Chapter 161, Infighting

Canglong made it clear that it could be dangerous to go to the central provinces to extract oil, and even their partners, Rosneft, were reluctant to go.

Now Longteng International's business in Basra has been very rapid, from the two super oil fields in Basra, to a series of small oil fields have output, with the support of strong technical equipment, now the entire Basra oil output has exceeded 3.5 million barrels per day, is hitting 4 million barrels.

This does not include the output of the occupied province of Khuzestan province, and that data is officially confidential in Basra, and in theory Iran and Basra are still at war, so the oil extracted from Khuzestan province cannot be published, and it is impossible to take advantage of others, and they are shouting that I have taken advantage of others, right?

So, in all respects, Longteng International's business in Iraq has reached the highest level in history, and with the preferential export policy, most of the oil extracted is sold to China, and only a small part is sold to Russia or other Asian countries.

No matter what you think about, no one wants to take a huge risk to enter the war zone to extract oil, especially because of the policy implemented by Canglong when he first came to Iraq, in order to extract oil, it is necessary to stabilize the environment, so as to minimize the cost of extraction.

Dragon International has now pursued this policy in Iraq because it has succeeded, and although Basra has been fighting, it has rarely affected their oil fields.

After being silent for a long time, Yellen, as the director, spoke: "President, I think it is a bit hasty to enter the central provinces to extract oil now, with our current technical strength, we can quickly build an oil platform, but our manpower is insufficient, especially in terms of technical workers." ”

Mr. Liang also spoke: "Director Ye is right, the risk of extracting oil in the war zone is huge, which will increase additional losses and costs, in case the war situation is unstable, we will suffer huge losses, just like the first battle between the Prophet Army and Iran in Khuzestan, the Iranian oil company will suffer huge losses, and all the equipment will be"

As a result, the conference room fell into an embarrassing situation, but at this moment, Chief Engineer Yang, who had a hot temper, suddenly said: "Didn't we do this before?" Where in the Middle East is it safe? Although the oil in the central provinces is not as huge as Basra, it is better than the quantity, and if it can be extracted and exported to the country, it will greatly reduce the price of domestic oil, and we should go to it from any point of view. ”

Everyone looked at the hot-tempered Yang Gong and didn't speak, and they couldn't even afford to provoke the chief engineer who didn't even care about the president.

The meeting reached a stalemate for a moment, and at this moment, Yellen suddenly said, "Will the Prophet Army send troops to protect it?" ”

Everyone turned their attention to Canglong again, and Canglong was silent for a while and said: "The general defense force is composed of the coalition army, but the Prophet Army will send the basic defense force into the oil field, but it cannot rely too much on the basic defense force, as for the loss, this is not to worry, all the losses caused by the war in the war zone will be paid by the Basra government." ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, it was obvious that Canglong had made a decision, and the meeting was just to obtain their approval, even if they did not agree, this decision must be implemented, plus with the support of Yang Gong, they had no objections.

But Yellen still said: "I think this matter should be agreed by the domestic headquarters." ”

"HQ agrees?" Yang Gong sneered, "The presidents are all here, what else do you need to agree with the bullshit headquarters, since the president ordered us to do it, when Lao Tzu was in Daqing, there was nothing, and it was not the same to get the oil out?" When Basra didn't have such a stable environment, weren't we still extracting oil? You people are just too comfortable. ”

Yang Gong directly dismissed Ye Lun in silence, but Canglong smiled, he felt that he liked Yang Gong's fiery temper more and more.

"Then let's decide so, soon Basra will organize the Prophet Volunteers to go to the central provinces, you guys prepare, organize an engineering team, willing to go to the central provinces to extract oil, whether Iraqis or Chinese, all double salaries, double allowances." Canglong has the final word.

After all, there are not many Chinese workers, and most of them are skilled workers, so many locals are needed to join.

After the meeting, Canglong rushed to the headquarters and explained the idea of sending volunteers to Basra, but who would be the commander of this unit was a huge question.

As the commander-in-chief, Badr will definitely not be able to go, and in the command level, Bai Wuchang and Xiami are the commanders of the main defense and offensive forces in Basra, and it is impossible to serve as the commander of this force, among these people, the snow leopard is the most suitable, and his special operations brigade is also the most suitable unit.

But after all, the snow leopard has a yellow-skinned face, and his direct involvement in the war in the central provinces will bring huge trouble to China, so he himself is willing to go, but the actual situation does not allow it.

