Although the Secretary-General of the United Nations condemned southern independence as a violation of peace, the congressional election was still carried out as scheduled, and it also focused the attention of the world.
There is no water in this election. In the words of Al Jazeera reporter, after executing 109 coup plotters, Basra has become the most corrupt region in the Middle East. The high salaries here are almost as good as those in developed countries, but the penalties are also low. More than any other country in the world, if you want to enter the Congress, you must first see the gallows erected in front of the gate of the Congress.
Western countries call the Prophet a butcher, but the people of Basra worship the Prophet like a god, not only because he created economic and military miracles, but also because his laws protect the interests of all poor people.
But no one expected that although there was no water in this election, it would set off a war of words in Congress. The leaders of the two parties had already started quarreling from the moment they entered the gate of Congress. If weapons can be carried in Congress, I am afraid it will not only There was a shouting match.
Therefore, the one-day general election lasted from morning to afternoon and into the evening. The new government failed to be formed, and the new prime minister and deputy prime minister were not elected. Finally, the interim prime minister announced that the election would continue until they were elected.[
As a result, the Congress then became a vegetable market for the two parties. The two parties swore back and forth in Congress every day, and no one gave in. The election was indeed going on, but in the end no one elected a real prime minister.
Finally, the leaders of the Shia Party and the Sunni Party came to the Basra Mosque to meet with the Prophet, hoping that the Prophet could personally appoint a prime minister when the power of the two parties was balanced, but Canglong directly reprimanded the leaders of the two parties. According to the person in charge of the mosque, the prophet said this at that time: "The prime minister is the head of state and must be elected by the people. Unless it is a special period, if the prophet interferes with the election, the country will be ruined!"
This sentence was quoted and evaluated by many media. Western media said that the prophet wanted to put aside his identity as a dictator, but he was still a dictator.
However, media in the Middle East, such as the most influential Al Jazeera, openly praised the prophet's enlightenment.
But after the leaders of the two parties left, they jointly targeted one person, the interim Prime Minister Vivian. The Prophet did not participate, which does not mean that Vivian will not participate. The former Minister of Administration was a prominent figure in Basra. Very influential.
At least now, most young people in Basra regard Vivian as their goddess, while the older ones regard this political strongman as their dream lover.
Of course, her influence is not only because of her appearance, but also because of her strength. Everyone knows that the only person who dares to scold the prophet is the former Minister of Administration and current interim Prime Minister, so she is a Someone who can tip the balance.
However, after Vivian received the two leaders, she did not take sides. In the end, the two parties decided to let Vivian directly serve as the official prime minister of the new government, eliminating the zero hour, and the leaders of the two parties served as deputy prime ministers. , are competing for other seats.
This decision came and was supported by the majority of people, so Vivian successfully became the official prime minister from the interim prime minister. The dispute over the general election was also completely ended. The two parties decided to govern at the same time. If the key issues were resolved, they I will listen to the advice of Vivian, a non-partisan person.
But they didn't know that this move became a tradition in Iraq. Later, almost all prime ministers were held by non-partisans, and only two deputy prime ministers were held by Shia and Sunni respectively. This indirectly promoted the development of the two parties. Harmony between them, but at the same time they also maintain subtle competition.
As for the administrative system, Canglong left all matters to Vivian. Her becoming the official prime minister was something Canglong didn't expect.
However, Soryu is also relieved that Vivian is the prime minister, but now he can't control the affairs of the Congress, because he will take the final step to unify Iraq.
After the combat meeting, Soryu reduced the 150,000 troops stationed in Iran to 50,000 troops and signed a military alliance with Iran. The agreement clearly regulated the behavior of both parties. Iran will fully support the southern government to unify Iraq in the future.
But the 50,000 troops left in Khuzestan Province are definitely not symbolic troops, but troops with real combat effectiveness. Even if Iran really wants to break the agreement, the 50,000 troops defending Khuzestan Province are definitely enough. , not to mention that there are militiamen who have not been incorporated into active service to assist in defense.
After a period of recuperation, Canglong implemented the policy of all citizens becoming soldiers. In peacetime, everyone is a citizen, but in wartime, everyone is a soldier.
After gathering 200,000 troops, Canglong began to station troops on the border. At this time, in the combat meeting, several parties had opposing opinions.
Basra is surrounded by Iran and Kuwait on both sides, with the sea behind it, but in front of it are three provinces of Iraq. The first is Misan Province, adjacent to Iran; the second is Deqar Province, located directly between the other two provinces. The center is also the province directly leading to the capital Baghdad; and the third is Muthanna Province, which is also the second largest province in Iraq.
Of course, this second largest province does not mean economy and military, but land. However, this province with the second largest land area in Iraq has no actual value. Even the coalition army only has a small number of people in this province. Activity.
