    <!¡ª¡ªgo¡ª¡ª> At the same time, senior American politicians are also very angry about the internal security situation of the United States. A CIA employee was actually captured in the United States and taken to an unknown location.  [Novel Family] Moreover, China has collected a large amount of physical evidence, which was obviously completed in the United States. Such large-scale intelligence collection activities show that China has established a huge intelligence network and intelligence search capabilities in the United States.  This incident also triggered turmoil within the CIA and even the FBI. The United States also strengthened its domestic control and cracked down on the latent networks of foreign intelligence agencies, but with little effect. Since China dares to come up with these things,  As long as they are well prepared and prepared, the United States will not be able to easily take away the intelligence network it has worked so hard to build.  On the contrary, other countries' intelligence agencies in the United States have suffered considerable losses.  Qi Yiming actually has many Red Alert spies lurking in the United States, and even senior employees within the CIA are Red Alert spies.  It was with their help that Richards was successfully arrested this time.  Americans have never imagined that within their most powerful intelligence agency, there are many unscrupulous people serving China.

    Although they were pinched by the Chinese, the Americans did not want to be captured without resistance. However, another thing happened at this time, which forced them to temporarily use the ladder set up by China to get down.

    The Middle East, an important geopolitical center for Americans, is in chaos again.  This time the chaos began in the Kurdish-inhabited areas of northern Iraq, which is also one of the spheres of influence of the United States in Iraq.  Since the end of the Gulf War, Saddam Hussein's regime has been completely overthrown, and Iraq has been artificially divided into three parts: the Kurdish Autonomous Region in the north, the Sunni-controlled area in the center, and the Shiite Special Administrative Region in the south.  The southern Shia Special Zone was established with the support of China. Its economic level has improved rapidly, and post-war reconstruction work has also progressed smoothly. It is now similar to wealthy countries in the Middle East such as Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates.

    In the central Sunni region, the United States has always worked hard to combine local warlords and politicians, and at the same time, it also needs to prevent extreme forces, so it is difficult to operate.  On the other hand, the northern Kurdish-inhabited areas have achieved certain development results in recent years. Although they are not as good as the southern Shia areas, they have lost the racial discrimination and even massacres of Saddam's regime and have gained a certain degree of autonomy. The situation is now considered good.  .  However, for the first time in so many years, the Kurds have gained a political foothold in the Middle East and achieved substantial autonomy.  Americans have thought a lot about supporting the Kurds and will not go into details at this moment.  In terms of means, the Americans not only gave the Kurds a large amount of economic assistance and helped the Kurds develop oil fields in exchange for income, but also helped the Kurds establish their own regular armed forces.  The Americans may be thinking that if China supports the Shia armed forces in launching an uprising war against Iraq in the future, and it is inconvenient for the United States to send troops to intervene on a large scale and travel thousands of miles away, the Kurdish armed forces can avoid a serious deterioration of the situation if they are powerful.  Moreover, in the eyes of Americans, the Kurds are now more obedient and easier to control than the Sunni Iraqis.  Therefore, in the past few years, the United States has asked the US military in Iraq to help the Kurdish autonomous government and train a regular army of 50,000 people. Its weapons and equipment are also relatively advanced. Even the American M1A1 main battle tank has sold more than 100 units.  give them.  And because the Americans did not trust the chaotic Sunni government, they assigned the actual control of the Iraqi Air Force to the Kurds. The so-called Iraqi Air Force now is actually an air force armed by the Kurds.  With the help of several large oil fields such as Kirkuk, the Kurds purchased 18 F-16 fighter jets, 24 Apache armed helicopters and other advanced weapons from the United States in exchange for US dollars.

    However, the Americans did not expect that the Kurds, whom they always thought were easy to control, also had ulterior motives.  The Kurds are the world's largest stateless people, formerly a region of powerful Ottoman Turkestan.  In the Lausanne Agreement after World War I, it was divided among different colonies of Turkey, Britain, and France. As the countries in the Middle East became independent, these areas also solidified, but the Kurds did not establish their own country after all.

    The Kurds in Iraq have been exploited repeatedly by the Americans, Iran, Turks, etc., and have been separated and combined with the Iraqi authorities.  Especially during the Iran-Iraq War and the subsequent Gulf War, the Kurds were used against Iraq. Saddam was extremely angry at the disloyalty of the Kurds. Some of his generals and officials also instigated attacks on the Kurds.  of massacre.

