed. It was a good method, but I don't know if this would lead to wolves. It's hard to say for the time being.

However, for him, it is not enough to share the threat posed by the powerful Rashid's strength.

Thinking of this, and looking at the southeast, he couldn't help sighing. The Hasa area has always been his sphere of influence. It was entrusted to him by his father Faisal. He continued to operate it until he was succeeded by the king. , He just wanted to open up the expansion of the Saudi emirate, and what he wanted most was to make the Saudi emirate a coastal power and a naval power, so building a military port group in the Persian Gulf was what he wanted most.

His base camps in Kuwait and Dammam are even more important. He also thought about trading the Qatar Peninsula, the United Arab Emirates and Oman with the Ottoman Empire after stabilizing the situation. The reasons were all well thought out, that is, to deal with the Persian Empire for the Ottoman Empire. Yes, to relieve the pressure on the Ottoman Empire. Even the trading method is more willing to give up the fertile land of the Sirhan Valley area in the northwest.

But before it started, it was proposed by Prussia and the Netherlands first, and to his surprise, the Ottoman Empire agreed.

This made him annoyed and felt that he hesitated to delay the transaction, but the subsequent participation of Britain, France, Italy, Spain and Portugal made him stunned.

European powers have come here to fight the autumn wind?

This made him very glad that he didn't get involved, otherwise it would not be a good thing to be missed by other countries.

It is precisely because of this that when Hassa retreated to Kuwait, he was followed by the Sharma tribe and occupied the south, and the Port of Dammam fell into the Sharma tribe, which was a big blow to him.

With the entry of various countries into the Arabian Peninsula, his dream of a powerful naval power has become a mirror image. It is nothing but an empty shell.

The presence of European countries has made the situation on the Arabian Peninsula confusing and difficult to see clearly.

The entire peninsula was shrouded by the forces of various countries, and even the Ottoman Empire did not dare to have any objection. After he lost the south, the remaining population of just over a million people was less than the 1.2 million population in the south. How could he dare to talk to other countries in Europe? challenge.

Time is also fate, could it be that their kingdom of Naizhi really fell? And still in your own hands?

"His Majesty the Sultan, the guests are brought here." He was interrupted again by the words of his cronies. He raised his head, and to his surprise, this face turned out to be the peculiar appearance of Westerners. At that time, he once thought that he was an envoy from the Ottoman Empire again, in order to persuade them to submit to the Ottoman Empire more, because he had seen them several times this month, but now, he has seen them It's not them, but the Westerners? It has to be said that this accident is really not small.
