Chapter 141, Natasha's worries

Since they did not give in, there was no possibility of continuing the talks, and the senior Iranian officials left the scene angrily, but they did not leave Basra, because the negotiations would take place sooner or later, and they believed that as long as the Iranian army pressed the border, Basra would naturally give in, and the Prophet's army just took advantage of the surprise attack, and they believed that the Revolutionary Guards could counterattack back and threaten Basra.

But they didn't know that the Prophet's army, which had already established a foothold in Khuzestan Province, was not so easy to deal with, and as for Ali Daei, it was not convenient for him to talk to Canglong in front of conservative hardliners, so he went directly to the Iranian consulate in Basra, and the consulate immediately reported the news, and then began to wait.

But they didn't know that at this time, Canglong was looking at the battle report on the front line, and Hei Wuchang did not disappoint him, the main force of the field division had advanced to Dizful, and occupied the airfield of the 4th Iranian air base, where Hei Wuchang did not encounter much resistance.

Since then, the Prophet Army has completed the control of the entire Iranian province of Khuzestan Province, all strategic points and points are under the control of the Prophet Army, in order to further consolidate the occupation in the province of Khuzestan Province, Canglong sent another 100,000 militia of 200,000 in the country.

And to complete this, it took them less than two days, except for the logistics supply and the replenishment of troops could not keep up, the war was almost a complete victory.

However, at this time, the hardliners of the Iranian envoy still had the idea of fighting Basra to the death, but they never expected that the domestic news they were waiting for would continue to negotiate, and the reason was simple: they had lost the last strategic point, Dizful, and the Basra air force had begun to move in.

The only advantage they still had was at sea, and they had no good chance of winning either from the interior or from the air against Dyzfuller, unless they were willing to pay a heavy price to continue the battle with the Prophet's army in the face of extremely unfavorable terrain.

Especially after learning the lessons of the Iran-Iraq war, the country's conservative moderates are staunchly anti-war, knowing full well that they will not do them any good by confronting the powerful Basra, which also has enough oil to support the war, and whose weapons are in some ways much more advanced than most of Iran's older weapons.

The most critical point is that the war with Basra will only get the Americans, and now the Baath Party is in jeopardy, and once the central government in Iraq eliminates the Baath Party, it may be Basra next.

Both conservative hardliners and conservative moderates know very well that the central government's destruction of Babath is tantamount to the United States regaining control of the whole of Iraq, so that there are US troops in Afghanistan in the east, US troops in Iraq in the west, and the US Navy's Fifth Fleet in the Persian Gulf, which has almost completed the triple sandwich against Iran.

In the north, the Russians have not been very friendly to them, as evidenced by the restrictions on arms exports to Iran over the years, and if they continue to do so, they will face embattlement.

So in a sense, Basra, which is now in full swing with them, should be their partner strategically.

But at first, Iran felt that it was enough for them to support the Baath Party, and that as long as the Baath Party could rise in Iraq and sweep away the central government, Basra would not be a problem.

But it is a pity that the Baath Party is as weak as before, and with the support of the US military, the Iraqi security forces are gradually encroaching on the areas under their control, not to mention attacking, and even defending is difficult.

Therefore, the officials of the special mission were stunned, they could not imagine that Iran was in such a situation, and although they were unwilling to continue negotiations, they were ordered from above not to lower their heads to negotiate with the Basra people.

It's a pity that Canglong is not the kind of person who wants to negotiate and fight if you want to fight, on the contrary, he likes to take the initiative in his own hands, and now that he has an absolute advantage, why should he negotiate with you?

Therefore, the special envoy did not even meet Canglong in front of him this time, and Basra only sent a small foreign minister who could not be in a small country to receive them, and this time the special mission was in an embarrassing situation, but there was nothing to do.

A few days later, Ali Daei felt that this was not the way to go, and in a few days in Basra, he found that the Iranian war had indeed been lost, because the people of Basra had no negative attitude towards the war after learning of the great victory of the Prophet's army, and almost ran out into the streets to celebrate with singing and dancing.

Either way, the war meant more to the Basra than the Franco-Austrian battles that preceded it, in which Abdul, the commander of the coast guard, became a hero to the Basra people.

Under the propaganda of Basra, the war became a symbol of the rise of Basra, and their victory over the Iranians not only in their homeland, but even in Iranian soil, was a great victory, in the words of the people of Basra.

In fact, this is not a brainwashing fanatical propaganda, because the propaganda department of Basra is telling the truth and there is no exaggeration.

This led Ali Daei to see a different Basra, a small Iraqi province that was not afraid of war, but rather longed for it, and of course all this was based on complete logistics.

