In order to stay, Han Shuo promised to change his previous mistakes, not only for himself, but also for the people around him. Canglong also made a rule because of him. From now on, no matter who he is, as long as you are in the base,
Everyone must participate in some routine training at the base every day.
Han Shuo was naturally no exception, because this was one of the conditions for him to stay. Even so, Han Shuo almost shed a layer of his skin on the first day of training, but at least after the training, he looked better than before.
He has become bloody, and he no longer treats others with a condescending indifference.
Maybe this change is very small, but for the people in the base, this is already an earth-shaking change. At least before, they were unwilling to hang out with this Chinese boy, or even say a word.
Canglong also checked the network laying and security settings of the base. He hopes to cultivate more outstanding Hongke in the future and lay the foundation for the civilian network laying in Basra.
Half a month later, Canglong finished handling most of the things. Now the main direction they are dealing with is central Iraq. The Baath Party is now losing ground. In a way, this is also due to Basra. After all, in the first war, the Baath Party
The party's oil fields in Maysan Province were burned down, and then the war with Iran plunged the Baath Party's biggest support into chaos in the domestic order.[
This prompted the Baath Party to have insufficient logistical supplies and obsolete weapons.
So Canglong secretly sent some advisers from the Prophet Army to the central provinces to discuss further cooperation with Simon. With the support of Russia, Basra's light military factories have now been developed.
It is still possible to provide some weapon replacements for the Ba'ath Party. Of course, Basra's missile troops will continue to support the Ba'ath Party. As long as the US military aircraft dare to fly within the range, the Prophet Army's missile troops will mercilessly attack them.
A US military plane was shot down.
Simon is very interested in further cooperation. Although he knows very well that Basra is now treating them as door gods and blocking the Americans for them, Simon is not disgusted. The biggest reason is because Simon knows the Baath Party army and Basra.
difference.
Especially for the Baath Party's political system, even if the Americans are really defeated, no one is willing to return to the high-pressure political environment during Saddam's rule. Compared with Basra, it is a good choice.
Simon has seen the two wars between the Prophet Army and Kuwait and Iran. They are not only fighting a war, but also the economy and people's hearts of a region.
Being able to defeat Kuwait was within Simon's expectation, but being able to defeat the Iranian army and almost attack Tehran, the capital of Iran, was definitely a shocking victory. He knew very well how powerful the Revolutionary Guards were, but the Prophet Army was stubbornly defeated.
He joined the Revolutionary Guards, which impressed Simon.
Compared with the ragtag group he led, there was no potential at all. No matter what aspect he considered, Simon hoped that Basra could develop. In fact, the several wars fought in Basra these days not only inspired the people in the areas they ruled.
It also boosted the morale of their soldiers.
Simon even heard that some soldiers wanted to go to Basra, just because the treatment there was good and there were enough opportunities for promotion, unlike the strict system in the Baath Party, which relied on nepotism. Even if the soldiers made great achievements, they would not have the chance to be promoted.
So Simon took the opportunity to mention to Hussein, the leader of the Baath Party, that he wanted to go to Basra to negotiate with the Prophet in person. At that time, the Baath Party leader, a relative of former President Saddam Hussein, was not very willing, but now Iran
Being restrained by the Prophet's Army, the domestic order was in chaos, and there was too little power to support them. Now the biggest help comes from Basra.
However, Hussein was still worried that Simon might reach some kind of agreement with the Prophet, so before Simon left, he sent a crony to follow Simon. This person was Feisam, the special envoy who had clamored in Basra.
Since the defeat, Simon's status in the Baath Party has been somewhat unstable. Feisam, a clown, was reused because he was from Hussein's hometown and spoke ill of Simon around Hussein.
Staff officer of the Mahdi Army and Baathist Alliance Headquarters.
This kind of promotion is almost rare in the Prophet Army, because the Prophet Army wants people with skills. If you don't have the skills, even if your father is the commander-in-chief, you can only be a soldier.
But it is very common in the Baath Party. As long as you have a good relative who can flatter you, success and fame will not be far away.
Although Simon knew that this system was a cancer in the army, he had no choice but to do anything about it. Although he was the supreme commander of the alliance army, when it came to employing people, he appointed and dismissed them from the top of the Baath Party and the Mahdi Army.
The only obligation is to fight and win the war.
Despite this, Simon reminded Feisam before traveling that this time they went to Basra to ask for help. In a sense, they were going to ask for help this time. Even if you are mean-mouthed, don't be so self-righteous.
Otherwise, nothing can be done and the entire Baath Party will be destroyed.
