Chapter 505: A Turning Point is Coming
De Wang Dong sighed very much, Muhammad is too tyrant.
Of course, this is the style of local tyrants.
"Your Highness, you should know that there is a prerequisite for purchasing these equipment from Huaxia." When Muhammad had finished his dinner, Wang Dong spoke.
"Of course, so I asked you to come over." Muhammad wiped his mouth, got up, made a gesture of please, and left the restaurant with Wang Dong.
Is it necessary to be so troublesome that you can't talk about things in a restaurant?
The study was upstairs, and the servants had already prepared tea and pastries, a pot of fragrant green tea, and a few Chinese-style pastries.
Obviously, the crown prince knew that Wang Dong did not have dinner, and specially prepared these pastries that met Wang Dong's appetite.
"How likely do you think Iran is to withdraw?"
"Zero."
Muhammad's brow jumped a few times before he sat down.
"If Iran withdraws now, the Karim regime will be doomed. On the contrary, if the Arab League withdraws its troops now, the Razak regime may not be finished. After a few months of fighting, the two sides of the current Iraqi civil war are very different. In the early days of the civil war, the biggest problem of the Razak regime was, firstly, the lack of combat troops, and secondly, the lack of main battle equipment. By now, both of these issues have been resolved, at least not as obvious as they were at first. On the contrary, the greatest advantage of the Karim regime in the early days of the civil war was that it had sufficient troops and a large number of main battle equipment. It can be seen that if the Arab League withdraws its troops from Iraq at the same time as Iran, then the Karim regime is very likely to lose this war in a few months. ”
"And you."
Wang Dong was slightly stunned, but then he understood.
In Iraq, he served as a senior adviser and honorary major general to the Iraqi government forces, and his operatives had been fighting for the Iraqi army.
"If Iran refuses to withdraw, why should we?"
"Your Highness, these are two different things."
"I think it's the same thing."
Wang Dong let out a long breath and said: "Actually, Huaxia's position has been loosened. At the very least, Huaxia's diplomatic statement mentions only the withdrawal of other countries from Iraq, and does not mention the provision of military assistance. In addition, the Razak regime is the legitimate regime in Iraq and is recognized by the international community. Saudi Arabia and other Arab League countries have provided military assistance to the Razak regime, which has not violated international law. ”
"This ......"
"Whatever one may say, the Karim regime is a rebel. Helping the legitimate regime of a country fight the rebels, no one can blame. ”
Muhammad frowned and pondered for a while before he said: "You mean that we will first withdraw our troops and support Razak in the form of aid?" ”
"At the very least, the ground forces must be withdrawn."
Muhammad was silent, still in thought.
"In fact, the most powerful of the Arab coalition forces is air power. Withdraw the ground forces first and put on a high posture. If Iran refuses to withdraw its troops at the same time, Saudi Arabia will have good reasons to persuade China to sell weapons. Similarly, as long as air supremacy remains in the hands of the Arab League, it can weaken the rebels' ground forces through air strikes, offset Iranian aid, and at least make Razak invincible. ”
"The problem is, we don't have a lot of ammunition left."
"Isn't that the solution?"
"You mean ......"
"As long as Huaxia agrees to sell weapons, do you still need to worry about ammunition? Of course, the ammunition of the Chinese will definitely not be used by European and American fighters. It's just that with Pakistan here, it will definitely be able to get enough JF-17 fighters in the short term. Because of the threat from Iran, a part of the fighters were assigned to carry out air supremacy missions. As long as tactical adjustments are made, the ammunition problem can be solved. ”
Muhammad pondered for a while before he said: "What I am most worried about now is that Razak will lose confidence after the Arab coalition forces withdraw. ”
"If he can't even bear this little twist and turn, what qualifications does he have to rule Iraq?"
Muhammad was stunned and looked at Wang Dong.
"Razak is just a puppet, and his previous performance has not been impressive. If he is not qualified, then another man will rule Iraq. ”
"Who?"
"General Nanijel."
"The Major General who fought alongside you in Nasiriyah?"
"Now I'm a lieutenant general."
"Do you think he can take on the job?"
Wang Dong nodded and said: "As far as I know, he is more courageous than Razak, and he hopes that peace and stability can be quickly restored in Iraq." What's more, he is a typical soldier, not so many fancy, and has little to do with Europe and the United States. ”
"It's true, there are too many powerful relationships involved in Razak."
"In the current situation, only the Arab League first announces the withdrawal of troops from Iraq, or at least the withdrawal of ground troops, can Iran be forced into a corner."
Muhammad let out a long breath and said: "I have always trusted your judgment, and you have never let me down. ”
"Your Highness......"
"I would consider withdrawing troops from Iraq, like you said, withdrawing ground troops first. It's just that it's hard to say when the troops will be withdrawn. After all, it was not only Saudi Arabia that sent troops to Iraq, but also other Arab League countries, and we failed to achieve our original goal. Before making a decision, I have to convince the other Arab League countries of the importance of a timely withdrawal of their troops from Iraq. Either way, I'll get back to you as soon as possible. When everything is arranged here, I hope you can return to Iraq. Like you said, Razak is not worth our continued investment. If you want to support Nanijal, you have to go and prepare. ”
Wang Dong nodded, indicating that he understood what Muhammad meant.
Although Saudi Arabia is the leader of the Arab League, the war has been going on for several months, and other countries have also invested heavily in troops.
If Saudi Arabia withdraws its troops from Iraq only for its own sake, Saudi Arabia will inevitably lose its prestige.
And, of course, Iran's reaction.
Don't forget, the Arab League has already stated in advance that it will withdraw its troops from Iraq as long as Iran agrees to withdraw its troops, which is tantamount to responding to China's call.
No matter how stupid the Iranian authorities are, they will make a statement in the near future.
So, what choice will Iran make?
After leaving the palace, Wang Dong called Yunlong and told Yunlong that Muhammad was going to buy arms on a large scale.
However, Yunlong was not surprised.
Obviously, he had expected this for a long time, knowing that Saudi Arabia would use this opportunity to buy arms from China in preparation for continued confrontation with Iran.
Of course, Wang Dong has not yet considered the matter of returning to Iraq.
Although the fighting in other places except Kut is over, neither Razak nor Karim will be able to launch a new offensive in the short term.
Until the situation becomes clear, the two sides will not rush to attack.
