"At least [-] million US dollars." Zhang Feng said.

Five hundred million!In other words, during this period of time, they have to have assets of one billion US dollars, excluding the turnover of funds, in order to get the money together.

"Your Excellency Qusay, what do you want so much money for?" Sarah asked, although she knew she shouldn't ask these questions, she was still rather curious.

"I want to personally make an investment. If the operation is done well, then we will have more income at once. The [-] million US dollars will at least double." Zhang Feng said.

The [-] million US dollars is only a part of the amount. If you want to fight against the Hong Kong government and the British government in the background, you can't fight this battle without strong economic strength.

And the [-] million US dollars is also giving Waleed greater motivation to invest in activities that make money for himself.

Waleed is also very curious, but he knows that there are some things that cannot be asked. If any military secrets are involved, it will be bad.

"Okay, we will definitely meet the targets," Walid said.

"I believe in the abilities of the two of you," Zhang Feng said. "Bless God, our business will definitely grow bigger and bigger, and become a big company with influence in the whole world."

Chapter 3: Instigation of Rebellion

In the mountains of Kurdistan in West Asia, for 2000 years, there has been an ancient nomadic people: the Kurds!

This nation is the descendant of the ancient Medes, and they have multiplied here several times, forming a population that is second only to the Arab, Turkic and Persian nations in the Middle East, the fourth largest nation!

They are distributed in many countries, including Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Azerbaijan, and Armenia. Among them, the Kurds in Turkey account for 40.00% of the total population of this ethnic group, which is the main gathering place of Kurds, while Iraq The Kurds in the territory accounted for more than 20.00%. This is a huge ethnic group with a population base of 3000 million.

However, the Kurds living in these countries are very dissatisfied with their situation.The Kurds in Turkey are given special cold treatment by the zhèngfǔ, who try to deprive the Kurds of their identity and call them Mountain Turks!The most depressing thing is Iran. The Kurds in Iran deeply feel the strong assimilation pressure of zhèngfǔ. Theocratic rule of zhèngfǔ has caused great harm to the Kurds, because most of the Kurds are Sunni.They endure religious persecution by Shia Muslims in Iran.Only Iraqi Kurds experience less cultural repression.However, the Kurds were not satisfied, they wanted to build a Kurdish country of their own like Israel did!Historically, during the late Arab Empire, the Kurds established several feudal dynasties, which were subsequently invaded by various other countries.

In Iraq, the Kurds mainly live in the northern region, including the provinces of Dohuk, Sulaymaniyah and Erbil, as well as the provinces of Kirkuk, Mosul and Diyala, covering an area of ​​about 350 square kilometers. The population is about [-] million.The terrain here is dangerous, the oil output accounts for more than half of the country in Iraq, and the agricultural and animal husbandry products are abundant, so it is called "granary".The Kurds used to live mainly on agriculture and animal husbandry, but with the rise of the oil industry, some Kurds have become oil workers.

In comparison, the treatment of the Kurds in Iraq should be considered the best, but their desire to establish their own country is getting stronger and stronger, especially when they receive external funding.

The sky was getting brighter, and on a mountain in Erbil Province, several cars were circling on the rugged mountain road. After a night of traveling in the dark, they had passed through the hidden road in the mountain, crossed the border, and came here.

Sitting in the car were several bearded Persians.

The back of the car is full of weapons and ammunition. They have a special order to support the Kurds in fighting for their own power!

Although with the development of Iraqi society, the Kurds are becoming more and more modernized, but there are also many Kurds living in the mountains like this, who have not yet broken away from the tribal establishment.

What they are going to this time is a Kurdish tribe in the mountains, encouraging them to fight for the establishment of their own country!

Sheikh means chief, the leader of the Kurdish tribe.

The Sheikh of this tribe, Basset, stood in front of the village, waiting for the arrival of these men.

Seeing those cars, the waiting crowd immediately began to cheer.

"Friends from afar, you are finally here." said Bassett, who was over sixty years old.

"Yeah, although the road is difficult, we're still here, but it's a bit late." Hashit said after getting out of the car.

"Let's talk in the village!" Bassett brought the man into the village.

Sitting in Bassett's decades-old house, Hashit said: "Dear Sheikh, we are here to support our friends with sincerity. This time we have brought hundreds of rifles and Nearly [-] rounds of ammunition are enough for every young man in the tribe to equip them."

Hundreds of rifles?Bassett was delighted: "Yes, with these weapons, we have greater hope!"

