The conversation between Kusai and Hou Yefeng is central to the meaning of the fact that Iraq attaches great importance to friendly relations with China, and even goes up to a strategic nature. Iraq can inject large amounts of funds into China to save China's projects that are very short of funds. Iraq is also willing to negotiate to provide loans to China for China's economic development. However, the premise is that China must stop exporting weapons to Iran. Iraq has given enough benefits so that China can make a profit even if it does not export weapons to Iran.

The bargaining chips are already large enough, and Kusai is fully confident and China will agree.

"Your Excellency Kusai, I fully understand your kindness. Our country attaches great importance to your interactions with your country. Our government wants to invite You You, Kusai, to pay a friendly visit to our country within a few months. I will convey what you said to our government." Hou Yefeng said very sincerely.

"I am also very much looking forward to your government making the right choice. We in Iraq are definitely your government's best friends. We can even join forces to oppose the most powerful country in the world at a certain period." Kusai said.

Hou Yefeng didn't understand Kusai's words. What exactly did he mean? Is he opposed the Soviet Union or the United States?

At this moment, the phone on Kusai's table rang.

Kusai picked up the phone and heard Tarik's voice coming from inside: "His Excellency Kusai, something big happened in the Strait of Hormuz. Just an hour ago, Iran launched a missile and hit an oil tanker in Kuwait."

As Lord Kusai arrived in Baghdad, Tarik also followed him to Baghdad. Moreover, Tarik had already taken charge of diplomatic affairs, while Shikmat replaced Sharabi's position and became the Minister of Oil.

Hou Yefeng saw that Lord Kusai picked up the phone. After hearing this, his face changed, thinking that something was wrong on the front line battlefield.

It seems that it is time for you to leave and cannot affect the other person's work.

After seeing Kusai put down the phone, Hou Yefeng said, "His Excellency Kusai, it seems that I should say goodbye."

Looking at the person in front of you, Kusai said, "Yes, it's time for you to leave. After you go back to the embassy, ​​you must quickly report my suggestions to your government."

When I heard this, Hou Yefeng felt very uncomfortable. Didn’t this drive me away? He didn’t speak so directly?

Unexpectedly, what he heard next completely moved him.

"I just received a report that Iran launched a C601 missile imported from your country in the Strait of Hormuz. It hit a tanker in Kuwait. Now the Persian Gulf is about to be lively. Khomeini really doesn't save your government worry!"

Iran launched anti-ship missiles imported by China and hit Kuwait's oil tanker. This news made Hou Yefeng feel very shocked. China's missiles sold to Iran are definitely not for him to attack Kuwait. How can he use them on the battlefield between Iran and Iran? That's okay, but fighting Kuwait will cause huge international storms, and even China will be pushed to the forefront!

………

Kuwait.

In terms of land area, Kuwait only has more than 10,000 square kilometers and in terms of population, it has only three million people. This is just a small country in the Middle East.

However, in terms of wealth, Kuwait is definitely ranked among the top in the Middle East and even the entire world. Under the land of Kuwait, it is all black gold.

Everything in Kuwait depends on maritime transportation lines, exporting oil, and importing various daily necessities. The people of Kuwait have long been accustomed to all of this.

But now, the situation has changed because the Kuwait tanker was sunk by an anti-ship missile launched from the shore of Iran just as it was passing through the Strait of Hormuz!

The Emir of Kuwait was shocked. This was unique and it was not a good start!

After receiving the news in the Dasman Palace, the senior leaders of Kuwait, who had arrived urgently, began to respond urgently.

"We have sent a helicopter from the Coast Guard to prepare to take back the crew of the tanker." Defense Minister Sheikh said: "This time Iran dares to attack our tanker with missiles. This is a naked threat. We must seek justice from Iran!"

"Yes, this is a blatant contempt for international law, a provocation of the Persians to our entire Arab world, and their despicable way of attacking our civilian ships, we must retaliate against Iran!" said the Minister of Information Mubarak.

Everyone was so angry that they gritted their teeth and were furious. A few days ago, they also heard about Iran's threats to attack the oil tanker, but they did not expect that the Iranians would dare to do this!

