Su Su originally thought that Simon's mood would definitely be bad next, and whoever was so yin would definitely not feel good, but he didn't expect that Simon quickly recovered his mood, the old fox was an old fox after all, and the smile on his face was like what had happened just now.

Canglong didn't care, because this just proves that Simon is a very self-contained person, if Simon turns his head to be angry with him, or plays some small emotions, Canglong will have to underestimate him a little, and he himself can do such a transformation, Simon is already benevolent to these two people, and there is no need to be pretentious at all.

"You guys get out." Simon glanced at the staff officer.

Canglong also glanced at Su Su, Su Su nodded, now is the time to report, and when there were only two people left in the office, Simon suddenly said, "I hope you can promise me one thing." ”

"Wish I didn't become a second Saddam, did I?" Canglong guessed something.

"Yes, I hope that Iraq can become truly strong under your leadership, and move towards democracy and prosperity." Simon said he was a man with big ambitions, and if it weren't for Iraq, Simon wouldn't have been able to come back and bring people back here from Iran.

"Your wish will come true, but it will require you and me to work together." Canglong smiled and said, "Anything I promise you now won't be useful, do you understand?" ”

Simon nodded, then said, "What are you going to do next?" ”

"Huh." Canglong smiled and sat back, "That's exactly the question I want to ask you, what step do you think the Prophet Army should go next?" To be honest, I'm not as good as you in terms of military affairs, it's just that you're always in the wrong position, and now you're in the right position, and you should play your due talent. ”

This was a bit unexpected by Simon, he knew very well what Canglong meant, this was a test, and then he was not verbose, took out the map of the entire Iraq and said: "With the strength of the southern government"

Canglong suddenly interrupted: "No, with our strength, you are already my chief of the general staff, the supreme military commander of Basra. ”

Simon nodded and changed his words: "With our strength, we are now enough to fight a tough battle with the US military, but we must not confront them head-on." ”

"Why?" Canglong asked.

"It's very simple, the opposite side is a government supported by a superpower, and although we have the support of the Russians, Russia is not unconditionally supported, if there is no hope of victory, let alone a military alliance, even if it is a brother, Russia will not hesitate to abandon us." Simon said calmly.

"Go on." Canglong gestured.

"Since we can't go head-to-head with them, then we can only attack from the inside, let's take these three provinces first, and defend them." Simon pointed to the three provinces opposite Basra, which are also Missan provinces, Dikal provinces, and Muthanna provinces, "As long as we take here, we have a strategic buffer, and now we can fight a protracted war with the Americans." ”

"What's the enduring law? You must know that the other side is a superpower. Canglong asked rhetorically.

"The U.S. economy is already weak, and it is impossible to send troops directly to Iraq, so the only thing we have to face is the U.S. allies, such as Saudi Arabia, Israel, and Turkey, these three countries have absolute strength in the Middle East, especially Israel, a military power, even if the prophet army wants to confront Israel head-on, it may be difficult to win." Simon expressed his concerns, "I know that the Prophet Army is very strong, but it is far from enough to face Israel, which has been fighting since the founding of the country, even in the face of the US military, it is still very difficult, fortunately, it is impossible for the US military to send large troops, and the current international situation absolutely does not allow them to send troops, and Israel, which can send troops, is not adjacent to Iraq, so the only thing they can send is the air force and missiles." ”

Canglong nodded: "You're right, the entrance to the sea was blocked by the Russians, and it is no longer possible for the Americans to attack Iraq from the sea, so the possible land attacks are Jordan, Turkey and Saudi Arabia, so when do you judge when they should attack us?" And how should we react! ”

Hearing this, Simon looked at the map and pondered, and after half an hour, he suddenly said: "Once we fight a tough battle with the government forces supported by the Americans, and finally both sides are defeated, they will appear, and then we will be attacked on our backs, even if we crush the government forces, what can we do?" The Americans can still support a puppet government to come out and occupy this place, but we can lose everything. ”

Canglong nodded: "It's true that we can't fight a tough battle, unless we are sure enough, but I think that even if we don't fight a tough battle with the government army, these countries will send troops in the end." ”

"Yes, we will still have to face Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Turkey, and at the same time we will be attacked by the US military, Israel and other Western countries." Simon worried.

