Chapter 055, it's really cheap

"Damn the Russians, do you think I won't be able to deal with you with a few missile radar vehicles," Natasha was furious at the US military base

This attack was the first large-scale air raid since the US military returned to Iraq, but it did not expect to lose eight Predator drones in a row, and even one aircraft F16C defected, which was simply a shame for the US military stationed in Iraq

However, the operation suffered a heavy setback at the very beginning, and if the media found out that Basra had not received any damage the next day, wouldn't it have increased the arrogance of Basra, and the countries would certainly think that the United States was playing tricks, but in fact it had no combat capability against Basra at all

At least on the face, it was completely unattachable, so Natasha immediately contacted the Navy to prepare for a new round of bombing, of course, this time not to send fighter jets, but to bomb Basra using missiles from Navy ships

"I just don't believe you have so many missiles to intercept the Navy's Tomahawks," Natasha sneered

But when she contacted her, the sea eagle appeared next to her at some point, startling her: "Can you knock on the door first when you come in?"

"I'm sorry, I'm used to it," the sea eagle disagreed, "What are you going to do and get revenge on him?"

"We just lost eight drones, an Iraqi pilot mutinied, are you going to make me sit back and wait for tomorrow the media to hype up our incompetence," Natasha asked rhetorically, "at least we can't let that Iraqi pilot live"

"How much do you know about the current air defense forces in Basra, do you know where the pilot is now," the sea eagle asked rhetorically, "although the defection of this Iraqi pilot was not premeditated, I believe that after you called the Navy, the F16 had been dismantled and hidden in a place that you can't find now, and this place is likely to be their command post"

Natasha was stunned: "I will not hesitate to carry out a cover-type saturation bombing of Basra"

The sea eagle shook his head: "I know what you think, but the U.S. military has always been able to carry out bombing with the cooperation of ground or air intelligence networks, and returning to Iraq has already burdened us with too much negative news, and I believe that the White House does not want to bear a negative news about bombing civilians now."

Natasha calmed down, and the phone she held in her hand finally put it back: "So what do we do now, just let him develop?"

"I told you a long time ago not to get too mixed with too many personal emotions, it will affect your judgment and command," the sea eagle said, shrugging his shoulders, "Of course, if you insist on going your own way, I don't bother to dissuade you, anyway, the United States will help you clean up the mess, but you will lose the opportunity to deal with him"

"Is it still going according to the original plan?" Natasha hesitated, if she still had confidence in the plan proposed by the sea eagle before, then after testing the details of the dragon this time, she would not have so much confidence and confidence

"Iraq is so big, where is it strong," the sea eagle disagreed, "When we support the security forces and advance all the way to the border in Basra province, won't it be easier for the navy, land and air force to unite to deal with him, so no matter how much trouble he gives us before that, we will have to endure it."

"Patience" Natasha is angry, because this is not the American style, the American style is unreasonable, let alone enduring

"Then what can you do to make the United States more infamy," the sea eagle laughed, "I'm sure he's waiting for you to take further action now, once you bomb Basra, tomorrow the front page of all the newspapers around the world will be the massacre of Basra civilians by the U.S. military, you must know that His Excellency the President sent troops back to Iraq, not to fight a war, but to help Iraq recover and rebuild, although this is a pretense of fooling people, but at least to save face, you know?"

"You really know the people in the council," Natasha nodded, in fact, she knew all these truths, but she just couldn't swallow this breath

"If I didn't know about them, I would have died from their guns," the sea eagle smiled, remembering his past, "Let's make a bet"

"Bet on what," Natasha said

"Just bet that tomorrow's newspaper will definitely be unexpected," said the eagle with a smile, "in fact, he is playing around, which is the means of using the power of the media to raise anti-war sentiment in the country, so that those people in parliament will have to be constrained, and you will be under more pressure, but if you do your thing with peace of mind, he can't find an excuse, what can he do with you?"

