As long as the United States shows that it doesn't matter these things, Iraq will feel worry-free and start a war.

Iraq is going to war against its American allies, can the US military sit idly?

So, the US military had reason to lead the United Nations troops to attack Iraq.

This is in line with the national interests of the United States.

US Secretary of State James Addison Baker quickly recalled Kuwait and Iraq's ambassador, April Glaspi, and gave her some explanation.

After being summoned by the Secretary of State, Aprill Glaspi learned about the Secretary of State's thoughts.

When he returned to the Middle East, he began to contact the Kuwaiti royal family.

“The U.S. government hopes we continue to increase oil production?”

Kuwait King Emil Jabir looked puzzled and looked at April Glaspi, the US ambassador to Iraq and Kuwait.

Kuwait's oil production capacity has reached its limit now, and it is not a good thing to continue to increase.

At the same time, it will also make Iraq even more dissatisfied.

Iraq has been constantly accusing Kuwait of stealing their oil in the border areas, with many oil fields on the border areas at the junction of the two countries.

To increase oil production capacity, it is necessary to increase the number of oil wells.

Kuwait's source of income is not only based on oil production, but their foreign investment income has exceeded the income brought by oil.

Increasing oil production will affect Kuwait's own interests. The more oil production, the lower the oil price will definitely be.

April Glaspi nodded seriously, looking at the King of Kuwait, with language organized in his heart.

"Your Majesty, yes. Our country's economic experts have made a serious analysis based on the domestic economic situation and feel that maintaining crude oil prices at around US$20 per barrel is in line with the economic development of our country and the entire Western countries. If this price exceeds this price, it will have an impact on the development of the world economy..."

King Jabir looked at April Glaspi and was very dissatisfied.

What is the relationship between the US economy and Kuwait?

"You don't need to emphasize that we discussed this issue when Secretary of State James Addison Baker visited our country before. Both us and Saudi Arabia have reached its limit. The current international oil price is not much higher than this price. Continuing to increase oil production is not a good thing for any country..."

King Jabir knew the Americans’ intentions.

Iraq has been deliberately trying to cut Kuwait's oil production just to increase international crude oil prices.

Americans demand that oil production continue to increase, but to make oil prices lower.

Isn’t Kuwait’s further increase in oil production a reason to give Iraq a reason to take action against Kuwait?

Jabir knew that Sha Damu very well.

Kuwait's increase in oil production again will definitely cause the furious Sha Damu to stop a series of negotiations with Kuwait on oil, territory, etc., and declare war on Kuwait.

Iraq's military strength is the strongest in the Middle East. All the armed forces in Kuwait's entire country are only more than 20,000 yuan. How to fight?

April Glaspi did not give up when he saw that the other party was unwilling to increase oil production.

"Saudi has agreed to our request and decided to increase oil production. If you do not expand oil production at that time, it may affect the cooperation between us and even your country and Western countries..."

April Glaspi made the Kuwait king's anger rise suddenly.

However, the king's anger could not solve the problem.

Although Kuwait is a major oil-producing country, it needs the support of the United States and Western countries.

Most of the oil is exported to the United States and its allies...

After the US ambassador left, the king personally summoned military personnel, Minister of Defense Prince Fahd, Shamako Abdul and others.

"The Americans hope that we will continue to increase oil production. Saudi Arabia has agreed to increase production. I also asked King Fahd, and Saudi Arabia has indeed agreed to increase oil production..."

Before the king could finish his words, he was interrupted by the Minister of Defense Prince Fahd.

"Your Majesty, if you continue to increase oil production, it will make the Iraqi government even more angry... They have always hoped that we will reduce production. Once the production increases, Iraq will definitely accuse us of joining Western countries and helping Western countries suppress oil prices... Not only will they have reason to refuse to pay foreign debts, but they may even launch wars to annex us. The Americans know this, but they also ask us to increase production at the time..."

As the Minister of Defense of Kuwait, Prince Fahd is most worried about the country's invasion.

The oil price is still suppressed now, and the madman who is stupid may start a war against Kuwait at any time.

Negotiations between the two sides on oil have been ongoing, and Iraqis are becoming increasingly anxious.

Iraq not only wants to increase oil prices, but also hopes that other countries will reduce oil production, and part of the market gap will be supplied by Iraq, thereby increasing Iraq's fiscal revenue and repaying its debts as soon as possible.

Samako Abdul looked at the Minister of Defense and the King, afraid that they would have a conflict.

"Iraq does not mean to repay our debts. During the negotiations, they have been making various non-subsidized demands. Even if we reduce oil production and increase oil prices, the funds they receive are difficult to repay. Sha Damu believes that he is helping the entire Arab world resist Khomeini and needs all countries to help them share the costs..."

