If the Prophet's Army fought on two fronts and completely defeated both countries, it would be enough to shock the world, then the upcoming military parade in Basra would be enough to shock the world.
Military parades are generally an important means to show a country's national defense strength. The premise is that it is a country. But Basra is just a province. There is no order from the central government. Media from all over the world are invited to interview and visit. In history, with such status and such a military parade, I am afraid that
Also the first time.
A military parade when there is still a state of war often means that a larger-scale war will be launched. Therefore, this upcoming military parade in Basra is also sensational. Many media have speculated that after the victory, Basra will now
Who is targeted? Iran, Kuwait, or the central government in Baghdad?
However, the Basra propaganda department did not disclose relevant information. This military parade reviewed the Basra guidance force, special forces, as well as the army field division and the air force.
A month later, tens of thousands of troops, including armored troops, infantry, and missile-launched vehicles, had assembled on a road in Basra Provincial Government.[
At this time, the provincial government building was already filled with reporters from various countries. The most eye-catching ones were the Russian military advisers around Basra’s military leaders, including Alexander and Nikolay. This also revealed to the world a story.
The answer is that the relationship between Russia and Basra is no longer just between arms trading partners.
Of course, this military parade is indispensable for the other two protagonists, the Iranian special envoy and the Kuwaiti special envoy. The person in charge of the review is not Canglong, but Commander-in-Chief Badr. This is also to avoid suspicion. Canglong does not like to be exposed in the spotlight.
So Badr did his part.
Naturally, there will be no shortage of representatives from China. This is Wan Zeliang. After Badr's review, the military parade began. The whole process only took more than an hour, but it displayed most of the advanced weapons except the navy. The most interesting thing is that
What attracts the most attention is the Basra air force and missile units.
Of course, what reporters pay the most attention to is the Army Field Division. This already famous unit is also a unit that performs miracles in the eyes of the media. In almost every war, its blitz speed shocks the world.
An hour later, the military parade ended. For Vivian, she felt extremely distressed because the cost of this military parade was expensive. She firmly believed that this was the beginning of Canglong's establishment of personality cultism, but she was indeed wrong, because this
The military parade was for Iran and Kuwait.
The weapons displayed in Basra are a further deterrent to both countries. The missions of the two countries are also very clear about the meaning behind it. Needless to say, Kuwait still has 10,000 hostages in the hands of the Prophet Army, so after seeing
After the military parade, a sense of surrender naturally arose in my heart. If the Prophet Army only fought on the front line against Kuwait, then the destruction of the country overnight in the last century might happen again.
For Iran, even if they do not underestimate the enemy, even if they integrate again and want to continue the war with Basra, they still have to consider that the Prophet Army is not inferior to their Revolutionary Guards in terms of combat effectiveness and willpower, and in a certain period
Some weapons and equipment are even better than theirs. How can Iran compete with such a force?
Unless they are willing to devote all their efforts to continue fighting Basra and risk the collapse of the regime.
Alidai was the one who was deeply touched by this military parade. He knew very well why his friends invited them to visit the military parade. He also knew that after the military parade, real negotiations would usher in, because all this was done for them to see.
, in order to further shock them.
Sure enough, after the military parade, although the people of Basra were still immersed in victory and powerful hormonal stimulation, Canglong started negotiations and was the first to receive the Kuwaiti special envoy. This negotiation was hosted by Vivian. Although she was angry,
But he didn't resign because Canglong didn't approve of it at all.
You have to do it even if you don't, so Canglong started playing tricks on her.
By this time, Vivian also understood the purpose of this military parade, because the Kuwaiti envoys were all submissive now. This was not a negotiation, it was just a scene of signing a humiliating treaty.
Vivian didn't go too far. She just asked Kuwait to compensate for the losses and redeem their troops. The cost was about 10,000 U.S. dollars per person, which was a high redemption fee of 100 million U.S. dollars. There was no exchange of prisoners in the negotiations. After all,
The Prophet's army did not even invade their borders.
Kuwait, who was asking for trouble, naturally agreed. According to the order given to them by the king, as long as the Prophet's army did not attack them and did not endanger his throne, he was willing to agree to anything.
Therefore, the compensation this time is relatively high. In addition to ransoming the prisoners, Vivian requires Kuwait to compensate for the war losses of one billion U.S. dollars, and to open the border for normal trade. At the same time, the Kuwaiti Navy is prohibited from infringing on Basra waters and cannot harass anyone entering the Persian Gulf.
Basra Merchant Ship.
This condition is not too excessive. Firstly, Kuwait is rich, and secondly, it is still rich. Moreover, the conditions are to restore normal trade and diplomatic relations. How can they not agree?
