Eh? Do you also want to try the iron fist of the humanoid girl?

Both sides believe in the same sect, but Iran is Shia and most Iraqis are Sunni.

There are rich oil and natural gas reserves on the border between the two sides, so naturally there are disputes over the lead.

The last time Iraq launched a "special" military operation against Iran was in an attempt to seize underground oil resources.

Oh, in addition to oil, Iraq attacked Iran in order to seek better access to the sea.

Although the quest for resources is rarely mentioned as a major narrative in mainstream narratives about the Iran-Iraq War, even when it is mentioned it is often not the main cause;

However, based on the current declassified information, this may be the main reason.

There's no point in dwelling on the past, so why not just let them shoot each other.

At this stage, the bloodier and more intense the fighting is, the more beneficial it is.

If the whole world were to become quiet, that would be truly terrifying.

Just like the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War, there is madness amidst restraint. It seems that both sides have maintained peace, but that peace can be broken at any time.

“…Thank you, Richard.

That's all we've got so far.

Several members of the Army's elite 1st Special Operations Group, better known as Delta Force, were killed in a battle with coup forces in the Yemeni capital of Saraya.

DOD confirmed the following dead: Master Sgt. Robert Johnson, Master Sgt. 2 Steven Porter, Master Sgt. Richard Williams…

Once there is further news, we will report it in a timely manner.”

"Fighting with the coup forces? Why are we fighting?"

The news confused Raphael, she couldn't even understand it.

"The team was tasked with escorting all members of the CIA station to the airport, and their mission was completed."

Asuka found the radio communication records at that time. After the team sent the CIA personnel to the location, they took the initiative to return to the city to try to rescue the trapped people in the embassy.

But unfortunately, the coup forces had already set their sights on them.

If the team had just followed the CIA people and left on the transport plane, the team would not have ended up being completely wiped out.

"Good job!" was all Raphael could say.

Late that night, she heard the rapid roar of vehicles outside the house, the sonorous rhythm of voices, and the use of honorifics, and she knew that these were people sent by the military.

But this is to find Harry.

She woke up when she heard the sound, sat up, and swayed a bit sleepily.

His hand automatically reached under the pillow and pulled out a P226 pistol.

Then Raphael came into the corridor with a pistol, yawning and saying to Harry who was getting dressed below:

"What's going on, so late?"

"There's something going on at the headquarters."

Harry quickly changed into his uniform, adjusting his hat with both hands.

"I'm leaving now. Call me if you need anything."

He raised his hand to his ear and made a phone call gesture, and before leaving, he said:

"No matter who comes to you, if they don't receive my message, just ignore them!"

"What if force is involved?"

"Then fight back!" Harry pointed in the direction of the armory at home, "Don't be soft-hearted when you strike. No matter what, no one will say anything."

"I understand." Raphael nodded in agreement.

"General, it's time for us to set off." Someone said outside.

Harry put on his hat, took a deep breath, and his eyes changed from peaceful to murderous. He said in a deep voice:

"Let's go, it's definitely going to be busy."

"That was yours just now...?"

"child."

"My child, that's great."

"How's your family doing?" Harry asked.

"Rebellious. No matter what his mother says, he turns a deaf ear to it."

“They are all difficult.”

"Yes," the secretary sitting in the co-pilot seat was silent for a while, then changed the subject and said, "Are you aware of Iran's actions at the border?"

"I can't take care of that. Our army's main focus right now is Latin America. Let them make whatever trouble they want in the Middle East. The bigger the better."

"Will it not harm the interests of the Federation?"

"Yes, but it's not important anymore."

"And you said that the bigger the commotion, the better, because..."

Harry glanced at the rapidly receding street outside the car window and patiently explained, "This is cooling down."

The adjutant thought for a moment and said uncertainly:

"When both sides are too exhausted to fight again, even if a world war breaks out, they won't be able to participate in it. Is that what you mean?"

"Yes."

Like his colleagues, he was pleased with the developments in Iran and Iraq, but they were unhappy with the actions of traditional Europe.

Because the war progressed quite smoothly, it did not achieve the goal of trapping both sides in a war of attrition.

On this point, Harry's views were surprisingly consistent with Raphael's.

He never asked Raphael about his opinion on the current situation, because the general trend was very clear in a certain period of time.

East Asia and Russia's announcement of withdrawal from the UN means the collapse of the post-war order.

Russia has published its first five-year plan without reservation, with the following goals:

"To deal with complex future situations in order to restore the military capabilities and sphere of influence of the old Soviet Union."

In simple terms, Russia intends to reorganize its military forces and then use its fists to secure its territory.

East Asia followed closely behind, quietly recalling veterans under the age of 30 and technicians under the age of 40.

Although they said in a diplomatic press note that they made this change in response to the large number of ELID infected people that appeared after the "Shinobuyama explosion".

But the general view from the outside world is that we are preparing for the next war that may come at any time.

Coincidentally, France also began large-scale military registration during this period, expanding its reserve personnel and taking inventory of various stockpiles.

The navy, which was originally only maintaining a limited size, suddenly received sufficient funds, a new shipbuilding plan was approved, the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier received a new high-power reactor modification plan and the keel of the second ship of the same model was laid.

The Leclerc tank production line, which had been operating inefficiently, entered full production mode and accelerated production.

