Chapter 14: To each according to his needs

This guy hasn't even left yet!

Although he was thinking so, Li Tianling didn't lose face and walked towards Liu Zunshan.

Two days ago, the two almost quarreled over tactics, and they almost didn't scold.

In fact, Li Tianling has always been unaccustomed to Liu Zunshan, and always feels that this "strong bull" lacks a root in his head, and there is no way to communicate at all.

It's not that Li Tianling wears colored glasses, many people think so.

"I'll take the troops to set off later, and now I'm here to apologize to you."

As soon as Liu Zunshan opened his mouth, he "apologized", but his tone didn't look like he was apologizing at all, but more like arguing, which made Li Tianling feel like he couldn't cry or laugh.

The loud voice may just be full of breath, not a deliberate roar.

"No matter what, when you go to the battlefield, you are brothers who share life and death, and your Air Force should not drop the chain!"

Is this guy really here to apologize?

"It's not your turn to worry about the battle in the air." Li Tianling felt angry and funny, but he knew that this was Liu Zunshan who never admitted defeat.

"With your words, it's all right."

After dropping these words, Liu Zunshan turned around and walked away, without even saying goodbye to Li Tianling.

Of course, he may never have been in the habit of saying goodbye to others.

Looking at Liu Zunshan's back, Li Tianling couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

Liu Zunshan has been this virtue since he was a child, and because of his bad temper, other children are reluctant to play with him, and he has become more withdrawn because of this.

To say, it was only after joining the army that something changed.

In the Marine Corps, there are countless officers and soldiers like him.

In fact, the junior officers of the Marine Corps have always been known for their fiery tempers.

In terms of the self-evaluation of the officers and men of the Marine Corps, because they have always fought alone, and when they rush to the beach, they will have to face an enemy far stronger than themselves, so the officers and men of the Marine Corps must have a firm will and an unyielding style of work, and must maintain a positive offensive posture at all times.

The slogan of the Marine Corps is "Attack, Attack, Attack!" ”

It's just that now, there is no time for Li Tianling to sigh.

It was already the early hours of August 4, the ultimatum was due in a few hours, and the Iraqi authorities have not responded to it so far.

Actually, don't have any illusions.

If the Liang Xia Empire's warning had frightened Hussein and made him order the withdrawal of his troops from Kuwait, he would not have dared to send troops to invade Kuwait three days ago.

All in all, the battle will begin in a few hours.

What Li Tianling has to do now is not only to mobilize the officers and men, but also to come up with an ingenious tactic to try to give the Iraqi Air Force a disadvantage after the war begins.

Tactics are ready-made, they just need to be adjusted as necessary according to the real situation.

…………

At this time, the coastal countries of Posha Bay, Doha, the capital of Qatar, the Oriental Pearl Hotel.

After entering the elevator, Bai Huamin pulled down his headscarf and veil, and fanned back and forth in front of him with his hands.

Not only her, but also two female agents arranged by the Military Intelligence Agency to be in charge of security were also hot, but not as exaggerated.

Although it was the middle of the night, the temperature was still as high as 35 degrees Celsius.

What's even worse is that in order to avoid being discovered by reporters, Bai Huamin disguised herself as a local woman.

In the Imperial Suite on the 38th floor, negotiators from the Poian Kingdom were waiting for her.

In fact, Bai Huamin came to Doha as an imperial envoy to negotiate secretly with the envoy of the Boi State because women are easier to disguise.

When he was about to reach the 38th floor, Bai Huamin put on his veil and headscarf again.

There are no cameras in the elevator, but there are certainly cameras in the hallway outside, and they are connected to the hotel's security server.

The hotel also has an automatic alarm system, which is connected to the security system, and the security monitoring system cannot be turned off without triggering the alarm device.

As a result, turning off the security surveillance system will alarm the local police.

The Oriental Pearl Hotel originally belonged to the Liangxia Empire, and the security system was provided by a company that had dealings with the Military Intelligence Agency, and its specific circumstances were all in the control of the Military Intelligence Agency.

This is a secret negotiation that certainly must not alarm the police in Doha.

The police are coming, what secrets are there?

Don't look at Qatar's close ties with the empire, it has always regarded itself as the spokesperson of the empire on the southern shore of Posha Bay, but the Qatari authorities have broken ties with Poland.

On the southern shore of Posha Bay, only Qatar still has contacts with Poland.

In fact, this is the reason why secret negotiations were chosen in Doha.

"You're waiting for me outside."

After Bai Huamin's order, the two accompanying agents stopped.

Bai Huamin is just a diplomat, and the other party has agreed to come here to negotiate, so naturally there will be no danger.

In fact, the envoy of the Boi State also left the accompanying bodyguards outside.

