Chapter 107, War Comes

A month later, the shadow of that war is still alive and well overlooked for the international community, the war between Basra and the remnants of the Baath Party is simply ignored, and the casualties on both sides are not the concern of journalists, who are more concerned about what is happening in Baghdad than about what is happening in Baghdad because there are Americans there.

However, since the economic recovery and the improvement of living standards in Basra, the desire to regain lost territory has become stronger, and the women's army has marched almost daily in the hope that the government will provide more money to arm the army.

If you look closely, you will find that the slogan used by the Lady Army in the march is "Retake", not rebellion, just listening to this word, you can judge the psychology of the people of Basra, they think that they are orthodox, the new government of Baghdad is a puppet of the Americans, so they feel that the Prophet's army marched into the central provinces, and even into Baghdad, just to regain lost territory and unify Iraq.

And after the victory of the war against the Baath Party, this sentiment was further encouraged, and spontaneous demonstrations by the Women's Army took place almost every day, and for other governments, such demonstrations were extremely headaches, and if it was a dictatorship, it would have been directly suppressed. The main government, of course, can only appease, and then have a headache.

But the Basra government didn't care at all, and if you investigate deeply, you will find that the daily march of the Women's Army is almost all purposeful, and they have greatly encouraged the local people's enthusiasm for work, and at the same time, the cohesion of the whole Basra has reached an all-time high.

All this is of course driven by Su Su's intelligence bureau behind the scenes, if you want to make the whole Basra airtight, the best way is to make the people's values inclined to the national and national righteousness, although this is suspected of brainwashing, but the work of the intelligence agency is like this, but Su Su did it more obviously.

And this effect is even more obvious, at least the spies of various countries do not want to get valuable information from Basra, everything is under Su Su's control, he does not need to spy on foreign spies at all, because the people do not allow any betrayal of Basra, or betrayal of the prophet.

These days, Su Su has been thinking about the question of some time ago, but in the end he did not get a reasonable answer, he thought that he would not be very busy recently, but soon he found that this was not the case, despite his impenetrable intelligence network and the fact that the people trusted the Prophet so much, someone still broke into the interior of Basra.

No matter how peaceful the times, there are always people who are willing to become spies, but in Basra this rarely happens, but when it does, it is fatal, at least Su Su thinks.

Especially when he investigated who was bribing the high-ranking officials of Basra, Su Su's face was very bad, and he couldn't deal with this matter alone, so he found Canglong and reported the matter.

Canglong looked at the list, but he didn't care about it abnormally, just smiled and said, "What do you think I should do?" ”

"This matter involves the General Intelligence Bureau, if we come hard and it is not easy to explain it to the above, I think it should be reported to Director Li and let her deal with it." Su Su said.

"When you're in trouble, let a woman come forward, do you think this fits my character?" Canglong asked rhetorically.

"It's not a matter of face." Su Su's face was solemn, "If the CIA is well-intentioned, then that's fine, but I always feel that the agents of the CIA are not as simple as they seem." ”

"Didn't the real purpose be investigated?" Canglong asked.

"To be exact, they didn't take any drastic actions, they just bribed some officials and began to infiltrate the military and government high-level, and the highest level of contact with them was" Su Su hesitated again at this point.

"Who?" Canglong's face turned cold.

"Deputy Governor of Assad." Su Su said calmly.

"Oh." Canglong's face calmed down again, and after a while, he said, "Since the General Intelligence Bureau is willing to spend money to comfort my officials, let them condole, and have some confidence in yourself." ”

"But," Su Su said worriedly, "if they give us a salary at a critical moment, then the time comes."

Hearing this, Canglong suddenly smiled: "Don't you trust your superiors either?" ”

Su Su's face changed, and he quickly explained: "It's not that I don't trust the superiors, I just believe in some politicians above, so we have to guard against it." ”

"Oh." Canglong suddenly asked, "Then do you think there is any difference between the current Basra and the old Basra?" ”

Hearing this, Su Su suddenly fell silent, this question is very easy to answer in the eyes of many people, but in Su Su's eyes, it is not so simple, it looks like Basra is thriving now, but in fact, Basra is in danger, as the so-called husband is not guilty, he is guilty, Basra has so much oil, it is the sin.

For example, in the impoverished Africa, there are wars almost every day, but the eyes of the whole world are on the Middle East, Africa only has sand, and the Middle East has oil, which is due to human nature.

