In fact, Alidai has no reason to disagree. People in Iraq are now united, but Iran is full of disappointment in the Revolutionary Guards. After all, there is still a province in their hands, and they are not comfortable even with a military alliance.
According to what Canglong said, although the establishment of a free economic and trade zone is beneficial to both parties, it is more beneficial to Iraq because the entire coastline of Iraq is only more than 20 kilometers and a joint fleet is stationed for future development. As the largest port, it is obviously very inappropriate. of
But if we occupy Iran's Khuzestan Province, Iraq's coastline can expand hundreds of kilometers out of thin air. Khuzestan Province also has two natural ports, one is a military port and the other is a commercial port. These can be the best choice for Iraq's future foreign trade exports.
The so-called military condominium can raise the Iranian flag. In fact, it just gives them a step down. Canglong's meaning is very clear. It is almost impossible for you to go back now, but I will give you a face and let your troops enter here to form your sovereignty. But we The troops must also be stationed here to maintain the stability here. As for how you explain it to the country, that is your business.
For Alidai, this is already a good reply, because even if Canglong does not give Iran any face, Iran will still take advantage of him. If Iran has no way to fight, the Prophet Army will definitely not be afraid of them. You must know that before, the Prophet Army could only attack through a gap in Basra. Iran[
But now the Prophet's Army can invade Iran from any border area between Iraq and Iran. Obviously destroying the military alliance is of no use to Iran.
Moreover, Iran is in a closed state. If it were not for oil, the country would definitely be in poverty. Before he came, the leader of the Revolutionary Committee told him that he could relax the conditions and it would be best to join the free trade area framework because Kuwait is a very good economic cooperation country. partner
This country is not at war with Western countries and may even achieve military cooperation with the West in economic cooperation. After all, Western countries are not monolithic.
Why didn't Hong Kong and Macau be taken back immediately after the founding of New China? There were political considerations, but there were also economic considerations.
At that time, when China was at odds with the West, it relied on the Soviet Union for everything. However, Hong Kong and Macau became the gateway for China to look at the world and open up exchanges with Western countries. This is also why the Soviet Union finally became hostile to China. China was able to establish diplomatic relations with the United States so quickly and become close friends with Western countries. one of the reasons
Now Iraq and Iran are actually blockaded by the West. Even Iran is under an arms embargo by the United Nations. Naturally, the economy is not much better.
But Kuwait does not have this restriction. Now the king of Kuwait is very respectful to the Prophet Army. Although they have not established a military alliance, Kuwait has become an important port of entry for Iraq to the world. The three countries are also oil majors. It is almost impossible to unite to develop the economy. Things that go smoothly
Sure enough, after Iran agreed, the agreement on the three-country free economic and trade area was quickly signed and implemented. Basra established a number of railways and roads leading to Kuwait, and also opened up exchanges between Khuzestan Province and Iran.
But Basra has taken the initiative. With the development of this free trade zone, even if Khuzestan province is returned to Iran and Iraq, it can become the leader of the three countries. Although Basra is small, it happens to be in the middle of the two countries.
All the economic development issues were left to Vivian, but he had all the military issues in his hands. After Iraq was unified, it was obvious that the previous establishment of the Prophet Army was no longer viable.
So Soryu reorganized the entire Prophet's military, homeland defense, air force, and navy as independent branches, and only strengthened their deployment in various areas of Iraq.
In particular, the two branches of the Air Force and the Homeland Defense Air Force have separate general headquarters. Based on the general headquarters, military district headquarters have been established.
Canglong divided Iraq into four major military regions. The first military region is the northeastern military region. The second military region is the northwest military region. The third military region is the southwestern military region. The fourth military region is the southeastern military region.
These four military regions have divided the homeland defense air force and air force into various regions of Iraq, strengthening homeland air defense and air interception.
The Army is also deployed in these four major military regions. In addition to the central garrison, the General Staff is still the highest command center of the entire Prophet Army.
However, the division of military regions makes the army very independent. The commander of each military region has his own independent command authority. If an emergency occurs, he can make his own decision in a short time without reporting it first. It means that you can cut it first and then play it
Of course, the occupying forces and the garrison are still directly under Canglong. The company's General Staff also has the authority to mobilize other units, such as the Special Operations Command, which is also under the jurisdiction of the General Staff.
