It is never a trivial matter to mobilize the prince to join the war and to deport to grassroots troops.

Fortunately, the King of Shaudi knew the importance of importance.

Two days later, Shi Suliang returned to Khalidi Military City and brought good news.

The King of Saudi Arabia had agreed to his request and sent the prince to the grassroots troops as commanders, and obeyed the dispatch of the Joint Command.

The key is that the King of Saudi Arabia proposed a method that would allow the prince to actively join the army.

During the war, the age of male royal family members of military service was reduced to a minimum, which was only enough to maintain the level of daily living expenses.

To be specific, a prince who has not started a family only has 3,000 gold yuan per month. A prince who has started a family is between 6,000 and 10,000 gold yuan per month depending on the family situation.

In Saudi Arabia, this amount of money is not much!

The per capita GDP of Saudi Arabia has exceeded 20,000 gold, and the monthly income of civilians is above 1,500 gold.

Obviously, for those princes who are used to luxury life, a few thousand gold dollars a month is not much!

But no prince has any objections.

The reason is simple. The global war has begun. Saudi Arabia has borne most of the expenses of the Posa Bay War. Almost all of this money has to be deducted from the royal vault. After all, the national wealth is in the hands of the royal family, and there is no reason for civilians to bear the war expenses.

In comparison, the income of the Saudi royal family and even the entire country has not increased, but has decreased a lot!

After the outbreak of the Posa Bay War, Saudi Arabia's oil exports have been decreasing.

With the outbreak of the global war, Saudi Arabia has begun to impose an embargo on the countries of the Western Continental Group, and oil revenue has dropped by about one-third.

In addition, imports continue to grow.

Not to mention anything else, international food prices have risen by about 30% in August, and are still rising after the outbreak of the global war.

Obviously, the Saudi royal family must find ways to cut expenses.

Of course, this move mainly involves the prince representing the royal family fighting on the front line.

In order to encourage the prince to join the war, the King of Shaudi was also generous.

As long as you fight on the front line, you can get a combat subsidy of 5,000 yuan per month, and additional allowances will be provided according to the number of days of attendance.

In theory, if you serve in a battalion-level unit, you can receive an additional subsidy of 10,000 gold per month.

It would be even more amazing if you make contributions in the battle.

As long as the commander wins the battle, the commander of the unit will be given a reward of at least 1,000 gold per day according to the time of participation in the battle. If a major victory is achieved, such as capturing a town and annihilation of the enemy's main force, you can also get additional rewards.

In short, you can get corresponding rewards after winning the battle.

Because rewards targeting the commanders of the troops are not limited to princes, and officers and soldiers who are not members of the royal family can also benefit, this move can also play a role in improving morale.

However, for many princes, the rewards in terms of money are secondary.

Whether to actively participate in the war will also determine its position in the royal family.

According to the reform plan of the "Royal Asset Management Committee" proposed by the King of Saudi Arabia, future royal veterans, that is, members of the committee, will no longer serve for life, but will adopt a competitive method similar to points, and will be replaced every year based on actual performance.

The main reference standard is "contribution points".

Simply put, the more you contribute to the royal family and the higher the ranking, the more chance you will have to enter the core circle of the royal family during rotation.

Among the points that measure contribution, or the most important thing is military merit.

What you want to say is the ultimate move.

Although there are thousands of princes in Saudi Arabia, there are only a few dozen in the core circle, and the other princes only have royal blood.

The prince who enters the core circle is the "real" prince!

The reason is also very simple: the assets of the Saudi royal family have exceeded 100 billion gold!

Not to mention in Saudi Arabia, looking around the world, no family can match it.

Obviously, compared with the annual annual price of tens of thousands of gold and up to hundreds of thousands of gold, the benefits gained from participating in the operation of royal assets are the real big deal.

In fact, to the present, members of the Saudi Royal Asset Management Committee are still the seven direct sons of its founding king, as well as the sons of these direct sons. It is obvious that for many vulgar princes, there is no opportunity to get involved in the royal assets.

This reform is equivalent to giving thousands of common princes a chance.

If you want to say it, this is also the only way for the Saudi royal family to carry out reforms.

Even if the original system can be maintained, it will be enough to keep Saudi Arabia rich, thereby maintaining and consolidating the royal family's dominance in Saudi Arabia and allowing the direct family to continue to control the country, but there is definitely no way for Saudi Arabia to become a military power, which is said to dominate the Poshawan.

From another perspective, this global war forced the Saudi royal family to carry out self-reform.

To put it bluntly, the powerful combat effectiveness of the Liangxia army in the Poshawan War has made the king of Saudi Arabia and the core members of the royal family realize that if the opportunity for this reform is missed, the royal family of Saudi Arabia may be destroyed before the end of the war.

Fundamentally, what the Liangxia Empire needed was a Saudi land that could fight side by side, rather than a Saudi land that could not do anything.

The key is that Saudi Arabia is too rich.

There is an idiom that can describe Shawu very well.

The crime of possessing a treasure!

As the world's largest oil reserve, producer and exporter, it can make hundreds of billions of gold in profits just by exporting oil every year. 30 million Saudis can live a prosperous life. The Saudi royal family with hundreds of thousands of members is even more famous for its luxury and waste.

