Chapter 424: Forcibly snatched
With Wang Dong's order, dozens of operatives immediately raised their guns in their hands.
The commander of the sentry post was still a little hesitant, but after Wang Dong came over, mainly by Zhang Zilan with a gun to his forehead, he immediately made a wise decision.
In Basra, there is no one who does not know Wang Dong.
He is "Nasiriyah's Savior" and "Iraq's Best Friend", and in the repeatedly played propaganda films, Wang Dong's camera is second only to Razak and Nanijel.
In addition, Xie Chuyue and Zhang Zilan are the gods of war in the eyes of government officers and soldiers.
In fact, the vast majority of the current officers of the Iraqi government army have received training and were once trainees under instructors such as Xie Chuyue.
The same goes for the post commander.
Obviously, no matter how bold these officers and men are, they will never dare to be serious with the instructors.
Subsequently, the operatives confiscated all the weapons of the officers and men and returned them to the barracks, without direct orders.
After Wang Dong and the others entered the port, the 10 operators who stayed behind blocked the only road with their vehicles.
Along the way, they met many guards and soldiers, but it didn't take much effort, Xie Chuyue and Zhang Zilan asked these officers and soldiers to obediently hand over their weapons.
After controlling the dock, Wang Dong did not rush to let the operatives seize the main battle equipment, but let Wang Haotian do it first.
Of course, there are not only Wang Haotian, but also some technicians.
They didn't do anything else, just unload the control chips on these main battle equipment.
You must know that whether it is a main battle tank, an infantry fighting vehicle or a self-propelled gun, as long as the engine is installed, there is a control chip that can be started.
It's very simple, now all the CNC engines are used.
Even if there is no engine installed and cannot be started, such as towed artillery, other subsystems have special control chips.
To put it simply, the more advanced the equipment, the higher the degree of digitalization, and the more dependent it is on the control chip.
Without these chips, the main battle equipment becomes an ornament.
After doing this, Wang Dong asked the operatives to start selecting the main battle equipment that could be used, mainly tanks, combat vehicles and self-propelled guns.
Because of the limited number of personnel brought, in fact, there are not many people in Basra, so each main battle equipment can only be assigned one driver.
Of course, drive away these main battle equipment, that is enough.
Soon, thirty Khalid main battle tanks, forty BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicles, twenty M109A3 self-propelled howitzers and forty Piharan wheeled armored vehicles lined up on the road outside the pier, and the operatives began to refuel these vehicles.
Obviously, the main battle equipment in the best condition was selected.
Interestingly, the BMP-3 and "Piharan" originally belonged to Saudi Arabia, but were given to Pakistan only a few years ago, and now they have been bought.
These BMP-3s were originally purchased by the UAE from Russia, and during the war in Yemen, the Saudis acquired these tanks on a rent-to-own basis.
After using it for a while, the problem came to light.
That is, Russia refuses to provide after-sales guarantees for these infantry fighting vehicles, because the UAE has broken its promise not to transfer them to other countries.
Saudi Arabia had no choice but to send all these infantry fighting vehicles to Pakistan in the form of military assistance.
However, Pakistan obviously does not want to collect the rags, and it is unable to maintain these tanks, so it has to mothball, maybe in the future.
No, it's going to be used now.
As for the ammunition, it is provided by the UAE, albeit in limited quantities.
In fact, the ammunition sent was accidentally discovered by the UAE army during the inventory of the stockpile, and many of them had passed the maximum storage period.
Of course, something is better than nothing.
The "Piharan" armored car is from Saudi Arabia and is purchased by Saudi Arabia from Canada.
On the battlefield in Yemen, this armored vehicle is the main battle equipment of the Royal Saudi Army, but the flaw is too prominent, that is, it is very easy to be destroyed by rockets.
As a result, the Saudis decided to purchase a heavy tank to replace all the vehicles.
The rest of the "Piharan" was lost to Pakistan along with those BMP-3s.
Fortunately, most of the "Piharan" are well maintained, and the supporting ammunition is also easy to solve, because Saudi Arabia and Pakistan have a lot of stockpiles.
That is, only tanks with self-propelled guns really came from Pakistan.
These main battle equipment were shipped with very little fuel at sea, so the tanks had to be filled before leaving port.
By the time Wang Dong and the others were doing these things, the news had already spread.
Hearing the gunshots, Wang Dong immediately called Xie Chuyue, Zhang Zilan and others, and after instructing the others to continue, went to the outpost that began to be occupied.
The first to arrive was the government troops stationed nearby, led by a major general with a power of attorney.
It was the operatives who fired the shots, and only fired warning shots to stop the government forces.
Because he didn't figure out the situation, the major general didn't dare to mess around.
When he saw Wang Dong, he understood.
At this time, another government army arrived, and the general who led the team also obtained Razak's power of attorney.
Wang Dong didn't rush to negotiate with the generals, anyway, he couldn't leave for a while, so it was better to wait and see how many people would come.
Over the next half hour, five government forces arrived.
Of course, the operators brought by Wang Dong also drove out the main battle equipment that was fully fueled.
The situation couldn't be more obvious, Wang Dong did not get the authorization, and took the operatives to snatch the equipment without authorization, which was a mutiny to put it more seriously.
It's just that Wang Dong and the others are not Iraqi government troops, and they have nothing to do with the "mutiny".
The situation has also become tense, and the government army will obviously not let Wang Dong and them drive away their own main battle equipment, and Wang Dong will never return empty-handed.
At this time, Wang Dong did one thing.
In front of thousands of government officers and soldiers, Mr. Wang put the electronic chips in a plastic bag and sprinkled them with gasoline.
After taking a few steps, Wang Dong lit a cigarette.
No matter how bad the officers and men of the Iraqi government army were, there were a few who knew how to do it, and they immediately realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately reported it to their superiors.
Soon, the seven generals who led the team understood.
As long as Wang Dong burns those electronic chips, all the main battle equipment will have to be scrapped.
Forcibly snatched?
What's the use of snatching back a pile of scrap metal?
Stop there?
Obviously, no general is willing.
This is Iraq, the temporary capital of the Razak regime, let a group of mercenaries spread the wilderness here, spread out, where to put face?
Also, who will withdraw first?
Although the seven generals were all apprehensive, for the sake of face, none of them would leave first, and everyone had to stay.
It was only to stay, because no general dared to take the lead.
At this point, only Razak can solve the problem.
