Hafez Assad, the dentist's ability to control Syria is very strong, and Syria has indeed made great strides in his hands. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When there was a unity of opinion within the Arab League, the armies of all countries except Saudi Arabia began to temporarily withdraw from the fighting sequence.

Hafez al-Assad ordered the Syrian army, which is part of the border with Iraq, to begin disengagement from the Iraqi army. Jordan has stated that it will not authorize coalition forces to use Jordanian airspace to attack Iraq in the next 24 hours. Lebanon and Egypt have also expressed hope that coalition forces will suspend their attacks in order to bring peace to life.

It is true that China has no interest in the Middle East, but this does not mean that China is not concerned about this matter.

In fact, China's involvement in the Gulf crisis was very early, and when the possibility of war broke out in the Gulf region in October, Jordanian King Hussein met with the Chinese ambassador and hoped that China would send a high-level special envoy to work for a peaceful settlement of the Gulf issue.

After thinking about it, the Chinese side sent a fairly high-level envoy, and the foreign minister personally went to Cairo as an opinionated third party to broker a peaceful settlement.

U.S. Secretary of State Bale was at Cairo airport, waiting for the arrival of the Chinese foreign minister, and was the first person the foreign minister met for talks. The attitude of the Americans is very tough, not only demanding that Iraq withdraw its troops unconditionally, but also to continue to impose sanctions on Iraq. Clearly told the Chinese side not to obstruct any action taken by the US side against Iraq.

China's answer is that China has no plan and will not mediate, but will only work to promote a peaceful settlement of the Gulf issue within the framework of the UN Security Council.

As a disinterested party to the futures market, China's only attitude is that as long as there is a glimmer of hope, the international community should do its best to bring about a peaceful solution to the crisis.

Tying the Gulf issue with other issues in the Middle East will not do any good in resolving the Gulf issue.

In the course of its efforts to deal with the Gulf crisis, China can be said to have done its utmost benevolence.

It's just that good words are hard to persuade damned ghosts, Saddam Hussein was bent on death, and the Chinese foreign minister went to Baghdad several times, but in the end he failed to complete his mission.

Just as Mr. Foreign Minister was about to accept the reality and prepare to return home, the situation on the Gulf battlefield suddenly took a 180-degree turn.

No one expected that Iraq would win the first battle, and the coalition forces did not continue to attack for a while, as if they were stunned by this setback.

Immediately after Cairo TV broadcast details of the war in Iraq, Mubarak and the dentist's father made speeches calling for a temporary ceasefire for 24 hours.

Before Mr. Foreign Minister could sigh at the course of history, the leaders of the three major countries of the Arab League came to the door.

After listening to their requests, Mr. Foreign Minister felt that the matter was too big for me to be able to specialize. However, from his personal standpoint, he expressed his support for a peaceful settlement.

It is not without a position that China has taken a position, but it seems that a peaceful settlement is unacceptable to all parties, which is why it voted in favor of UN Resolution 678.

The 24-hour temporary ceasefire proposed by Mubarak is very beneficial to China's position of adhering to a peaceful settlement.

A temporary ceasefire of 24 hours is only a humanitarian offer. Once the 24 hours have passed, theoretically it can fight as it should be, and it does not constitute an obstruction of the US side's actions, and there is no risk to the Chinese side.

Moreover, with such a proposal from the moral high ground, to be honest, Mr. Foreign Secretary does not believe that President Bush would dare to veto this issue.

If this proposal is rejected, Bush's election next year will be lively. An unconditional temporary ceasefire was not agreed, and any accident that caused the captured soldiers of the American army could be counted on his head.

At that time, as long as Nanke finds two widows from the Gulf War at the door of the White House and cries against the iron fence, he can basically win by lying down.

Sure enough, the country still supported a peaceful solution to the Gulf issue, and quickly expressed concern about the 24-hour ceasefire proposal.

On the same day, Mr. Foreign Minister, together with Mubarak, flew to Iraq on the Jordanian king's plane to meet Saddam Hussein in person, hoping to persuade him to accept the 24-hour cease-fire proposal.

Time was urgent, and Mr. Foreign Minister was the first to make telephone contact with Saddam. With his verbal consent, the United Nations Ambassador was ordered to take action, just as his plane entered Iraqi airspace.

In a state of war, all work needs to be carried out against time. Once the coalition forces launch another offensive against Iraq, the difficulty of a 24-hour ceasefire will increase exponentially.

At the UN Security Council meeting on the 14th, the Chinese ambassador first submitted the topic and asked for an expedited discussion.

The Iraqi ambassador, who had high hopes from the US ambassador, was the first to stand up and shatter Bush's last illusion. When Saddam Hussein agreed to a 24-hour ceasefire to discuss prisoners of war, hostages, and a peaceful settlement, arguably the last bit of risk of the proposal was gone.

Only the American ambassador in the audience had a not very pleasant face, but he could only say nothing in front of the cameras that recorded everything......

Against what? Oppose Saddam's release of American GIs?

Oppose an agreement on the release of hostages from various countries?

Opposed to efforts for a peaceful settlement of the Gulf issue?

During the Cold War, the United States always picked up the moral stick to teach the Soviet Union to behave, and exploded black Soviet materials in newspapers all day long. This finally scolded the Soviet Union and began to doubt life and was half-paralyzed, what if his side showed his stuffing and made the Soviets wake up, everyone is a raccoon dog?

