The speed of the arrival of people from the direction of Mosul was faster than Chekov expected! Just ten minutes after they left, the first ISIS armed thugs in armoured vehicles and pickup trucks first slaughtered the outskirts of the town and immediately launched a full-scale search of the perimeter.

Not surprisingly, they could not find anything to prove the identity of the attackers, except for the dead bodies scattered all over the ground and a handful of remaining thugs. The 107mm rockets and 7.62x39 shells fired don't say anything, and neither side actually looked at each other from start to finish.

The huge town of Bairtale was completely bombed into ruins. The four huge craters and the radial collapse of the ruins in all directions are enough to show what a terrible blow they have suffered!

Other large and small craters scattered everywhere, as well as traces of rocket bombardment, all show that although the weapons attacked are not advanced, they are definitely not possessed by ordinary armed forces. And the information provided by the survivors, saying that the distinctive features of the propeller attack aircraft, directly pointed to the national power.

"Bastard! Americans don't talk about credit! We're all right! ”

An angry voice rang out in a hidden stronghold in Mosul, echoing a large wave of excitement and shouting: "We can't just leave it at that!" Since they attacked against the agreement, then we can also act according to our own ideas! Be sure to let them know that we at ISIS are not to be fooled! ”

"They must be warned! The great ISIS does not tolerate any insults! ”

"Behead those they sent! Or put to death with a cannon! Send the footage to the Yankees and let them know the seriousness of the matter! ”

The gossip is full of bloodthirsty breath.

People in the surrounding rooms and corridors. Hear those shouts. One by one, the blood is surging. The excited body trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of fanaticism, and he couldn't wait to rush out with the AK immediately.

It was a rudimentary room, furnished to the point of outrageous simplicity, with not a single stool to be seen except for the blankets on the floor.

A dozen plainly dressed bearded ISIS leaders sat in a circle, and after each uttering fiery remarks, they all focused on a young man who was no more than 30 years old.

The man wasn't very old. But his face was already full of wind and frost, his eyes were not very serious, and he didn't look much fierce and ruthless, and he could even be regarded as peaceful and profound. But between Gu Pan, there was undoubted self-confidence, and he nodded gently in the face of everyone's gaze: "Anyone who dares to interfere with our sacred cause must be severely punished and sanctioned, this is not to be discussed. Now we need to figure out who our real enemy is. ”

"Do you even need to think about it? Definitely Americans! They are in de facto control of Iraq's airspace. Who can drive fighter jets in without US permission? Iran? Turkey? Neither! ”

"And. Their intelligence is too accurate! How can you fly to Bail Taylor so easily? This must be a temptation for us! If we retreat like this, we will inevitably face an even more serious air strike! This is unacceptable. ”

Almost all the words put the blame on the Americans.

The young man waited patiently for them to finish before he said, "Why can't it be Russians?" The other side has been very hostile to our attitude, and there is enough information to prove that they are likely to intervene in the near future. ”

This is a very bad situation, and in the minds of most Middle Easterners, Russia is as powerful and awe-inspiring as the Soviet Union was back then. Don't look at their economy as a scum, and their armed forces are extremely weakened, but compared to the entire ninety percent of the countries on the Blue Star, they are still a terrifying force that is boundless. Facing Russia is almost no different from facing the United States.

Worse still, the Americans may be able to negotiate, negotiate terms, and make peace. Russia? No way!

The most troublesome thing is that Russia is too close to Iraq! Their warplanes can take off from mainland China and launch long-range strikes directly across Georgian, Armenian or Azerbaijani airspace. Not to mention the powerful missile forces, which cannot be stopped in any way.

However, not everyone agrees with this judgment, and everyone present knows that the young man who took the idea was born in Chechnya and is a mortal enemy of the Russians.

Fortunately, this is not a hall of words, they are also united by many forces, all have their own interests, and they can all express their own opinions.

Someone immediately objected: "In the short term, Russia should be unlikely to intervene." They have to prepare first, right? Without the consent of the United States, they cannot send armed forces to Iraq at will. In my opinion, it should be someone else's way of trying! ”

"Is this still called temptation?!" One of them angrily stood up, rushed to the map hanging on the side, circled the northeastern part of Mosul, and shouted, "Look! Four places, at the same time, under heavy air strikes! At least ten warplanes were sorted, causing hundreds of our casualties! This is a level of ferocity that even the Americans do not have, and it is clearly to exterminate us! ”

"Not bad! We must not just admit it, we must make our voices heard! Decapitate those European hostages first and warn them! Then, find the Americans to make this matter clear. If they can't give us a clear explanation, we don't mind waging an unprecedented holy war on his soil! ”

As soon as he shouted like this, everyone else became excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, screaming, waving their arms and spitting everywhere.

When the young leaders see this, they know that they can no longer go their own way, which will lead to the isolation of the group.

