() In the command room, Cang Long just said "Oh" and said nothing more. Vivian walked over hurriedly, grabbed the documents in Cang Long's hand, and said: "I said it was a mess outside, and the people have besieged the province. Zheng Fu, there is a demonstration going on, did you hear it?"
"I know." Canglong looked unconcerned, "What you have in your hand is the best way for me to solve the problem."
Vivian was stunned for a moment and finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, when she read the document in her hand, her expression suddenly changed. This was an order. The content of the order was very simple. The Prophet Army was dispatched in full force.
"This is your way to solve the problem, send troops to suppress it." Vivian was in disbelief. "If you do this, all our efforts will be destroyed. Who will believe in you as a prophet?"
"Besides dispatching the army, what other options do you have?" Canglong asked, "read the document in your hand carefully and explain it word by word."
Vivian was extremely angry, but she calmed down and read the document, but her face became even worse when she saw that Canglong sent out the Prophet Army to suppress, not to suppress the people, but to suppress the US military and all the Prophet Army troops. We have already headed to the US military base. We are going to start a war with the US military.
If Canglong went to suppress the people, it would be okay. Although this is a bad idea, at least it is to solve the problem. But to attack the US military base, this is nothing. It is already a mess. If you attack the US military base, it will only make the already very troubled. Chaos in Basra will lead to complete chaos and may even lead to war, giving the Americans an excuse.
"Did you commit suicide because your brain was burned out?" Vivian looked at Canglong seriously, "Give me a reasonable explanation."
"You still haven't finished reading the document." Canglong shook his head, "Look, if you are so worried about such a trivial matter, what will you do in the future?"
Hearing this, Vivian suddenly looked indignant and said to herself, Mom, I am busy with other things. Now there are internal and external troubles, merchant ships are seized by the US military, and there is civil strife in Basra. You guys say this is a trivial matter.
Seeing that Vivian was furious, Canglong quickly said: "Okay, calm down, calm down, calm down first, then we can deal with the next problem."
"How do you tell me to calm down, you damn bastard." Vivian cursed directly.
"Okay." Cang Long looked helpless, "It seems that I can't hide it. In fact, I didn't plan to rely on domestic food supply from the beginning. It was just a bait, you know, prepared for Natasha. Bait.”
"Bait." Vivian looked confused, but calmed down.
"Yes, it's the bait. Without this bait, how could Natasha relax her vigilance?" Canglong said, standing up and pointing to the US military base on the map of Basra, "I have been preparing this move for a long time. , after our coup, the reason why we did not attack the US military base was, firstly, because it would anger the Americans, and secondly, it was just for now."
"Did you attack the US military base to kidnap the US troops inside and let the Americans release the merchant ships?" Vivian looked strange.
"No, no, no, that's too dangerous. What's the difference between hijacking a US military base like this and being a gangster? It's not good for the whole world to see it. There are so many international reporters in Basra. I don't want them to see our hooligan behavior, but" Canglong originally said I still wanted to give it a try, but when I saw Vivian's murderous look, I knew I couldn't do it if I didn't say anything. "Actually, the US military base is kept to provide us with food."
"Provide food." Vivian was even more incredible, "Do you think Americans are stupid and will provide us with food?"
"Of course they won't, so we need to borrow. Now we can only dispatch the Prophet Army to borrow food from the US military base." Canglong said with a smile.
"Even if you capture the entire US military base, you still won't be able to solve the current food shortage in Basra." Vivian said coldly.
"It seems that you, the administrative minister, don't care much about intelligence." Canglong said and handed her another document. "These are the recent arrival records of planes at Basra Airport, and the freight records at the train station. Most of them are Most of them are supplies provided to the US military base. Thanks to Natasha, the US military base now has no less than two million kilograms of food stored in it. This is also Natasha's backup."
"She transported so much supplies to the US military base just in case. If something unexpected happens, she is prepared to let the soldiers of the US military base defend the base, and then carry out a combined internal and external attack." Vivian finally understood. .
"Yes, you have to take credit for this. Your empty city plan was so good that Natasha was not absolutely sure, so she could only make preparations in advance in case of war and ensure that the US military base must be nailed down. In Basra, this just solves our current crisis." Canglong looked thoughtful, "What is that sentence called? To untie the bell, you need someone to tie it. Natasha gave us a difficult problem, but she had already written it for us. Got the answer.”
"You are really dangerous." Natasha said coldly, "But if we attack the US military base and Natasha launches an all-out attack on us, what will you do?"
"You're stupid. I already said we were going to borrow food. Since we are going to borrow food, of course we have to issue an IOU. Moreover, we will bring reporters and other things with us to borrow. By then the whole world will know that Americans can What should we do?" Cang Long said, "Not only can't attack them, but we must also thank them for borrowing food, and thank them to the whole world."
"If you were guilty just now, then I think you are really dirty now." Vivian sarcastically said, "But this is the best way to deal with Americans."