The main reason why there is no crisis is now is that the enemy has not found an opportunity, but if it does, Basra will inevitably fall into an existential situation.

"It's harder in Basra now than it used to be." Su Su's face was solemn and said, "Although Basra was in the war in the past, people lived in a society without any faith, but now Basra has faith, and this faith is the most terrifying, head, you have tied more than two million people in Basra to your chariot, once you fall, these two million will also fall with you." ”

"Do you think we have a way out?" Canglong asked.

"Nope." Su Su shook his head.

"Since there isn't, then what are you hesitating about, continue to drive this chariot forward, and fight for justice." Canglong said calmly.

"For justice." Su Su had a puzzled expression on his face, and when he heard the word justice, he was relieved.

The answer in my heart suddenly appeared, although in the eyes of many people, this answer may be so hypocritical and ridiculous, but looking back at everything they did, it was actually closely related to these two words, at least they achieved the most basic justice.

"Anything else?" Canglong asked.

"Yes." Su Su said, taking out another document and handing it to him, "This is a message from an intelligence officer sent to Iran, which also has a situation in the border area. ”

Canglong frowned, he picked up the document and looked at it carefully, his face became more and more ugly, his premonition was accurate, the war was approaching Basra, and this time they would not face the Americans, nor the security forces of the central government, but Iran, which has a territory of 300 kilometers with Basra.

Susu's intelligence revealed in detail the intentions of the Iranian military's top brass to invade the Basra border town of Faou.

The city of Faw is unfamiliar to those who are not familiar with Iraq, but anyone who knows a little about Iraq will know the important geographical location of Faw.

Faou, one of Iraq's two ports, because there are only 20 kilometers of coastline, so the port of Basra and Faou became the main port of Iraq's oil export, and the only outlet of Iraq by sea, once the port of Faou was occupied, the port of Basra was under threat.

On top of that, the city of Fao has more than a thousand oil wells, including one super oil well, which is also one of the two super oil fields that Canglong does not have the right to exploit at auction.

The more than 1,000 oil wells are also closed, not because Canglong does not want to exploit them, but because Fau is the largest oil port in Iraq, which is responsible for Iraq's foreign oil trade, but its geographical location is amazingly poor, and it is only a few dozen kilometers away from the Iranian border.

So in history, every time there is a war, Fau is one of the main targets of enemy attacks, at the beginning of the Iraq War, the first Tomahawk missile launched by the US Navy fell on Faou, so the city was often attacked, in the Iran-Iraq war, Iran occupied an absolute geographical advantage, and dealt a devastating blow to Faou, and at the end of the eight-year war, Faou became a ruin.

After the end of the Iran-Iraq war, at the beginning of the 21st century, the United States began to fight against Iraq, and the economy that had not yet recovered from France and Austria was destroyed again.

Now, Su Su's intelligence shows that Iran has massed heavy troops along their 300-kilometer border, and their main target is likely to be Fao.

Fortunately, Canglong was not eager to exploit the oil fields of Fao, but Fau was the focus of Oriental International Investment, which was originally very rich and suitable for planting, and now the Iranian army is on the side, with great intentions to encroach on Fao, and even Canglong can't calm down, you must know that the Iranian army is not the rabble of the Baath Party, they are organized and systematic, and they are next to Iran, Basra is almost completely undominant.

"We have almost no navy, and Iran's navy is one of the strongest in the region overall, not to mention its air force, and its land force is more threatening than the other two arms." Su Su's face was solemn and said, "If we really want to fight, with our current military strength, it is impossible to win, unless there is a miracle again." ”

"What percentage of the likelihood do you think Iran will send troops to the border?" Canglong asked solemnly.

"Ninety percent." Su Su said directly, "More than any period in history, now is the best time for Iran to invade France, the reason why the Baath Party threatens us and starts a war with us is that Iran is instigating behind it, hoping to bring the whole of Basra into the hands of the Baath Party they support, so that Iran can monopolize the oil here, but unfortunately Iran did not succeed, so he can only do it himself." ”

As he spoke, Su Su took the map, and then drew out all the Fao: "They don't need to invade our hinterland, they only need to occupy the city of Fao, Iran invades here, the Americans must be happy to see it, they naturally won't do it, I wish we and Iran were both defeated, and finally came to clean us up." ”
