It is not that Iran does not have weapons to attack Basra, because Iran’s missile force is considered the strongest in the Middle East, with missiles with a range of more than 2,000 kilometers. However, Basra’s air defense system is not vegetarian. The emphasis is on quantity. One missile If I can't intercept you, then I'll use two. If two won't work, three will do. If three won't work, ten will do.
Moreover, Iran's missile force is in the hands of the Revolutionary Guards, not the conventional forces. Iran's navy is also in the hands of the Revolutionary Guards, not the president. Unless the conservatives order a full-scale war with Basra, the president can only use The few conventional troops I have on hand,
So a few days later, the Iranian president died down. At the same time, the person sent to negotiate also arrived, and it was Alidai. Canglong fulfilled his promise, making the radical president regret it. Faao was defeated miserably, and 50,000 troops were killed. Before returning, the supreme commander became a prisoner of the other party, which aroused a huge sentiment against the president in Iran.
With conservatives behind the scenes, the president is not far away from stepping down, and he may also face scrutiny from conservatives.
Arriving in Basra again, Ali Daei was very happy. At least the Prophet's Army helped the conservatives cripple the conventional troops that the president could use. The top leader of the conservatives was very happy. The only drawback was that the Prophet's Army was now stationed at the border and watching eagerly. There is a strong intention to invade Iran,[
After comprehensive consideration, the conservatives believe that negotiation is relatively appropriate, but there are still some conditions required for a ceasefire.
"I didn't expect that in just one year, the Prophet Army would grow to this scale. It really opened our eyes." Alidai said very politely.
"If you want to broaden your horizons, you can send troops over here and we will fight." Canglong's answer was simple,
Alidai smiled awkwardly and said: "We are friends and should not become mortal enemies. If we fight for several years like the Iran-Iraq war, it will be detrimental to both of us. The only ones who can take advantage are the Americans."
"Then you are here for peace talks." Canglong asked,
"Of course, but the necessary conditions for the peace talks are to return Major General Hashem to Iran and also stop the shelling of Iran's borders." Alidai said kindly, "Of course, we will also stop blocking the Iraqi coastline and release the captured prisoners. Fishermen, the Persian Gulf is open to Basra oil tankers, and you will be compensated accordingly."
Alidai's meaning is very simple. We will deal with Major General Hashem. You have to give us face. Although he is the commander of conventional forces, Iran wants face. If you kill him, you will not give Iran face. We It's hard to be a human being, but if you insist on killing him, then we will have no choice but to blockade the Persian Gulf and the coastline of Basra.
Canglong just smiled. Alidai was indeed polite. If he was rude, he could have threatened him with Iran's missile force, but Alidai did not do that. He spoke very well. He not only made his request, but also reminded Canglong, and did not threaten him excessively.
Maybe Alidai had good intentions, but he also understood that if the war continued, it would be detrimental to both sides. However, he did not know what Canglong was thinking, so he would be surprised next.
After being silent for half a minute, Canglong said: "You started the war, but whether it ends or not, I have the final say. I will not give you people. You have to answer to Iran, and I have to answer to the two million people of Basra." Tell me, I think the lives of thousands of innocent people are more important than your compensation."
"Are you really ready to fight?" Alidai said with a bad look on his face.
"Even if I don't fight until you conservatives take care of the president, will you let Basra go easily?" Canglong stared at Alidai, and saw that he suddenly panicked, but he didn't know how to answer. , Canglong continued, "You can't answer, I will answer for you, your Iran does not need a powerful Basra as a neighbor, but needs a force as ignorant as the Baath Party as a neighbor, so when you conservatives solve the president, It's my turn next, right?"
Alidai did not speak. He knew very well that answering or not answering was the same. Canglong was right. In politics, negotiations are always temporary.
Forced by Canglong, there was nothing he could do. Alidai smiled bitterly and said: "Why are you so persistent in fighting us for Basra? We are still friends, right?"
"Yes, it is precisely because we are friends that I tell you the truth." Canglong looked serious, "If I didn't treat you as a friend, you wouldn't be able to enter Basra at all."
Alidai was silent, and after a while he said: "Since you understand all this, why do you still want to help us defeat the president's army? Wouldn't it be better to negotiate directly with the president?"
"I don't want to cede territory, let alone leave the executioners who slaughtered the people of Basra alone." Canglong said calmly,
"Just for this." Alidai was really surprised. Canglong didn't behave like a politician, because in the eyes of politicians, sacrifice is a very common thing. Just take care of the overall situation.
