Chapter 1502 The Middle East’s Dramatic Changes

8days ago Celebrity fiction 13
News that Nayev was deposed.

There has not been much wave in the international community.

At least compared with the military operations of a certain mercenary organization in the Maiyaden region, this level of trivial matters is not enough to attract too much attention.

The Saudi royal family has more than 5,000 princes, and it doesn't seem like a matter of replacing the current king.

And this is probably the third time that the old king has changed the crown prince, and the last time it was only 15 years.

However, what Naev couldn't understand was that the old king was very satisfied with his birthday gift some time ago and praised his work over the years, but now he suddenly turned against him and pulled him off the position of crown prince.

Looking at Salman, who ascended the position of crown prince, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Although he smiled and congratulated the other party, he couldn't help but curl his lips in his heart.

This highly educated younger brother may be financially good, but he does not recognize him as more suitable to be the new king.

Not only Naev can't figure it out, but many bystanders can't figure it out either.

It is true that from the head of the Prince's Cabinet to the Secretary of State, Salman Jr. showed extraordinary political talent when Salman Old was the Prince of Saudi Arabia. However, Nayev's achievements are also not weak, especially in the military and diplomatic fields.

During his tenure as deputy secretary and minister of the Saudi Interior Department, he was called the anti-terrorism prince and a spy expert. Former US Secretary of Defense and former CIA director both highly praised Naif as the smartest and most accomplished Saudi prince.

Nayf himself led the battle against al-Qaeda, and out of fear of him, he himself suffered at least three assassinations.

He led the fight against terrorism, and his achievements were tangible.Awad Badi, a researcher at King Faisal Academic Research Center, said he believes Naev effectively suppressed a series of al-Qaeda attacks in Saudi Arabia.

However, as a clear-cut anti-terrorism fighter, he obviously did not win the favor of the old king.

The Saudi royal family's attitude towards terrorist organizations has always been quite ambiguous.

On the one hand, they tried their best to avoid causing trouble, stayed away from the fanatics of the same sect, and even helped the international community to suppress them. However, on the other hand, they were sympathetic to the fanatics of the same sect and even secretly provided support to them.

The old king didn't want to see the hound wandering at the door fall, at least not now.

Another thing is that a unified Syria dominated by the Decao faction is not in Saudi Arabia's interests in the Middle East.

As for how much blood a heretic and pagans would shed for it, as a devout believer, he actually didn't care.

In the magnificent palace, a man stood in front of the elderly king.His name is Yidan, and he is the Saudi intelligence minister appointed by Salman.

Baggedadi was killed.

OK, I know.

The old king slowly closed his eyes, opened it after a long time, and looked at Itan and asked.

Have I asked you to investigate what you are investigating clearly?

Yes, your majesty.Yidan nodded and lowered his eyes, and reported respectfully that the mercenary organizations fighting in Syria had been confirmed to be supported by the Star Ring trade. Crown Prince Nayev and Jordanian merchants provided him with access from the Red Sea to northern Syria.Until three months ago, they also transported supplies through our ports.

A trace of disgust flashed in the old king's eyes.

He hates the Star Ring Trade, although now 80% of Saudi Arabia's freshwater supply has to rely on new Chinese people.

He did not believe that these unlawful businessmen would abide by the bottom line, especially after Starring Trade developed oil crops and produced oil analogs as chemical raw materials, which hit international oil prices.

So when Starring Trade was promoting the global power grid to the Middle East, Old Salman had been interfering with it.

Of course, he was not so arrogant that he believed that Saudi Arabia could defeat opponents that Americans could not defeat, nor was he so arrogant that he believed that Saudi Arabia had the ability to have a head-on conflict with the Star Ring trade. Everything he did was to prevent Saudi Arabia from completely turning to the Star Ring trade. After handing over the Tamsui market, he also gave up the State Grid.

Then the Maiyaden military operation took place, and tens of thousands of white phosphorus bombs slaughtered their compatriots in the most cruel way.

If the old king had just hated the Star Ring Trade in the past, the old king had now developed a hint of disgust.

Your Majesty... After hesitating for a moment, Itan spoke.

Seeing his intelligence minister's appearance, he was reluctant to speak, the old king spoke slowly.

you say.

Nayev is very close to the trade of Star Rings. Will our exchange of reserves stimulate the trade of Star Rings?... They have just won in Syria recently, and more than 10,000 mercenaries have not withdrawn from the Middle East. I am worried...

Old Salman looked at Itan with a sharp look, and the latter quickly lowered his head.

After a long time, the old king withdrew the sharpness in his gaze, pondered for a moment, and spoke slowly.

This is exactly what I worry about.

I suggest that Nayev temporarily get out of the position of Minister of the Interior, the people's new national security adviser, weaken Nayev's power in the royal family... It is very risky to propose the royal family's housework, because it can easily touch the sensitive nerves of the old king. If it were not for the old Salman's confidant for many years, Idan would not have made such a risky move.

Because he had already had a premonition that the royal power struggle was intensifying. If it could not be effectively controlled, it would be destined to set off a sandstorm that swept the entire kingdom...

You're right, Itan.Old Salman sighed, Saudi Arabia's crown prince should not be a puppet of a certain country or organization.

After a moment of pause, a sharpness flashed in Old Salman's eyes.

At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the energetic years of the past, and all the turbidity faded from the mottled wrinkles of the years.

He must make a decision to pave the way for his own son, otherwise once he passes away, the entire country will fall into a whirlpool of power struggle...

Jeannaev...

Suddenly, the old king widened his eyes.

Itan was slightly stunned, her face changed drastically, and she hurried forward.

His Majesty, His Majesty!

On this day, the entire palace was in chaos and the entire city of Riyadh was martial law.

The major traffic roads entering and leaving the city were set up with checkpoints, and fully armed soldiers walked past the streets.

The citizens in the city did not know the news of the king's death for the time being, but looked at the soldiers on duty on the streets, as well as the armored vehicles and tanks driving from their doorsteps.

Walking out of the palace quickly was the news of Yidan's order to blockade, and then arranged for troops stationed near the capital to enter the city.

After doing all this, he then rushed to Nayev's bedroom with a group of agents.

However, in Nayev's bedroom, he did not find the former crown prince. After inquiring from his servants, he learned that the Prince Palace had something to go out and would have to come back in a few days.

Surrounding Nayev's bedroom, Idan immediately found Saleman, and while arranging him to ascend the throne as soon as possible, he sent people to track down Nayev's whereabouts.

But he knew that Nayev was just on the border and was staying with the mercenaries of the Star Ring trade. He learned that his bedroom had been surrounded by the old king's confidant, so he dared not go back. He ran directly to the desert in eastern Jordan and moved into the Star Ring mercenaries' military camp.

By the next day, one of his confidants risked their lives to send the news.

It was not until this time that Naev knew what happened in Riyadh in this short day.

No one expected that His Majesty the King would die at this time...
