After learning that the entire Musandam was occupied, the supreme commander Badr was killed in battle, and the chief of staff Hamid was captured; Qaboos Sultan almost vomited blood. In one day, there were more than 10,000 animals, and the people of Fuqaira could not catch them. Now they are completely wiped out. Is it because the enemy is too strong or the Omani army is too incompetent.
Now the problem must be solved, and it is clear that it is useless to ask others, only Saudi Arabia can help. Qaboos, though reluctant, made a secret phone call with the Saudi royal family. Now the radio has not been restored and can only be communicated through this way.
The Saudi ambassador abroad has reported the relevant situation to the country, so the Saudi royal family is aware of what happened before Oman and Fujairah. Before Oman wanted to attack Fucaira, the Saudi royal family knew a little bit. Prince Sultan also reminded Bao Zixuan. Unexpectedly, on the first day of the war, the party who took the initiative to attack was almost wiped out.
To know that in this region, the strength of Oman may be weaker than that of Saudi Arabia. Could it be that Fucaira's military strength has surpassed that of Saudi Arabia. It's not that there is no such possibility, it's just that people are usually not high-profile. It seems that we really need to strengthen cooperation and enter the stage of modern warfare, and the model has undergone tremendous changes.
After realizing the seriousness of the matter, Prince Sultan decided to visit in person. As the regional boss, and the other party is also his son-in-law, it is suitable to be a mediator.
Fucaira is currently the dominant side, so he wants to hear what the Omani side has to say.
Sultan Qaboos had not slept all night, and could not sleep at all at this moment. Seeing Prince Sultan coming, it seemed like he was grabbing a life-saving straw. The fighting in Musandam province was over, but it was flanked by both Fucaira and the People's Camp for the Liberation of Oman; plus the air force and navy, as well as other heavy weapons, were exhausted. If you can't think of a way, then I don't know whether Oman can still exist.
Prince Sultan was not polite, and said directly: "I want to know who launched the attack first. Only in this way can we proceed to the next topic."
Although it's a loss, I know I can't hide it. And it is indeed Oman's shelling of Fucaira, and it is normal for others to fight back. It can't just be me hitting you, you can't hit me!
Qaboos: "It was Oman who launched the attack on Fuzaira first. For this, Oman has realized the mistake. Therefore, I hope that Fuzaira will not care about it. Both parties can return to the negotiating table. As long as it is a condition. We can agree to all points. At the same time, I hope they will not support the liberation of the Omani people’s camp, after all, this is an internal Omani matter.”
It seems that the old boy was really convinced, otherwise, with his character, he would not be soft-spoken easily. Before coming here, he already understood Bao Zixuan's thoughts; knowing that he was interested in Hassandam Province, he just didn't know what the Oman side was thinking.
But since you are a mediator, you must speak out about what might happen.
Prince Sultan: "I want to know how many concessions the Oman side can make, whether it is territory, reparations, or something else."
Hearing the territory, Qaboos immediately understood what it meant. Sultan's relationship with Bao Zixuan is no secret in the Middle East. After the combination has completely occupied Musandam, the speed of advancement in other directions is not fast. Musandam is basically certain that he can't keep it.
Do you have to fight and keep fighting; the Omani army is incapable of fighting on two fronts. I used to feel like I could, but now it seems like a joke. This is only Fucaira, if confronted with other powers; it is estimated that Oman will cease to exist.
Qaboos: "I know what His Royal Highness means, about Musandam Oman can give up, as for the other impossible. At the same time, the army of Fujairah must withdraw from the territory of Oman."
Everyone knows that now is not the time to hesitate. Because every minute of delay increases the enemy's appetite.
Since you can even give up territory, things will be a lot easier. As for the war indemnity, it is estimated that Bao Zixuan really does not lack anything.
In fact, Qaboos was able to give up Musandam, because it was not Oman and his family's inherent territory before. It's just because the other party wants to merge into Oman; it's a pity to let it go now, but there is no way to do it.
