The envoy's sudden arrival in Basra before the attack on Ahvaz can explain why the Iranian army stopped supporting, apparently they had already prepared peace talks before attacking Ahvaz, which is the southwestern gateway of Iran and an economic and military stronghold, and they did not want to lose Ahvaz.

After the clear distinction between friend and foe, the Iranian military decisively believed that even if they supported now, it would be impossible to hold Ahvaz once the war started, after all, without the support of air power, they could only be beaten passively, because the missile battalion in Basra had entered the province of Khuzestan to deploy defenses.

Therefore, before the reinforcements were sent out, they sent an envoy, and if Amer knew that he had no reinforcements at all, he would probably faint to death on the spot.

And the reason why Canglong received the news so late was completely to avoid Vivian, and the black impermanence cut off the contact with the General Headquarters, and the Air Force did not report any news from Vivian, which caused the news that the Iranian envoy had asked for peace talks a few hours ago, and Canglong received it a few hours later.

Canglong handed over the command of the battlefield to Akram and took Amer and a group of high-ranking generals of the Revolutionary Guards back to Basra.

From the previous battle, Canglong has learned about Akram's ability, as long as he is given a chance, he will be an excellent general in the future, Canglong doesn't care that he is Iraqi, what he cares about is how capable he is, as for the issue of loyalty? This one doesn't seem to be a cause for concern, because he is a prophet.

So let him guard Ahvaz, even if he goes back to negotiate and the Iranian army counterattacks, he can hold it.

The reason why Canglong is so relieved to go back is because the person who came to negotiate is Ali Daiyi, this time he came with a special envoy, for this old friend, Canglong naturally wants to meet, but whether the battle will stop or not, whether to withdraw the army or not, it is not up to the relationship of friends to decide.

At the Basra International Hotel, Ali Daei is anxiously waiting for the return of the dragon, this sudden war has caught Iran's conservative forces off guard, they originally thought that sending the navy to Basra's territorial waters to provoke and exert some pressure, but forced Basra to give in and become their strategic rear.

But they never expected that it was precisely because of this provocation that the Basra Coast Guard was angered, and less than half an hour after the collision, the news reached the military headquarters and was learned by the top brass.

But the conservatives were blindly optimistic, and they even clamored for Basra to show a little color, or he would not recognize who he was his neighbor with.

The clamor is always a shout, just staying on the lips, and not taking actual action, they think that the ramming of the Basra Coast Guard is just a weak counterattack, not to mention that their warship is not silent, so they don't plan to do anything, and they don't even send a note symbolically.

However, surprising things happened, starting with the sinking of five ships that had violated the waters off Basra by the Basra Air Force and the simultaneous air raid on the Iranian military port of Ayatollah Khomeini.

This angered Iran, but at this time Iran was in a quarrel, one said that he wanted to take revenge on Basra, the other said that he could not retaliate, and while they were arguing, accompanied by air raids, the Prophet's army had launched a full-scale war against them, and in one day it reached the vicinity of Ahvaz, the capital of Khuzestan province.

When Iran got the news, all the voices of the quarrel were gone, they were shocked, they were shocked by the little Basra, a small Iraqi province, sending an air force to attack them, it was enough to shake them, and now they actually sent troops to invade them.

If the Prophet's army hadn't hit Ahvaz, if they hadn't been so fast, or if they had added an if, Iran wouldn't have been so shocked.

But there are no ifs in the war, and when Amer asks for help, they realize that this is a Basra that can threaten them, and surpass them in some forces, that this is not a small province, but a national power that can challenge them, even though he is not yet a state on the surface, and has not broken away from the incompetent central government of Iraq.

Now they have to make a choice, is it support? Or peace talks.

As soon as this latter opinion appeared in the selection, almost all conservative hardliners slapped the table and glared at them, how could they negotiate with them? To beat, to drive them out, but also to Basra, to beat them, to beat them, to catch the false prophet and shoot them.

Conservative moderates, on the other hand, argue that Basra has the strength to compete with some parts of Iran, and that Iran no longer has the so-called maritime superiority in the southwest after losing the navy in the port of Khomeini, and that the air force at the fourth air base has also been disabled.

If forces are brought in from other regions, what about other regions? Their worst enemies are not Basra, but the United States and Israel, and they are persecuted because they want Basra to give in and negotiate with them, and Basra is also holding the Americans back to some extent.

In the end, the voice of the conservative moderates, overshadowing the conservative hardliners, decided to send an envoy, so who did they send? The Supreme Leader of the Conservatives has personally chosen one person, and this is Ali Daei, who also belongs to the figure of the conservative moderates.

But they could not have imagined that by the time they sent their envoy and arrived in Basra, the dragon was already preparing to attack Ahvaz.

