The whole world is paying attention to Basra, thinking that after the Prophet Army has solved the border threat of Kuwait and signed a non-aggression friendship agreement with Kuwait, it will fight Iran with all its strength to completely solve the Iranian threat.

So, in any case, the Prophet will continue to fight, either against Iran or as far north into the heart of Iraq as it expands its strategic depth in Basra.

According to Iranian media reports, Iranian intelligence officers found at Dizful Air Base that the Prophet Army had evacuated a large number of fighters from Dizful Air Base, but still maintained a considerable number of fighters, including two Tu-22M bombers.

This move makes people wonder what the Prophet Army wants to do, but even so, the Prophet Army, which occupies an absolute geographical advantage, is still a sword hanging over Iran's head, and no one knows when it will fall, and the Iranian Navy is firmly controlled in both ports in Khuzestan Province.

The large ships of the Iranian Navy have also withdrawn from the range of Khuzestan, because they are afraid that the Prophet Army will attack again, and Iran, which has experienced the defeat of the war, is now politically unstable.

Coupled with the threat of the Prophet Army, it was difficult to protect itself, and after the war, the contradiction between the regular army and the Revolutionary Guards became deeper and deeper, and if it were not for the support of a sufficient number of Basij, I am afraid that the Revolutionary Guards would be difficult to control the situation.

The most astonishing thing is that the Prophet's Army not only absorbed the 50,000 prisoners of the Iranian regular army, but also the Iranian regular army that followed them to Tehran in the second war and followed the retreat, totaling more than 200,000 people.

And of these 200,000 people, the Prophet's army did not have much fortification, so it transferred 100,000 to Basra Province to garrison, and 100,000 to garrison Khuzestan Province.

In other words, the total size of the Prophet's army has now reached 300,000, which is a terrifying number, at least in terms of the number of regular troops, Iran no longer has any advantage, but for such a small place as Basra, the army has exceeded the quota.

It is worth mentioning that in the negotiations with Iran, Iran demanded the release of all prisoners, that is, the 200,000 regular troops recruited by the Prophet's army, but the Prophet categorically refused, making further negotiations deadlocked.

This is simply a great news for the army that has been absorbed, in the past, they have always been oppressed by the Revolutionary Guards, and they are made to carry any black pot, and when they are incorporated into the Prophet's army, they are frightened when they hear that the Prophet's army is no longer fighting and wants Iran to negotiate.

If they were to be exchanged as pawns and finally an agreement was reached, they would have had a miserable fate when they returned to the country, but now the Prophet gave them an explanation, and flatly refused, which was tantamount to telling them that since you follow me, then I will cover you.

This feeling is like the prophet is a black boss, who has adopted the younger brother of the other party's society, and then said that there is wine and meat with me, and he will protect you.

Although it seems a little naïve, it works, especially when these 200,000 Iranian regular troops are incorporated into the Prophet's Army and enjoy the same treatment, their worship of the Prophet is getting deeper and deeper, after all, they are 200,000 numbers, what if there is a rebellion?

They even prepared to be guarded by the Prophet's army, but when they arrived, they found that although the troops of origin were scattered, most of them were scattered according to their skills, strengthened to the original establishment of the Prophet's army, and if they were officers, they would still hold their original positions.

For the Prophet Army, the inclusion of 200,000 may be an act of snake swallowing elephants, but the 200,000 were really swallowed by the Prophet Army.

Although they are about to pay expensive military expenses in the future, this will not affect the combat effectiveness of the Prophet Army at all, but will increase it.

Why? Quite simply, the reason why these Iranian regular troops are not combative is because of a negative sense of combat, which is the same as working under the same boss, this boss is not very wise, and it is okay to leave all the good positions to his relatives, and the boss's relatives make mistakes, and in the end they have to let other employees carry the black pot, which is replaced by any one who has no passion to work, and it is a matter of time before he resigns.

But now they have a boss who treats them well, doesn't nepotism, but gives them positions based on their abilities and tells them that no matter where you come from, you all have the same treatment and the same opportunities as their former employees.

Compare the two, you can know which boss is better, and the enthusiasm of the employees is higher.

Almost all of the incorporated armies are skilled in skills, and compared with them, most of the Prophet Army graduates from primary school in terms of military literacy.

And these incorporated troops are college graduates, and when a large group of college graduates and elementary school graduates are mixed, what will happen?

Complementarity, of course, there may be contradictions, but if there is no contradiction in the army, then it is not called the army, the original troops of the prophet army are inferior in cultural quality, but their advantage is that they are strong-willed and passionate, and such people do everything faster than ordinary people.

And the army that has been incorporated has the advantage of cultural literacy and military skills, so what they can bring to the army of the original prophet is the improvement of these things.

The Prophet Army can bring them enthusiasm and firm will, so that after complementing each other, the cultural literacy of the army will be improved, and the combat effectiveness will naturally be improved.

So the most loss is still the Iranians, and these absorbed troops have no way to retreat, they are tantamount to traitors when they go back, and what awaits them is to be judged, or a great purge.

In fact, for a long time to come, Iran regretted it very much, because this reorganized army, which did not play a combat role in the Iranian army, played an absolute role in Basra's war against the central government, and they proved that they were not weak with practical actions, and were hailed as the sword of Basra.

