When Sarah received the news that she would first throw away 20% of the futures in her hands, Iraq also began to make a statement.

Iraq's oil minister appeared on TV and delivered a TV speech. Given the special situation recently, especially the continued rise in world oil prices, it is very inappropriate for the world's economy. Therefore, Iraq decided to increase crude oil production starting tomorrow!

Officials in charge of oil importers who have been paying attention to the world situation and speculators with keen sense of smell are all staring at Iraq's actions. They know that under the current circumstances, Iraq is the only one that can affect the current situation of world oil. As long as Iraq increases its production, oil prices will fall.

However, what they heard later made them laugh and cry.

Iraq has decided to increase crude oil production, but it only increases by 100,000 barrels per day!

One hundred thousand barrels? This little oil is like giving alms! You know, the oil-producing countries have reduced oil exports at least about five million barrels per day. What can this little oil do?

Countless people shook their heads, and oil prices may still rise. At the same time, in the futures market, oil futures sold by others began to appear. Greedy and bold speculators began to absorb these futures crazily. Although the oil prices are high enough now, there is a higher possibility!

After receiving the news that Iraq increased oil production, US President Reagan breathed a sigh of relief. This test confirmed Iraq's attitude and position. The tough Kusai is actually inseparable from the United States. He also knows how to judge the situation and knows that what he needs must be obtained from the United States. However, Iraq only increased its production by 100,000 barrels, which is too stingy. If you want Iraq to continue to increase its production, it depends on how "friendly" the United States is.

Reagan immediately ordered the British ambassador to ask for Mrs. Thatcher, hoping that the UK could let go of the arrested Iraqi man, but there was no direct evidence that it was done by others. He kept holding on, even if you just deport him. Now that the embassy has been kicked, it is still not allowed, which is a bit unauthorized, and this is a violation of international law. At the same time, he ordered Brightman to continue to seek the meeting with President Kusai, hoping that Iraq can significantly increase oil production. At the same time, he also made a decision that any American weapons that Iraq has imported can continue to be exported to Iraq.

Last time, Iraq consumed a large number of missiles. This time, importing it will also bring large profits to American arms dealers, which can be considered a killing of two birds with one stone.

It didn't take much trouble this time. Brightman met President Cusey again at the Palace of Republic.

"President Kusai, I am very grateful to your country for its change in attitude. Your country can increase oil production and help the world economy restore stable and healthy development. This is what the whole world should thank you." Brightman said.

"As the world's major oil-producing and oil-exporting countries, it is very important to maintain stability in oil prices. We also attach great importance to friendly exchanges with your country. Since your country has extended a friendly hand, we must of course express our sincerity. Iraq and the United States can develop together and achieve a win-win situation." Kusai said.

I guess no one took the words of the two just now seriously, and these words were not worth anything. They said this just to create a harmonious atmosphere for the upcoming battle without gunpowder.

"President Kusai, your country has increased its crude oil production now, but your country has only increased its crude oil by 100,000 barrels. To the world's crude oil demand gap, there are still several million barrels. This is far from meeting the world's demand. Can your country further increase its oil production?" Brightman asked.

The United States has expressed enough attitude, and Iraq has only increased its production by 100,000 barrels. The person in front of him must be seeking greater benefits. Thinking of Washington's bottom line, Brightman didn't know that he could keep it.

"Our production capacity has reached its limit. It is very difficult to increase it further. Many of our oil equipment have been used for a year, and it is time to repair it." Kusai said: "It is the increase in production of these 100,000 barrels of crude oil that mobilizes workers on the production line of the military factory, and has also led to a decline in our weapons production and can no longer meet our current needs."

"President Kusai, if this is the case, the United States can provide you with reduced weapons production. Please make every effort to increase crude oil production. We in the United States will also contribute our own strength to maintain the stable development of the world economy." Brightman said.

I knew that the other party would speak out and even put forward such a clumsy excuse, which was not trustworthy. All workers went to produce crude oil. Can they operate those equipment without training? Besides, Iraq has recruited a large number of Iranian workers in the occupied areas, and there is no problem of insufficient manpower. These are just excuses, just excuses to import weapons from the United States. It seems that the one that can tie Iraq is still the weapons of the United States. The brand sold by the United States is very loud.