In the final analysis, the purpose of the forces of all parties is very clear, and the things that should be taken into account are also exceptionally clear. This is the period when the great cause of ISIS is on the rise, and we must not provoke too many powerful enemies. Don't look at the fact that they are having a lot of fun in Iraq and Syria, it seems that they will really be able to sweep the entire Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea in the near future, but as long as any of the world's five hooligans take serious action. They will pop like bubbles!

The reason why the uproar has not been destroyed until now. It is mainly the Americans who act as an umbrella. And the entire Western world also needs ISIS to disrupt the Arab world, and even affect the billions of YSL believers who make up one-third of the world's population.

As long as they don't go too far – like launching an attack on the Big Five like 911 – they won't provoke a devastating blow. No matter how messy Central Asia is, how many people die, it's a fart for those big countries!

If anyone sees ISIS as a mere terrorist organization, he can only say that he thinks too simply.

From the very beginning, the organization has a clear demand and a systematic development idea, and the long-term goals are quite precise. The action plan is even more thorough and meticulous, and it will basically not be seized by the big powers. Small-scale anti-terrorist strikes, they don't care at all.

Although there was such a big accident today, the fierceness of the attack launched by an unknown force was eye-catching, much more ferocious than the previous Americans. But this is still not the time for ISIS to react immediately and violently. Once you figure things out, it was actually carried out by a certain big country, do you say it was revenge or not?

There must be revenge, which is demanded by the religious beliefs they insist on, and ten times more-for-tat!

However, once a full-scale terrorist campaign is launched against a major country, it will give them an excuse to launch a strike in the name of justification. At that time, the Americans will have no excuse to stop the intervention.

Default doesn't matter? What if the other party continues to strike? The belief that unites the entire organization will be devastated, and ISIS will be torn apart. Naught!

The best way is to put the blame on the Americans. Anyway, in the entire region, only the Americans have the ability to attack anytime and anywhere, and it is easy to convince the members of the lower levels of the organization.

Even if it's not an American, so what? They already have the responsibility to control the situation in the whole region, and now that there is an accident, they must take their due responsibility and give reasonable explanations, so that their partners can rest assured and satisfied.

Of course, there is another layer, the Americans are the best to tear up the conflict with the forces that suddenly attacked!

None of those who can mix to the core level are stupid! In such a short period of time, it was natural for them to think all of them through and express such opinions.

The young man nodded gently: "Okay, let's do it." In addition, we must also put pressure on the Americans with practical actions and determine a direction of attack. ”

This decision satisfies everyone, and it is safer to bully the local weak chickens than to challenge the world-class powers or something!

The face of the guy who was still indignant just now changed, and he pointed at Erbil excitedly and said: "I think we should go back and continue to attack Erbil!" Not only did we have the money we needed, but there were also countless high-value hostages! ”

The majority immediately chimed in: "Agreed!" By capturing Erbil, we will not only gain a lucrative territory, but also gain a head start on expanding the occupied territory in the future! Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if we finally quit, we have what we deserve! ”

In their eyes, Erbil is a shining mountain of gold!

Don't look at Mosul as the second largest city, there is so much money in the banks. But when it comes to potential wealth, Erbil is not a lot at all!

With a population of more than a million people, the small capital city is now crowded with large numbers of refugees from Mosul and the northwest. The key is that there are more than 10 billion funds precipitated here! There is a lot of construction everywhere, there are business opportunities everywhere, there are speculators everywhere, they are all high-value hostages!

Strategic implications? That's even more indescribable.

The tone is initially set, but it still has to be notified to the big chief al-Baghdadi, and in addition, it has to be approved by the rest of the Syrian side.

On the side of Mosul, all the militants are fully mobilized, and all the anti-aircraft weapons bought and looted are distributed to every important stronghold, and on the high-rise buildings in the core city, there are a large number of elite soldiers carrying individual missiles to garrison, and at the same time, Soviet-style air defense heavy machine guns are deployed and ready for battle!

They didn't know who the enemy was, they didn't dare to rush out, at least they had to determine a target first! It is only in key areas that the search and patrol forces have been strengthened, and a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns and individual missiles have been accompanied by all of them.

The Americans were the first to get the news, and the "George. The USS Bush responded quickly and immediately dispatched a formation of F18 fighters with multiple sorties. Rush to the airspace of Mosul. They were not ordered to continue the fight against terrorist groups. Rather, the search for suspicious air power. Kill them as soon as they find out!

On the U.S. government side, the heads of the Pentagon and Central Command were summoned by President Obama to analyze and discuss responses to the sudden "attack" — well, that's how they define it.

The CIA gave a series of evidence on the spot, confirming that the incident was the work of fighter planes that had established a military base on the Iranian border. On the surface, they belonged to a military organization dominated by Soviet revivalists, but in fact they were born out of the mercenary force under the Northern Defense Company controlled by Yang Hao.

Besides. There are indications that their fighter equipment has received covert support from the Republic, including not only the new propeller attack planes that appeared this time, but also an unknown number of "Strong Five" jet attack aircraft. Such a force is not worth mentioning for the United States, but it can be called a decisive force for ISIS and even several small countries in the Caucasus.

