Chapter 009, murderous

Despite the UN Secretary-General's denunciation of the southern dú lì as a breach of peace, the parliamentary elections continued as scheduled and focused the eyes of the world

In the words of Al Jazeera, Basra became the cleanest region in the Middle East after the execution of 109 coups, with higher salaries than any other country in the world, and if you want to enter Congress, you have to look at the gallows that stand in front of the gates of Congress

The Prophet was called a butcher in the West, but the Basra worshipped the Prophet as if he were a god, not only because of his economic and military miracles, but also because his decrees protected the interests of all the poor

However, no one expected that although there was no water in this general election, it would set off a war of scolding in Congress, and the leaders of the two parties had begun to quarrel since they entered the door of Congress

Therefore, in one day, the general election lasted from morning to afternoon, and from night to evening, a new prime minister and vice prime minister could not be elected, and finally the interim prime minister announced that the election would continue until it was elected

So the National Assembly became a market for both parties, and the two sides scolded and scolded each other in Congress every day, and no one allowed anyone, and the election was indeed going on, but in the end, no one elected the real prime minister

In the end, the leaders of the Shia and Sunni parties came to the Basra Mosque to meet the Prophet, hoping that the Prophet could personally appoint a prime minister under the balance of power between the two parties, but Canglong directly rebuked the leaders of the two parties, and according to the head of the mosque, the Prophet said at that time: "The prime minister is the head of state, and must be elected by the people.

This sentence was quoted and commented on by the Western media, saying that the prophet wanted to get rid of the identity of the dú cái, but he was still a dú cái

But media outlets in the Middle East, such as Al Jazeera, the most influential of the broadcasters, openly praised the prophet's open-mindedness

However, after the departure of the leaders of the two parties, they jointly targeted one person, and this person was the interim prime minister, Vivian, the prophet, who was very influential in Basra

For now, at least, most of Basra's young people see Vivien as their goddess, while the older ones see the political strongman as their dream girl

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 the current interim prime minister, so she is a person who can upset the balance

However, after receiving the two leaders, Vivian did not take sides, and in the end, the two parties decided to make Vivian directly the official prime minister of the new zhèng fǔ, eliminating the zero hour and the leaders of the two parties as vice prime ministers, and competing for other seats

This decision appeared and was supported by the majority of the people, so Vivian went smoothly from interim prime minister to official prime minister, and the dispute over the general election was completely over, and the two parties decided to govern at the same time, and if the key issues could not be resolved, they would listen to Vivian's advice as a non-partisan person

Unbeknownst to them, this initiative has become a tradition in Iraq, and that almost all of the prime ministers have been non-partisans, with only two deputy prime ministers, Shia and Sunni, indirectly promoting harmony between the two parties, but at the same time maintaining subtle rivalry

As for the administrative system, Canglong handed over all the things to Vivian, and she became the official prime minister, which was something Canglong didn't expect

However, Vivian is also relieved to be 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 battle meeting, Canglong reduced the 150,000 troops stationed in Iran to 50,000 troops, and signed a military alliance agreement with Iran, clearly regulating the behavior of both sides, and Iran will fully support the south to unify Iraq

But the 50,000 troops remaining in Khuzestan Province are definitely not symbolic troops, but real combat units, even if Iran really wants to break the agreement, then 50,000 troops to defend Khuzestan Province is absolutely enough, not to mention that there are militias that have not been incorporated into active duty to assist in defense

After a period of recuperation and recuperation, Canglong implemented a policy of all soldiers, all of whom were citizens in peacetime, but all of them were soldiers in wartime

After concentrating 200,000 troops, Canglong began to garrison the border, and at this time, the opinions of several parties in the battle meeting were opposed

Basra is flanked by Iran and Kuwait and followed by the sea, while on his front is the three provinces of Iraq, the first is Missan Province, which is adjacent to Iran, the second is Dikar, which is located in the other two provinces, Zhengzhōng Yāng, which is also directly connected to the capital Baghdad, and the third is Muthanna, which is the second largest province in Iraq

Of course, the second largest province is not about the economy and the military, but the land is the second largest province in Iraq, but it has no real value, and even the coalition forces have only a small number of people active in this province

When the army reached the center, the small population of the province fled to Basra, after all, the entire province had no oil and no output, and almost a large part of the province was desert

