Chapter 667 Buried a seed

Muscat, originally also known as Misca, means a place of spices.

Only when you walk in this beautiful harbor city can you feel why there is this nickname, because the air here seems to be soaked with fragrance. Especially before the Suez Canal is opened, more than half of the spices from Persia and India will be transported from here across the Arabian Desert to the Mediterranean Sea, and then by the famous Venetian merchants are sold all over Europe.

With the opening of the Suez Canal, the reputation of the spice distribution center began to weaken, but because it was a strategic place to guard the Persian Gulf, Britain soon saw the value of it and included it as a protected area.

Today's Mukath seaport Rimi flag can no longer be seen, leaving only the high dragon flag. The thousand British troops stationed in Muscat hurriedly surrendered after less than a day of resistance under the muzzle of the Xinhua army rushing like a tiger, and even left a few small cruisers.

Looking at the seaport handled by Xinhua soldiers, Zhen Na and several partners of the All-India Muslim League sighed in their hearts that in just 20 years, a country similar to India has been able to control the world situation, which made them not only enthusiastic and disappointed with the current situation in India.

Since last year, the All-India Muslim League has begun to work with the Congress Party, but the problem is that the Congress Party does not trust them. Due to the continuous sectarian conflicts, this cooperation is mainly based on the temporary overthrow of colonial rule. As a visionary politician, he knows that this is only a temporary way. It can't solve the fundamental problem between Hinduism and Islam.

But at that time, he had no other choice. The Islamic world became fragmented under the instigation of the colonists. Some people stood on the Allied State Field to cooperate with the attack on the Ottomans for their own benefit. Although more people supported the orthodox caliphate rule, they also chose to wait and see because of the disparity in power. At that time, he could only pass and The Congress Party cooperated to disintegrate the foundation of British rule in India and help the Ottoman caliphate from the flank.

Now everything has changed. Osman survived in the multi-line battle, especially the intervention of the Chinese, which made Osman not only get rid of difficulties, but also very likely to become a victorious country. So when he received the news from the Far East, he immediately brought people here.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Zhenna."

"Me too, Mr. Feng Qi, please extend your most sincere greetings to the noble emperor on my behalf."

Jinna and his partner met Feng Qi in the original British military garrison in Port Muscat. He was a little surprised that he blessed him with Muslim etiquette, because as far as he knew, Xinhua was not friendly to its Islamic minority in the northwest 20 years ago, and even rarely seen it in Xinhua, but they were externally. However, they have different positions. Not long ago, they helped the Sultan of Brunei build the country and supported Malaya, so I was particularly surprised.

"Mr. Zhen Na, the past was caused by many reasons. His Majesty is actually very willing to be friends with the whole Muslim world. We don't want to see a monotonous world." Feng Qi's smiling words actually contain a lot of meanings. The most important thing is that Xinhua does not want to change the national traditions of various countries, which is particularly important for whether it can establish a real cooperative relationship with Zhenna. In order to strengthen the other party's doubts, he continued: "To tell you the truth, in fact, I can only be here. Stay for a day, because I'm going to Riyadh soon to discuss with Ibn Shamir about the engagement of His Royal Highness the Second Prince of our country and his princess.

"Is this true?"

A representative of the All-India Muslim League stood up in surprise. In the past two years, there has been a lot of news about Ibn Saud sending his children to Yanjing to study. Some people have been guessing the mystery for a long time. Unexpectedly, the foreign minister of the Xinhua Empire made it clear as soon as he came. This is undoubtedly telling them that Xinhua is sincere. Make friends with the Muslim world.

Zhen Na's heart was also secretly touched. Although Ibn Saud was one of the people who were determined to break the Ottoman caliph's rule over the Arabian Peninsula, which was regarded as orthodox by the Muslim world, this did not affect the fact that he was Muslim.

"Yes, I have brought the wedding certificate of our emperor. His Royal Highness has now fallen madly in love with the princess. I believe they will live a happy life." Feng Qi swore, but the secretary behind her almost laughed. The person with a little identity in Yanjing did not know that it was now that the princess was pestering the prince, and the prince was very sad.

Feng Qi doesn't care whether the woman chases the man or the man chases the woman. Anyway, it is a fore for the second prince to marry Ibn Saud's daughter. What's more, it can be seen from the bright eyes of several people on the opposite side that this news, even if it is not the best for them, it can at least help mutual trust.

So he took advantage of the hot iron and continued: "Mr. Zhenna must have known that we have more than 1.5 million troops stationed in the Malay Peninsula and Singapore. I believe that these troops can completely sweep the whole of India, but His Majesty temporarily terminated the plan, because he knew that if troops were sent into the Indian Peninsula, It is bound to bring trauma to the Indian people including you and destroy this ancient civilization, so he hopes to hear your opinion and whether we can help drive away those British colonists and restore peace on the Indian Peninsula.

"Help? My opinion?"

Zhenna grasped these keywords keenly, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help wiping a wry smile. Is his voice important? In addition to Osman, the Muslim world is actually a mess, not to mention the All-India Muslim League of internal and external troubles.

