Chapter 488 The Baath Party elects a new vice-chairman
"Commander, Commander. """ Ali heard the call of several people in his ears, and his voice was very clear, but he just felt his eyelids numb and he couldn't open his eyes.
After swimming back to the shore, Ali looked at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, but felt extremely depressed. He closed his eyes without realizing it, and as a result, he fell asleep like this...
After soaking in the sea water for a night, swimming to the shore with strong perseverance, she was wet and had a very poor mental state. As a result, Ali had a high fever.
The ship set off last night and did not return all night. After two cargo ships hit mines during the day, they finally discovered that mines had been laid on their coastline, and the naval commander of the Revolutionary Guard who set off last night might have returned to the sea.
When Ali on the coast was discovered, it was already the next day. Ali had a fever all day long. If he was late, he might not die and would have become a fool.
Ali's fever subsided, and another day passed. When he woke up, he received the order from above, and the Chairman of the Operations Committee, Rafsanjani wanted to see him!
He immediately struggled and came to Tehran.
Unexpectedly, when he met Rafsanjani, the great spiritual leader was also in Tehran, and his complexion was very bad.
"Ali, how are our operations in the Strait of Hormuz?" asked Rafsanjani.
It seemed as if it was a student who had submitted a blank paper in the exam. Looking at the supreme leader next to him, Ali didn't know what to say.
"Our mine-burning operation, at the beginning, achieved some results and successfully controlled the cargo ship, but then other countries dispatched mine-sweeping forces to open up safe waterways."
"We can continue to lay out mines," said Rafsanjani.
"Our coastline was laid with mines, and our ships were no longer able to leave the port, and minesweeping operations are currently underway..." Ali's voice became increasingly small.
He wanted to continue to explain, and the spiritual leader waved his hand as if he drove away the flies, so he had to stop talking.
"Sweep away the mines arranged by the other party as soon as possible and re-block the strait." Rafsanjani said.
Ali went out, but he didn't see a scene that surprised him.
"Great leader. Our current situation is very unoptimistic." Rafsanjani said: "Originally, we hoped to crack down on the other side's economy by blocking the strait, but now..."
"Report." At this time, a voice came from outside.
"Come in."
A staff officer walked in: "An emergency came from the front, Iraqi troops. There were signs of large-scale mobilization, and they were likely to organize a new offensive in the north."
The Iraqis are about to start attacking again? In order to stop the attack from the northern Iraqis, the newly formed infantry divisions were all sent over. Can't they resist them?
Khomeini suddenly felt a heat in his throat. He skillfully took out a piece of cloth and placed it beside his mouth, spitting the heat on the cloth as if nothing had happened. Then, he folded it and put it back into his clothes.
He knew very well that it was red.
Rafsanjani swept his eyes and noticed the bright redness on the leader's mouth. He couldn't help but say: "Great leader, you..."
"It's okay. We have to discuss carefully how to deal with the Iraqis' northern offensive." Khomeini said: "Maybe it's time for us to send our garrison troops in Tehran to the front line."
………
Baghdad.
As the war progressed gradually, the next combat plan began to gradually gather. However, the Ministry of Defense did not form a unified opinion.
If it were two months ago, then there would be no doubt that the offensive in the north would be launched and occupied northern Iran with developed agricultural areas. In this way, Iraq could achieve self-sufficiency in food without worrying about possible problems in food imports. Moreover, if you continue to attack the north, the ultimate goal is to take over the capital of the Iranians, Tehran!
However, now the struggle at sea has begun to become fierce, which has caused some people to start to waver. Perhaps it is also very valuable to continue to launch an offensive in the south, occupy the long coastline in the south, and prevent the Iranian navy from coming out to make trouble again.
Because until now, the Iranians have only mined in the Strait of Hormuz, and this operation has been shattered by themselves, and sea shipping has begun to return to normal. However, if the Iranians are smarter and place mines on the routes within the Persian Gulf, then the Arab countries along the coast will have no way.
It's okay to use the Super Hornet helicopter to monitor the Strait of Hormuz. If you monitor the entire Persian Gulf, there will be twenty of them all dispatched, which is not enough to use.
