Wang Dong didn't care about the things in the rear, and he didn't have to worry about it.

With Yunlong in charge, what else is there to worry about?

For the next few days, Mr. Wang was busy recruiting men, not elsewhere but in Basra, or Iraq to be exact.

Don't forget, Razak promised that Wang Dong would personally select the officers and soldiers.

Previously, Nanijal approached Wang Dong and asked Wang Dong to help those subordinates who had been reassigned to Nasiriyah and not let them serve as cannon fodder.

To this end, Wang Dong asked Nanijer to write a list of personnel.

Fortunately, Razak was very cheerful and signed the order for the transfer of these officers and soldiers.

In fact, they are all active soldiers of the Iraqi government army, and they are also heroes of Nasiriyah, and there is no reason for Razak to refuse the list submitted by Wang Dong.

Not very many, a total of just over 200 officers and men, more than half of whom are grassroots officers.

Because they followed Wang Dong in the bloody battle against the rebels in Nasiriyah, they were able to become Wang Dong's subordinates again, and these government officers and soldiers were very excited.

It's just that there are too few people.

You must know that the main battle equipment that Wang Dong grabbed was enough to arm two mechanized infantry battalions, and even one of them could be upgraded to an armored battalion.

Under normal establishment, the total strength of the two battalions was about 900 men.

Luckily, there are enough recruits.

When these personnel came to report one after another, Wang Dong submitted promotion applications to Razak one after another, so that all the veterans were promoted to junior officers.

Razak did not embarrass Wang Dong and approved these promotion applications.

For Razak, the promotion of more than 100 soldiers to officers was nothing more than an increase in salary, and the Iraqi dinar was not worth anything at all.

Besides, as the strength of the government army increases, a number of junior officers must also be appointed.

Because there is no military academy and no training system, almost all of the junior officers appointed are veterans, and most of them are veterans who have participated in battles.

To put it bluntly, even if Wang Dong did not submit an application, Razak still had to promote these veterans exceptionally.

With the rank and file officer corps, the next step is to replenish the ranks and train the recruits.

It's a nuisance, and it's not in a hurry.

It's not that there is a lack of instructors, but that it takes a lot of time.

The boot training camp is next to the airport, and the operators guarding the airport can act as instructors to share some of the burden between Xie Chuyue and Zhang Zilan.

Because it was his own troops, Wang Dong set up a special training camp at the airport.

The airport is Wang Dong's territory, and no matter how much opinion Razak and those government generals have, they don't dare to come here to cause trouble.

It is important to know that the airport is a military restricted area, and the operators guarding the airport are suspected of shooting trespassers without warning.

The main issue is time.

Considering that the government army could launch a counterattack at any time, Wang Dong could only increase the intensity of training and let those recruits master the basic combat skills as soon as possible.

To be precise, it is actually the skill of driving and operating the main battle equipment.

Luckily, Basra has Iraq's second-largest oil refinery and a large oil field, and the supply of fuel is not a problem.

As for the ammunition for training, it can also be sufficient.

Quite simply, Wang Dong "grabbed" dozens of truckloads of ammunition at the port, and Wang Dong did not plan to take these inferior ammunition to the battlefield.

When the new ammunition they bought arrived, Wang Dong and his family would not be able to use these inferior ammunition, and they would have to hand it over to other units of the government army at that time.

Anyway, you can't take it away, so you can use as much as you can, and there is no need to save.

According to Wang Dong's arrangement, the recruits train for more than 12 hours a day, except for eating, drinking, and sleeping, they are training the rest of the time.

There were complaints that there were only instructors as an example, and most of the recruits persevered.

In fact, the role of high-standard food is more prominent.

At a time when the recruits of other troops could only barely fill their bellies, these recruits under Wang Dong each had half a catty of meat every day, and rice and pasta were even more full.

You know, the vast majority of civilians in Basra have a hard time tasting the smell of oil and water.

Meat can be eaten every day, which is a special treatment that only high-ranking officials and high-ranking generals can receive.

In addition, the preparation of new weapons also made these recruits believe that following Wang Dong and becoming Wang Dong's subordinates, there was a greater hope of surviving to the moment the war ended.

Upon entering the training camp, each recruit was greeted with several sets of individual equipment placed in the hall.

Of course, it was an exhibit that was specially put out for recruits to see.

Wang Dong also said that after completing the training, he could receive a set of such individual equipment, and it was completely free.

The most striking thing is body armor.

Both infantry and armored soldiers need body armor, and recruits understand that body armor can greatly increase the probability of survival.

In addition, the matching firearms are also very eye-catching.

The infantry is DF8SMG, and the armored is DF6PD, and both have a combat pistol, which is exactly the same weapon used by the operatives guarding the airfield.

As for the performance of these firearms, it was an eye-opener for recruits during training.

It can be seen that Wang Dong spent a lot of money on this army.

You know, just a few hundred sets of individual equipment are worth hundreds of millions of dollars!

It's just that it's the market price, not the cost price of internal procurement, but it's not cheap, and a set of infantry equipment is almost 50,000 US dollars.

In Luo Qing's words, Wang Dong wanted to make this army his own forbidden army.

As for why, everyone knows it.

Not to mention that it is a period of civil war, even before the outbreak of the civil war, it is strength that determines the right to speak in Iraq, that is, whether the gun is strong enough.

If you don't have enough strength, even if you have a high status, talking is tantamount to farting.

As long as the strength is strong enough, even if there is no official position, the fart is loud.

In this world where the law of the jungle is followed, a strong military force is more important than anything else.

It is precisely because of this that no one objected to Wang Dong's approach, and he tried his best to cooperate, especially the action personnel who served as instructors, and behaved more actively than anyone else.

If they have enough time, they will even train these recruits into special forces.

Unfortunately, time is never enough.

On the tenth day after Wang Dong's riot in Basra, Razak summoned all senior military officers, including Wang Dong, to convene an emergency meeting at the Provisional Prime Minister's Office.

Before receiving a call from the Provisional Prime Minister's Office, Wang Dong had already received the news.

Just yesterday evening, tens of thousands of refugees poured into Nasiriyah, all of them Sunnis, and the rebels began to expel the Sunni population of the area under their control!

In addition, the Karim regime announced three days ago that it would unconditionally expropriate private property under the provisions of the Emergency Authorization Act in Wartime.

At the time, no one took it seriously.

Quite simply, the Razak regime has also issued relevant announcements and has been expropriating private property, but not excessively.

Apparently, Karim is plundering the Sunnis with this means!
