Chapter 360 Partitioning Saudi Arabia
If you join the war, then join the war. Yang Feng has no choice but to say that the Americans have been living happily for so long and have made so many years of war wealth. It is indeed time to pay a price at this time. He is now looking forward to what expression the Americans will look like when they meet him again when Japan fights to the West Coast. If you talk about Japan's current strength, there is no big problem with this. Anyway, they can definitely win Pearl Harbor. The Americans may not know them enough, but Yang Feng is very clear.
You should know that the Japanese at this time had long changed their superstition of Zero because of repeated setbacks in air battles with China. After all, this type of fighter cannot form a reassuring advantage over lightning and thunder. The Americans have much more equipment than China. If they want to fight to the United States or seize Hawaii, they must face the US mainland aviation. On Oahu alone, there are 500 twin-body demons, and even if they add two supers, they are not sure of winning.
So on their latest Yamato-class aircraft carrier, the new fighter aircraft was replaced with a large Venus engine. Moreover, because of the smooth sailing routes, the German-made turbocharger has a comprehensive performance that exceeds the Zero. However, it is even worse than the original Fiery Wind in history, but the name is the same.
The main force of HNA in the United States is still the wildcat. You can imagine what the result will be in front of Liefeng, which is difficult to fight against the Zero. This is not that the United States does not have the ability to produce better fighters, but that Japan's HNA's defeat in the last East China Sea war gave them a wrong impression. Therefore, it was not until the war started that the P40 and Flying Snake of the Land Airlines were beaten to no avail in front of the Zero that they hurriedly developed the updated Hellcat, but it would take at least half a year to put it into use.
In addition to the self-guided oxygen torpedo that has been said to have begun mass production, Yang Feng really doesn't think that Americans can block the Japanese at sea, but it's nothing to do with him. The war burned to the United States, which is what he most looking forward to. Of course, he has to try to minimize his losses. Not only does Lockheed move to the east coast. Even Fox Films must be prepared for this. Although they don't understand this very much, Kelly and Johnson still listen to the big bosses. At least he must have more experience in dealing with the Japanese than those members of Congress.
However, the migration of Yang Feng's enterprises has caused some kind ridicule in American public opinion. In the eyes of Americans, Boss Yang is too careful. It is a joke like a fantasy for the Japanese to hit the West Coast.
Whether it is a joke or not, Lockheed would rather reduce its production capacity than migrate to the east, which made many American aircraft manufacturers happy. This terrifying beast was almost overwhelming. Especially after the war started, the fact that Lockheed's two fighters supported the Philippine sky alone forced them to the edge of the cliff, and now they can take the opportunity to take a breath.
As for Yang Feng's main task on this trip, this is not worth mentioning to Roosevelt. Just ask the US ambassador to Saudi Arabia to talk to Ibn Saudi Arabia.
"Yang, you can feel at ease with this. We still have enough influence in Saudi Arabia. His Majesty Ibn Saudi Arabia is also an old friend of the United States. I believe he will not refuse such a small request." Roosevelt said to Yang Feng with a smile. This guy's Indian Ocean Fleet is his good move, otherwise he would not have given him the warship originally given to the US Navy under such circumstances.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the secretary came over and told him with a serious expression: "His Excellency the President, the Saudi King rejected our request."
"Huh?" Roosevelt was stunned at the time.
"His Excellency President, it seems that this old friend of the American people is ready to change a new friend." Yang Feng said lightly.
Ibn Saudi is not stupid. It is no big deal to refuse the Americans. Their navy is almost in danger of being protected by itself. If the Japanese really hit the door, Roosevelt would definitely not send warships to save him. However, if he promised Yang Feng to build a naval base on his own territory, it would be negligent to say that the Japanese would definitely come to him. Their naval fleet was wandering outside his home. Their army still had hundreds of thousands of troops in India, and it was not a piece of cake to destroy him. There was no second choice for this problem.
"Yang, I think this needs to be communicated again." Roosevelt said embarrassedly. He really didn't expect this would be the result.
"There is no need to communicate anymore. The Saudis are not going to make a choice between us and the Japanese, so let's help him make a choice." Yang Feng said with a sneer.
"What do you mean?" Roosevelt asked.
