v2 Chapter 1478： plan ahead

Now that you know where the enemy comes from, you must find a country that is hostile to the enemy; after all, the enemy of the enemy is the friend.

The Republic of Yemen is located at the southwestern tip of the Arabian Peninsula, adjacent to Saudi Arabia and Oman, bordering the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea, with a coastline of 1,906 kilometers.

If you open the map of the Arabian Peninsula, you will find that there are two countries in the southernmost tip of the Arabian Peninsula that are similar in size and belong to neighboring countries: Yemen and Oman. Moreover, both Yemen and Oman have their backs to Saudi Arabia and face the Arabian Sea.

Theoretically speaking, the development of these two countries should be similar, but due to some practical reasons, the gap between Yemen and Oman is larger than the gap between North Korea and South Korea.

The first reason is that the oil storage in Yemen is poor, and the population is very large; this also makes it difficult for Yemen to develop. Due to the terrain, although it is located on the oil-rich Arabian Peninsula, the oil resources in Yemen are simply pitiful. Coupled with the fact that Yemen's domestic population is about ten times larger than Oman's, this results in a per capita distribution that lags far behind Oman even though Yemen and Oman have the same resources. Although the land area is not much different, Yemen's population is around 20 million, while Oman's population is only around 2 million. This extra 18 million people is a heavy burden for Yemen.

The second reason is that Yemen’s domestic drug abuse is serious, and it can even be said to be a full-scale drug addiction, so it is not expected that the development is not as good as that of neighboring Oman. Due to historical factors, there are many raw materials for drugs grown in Yemen, and there is naturally a large group of drug addicts. Coupled with the lack of government control, the prevalence of drugs is similar to that of rice and white noodles. Therefore, even if Yemen wants to develop its economy, it has no basic conditions and can only slowly sink.

The third reason is the constant wars in Yemen, which also makes Yemen's economy not only unable to develop, but even more and more backward. Although they all face the Arabian Sea, Yemen is next to the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea. Since ancient times, it has been a strategically important place for military strategists. Naturally, wars occur all year round. Therefore, the domestic situation in Yemen is very bad; there are not many lifelines that can support the development of the country, and then it is destroyed by the war; of course, the gap with neighboring countries is getting bigger and bigger.

Therefore, the Omanis are very uncomfortable with Yemen. Although they belong to the Arab ethnic group, they instinctively exclude Yemen from the system. In history, the two countries have often fought wars. In fact, Yemen not only does not deal with the Omanis, but also has not achieved reunification even now.

But this is a good thing for Bao Zixuan. Because only in this way, the Black Cloud Group will have a chance. Let the Yemenis put pressure on Oman, and the plan to besiege Fucaira will inevitably fail.

The reason why I think Yemen will definitely go according to its own plan is because of the relationship with the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union really invested a lot in Yemen. Many military instructors are Soviets. So as long as you contact the KGB and want to do anything in Yemen, it's easy.

Bao Zixuan said to Zhang Zhan: "You can contact the KGB Middle East head and ask them to provide us with information. Then, through them, get in touch with South Yemen. The relationship between Oman and Yemen is not so harmonious."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhan immediately understood what it meant. However, there are still some concerns in my heart. After all, South Yemen and Oman have a "Relationship Normalization Agreement" that exists, and it has just been signed not long ago; in addition, there are many Arab countries mediating it. It is not so easy to turn faces between the two countries.

On October 27, 1982, South Yemen and Oman signed an agreement in Kuwait to normalize relations between the two countries. The main contents are: the two countries stop attacking each other; establish normal relations on the basis of mutual respect for sovereignty, non-interference in each other's internal affairs and good-neighborly cooperation; stop border hostile activities; do not allow foreign troops to use their respective territories to aggression and provocation against the other country ; Both sides agree to recognize each other and establish diplomatic relations.

Although the agreement is simple, it also shows in disguise that it is impossible for the two countries to break up in the short term. After all, it does not benefit everyone.

Bao Zixuan saw Zhang Zhan's concern, so he said with a smile: "This time South Yemen doesn't have to do anything, just don't interfere with us."

"I heard that the Popular Front for the Liberation of Oman currently has a stronghold in South Yemen. However, they lack medical care, and their weapons are not strong enough to fight the Omani army. But I paid the Soviet Union to provide them with arms; you said that Oman still Do you have the energy to attack and review Ira?

