Bottom, with the assistance of the Republic. The First Army of the Arab Coalition Army, which was built by the Syrian and Iraqi defense guards. Mosul in Iraq was proclaimed. According to the relevant agreement signed between Syria and Iraq, the headquarters of the "First Army" will be located in Mosul, and the headquarters of the "Arab Coalition" will be located in Hasakah, Syria. And the main battle weapon of the "First Army", the "Arab coalition army." The communications command equipment is provided by the Republic.

On the day the "First Army" was proclaimed, its vanguard troops marched into Kurdistan, the military occupation zone in southern Turkey, replacing part of the forces in Syria and Iraq, and was responsible for security in the area, mainly for the relocation and transfer of Kurds.

Although the equipment of the unit is not ideal, after all, the second-hand equipment provided by the republic for free cannot be much better, and many armored combat vehicles are even to the point of being scrapped, but as a joint military force, the significance of the unit's existence is far greater than the significance of performing military tasks.

In the eyes of many. This is the first step towards the reunification of Syria and Iraq.

In fact, prior to this, Syria and Iraq had taken advantage of the opportunity of the establishment of the "First Army" to adjust their military command structures. Fortunately, because both Syria and Iraq have hired military experts from the republic, and they have emulated the republics in their military systems, it is time to adapt. I didn't have much trouble, otherwise it would not have been possible to solve the problem in the chain of command in just a few months.

It is important that after the advent of the "First Army", the "Arab world policy" of the republic finally surfaced.

Although as early as after the end of the Middle East war, many Western news media began to trumpet the "Arab world policy" of the republic and claimed that the republic's help to the Arab world move towards reunification was absolutely not aimed at supporting a strong Arab state, because this was not in the fundamental interests of the republic, and the purpose of doing so was only to replace the United States and become the hegemon of the Middle East, but in terms of the specific policy of helping the Arab world achieve reunification, not a single Western news media thought that the republic would make a military fuss first?

Here's the point.

If the purpose of the republic is to use the Arab world to fight the United States and achieve the goal of controlling the Middle East, it should make a fuss about the economy. It's hard to understand, but it's realistic. No one can deny that the best option for the Arab world to move toward reunification is to follow the example of Europe and achieve reunification step by step in a peaceful way. The problem is that the EU can gradually move towards reunification because of the basic conditions that the two Arab countries do not have, one is a high level of economic development, and the other is a similar social level. It can be said that these two conditions are indispensable conditions for the realization of peaceful reunification.

Even if we take the Republic as an example, the fact that it can successfully recover Taiwan and complete national reunification has a great deal to do with the economic level and the level of social development between the two sides of the strait.

In the absence of these two prerequisites, the Arab world cannot copy the EU model.

If the republic wants to achieve its goal, it should do the opposite, that is, make a fuss about the economy, so that the Arab world wastes its precious time on economic exhibitions. In this way, when the Arab world has the basic conditions for reunification on the EU model, I am afraid that the republic will not support the Arab countries as it has done in the past.

Judging from the actual situation in the Arab world, it is only by starting from the military point of view that it is truly effective

Law.

Compared to the EU. Two very striking features of the Arab world are that several major Arab countries share common enemies and that external threats threaten the Arab world far more than internal contradictions. In this way, in addition to linguistic, cultural and religious commonalities, Arab countries also have common topics of security, and they all want more security. Regardless of external support, such as the security provided by the republics, or the joining of an alliance of states dominated by a certain level of power, Arab countries should cooperate more on security issues if they want to obtain more security guarantees. Because the Arab states experienced four Middle East wars from the end of the century to the beginning of the century, several major Arab countries knew the importance of unity. Even the Republic has already provided strong support to the Arab countries in the Middle East. When it comes to national interests, Arab countries such as Syria and Iraq still want to strengthen their national security through military cooperation.

From this it can be seen that the republic has "found the right way".

In the eyes of many Western news outlets, this is a hard thing to believe. Of course, no news outlet would report that the republic was helping the Arab countries to achieve reunification, and that they would not take advantage of them, because such a topic would not be on the table. But at the time of the news, almost all Western news outlets believed that Syria and Iraq were under the control of the republic. Sooner or later, the United Arab news media praised the Republic as the only friend of the Arab countries, and that military cooperation between Syria and Iraq is not only a problem for the two countries, but also provides a new solution for the security of the entire Arab world.

Of course, what is even more unexpected is the degree of progress in the process of military cooperation between Syria and Iraq.

At the beginning of the year, that is, when the "Invitation" officially entered the second stage, Syrian President Sanad and several animals! President Gilavani is in Beijing to participate in the "Economic Cooperation between the Republic and the countries of the Middle East." The two countries are considering the establishment of a joint general staff, that is, the military forces of the two countries are fully integrated.

Arguably. This is definitely a crucial step.

