Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

So at the same time, an emergency meeting was also held in the Royal Palace of Muscat, the capital of Oman, to discuss the feasibility of sending troops to Fujairah. In fact, it can no longer be said to be feasible. It may be more appropriate to lay out a combat plan.

Of course, the person sitting on the main seat must be Sultan Qaboos bin Said of Oman.

Qaboos bin Said was born on November 18, 1940 in Salalah, Dhofar Province, to Said bin Taimur. In 1960, he graduated from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, England. Later in the British Army.

In 1962, Qaboos graduated from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in the United Kingdom and became an officer in the British Army Rifle Corps. He served for 6 months as a lieutenant and served in West Germany for 1 year. In 1964, Qaboos returned to Oman. His father could not tolerate his progressive ideas, so he kept him under house arrest in the palace for six years.

On July 23, 1970, with the help of the British government. Qaboos commanded army officers and soldiers loyal to him to launch a palace coup and overthrew his father's conservative regime; he became the fourteenth monarch of Oman and served as prime minister, and changed the country's name from the Sultanate of Muscat to the Sultanate of Oman.

In 1973, at the request of Qaboos, British troops withdrew from Oman, ending Oman's status as a British protectorate. It can be said that Juedu is also a ruthless person. At the age of 30, he was able to rebel against his father and successfully rose to power.

No matter which country he is in, he is not a simple person.

Qaboos was a classmate of Prince Sharjah Dericht, and they had a very good relationship; most importantly, the latter even saved his life. After all, when I went to study in the UK at that time, it could be said that I had no relatives. We were all members of the Middle Eastern royal family, so it was reasonable to take care of each other. Therefore, when De Ligt approached him, hoping that he could help bring justice to Sharjah, and with the generous offer, Qaboos was too embarrassed to refuse.

Most members of the Middle Eastern royal family will go to the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in the UK to study. After graduation, as usual, they will serve in the British army for a period of time. It was at that time that Qaboos and De Ligt met and even became friends.

During a military performance, Caboose accidentally injured his foot, but at this time a military truck rushed over. Without thinking, Dericht immediately stepped forward and hugged Cabus and started rolling towards the roadside. The two of them were also very lucky, with just a little scratch on their skin. If it had been a few seconds later, it is estimated that Cabos' life would have been in danger.

It was precisely because of this incident that the relationship between the two instantly heated up and they became very good friends. Although De Ligt did not inherit the position of chief, his ability to be so arrogant in Sharjah is directly related to his friendship with Qaboos.

In fact, Oman has no idea about Fucairah. If Fucairah belongs to them, then they can connect the land to the city. The chokepoint on the Persian Gulf side will all belong to them. By then, its influence in the world will inevitably increase significantly.

Before the birth of the UAE, emirates, large and small, had existed for centuries, mostly hereditary rule by a tribe. This kind of governance is different from that of modern sovereign states. Before modern times, they often gained control over land through various methods such as marriage, transactions, and wars. Chiefs often regarded these lands as their own private property and had greater authority to deal with them. of arbitrariness.

The border between the United Arab Emirates and Oman is complex and the central section of the border is winding and winding; therefore, the demarcation work is very difficult and even impossible to sort out. And many of them have historical origins, so it doesn’t matter who they belong to. The most important thing is that the Qaboos family and the Sala family also have a marriage relationship.

Strictly speaking, people also have inheritance rights to Fucaira. Salad is a girl after all, and she is not recognized in the Middle East. And because of the participation of Heiyun Group, it can be said that there are still sufficient reasons to cause trouble for Fucaira.

Qaboos said to the people below: "You must have seen the conditions offered by Prince Sharjah Dericht. And I don't need to say more about the benefits of annexing Fucaira. Bao Zixuan people Now that I’ve been here, the reasons become even stronger.”

"If we don't take action now, we may never have a chance in this life. Fucairah has purchased so much weapons and equipment from the United States and the Soviet Union, especially naval ships and submarines. If it forms combat effectiveness, it can control the entire Persian Gulf at any time. By then , we will be more passive."

