Back in Riyadh, the first thing Wang Dong saw was Yunlong, who came to pick him up at the airport.

It has been confirmed that the attack on the front-line command was a ballistic missile from Iran, and that it was a "Mudstone" solid-fuel ballistic missile belonging to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.

In addition, government forces and coalition forces near Diwaniyah and Najaf were attacked.

In the afternoon, Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps fired at least 20 ballistic missiles at government forces and coalition forces, but the hit rate was frighteningly low.

According to the information obtained by Yunlong, only one missile hit a military camp south of Diwaniye, causing about 300 casualties among officers and men, blowing up hundreds of tons of equipment and supplies, and all other missiles were missed, and the deviation range was at least 300 meters.

In the border areas, at least tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Revolutionary Guards are massing.

According to Yunlong's judgment, the Revolutionary Guards will enter Iraq in the next few days.

For this reason, Yunlong gave a suggestion, that is, it is naturally good to be able to defeat Kut, if not, he will spend time with the rebels over there.

The reason is also very simple, as Iran sends troops to the war, Saudi Arabia and other Arab League countries will definitely increase their troops.

If you give up on Kut, you will fall short.

Confronting the rebels in Kut, it can also achieve the goal of destroying the enemy's living forces, laying the foundation for the next march and the recovery of Baghdad.

Besides, Crown Prince Mohammed will certainly not agree to withdraw his troops from Kut at this time.

The crown prince wants to take Baghdad?

Wang Dong was surprised, but this is not something that needs to be concerned about at the moment.

"What is the situation in Riyadh?"

"It's nerve-wracking, but that's all."

Wang Dong looked at Yunlong incomprehensibly.

"The call was made by Iran's spiritual leaders, the Saudi royal family had already stepped up its precautions, and the prince who was injured in the explosion could only blame his bad luck."

"What do you mean......"

"If Iran sends troops to war, what does Saudi Arabia need most?"

Wang Dong frowned, and did not answer Yunlong's words.

"Obviously, Saudi Arabia has to present itself as a victim and have to sweep away the sympathy of the world. In any case, bombing is a common tactic used by terrorists. Although there is no evidence that the explosions in Riyadh are directly related to Iran, the call issued by Iran's spiritual leader has pushed Iran to the opposite side of morality, and Saudi Arabia has become a victim. ”

As soon as Yunlong said this, Wang Dong understood.

Obviously, during his trip to Iraq, Yunlong had been giving advice to Crown Prince Mohammed, at least not making the crown prince make low-level mistakes.

Now that Saudi Arabia has become a victim of a terrorist attack, then everything is easy to say.

As expected, Yunlong must have made other arrangements.

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much. The crown prince is measured and knows what to do. Wait to see the crown prince and say more things that are not so good. ”

"Bad news or bad news?"

Yunlong smiled faintly and said: "The Arab League's increase in troops is a foregone conclusion, and Saudi Arabia will definitely act as the vanguard, so it is necessary to put a little pressure on the crown prince." ”

"Iran sends troops to enter the war, and the war will definitely enter a stalemate, and maybe it will continue forever."

"What do you think?"

Wang Dong let out a long breath and said: "Although the equipment of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps is not very good, its combat effectiveness and will to fight are far above the Arab Alliance coalition forces. Even if the Arab League increases its troops, it will not be possible to take Baghdad in a few months, let alone completely eliminate the Karim regime. ”

"I think this war will end soon."

"Really?"

"Although Iran has not officially announced its participation in the war, after Iran is involved, it is no longer a civil war in Iraq, but a war between two regional powers. On the battlefield in Iraq, the Arab coalition forces may not be able to take advantage, but the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps may not be able to seize the initiative. However, this does not mean that the war will enter a stalemate phase and will not be resolved for a long time. ”

"If there is a stalemate, then ......"

"Do you think Saudi Arabia and Iran can fight a protracted war of attrition?"

Wang Dong's brows jumped a few times, and he also closed his mouth.

"True, Russia is indeed secretly supporting Iran. According to the information already available, Russia has supplied Iran with a batch of advanced fighter jets, most likely the Su-30M, which was previously deployed in Syria. In the morning, it was this fighter that shot down the F-15SA. The problem is that Russia itself is a mud bodhisattva, and the support it can provide to Iran is certainly very limited, and it will not go much. According to our estimates, Russia supplies Iran with a maximum of a few dozen fighter jets, as well as several regional air defense systems. It's just that this level of support will allow Iran to hold out for a few months at most, and then it will have to accept reality and sit down to negotiate with Saudi Arabia and other Arab League countries. ”

Wang Dong nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what Yunlong meant.

"In addition, the United States will definitely not watch Saudi Arabia be defeated by Iran. Although the United States is very annoyed with Saudi Arabia in the turmoil of severing diplomatic relations, coupled with the contradictions on issues such as the Kurdish independence referendum, the United States has been secretly attacking and suppressing Saudi Arabia, but when it comes to the fundamental issue, Saudi Arabia is still the most important ally of the United States in the Gulf region and has irreplaceable value, while Iran is the main opponent of the United States. To put it another way, if Saudi Arabia loses to Iran, it will definitely end the pro-American line that has been maintained for decades without hesitation. Because Russia maintains good relations with Iran, and European countries such as France and Germany are too weak, Saudi Arabia can only move closer to China. ”

"For the United States, this is unacceptable."

"Then, the United States will come forward to support Saudi Arabia when necessary. When the time comes, Russia will inevitably restrain itself, because Iraq and the Gulf are not Russia's main areas of interest. From the point of view of maintaining energy stability, Britain and France will definitely follow the United States. When the time comes, plus us, with the intervention of all the great powers, regardless of the situation on the battlefield, this war will end. ”

Wang Dong let out a long breath, and he also thought of these questions.

"Of course, not now, but in a few months, because the current battlefield situation is not serious enough to require the intervention of major powers." Yunlong smiled faintly and said, "More importantly, the United States has not taken action yet, so we have to make persistent efforts." ”

"What?"

"No country can end this war without the involvement of the United States. In other words, what we need to do now is to force the United States to take action. ”

"This ......"

"Either way, our ultimate goal is to end this war. If you can't achieve your goal directly, you have to find another way. ”

Wang Dong chuckled in his heart, because he heard another meaning of Yunlong's words.