Relations between South Yemen and Oman have been tense for a long time; the main reason is that South Yemen has always supported the Popular Front for the Liberation of Oman. After several crackdowns, the group has little influence in the country, but still maintains bases and radio stations in South Yemen.

Hearing what the boss said, Zhang Zhan was very impressed. Although he is not in the Middle East, he knows the affairs of the Middle East well. This is strength, and I may never learn it in my life.

Later, he reported on the construction of Fucaira. These Bao Zixuan have seen it through the report, so he is not very concerned about it. And when I came here yesterday, I also looked at it along the way; it was basically the same as expected. The main reason is that we did not let go of our hands and feet, there are too many unstable factors, and we dare not build too fast.

But compared to other places in the Middle East, it is a miracle. At least three links and one leveling, and road construction has begun to take shape.

At present, the Black Cloud Group can contact the KGB headquarters in Moscow, so when the head of the KGB in the Middle East knew that Zhang Zhan, the head of the Black Cloud Group in Fucaira wanted to see him, he did not dare to neglect him in the slightest.

After seeing the person coming, Zhang Zhan couldn't believe his eyes. After all, this person in front of him is really too ordinary. And with a pair of eyes, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like an elite agent. However, he also knew that the more high-level secret agents were, the more unremarkable they were; their appearance was too good, and it was easy to attract the attention of the enemy. It is estimated that if there is no action, it may be served with a pot.

The visitor smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Zhang Zhan! You can call me Lao K. I have received an order from the Moscow headquarters; I will fully cooperate with you."

Even if the agent reported a name, it is estimated that it is a pseudonym. It is also good to use a code name, at least the two sides will not cause misunderstanding.

Lao K also felt very strange when he came to see Zhang Zhan, knowing that the Black Cloud Group is capable and has face. But I didn't expect it to be this far. The Moscow headquarters of the KGB directly issued an order, saying that as long as the interests of the Soviet Union were not harmed, they would fully cooperate with any actions of the Black Cloud Group.

You know, as a regional head, his status in the KGB is not low. In case of exposure, or defecting, it will bring great losses to the organization. However, the KGB headquarters would rather take this risk and let it negotiate in person, which shows the relationship between the Black Cloud Group and the Soviet Union.

As for serving the Black Cloud Group, Lao K does not reject it at all. Bao Zixuan is famous for his generosity, as long as he does things well and does it beautifully to make money, it will definitely not be a problem. But there are many, many problems. Zhang Zhan didn't expect the boss to be so proud, and the person in charge of the KGB region came directly. Since it is equipped with such a good helper; if the task is not completed, then there is no face in serving the Heiyun Group's bowl of rice.

Zhang Zhan: "Old Mr. K, hello! This time I asked you to come here, mainly because there are several things that need the help of the KGB. After all, the Black Cloud Group has not been established for a long time, and you are also aware of the situation in Fucaira. Therefore, the intelligence in the Middle East Internet, it can be said that there is almost none.”

"First of all, I want to ask you something about why Oman has recently sent more troops to the Fucaira border. After all, this is about our safety. I hope you can tell the truth."

Sure enough, it was for this matter, but it's normal to think about it; Fucaira is Bao Zixuan's territory, and the whole Middle East knows about his relationship with the female chief.

Now to see Oman stationing troops on the border, combined with the poor land area of ​​Fuca Ilan, of course it will be nervous.

Lao K said very seriously: "If Prince Derecht of Sharjah finds the King of Oman, through a series of exchange of interests, the other party agrees to send troops to Fucaira at a critical moment."

"The main one is the disputed part of the land, which is all owned by Oman. At the same time, the first oil field in Sharjah is also handed over to Oman for development. Of course, there are other aspects to pay, mainly for men and women; the royal family in the Middle East is more complicated, and we in the Soviet Union People really don't understand what's going on."

"As for why they didn't do it before, that's an under-named and unreasonable word. The whole Middle East knows that Mr. Bao Zixuan has arrived in Qatar, so you don't need to think about it to know where the next stop is."

"Therefore, we will condemn Fucaira on the grounds that the Black Cloud Group interferes in the internal affairs of Arab countries. Then there will be an attack. After all, it is impossible for Mr. Bao Zixuan to withdraw from Fucaira."