Inside the huge living room, there was only one person.

To Bai Huamin's slight surprise, the other party was also a woman.

In the preparatory stage, the Poi State only provided the last name of the envoy, Hyderabadi, without mentioning the name and gender, and there was no need for this.

As a result, Bai Huamin always felt that the envoy sent by the other party was a man.

In fact, the diplomats of the Boi country that Bai Huamin knows are all men!

Obviously, Poland's appointment of female diplomats as special envoys may also be for the sake of secrecy.

At this juncture, whether it is the Liangxia Empire or the Boyi Kingdom, they definitely don't want to show off the market.

Don't forget, the Liangxia Empire has not established diplomatic relations with the Boyi State until now.

After the Polish-Iranian War, all the strategies of the Liangxia Empire in the Poshawan region were aimed at blockading the Boi State and weakening the regional influence of the Boi State.

During the Iran-Iraq war, the covert support for Iraq has something to do with this.

Although it was Iraq, not Poland, that invaded Kuwait, the news of secret contacts with Poland would certainly have serious repercussions.

For example, it made the outside world think that the Liangxia Empire was not sure to rescue Kuwait, which was occupied by Iraq.

Of course, this secret meeting is related to the upcoming military operation.

"Envoy ...... Hydrabaddi"

"Just call me Raya."

The other party's standard Liang Xia language made Bai Hua extremely surprised.

"Before the severance of diplomatic relations, my father served as the national affairs commissioner in the Liangxia Empire, and I only returned to the Boi country when I was 12 years old."

As she said this, Raya had already pulled down her turban and veil.

Just looking at her appearance, she is about 30 years old, but listening to her introduction, I'm afraid she is 40 years old.

"Your Excellency, time is limited, let's get down to business first."

Surprised, Bai Huamin did not forget the number one and only task of this trip.

Before the official military operation was launched, the Polish-Iraqi state remained neutral throughout the war through compromises and concessions.

Of course, compromise and concession must be two-sided.

To this end, Bai Huamin brought something that was of interest to the Boi country.

For example, through unofficial channels, Poland has been provided with some parts and components for the maintenance of weapons and equipment to ensure the stability of its defense capabilities.

Of course, it is the weapons and equipment of the Liang Xia Empire that are used for maintenance.

Before the establishment of independence, the Boe State was only an ethnic autonomous region of the Republic of There. According to the agreement at that time, a referendum would be held at the appropriate time to determine its future, so the Boi Autonomous Region maintained good relations with the Liangxia Empire until the outbreak of the Polish-Iraqi War.

At that time, the militia of the Boi Autonomous Region received a lot of light weapons with the assistance of the Liangxia Empire.

During the struggle for independence, the Poian army captured a large amount of weapons and equipment.

The point is that when the Republic of There abandoned the Boi region, it discarded a large amount of main battle equipment that could not be taken away.

This includes about 300 fighter jets and almost 1,500 main battle tanks.

These weapons and equipment are all genuine Liang Xia goods.

Even after the end of the Polish-Iraqi War, hundreds of fighters and 600 tanks were still in service with the Polish-Iraqi army, and in the subsequent Iran-Iraq war, it became the main combat equipment of the Polish-Iraqi army, playing a mainstay role in the first two years of the war.

Although in the Iran-Iraq War, Poland and the Newland Republic were friendly and purchased a lot of Nuland weapons, including the F-14A fighter known as the "Persian Cat", which was in the limelight during the Iran-Iraq War, but due to the limitation of national strength, the Polish-Iraq State still retained a large number of weapons and equipment of the Liangxia Empire.

To this day, these weapons, which were produced 20 years ago, or even 30 years ago, are still in service with the Polish army.

In order to maintain combat readiness, the Polish-Polish country has been spending large sums of money to buy usable second-hand parts through smuggling channels and black market arms dealers.

At the beginning of the year, the Imperial Navy intercepted a freighter carrying a large number of tank engines in the Mua Sea, and the ship's destination was the port of Boi.

According to the investigation, these tank engines were all bought by Poland on the international arms black market.

It is conservatively estimated that it can meet the maintenance needs of 300 main battle tanks for 5 years.

In the Poi Army, the 300 sold to the Republic of There more than 20 years ago, the post-war second-generation main battle tanks are still the absolute mainstay.

Actually, this is also Bai Huamin's first card.

As long as the Boi authorities promised to remain neutral, the Liangxia Empire could downplay the matter and guarantee that the ship would arrive at the ports of the Boi Kingdom by the end of the year.

However, this is certainly not enough.

Relatively speaking, what the Boyi State needs most now is actually the lifting of economic sanctions by the Liangxia Empire.

