From arms dealer to king of war

While Qiao Jia and the others were waiting, many people arrived from the direction of the base...

The conditions on the ground where rockets had ravaged were very bad, and the saturation strikes left no one alive there.

Colonel Hardy of the Iraqi government army, who was just here on a routine basis, saw the Kurdish flags spray-painted on the doors of the scrapped vehicles. He rushed to Choga in a little panic and said: "Jackal, what is happening here? Why? So many PKK people died?”

Qiao Jia pointed to his armored vehicle and said with a smile: "I have a recorder on my vehicle. There are detailed records on it 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 anti-tank missile that appeared inexplicably and the last rocket to clear the ground. He touched his nose and said: "Someone is deliberately trying to sow discord between the coalition forces and the Kurds. They set up an ambush on the road. When they were about to encounter the Kurds, they fired a Javelin missile at them."

When Colonel Hardy heard this, he said in disbelief: "You killed them all because they had a misunderstanding with you?"

As he spoke, Hardy grabbed his hair, which was not much, with both hands, and said painfully: "Jackal, we are in trouble!"

A 'we' made Qiaojia very satisfied with the attitude of Colonel Hardy. His attitude represents the attitude of the Iraqi government forces today.

The Kurds' inactivity made the government forces represented by Hardy very dissatisfied. However, in order to ensure unity and cope with the supervision of American fathers, they must remain patient and continue to increase troops towards Mosul, which is destined to be handed over to the Kurds. .

Now nearly two hundred members of the PKK have died all at once, and it seems that the fault is not entirely theirs, which makes Hardy feel troublesome...

The target of Isis is erected there, and the nature of our coalition cannot be shaken. However, if the Kurds suffer losses, they will definitely have to recover them from other places. This matter will be very troublesome, and someone will definitely take the blame.

Hardy admired what P.B. did for Iraq. No matter how much money they made, they did provide a large number of jobs, trade, and precious and unusual stability to southern Iraq.

If P.B. is driven away because of the Kurdish problem, Hardy feels that the war in Mosul will never see an end.

Seeing that Colonel Hardy was sweating on his forehead, Qiao Jia smiled and patted him on the arm and said, “Don’t worry, if there is a problem, let them come to me.

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 have brought the malicious eyes of the Turks over.

I don't care if they were instigated or anything else, they hit my people first, and then attacked me when I was about to discuss right and wrong with them.

Hardy, although my main responsibility in Iraq is logistics, I am still a mercenary!

If they shoot at me, I will kill them, which makes sense! "

When Hardy heard this, he said in embarrassment: "Sir, you don't understand. The Baghdad government has been putting pressure on the Kurds to increase their troops to fight in Mosul."

As he spoke, Hardy moved closer to Choga and whispered: "The Iranians are dissatisfied with the situation in Iraq. They feel that we are too weak, and they are also putting pressure on our prime minister.

Now if the Kurds get caught and the trouble continues, the whole of Iraq will be dragged into a confrontation with the Turks. "

Hardy's words were unclear, but Qiao Jia understood...

There are experts in the Kurdish armed forces. They took advantage of America's father's desire to fight Isis and relied on America's father's support to drag down the entire Iraq.

They took in the beaten Labor Party and then pulled the whole of Iraq to fight against the pressure from Turkey.

People in the Iraqi government are also having a hard time. Their country has been smashed to pieces by the old United States, and they have been reduced from a big brother in the Middle East to a little brother.

I can't break away from the support of my big brother in Iran next door, but I don't dare to offend my evil neighbor in Turkey, and I don't dare to disobey my American dad's opinion.

The problem in Mosul has caused them to be dragged into the water by the Kurds again.

The Americans are not too afraid of hard-pressing Turkey, but doing so is actually supporting the independence of the Kurds.

This is like a fly mixed in the rice, next to a pile of smelly dog ​​shit. If you don't eat it, you will starve to death. Anyway, you have to choose one...

Thinking about the unfortunate situation that Hardy and the others were in, Qiao Jia nodded sympathetically and said: "I know the general situation, but you have been dragged in!

Besides, Mosul is Iraqi territory, so you should contribute. "

Upon hearing this, Hardy shook his head with an ugly expression and said: "We want to drive away Isis and restore peace to the territory, but we know better that we cannot satisfy the appetite of the Kurds.

