Expedition to Europe

After receiving the order from Qin Zhiyuan, Yang Deshan summoned Yang Dehai and Rommel to discuss how to implement the plan to go north.

It is impossible to move there as a whole. The Brotherhood Alliance has already had a certain mass base in ****** and Libya. This is a situation that has been formed after long-term efforts. It would be a pity to abandon it now.

However, Qin Zhiyuan's order must be carried out. The interests of the small group must be subordinate to the big group at any time. Yang Deshan has this awareness.

"The second step plan - what does this mean?" Rommel was a little curious when he first heard about it.

Rommel is now his own man, and there is no need to keep it secret from him. Yang Deshan explained the content of the second step plan to Rommel. After listening to it, Rommel's expression was a little excited: "So that means we are now going to march to the Middle East, where - very important?"

Yang Deshan only explained the necessity of marching into the Middle East. As for the deeper purpose, Yang Deshan did not know.

In the Middle East today, rich oil and gas resources have not yet been discovered. The entire Middle East gives people the impression of a deserted desert. Therefore, neither the British nor the French have much interest in the Middle East. The British even regard the Middle East as a "garbage dump" for Europe, and want to throw the Jews who are not welcome in Europe to the Middle East to let them fend for themselves.

Rommel is not a Nazi. Although he has no good feelings towards Jews, he is not disgusted with them either. Therefore, Rommel himself has no opinion on the British approach, but he is still confused by Qin Zhiyuan's strategy.

Being able to rise from the tactical level to the strategic level, Rommel has begun to evolve from a general to a commander.

"It is very important and directly related to our future-" Yang Deshan still does not know what is underground in the Middle East. From a strategic point of view, the Middle East is the link between Lan Fang and Europe, which is enough.

"Then do it." Rommel is a good soldier. He does not ask questions and resolutely carries out his mission.

On this point, the "Secrecy Code" requires very clearly that you should not ask questions and should not listen to things that you should not listen to.

"I'll go this time, the second one will be responsible for guarding the house, the fourth one will be ready, and your people will provide support to me and Jackson at any time." Yang Deshan was ready to go into battle himself.

Yang Dehai did not object to Yang Deshan's arrangement.

Given the current state of the Brotherhood Alliance, Yang Deshan's arrangement was the most reasonable. The Middle East must indeed be visited, and North Africa cannot be abandoned. Although Rommel is capable enough, his qualifications are still insufficient, and the armored forces cannot be easily dispatched, so Yang Dehai is the best candidate to stay behind.

"Iraq is still quite complicated. Do you have a specific strategy?" Rommel showed a certain degree of worry.

"It's okay. The people are indeed a bit mixed. After all, they are all Persians. As long as we can mobilize the grassroots people and take the path of surrounding the city from the countryside, Iraq will be the next Liab." Yang Deshan is confident.

"Mobilizing the masses" and "surrounding the city from the countryside" are new words "invented" by Qin Zhiyuan. The Brotherhood Alliance has always been developing according to this idea. In Liab, these two methods have played a big role in the expansion of the Brotherhood Alliance.

The British ruled the colonies by fostering agents. The specific approach was to find agents with enough prestige and then control the colonies through agents. The Brotherhood Alliance's approach was completely opposite. In the Brotherhood Alliance's ruling area, there were basically no agents. The truly prestigious ones were the church elders. The church ruled the local area instead of the administrative agency, and the church elders achieved their ruling purpose by controlling the people's beliefs.

Compared with the British approach, the Brotherhood Alliance's control over the local area was more thorough. After all, the most important thing to control a certain area was people. As long as the people's beliefs were controlled, everything else would be as light as a feather.

"When are you leaving?" Although Yang Dehai was reluctant, he also understood that he had a heavy responsibility. Yang Dehai could not live in Yang Deshan's shadow forever. People always have to grow up.

"Tomorrow." Yang Deshan said simply, his heart had already flown to Iraq.

Hanasor.

The original camp no longer existed. Those killed or charred bodies had been buried. Only large areas of charred black in the camp reminded Karim that countless good brothers were sleeping here.

The British were ready to abandon this camp, and a new camp had been selected, just five kilometers north of Hanasor, which was closer to the Syrian border.

Karim came to say goodbye to his brothers. The dead are gone, and the living are like this. Karim buried his hatred in his heart and prepared to get it back from the Syrians and the French in his own way.

"Let's go, Karim." Someone was calling Karim in the distance. It was Karim's new friend Majid.

