Zhou Ming and Majid moved to the conference room, Salm was placed under house arrest by the three members of the desert team in his room, and Zhang Lin and the remaining six members followed Zhou Ming to the conference room.

This is a very luxurious meeting room, and it is also a new private meeting room that Salm has prepared for himself, the floor is a palm-thick carpet, the conference table is made of millions of tons of mahogany, the head is a delicate crystal chandelier, and all the chair trim is gilded, which can easily blind any 24-karat titanium dog's eye. Let Zhou Ming sigh that this Salm is worthy of being the emperor of Iraq, and even a conference room can be so tyrant.

Zhou Ming and Majid waited here for a while, and at Majid's notice, Iraq's deputy defense minister and communications minister came to the room.

There is no doubt that no country can be dominated by a single family, even if it is a dictatorship, it must be supported by other powerful forces, Iraq is no exception, the Hussein family where Salm and Majid are undoubtedly the largest, and the other coalition families also occupy important positions in the government, the deputy minister of defense and the minister of communications, are such two figures.

It is also for this reason that today's meeting is not so much a military meeting as a meeting of the Hussein family, represented by Majid, to gain their support.

When they arrived, Majid told them that Salm was too ill to preside over the meeting and that he was now acting as president of Iraq. The two ministers were very surprised when they heard the news, after all, Salm has been president of Iraq for so long, and now he is only 53 years old, and he has not heard of any physical condition, so how can they not be surprised that he suddenly said that he was a different person?

However, their surprise was only for a moment, and they were very clever not to say anything, after all, Salm came to power through a coup d'état, and now it is not unacceptable that he has suffered another coup d'état.

After a few more minutes, Major General Zou Yue from the Huaxia Officer Corps also arrived in the conference room, and after introducing them to each other, the meeting officially began.

"Salm has announced our terms of surrender to the whole world before, but unfortunately, neither the United States nor the United Nations will accept our conditions, which means that the war continues, so yesterday, Salm ordered to issue indiscriminate attacks on Gulf countries such as Saudi Arabia and Israel, and now although he is sick, we will continue this war for him. ”

Majid paused here before continuing: "But in the next war, we can't be like before, in order to defeat the enemy, defend Iraq, and defend our regime, we must change our tactics and tactics, and now I am next to the staff from Huaxia." ”

Following Majid's words, Zhou Ming said: "Hello everyone, I am Zhou Ming from China, I think the biggest reason for the previous defeat of Iraq was that the army was deployed on the front line of the war, so that in the early stage of the war, it was targeted by the fierce air raids of the multinational forces, and suffered heavy losses. ”

"Then the next thing to change is to start here, and our line of defense must continue to shrink, abandon the undefendable strongholds on the border, abandon any idea of field warfare, and specifically drag the Americans to engage in street fighting and roadside guerrilla warfare in every city. Zhou Ming said, "In this way, because our soldiers and American soldiers are intertwined, the enemy's high-tech weapons will be rendered useless, and we will have hope of winning." ”

After speaking, Zhou Ming looked at the two ministers, and they both knew the significance of this meeting, so they looked at each other and asked: "Can the guerrilla warfare and street warfare you said really win against the Americans?"

Zhou Ming nodded confidently and replied: "Of course, this has been proven in Southeast Asia. ”

"So, do you have any specific plans for the next battle? After all, this is Iraq, not South Vietnam. "That's emphasized.

For this question, Zhou Ming handed him over to Zou Yue, after all, that is the guerrilla warfare expert trained by the state, and even when the former Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan fifteen years ago, he was the first batch of officers sent to Afghanistan to help them resist aggression with guerrilla warfare.

As a professional soldier, Zou Yue was not ambiguous, he directly hung up the map of Iraq, and then pointed to the map and said: "The US army has achieved control of Kuwait through the Battle of Hiran before, and the 200,000 troops on the front line surrendered without a fight, which must have given the US army a lot of confidence, and the next target of their offensive will inevitably be Basra, and my plan is to choose this second ground campaign here." ”

For Zou Yue's judgment, Majid and they all nodded subconsciously, in fact, even people who don't know anything about military affairs are very easy to understand, because Iraq is surrounded by mountains in the north, and the west is also difficult to climb hills and hot deserts, so compared with these harsh environments, it is obviously much less difficult to attack the line from Kuwait to Basra, which is both plains and roads and railways.

Not to mention that Basra, as the largest port city in Iraq, as long as it is taken, the US aircraft carriers can directly sail into the Euphrates and Tigris rivers, which is why Basra will always be the most strategic place to be taken, no matter which commander it is.

As he spoke, Zou Yue pointed out a point on the map: "Isla is a medium-sized town in the southwest of Basra City, and there are two roads next to him that lead directly to Basra, so it can be said that Isla is the throat of Basra." ”

"But at the same time, Isla is backed by the Euphrates River, and due to the limitations of the terrain, it is destined that the US army will not be able to launch a large-scale armored group attack in Isla, and must pass through the assault of small vanguard units, which gives the guerrillas the best room for street fighting. If we can repel more than three American assaults, then we will be able to leave the main offensive force of the American army on the Isla Gobi. ”

Zou Yue said and drew a circle on the map with his hand, and then continued: "And leaving the main force of the US army behind, this is our purpose, so as to facilitate our next tactical attack, but how to counterattack depends on the battle situation." ”

At the end of his speech, Zou Yue sat back in his seat, and Majid said under Zhou Ming's gaze: "Judging from the current battle situation, only General Zou's arrangement is the most appropriate, but now our army's will to resist and combat determination are obviously insufficient, can we really stop the US army?"

