Rebirth of the Military Industrial Overlord

I wandered around with Commander Fahd every day, looking for Prince Sultan to eat and drink, and flew to Dubai from time to time to watch the camel racing with His Royal Highness Prince Sheikh who has been officially designated as the heir to the throne, and often accompanied his Wei who took the time to accompany him. Wei An went to the major luxury stores to buy and buy willfully. In the eyes of everyone, Master Tan Er came to Riyadh on a whim like a vacation.

During this period, the only thing he did that can be called serious is that on July 20th, as a special guest of both parties, he was invited to attend the official visit of China Foreign Minister Qian’s visit to Haosha and exchanged credentials with Haosha. A ceremony to establish diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level.

He did explain it to others in this way. Some time ago, he was too busy and it was rare to have time. Is it natural to come to gather with old friends and relax?

And Vivienne also happened to graduate from the Stanford MBA, so of course he has to celebrate, right?

He said that there are many people who believe, but there are also a few people who do not believe.

For example, Mr. William Joseph Casey, Director of the CIA.

"Satellite photos show that Ikla is gradually gathering troops on the Ikoh border. We can't tell if they want to do it, or just to increase the bargaining chip in the negotiation."

Because of the great success in Eastern Europe, Director William at this time can be said to be proud of his work. When reporting to President Bush, his confidence was also full: "However, after the investigation and judgment in our bureau, we are more inclined to the Ikra people just doing intimidation. As far as the country’s current domestic problems and economic conditions are concerned, we don’t think they are capable of launching a new war in the short term, but it’s worth noting that Eric Tan has also recently delivered a "flying "Leopards" arrived in Riyadh in the name of a fighter plane and on vacation. We don’t know yet what he wants to do there, but I think this is something worth noting."

"Eric may just be there to stand before Huaxia and Haosha establish a relationship. This is also Huaxia's usual method." Bush gently tapped the tabletop with his fingers, and said solemnly: "William, we need to discuss more important things first. matter". He then turned to his national security adviser: "Brent, what do you think of Ikra's recent developments?"

Brent. Scowcroft leaned slightly in his seat, and then replied, "Mr. President, I personally think this is a godsend opportunity."

"How to say?"

"We all know what's underground in the Middle East. If we control it, we also control nearly half of the world's oil." Brent replied in a deep voice: "In the past, the power there was complicated. Although we, the U.S. Sa, but Isaac’s land area is too small, and it can only play a limited role. We have also supported the Persians, but unfortunately, it completely failed. Moreover, the Middle East and Soviet Russia are more geographically Their proximity makes their influence on the region actually surpass our country."

After a pause, he continued: "However, in the past ten years, we have made great progress. The Egyptians have chosen a stance that is more inclined to us. The Persians are exhausted after a long confrontation with Iqra. The local forces are Now there is only one Arab League that has a slight impact. The Soviet Russians’ global contraction is very obvious. They don’t have the energy to get involved in the Middle East anymore. It can be said that at present, we have won in one fell swoop. The best time to control the area."

Bush raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? Is there any way?"

Brent. Scowcroft smiled slightly: "Your Excellency, I think that to provoke conflicts within the Arab League, to completely split this alliance, and to establish our unique control in this region, we need a war."

...

To make a determination to fight a war, the commander needs to fully weigh the purpose of the war, the strength of the two sides, the international situation and other factors before it can make it. Since President Sha Damu is the commander of the Iqra Army, he has gone through eight years of hard work. The tempering of the Iraq War naturally understands the truth.

The goal is clear, although the reason is somewhat helpless, but now, there is no better way-as the shield and spear of the Arab League, Ikra shed countless blood and spent countless money in the Iran-Iraq War , The domestic people's livelihood was withered, complaints were rife, the life and life had changed from a well-off society before the war to the current abject poverty and debts, and the rebirth of domestic contradictions, all of which made President Sha Damu feel tremendous pressure.

And why should we Ikra people want to stay ahead and spend money and bleed? Are we not fighting for the entire Arab world? Without us, why can you enjoy the decadent life of glory and prosperity in the back?

Now that the war is over, the Persian expansion has been temporarily suppressed, and you have come to force us to pay back—this is too bullying!

We want to pay it back, but look at the international oil prices that have fallen below the floor. Can we still afford it? Or should we Ikra people sell the last pair of underwear to pay you back?

In particular, you have a small Bangkowite, you only have more than 10,000 square kilometers of land, accounting for 0.012% of the total land area of ​​the world. Just such a little place contains nearly one-tenth of the world’s oil resources. Almost a country that floats on oil, with a population of only one million. It is simply a good life to lie down and make money. Why do you?

Without our Ikla blocking the front to fight and kill, you were taken away by the Persians not long ago?

A loan of 14 billion U.S. dollars is nothing but a small amount of money compared to your country’s foreign exchange reserves and hundreds of billions of dollars of investment abroad?

what? What kind of?

This is money for the lives of our Ikra people, know you?

And historically, during the Ottoman Empire, your Kvet was originally just a county under the jurisdiction of our Ikra Basra province. Have you ever heard of the term "since ancient times"?

This matter must be reasonably reasonable. Our army, which has been tempered by war for 8 years, can't do the Persians, but can't do you princes with soft feet?

Of course, this matter can’t be taken rashly. You have to look at the attitudes of the Soviets and Americans first. Well, the Soviets seem to have nothing to deal with lately. The European market and their own internal mess are all I am too busy, so just ask the attitude of the Americans.

In July 1990, President Sha Damu summoned U.S. ambassador to Ikra, April. Ms. Glasspi, during the talks, he has been complaining about all kinds of unfriendliness towards Iraq by Kvet and his behaviors that damage Iraq's interests everywhere and said that it is tolerable or unbearable!

The ambassador who received clear instructions from the country expressed her sympathy for Ikra very sincerely and said: "We have no opinion on conflicts between Arab countries, such as your dispute with Kevet."

April After saying this, Ms. Glaspi flew back to Washington for vacation. She acted as if she was really indifferent to the matter. At the same time, because of the current tensions on the border, Kvet asked the United States to intervene in mediation. The U.S. Congress convened a special meeting to discuss. At the meeting, the U.S. State Department’s Deputy Secretary of State for Near East Affairs made the following statement: “The U.S. has no commitment to defend against Kvit. At the same time, if Ikra attacks Kvit, the U.S. will not protect it. intention."

These successive news made President Sha Damu feel that the Americans should really not want to interfere in his actions.

Then, it's time to make up your mind.
