Chapter 162, The Peter the Great Incident
After the meeting, Xiami and Snow Leopard couldn't go to Canglong to ask the reason directly, but they found Su Su, and everyone thought that the field division was the main force, but in fact, Su Su's military intelligence agency was the real main force, because the intelligence agency took care of everything and collected everything.
In a sense, they are comrades-in-arms and belong to the same Chinese faction, but the only difference between Su Su is that only he can often contact Canglong, and he did not choose his own position, as the head of the Intelligence Agency, Su Su knows his duty very well.
So this time Shrimp and Snow Leopard found Su Su, just to know what Canglong thought, without Canglong's support, the Chinese faction would not be able to fight the local faction of Badr at all, although it seems that they now control most of the power in Basra, but they are not locals after all.
As the size of the Prophet Army grows larger and the system becomes more complete, there will be an inevitable result, that is, the power of the local faction will exceed that of the Chinese faction.
Faced with the question of the two, Su Su didn't think about it, and said directly: "Don't forget the purpose of our coming here, we are soldiers, not politicians." ”
This answer shocked both Shrimp and Snow Leopard, and at this moment they suddenly thought of what Canglong said in the Taklamakan Desert, soldiers should never try to become politicians, otherwise they will lose their hearts.
"We didn't want to be politicians, but Badr is planting more and more people in the army, forcing us to fight back, otherwise sooner or later we will be overthrown, and if we don't have our support, how can the head control the Prophet Army?" Shrimp asked rhetorically.
"What soldiers should worry about is army building, not fighting." As he spoke, Su Su smiled mysteriously, "As for the affairs of politicians, it should be done by politicians, don't you think your head is becoming more and more like a leader?" If you believe him, then let him solve these things, and in his eyes, some people are nothing more than clowns. ”
After Su Su finished speaking, he left directly, but the snow leopard and the shrimp were silent, these words were like thunder, if they forgot their purpose and wanted to become a politician from a soldier, it might be the last thing Canglong wanted to see, appointing Hei Impermanence as the commander of the Volunteer Army and promoting Akram was actually a warning to warn them not to cross the line.
In the end, the snow leopard smiled bitterly: "It's still your head smart, let's not be that clown who jumps off the beam." ”
Shrimp was expressionless, but he understood one of the most important things, in Basra Canglong is the supreme ruler, he is the prophet, and he is also the spiritual leader of the Basra people, whether it is administratively or militarily, he can delegate all his power to his subordinates, but if anyone wants to be the clown, then they have to ask him if the prophet agrees.
Even if Badr and their local faction were able to unite the military and political top brass to overthrow the Chinese faction, what use would that be? Because the Prophet's Army is loyal to the Prophet, you may be busy for a year or two in all your duties, and it is not as good as a word of the Prophet.
Moreover, in Basra, where it is so prosperous today, the people's faith in the prophet has gone deep into their bones, and if they really want to rise up against the prophet, first of all, the people of Basra will not agree, let alone the army.
So in any sense of the word, this infighting is futile, even if the locals are in control.
After understanding this, Xiami and Snow Leopard broke out in a cold sweat, the purpose of their coming here is not to become a politician, but to fulfill the duties of a soldier, if they become politicians one day, I really don't know what it will be like, and what kind of choice will Canglong make when the time comes?
After Su Su returned to the Intelligence Bureau, Canglong was waiting for him, and saw that Canglong was looking at the latest issue of the Basra Prophet, Su Su did not bother, but made tea, and then one person had a cup, Canglong picked up the tea, took a sip, and said, "You reminded the snow leopard and shrimp?" ”
"Of course, if you don't warn them, I'm afraid they're going astray." Su Su smiled and said, "I don't want to wave the butcher knife at my comrades one day. ”
"Oh, how could you have that thought?" Canglong put down the newspaper and drank tea.
"Because you're already a leader." Su Su said helplessly, "A good leader not only has to do good things, but also does a lot of bad things. ”
"If I told you that I wouldn't cut them out, no matter what they do, would you believe me?" Canglong asked suddenly.
Su Su was stunned for a moment and said: "Faith, I believe that you are a person who keeps his promises, but I don't want to watch my comrades-in-arms being corrupted by politics like this, they are all pure soldiers, what is the difference between going against your own heart and dying?" ”
Canglong smiled and didn't say no.
