1410 The Gulf War is finally coming!
(Warm celebrating the president of the US election, comrades, the world will begin to become interesting.)
"The first batch of tanks have arrived in Iran, and Iraq has also begun to prepare." Liu Yijiu, who has always been paying attention to the news in the Middle East, basically asks about Yin Xianping's situation every day.
Hearing this, Liu Yijiu stretched his eyebrows a little, "So, is Saddam going to do it?"
"Saudi Arabia and Kuwait jointly forced Iraq to force debts. Now oil prices are still recovering with the recovery of oil production in Iraq and Iran, and the oil production of Saudi Arabia and other countries has increased. Therefore, Iraq has mobilized its troops to the southern border..." Yin Xianping continued to explain.
He did not say whether Saddam would do it now, but the answer was very obvious.
If you don’t do anything, what are you doing when you mobilize your troops to the southern border?
"Is Liu Suxue ready to come back?" Liu Yijiu asked suddenly.
It has been several months since this, and Liu Suxue has not come back.
"The housekeeper is in the Middle East and now spends most of his time in Iraq. There are too many things he needs to help..." Yin Xianping looked at Liu Yijiu and said nothing else.
Liu Yijiu didn't say anything else, but let Yin Xianping tell himself as soon as possible after getting the news, and then he devoted himself to his work again.
Before Iraq entered Kuwait, it was impossible for the Americans to mobilize their troops to the Middle East. Perhaps now they are ready to wait for Saddam's troops to enter Kuwait.
The Gulf War, even if it did not happen in its original history, still happened.
Of course, maybe this will be like the historical process.
Iraq and Kuwait have been negotiating oil. In any case, Kuwait is asking Iraq to repay their default debts. Saudi Arabia also has such a request, which makes Saddam very angry.
"It's just a bastard, we can't stand it anymore! Otherwise, our country will be in danger." In June 1990, when Kuwait refused to cut oil production and Iraq also refused to pay off its debts with oil, Saddam was completely angry. "Let our army launch an attack on them!"
"Mr. President, calm down first. If we attack them now, it will be completely inconvenient for us. We still have a large number of weapons and equipment. Once the United States-led joint team joins the war, we will suffer a lot of losses and even lose victory." A thin Chinese old man suddenly said.
Saddam's generals dared not say anything about the president's anger.
Although, the plan was made early in the morning.
"We have to wait any longer!" Saddam looked at Liu Suxue with some angrily, "Liu, this time I have devoted my entire wealth to this!"
"I know. Because of this, we should act according to the plan. Before this, any accident will have a serious impact on our plan. Aren't the Americans ready? Are the European countries also ready? Then, we should let the war start from Africa. If the French are dragged down, the war between the British and Argentina has not ended yet, how many other allies can the Americans?"
"You mean, let Africa get chaos first. Of course, we should warn the Kuwait royal family. Then mobilize several divisions of troops to the border. At the same time, our underground bases must also be accelerated! At the same time, Baghdad's air defense network needs to be strengthened, and the Americans will definitely bomb our capital..." Liu Suxue believes that these aspects should be considered at present. "Especially, our equipment has just arrived. Once the war begins, the United States will incite the global economic sanctions and embargoes on us..."
Saddam calmed down completely.
For him, this kind of complaint is not just to vent his inner dissatisfaction.
"Then wait!" Saddam said gritting his teeth, "Hasim, mobilize five more divisions to the border and tell the Kuwait royal family that I am very unhappy."
"Please rest assured that our army is ready. Tomorrow night, five divisions will appear at the border and put on an attacking situation." Sultan Hasim Ahmed assured the president.
"Increase our various weapons production, especially graphite bombs, etc." Saddam said to his son-in-law, the minister of the Military Industry Production Department.
Kamal patted his chest and promised that the weapons and ammunition they had stockpiled would be enough to pay for Iraq to fight another ten years of war.
Since the Iraq-Iraq War was not over, Iraq has been desperately producing weapons and equipment.
Iraq, which has a fast and powerful military force, has made countries such as Israel feel great concerns.
This is also the reason why Saudi Arabia and Kuwait forced Iraq to force debts under the guidance of the United States.
