It can be said that whether or not Basra can be held or whether Basra can be recaptured after it is lost is of great importance, and it has a bearing on Iraq's fate, its future, and, more importantly, Saddam's reputation.

In the history of the previous life, Iraq was defeated, but because of the pressure of the United States and the Soviet Union, Iran did not take advantage of the victory to expand the results of the war, and the two sides continued to fight and stop on the border, although Iran's goal of destroying Iraq's main forces was not fully realized, but it was impossible for Saddam to restore the previous war situation, and Saddam Hussein repeatedly asked for ceasefire negotiations but could not.

It was not until both sides were exhausted that Iran saw that Iraq, which was supported by the Soviet Union and the United States, was a small power that could not be defeated, so it had no choice but to accept Saddam's request for negotiations and reluctantly withdraw its troops to its own territory, which ended the war.

In this life, because of Guo Shucheng's intervention, because China "sent" 2,000 tanks before Iraq launched the war, Iraq's military strength is much greater than in the previous life, and the results achieved are much more brilliant.

The results of Iraq's war were expanded by Guo Zhuocheng's intervention, but also because of Guo Zhuocheng's intervention, more troops of the Iraqi army fell into the front line, and once the back road was cut off, its losses were much greater than in the previous life.

It can really be said that success is also Guo Zhuocheng, and defeat is also Guo Zhuocheng.

It's just that Saddam, Uday and others are not reborn and don't know the situation in their previous lives at all, so they only have gratitude and admiration for Guo Zhuocheng, and they don't have any resentment.

In this regard, Guo Zhuocheng naturally had to snicker.

It is also because of Guo Shucheng's intervention that Saddam's relationship with the United States and the Soviet Union in this life is far less deep than that in his previous life. Because of the abundance of weapons at hand, Iraq has not had the same impetus to actively purchase weapons from the United States and the Soviet Union as in his previous life, nor did he have the abundant funds that the Soviet Union and the United States coveted in his previous life. Naturally, the United States and the Soviet Union did not actively support him in dealing with Iran as they did in their previous lives, and in this life, they almost all adopted the mentality of spectators, and they fought in the dark with Iraq and Iran on their side.

Of course, there is another aspect that cannot be ignored, that is, the Chinese watch in this life is far more positive than in the previous life, far stronger than the previous life. Because the development of technology and capital is far stronger than in previous lives, China's role between the Soviet Union and the United States is naturally much higher than in previous lives. Neither the Soviet Union nor the United States despised China as they did in their previous lives, but put China on a very important side.

In the previous life, the United States needed China to be a pawn of their Western countries, and they ♀ still had this idea, but China, which was more involved with the Soviet Union than in the previous life, did not dare to provoke China too much, knowing that China was making a lot of money in Iraq, but they could only pretend not to see it.

And the Soviet Union in this life was afraid of China, afraid that a strong China would run to the side of the United States. Although they do not dare to expect China to stay with them, it is also very important for China to keep a distance from European and American countries. While the Soviet Union cleaned up Afghanistan first, China was only on the side. Therefore, the Soviet Union, like the United States, turned a blind eye to what small moves China played in Iraq.

Yes, it is precisely because China has become strong in this life that they have scruples, and the Soviet Union and the United States are much more cautious than in previous lives. In order to prevent China from falling to the other side, both the Soviet Union and the United States watched China dump junk weapons into Iraq at high prices, and watched China make money on both sides of Iran and Iraq, and stuffed a lot of money into their pockets.

This is the power of the strong!

The above series of reasons also led to the fact that when Saddam Hussein suffered defeat on the front line, he first thought of China, not the United States, as in his previous life.

Saddam Hussein is like this, and Uday is even more so↓ As Yu Gangqiu said, when he was young, he developed a kind of dependence on Guo Zhuocheng, and he could be described as obedient to Guo Zhuocheng.

This time, Guo Zhuocheng predicted it correctly. He once told Uday that Iran would attack Basra from an unexpected direction, and he asked Uday to hide his armored troops in the mountains just over a hundred kilometers from Basra for training, just to play a role at a critical moment.

Now the situation that Guo Chengcheng predicted has appeared, and Iran's armored troops have really come out of the unexpected swamp, disrupting Iraq's deployment and making Saddam Hussein and others panic. At this moment, Saddam Hussein was really surprised by Guo Zhuocheng's judgment and surprised that Guo Zhuocheng had arranged for Uday's troops to train here in advance. When Basra was in dire straits, Saddam Hussein personally called Uday and demanded that Uday immediately send troops to drive out the Iraqi army.

Knowing that Iran's armored forces crossed the swamp that was difficult for even people to cross and killed Basra, Uday admired Guo Zhuocheng even more.

