Chapter 159, Volunteer Army

Simon didn't have time to persuade, Hei Wuchang had already gone out with a knife and carrying a bloody Faisam, and about a few minutes later, Hei Wuchang came back with a bloody knife and looked at Simon without suspicion of kindness and asked, "Head, who else are you going to cut?" ”

At that time, Simon couldn't help but shudder, and Canglong smiled and said, "Deal with this place and go back to work." ”

After speaking, he said to Simon again: "I'm sorry, I can't help but cut you alone, I think we should negotiate in another place." ”

Simon was helpless, nodded but didn't say anything, and then they came to another clean conference room, this time Su Su was not there, only Canglong and Simon.

Strangely, both of them remained silent, as if they were waiting for the other to speak first, and finally Simon couldn't help but speak first: "It's very difficult for me to go back by doing this." ”

"You don't have to be embarrassed, just tell Hussein that I killed the person, and it's okay for him to come to me to settle accounts, but he has to weigh whether he has the capital first." Canglong smiled and said, "If you are really afraid of being embarrassed, then don't go back at all, stay in Basra, and I will make you the deputy commander of the Prophet Army." ”

Simon was stunned for a moment, although this condition was very tempting, he shook his head: "Prophet, don't laugh, since I have brought the troops back from Iran, then I will be responsible for them to the end." ”

Canglong likes Simon's firmness in his bones: "What if the alliance army is defeated? Not to mention that it is impossible to lose, even if I fully support you, it is only a matter of time before I fail. ”

Simon was stunned for a moment, but avoided answering: "Then wait for the day when we really lose, can we talk about this issue?" ”

Canglong smiled, he really wanted to keep Simon here this time, but he couldn't force it, using a hard way on Simon would only have the opposite effect, and Simon would not eat soft unless he was willing.

"Since you are so determined, then I can only reluctantly let you go." Canglong shook his head, making no secret of his love for Simon, "But the door of the Prophet Army is always open for you. ”

Simon smiled and said nothing, and was silent for a few seconds before saying: "I finally understand why you can dictate here, but convince everyone of you, you use violence, but violence is used in places that are convincing enough, not violence for no reason." ”

"Passing the prize." Canglong said calmly, "Since there are no flies on the side, let's talk about the next cooperation." ”

Simon sighed in his heart, if Fersham knew that in the eyes of the prophet, he was a noisy fly, I don't know what his expression would be, but after all, he paid the price for his self-righteousness, and the price of his life.

"Our biggest supporters, Iran, has been beaten by the Prophet's army, and now they are too busy to take care of themselves, so I hope that the Prophet will consider taking the place of Iran and providing us with logistical support and weapons support." Simon said calmly, "Although Fersam is arrogant, he at least said one thing correctly, we are still a barrier to Basra, and the longer we support it, the better it will be for Basra." ”

The same words came out of Simon's mouth, and Canglong felt very pleasant, as for the self-righteous Fersam, Canglong was really speechless to him, in fact, he didn't have any anger in his heart, no matter how ugly Fersam said, because he couldn't be irritable because a fly was noisy around him, there were many flies in the world, and one was killed and a swarm was swarmed.

As a leader, you have to learn to let your heart tolerate certain nasty things, such as Fersam, of course, the reason why you want to kill Fersam is actually for a purpose, because he wants to tell Hussein, I support you, not unconditionally, and also tell them not to be too self-conscious.

After a few seconds of silence, Canglong said: "I can provide you with better weapons than Iran, but you should also know that Basra cannot provide you with free supplies and help as before, since we can replace Iran, then we must give the benefits to Iran to Basra." ”

Simon was stunned, he knew that Canglong wanted oil from the central provinces, in fact, without the support of Iran, they couldn't ship the oil out, and looking around, it seemed that they had no better choice than Basra, of course he wouldn't be stupid enough to use the so-called common cause, the so-called national righteousness to persuade Canglong.

From a certain point of view, being able to stand in their position, although they are always full of national righteousness, is all said to the common people, those who work for them, and when they stand in their position, they are all talking about interests.

