Chapter 343: Plan and then Act

The Kurds are one of the oldest ethnic groups in Western Asia, the fourth largest ethnic group in the Middle East after the Arabs, Turks, and Persians. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The Kurds, numbering as many as 30 million people, are scattered across parts of Iraq, Iran, Syria and Turkey, and have never had a country of their own. In order to be able to control their own destiny, they are constantly waging wars of independence, and it is really hard to say who is right and who is wrong.

The Kurdish forces in northern Iraq are not extremist terrorists, but a group of ordinary people fighting to form their own country, mainly through armed struggle, so they are regarded by Saddam Hussein as a thorn in the side and have repeatedly suppressed this force.

But with the Iran-Iraq War and the Gulf War, the Kurds once again gained space to live, and under the protection of Britain and the United States, the Kurdish Autonomous Region was formed. The Iraqi government certainly does not want a part of its territory to be carved out, and the same is true for Turkey, Syria, and even more so for Iran.

The key point is that if such a large area of land across four countries is formed into a new country, the core of these four countries will be exposed to each other's guns, and the security problem is extremely serious.

According to Wu Chen's thinking, there is nothing unreasonable about these Kurds seeking independence, and it is also in Iraq's interests for Saddam to protect the integrity of the country, after all, the Kurdish autonomous region occupies half of the country's oil and gas resources, and the number has reached as many as 50 billion barrels, which is simply a cornucopia, and it is impossible for Iraq to give up this area.

The situation in the Kurd Autonomous Region is different from that of the Golden Triangle, which is a zone in the true sense of the word, and has a serious lack of mineral resources, which is recognized in the world, so there was not much resistance to the establishment of the country, even if it fought with the Burmese army. If the Golden Triangle also becomes a cornucopia, it will definitely face a joint attack by the three countries, and to put it bluntly, it is still due to interests.

Saddam's determination cannot be changed, and this problem must be solved, but if he really wants Wu Chen to take military measures against the Kurds, he is also very entangled in his heart, this kind of historical legacy is a big problem.

But Iraq's oil and gas are very important to the Golden Triangle Federation, and they are also very important to China, and the conditions offered by Saddam Hussein are attractive enough, Wu Chen has been entangled for a long time, and decided to call the high-level people to Saudi Arabia, convene a military meeting, and listen to everyone's opinions before making major decisions.

The Desert Palace is the private palace of His Majesty the King of Saudi Arabia, and because of its peculiarity, it is generally used to receive big figures at the level of heads of state. As the president of Iraq, Saddam Hussein has such qualifications, and Wu Chen also has such qualifications.

In fact, strictly speaking, even the Americans do not know as clearly as the Saudi royal family, Wu Chen is the highest decision-maker of the Golden Triangle Federation and the invisible controller of the Golden Triangle mercenary corps.

His Majesty the King of Saudi Arabia gave a lot of face, and in a luxurious conference room in the palace, Wu Chen saw Thompson and Hunter who flew over overnight, they are the real Golden Triangle, when the mercenary corps was named, Wu Chen was this intention. In addition, there were commanders of various arms and Macas, and even Xu Zilin also attended the meeting.

Saudi Arabia has approved Atlantis Mineral Resources' oil concessions, and Iraq has tens of billions of barrels of oil to be extracted, and she, the CEO, must be aware of the developments and processes so that reasonable arrangements can be made.

"Boss, I think your thinking has entered a misunderstanding, we don't want to do anything to the Kurd forces, these people are like our mercenaries, they are all duckweed without roots, but we can help them get a homeland!"

"Where the largest Kurdish people live, in the southeast of Turkey, and in many places along the border with Iraq, these armed men must know that they can't beat our mercenary corps, and they are supported by our weapons and equipment, and they are funded by the Iraqi government, and they are provided with temporary shelters and training bases, the question is not so difficult!" Hunter said with a smile.

"It makes sense, I also agree with this opinion, not only to help the Kurds build a new home in Turkey, but also to support them to get land in northeastern Syria, so that it is enough to form a new country, these people are born warriors, can absorb our mercenary corps, and the two sides form a strategic alliance, which is a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone!" Marcas also said.

Are you all souls traveling through time and space? Wu Chen felt familiar with these two methods, and what was paralyzing was a copy of the Kuerde problem!

This idea is spoiled, but he thinks it is very reliable, and he has an indescribable disgust towards Turkey, a country that has no moral credibility in doing things, and he has no pressure to harm this country.

So, half an hour later, Saddam Hussein met with the elites of the mercenary legion, the absolute elite of the army, and the core command system members of the world's largest mercenary organization. Hearing this unbelievable method, he agreed after a little thought, and it was not Iraq that was the calamity, what kind of heart did he worry about for others?

Marcas arrived in Iraq on behalf of the mercenary corps and negotiated with Saddam Hussein on relevant weapons and equipment cooperation matters, in modern high-tech warfare, the technical content of weapons and equipment is a very key factor, and the current Iraqi government's most elite National Guard, most of the old equipment used in the former Soviet Union, which is not enough to confront the British and American forces.

After many negotiations, the two sides finally finalized a three-year dressing plan, which opened Marcas's eyes, no wonder the boss Wu Chen tried his best to develop the military industry, which is the real profiteering industry!

In terms of the air force, the Iraqi Government has purchased 100 Shield Defender-1 roadbed all-weather heavy fighters at a price of $260 million each, and 100 Su-27 fighters at a price of $40 million each. At a price of $60 million each, Russia will purchase 50 Su-34 fighter-bombers that will soon be put into production.

The Army, for its part, purchased 500 Abrams main battle tanks at a price of $10 million each, 500 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles at a price of $5 million each, and 100 Tornado MLRS at a price of $26 million each.

With regard to air defense units, the Iraqi Government has purchased 100 Tunguska air defense systems at a price of $20 million each, 10 sets of Hunting Bow 1 air defense missile systems at a price of $50 million each, and three air defense missile battalions have been formed. At a price of $100 million each, five anti-aircraft warning radar systems and five passive radar systems were procured.