Various military factories fully opened their production lines to produce additional ammunition and supplies for storage while meeting the military needs in North Africa.

The same thing happened in Germany, which formed 20 modern mechanized infantry divisions and 4 armored divisions in one go, and then checked its inventory and improved its military production efficiency.

The real loser is Britain. Since the end of the colonial era, its economic vitality has been unable to support it to have military strength that matches its historical status.

The British Army's Challenger main battle tanks were all retired in 33, and the Vickers tank production line at the Royal Arsenal was dismantled in 18 years.

Even if the British army wanted to re-arm, it had no choice but to purchase it from abroad.

There are only so many NATO countries that can produce main battle tanks compatible with NATO systems, and South Korea has disappeared in the collapsing liquid radiation cumulonimbus of the 30-year disaster.

There is news that there are two million people living in the northern mountains of the Korean Peninsula, but that was information from six or seven years ago.

In the mountains in the northern part of the peninsula, if the earlier intelligence about North Korea is correct, some lucky people live in the bunkers dug by the North Koreans to deal with war.

That should be the largest underground fortification in the world, which was madly hollowed out in the mountain in an attempt to resist bombing attacks.

Regardless of whether or not anyone actually survived there, to the outside world it was a forbidden place for organic life.

Leclerc is a French product and gentlemen from the British Isles would never purchase it.

The German Leopard 2A6/7 tank production lines have long been running at full speed, and are currently being supplied to the German army first, and then the needs of other original customers will be met.

Even if the UK wants to purchase or introduce production lines, it will have to wait until the needs of other customers are met.

After looking around, it seems that only the American M1 series can carry the banner.

However, the U.S. military is unlikely to sell the technology for the current version.

What you get in the end may be old and broken stuff similar to what was imported from Poland, with no protective equipment and no electronic technology.

After looking around like this, it would be better to restart the production line of the Challenger 2 series tanks.

At this point, Dai Ying calculated the assets in his hands, and finally could only sigh: "Dai Ying has his own national conditions here."

Building a Land Cruiser is not as important as building a Yuanzi. Perhaps this is the mentality of those cabinet ministers, who are just trying to show off.

Even Poland, where nearly half of its land has been contaminated by collapse fluid, is gritting its teeth and expanding its military.

Chapter 140 War preparations

The sky gradually brightened.

Only in the cold morning, a hideous corner appeared in a thin layer of mist.

Abu Abbas, holding his hat, shuttled back and forth beside the cold steel behemoth, shouting constantly, directing the crew and soldiers transporting logistical supplies to refill the chariot with ammunition.

As he walked, he thought that tomorrow would be the first performance after the program had been arranged for many days.

The weather is so damn bad that it hasn’t even gotten light yet. I hope tomorrow will be a bit better.

But to be honest, he was trembling with excitement now.

Abu Abbas had several thoughts intertwined in his mind. He was thinking about how the battle would be today, and then he thought about the woman he had seen off with the car door closed the day before yesterday.

No matter what, now I am left alone with the daily life I am used to: war.

That night, Aibu was still restless and thinking about how to break up, but it seemed like everything was normal. She was silent for a while, then said, "Okay, I'm leaving."

Neither of them said anything stupid or superfluous to the other, but at night he said a lot of superfluous nonsense to her, which even he found strange.

Aibu thought that it was impossible for him to treat women so gently, nor would he have any desire to pursue them.

He was talking and she was listening. Then she said, "You are so gentle."

At first, when they first met, they said, "I didn't expect you to be so rude," but before they parted, they said, "I didn't expect you to be so gentle."

There was nothing strange about it. Aibu had been rolling around in the mud, fighting hostile forces, terrorist armed forces, and regular troops from outside for years, and had long forgotten how he should treat women: rudely, gently, or something else.

He raised his hand to check the time. It was still some time before dawn.

Abu just kept smiling as he walked into the sand-colored tent of his camp, and saw his deputy Harun bin Arafat sitting at the table drinking tea, so he sat down opposite him without even noticing that he was smiling.

Harun tilted the teapot, poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Abu without saying a word.

Young and cautious as he was, Harun had never blamed Abu, either last week when it all started or today when it was over.

Ever since they had come together to fight, Harun had always seen Abu as the man who responded to requests and always tried to do more than anyone else.

Now such a person suddenly has good luck in love and happiness falls from the sky. What can others blame him for?

Not at all, Harlan thought.

As a bachelor, he was even a little jealous - that's another story!

Harun had done everything he needed to do to get the battalion commander alone with the woman, and now that she was gone, Harun felt that he had the right to hear Abu's confession on that matter.

"How are you doing?" Harun asked after Aibu finished his half cup of tea.

"Very good, it couldn't be better. Thank you, Harun." Aibu raised his eyes and looked at Harun.

Although his eyes were gentle, even amused, there was something else in them that prevented Harlan from pressing for details.

Was it because he felt lost, or because he felt that war was about to break out, and that Abu had no chance of returning to see her alive?

Harun felt that it should be both. The damn war would destroy all the good things.

"Pour me a cup of tea."

"Then there is no other problem." Harlan filled a cup of tea for him. "Drink it. While you were away, the regiment commander called and asked the battalion commanders to gather with him for a meeting at 7 o'clock sharp."
