Chapter 144 seek help

"His Majesty the King, it's great to see you.n∈" In the palace of Riyadh, the capital of the Saudi Kingdom, Osama met the current king, His Majesty Fahd.

Just a few months ago, the old Khalid went to another world, and his younger brother Fahd took over the king's position and governed the richest country in the Middle East.

Although as a wealthy businessman in Riyadh, the bin Laden family and the royal family maintained close relationship, they were not members of the royal family after all. If they wanted to see the king, they still needed to report and wait back and forth. When they heard that Osama came to pay homage to the king, Fahd immediately summoned him, which was also a graceful and honor.

Of course, Osama knew that King Fahd had won the respect of the king because of his heroic battle on the battlefield in Afghanistan.

Sure enough, when he saw Osama, King Fahd came down from the throne, walked towards Osama, and said, "Osama, you are the hero of our Saudis! How about it in Afghanistan?"

Saudi Arabia is now a wealthy country. In such a country, few people choose to join the army. Even if they enter the army, they are so lazy that they even leave weapons to others for maintenance. Few people are bloody. People like Osama can pick up weapons and fight on the front line in Afghanistan. Saudi Arabia needs such heroes.

Regardless of how Osama fell in love with the Saudi royal family in later history, at least now, their relationship is very good.

"Thanks to Allah, we are fighting very well in Afghanistan. We have severely hit the Soviet transport convoy. When the Soviets' large forces and air forces arrived, we have already entered the mountains and ran away." Osama said: "So, the Soviets changed their tactics and tried to cut off our logistics supply line. They repeatedly entered the borders of Pakistan and bombed our material storage points, which caused us a lot of passiveness."

The Soviet Union began to constantly engage in friction with Pakistan. King Fahd knew about these situations. He nodded: "It is true. The Soviets' air power is too strong."

"So, Pakistan wants to buy a batch of advanced fighter jets from the United States to equip their air force to fight against the Soviets. However, Pakistan's economic situation has not been very good in recent years. In the past, it was already beyond their ability to buy forty F-16s. Now, when buying new fighter jets, they can't afford to buy them." Osama said: "I came back from Afghanistan this time to help them raise some funds."

Mhamad also considered how to communicate with the Saudi royal family again and again. Osama has a special identity and is most suitable for communication with the Saudi royal family. Now, the Saudi country is glorious about Osama and see the guys in the Saudi royal family. None of them dares to go to the front line to fight, while Osama, who also grew up in a prosperous place, dares.

Hearing Osama's words, King Fahd nodded: "Indeed, if you want to fight against the Soviet invaders, Pakistan cannot rely on those old J-6 alone. They must have advanced American fighter jets. In this way, I call on the royal family to make a donation to our Pakistani brothers, which should be able to raise tens of millions of dollars, and I will summon the head of the Riyadh Bank to provide Pakistan with an interest-free loan."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Osama was overjoyed when he heard this. He thought he was rude and persuaded His Majesty to agree. Unexpectedly, His Majesty the King agreed so easily. The Saudi royal family donated tens of millions and called on the wealthy businessmen in Riyadh to donate. Maybe he could raise 100 million US dollars. With this funding, Mr. Mhamad should be able to overcome this difficulty, right?

Those Soviet planes circled over their heads all day long. When Pakistan was equipped with advanced fighter jets, their lives would be much better.

"Also, I will contact other countries. Now our Pakistani brothers have encountered difficulties, all caused by helping Afghanistan and fighting the Soviets. Now, it is time for us to lend a strong helping hand." King Fahd continued.

Osama was always excited after coming out of the palace. The mission was completed very smoothly. I would like to discuss it with other people in the family. They should be able to get some of them together, and there are other wealthy businessmen...

"Chief, there is an emergency news." Abud, who followed him back to the service camp, said, "Come from Afghanistan."

Osama received the letter, which was made of special codes, and only those who know the rules could understand. In Afghanistan, they often convey messages through such means.

After reading this letter, Osama's face suddenly tightened.

"Chief, is something wrong?" Abud said.

