The Islamic State's targeting of Samarra is not very surprising news for Cai Ruichen.

As early as half a month ago, there were signs of this.

The base is almost eighty kilometers from Samarra, and Baghdad is one hundred and twenty kilometers from Samarra.

The highway from Baghdad, Iraq, to the northern city of Mosul passes through Samarra and Tikrit.

Similarly, the railway passed through Samarra and then continued north to Mosul.

Samarra, which is located on a major transportation route, has a good economy from the beginning, and is surrounded by several oil wells, and is currently an important oil extraction city for the Iraqi government.

This move by the Islamic State has hit the nail on the head of Iraq, and once the Islamic State completely controls Samarra, it will be fatal to the current Iraqi government.

First, the Iraqi government will lose a very important oil source, and ISIS will have more oil to squander.

One in and one out, it's not as simple as one plus one.

Another reason is that after the loss of Samarra, the only barrier in the north, the capital Baghdad will also be directly under ISIS fire.

If the Islamic State does shell Baghdad, it will be an extremely heavy blow to the Iraqi government's image at home and abroad.

Then watch the lively Kurds on the sidelines, take advantage of the situation, and decisively establish a country, and when the time comes, once those big powers give up on the Iraqi government, I am afraid that they will also turn to the United States to support the Kurdish forces.

At that time, the Iraqi government will be in even worse trouble.

"So. For the Iraqi government. Samarra is determined not to lose anything. It is resolute. Natasha finally analyzed.

"The whole world knows this truth, but in the face of the recent massive expansion of the Islamic State forces, I am afraid that with the inaccessible army in Iraq, it is still not an opponent." Cai Ruichen said with some sarcasm.

While speaking, Idris hurriedly walked in, and Idris walked down from the No. 1 warehouse to the base hall for the first time, as if Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden, looking around with a shocked face.

Especially when he sees the hall. After the mighty giant eagle, he was even more frightened.

If Cai Ruichen hadn't called him, I'm afraid he would have lost his temper.

"ISIS has launched an attack on Samarra, you should know about it!"

Cai Ruichen looked at Idris, who was a little restless in front of him, and greeted Yuri again in his heart, let's see, what has become of a good child, seeing that he can't even sit still.

Idris nodded quickly and said respectfully, "Mr. Cai." I'm here to report on this. ”

"And what do you think?" Cai Ruichen asked directly.

"I'm all at Mr. Cai's orders." Idris didn't even think about it, and replied directly.

Seeing Idris without opinion. Cai Ruichen patted his head a little helplessly, and shouted in his heart: I hate Yuri.

"In that case, you can go back!" Cai Ruichen shook his head and said.

"Uh, Mr. Cai, what am I going to do when I go back?" Idris, who was waiting for instructions, instinctively wanted to get up and leave, but immediately reacted and asked.

"Go back and prepare for the war, I want you to take the opportunity to take Samarra City." Cai Ruichen said with a very serious face.

As soon as he heard Cai Ruichen's words, Idris was directly startled, and said with some stumbling: "Mr. Cai, I only have two thousand soldiers, and I don't have heavy equipment, this is ......"

"It's not that you should send troops to Samarra City right away, and we can't intervene in the current fighting, so I need you to rearm in the name of the Iraqi government army.

Soldiers, weapons and equipment, I will do my best to supply you when needed, and in terms of military command, I will also send professionals there, you just need to stand in front of the stage and do a good job of the political image that you, the nominal supreme commander, should do. Cai Ruichen said.

"I see, how do I tell my grandfather about this?" Idris asked.

"It's all your own, you know?" Cai Ruichen looked directly into Idris's eyes and said.

"Yes, please rest assured, Mr. Cai." After a loud assurance, Idris changed his voice and said to Cai Ruichen: "My grandfather asked me to inform you that he told you a few months ago that he would introduce a friend to you, and that person will arrive in a few days, I don't know if you have time to go." ”

"Reply to your grandfather, I will go on time, and at the same time I want to say thank you to your grandfather for personally intervening to persuade the situation in the town to move to the new residential area." After Cai Ruichen finished speaking, he waved his hand to signal that Idris could leave.

When Idris respectfully exited the hall and took the elevator back to Warehouse No. 1, Cai Ruichen muttered: "I don't know if Idris can do it, it's too worrying." ”

"We don't need his talent, as long as he can be obedient, and now it seems that Yuri is doing a good job, this man has been completely controlled." Natasha said from the side.

"The words are good, but after all, they are still too unassertive." Cai Ruichen said.

"How does the commander know that he has no opinions, in fact, outside, Idris is still very politically skillful." Natasha said.

"But when he sees me, he can't even speak, after all, he's more like a marionette to me." Cai Ruichen said.

"Isn't that the ideal choice for the Commander?" Natasha said.

When Cai Ruichen heard this, he shook his head decisively and said, "No, my ideal candidate should be Yuri, but there are more important things for him to do, and they are also a bit overkill." ”

Speaking of this, Cai Ruichen sighed helplessly and said: "The most regrettable thing is that I don't have an outstanding political talent around me. ”

"I believe that there will be one in the future, after all, ruling Iraq cannot completely rely on our people." Huang Xinrui approached and said.

"Hmm." When Cai Ruichen heard this, he nodded slightly sympatheticly, turned to look at Huang Xinrui and said, "Tomorrow you will go to the academy to take office, and I will also recruit some teachers to come over and help you." ”

"We will not let the commanders down, and we will definitely help the commanders to create an iron-bucket Iraqi future pattern." Huang Xinrui smiled slightly and said.

"Education is the foundation, and this aspect will be handed over to you in the future." Cai Ruichen nodded, liking Huang Xinrui's answer.

The ultimate purpose of education is not only to acquire more talents for the future, but also to unite the minds of the next generation of Iraqis and surround them around them.

This is no different from the purpose of free education at the Iraqi theological colleges. (To be continued......)