"Within the area controlled by the Union forces, we can give you all the oil." "But in terms of price, I hope you don't pull it too low." ”

"Of course." Canglong said with a smile, "We can even provide you with a full set of technical equipment and resume the production of the oil fields, and the support for you must be exchanged for the same amount of oil, oil is your dollars, how much oil is extracted, how many guns I will provide you." ”

"No, we don't just want guns, I know you have access to Russian-made weapons, we need more heavy firepower equipment, in the face of the security forces and the U.S. military, if we only have light weapons, sooner or later we will lose more and more control areas." Simon said solemnly, "So we need weapons that are as advanced as the Prophet Army. ”

"Impossible." Canglong almost didn't think about it, so he directly refused, "The reason is very simple, we can't openly intervene in the conflict between the central provinces and the central government, and secondly, because we can't directly supply weapons to you without the permission of the Russians, which is against the agreement." ”

"Huh." Simon smiled, "Don't be funny, prophet, the agreement isn't really important, is it?" For example, if a Russian aircraft carrier enters the port of Basra, I believe that this aircraft carrier should not leave, right? The Russians are already fully supporting Basra, why is the Prophet not willing to support us with all his might? After all, our common enemy is the Americans. ”

Simon is much smarter than Canglong imagined, these are definitely not obtained from intelligence, but Simon guessed, the terrible thing is that he guessed all right, he doesn't care about the agreement of the Russians at all, he is actually worried about fattening the Baath Party, and finally arguing with himself in turn.

This possibility is very high, in case the Baath Party does not play and has a negotiation with the Central Committee, then he will be tantamount to a meat bun beating a dog and there is no return, don't look at the life and death of the two sides of them now, but in fact, driven by interests, it is not impossible to become friends.

"Look at it." Canglong suggested, "We will provide you with Russian weapons imitated in the military factory, including large weapons, of course, I can't give you the S-300 such a large anti-aircraft missile, but we can provide you with some, self-developed anti-aircraft artillery, a full set of Russian technology, although you need heavy weapons, but I think that under the strong offensive of the security forces packaged by the US military, air defense weapons like the S-300 do not form a scale and can play a limited role, so you should continue to fight guerrilla warfare." , to fight guerrilla warfare with the central government with advanced weapons. ”

"Self-developed?" Simon was taken aback, "A full set of Russian technology? Do you mean to say that all the weapons you get are licensed for production and have technology? ”

"Of course, although Basra's current military production capacity is not enough to support the entire Prophet Army, if I support you, I think it is more than enough, believe them, these weapons will definitely not be worse than the ones made by Russia itself." Canglong said calmly.

But Simon was stunned, he looked at Canglong and couldn't believe it, he didn't know how Canglong got these things from the miserly Russians, but he knew that this was perhaps the most unique thing about Canglong, Hussein couldn't compare, and even the previous President Saddam Hussein couldn't compare, because they weren't diplomats, and Canglong was probably an excellent diplomat, otherwise how could he deal with the Russians?

"If you're still not at ease, I can take you on a tour of our arsenal." Canglong said.

"No, I trust you." Simon let out a long breath, "Trust Basra too, maybe this is where Iraq's real hope lies, maybe." ”

"I can't guarantee that I'll be able to unify Iraq, but at least I can guarantee that during my reign, I'll make sure that all the people here will have food and clothing to live without worry." Canglong said calmly.

Although this is just a small guarantee, Simon was moved, he has seen many leaders, they always give the people almost unattainable ideals and wishes, what they say is good, but almost never realized, but the guarantee that Canglong gave him is from the most basic, under his rule, the people at least have no worries about food and clothing.

Such a simple wish was what the people needed most, so he was moved, because Canglong was not empty words, because he did it, although only in Basra.

"And what was your final decision?" Canglong asked suddenly.

"Do you still need to ask? What reason do I have to turn down such a good opportunity to work together? Simon laughed.

"In view of your cheerfulness, I am willing to secretly select volunteers from within the Prophet Army on the original basis and go to the central provinces to help you fight." Canglong said, suddenly becoming serious, "But I want you to reassure me that they won't be used as cannon fodder." ”

Simon was stunned for a moment, thought for a long time, looked at Canglong a few more times, and finally said, "Are you preparing for a future war?" ”

"Sort of." Canglong nodded, "Since you are doomed, why don't I prepare early?" The U.S. military has always been a big mountain for the Iraqis, and the Iraqi troops they fought were incomplete, and this kind of pressure existed even in the Prophetic Army, so I hope to send them to familiarize themselves with the tactics of the U.S. military and get in touch with the U.S. military as soon as possible. ”

"And how many people are there in this unit called the Volunteer Army?" Simon asked.

"The tentative quota is 1,000 people, and there is a rotation once a month." Canglong said.

Simon understood what Canglong meant, the rotation of 1,000 people a month is nothing to the current scale of the Prophet Army's 300,000 people, but as long as these 1,000 people return to Basra alive, it will have an immeasurable effect on the Prophet Army, at least in the future, when they really face the US army, there will not be too much psychological pressure.

"I can personally promise you, and I can promise you that I will not use them as cannon fodder, just for the sake of Iraq's future." Simon nodded solemnly, "Even if Hussein disagrees." ”