On the day the Kuwaiti mission returned, the ransom and compensation arrived, and the Prophet Army readily handed over the prisoners and returned most of the weapons to them with dignity. The king who received the news was very happy and gave these
The returned weapons were also accounted for and finally paid, which no one could have imagined.
With the Kuwaiti threat completely resolved, now it's up to the Iranians.
Facing the Iranians, Soryu was not ambiguous at all. After all, this was an opponent of the same level, so he sent the highest lineup for the negotiations. The Iranian special envoy was also unambiguous. The cabinet minister and the two deputy commanders of the Revolutionary Guards came with Ali Daei.
talks.[
The main content of the talks was to withdraw troops, but Canglong said directly: "The prerequisite for the negotiations is that the previous conditions for withdrawing troops to Ahvaz must be fulfilled."
For Iran at that time, they had to accept this condition, but now the Iranians do not think so. They can accept compensation for losses, but they cannot accept it if they do not withdraw from Ahvaz.
In the words of Musa'eed: "Since it is a withdrawal of troops, all troops should be withdrawn from Iran for further negotiations. We have brought enough sincerity, and we hope that you can also show enough sincerity."
The top military officials were very angry, but they didn't say anything back because he didn't like to have wars of words with the Iranians, so he stood up and said in Arabic to Badr who was present at the meeting: "The field division is leaving Ahvaz to attack
Isfahan, the air force launched air strikes on Tehran, and guided missile forces moved into Khuzestan Province in full force, doing all they can to destroy their military facilities and urban infrastructure before negotiations continue."
Musayed's face was livid, and the faces of everyone in the special envoy also changed. The other party actually issued a military order in front of them. What does this mean? Is it stupid?
No, absolutely not. This is because we have enough confidence. The Prophet Army's anti-earth missile force did not participate in the war last time. In addition to the confrontation between the two armies in the last war, the Prophet Army rarely caused damage, so they were able to quickly restore domestic order.
But this time it's different.
The prophet in front of them is telling them that now that we have occupied Ahvaz, if we go north, we can attack your capital Tehran, and if we go south, we can directly attack Isfahan and interrupt the lifeline of transportation between the north and south of Iran. If you want to fight, I will accompany you.
Fight to the end.
Finally, Cabinet Secretary Rams gave in: "We agree to the previous conditions."
They are obviously aware of a problem. Before the war, when they heard this military plan, they might find it funny, but now they can't laugh because it has happened the first time, and they are unwilling to bear it the second time, and they can't.
bearable.
Canglong sat down, but at this moment, Alidai suddenly made a suggestion: "In view of the fact that it will take time for Iran to recover from this war, we hope that the compensation will be directly deducted from the oil extracted from Khuzestan Province.
.”
This move was something Canglong didn't expect, and even Vivian was surprised by Alidai's cunning. Although she had worked with Alidai and knew him somewhat, she didn't know much about him.
Alidai's idea is very simple. Since you don't evacuate, you are still exploiting the oil there anyway, so why not just give you the oil as compensation? After you exploit enough oil, you will eventually have to
withdraw.
But this would be a loss for the Prophet's Army. They have also experienced it in Khuzestan Province for several months. The oil there is a spoil of war. Before a withdrawal agreement is reached, the oil must be extracted as a matter of course. But now Alidai has
Oil turned into compensation, which is equivalent to using the money they have already received to pay compensation.
It would be impossible for anyone to agree to this, but Canglong thought for a while and said with a smile: "Okay, we agree."
This made Musayed and Rams happy. Now they did not have to pay for the Prophet's army's battle losses and expensive military expenses. However, Alidai felt that Canglong agreed too quickly and became wary.
Understand that this old friend is definitely not the kind of person who spits out whatever he puts into his mouth.
Sure enough, Canglong paused and continued: "But the premise is that you must give us Khuzestan Province for fifty years, and we will withdraw our troops after fifty years."
The face of the special envoy completely changed. Fifty years is half a century. How much oil can Basra produce in this half century? It will definitely exceed the compensation several times, or even dozens of times.
This is something they absolutely cannot agree to. Who knows if the Prophet Army will not leave in fifty years? Just to have a knife put on their necks for fifty years is something they cannot agree to and will never agree to.
Compromising.
If it were any other person, if someone put a knife to your neck every day when you sleep, you would probably not be able to sleep, and you would never be happy for this to happen.
Therefore, the negotiations fell into a stalemate for a time. In the end, Iran had to compromise, agreeing to compensation and a series of previous conditions, and painfully paid $5 billion in compensation to Basra, and at the same time released the Basra air force captured in Tehran.
Is the negotiation over? No, this is just the beginning. The real negotiation is still to come. In Canglong's words, this is just to meet the basic conditions for the subsequent formal negotiation...
