Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Bao Shaofu also hesitated for a long time about whether to disclose Soviet-related information to Prince Sultan. Although the relationship between the two parties is close, the cheap father-in-law is after all a core member of the Saudi royal family; the country's third-largest figure is likely to take over as the King of Saudi Arabia in the future. For him, Saudi Arabia's interests will inevitably be given priority, followed by other interests.

But if Saudi Arabia is not prepared at all, it will inevitably fall into passivity when the Soviet Union truly disintegrates. The United States has become the only superpower in the world, and the big players in the Middle East are at the mercy of others.

I was also worried that the other party would not believe me, or that I would reveal it to Americans. People's hearts are separated from each other, and you may not be able to trust anyone easily except yourself.

But after a comprehensive analysis, it was decided to let Saudi Arabia prepare in advance. Unless absolutely necessary, Saudi Arabia will not damage the relationship between the two parties; of course, the premise is that he should try to keep a low profile and not touch Saudi Arabia's bottom line. At the same time, Saudi Arabia has always considered itself a major country in the Middle East, and it certainly does not want to be a little brother to other countries. As long as Saudi Arabia has a strong determination, everything will still have a chance.

And as a cheap father-in-law, he can be considered a hardliner. But other members of the Saudi royal family may not be so tough. This is also the reason why Bao Zixuan hesitates. After all, in its previous life, Saudi Arabia fully supported the United States' attack on Iraq; of course, this may be an international political necessity. But if it were replaced by Fucairah, Saudi Arabia might do the same thing for its own interests.

In fact, essentially speaking, the relationship between the Saudi royal family and the current president of Iraq used to be very good, because both Saudi Arabia and Iraq are Sunni countries and both face threats from Shiites in Iran. Therefore, during the Iran-Iraq war, Saudi Arabia fully supported Iraq's attack on Iran and provided money and power. It can be described as a honeymoon period.

But during the Iraq War in its previous life, Saudi Arabia spared no effort to support the United States. Although this aspect is intriguing, some clues and reasons can also be found.

First, the ambitions of the Iraqi president. After the Iran-Iraq War, although Iraq nominally won, its national strength was severely depleted. From being a major creditor country before the war, it became a debtor country after the war. Moreover, it still owed a lot of debt and did not get the sea port it wanted. So it invaded Kuwait; after occupying Kuwait, Iraq assembled a large number of troops on the Saudi border, with a strong ambition to take over Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is also very worried about this, and as the largest Sunni community in the Gulf, Saudi Arabia does not want to disrupt the existing national order in the Gulf, especially annexation. Therefore, Saudi Arabia completely broke with Iraq for its own security.

Secondly, the battle for the boss. Saudi Arabia has always had a dream of becoming the boss of the Middle East. However, Iraq at that time was not only wealthy, but with the power of victory in the Iran-Iraq War, the Iraqi president began to consider himself the boss of the Middle East and the leader of a Sunni country. Moreover, the Iraqi president is also relatively tough on the outside world, which completely overshadowed Saudi Arabia. As for Iraq, it is unacceptable for Saudi Arabia to become the new leader. Therefore, it is necessary to kill the Iraqi president. After all, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain.

Finally, follow the United States. Saudi Arabia is the largest ally of the United States in the Middle East, and Saudi Arabia also relies on the protection of the United States to maintain national stability and economic development. Otherwise, how could a monarchy country survive so well in the modern world. Perhaps a revolution would have broken out long ago. therefore. Saudi Arabia basically follows the United States in its foreign policy; the United States will support whatever it does. Especially for the Middle East, Saudi Arabia must keep pace with the United States; in this way, it can claim credit in front of its masters and strengthen its relationship with the United States. Therefore, for Saudi Arabia, it is necessary to kill the Iraqi president.

It is now clear to the whole world that Bao Zixuan occupies Fucaira. In the eyes of the world, who poses a greater threat, Bao, the richest man, or the President of Iraq, I guess many people will think it is the former. Iraq looks like it has a strong army and is known as the fourth most powerful military country in the world. But its own military industry is in a mess. All cutting-edge weapons and equipment are imported. It is estimated that only China dares to call its country the fourth military power in the world.

