Chapter 714

The news of the establishment of the Central Bank of Eastern Europe has only been hot for a week, and it was immediately taken away by another amazing news. Thousands of miles away in the Persian Gulf, Kuwait, a small middle east country guarding Iraq's access to the sea, broke down negotiations with neighboring Iraq on the oil issue, thus causing a fatal disaster. Because of the huge debts owed by the Iraq Iraq war, Iraq has almost become the poorest country in the Middle East. The arms debt owed to the United States and the Soviet Union alone is as high as US $40 billion. Now the Soviet government is also facing serious economic problems. Controlling the Middle East is no longer the strategic choice of the Soviet government, so pressing debts from Iraq has become the helpless choice of the Soviet government.

Faced with a huge debt of 70 billion yuan, the Iraqi government, which has spent all of its foreign exchange reserves, has only two options. One is to sell Iraq's oil fields to foreign capitalists in exchange for the support of foreign capital, and the other is to default. Naturally, Saddam refused to hand over domestic oil resources to those greedy foreign capitalists, so he chose to default. However, he did not dare to default to superpowers such as the United States and the Soviet Union. In the final analysis, the persimmon still had to choose a soft squeeze. Naturally, Kuwait, a small country blocking Iraq's access to the sea, was his best choice.

Kuwait is one of the few rich countries in the world. Although its territory is small, its oil reserves are amazing, its exploitation costs are low, and its oil quality is still high. The most important thing is that Kuwait's foreign exchange reserves are as high as 100 billion US dollars. In addition, there are tens of billion US dollars of shares in Western heavy industry, not to mention the huge foreign exchange reserves, It is more than enough to repay the US and the Soviet Union's arms debt.

Iraq's evil intention was to attack without warning. It took only one day for Iraq to occupy the whole territory of Kuwait. Prince Fahd, the younger brother of the Emir of Kuwait, was seriously injured and died in the battle. Five other members of the royal family died in the battle. The Emir himself led some of the royal family members to flee to Saudi Arabia. Kuwait, a small and weak country, has little power to fight back in front of the Iraqi army. Relying on one's own strength in an attempt to restore the country is just wishful thinking. Let alone small Kuwait, even Saudi Arabia, the overlord of the Middle East, is not an opponent to the Iraqi army.

A negotiation on foreign debt has led to a war. I'm afraid that the government of Kuwait is now in deep regret. At present, both the Kuwait government and the Saudi government are afraid that the Iraqi army will continue to go south and invade Saudi territory. For these rich Arab countries, the only hope at present is the United States. Only when the United States sends troops can Kuwait recover.

Want the United States to send troops? How easy is it? How many Americans died in the Vietnam War in those years? Besides, how many years have passed since the Vietnam War? The people of the United States have not forgotten the grand occasion of anti war. Kuwait's ambassador to the United States was soon received by President Bush. They communicated with each other about Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. The United States promised to help Kuwait recover, but whether to send troops still needs to be approved by Congress. The ambassador of Kuwait himself is a member of the royal family. Hearing such a perfunctory reply from the United States, he felt sad.

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Xie liaosha, but Xie liaosha was willing to take such a step in it. He knew that the United States would choose to send troops in the end, and that this war would not sink the U.S. troops as much as the Vietnam War. From the experience of the last life, the first Gulf War was not difficult at all. However, the Americans have not yet realized that they are powerful. They do not know that they can completely rely on the air force to lead the war. Because before the first Gulf War, most of the world's military experts did not realize that the war could be decided by air power.

The United States is not willing to send troops, and its biggest concern is the fear that ground operations will cause large-scale American casualties. The international risk consulting company established a few years ago has been at a loss because it has no business. If the international risk consulting company replaces the U.S. military to help Kuwait win the war of restoration, then the international risk consulting company will definitely become the largest security company in the world. In addition, the international risk consulting company can not only get the support of the United States, obtain a large number of defense contracts from the United States government and the Kuwait government, but also obtain advanced weapons from the United States. The most important thing is that Kuwait is located in the core of the Persian Gulf, and its position is too important. Once the international risk consulting company can recover Kuwait in the ground war, Then it is no longer an extravagance to have a garrison in Kuwait under the command of shailyusha. The Persian Gulf is an important route for oil transportation. It is absolutely a key step to strengthen the military presence of Gorky group here. More importantly, the United States will definitely believe that international risk consulting companies are protecting the interests of the United States.

After figuring out these key issues, shagliaosha became interested in the royal family of Kuwait. How can we pass this news on to the president of the United States? Xie liaosha thinks of EVA. Although EVA is a businessman, as the world's richest man and the contractor of the Pentagon's global satellite communication service, it won't be a big problem to introduce an international risk consulting company to the military. Moreover, Yuri and Ivankov, the bosses of the international risk consulting company, are both diplomats of the Vatican and senior advisers of the new Polish government. Their backgrounds are impeccable. Americans will never know that the black hand behind them is actually a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

Xie liaosha soon sent his plan to Yuri, who is in Poland, and informed EVA to arrange it. Almost as soon as Yuri put down the phone, he took the Bank of Columbia's business plane to Washington. Ivankov, who is in the headquarters of Juarez international risk consulting company, also let his subordinates work out the bidding plan overnight. Yuri's action is very fast. He spent 10 hours flying back to Washington from Warsaw. As soon as he got off the plane, he met Ivankov who had been waiting here for a long time.

EVA's position in the business world has brought her unparalleled influence, which is still effective even in the political circles in Washington. Ivankov and Yuri soon received a reply from the Pentagon. They are very interested in the proposal of the international risk consulting company to contract the ground war in Kuwait, and the Kuwait side has reservations about it. However, the ambassador of Kuwait has received a reply from the Emir and is willing to contact the international risk consulting company on the cooperation.

Early the next morning, Yuri and Ivankov were introduced by EVA to the Pentagon in Arlington County, where they met the person in charge. EVA tells Xie liaosha about the progress of the matter. Xie liaosha is not worried about whether the international risk consulting company can get the contract, because the scheme he proposed is absolutely the most suitable one at present. The United States only needs air strikes, and the ground operations are left to the international risk consulting company. Unless there is a plane crash, there will be no casualties in the United States. As for the cost of war, The rich Kuwait can afford the money. At that time, the international risk consulting company will definitely be able to give a shot in the arm, but shariosha will not save money for Kuwait.

However, it's better to support Glencore's mark Ritchie. Maybe Iraq will become Glencore's second largest customer after Iran.
