Chapter 055, it's really cheap

"Damn the Russians, do you think I can't deal with you with a few missile radar vehicles?" At the U.S. military base, Natasha was very angry.

This attack was the first large-scale air raid since the US military returned to Iraq, but it did not expect to lose eight Predator drones in a row, and even one plane F16C defected, which was simply a shame for the US military in Iraq, and they swore to support the central government during the day.

But at the beginning of the operation, it suffered a serious setback, and if the media found out that Basra had not received any damage the next day, wouldn't it have increased Basra's arrogance? Countries must think that the United States is playing tricks, but in fact it has no combat capability against Basra at all.

At least in terms of face, it was completely unattainable, so Natasha immediately contacted the Navy to prepare for a new round of bombing, this time of course, not with fighter jets, but with Tomahawk missiles launched from missile launchers on Navy ships to bomb Basra.

"I just don't believe that you have so many missiles to intercept the Navy's Tomahawks." Natasha sneered.

But just when she contacted her, the sea eagle appeared beside her at some point and startled her: "Can you knock on the door first when you come in?" ”

"Sorry, get used to it." The sea eagle didn't care, "What are you going to do here?" Do you want to take revenge on him? ”

"We just lost eight drones, an Iraqi pilot mutinied, are you going to make me sit back and wait for tomorrow the media to hype up our incompetence?" Natasha asked rhetorically, "At least we can't keep that Iraqi pilot alive." ”

"What do you know about the current air defense forces of Basra? Do you know where the pilot is now? "Although the defection of this Iraqi pilot was not premeditated, I believe that after you called the Navy, the F16 had been dismantled and hidden in a place that you can't find now, and this place is likely to be their command post." ”

Natasha was stunned: "Even if it is a cover-type saturation bombing of Basra, I will not hesitate to do it." ”

The sea eagle shook his head: "I know what you think, but the U.S. military has always been the cooperation of ground or air intelligence networks to carry out bombing, and returning to Iraq has already burdened us with too much negative news, and I believe that the White House does not want to bear a negative news about bombing civilians now." ”

Natasha calmed down, she held the phone in her hand, and finally put it back: "So what do we do now?" Will he be left to his development? ”

"I told you a long time ago, don't get too involved in too much personal emotion, it will affect your judgment and command." The sea eagle said, shrugging his shoulders, "Of course, if you insist on going your own way, I don't bother to dissuade you, anyway, the United States will help you clean up the mess, but you will lose the opportunity to deal with him." ”

"Is it still going according to plan?" Natasha was a little hesitant, if she still had confidence in the plan proposed by the sea eagle before, then after testing the details of the dragon this time, she would not have so much confidence and confidence.

"Iraq is so big, how strong can it be?" The sea eagle was unimpressed, "Wouldn't it be easier for the army, navy and air force to unite against him when we support the security forces and advance all the way to the border in Basra governorate?" So until then, no matter how much trouble he gives us, we have to endure. ”

"Shinobi?" Natasha is angry, because this is not the American style, the American style is a blow, unreasonable, let alone endured.

"So what can you do? Do you want the United States to bear more infamy? "I'm sure he's waiting for you to take further action, and once you bomb Basra, tomorrow the front page headlines in all the newspapers around the world will be the massacre of civilians in Basra by the U.S. military, and you know that His Excellency the President has sent troops back to Iraq not to fight, but to help Iraq recover and rebuild, although this is a pretense to deceive people, but at least to save face, you know?" ”

"You really know the people in the council." Natasha nodded, in fact, she knew all these truths, but she just couldn't swallow this breath.

"If I didn't know about them, I guess I would have died under their guns." The sea eagle smiled, remembering his past, "Let's make a bet." ”

"Bet on what?" Natasha said.

"Just bet that tomorrow's newspaper will be absolutely unexpected." Haidiao smiled, "Actually, he is playing around with that little means, using the power of the media to raise anti-war sentiment in the country, so that those people in the parliament will have to be constrained, and you will be under more pressure, but if you do your thing with peace of mind, so that he can't find an excuse, what can he do with you?" ”

Natasha calmed down a bit, nodded, and said, "How unexpected?" ”

"You wait and see, if nothing else, you continue to contact the Navy, a night is not very long, for the powerful US Navy, the bombardment of Basra is not a problem at all, and it does not take any timing." The sea eagle said calmly.

Natasha didn't know where he came up with so many excuses, but she still nodded, there is an old Chinese saying, ginger is still old and spicy, Natasha believes this sentence very much, at least it is very reliable when applied to sea eagles.