"But if we produce it ourselves, the price will be very cheap, if we import it from you..."

"We can export it to Iraq at the best price." Brightman said. For the people in front of him, Brightman could have predicted the method of trying to lower the price, so he said in advance that those weapons would be cheaper than the original ones exported to Iraq. Is that okay?

"Since that's the case, then we will thank you for your kindness." Kusai said.

"What weapons do Iraq need?" Brightman took out a notebook. No matter how good his mind works, it is better to use a pen to write it down first and then ask Washington for instructions.

"I'm ready." Kusai said, taking out a folder from the cabinet behind him, which contained a thick stack of information!

The one Kusai used was a replica of the tricks he used to the Soviet ambassador last time, but it was still too shocking for Brightman who had experienced it for the first time.

Brightman felt very bad when he saw that the information was so thick. He would not list all the weapons of the United States, right? If he bought nuclear bombs from the United States, could the United States sell them? Besides, does Iraq have so much money?

"You can look at the first few pages, which are the catalogues, and the ones on them are the specific parameters we need, all referring to the standards sold by your country to Europe." Kusai said. Don't even think about making a defective product to fool you.

Fortunately, only the first few pages are. Brightman opened the first page and felt a little happy. The above are all military products sold by the United States.

Three hundred Mavericks air-to-ground missiles and four hundred Gem Road laser-guided bombs, is that too much? Fortunately, the amount behind it began to decrease, two hundred Rattlesnake missiles and one hundred Sparrow air-to-air missiles (these are to make up for the consumption. After the imported R-73 short-range missiles and Sky Flash medium-range air-to-air missiles were officially produced, Iraq will bid farewell to the problem of the inability to produce its main battle air-to-air weapons.) Fifty sets of F-20 avionics. These are all exported to Iraq by the United States. Exporting them again should not be a big problem. Although the quantity is a bit large, the larger the quantity, the more they earn.

However, when he turned the second page, he felt his head buzzing. Two Link4 military data links, two long-range early warning radars, thirty UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters, thirty ch-47 Chinook helicopters, thirty Ah-64 Apache helicopters... These are simply impossible, especially the Ah-64 helicopters. In the United States, the Apache helicopters are only equipped with a small number of key troops for trial use. They have not been officially put into service. They are provided to Iraq? Impossible.

Brightman opened the third page again and saw those big guys. He instinctively wanted to stand up. How could this be exported to Iraq!

Kid-class destroyer!

Although Brightmann is not a military strategist, he is familiar with Middle East affairs and has heard of this Kid-class destroyer. This was a first-class destroyer ordered from the United States during the Pahlavi government of Iran. It has a full load displacement of more than 9,000 tons. It is a multi-purpose warship that can deal with attacks from the air, sea and underwater at the same time. However, when the four ships were delivered in 1979, Pahlavi collapsed, and these four Iranian warships joined the US Navy.

Although Kusai controls the Iranian regime, it is a bit too much to help the Iranian regime take these things back?

Going down further makes him unable to bear to see the e-3 early warning aircraft!

Which of these things was stopped on the Iraqi production line due to insufficient workers? That was impossible for Iraq to produce! But can Brightman say this?

"President Kusai, this first page is okay, but the second and third pages are somewhat difficult. For example, this Kidd-class destroyer has already served in the US Navy. How could it be sold to you again? You must be unwilling to ask for a second-hand one, right?"

Kusai forgot that he called for this thing casually, just to prevent future generations from falling into the hands of others, and this was for bargaining.

"Okay, then let's hook this off." Kusai picked up the pen happily and drew a fork on it.

"There is also the e-3 early warning aircraft, our order has been scheduled for 88 years." Brightman decided to start talking from the back and get rid of everything behind.

Moreover, what Brightman said is the truth. As a strategic early warning aircraft, the e-3 sold too well. In addition to its own country, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, and other NATO countries, even the arrogant Gauls have ordered four. Even if Iraq wants to buy it, it has to wait four or five years later. No one can say what will happen in the past few years.

Brightman also explained the reason. It’s not that you don’t sell it to you, but that you have to queue up!

However, Kusai is definitely not a person who abides by discipline, he wants to jump into the line.
