When Canglong returned to Basra, it was already half a month later. Compared with the last time he left, there was no crisis in Basra this time. It is said that the new president of Iran is holding an inauguration ceremony. The whole of Iran is celebrating this moment, and Iran War sentiments are rising in the country,
The reason for the conservatives in Iran is very simple. Basra is stationing troops on the border to threaten Iran's oil industry in the south. Iran's geographical location is very unique. It is almost the same as Iraq. Most of the oil reserves are in the south. Although there is also oil in the north, But relatively speaking, it is much less,
Iran's Khuzestan Province, which borders Basra, is the province with the most oil among the provinces in southern Iran. There are thousands of small oil wells and two grade-level oil wells. Khuzestan Province also has more than 700 billion oil wells. cubic feet of natural gas, it can be said that Khuzestan Province, adjacent to Basra, is an important energy province in Iran.
The new president originally wanted to use the excuse of fighting for independence for the Kurds to occupy Fao's oil fields, and then further strengthened his control over Basra. However, he did not expect that 50,000 troops would not return without saying a word, and the border was blocked by the Prophet's Army, leaving them Another 50,000 border guard troops retreated hundreds of kilometers,
It really feels like losing your wife and losing your troops. After the new conservative president came to power, there was no need to use the excuse of fighting for the independence of the Kurds as a cover. This time their reason was very simple. Basra threatened their oil industry. If they wanted to end the war , we must conscientiously withdraw the troops from the border, and ensure that Basra’s artillery group cannot threaten the Iranian border, [
This reasonable request was immediately rejected by the Commander-in-Chief of the Prophet Army, Badr. You have come to my territory. Now we are just defending our own borders. Can you control it? The American intercontinental missiles can still hit the whole world. Well, why don’t you ask the Americans to withdraw the missiles?
After Badr refused, the situation at the border became increasingly tense, but now the only threats to Basra are the Iranian navy and Iran's missile forces. Relatively speaking, Basra's missile forces only provide air defense and do not have the ability to attack six places. , although it can also be replaced with other missiles, it cannot carry out precise strikes.
Both sides have their own advantages, but the people of Basra are more united. They are extremely indignant towards Iran's demands and are willing to spend everything they have to fight Iran.
During the period when the new Iranian president took office, the two armies were quite restrained. At least the Iranian navy was not shelling Basra, nor was it arresting fishermen. Of course, the latter was because the fishermen in Basra had never gone to sea at all.
But everyone knows that war will come sooner or later, it is just a matter of time.
Basra's financial situation is still very tight. Although almost all the weapons purchased in that war were loans, the Iranians blocked the coastline and their oil could not get out at all. The public's demand for a war with Iran was so high. , the "Government" of Basra Province has a headache,
For Vivian, this war can be completely avoided. It is a pity that Canglong hanged Hashem for a short time, but it caused Basra's future suffering.
These days, she has thought of many ways, hoping to solve the problems of oil export and port trade. Basra's airport is not very developed, and there are not many cargo planes. It is very difficult to transport oil out through air channels, and it is blocked. The port closure for more than a month has shrunk the entire Basra economy, and foreign investors are eager to withdraw from Basra.
If it weren't for the temptation of oil, I'm afraid they would have left long ago and wouldn't have waited until now to make a move.
In the end, she came to the conclusion that if there was a war with Iran, Basra would be in dire straits. If others would not fight you, but would block your ports and prevent you from conducting trade, you would be completely destroyed, let alone a war. The economic losses it will cause, as well as the changes in people's hearts,
Vivian wanted to persuade Cang Long, but since she hanged Hashem, she tried to find him dozens of times, but was finally blocked by Su Su.
As time passed, Vivian guessed that Canglong might have left Basra, but what was he going to do now when he left Basra? At that time, Vivian had the same idea as Su Su, and he ran away, but when he thought about it later, he realized No, Canglong doesn’t need to escape after all.
Finally, half a month later, she met the man she hated and loved again. He created miracles in Basra, but he also led Basra into a desperate situation.
Canglong did not hold a military meeting when he came back, because he heard from Susu that although the people of Basra are now afraid of Iran, the officials in Basra are all panic-stricken, as if they have the plague. This emotion makes many senior officials uneasy, and they follow Of course Canglong was well prepared for this risky undertaking.
Of course, some people were really forced to do it, but they did what they did. They got on the pirate ship Canglong, and they had no chance to get off. What's more, Basra was very poor at that time. In one word, it was poor. I only have one miserable life left,
But when Canglong created various miracles, they also received generous rewards. They saw the future and their glory and wealth.