"It's not a big deal," Osama said. "After completing the work here, we have to go to Iran."

Going to Iran? Abde was shocked.

Now, in addition to the Afghanistan War, on another battlefield, Iran is still fighting fiercely with Iraq. For various reasons, Arab countries are all helping Iraq, which means that they are now hostile to Iran. Going to such a country is definitely a top-secret task.

In an instant, Abud thought of the resistance forces in southern Afghanistan and Iranian border areas, which were also supported by Iran. Now, the Afghan Free Army has launched a huge battle in the north, but in the south, many guerrillas have a relationship with Iran. Should they start seeking relations with the south?

This is obviously not considered to be good intentions, and they will be regarded as the Afghan Free Army trying to recruit them. Therefore, the Iranians will also have a strong reaction, which is really not a good time.

Even so, Abud would never be afraid. Since joining the service camp, Abud has been devoted and loyal to Osama. Osama is following Panjshir's lion, His Excellency Mhamad. Everything they did is fighting for justice.

The White House, the United States.

This is the highest authority of the United States, and every decision here will affect the world's pattern.

Now, President Ronald Wilson Reagan, Vice President George Bush, Secretary of Defense Casper Weinberg, Assistant National Security Affairs Poindexter, Secretary of State George Schultz, White House Chief of Staff James Addison Baker, and CIA Director William Casey, are all sitting in front of a large round table, and they are having a meeting.

Reagan had a cigar in his mouth, and had already sucked it halfway, saying, "Pakistan has made a request to us again to buy the F-14 fighter jets. Now, should we agree to their request?"

"No, President, the F-14 fighter jet is the main air defense fighter jet of our navy. We cannot export it to Pakistan like this. Their F-16 has now flown to Islamabad. Pakistan has a small land area and has an F-16, which is enough to guard their sky." Weinberg rejected Reagan's words, no!

"Now, our economy is still declining. As far as I know, Grumman is really unable to hold on. If they don't deal with the eighty F-14 in stock as soon as possible, they might have declared bankruptcy." James said calmly.

When Reagan successfully defeated his opponent and took the position of President of the United States, he faced a mess. The U.S. economy faced double-digit inflation, with 20% bank interest rates, and nearly 8 million people were unemployed. The average hourly wage of workers fell by 5% from before 1976, while the federal government imposed an average of 67%. Treasury bonds were nearly 1 trillion yuan. Carter managed the country in a mess.

Reagan advocated tax cuts, narrowing the size of the government, reducing the control of business, and in order to end inflation, he adopted austerity in the supply of money, which caused the US economy to decline sharply in July 1981 and to the bottom in November 1982, now. In later history, the US economy began a dramatic economic recovery in 1983 after the recession between 1981 and 1982.

At least now, the U.S. economy is very poor, almost on the verge of worst, and big companies like Grumman, once they go bankrupt, will add thousands of unemployed people.

"Grumman has been going bankrupt ten years ago. Isn't it still going well now?" Weinberg said: "They are trying to put pressure on us by bankruptcy to make us let go and agree to their exports. The Pahlavi government has paid for the eighty fighter jets. Now they sell these fighter jets, which is pure profit. The president of Grumman is an insatiable businessman, full of money."

Hearing Weinberg's words, CIA Director William sneered. Now that Weinberg is trying his best to stop Grumman from exporting fighter jets, he just wants to buy those F-14 fighter jets at a bargain price. As for Grumman's life or death, he doesn't care at all.

Seeing William's sneer, Reagan asked, "Have you found anything about the CIA?"

"Recently, the Soviet army has shown signs of agglomeration towards the border," William said: "Although we analyze that the Soviet Union will not march towards Pakistan after it has pacified Afghanistan, it now seems that the Soviet Union has plans to extend its hands to the Indian Ocean, which is their fundamental purpose. Only by relying on Pakistan can they achieve their goals."

The Soviet Union was going to attack Pakistan! Hearing this, Reagan suddenly felt nervous. No matter what, the Soviet Union was the biggest enemy of the United States!

William threw some satellite pictures over and saw the Soviet army gathering towards the border area. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
