Chapter 443: Who is the inner ghost

Looking at the battlefield situation map on the big screen, Wang Dong had an indescribable feeling.

As expected, after nightfall, the rebels launched another onslaught, and with great vigor to take Semavo and annihilate the government forces.

What made Wang Dong angry was that the rebels did not take Nasiriyah's defenders seriously at all.

The main forces of the rebels were all in the vicinity of Semavo, with only a few patrols to the east and a checkpoint about 40 kilometres east of Semavo.

Aren't the rebels afraid of a surprise attack by the Nasiriyah garrison?

Obviously, this only shows that the rebels are well aware of the situation of the Nasiriyah garrison and know that neither brigade on this side has any combat effectiveness.

In fact, there are only two battalions that can fight, that is, Wang Dong's forbidden army.

With just two battalions, how big of a threat can it be?

So, where did the rebels get this information?

Aerial reconnaissance?

Apparently impossible, the rebels did not have a few working aircraft, and after the Battle of Nasiriyah, the rebel combat planes never appeared again.

Satellite?

Iran has satellites, but there are not many of them, and they are not advanced.

Of course, Iran may be able to get support from Russia, which has a few reconnaissance satellites that are also considered advanced, at least able to distinguish between tanks and vehicles.

It's just that reconnaissance satellites can at most figure out the size of the Nasiriyah defenders, and it is impossible to figure out the nature of the defenders.

To put it bluntly, how can it be concluded that those who are trained in the barracks are freshly recruited militias, and not regular soldiers ready to go to war?

Two brigades are not small in strength and can launch at least one decent counterattack.

No matter how careless the rebels were, they should have deployed a brigade east of Semavo instead of sending a company to guard a checkpoint that could not be defended at all.

Apparently, the rebels certainly had inside intelligence.

To put it bluntly, the rebels were provided with information from within the government forces or within the Razak regime to let them know that Nasiriyah's defenders were not to be feared.

Who is a traitor?

Lyanna?

Or some officer you don't know?

When Xie Chuyue came in, Wang Dong was thinking about this question.

It could be Lyanna.

Quite simply, the crushing defeat of the government army in Semavo would have allowed the civil war to continue, and for a long time, very beneficial to the Anglo-Americans.

The point is that after Semavo besieged and annihilated the main forces of the government army, the rebels did not win a real victory.

Let's not forget that the Arab League ground forces have already entered Iraq and are deployed near Basra, and the Arab League has absolute air supremacy.

No matter how strong the rebels can fight, it is impossible to defeat the Arab League ground forces without air cover.

As long as Basra is still there and the Razak regime is there, the civil war will not end.

In addition, after the main force of the government army is finished, the Arab League ground forces will go to the battlefield and engage the rebels head-on, thus suffering huge losses.

When the time comes, Saudi Arabia and other tyrant countries will definitely buy arms all over the world.

For arms dealers in Europe and the United States, especially Britain and the United States, this means being able to get tens of billions, if not hundreds of billions of dollars, in orders immediately.

Quite simply, almost all of the main battle equipment of Saudi Arabia and other Arab League countries comes from the United Kingdom and the United States.

Because the procurement of other countries' main battle equipment requires a lot of time for the troops to be trained, from the perspective of enhancing the combat effectiveness of the troops as soon as possible, Saudi Arabia and other Arab League countries will focus on purchasing the main battle equipment they already have, and they will have to send orders to British and American arms dealers.

In fact, Saudi Arabia and other countries will even directly buy the active equipment of the United Kingdom and the United States.

Buying spot, it must be another price.

If they can earn tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars, and they can sell a large number of equipment that has been used for more than ten years or even decades at sky-high prices, what can Britain and the United States not do?

Taking the main battle tank as an example, the United States has a stock of thousands of them, and most of them have been in service for more than 20 years.

Although these M1A2 main battle tanks can continue to be used for decades, what is the disadvantage of selling them for a good price and then buying new tanks?

You must know that the main battle tank, codenamed M1A3, has been introduced, but due to budget constraints, the US military has not purchased it.

As for the UK, it has been looking for a home for the hundreds of Challenger 2s that have been mothballed.

Of course, there are also fighter jets, helicopters, infantry fighting vehicles, self-propelled howitzers, etc., and Saudi Arabia and other Arab League countries will definitely have to purchase ammunition in the near future.

All in all, the longer the Iraqi civil war is fought, the deeper the Arab League countries are trapped, and the more Britain and the United States will earn.

"I've already asked it."

Hearing this, Wang Dong looked at Xie Chuyue.

"That guy, when he went to the British Royal Military Cadet training, he was rebelled by MI6, and he has been providing intelligence to MI6 ever since."

Wang Dong frowned and picked up the cigarette on the table.

"Before the outbreak of the civil war, he received news from MI6 and immediately went to Basra, and subsequently took control of the commander of the air force with the assistance of MI6. According to his explanation, he insisted on launching an immediate counterattack, which was also the instruction of MI6, and he was just working for his British master. ”

"Just his confession?"

Xie Chuyue nodded and said, "His satellite phone was provided by MI6, but it can't be used as evidence, after all, you can buy it with money." As for the phone number that contacted him, I had Nicholas check it, it didn't exist, and it was the Internet address. ”

"Well, we can't accuse British intelligence with this."

Xie Chuyue sighed and said, "He confessed everything he knew, what should he do next?" ”

"Solitary confinement, don't let him die."

"Okay, I'll arrange it."

"Also, you go and interrogate him again to find out if he leaked information to the rebels, especially our information in Nasiriyah."

Xie Chuyue was slightly stunned, nodded and agreed.

When Xie Chuyue went out, Wang Dong extinguished the cigarette that he had only taken two puffs of.

When Xie Chuyue broke through from Semavo, he happened to meet the fleeing Yizhar, which can be said to be an unexpected gain, and these things explained by Yizar also proved Wang Dong's previous guess that he was indeed a British spy, but his confession was of little value.

Of course, he was able to find the right direction to break through, relying on the help of British intelligence.

So, did he betray the intelligence?

Wang Dong felt unlikely.

It's very simple, he has already opened his mouth to confess, with Xie Chuyue's interrogation methods, if it is really him, he will definitely be able to ask it, and he will tell Wang Dong.

Xie Chuyue did not mention this matter, indicating that Yizar did not explain this matter.

In addition, the rebels launched a surprise attack when Izhar was in Semavo.

If he had betrayed the information, he should have left Semavo before the rebels launched a surprise attack, rather than waiting until Semavo was surrounded.

Of course, if he was in harmony with the rebels, he didn't have to risk breaking through.

It's not him, who is it? 10