The words of Samako Abdul silenced the prince and the king.

Iraq has been spending money on military equipment, and its force is getting stronger and stronger.

Countries such as Kuwait are concerned about Iraq's expanding military power.

The Iraqis turned out to be fighting against the Persians, but other countries had no objection to their expansion of military power.

Countries even contributed money and efforts to help Iraq purchase weapons and equipment.

The more intense Iraq fights with the Persians, the higher the international oil price, and all countries can get benefits.

The Iraqi-Iraq War has ended, and Iraq is still desperately expanding its armed forces.

Iraq even asked governments to share the costs of the Iran-Iraq war, with the reason that everyone profited from the war, and Iraq also helped the Arab world to resist Khomeini's export of revolution...

As Iraq's neighbor and the third largest oil producer in the Gulf, Kuwait is naturally more worried about Iraq's invasion.

Once Kuwait is merged, Iraq will become the largest oil-producing country in the Middle East, controlling more than 40% of the oil production in the entire region.

With such a large amount of oil production, Iraq will have a greater say in oil prices.

Jabir was also helpless. As the king, he was naturally worried that Iraq would attack countries like Kuwait that do not have much military strength.

But the United States also made demands that it would be even more difficult for Kuwait to not meet the requirements of the Americans.

Either choose to cooperate with Iraq to reduce oil production and increase oil prices; or choose to cooperate with Americans to increase oil production and make oil prices lower.

How to choose between the two can be made clearly with just a comparison.

Cooperation with Iraq is not in Kuwait's interest.

Iraq is also a competitor of Kuwait Oil, not to mention that Iraq has always been very dissatisfied with Kuwait and launched an invasion.

Soon, after communicating with the Saudi royal family, Kuwait and the Saudi government announced the increase in oil production again.

When Sha Damu heard the news, he was furious and quickly summoned his subordinates to a meeting.

"The damn Kuwaits must be taught a lesson that they not only refuse to reduce oil production, but instead increase oil production to suppress oil prices..."

Sha Damu told his subordinates in a furious manner.

In his opinion, Kuwait was originally part of Iraq, negotiations were negotiated, but in order to avoid war, Iraq also did not complete its war preparations.

"Kuwait must be taught a lesson. During the negotiations, they have been making excessive demands, and they have not made any concessions in reducing oil production, and are expanding oil production in the border areas and stealing our country's oil resources..."

Aziz, who was in charge of the negotiations, was like fanning the flames.

Kazim looked at the president and understood what he meant.

Now we are going to take action against Kuwait.

"His Excellency the President, starting a war does not necessarily achieve our goals. War will affect oil production. After destroying oil fields, it will need to be rebuilt...Mobilize an army on the border and put pressure on Kuwait... In this way, the negotiations will be much easier. If they do not agree, consider it..."

Everyone knows that once Kuwait disagrees with their conditions, it will directly crush Kuwait into Kuwait, turning Kuwait into Iraq's 19th province.

Kuwait was originally part of Iraq's Basra Province, and Kuwait was founded in 1961.

Although in the past few decades, Saddam has been trying to incorporate Kuwait into Iraq after he came to power.

If there is no war, I will worry about destroying the oil field. Not only will it not be able to obtain oil, but it also requires a large amount of money to rebuild the oil field.

"President, we should probably ask about the attitudes of the United States and the Soviet Union."

Someone has made an opinion.

They do not object to the president's war against Kuwait.

Iraq mobilizes troops to display the border, which will cause regional tensions.

The Soviets were eager for the situation in the Gulf region to be as tense as possible, and now they rely on selling oil to support the economy.

Logically, Americans do not want conflicts in the Gulf region.

The soaring rise in international oil prices will cause a heavy blow to the slow-developing U.S. and Western economies.

Once Iraq takes action against Kuwait, the Soviet Union may support Iraq, and the United States will definitely stand opposite Iraq.

Even the United States may send troops in person.

"Now we will not start a war. We will only teach Kuwait a small lesson, without notifying the United States and the Soviet Union. Unless the Kuwait government does not know how to polite and does not meet our requirements, if we continue to commit suicide, we will kill them..."

The president does not believe that their actions against Kuwait need to be approved by the United States and the Soviet Union.

Sha Damu also had some concerns. If the United States really made excuses to join the war, it would not be a good thing for Iraq.

We need to worry about taking action against Kuwait. Now it’s just that the troops placed on the border putting pressure on the Kuwaits, allowing them to weigh the consequences and make negotiations easier.

"Last year, the Berlin Wall was overthrown and East Germany and West Germany were unified. We and Kuwait were in this situation. It was the damn British who created a border line for us that should not exist for their interests... Kuwait is part of us..."

The president has a good reason.

"Carry an armoured force to the border and let Kuwait know the consequences of angering us."
