The introduction of heavy trucks has been very smooth, which made Kusai very satisfied. Mercedes-Benz's ng-80 series heavy trucks have world-class quality and excellent performance. After entering Iraq, it will inevitably become a high-end heavy truck in the army. Moreover, the wheeled infantry fighting vehicles developed on this mature chassis will greatly promote the leapfrog development of Iraq's army equipment. While happy, Kusai has further urged the development of minerals in the Iran-occupied area and prepared to demarcate several mining areas and do a good job in infrastructure construction so that the copper, chromium and other metals that Iraq still needs to introduce can be produced by itself in Iraq.

Kusai is full of confidence in Iraq's future. As long as the external environment is good and a five-year plan is completed, Iraq's basic supporting industries will be fully established and emerging electronic technology will also develop vigorously. Even if Iraq no longer relies on oil, it can maintain rapid economic growth and become a wealthy country.

At the top leaders of Iraq, the first five-year plan is being brewed, but all of this has a prerequisite, that is, the external environment is good.

The Iraq war is still ongoing. The Iranian areas that have not been occupied by Iraq still do not show any allegiance to the current Tehran regime. Iraq still has a long way to go if Rajavi, the Iranian president, can rule the entire territory of Iran.

As soon as he returned to the Palace of Republic, Kusai received a report that the U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Brightmann had an emergency and hoped to see His Excellency Kusai.

Is there an emergency in the United States? Kusai knows. I'm afraid there is something really big about this time.

When I met this ambassador, Kusai first exchanged greetings and expressed his gratitude to the United States for its support on the Iran issue. However, the ambassador was obviously absent-minded. After the brief greetings, Kusai asked: "Mr. Ambassador, what news did you bring this time?"

"His Excellency Kusai, this is a photo taken by our satellite." Brightman took out a few photos and handed them to Kusai.

Professional satellite pictures. Only professionals can understand them. Brightman just took a few of the most obvious pictures and handed them over to Kusai, saying, "These pictures are the transfers of the Soviet Union and Afghanistan near the Iranian border. We analyzed that at least two armored divisions were transferred here."

Kusai looked carefully and could only judge from the black dots that it seemed like a vehicle covered with a camouflage net looking down from a condescending place.

However, when Kusey heard Brightman's narrative, he was very surprised even though he had no reaction on his face.

Kusai knew that the ambassador said what the Soviet army was mobilized. What does it mean? The border between Iran and the Soviet Union has never been a focus. The Soviet Union will not have a large-scale garrison here. Now, there is only one possibility for such a Soviet army mobilization. The Soviet Union wants to quickly invade eastern Iran!

This incident never happened in later generations. Because Iran in history did not have such a split. After the early invasion of Iraq, the war began to burn Iraq itself. The Soviet Union did not support Iraq. Iran has always supported Iraq. Iran has never been invaded by the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union did not have this opportunity.

But now, Kusai knows that due to his time travel, the Middle East and history have undergone great changes. Now, Iran has already emerged with its own central government and other forces that are still loyal to the old regime. Since Iraq is digesting the existing occupied areas and Iraq's military strength is limited, the military operations have not been launched yet. In this case, it has given the Soviet Union a chance!

Kusai knew that as the northern empire, the Soviet Union had always had the ambition to go south, otherwise they would not have sent troops to Afghanistan so boldly and finally entered the quagmire of war and could not pull it out by themselves. The collapse of the Soviet Union and the Afghan war could also be said to be a catalyst.

Now, after seeing the satellite pictures given by Brightman, Kusai can guess the Soviet Union's idea. I am afraid that they are watching Iran be about to fall into a civil war and are temporarily unable to control the eastern region. Therefore, they want to deploy powerful armored forces to occupy a southward channel before the various forces of Iran respond?

The Soviet Union had a good idea. In this way, they could all withdraw from Afghanistan.

This can also be said to be a mistake by the Iraqi intelligence department. However, Iraq's current main target will be the grain-producing area in the northwest of Iran. Therefore, Iraq has no power to take into account the east. In the war with Iraq, Iran has repeatedly drawn troops from the east, and there are very few armed forces there. The current eastern part of Iran can be said to be a vacuum zone between Iran and Iraq's armed forces.