"It's very simple. I'm going to transfer two divisions from Central Asia to the Middle East, and then attack Riyadh with my Middle East army from north to south. After the matter is completed, they will change to a king who listens to us. I will exile Ibn Saudi Arabia in the model of Iran, or we may just separate Saudi Arabia. This country is too strong in the Middle East, which is not conducive to control. I think we should restore the rule of the Hanzhi royal family in the holy city and only retain the inner race for the Saudi family. They were originally just the rulers of the inner race. The Hashem family had just been driven away by them for less than twenty years.
Although Hussein Ibn Ali and his successor have both died, his second son Abdullah is still the king of Jordan, and his third son Faisal is still the king of Iraq. I think the Hanzhi area should be handed over to Abdullah for inheritance, and then the Saudi family will continue to retain their inner races, which is fair." Yang Feng said.
He had planned this plan for a long time. After the Ottoman Empire fell apart, the main leader of the Arab world was Hussein, the king of Hanzhi. Unfortunately, he did not want to be a puppet of the British, so he was defeated by Ibn Saudi Arabia, who was supported by Britain, and had to go into exile. Later, he died of illness in the territory of his second son. If the Hashem family's rule over Hanzhi is restored now, he will definitely be supported by Jordan and Iraq.
Roosevelt understood very well that Yang Feng would not have been as simple as getting a port. In fact, the Hanzhi area will be directly controlled by him in the future. The British rely entirely on his support in the Middle East, so they will definitely not be able to compete with him. He has controlled Qatar, the UAE and other places. If Hanzhi is controlled, the army, navy and air force in the Middle East, and Pakistan, which is now under his control, this guy's roots have been established in the Middle East. But it is not possible to disagree. It is obvious that Yang Feng is extremely important to the United States now. In fact, he can do it himself without the consent of the United States. Anyway, there is no US military there. Now that he can tell himself, it is already very considerate. Besides, this will also cut off the Germans' covetousness of the Middle East. As for the Japanese, it would be enough to let Yang Feng deal with it himself at that time.
"As long as the legal rights and interests of American companies are guaranteed there, we don't care about the regime change there," Roosevelt said with a shrugging.
Since this was the case, Yang Feng was relieved. In the United States, he sent a telegram to Sun Dianying, asking him to draw out the armored division of the Lanxin Railway Protecting Army of Ma Hongkui's troops who had entered Central Asia, plus a mechanized division. The division commander must be replaced by Muslims, and then head south to the Iranian border on standby. Now Sun Dianying has controlled the entire east of the Caspian Sea and is a veritable Central Asian king.
Moreover, there is no important war at his place now. The Japanese army has no intention of entering and just want to safely protect their Tyumen Oilfield. The Soviets are also unable to provoke the Japanese. They are now struggling to deal with the beard. Since this is the case, Sun Dianying is of course not interested in developing northward. He leads an army of 200,000 to take charge of Central Asia, and looks like no one is allowed to touch, and he is not stressed out to pull out two divisions.
Then Yang Feng returned to London from the United States. Of course, the British no longer needed him to mediate. Although they understood that Roosevelt declared war on Germany at this time was a scam from Britain, Churchill had no other choice. Britain had to continue, otherwise they would have to bear the anger of the Americans.
Yang Feng had nothing to say, but just informed them of their own decision. Now the British naturally have no qualifications to object. Montgomery's tens of thousands of troops and Weville's men in India are all supported by Yang Feng, and this is not harmful to them. Yang Feng retains a naval base in the Middle East, so they don't need to worry about the Japanese landing on the Arabian Peninsula. As for the issue of Yang Feng controlling the place, this is much better than the Japanese or German controlling the place. At least he will also protect the interests of the British Petroleum.
After leaving the UK, Yang Feng sincerely apologized to Xiaowang.
"Yang, this is long ago as I expected. What the Americans hope is a Europe that was ruined by war. The principles of this country will not change. But this is also good. All the guests of this banquet will be there before they can start." Xiao Wang said with a smile.
"His Excellency, let's do it! To express my apology, the rare metal materials you purchased in the United States will be secretly supplied from China in the future. I have several submarines in my hands, and they will be transported to the port you designated on the west coast of the Red Sea. Of course, you must also allow my fleet to exist in the Red Sea." Yang Feng said.
"Yang, what kind of metal can you provide?" said Xiaoma. Germany imported a lot of goods in the United States, and it would be very troublesome if some of them were cut off.
