There aren't that many artillery and other heavy firepower. There are only five to six thousand men in a division.

"Eight divisions, such a big deal, I thought you could only come up with five divisions." Li Xiao was stunned for a moment, it was always good to have more troops.

"Oh, originally we could only take out about five divisions.

But now three divisions can be withdrawn from the Middle East!"

"Middle East, you mean Iraq?" Li Xiao frowned.

The Suez Oilfield is now the lifeblood of the Ming Dynasty's army, and there is absolutely no chance of anything going wrong there. Zuo Liangyu is so courageous that he dares to mobilize the defense forces there.

If something goes wrong in Suez, it will be catastrophic, enough to wipe out the current good situation in an instant.

“It’s Iraq!

We can transfer three divisions from there to participate in this battle.

I have to say, Marshal, you are wise.

Five divisions were formed using prisoners of war, and they were given captured equipment to fight the Kurds.

Those prisoners of war fought very well and were not afraid of death for supplies, which greatly eased the pressure on the Basra oil field.

Now the country has sent an armed reclamation team of 80,000 people, even more...!" Zuo Liangyu enthusiastically flattered Li Xiao, but he did not expect that Li Xiao's face had darkened.

"An 80,000-person reclamation team was sent from the country? What's going on?" Li Xiao asked with wide eyes.

"This..., this is all arranged by the country. The first batch of 80,000 people and the second batch of 50,000 people are said to have already set off in China. It is estimated that they should arrive in Iraq in another month.

Governor Sun is preparing houses, land and women for them."

"Women?" This made Li Xiao even more confused. Why did he need to prepare women? What happened to the Ming Dynasty.

Li Xiao has always been opposed to sending people without military training to the battlefield.

This was why the situation was so dangerous in the early stages of the war, and Li Xiao still had to wait until the training of new recruits was completed before sending those recruits onto the battlefield.

Even so, the casualty ratio of new recruits is much higher than that of veterans.

Now, people without any military training are sent directly to areas where Kurdish guerrillas are rampant.

This is a fucking crime!

"We need to prepare women. These are prisoners from the Ming Dynasty who have committed crimes.

Lord Cifu personally gave instructions. These people were already committing crimes in the Ming Dynasty.

Some were murderers who took human lives, and some were simply bandits.

These people still need special jailers to guard them in the country, and now they are all exiled to Iraq.

After completing their sentence, light-duty prisoners can still return to Ming Dynasty.

Those serious criminals will have no choice but to stay in Iraq for the rest of their lives.

Two months ago, Governor Sun had already accepted 80,000 people. He had given them enough land and houses, and each of them was assigned an Arab woman to do laundry and cooking.

Now, in addition to farming every day, there is militia training. It is said that we will eventually gradually control the Tigris and Euphrates rivers!

Commander, I think this domestic policy is quite good.

Those bastards were also a scourge in the Ming Dynasty, and officials needed food to support them and feed them in prison.

Now that they are brought to Iraq, they will not only help pay taxes to our Ming Dynasty for farming, but also help fight against the local Kurds.

This method really kills two birds with one stone.

The subordinates suggested that this method should be used in the future to exile them all to places that are hostile to our Ming Dynasty.

No matter which country you marry, the child you end up with is not our Ming Dynasty."

Li Xiao didn't say anything for a long time, so this was a good idea.

Those who committed crimes in the country were exiled to the Middle East, especially the two river basins of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.

This place, which is said to flow with milk and honey, would not be a bad idea if it were farmed by prisoners of the Ming Dynasty.

And this place really needs these evil people to torture it.

The Kurds now kill the Ming people on sight. They are natural enemies. It might be a good thing to let these Ming people harm them.

Don't think that all Ming Dynasties are kind people.

This person cannot be kind or kind. As long as he is kind, he will be bullied. Evil people naturally need evil people to punish them.

However, despite this, Li Xiao still felt that it was inappropriate to deploy defense forces in Basra.

“Aren’t there five Marine Corps divisions that were recently established in the country?

All five divisions are deployed in the Basra oil field area, and no leakage is allowed in the oil field.

The three replaced divisions joined the Sevastopol landing battle.

The navy can produce two aircraft carriers and two battleships. It can also produce several arsenal ships!

The Ottoman army can field 80,000 people, and the army has two temporary divisions that will attack Crimea from south to north.

Israel's main army has been surrounded by our and Russian troops in the Kursk salient.

It had just rained and the ground was very slippery and muddy.

The Air Force will resume bombing as soon as weather conditions permit.

In this battle, we will completely occupy Crimea and destroy the state of Israel."

"promise!
Chapter completed!
