Chapter 154 Choice and Risk

The whole world is paying attention to Basra, thinking that after the Prophet's Army has solved Kuwait's border threat and signed a non-aggression friendship agreement with Kuwait, it will fight Iran with all its strength and completely solve the Iranian threat. In addition, this military parade demonstrated the

Iran's weapons and equipment are also much more advanced, which only reinforces this feeling.

Therefore, no matter which aspect you look at, the Prophet's Army will continue to fight, either against Iran or by expanding to the north and penetrating into the heart of Iraq to expand the strategic depth of Basra.

Surprisingly, after the military parade, the Prophet's Army had nothing to do. Although it maintained its occupation of Iran's Khuzestan Province, it did not take any more actions. According to Iranian media reports, Iranian intelligence personnel were stationed at the Dizful Air Force.

The base found that the Prophet Army had evacuated a large number of fighter aircraft from Dezfuler Air Force Base, but still maintained a considerable number of fighter aircraft, including two Tu-22m bombers.

This move makes people wonder what the Prophet Army wants to do, but even so, the Prophet Army, which occupies an absolute geographical advantage, is still a sword hanging over Iran's head. No one knows when it will fall.

The Iranian navy is firmly under control of both ports in Khuzestan Province.

The large ships of the Iranian Navy have also withdrawn from Khuzestan. This is because they are deeply afraid that the Prophet's Army will launch another attack. Iran, which has experienced a failed war, is now in an unstable political situation.[

Coupled with the threat from the Prophet Army, it is difficult to protect oneself. After the war, the contradiction between the regular army and the Revolutionary Guards became deeper and deeper. If it were not supported by a sufficient number of Basijs, it would be difficult for the Revolutionary Guards to control the situation.

The most surprising thing is that the Prophet's Army not only took in 50,000 Iranian regular army prisoners, but also took in more than 200,000 Iranian regular troops who followed them to Tehran and retreated during the second war.

As for these 200,000 people, the Prophet's Army did not have much fortification. One hundred thousand were transferred to garrison in Basra Province, and one hundred thousand were garrisoned in Khuzestan Province.

In other words, the total size of the Prophet's Army has now reached 300,000, which is a terrifying number. At least in terms of the number of regular troops, Iran no longer has any advantage, but for a small place like Basra,

The army is already overstretched.

It is worth mentioning that during the negotiations with Iran, Iran demanded the release of all prisoners, that is, the 200,000 regular troops recruited by the Prophet's Army, but the Prophet flatly refused, causing further negotiations to reach a deadlock.

This is simply great news for the incorporated army. In the past, they were always oppressed by the Revolutionary Guards, and they were blamed for everything. When they were incorporated into the Prophet Army, as soon as they heard that the Prophet Army would not fight, they wanted to

Negotiations with Iran frightened them.

If we really use them as pawns in exchange and finally reach an agreement, their fate will definitely be miserable when they return to the country. But now the prophet has given them an explanation and flatly refused, which is equivalent to telling them that since you follow me, then I will

Cover you.

This feeling is like the prophet is a black boss who has recruited the younger members of the other club, and then said that if you follow me, you will have wine and meat, and I will protect you.

Although it seems a bit childish, it is very effective, especially when these 200,000 regular Iranian soldiers were organized into the Prophet Army and enjoyed the same treatment, their worship of the Prophet became deeper and deeper. After all, they are 200,000

What if there is a rebellion?

They even prepared themselves to be defended by the direct lineage of the Prophet Army, but when they arrived, they discovered that although the original troops were dispersed, most of them were dispersed based on their own skills and strengthened to the original organization of the Prophet Army.

, if you are an officer, you will still hold your original position.

For the Prophet Army, the recruitment of 200,000 people may be an act of snake swallowing the elephant, but these 200,000 were really swallowed up by the Prophet Army.

Although they will have to pay expensive military expenses in the future, this will not affect the combat effectiveness of the Prophet Army at all, but will instead enhance it.

Why? It’s very simple. The reason why these regular Iranian troops lack combat effectiveness is because they have a negative fighting spirit. This is just like working under the same boss. This boss is not very wise and leaves good positions to his relatives.

The boss's relative made a mistake, and in the end other employees had to take the blame. If it were anyone else, he would have no passion to work and would have to resign sooner or later. Identity of the legitimate son - Xu Yishi Shengshi Jiangshan txt download.

But now they have a new boss. This boss treats them very well and does not seek nepotism. Instead, he gives them corresponding positions based on their abilities and tells them that no matter where you come from, you all have the same treatment as the original employees.

Have the same opportunities as them.

Comparing the two, you will know which boss is better and the employees are more enthusiastic.

Almost all the recruited troops are highly skilled. Compared with them, most of the members of the Prophet Army have graduated from primary school in terms of military literacy.

And these recruited troops are college graduates. What will happen when a large group of college graduates and primary school graduates mix together?

Of course, there may be contradictions in complementarity, but if there are no contradictions in the army, it would not be called an army. The original troops of the Prophet Army were inferior in cultural quality, but their advantage is that they are determined and passionate.

People can do everything faster than the average person.

The advantages of the recruited troops are cultural literacy and military skills, so what they can bring to the original Prophet Army is the improvement of these things.[

The Prophet Army can bring them enthusiasm and firm will. After complementing each other, the cultural quality of the army will be improved, and the combat effectiveness will naturally be improved.

Therefore, the Iranians are the ones who suffer the most, and these recruited troops have no way out. If they go back, they will be regarded as traitors, and what awaits them is trial or a purge.

In fact, for a long time to come, Iran will regret it very much, because this adapted army did not exert its combat effectiveness in the Iranian army, but it played an absolute role in Basra's battle against the central "government".

role, they used practical actions to prove that they are not weak, and are known as the sharp sword of Basra.