Black Impermanence is a very good candidate, but compared to rulers like Hussein and Sadr, Black Impermanence is too simple, he is a good general, but he is not a conspirator, and in the end, there is no better candidate.

But Canglong set his sights on another person, this person is Akram, who served as the staff officer of the field division of the Prophet's Army, in the war against Iran, he cooperated with the black impermanence very well, and this person also has the talent of a conspirator.

But when Canglong brought Akram up, everyone was silent, almost everyone knew Akram's talent, but this person had one biggest shortcoming, ambition.

"I don't think he's suitable, he's too conceited, he's pressed by Lao Hei, and he's not so blind that he doesn't have anyone in his sights, but once he leaves the Prophet Army and becomes the commander of the Volunteer Army, it's hard to say what will happen." Badr said with a solemn face.

If this sentence came from the mouth of Xiami, perhaps everyone took it for granted, after all, after the formation of a huge scale of the Prophet Army, there were also factions, including the local faction led by Badr, and the Chinese faction led by Snow Leopard and Xiami.

Relatively speaking, Badr's local faction is weak, and although he has promoted many generals, Snow Leopard and Shrimp have a vital control.

The most important thing is that if the local faction does not have the support of Canglong, it will not be able to form a force at all, because the people all believe in Canglong, the prophet, and as for the two main forces of black impermanence and white impermanence, they only listen to Canglong, and Bai impermanence is good to say, black impermanence is definitely a diehard loyalist of Canglong.

So far, the main commanders of the Prophet's Army have been loyal to the Dragon, and in the struggle between the two factions, Badr is also at a disadvantage, and the only militia and coast guard under his control cannot compete with the regular forces.

But the appearance of Akram may break the deadlock, the main reason is because Akram is a native, and he is the chief of staff of the field division, the second person in addition to Black Impermanence, if he can rise, it will definitely allow the local faction to occupy a more advantageous position.

There is also Aziz of the Air Force, who is also the number two person in addition to Bai Wuchang, as long as he can control these two major forces, even if he can't install missile troops, Badr can at least balance the forces of the Chinese faction.

But now that Akram has a chance, Canglong obviously wants to promote Akram, but Badr is against it, which is somewhat unexpected.

Canglong asked, "Who does General Badr think is the best to send?" ”

"I think General Black is the best candidate." Badr said directly, "His ability is recognized, and he is good at fighting tough battles, dealing with the security forces supported by the US military, we can't be intimidated, once instigated, our prophet army may face the US military in the future, and there will be huge psychological pressure." ”

In this way, everyone understands what this means, as soon as the black impermanence leaves, the commander of the field division and the absolute main force of the Prophet Army, may fall into the hands of Akram, and then they can insert their own people into it as much as they want.

At this moment, Shrimp suddenly spoke: "I also think that General Hei is a good candidate, but after he left, the division commander of the field division was vacant, although we are not engaged in a large-scale war now, but the commander of the main force is vacant, it doesn't seem to be a good thing." ”

Badr said with a smile: "Just let the chief of staff of the field division, Akram, take his place." ”

"But I have a better candidate in addition, this person is Shen Wansan, who is currently the head of the Weapons Development Department of the Prophet Army." As he spoke, the snow leopard looked at Canglong, as if he wanted to get Canglong's consent.

At the same time, Badr also looked at Canglong, both parties didn't seem to understand that Canglong didn't want Hei Wuchang to leave, because he was not a conspirator, but the current situation Canglong couldn't see clearly? As soon as the war ended, the struggle between the factions began.

But this is something that Canglong can't stop, there will be such a fight in any army, people are such animals with interests, not to mention that Badr and the shrimp from the Chinese side do have different cultural differences, which creates a huge estrangement force.

In wartime, everyone has a common enemy, and this estrangement can be bridged, but after the war is over, the estrangement appears.

But this time Canglong didn't firm up his decision, since you like to fight, then fight, I'm adding a fire to you.

"Okay, I appointed Lao Hei as the commander of the dispatch army, Akram temporarily as the commander of the field division, Shen Wansan is still in his original position, and no one wants to draw people from the general weapons research and development department." Canglong said coldly, "Let's dismiss." ”

Before they could speak, Canglong immediately left, and Badr smiled, but the faces of Xiami and Snow Leopard were a little ugly, and they didn't understand why Canglong made such a decision
