Chapter 326: Parties, Delays
The higher-ups in Baghdad are still quarrelling, and along the Euphrates River, it is already boiling over.
The river is starting to dry up, and several local families in several towns along the river, such as Sahiliya, have begun to pack up their belongings and prepare to run away.
After all, no matter how awesome you are, you will die of thirst if you don't have water!
Of course, this is not to say that the well at home can't pump groundwater, there is still water, but how many people are there in the town?
The fuck knows what these dying of thirst can do!
However, in all kinds of riots, rebellions, and chaos, the local landlord class, which is not big or small, is the first to bear the brunt of the destruction of their families and people, and this has nothing to do with culture.
Sahiliye, Hit, Agabai, the first to flee out of the city were those local big families, driving their cars and dragging their families straight to Ramadi!
The nearest provincial capital city, at this time, the power of the individual can not do anything at all, people have to choose to believe in the government, no matter how bad the government is, this kind of large provincial capital city will never ignore it!
People think that the big guys always have to drink water, and besides, if it doesn't work, you can go to Baghdad through Ramadi, to the north!
Since the evening, a large number of people have arrived in Ramadi!
β¦β¦
At the same time, a group of journalists protected by the Imperial Fortress had arrived near the bombed-out stretch of the river, which had become even more swampy.
Normal banks of the river are dammed, human beings rely on the river for tens of thousands of years, will not fail to manage the river, so although the land on both sides of the river is wet, the river water infiltration is not serious.
But when the terrorists blasted the embankment, including the land on both sides, it immediately loosened up, while the land itself in the distance was not dammed and easily infiltrated by water and turned into mud.
Therefore, in the reporter's photos and videos, there was a swampy area with a radius of more than 1 kilometer at the original location of the river, and a mud pond.
This kind of picture, even those who don't know how to manage water conservancy understand that this special river can't be dredged!
Taking Huayuankou as an example, it took 38 years to excavate and 46 years to restore the old road, which took 8 years before and after!
Without a helicopter, aerial photography is impossible, but a professional is a professional.
The sunset should have been beautiful, but under the lens of these reporters, it was full of loneliness and gloom, and with that piece of mud, it was really an apocalyptic scene.
Anyway, Wang Zhen was shocked when he saw those photos on the website afterwards, I was grass, I didn't look so scary when I saw it!
β¦β¦
The parliamentary quarrel in Baghdad finally stopped at nightfall, not to get anything, but to get off work!
As for the resolution...... Or wait.
Be calm in case of big things!
After leaving the parliament building and getting into their respective cars, the anger on the faces of some of the parliamentarians was swept away.
These people actually received information that the terrorists were going to detonate the river two days in advance, and responded to it, so they were not so panicked when it came to the end.
The ones who quarreled, everyone had a point.
They themselves are well aware that, with the capabilities of the current Iraqi government, they simply cannot solve it themselves.
In this matter, we have to turn to the Americans.
So, it's enough to be prepared for your own side.
Besides, most of the families and supporters behind these parliamentarians are northerners and easterners, and their actual interests will not suffer any loss, and they may be strengthened by the disaster in the south.
So, they're not really in such a hurry.
Everyone has their own calculations behind them.
Including the Kurdish president, who returned to his office with a blue face and a huff, his face returned to calm after closing the door.
Sitting behind his desk and looking up at the map on the side wall, a mocking smile tugged at the corner of Mr. President's lips.
Who's in a hurry?
Than patience!
His power comes from Kurds and Americans in northern Iraq, and he is not the president elected by Iraqis.
What does the loss of the strength of the Iraqis have to do with him!
Anyway, every time the Americans come out to clean up the mess, he directly chooses to mess up.
Or else?
Who can he command?
β¦β¦
Is the existence of local tycoons valuable?
Where is their value?
Is it exploitation?
Yes!
But what about beyond exploitation?
After the tycoons of Sahiliya, Hit, and Agabai fled to Ramadi, the whole town was in chaos.
beating, smashing, robbing, rioting, fire prevention...... Panic soon enveloped the towns.
What do you say is missing here?
Without those guys who exploit them on weekdays, who are envied and cursed by them all day long, in the eyes of everyone, these people don't do anything except do their jobs, but now without these people, the people at the bottom are in chaos as if they lack the backbone.
So, the pick-up must exist, everyone is really equal, then it will be chaotic......
The second group of people who ran away from these towns were the middle- and upper-income families with better conditions, driving in the footsteps of the wealthy families towards Ramadi.
When this group arrived, it was already the next morning.
And at this moment, Khatib Hafez was in this group of people, including the most elite terrorists, a full 500 people, who were reduced to zero, like refugees, driving into Ramadi.