"The will to resist and the determination to fight follow the course of the war, and of course I have a special method. Zou Yue replied.

"In that case, I will invite General Zou to serve as Iraq's national military adviser and take full responsibility for this war. ”

Majid first asked the two ministers for their opinions, and then formally authorized Zou Yue, because this was the purpose of the meeting, and because it was only an advisor, but a volunteer would not involve the country, and there would be no anti-United Nations handle, so Zou Yue also accepted.

Today is February 22nd, and in Zhou Ming's memory, it has reached the final stage of the Gulf War, and it can be said that Zhou Ming's current approach is forcibly changing history. It was also for this reason that Zhou Ming did not dare to delay at all, and after being authorized at the end of the meeting, he left the presidential palace with Zou Yue, and sent Zou Yue and his officer corps away.

It is worth mentioning that this time it was not only Zou Yue and his officer corps who set off to Basra to save the war, as well as the Kurdish guerrillas who were already waiting for them on the road, but also the desert squad and the troops that Zou Yue had temporarily taught in Badina these days.

For Zhou Ming, since everything in Bardina here has ended, and now it depends on the battle situation in the south, it is not necessary to keep the entire desert team by his side.

Although the desert squad has only six soldiers, they are all elite fighters who are one in a million, with very strong physical fitness and proficient in various combat skills, and their intuition on the battlefield is very accurate, such fighters may not be useful in a big battle of the level of the Hundred Regiments War, but in a small-scale street battle, there is a chance to receive miraculous results, Zhou Ming believes that Zou Yue, a very intelligent general, will definitely have a way.

As for the other temporary corps, they were all soldiers who had retreated from the front after an air raid, and a team of 4,000 people was screened by Zou Yue.

Although it is still far from the standard of the elite army of China, it is not so much for the upcoming battle, and according to Zou Yue's introduction, Zhou Ming only remembered that the team of 4,000 people was divided into two regiments according to the habits of the Chinese army, and there were two soldiers who impressed him more, they were named Yasien and Baker.

So, when Zou Yue and his troops got on the train to Basra, Majid also gave the attack order to the missile unit, dozens of Scud missiles were launched, and when the planes of the multinational force went around looking for missiles, the military column was able to reach Basra without any problems.

On the battlefield of guns and gunpowder, the war led by himself is about to officially begin, but for Zhou Ming, there is another war that will also begin.

Zhou Ming returned to his room after seeing Zou Yue away, took out his satellite phone and dialed Lin Muqing's number.

When the number was connected, Zhou Ming told Lin Muqing his identity, Lin Muqing immediately worried: "Zhou Ming, are you okay now? I heard that Iraq has surrendered, what is going on? You are not injured, the situation over there is very dangerous now, Salm is a dictatorial madman, he won't do anything to you, right? You better come back, we are all worried about you!"

Although Lin Muqing's concern made Zhou Ming's heart warm, Zhou Ming still had to interrupt her words and said: "My Sister Muqing, I am very good in Iraq now, Salm has been completely controlled by me, and now the situation here is under my control." ”

Lin Muqing wanted to say something, but Zhou Ming said first: "Sister Muqing, I know that you and Ran Ran are very concerned about me, but now I have more important things to ask you, how is the situation in the international crude oil futures market now?"

Lin Muqing is indeed very concerned about Zhou Ming, but she is not an indiscriminate woman, so she also suppressed her great concern for Zhou Ming, and replied to him: "Affected by the news of Salm's surrender before, the current international market is generally optimistic about the Gulf War, and the international crude oil futures price is also affected by this and is constantly declining, from the previous highest 60 US dollars mark, now it has fallen below 39 US dollars, a decline of more than 35 percent. ”

Lin Muqing thought about it and said: "And according to the expectations of the overall situation, as the US military wins the Gulf War, all large futures companies and investment banks generally believe that the international crude oil futures price will fall further, so most institutions are selling their crude oil futures, which is another important reason for the further decline of the international crude oil futures price." ”

"That's really good news. Zhou Ming said, "Then Sister Mu Qing, let's also sell it now, and we must join forces with the Tang family and Brighton's company to sell it together, so that international crude oil futures will fall to a lower price." ”

Zhou Ming then changed his words and continued: "However, this sell-off can only last until one o'clock in the afternoon of US time at most, and after one o'clock, we will have to recover as many crude oil futures contracts as possible without affecting the price." Especially in the last half-hour of the floor auction, we have to buy all the crude oil futures contracts that we can see, understand?"

"Zhou Ming, what do you mean by this...... The Americans are about to come with the news of defeat?" Lin Muqing asked in surprise.

"The word failure is not so prepared, and if everything is planned, a fiasco would be more appropriate. Zhou Ming said.