After the military regions were divided, Vivian felt much more relaxed. She did not need to go directly to Simon or even deal with the regional chiefs' armed forces. As long as the local police said hello to the troops, the troops could report directly to the supreme commander of the military region. Then handle it accordingly, completely avoiding the embarrassing situation where the top command needs to deal with all the complicated and trivial matters.
Just when Iraq's domestic construction and stability were in full swing, the United Nations finally got news. Although the Prophet's Army was so tough, the United States compromised and still voted five votes to agree to the new Iraq's entry into the United Nations [
When the Iraqis received this news, almost the whole country celebrated because this was the first time they used their own strength to build a country. The foreign humiliation that had been burdened on the Iraqis for more than ten years was finally washed away, although their country is still very poor. Poverty, but everyone believes that under the leadership of the Prophet, Iraq will become strong and wealthy
But this is very embarrassing for the puppet "government" in Baghdad, especially the people who still live here. They are facing an embarrassing situation. They are no longer orthodox. If the Prophet Army says they are rebels and they are rebels, they You have to admit it too
People in Baghdad began to flee before the peacekeeping troops arrived. The new Iraqi "government" treated the people and soldiers who escaped from Baghdad equally. As long as they left, they could obtain the qualifications of new Iraqi nationals. Who wouldn't be such a good thing? Are you willing?
In the past, the "government" in the north was still orthodox, but now it is no longer even orthodox. Who is willing to follow them?
Not only the people began to flee from Baghdad, but also the soldiers. Even many senior officials in Baghdad left the US military to stop them. Because the evacuation of these people and soldiers is a good thing for the Americans, at least they will not face constant attacks.
In less than a week, there were only a few Iraqis left in Baghdad except for the US military. This was not because they were loyal to the puppet "government". Even senior officials had fled. What was the use of them staying? The real reason for staying was because of these. People are so attached to this land that they are unwilling to leave it and hand it over to the Americans.
And Natasha finally understood why Soryu left the city of Baghdad. For the US military, these Iraqis were the source of the attack, but they were also the best cover. With the Iraqis there, they had to do many things themselves.
Now all Americans in Baghdad have become real hostages. The Prophet Army can launch any round of attacks here without any scruples.
Even if the peacekeeping troops enter, they will have to wait until this new regime has truly stabilized all regions. No matter how many soldiers the U.S. "government" sends, they will only end up becoming hostages.
The scary thing is that the U.S. "government" still doesn't know about Soryu's strategy. It's even possible that they are thinking of using this stronghold to counterattack the Prophet Army in the future.
This unrealistic fantasy made Natasha smile bitterly. The United States' compromise allowed the Prophet's Army to further control Iraq and even gain legal status. Any military actions they take in the future will not be moral. Although the United States can do so regardless of what other countries say.
But once defeated, we will end up in an even more embarrassing position than now. It may even bring down this superpower because of small Iraq.
But Natasha knew that this was a trap and she could find a way to explain it to the superiors because President Theodore was determined to have his own way and that was what the Senate wanted.
What she can hope for now is that Soryu won't be too harsh on the United States in the future.
Six months later, the peacekeeping force was stationed in Baghdad. Most of the members of the peacekeeping force were from NATO countries. Only a few were from China and Russia.
The peacekeepers flew in from Kuwait, but their plane was escorted by the Su-30 fighter jets of the Iraqi Air Force all the way. It was said to be an escort, but it was actually surveillance.
Moreover, they did not land at the original Baghdad International Airport, but at a newly built Prophet's Army military airport outside Baghdad. Everyone was inspected after getting off the plane, even the Russian peacekeeping troops.
All contraband cannot be brought into Baghdad. If someone's identity is wrong, they will be prosecuted for espionage and the consequences will be disastrous.
At this time, peacekeepers from all countries in Baghdad feel that they are not peacekeepers but jailed. The US military opposite them all have dejected expressions because they must be stationed here under the orders of the US "government"
There are more than 50,000 people in Baghdad, and there are more than 40,000 Americans, of which 30,000 are Americans. The other more than 10,000 are staff of the embassy in the United States. The rest are peacekeepers and people from other countries. As for the Iraqis
Hell, there are only ten Iraqis in Baghdad in this entire statistic.