Canglong also looked at the map, smiled, and continued to ask, "How to deal with it!" ”

"Attack!" Simon said coldly, "There is only a way out by attacking, and holding on to death is just sitting and waiting, storming Jordan and plunging the sword into the heart of Israel, as long as we can hit Israel, the whole world will shock our military strength, and at the same time force Turkey and Saudi Arabia to withdraw their troops." ”

"How do you know they're going to quit?" Canglong continued to ask.

"There is no country in the Middle East that has not suffered from Israel, and the country that can make Israel suffer will be a stronger country than Israel, and other countries have absolutely no reason to continue to be our enemies." Simon confidently said, "This is also the only hard battle we need to fight, and if we win, we will win the whole of Iraq, and even the whole of the Middle East, and if we lose, we will lose everything that was built before, and there will be crazy retaliation from Israel." ”

"You're a gambler." Canglong made his assessment.

"So are you." Simon replied.

"No, I don't bet on games that I'm not sure about." Canglong said with a smile.

Simon was a little disappointed, Canglong's words were telling him that this plan was not feasible and too risky, but he didn't expect it, Canglong continued: "However, with your factor, I think I can make a bet." ”

Simon immediately had a smile on his face: "I will definitely live up to your expectations." ”

"No, what you should not live up to is the expectations of the Iraqis, from today onwards, all the troops of Basra will obey your command, except for me, you are the supreme military commander of the Prophet's army, do whatever you want." Canglong said calmly.

Simon didn't expect that he could feel honor and responsibility from this young man who was dozens of years younger than himself, although it was heavy, but he was full of pride in his heart, whether it was under Saddam, or in the Iranian army, or under Hussein, he had never been trusted, but now he felt this trust, a long-lost trust.

Next, the two were like close friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they talked about a lot of topics, and at this time, Basra also received the news that Canglong went to the meeting alone.

At that time, Vivian was furious, it is said that the prime minister almost lifted the table that day, as for the snow leopards, they were helpless, no way, their heads, never according to common sense, obviously can use the safest way, but he just didn't need to, he had to run and hang alone.

Bai Wuchang said at the time: "This guy is going to pretend to be B." ”

Despite this, they quickly drew up a battle plan, but when they arrived in Dikar Province, they found that all the coalition forces had surrendered, and all they had to do was to take in the prisoners and regroup.

The Snow Leopards rushed to the headquarters of the Alliance Army, but found that Canglong was drinking tea with Simon, and when he saw them coming, Canglong hurriedly called them in, and then announced his order to appoint Simon as Chief of the General Staff.

At that time, their faces changed, and their hearts said that this guy can't be the second Akram, right? But Black Impermanence didn't have the slightest suspicion, and patted Simon's shoulder with a big grin, almost slapping his old bones apart.

The snow leopards quickly accepted this fact, because Simon was not polite at all after taking office, and directly issued the battle order, as if he had been prepared for a long time, and his command was clearly organized, and he was much more professional than Canglong Ke in some aspects, and even in some places he was fine enough to be at the level of a battalion platoon.

As expected, on this day they fought a big victory, because the government army in the north did not react at all, and they were even surprised on the battlefield how their enemy had become the Prophet Army, instead of the previous Union Army, so they finally defeated half of the three provinces and were directly driven out by the Prophet Army.

By the third day, all the remnants had been wiped out, and the Prophet's army had captured the provinces of Missan, Dikal, and Muthanna at the slightest cost.

When the government army reacted and built fortifications, the Prophet Army stopped at the border of the three provinces, and the government army was even surprised by the quality of these Prophet Army, as if there was some force blocking the border, no matter how they provoked, the Prophet Army just did not cross the border one step.

The victory soon reached Basra, and the Basra people did not even have time to react to this great victory, and if it were not for the video of the garrison of troops in the three governorates broadcast on Basra TV, I am afraid they would have thought that someone was spreading rumors.

But after watching the TV broadcast, it was still like a dream, and then the whole Basra was jubilant, and countless people who had fled to Basra from the three provinces poured out of the border, and they wanted to return to the homeland that once belonged to them, even if it was dilapidated, it was also their home.

As Prime Minister, Vivian immediately announced the liberation of the three provinces and held a press conference, promising that even in the face of difficulties, she would solve the problem of food, clothing, and electricity supply for everyone in the three provinces in the shortest possible time, and at the same time give everyone there enough options to go to the northern government and continue to be their puppet government citizens, or they can stay here and become full citizens of the southern government.
