Chapter 729: Soviet Union to Station Troops
Andre, back in Iraq again!
For Andrei, after last year's expansion, the area that the Turkestan Military Region needs to control has greatly increased, including Iranian land, Saudi Arabia's oil producing areas, as well as Iraq and other places under indirect control.
The Middle East is related to the Soviet Union's energy security. By controlling this region, the Soviet Union controls the global oil prices. Therefore, Andre must have a firm control over it, and the key, of course, is Iraq!
"General Andre, you are very welcome." At Baghdad's international airport, Uday came to greet Andre in person.
Uday is the president, and Andrei is only the commander of the military district. According to the specifications, Uday is not required to come to greet him, but now, Uday has to do so, because Uday's current power comes from Andrei's support!

"President Uday, I have reported your performance to General Secretary Andropov in Moscow. General Secretary Andropov was very satisfied and praised Iraq for its continuous stream of talented people, saying that the young people are really formidable," said Andrei.
"Thank you General Secretary Andropov for the compliment." Uday felt very uncomfortable after hearing this, but of course he also knew that he had to act out the pleasure of being raped.
The huge motorcade drove towards the Presidential Palace in Baghdad. Andre sat in the comfortable Mercedes-Benz bulletproof car, looking at the luxury cars surrounding him and in front with envy.
"Middle Eastern people are really rich! Even our General Secretary Andropov doesn't have so many luxury cars when he travels." Andrei sighed in the car.

"If General Secretary Andropov likes it, we can give this car to him." Uday quickly said, "Oh, no, we will order a new car of the same model from Germany and give it to him."
"No, this is not possible. Now, we in the Soviet Union are fighting against corruption. As a national leader, the General Secretary's words and deeds are of great importance. He must not accept any gifts." Andrei said, "However, I will convey your thoughts to the General Secretary."
Uday was thinking rapidly in his mind, what on earth was Andrei doing here this time? He kept mentioning Moscow and General Secretary Andropov. Could it be?

"General Andre, as the President of Iraq, I have not visited any foreign countries since I took office. Now that the domestic political situation is stable and the people are living and working in peace and contentment, it is time for me to make a state visit. I think I should visit Moscow in the near future. What do you think?"
Now, Uday no longer worries about going to Moscow and never returning, because he is, after all, an ally of the Soviet Union.
Andre nodded and expressed his approval: "President Uday, our general secretary is also looking forward to meeting you."
As expected! General Andrei, can you speak directly from now on? Countless alpacas flashed through Uday's mind. You are not a woman. Why do you always make me wonder what you are thinking?

The convoy soon arrived at the Presidential Palace. Last year, it had been bombed by American warplanes, especially by laser-guided bombs. However, after the war, the Presidential Palace was rebuilt on the ruins. It was more luxurious and extravagant than before, and the outside was shining with gold.
After entering the presidential palace, they went straight to the banquet hall, where Uday hosted a banquet for Andrei and his entourage.
"General Andrei, let me toast you first. You have made a lot of contributions to our Iraq's cause in the Middle East. Without the help of the Soviet Union and the rebellion in Turkey, we would never have won the final victory." Uday raised his glass and said to Andrei.
As a human being, we must be grateful. No matter how he cursed the Soviets in private a few days ago, Uday still has great respect for Andrei now, and he has actually adapted to his current role very quickly.

"During the time when Saddam was president, I had a deep friendship with him. I even flew with him in the sky." Andre said, "It's a pity that President Saddam has gone to another world for the cause of Iraq and the cause of the Middle East. Let's toast to President Saddam with this first glass of wine."
When President Saddam was mentioned, even Uday and Qusay turned serious and drank the first glass.

Uday was confused. What did Andre mean by that? Qusay, who was standing by, was clear in his mind. Your father and I are of the same generation. I am your elder! Moreover, this kind of revolutionary friendship must continue!
Sure enough, after finishing the first cup, Andre continued, "Now, although we have driven away American imperialism and are proud of ourselves, and the whole world knows that it is us, Iraq, who have defeated the United States, but the sacrifices Iraq has made for this are too great. The reconstruction of the Iraqi army is very important."
Iraq has made great sacrifices. Now that it has controlled the oil resources, even if it is only the oil resources of Kuwait, it is enough for Iraq to catch its breath and its national wealth will continue to grow. However, the army cannot be bought with money alone.
Those dead troops and soldiers cannot survive. Even if they have equipment, they still need people to operate it, especially technical arms like the air force. Iraq suffered heavy losses. If it had not been for the help of the Iranian Volunteer Air Force, Iraq would have been flying over its head with American planes.

"All this still depends on the help of our Soviet friends." Uday said: "Our army must quickly become strong again."
Uday wanted to order Soviet fighters and have them delivered as soon as possible! In this war, many Iraqi fighters were destroyed, and they could just upgrade to the third-generation aircraft, so they ordered a large number of MiG-29s from the Soviet Union. However, the delivery of these fighters was still a long way off. Therefore, in order to solve the urgent problem, they ordered a batch of J-7Ms from China.
However, taking advantage of Uday's words, Andre continued, "Yes, in order to help the Iraqi army rebuild, I have a suggestion. Our Turkestan Military District can organize several volunteer flight regiments to transfer to Iraq to help Iraq guard the sky. What do you think? I think the H-3 base in the north is a good choice."

The Soviet Union wants to station troops! Hearing this, Kusai's heart sank immediately. These Soviets really would not let them go. They were not satisfied with just placing advisers, but directly stationed troops here!
North! Now that the Kurds in the north have left, Iraq is preparing to move a group of people there in a planned manner. However, there is still a vacuum there, and the Soviet Union proposed a garrison plan at this time. Even if there is no army, only a few aviation regiments, this is also a problem of nature!
I can't agree to this, I absolutely can't agree to this! But how can I refuse?
