Seven hundred and fortieth chapters test Iraq's attitude
Now, what makes Americans most troublesome is not the Soviet Union, but Iraq, because Iraq seems to be soft and hard, and it is a stubborn.
When the policy toward Iraq was formulated, the United States had realized that Iraq was developing too fast, with sufficient oil underground and powerful armed forces, and if weapons could be produced by themselves, Iraq would gradually become stronger. If such a country is unwilling to be controlled by the United States, it would be a big potential threat.
At the beginning, for the purpose of confronting Iran, the United States needed to support Iraq's armed forces and let them fight against the anti-US Iranian regime, preferably to make both sides weaker. The United States definitely does not want to have a role in the Middle East that is more difficult than Iran to deal with after fighting Iran. Therefore, the United States began to suppress Iraq.
The United States has become very cautious when Iraq restores its production of F-20 fighter jets, especially to continue to output advanced avionics equipment. The expanding scale of Iraq's modern aircraft fleet will form a more obvious air superiority for Israel. In the future, even if Iraq does not use a large number of ballistic missiles to destroy Israel's air force, it can suppress the Israeli air force in face-to-face air confrontation. The United States will definitely not want to see such a thing.
However, due to the current situation, this method may not be used, because they need Iraq's cooperation and Iraq needs to increase oil production!
"We have only two ways to deal with Iraq now," Bush analyzed: "First, we need to put more pressure on Iraq to allow Iraq to agree to increase crude oil production. Second, we continue to export weapons to Iraq to meet Iraq's needs in exchange for Iraq's oil production."
He then analyzed: "But the first method may not work. In the previous few confrontations with Israel, we have a deeper understanding of Kusai. He is a person who is absolutely not a tough person. If we put pressure on him, it may have a counterproductive effect. He will announce production cuts and make the world oil prices even higher. We planned an action to replace him and let people under our control take the stage. But it did not work. In recent times, Kusai's position will be very stable. We use our force to deter it, so it will not happen.
Too much effect, and we don’t have enough reason. Iraq has not cut production in normal production. On the contrary, if we use force, it will lead to new tensions in the Middle East and oil prices will rise even higher. The second type is that we open restrictions to Iraq and export more weapons, and we are afraid that it will continue to encourage Iraq’s national defense. If we agree, God doesn’t know what weapons we will like. If he wants to buy an aircraft carrier, will we export them to him? And maybe he will also want an aircraft carrier shipyard."
Bush finished speaking, but as he didn't say it, these two methods were not suitable, no matter which one they chose.
In the Middle East, the world covered with black gold. If it weren’t for the Soviet Union, the United States would never be stingy with the use of force and snatched it from there. The United States needs to station troops there to finally solve these problems.
"Can we have to go to Iraq? Can we find other oil-producing countries?" Reagan asked.
"On the top countries, Iraq is the only one. Oh, and there is another one, the Soviet Union." said the Minister of Energy.
Soviet Union? What a joke, can the United States influence the Soviet Union? Of course, the United States also knows that the Soviet Union has been actively mining crude oil and exporting it in exchange for valuable funds to support the building in their country. The Soviet Union's production capacity is already at its limit.
"Perhaps, we should rethink our strategic arrangements for the Middle East. If we can pull Iraq back to our American tank, it will be of great benefit to us. Iraq's huge imports of weapons will bring rich profits to our military-industrial enterprises. Iraq has abundant oil reserves. As long as the export volume increases, the world's oil prices will definitely drop. For us, for the world economy, it will be beneficial..."
Before George could speak, he was interrupted coldly by Defense Minister Weinberg: "George, wake up. Iraq's performance these times is more inclined toward the Soviet Union, or in other words, its defense policy is gravity, how can your eyes be so short-sighted!"
