Rui did not expect that Hai Han would act so quickly. Before he could put his planned attack on the Xihu tribe into action, he had already received an invitation from Fubo Port, inviting him to represent Portugal to attend the ceremony of the founding of the Xihu tribe.
"This is simply too much!"
After reading the invitation, Rui became furious, thinking that this was done intentionally by the Hai Han people and that they wanted to take this opportunity to humiliate him in person.
But he soon calmed down. Since his actions against Fubo Port had not been exposed, the invitation from the Hai Han people might not be a measure of retaliation. Perhaps it was just a coincidence.
However, the tribes around the Xihu tribe were far from completing their preparations and could not launch an offensive in advance. Rui knew that his plan to attack the Xihu tribe would not be completed before the founding ceremony.
This means that he can no longer come up with any effective way to prevent the Xihu tribe from establishing a country in the near future.
Hai Han's purpose was obvious: to support the Xihu tribe and make it another vassal state. As a Portuguese, Rui had heard of many examples of this tactic.
Although Rui could not guess what Hai Han’s plans were, he knew that after Xihu became a vassal state of Hai Han, it would definitely receive Hai Han’s protection, and it would be difficult for the surrounding tribal armed forces to pose a threat to it.
At this time, he had not yet thought about the real purpose of Hai Han's assistance to Xihu in establishing the country, but subconsciously thought that his plan would be disrupted.
Rui could certainly choose not to go to Fubo Port to participate in this unpleasant event, but the other party issued the invitation in the name of the Hai Han Executive Committee. If he refused, his attitude would seem too blunt.
He was also worried that Hai Han’s invitation was a test. If he did not go, the other party might regard him as being guilty.
After much consideration, Rui Yi decided to make this trip. Firstly, it was to avoid the Hai Han people having a bad impression of him. Secondly, he wanted to take this opportunity to explore the Fubo Port and see how big a situation the Hai Han people had built there.
Hormuz Island is only more than 200 miles away from Fubo Port, and a speedboat can reach it in just over a day, so Rui does not need to go too early.
Compared to the anxious Portuguese, officials from various countries who had already arrived at Fubo Port did not have so many concerns. They were fortunate to witness with their own eyes how a country was created from scratch in the hands of Hai Han.
In fact, after coming into contact with local Arabs, these foreign officials realized that the soon-to-be-established Hijra State was even smaller than those small countries with a population of only tens of thousands on the Malay Peninsula.
The total population of Xihu Country is less than 10,000, probably less than the number of special warfare divisions. The territory looks quite large, at least a few hundred miles in radius, but it is sparsely populated, and more than 90% of it is uninhabited desert.
The only city under the jurisdiction of Xihu is located in the heart of the desert a hundred miles away. The Fubo Port currently being built by Hai Han was previously just a fishing village under the jurisdiction of the Xihu tribe. With such basic conditions, it would be great if it could maintain its survival, let alone develop as a country.
But everyone knows that Hai Han has a very unique vision in selecting targets for support, and the results are quite remarkable. Although the Xihu tribe does not have good basic conditions, it must have outstanding qualities in other aspects to be favored by Hai Han.
Some people went out of their way to get close to the Arabs and inquire about the news, but they soon discovered that these Arabs were also confused about their own luck and had no idea why Hai Han provided so many special benefits to the Xihu tribe.
Of course, there are also those who feel good about themselves and believe that it is because the bravery and fighting skills of the Xihu warriors have been recognized by Hai Han that so many resources have been poured into supporting the Xihu tribe in establishing their country.
However, foreign officials who heard this statement generally did not take it seriously. Given the equipment level of these Arab warriors, no matter how brave and good at fighting they were, in the eyes of the Hai Han people they were just a group of primitive people using cold weapons.
The only Arab who knew something about this was probably little Abdullah. At the banquet to welcome Shi Diwen and his party, Qian Tiandun had mentioned when introducing Tian Yeyou that he was a prospecting expert from Hai Han who specialized in exploring various treasure veins buried deep underground.
Although Qian Tiandun did not explain why a technical official like Tian Yeyou came to Fubo Port, little Abdullah had already guessed about 70% of it, most likely because there were valuable mineral deposits in the area near Fubo Port. This also explains why Hai Han would take a fancy to the mediocre Xihu tribe.
However, young Abdullah, who knew this information, had already rushed back to the city of Xihu to pick up the old chief. It was not so easy for foreign officials who came here to find out the whole story from the Arabs.
However, during their contacts with the Arabs, the military attachés of various countries learned that they were receiving military training from Hai Han, and they immediately became itchy to show off their skills.
Seven out of ten of these foreign military attachés who are qualified to follow the Hai Han fleet to Fubo Port have experience studying and training in Hai Han. Many of them have even served in the Hai Han army as foreign cadets for a period of time. It can be said that their abilities are inherited from Hai Han, and they are from the same school as these Arab cadets.
In this way, the skills demonstrated by these foreign military attachés on the training ground became the best examples and models for the Arab students.
If the Arab students are still at the entry level, then these foreign military attachés can be considered to have made some progress. The Arab students can also get a glimpse of what kind of professional level they can reach after continuous learning and training.
Even Qian Tiandun and Shi Diwen, who were watching, were impressed to see that these officers from different countries could complete combat missions with the same tactical moves under unified military command.
This is the result of Hai Han's continuous export of military influence over the past thirty years. All of these vassal states and affiliated armies, from troop organization and weapons and equipment to tactical movements, combat skills, and strategic thinking, all come from Hai Han, which allows these soldiers from different countries to operate together smoothly in a very short period of time.
The Arabs were stunned. The tactics they had recently learned, which seemed useless and even ridiculous to them, seemed to have a completely different power when demonstrated by these foreign officers.
It turns out that the seemingly rigid linear array can have such a powerful firepower output, and the transition between shooting queues can be so smooth and uniform. This also made them ask themselves whether they have really put in all their efforts in what they have learned and practiced recently.
