While the world's focus is on Rutbai in the new Iraq, they have forgotten another place, which is Afghanistan.
Under the strong advance of the garrison armored division, the entire Afghanistan came under control. The National Army was changed to the Afghan Prophet Army, and all the Taliban armed forces were incorporated and changed to the Prophet Army Plateau Eagle Special Forces. The future mission of this force will be Maintain the Afghan railway that has already been built.
At this time, Canglong came to Iran, and with him came Omar and Ariza, two former rivals. They came here to participate in the negotiations of the four-nation military alliance. Of course, this four-nation military alliance must also include new members. The negotiations for Afghanistan's accession to the four-nation military alliance mainly revolved around one topic, recognition of the Prophet.
Before this, Iran would have opposed the issue of recognizing the Prophet, but since the Prophet's Army captured Afghanistan with lightning speed and quickly took control of it, Iran has faced a new problem. If it continues to deal with this issue, Failure to remain silent will have a great impact on the subsequent situation.
Therefore, the highest levels of the Revolutionary Guards, including Iranian leader Khomeini, finally compromised.[
In the high command of the Revolutionary Guards, a round table sat with dignitaries from the four countries, including the secretly visiting Russian Minister of Defense and Russian Ambassador to Iraq Nikolaev. The main representative of Iran was, of course, the president and leader of the Revolutionary Guards, Ayatollah Khomeini. Needless to say about Afghanistan.
Canglong had full authority to conduct this negotiation on behalf of Iraq, so at the beginning, Li Ruomo, as the intermediary, explained Canglong's ideas.
"According to the agreement of the military alliance, except for Russia, Iran, Afghanistan, and New Iraq must recognize the religious status of the Prophet and establish the Islamic Revolutionary League headed by the Prophet. The main responsibility of the League is to conduct religious exchanges and oppose any content within Islam. A bloody conflict, and in addition to the prophet, there will be a caliph with full authority to handle religious matters, with the same status as the pope in the Vatican." After Li Ruomo finished speaking, he paused and glanced at everyone, "Of course, except for the military alliance framework agreement Apart from that, the Prophet and the Caliph must not interfere in the internal affairs of any country, I’m done!”
After Li Ruomo sat down, everyone started talking. Everyone knew that once the legitimate status of the prophet was recognized, they would create a terrifying figure who would combine religion and politics in the new century.
New Iraq is such an example. Although the agreement states that the Prophet will not interfere in the internal affairs of each country except for military alliance agreements, will it really not interfere when that time comes?
Everyone here plays politics very well, and of course they will not believe this kind of verbal agreement, even if it is a written agreement.
Once the prophet is recognized by everyone in the country, his status will be higher than anyone else. Even the leader of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and the president of a country will not be able to compete with the influence of the prophet. This kind of power is really too great. Compared with having control in hand The troops here are more reliable.
It is conceivable that everyone believes in this prophet. When the faith is deeply rooted, when the prophet speaks and tells you what to do, how can you do anything else?
Of course, you can also resist, or even leave the alliance, but will your people agree if you leave the alliance, and will the army that is loyal to you agree? Their first loyalty should be to their own faith, and this faith is the prophet. It is equivalent to establishing a spokesperson for God in modern society, or simply a god.
"I want to know how the prophet can guarantee that he will not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries in the future." At this moment, Khomeini said solemnly that the Revolutionary Guards used this trick to get to the top, so Iran will naturally not let Canglong succeed easily. Even if such a system were to be established, the rights of the prophets would have to be limited.
At this time, everyone looked at Canglong, seeming to want to get a satisfactory answer. At this time, the Russian Minister of Defense and Ambassador Nikolay were also very interested in knowing how Canglong set a framework to limit himself. In fact, Russia also I don't want Canglong to have such great power in the alliance of the four countries. Islamic religious beliefs can sometimes be very fanatical.
Canglong's plan can integrate the entire Arab countries and strengthen exchanges and cooperation among all parties through a religious system. This is inherently a good thing, at least for the Arab countries in the Middle East.
But as more countries join in the future, it will be different. If an alliance with religious beliefs as its core emerges in the Middle East, it will lead to huge changes in the world structure. Maybe the Middle East will become the predecessor of another superpower. Not sure.
Although Russia now has close ties with New Iraq, it does not want such a superpower to appear in the Middle East in the future.