The CIA chief said frankly: "Mr. President, we in the CIA alone cannot stop their actions by the strength of the CIA there. The impact of the destruction of the Georgian intelligence station was so dire that it was impossible to return to normal operations in the short term. ”

A Pentagon bureaucrat simply and rudely stated: "Since it's a hostile force, let's blow it up!" Cruise missiles or stealth bombers will do. ”

CIA Director Khan. Hurriedly explained: "I'm afraid this won't work." It is on the Iranian border, which can easily cause unnecessary disputes. Now that we are committed to resolving the Iranian nuclear issue, we cannot afford to let that go too far. In addition, there is a large hydropower station there, which was jointly built by China, Asia and Iran, and a large number of Chinese engineers are stationed. There are also many Chinese military personnel in the military base. ”

Several countries are involved at once, and the entire base is dominated by Russian hair, so it is difficult to say whether there are Russian hands and feet in it. It stabbed the hearts of several major countries at once, and Obama couldn't bear this responsibility.

The Pentagon bureaucrats cursed indignantly: "Damn the Chinese guys! Everywhere they are! Are they going to spread the whole world? ”

The CIA director shrugged, and that was the obvious thing. People want to build a century-old foundation with the Belt and Road Initiative, radiate the entire Eurasian and African continents, drive the entire Pacific and Atlantic economic circles, dominate the world economic hegemony, and compete with the United States. It has not openly engaged in military expansion, and has secretly supported some potential overseas bases, which has already given the United States enough face.

President Obama has enough heartwarming things now, and he frowned and said: "You can't cross the border at will, and the trouble caused is not easy to deal with." The scope of the attack was limited to Iraq and Syria, and as long as it was confirmed that it was their warplanes, they were all shot down. ”

"There is also the question of the ground forces. They dispatched small ground armed forces to infiltrate and reconnoiter to provide coordinate guidance for air strikes and decoy the enemy. We don't have enough people there, so that's not going to be easy. ”

Oba snorted coldly: "The United States can't always be the babysitter of those thugs!" They couldn't get rid of even the slightest reconnaissance force, and they deserved to be blown up! Leave him alone. ”

After saying that, he probably felt a little unsafe, and added: "If our fighter planes find it while patrolling, it would be good to clean it up by the way." ”

The faces of the military minds suddenly looked good.

That's right, anyway, in the end, it all pointed to Yang Hao, so I had to clean up that kid hard to get out of this bad breath.

Thinking that Yang Hao was just one person, he actually forced them, the most powerful big people in the world's strongest country, to have to take time to rack their brains to think of ideas, and all the bigwigs were full of unhappiness. If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't find the opportunity, they really wanted to arrest Yang Hao to the United States, put him in Guantanamo and torture him fiercely, and then try it in public and execute him by electrocution!

The decision was issued, and the actions of the US military in the Persian Gulf were immediately intensified.

As a result, after a period of silence, US warplanes once again soared over the northern Iraqi theater of operations.

After the initial panic, the ISIS forces in Mosul received news from the Americans that they were not coming for them, and they were immediately emboldened! After receiving no compensation and not being able to learn the true identity of the attackers, they resolutely took their anger out on the locals!

The day after the airstrike, ISIS forces in Mosul suddenly flew across the buffer zone and rushed to the Kelaik border on the banks of the Great Zab River.

The Kurdish forces stationed here showed complete incompetence and were broken by a single drum! Once again, Erbil's outer defenses have been lost, and a cloud of terror has once again loomed over this small city of refugees and wealth!

Panic spread everywhere, and many people packed their bags and prepared to head south to Kirkuk, or continue to flee east. But then it is learned that the southwestern town of Ubaid has also been lost, and Kirkuk is also in danger of destruction!

At a critical moment when everyone was at a loss, several transport planes landed at Erbil International Airport in succession. A large number of mercenaries from the U.S. Northern Defense Company, forming a professional private security team, poured into the city.

Although the size of the personnel is only one or two hundred, they are also restricted by the Iraqi government, and they cannot carry a large number of heavy weapons, so they can only travel lightly to undertake private security services. But the arrival of this new force has played a huge role in calming the hearts of the people!

James. President Braun himself appeared and made an impassioned declaration to the entire population of Erbil: "With the protection of the Northern Defense, you will be absolutely safe!" No matter how many damn terrorists come, we're not going to let you hurt a single hair! Rest assured, leave your personal and property safety to us! ”

More and more people are converging, and countless preservation contracts are signed at three, five, or even ten times the usual price. A large number of wealthy people in Kirkuk in the south also flocked north in search of protection.

For a time, the northern defense was in the limelight, unparalleled in the world! (To be continued......)

PS: ps: When it was posted yesterday, I didn't know about the terrorist incident in Paris. It is inevitable that Europe will be in chaos, and Britain, France, Germany and other countries have been fooled and lame by the Americans without knowing whether they are alive or dead, and it is difficult to clean up the mess now. I hope that the people who go there will try to ensure their own safety, and the whiteskins will die by themselves, and no one will stop them.