Natasha calmed down a little and nodded, "What a surprise"

"You wait and see, if nothing else, you continue to contact the Navy for a night, which is not very long, for the powerful American Navy, bombing Basra is not a problem at all, and it does not need any timing," the sea eagle said calmly

Natasha didn't know where he came up with so many excuses, but she still nodded, there is an old Chinese saying, ginger is still old and spicy, and Natasha believes that this sentence is very reliable, at least for sea eagles

By the next day, the headlines around the world were really unexpected, starting with the national media reports on the changes in Basra, according to Reuters, Basra is now a city of miracles, and the Prophet Army has done what the Americans and the British have not done, solving the hunger and poverty of Basra

Al Jazeera's report was even more surprising when they showed a video of the interview that made the world unbelievable that it could be Basra, a city that had been cared for by war for decades, and the journalist directly described Basra as the city of hope in Iraq

Although the praise and criticism of journalists from various countries are mixed, most of them are inclined to Basra, and more are satirical about the United States and Iraq

In particular, CNN's report that the U.S. return to Iraq was a mistake, taking taxpayers' money to serve the parliamentary consortium, and that the miracle of Basra is a kind of satire on the U.S. and that the U.S. parliament and the White House should launch a national reflection

The British BBC reported a novel news that last night the Baghdad security forces and the US military launched an air raid on Basra, and released a set of photos, which mentioned something in the photos that shook the militaries of various countries because of the appearance of anti-aircraft missiles in the photos

BBC commentators said that Basra fired this advanced missile during a US air strike last night and successfully destroyed several Predator drones of the US military, and now Iraq's airspace is not there and there is no defense

Of course, there is another hot news, but it has been suppressed by various countries, but this news has been broadcast in Iran and Arab countries, saying that an air force of the Iraqi security forces piloted Iraq's only F16C to land at Basra airport, apparently surrendered

In the face of overwhelming media reports, especially the disguised irony, there have been many anti-war demonstrations in Europe and the United States, and even demanded the complete withdrawal of US troops from Iraq

"Well, are you still preparing to saturate Basra?" the sea eagle asked

Natasha shook her head helplessly, if yesterday she asked the Navy to strike, it is estimated that today's news will not be ironic, but the condemnation of the whole world, and may even give the United States a crime against humanity, just because Basra has created a miracle, and it is more prosperous than Baghdad now

And the problems that the new zhèng fǔ and the U.S. military spent more than a decade in Iraq unresolved, Basra solved all of them, and did not even use the oil there

"This guy is so cunning, I used to think that he was only in the field of killers, but I didn't expect him to play politics well," Natasha said helplessly

"A person who can become the world's number one killer will naturally not be so simple, China doesn't have an old saying, what is the name of the famous, there is no void," the sea eagle said unconcernedly

At the same time, when Basra Canglong looked puzzled, and when Vivian came to report to him, Canglong asked, "The U.S. military is not moving."

"What else do you want them to do?" asked Vivien rhetorically

"It's really strange, with what I know, she must be going to fight back, how can she die down after suffering such a big loss," Canglong looked strange

"You just rest, take such a big advantage, and sell it here," Vivian glanced at him angrily and handed him a copy, "This is a piece of news that was just released, saying that the reason why we were able to build Iraq so well is because of the secret extraction of oil."

"Oh," Canglong took the piece and looked at it, throwing it aside, "Looks like they're starting to play scoundrels"

"But we also had problems, and last night's airstrikes and tensions undermined investors' confidence, and even though we intercepted the U.S. bombing, they were still worried about war here at any time," Vivien said

"It's not surprising," Canglong said with a smile, "let the province hold a press conference and tell the media that Basra will remain completely open no matter what happens, and investors from all countries are welcome to come, and the Prophet Army will protect all investments in Basra Province, and no matter which country invades the Prophet Army, they will not have to come back, and Basra will not engage in dú cái"

Vivien nodded and recorded it, but the last one made her face change and sarcastically said, "Aren't you in dú cái now?"

"Are you sure I'm dú cái," Canglong laughed and defended, "I'm carrying the hopes of the people, can't be called dú cái"

"Whatever you say makes sense," Vivien said sarcastically

"By the way, let the shrimp pull out all the missile units, no need to hide them, since the zhōng yāngzhèng fǔ is a scoundrel, and the Americans have begun to put up with it again, then we have to beat him with hot iron, don't save me, the Americans dare to send planes to bomb, we will use them as targets, and we will use them as training troops."

"You won't be afraid to push the Americans, and you're not afraid of being scouted if you show all the missile forces," Vivien asked

"You wouldn't think that, Natasha wouldn't think that, she would have thought I had more missiles to hide, but I didn't have anything, but I just wanted to show it, what could she do with me," Canglong smiled

"Really cheap," Vivien said, turning and leaving
