Chapter 279 will not fail but will fail miserably
Bow and thank Feng Shen Yu Shao and Xian Wu Wanzhi for their monthly ticket support. I wish all friends a happy Children's Day:
Zhou Ming and Majid moved to the conference room. Salm was placed under house arrest by three members of the desert squad in his room, and followed Zhou Ming to the conference room with the remaining six members.
This is a very luxurious conference room, and it is also a private conference room newly prepared by Salm for himself. The floor is a layer of carpet with a thickness of slap, the conference table is made of millions of mahogany per ton, and the top of the head is exquisite crystal chandeliers. All the chairs are gilded, which looks like they can easily blind any 24k titanium alloy dog eyes. Zhou Ming sighs that Salm is worthy of being the emperor of Iraq, and even a conference room can be so rich.
Zhou Ming and Majid waited here for a while. Under Majid's notice, Iraq's Deputy Defense Minister and Communications Minister came to the room.
There is no doubt that no country can be dominated by a certain family. Even a dictator must be supported by other powerful forces. Iraq is no exception. The Hussein family where Salm and Majid are undoubtedly the largest, and other alliance families also occupy an important position in the government. This deputy minister of national defense and communications are two such figures.
It is also for this reason that today's meeting is not so much a military meeting as a meeting where the Hussein family represented by Majid wanted to obtain their support.
When they arrived, Majid told them that Salm was sick and unable to preside over the meeting, and now he was acting as Iraqi president. Both ministers were very surprised when they heard the news. After all, Salm had been president in Iraq for so long, and was only 53 years old now. He didn't hear any physical condition. He suddenly said that he had changed someone else. How could they not be surprised?
However, they were surprised for a moment, and they were very clever and did not express any opinions. After all, Salm came to power through a coup, and now he has encountered another coup, which is not unacceptable.
A few minutes later, Major General Zou Yue from the Chinese Military Corps also arrived at the conference room. The meeting officially began after introducing them to know each other.
Salm had previously announced the conditions for our surrender to the world, but unfortunately, neither the United States nor the United Nations would accept our conditions, which means the continued war. Therefore, yesterday, Salm ordered an indiscriminate attack on Gulf countries such as Saudi Arabia and Israel. Now, although he is sick, we want to continue the war for him.
Majid paused and continued: But in the next war, we cannot do the same as before. In order to defeat the enemy, defend Iraq, and defend our regime, we must change our tactical strategies. Now I am surrounded by the staff team from China.
Following Majid's words, Zhou Ming said: Hello everyone, I am Zhou Ming from China. I think the biggest reason for Iraq's failure before was to deploy the army on the front line of the war. In this way, it was targeted by fierce air strikes from multiple countries at the beginning of the war, resulting in heavy losses.
Then, we need to change from here to start. Our defense line will continue to shrink, abandon the strongholds on the border that cannot be defended, give up any field ideas, and specifically delay the Americans in street fighting and roadside guerrilla warfare in every city. Zhou Ming said that in this way, because our soldiers and American soldiers cross together, the enemy's high-tech weapons will lose their effect, and we have hope of winning.
Today is February 22. In Zhou Ming's memory, it has reached the end of the Gulf War. It can be said that Zhou Ming's current approach is to forcibly change history. It is also for this reason that Zhou Ming did not dare to delay at all. After the meeting was authorized, he left the Presidential Palace with Zou Yue and sent Zou Yue and his officers' regiment away.
It is worth mentioning that this time, Zou Yue and his officers' regiment were not the only ones who set out to save the war crisis in Basra, as well as the Kudian guerrillas who were already waiting for them on the road, as well as the desert squads and the troops Zou Yue temporarily taught in Badina these days.
For Zhou Ming, since everything about Badina has ended, it depends on the battle situation in the south now, so it is not necessary to keep the entire desert squad by his side.
Although there are only six soldiers in the Desert Squad, they are all elite soldiers selected from thousands of places. They have very strong physical fitness and are proficient in various combat skills. The intuition on the battlefield is very accurate. Such warriors may not be useful in major battles of the Hundred Regiments Wars, but in small-scale street battles, they have the opportunity to receive miraculous effects. Zhou Ming believes that Zou Yue, a very smart general, will definitely have a solution.
As for the other temporary corps, they were all soldiers who retreated from the front after undergoing air strikes and were screened out by Zou Yue.
Although the standards of the elite Chinese army are still far behind, they can't control so many battles for the upcoming battle. According to Zou Yue's introduction, Zhou Ming only remembers that the 4,000 team was divided into two regiments according to the habits of the Chinese army, with two soldiers who impressed him more deeply, namely Ashien and Baker.
So, when Zou Yue and his army boarded the train to Basra, Majid also issued an attack order to the missile force, and dozens of Scud missiles were fired. When the planes of multiple troops went to search for the anti-missile missiles everywhere, the army successfully arrived in Basra.
On the battlefield of guns and gun smoke, the war led by himself will officially begin, but for Zhou Ming, there is another war that will also begin.
After seeing Zou Yue away, Zhou Ming returned to his room, took out his satellite phone and dialed Lin Muqing's number.
When the number was connected and Zhou Ming told Lin Muqing about his identity, Lin Muqing immediately worried: Zhou Ming, are you okay now? I heard that Iraq has surrendered and you are not injured. The situation over there is very dangerous now. Salm is a dictatorial madman. He won't do anything to you. You should come back. We are all worried about you.
Although Lin Muqing's concern made Zhou Ming feel warm, Zhou Ming still had to interrupt her and said: My Sister Muqing, I am very good in Iraq now. Salm has been completely controlled by me. Now the situation here is under my control.
What else does Lin Muqing want to say, but Zhou Ming said first: Sister Muqing, I know you and Ranran care about me very much, but now I have more important things to ask you, how is the situation in the international crude oil futures market now?
Lin Muqing is indeed very concerned about Zhou Ming, but she is not a woman who is not serious, so she also suppresses her great concern for Zhou Ming and answers him: Affected by the news that Salm announced his surrender, the international market is currently generally optimistic about the Gulf War, and international crude oil futures prices are also affected by this. From the previous highest 60 dollar mark, it has now fallen below 39 dollars, and the decline has exceeded 35%.
Lin Muqing thought about it and said: And according to the overall situation, as the US military wins this Gulf War, all large futures companies and investment banks generally believe that the international crude oil futures prices will fall further, so most institutions are selling their own crude oil futures, which is another important reason for the further decline in international crude oil futures prices.
This is really good news. Zhou Ming said, Sister Mu Qing, let’s sell it now, and we will also join forces with the Tang family and Brighton’s company to sell it, so that international crude oil futures will fall to a lower price.
Zhou Ming then changed the subject and continued: However, this selling action can only last until at most 1:00 pm in the U.S. time. After 1:00, we must recover as much crude oil futures contract as possible without affecting the price. Especially in the last half hour of the on-site bidding time, we must buy all the crude oil futures contracts we can see. Do you understand.
Zhou Ming, what you mean is that Americans are going to hear news of failure. Lin Muqing asked in surprise.
Chapter completed!
