"Prime Minister, Kingdom of Nejd are willing to become Protectorate for the German Empire!" With no other choice, Foreign Minister Ghazi of Nejd had no choice but to surrender. He knew that there was only one way to survive before Kingdom of Nejd. If they refused, destruction would be waiting for them.
In order for the country and the nation to continue to exist, they have no other choice but to succumb to the German Empire.
A smile appeared on the faces of Prime Minister Bülow and Foreign Minister Wachth.
"Your Excellency Ghazi, don't you need to ask King Abdulaziz for instructions?" Prime Minister Bülow asked.
"Prime Minister, no need. His Majesty the King has given me the power to handle this matter." Ghazi said.
When leaving Kingdom of Nejd, Abdulaziz expected that the attitude of Germany people would be very tough. Therefore, he told Ghazi that there is no need to confront Germany people if it is impossible to do so. After all, Kingdom of Nejd has become the overlord on Arabian Peninsula. But in the eyes of the powerful German Empire, they are still too weak. In fact, facing German Empire, they didn't even have the courage to resist.
As a heroic figure who led dozens of Valiant back to Saudi Arabia, Abdulaziz was able to defeat Turks and establish Kingdom of Nejd. This kind of insight still exists.
"Okay then, just sign the document. However, I have to remind you that after becoming Empire's Protectorate, you must safeguard the safety of the Empire's interests. Once Empire discovers any behavior that damages Empire's interests, the consequences will be very serious." Prime Minister Bülow said with a serious face.
"Yes, Prime Minister. Kingdom of Nejd will never do such a thing, and will never betray German Empire!" Ghazi said. He knows that Germany people do what they say. Once Kingdom of Nejd really rebels against the German Empire, the consequences will be very serious. However, Protectorate has become Germany, and the army and police are under the control of Germany people. Do they still have the ability to rebel? After all, rebellion is something you do with your head high. If you are not careful, you may lose your life.
"This is the best thing. Empire will still take great care of his Protectorate. First of all, your safety will be protected by the Empire. No country can pose a threat to you. Secondly, economically, you will be integrated into the Empire's economic system. It is foreseeable that your economy will also develop soon." Bülow said.
However, Hamid and Ghazi looked bitter, and Kingdom of Nejd and Kingdom of Kuwait were both a piece of yellow sand. How can we develop the economy in such a harsh natural environment? It's not that they don't think of a way, it's that the conditions are so bad that they can't do anything at all! It can be said that the current Kingdom of Kuwait and Kingdom of Nejd are very poor, unlike later generations who relied on oil to rapidly develop and become wealthy.
Prime Minister Bülow smiled after seeing their faces. He knew what they were thinking.
"You two, you can tell your König when you go back. Soon Empire will invest on a large scale in your two countries." Bülow said.
"Investment? Why is this?" Ghazi asked in confusion.
"We found from the documents left by the Britain people that both of your two countries have a large amount of oil resources. German Empire will provide funds and technology to exploit your oil. After deducting the cost of the extracted oil, you can get 20% of the profit. I think this will greatly promote the economies of your two countries." Bülow said.
"Oil, do we have oil there too? This is really great!" Hamid said with a smile on his face. They have been living a hard life for many years. If oil can be mined, they will be able to live a prosperous life.
Ghazi is also laughing, but his villain is a bit far-fetched. Because he was thinking if everything Germany said was true. Well, that oil was originally theirs. But why do they only get 20% of the profits, but Germany people get 80%? This seems so unfair.
However, now Kingdom of Nejd has become Protectorate of Germany. Faced with Germany's demands, they have no choice at all. Don't say that Germany only gave them 20% of the profits. Even if Germany took away all the profits, there was nothing they could do. In comparison, Germany people's approach is already very kind.
Both Kingdom of Kuwait and Kingdom of Nejd became Protectorate of the German Empire, which expanded the power of Germany in Middle East. It can be said that after controlling these two kingdoms, Germany can be regarded as controlling Middle East.
The Kuwait delegation and the Kingdom of Nejd delegation did not stay in Germany for long. They left for home on the third day after the treaty was signed. However, Prince Abdul and Prince Salim remained. The younger Prince Abdul will go to school at Berlin. The older Prince Salim went to the Imperial Army University for further studies.
Obviously, these two Prince are their heirs to the throne. Keeping them at Germany is also to give Germany peace of mind.
Kingdom of Nejd's König Abdulaziz and Emir Jaber II of Kuwait were speechless after learning about the conditions proposed by Germany. However, they also know that there is no way around it and there is no other way but to compromise.
Facing the strength of Germany, they could only admit it. Likewise, they can only hope that Germany will keep his word and not interfere in their internal affairs.
For Kingdom of Nejd, the only advantage is probably that Germany is willing to help them deal with Rashid family and Kingdom of Wajid, which is undoubtedly an unexpected surprise. Under German offensive, Rashid family and Kingdom of Wajid are obviously impossible to withstand.
In early February 1916, German 8th Army Corps passed through Suez Canal and entered Sinai Peninsula. Then, the attack on Kingdom of Wajid began. At the same time, Kingdom of Nejd's army was also ready to attack Kingdom of Wajid.
Kingdom of Wajid's strength is not even as good as Kingdom of Nejd, let alone fight against the fierce German military.
The battle went very smoothly, and in less than a week, Kingdom of Wajid's main army was defeated. German 8th Army Corps did not go deep into the desert of Arabian Peninsula, but was stationed along the coast. Just let Kingdom of Nejd's army deal with the rest of the remaining enemies. 8th Army Corps There are more important targets to attack.
With the support of Germany, Kingdom of Nejd annexed Kingdom of Wajid and changed its name to Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. And Germany also took control of the entire Middle East.