When Canglong returned to Basra and came to the International Hotel non-stop, Ali Daei had not yet received the news of the capture of Ahvaz, and he smiled and said: "My friend, you have finally returned, and I have brought the news of the peace talks, and Iran is not an enemy of Basra from now on, nor will it be an enemy of Basra." ”

"Thank you so much for bringing this news." Canglong smiled and said, "But I feel that as a friend, I shouldn't lie to you, so I need to let you meet someone." ”

Canglong signaled, and then Amer was brought in, when Alidaii saw Amer, his face changed completely, he didn't think that the major general of the Revolutionary Guards in the southwest was invited by Canglong to drink tea, you must know that before the results of the negotiation came out, the two sides were still in a state of opposition.

And the people of the special envoy were also talking, and they wondered why Amer was here, and not Ahvaz.

Alidaii understood, his face changed completely, and after shutting everyone up, he looked at Canglong seriously and asked, "Have you already captured Ahvash?" ”

"This is a question that would be more appropriate for Major Admiral to answer." Canglong smiled and looked at the major general beside him.

Amer lowered his head, not daring to look at Alidaei, and finally said with a sad face: "I'm sorry, I have failed the leader's cultivation and expectations. ”

This sentence told everyone in the special mission that the major general, who was now standing in front of them, was already a prisoner.

Ali Daei sat back on the stool, and the officials of Basra were all excited, the army's victory was tantamount to increasing their bargaining chips, and now the army is not just a big victory, but a special victory, capturing the capital of Khuzestan province, which means that in the future, the Prophet's army can be attacked and defended.

They don't ask to be in the middle either, anyway, I stand in this strategic place, and from time to time send troops to provoke you, if you want to fight me, you have to pay a heavy price, and if you want to recapture this place, it depends on whether you are willing to pay a heavy price.

As for Ali Daei, this is a fiasco that has never been seen in the Iran-Iraq war, and in the Iran-Iraq war, they have not lost a single province, except for being suppressed by Iraq at the beginning of the war, and in the middle of the war, they completely counter-pressed Iraq.

The eight-year Iran-Iraq war was only a war of attrition, and a large-scale occupation did not appear at all, but now overnight, Basra has captured the capital of Khuzestan province.

But Iran has overlooked a crucial factor: unlike Basra, which used to do so, Canglong is not Saddam.

This war is fully prepared and understands the strength of Iran, and the international situation that Iran is facing now is not the international situation that Iran faced in the eighties.

Looking at the surprise on the faces of the Iranian envoys, the Basra officials smiled, and of course they were happy that the field that could not be recovered during the Iran-Iraq war had finally been recovered.

Ahvaz lost, and the situation of this negotiation was about to change completely, but Ali Daei still understood his mission, and he did not leave angrily, because it was useless to leave, they were completely at a strategic disadvantage, and if they wanted to recapture Ahvaz, they would have to pay several times the price of their previous losses.

This is something that Iran is unwilling to bear, so there is another way, negotiations.

"I protest against your attacks during negotiations." Before Alidaii could speak, there was a person who couldn't help it, a senior central official in Iran.

As soon as these words came out, without Canglong speaking, Chiram immediately said: "When the two sides have not formally negotiated, the war is not over, even if the negotiation results are not clearly stipulated, the military operation cannot be stopped, if during the negotiation, you reinforce Ahvaz, wouldn't all the strategic advantages we have previously achieved be lost?" ”

Iranian officials were furious and were about to refute it, but they were suppressed by Ali Daei, and it was pointless to fight such a war of words, and now the most important thing was to end the war and demand that Basra withdraw its troops.

"We admit that the war was caused by our misdeeds, but Basra has caused great damage to our homeland, and it is time to withdraw our troops, right?" Alidaii looked at the dragon, he knew that only his friend could fight for an advantageous position here, and it didn't matter what the others said.

"If a war is just a loss exchange and then the troops are withdrawn, is it still called a war? Have you ever considered how we felt when our fishermen were captured and slaughtered? Have you considered the invasion of Basra and the huge casualties caused by the shelling of the port of Basra? "You haven't thought about it, but we all keep it in our hearts, at least our army entered your territory and didn't massacre innocent people." ”

Iranian officials have nothing to say, now they are the weak party, they have no confidence to negotiate at all, the war is because they provoked it, and the negotiations are also their demands, what qualifications can they put forward?

Alidai looked at Canglong cheekily, now he can only ask Canglong for help, but Canglong smiled and said: "I agree with Governor Chiram's opinion, if I shoot you in the head and then give you some compensation, I am saying sorry, can you accept it?" ”

It's over, it's completely over, Alidai knows the character of this friend very well, and will either not beat you, or he will defeat you.

Now unless Iran convinces and admits defeat, there is no possibility of negotiation, and without this premise, Canglong will not negotiate with them at all.

But after eight years of fighting the Iran-Iraq war, is Iran convinced? No, Iran will not give in, absolutely not
