Riyadh, Saudi capital.

The attack on the Kuwait tanker shocked King Fahd. As a major country in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia has played an increasingly important role in peace talks with Israel in Egypt. In the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, Saudi Arabia has a great say in coordinating the relations between various oil-producing countries.

Oil is the lifeline of these countries. Although Saudi Arabia faces the sea, the Persian Gulf to the east, the Red Sea to the west, there are large oil fields on the coast of the Red Sea to the west, and there are many along the Persian Gulf to the east, so Saudi Arabia's dependence on the Persian Gulf is also very strong. Now that Iran has hit Kuwait's oil tankers, it is equivalent to blocking the Strait of Hormuz, which is absolutely intolerable to Iran.

Saudi Arabia must find a way to resolve the dispute! After the Kuwait oil tanker attacked, the oil tankers at these Saudi ports also stopped sailing.

Some of these oil tankers are from Saudi Arabia, and some from other countries in the world. The crew members on the oil tankers are floating on the sea all year round and are prepared to experience certain risks, such as strong winds, huge waves, and even pirates. However, they have never experienced the taste of being attacked by anti-ship missiles, so the crew members stayed in the port very consciously and no one dared to sail.

Because the attack on Kuwait's oil tanker caused signs of a recurrence of the oil crisis in the world, prices began to rise all the way in the crude oil futures market.

"His Majesty the King, Prince Fahd of Kuwait asked for a visit." At this time, the secret outside said.

Prince Fahd arrived so soon? The king immediately stood up and went to greet him.

The relationship between the two countries is very friendly, and their personal relationship is also very good. Now Prince Fahd is coming in a hurry to deal with the Iranian attack on the oil tanker. A silkworm missile from Iran has touched the hearts of countries along the Persian Gulf that need to be transported by sea to export oil.

"Your Majesty the King, you already know about this incident when an oil tanker in our country was attacked and sunk?" Prince Fahd, who had just got off the plane and arrived at the palace, had no time to greet each other's great friendship. He got to the point.

"Yes, we are very concerned about this matter. It is related to our economic lifeline. No one expected that the Iranians really dared to do this. This time they were too much!" said the king.

"Before there is no solution to deal with it, our ships dare not pass through the strait easily. We must resolve this matter as soon as possible, otherwise, within a week, the people of Kuwait will be out of food." The prince said.

Oil tankers can temporarily stop leaving the port. Although they will suffer certain economic losses, Kuwait has huge foreign exchange support, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being. However, if the ship transporting goods cannot enter, Kuwait will not be able to hold on.

"So do you have a solution?" asked the king.

"We did not participate directly in the war between Iraq and Iran. Now Iran has done this kind of thing and blatantly attacking our tankers is a violation of international law. If Iran makes a statement and admits that this is a mistaken attack, it would be fine. But now, Iran is actually warning us. Any country that supports Iraq will be within the scope of their attack before changing its attitude towards Iraq." Prince Fahd said: "They are too arrogant. God is above. How can they drive out such things under the guidance of the great prophet! We have no choice!"

"You mean, we are going to declare war on Iran?" The king was a little surprised, because it was very unwise to do so. If Iraq was defeated and Iran wanted to continue to export revolutions to other countries, it was necessary for them to declare war on Iran. Now, Iran has just attacked ships at sea and declared war on Iran in this way, turning the Iran-Iran-Iran war into a war in the entire Middle East. There is no need for this. This is the last resort that Iran took due to the failure of the land war. There is no need to fight against Iran in this way.

The prince then realized that he had not expressed it clearly and continued: "It is not a declaration of war, but we need to send ships ourselves to protect our ships from attacks."

Sending ships to protect their own ships is completely self-defense and is also very necessary to show their attitude. The king agrees with this.

"We need to unite these countries along the Persian Gulf coast to form an escort fleet, pass through the Strait of Hormuz, and under our protection, if the Iranians dare to attack us, we will fight back firmly!" said Prince Fahd.

Escort is not just about escorts. If the Iranians dare to be detrimental to them, then they are not afraid of bayonets becoming popular.

The king has always been considering sending ships to escort this point. However, although Saudi Arabia is a major country, with the largest land area in the Middle East, the largest oil reserves in the Middle East, and the best income in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia's military strength is not strong at all.