The Soviet Union really seized the opportunity. Fortunately, the Soviet Union's arch-rivaled rival, the United States, found this slim and called the police in advance. However, the United States probably didn't have any kindness.

"His Excellency Kusai, the Soviet Union has deployed heavy troops in these places with very obvious intentions. I am afraid that they would suddenly dispatch mechanized troops to occupy eastern Iran like the last time they invaded Afghanistan." Brightman said: "We in the United States are very concerned about the safety of the current regime of Iran. We in the United States have an obligation to help Iran maintain peace and stability and resist foreign invasions."

Speaking of this, Kusai already knew that the superpower of the United States is probably also using the same idea as the Soviet Union, hoping that their power will intervene in Iran.

"How will your country help us?" Kusai asked.

"Our aircraft carrier formation is heading towards the Arabian Sea. If we receive an invitation from the Iranian government, our fighter jets can enter the eastern part of Iran for cruise. In that case, the Soviet Union will not dare to dispatch. At the same time, we can also help the Iranian government launch an air strike by those forces in the east that do not obey the central government." Brightman said.

Kusai looked at the guy in front of him and spoke arrogantly. So, wouldn’t he regard eastern Iran as the territory of the United States? Are they really so bold? Don’t they know that this may cause their direct military confrontation with the Soviet Union?

The United States is already mentally prepared. In Grenada, the US military was harshly slapped by the Soviets. Those elusive jungle special forces made the Americans suffer a lot, causing a military operation that should have ended in a few days. They withdrew from Grenada decently and supported pro-American forces, which has now become a difficult situation.

So this time, they made up their minds and let the Soviets see that they were not easy to mess with! With them, they were intimidating eastern Iran to see if the Soviets dared to invade!

In fact, for Kusa, he is not interested in the plateaus in eastern Iran. In the future, it will be left to the Iranian government for management. At most, Iraq will have to station troops in the coastal areas of southeastern Iran. However, if foreign forces covet it, Kusa will not tolerate it. No one in the United States or the Soviet Union can interfere there!

Kusai glanced at the desk calendar on the table. Today is January 10, 1984. Now the Soviet Union is in full swing. However, Kusai actually doesn’t value the Soviet Union much. As long as he comes from later generations, he knows that the once powerful existence of the Soviet Union collapsed overnight. Strategically, he must despise his opponents!

Kusai smiled faintly and said, "We are very grateful to the United States for its support and help, especially for forecasting us the news that the Soviet Union might invade. However, it is Iran and we should fully believe that Tehran's Iranian regime has the ability to protect Iran's territory from being violated by foreign forces. After all, Iran is already a sovereign and territorial integrity country and does not need us to interfere. What do you think?" Kusai smiled very brightly.

The Iranian regime in Tehran has to listen to Iraq? Otherwise, what should I do here? What sovereignty and territorial integrity? Isn’t it Iraq the one who occupies the most Iranian territory?

Brightman was a smart man. He was ready before he came and was likely to be rejected by His Excellency Kusai, which was in line with the style of this strong man. However, he was confident that His Excellency Kusai's army would definitely not withstand the Soviet attack, not to mention that their army had no ability to get there at all. The group charge of the Soviet mechanized troops and the quality of the Iranian army was the difference between heaven and earth. Once the attack began, no one could stop them! At that time, what should we do with this calm and composed Excellency Kusai! In the end, he still asked to come to the United States. In this world, except for the United States, which country could deal with the Soviet Union? At that time, the United States' offer price would be even higher.

"Yes, we should fully trust the Tehran government." Brightman said the last few words very seriously.

What Brightman didn't expect was that this time, His Excellency Kusai was very enthusiastic and kept sending him to the gate of the Palace of Republic. It seemed that Kusai didn't have much confidence in his heart, so he must rely on the United States to stand out in the future. It would be better if they hit a wall first, and the United States would appear as a savior, forcing Iraq to agree to more demands.

After seeing Brightman off, Kusai immediately held an emergency meeting with senior Iraqi officials to discuss how to deal with the crisis.

After Kusai gave everyone a look at the satellite map left by Bleman, and roughly stated the signs of Soviet invasion, all of these senior Iraqi personnel showed serious faces.

They never thought that the Soviet Union, which had always supported them, and which had always been trusted by them, would do such a thing as robbing by fire!!!
