A month later, the shadow left by that war still lingers. For the international community, the war between Basra and the remnants of the Baath Party has been directly ignored. The number of casualties on both sides is not what reporters would care about. Compared with Here they are more concerned about what happened in Baghdad, just because there are Americans there,
But Basra is different. Since the economy recovered and people's living standards improved, people's desire to regain lost ground has become stronger and stronger. The Detachment of Women marches almost every day, hoping that the "government" can spend more money to arm the army.
If you observe carefully, you will find that the slogan used by the Detachment of Women during the march was "recovery", not rebellion. Just by listening to this word, you can judge the psychology of the people in Basra. They think that they are the orthodox and the new "government" in Baghdad is They are puppets of the Americans, so they feel that the Prophet's army marched into the central provinces and even into Baghdad just to regain lost territory and unify Iraq.
After the victory of the war against the Baath Party, this sentiment was further encouraged. Parades by the Detachment of Women were held almost every day. For other "governments", such demonstrations were extremely troublesome. If it were a dictatorial "government", it would definitely suppress them directly. Of course, the democratic "government" can only appease, and then it will cause a headache,
But the "government" in Basra doesn't care at all. If you conduct in-depth investigation, you will find that the Women's Army's daily parades are almost purposeful. They have greatly inspired the local people's enthusiasm for work and at the same time made the entire Basra cohesion Reached the highest point in history,[
Of course, Susu's intelligence agency is behind all this. If you want to make the entire Basra airtight, the best way is to make the people's values incline towards national and national justice. Although this is suspected of brainwashing, the job of the intelligence agency is In this way, it's just that Su Su's actions are more obvious.
And this effect is even more obvious. At least spies from various countries can't get valuable intelligence from Basra. Everything is under Susu's control. He doesn't need to monitor foreign spies at all, because the people do not allow anyone to betray Basra, or in other words, The betrayal of the prophet occurred,
These days, Su Su has been thinking about the question some time ago, but in the end he did not get a reasonable answer. He thought he would not be very busy recently, but soon he discovered that was not the case. Although his intelligence network was secretly It was airtight, and the people trusted the prophet so much that someone still broke into Basra.
No matter how peaceful the period is, there are always people who are willing to become spies. However, this situation rarely happens in Basra, but when it happens, it is fatal. At least Susu thinks so.
Especially when he investigated who was bribing senior officials in Basra, Susu's face became very bad. He could no longer handle the matter alone, so he found Canglong and reported the matter. went up,
Canglong looked at the list, but unusually he didn't care. He just smiled and said, "What do you think I should do?" "This matter involves the General Intelligence Bureau. If we do it forcefully, it won't be easy to explain to the higher ups. I think It should be reported to Director Li and let her handle it." Su Su said,
"When I encounter trouble, I let women come forward. Do you think this is in line with my character?" Canglong asked,
"This is not a matter of face." Su Su's face was solemn, "If the General Intelligence Agency has good intentions, then that's it, but I always feel that the agents of the General Intelligence Agency are not as simple as they appear."
"Hasn't the true purpose been discovered?" Canglong asked,
"To be precise, they didn't take any drastic action. They just bribed some officials and began to infiltrate the top levels of the military and the government. The highest level of contact with them was" At this point, Su Su hesitated again.
"Who?" Canglong's face turned cold.
"Vice Governor Assad." Susu said calmly,
"Oh." Canglong's face calmed down again, and after a while he said, "Since the General Intelligence Bureau is willing to spend money to express condolences to my officials, then let them express their condolences. You must have some confidence in yourself."
"But" Su Su said worriedly, "if they try to drain us at the critical moment, then"
Hearing this, Canglong suddenly laughed: "Don't you trust your superiors too?"
Su Su's face changed and she quickly explained: "It's not that I don't trust the superiors, I just trust some politicians from the superiors, so we have to be on guard."
"Oh." Canglong suddenly asked, "Then do you think there is any difference between Basra now and Basra before?"
Hearing this, Su Su suddenly became silent. In the eyes of many people, this question is easy to answer, but in Su Su's eyes, it is not that simple. On the outside, Basra seems to be prosperous, but in fact, Basra is surrounded by crises. The so-called common man's crime is the crime of possessing a treasure. Basra has so much oil, which is the crime.
