The Persian counterattack? Saddam asked: "Kusei, how do you know that the Persian counterattack?"

Zhang Feng cleared his throat and knew that his opportunity had finally come: "Father, last year, we caught the Persians off guard, and their cleaning operation caused the army to lose its combat effectiveness, so we started to fight smoothly, but from this year, the battle situation has been in a stalemate, because Iran has recovered and their army is regrouping."

Adnan was frightened. He knew that Kusai was telling the truth, but would he upset the president by saying this? You know, the president doesn't like to hear such remarks.

Unexpectedly, Saddam was not unhappy. He looked at Kusai and said, "Stop talking."

"It is obvious that Iran has released many imprisoned political prisoners, especially the grassroots commanders of the cleansed army. My father, an army, the level of combat capability is directly determined by the level of grassroots commanders in their army. Under the leadership of Khomeini, Iran is gradually reorganizing its forces and attempting to counterattack locally."

"Then do you think it will be a breakthrough for the Iranian army?"

"Father, this time the Iranians' sneak attack from Susangild area is a very obvious signal. Their next battle will definitely start the counterattack with Abadan!" Zhang Feng said.

"It seems that my brother is really good at guessing. Now we are surrounding Abadan like an iron barrel, and the opponent will counterattack from here? Kusai, all this is your imagination, or do you know Khomeini's thoughts?" Uday said with a serious expression.

"Allah is on top," said Zhang Feng: "As a commander, analyzing various intelligences, obtaining useful information from them, and judging the enemy's movements is a must-have quality. My dear brother, you are only responsible for sports now, and of course you don't understand these things, but your father and uncle must be very clear."

"You!" A cold light appeared in Uday's eyes. This naked sneer made him unable to stand it. Uday, in Iraq, was not afraid of anyone, and naturally he was not afraid of this younger brother who threatened him.

Not understanding military affairs is a pain that Uday will never avoid. When it comes to playing with women and torture prisoners, he is the best at commanding wars. He really doesn't have the ability to do this.

Intelligence Director Barzan said: "Indeed, in fact, in war, as long as you analyze various intelligence, you can guess the enemy's motives. If the other party wants to open it from Abadan, you will definitely assemble a large-scale army in Avas in the rear, and all kinds of oil, ammunition, etc. will be transported continuously. We can detect it, and we can also obtain satellite images of AIA."

After the Iran-Iraq War began, the United States, for various purposes, would promptly transfer several satellite images through the embassy to help Iraq.

"Kusai, how did you analyze that the Iranians will start a counterattack from Abadan?" Adnan asked.

How do I know? Of course I know. The Iranians have been driving Iraqi troops out of Iran’s territory since Abadan. I know the best. Although Zhang Feng knows the trend of the war, he must not say that. He traveled through time? Who would believe these words?

"War is a continuation of politics." Zhang Feng said: "Father, I'm not a problem, right?"

Saddam looked at his son with appreciation and said such philosophical words. Resisting Khomeini's export revolution and maintaining his own rule is one important reason, but another reason is also very important.

"Yes, war without reason is the stupidest behavior of the leader. We fight wars for our Iraqi survival," Saddam said.

"Our main strategic goal is to seize control of the Arab River and occupy the sea estuary. The Arab River is our only waterway to the Gulf, and our economy is almost entirely based on exports of oil as its pillar. Only through the Persian Gulf can oil be exported continuously. Originally, the entire waterway was its territory, and the boundary river was bounded by shallow water line on the Iranian side. However, the shameful Iranians have always been occupying our territory. Therefore, we can only obtain the sea estuary we want by fighting. We take down Koramshahr and Abadan, and place the southwest corner of Huzestan Province into our territory. In this way, we have sufficient sea estuaries. If we take down the Port of Khomeini, our oil exports will no longer be restricted." Zhang Feng said.

When he was formulating the combat plan, his son did not come into contact with anything. Now, he was able to talk about all his strategic goals. Saddam felt increasingly satisfied with Kusai.

"Yes," said Lieutenant General Hazraj: "Originally, under mediation by Algeria in March 1975, we reached the Algiers Agreement with Iran. We agreed to define the 102-kilometer center line at the southern end of the Arab River as the water boundary of the two countries; Iran agreed to stop supporting the Kurdish forces in our territory and promised to allocate 300 square kilometers of land within the land boundary to us, but the transfer of Iran's territory was not fulfilled afterwards. We suffered shameful deception. So, we are just taking back what we deserve now."

"Although we have besieged Abadan for a year, we have not fought," said Zhang Feng. "For Iran, we can only complete our established combat mission with a quick battle. Now, it has become a protracted war. Iran has breathed a breath. Their goal is to rescue Abadan, take back Horamshahr, and then occupy our Fao, and completely turn us into an inland country."

"Do you think the Persians have this ability?" Saddam said, his face feeling a little unhappy.

What we need is this effect. Zhang Feng successfully stated the consequences of the matter so severely, which was naturally paving the way for the following content: "Allah is above, the shameless Persian conspiracy must not be allowed to succeed. However, the Persians have accumulated enough strength again to cross the Karen River and eliminate our army that we went to fight. We must remain vigilant and crush Khomeini's conspiracy." Zhang Feng said. "Father, I have an idea."

"Tell me, what are you going to have a good idea?" Saddam felt that his son had more and more potential to become a general.

"We have never dared to enter the city of Abadan now, in order to avoid the cruelest street fighting. When we fought Horamshahr, we paid more than 10,000 casualties. Therefore, we should avoid street fighting. It would be better to lure the Iranians out and deal with them outside the city." Zhang Feng said.