Although almost all Western news media at the time believed that this was the work of the republican authorities, it was unlikely that Sanad and Gilavani would have handed over vital military power to a less reliable joint body. Because both Syria and Iraq have a less than glorious history, the two presidents are unlikely to let go of military power so easily. Some Western news media even took the opportunity to satirize the republic. It was believed that the republic's policy in the Middle East would end in a fiasco. But within a beater's year, the speculation of the Western news media has once again proven to be completely unreliable.

The Year of the Knife and the Stone of the Fighter Month. "Syrian-Iranian Joint General Staff. Founded in Damascus.

More importantly, the Syrian and Iraqi governments are also formally negotiating the establishment of a "joint Ministry of Defense" at this time.

No doubt. It is much more difficult to set up a "joint defense department" than a "joint general staff."

In any case, the "General Staff" belongs to the military command body, and its main task in peacetime is to prepare for war, and its main value is embodied in wartime or war operations. Other words. The "General Staff" is actually a purely military body, and not a government agency. "Ministry of Defense. It's different. As the direct manager of the armed forces, the "Ministry of Defense" is not only a military institution. It is also a government agency. What's more. The "Ministry of Defense" directly manages the military budget, as well as the personnel work of the army, so the national defense has a lot of power.

The question lies here: how to solve the problem of funding and personnel for the "Joint Ministry of Defense"?

Relatively speaking, the personnel problem is relatively easy to solve, and it is only necessary to strike a balance in the personnel setup of the joint Taiwan department, and the specific personnel management of the two teams can be handled separately.

The key is funding.

The defense budget is directly related to a country's financial budget. The budget is determined by a country's national production capacity. Although Syria and Iraq are at the same level of economy, there is a big difference between the budget levels and budget expenditures of the two countries, and it is naturally difficult to agree on the defense budget. What's more, the government is only responsible for spending the budget, and the approval of the budget is in the hands of Congress. No matter how active the presidents of the two countries are, they can only represent the government, not the Congress. If Congress refuses to compromise on the budget, the two countries will not want to create a "joint defense department." ”

Of course. It's not that there are no solutions.

In fact. There are many ready-made methods, for example, when the European Union first implemented the euro, the unified fiscal policy was a more reliable method. To put it simply, it is to impose a hard and fast rule on the level of fiscal revenue and the proportion of defense spending in Syria and Iraq, which can only fluctuate within a certain range. The problem is that there is a prerequisite for this solution, which is that the cooperation between the two countries is not a question of who dominates whom, but rather a relative equal cooperation, so any agreement between the two countries needs a third-party guarantor. To put it simply, it is who will be held liable after a default in Syria or Iraq, and who will punish the default.

Obviously, this is the role played by the republic.

On the other hand, Sanad and Giravani announced the news in Beijing, hoping to get the support of the republic. In other words, it was under the arrangement of the Republic that the two announced this catty in Beijing. Message.

In March of the year of the Milk, Syria and Iraq made a major breakthrough in negotiations on the establishment of a "joint Ministry of Defense."

At that time, the main problem that plagued both sides was that the legislative work on the share of the defense budget in the fiscal budget and the share of the budget in the gross national product was in trouble in the parliaments of both countries, and it was not until the Iraqi parliament approved the relevant bill submitted by the Iraqi government that this obstacle was overcome.

2 months later. The "UN Ministry of Defense" began to "idle" in Baghdad.

At the end of the year. After the conclusion of negotiations on the issue of personnel arrangements, the establishment of the "Syrian-Iranian Joint Ministry of Defense" entered the time stage.

On the 7th of the year of the knife, "Syria and Iran are the joint defense department. It was officially proclaimed in Baghdad.

Although the integration of the forces of the two ** affairs was not completed until the end of the following year, in the "Joint General Staff. With the establishment of the "Joint Ministry of Defense", the military forces of the two countries have come together.

What's more, the military forces of the two countries have a ready-made scratching ground: the Kurdistan region. The new address of this site has been changed to: Talk about the fetus o waki, please read in vain!

In a sense, the active support of the countries for the integration of military forces in Syria and Iraq is also related to the settlement of the Kurdish issue.

After the war in the Middle East, according to the terms of the armistice agreement, the republic will not support the independent establishment of the Kurds for the old year, and even after the old year, the future of Kurdistan can only be decided by a vote. What's more, the armistice was very clear. A predominantly Kurdish state can be established in the Kurdistan region only if the overwhelming majority of the Kurds are in favor of independent statehood. Because the US authorities are not willing to make concessions on this issue, the Republic can only make concessions. In other words, the United States has made a compromise on the issue of independent Kurdish statehood, which is already the maximum concession. ※ Relations between the Republic of Japan and Iran began to retreat. Therefore, in the case of Kurdistan, the authorities of the republic prefer that Syria and Iraq shoulder the heavy responsibility. More importantly, it is impossible for the republic to divide the Kurdistan region into several occupied areas, as it did against India, after all, the permanent inhabitants of the region are only Kurds, and there is no reason to divide Kurdistan into several parts. In other words, the occupation must be the responsibility of the multinational force, and it must be a hassle to have the multinational force operate together.

