Chapter 033, The Revelation of Allah
() The province zhèng fǔ quarrel is inseparable, but Canglong is in the branch of Longteng International, listening to the snow leopard report on the recent situation of the Prophet Army
"We now have a total of 3,000 troops, 2,500 men in addition to the Air Force and Navy, which is the division of all combatants," Snow Leopard said calmly, and the first thing they did after the Basra security forces were incorporated was to disarm
Basra has a total of two Jǐng Cha battalions, a combat battalion and a tank battalion, a total of 6,000 people, such a huge number is already a lot for a province in Iraq, after all, it has just experienced a war, everything is rebuilding, and it is difficult to maintain such a small province to support so many people
The entire territory of Iraq is only the size of a medium-sized province in China, and the oil economy it relies on has not yet recovered, and the 6,000-strong army is already overrun
Without U.S. assistance, it is estimated that we can afford one or two thousand people, which is already very good
The reason why Canglong was disarmed was not because he had no money to feed these people, mainly because they were all trained by the Americans, and the first priority of the prophetic army was loyalty, followed by strength, and it was useless for soldiers who were not loyal to fight
Therefore, in the first time, Canglong cut half of the number of combat battalions, 1,500 people, and only 500 people were qualified to join the Prophet's Army, as for the tank battalion, which had been paralyzed, so it was directly eliminated by Canglong, even if it was not paralyzed, Canglong felt that it would not have much effect to raise these tanks in modern warfare, at best, it was used to suppress the popular uprising, but now everyone in Basra believes in him as a prophet, so there is no need to raise tanks at all
After all, once a war with zhōng yāngzhèng fǔ or the U.S. military starts a war, tanks will only become the target of the Baghdad Air Force, and Canglong will not do such a thankless deal
As for the two Jǐng Cha Battalions, one in Basra City and the other in Kada Prison, because the prison was destroyed, Canglong directly abolished half of it, and the rest were all placed under the jurisdiction of the militia headquarters
Of course, the other units that were dismantled, Canglong, did not let them idle, but put them all into the militia sequence, and the militia headquarters was under the unified jurisdiction of the militia headquarters, so the current militia is jǐngcha, and they were also soldiers in wartime, and when there was no war, they were all organized as workers and peasants
It's just that no one expected that Canglong would actually send Hei Wuchang to be the commander of the militia, and of course Bai Wuchang would also assist him
As for Jīng Rui of the Prophet Army, Badr continued to lead the Prophet Army, and the deputy commander was Vivian, and the other members of the Prophet Army all became military advisors, and did not hold any real positions in the Prophet Army, but they were responsible for training the Prophet Army
"The air force airfields have all been changed to civil aviation, and the coastal jǐng reserve is only responsible for coastal patrols and protecting the fishing boats that Basra goes out to sea, and without my orders, they cannot go to war with the navies of any neighboring country without permission," Canglong said calmly
"Changed to civil aviation" Snow Leopard was very puzzled by Canglong's decision, "Why don't we establish an air force?"
"Is it time to build an air force?" Canglong asked rhetorically, "The Americans have a lot of air bases in the Middle East, if we play the brand of the Air Force, once the war starts, the airport will be the main target of the Americans, can you play the US Air Force?"
"Yes," the snow leopard nodded, "but it's not a matter if we just don't advance or retreat."
"The important thing now is not to build up military preparations, with the current situation in Iraq, we have no way to compete with the Americans, and if we do, we will only become a target for the Americans, so why waste money on this, but we also have our advantage, Basra, all the people's hearts are now here, what we have to do is to continue to expand this advantage," Canglong said calmly
"But you can't be unarmed at all," said Snow Leopard
"No, the people are our armament," Canglong said calmly, "By the way, how is the contact with Alidaiyi?"
"You said those anti-aircraft missiles have already started to be shipped from the border, and the assembly plant has been set up, but there is a shortage of manpower, and now the base is training missile troops," Snow Leopard said
"Well, negotiate with Alidai as soon as possible, let him bring more anti-aircraft missiles, the more things this stuff is, the better, the only thing we need to build up now is the missile force," Canglong said calmly
"These missiles are all gratuitous," the snow leopard looked strange, because this matter was Vivian's responsibility, he was only responsible for receiving, although it was not a large missile, but it was enough to build a small air defense system, what could it be to fight helicopters, but if you want to hit American fighters, then you owe it
"You think so beautifully, Ali Dayi will definitely have to pay us back in the future if he provides us with missiles," Canglong frowned, "Although I am friends with him, after all, he is behind Iran."
"By the way, Vivian said that Iran seems to be sending a special envoy to discuss cooperation with us in the next few days," Snow Leopard suddenly thought of something
"Look, this is coming," Canglong was not surprised at all, now Iraq is in civil strife, and neighboring countries want a piece of the pie, "Soon it will not only be Iran that will come, Turkey, Jordan and Saudi Arabia will send special envoys to listen to our movements, but the only ones bordering us are Iran and Kuwait, and Iran will send a special envoy to come, it is not surprising that Kuwait will definitely not send a special envoy over, this is a regime supported by the Americans, but we have to wait for the special envoys of these countries."
