Chapter 696: Follow-up Reaction Three
The five infantry divisions of the Kurdish armed forces advanced rapidly into the central region, occupying a city almost every two or three days, and the local guards and police had no way to stop it, and often surrendered or fled before the battle began.
As a well-known fighting nation, the fighters of the Kurd tribe do not lack combat skills and courage, and the only flaw is that they have not been trained in the knowledge of modern warfare, and they do not know how to use modern weapons and equipment and tactics, after all, the environment in which they live is different.
However, with Wu Chen personally in charge and the high-level leaders of the mercenary corps commanding him, this defect was quickly remedied. The troops at the front were responsible for clearing the obstacles and driving the Turkish army and police away, while the irregular troops in the rear were responsible for guarding the city and organizing the manpower to ensure normal operation.
There is also a very important reason, most of the places in the east and south were originally inhabited by the Kurand ethnic group, and they were naturally very supportive of the great cause of the founding of the country, providing a large amount of food and water for their own army, and intelligence was also indispensable.
Moreover, in just half a month, the number of new recruits who have joined the Kurdish armed forces has reached 300,000, and every city and township has its own National Guard, which shows how eager this nation is to have its own country.
The current situation has also caused extreme panic among the Turkish government and military, and the Kurds want to occupy Turkey. At the same time, huge demonstrations broke out in various localities, and when it was learned that 100,000 troops had been annihilated by the local Kurdish armed forces overnight, the families of those soldiers, in their intense grief and anger, began to besiege the gates of the local governments, demanding that the government immediately stop the war, demanding that the prime minister and the interior come to power, and demanding severe punishment of the military leaders.
"This is simply a big joke and farce, the second largest permanent army of NATO, was annihilated by the Kurdish local armed forces at one time, more than 70,000 people were captured, I suspect that it was a mistake to agree to Turkey's accession to NATO, such an army is not capable of completing NATO's strategic mission, and it can't keep itself!" The chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff took this incident as a joke and despised the Turkish army very much.
"The reason why NATO was optimistic about Turkey at the beginning was mainly because of the geographical location of this country, especially the strategic significance of the Turkish Strait, which could restrain and threaten the Black Sea Fleet of the former Soviet Union, and now that the former Soviet Union has collapsed, the mercenary corps guarded Ukolan and intercepted the footsteps of Russia's westward expansion, and Turkey is no longer so important to the United States."
"This is a very restless country, always thinking about restoring the glory of the former Ottoman Empire, although there is no concrete action yet, but for the United States and NATO, it has become an unstable factor, and I think it is in the interests of the US government to have a Turkey that is constantly in turmoil." said the Minister of Defense.
In this world where fists speak, the strength of force also represents its own right to speak, and since Turkey's mud can't support the wall, and even the local armed forces can't handle it, then the US government does not plan to provide assistance to this NATO member.
The point is that the value of the current use is low, there are mercenaries to suppress the actions of Russia, which clears the way for NATO's eastward expansion, and there is no Turkey, in fact, it has little impact on the overall strategy, and this country has always been the type to drag its feet, like the war in Cyprus.
"The reason why Turkey's imminent military operation failed this time and penetrated into the encirclement of the Kurds, the CIA can confirm that mercenaries are behind the scenes. Our military satellites and agents have monitored that all of the top figures of the Golden Triangle International Security Company are in Mosul, including the instructor who is in charge of the battle. ”
"Through Mosul, the mercenary regiment has delivered a large number of former Soviet BM-27 sixteen-barreled 220-mm rocket launchers, American 100-5mm towed howitzers, and a large number of ammunition materials to the Kurds.
"According to our judgment, the oil reserves of the Kurdish Autonomous Region in Iraq account for 60 percent of the country's share, which is the greatest wealth, and it is also a condition that the mercenaries or the Golden Triangle Federation can hardly refuse, and the Kurds will do whatever it takes to establish their own country, and I think this is the most reasonable explanation at present." The CIA director said as if he had a toothache.
According to the data of the US oil exploration agency, Iraq has at least 150 billion barrels of oil, and the reserves of the Kurdish Autonomous Region are 90 billion barrels, although the data may be somewhat incorrect, but it will not be less than 80 billion barrels of crude oil. The Golden Triangle Federation has always had red eyes when it sees mineral resources, and this transaction will naturally not be shirked, and it is natural that this scene will appear.
"Your Excellency, what is the position of our side of the US government, including NATO, on the current situation in Turkey? With the regular army on the other side retreating and the Kurdish army about to enter the central region, the Turkish government is likely to ask for help, such as a temporary de-escalation through negotiations, and wait until the strength is accumulated before launching an attack on the Kurd. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said.
"This is an internal matter between the Turkish government and the Kurdish ethnic group, and the US government respects the choice of both sides and proposes to settle the dispute through negotiations, and the use of force will only bring endless harm and huge economic losses to the people of the two ethnic groups, and the presidential office adopts a policy of non-intervention in this regard."
"If it weren't for the successive Turkish governments that went too far and forced the Kurds so badly again and again, there would not be what happened now, but we all know that Turkey, whether in terms of military strength or economic base, is far beyond the Kurds, one is a new type of quasi-developed country, the other is a backward mountainous people, there is not much comparison, the only thing that can support this war is that the Kurd people are brave and good at fighting, and the desire to build a country is beyond life."
"After the war in Cyprus, Turkey found that there are shortcomings in the navy and air force, we do not sell advanced weapons and equipment, they solved this problem by going to Russia, so if the negotiations are too long, Turkey is bound to mobilize all resources to wage a war, and the Kurds plus the mercenaries can't resist it, and the war is determined by high-tech equipment and money."
"For the sake of the long-term interests of the United States in the Middle East, we can appropriately allow mercenaries to sell advanced equipment to the Kurds, and the CIA will secretly fund it, so that this war can continue, and the contradictions and hatred between the two peoples are irreconcilable." said the Minister of Defense.