By the next day, the headlines around the world were really unexpected, starting with the national media reports on the changes in Basra, which, according to Reuters, is now a city of miracles, and the Prophet Army has done what the Americans and the British have not done, solving the hunger and poverty of Basra.

Al Jazeera's report was even more surprising, showing a video of the interview that made the world disbelieve that it was Basra, a city that had been cared for by decades of war, and that Basra was Iraq's city of hope.

Journalists from all over the world received mixed reviews, but most of them leaned towards Basra and more satirized the United States and the central government of Iraq.

In particular, CNN's report that the return of the United States to Iraq was a mistake, taking taxpayers' money and serving the parliamentary consortium, and the miracle of Basra, is a kind of irony of the US government, and the US Congress and the White House should launch a national reflection.

The British BBC reported a novel news, saying that last night the Baghdad security forces and the US military launched an air strike on Basra, and released a set of photos, which mentioned things in this group of photos, which shook the military of various countries, because anti-aircraft missiles appeared in the photos.

BBC commentators said that the advanced missile launched by Basra during a U.S. airstrike last night successfully destroyed several U.S. Predator drones, and now Iraq's airspace is defenseless.

Of course, there is another hot news, but it has been suppressed by various countries, but this news has been broadcast in Iran and Arab countries, saying that an air force of the Iraqi security forces piloted Iraq's only F16C to land at Basra airport, apparently surrendered.

In the US military base, Natasha's face is very ugly, and in the face of overwhelming media reports, especially the disguised sarcasm, there have been many anti-war demonstrations in European and American countries, and even demanded that the US troops completely withdraw from Iraq.

"Well, are you still preparing a saturation strike at Basra?" The sea eagle asked.

Natasha shook her head helplessly, if she asked the Navy to strike yesterday, it is estimated that today's news will not be sarcastic, but condemned by the whole world, and may even give the United States a crime against humanity, just because Basra has created a miracle, which is more prosperous than the current Baghdad.

And the problems that the new government and the US military spent more than a decade in Iraq did not solve, Basra solved them all, without even using the oil there.

"This guy is so cunning, I used to think that he was only good at the field of killers, but I didn't expect him to play politics well." Natasha said helplessly.

"A person who can become the world's number one killer will naturally not be so simple, China doesn't have an old saying about what, there is no vanity under the fame." The sea eagle didn't care.

At the same time, in Basra, Canglong looked puzzled, and when Vivian came to report to him, Canglong asked, "The U.S. troops are not moving?" ”

"What else do you want them to do?" Vivien asked rhetorically.

"It's really strange, with what I know, she must be going to fight back, how can she stop fighting down after suffering such a big loss?" Canglong looked strange.

"You just rest, you took such a big advantage, and you are still selling here." Vivian glanced at him angrily and handed him a document, "This is a piece of news just released by the central government, saying that the reason why we can build Iraq so well is because of the secret extraction of oil"

"Oh." Canglong took the document and looked at it, and threw it aside, "It seems that they are starting to play scoundrels." ”

"But we also had problems, and last night's air strikes, combined with the tense atmosphere, have severely dampened the confidence of investors, and although we have intercepted the bombing by the US military, they are still worried that there will be war here at any time." Vivien said.

"It's not surprising." Canglong said with a smile, "Let the provincial government hold a press conference to inform the media that no matter what happens in Basra, it will remain completely open, and investors from all countries are welcome to come, and the Prophet Army will protect all investments in Basra Province, no matter which country invades, the Prophet Army will let them have no return, and Basra will not engage in **." ”

Vivien nodded and recorded it, but the last one made her face change, and she said sarcastically: "Aren't you ** now?" ”

"Are you sure I'm a**?" Canglong smiled and defended, "I am carrying the hope of the people, I can't be called **." ”

"Anyway, you have a point." Vivien looked sarcastic.

"By the way, let the shrimp pull out all the missile units, no need to hide them, since the central government is playing scoundrels, and the Americans have begun to tolerate it again, then we have to take advantage of the hot iron to beat him, and we don't need to save me, if the Americans dare to send planes to bomb, we will use them as targets, and we will use them as training troops."

"You're not afraid to push the Americans in a hurry? And if you show all the missile units, you won't be afraid of being detected? Vivien asked.

"You think so, Natasha doesn't think so, if I show it, she will definitely think that I have more missiles still hidden, in fact, I don't have anything, but I just want to show it, what can she do with me?" Canglong smiled.

"It's cheap." With that, Vivien turned and left
