Capítulo 556: Chapter 129, When the Fake is Done Truly, the Fake Turns Real

In the Middle East region, the Austrian Army launched a two-pronged attack on the Ottoman Empire. One contingent set out from the Sinai Peninsula, aiming for Jerusalem; the other took to the seas, setting its sights directly on the Kuwait Region.

The natural conditions in the Kuwait region are harsh, characterized by a tropical desert climate with aridity, scant rainfall, and frequent sandstorms. Its entire territory is a wasteland unsuitable for agricultural production.

Before the discovery of oil resources, the region didn't attract much attention. It was only in 1871 that the Ottoman Empire established a county in Kuwait, a feat resulting from the Age of Exploration.

The Kuwait region does possess excellent ports, and to further develop the domestic economy, the Sultan Government planned to build a railway for direct access from the Persian Gulf into the Indian Ocean.