But Canglong was already prepared: "Prophets only exist in people's hearts, just like those prophets in the history of Islam. I make such a suggestion not to establish a theocratic system. On the contrary, for the current Middle East The situation is caused by religious divisions, so wherever the problem lies, we will start from there. I can tell you clearly that the Islamic Alliance will not have the next prophet, but there will be the next caliph, and the caliphate can represent There is only faith, but the caliphate cannot interfere in the internal affairs of all alliance countries!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned. What Canglong meant was that there was no prophet after him, but Islam must be integrated, and a leader must appear. This is the caliph, who only controls Intra-religious conflicts, not internal affairs.
But everyone is still a little worried. After all, Canglong only said this verbally. Under the temptation of such great power, who can guarantee that the next prophet will not appear? After Canglong holds the power in his hands, who will Being able to resist him is what everyone is worried about.
But Khomeini did not speak, and even the Iranian president remained silent. They knew very well that it was time for the Russians to play their role.
Sure enough, Russian Defense Minister Ivanov asked: "There is a saying in China that it is empty talk. What if the prophet does not fulfill his promise in the future!" [
"If I choose to dominate the entire alliance in the future, then you can kill me or resist me." Canglong said calmly, "As for where the power of resistance comes from, it is very simple. If there are cages in the world, there will be people who can break free from the cages. , What’s more, in the future, the alliance will have a closer relationship with Russia and a closer relationship with China. The two major countries will not want a person like me to come out and disturb the overall situation of the world. Am I right, my Russian friend!"
Hearing this, Ivanov's expression changed, but he didn't expect Canglong to speak so frankly. Although his face was a little embarrassed, he nodded.
If an alliance is really formed in the Middle East, it will inevitably rely on China and Russia. If Soryu insists on being that dictator and establishes a super alliance dominated by theocracy, it will be restricted by both countries at the same time. There is no room for it in the world.
If such a country exists, even the Western countries in NATO will not allow such a super alliance to emerge.
Therefore, even if Canglong wants to be that person, it is impossible. Religion is a kind of belief, but sometimes it is also a shackles. When people live with shackles on their backs, they will always feel the presence of fatigue, and when they are tired, they want to break free.
The yoke, the theocratic dynasty in the feudal era, is actually an example.
Belief depends on people's free choice, and sometimes it may give people confidence, but if belief interferes with people's normal lives too much, people will certainly not choose to abandon their belief, but they will definitely choose to turn against those who interfere with their lives and rebuild their lives.
A new order.
The history of numbers has clearly outlined this answer.
But Khomeini's worries are also reasonable. After all, they are now an independent country. After joining the alliance, a prophet suddenly appeared from above. Who the hell can stand it.
"Then what are the powers of the Caliph?" Khomeini asked again.
"The pope of Islam manages internal disputes at all levels of Islam and is responsible for spreading religious beliefs, but he has the right to interfere in the internal affairs of any country except for conflicts caused by religion. If you need a clear positioning, then I can tell you that the caliphate
It's just that the president of Islam has the same status as you, but the existence of the caliphate can connect all countries that believe in Islam and build a bridge to consolidate this alliance." Canglong said calmly.
But Khomeini and others frowned, not because Soryu's idea was not good, but because he was too straightforward, and it was too tacky to compare a spiritual leader like the caliph to the president.
But in fact, apart from this positioning, it seems that there is no more suitable one. But at this time, Khomeini asked: "Who elects the caliphate!"
Hearing this, everyone also looked at Cang Long. If they agreed to this system, then a system would be established. But now that the war is imminent, it will take some time to establish this system, but the emergence of the Caliphate is urgent.
"Do you still have to choose?" Canglong said with a smile, "Isn't there a ready-made one?"
Everyone was stunned, but soon they suddenly thought of something, that is, in the past few years, the major Islamic factions had exchanges and elected a caliph, and this person was Maryam.
Although she is just a puppet and even has real power, it is only recognized by a few factions, but she is better because there are people who oppose her, and her lineage is also related to the prophet Muhammad who founded Islam.
However, due to the conflict of interests, all parties were not interested in the existence of this caliphate, so Maryam became a useless existence.
"But he was elected by the Sunnis in Saudi Arabia. How can you guarantee that this caliph will definitely join our side." The Iranian president suddenly said, "And this is while Saudi Arabia and other monarchy countries are at war with us.
The most important thing is, even if the caliphate is here, can it really play its role?"
Everyone was also talking about it. Obviously, they were not optimistic about Maryam, a useless caliph. They might as well elect another one.
But Canglong said firmly: "The reason why I use her is because of her blood, and I can guarantee that she will definitely come back here and settle in the Basra Grand Mosque. As for how she plays a role, haha, this is the meaning of my existence!
