In fact, Ali Daei has no reason to disagree, Iraq is now united, but Iran is full of disappointment with the Revolutionary Guards, after all, there is still a province in the hands of others, even if it is a military alliance, they are not comfortable

According to Canglong, although the establishment of the Zì Yóu Economic and Trade Zone is beneficial to both sides, it is of greater interest to Iraq, because the entire coastline of Iraq is only more than 20 kilometers, and there is a combined fleet stationed there, and for the sake of future development, it is obviously very inappropriate to be the largest port

However, if Iran's Khuzestan Province is occupied, Iraq's coastline can be expanded by hundreds of kilometers out of thin air, and Khuzestan Province also has two natural harbors, one is a military port and the other is a commercial port, which can be used as the best choice for Iraq's post-foreign trade exports

The so-called military condominium can raise the Iranian flag, in fact, it is just to give them a step down, the meaning of Canglong is very clear, it is almost impossible for you to go back now, but I will give you a face, let your troops also enter here, form your sovereignty, but our troops must also be stationed here to maintain stability here, as for how you explain it to the country, that is your business

For Alidaii, this is already a good answer, because even if the dragon does not give Iran any face, Iran has no way to fight, and the Prophet Army is definitely not afraid of them, you must know that in the past, the Prophet Army could only attack Iran through a gap in Basra

But now the Prophet Army can invade Iran from any border area between Iraq and Iran, and it is clear that it is of no use to Iran to undermine the military alliance

Moreover, Iran is in a state of isolation, and if it were not for the oil, the country would certainly be poor, and before he arrived, the leader of the Revolutionary Council told him that he could relax the conditions, and preferably join the framework of the Zì Yóu trade zone, because Kuwait is a very good economic partner

This country is not at odds with Western countries, and may even achieve military cooperation with the West in economic cooperation, after all, Western countries are not monolithic

When the People's Republic of China was founded, why it did not immediately take back Hong Kong and Macao, there were political considerations, but there were also economic considerations

At that time, China had a bad relationship with the West and depended on the Soviet Union for everything, but Hong Kong and Macau became a window for China to look at the world and open exchanges with Western countries, which is one of the biggest reasons why the Soviet Union was finally hostile to China and could establish diplomatic relations with the United States so quickly and become close friends with Western countries

Now Iraq and Iran are actually blockaded by the West, and even Iran is still under an arms embargo imposed by the United Nations, and the economy is naturally not much better

However, Kuwait did not have this restriction, and now the king of Kuwait can be described as deferential to the Prophet's army, although they did not establish a military alliance, Kuwait has become an important window for Iraq to the world, and the three countries are all oil powers, and it is almost a smooth thing to join forces to engage in the economy

Sure enough, after the Iranian side agreed, the agreement on the economic and trade zone of the three countries was quickly signed and implemented, Basra established a number of railways and roads to Kuwait, and also opened up exchanges between Khuzestan province and Iran

However, Basra took the initiative, and with the development of this zì yóu trade area, even if the province of Khuzestan was returned to Iran, Iraq could become the dominant force of the three countries, because Basra, although not large, happened to be in the middle of the two countries

The issue of economic development was handed over to Vivian, but militarily he grasped it all, and Iraq was unified, and it was obvious that the previous establishment of the Prophet Army was not good

Therefore, Canglong reorganized the entire Prophet Army, the Territorial Defense Force, the Air Force, and the Navy, as a dú lì branch of the army, but strengthened its deployment in various regions of Iraq

In particular, the Air Force and the Territorial Defense Force have separate general headquarters, and military district commands have been established on the basis of the general headquarters

Canglong divided Iraq into four major military regions: the first military region is the Northeast Military Region, the second military region is the Northwest Military Region, the third military region is the Southwest Military Region, the fourth military region, and the Southeast Military Region

These four major military regions have divided the territorial air defense forces and air force into various regions of Iraq, and strengthened territorial air defense and air interception

The army is also deployed in these four military regions, and in addition to the garrison of Zhōng Yāng, the General Staff is still the highest command center of the entire Prophet Army

However, the division of military districts has made the army's dú lìxìng very high, and the commander of each military region has his own command authority, and if there is an emergency, he can make his own decision in a short time without reporting it first