Therefore, occupying those coastlines is of great significance. Moreover, after the occupation of Khuzestan Province, the remaining oil production areas of the Iranians were mainly concentrated on the offshore oil drilling platforms along the coast. If the coastline was occupied, those drilling platforms would definitely be occupied together, which would be a revenue.
Therefore, disputes have always existed, and this also involves a very important aspect: the competition for interests between the Southern Military Region and the Northern Military Region.
Originally, in the Saddam era, the Northern Military Region was the most important military region that was beyond reproach. All new weapons and equipment were given priority to the troops of the Northern Military Region, and the most elite Republican Guards were all stationed in the north. However, now, the situation has changed a lot. With the arrival of the era of the rule of Lord Kusai, Lord Kusai came out of the Southern Military Region. Therefore, he took great care of the Southern Military Region. The -72 tanks and F-20 fighters on the production line were given priority to the troops of the Southern Military Region. As Lord Kusai attached importance to the navy, the navy was also stationed in the south, and the proportion of the north was getting lower and lower. This made veterans from the north feel somewhat unbalanced. They were looking forward to making more military achievements and having more say in the future distribution of interests.
After several meetings, Mr. Kusai did not make a final decision. Many people are speculating that Mr. Kusai has not said anything now, but I am afraid he has a better idea, because Mr. Kusai is the God of War in Iraq!
Only Kusai himself knows that this time, it is probably really a big problem.
On the issue of which direction to attack first, Kusai knew that he must be cautious. As the front line was lengthened, Iraq did not have enough transportation capacity and supported two wide attack surfaces at the same time. Moreover, Iraq's logistics supply became increasingly difficult as the front line was lengthened. When entering the mountainous areas, it needed a truck with flexible mobility and strong off-road capabilities to provide accompanying maintenance for the troops. Iraq's existing Soviet-style logistics vehicles were difficult to meet the requirements.
It is still unrealistic to want to have a large number of transport aircraft like the later US military, but it is still possible to have a large number of off-road trucks.
Iraq is the largest number of off-road trucks to introduce. However, it is best to be produced in Iraq. Iraq can even produce aircraft now, and there is absolutely no problem with cars. However, it depends on whether this kind of production technology can be introduced.
"His Excellency Kusai, in a few days, our Baath Party will hold a national joint meeting." At the end of a meeting, when everyone was exposed, Taha Yasin Ramadan and Kusai said.
Holding a national joint meeting? Kusai looked at the No. 2 figure of the Baath Party in confusion, wondering what the other party wanted to express.
“What is the topic of the meeting?”
"The recent policy enforcement strategy of our party, as well as the election of a new vice chairman of the party, will be chaired by Chairman Saddam." Taha said.
Vice Chairman? Kusai's eyes lit up: "Okay, I will definitely participate then."
Kusai has always held the power of Iraq, but it is a bit unfair and can only handle some affairs by manipulating his father's substitute. Dad has been unconscious all the time. Taha has keenly noticed the dangers. Although Taha is not a relative of Saddam, he is one of the people he trusts the most. Saddam is still very accurate in his view of people. Taha spared no effort to help Kusai after Saddam fell, so he promoted the meeting.
At this meeting, with Kusai's military achievements, contributions to Iraq, and his relationship with President Saddam, he could become the vice chairman of the Baath Party. In this way, Kusai will be much more convenient for him to do a lot of things.
Moreover, long-term use of stand-alone itself hides deep risks. If President Saddam is always unwavering, it is necessary for Kusai to become the new president of Iraq with the support of these people.
For Iraq, this choice is necessary.
"I've been too busy lately and haven't visited the president. Today I have time. Let's go to the Baghdad Hospital!" Kusai said with a thought.
Although subconsciously, Kusai may have ignored Saddam's father intentionally or unintentionally, and it is precisely because he has made room for himself to develop, Kusai knows that now, he must do his best.
For example, the reason why Taha helped him with all his strength was because of his loyalty to his father. His father always believed in his relatives, but he unconditionally regarded Taha as his confidant. After learning the truth about the assassination of the president, Taha began to help him with all his strength. All of this, Dad still has the charm of his father, so Kusai must set an example. Even if he becomes president, he still cares about his father very much.
When Taha heard this, he felt very touched and immediately said, "Okay."
Hassar was a little restless today. As usual, she checked all the locations and saw several cars driving inside outside...
