Chapter 736: To Iran
The enemy of an enemy is a friend, and sometimes this statement is true, and sometimes it is not so accurate.
For example, Iran is an enemy of Iraq, and now Iraq is an enemy of the United States, but Iran is still an enemy of the United States, and this hostility will continue.
This is determined by basic ideological beliefs and cannot be changed, and now, the US army has taken all of Iraq in a matter of days, and this victory is even more glorious than the previous defeats.
Moreover, the United States is still the president of the tough old Bush, if the Iraqis establish a revolutionary base in Iran, constantly cross the Iran-Iraq border, attack the American army, and then run back, what will the Americans do?
There is no doubt that the United States will definitely pay it off! This hits directly to Iranian territory, and the Iranians will certainly consider it an American aggression.
It is better to provoke the United States and Iran into conflict!
If on the surface, Iraq has been fighting Iran for 10 years, and now Iraqi President Saddam Hussein is in trouble and runs to Iran for refuge, then the Iranians will definitely welcome Saddam Hussein happily, and then cut off his head to celebrate, and Saddam Hussein will go to Iran, it will be like a sheep's mouth.
However, there are exceptions to everything, and on the territory of Iran, there are also close allies of Saddam, the Kurds!
Not bad, still Kurds!
The earliest can be traced back to the Ottoman Empire, when the Kurds were distributed in the Zagros and Taurus mountain ranges. It stretches from Kermanshah in Iran in the east, the Euphrates River in Turkey in the west, Yerevan in Armenia in the north, Kirkuk in Iraq in the south, and Aleppo in Syria.
They are transnational ethnic and linguistic groups living in the Taurus Mountains in eastern Turkey, the Zaglos Mountains in western Iran, northern Iraq and adjacent areas. The majority of the Kurds live in the bordering areas of Iran, Iraq and Turkey.
If you look at it from the map. Here happens to be a whole, and it can even form a country! Yes, as an important ethnic group in the Middle East, the Kurds have always sought independence, but the Kurds have been divided into several countries. Their aspirations for statehood have never been realized.
In the ongoing great power game, these Kurds have also begun to divide into different camps, most notably the Kurds living in Iraq and Iran, and both sides support the other side in order to add to the other's blockage. Iran supports the Kurds in Iraq in the unrest, while Iraq supports the Kurds in Iran in establishing their Kurdistan state.
As for them joining forces to jointly create a large Kurdistan that spans several countries, just kidding. Don't even think about it! If they had really united, the country would have been established long ago, and they distrust each other, and there are constant internal strife, for example, even the Kurds in Iraq are divided into two major military armed groups, the Kurdistan Democratic Party and the Kurdistan Patriotic Union, in order to compete for power. There is also a struggle between the two organizations. Not to mention the fact that the Kurds in Iraq will ally with the Kurds in Iran.
In fact, the Kurds are mainly based on tribes. The only people they can fully trust are the people of their own tribe. There is no need to worry at all that Saddam Hussein went to Iran and will be given to the Iraqi Kurds by the Kurds there.
And, find a way to add some spices! Mhammad pondered for a while and devised a new plan.
After receiving instructions from Mhammad, Shostakovich took Saddam with him. He began his flight all the way to the Kurdish gathering area in the mountains of northern Iran, and at the same time, along the way, he was also collecting the scattered Iraqi government troops. By the time the border was crossed, the number of this army had exceeded 1,000.
Seeing these people, Saddam regained confidence, and the hardships along the way also turned into motivation, especially after arriving in the Mahabat area and joining up with the local Kurdish National Front, Saddam Hussein recovered from this violent blow.
Although the Kurds in various countries are fighting for independence, these Kurds in Iran are the most tragic, because they have been betrayed several times.
In the 30s, the Mahabad region gradually became the base of the Kurdish autonomy movement, in 45 years the Iranian Kurdistan Democratic Party was established, and in January of the following year, the "Republic of Kurdistan Mahabat" was established. However, sensing this sign, Iran quickly began negotiations with the Soviet Union, which eventually reached an agreement, losing the support of the Soviet government, and the Kurds in Mahabat were quickly suppressed. And when in 79, Khomeini launched a revolution against the Pahlavi dynasty, the Kurds and Khomeini reached an agreement, revolted together, and overthrew the Pahlavi dynasty, but unfortunately, a few days later, Khomeini, who had fought side by side, launched a holy war against the Sunni Kurds after taking power, and after a few years, they basically controlled the Kurdish areas, and the Kurds were betrayed again.
