Chapter 554: Tribe Inherited in 0 Years
The end of the fighting in Tikrit marks the beginning of more wars in Salah al-Din province, especially near the north, where the folk customs are tough and some Islamic State forces have gathered.
Although the armed forces of the Islamic State in this area are relatively scattered, the overall combat effectiveness is not very strong, and they are not capable of organizing large-scale military operations, but because of their occupations, they are the most difficult to deal with with the Islamic State here.
These armed forces, in contact with the swampy area in the north of Salah al-Din Province, and the mountainous area that has been handed over to Iran, advance and retreat in an orderly manner, hiding in the depths of the swamp, and are not afraid of being chased and intercepted by heavy armored troops on the ground.
Freedom to enter and exit here will bring troubles of extermination.
Therefore, the capture of Tikrit is only the first step in occupying the entire Salahuddin Province, but it is only the first step.
Moreover, among the large number of tribes in the north, each tribe has its own armed forces, ranging from hundreds to thousands of people.
These tribes have not been confiscated or incorporated like the important economic cities occupied by the Islamic State.
On the contrary, I have been living well here in the north, and I have often made deals with the Islamic State.
But these tribes are all unprofessional tribes. They are not comparable to those tribes on the Silk Road. They are simply a world.
Those tribes on the Silk Road, even the United States would not provoke them, but for such a small tribe, few people would really put them in their eyes.
In fact, these so-called tribes are just small warlords who take advantage of the turmoil in Iraq. They usually conduct various transactions with any force, have intelligence and weapons, and live freely.
No one would come to such a place and meddle in their affairs. After all, these tribes are also sensible people, and they don't provoke anyone, and they just do their own things well.
That's often the case with smart people. To be able to get moisture and long-lasting.
This is different from those local warlords in the Iraqi government. If these warlords want to survive, they all need to be attached to the government army, and there are many restrictions.
But not here, they can do whatever they want. Even some passing small caravans were their targets.
And such a goal. It's not about extracting taxes, but killing people directly. However, they are all polite to those powerful caravans. Don't even dare to charge more tolls.
Usually, if the merchant convoys of the Silk Road troops pass by here,
Some tribes even send soldiers to protect them. Be as friendly as possible.
If there were no missions, Cai Ruichen wouldn't have much thought to move these small warlords who occupy the mountains as kings.
but now. He needs a complete and unified Salahuddin Province, and some things must be resolved.
Add to that the activities of those ISIS militants in this area. A lot of supplies are provided by these guys.
The only thing that makes him feel worried is that these small warlords, many of them are related to the tribes on the Silk Road. There is a certain relationship in it.
As for the tribes that used to be on the Silk Road, even Cai Ruichen felt a headache.
These tribes extend from the Taliban region of Afghanistan to the territory of Syria, and a Silk Road runs through these tribes.
The reason why these tribes are difficult to deal with is not to say how many planes and tanks they have, or how powerful they are.
It's because these guys are all principled lunatics, and their principle is that as long as they don't talk to me, I won't talk to anyone.
They are all real businessmen, they are interested in doing business, and every tribe is very rich. Even the worst tribes have at least billions to tens of billions of wealth. Degree.
It is not at all smaller than those big companies in other countries. It also has a very broad network of contacts internationally. It has business cooperation with many large international consortia and even with many countries.
If it's just such a businessman, it's nothing, but if it's a group of lunatics, it's different.
Since ancient times, all the wealth has been hidden, and the wealth owned by these Silk Road tribes has never been enviable.
Once, not without, conflicts, even wars, have erupted because of greed.
As early as the beginning of the Silk Road, these tribes on the Silk Road were often oppressed, and even often became the targets of robbers and thieves.
Long-term oppression, and a group of rich people with economic acumen and business ideas, will not be able to bear it for a long time.
Since then, these Silk Roads have united and resolutely fought to the point of destruction against any forces that wanted to rob them of their wealth.
Because they all know very well that if they don't show their tough side, they will just go on softly, and in the end they will only become the target of robbery by everyone.
Therefore, a lunatic-like tradition has gradually been developed. As long as someone dares to attack any tribe on the Silk Road, it will cause all tribes on the entire Silk Road to unite against each other.
For more than a thousand years, dynasties in the Middle East have changed, generations of heroes have been wiped out in the long river of history, but these tribes still survive here, and with the development of dynasties, they become more prosperous.
Today, all the ancient tribes on the entire Silk Road have formed a huge alliance, advancing and retreating as one, and have never been separated.
At the same time, these tribes are extremely xenophobic. It seems that some people in the world, in their view, come into contact with them only for wealth.
The spirit is very closed, but the business mind is very developed, and they have industries all over the world.
There was even a European economist who said that if these lunatics unite, they can create a country that squeezes into the developed world.
Sadly, if the Silk Road left this trade route, their wealth would not exist either, so this is bound to be just impossible.
However, this does not affect their status.
Similarly, there are really not many people in the world who know them, because they rarely appear in the eyes of the world, and they always adhere to the quiet fortune, and then everything has nothing to do with me, so don't mess with me.
Cai Ruichen didn't know if he would arouse the hostility of those lunatics on the Silk Road once he attacked these small tribes, and after he also checked the information of Xianguan, he found that in the past few decades, behind these lunatics seemed to have begun to appear A pair of big dark hands are manipulating something.
