The frontline commander Ivanov was speaking with the representative from Russia, and his voice was clearly audible in the hall of the Iraqi Ministry of Defense.
From the large screen in the command hall, several satellite images revealed that the small area where Ivanov was located was right in the heart of the IS armed forces' core region. Even though the main contingent of IS was currently defending against the government forces outside of the mountains, simply relying on a few airborne troops to break out from the encirclement was nothing short of a pipe dream.
Ivanov's request was immediately patched through to Moscow, and after a few seconds, a calm middle-aged male voice resounded in the hall.
"Ivanov, this is Vladimir,"
Everyone present was very familiar with this voice; it was none other than the current President of Russia, who hailed from the KGB of the Soviet Union and was nicknamed 'the Iron Fist'.