The Iranians may attack Iraqi oil tankers, which is bold enough. They are civilian ships. However, I didn’t expect that the first attack by the Iranians was from Kuwait. This was not just bold, but crazy.

However, what makes Kuwait feel sad is that Kuwait really can't find any effective action besides protesting.

Because although Kuwait is a wealthy country, its military strength is very weak.

The total strength of Kuwait is only more than 10,000, including more than 1,000 foreign mercenaries. It is not easy to make the Kuwaits lying in the golden house muster up the courage to fight. However, the Kuwait navy has only a few missile boats and landing crafts. How can such a navy retaliate against Iran? Although the Kuwait air force has dozens of fighter jets, it lacks training on ground-to-sea attacks. Kuwait never realized that it has such huge wealth and only such weak military strength, which is easy to be coveted by foreign forces.

Prince Fahd said: "Everyone, what we need most at the moment is to come up with a practical solution. It is not possible for us to protest just by just protesting. If we want to retaliate, how should we retaliate? Will our revenge lead to more turbulence in the situation?"

"We should not go to war with Iran. Moreover, it is not in our interest to go to war with Iran for a civilian ship to be attacked. Our military strength is relatively weak. If the attack war escalates, our economy will be hit hard." Crown Prince Saad said.

This is a fact that everyone has to face. As these very visionary leaders, they have seen that if they retaliate against Iran, then for the country of Iran, it will definitely attract their crazy counterattack. Once the marine transportation line in Kuwait is broken, Kuwait will be in crisis.

"What we need to consider now is not just how to deal with the problem of our tanker being attacked by Iran, but more importantly, how to avoid similar things happening again in the future." Emil finally spoke: "We must come up with a practical way. For Iran, our protest is absolutely useless."

Protect important marine transportation lines!

"Perhaps we can ask the U.S. Navy for escort." Speaker Wenhamed Sadun said.

Since we are unable to protect the safety of cargo ships, we need to have a force to protect the safety of cargo ships. Looking at the whole world, the US Navy is probably the most powerful. Moreover, Kuwait has a very good relationship with the United States and has a lot to do with the United States. A considerable part of Kuwait's oil exports are all from the Americas. Therefore, if you ask the US Navy to help, they will definitely agree.

"No, we cannot easily ask the US Navy for escort." At this time, Fahd firmly opposed.

"Although we are pro-American, we also have our own national defense strategy. This is our Arab world. The United States has long wanted to get involved in our place. If we ask the US Navy to escort, then the United States has sufficient reasons to enter our world. Once the American forces enter, it will be unfavorable for our entire Arab world. Moreover, Khomeini is firmly opposed to the United States, and when we put the American forces in it, it will cause Khomeini to retaliate more fiercely. What if he declares war on us? They only need to fire a few of the same missiles at our Kuwait to paralyze our economy."

It will definitely have a great impact to let Americans intervene here. You must know that the United States has strongly supported Israel. In the entire Arab world, the voices against the United States are also very strong. Inviting Americans to help them will make Kuwait stand at the forefront.

"We Arab world problems are handled by us Arabs themselves," Fahd said. "I suggest that we work with Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Oman, and Qatar to form a 'peninsula defense force. We organize an escort fleet to defend the safety of our own ships."

Kuwait's own country's naval strength is not strong enough, but Iran has taken counter-attacks. This action is not only a threat to Kuwait's maritime line, but also a threat to other countries along the Persian Gulf coast. Therefore, these countries can jointly organize to deal with Iran!

When Fahd made this opinion, he deliberately missed the last country: Iraq. In addition to these countries, Iraq also relies on this sea transport channel. However, Iraq is a country that is fighting with Iran. If this organization even brings Iraq in, then Iran will become even more crazy.

Because of the weak military strength, they thought about dealing with this incident, but also considered the consequences and did not take extreme actions to avoid stimulating Iran!

"For the incident of Iran's brazen attack on our oil tanker, first, we must express strong condemn Iran through diplomatic means. Second, we must join hands with other Gulf countries to discuss and establish an escort organization to protect the security of our ships. Third, we must continue to support the just war in Iraq and completely destroy Khomeini's regime. Fourth, we must also actively observe the opinions of the United States. At the most forced moment, we can also ask the US navy to escort our ships." Emil said.
