Chapter 1005 Doomsday (Third update, please subscribe)
In the early morning, there was yellow sand everywhere, gunshots were echoing in the city, and camel cavalry in white robes rushed into the city. They kept firing at each other. Guns were fired in the sky, and some of them had machetes in their hands. The bodies of some military policemen were scattered on the narrow streets.
Just a few hours ago, thousands of Arab cavalry poured into Medina. While firing their guns, they told the people in the city that the Hashemite family, the Holy descendants, were once again returning to Han Dynasty. Chi.
The news brought by these cavalry immediately caused the city to boil. Many people who had always been dissatisfied with the rule of the Saudi family rushed out of their homes and shouted the name of the saint. In fact, no matter in the wheat field, That was still in Mecca, and the local tribes looked down upon the Saud family with great contempt.
Because the Saud family has no history at all, they are the Bedouins in the desert.
In the traditional understanding of Arabs, Bedouins can be bandits and robbers, but they absolutely cannot be kings!
What's more, in the past thousand years, this place has been ruled by the Holy Family, even in the Ottoman era. The Ottoman Sultan also recognized the Holy Family's rule on this land!
But the Saudi family, which came out of the desert, actually drove the Hashemite family out of Hijaz and out of the Holy Land. This is simply unforgivable.
Of course, the more important thing is...their inner arrogance makes it difficult for them to look down on the Saudi family of Bedouin origin. The Saudi family also knows this very well, so they do their best to them. Suppression, beneficial things, never consider them.
As a result, the conflict between the two sides became deeper and deeper. After the news of Saudi Arabia's tragic defeat near Jeddah, many local tribes in Medina and other places saw the opportunity they had longed for!
During the Yemen offensive, they looked on and laughed.
But when the disastrous defeat in Jeddah came, the news of the return of the Hashemite family also came. While they were surprised, they all realized that this was an opportunity to overthrow the rule of the Saudi family. !
Of course, the more important thing is to seize the oil fields under its control!
So, almost overnight, when the tribes outside the city sent soldiers to welcome the return of the Hashemite family, the families in the city got up and drove away the officials sent by Riyadh, defeating their The military police took away their weapons.
The changes in the situation have completely exceeded Riyadh's expectations. From the disastrous defeat on the front line to the restoration of the Hijaz Kingdom, Riyadh was suddenly in a state of turmoil. All of this naturally aroused the royal family's dissatisfaction with the king. Under such circumstances, it became a top priority to convene a royal meeting to discuss how to deal with the current crisis.
"Aziz must hand over power. He doesn't know how to govern the country at all."
In the face of failure, someone always needs to be responsible!
Almost everyone is targeting the king who lacks the ability to govern the country. Of course, all of this is directly related to Faisal. Although Aziz is the eldest brother, but the throne... Those who are capable live there.
When Faisal and other royal elders were discussing how to depose the king, what they did not know was that a B29 bomber taking off from Socotra Island was flying along the business line. The route is heading towards Riyadh.
At nine o'clock in the morning on September 28, in the royal palace in Riyadh, as soon as the royal meeting began, some royal elders accused Aziz of being incompetent.
"...As early as the beginning of the year, we had learned that the Yemenis were training their army. They not only purchased a large number of advanced weapons, but also hired foreign mercenaries, but the king did nothing, even I don’t think it’s a threat, but now? Our army has been defeated, tens of thousands of troops have been lost on the “Highway of Death”, and even Medina and Mecca have rebelled! Back to Mecca."
As soon as the elder finished speaking, the others made peace, but Faisal, as the prime minister of the kingdom, remained silent, although he had been talking to various people in the past few days. They communicated with each other and reached a consensus long ago. Today... is the day to depose the king.
Of course, after deposing the king, he would personally lead the army to regain what was lost and defeat the rebellious families.
“The restoration of the Hashemite family is not a problem. Our ambassadors in Iraq and Jordan have sent telegrams without the knowledge of both countries. Soon we will regain Medina and Mecca. As for Yemen People..."
Feeling the dissatisfaction of the royal elders and princes, Aziz explained:
"Although the Yemenis have temporarily gained an advantage on the battlefield, it is only temporary..." "Temporarily? They have already gained an advantage..."
Just when they say something When I was arguing, what the people in the palace didn’t know was that, more than ten kilometers away, At high altitude outside, on the B29 bomber, the weapons operator had pressed the button. The giant Thor glide bomb was half exposed in the bomb bay. The moment the six-meter-long giant bomb was dropped, the folding wings opened. The bomb was like a small plane, roaring and gliding towards Riyadh.
At the same time, the picture transmitted through the camera appeared on the TV screen in front of the weapon operator. The crosshairs on the screen shook from time to time, but under the control of the operator, it was still aimed at the city. A building in the northeast corner of the palace, that building is where the royal meeting is held.
In a hotel room about 500 meters away from the palace, a European guest stared at the palace in the distance and said to himself:
"The targets should all be inside now!"
In that building, the royal elders and princes had already begun the final siege against the king. They listed the king's incompetence one by one, and then said loudly .
“For the future of the country, I suggest deposing the king!”
“I agree!”
“I agree!”
Aziz was dumbfounded by the sudden deposing. He had imagined various possibilities, but never thought that Faisal would seize power at this time.
"Faisal, my brother, you must know that now is the time when the foreign enemy is at the forefront,"
Aziz turned his eyes to his brother and asked loudly.
"What are you doing? Are you going to launch a coup?"
"No, just like they said, it is for Saudi Arabia and for our family!"
Just as Faisal finished speaking, he heard a sound coming from the air. The sound was like thunder. Such thunder was rare in the weather in Riyadh.
Is it the revelation of the real pearl?
No, this is science - a bomb weighing nearly six tons, after being dropped from an altitude of 9,000 meters, quickly broke through the sound barrier under the influence of gravity, and made a roar like thunder.
At the moment when its sound shook the whole city, the bomb accurately hit the building where the meeting was being held. It slammed through the dome of the building, like a wall demolition machine, directly destroying the building. The building collapsed, and many people inside were buried directly in the rubble. Before they could react, suddenly, a violent explosion exploded from the ground. Several tons of explosives directly transformed into rockets, destroying the entire building. Pushed up into the sky.
In the billowing smoke, almost half of the Arab-style palace was razed to the ground, and the entire city was deeply shaken by the violent explosion.