But Feisam didn't care. He felt that Basra must support them. If the Baath Party was destroyed, Basra would directly face the Americans. This was something Basra did not want to see. Feisam believed that as long as the Baath Party was captured,
With this in mind, whatever they want from Basra is natural and they must compromise.
So the two embarked on a journey to Basra, and arrived at Basra Railway Station by railway. When they learned that Simon was visiting, Canglong arranged for Vivian and Badr to greet him in person. In a sense, Simon was a worthy person.
Dear man, if he had enough time, maybe he would go and greet me personally.
But during the greeting process, a lot of unpleasant things happened. For example, Fessam got off the train and saw that the only people to greet him were Badr and Vivian, so his expression suddenly changed, and he said wildly: "Where is the Prophet?"
?Why didn’t the Prophet come to greet us? We came to Basra with enough sincerity.”[
Hearing these words, everyone present had bad expressions, especially the soldiers in charge of security. Almost every one of them glared angrily, with the urge to throw this guy off the tracks and let the train run him over.
Simon also reminded carefully: "This is Basra, not our sphere of influence. You'd better be careful what you say."
But Feisam kept trying to persuade him and said directly: "We blocked the Americans for Basra, shouldn't he come to greet us in person?"
These words made the atmosphere extremely depressing. If he hadn't felt the murderous eyes of the soldiers in charge of security, Feisam might not have calmed down at the train station.
Neither the visiting coalition military negotiators nor the Basra side were very interested in this so-called staff officer.
But no one explained, and even Simon didn't bother to persuade in the end. But when they saw all the prosperity in Basra along the way, everyone was shocked, even Feisam. They had all been to Basra, but that time
They were all a few years ago, and comparing Basra now with Basra a few years ago, it can be said that one is a poverty-stricken village and the other is a prosperous metropolis.
Such a miracle was expected by Simon Fa. Looking at the people living here, looking at the faces filled with happy smiles, they could not imagine that a few years ago this place was full of potholes and scars, and people did not dare to take to the streets.
, there are traces of war everywhere.
"No wonder even our soldiers yearn for Basra, because here brings hope to people." Simon said in his heart, and he felt that his visit this time was not in vain.
But just after everyone in the delegation recognized Basra, Feisam said inappropriately: "What's so miraculous about this? If it weren't for the oil here, would Basra be able to develop?"
No one spoke, and the people in the car were very angry and indifferent until they arrived at the Basra International Hotel. After Vivian arranged accommodation for the delegation, they left.
The members of the delegation thought that their departure was just a temporary one, but they did not expect that even after they stayed at the Basra International Hotel for a week, the top management of Basra did not send any personnel to discuss cooperation with them.
Although they were a little happy these days, even Feisam himself was like this, Simon realized that the prophet might be angry because of Feisam's inappropriate words and deeds.
So Simon decided to visit the prophet himself.
At the same time, in the Intelligence Agency, Su was reporting something to Canglong: "These are the expenses for the recent activities of the alliance delegation in Basra."
"Fifty million?" Canglong looked surprised.
"Yes, they came here in just one week and spent 50 million US dollars on us. Even prodigals are not that bad." Su said with a smile, "If the money is spent and you get a good deal, then forget it, but...
These grandsons spent so much money on us, but they still looked like it was a matter of course. In their words, the money was originally exchanged for their oil, and they spent it as a matter of course."
"Simon said that?" Canglong looked strange.
"No, the number two figure in this delegation is a staff officer of the General Staff of the Alliance Army and a close associate of Hussein, the leader of the Ba'ath Party." Su said and smiled, "He also has another identity. He is a former Baath Party member who came to Basra.
Negotiating envoy.”
"Special envoy?" Canglong recalled it in his mind, but couldn't remember it at all. Such an important person would never stay in his mind for more than ten seconds.
Seeing that Canglong was puzzled, Su explained it again, and Canglong smiled: "It turns out to be this clown."
Canglong didn't mean not to negotiate with the delegation these days. On the contrary, he was dealing with the visit of little Christine, so he ordered Vivian to let the delegation spend a few days in Basra. As for what Feisam said,
It is impossible to get into Canglong's ears. It is very simple. Su will not report this kind of rubbish information to Canglong.
But what he didn't expect was that Feisam would go so far.[
"Since this guy is so natural, then we will kill him." Canglong said coldly.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right now." Su nodded and left, but soon he came back, "No need to make arrangements. General Simon and that clown are here. Should we meet now, or let them wait?"
"Let Lao Hei come over. By the way, let him bring Badr's knife. Let them wait until Lao Hei arrives." Cang Long said simply.
