Throughout July this year, the world continues to be dizzying with all kinds of news that happens every day. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Unlike ordinary people who care about industries related to their lives and work, or news such as entertainment and leisure, military and politics, the political axes of various countries are still focused on the Middle East.

Some say that the Middle East today resembles the Balkans before World War I. Although this statement is somewhat exaggerated, there are always some traces to follow.

Iraq in the Middle East staged a war blockbuster for global audiences in July. Lao Mei is good at shooting all kinds of war films to praise the 'merits' of the US political axe, but this time the actual combat recorded in Iraq regards the Americans as the 'enemy'.

Anti-cold guns, cold guns, digging tunnels, and laying mines......

Guerrilla warfare, movement warfare, ambush warfare, sneak attack warfare......

Gunshots, explosions, and frightening and desperate scenes are taking place in Iraq's 440,000 square kilometers of land.

Saddam's defenders, patriotic and anti-American guerrillas, terrorists, foreign forces, and dragons and snakes who took advantage of fire to rob and fish in troubled waters all emerged from corners and carried out attacks again and again against US GIs and NATO troops in Iraq.

In just one month, Iraq has been like a living hell, and according to some statistics, Iraq's attacks on NATO troops in July reached one-third of last year's total. This is only a month's 'achievement', causing more than 3,000 civilian casualties, and more than 400 meters of NATO GIs died on the battlefield far from their homeland.

The sudden outbreak of attacks in Iraq has terrified many countries with troops in Iraq. This time, in particular, the attacks on NATO troops are obviously more organized than before, and most of the attacks have been almost completely planned and organized, from intelligence to weapons and ammunition, from the point of attack to the retreat route, almost like a sophisticated instrument.

Although NATO troops still have nearly 200,000 troops in Iraq, the current war is not the case of World War I and World War, where tens of millions of people fought together and tens of thousands of people died. It's a big deal to have a few people die now, and it's easy to make the whole world know about it. These self-proclaimed 'boiled' national political axes can hardly bear the anger and opposition of the people.

Waves of anti-war demonstrations were spontaneously held in many cities in Europe and the United States. A civilized country, a group of civilized citizens, will never accept the title of 'aggressor'.

This is not to defend the country, if it is a war against aggression, even if countless people die, the people will understand and support it. This is a war of aggression, and even if it is a war of aggression, it is nothing, but since it wants to invade other countries and gain benefits, it must not cause major casualties. No one can remain indifferent to the death of their relatives and friends in a war that seems to have nothing to do with them.

With the withdrawal of Bulgaria and Ukraine from Iraq earlier this year, the number of coalition forces in Iraq has been reduced from 39 to 25, and some coalition members already have withdrawal plans. However, there are still some countries that want to participate in the coalition forces in Iraq in order to show their existence or for some reason, such as the Asian country of South Korea.

The high-brow wave of attacks in July frightened many countries with troops in Iraq and hastened plans to withdraw their troops from Iraq. With the defeat of the Saddam regime, the benefits that all countries should have gained have been obtained, and what should be expressed has also been expressed. But for the sake of some interests, it is not cost-effective to become mortal enemies with a country, especially if this country is still a 'radical country'.

Fighting against a regime and fighting against a country are two completely different concepts. Saddam's regime is unpopular in Iraq, it does not have the support of the people, and it is a 'righteous surname' to participate in the conquest against it, but it can stand on the opposite side of tens of millions of Iraqi people, and even the United States will feel a headache.

The small calculations of some member states of the coalition forces in Iraq were quickly revealed through some channels. At this time, the US political axe naturally did not want any allies to pile up, and the US political axe alone would bear the pressure, so a new round of NATO's high-level meeting on strangling Saddam Hussein's extremely organizational backbone was held again.

On the other hand, the coalition of the Iraqi National Liberation Front (BNF) and Iraqi anti-American groups rejoiced at the response, as they saw that the July counteroffensive had paid off.

Under Saddam's call and under the impetus of various forces, both openly and covertly, a new round of encirclement and suppression and counter-encirclement and suppression are accumulating strength and waiting to break out.

Although Li Mo is concerned about the building of the army every day, he is still extremely concerned about the movements in the Middle East. Every day, there is not only news from the Ministry of Intelligence, but also some information shared by two allies in the Middle East: Iran and Syria.

Behind the scenes of the big stage of Iraq, several countries are secretly involved. Although they are not united and cooperative, they both know that each other is also stirring in this pool of water, and they have a tacit understanding of each other's limited cooperation.

"Boss, this is the first batch of lists selected by the Black Hole Special Forces, you see if there is any problem, if there is no problem, I will take them to strengthen training." Luo Xiang handed a list to Li Mo and said.

In this List of Members of the Black Hole Special Forces, there are 237 names. These people will undergo special training for half a year, knocking out 137 people, leaving only 100 qualified soldiers.