When the government troops invaded the central part of the country, the province's originally small population fled to Basra. After all, the entire province had no oil and no production, and almost large areas were deserts.[
As the deputy chief of staff, Snow Leopard believes that the province of Muthanna, which is the province with the most land, should be captured first. This can solve Basra's current population expansion dilemma. After occupying it, some people can be moved there to reduce the urban pressure on Basra. .
But Xiami believes that they should capture the strategically important province of Dekar, which is extremely rich. Although it does not have much oil, it is the granary of Iraq. As long as they occupy this place, they can advance and attack, retreat and defend. When the time comes, they will send other troops. Province, it will be much smoother.
Only Bai Chang believed that Maysan Province should be attacked because it has the most oil. As for Aziz and Abulshi, it was even simpler. They hoped to attack in three directions and occupy these three provinces at the same time.
Everyone had their opinions, but everyone had their own opinions, but Canglong remained silent. After half a minute, he said: "No fighting yet!"
"No fight!" Everyone looked strange. No fight asked them to hold a military meeting.
"You should step up your training! All soldiers in the alliance army who have fought with the US military will be promoted to non-commissioned officers and let them teach the active troops. They must understand the US military's tactics before the war begins. Also, they must Cultivate their fighting consciousness, so that when the war continues, the Americans will wet their pants!" Canglong said, stood up: "Let's adjourn the meeting!"
Everyone was speechless and finally left. In the General Staff Office, Canglong asked: "Is there any news from Simon?"
"Our special envoy has passed, but he is still hesitating, but he made a condition!" Su said.
"What conditions!" Canglong asked.
"Unless we let Hussein and Sadr go, he will consider leading his troops to surrender!" Su said: "This is the basic condition. If you don't agree, you have to negotiate. Even if we attack, he will not compromise easily!"
"This guy was quite loyal. It's a pity that Sadr and Hussein were captured at that time. If these two guys were released, it would be a source of instability!" Canglong touched his chin and pondered: "Simon must surrender, Hou
Sain and Sadr can’t stay either!”
"I'm afraid this won't work. With Simon's personality, if you kill Hussein and Sadr, even if he surrenders with his troops, he won't be doing anything for us!" Su said.
"I have a way!" Canglong said with a smile: "Arrange a secret negotiation for me. I will go to Dekal Province in person and personally greet my future chief of general staff!"
"How many people should we bring here?" Su asked.
"No, I won't take anyone with me!" Canglong said calmly.
"If you don't take anyone with you, aren't you giving Hussein a chance to kill you?" Su said with a cold face: "This is no joke, sir, you should think about it!"
"I just gave him the opportunity to kill me, so that he could kill two birds with one stone!" Cang Long said gloomily: "If you want to do something big, you have to take some risks. How about you go to the meeting with me alone!"
Su's head was full of black threads: "You can go alone, do you have to drag me along?"
"Of course, I don't worry if you go!" Canglong said with a smile: "Don't worry! I will protect you!"
"Can I refuse?" Su looked helpless.
"No!" Canglong objected directly.
Dekar Province, Alliance Army Headquarters, Simon was watching the military situation, but at this moment, the staff suddenly came to report: "General, the Basra envoy is here!" [
"Special envoy!" Simon put down the document with confusion on his face: "Let him in!"
After a while, the special envoy walked in and said: "General Simon, don't feel ill!"
"Haha, please sit down, special envoy!" Simon said with a smile: "Coffee or tea!"
The special envoy shook his head: "No more drinking. This time I have something important to inform General Simon!"
"Please tell me!" Simon nodded.
"The Prophet has decided to pay a secret visit to the Alliance Army tomorrow and discuss surrender with General Simon in person!" the special envoy said with a solemn expression.
Hearing this, Simon looked surprised. He looked at the special envoy: "What you said is true!"
"Of course it's true!" the special envoy said with a smile: "Although I was surprised to receive this notification, it is indeed true!"
Simon pondered. These days, he has actually been debating whether to accept Basra's surrender. According to the current situation, in addition to surrendering to Basra, the coalition forces already have a way out. Sooner or later, the government forces will break through their last defense.
That's when the Union Army will be destroyed.
However, Simon knew very well that if he surrendered with his troops, Hussein and Sadr would definitely be killed, and they would already have a place to escape. Although he did not like these two people, he did not want to
They were dead, even though he knew very well that once the government army or the prophet army defeated them, these two people would also die.
"How many people are they taking?" Simon asked warily.
"Since it's a secret visit, of course I won't lead the troops there!" the special envoy said with a smile.
Simon's face became serious because he felt the overwhelming murderous intent.