In about a few hours, the Prophet Army completed its deployment and surrounded the US military base. Bai Wuchang drove the J-7M and circled not far from the US military base at all times.
Without the need to report to the consulate, the intelligence officers at the US military base in Baghdad have captured the large-scale operations of the Prophet Army from drone reconnaissance. The intelligence officers at the US military base looked incredulous.
"No, the Prophet Army has been dispatched." Natasha was enjoying her afternoon coffee when the intelligence officer hurried in.
"Why are you panicking? Can the Prophet's army still reach Baghdad?" Natasha scolded, "What's going on?"
"The Prophet's Army is dispatched."
"Oh, he finally couldn't help but send out the army to suppress the rioting people." Natasha was a little surprised, but not very surprised.
"No, your Excellency, Commander, the Prophet Army has been dispatched and has surrounded the US military base. Spy satellites and drones discovered the problem immediately. The consulate's report and the request for help from the Basra base have also arrived," the intelligence officer said.
"Damn it." After hearing the news, Natasha made a face, put down her coffee and came to the command room. She naturally knew how much food was stored in the Basra base. "How soon can the Air Force reach the sky above Basra?"
"Half an hour," Chief of Staff Felix said.
"Have the Air Force send a combat team to Basra to bomb all the Prophet's troops besieging the base." Vivian ordered.
Felix was about to contact the air force base when the intelligence officer just now said: "Your Excellency Commander, we cannot bomb the Prophet Army because they did not attack the base. According to the news from Basra Base, the Prophet Army is borrowing food from us. Solve the current food shortage in Basra, and there are also journalists from various countries in the Prophet's Army."
"This bastard." Natasha's face was ashen and she cursed in her heart, but she said, "You are borrowing food from us with weapons."
"Yes." The intelligence officer looked helpless, "Even if the air force is dispatched, it will be useless, because the Prophet Army is equipped with a sufficient number of missiles and two J-7Ms. Before the air force arrives, I am afraid that the base will be like a prison in Qatar. It has been breached, and as soon as our planes take off, they will get the news and attack the base."
"The main problem is image. The Prophet Army brought reporters from international media in the name of borrowing food. Obviously they are not prepared to confront us head-on. But if we attack first, even if we defeat the Prophet Army, our image will be damaged. Damage, after all, there is a food shortage in Basra, and we are humanitarian. If we do nothing to save us, it will only make us passive. What will the world think of us?" The sea eagle appeared in the command room at some point, smoking a cigarette and still had a look on his face. Comfortable.
Vivian was silent. Canglong was obviously intimidating them, but they couldn't stop it from happening.
"I knew he was not so easy to deal with. I lost this opportunity and I don't know when the next time will be." Vivian suddenly calmed down and walked towards the door after speaking.
Felix asked: "Colonel, do you want more for the Air Force?"
"Are you going out to scold me?" Natasha asked, and then left the command room.
Back in the office, Natasha was so angry that she threw things. Two hours later, the sea eagle came. Seeing the mess in Natasha's room, it was clear that she was still angry.
"After working for so long, we haven't gained anything." As he said, Haidiao took out a newspaper called Basra Times.
It states that the U.S. military used the reserves of the base to solve the food shortage in Basra. The government of Basra Province and the Prophet's Army expressed their great gratitude. The Prophet came out specifically to thank the U.S. military base for its generosity.
The newspaper also attached a picture, which showed the Prophet Army carrying food from the US military base.
Natasha tore the newspaper into pieces and looked at the sea eagle: "Uncle Sam, are you angry with me on purpose?"
"I just hope you calm down." Sea Eagle smiled and picked up the torn newspaper. "Look, the material of this newspaper is so good. Newspapers appeared so quickly. Basra's media was established very quickly."
Natasha's expression changed, she picked it up and began to ponder: "It's getting harder and harder to deal with him."
"Since we can't deal with him now, why not just change the target." Haidiao smiled and said, "Let's give him time."
"What you mean is." Natasha looked thoughtful, "but if he grows stronger, it will become increasingly difficult to deal with him."
"Saddam's Republican Guard is strong enough." Haidiao said with a smile, "They are not beaten to pieces by us. We will always have the advantage in terms of force. No matter how strong he develops, it will be in vain. I know why you have always been Are you so passive?"
"Why."
"Because you always do it yourself." Hai Diao asked, "but you completely ignore the power of the security forces. In Chinese terms, the new government is orthodox."
"I understand." Natasha suddenly reacted, "This guy has been using Basra locals and reporters to deal with us, but we have been doing it ourselves. This will only make him more and more passive and hostile to us. The worse it is."
"It's not us, it's you alone." Hai Diao reminded, "When you are playing against a familiar person, don't get too involved in personal emotions, or even have emotions. Do you understand?"
"Old guy, you don't need to teach me a lesson." Natasha said dissatisfied, but in fact she respected the sea eagle very much.