Exactly. By the time of the four, the Republic still had a force of about 20,000 troops stationed in the Kurdistan region to maintain stability in the occupied territories. Iran, Iraq and Syria have also deployed tens of thousands of troops in the region, with the Iranian and Iraqi Defense Forces leading the way. In order to suppress Iran, the Republic will definitely have to manipulate the occupation of Kurdistan, and it will have to make Iraq exert more efforts to gradually withdraw Iranian troops from the region. The problem is that Iraq is not a strong country and it is impossible to send too many troops. Because there are not many Kurds in Syria, there has been no reason for the Syrian authorities to deploy more troops to the Kurdistan region. Without a reason, it will not be possible to convince Congress, and it will not be possible to increase troops to the Kurdistan region.

As Syria's defense forces move towards reunification with Iraq's, the Syrian authorities can justifiably increase their forces in the Kurdish region. After the Syrian parliament approved the bill to establish a "joint general staff" and a "joint ministry", the Syrian authorities did not even need the support of the Congress to send additional troops to the Kurdistan region.

Of course. It is not only the republic that has benefited from this.

For the two armies moving towards reunification, what is most needed is to run in, and the best way to run in is to carry out military tasks together. More importantly, as a direct promoter of the cooperation between the two countries. The republic will provide all kinds of support, including materiel, for the combat operations of the two ** teams in the Kurdistan region. It is not the generosity of the authorities of the republic. Rather, the republic cannot shirk its responsibilities. In accordance with the armistice. The Republic is the primary responsible State for the stability and security of the Kurdistan region, and it will have to assume security in the region until the end of the occupation period in the previous years. Although the armistice agreement did not stipulate the manner in which the Republic should carry out its duties and obligations, it was not possible for the Republic to take this opportunity to escape its responsibilities, since maintaining an occupying force was a very cumbersome matter and required a huge amount of money.

Ten thousand yes. Both the Syrian and Iraqi armies are far less expensive to deploy outside the country than the Republican Army.

According to the National Defense Blue Book, published by the Ministry of Defense of the Republic at the beginning of the year, the cost of supporting a coalition Syrian-Iraqi army of 10,000 men in the Kurdistan region is equivalent to a 20,000-strong combat unit of the Republican Army.

That is, the republic can do more with less.

The same. Neither the Syrian nor Iraqi authorities need to pay for military deployments outside their borders. The new address of this site has been changed to: Chat about the fetus o Chat about the sorrel, please read in vain!

As the military forces of Syria and Iraq gradually moved towards reunification, the "centripetal force" of the Arab world began to take shape. Although Syria and Iraq can still only be regarded as the middle level of Arab countries at the time of the four, and the two countries together are not as good as Egypt, the joint security model of Syria and Iraq has shown results, and has received the attention and support of some Arab countries. For example, in the Turbulence? During his visit to Baghdad in June of this year, the Sudanese president said that Sudan was very interested in the "Joint General Staff" and the "Joint Ministry of Defense" and hoped to learn more about it. and at the appropriate time to conduct relevant negotiations with Syria and Iraq.

Because from the very beginning the "joint agency" was set up as open-ended. Eligible countries are welcome to join. The presidents of Iraq and Syria have successively said that as long as Sudan has obtained a few hard indicators, Iraq and Syria will welcome Sudan's accession to the alliance.

As Sudan took a stand, other Arab countries gradually expressed interest.

Although there are not many Arab countries that are really willing to join the EU, and few are really active, this kind of fashion-like action soon became a trend, which had a great impact on the foreign and national defense policies of many Arab countries and even neighboring countries. Among other things, before the end of the year, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates, which have always been pro-American, chose the weapons and equipment of the republic for two arms deals.

The mother is undoubted. Israel will certainly be the most affected.

As early as the end of the year, shortly after the establishment of the "Syrian-Iranian Joint General Staff", Israel almost launched a surprise attack on Syria. From Israel's point of view, the threat of one Syria is big enough, and a pound, Syria merged with Iraq certainly poses a mortal threat. If it weren't for the fact that the aftermath of the Middle East war had not yet dissipated, and Landes, who barely won re-election, had no intention of paying attention to the situation in the Middle East, I am afraid that the Middle East would have boiled over a long time ago.

In fact, the United States is not having a good time.

The unification of the Arab world will not do the United States any good. In deleted terms, whether it is a republic or a newly formed Arab state that ultimately controls the Middle East, it will not be the United States anyway, and it will certainly be the United States that will suffer in this round of struggle.

The problem is that the US authorities simply cannot pay attention to the situation in the Middle East!
