Barzani sent middle- and lower-level Kurdish officers to study with the Chinese. Although he did not say that he could learn everything, he still benefited a lot. On the other hand, the Syrian side was far behind in this field. At first glance, faced with such a fast-paced attack by the Kurdish army, The law made them extremely uncomfortable and suffered consecutive defeats.
The fighting lasted only four days, and the Kurdish People's Protection Units basically cleared the area in Syrian Kurdistan. Barzani also couldn't wait to announce that the Kurdish-inhabited areas in Syria are also a sacred and indivisible part of the Kurdistan Republic.
After Qi Yiming heard the news, he still felt that Barzani was a bit hasty. After he announced the occupation of the Kurdish region in Syria, it must have aroused the vigilance of Iran and Turkey. Even if Iran and Turkey can put aside their past grievances, they may even work together to suppress Barzani's Kurdistan. By then, it may really be a Middle East war. Chaos.
However, Qi Yiming doesn't mind the heated war in the Middle East. After all, he has no special expectations for Kurdistan. Their main role has been completed, which is to help China involve the energy of the United States. As for whether Kurdistan can really be established in the end, Qi Yiming didn't particularly care.
¡°If Turkey and Iran are really involved in the conflict with the Kurds, China will definitely not support either party on the surface, but will remain neutral and then pretend to mediate. As Iran's main arms supplier, China will inevitably stop providing weapons to Iran on the grounds that Iran is at war. However, Qi Yiming can provide weapons to Kurdistan and Iran at the same time through Ukraine, allowing them to fight more intensely.
At this time, the United States demanded a ceasefire between Kurdistan and Syria. Barzani had already occupied the Syrian Kurdistan region, so he had no objection to the ceasefire. However, the Kurdish People's Protection Units were more defensive on the borders of the Syrian Kurdish region, seeming to prevent it. Entry of any Syrian.
At this time, another incident also occurred. Because of the military defeat of the Syrian army, Syrian President Assad's condition worsened and he was seriously ill and hospitalized. Bashar, who was leading the army on the front line, had to return from the front line to sit in Damascus. This It also made it difficult for the Syrian army to carry out its originally planned counterattack, and in the end it could only form a confrontation with the Kurdish army on the border of the Kurdish region.
After one wave after another, the Kurdish army achieved impressive results in Syria, which also boosted the confidence of Barzani and all Kurds. It also allowed many Kurds who had lived in discrimination and oppression to see the possibility of standing up. Dawn, especially the Kurds in Turkey who make up the majority of the Kurdish population, are extremely excited. Recently, some Turkish Kurds even held demonstrations and rallies to celebrate the founding of Kurdistan, but they were expelled and suppressed by the Turkish government.
Turkey has been suppressing the Kurds, who account for 15% of the total population in Turkey. It has even banned the Kurds from using Kurdish in public, and has pursued a policy of Turkification of the Kurds, hoping to assimilate the Kurds in Turkey.
Although the Iraqi Kurds and the Turkish Kurds have had many differences with historical development, such as their writing using different systems of letters, they are still the same people who broke their bones and connected their tendons. At this time, Barzani's Kurdistan was established, which inspired many Kurds who were dissatisfied with the status quo. In particular, the Turkish Workers' Party, which had been insisting on armed struggle with the Turkish government, believed that this was the time to resist Turkey, gain independence, and establish a unified state. Good times in Kurdistan.
On the third day of the temporary ceasefire in the Kurdistan-Syria war, Turkish PKK forces launched attacks on government troops and some government institutions in Turkish Kurdistan. This attack the PKK also mobilized many eager local people. They provided support and assistance to the Workers' Party's armed forces, allowing the Workers' Party to successively capture several small towns on the border of Turkmenistan.
Workers' Party leader Ocalan, who hurried back to Turkey, announced: "The Kurdish independence movement has been developing for decades and will finally reach its peak now. Countless Kurdish people with lofty ideals are looking forward to a new era of independence, freedom and democracy." It is coming. We, the PKK, have the support of our compatriots in Iraq. Now is the time to liberate the 15 million compatriots who are still forced to call themselves Turks!¡±
In fact, Ocalan and the PKK did not reach any cooperation agreement with Barzani and the KDP. Although Barzani initially tentatively contacted the PKK, due to estrangement and leadership issues, the two parties No consensus was reached.
However, realizing that the dream of a Greater Kurdistan cannot be realized without the support of the Iraqi Kurds, Ocalan boldly rushed from Turkey to Erbil, the capital of Kurdistan, to meet with the President of Kurdistan. Barzani.
Ocalan and Barzani held a meetingAfter six hours of closed-door talks, Ocalan suddenly announced that the PKK would join the Kurdistan regime, and the PKK also recognized the authority of the KDP to lead Kurdistan. Correspondingly, the PKK also received support from Barzani. Barzani agreed to conduct extensive elections in the Kurdish regions of Turkey in the future, and people's elections would determine whether the PKK or the PKK would dominate the local government.
After the news came out, it aroused strong dissatisfaction from the Turkish government. At the same time, it also mobilized a larger amount of dissatisfaction towards the Kurdish region of Turkey. The existence of Kurdistan is a troublemaker. Turkish Prime Minister Ecevit said forcefully: "Kurdistan split from Iraq." It is unpopular and a major challenge to the existing political landscape of the Middle East. It is also the root of the destruction of peace and stability. The Turkish government warns the so-called Kurdistan rebel regime not to support Turkey's separatist and terrorist forces and intends to divide Turkey. sacred territory, otherwise Turkish warriors will bring the war to Erbil and to Kirkuk to protect their motherland from aggression!¡±
Hearing that Kurdistan actually started to attack Turkey after attacking Syria, the United States jumped even more anxiously. The U.S. envoy rebuked Barzani and demanded that he sever ties with the PKK, otherwise the United States would reconsider whether to recognize the legitimacy of Kurdistan.
However, Barzani did not take the Americans' words to heart. The Americans' main opponent is the Chinese. They are defending each other on a global scale. The U.S.'s military strength is insufficient even to guard against the Chinese, let alone being mobilized to deal with the Kurds. People. Not to mention, Barzani realistically believes that the Americans will not recognize the legitimacy of Kurdistan in the short term. (http://). So if this is the case, threatening Kurdistan with this condition will obviously not have much effect.
At the same time, the PKK has continued to grow in strength after receiving weapons and other material support from Kurdistan. It has frequently attacked Turkish government forces in the Kurdistan region, and some remote towns in mountainous areas have continued to fall, putting pressure on the Turkish government forces. .
Turkish Prime Minister Ecevit became angry and ordered his country¡¯s fighter planes to bomb several PKK strongholds on the Turkish-Kurdish border. At the same time, he also crossed the border and attacked two Kurdistan military targets, causing more than ten Kurdish military casualties. After being attacked, the Kurdish army showed no signs of weakness and immediately dragged out its own rocket launcher units and entered Turkish territory to attack a Turkish military camp, causing dozens of casualties. Because the Turkmenistan border is mountainous, it is difficult for large-scale troops to carry out operations. Therefore, in the border area of ??Turkmenistan, the Kurdish army and the Turkish army began to engage in anxious stalemate battles. The PKK armed forces took this opportunity to continue to fight in the border area. The Turkish army launched an attack from the rear, which made the Turkish army exhausted. However, Barzani is also very smart and knows that although the Kurdish army has the upper hand at the moment, the Kurdish army does not have the ability to penetrate into Turkey and occupy the vast Kurdish area. So basically they occupy some towns on the Turkish-Turkish border and play a tug-of-war with Tš¹rkiye.
