This result was unexpected by Canglong. Half a year was enough for the government forces to defeat the coalition forces. The influx of refugees into Basra was indeed a problem. Susu's intelligence agency was probably under the greatest pressure. An open policy to accommodate refugees requires the collection of intelligence in a mixed environment. I am afraid that even an intelligence giant like the CIA may not be able to guarantee that nothing will be missed.
Since there are omissions, there will definitely be leaks. Vivian managed it well and moved a large number of refugees to the occupied Khuzestan Province. But even so, Basra still has a population of more than eight million, which increased instantly. Six million people, no matter how developed Basra is, it is still unbearable.
Not only has it become difficult to collect intelligence, but even the security situation has dropped to the lowest point since the Prophet's Army took control of Basra.
"Now the main conflict is between Shiites and Sunnis. It used to be that we could get both parties to restrain themselves just because of the cultural education of the Prophet. But now the refugees entering do not have that awareness. It will take at least several years to assimilate them." Time." Su Su looked very unhappy.
"I understand." Canglong nodded solemnly. In the Middle East, religious issues are the main issue dominating this region.[
Compared with dictatorships, the conflicts caused by religious issues have almost reached the highest point of religious conflicts in the world in this region. And religious beliefs are something that touches the deepest emotions in people's hearts. If you want to change them in a short time, It is almost impossible. The reason why Basra has such an environment is because the initial preparations of the Prophet Army were very good.
The more than two million people in Basra slowly began to adapt to their faith in the prophet, but this was not the case for outsiders.
"Don't you have any solution?" Vivian asked.
"Of course there is a way." Canglong said with a smile, "But I can't come forward."
"Why?" Su Su asked curiously.
When Canglong comes back, the chaotic situation will be solved, because Canglong is a prophet. Even if the foreign refugees do not believe in him as a prophet, the original millions of people in Basra, and even the entire prophet army, believe in him.
"Not only can I not come forward, but the news of my return must be blocked from now on. At the same time, I cannot tell Li Ruomo that I am the real Canglong." Canglong said calmly.
"What the hell are you trying to do?" Vivian asked strangely, "Now that the enemy is facing us, you don't want to back down, do you?"
"Retreat?" Canglong shook his head, "No, not only will we not retreat, we will also move forward. According to our original plan, now is the time to break away from the central government."
"Detachment from the central government!" Both of them were shocked. This was the original purpose of their coming here, but they did not expect that it would take several years before they actually started to implement it. They were both anxious and uneasy because this would mean breaking up with the central government. Moving towards real confrontation will also lead to confrontation with the Americans.
"Yes, call me the special envoys of Russia, Iran, and Kuwait." Cang Long said calmly, with an undoubted majesty in his tone.
Su Su nodded: "I will arrange it immediately."
About two hours later, the envoys from the three countries all arrived. The Russian envoy was naturally Nikolayev, but as the commander of the Russian fleet in Basra, Alexander was also present. At the same time, there were also the Iranian envoy Ali Daei and the Kuwaiti envoy. .
After several people arrived, they were obviously a little surprised because they didn't know they would see each other here. Except for the Russians, Alidai still exchanged a few words with the Kuwaiti envoy.
When Canglong slowly walked into the conference room, they all showed surprise because this hard-line prophet was back.
The person who was happiest to see him was Ali Daei, followed by Nikolaev. As for the Kuwaiti envoy, he obviously didn't like Canglong, but he still had a smile on his face.
After sitting down, Canglong went directly to the topic: "I invite you all to come here today mainly to inform you, or to inform the countries behind you, that Basra under the leadership of the Prophet Army will soon break away from the central government. Starting today, a new government will be established here.
As an independent and complete country under the rule of law, of course we will not break away from Iraq. Our mission is to eliminate all foreign enemies in Iraq, eliminate the central puppet regime, and establish a peaceful, unified, and free Iraqi Republic."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone's face showed surprise. Although they knew very well that the central government could not control Basra at all, and the entire system was already at a high degree of freedom, it was nothing more than a small country. But when they heard Canglong said that he wanted independence, they still
They were still surprised that the central government was to be wiped out.
"Prophet, have you given enough thought?" At this time, the Kuwaiti envoy suddenly asked, "You must know that the Americans will definitely not let you become independent so easily and overthrow the government they support." [
"Since I told you, I have done a detailed assessment, and I'm just telling you that I don't need your opinion." Canglong's tone was calm, but everyone could hear the toughness in it.
