Chapter 007, Independence
In desperation, Xiami could only leave the command, and at this time the situation was basically under control, Xiami quickly took back the command of the missile troops, and announced by radio to the whole Basra and Khuzestan provinces, except for the garrison and armored brigades, all the troops belonged to you, if they did not rush back to the garrison within the scheduled time, they would be regarded as mutiny.
At the same time, Shrimp announced on the radio that Badr and others were rebellious, informing the prophet that he had not been held hostage, and the chaotic situation was completely over, and the coup d'Γ©tat, which lasted less than two days, ended from the founding ceremony to the present, and then Canglong finally appeared and issued an order in the name of the prophet on radio and television, which made people who still had dissent completely dispel their thoughts.
Returning from the aircraft carrier to the General Headquarters, Canglong immediately convened a military meeting, at this time almost most of the high-ranking officials were arrested, and in the Prophet's army, except for Badr and Akram, only a small number of officers participated in the coup, and many more were also bewitched.
Looking at the people in the conference room, Canglong smiled helplessly, he originally wanted to promote the locals, but he didn't expect them to be so different, but Canglong did not give up the plan to promote the locals, at least the two senior generals Aziz and the deputy commander of the Navy Commander insisted consistently.
"Now that the internal troubles have been solved, let's talk about the external troubles, what were the movements of the surrounding forces when the coup d'Γ©tat occurred?" Canglong asked.
"The Americans launched a new round of attacks on the coalition forces, but they were all repelled by Simon, the American forces in Kuwait did not move, and Iran did not react." Su Su said.
At this time, everyone present looked at Su Su differently, especially Aziz and Abulahi, they didn't expect that Su Su, who was the most inconspicuous on weekdays, was the real killer.
"So Kuwait and Iran are both settled." Canglong said calmly, he originally wanted to use this coup to do more things, try the hearts of Kuwait and Iran, but he was disappointed, the two countries were scared by him, and there was no more movement.
A few people listened to Canglong's meaning, but they were speechless, they realized at this time that the prophet wanted to do too much, and the self-righteous Akram did not expect that he was always just a pawn played by the prophet.
"Kuwait now has economic cooperation with us, the development of the two countries in various fields, laid a certain foundation, it will not be long before Basra and Kuwait will become the most active economies in the entire Middle East, there is such a premise, the timid king, even if you want to pick up the bargain, it is impossible, not to mention that he is afraid of you, from a certain point of view, he is still looking forward to you to stabilize Iraq, because although you are not a good neighbor, but at least not bad." Vivien said calmly.
From the coup d'Γ©tat to the present, they can sit in the provincial government and fight the landlords, and they have already guessed Canglong's plan, so they are not worried, and even in Bai Wuchang's eyes, Canglong is just to pretend to be B, and then by the way, those who are ready to plot against him, or those who have begun to plot against him, are all in the net.
"So, have we had nothing to do so far?" Canglong said strangely, "What do our foreign media friends say about this incident?" β
Several people heard it, Canglong seemed to want to find something to do, as for who to find? That is, of course, the business of the Americans, the business of the central government.
"The reaction is not very strong, everyone knows that our Prophet Army is not independent on the surface, in fact, it has long been independent, but they didn't expect that you actually gave them a good show, and within two days, almost all the coups in the interior were arrested, and the situation was stabilized." Vivien said, "It makes them even more speechless." β
"No." Canglong felt itching in the bottom of his heart, "I have to find an excuse." β
Everyone understood that Canglong meant to find an excuse to start a war with the central government, but at this moment, Vivien said: "You better deal with the matter in front of you first, now more than half of the senior administrative officials in Basra are in prison, if you don't solve it, I'm afraid there will be no one to help you manage Basra, my prophet." β
Canglong was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you think?" β
The shrimp didn't speak, the snow leopard looked at Bai Wuchang, and Bai Wuchang looked at Vivian, Vivian finally looked at Hei Wuchang, and Hei Wuchang smiled, but still didn't speak, and in the end only Aziz and Aboreshi were left, and the high-level of the Chinese faction didn't speak, meaning to let them deal with it.
After all, they are native Iraqis, and it is best for them to decide, but Aziz and Abulahi are surprisingly calm and say in unison: "We have no objection to what the Prophet should do, and we will not intercede for these traitors who have ruined the harmony of Basra." β
"Then," Canglong groaned.
But at this moment, Vivian suddenly said: "My esteemed prophet, if you want to start a war, then you must release most of their people, at least Assad and Chiram must be released, because they represent Shia and Sunni respectively, which can not only show the prophet your magnanimity, but also make Basra more stable, and the most important thing is the comments of the foreign media, if you kill them, it will only make people think that you are an executioner." β
"That's right." Canglong thought for a moment, "Without them, Basra really wouldn't work?" β
"At least for a short time, there will be a lot of confusion in our administration." Vivien reminded that "although it may be restored in the future, in the event of a war, it may not be possible to supply the logistics of the troops." β
"Oh." Canglong was silent, everyone looked at him, except for Vivian, no one would talk much to make suggestions, about half an hour, Canglong suddenly spoke, "I think about it." β
"Then ask the Prophet to give the order." Vivien said.
