Back at Gwadar Port, Pei Chengyi must be responsible for the overall construction of the Joint Command and Nanzhiye Xiangzhou at the same time. 【Reading.com】

Because Dongfang Wen helped deal with trivial affairs, and the Military Intelligence Bureau found a way to find Yang Shaoyong, Hu Jingan, Long Hongen and other senior staff officers who followed Pei Chengyi to participate in the Indian War and the Zuma Island War, most of the troublesome things did not need Pei Chengyi to worry about. He didn't even have to ask.

There is one thing that must be handled by Pei Chengzu himself, and that is how to distribute the powers of the Joint Command.

Tomorrow 7th. The Chief of Staff of the Iranian Army, Lieutenant General Hassan, and the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Guards, Lieutenant General Maidid, came to the port of Gwadar on the guise of a military expedition.

Pei Chengyi held a reception banquet for the two generals and arranged for them to stay in a luxury hotel at the theater headquarters.

Anyway. The commander of the theater of operations in the port of Gwadar has the credit of the Iranians, and it is normal for the Iranian general to enjoy it.

The next day, the Syrian Army's Deputy Chief of Staff Tallinn and the Air Force's Deputy Chief of Staff Rhodia also arrived at the port of Gwadar.

Like entertaining the Iranian generals, Pei Chengyi also hosted a banquet for the two Syrian generals.

Tomorrow thug day. The last members of the Joint Command, Iraqi Deputy Chief of General Staff Badarin, and Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Revolutionary Guards Rantham, arrived at Gwadar Port.

Anyway. Iraq is an independent country, and Pei Chengyi gave the two Iraqi generals equal treatment.

It is the seat of the Kingdom of Babylon, one of the four ancient civilizations. Iraq has a very long history. According to research. As early as the Common Era, city-states emerged in Iraq. The Kingdom of Babylon and the Assyrian Empire were established around the year of Swordpower BC. In the following millennia, Iraq was ruled by the Persian Empire, the Macedonian Empire, and the Arab Empire, and was the political and cultural center of the Arab Empire. It was ruled by the Mongols in the first century and annexed by the Ottoman Turkish Empire in the old century. After World War I, the Ottoman Turkish Empire collapsed. Iraq became a British "Mandate". In the old year, Iraq declared its independence and established the Faisal dynasty under British protection. In the year of the thug, Becker resigned due to illness, and Saddam Hussein took over as president. The following year, the Iran-Iraq War, which affected the entire Middle East, broke out, followed by the Gulf War at the beginning of the century. The Iraq War at the beginning of the century, and the Iraqi War of Independence.

In a sense, Iraq is very similar to Syria.

Although Iraq is more than twice the size of Syria. It has very amazing oil reserves, and the proven crude oil reserves at the beginning of the century are more than the old four B barrels, second only to Saudi Arabia and Iran, the third largest oil reserve country in the world, but as a country with only 2 million years of statistics. Iraq is not strong enough to dominate the Middle East, nor is it weak enough to be easily eliminated by other countries. The long Iran-Iraq War and the subsequent Gulf War proved that Iraq was incapable of conquering its neighbors. And the 10,000-year-long war in Iraq proved that Iraq will not be easily conquered by any country.

Abundant oil resources. Let all the great powers salivate over Iraq.

Also because of its rich oil resources, Iraq has become the most remote corner of the world.

Because the United States has not been able to make any progress in the research of controlled fusion reactors as far as that of the Republic, and there is still no practical possibility at the beginning of the century-old era, and its main energy sources are still oil and gas, the United States did not immediately withdraw its troops from Iraq after the Iran war, but used the pro-American regime it supported to deal with the "independence struggle" one after another. As the other side of the matter, in order to pass on domestic contradictions. After the withdrawal of US troops from the province of Khuzestan was officially recognized by the United States in the defeat of Iran. The Iranian authorities have put forward a policy of hegemony in the Gulf region, and the first thing to do is to wage jihad in Iraq and put Shia Muslims, who make up more than half of Iraq's population, to power. That is, at the beginning of the gravitational era, Iraq became a battlefield between the United States and Iran. The war, which lasted until the year of blood, was seen by the Iraqi authorities as a "war of independence". It was a civil war in the middle of the word.

The civil war is fought between Kurds and Sunni Muslims, supported by the United States, and Shia Muslims, implicitly supported by Iran. Compared to the war against foreign invasion, the civil war was not only more brutal. The damage caused is also even greater. Among other things, according to the findings of the previous Iraqi government. By the time of the year, Iraq's population had recovered to about 10,000 before the Iraq war, and by five years there were only 20,000. In other words, it has decreased by 40,000 people in just seven years. Got rid of the presumptuous thugs who fled to neighboring countries, Tian Wan, Iraqis died in the civil war. According to surveys conducted by the International Crescent and the International Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the actual population of Iraq in the year should be less than 10,000, and the number of civilians who died in the civil war is between 10,000 and 10,000. Most of them are Sunni Muslims and Kurds, and there are 10,000 to 30,000 Iraqis in exile at the mouth of the Gulf. This battle has lasted for recent years. Hurt Iraq's morale.