But every time there is a war, they feel anxious and uneasy, just like a rich man who owns a mountain of gold, so he is very kind-hearted, and uses this mountain of gold to benefit many beggars, and leads the beggars to earn their own living and live a well-off life. While they were grateful, they were also worried about losing the glory and wealth that this golden mountain brought to them. Over time, they came to believe that this golden mountain should not only belong to the rich man, but should be shared by all beggars.
The beggars think so in their hearts, but they dare not do anything to the rich, because the rich still have thousands of supporters, so they can only be afraid and plot something.
So in Chapter 786 of Cang Long’s Return, the senior executive of Basra must appease these beggars, even though he knew that these beggars might have different intentions. If he put them all in prison, no one would work for him, and he would lock them up. It’s not the final solution,[
There is no end to human greed, and he cannot expect everyone to be free from corruption. Therefore, in the administrative process of Basra, he would let Vivian turn a blind eye to a small amount of corruption, unless The number is extremely large, and the Prophet's Army has controlled Basra until now,
Although there was corruption, there was no serious sexual incident. Canglong's intention was that as long as they did not endanger the entire Basra or harm the people here, it would be enough.
But now he realizes that these officials are not of the same mind as him. They do not believe in themselves like the Prophet Army. Once a crisis occurs, they may even beat him.
And what he has to do is very simple, to eliminate the fear in their hearts, instead of arresting and killing them all. This will only create a kind of white terror, and political high pressure will only make people more fearful.
The fact was as he expected. After all the officials arrived, they all thought that Canglong would kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. They had seen Canglong's methods from Canglong's determination to hang Hashem, so they were very afraid of Canglong in their hearts, and they themselves also knew that these days, they
Who have you come into contact with and what have you done?
After not seeing each other for more than ten days, Canglong's murderous aura became even stronger. Even Assad, who was related to Canglong, was panicking. But what they thought was that Canglong not only arrested anyone, but also exposed their old background.
He smiled and said, give them a salary increase,
Yes, it was a salary increase. Even Su, who was standing aside, couldn't believe that Canglong would actually increase the salaries of all officials in Basra.
Vivian was also surprised, thinking that Canglong had a fever, but looking at Canglong's expression, she knew that Canglong was very conscious at this time.
Canglong not only said in a calm tone that he would give them a salary increase, but also said that in the past year, it has been difficult for everyone. The general meaning is that now that Basra has achieved results, those of you who have worked hard for me should also get something.
In return, in fact, the salary of officials in Basra is actually lower than that of soldiers. Although they have corresponding subsidies, compared to what they have done, they do get the remuneration they deserve.
Those who can be officials are basically smart people. Unlike most people, they are diligent and believe in this so-called prophet. What they pursue is interests. Just like the old Chinese saying, to become an official thousands of miles away,
Just for money,
If he wants these people to work hard for him and be loyal to him at the same time, he has to use benefits to influence them. In fact, the effect of his doing this is very good, because the atmosphere in the conference room is no longer as tense as before.
,
Although each of them said that this is a special period and they do not ask for a salary increase, they are actually very happy in their hearts.
"I have decided that all official salaries will be paid in accordance with the national standards. It will be implemented from now on. If the fiscal revenue is not enough, I will pay the salary instead." Canglong said with a smile,
As soon as these words came out, the entire conference room was in an uproar, and Vivian stared at Canglong. It seemed to be saying, you are as poor as a beggar, and you are still paying, and in the end the money will not come from the finance.
Expenditures are included in income, are you crazy?
But Canglong didn't pay attention to him. At this time, the officials were a little embarrassed, and Governor Chilam even looked guilty. However, some people were asking for no salary increase, and they accepted it calmly.
But before they were happy, Canglong said again: "Since the salary is so high, you have to do things for the people and serve Basra. I'm afraid I don't ask you to dedicate yourself to it, but at least I hope you won't put the people in trouble for some small profits."
, so from now on, if an official embezzles one month’s salary from him, hum.”
Having said this, Canglong paused and glanced at everyone present. One person dared to look at Canglong because they felt chills stand on end. Sure enough, Canglong issued the most shocking standards for sanctioning corruption.
"If you embezzle one month's salary, you will be shot directly." Canglong said coldly, "The Intelligence Agency will be responsible for the supervision of all officials."
Everyone looked bad. Cang Long's words were actually a warning to them. If you continue to suffer from such a high salary since I gave you such a high salary, then don't blame me for being rude, but I will let things be bygones.
,
After the meeting, all the officials' clothes were wet with cold sweat. This kind of law is probably the most stringent in the world today.
But fortunately, their wages have increased, and they are in accordance with national standards, which has made their lives more comfortable.
With such high wages and such strict laws, whoever engages in corruption is seeking death, and people from the Intelligence Agency are almost everywhere, [
In this way, Canglong finally solved the panic among the officials, because everyone would think of a question, since the prophet has so much money to give them high wages, that is to say, he also has money to support the next war.