"Kill them all." Canglong said coldly, "Hanging!" β
In a word, everyone present was stunned, but soon they all reacted, this is the Canglong style, not threatened by anyone, Akram expected at least one thing, Canglong will not care about their next use value, because Canglong has a decisive and ruthless code of conduct.
Vivian didn't expect that she had said so much, and it would become nonsense in Canglong's eyes, and I am afraid that the symbolic half-hour consideration was just for her to see.
"I think it's going to have huge bad consequences for Basra, for you." Vivien dissuaded.
"Huh." Canglong sneered, "There is no one in this world who is irreplaceable, especially such mutineers, I am not thin on them, if you want to count their crimes, you can go to the archives of the Intelligence Agency to check it, and take out one at will, it is enough to kill, but I turn a blind eye, why?" Because they are useful to Basra; People make mistakes sometimes, but they make mistakes and have to change, but they get worse, and finally ride on your head to and pee, for such people, even if you keep them, it is useless, killing them, but can serve as a wake-up call to the world. β
After saying that, Canglong stood up and walked to the door, but Vivien still didn't give up: "Don't you think about yourself?" Are you going to be a butcher? β
"If becoming a butcher can bring happiness to this newly established country, then I will be a butcher." After Canglong finished speaking, he strode away.
The people in the conference room also dispersed, and at this time, in Basra and the occupied province of Khuzestan, Basra Radio and Television reported that all the mutineers would be hanged the day before the parliamentary elections, in front of the former provincial government, which is now the parliament building.
As soon as the news appeared, there was not much opposition in Basra, on the contrary, the populace was more supportive of the Prophet's decision, both Shiites and local Sunnis, all took to the streets, celebrating the establishment of the state and the purge of traitors.
As a matter of course, the foreign media gave Canglong the name of a butcher, some said that he was purging political enemies and engaging in a personality cult, and some even said that he was the next Hitler.
Canglong didn't bother to look at these evaluations, and in the days since the establishment of the state, all the officials have been reappointed, most of them are the first batch of young people who graduated from Basra University, and these people have been transferred to various positions, filling all the gaps in an instant.
At the same time, the Prophet's Army was reorganized and expanded, of course, this expansion was not an expansion of the number of people, but an expansion of the number, and the establishment of the General Staff as the supreme military command body, under the supervision of the Basra Revolutionary Committee, and this member of the Basra Revolutionary Committee was temporarily the only one Canglong.
For the time being, the Chief of the General Staff is concurrently held by Canglong himself, and the Deputy Chief of the General Staff is Muhammad (Black Impermanence), the Snow Leopard, the Shrimp, and Gorky (White Impermanence).
At the same time, the missile force was changed to the Territorial Air Defense Force, and a separate command was set up, with seven air defense divisions and 21 missile brigades under its command, with Xiami as the commander, and the Air Force remained unchanged, with four fighter squadrons, one bomber squadron, and 125 combat aircraft, with Bai Wuchang as commander and Aziz as deputy commander.
The Special Operations Brigade, changed to the Special Operations Command, is still commanded by Snow Leopard, with two Special Operations Brigades and two C-130 transport aircraft.
The field division, changed to the revolutionary army, has two group armies, namely the first group army and the second group army, with a total number of 200,000 people, each group army is equipped with a heavy artillery division, a heavy armored division, and five field divisions, and the revolutionary army is headed by Hei Wuchang.
The combined naval fleet is still commanded by Abreshi and serves as a liaison officer with the Russian Navy.
Since then, Basra has entered the sequence of a single country, both militarily and administratively, and has been separated from the central government.
The day before the executive election, Canglong personally appointed Vivian as the transitional prime minister of southern Iraq, and when the two parties are formed and the prime minister is elected, Vivian will step down.
In less than five days, everything entered the order of a country, and at the same time, there was a lot of hype in various countries, and the Western countries led by the United States directly condemned independence as dividing Iraq and provoking a new round of war.
The Russian president, on the other hand, personally issued a statement expressing the hope that southern Iraq would complete the cause of reunification as soon as possible and recognize southern Iraq as an independent regime and state.
At the same time, Iran also issued a statement recognizing southern Iraq as the real Iraqi regime and the northern Iraqi regime as a puppet regime of the United States, and hoped that the Americans would withdraw from Iraq as soon as possible.
Even the king of Kuwait issued a statement, in which, although he did not say he supported or opposed it, he said that he would maintain close economic cooperation with southern Iraq.
As for China's statement, it is simpler, supporting a regime that can bring happiness to the people and opposing all puppet governments