But Su Su continued: "Head, you obviously knew that they might go the wrong way, not only did you not dissuade them, but also added a fire to them and made them jump into the fire pit, I don't understand what you think." ”
"Rights are drugs, once you get them, it's hard to quit, you shouldn't remind them, because I just want to see how much resistance they have to rights and how far they will go, but now it seems that they disappointed me." Canglong said calmly, "But this can't be blamed on them, even if they are specially trained soldiers, they are so fragile in the face of power, what they are afraid of is not facing the temptation of power, but stepping into the whirlpool of power, and unable to extricate themselves." ”
"If you live in ancient times, you can become an emperor." Su Su said with a smile, "A wise emperor will never participate in the battle of the ministers, but just watch from the sidelines, and in the end, whoever threatens the emperor's rights, the emperor will order the killing of this threat." ”
"If I were the emperor, you would be the eunuch by the emperor's side." Canglong suddenly added, "For the tiger, help the abuse, you also have a share." ”
This metaphor made Su Su shudder, but he still smiled and asked, "Then will you be like the emperor and finally kill the person who threatens your rights?" ”
"Do you think anyone can threaten me?" Canglong asked rhetorically.
At that time, Su Su was silent, indeed, no one who could threaten the rights of Canglong in Basra had not yet appeared, whether it was Badr or possible Akram in the future.
"You're really not going to do something?" Su Su said, "Just in case, lest it be too troublesome to solve in the future." ”
"Didn't you just ask me if I would kill the people who threatened me?" Canglong said, "My answer is no, I will not kill the person who threatens me, because power is just my tool, I don't need to kill for power, but if someone threatens what I am about to achieve, then it will be very easy to solve." ”
"Kill them all?" Su Su made a gesture to wipe his neck.
Canglong didn't answer, but the silence already represented acquiescence, Su Su only felt a chill hit his heart, Canglong was far more terrifying than he imagined.
Soon, the Prophet Volunteer Army was selected, this time there was no objection, but it was the elite selected from various units, and at the same time, the mining team of Longteng International was also recruited, this special team composed of 1,000 soldiers and 5,000 workers, and headed towards the central provinces.
Regarding the commander Black Impermanence, Canglong only said one sentence when he parted: "When you get over there, don't wronged yourself, don't trust anyone except Simon." ”
What Canglong didn't expect was that Hei Wuchang replied: "I only believe you." ”
This sentence made Canglong completely dispel the idea that Black Impermanence might have an accident in the Alliance Army, but it gave birth to another concern, Hussein and Sadr might have a headache.
After the matter of sending troops was settled, Canglong could finally rest for a while, at this time it was more than half a year before the war, and it had been almost three years since he came to Iraq, and everything in Basra was going on a predetermined track, both economic and military, in a kind of speeding track.
Negotiations with Iran were also imminent, and within a few months of reaching the third year, not only Iran sent a special envoy, but even Wan Zeliang began to urge Canglong to rush back to China, and the leadership could not wait.
But Canglong was still leisurely and leisurely, and did not plan to go back, because another incident happened that made him have to deal with it urgently, and this matter originated from the stay of the aircraft carrier Peter the Great.
Nikolav has already replied that the aircraft carrier can use Basra as its home port and conduct a series of training here, but the warships of the original Black Sea Fleet will not arrive in Hong Kong, and the Russian military is ready to form a joint fleet with the Prophet Army in Basra Port, and the warships of this combined fleet will be produced by the Black Sea Shipyard.
The purpose of the Combined Fleet is also very simple, to protect the common interests of Basra and Russia in the Persian Gulf, and the military expenses of each side will be half of the military expenditure, and the same will be the cost of building other warships, half of each of them.
But Russia will train the navy in Basra, and the initial fleet personnel will be two to one, which means that one of the three will be from the Basra Prophet's army, and two will be Russians.
Canglong is already very satisfied with such a ratio, because his ultimate goal is to hope that the Russian bodyguards can become Russian thugs, so as to completely solve the Basra maritime threat, of course, he also knows that it will take time, but at least he ensures the business volume of the Black Sea shipyard, and the security problem is also solved with the cooperation of Russia.
This is probably the happiest of King Hamulet, who finally doesn't have to worry about it, just waits to collect the money, which is also the only project he has worked with Canglong to make money.
However, the Russian aircraft carrier has been staying in the port of Basra and has also begun carrier-based aircraft training, which has made the central government very dissatisfied.
But what's the use of being dissatisfied? The Russians just won't leave, what can you do? Moreover, the Russian military newspaper also openly declared that it would train a navy for Iraq and temporarily form a small joint fleet with the Prophet's army.
This is a very beautiful statement, but in fact, the so-called combined fleet is only beneficial to the Prophet Army, and has nothing to do with the whole of Iraq.
The most nervous is the Americans, the Fifth Fleet trained in the Indian Ocean was immediately pulled back, and the Russians want to intervene in the Persian Gulf, which they cannot tolerate.
The famous Peter the Great incident took place