It stands to reason that once there is a war, the little Basra should cut back on food and clothing, but Ali Daei found that this is not the case, the whole Basra is a prosperous scene, and even to a certain extent, the war has promoted the industrial development of Basra, and Ali Daei was stunned at that time, Basra has no money.

In the end, he attributed all this to his old friend Canglong, because he is a man who can work miracles, and maybe it is the money he got that supports everything here.

In Iran, on the other hand, the public is extremely negative about the war, and the eight-year Iran-Iraq war has already made them suffer, and they are not willing to fight a war that may be longer.

In this embarrassing situation, Ali Daei did not know how to turn the situation around, let's negotiate, Canglong did not see them at all, just left them aside, and even asked him to talk privately, Canglong pretended not to know, and the other officials of the special mission also exhausted their means, they began to visit the high-ranking officials and military high-ranking officials in Basra, hoping that they could put pressure on the Prophet to resume negotiations.

But all the gifts and money they gave were sent out, but in the end they were all sent back untouched, and the people of the special mission did not know what was going on, and they said that the officials of Basra were so incorruptible? They don't believe it.

In fact, it is not that the officials in Basra are very clean, but that the Iranians give them money, and the things they are doing are too big.

Nima's made Lao Tzu take a huge risk to put pressure on the prophet? You are funny, but I am not funny, don't look at the Prophet's usual turn a blind eye to some of their actions, but putting pressure on the Prophet is tantamount to telling the Prophet that we are going to threaten your position.

Not to mention this kind of thing, as long as there is any hint of it, the prophet will not show mercy, after all, they are still self-aware, they are stupid and know that the money can be earned later, but if the prophet is angered, the money earned will not be spent.

Moreover, they are all paid very well now, so why should they risk being shot to do such a thankless job?

Therefore, no matter how much money Iranian senior officials make, it is useless in the end, which makes Iranian officials understand that in Basra, the authority of the prophet is much higher than that of the conservative supreme leader of Iran.

Half a month later, the war in this sensitive area spread almost all over the world, whether it was the Middle Eastern countries, Western countries, or other countries, they were amazed by the combat effectiveness of the Basra Prophet Army, which captured the entire territory of Khuzestan Province in two days and forced the Iranian army not to dare to counterattack, which is also rare in the world today.

For a while, all countries began to re-evaluate Basra, and few people knew about the Baath Party's war before, but the intelligence services of various countries still knew about it, and now the level of Basra is almost leapfrogging from the level it played last time, not only in terms of equipment, from the quality of the army, and logistical supplies, although it is impossible to compare with the strongest Israeli army in the Middle East, but it is also catching up.

At the same time, it was also discovered that the Prophet's military weapons were all Russian-made weapons, and only a small number of Chinese weapons were used.

Many media began to speculate whether the backers behind this war were the two major powers that provided weapons, but even those famous intelligence services did not understand that it was reasonable for Russia to support the Prophet Army, but China supported the Prophet Army, which is a little speechless.

China's oil imports, but most of them rely on Iran's cooperation with Iran, and they can't afford to offend Iran's heavyweight partner for the sake of a Basra, right?

But without China's support, why did Basra develop so fast, and why could it still fight so many battles when it was developing?

These seemed to be questions, even Natasha in Baghdad was very puzzled, and at first she was also surprised by this inexplicable war, after all, what are Basra and Iran fighting? Is Canglong stupid? Their common enemy should be themselves.

But she quickly ignored this problem, because a more serious fact was in front of her, the weapons and equipment of the Basra army, as well as the quality of the army, exceeded her expectations, weapons and equipment can be bought with money, and the Russians can naturally be equipped in a very short time as long as they are willing to sell, but the quality and combat effectiveness of the army are not so formed in a day or two, or a year or two.

But to this question, the sea eagle gave her the answer: "What is surprising that an army that is not afraid of death, coupled with excellent weapons, can create such a miracle?" ”

Natasha understood, but her worries were getting deeper and deeper, the Prophet Army was growing so fast, wouldn't the Prophet Army they would face in the future be even more terrifying?

"No, we must limit their development, even if we don't deal with him now, we must ensure that when we face him in the future, we will not pay a heavy price." Natasha's sense of distress is severe.

"So where are you going to start?" The sea eagle looked at the map, Baghdad and Basra are still separated by several provinces, and if they don't solve the Baath Party, they just want to fly over and bomb, and they have to ask if they agree with the anti-aircraft missiles.

But Natasha seemed prepared, and she pointed to another neighbor in Basra: "Start here." ”