The one who can make a move is the newly imported Medina-class frigates from France that have just been put into service. However, these warships have just entered service and the operation level of naval personnel is probably not skilled enough. The old-fashioned Bader class does not have air-to-air missiles, and it is probably only possible to die when dealing with anti-ship missiles.

However, the king also knew that as a great power, in this case, Saudi Arabia must set an example and support the surrounding brothers Arab countries. Their maritime transportation channels must not be interrupted by the Iranian conspiracy. They must do something.

"Okay, I agree that our Navy will send two fleets represented by frigates to protect the safety of our fleet. At the same time, we will contact Bahrain, Qatar and other countries to come up with a definite escort plan. We want to smash Khomeini's conspiracy!" said the king.

After the oil tanker in Kuwait was attacked by Iran, the Gulf countries expressed strong opposition. Under the leadership of Saudi Arabia, they established a "peninsula defense force" to act as a "popular police" in the Gulf region.

Under the auspices of the Minister of Defense and Aviation, Prince Sultanben Abdulaziz, Saudi Arabia sent a Medina-class frigate, Aibha, a Badir-class Badir, and several missile boats to serve as the main force of escort.

Although it has been determined that the strategy of counterattack can be given when the escort formation is attacked, the king did not think about dispatching air force to investigate the Iranian strait and actively destroying their missile launching devices, because that would lead to the expansion of war. Although it is separated by the strait, the Iranians now must not think from a conventional perspective. Once Saudi fighter jets bombard the Iranian coast, no one dares to say what kind of reaction the Iranians, who have been incited to lose their minds in fanaticism, will have a reaction.

As soon as he discussed with Prince Fahd, he came to report: "His Majesty the King, the Ambassador of Iraq is here."

The king glanced at Prince Fahd, nodded at each other, and the king said, "Please come in."

The Iraqi ambassador walked in and saw Prince Fahd from Kuwait next to him. He was very surprised and said, "Prince Fahd, I am very happy to see you here. Regarding your oil tanker sank when it encountered an attack from Iran. On behalf of Iraq, I would like to express my most sincere sympathy to your country. The Iranians are too much! At the same time, in order to deal with this crisis, we have proposed a plan, hoping to protect the safety of our shipping."

When negotiating to escort their own ships, both of them intentionally missed Iraq, not because they were intimidated by supporting Iraq, but because they had different roles. Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain were not belligerents. If they were mixed with Iraq, then the Iranians would attack their own merchant ships, then there would be even more reason.

When the Iraqi ambassador said they had a solution, the two were a little curious and asked, "What solution?"

"The attacks of the Iranians mainly use a silkworm anti-ship missile. This missile has a range of 100 kilometers. The entire Strait of Hormuz, even within the bay, is within their range of 100 kilometers near the Iranian coastline. This missile flies at a low altitude and is fast, and it is difficult for us to intercept it. However, the electronic equipment of this missile is very backward and is easily disturbed. Therefore, our country is studying an interference device, which is installed on an escort ship. When the formation is moved, the interference device will be turned on and the missile will fail." The ambassador said.

Electronic interference? Prince Fahd has heard of this. Kusai’s men are very good at doing this. In the battle in the Beca Valley, their electromagnetic interference played a great role. This method is very feasible!

"What kind of escort ship do you plan to install?" asked the king.

"It's installed on our missile boat." The ambassador said: "The modification is about to begin, and it is expected to be completed in three days."

Both of them knew that the Iraqi navy, the largest missile boat, probably had a displacement of about 100 tons. It really tests their patience by making such a little guy travel all the way to the Strait of Hormuz.

"The missile boat in Iraq is too small. It would be great if it could be loaded on our frigate." The king said, "I wonder what Kusai means?"

The king's words have two meanings. If this thing really works, then the solution to protecting the tanker with one's headache is perfect. This kind of interference device can be used to interfere. If it is not effective, then air defense missiles will be launched. At the same time, it will also avoid letting Iraqi Navy ships participate in escort, which will avoid many disputes.

"I will report to Your Excellency Kusai, but there should be no problem. Thank you for your kindness first." The ambassador said. (To be continued...)