However, as their most loyal friend, Saddam Hussein will never betray him, and over the years, Saddam's government has always supported the Kurdish armed forces, and the current Kurdish National Front has been formed with the full support of Iraq.
Even so, the Kurdish National Front has less than 200 armed men, while Saddam Hussein has brought more than 1,000 people.
Dressed in camouflage uniforms covered with dirt and long unrecognizable in their original colors, holding AK47s, they are all riding horses.
In the mountains, horseback riding is more convenient than driving, and horses do not need fuel supplies, which is much faster.
"Welcome our friends." The person from the other side said that this person was the head of the Kurdish National Front, Said.
"Said, it's a great honor to be here, thank you to our friends." On the Iraqi side, a chubby man said, looking nonchalantly at the distant mountains around him: "The terrain here is good, we won't bother for too long, just find us a mountain." ”
In the back team, Saddam, who was dressed in the clothes of ordinary soldiers, lowered his helmet, but his eyes showed a bright light, his eyes were extremely sharp, and the symbolic little beard under his nose was also cleanly shaved.
Although it is not worried that the other side will expel its own side, the United States has now issued a bounty, and if it knows Saddam's whereabouts, the bounty will be one million dollars! At this time, you have to worry about being betrayed by someone, so Saddam Hussein did not reveal his identity, but asked Ali to negotiate.
Armored Ali! Originally, he was full of armored army theory, and there were many actual battles, but now he has become infantry, and after meeting Saddam Hussein halfway, he undertook his due task and protected Saddam, and along the way, he also became Saddam's absolute confidant.
"Our brother, where are these words! We never treat our friends badly, go, follow us to our station, we have slaughtered a few sheep and are waiting for our friends. Said said.
Following the other side, these defeated but still determined fighters in Iraq moved towards a new base area.
There are mountains everywhere, very similar to the situation in Afghanistan, even if the Americans will touch it, they don't have to worry about being annihilated by them, they can run everywhere.
After entering here, Mr. Xiao left, saying that he was going to contact more supporters and weapons, and Saddam, out of trust and at the same time had no other choice, told Mr. Xiao about a bank account in Switzerland, which contained tens of millions of dollars, which was Mr. Xiao's operating expenses.
In this way, they came to a camp in the mountains, and Saddam Hussein and his men stayed temporarily, and due to the constant attacks from the Iranian government, the Kurdish National Front did not have a good time, and often moved back and forth between various camps in the mountains.
After half a month, Saddam finally waited for Mr. Xiao's reply, and Mr. Xiao had already found some good men who were familiar with guerrilla warfare, joined Saddam's team, and guided his subordinates to carry out guerrilla warfare and strike hard at the US aggressors.
The border between Syria and Iraq was closely monitored by the Americans, which led to the fact that the missiles could not be transported, and now, when Saddam Hussein arrived in Iran, he simply went directly to Azerbaijan and transported them from the territory of the Iranian border.
This batch of missiles is still too late! Saddam Hussein couldn't help but sigh a little, if he could be a month earlier, in the face of the Americans' advance, Iraq would not be helpless.
Now, Iraq is left with missile launchers, most of which have been buried in the desert, and a few have been captured, and Iraq's ballistic missile strike capability can be regarded as completely useless.
Now, even if the missiles are delivered, there are not many launchers who can operate the missiles, and only a dozen or so people who are following Saddam's team are from the original missile unit, and at most they can get together to fire a single shot.
After waiting for another half a month, with the sound of the rumbling engine, the Scud missile launcher with a four-axle off-road chassis drove into the mountains!
Along with the arrival of armed men wearing turbans, AKM rifles, and carrying bazookas, Shostakovich jumped out of the car, looked at Saddam Hussein who ran towards him, and said: "Mr. President, everything you want has been brought to you, and the counterattack against the Americans can begin!" ”
Counterattack! Now, more than a month has passed,
On December 25, 93, the traditional Western festival of Christmas, the US military was stationed in the barracks of Iraq and Kuwait, and it was also a lively scene. (To be continued.) )
