Chapter 036, Free Zone

What is unthinkable is that the United States' application to the United Nations was unanimously approved by the five permanent members, but people who are interested seem to understand that this is to give the United States a step down, after all, Canglong is too tough, and the Russians feel that Canglong should be given some constraints, and the peacekeeping force is tantamount to the best choice.

Soon, Vivien was notified by the United Nations, but she did not immediately agree, for the simple reason that the new Iraq did not join the United Nations, and the United Nations did not recognize the regime of the Prophet Army, and the most important thing is that if the peacekeepers are allowed to enter Baghdad and demarcate a non-belligerent zone, if the Prophet Army wants to take military action in the future, it must be notified to the United Nations, and it can only be carried out with approval.

However, the promise could usher in a period of stable development for the nascent Iraq, and while Baghdad may remain under the control of the United Nations, it has also limited the movement of multinational forces, especially Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Israel, which are eyeing each other.

So Vivien immediately came to the mosque, and by this time most of the high-ranking generals of the Prophet's army had gathered, and there was nothing else but Vivian's administrator.

Most of the generals expressed opposition to the attitude of the peacekeeping troops entering Baghdad, and in the words of the snow leopard, now they are close to the last step of reunifying Iraq, what is the matter with the stationing of peacekeeping troops? It means that you have done almost everything, and suddenly someone says that you are not legal, we have to intervene, and you cannot do this.

Most people's considerations are like this, and in the end, everyone looks at Canglong, and the decision is in his hands, this is a major matter related to the future of the country, and they can only put forward opinions as a matter of course.

Canglong seemed to have made a decision a long time ago, and said calmly: "Pass the application, let them in, but it's ......"

"But what?" everyone looked at him.

"Unless the United Nations agrees to join the United Nations, they don't want to send a single soldier into Iraq. Canglong's tone was still very tough.

Although everyone is a little dissatisfied with Canglong's decision, after all, this leaves a security risk for the future, and if the US-led NATO countries want to take military action against Iraq, then they have a very favorable condition and excuse.

But Vivien's consideration was different from everyone else's, she agreed: "I think the Prophet's decision is very much in line with our current situation, first of all, we must recuperate, the first war with the American army, Basra has suffered heavy losses, plus the recent overrecruitment, the new provinces are not stable, if we provoke a war, our economy can hardly afford it." ”

Hearing this, Simon also agreed: " The prime minister is right, if we continue to fight, even if we occupy Baghdad, we will only nominally unify Iraq, but the prophet proposed to join the United Nations, which is equivalent to letting the whole world recognize our regime, and then we will be the real legitimate government, and let the peacekeeping forces intervene, which can also save the surrounding countries from eyeing us, at least the Americans have no excuse to encourage the Middle East countries to go to war against us, if it is just one Saudi Arabia, we can deal with it, but if we face Israel, a military power in the Middle East, we may face a lot of pressure, with the Saudi economy, Israel's military strength, combined will push us into a desperate situation。 ”

Everyone nodded, the Americans' 1st Armored Division was almost out of breath when they hit them, although there was an element of a sneak attack, but Iraq is so big, all the economic lifelines are concentrated in Basra, if the US-led NATO countries surprise attack Basra, or carry out saturation bombing on Basra, they will lose their biggest economic lifeline.

The most important thing is that the newly unified Iraq is relatively stable in the southern provinces, but the northern provinces are different, first of all, the Kurds in the north have been clamoring for independence, and those chiefs don't seem to believe much in the prophets, almost all of them are grass on the wall, if these hidden dangers are not eliminated, the occupiers might as well not occupy here.

"Then it was decided, you issued a statement in the name of the government, if you don't join the United Nations, we don't need the peacekeepers to intervene, after all, we are not a state party, if they dare to forcibly intervene, so all foreign affairs will be regarded as aggression!" Canglong said calmly.

After the meeting, Vivian immediately returned to the State Department, and in the name of the prime minister, issued a statement on behalf of the new Iraq, which seemed reasonable, but it shook the whole world, especially the last sentence, if the United Nations does not agree to Iraq's entry into the United Nations, all foreign affairs intervene in Iraq, and will be regarded as aggression.

This statement is too arrogant for NATO countries, and some media have even publicly condemned the Prophet Army, saying that it is threatening the United Nations, and even Al Jazeera, which has been cooperating with Basra, has uncharacteristically condemned the dictatorship of the Prophet Army.

However, Basra does not seem to intend to have a war of words with the media, and there has been no follow-up since the statement was issued, and there are two swordsmen competing in martial arts, and I have already made a move, now it depends on how you deal with it, if you deal with it, I will play with you, and if you don't deal with it, I will do my own thing.

Baghdad.

Natasha looked helpless after getting the news, although Canglong had already threatened the United Nations, but she knew very well that the United Nations would compromise in the end, especially the United States.

After all, there are still more than 10,000 American prisoners of war held in Basra, and if the negotiations are not made as soon as possible, Baghdad will sooner or later be broken by the Prophet Army, which is equivalent to sending more hostages to the Prophet Army.

