Chapter 114, Execution
Iran does not have weapons to fight Basra, because Iran's missile forces are the strongest in the Middle East, with missiles with a range of more than 2,000 kilometers, but Basra's air defense system is not vegetarian, the emphasis is on quantity, one missile can't intercept you, then two, two can't do three, three can't do ten, it's okay, right?
Moreover, Iran's missile forces are in the hands of the Revolutionary Guards, not conventional forces, and Iran's navy is also in the hands of the Revolutionary Guards, not the president, and unless the conservatives order a full-scale war with the bus, the president can only use the little conventional forces at his disposal.
So a few days later, the Iranian president died down, and at the same time, the person sent to negotiate also arrived, it was Ali Daei, Canglong fulfilled his promise, so that the radical president regretted it, Fao was defeated, 50,000 troops did not return, and the supreme commander became a prisoner of the other party, which set off a huge crusade against the president in Iran.
Coupled with the conservative push behind it, the president's step down is not far off, and he may face conservative-initiated censorship.
Ali Daei was still very happy to come to Basra again, at least the Prophet Army helped the conservatives to cripple the regular troops that the President could use, and the Supreme Leader of the Conservatives was very happy, the only drawback was that now the Prophet Army was stationed on the border and was eyeing the posture of aggression against Iran.
After comprehensive consideration, the conservatives believe that the negotiations are still more appropriate, but there are still some conditions for a truce.
"I didn't expect that in just one year, the Prophet Army would grow to this size, which was really eye-opening for us. "Ali Daei was very polite.
"If you want to open your eyes, you can send troops over, we are fighting. Canglong's answer was simple.
Alidai smiled awkwardly and said: "We are friends, we should not be mortal enemies, if we fight for a few years like the Iran-Iraq war, it will be not good for both you and me, and it is only the Americans who can pick up the bargain." ”
"Then you're here for peace talks?" Canglong asked.
"Of course, but the necessary conditions for peace talks are the return of Major General Hazem to Iran and the same cessation of shelling of the Iranian border. "Of course, we will also stop the blockade of the Iraqi coastline, release the captured fishermen, open the Persian Gulf to Basra tankers, and compensate you accordingly." ”
Alidaii's meaning is very simple, Major General Hazem we will deal with it, you have to give us face, although he is the commander of the regular forces, but Iran wants face, if you kill him, you don't give Iran face, it is difficult for us to be people, but if you want to insist on killing him, then we can only block the Persian Gulf and the coastline of Basra.
Canglong just smiled, Ali Daei was indeed polite, if he was not polite, he could have threatened himself with Iran's missile forces, but Ali Dayi did not do this, he spoke very level, not only put forward his own requirements, but also reminded Canglong, and did not threaten him too much.
Maybe Ali Daei had good intentions, but he also understood that if the battle continued, it would be bad for both sides, but he didn't know what Canglong was thinking, so he would be surprised next.
After being silent for a while, Canglong said: "The war was started by you, but it will not end, I have the final say, I will not give it to you, you have to give an account to Iran, I also have to give an account to the two million people of Basra, I think the lives of those thousands of innocent people are more important than your compensation." ”
"Are you really going to fight?" said Aridaii, whose face was not good.
"Even if I don't fight and wait for you conservatives to clean up the president, will you easily let Basra go?" Canglong stared at Ali Daei deadly, only to see that he suddenly panicked, but he didn't know how to answer, Canglong continued, "You can't answer, I'll answer for you, you Iran don't need a strong Basra as a neighbor, but need the stupid and unthreatening forces of the Baath Party to become a neighbor, so when you conservatives solve the president, it's my turn next, right?"
Alidaii didn't speak, he knew very well that answering or not answering, it was the same, and Canglong was right, politically it was like this, negotiations were always temporary.
Forced by Canglong to be helpless, Alidai smiled bitterly: "Why are you so persistent in doing things against us for Basra, we are still friends, right?" ”
"Yes, it's because we're friends that I'm telling you the truth. Canglong looked serious, "If I don't treat you as a friend, you won't be able to enter Basra at all." ”
Alidaii was silent for a moment before he said, "Since you know all this, why do you want to help us defeat the president's army?
"I don't want to cede territory, let alone leave the executioners who slaughtered the people of Basra alone. Canglong said calmly.