    As the power of the Kurds continues to strengthen, the Kurdish side has become increasingly independent. In view of the chaos in central Iraq, they have more reasons to set up layers of checkpoints and even barbed wire fences on the borders of Kurdish inhabited areas.  On the streets of the Kurdish Autonomous Region, there are no Iraqi flags, but the Kurdish flags themselves.  When the Iraqi government existed in name only and its authority was close to zero, the Kurds, like the Shiites in the south, continued to increase their autonomy and strengthen their strength.

    &nbsp; At this time, the Kurds also had a charismatic leader named Masoud Barzani.  Masoud's father, General Mustafa, is a veteran figure in the Kurdish independence movement. Masoud has followed his father in the armed struggle against Iraq since he was a boy.  After the death of General Mustafa, the emerging Masoud Barzani became a representative figure of the Kurdish movement. He led the guerrillas to fight with determination and courage, and was deeply convinced by the locals.

    After the collapse of Saddam¡¯s regime, Barzani actively cooperated with the Americans and was relied upon by the United States.  On the other hand, Barzani also secretly contacted China, also hoping to get support from China.  He did not receive support from China in public, but he was connected with Qi Yiming's strategic bureau.  Privately, Qi Yiming sent a lot of Kurdish talents to Barzani, who were actually red police spies.  Moreover, Qi Yiming also gave Barzani a way to contact Ukraine, so that Barzani could obtain a large amount of arms from Ukraine for future great undertakings.

    Ukraine has been penetrated by Chinese capital since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Today, China is Ukraine¡¯s most important overseas investor.  Ukraine has also opened up many core arms industries in a funny way. Qi Yiming took this opportunity to integrate some Ukrainian military industrial enterprises. Ukraine is also happy, after all, it is good for the supply of weapons to its army.  With these large and small arms companies, coupled with Ukraine's weak supervision and government corruption, Qi Yiming can easily export batches of smuggled arms from Ukraine.  Most of these arms are low-end weapons, mainly items that existed in the Soviet era, but in rare cases they include the production of refurbished tanks, armored vehicles, and even missiles.  Barzani paid a lot of real money, and Qi Yiming spared no effort to provide him with these weapons and equipment, including high-quality and low-priced BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles, which were exported to Barzani in large quantities.  The Kurdish regime in Nigeria.

    Of course, what is more important to Barzani is that China acquiesces to the Kurds in establishing an independent Kurdish state in the Middle East and supports Barzani in integrating the Kurdish areas controlled by Turkey, Syria, and Iran.  At the same time, Qi Yiming also privately assured Barzani that once Barzani rebels, he will definitely help him contain the Americans and will provide more help.

    Of course, not only that, Qi Yiming also provided Barzani with more valuable things, including guiding Barzani to establish his own intelligence system and guerrillas in the three countries of Turkey, Syria and Iraq, providing convenience and support for him to connect with the local Kurds.  support.

    Finally, when all the energy of the United States was drawn to the Balkans, Barzani, who had been in business for many years, believed that the time was ripe and suddenly announced the independent establishment of Kurdistan. The Kurdish Autonomous Region in northern Iraq separated from the Iraqi Federation and established an independent country on its own. This was also the Kurdish  The first modern country established by man.

    Barzani did not inform the Americans and suddenly declared independence without warning, which shocked the Americans.  And at this moment, the central government of Sunni central Iraq cannot even deal with the surrounding extremist armed forces and warlords, let alone the stronger Kurds.  Apart from weakly shouting that it does not recognize the independence of Kurdistan, the Iraqi government can do nothing.

    Even in the southern Shia areas, some Shia Arabs have raised their eyebrows and proposed that since the Kurds have become independent, we should not mix with Iraq. Since the establishment of the southern special zone, there have been people who have been trying to secede from Iraq.  , established a so-called Babylonian Republic.  However, although the politics of the Southern Special Administrative Region nominally come from the central government, no one knows that the Southern Special Administrative Region is actually run by the Chinese.  Therefore, whether the Babylonian Republic can be established depends on whether the Chinese people nod or not.  Although the independence of Iraqi Kurdistan seems to be free of gunfire and revolution, it has had a huge shock to several neighboring countries.  In particular, Turkey, which has more than 10 million Kurds, has declared a state of emergency in Kurdish-inhabited areas and has taken strict precautions on the border from Kurdistan to Turkey. It has also mobilized troops frequently and seems to be hesitant to extinguish this spark.  .  At the same time, Turkey immediately withdrew from the Balkans and no longer cared about Kosovo and Yugoslavia. Its own affairs were the top priority.  The first country to leave appeared, and the NATO allies dispersed one after another. In the end, the United States had to agree to China's conditions, sat down with its nose pinched, and let Kosovo and Yugoslavia sign a peace agreement.
