A week later, at the bidding meeting, Russia's Lukor and Longteng International jointly bid for the right to exploit the two super oil fields in Basra, and some other oil companies in Basra Province auctioned off some small oil fields, and signed cooperation agreements with these companies as soon as possible

The actions taken by Zhōng Yāngzhèng Fǔ and the U.S. military did not affect the Basra bid much, but rather facilitated the bid, at least to make it clear to all countries that the U.S. military did not have an absolute advantage over Basra, at least until the Mahdi Army guerrillas and the remnants of the Baath Party were wiped out

As for the remnants of the Mahdi Army's guerrillas and Baath Party, it is not so simple to eliminate, and Iran and some countries in the Middle East have been supporting them from behind, which has greatly affected the security forces and the US military

Especially after Basra has missile forces, the whole world now knows that Basra already has the world's most advanced anti-aircraft missiles, the US-led NATO military alliance accuses Russia of selling missiles illegally, and the Prophet Army believes that they are destabilizing the regional balance

However, Russian officials countered that the missiles were not sold by them, but that the Basra Prophet Army had bought them from the black market, and ridiculed that after so many years of US occupation of Iraq, it was difficult to restore even the basic power supply to the capital Baghdad, which in just a few months had restored the power supply and solved the problem of food, clothing and employment for the citizens

These words not only have the flavor of being a scoundrel, but also the smell of provocation is very strong, and I am behind my back, what can you do with us?

So the two sides began to fight a war of words, and similarly, Iraq and Basra were also fighting a war of words, and Vivian deliberately set up a propaganda hall to deal with the reverse fight of zhōng yāngzhèng fǔ, and the most important thing was that zhōng yāngzhèng fǔ was only talking, but the missile troops of Basra were doing it every day

The citizens of Basra can see the missile unit almost every day, they are training every day, and they are conducting live-fire exercises, and the careful citizens have discovered a very interesting thing: once the US Air Force makes a move, the missile planes on the Basra side will extravagantly send out one or two missiles, which are said to be training troops, but in fact they are threatening the air safety of the US military

This made the two Iraqi US air bases afraid to carry out large-scale air operations, and only dared to send drones to conduct small-scale reconnaissance, but did not dare to enter the airspace of Basra

Without large-scale air support, the US Army is basically trembling in the north, which naturally reduces their efficiency in eliminating guerrillas, and in the past, their operations would be supported by the air, but now in addition to drones, helicopters are the only ones

In the space of a week, the number of U.S. drones and helicopters dispatched by the two air bases in Iraq reached several thousand, almost catching up with the frequency of the attack on Iraq, but the guerrillas got a large number of anti-helicopter rocket artillery and even some of the better ones out of nowhere to pose a threat to the drones

Therefore, in these days of purges, the security forces suffered heavy losses, and even the US military was shot down, a Black Hawk helicopter was shot down, and two American pilots died directly on the spot, prompting the anti-war sentiment in the United States to become more and more intense, although the White House spokesman pointed out that they were not in Iraq for war, but for the purpose of restoring Iraq, rebuilding and stabilizing the situation in Iraq

However, the American people are not so easy to fool, and with the media hyping up the difference between Basra in the capital Baghdad, the people's antipathy towards zhèng fǔ has become more and more intense

At the headquarters base of the Prophet Army, Xiami is commanding the missile unit and has begun regular training, but what is different today is that their radar screen is locked on a US drone in the airspace of Kadir Province, a neighboring province in the north of Basra Province, which is also the first time that Xiami has fought in a province outside the airspace of Basra

Basra is bordered by three provinces and two neighbours, Kuwait in the west and Iran in the east, Muthanna in the north-west, Qadir in the north, and Missan in the north-east

Of the three provinces, Muthanna Province is basically in the desert, adjacent to Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, there is no oil, and it is basically difficult to grow crops, and after the Iraq War, the Americans handed it over to Rìben's troops, and later the United States withdrew its troops, and Rì himself naturally withdrew, but Rì himself contracted a lot of land in this capacity, and he did not know what they were doing

As for the remnants of the Ba'ath Party, they do not seem to have much interest in this identity, so their numbers are small, although the security forces have only one combat battalion and one Jǐng cha battalion in the entire province

In the north, Qadir province is rich and, although it does not have much oil, it is one of Iraq's sources of food

The northeastern province of Missan is not only rich, but also a major oil province, with 30 billion barrels of oil in the province, which is said to have the most oil in the central province

Longteng International once bid for the largest oil field in the province, but because the remnants of the Baath Party clashed with the Zèng Fǔ army in the province and occupied almost the entire province of Missan, the oil field is still controlled by the remnants of the Baath Party, and it is secretly cooperating with Iran to develop it, which is also the direct source of financial resources for the remnants of the Baath Party