Li Mo flipped through it casually, and he still had some impressions of some of the names on the list. After all, those who can be selected by Luo Xiang are all the kind of powerful people who are more famous in the army. These people are all the objects of attention of the Ministry of Intelligence, and Li Mo is naturally very clear.

"Ah Xiang, when you went to pick people, those commanders didn't embarrass you, right?" Li Mo asked Luo Xiang to sit down first, and asked with a smile.

Luo Xiang's face became a little bitter when he heard this, "Boss, why didn't you stop me?" These people are the top of all units and are the objects of training, and many of them have even become the next batch of cadets of the military academy, and as long as they graduate from the military academy, they will be low-level officers. Those troop commanders are very baby, if it weren't for the warrant in my hand, I'm afraid I would be tied up in the army by some strong-tempered people and wouldn't be able to come back! ”

Although there was some joking in the tone, it could also be seen that when picking people, the troop commanders definitely didn't give Luo Xiang a good look. Although Luo Xiang is the commander of the special forces, he is a cronie of Li Mo's cronies, and he may be the commander of the troops, who is not the boss to the cronies? Why did you have to transfer some of the top players I found here? Don't do it! I don't do it even if I kill it.

At the beginning, when several troops heard Luo Xiang's intention, they all shook their heads and tactfully proposed to replace some people. When Luo Xiang disagreed, the commanders of these troops changed their methods again, and we made friends. Greeting with good wine and food, and accompanying you with shoulder to shoulder, so you are embarrassed not to change people, right? Who knew that Luo Xiang had also identified the people on the list, and now it was the turn of the commander of the army to be unhappy, but they didn't dare to come hard, so they had to use the excuse that the soldiers on the list were injured or on a confidential mission. In short, if you can't provoke it, you hide, hide the soldiers, find excuses, find excuses, and try to hide.

The commanders of the previous units were caught off guard by Luo Xiang because they were not prepared, and they could only watch helplessly as they led people away. But the news was quickly spread by various channels. The commanders of the troops behind had an idea, and Luo Xiang was unwilling to quarrel with these people, but he couldn't delay the boss's orders, so he immediately invited the chief of staff Hussein.

"Are they so obedient?" Li Mo was still surprised.

"Hehe, how can they be so obedient, they didn't even give face to Chief of Staff Hussein at the beginning, in short, they were scoundrels. Later, it was the chief of staff who revealed some plans for the reorganization of the troops, so that the commanders of these units could be honest.

This is because the content of the "Army Integration Plan" involves the disarmament of infantry brigades. These commanders of the troops, who don't have a friend in the troops? Who doesn't have a few things that are pleasing to the eye or have something to do with them. This time it gave the superiors face, and the superiors will also take into account the feelings of their subordinates when they are disarming. Give some face on some less important issues.

Li Mo nodded, these things are trivial. As long as he doesn't have the intention of rebelling and doesn't affect his control over the army, he doesn't bother to pay attention to these little problems.

"So be it for the list. But Ah Xiang, when you train them, you can contact the falcon. His side might be a good place to train soldiers. ”

Luo Xiang was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and said with annoyance, "Yes, why didn't I think of this?" The Blood Eagle mercenaries often fight on their side, and we can train for a period of time and send them over to train them in actual combat, which is much stronger than practicing at home. Boss, I've heard that the Falcon is doing a good job in Chad, and now they don't need any funding from here? ”

Li Mo smiled and nodded, "He helped a tribe win a battle over there, got a silver mine, sold it to a foreign company, and made a lot of money." ”

"Boss, I think this profession is very good, can you send some soldiers over? In the last Soken War, most of the soldiers didn't fight much, so they didn't experience the tempering of war. If the batches are scattered to the Xue Ying mercenaries, it will not take a year or two for your professional soldier plan to be completed. ”

At present, all countries in the world have begun to put forward the concept of a professional army, and many countries have begun to build a professional army. The most important thing in a professional army is professional soldiers. Treat the military as a profession, not serve for two or three years like a conscriptor and then go home. Generally speaking, the term of service of professional soldiers is at least six years, and some technical arms are even as long as ten or twenty or thirty years.

Through a variety of modern means to recruit excellent soldiers, and then through more than ten years of military training and training, these professional soldiers are very strong in combat effectiveness, because the soldiers have been engraved with the concept of military people into the bone marrow, they have been treated as a profession, no need to think about anything else, as long as they hone and improve their military skills at all times.

Professional soldiers are trained and cultivated through long-term and orderly training, but in this era of peace, although professional soldiers can master various military skills, they rarely have the opportunity to participate in actual combat. War is the only way to test a soldier's qualifications.

The strength of the US team lies not in the advanced weapons and tactical thinking, nor in the perfection of logistics, but because they are one of the few armies in the world that have experienced actual combat.
