Romanian Eagle

Chapter 784: The Jordanian Uprising

In a remote mosque in the northeast corner of Amman, the heads of people are now standing, and everyone is excited because today they are discussing a major event.

In the center of the main seat, Ibrahim, dressed in a traditional white Arab robe, is discussing secret affairs with carefully selected tribal heads and chiefs.

"Everyone knows their plans, right?"

In the face of Ibrahim's question, everyone present answered. "understood."

Seeing the replies present, Ibrahim pointed to a European-looking person on his left and continued. "This is Mr. Rawls from Romania, and his people will follow us. This time they will help us drive out the British. For the selfless help of our Romanian friends, the people of Allah will always remember in their hearts. "

In the face of Ibrahim's introduction, Rawls nodded to the people present.

Those who attended the meeting before had guessed from his position. After Ibrahim's official introduction, everyone felt full of confidence, which was won on the Romanian battlefield. Although Jordan is no better than Europe, the news is not blocked, and it is also full of attention to the war in Europe.

The people present were not stunned. They knew that Jordan alone would give them 180 years to gain independence (supporting national independence after World War II was the only thing the US and the Soviet Union were willing to do together).

Therefore, seeking external assistance has become an important factor in Jordan's independence. After they learned from Ibrahim a few months ago that they have obtained the independence support of a certain country, they have been wondering who this is. Germany, Romania, Italy, the Soviet Union, and the United States are all guessing, but Ibrahim's tone is very tight and he doesn't say it at all. It wasn't until today that they knew that they supported Romania, so it's not surprising that all kinds of expressions .

And Ibrahim is also very satisfied with the expressions of the people on the scene, at least it shows that the person he chooses will not ask random questions. Even if the task was just assigned, they could hold back their curiosity and not ask.

As for Rawls, he greeted them kindly under the introduction of Ibrahim. "My name is Rawls, I'm from Romania, nice to meet you all."

Although Rawls did not speak much, he still received warm applause.

Under the influence of national independence in recent years, the discerning people in Jordan have long been tired of being ruled by others. They have always wanted to be their own masters. That is why they united with the 38th generation of Hashemites during the Arab uprising. Next to Hussein ibn Ali.

However, after the war, Britain and France gave up their demands for independence of the Arabs, and instead divided Jordan, Palestine, Syria, Iraq and other places seized from the Ottomans between the two countries.

This greatly disappointed the most independent Arabs. They expressed their dissatisfaction one after another, but Britain and France ignored them.

They even demanded that the Syrian Kingdom, which had declared independence, should revoke its independence on its own. In the face of French intimidation, Syrian Defense Minister Youssef Azme organized a volunteer army to conduct desperate resistance in Metheron, 30 kilometers away from Damascus.

This also greatly hit the Arabs' independence sentiment and made it easier for Britain and France to divide the Middle East colonies.

Later, under the pressure of Britain and France, Hussein Ibn Ali had to give up his idea of ​​an Arab kingdom and could only be the king of Hejaz, but later he unified Najd and Hejaz in Ibn Saud and formed the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia , so that Ali can only hide in the Jordanian outpost.

It can be said that the Hashemite family reached its peak in the Arab uprising and was quickly suppressed by all parties.

Now that Romania is coming, Abdullah feels the opportunity. Now he plans to get his kingdom from the Romanians. Of course, it is best to combine Iraq, Jordan and Syria to form an Arab kingdom.

It's just that Romania needs to agree to this, but as far as Rawls knows, the possibility is basically zero.

Ibrahim didn't turn around until the assignee left. "Mr. Rawls, I'm sorry to reveal your identity now."

"It's okay, I'll let everyone know sooner or later anyway. It's an honor to help you accomplish this feat."

Obviously, Rawls is now indifferent to his exposure. As long as the Arabs can surprise Britain and France on schedule, then everything is worth it.

...

January 24 is no different from any other day, except today it is different in places like Jordan and Palestine. In a small village outside the city of Haifa, a large number of people gathered, armed with weapons in their hands, listening to the speech of a chief on the high platform.

"The British took our cattle and sheep and made us pay taxes to support them, all because we didn't have our own country. Now we don't pay the British any more, and we don't allow them to recruit our people to give They gave their lives, and we have to decide our own destiny."

After the chief finished speaking, the people present kept cheering loudly. "To be independent, to drive out the British."

Although they had no idea how to get rid of the British, the weapons in their hands now gave them strength. Although these are cumbersome old-fashioned rifles, they still give them confidence.

...

Mafraq in Jordan is a key city connecting Damascus to Amman, and there have been roads connecting the two places since ancient times. On a bridge outside Mafraq, a group of Arabs are busy on the bridge. Judging by the equipment and items they were carrying, it was definitely not bridge maintenance staff.

"Bring the explosives here."

A European-looking man is directing others under the pier. But judging from the fact that he wanted explosives, he was a complete saboteur.

That's right, he's the advisor to this sabotage team. Because the road from Damascus to Amman was the point, each detachment was assigned a demolition specialist, and this was obviously one of the detachments.

Of course, the British are not stupid, and they have sent people to guard the bridges and tunnels. It's just that there are fewer of these people, they have already driven them away, and now they are busy blowing up the bridge.

"boom!"

With the sound of an explosion, the bridge was blown up. And the team that completed the task immediately packed up and left, they would not be foolish to wait here for the furious British army to pack themselves up.

On this day, the large-scale sabotage activities in Palestine and Jordan made the local British army unable to pay attention.

Moreover, it is not safe in the city, and the local people who were called by Abdullah also destroyed various facilities.

The large-scale riots of the local people caused the British army to be violent. Wavell, as the commander, immediately sensed the danger from it. He immediately ordered the local defenders to suppress those that could be suppressed, and those that could not be suppressed to wait for help. The others immediately sent a report to the French army to inform the situation.

It's just that the French army doesn't care about his telegram now, because the Romanian landing force has already appeared in the sea off Lebanon.