In the words of some Western media commentators, it will take at least a year for the civil war to heal during the year. Iraq is unlikely to become a military power for the foreseeable future.

In a sense, perhaps this is the biggest benefit for Iran.

According to the information provided by the Military Intelligence Agency, before the outbreak of the Iraqi civil war, the Iranian authorities intended to control international crude oil prices by controlling Iraq and threatening Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, so as to use oil to retaliate against the United States. If the Iranian authorities have achieved their goal. The nationalization of oil fields has pushed up oil prices. The U.S. is sure to have the worst recession ever. It is even possible to lose the throne of world hegemony as a result. It is precisely for this reason that when Iran actively instigated the civil war in Iraq, the Republic did not stop it, and even secretly supported it. Anyway, if Iran can bring down the United States. The biggest beneficiary is definitely not Iran. Rather, it is a republic. The Iranian authorities are well aware of this, so when expanding into Iraq, they simply ignored the opposition of the Gulf countries. Didn't even take care of the feelings of Russia. Because Russia is also a major oil exporter, Russia hopes to push up oil prices through the market. And not to let Iran do it. It is even more reluctant to allow Iran to control international oil prices.

The question is. The republic does not directly support Iran.

The reason is simple. At that time, Wang Yuanqing had already returned to the central government. Mainly responsible for foreign affairs. And he is not optimistic about Iran. To put it bluntly, as controlled fusion reactor technology matures and the day of large-scale commercial use gets closer and closer, the strategic importance of oil will soon fall apart. Although in the chemical industry, oil still has an irreplaceable importance. Especially after taking into account the cost, oil is more suitable for the chemical industry than fossil raw materials such as coal and natural gas. But if it is no longer used as an energy source, there will be a serious surplus of global oil production. Moreover, the world's oil reserves are enough for the chemical industry to use for hundreds of years, and its scarcity naturally does not exist. Not to mention anything else, the era of the century blade. Driven by the "Prince of Fertilizers", Saudi Arabia has established the world's largest chemical industry system, and the fertilizer produced in the country can meet the global demand and provide chemical products for more than 40% of the world's enterprises. In fact, even for countries like the Republic that need to import oil. If necessary, coal can be used as a chemical raw material. Thus. As long as the energy problem is resolved, it will be difficult for anyone to reap the benefits of international oil prices. Affected by this, Wang Yuanqing will certainly not pin his hopes on Iran, or even form an alliance with Iran.

All in all. By the time Iran won the war in Iraq, oil was no longer important.

For the Iranian authorities, it is not how to manipulate oil prices that need to be considered after the concave year. It's about how to get rid of the burden of Iraq.

In a sense, Ahmadinejad was able to come to power and has very close ties with Iraq.

Before Ahmadinejad came to power, the Iranian authorities were forced to "continue to provide assistance to Iraq for the sake of face and morality, and just to solve the problem of the survival of tens of thousands of Iraqis, the Iranian authorities had to pay nearly riyals every year at the rate of seven years." Jordan B RMB. Or the thug continent B dollar. There is no doubt that this is a very heavy expense. You know, 2 when there are four. Iran's average annual gross national product is less than 10,000 riyals, which is equivalent to every Iranian giving to Iraq a nephew of his annual income. Although 400 million riyals only accounts for about the share of Iranian government spending, the impact on tax increases is not significant. But Ahmadinejad made it clear during his presidential campaign that too much foreign aid would lead to high taxes in Iran. It has seriously reduced the standard of living of the people. The government's role is to help all voters find jobs and improve people's lives, not to go around the world to carry out Islamic revolutions. Ahmadinejad gave the example of aid to Iraq. In fact. The riyal that came to Iraq accounted for only about half of Iran's foreign aid. For example, at that time, Iran also provided annual assistance from Allah in Lebanon. Hundreds of billions of riyals for Islamic extremist groups on the African continent. If we take into account the various in-kind assistance provided by the Iranian authorities, an investigation report submitted to the United States Congress in accordance with the four years of force. Iran's annual foreign aid expenditure is between four riyals, that is, between 100 billion and 4 billion dollars, and the value of the riyals has been severely depreciated. And in the year of the blade. Iran's GDP is just over a dollar long. Other words. The Iranian authorities have given away the wealth of the country above Anhui to others.

Anyway. This is a bit of a ramp in the way of the Iranian authorities.

What's more. Iran's assistance has not made a big difference.