Prince Sultan did not stop, but went directly to Fucaira. I wanted to see what Bao Zixuan was thinking, and at the same time, I wanted to know what kind of weapons and equipment the opponent used that could produce such a destructive effect.
Seeing Omani weapons and equipment along the way, they basically turned into scrap iron. The air could still smell burnt, and the soldier-turned-Prince Sultan certainly understood what was going on. That kid actually used incendiary weapons, no wonder Oman suffered such heavy casualties.
Soon I came to Fucaira. After all, the distance between the two countries is too close.
Seeing Prince Sultan, Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Why did you alarm the old man, it really shouldn't be."
Prince Sultan knows Bao Zixuan very well, and of course he knows that this kid is not a loser. Qaboos is definitely on something, but outsiders don't know it yet.
But now is not the time to reminisce, and Oman is still waiting for a reply. The Strait of Hormuz is related to international crude oil transportation. If there is a war, Saudi Arabia will also suffer losses.
Prince Sultan: "With such a big move, can I not come! Qaboos has conceded defeat and can negotiate anything he wants. But you can do it too, you are so well prepared. Even the liberation of the people of Oman is taking advantage of it. Otherwise, with Qaboos' character, he will definitely fight to the end with you."
Bao Zixuan did not answer directly, but said with a smile: "You always feel that I should ask for something, whether it is land or indemnity."
Make it clear that it is cheap or good, you have already made a choice, and let me answer.
But since he promised to be a mediator, he still had to do his due diligence.
Prince Sultan said with a smile: "It's just the two of us here, so don't hide it. It's not necessary to say so many polite words. And many things, just stop in moderation. The Americans have taken precautions against you, Watch out for them jumping over the wall."
"Qaboos means that the two enclaves in Oman, Musandam and Madha, can be given to you. As for the compensation, you don't need that money. And don't support Yemen, I feel Still very sincere."
The other party is willing to give up the territory, and Bao Zixuan can't go too far.
Bao Zixuan: "Since the old man has been disturbed, let's do it this way. As long as the agreement is signed, the Fuqaira army can withdraw immediately; as for the liberation of the Omani people's camp, it has nothing to do with me. But I will not in the future. It does matter, and Oman can rest assured on this point.”
Even if you have a relationship, you can't admit it. As long as you don't support it in the future, no one can fault it.
Prince Sultan didn't talk nonsense either, and directly took out the documents that Qaboos had signed. It turned out that the other party was already prepared, which saved a lot of trouble.
However, Bao Zixuan would not sign this name. At least procedurally illegal. It's not good for Sultan to see the salad, so he can only let people take it to the back, and the bodyguard immediately understands what it means. After the salad was signed, he took it back Prince Sultan did not talk nonsense, and signed his name on the witness. So far, the two enclaves in Oman belong to Fucaira.
As for the liberation of the Omani people's camp, that is Oman's internal affairs. It has nothing to do with him anymore. Whether they can hold the occupied territory or not depends on their good fortune.
The Soviet instructors can also leave; I didn't expect it to be so smooth; but they still paid the salary according to the agreed price. Although no war reparations were received, so much land, as well as the buildings above and the oil below; are all huge wealth. Of course, the most important thing is the strategic location, which is the envy of both the United States and the Soviet Union.
After Prince Sultan completed the task, he did not stay too much; he returned to Oman with the signed documents. It’s impossible to be unhappy now, after all, Oman can’t stand it anymore.
Bao Zixuan also immediately ordered Fucaira's troops to stop the attack. Regarding the Sharjah issue, both Abu Dhabi and Dubai came out to intercede, showing that everything was a misunderstanding; they were willing to compensate for the losses caused to Fucaira.
Bao Zixuan didn't make too much demands on this, he just took a little bit symbolically. It's not that he is generous, he just doesn't want people to feel that Fucaira is insatiable. It can be regarded as peace in this region, and there is no plan to leave the UAE at present; therefore, the face that should be given should still be given enough.
