Like the Arab League countries, Iran left behind a large amount of heavy equipment at the time of the withdrawal.

In fact, during this month, Iran did not help the Karim regime regain much of the lost territory, but did its best to arm the Karim regime.

After a month's delay, when China was about to lose patience, Iran announced the withdrawal of its troops, but only in the hope of keeping the Karim regime.

So, is that the end of the Iraqi civil war?

Obviously, it's still early.

Although after Iran officially announced the withdrawal of its troops from Iraq, Huaxia took the initiative to mediate, proposing that the warring parties immediately conduct ceasefire and armistice negotiations, and even proposed that after the truce was achieved, it was willing to help Iraq rebuild, but an extremely critical issue made the warring parties in the Iraqi civil war not immediately sit down at the negotiating table, but broke out several large-scale battles one after another.

What's the problem?

Legality!

You must know that even at this time, the vast majority of countries such as Huaxia only recognized the Razak regime, and did not recognize the Karim regime, which controlled Baghdad.

In that case, where did the negotiations come from?

Legally speaking, Karim's regime is illegitimate, and he is not qualified to govern, so he has no right to discuss the issue of governing with Lazak.

To put it bluntly, Razak does not recognize the Karim regime and is unwilling to negotiate with the Karim regime.

At the time, Razak made it clear that it was not about a truce, but about how to blame Karim, so Karim had to consider whether he would stay on trial or go into exile.

Now, there is no need to talk about it.

If you can't talk about it, then keep fighting.

As a result, after the beginning of the withdrawal of Iranian troops, Razak personally gave the order for the government forces under the command of Nanijal to launch an offensive against Baghdad.

Of course, it's just an order.

Nanigal carried out Razak's orders, but did not do his best, or rather merely put on a show.

To put it bluntly, how to march to Baghdad?

To the south of Baghdad, there are several rebel-controlled cities that will not even be able to touch the gates of Baghdad until they are captured.

It was obviously not easy to capture Sheila and Karbala.

In addition, on the Kut side, the two sides are still in a state of standoff.

It can be seen that relying only on the combat strength of the Iraqi government army, it is impossible to advance the front to Baghdad in less than half a year.

Razak did not listen to the command, and the first person who was anxious was Muhammad.

To put it bluntly, with such a dozen, the previous efforts will be in vain.

Is it possible to send ground forces into the war again?

This time, Crown Prince Mohammed did not let Wang Dong pass, but sent Saleh over, and sent a cousin who had a little reputation in the royal family to Basra, and made it clear to Razak that if he continued to make such nonsense, Saudi Arabia would no longer provide military assistance to Basra.

Warned by Crown Prince Mohammed, Razak became honest.

On the third day after the attack was ordered, Razak issued another order for Nanijal to halt the offensive and return to Basra.

Fortunately, Wang Dong was in Nasiriyah at the time.

As Nanijal set off for Basra, Wang Dong stopped him and told him to stay in Nasiriyah on the grounds that the situation on the front line was unstable.

As for why, Wang Dong did not say clearly.

Of course, in order to deal with Lazak, Wang Dong returned to Basra as chief of staff instead of Nanijal to report to Basra.

To put it bluntly, Razak has already seen Nanijel as a threat and is trying to get rid of Nanijel.

It's a pity that it was Wang Dong who came back.

What's even more regrettable is that Razak obviously underestimated the relationship between Wang Dong and Nanijer, and underestimated Wang Dong's tough hand in dealing with the chaos.

After returning to Basra, Wang Dong ordered Tiehu to take over the security of the Provisional Prime Minister's Office.

Don't forget, before that, Wang Dong had already taken control of the provisional prime minister's office and arranged his own personnel, but he did not restrict Razak's daily activities.

All Wang Dong is doing now is putting Razak under house arrest.

In any case, Razak remains the legitimate leader of Iraq, and is recognized by the international community as a front-line general.

If Nanijel were to replace Razak at this time, what would be the difference between him and Karim?

Next, there are armistice negotiations.

Of course, the first thing to be sure of is a ceasefire.

After several days of negotiations, the two sides finally reached a provisional agreement that neither side would cross the existing front line during the armistice negotiations.

Another half a month later, representatives of the two sides met for the first time in Cairo, the capital of Egypt.

Why Cairo?

It is not that Huaxia is unwilling to provide a venue for negotiations, but that the Karim authorities insist that negotiations should take place in an Arab country.

Of course, it certainly cannot be the country that sent troops to support Lazak.

In this case, only Egypt is the most suitable.

At the first meeting, it was only determined the method of negotiation, and in what capacity the Karim regime would negotiate with the Razak regime.

The key remains the legitimacy of the Karim regime.

After several consultations, the parties each made a compromise not to discuss the legitimacy of the Karim regime for the time being, in exchange for control of Baghdad, which is the capital and sole political centre of Iraq, to be included in the negotiations.

To put it simply, if the talks are successful, then the Karim regime will have to hand over Baghdad, not continue to dominate Baghdad.

Since then, the two sides have signed their first formal negotiation agreement.

Only then did the Iraqi civil war come to an end.

To be precise, it was only the end of the civil war between the Razak regime and the Karim regime.

Why?

The Kurds were not invited to this negotiation, so the legitimate government established after the negotiations may not have a place for the Kurds.

Suffice it to say, this is a big problem.

You know, the Kurds are also the main group in Iraq.

Is it possible to exclude the Kurds?

One way or another, at least the civil war is over.

With the official start of the armistice negotiations, Huaxia also lifted the military embargo on Saudi Arabia and all Arab League countries in accordance with its previous commitments.

And, of course, Iran.

It's just that the only countries that can really take out real money to purchase arms in China are Saudi Arabia and other Arab League countries.

Why?

Russia's aid to Iran is not free.

More importantly, Iran's top priority is to develop its economy, not to build up its armaments, and there is no need to spend too many resources on the military, at least for the time being.

Of course, Saudi Arabia also took action at the first time.

Muhammad originally planned to ask Wang Dong to come out, but after coming into contact with Yunlong, he gave up this idea and sent a cousin to Huaxia.

Not only because Wang Dong is inconvenient, but also because there are more important things.