The most helpless thing for her is that it is very difficult for the US troops in Baghdad to counterattack now, and the Prophet Army has deployed five missile brigades outside Baghdad, each of which is equipped with nearly 30 missile launchers.

The five missile brigades are 150 missile launchers, and although the US Air Force in Baghdad is ready to go, they are all under the radar monitoring of the Prophet Army, and if they make any abnormal move, the missiles will lock on to their planes.

All the advantages have disappeared, and they have become hostages of reality, but Natasha doesn't know what the hell Canglong is doing, why does she have to leave a single Baghdad? With the ability of the Prophet Army and the morale of the American army, it is completely easy to take Baghdad.

Natasha didn't think that her persuasion of Canglong had any effect, she knew that Canglong would not be threatened by anyone, and her deal with Canglong did not satisfy him, so what did she want to do with Baghdad these days, which is only 860 square kilometers?

Soon, however, there was another big news from Basra, that the capital of the new Iraq would be Basra, not Baghdad, and that Basra would be nicknamed the City of Freedom.

This free city means that Basra will be fully open and develop as the full economic and political center of Iraq.

At first, this decision was opposed by many Muslims in the north, because Baghdad was the capital of Iraq from beginning to end, and it was already an ancient cultural city, and it was emotionally difficult for Muslims to abandon Baghdad, but on the same day, Canglong, as a prophet, gave a speech on radio and television stations throughout the country.

The reason why Basra is the capital is not because Baghdad is still in the hands of the puppet regime, but because Basra is the gateway to Iraq, and he hopes that any future ruler of Iraq will remember the shame of Iraq in the early stage, and be prepared for danger in times of peace.

If Basra is finished, it will be the end of Iraq as a whole.

This speech with emotion and incitement made all the opposition of Muslims in the north disappear, because Canglong's approach was tantamount to putting the center in the most dangerous position in the future, and only in the face of danger at all times could the government be self-reliant, which was also in line with the image of a prophet in their hearts.

However, after Prime Minister Vivian's speech, he once again stated that in the future, Baghdad will be recaptured and Baghdad will be designated as the old capital and the first holy city, and the Prophet will also enter the holy city and sit in the old capital, and Baghdad will serve as the military headquarters and religious shrine of the Prophet's army in the future.

This division has attracted great attention from the media at home and abroad, with some saying that this practice is a separation of the military and the government, while others say that it is a separation of church and state.

Basra in the south, as a free and open capital, became the political center, and the main force of the Prophet's army was far away from the capital, showing the determination of the military not to interfere in politics.

The north, as the old capital and holy city, has taken on the responsibility of the development of Iraq's traditional customs and religious beliefs, which may seem to make Iraq into two parts, but in fact it unites the hearts of all people, taking care not only of economic development, but also of national beliefs and religious purity.

Some people even say that once this system is established, Iraq will become the country with the fastest economic development in the Middle East, and the country with the strongest belief in Islam, such a country is very terrible, and when the economy develops to a certain extent and everyone in Iraq lives a rich life, their faith will make them very grateful for the spiritual notice of the Prophet, and even take it for granted that all this is given by the Prophet.

For Vivian, the nascent country was in ruins, but fortunately, Basra's development model could lead to the whole of Iraq, and in the Persian Gulf Vivian decided to build a free economy for the three countries.

With Iran's Khuzestan province, Iraq's Basra province and the entire territory of Kuwait, create an emerging free trade economic zone.

Moreover, this plan has already begun to be negotiated, and the Kuwaiti side has not much opinion, and the Iranian side is very uncomfortable, because Iraq has been reunified, but the Prophet Army has not withdrawn.

However, from a certain point of view, the former capital of Baghdad has not yet been taken, and it is indeed not a reunification, and the Iranians feel that they have been swept away by the dragon, and the Prophet Army can obviously capture Baghdad, but it has not moved, and it has also fought with the United Nations, which makes them very unhappy, thinking that Iraq will occupy their province forever.

Even when the Russians mentioned this, the dragon avoided talking about it, which deepened the Iranians' speculation.

In the end, Ali Daei personally found Canglong, and Canglong had to give him a reluctant answer: "Baghdad has not been taken yet, Iraq is not considered unified, and now we are suffering from internal and external troubles, you have to give us some time." ”

"How long?" asked Alidai cautiously, now that the Prophet Army has mastered a country, Canglong is this leader, they were able to fight them in the past, but now they can, and it will be easier than before.

"Otherwise, the province of Khuzestan will be jointly administered by the Prophet Army and the Revolutionary Guards, and a joint commander will be elected as a free zone for economic and trade exchanges, and the two countries shall not interfere in any development of the free zone for any political grounds. Canglong said calmly, "But the sovereignty is still given to you, and the Iranian flag can be raised locally." ”

Hearing this, Alidai was stunned for a moment, and agreed at that time......
