Chapter 364: Heartbeat

When Crown Prince Mohammed explained the situation, Wang Dong was secretly smiling bitterly.

The crown prince is too affordable!

Bitter smile to bitter smile, Wang Dong did not show it, he still listened carefully with a serious face, looked very serious, and was very concerned about the war situation in Iraq.

In fact, Wang Dong is weighing a problem.

What are Razak's odds?

The disparity in strength remained enormous, with the rebels having about twenty brigades, at least twelve of which were at their disposal, excluding the troops defending the north, while the government forces had only six brigades, only one of which had been formed before the war, and only two of the other five had received the necessary weapons.

The only advantage of the government forces is the air force, which is almost negligible after getting rid of the air power of the Arab League.

Of course, in the long run, the government forces have a good chance of winning.

After all, the Arab League countries, led by Saudi Arabia, have publicly expressed their support for Razak, are also mobilizing troops, and are still providing assistance.

The only thing the rebels can count on is Iran, and Iran is clearly not going to openly send troops into the war.

The premise is that the government forces can withstand the attack of the rebels.

In terms of time, the government army will hold out for at least two more months.

Quite simply, it will take at least two months for the Arab League to deploy ground troops, and it will take two months for all aid from Pakistan to arrive.

With the strength of the government army, will it be able to hold out for two months?

Obviously, this is a huge cliffhanger.

As long as the rebels learn their lessons, bloody battles like those like those in Semavo will not happen again.

Quite simply, the rebels made a serious mistake in Semavo by not anticipating the Arab League's entry into the war and therefore not committing enough troops.

If the rebels prepare in advance and commit enough troops at a time, they can take Semavo in ten days at most.

Then, when attacking Nasiriyah, the rebels will take into account the threat of the Arab League and will invest enough troops.

In fact, this is one of the main reasons why the rebels did not immediately march into Nasiriyah.

Because the government army does not have enough troops, and it will not be able to organize enough troops in the short term, as long as the rebels launch an offensive within half a month, and invest enough troops, such as six brigades, to launch a general offensive after the encirclement, it is expected that it will take half a month to take Nasiriyah.

After losing Nasiriyah, the government forces had no chance of turning the tables.

It can be seen that there is still plenty of time for the rebels.

As for the government forces, there is still no hope in sight.

Thinking of this, Wang Dong couldn't help but sigh.

It's not that Razak isn't good enough, it's that the opponents he met were too powerful.

You know, Karim is the hero who defeated Mosul, perhaps the most powerful general in Iraq, and his ability to command operations is by no means comparable to Razak.

"I've promised Lazak."

Wang Dong was slightly stunned, and looked up at Crown Prince Mohammed.

"Within five days, our four mechanized infantry brigades will be on the northern border, and Kuwait will have a brigade of troops. If we have no choice, we will have to go into battle until the other allies have completed their deployment. Although we will suffer huge losses, we must not watch Razak finish, let alone see Iraq become a vassal of Iran, even if we will confront Iran as a result. ”

"Your Highness......"

"As long as the rebels take Nasiriyah, we have no choice."

"Judging from the current situation, the rebels may not be able to attack immediately, and the difficulty of attacking Nasiriyah is certainly not below that of Semavo, so ......"

"Just yesterday evening, at least six brigades of rebels moved south and are expected to reach Semavo within three days."

Wang Dong was shocked and looked at Crown Prince Mohammed in disbelief.

"I also just received this information, so we haven't sent it to Basra so as not to affect the morale of the government army."

"Six brigades?"

"It's all the main forces, and there are at least three mechanized infantry brigades and one armored brigade, and most likely the 'Holy Land Lions' brigade." Crown Prince Mohammed paused for a moment and added, "This brigade, also known as the 'Karim' brigade, is the number one trump card of the rebels. ”

Wang Dong nodded slightly, indicating that he knew this.

The "Lion of the Holy Land" brigade is the official name, while the "Karim" brigade is the civilian name, from which Kareem came and served as the brigade commander.

In the battle for the liberation of Mosul, the "Karim" brigade, together with the "Mosul" brigade, served as the main force.

Since then, the "Mosul" brigade has been transferred back to Baghdad and integrated into the capital garrison, while the "Karim" brigade has been surrounded by extremists involved in the fight.

Of course, it is also responsible for the suppression of the Kurds.

In addition, the "Karim" brigade is the only armored brigade in Iraq, with nearly two hundred M1A1 main battle tanks, as well as more than two hundred infantry fighting vehicles.

In terms of combat effectiveness, the "Karim" brigade is definitely the strongest in the Iraqi army.

What does Karim want to do?

Send the number one ace, and three mechanized infantry brigades, as well as two infantry brigades!

Could it be that Karim wants to take down Nasiriyah and Basra in one fell swoop?

Obviously, this possibility is not impossible.

If Karim thinks that the Arab League will send troops in the near future, then he is likely to use siege tactics against Nasiriyah and then take Basra directly.

Although the stakes are high, the odds of victory are not very good, but as long as the road from Basra to Kuwait is cut off, Karim will be invincible.

Perhaps, his aim was to cut off that strategic highway.

In this case, in the next few days, the rebels will set out from Semavo.

"Your Highness means ......"

"I've got the transport plane ready for you, and I've contacted Razak. After you arrive, you will be the front-line commander and will be responsible for special operations missions on the frontline. Razak will give you a suitable identity and grant you the privileges accordingly. ”

"But ......"

"No one but you can turn the tide, and Razak only trusts you. Of course, I wouldn't entrust such an important task to anyone else. ”

Wang Dong sighed, the crown prince's trust is a big mountain.

"As for the cost, don't worry about it at all."

"Your Highness, it's not about money."

"I know you don't value money, it's just that your men have to provide for their families. After this war is over, I will build you a city, a city that belongs only to you. ”

Wang Dong was secretly surprised, this is a big deal.

"This is my promise to you, and you know, I have never broken my word."

"I need some time."

"How many days?"

"Just one day, early tomorrow morning, I will give His Highness a more confident plan."

Wang Dong agreed, he had no way to refuse the price offered by Crown Prince Mohammed, you know, a city is too tempting.
