Chapter 509 Armistice Agreement

Qeshm Island.

If you look at the map, this island looks a bit like an unsinkable aircraft carrier, and the location of this aircraft carrier happens to be the throat of the Persian Gulf, the north of the Strait of Hormuz. It can be said that this is a strategic location. Whoever controls it controls the Middle East!

And now, on this territory, flying are the red crescent flag of Iran’s new people’s government and the Soviet sickle and hammer flag!

This is the land of the new Iranian government, but now, this land is temporarily leased to the Soviet Union for use, including the port of Abbas in the north of Qeshm Island, the port of Chabahar in the southeast corner of Iran, and some important transportation routes in the east, all of which are temporarily leased to the Soviet Union!

Today, Qeshm Island has ushered in a major event for the establishment of the new People's Republic of Iran! The armistice agreement between Iran and Iraq will be signed here!

As representatives, Iraq's Foreign Minister Aziz and Iraq's Defense Minister Adnan attended the signing of the armistice agreement. On the other side was the Iranian People's Government's Foreign Minister Khatami, who is also a beautiful woman. In Iran's new government, women already occupy half of the positions.

The war was initiated by Iraq. When the United States invaded Iran, Iraq attacked from the west. However, the real cause of the war was also because after the Iranian revolution, Iran wanted to continue to export revolution to other countries, which triggered a series of irreconcilable contradictions. Of course, some of the dirty things that existed between Iran and Iraq also became the fuse between the two countries.

There was no real winner in this war. Iran lost nearly 500,000 people during the entire war. Most of the young people who should have been working were thrown into the terrible war of attrition. Iraq also lost nearly 200,000 people.

However, because Iraq was the one who initiated the war and now has a certain advantage, Iraqi representatives still believe that they have won the war.

The one who mediated the peace talks between the two countries was General Andrei, the famous Soviet general with a legendary experience! As the commander of the Turkestan Military District, Andrei personally attended the negotiation ceremony.

At the same time, only Andrei has enough prestige to negotiate between the two countries, because General Andrei's combat experience in recent years has convinced everyone! If they are still not convinced, the current Soviet military strength will also convince the other side!

This is Basaidu, a city in the western part of Qeshm Island. Although it is called a city, it is actually just a large town. From the tallest building, you can see several destroyers patrolling on the sea in the distance.

The flag flying above is the sickle and hammer. It can be said that the Soviet Navy has now taken control of this place, and these warships are just showing off their military power!

"We hope to use Isfahan as the dividing line, with us controlling the west and your government controlling the east." Foreign Minister Aziz first stated his bottom line.

When President Saddam went to Moscow, a secret agreement was reached. In principle, the Soviet Union supported Iraq's acquisition of Iran's western region, while the Soviet Union occupied the eastern part and completely divided the entire Iran.

And now, a new people's government has suddenly emerged in Iran. In their view, this people's government is just the spokesperson of the Soviet Union. Therefore, it should be the fairest to divide it according to the original agreement.

This is equivalent to taking half of Iran's territory! The area is even three times the current area of ​​Iraq!

"You are dreaming! At most, we will redraw the border of the Shatt al-Arab River." Iranian Foreign Minister Khatami slammed the table and said, "You want to occupy more of our territory, which is absolutely impossible!"

This seemingly beautiful woman now reveals her macho side and is even ready to roll up her sleeves to fight against the Iraqis here.

The lion's mouth is too big, and it wants half of Iran's territory all at once. How can the Iranian people's government agree to it! If it agrees, the people's support that the government has finally gained will be completely lost! Although the people hate war, they absolutely cannot tolerate half of the country being divided into Iraq!

"Yes, you want to continue to start a war. We in Iran are never afraid of external threats!" Habibullah next to Khatami also shouted: "You Iraqis have been driven out of most of their territory by us. As long as we continue to fight, we will definitely drive you all out. The flames of war will burn on your land!"

The hatred between Iraq and Iran is not so easy to resolve! However, isn't this in the best interests of the two countries? If Iraq and Iran become brothers, then Iraq's continued expansion will also damage the interests of the Soviet Union in the Middle East. You know, Saddam also has great ambitions.

Andre looked at the people on both sides who started arguing and even spitting at each other, and knew that it was time for him to step out and fulfill his duties as a mediator.

"Everyone, do you still take me seriously now?" Andre said, "If you keep arguing, I will give each of you a knife. Let's go out and compete?"

Andre's eyes swept over everyone, and they all calmed down.

"What is the name of our meeting?" Andre asked.

"An armistice agreement."

"Okay, since it's a ceasefire agreement, then we can just use the current control line as the demarcation line. Both sides will stop exchanging fire and retreat 20 kilometers. As for the demarcation line in the middle, the peacekeeping force will be stationed there. What do you think?"

The current line of control is the dividing line? When the Iraqis heard Andrei's words, they were immediately dissatisfied. What would this mean? So many people died, and it was all in vain? What about the territories that were agreed upon in the first place? And what about the war compensation? It cost a lot to fight this war.

Iran was also immediately dissatisfied. The current control line is the demarcation line? Then Khuzestan Province is all Iraqi? That won't do. It has been Iranian territory for generations! Moreover, there are several large oil fields there. How can we let the Iraqis occupy it!

No, absolutely not!

"This is my opinion, and it also represents Moscow's opinion. Any party that disagrees is becoming an enemy of Moscow," said Andrei.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the entire conference room suddenly turned cold.

After a long pause, the beautiful Khatami asked, "So, who sent the peacekeeping troops?"

"It's us, the Soviets." Andre said. Sure enough, Iran's current government knows what choice it should make.

Now, it's time to look at the other side, Iraq.