"Brothers, wait for me. I will come to you after I avenge you." After Karim finished his last prayer, he stood up and walked towards Majid without looking back.

On the way to the new camp, Maijid was full of anticipation for tomorrow's life: "I heard that there will be troops stationed in the new camp, so there is no need to worry about safety. We will live in new tents, six people in one, and have new clothes. The food is also good, at least we don't have to eat those pig food anymore-"

Karim listened to Maijid's chattering and didn't want to talk. There were also troops stationed in the original camp, but they were vulnerable to the impact of the devil knights from hell. Those good brothers in the past couldn't even eat "pig food".

"We now get ten shillings for a day's work, which is much higher than the original salary. If I can work for half a year, I can go home, build a house, and marry a wife -" Mai Jide He still had plans for the future, but it was a pity that Karim was not interested in them.

"First of all, you have to survive until that day." Karim's voice was so low that he couldn't hear clearly.

"What did you say?" The wind in the desert was still a bit strong, and Mai Jide didn't hear clearly what Karim said.

"I said, you should make yourself stronger." Karim was a little worried about Mai Jide's small body.

The work in the oil field is still quite arduous, which is a bit overwhelming even for Karim, who is tall and tall, not to mention Mai Jide's small body. Mai Jide is estimated to be only about 1.6 meters tall and does not even weigh 50 kilograms. His feet are like a dragonfly floating on the sand. This is certainly not a complimentary description.

"I also want to be strong, but you don't know, I have eleven brothers and sisters, and now I only have four left, so even though Hanasol is not safe, I am still here." Mai Jide's expression was indescribable How sad, this is how it is in this era. Mai Jide's family situation is normal and people have become accustomed to it.

Poverty is a common feature of all Iraqis in this era. Oil has not yet been discovered in Iraq, and food cannot be grown in the desert. Even if the nomads want to graze, they always need pasture, but in the desert, pasture is a luxury.

The distance of five kilometers was not too far. Karim and Maijide kept talking and arrived at the new camp in a short time.

The raid a month ago reminded the British that the walls of the new camp no longer use wooden piles, but permanent buildings with masonry structures. These building materials were sent by the British from the British mainland. The mountains are high and the water is high. The road was long and difficult, and the British had spent a lot of money.

It's a pity that if an economist were here, he would definitely criticize the British. The British worked tirelessly to transport building materials to Iraq. It is estimated that the transportation price has already exceeded the actual price of these building materials. From the British mainland to Sending it here is far less cost-effective than directly building a factory in Iraq.

There is a reason for the British to do this. The reason why the British are doing this is to curb the development of Iraq. In the British view, it is best for Iraq not to have any industrial capacity. The Iraqis only need to produce the oil that the British need. The British will provide all other necessities needed for life.

Well, that was the British way of ruling the colonies, and it had nothing to do with cost.

The construction of the new camp is progressing very quickly. The wall has now been erected. There is a bunker stationed by British soldiers outside the wall. The black hole of the gun muzzle and the mountains of ammunition boxes have given the workers a lot of confidence. Because of this, the British can Iraq found enough workers as quickly as possible.

When entering the new camp, you must first register your identity. When it was Karim's turn, as soon as Karim reported his name, the officer in charge of the registration looked surprised: "Abdul Karim - 'Lucky Karim' '?"

Lucky Karim, this is the nickname Karim got after the night of the raid. There were nearly a thousand people in the entire camp and only Karim survived. This was really lucky.

"Yes." Karim didn't say much, the sadness in his eyes was rich.

"Don't be sad, those people will be punished by God eventually." The British comforted him very thoughtfully. Although it was of no use, Karim still asked him to hold his lips: "We are going to set up a guard force composed of Iraqis. Responsible for the security of the camp and the elimination of certain hidden dangers. Guard members do not have to work in the oil fields. We will provide weapons and training. Guard members are paid thirty shillings a day - "

Karim didn't hear what the British man said at all. He only had one thought in his mind: Guards——

Isn't that right? The British are not easily subdued, and the majesty of the world's boss cannot be offended. If someone dares to infringe on the interests of the British Empire, it is very simple, just make him pay a price that he cannot bear.

So when the British asked, "How is it? Are you interested?" Karim nodded without hesitation.

"Yes, I am very interested, and I have military experience. In the army, I was a captain of a cavalry battalion." In order to prove his worth, Karim took the initiative to reveal the experience that he never wanted to mention.

"Captain? That's great!" The British immediately recorded Karim's name in another book. This list was densely packed with names. Judging from the thickness of the book -

Quite impressive indeed.