Dish year. After the overthrow of the pro-American Iraqi coalition government, Iraq's economy did not improve quickly. On the contrary, it has deteriorated rapidly against the backdrop of a gradual improvement in the global economy. To paraphrase the feelings of some Western journalists after interviewing in Iraq, in just a few years; It's as if thousands of Iraqis will return to the nomadic era again. The country is in ruins, but not many people are doing something truly meaningful.

In fact, this situation is also related to the Iranian authorities.

As the saying goes. It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. To help the Iraqi people. The best way to do this is to help Beirak rebuild the industrial system and create opportunities and conditions for the Iraqi people to work.

As in the post-war reconstruction of India, the focus must be on infrastructure and investment, as long as the foundation is in place. Investment comes in, and the country will naturally return to normal. It's not that the Iranian authorities don't understand this. I don't want to. In a sense, the Iranian authorities are afraid that Iraq will become strong again. In any case, Iraq is an Arab country and Iran is Persian, and the two countries have little in common except that the Shiite majority is in the majority. According to the Iranian authorities, it would be better for Iraq to remain in the grip of eternity.

The bottomless pit of Iraq eventually led Ahmadinejad Ahmadinejad, who held high the banner of reform, to become the president of Iran.

It was at this time that Iraq was given a chance to be reborn.

When Ahmadinejad came to power, he made good on his campaign promise to gradually reduce foreign aid, starting with aid to Iraq. than the year. The Iranian authorities have stopped providing assistance to Zolak.

In a sense, "weaning" is a good thing.

Since the beginning of the year, the Iraqi authorities have been looking for a way out of Iran. The United States certainly can't. In any case, the current Iraqi regime came to power after overthrowing the pro-US regime, and the biggest reason for its existence is that it has overthrown the traitorous regime that has defected to the United States. Europe is also out of the question, because several European countries, such as Germany and Italy, have been demanding that the Iraqi authorities thoroughly investigate several genocides during the civil war and hand over war criminals who have committed crimes against humanity to the International Tribunal in The Hague. Among the "war criminals" mentioned by European countries are several high-ranking Iraqi officials. Similarly, the Iraqi authorities have been demanding that the European States hand over the fugitive senior government officials and return the frozen assets of the former government to Iraq. In any case, Europe is not ideal. Russia is not rich, and it does not need Iraq's resources, there is basically nothing to count on. The Iraqi authorities have only one choice, and that is to turn to the republic and take advantage of the heavy investment in the republic

Admittedly, the Iraqi authorities were in good luck.

Although the Republic's attention was focused on South Asia at the time, the leadership group led by Wang Yuanqing recognized the importance of the Middle East and the limitations of the Republic in the region. What's more, a very interesting thing happened back then. That is, the Saudi authorities demanded that the Republic be supplied with fertilizers and other products in the form of a long-term agreement, and that the Republic lower tariff barriers. To put it simply, Saudi Arabia wants to sell fertilizers at a gold price. Against this backdrop, when the Iraqi authorities sent several missions to the Republic to solicit investments, the Republican authorities were very active, not only providing loan guarantees for Iraq, but also promising to help Iraq attract investment and help Iraq improve its domestic infrastructure in the form of state investment.

From phenol years. The republic began to operate Iraq.

According to the information provided by the Military Intelligence Agency, by the end of the year, the Republic's investment in Iraq had reached a total of two dollars. Nearly one-third of this is official investment by the Government of the Republic, i.e., the cost of infrastructure financed by the Government of the Republic to Iraq in the form of sovereign loans, and the other two-thirds is private investment. In contrast to investments from other regions, the Republic's private investment in Iraq is dominated by small and medium-sized enterprises. The main thing is that Iraq's infrastructure is very imperfect and there are many social contradictions. Many large companies are reluctant to take unnecessary risks. What's more. Investments in Iraq are dominated by chemicals. In particular, low-end chemical industries such as fertilizer production are the mainstay, and the profits are not high, and large enterprises are not interested. In fact, the predominantly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) approach to investment is also beneficial to Iraq, as they are able to create more jobs and leave room for Iraq's national enterprises to survive.

After several years of construction, Iraq has changed dramatically.

Although Iraq is still considered by many to be one of the poorest countries in the world, according to the data released by the United Nations at the beginning of the year, Iraq is one of the 2o poorest countries, with a per capita annual income of less than the thug milk dollar. It lags behind the global average for nearly half a century. Either way, Iraq has begun to catch up and is expected to become one of the most powerful countries in the Gulf region in the near future.

As in other Middle Eastern countries, having a certain economic base, the Iraqi authorities want to do something militarily.

Anyway. Iraq is an Arab country, and the Arabs have a strong martial spirit. What's more. If Iraq wants to get rid of Iran's influence, in addition to relying on the republic economically, it must also make achievements in national defense construction, otherwise it will never want to become an independent country.

Exactly. The republic is also covertly helping Iraq in its defense build-up.

Of course, this kind of help is very different from aid directed at other countries.