The wealth of Saudi Arabia exceeds that of the Fanluo Kingdom, which has a population of more than 20 times that of its population!

Even in the Posa Bay region, compared with the surrounding oil-producing countries, Saudi Arabia has the highest wealth. For example, the population of Posa is twice that of Saudi Arabia, and its oil export income is less than one-third of that of Saudi Arabia, and some of the per capita use of less than half of Saudi Arabia.

In peacetime, peace and stability can also be obtained through the export of interests.

In the war period, it was not so easy.

Not to mention the country of Boyi, which is eyeing the north, and the Garuda Empire that is united in the Crescent Region, even the Liangxia Empire, which is backed by the royal family of Saudi Arabia, may not tolerate a lazy and irresistible ally, let alone the Saudi Arabia has not yet formally formed an alliance with the Liangxia Empire.

Of course, the Saudi royal family has been preparing for reform.

The most convincing thing is that all princes must go to the Royal Military Academy of Saudi Arabia after they become adults, and after graduation, they must serve in the Royal Army, at least for three years. The direct princes who have the right to inherit the throne must serve for three years.

The reason is also very simple. Only by becoming an officer can one gain military command. The army is the basis for maintaining the royal rule.

In addition, almost all the direct princes went to Pakistan and the Liangxia Empire for further study during their service. Some of them also served in the guards under the jurisdiction of the Liangxia royal family, and thus obtained the honorary officer certificate issued by the Liangxia royal family.

This is to maintain friendly relations with the Liangxia Empire.

To put it simply, it is to arrange the prince who has the right to inherit the throne to serve Emperor Liang Xia, so as to recognize that the Liang Xia Empire was the "socchio kingdom" in Saudi Arabia.

The current king of Shawudi served as the guard of Emperor Liangxia more than 20 years ago, and was crowned the crown prince at that time.

Because all the princes have received systematic military training, even though many of them are genuine second-generation ancestors and have not learned anything at all, it is obviously not difficult to find hundreds of talented princes who can command the army to fight.

In fact, for many vulgar princes, joining the army is the main or even the only way out.

That's why the princes attach great importance to this passage. Whether they study in a military academy, or later get the opportunity to study abroad, or even serve in grassroots troops, they have performed well. At least their personal military talents will not be much worse, and there will definitely be no problem leading battalion-company-level troops to fight.

If you want to say it, these vulgar princes have always been the backbone of the Royal Army of Saudi Arabia.

According to Ding Zhennan's understanding, among the grassroots officers of the Royal Army of Saudi Arabia, especially the grassroots officers of the army, princes account for more than 60%.

Among the several Saudi troops who participated in the combat operations, to be precise, were the ones sent to the frontline to endure hardships.

Speaking of which, it was these vulgar princes that made Ding Zhennan change his views on the royal family and army in the Saudi Arabia.

From another perspective, the existence of these vulgar princes also forces the royal family to reform, or delegate power.

Do those vulgar princes who have gained practical experience and are supported by grassroots officers and soldiers have no political ambitions?

For many vulgar princes, what they lack is just an opportunity to grow and grow, and this war brought the opportunity to them.

When thousands of princes take control of military power and their political demands are not met, the consequences will be unimaginable.

If civil strife broke out in the royal family, it would definitely be not only the direct descendants in power, but the entire Saudi royal family, and even the entire country.

As for the current rulers, they will definitely die very ugly.

So, from an objective perspective, the only option for the royal family in Saudi Arabia is to carry out reforms and give more power and interests to those princes who have made military achievements.

In addition, it is through reform to gradually move closer to the secular world.

To be said, the Liangxia Empire has not attached much importance to its relationship with Saudi Arabia. For example, it has not signed an alliance treaty with Saudi Arabia so far. On a big issue, it is because the Saudi Arabia royal family refused to reform and was unwilling to give up power, and never became a normal modern country.

In essence, the Saudis are actually still feudal kingdoms.

Obviously, for the most powerful industrial countries in the world today, we must draw a clear line with the feudal kingdom and maintain an advanced and enlightened image.

Don’t forget that because of its identity as an “imperial”, the Liangxia Empire has been slandered and criticized by “democratic” countries such as the Newland Republic. Even though the Liangxia royal family had already given up the power of governing the country through self-reform and established the most superior national governance system today.

It can be seen that the Liangxia Empire also hopes that Saudi Arabia will carry out reforms!

To be honest, if the Saudi royal family refuses to reform, then after the time comes, all this will be changed through a revolution.

For the Saudi royal family in the center of the rumbling nest, they obviously don't want to see such a thing happen.

In any case, what the king of Saudi Arabia did was actually to maintain the dominance of the royal family, and it was not wrong to say that it was to prosper the royal family's life.

For those vulgar princes who have been excluded for a long time and are outside the core circle, this is also a great opportunity to turn things around!

In Shi Suliang's words, after the King of Saudi Arabia issued the royal reform plan, thousands of princes expressed their willingness to serve in grassroots troops.

However, it is not just the prince who wants to go to the grassroots troops.

According to the arrangements of the royal family in Saudi Arabia, a guard squad will be arranged for each prince, and all the guards are from the royal guards.