However, he was still worried about letting the Xinhua army enter India. Although Feng Qi said just now that he didn't want a monotonous world, if a million troops entered India, God knew whether it would change from being colonized by Britain to being colonized by China, so he immediately shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness. In fact, I think we can solve it by ourselves. Let's solve the problem."

"Oh? Is it true?" Feng Qi raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Have you reached an agreement with the Congress Party? Have you talked about the status of Islamists after the end of British colonization?

This sentence made Zhen Na, who just picked up the teacup, and several representatives of the All-India Muslim League tremble one after another. This is simply a heart-wry problem!

If others don't understand the situation in India, can he still not understand? The Hindu sects of the Congress led by Tirak and Gandhi are trying to overthrow the British colonization. Recently, it is not known from where they have been supported and armed with a considerable army. No one knows whether they can overthrow British rule, but the existence of this armed force is a greater threat to the Muslim League.

There have been many sectarian conflicts between Hinduism and Muslims over the years, and there are more casualties on both sides than a war. Now the Congress Party has suddenly changed its previous moderate policy and chose to rely on armed forces to solve the problem, which means that if they really succeed, they will no longer be willing to cooperate with the Muslim League, because the previous two When they cooperate, they have great internal differences.

He may not have been worried about this before, because even if the Congress Party has an army, it is impossible to overthrow British colonial rule immediately with their strength, but what happened recently has completely changed his view.

First of all, it was the sea battle between Britain and Germany. Originally, the whole world thought that Britain would definitely win, but now it seems that both sides were defeated. Compared with the winning Xinhua Navy, Britain continued to send fleets to the Indian Ocean or even the Pacific Ocean without moving the big stones at the door. It was a joke, and it was stationed in India. The Allied forces will also give the Congress the opportunity to leverage without any assistance for a long time.

Secondly, there is a recent rumor in Mumbai that the Indian Grand Fleet is leaving. Lieutenant General Campbell is no longer willing to sit back and wait for him. If they really leave, the political situation in India will be completely changed!

This is also the reason why he came to Muscat. Although he chose to cooperate with the Congress Party, it does not mean that he will let Muslims be slaughtered by others in the future. A strong foreign aid is the only choice for Indian Muslims. Originally, he chose Osman, but now it seems that Osman is aging, regardless of Whether the war can be won or not will be greatly weakened. On the contrary, the foreign Xinhua is becoming more and more powerful because of the continuous sending of troops to the Persian Gulf. More importantly, once Xinhua and Ibn Saud marry, the Arab world will be completely changed.

Seeing that Zhen Na had not spoken for a long time, Feng Qi knew that she had poked the other party's core problem. Suddenly, she changed the topic and asked with a smile, "Yes, Mr. Jin Na, we have seized a lot of British guns and ammunition recently. It turns out that these things are going to be sold to Ibn Saudi Amir, but he can't eat so much. I don't know if you have Not interested?"

Zhenna had thought about the sound of swallowing behind him, but he knew that there was no free reward in the world. As long as he accepted this batch of weapons, all Indian Muslims would be tied to the Xinhua chariot. What's more, he needed something else than weapons, so he shook his head after thinking about it: "We don't need these. "."

"Oh? Really?"

"Yes." Zhen Na said unexpectedly, "Compared with weapons and ammunition, we need to give our children a safe place to study. I wonder if you can provide us with some help for studying abroad?"

"Of course." Feng Qi's eyes lit up and nodded with a smile.

After seeing that the two of them discussed cooperation in studying abroad and providing medical and health care, the assistants around them couldn't help frowning and didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd.

After chatting for a while, Jinna was ready to say goodbye. When he walked to the door, Feng Qi suddenly put her ear and said, "Mr. Jinna, I think it is necessary to tell you about this. A new Muslim country is about to be born."

The words made Zhenna's footsteps suddenly freeze, and after a long time, he asked gently, "Saudi Arabia?"

Feng Qi nodded and said goodbye to Zhen Na, who was already shocked, with a smile. At this time, the assistant ran up and asked, "Your Excellency, what should I do if this Zhen Na can't be hooked?"

"Don't get hooked? Who said that? Feng Qi said with a smile.

"Don't he want weapons?" The assistant asked puzzledly.

"Ha ha." Feng Qi laughed and patted her assistant on the shoulder and said, "What he wants is not a weapon, but a country!" A country composed of Indian Muslims! Because he understands that since we can support the establishment of Saudi Arabia, so can other Muslim areas.

In India, Muslims have a low status and few opportunities to learn. In this case, if you want to build your own country, the most important thing is talent, so now he doesn't need weapons, but a quota for studying abroad.

He is a smart man!

He refused because he knew that stirring up the Indian civil war now would seriously divide the resistance forces in India, so we just planted a seed this time. When the British left India, there would be problems with the distribution of power in their country. At that time. Looking at Zhen Na's back in the distance, Feng Qi's quiet voice echoed in the living room.

"This seed will germinate."