As the deputy chief of staff, Snow Leopard believes that Muthanna province, which is the province with the most land, should be captured first, so as to solve the dilemma of Basra's current population expansion, and after occupying it, some people can be relocated to reduce the pressure on Basra's cities

However, Xiami thought that they should capture the strategic province of Dikar, which was extremely rich, and although there was not much oil, it was the breadbasket of Iraq, and as long as they occupied it, they could advance and retreat, and they could defend it, and then it would be much smoother to send troops to other provinces

Only Bai Wuchang thought that Missan Province should be attacked, because there was the most oil there, and it was even simpler for Aziz and Abulashi, who wanted to attack in three ways and occupy all three provinces at once

Everyone's opinions came out, but everyone had their own opinions, but Canglong was silent, and after half a salary, he said: "Don't fight first"

"Don't fight" Everyone looked strange, and they didn't call them to come to a military meeting

"You guys step up their training, all those soldiers who have fought with the U.S. army in the alliance army have all been promoted to non-commissioned officers, let them teach the active troops, be sure to understand the tactics of the U.S. military before the war, and they must also cultivate their sense of combat, don't be scared by the Americans to pee their pants before the battle is fought," Canglong said, standing up, "Let's dismiss."

Everyone was speechless, and finally left the General Staff Office, and Canglong asked, "Is there any news from Simon?"

"Our envoy has passed, but he is still hesitating, but he has made one condition," Su said

"What conditions," Canglong asked

"Unless we let Hussein and Sadr go, he will consider leading his troops to surrender," Su Su said, "This is the basic condition, if we don't agree, we don't have to talk, even if we attack him, he won't compromise easily."

"This guy is still quite loyal, but it's a pity that he didn't catch Sadr and Hussein at that time, these two guys are unstable," Canglong touched his chin and pondered, "Simon must surrender Hussein and Sadr can't stay"

"I'm afraid this won't work, if you kill Hussein and Sadr, even if he surrenders with his troops, he won't be doing anything for us," Su Su said

"I have a way," Canglong said with a smile, "arrange a secret negotiation for me, I will personally go to Dikar Province and personally greet my future Chief of the General Staff"

"How many people do you want to bring over," Su Su asked

"No, no one," Canglong said calmly

"Don't take anyone with you, isn't this a chance for Hussein to kill you," Su Su's face was cold, "This is not a joke, you better think about it"

"I'm just giving him a chance to kill me, so that I can kill two birds with one stone," Canglong yīn said in a deep voice, "If you want to do big things, you have to take some risks, or you will go to the meeting with me alone."

Su Su's head was full of black lines: "If you go by yourself, don't you have to pull me?"

"Then 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 Su looked helpless

"No," Canglong objected directly

Simon, the command of the Union Army in Dikal Province, was watching the military situation, but at this moment, the staff officer suddenly came to report: "General Basra's envoy has arrived"

"Special Envoy" Simon put down his face with a puzzled face, "Let him in"

After a while, the Kung Fu envoy walked in and said, "General Simon, don't come unharmed"

"Hehe, envoy, please take a seat," Simon said with a smile, "coffee or tea"

The envoy shook his head: "Don't drink it, this time I came here to inform General Simon of something important."

"Please," Simon nodded

"The Prophet has decided to make a secret visit to the Allied forces tomorrow and personally negotiate with General Simon about the surrender," the envoy said with a solemn face

Hearing this, Simon looked surprised and looked at the envoy: "What you said is true"

"Of course it's true," the envoy said with a smile, "although I was surprised to receive this notice, but it is indeed true"

Simon pondered, these days he has actually been struggling with whether to accept the surrender of Basra, according to the current situation, the coalition army has no way to retreat except to annex Basra, and sooner or later the army will break through their last defense, and then it will be the time when the coalition army will fall

But Simon knew very well that if he surrendered with his troops, Hussein and Sadr would definitely be killed, and they would have nowhere to escape, and although he did not like these two men, he did not want them to die in human terms, although he knew very well that if the army of zhèng fǔ or the army of the prophet broke through them, these two men would definitely die

"How many people are they brought," Simon Jǐng asked

"Since it's a secret visit, naturally I won't bring troops over," the envoy said with a smile

Simon's face was solemn, because he felt the murderous aura