To put it more bluntly, it is to allow Poland to enter the international trading system settled by gold dollars, so that it can easily export oil.

The point is, Poland is also an oil power!

In terms of reserves, Poland is the world's fifth-largest oil reserve, the third-largest in the Posha Bay region, and second only to Saudi Arabia and Iraq.

Poland is also the world's No. 1 natural gas reserve country in Posha Bay and the second largest in the world.

Unfortunately, because of the sanctions imposed by the Liangxia Empire, the scale of oil exports from the Boyi Kingdom has not been large.

Popuis has the largest population in the Poshawan region, the second largest land area, and not a barren resource, but it has never been able to become the number one power in the region.

The key to this is that it has been sanctioned by the Liang Xia Empire in an all-round way.

According to the official statistics of the country of Poland, just because the oil trade cannot be settled in gold dollars, the country loses about 6 billion gold dollars in foreign exchange earnings every year.

Last year, Poland's total foreign exchange earnings were only 11 billion gold dollars.

In their internal propaganda, the Poi authorities have always attributed their difficulties on all fronts to the comprehensive sanctions imposed by the Liangxia Empire.

It is precisely in this case that at this critical moment, the authorities of the Boyi State will definitely propose to let the Liangxia Empire lift economic sanctions.

For this reason, Bai Huamin was also prepared.

Before Riyadh got on the plane, she also had a special phone call with Shousuke, and Shousuke made it clear that he could make concessions on oil settlements, and the full lifting of economic sanctions would require more in-depth negotiations, or that there was no such possibility for the time being.

In Zhou's words, what the Polishian authorities want is to let the oil they produce enter the international market.

Before meeting Raya, Bai Huamin was still a little worried.

In any case, the confrontation between the Boi State and the Liangxia Empire has lasted for nearly 30 years, and the Liangxia Empire has been regarded as the number one enemy for several generations, so even if the Boi authorities know that now is not the time to fight against the Liangxia Empire, they will definitely speak out on the issue of neutrality.

The point is that it is actually the Liangxia Empire that needs the Boi Kingdom to remain neutral now.

To put it mildly, as long as the Polish state strengthens its combat readiness and deploys more combat troops in the Strait of Hormuz and the Low Countries, when the Liangxia Empire launches a war against Iraq, it will inevitably be a rat and the liberation of Kuwait will also be affected.

In fact, the political and diplomatic influence alone is huge enough.

For example, the countries on the southern shore of Posha Bay, led by Saudi Arabia, have always regarded the country as the number one threat, so they will certainly not turn a blind eye to the country's actions. If Saudi Arabia and other countries insist on strengthening their military deployment against Poland, they will inevitably have reservations in the direction facing Iraq.

On the contrary, the Boi Kingdom did not need the mercy of the Liang Xia Empire.

The sanctions have been maintained for more than ten years, and the country of Poland has survived and continues to maintain it for a few months, what's the big deal?

In addition, no matter what reputation the Boyi State makes at home, even if it is an immediate war mobilization, as long as the Boyi army does not cross the national border, the Liangxia Empire can only watch.

In the past ten years, whenever there was a change in the deployment of the Liangxia Empire on this side of Posha Bay, the Polish-Iraqi Congress immediately adjusted the military deployment or held military exercises. No matter how arrogant the Liangxia Empire was, it was impossible for the Polish-Iraqi army to conduct military exercises as a casus belli.

It can be seen that the initiative in this negotiation is in the hands of the Polish authorities.

It is precisely for this reason that this time it is a request for negotiation made by the Liang Xia authorities through a third party.

Seeing Raya, especially after hearing the Liangxia language spoken by Raya, Bai Huamin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The Boi Kingdom sent a female diplomat who had lived in the Liangxia Empire for 12 years to negotiate secretly, expressing the same hope for a result.

Actually, it's not surprising at all.

The Boyi Kingdom does regard the Liangxia Empire as the number one enemy, but no one in the Boyi Kingdom regards the complete victory of the Liangxia Empire as the goal of struggle.

In the confrontation with the Liangxia Empire, the Boi State was always in a state of strategic defense.

Relatively speaking, the threat from Iraq is more realistic.

The eight-year Iran-Iraq war is the most convincing piece of evidence.

As long as the leaders of the Boi Kingdom have a little brains, they will not add to the blockage of the Liangxia Empire at this time, but will pray that the Liangxia Empire will take down the military dictator of Iraq.

At the strategic level, only when Iraq is on its stomach can the Polish-Iraqi state be expected to become the number one power in Posha Bay.

As long as the powerful government on the plain of the two rivers remains, then the Boi army can only stay honestly on the Persian plateau.

So, what reason is there to restrain the Liang Xia Empire?
