In fact, the Pakistani authorities are also very clear that they cannot offend the Saudi Arabian financier.

You know, in the past few decades, Saudi Arabia has provided at least billions of dollars in aid to Pakistan every year, and also helped Pakistan purchase weapons and equipment during the war, without Saudi assistance, Pakistan simply would not have been able to obtain so many advanced weapons.

After Saleh expressed displeasure, Pakistan's defense minister proposed a compromise.

That is, Saudi Arabia will provide a loan guarantee and repay it with Saudi aid military spending to help Pakistan import replacement weapons and equipment from China.

Of course, the Saudis' funds for the purchase of Pakistan's active equipment are used as a down payment.

Although in the end, Saudi Arabia will still pay for it, but the payment period will be extended to 20 years, and Saudi Arabia will not need to pay tens of billions of dollars immediately.

According to Pakistan's assessment, if the Iraqi government army only armed with Razak, the down payment can be controlled within $5 billion.

For the next two decades, Saudi Arabia will only need to spend $2 billion a year.

Obviously, this is an acceptable scenario.

You must know that even in peacetime, Saudi Arabia provides more than $2 billion in aid to Pakistan every year, and in the future, it will only give a little less aid.

After the basic agreement was reached, Musharraf returned to Riyadh.

The Pakistani authorities promised to sell weapons and equipment, but they did not promise to provide personnel training and, more precisely, refused to send official personnel to Iraq.

For good reason, Pakistan does not want to get involved in a war related to Iran.

In this regard, Crown Prince Mohammed expressed his understanding.

Quite simply, two of the most powerful Islamic countries, Pakistan and Turkey, have always played the role of peacemakers.

In addition, Pakistan is the only Islamic country with nuclear weapons, so Pakistan remains stable, which is beneficial to all Islamic countries.

If Pakistan were to get involved in this war, the situation would surely spiral out of control.

Musharraf, of course, received an affirmative answer from the Pakistani military.

After the aid begins, the Pakistani military will arrange personnel to go to Saudi Arabia and then to Iraq as employees of Angu Company.

In fact, this is the best result that can be obtained.

In the past few days, the situation of the civil war in Iraq has also changed dramatically.

On the fifth day of the civil war, the vanguard of the rebels reached Semavo and launched an attack, but was quickly routed by Semavo's government forces.

At this time, the rebels learned that the government army had sent an additional infantry brigade to Semavo.

After three days, the rebels made a comeback.

This time, it was the "Mosul" brigade and the "Kirkuk" brigade that were killed.

Both brigades are ace units.

However, the rebels failed to replicate the victory in Najaf.

In the limited time they had, government forces strengthened the defenses of Semavo and took control of the bridgehead on the Tigris River after defeating the rebel vanguard.

The point is that the Iraqi Air Force pledged allegiance to Razak and participated in the defense of Semawah.

Although the Iraqi Air Force does not have a few decent combat aircraft, the rebels also do not have decent anti-aircraft weapons, let alone anti-aircraft missiles, not even anti-aircraft guns.

Anti-aircraft weapons of the rebels, mainly anti-aircraft machine guns.

The air strikes effectively delayed the rebels' movement north of Semavo, greatly boosted the morale of the government forces, and bought them ample time.

It can be said that without the support of the Air Force, the government forces will definitely not be able to hold the bridgehead.

However, how long can this situation last?

You know, as long as the rebels break through the defense line set up by the government forces along the Tigris River and attack the city of Semavo, the support of the air force will be greatly reduced.

In the city, the government forces are certainly no match for the rebels.

In addition, the Iraqi Air Force not only lacks combat aircraft, but also ammunition and fuel, and even does not have enough spare parts to ensure that all aircraft can take off properly.

Maybe in a week, maybe half a month, the Iraqi Air Force will lose its ability to sort.

It's just that the performance of the Iraqi Air Force in Semawa has given hope to Saudi Arabia and other countries.

On the same day that the "Mosul" and "Kirkuk" brigades were in Samawa, Crown Prince Mohammed convened a summit meeting of the League of Arab States in Riyadh.

At the invitation of Saudi Arabia, the heads of state or special envoys of the Arab League member states of Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain attended the meeting.

Despite the concerns expressed by the Egyptian side, thanks to the efforts of Crown Prince Mohammed, all member states of the League of Arab States agreed that it was the obligation of the League to support the democratically elected government of Iraq.

Subsequently, Razak formally invited the Arab League to send troops to help quell the rebellion.

Now, the international community is lively.

The next day, the UN Security Council once again adopted a resolution on the Iraqi civil war, calling on both sides of the Iraqi civil war and all relevant parties to exercise restraint, immediately stop military operations, resolve disputes through negotiation and consultation, and restore stability and peace in Iraq.

Just appealing, not mandatory.

As for Razak's invitation to the Arab League to send troops to quell the rebellion, that is sovereignty.

Let's not forget that, with the exception of Iran and Syria, other countries still recognize the democratically elected government led by Razak as the legitimate regime in Iraq.

In addition, Iraq is a member of the League of Arab States.

From this point of view, Razak's invitation to the Arab League to send troops has not expanded beyond the region, and is still largely an internal affair of the Arab League.

At the time of the UN appeal, the League of Arab States had already begun to act.

Not to send troops into battle, but to prepare for it.

According to the agreement, Saudi Arabia opened the King Khalid military city to several Arab League countries that promised to send troops, and provided logistical support.

Following Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Oman each sent a squadron of fighter jets to King Khalid Military City.

Subsequently, Jordan sent a squadron of fighters to Kuwait.

If all goes well, the number of combat aircraft deployed in King Khalid Military City and Kuwait will reach 600, including 400 fighters from the Royal Saudi Air Force.

Obviously, Saudi Arabia is the big brother who takes the lead.

Ground forces are also stepping up their deployment, albeit at a much slower pace due to transport capacity.

Saudi Arabia has decided to send two more brigades to King Khalid Military City, bringing the ground force to six brigades, with a total strength of nearly 30,000.

In addition, there was a partial military mobilization in Kuwait.

It's just that Kuwait's military strength is already very weak, and the army has only two brigades in total, which is insignificant even if all of them are mobilized.

As for the ground forces of other Arab League countries, it will take at least three months to deploy in place.

Actually, it's already fast.

In the past, it would have taken me a year and a half to complete the deployment and assembly.

So, will the Razak regime be able to hold out until the day when the Arab League sends troops?
