Chapter 719

He didn't stay in Iraq any longer. He did what he had to do and said what he had to say. As long as Saddam Hussein has reason, I believe he will deal with the issue of Kuwait in the way suggested by him. Iraq is obviously not one of the few countries in the world that dare to fall out with the United States and the Soviet Union at the same time. There are too many things to deal with and the time is so urgent that the next day after inspecting the farms outside Baghdad with Saddam Hussein, he took a special plane to Saudi Arabia, Iraq's neighboring country.

At this moment, the arrival of shailyusha plays a decisive role for Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, because a vote will be held on the Kuwait crisis at the UN General Assembly in a few days' time. Whether the exiled government of Kuwait can recover depends on this vote to a large extent. If the vote is passed, the pressure of the US sending troops will be much less in the Congress, The probability of sending troops will be greatly increased. However, the Soviet Union is one of the five permanent members of the United Nations and has one vote of veto. No matter how many countries Kuwait and Saudi Arabia support the government of Kuwait in exile, as long as the Soviet Union does not nod its head, everything will be in vain. Among the five permanent members of the United Nations, the United States, Britain and France all support the government of Kuwait. China will abstain most of the time, so it is very important to get the support of the Soviet Union.

Although shailyusha visited Iraq first, he is still a decisive guest for Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Shailyusha has received more courtesy in Saudi Arabia than in Iraq. Shario Shah still did not express any opinions in Saudi Arabia. When asked questions by reporters, they also like to answer and ignore vague words. In private, however, shario Shah has passed on his terms to the governments of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. He asked Saudi Arabia and Kuwait to support OPEC to cut production by 20%. At the same time, it will provide 100 billion US dollars of interest free loans to the Soviet Union.

US $100 billion is almost one sixth of Saudi Arabia's foreign exchange reserves. The Soviet Union has to borrow so much money without paying interest. Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are really gnashing their teeth. What's more, the Soviet Union asked Saudi Arabia to exert its influence and urged OPEC to reduce production by 20%. I'm afraid that Saudi Arabia and Kuwait need to bear most of the production reduction!

"It's a naked threat!" The Saudi representative complained angrily to the Emir of Kuwait in private.

"If I knew it was the result now, I'd rather get rid of Saddam's debt!" The Emir of Kuwait said helplessly that although his younger brother died at the gunpoint of Iraq, these days, the royal family of Kuwait ran into a wall everywhere in front of the United States and the Soviet government. The Americans sent the government of Kuwait in exile with mercenary troops. In addition to paying the international risk consulting company, they also paid the United States a lot of money for purchasing weapons. Together, the two sums almost exceed Iraq's foreign debt. However, the government of Kuwait can only consume the foreign exchange it has accumulated over the years. Although the foreign exchange reserves are still abundant, even the mercenary force of international risk consulting company will leave them once they run out

The representative of Saudi Arabia still places his hope on the Americans, but the United States has not given any definite information so far. However, intelligence from the Saudi ambassador to the United States shows that anti war demonstrations in the United States are intensifying. In the White House and on Capitol Hill, there were protests everywhere. Although Saddam's war lacked justice, the Americans who had been afraid of the Vietnam War wanted to experience it again.

American media can see recruitment advertisements of international risk consulting companies from time to time. At the same time, as the largest private arm in the world, American media also have a strong interest in international risk consulting companies. CNN television network, which is famous for its 24-hour rolling coverage of international news, sent a team of reporters to follow the international risk consulting company to Kuwait to report the war from a close range. The brutal fighting scenes not only stimulated CNN's ratings, but also raised the American people's fear of war. The US Congress, in front of the protesting masses, Naturally, it is impossible to easily let Bush's decision to send troops to pass the test

All parties involved in the settlement of the Kuwait issue have their own difficulties. At this special moment, the poison Xie liaosha took out made Kuwait eager to recover swallow it. The government of Kuwait is now afraid to pin its fate on the United States. They have privately contacted shailyusha, saying that if the Soviet Union can allow Iraq to withdraw its troops, Kuwait has agreed to cancel Iraq's debts and provide the Soviet Union with an interest free loan of $20 billion.

Shailyusha readily agreed to Kuwait's request, and the two sides signed a non legally binding memorandum. Saudi Arabia, on the other hand, still has illusions about the United States. There are US troops stationed in Saudi Arabia. Although the steel flood in Iraq on the border has put great pressure on Saudi Arabia, as long as the US troops are still in Saudi Arabia, they will have a certain deterrent force on Saddam Hussein.

"You may not agree to our terms, but then we will reconsider the issue of Kuwait. After all, Iraq is our ally. If Iraq can really eliminate its bad neighbors and become a leader in the Arab world, it will be very good for the Soviet Union." Xie liaosha didn't even bother to cover up, so he said the threat directly.

Shariosha's meaning is very clear. If Saudi Arabia is not willing to limit oil production, the Soviet Union will fully support Saddam Hussein to gain the hegemony position in the Middle East. Iraq will certainly like to limit production at that time, because their production capacity is limited, and many oil fields have been bombed into ruins by the Iranian fear army. Once the oil price rises, Iraq can greatly ease the pressure on its debt.

Just as seryosa said otherwise, four Tu-160 bombers landed in Syria, another Soviet ally in the Middle East. At the same time, the Soviet Black Sea Fleet left its home port and headed for the Tartus naval base in Syria.

The Saudis are terrified at the news. They don't want the war to really burn into Saudi territory. So shailyusha's plan appeared on the table of Saudi cabinet meeting again.

After receiving the news that Saudi Arabia was willing to negotiate, shagliaosha made a report to the domestic political bureau by telephone. Now all the three Gulf countries know the Soviet solution. And they all expressed their willingness to adopt peaceful means to solve the Kuwait issue.

He was happy with Saudi Arabia's decision, but then there was another hurdle, which was how the Soviet Union skillfully dealt with the issue of Kuwait at the United Nations.
