Chapter 1504 The War of Throne Succession

News of the king's death quickly spread throughout the world.

Even without going through the ghost agent, Jiang Chen saw the video of the whole city of Riyadh being under martial law on Youtuotuo and learned about the death of the king. Such drastic changes made him somewhat unexpected. He passed away not long after changing his reserve. For a while, he didn't know how to comment on this matter.

Empire State Building, New York.

Sitting at his desk, Jiang Chen was having a video call with Ayesha, listening to intelligence from the Middle East.

"Yesterday at 12 noon, old Saliman passed away due to a sudden heart attack. Before he died, he only said two words, 'Janayev'"

"Is the news reliable?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Very reliable." Standing on the other side of the holographic screen, Ayesha nodded and continued, "Our agents in the Middle East were monitoring the palace at the time, and all their conversations have been recorded by us."

"Send me the recording." Jiang Chen said.

"It has been sent to your email."

Reaching out and lightly tapping on the holographic screen, Jiang Chen opened the mailbox, took out the headphones from the drawer, and hung them on his ears.

After listening to the entire recording, he was silent for a while and then spoke.

"Delete all the content except the last part of the conversation, leaving only old Saliman's last words and the rest."

"Last words?"

"That's right. Old Saliman only said 'Janayef', but did not say what he asked Nayef to do. According to the previous context, he may want to send Nayef to prison, but if the previous Delete that part." After a moment of pause, Jiang Chen looked at Aisha and said softly, "We can also interpret his last words as letting Nayef inherit the throne."

…

The last batch of troops arrived in eastern Jordan. So far, all mercenaries controlled by Star Ring Trade have withdrawn from Syria.

Halo trade officers handed over control of the military to Nayef's cronies. Although this Madagascar mercenary trained by Star Ring Trade does not have the combat effectiveness of Star Ring Trade's regular army, its training and armament level are no lower than any special forces in the world.

From the S1 exoskeleton to the assault rifle in hand and the matching sickle-shaped individual drone, as the standard configuration of future military export equipment, the coverage rate in this unnumbered unit has reached 100%.

Nayef returned a Saudi-style military salute to the commander of Star Circle Trading, and after watching him get into the SUV and drive away, Nayef felt as if his emotions were overturned.

It was definitely not his original intention to fight against his brothers and rely on force to seize the throne of this country. This army was originally prepared to implement his reform plan, and he never thought that there would be a day when he would actually use it.

However, at this point, it seemed that he could no longer control it.

Star Ring Trade not only delivered the promised army, but also delivered a perfect excuse. No matter what the old king's mood was at that time, he mentioned Nayef's name when he was dying. Young Saliman's prestige in the country is not as good as his own. Even with the help of old Saliman's confidant Itan, Nayef's prestige in the kingdom still makes him a big opponent.

He did not need to fight the entire kingdom, just defeat the supporters of Saliman the Younger.

Taking a deep breath, he turned his face and looked at his confidant standing beside him.

"How many people in the country are still on our side?"

"The 3rd offered us help, but at the same time he expressed his unwillingness to see the country slide into civil war. Our allies in the kingdom are all on our side and they have promised to recognize you as long as we take back Riyadh from Saliman the Younger." For the new Saudi King."

"very good."

Nayef nodded.

Old Saliman died at the right time. He happened to be in the Star Ring mercenary camp. Now the initiative was in his hands. The entire Saudi intelligence department combined could not stop a powerful force armed to the teeth.

Looking at the confidant next to him, Nayef ordered.

"Set off immediately to Riyadh."

"yes!"

Jiang Chen was not very worried about the succession war taking place on the other side of the earth.

As long as Nayef can muster the courage to take this step, victory will be within easy reach for him.

It's not that Jiang Chen is confident, but that his opponent is too weak.

The defense budget accounts for more than 10% of GDP. With the third-largest military expenditure in the world, it has trained a military that is inferior to third-rate countries. To be honest, before I took him out for a walk, I thought he was a peace-loving master. However, in 2015, he dragged the army to Yemen and sneaked around. The ten-nation coalition army of 150,000 soldiers rushed over and thought he was divided. Push the Houthis armed forces into the sea within minutes...

The result was a slap in the face.

In a word, Saudi Arabia's military strength is no longer weak.

With a full set of American equipment and Chinese long-range missiles, and with complete air superiority, the prince and the supreme commander were killed in succession. Not to mention giving away a lot of equipment, they were even pushed back. Until now, there are still several towns Not returned.

It is estimated that the Hussein armed forces on the opposite side were also wondering whether they were here to cause trouble or to bring warmth.

Facing such an army, with the help of mercenaries trained by Star Ring Trading, it is difficult for both eyes to lose, let alone one hand.

But what is certain is that the final ownership of the throne will completely change the future situation of the entire Middle East...

…

Moscow, Kremlin, a document is placed on Putin's desk. A similar report was actually sent through the Russian Embassy in New Zealand a long time ago. The Kremlin has also held many meetings to discuss the plan to colonize Callisto via star ring trade.

There is actually only one focus of debate, and that is what benefits Russia can gain from this colonial plan.

"The Prospects for the Colonization of Jupiter and the Feasibility Study Report... Ostapenko, what do you think?" Looking at the director of the Russian Federal Space Agency entering the office, Putin put down the document in his hand and leaned on his chair to ask. road.

Since Russia joined the Earth Defense Alliance, Ostapenko has found that he has more and more opportunities to enter and leave the Kremlin. In the past, he might have been excited about getting closer to the center of power in Moscow, but now it has become a burden for him.

Russian senior officials realized the importance of the aerospace industry and that a new era was coming, and had high expectations for him. However, with more and more budgets, he felt more and more Powerless.

Fortunately the gentleman before him was not impatient with his slow progress.

Faced with the president's straightforward inquiry, he thought carefully for a moment before speaking.

"If you are asking me about the necessity of colonizing Callisto, I think it is of course very necessary for Russia. According to the description of Callisto in the document, the methane reserves on it are extremely rich, exceeding a hundred times the methane reserves of the entire Siberia. , and even formed a liquid river. However..."

"However?" Pugin raised his eyebrows.

"It is precisely because the value of Callisto is so huge that I don't understand why the Halo Trade would choose to take it out," Ostapenko sighed. "The Envoy-class starship is already cruising in the Kuiper Belt. Although it is In the name of the Earth Defense Alliance, but we know very well that only they can do it. In fact, with their strength, they can completely digest this planet by themselves, which will not be more difficult than colonizing Mars..."

Having said this, Ostapenko paused for a moment and continued in a hesitant tone.

"I'm not speculating maliciously on our allies, but I just want to know, why do they do this?"