The Soviet Union seriously lost points in the international community, and the younger brothers who were engaged in detachment from Germany, in the final analysis, didn't it start the Prague Spring?

There is a lot of scolding, and when you are doing something, you will inevitably have to worry about whether it will fall on your head if you scold it before.

Just like Wang Sicong goes out to stay in a hotel, it is best to look at the name of the hotel first, otherwise it will be embarrassing if he accidentally scolds his own industry.

It is cool to stand on the moral high ground and scold others, but Americans have forgotten that it is easy to go up and difficult to come down. If you want to openly shame yourself at the United Nations, at least after the Soviet Union has hardened, right? Vetoing such a harmless proposal as a 24-hour ceasefire agreement is definitely a very serious loss of marks for the international image of the United States.

After the Soviet Union hardened, the Americans no longer had this concern, and they would show their true colors at the Security Council.

All kinds of accusations are endlessly appearing in the bills against Syria, and they even frame China as the murderer of the Syrian war. The performance of breaking through the lower limit can be described as too many to mention.

Fortunately, it was only a 24-hour truce, and it was not so unacceptable to Bush. No amount of prolongation of the war in Iraq will change the outcome of their indemnity.

After several rounds of discussions in the Council, none of the representatives of any country, at least on the surface, expressed opposition to a temporary truce. As a result, the proposal quickly entered the voting stage, and this kind of proposal, which stood on the moral high ground, was unexpectedly unanimously approved.

The coalition forces and the Iraqi army will achieve a temporary ceasefire from 24 o'clock on the 14th to 24 o'clock on the 15th. Saddam Hussein said he was willing to exchange US prisoners of war first.

And the United States strongly demanded that Iraq return the wreckage of the F117 fighter......

There are not many opportunities for Saddam Hussein to be able to look at the US president.

The speed at which the world situation is changing is dizzying, and who would have thought that the Gulf battlefield, which had been fought and killed one day, would die the next day.

Among them, there is no one happier than the Soviet Union. After a temporary ceasefire was reached, oil prices in the spot market began to recover gradually. After the market opened at two o'clock on the 15th, it rose directly to a high of $21, which gave the Soviet economy a little relief.

Saddam Hussein is also not stupid, and the current negotiation lineup is still a little lower. The only one that can compete with the United States is the Soviet Union on this planet for the time being.

When the Jordanian royal plane flew to Baghdad, Saddam's phone had already reached Gorbachev's desk.

In the original history, the final peace negotiation in the Gulf War was when Saddam Hussein found Gorbachev. The general secretary of the Soviet Union, who was so happy with his achievements, then put forward four peace proposals, but on the premise that Saddam Hussein agreed, the Americans abandoned them and slapped them in the face.

However, none of this has happened yet, and the Americans lost the first battle, and Gorbachev was very happy to be able to mediate the Gulf War.

If the agreement that the Americans could not reach was realized thanks to the efforts of the Soviet Union, it would also be a very dazzling and glorious deed for Gorbachev, and it would be very helpful to expand the Soviet Union's influence in the world.

Well, of course, soon this influence will be of little use.

Sure enough, at Saddam's telephone invitation, Gorbachev enthusiastically agreed. Then the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union, Boris Pankin, also urgently took a plane and flew towards Baghdad.

Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, underground command center.

Saddam's guards were ready to set off again, and Jamal was a little worried and wanted to stop talking, and finally personally held the general's coat to Saddam.

"Mr. President, do you really want to accept a peace agreement?"

Jamal took a deep breath and took a step forward and said: "We should not succumb to the pressure of the United States, Iraq has won a victory, and there should be some interests that can be retained in this war......"

"The agreement is a useless piece of paper, you don't understand, Jamal. ”

There was no look of frustration on Saddam's face, but rather a more relaxed look: "Iraq has indeed gained something, and these benefits do not need to be stipulated by the agreement, but by the guns in the hands of you and the soldiers." ”

Saddam Hussein was full of confidence that after Iraq demonstrated its strong combat effectiveness, the benefits would come to Iraq by itself. Even if it agrees to the demand for an unconditional withdrawal, Iraq can secretly enjoy debt relief and financial support from some Arab countries.

Saddam Hussein planned to strengthen military trade with China after the war ended. Even if Iraq's economy will be very tight for a while, tighten your belt and pay back the money you owe to China first.

This is not a discovery of Saddam's conscience, but it is not difficult to borrow again only if there is borrowing and repaying. He also plans to have the Chinese side provide several more projects similar to the Seven Billion Project and Saddam's Guardians, so that the level of the Iraqi army can match the prestige of neutrality in this war.

If possible, perhaps the Chinese side could be asked to train the Iraqi army? The Soviet advisers disappointed Saddam Hussein so much that they always had reservations. For example, the equipment sold to Iraq for the MiG-25 electronic warfare planes was withdrawn because the Iraqi pilots were not proficient in operation! Isn't it not a problem for suppliers to learn customer training? The arms trade of the Soviets was far less sincere than that of the Chinese side.

And the USSR had political needs for Iraq, while the Chinese only needed his small money.

In Saddam's view, China is Iraq's true friend.

As long as Iraq's military strength grows, as he said, it is never the treaties and agreements that guarantee Iraq's interests, but the combat effectiveness of the army.

With the allegiance of the Iraqi army, Saddam Hussein believed he would get more.

It's a pity that Saddam's strategy is only at the level of Chang Kaishen, and he doesn't know that his plan will probably only be wishful thinking. And the face of the USSR was simply worthless in the eyes of the Americans at this time.