"You're waiting for Lao Maozi," the snow leopard guessed something
"Who else in the world today dares to shout with the Americans, except for Russia," Canglong said with a smile
Then he asked his assistant to prepare the car, and then went to the province, and by this time there had been more than two hours of arguing inside
"If you don't come, they're going to start fighting," Vivien said with an angry look at Canglong
Canglong after his disguise looks completely different from usual, but at least no one will think that he is the president of Longteng International, and here he is just a prophet
Hearing this, Canglong didn't care: "Then let them quarrel for a while, let's go and drink tea first"
Vivien looked incredulous: "You're not, aren't you?"
"I am," Canglong looked like a scoundrel, and then really came to the next office, making tea and drinking it leisurely
After a while, Badr also came, and seeing Canglong so leisurely, he looked anxious: "If you don't pass, they will really fight."
"Let them kill a few," Canglong sipped his tea, looking comfortable
This made them very speechless, but Canglong really drank tea in this office for two hours before going to the conference room
His arrival silenced both Shiites and Sunnis, and most of them had already seen the prophet of the dragon, so when he arrived, they all shut their mouths, and then stood up and saluted respectfully: "Prophet"
Canglong sat down in his place with a blank face, just now in the office, Badr had already told Canglong the reason for their quarrel, so he asked a question as soon as he came: "Who will tell me why Allah gave Iraq so much oil but in the end it couldn't become rich like other Middle Eastern countries"
The chiefs of the two factions, you look at me, I see that you don't speak at all, and when I see this, Canglong said: "Chief Assad, you come and talk about it first."
Assad was closing his eyes and recuperating, when he was suddenly called by Canglong, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a while before he said: "Because Dú Cái ruled Saddam Hussein and brought Iraq to Dú Cái, our top priority is to pull out the US military base and establish a mín zhǔ regime headed by the prophet."
"This will lead Basra to destruction, and we will not be able to compete with the Americans, and so on to solve the threat of the remnants of the Mahdi Army and the Baath Party, and we will bear the brunt of it," a Sunni chief suddenly stood up and said pessimistically
So the whole venue quarreled again, Canglong frowned, pulled out the gun of Badr beside him, and shot it at the ceiling
There was a "bang" and the quarrel all stopped, and everyone looked at him with fear on their faces, and Canglong returned the gun to Badr, and then pointed to the chief who had suddenly spoken: "Drag him out, remove him from the chieftaincy, and appoint someone else to be the chief."
Badr was stunned for a moment, and gave the guard a look, and the chief was dragged out, and when he left, he did not seem to realize what he was wrong, but he did not dare to insult the dragon, because all Basra believed that the dragon was a prophet, and in Islam he was hanged for insulting a prophet
The conference room was quiet again, and the Sunnis were trembling, while the Shiites, led by Assad, gloated
"Chief Chiram, you are the most influential Sunni person, come and tell me why Iraq has become the way it is," Canglong looked at Chiram lightly
Although the former governor of Basra was removed from his post by zhōng yāngzhèng fǔ, he was not removed from his post by Canglong, and he still held the position of governor, only the Kurdish general was shot on the spot by Badr for leading an army against the prophet, and the other officials naturally did the same, and if they were really killed, the administrative system of Basra collapsed
Chiram trembled: "I think it's the war that has brought down Iraq's economy, so we can't go to war, we should negotiate peace with the Americans and get the understanding of the Americans."
"Fart, there is no war, where is peace, do you want to be an American dog like that," one of the Shiite sheikh stood up and scolded
But this time, the Sunnis did not refute it, and they were all angry and held back in their hearts, apparently they felt that the prophet of Canglong was for the Shiites
"Drag him out and treat him the same as the chief just now," Canglong coldly ordered
This made the whole venue instantly uproar, and the Shiite sheikh looked incredulous, and this time Badr did not immediately make a move, but said strangely: "Prophet, this"
"Are you questioning my orders," Canglong stared at Badr coldly
Badr swallowed and eventually sent someone to drag the Shiite sheikh out
At this time, the Shia chiefs were all surprised, but the Sunni chiefs were puzzled, and then no one dared to speak on their own
After everything calmed down, Canglong said: "Allah has given you trust and made you the chiefs of the tribes, but you are arguing and fighting every day, how can you be worthy of Allah's trust in you, the Prophet Muhammad once said that the Arab nation can only become strong if it is united, so it is not the war that drags down Iraq, but the internal fighting, it is your disunity, so I don't want to hear your quarrels, if I find out, I will re-appoint another person to be the chief of your tribe, understand?"
Hearing this, the chiefs looked confused, but finally nodded and agreed
"As for the future direction of Basra," Canglong paused and glanced at everyone, "Allah has long given me revelation to solve hunger and poverty, restore the economy of Basra, so that the people of all tribes can perceive the blessings of the Prophet's arrival, as for war and the Americans, you are not to think about it, Allah will enlighten me"
