Chapter 107: Stormy Iraq
Now Iraq has long been divided into three parts of the world, and there are countless warlords with strong clan colors.
Like the countless tribal armed forces in Pakistan and Afghanistan, a large part of them are armed spokesmen controlled by intelligence organizations in various countries, just like the former Jeril in Marin Town, which is an armed force controlled by Israel's Mossad.
Originally, the CIA supported armed spokesmen in order to better combat terrorist forces, but this original intention has gradually deteriorated and has become a link between the CIA's interests and control in Iraq.
Then there are the various armed groups supported by European countries in Iraq, most of which appear under the guise of international mercenary companies and distribute Iraq's own interests among them.
After all, Iraq produces millions of barrels of oil every day, and this profit cake is too tempting for those who have ideas to be tempted.
As for the three major organizations in Iraq, not to mention the Islamic State, several years have passed, and the more countries suppress them, the stronger they become.
Every day, the oil sold to the international oil black market at a low price can bring the organization millions, if not tens of millions, of dollars in real revenue.
This kind of dumping of oil in the international market at ultra-low oil prices is actually what NATO likes to see the most.
And the route of the Islamic State dumping oil still passes through Turkey, if it were not for the tacit approval of NATO, or even the covert support, where would it be so easy.
As we all know, oil and gas account for 40% of Russia's fiscal revenue, and Russia is also the world's largest oil producer.
With ISIS's oil dumping for many years in a row. There is also no need for the United States to cooperate with Saudi Arabia to control oil prices. Economic sanctions against Russia. The Islamic State alone is enough to keep the Russian economy in a cold winter.
The Islamic State also has the meaning of existence, otherwise a small Islamic State, where is it possible to develop under the double blow of Russia and NATO, if the two sides really take action, if they are not destroyed, they will burn high incense.
Quite the meaning of the existence of the Islamic State, there is also the issue of Syria, which will be slowly touched upon later. Not much of a hassle here.
In addition to the Iraqi government, there is another force in Iraq, and that is the Kurdish forces.
At first, it seemed that the Kurdish forces were in league with the government army, but in fact this was not the case at all.
As the Iraqi government leaned towards Russia and wanted to play left and right, the United States vigorously supported the Kurdish forces, asking for money for money and equipment for equipment.
Soon the Kurds were well strengthened in the fight against the Islamic State. The size of the troops is hundreds of thousands, and each of them is an elite warrior.
And the Kurds and Jews. The Persians and Arabs are the four ancient peoples of the Middle East. The Turks all came to the Middle East later.
Today's Middle East territory is basically the result of the division of the defeated Ottoman Turkish Empire by Britain, France, Italy and other Entente powers after World War I. As a result, the Kurdish region was divided into four separate states: British-controlled Persia and Iraq, French-controlled Syria, and the remnants of Turkey.
The Kurdish nation has been calling for an independent state, the unification of the Kurdish regions scattered within the territory of the four countries into an independent Kurdistan state. So the Kurds were persecuted and suppressed by these four countries.
Iraq during Saddam Hussein even carried out a systematic genocide against the Kurds.
Now, thanks to the existence of the Islamic State, the Kurdish armed forces have an opportunity to develop, and sure enough, they have developed impressively.
But in the end, it is impossible for the Kurds, who are bent on seeking statehood, to be of the same mind as the Iraqi government.
Gradually, it was branded as an anti-government army by the Iraqi government army, so a very peculiar scene appeared.
The United States supports the Iraqi government and Kurdish forces even more, and secretly helps the Islamic State dump oil on the international black market.
As a result, Iraq was divided into three different circles of influence, and around these three forces were armed warlords, large and small.
In the game between international powers and powerful countries, the real loss is the interests of small countries.
It sounds cruel, but it's an inescapable fact.
Since ancient times, the great power game was not accompanied by various disasters for small countries.
Afghanistan in the past is proof that as long as Afghanistan is out of the capital Kabul, no place is not an enemy-occupied area of various terrorist organizations, and there is no longer a country.
Iraq is also the most obvious example, Iraq is divided into three parts, the Iraqi government controls the area, that is, Baghdad and the southeast, to the west and a little north, there is nothing to do with the Iraqi government.
Even if the Iraqi government wanted to manage it, it would not be able to reach out.
The Islamic State has already been established, although no one will recognize such a state.
And the Kurdish forces have also left the last fig leaf for the Iraqi government, and under the control of the United States, there are no overt targeted actions, but in fact they are similar to the Islamic State.
With such a complex situation, it can indeed be said that the people in Iraq are struggling to make ends meet.
With the identity given by the base, Cai Ruichen can be regarded as a strong entry into Iraq, which is already a stormy Iraq, and the changes are even more impermanent.
Now, except for Israel, which can't sit still, all forces are waiting, even the Islamic State, which has given a reward, is only thunder and rain, and there is no substantive action against Cai Ruichen.
There are really people who are jealous of the 500,000 reward, and they really killed Cai Ruichen, and there is no loss for ISIS.
The same is true for other forces, anyway, Cai Ruichen's purpose is unknown, and that's what happened when he died.
But let them do it now, and all of them should cherish their feathers, so as not to attract unfavorable international public opinion.
After all, the identity given to Cai Ruichen by the base still makes him very important in the international academic school.
He is also an international celebrity, and he immediately built a large general hospital in Iraq, occupying the commanding heights of international humanity.
The current Cai Ruichen is also unlucky whoever touches him.
Idris is different, they can't deal with Cai Ruichen blatantly, but they won't be polite to Idris.
So all kinds of temptations followed, otherwise he would not have complained to Cai Ruichen again, after all, he was under too much pressure.
In three days, he was invited to tea by the intelligence department of the Iraqi armed forces, and all kinds of interrogations were naturally indispensable.
However, in order to embolden Idris, Cai Ruichen gave him 1,000 mobilized soldiers as soon as possible, as well as 2,000 mobilized soldiers of the future security company, all kinds of equipment, if it is really hard, it is not without the strength to fight back.
It's just that when it really comes to the point where swords and soldiers must fight, it also means that the situation is really dangerous. (To be continued......)