Ramadi is the provincial government, and it stands to reason that the management should be better, but in the face of the sudden flow of people, the response is extremely slow, no one checks, no one maintains law and order, and no one helps settle down.
Of course, these people are still rich and can settle themselves.
Khatib Hafez didn't expect it to go so smoothly, not even a person to interrogate!
It's Tikrit, their terrorist-controlled area, so many outsiders want to come in, they have to be interrogated and searched!
They came in with guns, ammunition, weapons!
β¦β¦
What is the Ramadi provincial government doing?
Also quarrelling!
In fact, the top management knew the news two days in advance, but they were not flustered.
Ramadi is built next to the river, but the city does not draw water directly from the Euphrates, but from Lake Celsar upstream!
In other words, even if the flow is cut off, it will not affect the water supply of the city of Ramadi, of course, a little...... Well, a large part of the poor may be a little troublesome and need to get water at a fixed time, but the problems of the poor are all minor problems.
The reason for their quarrel is how to ensure Ramadi's political position in this crisis, whether he can expand his influence and make more profits!
A crisis is also an opportunity!
Like Ramadi, the cities of Habbaniah and Fallujah are also in no hurry, and their water comes from the adjacent Lake Habbaniah, which is not short of water as long as it does not dry up.
The only ones who are really anxious are the downstream areas behind Fallujah, where there are really no lakes to gnaw on except for some reservoirs, and once the river is completely cut off, they will only die of thirst.
Therefore, after the news came, the river was full of people fetching water, and it was good to fight for position, and in this country where guns were extremely proliferated, there were countless people who shot directly in order to fight for the position of grabbing water.
In this densely populated area, any well that can produce water stably has become an important resource and will be firmly guarded by the people around it.
It is foreseeable that in another three to five days, when the river will be completely cut off and the lack of fresh water will reach a certain level, these wells will definitely become the center of contention, and it is certain that it will cause riots!
Babylon, Qadisia, Muthanna, Najaf, Dhi Qar!
Five provinces have turned into a bag of explosives that can explode at any moment!
β¦β¦
It took only a few seconds for the message to reach the United States, well, maybe nothing.
But because of the time difference, this matter can only be dealt with until work.
Okuroko had breakfast, arrived at the office, and was stunned for a moment when he heard the secretary's report, "Didn't it explode a long time ago?" β
"No, it was the CIA who got the news before, and it just blew up."
"The ability of terrorists to act is really worrying." Okuroko laughed humorously, "I thought it had been a month." β
"Well, didn't you let the experts make a plan before, send it to Iraq, and let them do it according to this method."
As he spoke, Okuheko looked at his watch, "Don't be too anxious, people don't cherish things that are easy to get, they must be remembered by people after hard work, with a lot of sweat, time, and sacrifice." β
"Haven't we done enough for the Iraqis, and what are you getting after investing tens of billions of dollars in them over the years?"
"It's attack, it's opposition, it's hatred!"
"So I ordered the withdrawal of the troops, no matter what!"
"Mr. Bush Jr. has protected this group of Iraqis so well that they are naΓ―ve to think that they can live happily without the United States."
"It's ridiculous, look at Yemen, after decades of fighting, that's what makes life difficult, before us, didn't Iraq fight?"
"Hit, and for ten years!"
"As long as there are religious contradictions between Iraqis and Persians, they will not be at peace!"
"At night, tell them that I know they're close, but don't rush just yet!"
"I see, Mr. President, you are really wise, and this is the management skill, and it is also the fundamental reason why the United States has developed more than Mr. Bush Jr. in recent years." The secretary laughed and patted his ass.
"Haha, don't say that, it's the effort of all Americans." Okuroko said with a smile.
β¦β¦
"No news yet?" Wang Zhen asked with a frown.
"No, the government hasn't made any valuable responses to this." Faisal spread his hands, "Don't condemn or anything." β
The corners of Wang Zhen's mouth twitched, condemning your uncle!
"No, the river is broken, is this a big deal for me?" Wang Zhen's face was full of puzzlement.
"I also think it's a big deal, but the government really hasn't responded to it." Faisal said with a frown.
"You're really fucking, I'll see you for a long time!!" Wang Zhen shook his head and sighed, every time this kind of disaster happened, he had to sigh once in China.
"What about the journalists?"
"It's all arranged in the new district." Shovel said.
"Didn't those reporters send the news out? What is the reaction from abroad? Wang Zhen asked again.
"No reaction, how much do you think it will happen?" Natalia shrugged, "Just that swamp? β
"As for the consequences of water shortages, it's not unusual to report on Chad, Algeria, Niger, and Western Sahara!"
"When there is a large-scale riot in the central and southern regions, and many people die, will it attract the attention of the whole world...... bar. β
"I'm not sure."
Wang Zhen scratched his head, it was really ......