"No! Father, we cannot cooperate with these people!" At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside.

When Bassett heard the voice, he was very upset. His son always expressed his opposition to these things!

Xida came in and said: "Father, our life is already very good now. Many of our fellow tribes outside have already lived the same life as other Iraqis. We should let more people in the tribe go. Go out and see the outside world!"

Shida has been working in the oil field outside, and like other Iraqis, she has a good salary and has integrated into the outside world. This time, when she returned to the village to visit her relatives, she found such a thing.

"Silda, don't talk nonsense! Have you forgotten how I taught you? We once had a powerful Kurdish country! Every one of us Kurds must not forget!"

The old man was a little old, and when he said these words, he was a little out of breath with excitement.

"No! Father," Xida said, "Those things have passed. Now, we live very well in this land. Why do we have to use force? We can't beat the Arabs!"

Xida glanced at the person coming and said, "You Persians are here to take advantage of us Kurds! You should all be damned!"

Hashit became nervous, and he couldn't help touching the pistol below. However, this man was the son of the tribal leader in front of him. If he killed him, the mission would fail.

"Shida! What are you talking about? Don't you know you're a Kurd?" Bassett said.

"Father, you haven't seen the outside world, and you don't know the power of this country! Even the Iranians have been beaten back, and we can get dúlì only with those rifles? It can only make our young men better So much blood!"

When Xida was working in the oil field, he had already heard about the progress of the Iran-Iraq War. He knew that Iran could no longer hold back. Iraq’s military power is very strong. Tanks, planes, artillery, and Kurds who have been hastily armed. Is the opponent of the Iraqi army!

Moreover, this is obviously a conspiracy by the Iranians. The Iranians can't stop them, so they want the Kurds to cause turmoil and divert Saddam's attention. This is obviously a use!

"The Iranians failed one after another on the front line of defense, so they came to support us and wanted us to be cannon fodder to divert Saddam's attention. Dear brother, is that the case?" Shida asked.

"Of course not, don't you know?" Hashit said: "The Kurdish brothers have already taken action. In Turkey, 200 million Kurdish compatriots have already taken action. They have established the Kurdistan Workers Party. Jalan is leading a strong army, preparing to establish the Kurds' own country! It is here that the great Kurdish compatriots have also established the Kurdish mínzhǔ party and have an armed force. We have a great international spirit , provide you with weapons and ammunition, and support your just actions, how can this be called letting you be cannon fodder!"

He spoke eloquently and contagiously, and Bassett was completely moved.

In every old Kurdish heart, they hope to establish a Kurdish country of their own. Among the new youths, those who stay in the village are naturally educated in this way, but those who go out, their thinking will change.

Bassett was very depressed and let Xida go out. How nice it is to stay in the village!

"Father, if we really revolt, then we will definitely suffer greater losses! We can't do this!" Xida said.

Bassett looked at Xida, why doesn't this son look like a Kurd at all!Why is there no bloodiness at all!He has been enslaved by the Iraqis!

"Come on, lock up Xida!" Bassett said.

Although Xida is his son, but now that his son is so contradictory to him, he has to show him some seriousness first. Besides, this matter is so top-secret, and with his son's character, if he ran out and leaked the news, then trouble.

Hashit was relieved, this tribe, they have taken care of it.

This time, Iran sent a total of hundreds of teams like them to infiltrate the Kurdish-inhabited areas in the north. Their purpose is only one, to provide weapons to the Kurds so that they can fight for the establishment of their own country!

The armed forces of the Kurdish mínzhǔ party are naturally the object of their utmost support, and small tribes like the present one are also trying their luck. As long as they can persuade them and issue them weapons, then it is considered an armed riot for the Kurds There is more strength.

Khomeini racked his brains and came up with such a plan.

If you can't fight the frontal battlefield, then think of another way!The Kurds in Iraq account for one-fifth of their total population, and they are all in the mountains. If they become turbulent, then Iraq will definitely not have the power to attack Iran. Iran will have a chance to breathe before it can continue to attack !

In many tribes, the squads received a warm welcome. Their friendly support made the Kurdish tribe very grateful. However, there were also times when they encountered troubles, such as today. However, the task was finally completed.

"Respected Sheikh, we look forward to your fulfilling your ideals and establishing the Kurds' own country," Hashit said.

Xida was very angry. His father was blinded by the benefits in front of him. He was making a gamble on the life of the entire tribe!

Moreover, Xida is also very clear that his tribe has no possibility of success at all.