Of course, these are all later words, and now Canglong is implementing a policy of rest and recuperation against Basra, the central government will not be able to annihilate the Baath Party for a while and a half, Kuwait will not dare to attack, and even often show goodwill, and Iran will finally give in, it is only a matter of time, so Canglong decided to vigorously develop the economy, and the development strategy for the next year will not be a possible war against any region or country.

To put it simply, if people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, but if people offend me, I will offend others.

Vivian is very supportive of this policy, now whether it is the army or the surrounding situation, it will take a long time to run-in, and she even feels that a year is too short.

A month after the end of the war, Basra signed a free trade agreement with Kuwait, whereby Oriental International's grain production in Basra would be exported to Kuwait, and most of Kuwait's goods would be exported to Basra, and at the same time a railway transport agreement was signed between one country and one province.

In the next three years, Basra will build a railway directly to Kuwait, and Kuwait will also build a railway to the border, which will continue Basra's railway through Kuwait and Basra, so as to provide a basis for long-term trade.

At the same time, Vivien ordered the construction of a 1,000-kilometre road in Basra, establishing the entire road transportation network in Basra to connect the cities.

The central government expressed strong dissatisfaction with the series of agreements signed by Basra with neighboring countries, firstly, Basra signed a non-aggression pact with Kuwait without informing the central government, and secondly, it was at war with Iran without the permission of the central government.

And the central government asked the Prophet Army to continue the war with Iran, and the Prophet Army did not bird them, and they were of course very angry.

But in fact, the most infuriating thing is that because Basra occupies the only two ports in Iraq, the central government's oil in the north cannot be shipped at all, and if it were not for the United States and its ally Turkey to negotiate an agreement on oil exports, I am afraid that the central economy would have collapsed.

At this point, Basra was very accommodating, and sent someone to the central government to say, you can use the port here legally, and it is tax-free.

But the central government refused to agree, firstly because it was afraid that Basra would withhold their oil and they would lose a lot of money, and secondly, because it would boost the economy of Basra, and the central government obviously knew that Basra was hostile, and it was only a matter of time before it became an enemy, and it was too dependent on Basra's ports, which would be tantamount to cutting off its own transportation lifeline in the future.

As for Basra, if you don't agree, then you don't agree, and I won't cry and beg you to use my port, but I will save a lot of trouble.

In the second month after the end of the war, Wan Zeliang couldn't wait to see Canglong, because he found that the sanctions imposed on Canglong by the top level did not have much effect at all, and they were relying on their own efforts not only not to collapse the entire system of Basra, but also to build more and more prosperous.

Even Wan Zeliang has to admire the achievements of Basra now, and the free trade with Kuwait has allowed Basra to begin to rise in the Middle East.

It won't be long before all the infrastructure is built and the roads are paved on a large scale, and this will be the fastest growing city in the history of Basra and in the history of the Middle East.

Of course, Wan Zeliang came to see Canglong this time, not only because he saw all this, but also because the domestic high-level saw this, and several members of the Politburo were very dissatisfied with some of the actions of the General Intelligence Bureau.

He was asked to immediately strengthen economic and trade cooperation with Basra, especially in the field of energy, so Wan Zeliang brought a big contract this time.

"According to *****'s instructions, China is willing to carry out normal cooperation with the Pakistani side, including financing the construction of comprehensive infrastructure for the Pakistani side, such as roads, railways, and airports." Wan Zeliang said with a smile.

Canglong was stunned for a moment, smiled and said, "You go to talk to the prophet about this, I'm just a businessman, it's useless to talk to me." ”

Wan Zeliang's face was not good, Canglong was obviously prevaricating, Basra is so big, the construction of railways and highways, they can handle it themselves, China is willing to contribute, although this is a good thing, but there must be some exchange of interests hidden behind it, Canglong will not be so stupid to exchange these.

What's more, Canglong is not the kind of person who imports everything from abroad and buys everything from abroad, he hopes that Basra can develop a set of its own technicians, even in the construction of roads and railways, it may be difficult at first, but at least there is no need to ask for people in the future.

It's really not good to beg for people, Canglong has realized this, if he wasn't tough enough and decisive enough, I'm afraid he would have been restrained by the two big countries now.

"Are we going to say that?" Wan Zeliang said solemnly, "This time I came with enough sincerity. ”

"Oh." Canglong looked at him, not perfunctory, and said with a smile, "What sincerity?" ”

"Full cooperation." Wan Zeliang said.

"Full cooperation?" Canglong was a little surprised, but when he thought of the current Basra, he understood a little, Russia signed a military alliance with Basra, and the weapons and equipment provided, arms orders and so much so that Beijing felt a loss, and so many orders from Nima were given to the Russians for nothing, and they could only watch from the sidelines.

It stands to reason that there should be a share of theirs, but various circumstances have caused them to lose these orders and the opportunity to cooperate.

The only link between Beijing and Basra now may be the oil exploitation of Longteng International.

"The Russians can give Basra a lot of things that you can't, now do you think you can give too?" Canglong said with a smile.

Wan Zeliang frowned, he couldn't answer this, and he didn't have the right to answer: "Go back to Beijing, the head of the central government will give you a satisfactory answer." ”

But this time, Canglong was silent, Wan Zeliang said this, which proves that the above is really determined to move the real character, of course, this real character, is not what to do to him, but to compete with the Russians for the value of Basra, at least they don't want the Russians to monopolize all the interests here.

But if he goes back this time, if the central government gives great sincerity, then it is destined that he will not be able to reject the central government in some aspects, so he will face a big choice, even a risk