"I have studied the conflicts between us these times. The main problem is Israel. Otherwise, our relationship with Iraq would not have developed so rigidly. Anyway, if we do not export weapons, the French would also squeeze in. There are other European countries, staring at the Iraqi weapon market. It is said that Iraq has frequent contact with Sweden and signed large arms sales orders. Why do we lose the profits earned by our own military enterprises? The F-20 avionics system and other export projects are not our most advanced technology. They are originally for export use. We continue to export. If there is really a market of 400 aircraft, how much profit can we bring to our military enterprises? How much tax can we increase? If we don't export, it will only be cheaper for the French. Moreover, we can conduct a test this time. After excluding the Israeli factor, will Iraq's position be inclined to us?" George said.
Test? This sentence touched President Reagan. In the past, the cooperation between the two sides was once very pleasant. Now, can the United States extend olive green to Iraq make Iraq the same position as Saudi Arabia and Kuwait?
"Immediately deliver twenty sets of avionics that they have paid for, as well as some other weapon systems that we temporarily detained, and deliver them to Iraq as quickly as possible with Air Force transport aircraft." President Reagan said.
The attitude changes so quickly that everyone is puzzled. Is it worth the president to do this?
"President, are we going to study it?" Bush asked.
"This time, it's just a test. We need to see what the Iraqi government's attitude towards us is, how Iraq viewes our relationship with us, and whether we have the possibility of continuing to deepen our relationship with each other." President Reagan said.
"However, this will cause serious dissatisfaction among the Jewish forces, especially the Jewish assistant under your command, may resign again," Bush said.
"Now, Israel needs a large number of military aid from us. We have not paid the funds for dozens of fighter jets in the early stage. We are still training new pilots for free. Will they be dissatisfied?" President Reagan said: "What we need to do is in the interests of our United States. If the oil price rises to more than seventy dollars, our country's economy will have a serious crisis. If our proactive show of goodwill can make Iraq lean towards us in terms of policy, it will be more conducive to the development of our United States."
So what if Israel is dissatisfied? If Israel occupied Iraq and produced a lot of oil, would the United States still be so troublesome now? The United States is still an American, not a Jewish family. The first thing he needs to consider is how to overcome this crisis.
This time, the United States needs Iraq. In order to achieve its goal, the United States decided to extend a friendly hand to Iraq to test Iraq's attitude.
Those weapons were originally paid by Iraq, but the Americans will not suffer any losses if they deliver them now.
East, Hong Kong.
Sarah slept in a cozy dress on an office bench. Now, the battle to speculate on oil futures has reached its final stage. They bought it from twenty-nine dollars. Now, the price has risen to sixty-five dollars, which has more than doubled. You should know that their principal is 20 billion US dollars. After borrowing, mortgage and other channels, the operation is 200 billion US dollars. If they have more than doubled, they can earn 200 billion US dollars. This time, the income will be higher in the middle-class countries in the year.
That Kusai really has a brain in this regard. How did he come up with it? He manipulated the oil market by himself and then made a lot of profits from it.
However, we cannot relax now, because all the funds are still on the books, and they need to withdraw funds from the futures market to realize their own profits.
The grasp of this time is very important.
And this specific time is controlled by Kusai.
And Kusai was waiting for news from the United States. He knew that if he sent Brightman away, the Americans would definitely take action. If the Americans wanted to put pressure on themselves, then wait for the oil price to break through the 100 dollar mark. Kuwait was also prepared. Their oil field facilities were intact. However, it is said that their oil workers who earn hundreds or even thousands of dollars every day began to think that their wages were low, and hoped that the government would raise their wages and buy better villas.
If Americans are tactful, then the price of oil will rise to up to eighty dollars and it will drop. Moreover, this decline will make Americans quite happy, so let Mrs. Thatcher run to Reagan and cry.
The result was very happy for Kusai. On the evening of that day, he received news that the United States had specially used two Hercules transport aircraft to urgently send twenty sets of F-20 fighter aircraft avionics equipment to Iraq, forty sets of imported materials for F404 engines, and thirty mockingbird anti-radiation missiles. All weapons and equipment that had been paid by Iraq, including thirty mockingbird anti-radiation missiles, will be transported here.
Since Americans are so proud of their face, I have to express it myself.