"All long-range weapons and equipment must be moved to a safer area!" Liu Suxue was relieved when he saw Saddam's endurance and did not require a military operation against Kuwait now.
Too many weapons and equipment are still on the way.
"Liu, Kuwait royal family, I hope your people can help you catch them!" Saddam suddenly said to Liu Suxue. "As assets worth hundreds of billions of dollars cannot be cheaper in Europe and the United States..."
"No, either you dispatch special forces or you will find international mercenaries. I am just an intermediary who hopes to earn pension money!" Liu Suxue shook his head. "Of course, things in Africa can begin now. But before that, you'd better talk to the US ambassador again. Their attitude should be announced to the whole world..."
Americans kept hinting that Iraq could attack Kuwait.
This is completely very contradictory.
Saddam also discovered the American conspiracy from this matter.
If you control oil, you will control the whole world.
The Soviet Union obviously couldn't do it, but the Soviets had no attitude in this matter. Instead, they sold a large number of weapons and equipment to Saddam. Even their most advanced light fighter MiG-29 sold dozens of them to Iraq.
Cooperating with the J-11, the most advanced heavy fighter in the United States produced by China, Saddam is not without a chance of winning.
Of course, at least, he did not make the troops remove the fighter planes and prepare to bury them in the desert, but instead planned to use the equipment that was about to be eliminated to attract American firepower, and wait until the Americans think that the war is over before stabbing the Americans from behind.
The next morning, Saddam summoned US Ambassador April Glaspi.
The US ambassador kept asking for Saddam to meet him from Saddam mobilized his troops to the border between the two sides, but it was hard to see him.
Kuwait is very afraid of Iraq's behavior. If the United States had not supported it, perhaps they would have agreed to Saddam's conditions.
Therefore, when meeting Saddam, April Glaspi immediately expressed his concerns about Saddam's troops stationed on the borders of the two countries. "Mr. President, your country suddenly stations a large number of troops on the borders of the two countries, which will have serious consequences and will be even more unfavorable to negotiations."
"Mr. Ambassador, the negotiations between us and Kuwait are no longer able to continue. The conditions for the Kuwaits are too harsh. This is completely unprepared to use negotiations to resolve the problem!" Saddam expressed his anger at the Kuwait side. "So, I decided to add five more divisions to the border and tell the Kuwaits that we are not easy to bully. If negotiations cannot solve the problem, then we will solve it with force."
Saddam's remarks are very consistent with his image.
However, the US ambassador was not surprised by this matter. "Our government expressed concern about your country's gathering of armed forces on the border of Ico. James Baker has been emphasizing all Arab countries that our US government remains neutral in the internal affairs of Arab countries, such as territorial disputes between Ico. Arab affairs should be resolved by Arabs themselves!"
"In this way, even if we take action against Kuwait, the US government will remain neutral?" Saddam's mouth moved slightly, but he said nothing else.
As if the US ambassador had not heard Saddam's words, he shifted the topic, "However, we still hope that you will have friendly negotiations with Kuwait!"
After the conversation, Iraqi media began to report on the content of the president's conversation with the US ambassador this morning.
Everyone believes that this is the United States' support for Iraq to solve the problem by force.
In Kuwait, after receiving this news, Emir, the supreme ruler of the entire country, Jabir found the American ambassador with great concern.
Iraqi troops are simply unaware of them.
The number of troops in Kuwait is too small.
"Emir, don't worry, Saddam made it clear that his army would not invade until the negotiations are restarted again. The accurate message sent by our ambassador to Iraq. This is just a pressure on you. After all, it is not easy to take this opportunity to get the economically difficult Iraq to agree to the border between you two countries. Although Iraq acknowledged your independence many years ago, Saddam did not think so..."
Historically, Kuwait was a county under the Basra Province of the Ottoman Empire. Until June 19, 1961, Kuwait broke away from British colonial rule and declared independence. However, since that time, Iraq has always emphasized that Kuwait is an inseparable whole in Iraq. Although, after the Iraq Revolution in 1963 and the Baath Party recognized Kuwait's independence, it still had a 160-kilometer border that was not established.