The four Baath Party (Baath) provinces are all adjacent to Basra, forming a natural line of defense, which is why the U.S. and security forces cannot afford to be afraid of Basra

As for the Zhèng Fǔ Army in these provinces, they were indebted to deal with the remnants of the Baath Party when the U.S. Army and the Zhōng Yāngzhèng Fǔ Army in the north were fighting against the Prophet's Army

"Is it locked?" asked Shrimp, staring at the radar screen

"The third missile position has been locked, but there is only a 30 percent chance that it will be hit," the technician said

"Then wait until it's getting closer, it's talking about what we have anyway, it's time," Shrimp was not in a hurry at all, as if he had laid a trap and waited for the animal to enter

Five minutes later the technician said, "It's OK."

Shrimp immediately picked up the phone and said: "Send shè missiles"

Although the prophet had already given the order to use the US planes as targets, they were still worried that the Americans would pay a terrible price for their cross-provincial provocations

Everyone stared at the green and red dots on the radar screen, and at this time, most people hoped that the missile would not hit the drone, only Shrimp looked excited and looked forward to something

Obviously, the Russian man-made S-300 is very reliable, and after a few minutes, the red and green dots on the radar screen disappeared one after another, and then an excited report came from the No. 3 missile position: "Chief, the missile accurately hit the target"

Shrimp smiled, and then gave an order: "All missile positions, pay attention to the fact that they are now in actual combat, and all missiles are aimed at the drones of the US military in Kadir Province and Missan Province, and do not hesitate to attack Zì Yóu."

There was an excited voice from the missile position, and this day was destined not to be calm, and six US drones of various types were shot down by the missile unit under surprise, and the US military can be described as suffering heavy losses, although the cost of most UAVs is not very high, but UAVs of this type like the Predator are very expensive

Surprisingly, the U.S. military did not react at all, as if they had eaten a dumb loss, lost their blood teeth, and swallowed it in their stomachs, and even the zhōng yāngzhèng fǔ in Baghdad did not engage in a war of words with the propaganda hall in Basra

This further fueled the arrogance of the missile units, which fired missiles regardless of the cost, shooting down 20 US unmanned reconnaissance planes of various types within a week, and almost every 10 missile positions of the missile units fired more than 10 missiles

During the week in Basra, missiles were seen almost every day, and the citizens at first thought that there were air strikes, but the militia and the Girls Army did not organize them to enter the bomb shelters, so they got used to getting up and even discussing where the missiles were going in their spare time

But whenever these things are mentioned, the people of Basra are impassioned, and many people think that this is the prophet's counterattack against the Americans, and their hearts are even more enthusiastic, thinking how many years they have been taken care of by the war in Basra, and how they have been so relieved that they have been beaten before

Now that it was completely reversed, the people of Basra were naturally very excited, and with the strong propaganda of the Women's Army and the militia forces, for a time there was a mood brewing in the whole Basra for the Prophet Army to fight Basra

The province did not say a word about the actions of the missile forces, and it seems that both Basra and Baghdad were silent but secretly arguing

Fifth month

Canglong came to the province to greet the governor Zinnam and the deputy governor Asad in person, and in the past these rìrì nights, Basra has regained its prosperity towards the rì

Because of the low tax policy of Basra Province and the fact that there are still two super oil fields that have not been opened, all foreign large enterprises have also begun to settle here, after all, in the last auction, the reason why Russia's Lukor Company and Longteng International were able to come out on top is mainly because Basra Province Zhèng Fǔ proposed that whoever invests here first can get the right to oil exploitation first

Therefore, the so-called bidding is actually to give priority to Longteng International and Luke, and then the rest is left to other countries' oil companies

Everyone thought that Basra would definitely be attacked by the Americans and the Americans after the oil extraction, but more than a month later, no one expected that the oil exploitation in Basra was in full swing, and the Americans and the Basra not only did not strike at Basra, but the Prophet Army continued to provoke the United States and the Zhōng Yāngzhèng Fǔ

No one could have imagined that in just one month, investment in Basra would burst out, and countless factories would swell like bamboo shoots after the rain in Basra, just because at the next bidding meeting of the province of Basra, another large super oil field was about to open and priority was given to the right to choose, and a minimum investment amount was set in the Basra investment province, and only when this minimum investment amount was reached could they have the right to bid

From industry to agriculture, to port transportation, Basra has created the wonders of the Middle East, and of course it has to do with the natural geographical location that Basra occupies