But Bao Zixuan is different. It can basically produce its own weapons and equipment; and it is also the most advanced existence in the world. In addition, through two wars, the world has realized that this is a powerful military country. Although there are no strategic weapons, at the tactical level, with the same strength, even the Americans dare not say that they can do better than Fucaira.

Fucairah has no strategic weapons, and neither does Saudi Arabia. If there was a real fight, Saudi Arabia would not be able to take advantage at all. After all, Oman, known as the second military power in the region, did not make a single move in front of Fucairah. Although Saudi Arabia has stronger military strength than Oman, the gap is not big in terms of tactical thinking, weapons and equipment.

In other words, if it wants to besiege Fucairah, Saudi Arabia must dispatch several times, or even ten times more troops. Fucairah is likely to be another Israel in the Middle East, even more terrifying than Israel.

They are close allies now, but when it threatens Saudi Arabia's status as an Arab country in the Middle East, it may become an enemy. Bao Zixuan is also worried that Saudi Arabia will do this to him just like it did to Iraq in its previous life. It is not impossible that Iraq invaded Kuwait; but Fucairah also seized a large piece of land from Oman. And it is still a choke point. Even if Saudi Arabia has a lot of oil, it must be exported abroad through the waters of Fucairah.

One side of the Persian Gulf belongs to Fucairah, and the other side belongs to Iran. Arab countries certainly know how to choose. The more powerful Fucairah becomes, the more serious a threat it may pose to neighboring countries.

Everyone will worry that Fucaira is too greedy for land and will be unable to control it. They will be unlucky then.

Iraq and Saudi Arabia are both Arabs, and their fights are internal conflicts within their own ethnic groups or sects. But Bao Zixuan is definitely a pagan. On the surface, Salad is the chief. All this seems to have no impact, Fucairah is still an Arab country. But anyone with a discerning eye understands that Arabs will definitely constitute a minority among the people of Fucairah in the future.

In fact, there are already signs of this, but no one is talking about it. This is why when we learned that Sharjah and Oman were attacking Fujairah, Abu Dhabi and Dubai did not stop it, and even seemed to enjoy the gains.

After all, the two families are also worried about whether their land can be saved if Fucaira becomes a country dominated by Chinese and Slavs. Even if it still belongs to them now, who can say for sure in the future.

The father-in-law's statement today made Mr. Bao very happy. Perhaps he also saw the problem and knew that there were different voices in the Saudi royal family; therefore, he decided to cooperate privately. I don't want to involve the entire royal family for the time being, so I leave some room for maneuver.

Prince Sultan said very seriously: "There are too many members of the Saudi royal family, and it seems that the population is prosperous; but it is not a good thing."

Of course Bao Zixuan understands what Prince Sultan means, but this is an internal matter of the Saudi royal family; as an outsider, it is difficult to make any evaluation.

The world believes that Ibn Saud was a born conqueror. He began to conquer Arabia with Riyadh as the center. In order to consolidate his rule, every time he conquered a tribe, he would marry a woman from the tribe; it is said that Ibn Saud married more than 300 times in his life.

Before Ibn Saud's death, in order to ensure the smooth transition of the Saudi family's rule, the succession system of "brothers last until younger brothers" was established.

More marriages means more wives; then naturally there will be no fewer children. The age difference between the eldest son and the youngest son will be very large. And each of the brothers has a feeling that he has a chance to become a king. Then it is natural to want to have more children, which can be considered as more helpers.

When there are more people, right and wrong will inevitably increase. And not everyone feels comfortable watching Bao Zixuan, and it is inevitable that some of them will have ulterior motives. In addition, the CIA is in Saudi Arabia and can be said to be pervasive. So as a prince, he must be the focus of attention. Those who work and serve around the royal family may be receiving CIA wages.

They pick and choose among them, which makes many members of the royal family believe that Bao Zixuan, Black Cloud Group, and Fucairah will threaten Saudi Arabia's status.

My father-in-law said this today, indicating that what he was worried about has already happened. It seems that we still need to be careful not to keep a low profile; but at least we don't have the ability to fall out with Saudi Arabia yet. Perhaps this is also a process of growth, and allies are temporary.

If you want to stand among the world's strongest, you must be strong enough.