Of course, these are all things for later, and now Canglong is implementing a recuperation policy towards Basra. The central government will not be able to annihilate the Baath Party for a while, and Kuwait will not dare to invade again, and even often shows kindness. It will only be a matter of time before Iran finally surrenders.

Therefore, Canglong decided to vigorously develop the economy. The development strategy for the next year will not engage in possible war against any region or any country.

To put it simply, I will not offend others unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will offend them.

Vivian is very supportive of this policy. Now, both the army and the surrounding situation require a long period of adjustment. She even feels that one year is too short.

One month after the war ended, Basra and Kuwait signed a free trade agreement. The grain produced by Oriental International in Basra will be exported to Kuwait, and most of Kuwait’s commodities will be exported to Basra. At the same time, one country and one province also signed a free trade agreement.

Rail transport agreement.

In the next three years, Basra will build a railway directly to Kuwait, and Kuwait will also build a railway to the border to connect the railway in Basra and run through the entire Kuwait and Basra to provide basic guarantee for long-term trade.

At the same time, Vivian also ordered the construction of a thousand kilometers of roads in Basra, establishing the entire road transportation network in Basra and connecting various cities.

The central government has expressed strong dissatisfaction with the series of agreements signed by Basra with neighboring countries. First, Basra signed a non-aggression agreement with Kuwait without notifying the central government. Secondly, the war with Iran.

Without permission from the central government.

The central "government" asked the Prophet's Army to continue the war with Iran, but the Prophet's Army ignored them. Of course they were very angry.

But in fact, what is most annoying is that Basra occupies the only two ports in Iraq, making it impossible for the central government's oil in the north to be transported out. If the United States had not negotiated an oil export agreement with its ally Turkey, I am afraid that the central government's economy would have been in trouble.

Have to collapse.

At this point, Basra was very accommodating and sent people to the central government to say that you can use the port here legally and it is tax-free.

But the central "government" refused to agree. The first reason was that they were afraid that Basra would withhold their oil and they would suffer a big loss. The second reason was also because it could boost Basra's economy. The central "government" obviously knew of Basra's hostility, and becoming an enemy was just a matter of course.

Sooner or later, relying too much on the port of Basra will mean cutting off one's own transportation lifeline in the future.

As for Basra, if you don't agree, then don't agree. I won't have to cry and beg you to use my port, but it will save a lot of trouble.

In the second month after the war, Wan Zeliang couldn't wait to see Canglong because he found that the sanctions imposed by the top management on Canglong had no big effect at all. It was by relying on his own efforts that he not only prevented the entire system of Basra from collapsing, but also built

is becoming more and more prosperous.

Even Wan Zeliang has to admire Basra's current achievements. Free trade with Kuwait has allowed Basra to begin to rise in the Middle East.

It won't be long before all the infrastructure is built and roads are laid on a large scale, Basra will become the fastest growing city in the history of Basra and the Middle East.

Of course, Wan Zeliang came to see Canglong this time not only because he saw all this, but also because the top domestic officials saw this. Several members of the Politburo were very dissatisfied with some of the actions of the General Intelligence Bureau.

He was required to immediately strengthen economic and trade cooperation with Basra, especially in energy, so what Wan Zeliang brought this time was a big contract.

"According to the instructions of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau, China is willing to carry out normal cooperation with Pakistan, including investing in the establishment of complete infrastructure for Pakistan, such as roads, railways, and airports," Wan Zeliang said with a smile.

Canglong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You can talk to the prophet about this. I'm just a businessman and there's no point talking to me."[

Wan Zeliang's face is not good. Cang Long is obviously resigning. Basra is so big. They can handle the construction of railways and highways themselves. China is willing to invest. Although this is a good thing, there must be some interests hidden behind it.

In exchange, Canglong would not be so stupid as to exchange these.

What's more, Canglong is not the kind of person who imports and buys everything from abroad. He hopes that Basra can develop its own set of technical personnel, even in the construction of roads and railways, which may be difficult at the beginning.

But at least I won’t have to ask for help in the future.

It feels really bad to beg for help. Cang Long has realized this. If he hadn't been tough enough and decisive enough, I'm afraid he would have been constrained by the two big countries by now.

"Have we made it clear?" Wan Zeliang said seriously, "I came with enough sincerity this time."

"Oh." Canglong looked at him, not perfunctory, and said with a smile, "What kind of sincerity?"

"Comprehensive cooperation." Wan Zeliang said.

"Comprehensive cooperation?" Canglong was a little surprised, but thinking about Basra now, he understood a little. Russia signed a military alliance with Basra, and the weapons and equipment provided, arms orders, etc., have already made Beijing feel like it was at a loss. It's so ridiculous.

Many orders were given to the Russians in vain, and they could only watch from the sidelines.

Logically speaking, they should have a share in this, but various circumstances caused them to lose these orders and the opportunity to cooperate.

The only connection between Beijing and Basra now may be that Longteng International is drilling for oil here.

"The Russians can give Basra a lot of things that you can't give. Now do you think you can give it too?" Canglong said with a smile.

Wan Zeliang frowned. He couldn't answer this, and he had no right to answer: "Go back to Beijing. The head of the central government will give you a satisfactory answer."

But this time, Canglong was silent. Wan Zeliang said this, which proved that the higher-ups were really determined to take action. Of course, this real decision was not about what to do to him, but about competing with the Russians for the value of Basra.

At least they don't want the Russian family to monopolize all the benefits here.

But when he goes back this time, if the central government shows great sincerity, then he is destined to not be able to reject the central government in some aspects, so he will face big choices and even risks...
