MTL - From Arms Dealer To King of War-Chapter 664 oil kingdom in trouble
Chapter 664 The oil kingdom in trouble
While Qiaojia and the others were waiting, a lot of people came from the direction of the base...
The ground conditions where the rockets ravaged were very bad, and the saturation strike left no living person there.
Colonel Hardy of the Iraqi government army, who just came here on a routine basis, saw the Kurdish flags sprayed on the doors of those scrapped vehicles. He rushed to Choja in a little panic and said, "Jackal, what happened here? Why? So many PKK people died?"
Qiaojia pointed at his armored vehicle and said with a smile: "I have a recorder in my car, and there are detailed records of what happened."
When Colonel Hardy heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then said distressedly: "It's better to have evidence. As long as it can be confirmed that they launched the attack first, the Kurds have nothing to say."
Qiaojia thought about the inexplicable appearance of the anti-tank missile and the last rocket to wash the ground. He touched his nose and said, "Someone is deliberately provoking the relationship between the coalition forces and the Kurds. They set up an ambush on the road. On the verge of encountering the Kurds, a Javelin missile was fired at them."
When Colonel Hardy heard this, he said incredulously: "You killed them all because they had a misunderstanding with you?"
Talking, Hardy grabbed his not too much hair with both hands, and said in pain: "Jackal, we are in trouble!"
A "we" made Choja very satisfied with Colonel Hardy's attitude, which represented the attitude of the Iraqi government forces today.
The passive sabotage of the Kurds made the government forces represented by Hardy very dissatisfied. However, in order to ensure unity and deal with the supervision of the American father, they must maintain patience and keep adding troops to Mosul, which is destined to be handed over to the Kurds. .
Now nearly 200 people from the Kurdish Labor Party have died at once, and it seems that the fault is not entirely theirs, which makes Hardy feel troublesome...
The target of Isis stands there, and the nature of our coalition forces cannot be shaken, but the Kurds will definitely find it from other places after suffering a loss. This matter is very troublesome, and someone will definitely take the blame.
Hardy appreciates what P·B has done for Iraq. No matter how much money they make, they have indeed provided a lot of employment, trade, and precious and unusual stability to southern Iraq.
If P·B is driven away because of the Kurdish issue, Hardy feels that the war in Mosul will never see an end.
Seeing that Colonel Hardy's forehead was sweating, Choga patted his arm with a smile and said, "Don't worry, let them come to me if you have any questions.
These people are from the Labor Party, which means they came from Turkey.
I have no prejudice against them, but to be honest, these people are not Iraqis, and they bring the malicious eyes of the Turks.
I don't care if they were provoked or anything, they hit my people first, and then they attacked me when I was about to discuss right and wrong with them.
Hardy, although my main responsibility in coming to Iraq is to do logistics, I am still a mercenary!
They shoot me, I kill them, it makes sense! "
Hearing this, Hardy said in embarrassment: "Sir, you don't understand that the Baghdad government has been putting pressure on the Kurds to increase their troops to fight in Mosul."
Speaking, Hardy approached Choga and whispered: "The Iranians are dissatisfied with the situation in Iraq, they think we are too weak, and they are also putting pressure on our prime minister.
Now if the Kurds catch the handle and the disturbance continues, the whole of Iraq will be dragged into the confrontation with the Turks. "
What Hardy said was not clear, but Choja understood...
There are experts in the Kurdish armed forces. They took advantage of the opportunity of the American father to fight ISIS and relied on the support of the American father to drag the whole of Iraq into the water.
They took in the hammered Labor Party, and then pulled the whole of Iraq together to fight against the pressure from Turkey.
People in the Iraqi government are also having a hard time. Their country has been smashed by the old American hammer, and they have been reduced from a big brother in the Middle East to a little brother.
Can’t break away from the support of the big brother Iran next door, and dare not offend the evil neighbor in Turkey, let alone listen to the opinions of the American father.
The problem of Mosul caused them to be dragged into the water by the Kurds again.
The Americans are here, and they are not too afraid of hard-topping Turkey, but doing so is de facto supporting the independence of the Kurds.
This **** is like a fly mixed in the rice, next to it is a pile of stinky dog shit, if you don’t eat it, you will starve to death, anyway, you have to choose one...
Thinking about the unfortunate situation of Hardy and the others, Qiaojia nodded sympathetically and said, "I know the general situation, but you have already been dragged in!
Besides, Mosul is the land of Iraq, so you should contribute. "
Hearing this, Hardy shook his head with an ugly expression and said, "We want to drive out Isis and restore peace in the territory, but we know that we can't satisfy the appetite of the Kurds.
