I want to be a warlord

Things in the Middle East are far away... There were no righteous wars in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the same is true in the Middle East.

From the moment Shadamu came to power, he began to massacre the Kurds in order to maintain his rule, and ended up provoking the Iran-Iraq war, it completely kicked off.

Among the various forces involved in the Gulf, except for (China), there is no absolutely righteous party.

The series of wars in Iraq are ultimately about oil.

From the beginning of the Soviet Union's support for Shadamu, the purpose was to disrupt the Gulf region, spread to Saudi Arabia and Iran, reduce oil production, allow Soviet oil to occupy a larger market share, increase oil prices, and increase the Soviet Union's national power.

The United States had no choice but to support Iran, which had just fallen out, and at the same time block the fortifications of Shadamu, appease Saudi Arabia, force Saudi Arabia to increase production, seize the oil market, lower oil prices, and reduce the Soviet Union's national power and war potential.

The Iran-Iraq war reduced Iraq's national strength to zero. Seeing that it could not repay its foreign debt, Sha Damu came up with the idea of ​​​​killing its creditors, which triggered the war in Kuwait.

At this time, the United States seized the opportunity to act righteously and destroy the Iraqi army.

The country was destroyed but could not be destroyed. In order to rebuild, Iraq could only increase oil production and squeeze the oil market. Eventually, the Soviet Union's economy collapsed and disintegrated.

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Shadamu became ambitious. In order to get rid of the control of the United States, he wanted to use Europe to balance the United States and settle oil in euros. Europe was happy to see this happen, but the United States would never agree. In 03, the Iraq War began.

After the death of Si Damu, the United States also suffered a backlash.

After the war, many European countries, led by France, made trouble for the United States in the media and public opinion. Well, Russia also did it.

Only Britain sided with the United States, and this was evident from the garrison.

The United States has suffered a lot of criticism and has a bad reputation. With the connivance of France and Russia, the Shia countries have grown in power.

As the world's number one, it is naturally hostile to all parties. In order to reverse the situation, the United States changed its strategy and found a new enemy for the Europeans, China.

In 08, marked by PetroChina's return to Iraq, by 2011, with the help of China, some oil fields began to gradually resume production, and international oil prices began to fall.

That same year, U.S. troops withdrew from Iraq.

Chinese products began to seize the European market in large quantities, and relations became tense. Europe launched successive anti-dumping measures. Taking advantage of the European economic downturn, the United States took successive actions and annexed many super companies in European countries.

After withdrawing its hands from Iraq, the United States changed hands and began to support an anti-government armed force in Syria. The target was Russia's only overseas military port, the Syrian military port of Tartus, using this as a means to attract European countries.

Let me ask you, do European countries want to seize the opportunity and cut off Russia’s overseas tentacles? !

Including the Turkish chicken, after everyone took the bait, the United States suddenly stopped, and European countries were forced to re-enter the arms of the United States to fight against China and Russia!

The civil strife in Syria has given terrorists a breeding ground, and multiple extremist organizations have been born.

At the same time, in 2013, U.S. shale oil technology reached its peak, production soared, and crude oil prices were at high levels, so the crude oil reserves in the hands of U.S. oil companies also reached their peak.

In order to maintain their market share in the crude oil industry, Saudi Arabia and other OPEC member states adopted the tactic of injuring one thousand and killing eight hundred of the enemy. They frantically began to increase oil production in order to combat high oil prices and severely damage the U.S. shale oil industry. .

Oil prices began to plummet in 2014, and the dollar began to inflate rapidly!

At this time, in February 2014, Al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Syrian Nusra Front, issued a declaration stating that the establishment and funding of the Syrian Nusra Front came from the original "Al Qaeda in Iraq" and that the two organizations would be merged into "Iraq and Al-Sham al-Sham." "ISIS" (ISIS).

But then, Al Qaeda publicly declared that IS's behavior was too extreme and severed all ties with it.

At the beginning, all countries did not take ISIS seriously, but it got out of control. At this time, the United States followed the trend and ignored ISIS as the world police who shouted anti-terrorism all day long, allowing them to invade Iraq and let Iraq Oil production dropped significantly.

Hopefully the war will stabilize oil prices.

But what the United States did not expect was that Saudi Arabia and other OPEC members were determined to cooperate with the United States. They would rather Iraq eventually fall into the hands of the Shiites than to drive American power out of Iraq and cut off their control of the oil market. hand.

OPEC ultimately won this 'war' for oil market share. By mid-2016, the number of shale oil extraction machines in the United States had dropped by half!

By 2017, the United States and OPEC, led by Saudi Arabia, stopped making peace. The United States gave up the development of shale oil and re-sent troops into Iraq to control the situation in Iraq. OPEC began to reduce production to maintain oil prices and stabilize the dollar price.

It was at this time that a switchblade blast blew Wang Zhen out of Iraq.

This is the context behind a series of events in the Middle East before Wang Zhen left.

Wang Zhen only saw the situation clearly after being reminded by John afterwards, and it was not unfair.

