A Mercenary’s War - Chapter 2329

[Chapter 2296 Pull the tiger skin and pull the flag]

Starting with coffee as the topic, Gao Yang is finally about to get to the point.

Pen @ Fun @ Court W.

UE.

Although it is a fake, Gao Yang must start with a position that conforms to his identity, and this requires understanding the background of the problem to be said. Of course, Gao Yang must have some understanding of the background of the chaos in Yemen, otherwise he will come here. what meaning.

Overall, the situation in Yemen is very complicated, extremely complicated.

First of all, Yemen was merged into a country from North Yemen and South Yemen in 1990, and despite the nominal merger, the Yemeni government never really controlled the country.

Even when the main government was at its strongest, it never controlled more than 40% of its territory, and those tribes, big and small, didn’t care about Yemen at all.

Then, due to historical and religious reasons, Yemen’s citizens have always been in a state of distrust and confrontation. More than half of the people are pro-Shah, and less than half of the citizens are pro-Iran, while Iran and Saudi Arabia Ah, the part that spared no effort to support Yemen, and the part that tried to control Yemen.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Yemen is a pseudo-state that looks like a country, but is actually a tribal aggregate.

The 2011 storm devastated Libya and also swept Yemen. Former President Saleh sadly resigned and fled abroad for refuge, but Saleh escaped safely, which is much better than Gaddafi.

After Saleh stepped down, Vice President Hadi took over. In fact, Hadi wanted to be a pick, but his resignation was rejected, and he had to continue if he didn’t want to be president.

At this point, it is time to involve the Houthis.

In fact, the Houthis have existed for a long time. When Saleh was in power before, the Houthis and Saleh separated and merged, sometimes as allies and sometimes as enemies, but when Saleh stepped down, they were replaced by Hadi, who represented another sect, came to power, and the Houthis, who were in a natural confrontation with Hadi, soon restored a relatively friendly relationship with Saleh, or at least no longer hostile.

Now the two major factions, or the two major forces, or the two major ethnic groups in Yemen are almost inevitably going to go to war. However, as long as there is a war in Yemen, it is impossible to calm down quickly, even if one side wins No, unless one of the parties is completely dead, or both sides of the war are dead at the same time.

Because the war in Yemen is a very typical proxy war.

For example, the Houthis are supported by Iran. It is hard to say whether they have been completely controlled by Iran, but it is certain that Iran’s attitude will affect the direction of the Houthis to a large extent.

The current government, headed by Hadi, is under the control of the Shah.

A proxy war, as long as the big country behind it does not intend to stop it, even if the blood of the last Yemenis is drained, the war will not stop.

The situation in Yemen is really super complicated, but it is precisely because the situation in Yemen is extremely complicated that it gives people like Gao Yang the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. If the situation in Yemen is simple, then Gao Yang would not dare to play as a trader. War money, of course, there is no need to come.

Now Satan has come to Yemen and has chosen the Houthis. Why did he choose the Houthis only because the Iran behind the Houthis is poorer than the Shah.

Standing on the side of the Husai armed forces, you can eat the big family, and you can bite the fat from the fat to the oily Shah fiercely.

If you stand on Hadi’s side, you can only face Iran, and at best you can only pit bones, so this choice is very easy.

But to control the Houthis, it is necessary to reduce Iran’s control over the Houthis, and this is difficult to do.

First of all, the role played by Gao Yang represents Russian power. In terms of national strength, Russia is of course stronger than Iran, but the problem is that Russia has never directly intervened and controlled the forces in Yemen, but Iran is also a regional power, and has always supported and influenced Yemen. .

Russia and Iran are regarded as allies, and now Iran is backed by Russia, but no matter how good or important the relationship between Russia and Iran is at a large level, there will definitely be different interests in specific areas. Needless to say.

Russia’s influence in Yemen is not too great. If it wants to really intervene in Yemen to fight for its own interests, it must compete with Iran. For Russia, the benefits that can be obtained in Yemen are not worth ending personally. Let Iran, as an ally or a younger brother, help.

Therefore, it is unlikely that Russia will compete with Iran for Yemen in person, but Gao Yang must pull the flag and use the identity of the Russian envoy to contact the Houthis. Otherwise, he will not have any chance at all.

Gao Yang’s identity is fake, so he lacks what a special envoy should really have, that is, the support from the country behind him.

Competing with Iran for partial control of the Houthis is not unusually difficult.

At this time, the wisdom of Gao Yang and Yarebin was taken into consideration. As long as the entire Yemen plan has a good start, the rest will not be a problem. If the beginning is not done well, the rest of the plan can be abandoned. .

Putting down the coffee cup, Gao Yang looked at Abdullah, then smiled, “You know, I’m here on a secret mission.”

To get to the point, everyone here is a stakeholder, and they are all The core person, so after the high-profile opening, the whole room immediately became very quiet, and even the chewing stopped.

Abdullah nodded slightly, indicating that he was listening carefully, but did not speak.

Gao Yang pointed to himself, then to Abdullah, and then said softly, “You have a traditional friendly relationship with our country.”

Abdul stretched his hand to his chest, bowed slightly, and nodded. Said: “I agree with you, we have always had a very good and close relationship with your country.”

It seems that Abdullah is a man of few words, UU reading www.

sonicmtl.

com just agreed with Gao Yang’s words, but didn’t continue to talk along the lines, and this is also good for Gao Yang, because he needs to throw out his bait as soon as possible to see if there is enough attraction.

It was agreed by Gao Yang and Yarebin to come up and directly reveal the benefits. Because of this kind of thing, it is nonsense to say anything false. Only the benefits are real. No one is kidding you about this.

Gao Yang said indifferently: “We can provide you with 10 million US dollars in cash assistance, as well as a large amount of weapons and equipment.”

10 million US dollars is an astronomical amount for ordinary people, but it is not too much for such a huge force as the Houthis. A lot, but this figure is still more in line with the generosity of Russia’s shots at present, there is no way, Russia is poor now.

Sure enough, Abdullah said indifferently: “Thank you for your kindness, I am very grateful.” He

said that he was very grateful, but his expression was different, so Gao Yang continued: “This is just the first batch of aid. Of course, there will be a second period and a third period later, and it depends on your needs.” (To be continued.)