The jackal, the Turk Chen Bing border, is not just someone who wants to fight the Kurdish Labor Party.
They are worried that after the Kurds take control of Mosul, they will cut off the oil pipeline from the Kirkuk oil field in northern Iraq to the Turkish Mediterranean port of Ceyhan.
That pipeline is an important source of crude oil and funding for Turkey, which is their strategic core interest.
If the pipeline falls into the hands of the Kurds, it will become their bargaining chip, and no one wants to see this happen. "
Qiaojia nodded suddenly after hearing this...
The oil pipeline is the blood of industry. If the Kurds choke Turkey's industrial blood, they will be passive.
No wonder Turkey is ready to risk the world and prepare to cross the border into Iraq to attack the Kurds.
This is not simply attacking the Labor Party, this is defending their own energy interests.
The Iraqi government is very weak. When they saw the hope of stability in the south, they didn't think of a quick solution at all, but delay.
They are not trying to pit P·B, but once Mosul is quickly captured, the power and influence of the Kurds in the territory will skyrocket, and then they will not be able to explain to Iran and Turkey, two evil neighbors.
So in the battle of Mosul, the Iraqi government forces behaved very decently and would never harass civilians.
How could this be possible? How could it be possible to control the casualties of soldiers?
They want to procrastinate now until the US loses patience, until NATO takes the initiative to intervene, let the American father step in to solve the problem, and let the two evil neighbors find no excuse to embarrass them.
Joga thought that there were high-level people in the Kurdish team just now, but now he thinks he thinks highly of them.
They can only see the immediate benefits, but not the follow-up problems.
At least Choja knows that the Turks have received the tacit approval of the old United States and can bomb the Kurds.
The Kurds are not really stupid, they have to gamble with luck if they want to realize their dreams.
They are now putting the Iraqi government in a dilemma. Some of them are not human, and they have to bite the bullet and support them. The benefits must be reaped in a short time.
But Choja didn’t get used to them. The Iraqi government was his important collaborator, and the Kurdish militants gave him nothing.
Joga looked at the embarrassed Colonel Hardy, thinking about the bombing that the Turks would soon come, he shook his head sympathetically and said: "Don't expect the Kurdish armed people to work hard, let's find a way by ourselves.
Tomorrow we will establish an evacuation point for residents in Mosul. This time we only need to hold it and let the outside world see a little progress, so that you can give some explanation to the Yankees who put pressure. "
As he spoke, Choga glanced at the government soldiers who were collecting the bodies of the Kurdish fighters, he nodded with a smile, and said, "If the Kurdish fighters make trouble, let them come to the Mosul base to find me.
People who dare to beat me after eating my food, if they don’t establish rules for them, they don’t even know what their last name is! "
It was the first time that Hardy met the boss of a foreign military organization who did not blame him for anything. After thinking for a while, he said gratefully: "Sir, thank you very much for your understanding and help!"
Qiaojia laughed after hearing this, patted the rather handsome colonel on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Since we have decided to delay, then don't let the soldiers go up blindfolded to die.
The casualty rate in the house-by-house competition is too high, let's switch to a security war.
Send people into the city to collect information, and attack ISIS with a targeted target.
If possible, encourage the residents of Mosul to leave the city and take your time. If the war can be ended with as few deaths as possible, even if it takes a little longer, it will be a good result. "
Hearing this, Hardy looked at Choga in surprise and puzzled, and said, "Sir, you are not from the US..."
Choga waved his hand decisively and said: "America is not a single piece of iron, I am on the same side as Ambassador Steven.
Actually, we are more interested in developing the south, after all the big oil fields are in the south, right?
And you have to understand that military contracting companies are not the same thing as the American government.
They can work hard, but they are probably the last wave to want the war to end. "
Joga’s words were like a reassurance, and Colonel Hardy said in surprise: "This is good, this is good, take your time, less people will die...
As long as the international community understands that we have made progress, it is enough! "
While speaking, Colonel Hardy looked at Choja and said a little embarrassedly: "Sir, we can't turn against the Kurds for the time being. I will try my best to mediate. If I can't stand it anymore, I may still need you to come forward..."
Qiaojia nodded indifferently and said, "You don't need to be hard-pressed, just let them come to me, I just want to see how strong and stupid these people are!"
As he spoke, Qiaojia looked at the 'Cerberus' who were in charge of the search in the distance. They came back, but there were two cars when they went there, and there was only one car when they came back...