……

"So? What should I do if the old lady didn't tell me you were leaving? Are you afraid that you would look good to them by breaking the jar?" Wang Zhen asked with a frown.

"I finally got rid of the terrorist label on my body and turned myself into a politician. Can I go back and pick it up again?" Khatib Hafez said with a wry smile.

Yes, a good horse never turns back.

"They also found a place for me. Guess where it is?" Khatib Hafiz asked with a smile.

"You're a terrorist. If you can show your abilities and trouble yourself to call you, that must be Africa where terrorists are most active, North Africa!" Wang Zhen thought for a moment, "Libya?" "No, think again. ."

"Nigeria?"

"Haha, no, think again."

"I'm just playing a guessing game with you here. If you don't tell me, I'll die!" Wang Zhen suddenly became angry.

"Beisu, haha, Darfur region."

Wang Zhen suddenly realized how he had forgotten this place.

Before the partition, Sudan was the largest country in Africa, but the country was also full of hidden dangers and was always shrouded in the cloud of war.

There are two major issues, one is South Sudan and the other is Darfur.

South Sudan has successfully gained independence for many years, but the Darfur region is still in war. Of course, there are fewer wars now.

The Darfur region is also seeking independence, but it is roughly divided into two forces, white Islam and black Islam.

Everyone in Darfur believes in Islam, but black and white people are also competing with each other for resources.

In 2003, the Black Arabs formed armed forces such as the Sudan People's Liberation Army (also known as the People's Liberation Movement), the Justice and Justice Movement, and the Movement for Reform and Development on the grounds that the Sudanese government failed to protect them from attacks by the Janjaweed cavalry. organized, launched vigorous anti-government activities, and demanded autonomy in the region.

The white Arabs and the white people from Libya and Egypt formed the Janjaweed Cavalry, with the core being the Abala and Bagarra people. Their opponents were the local resistance forces, namely the Sudan People's Liberation Army and the Justice and Equality Movement. organize.

Of course, this dispute between black and white is not as orthodox as in Europe and the United States. The so-called white Arabs are just mixed-race black people, but their skin is whiter.

Apparently the conflict between hybrids and purebreds goes deeper...

After this, Sudanese President Bashir won over the Janjaweed, and its leader Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo became the Vice President of North Sudan.

With the support of Bashir, the Janjaweed Cavalry was renamed the Rapid Support Force and grew rapidly. It now has about 10 troops. It not only de facto rules the Darfur region, but also participates in the wars in Yemen and Syria.

"The United States asked you to join the rapid support force?" Wang Zhen asked with a frown: "I remember that the relationship between the United States and the Northern Soviet Union was very bad."

"What does this have to do with it? The North Soviet Union has a good relationship with Saudi Arabia. The rapid reaction troops are all employed by Saudi Arabia and fight against the Houthi armed forces in Yemen. In addition, the rapid reaction troops have a tradition of being outsiders and have similar skin colors."

"So, the United States wants to cause trouble against the Northern Soviet Union?"

"I guess so. I think the United States is using my reputation to dilute Dagalo's influence, causing internal divisions in the Rapid Support Forces so that it can be more easily controlled and take the opportunity to intervene in the political situation of North Soviet Union."

"That must be the case." Wang Zhen responded, but his mind was spinning rapidly. He couldn't control what Lao Mei wanted to do.

Don't talk about him, even if China and Russia come, it won't work. The arrow is on the string and has already been shot when it is seen.

What Wang Zhen is thinking now is whether he can get some benefits from this process!

As for whether he will confront Khatib Hafiz, Wang Zhen doesn't care. Wouldn't it be better to confront him? There is an insider of mine among the enemy forces... Anyway, Wang Zhen doesn't care!

"Then what do you want from me?" Wang Zhen asked one after another.

"You are smart, help me analyze, what should I do? I don't want to be the lackey of the Americans!" Khatib Hafiz whispered.

"This..." Wang Zhen was stunned. No, is our relationship really so good?

You want me to give you some advice!

"Haha, please be more careful, so you're not afraid that I will send you away?" Wang Zhen was puzzled.

"You were driven out of Iraq by the Americans. They killed Faisal. I don't believe you have no idea in your heart." Khatib Hafiz's tone was full of affirmation.

"Damn, so what!" Wang Zhen was irritated.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and besides, we are friends ourselves!"

"What the hell..." Wang Zhen cursed, but his mind was still spinning, thinking as he said: "No matter what your plan is, the first thing is to improve your own strength. You left Iraq without taking your confidants with you. ?"

"Bring it!"

"By the way, you should be careful. There are people from the CIA among your subordinates."

Khatib Hafiz: “…”

Wang Zhen: "..."

With a slight cough, Wang Zhen continued: "No matter where you go, there are always foreign monks who like to chant sutras. You are an old terrorist who was killed from the terrorist lair. You have rich experience and a high status. Then seize the opportunity and start from The Americans want money, and then they preach and spread your ideas. Take control of the power that has always been yours in the rapid support force as soon as possible." (End of Chapter)