"Just for this?" Ali Dayi was really surprised, Canglong didn't act like a politician, because in the eyes of politicians, sacrifice is a common thing, just take care of the overall situation.
"The people of Basra believe in me, and I have to do it in order to live up to their trust. Canglong said.
Alidaii was silent again, this time for a long time, a few minutes before he spoke: "What do you use to fight against the mighty Iran? We have countless oil, enough to support us in any war, we have missiles with a range of more than 2,000 kilometers, the whole of Basra is covered, we have the most powerful navy in the region, and you only have a few broken ships, what do you use to fight us?"
In the face of Ali Dayi's unceremonious questioning, Canglong smiled and said: "You have a lot of things that we don't have, but we also have a lot of things that you don't have, Israel was poor and white at the beginning, and it is not standing in the Middle East, you are not the same and powerless, sometimes people's hearts are more important than strength." ”
Alidaii stopped talking, and then he didn't persuade or threaten him, he just smiled helplessly, he knew that he couldn't change Canglong's decision, each was his master, he didn't have much to say, he could only choose to leave, but he didn't really give up.
After leaving, he went to the Russian consulate and the Chinese consulate in Basra, and at the same time began to act in the high-level of Basra, Ali Daei believes that Canglong is so confident to start a war with them entirely because of the support of Russia and China, and these two countries are traditional partners with Iran.
If you choose between Basra and Iran, you will definitely choose the latter, after all, Iran has more oil than Basra, and China is also very dependent on Iranian oil, almost 20% of which is imported from Iran.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Nikolav and Wan Zeliang to find Canglong at the same time, asking Canglong to hand over Hazem to Iran and stop the war with Iran, otherwise they would go back and tell the boss that they were not supporting this war, and Canglong's answer was very simple, he would think about it.
Nikolav and Wan Zelian left confidently, if they did not support Basra, although Basra would not collapse, but it would definitely not have the strength to face Iran.
What Canglong didn't expect was that the second group of high-ranking officials who came to persuade him were actually high-ranking officials in Basra, and they all said big truths, as if they were all thinking about Basra, and surprisingly, Vivian, the Minister of Administration, did not come, and the two high-ranking officials of Chiram and Assad came.
Canglong's reply is still the same, he will think about it.
In the next few days, Canglong ordered to stop the shelling of the Iranian border, but the army did not retreat, so many people thought that Canglong had compromised, but only two people thought that Canglong had not compromised, one was Su Su, and the other was Vivian.
And Vivian knows Canglong very well, once she makes a decision, she will not change because of anyone's threat, so Vivian is very interested in not persuading Canglong.
A week later, when everyone thought that the war was over, when everyone thought that the Prophet would hand over Hazem to the Iranian government, Canglong went to the provincial government and informed Vivian that she should issue an order for all the people of Basra to take a day off and gather at the provincial government, where he would personally deliver a eulogy for the people who died in the port of Basra.
This order is not surprising, everyone thought that Canglong would hold a memorial service to win people's hearts after the end of the war, after all, the prophet army won a big victory, and such an opportunity was rare.
But when the day came, they didn't think so, the government was crowded with people, the militia was maintaining order, Canglong first read a eulogy, and then prayed for the dead, roughly hoping that they would go to heaven, while the people of Basra wept bitterly and worshiped the wisdom of the Prophet.
However, just as everyone thought it was over, a man was tied up and escorted, and a gallows was raised in the middle of the populace.
In front of the representatives of various countries, Canglong calmly took out another document and read it out: "Hazem, the commander of the Iranian XX Army, led the army to invade Fau, and carried out a large-scale massacre of the people of Basra Port, and was captured by our side in the defense of Fau, according to international law, the Basra court sentenced Hazem to the crime of anti-humanity and executed by hanging, immediately!"
Although the delegates had already guessed what the dragon wanted to do when Hatham was brought up, they were still shocked when the dragon announced it, and the word hanging signaled the young prophet's firm choice, and it was also telling everyone that this was Basra, killing to pay for life, and paying debts, no one was exempt.
With the announcement of the dragon, several soldiers went up, put ropes on Hathem, and hanged Hatham under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, and the people cheered, because the culprits of the war had finally received the punishment they deserved.
But the officials in Basra were silent, and even felt creepy, and then they realized how stupid they were to persuade Canglong, and Canglong's betrayal of this hanging was to tell them, my decision, do not be disobedient, please don't take yourself too seriously.