For example, Africa, which is impoverished, has wars almost every day, but the whole world's attention is on the Middle East. Africa only has sand, while the Middle East has oil. This is due to human nature, [
The reason why there is no crisis yet is mainly because the enemy has not found an opportunity. But once an opportunity is found, Basra will inevitably fall into a life-or-death situation.
"Basra is more difficult now than before." Susu said with a solemn face. "Although Basra was in war before, people lived in a society without any faith. But now Basra has faith. Yes, and this kind of belief is the most terrifying thing. Boss, you have bundled more than two million people in Basra into your chariot. Once you fall, these two million people will also fall with you. "
"Then do you think we still have a way out?" Canglong asked,
"Yes." Su shook her head,
"Since there is, then why are you hesitating? Just continue driving this chariot and fight for justice." Canglong said calmly,
"For justice." There was a puzzled expression on Su's face. When he heard the word justice, he felt relieved.
The answer in my heart suddenly appeared. Although in the eyes of many people, this answer may be so hypocritical and ridiculous, but looking back on everything they have done, it is actually closely related to these two words. At least they have achieved the most basic thing. justice,
"Is there anything else?" Canglong asked,
"Yes." Su said, taking out another document and handing it to him, "This is news from intelligence agents sent to Iran, and it also includes information about the border area."
Canglong frowned. He picked up the document and looked at it carefully. His face became more and more ugly. His hunch was accurate. The war was approaching Basra. This time they would not face Americans. , and they are not the security forces of the central government, but Iran, which has a 300-kilometer territorial border with Basra.
Su's intelligence revealed in detail the intentions of the Iranian military's top brass. They wanted to invade Fa'o, the important town on the border with Basra.
The city of Fao is unfamiliar to people who are not familiar with Iraq, but anyone who knows a little bit about Iraq will be aware of Fao's important geographical location.
Fa'ao, one of the two ports in Iraq, has only 20 kilometers of coastline, so Basra Port and Fa'ao Port have become the main ports for Iraq's oil export, and they are also Iraq's only exports by sea. Once Fa'ao Port is occupied,
The port of Basra is under threat,
The most important thing is that Faao City has more than a thousand oil wells, including a first-class oil well, which is also one of the two first-class oil fields that Canglong has auctioned mining rights for.
Those more than a thousand oil wells are also in a closed state. This is not because Canglong does not want to exploit, but because Fao is the largest oil port in Iraq and is responsible for Iraq's oil foreign trade. However, its geographical location is astonishingly poor.
The border is only a few dozen kilometers long.
Therefore, in history, every time there was a war, France and Austria were one of the main targets of enemy attacks. When the Iraq War began, the U.S. Navy deployed heavy troops, and their main target of attack was probably France.
profound,
Fortunately, Canglong was not eager to exploit the oil fields in Fa'ao, but Fa'ao was the focus of Oriental International's investment. It was already very rich and suitable for planting, but now the Iranian army is stationed on the border, with the intention of embezzling Fa'ao.
Canglong couldn't calm down. You must know that Iran's army is not the rabble of the Baath Party. They are organized and organized. In addition, it is next to Iran, and Basra has almost no advantage at all.
"We almost have a navy, but Iran's navy is one of the strongest in the region, not to mention the air force, and its military is more threatening than the other two arms." Su's face was solemn.
He said, "If we really want to fight, with our current military strength, it is impossible to win unless there is another miracle."
"What do you think is the possibility of Iran sending troops to the border?" Canglong asked seriously,
"Ninety percent." Su said directly, "Compared to any time in history, now is the best time for Iran to invade France and Austria. The reason why the Baath Party threatens us and goes to war with us is that Iran is instigating it behind the scenes, hoping to
The whole of Basra was put into the hands of the Baath Party they supported, so that Iran could monopolize the oil here, but unfortunately Iran did not succeed, so he had to do it himself."
As he said that, Su took the map and then marked out all of Fa'ao: "They don't need to invade our hinterland, they only need to occupy the city of Fa'ao. The Americans will definitely be happy to see Iran invade here, so naturally they won't
He knows how to take action, hoping that we will fight with Iran and both sides will lose, and finally deal with us."