"The people of Basra believe in me, and in order to live up to their trust, I must do this," Canglong said,[
Alidai was silent again, this time for a long time. He spoke after a few minutes: "What do you use to fight against the powerful Iran? We have plenty of oil, which is enough to support us in fighting any war. We have a range of more than 2,000 kilometers." Guide, the entire Basra is within coverage, we have the most powerful navy in the region, but you only have a few broken ships, what can you do to fight us."
Faced with Ali Daei's unkind question, Canglong smiled and said: "You have a lot that we don't have, but we also have a lot that you don't have. Israel was poor at the time and was not standing tall in the Middle East. You were not able to do the same." , sometimes people’s hearts are more important than strength.”
Alidai stopped talking. He then had persuasion and strong threats. He just smiled reluctantly. He knew that he could not change Canglong's decision. Everyone was their own master. He couldn't say much, so he could only choose to leave. , but he did not really give up,
After leaving, he went to the Russian Consulate and the Chinese Consulate in Basra, and also began to be active among the top brass in Basra. Alidai believed that Canglong was so confident in starting a war with them only because Russia and China were behind it, and these two country, which is a traditional cooperative partner with Iran,
When choosing between Basra and Iran, you will definitely choose the latter. After all, Iran has more oil than Basra, and China is also very dependent on Iranian oil, almost 20% of which is imported from Iran. Which one is more important, they should know.
Sure enough, after a while, Nikolaev and Wan Zeliang came to Canglong at the same time and asked Canglong to hand over Hashem to Iran and stop the war with Iran. Otherwise, they would go back and tell their superiors that they would no longer support this war, and Canglong's The answer is simple, I will think about it,
Nikolaev and Wan Zeliang left with confidence. If they did not support Basra, although Basra would not collapse, it would definitely have the strength to face Iran.
What Canglong didn't expect was that the second group of people who persuaded him were actually senior officials from Basra. Each of them spoke great truths, as if they were all thinking about Basra. Surprisingly, Vivian, the Minister of Administration, Qi
Both Ram and Assad, two high-ranking officials, are dead.
Canglong's reply was still the same, he would think about it,
In the next few days, Canglong ordered to stop the shelling of the Iranian border, but the army did not retreat, so many people thought that Canglong had compromised, but only two people believed that Canglong had not compromised, one was Su and the other was Weiwei.
An, Su thinks that Canglong should consider it, but in fact, he just doesn’t think about it.
And Vivian understands Cang Long very well. Once she makes a decision, she will not change it because of anyone's threats, so Vivian is very sensible and goes to persuade Cang Long.
A week later, when everyone thought the war was over, when everyone thought the Prophet would hand over Hashem to the Iranian government, Soryu arrived at the provincial government and notified Vivian and asked her to issue an order to all the people of Basra.
Taking a day off and gathering at the provincial government, he will personally deliver a eulogy for the people who died in Basra Port.
This order is not surprising. Everyone thought that Canglong would hold a memorial service to win over people after the war. After all, the Prophet Army had won a great victory. Such an opportunity was rare.
But when that day came, they no longer thought so. There was a huge crowd in front of the provincial government, and the militiamen were maintaining order. Canglong first read a eulogy, and then prayed for the dead, generally hoping that they could go to heaven, and Basra
The people wept bitterly, and their worship of the prophet's wisdom increased.
However, just when everyone thought it was over, a man was tied up and carried away, and then a gallows was raised in the center of the crowd.
In front of the representatives of various countries, Canglong calmly took out another document and read out: "Hasem, the commander of the Iranian xx Army, led the army to invade France and Austria, and carried out a large-scale massacre of the people in Basra Port.
He was captured by our side during the Austrian defense war. According to international law, the Basra court sentenced Hashem to crimes against humanity and was hanged immediately."
Although representatives from various countries had already guessed what Canglong wanted to do when Hashem was brought in, they were still shocked after Canglong announced it. The word "hanging" indicated the young prophet's firm decision, and it also told everyone
, this is Basra, kill for life, pay debt for money, there are exceptions for everyone,
With Cang Long's announcement, several soldiers went up, tied a rope on Hashem, and hanged Hashem under the eyes of tens of thousands of people. The people cheered because the culprit of the war was finally punished.
There are punishments,
But the officials in Basra were silent and even felt horrified. Only then did they realize how stupid they were to persuade Canglong. Canglong was sentenced to death by hanging to tell them that they cannot disobey my decision and please don't take yourself too seriously.