In fact, after Qaboos came to power, he implemented the modernization process in the country, and Oman has undergone tremendous changes since then. Qaboos's government is an absolute monarchy, and unlike neighboring Saudi Arabia, his decisions do not require discussion with other members of the royal family. However, after he came to the throne, he also relaxed his rule over the people to a certain extent, allowed newspapers to exist, and established colleges and universities. With its oil resources, Oman has become a moderately prosperous Gulf country, building highways, hotels and shopping malls, and establishing a social welfare system.

It can be said that Qaboos currently has absolute authority in Oman. As long as it is something he decides, no one dares to object.

Although Oman has a small number of people, it has a large number of troops. The total strength currently exceeds 50,000. Among them, there are 35,000 people in the army, 4,200 people in the navy, 4,100 people in the air force, and 6,500 people in the Royal Guard.

And because the military conflict with the People's Front for the Liberation of Oman has just ended, there are many veterans in the country. If necessary, the force can be quickly expanded to 100,000.

Heiyun Group is just a company with strong economic strength; but there are not many people who can actually fight. Although Sharjah has suffered heavy losses before, Qaboos believes that this was because the Sharjah army was too weak in combat effectiveness and attacked rashly without sufficient preparation.

After all, he graduated from the British Military Academy, so he still had some concerns about the strong electronic interference used in Fucaira. For this purpose, anti-interference equipment was specially purchased from the United States; the current test results are perfect.

Badr is Qaboos' right-hand man and a senior military commander. Regarding the war between Sharjah and Fucairah, he carefully analyzed the technical means and strength comparison between the two sides. A comprehensive conclusion is drawn that even if Oman has an equal number of troops, it will not be a match for Fucairah.

But now Qaboos has absolute authority, and his purpose this time is very clear; that is, to capture Fucaira and connect Musandam Province with the mainland. By then, Oman's status in the Persian Gulf, and even in the entire world, will be different.

Oman is the earliest shipbuilding base in the Middle East, so the cities on the northern shore of the Persian Gulf were basically controlled by them. Previously, Fucairah was chosen before Oman and the United Arab Emirates; but what is disappointing is that the United Arab Emirates was chosen. I had wanted to take action for a long time, but the British refused to agree for the sake of regional stability, so the matter was dropped.

There is such a good opportunity now. If we give up, as His Majesty Sultan Qaboos said, we will never get the chance.

But when it’s time to remind, you still have to remind. When the army suffers, the commander will inevitably suffer as well.

Badr said very seriously: "Your Majesty the Sultan, the Ministry of National Defense plans that the Omani army will attack Fucairah from three sides, and the Sharjah army will support it. Three sides of land and one side of the sea will surround Fucairah. If everything goes well, maybe two The battle will be over in just a few days."

"However, Fucaira's air force cannot be underestimated. Although they are all Yak-31 aircraft, their combat effectiveness is not weak. Therefore, in the fight for air supremacy, the army will inevitably make sacrifices. Moreover, the Black Cloud Group has large bombers, and we Also consider that the homeland will be bombed.”

"Fortunately, Fucaira's navy has not yet formed a combat capability. If all the warships and submarines they ordered return home, then we will not be able to win, and there will not even be a possibility of a war."

Anyone who knows Qaboos knows that he is usually taciturn and does not praise himself; he does not speak much in public, but his sentences are concise and powerful, and he gets to the point without making insinuations. He is also quick-thinking, stable in character, and does not panic when encountering difficulties.

Therefore, it can be said that the attack on Fucaira was carefully considered. De Ligt's relationship is one aspect, but it is definitely not the main reason. After all, all the kindness I had for taking care of him for so many years has probably been repaid.

Qaboos: "We are not fighting for Sharjah and the UAE now, but we are fighting to make Oman stronger and richer in the future; it can also be said that we are fighting for the living space of our descendants."

"Sacrifice in war is unavoidable, but fighting for the prosperity of the country and the prosperity of the people is a worthy death. As for the homeland being bombarded, deploy air defense forces. At the same time, I also ask the generals to win a quick victory; as long as we capture Fucairah Throughout the territory, I believe that even if there are bombers, there will be no runways that can take off and land.”