While Wudai was overjoyed, he was even more a little bit of a loser, and he only wanted to get Guo Shucheng's thoughts in his heart. If you rush out so rashly, will you be able to achieve great results, and will you fall into the trap of the Iranian army? He was convinced that Guo Zhuocheng had a better way, and he must know when it was best to set off, the greatest influence, and better admired by other generals, so that he could get the greatest military exploits and get the cover of more people.

He didn't even think carefully about Guo Zhuocheng's blind obedience, but just waited anxiously.

In response to Saddam's phone call and the urging of the headquarters, Uday kept delaying time under the pretext that the troops had not yet assembled and the fuel had not been replenished, and prayed in his heart that Guo Zhuocheng would appear as soon as possible.

Guo Zhuocheng didn't say a word when he listened to the military attaché's explanation, but only thought silently in his heart. After the military attache finished speaking, he asked: "Have the Iranian armored forces torn through the outer defense line of Basra?" ”

The military attache glanced at Guo Zhuocheng and said, "I have not yet received a notice in this regard, but according to ......"

Guo Shucheng said: "If it is torn, please send a telegram to His Royal Highness Uday to send troops immediately!" When he enters Basra ‖ with all his forces, ask him to build a message to your president, Mr. President, to abandon the outer line of defense in Abadan and to send all the troops that have been drawn to Basra. Only in this way can a two-sided attack force the Iranian army to withdraw and force them to return from the same route. Otherwise, the Iraqi army is in danger, and the fate of Iraq is in danger! ”

The military attache was shocked and blurted out: "Does that mean that our country will give up the occupation of Abadan?" ”

Giving up the outer line of defense and taking away the troops is equivalent to a woman taking off her clothes and not letting others insult her?

Guo Zhuocheng said: "Yes. You were already in an awkward position when Iran unexpectedly occupied your Basra. What you have to do now is to protect your own land, how to protect your army, and especially the living forces of your army from being eaten by the enemy, instead of keeping your eyes on the cities and lands of the Iranian state.

There is a great man in China who said, 'People die on the earth, but people are everywhere on the earth; Where people die, all people and all are finished'. Without a strong army and a mortal threat to your capital, you should know what the consequences will be. ”

The military attache did not speak, but the expression on his face was extremely rich and painful.

After a long while, he said, "I will report to His Highness Uday at once, and convey to him all that you have just said." ”

Guo Shucheng said: "Okay." Tell him all my words. That's all there is to the military matter, do you ambassadors have anything to do with me? If not, I'll go back. ”

The military attache asked him to wait a moment.

Soon after, the ambassador personally came over to invite Guo to his office.

The ambassador handed him a copy of the text. Guo Zhuocheng took out one, which turned out to be the first draft of the agreement on China's purchase of oil exploration rights in the Pokhaz region from Iraq... The council not only delineated the territorial scope, tax ratio, and tenure of ownership, but also proposed the local zhèng in Iraq

How FU can help China explore the crude oil resources of that land, the amount of fresh water used, the security of the area, and so on.

Iraq, so to speak, zhèng

FU has put a lot of effort into this project, and it has also eliminated the fact that China can explore for oil there, as soon as possible

I started work there, and the crude oil was extracted, so that they could share the dividends together.

After a little agreement, Guo Zhuocheng said very agreeably: "I think the conditions here are good, and I personally agree." But the formal recognition of the text jiàn requires our zhèng

FU is recognized by the relevant departments. ”

The ambassador said: "This is our country's zhèng to your country

Fu's thanks, this is why there are such favorable conditions. ”

Guo Zhuocheng smiled and said, "Thank you!" I believe that with the development of the oil fields, the relationship between our two countries will be further deepened, and I am even more confident that your country will receive a lot of valuable funds from this project. ”

"I am convinced of that as well," the ambassador said. Our country zhèng

Fu can eliminate your country early

i stationed, so that the oilfield can do its best to produce benefits. If your country can invest and carry out exploration before the end of this year, China will provide more preferential facilities for the construction of oil refineries and chemical plants. We can also use our connections to persuade Kuwait

FU allows your companies to build oil pipelines in their own country. Allow you to build your own dedicated port to berth oil tankers. ”

Guo Zhuocheng's eyes lit up and asked, "How sure are you?" ......, I am referring to the matter of building a civilian dock. ”

The ambassador deliberately said: "There should be more than 50 percent certainty." Obviously, he is not very good Guo Zhuocheng, and he has greatly reduced the probability of xing, in order not to let him think that Iraq is begging him. Because he had just reached the glimmer of light in Guo Shucheng's eyes, it showed that this young man was tempted.

Guo Zhuocheng also said that the ambassador did not tell the truth, but he did not break the little trick of this ambassador: people are also thinking about his country, and this ambassador is not completely aware of Uday's dependence on him.