The Kuwaiti envoy stopped talking. At this time, he was a little restless: "I will definitely convey the prophet's meaning to the king."
"Then by the way, bring me a message for him. If you become friends with me, you will be friends forever. If you become enemies with me, you will be enemies forever." Canglong said coldly.
The Kuwaiti envoy's expression changed. What he meant by these words was to warn the king that if you dare to force me to retreat, the Prophet's Army will launch a crazy revenge.
After he left, only Alidai and Nikolay were left, and Canglong's tone towards them softened: "Now it's time to discuss matters about future military cooperation."
"How to cooperate?" Alidai knew there was something going on. He stayed in Basra just to discuss with the Prophet's Army the return of Khuzestan Province at any time. There was no way that the geographical location there was too special.
"Sign a military alliance." Canglong looked at Alidai, "Now there are only two choices before Iran. Either you sign a military alliance with the Basra Prophet's Army. I will immediately withdraw troops from Khuzestan Province after unifying Iraq, and
We guarantee that as long as the Iranian army does not invade Iraq, the Iraqi army will never invade Iran. At the same time, any country that dares to invade Iran will be regarded as the mortal enemy of the Prophet's Army."
Alidai's face became heavy, and Nikolaev and Alexander did not expect that this was Canglong's ultimate goal. However, based on the current situation, if Iran is willing to sign a military alliance with Basra, then the Russian navy can easily defeat it in the Persian Gulf.
The U.S. Navy.
After all, Iran is a regional power, and almost the entire Persian Gulf is on Iran's coastline. After the three countries sign a military alliance, the combined fleet can be anchored at various military ports in Iran to deal with the American threat from the sea. Once the threat from the sea is resolved
, the reunification of Iraq is definitely not difficult.
But although the conditions put forward by Canglong are very tempting, if Iran can approach Russia, it will be more conducive to future development. The most important thing is that it can also solve Iraq, a neighboring enemy, and become a permanent friend. For the entire Iran
It is a good thing for everyone, but the key is whether Iran's top leaders can agree? After all, the two countries have gone from the Iran-Iraq war, to the Franco-Austrian defense war, to the naval battle in the Persian Gulf, to the air strikes on Khomeini Port, and to the Prophet's Army's counterattack against Iran
, after fighting for so long, I feel emotionally sorry for myself. It was too sudden to sign a military alliance with them all at once.
Seeing Alidai's hesitation, Canglong smiled and said: "The second option is to continue to be the enemy of the Prophet Army. If you choose the second option, then I can only tell you that I don't need enemies around me, so the Prophet Army
I will first deal with the enemies around me before facing the real enemy."
This time Alidai's face not only became heavy, but also became ugly. Canglong's meaning is very simple. If you don't ally with me, I will kill you first, at least until the Iranian power poses a threat to the Prophet Army.
, and what you gain in the end may be a terrible Iraq unified by the Prophet Army.
Alidai, who knows Canglong, knows very well that this guy doesn't like empty words, so he usually does what he says. With the current situation in Iran, it is basically unable to compete with the Prophet Army. You must know that after such a long period of running-in, the Prophet Army
Both in terms of quantity and quality, they far exceed the Revolutionary Guards.
If the Iraqis under the leadership of Saddam were a group of ducks, then the Iraqis under the leadership of Canglong are a group of wolves, and they are also a group of hungry wolves, always eyeing Iran's fat and strong sheep.
"I will try my best to convince the leader and the president." Alidai said only one sentence and then left.
When only Nikolay and Alexander were left, Soryu smiled: "Should you two also report this matter to your Excellency the President?"
Nikolay nodded, but Alexander said: "Aren't you afraid of causing a world war? If the US military turns back and sends all its troops to reinforce Iraq, more countries will participate in the war. By then, World War III will occur.
It might break out in Iraq."
Canglong shook his head: "If the Americans dared to fight the Third World War, they would have fought it as early as the Cold War. However, the United States and the Soviet Union fought for hegemony for so long in the Cold War, and the last shot was not fired. This means that no one is willing to fight this war.
Precedent, do you know what is the biggest flaw of NATO countries?”
"Where?" they asked.
"Their government loves war, but their people love peace. When the whole world is against war, how can the Third World War start?" Soryu smiled, "What's more, the economies of NATO countries are weak.
In 2016, even the core countries of NATO such as Britain, France and Germany were unwilling to easily follow the United States to use force against any country. Do you think they would be willing to follow the United States in the Third World War? I believe that your Excellency, the President, understands the current world situation better than I do.