Jackals, the Turks marching across the border, are not just people who want to fight the PKK.

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 core strategic interest.

If the pipeline falls into the hands of the Kurds, it will become their bargaining chip. No one wants to see this situation happen. "

Qiao Jia nodded suddenly after hearing this...

Oil pipelines are the bloodline of industry. If the Kurds choke Turkey's industrial bloodline, they will be passive.

No wonder Türkiye is ready to risk the world's disapproval and cross the border into Iraq to attack the Kurds.

This is not simply a blow to the Labor Party, it is a defense of their own energy interests.

The Iraqi government is very weak. When they see the hope of stability in the south, what they want is not a quick victory but to delay.

They are not trying to trick P·B, but once Mosul is quickly captured, the power and influence of the Kurds in the territory will skyrocket, and then they will be unable to account for their two evil neighbors, Iran and Turkey.

Therefore, during the battle in Mosul, the Iraqi government forces behaved very decently and would never harass civilians. They would rather retreat when encountering trouble than fight Isis to the death.

How is it possible to beat this? How is it possible to control the casualties of soldiers?

They want to delay it now, until the United States loses patience, until NATO actively intervenes, and lets American dad step in to solve the problem, so that the two evil neighbors can find no excuse to embarrass them.

Just now, Qiaojia felt that there were experts in the Kurdish team, but now he felt that he looked down upon them.

They can only see the immediate benefits, but not the subsequent problems.

At least Choga knew that the Turks had the tacit consent of the United States to bomb the Kurds.

The Kurds are not really stupid. If they want to realize their dreams, they have to gamble on their luck.

They are now putting the Iraqi government in a dilemma. They are not human beings, and they have to stand up to them. The benefits will definitely be reaped in a short period of time.

However, Qiaojia did not tolerate them. The Iraqi government was his important collaborator, and the Kurdish armed forces gave him nothing.

Qiaojia looked at Colonel Hardy who was looking embarrassed, thinking about the bombing that the Turks would soon arrive. He shook his head sympathetically and said: "Don't expect the Kurdish armed people to work hard, let's find a way 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 some progress, so that you can give an explanation to the Americans who are putting pressure on you. "

As he spoke, Qiaojia glanced at the government soldiers who were collecting the bodies of the Kurdish armed personnel. He smiled, nodded, and said: "If the Kurdish armed people make trouble, ask them to come to the Mosul base to find me.

Those who dare to beat me up after eating my food, if I don’t set some rules for them, they won’t even know their last names! "

This was the first time that Hardy had seen the boss of a foreign military organization who did not blame others when things happened. After thinking about it, he said gratefully: "Sir, thank you very much for your understanding and help!"

Qiao Jia laughed loudly after hearing this, patted the rather handsome colonel on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Since you have decided to delay, don't let the soldiers go up and die blindly.

The casualty rate in fighting for one house after another is too high. Let’s fight for public security instead.

Send people into the city to collect information and attack Isis in a targeted manner.

If possible, encourage Mosul residents to leave the city and take their time. If the war can be ended with as few deaths as possible, even if it takes longer, it will be a good result. "

When Hardy heard this, he looked at Qiao Jia with surprise and a hint of confusion, and said: "Sir, you are not from the United States..."

Qiao Jia waved his hands decisively and said: "The United States is not a monolithic entity, and Ambassador Steven and I are on the same side.

In fact, 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 U.S. government.

They can work very hard, but they are probably the group of people who least want the war to end. "

Qiao Jia's words were like a reassurance. Colonel Hardy said in surprise: "That's good, that's good. Take your time, less people will die..."

As long as we can let the international community know that we are making progress! "

As he spoke, Colonel Hardy looked at Qiao Jia and said a little embarrassedly: "Sir, we can't fall out with the Kurds for the time being. I will try my best to mediate. If I can't stand it anymore, you may still need to step forward..."

Qiao Jia nodded indifferently and said: "You don't need to be tough, just let them come to me. I just want to see how strong these people are and how stupid their brains are!"

As he spoke, Qiao Jia looked at the 'Cerberus' who were responsible for the search in the distance. They came back, but there were two cars when they went there, but there was only one car when they came back...