Of course, the occupation forces and garrison forces are still directly subordinate to Canglong, and even the General Staff has no right to mobilize others, such as the Special Operations Command, which is also under the jurisdiction of the General Staff

After dividing the military region, Vivian was also much more relaxed, for the chieftain in the region, she didn't need to go directly to Simon, or even to deal with it personally, as long as the local jǐng cha said hello to the troops, the troops could directly report to the supreme commander of the military region, and then deal with it accordingly, completely avoiding the embarrassing situation that the top command needed to deal with all the complicated and trivial things

Just when Iraq's domestic construction and stability were in full swing, the United Nations finally got the news, although the Prophet Army was so tough, the United States compromised and still voted five in favor of agreeing to the new Iraq's entry into the United Nations

The Iraqis who got the news almost the whole country rejoiced, because this was the first time they used their own strength to build a country, and the foreign humiliation that had been borne by the Iraqis for more than ten years was finally washed away, although their country is still very poor, but everyone believes that under the leadership of the prophet, Iraq will become strong and rich

But this is very embarrassing for the puppets in Baghdad, especially the people who still live here, they are facing an embarrassing situation, they are no longer orthodox, if the Prophet Army says they are rebels, they say they are traitors, they have to admit it

Before the peacekeepers arrived, the people of Baghdad began to flee one after another, and the new Iraq treated the people and soldiers who fled from Baghdad equally, as long as they came out, they could qualify as new Iraqi nationals, and who would not want such a good thing

In the past, the northern zhèng fǔ was still orthodox, but now it is not even orthodox, and who is willing to follow them

Not only did the people start to flee from Baghdad, but so did the soldiers, and even many high-ranking officials in Baghdad left one after another, and the U.S. military naturally couldn't stop them, because the evacuation of these people and soldiers was a good thing for the Americans, at least they didn't have to face the attack that came from time to time

In less than a week, only a few Iraqis remained in the whole of Baghdad, except for the American army, and it was not because they were die-hard and puppets that even high-ranking officials had fled, and what was the use of them staying, the real reason for staying was because these people were attached to the land, and they were unwilling to leave here and give the land to the Americans

And Natasha finally understood why Canglong left the city of Baghdad, for the US military, these Iraqis are the source of the attack, but at the same time, they are also the best cover, and there are no Iraqis, many things must be done by themselves

Now all the Americans in Baghdad have become real hostages, and the Prophet Army can launch any attack on this place without any scruples

Even if the peacekeepers arrived, it would be useless to wait for the nascent regime to truly stabilize all regions, and no matter how many soldiers the United States sent over, they would only end up being hostages

The terrible thing is that the United States does not know Canglong's strategy yet, and it is even possible that they are thinking that they can use this stronghold to counterattack the Prophet Army in the future

This unrealistic fantasy made Natasha smile bitterly, and the compromise of the United States allowed the Prophet Army to further control Iraq and even gain a legal status, and it is not moral for them to take any military action after that, although the United States can no matter what other countries say, but once defeated, it will face a more embarrassing position than it is now, and may even drag down this superpower because of small Iraq

But Natasha knew it was a trap, and she couldn't explain it to the above, because President Theodore was bent on going his own way, and that's what the senators wanted

What she can hope now is that Canglong will not be too ruthless against the United States in the future

Six months later, peacekeepers were stationed in Baghdad, with most of the peacekeepers coming from NATO countries, with only a few coming from China and Russia

The peacekeepers came in by plane from Kuwait, but their planes were escorted by Su-30 fighters of the Iraqi Air Force all the way

And they did not land at the original Baghdad International Airport, but at a newly built Prophet Army military airfield outside Baghdad, and everyone had to be checked as soon as they got off the plane, even the Russian peacekeepers

All contraband cannot be brought into Baghdad, and if someone is not identified, they will be punished as espionage, and the consequences will be unimaginable

At this time, the peacekeepers of all the countries in Baghdad felt that they were not here to peacekeep, but to go to prison, and the US troops opposite them all had dejected expressions because of the orders of the United States, and they must be stationed here

There are more than 50,000 people in Baghdad, and there are more than 40,000 Americans, of which 30,000 are Americans, the other more than 10,000 are staff of the embassy in the United States, and the rest are peacekeepers and people from other countries, as for Iraqis

Damn, there are only ten Iraqis in Baghdad in the entire count
