Khafji was in an armed conflict, with fewer than 50 dead on both sides, but in the blink of an eye, it shook the world. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, the inner emotions of those who won the battle and those who lost the battle are completely opposite to what they showed.

Saddam Hussein immediately sent a regiment to Khafji, turning this small Saudi town into a bridgehead in Iraq. Then, in the name of honoring the heroes of the battle, Rasile was transferred back to Baghdad, and finally threw him an idle post in the Ministry of Defense, and he was promoted and secretly surrendered.

On the other hand.

However, the entire Western world was the first to be overwhelmed by reports of Hayfji's fighting.

Few people in the report mentioned that there was only one platoon of U.S. Marines stationed in Hyfji, but the so-called "more than 500 defenders" were used to hype up how amazing the result of this battle was!

The Iraqi army deserved to be battle-hardened, and with the strength of one battalion, it annihilated the 500-man defenders of the coalition army at Khafji head-on! In other words, the combat strength of the Iraqi army, at least on land, is likely to be comparable to that of the coalition army......

This is really shameless, and the Saudi garrison is too embarrassed to count people? It takes more than such a short time to catch 500 pigs, right? After all, pigs don't raise their hooves and walk into a prisoner of war camp.

However, under the control of the Western media, there is no news at all that dares to tell the truth.

In a battle of 500 against 500 people, it turned out that the coalition army was completely annihilated. Even if the coalition forces still have air superiority, I am afraid that they will still need more preparation time and investment if they want to win the victory.

Iraq's total army of one million, at least three divisions of the Revolutionary Guards, is combat-ready with the Rasile Armored Battalion. In this way, the current battle plan must be changed. The 300,000 U.S. troops are obviously not safe, and they need to send more troops, ask their allies to provide greater help and burden, and put more productivity and transportation power into combat preparations.

The joint meeting even made a new plan, with a great intention of moving the entire US military to Saudi Arabia.

Even so, the pre-war estimate of 1,000 casualties would have to be changed, and the coalition forces might have to be prepared for tens of thousands of deaths.

In the face of such great pressure on war damage, the owner of the White House seems to be hesitant.

On the one hand, Saddam Hussein made a big deal of propaganda about the Khafji battle, and on the other hand, he left Rasile idle and strengthened his control over the opponent's army.

At the negotiating table, Iraq not only did not raise its asking price because of this, but made certain concessions. No longer seeking complete control of Kuwait, but willing to surrender claimed ownership of the Kuwaiti royal family's overseas assets and to sign a non-aggression pact with Saudi Arabia in exchange for international recognition of the Kuwaiti occupation.

Saddam Hussein is ready to eat Kuwait in his belly, and the new Iraq will account for more than 20 percent of the international oil market's producers. When the time comes, he will sell himself to the US imperialist as a dog, and at least he can sell it for a price that is not lost to Saudi Arabia, right?

Unfortunately, Saddam Hussein did not know that his fate was determined long before the end of the Iran-Iraq war.

He didn't want to fight the Gulf War, but he had to.

At the negotiating table in Egypt, the US Secretary of State bites the bullet in the negotiations: unconditional withdrawal of troops from Kuwait and acceptance of UN sanctions.

Saddam Hussein could never accept such conditions.

Great, what the United States is most afraid of now is not how many people die on the battlefield, but that Saddam Hussein will break through layers of blockade and suddenly kneel on the lawn of the White House.

After all, the price of American GIs is clearly marked, and one is worth $260,000. Compared with the gains or losses of 70 billion, Wall Street and the energy conglomerate don't care about the death of just 30 American GIs.

If there is a need, it is no problem to die another 200,000.

After all, the pension is paid by the state. And in the financial markets, it is your own money that is lost.

Reports of the battle in Haifji were overwhelming, and the "toughness" of the Iraqi army, which was "third in the world," gradually began to take root in the hearts of the people.

Of course, these are the effects that need to be slowly fermented to be reflected later.

And at the end of November, the UN General Assembly voted on Resolution 678......

"I ask the representatives to suspend the vote for the time being, and I need to inform the participating countries of the information that my country has just received. ”

"Just earlier today, Khafji, a Saudi city 15 kilometers off the Kuwaiti border, was attacked by Iraq. I have received information that an Iraqi battalion has attacked Khafji, which is garrisoned by 500 coalition troops, and that it had already captured the whole of Khafji an hour earlier. ”

"The President of the United States hopes that the United Nations will temporarily suspend the vote on Resolution 678 to allow time for us to submit a new proposal. ”

At this time, the UN ambassadors in the venue couldn't help but look at the US ambassador with shocked faces. It's a bit of a "it's not that I don't understand, the world is changing fast".

When did Iraq's combat effectiveness become so ferocious?

In any case, the United States is the one who calls the shots in the United Nations at this time. Since the Ambassador of the United States said that the President of the United States proposed to adjourn the vote, let it be so.

Countries voted in favor or abstained, and in the end, this proposal replaced Resolution 678 and passed smoothly.

The prospect of the Gulf War suddenly became confusing.

Diplomats from all over the world and intelligence experts who don't know the inside story are full of doubts, but Hu Wenhai saw through the Americans' calculations at a glance.

", black whistle! Match-fixing!"

Hu Wenhai saw this scene from the TV, and he couldn't help but feel cool and cool.

What combat effectiveness does the US military have, how can he not know?

If it were really 500 against 500, the US military would never have been able to fight like this.

But since this situation has arisen, there is only one possibility - the Americans have deliberately lost.

As for the motives, does that need to be said? Hu Wenhai has reaped almost all of Wall Street's expected gains in the financial market, and it would be good if the US imperialists did not fight with him.

It's better to just make a trick and ask him to drill than to be really taken by the CIA.

Almost at the same time that the US ambassador to the United Nations disclosed the information, the international crude oil price jumped slightly and rose by one dollar. Then, immediately after that, the price curve pulls a ladder on the screen.

After a month, the price of oil is back to forty dollars.

"Damn Yankees!"

Hu Wenhai gritted his teeth and popped out these words from between his mouth.

Chen Yifa rushed in from the outside office and said with some panic: "Mr. Hu, the price of oil has exceeded forty dollars. Just one more dollar goes up, and our money is in danger!"

Finance is gambling, and it is impossible for gamblers to win money from the dealer. Hu Wenhai took a deep breath and made up his mind. Regardless of the outcome this time, the position of the dealer will never be given to anyone else in the future.

The lesson this time is profound enough.

"Don't worry. ”

Although Hu Wenhai's face was not very good, he still pressed down on his overclocked heart and gave an order to Chen Fa.

"Contact large and medium-sized banks and ask them to ensure the safety of our funds. As the main bank, we should have confidence in us at this time! This is what the Americans can do, and it is impossible for them to continue to indulge in military defeat or cancel their attack on Iraq. As long as the US president still makes the decision to send troops, releasing oil reserves to the market is an inevitable option, and the price of oil will still fall!"

There is nothing wrong with Hu Wenhai's judgment, but the problem is that once the price of oil rises above $43, all his capital will be re-exported.

Even if it is $41, some of the short contracts in his hands may have been blown up.

Of course, there are funds that can be invested, but it takes time to prepare these funds, and it will have a serious impact on the operation of the group.

Hu Wenhai will never agree to the use of this part of the capital.

Then, he had to find a new source of financing.

Only by continuing to invest funds can we avoid liquidating positions and survive the dangerous period before Bush releases oil reserves.

"Let Dazhong Bank urgently approve a loan, and we can use the shares of Heung Kong Wafer Factory and IGCT's patents as collateral!"

Heung Kong Wafer Fab now provides the world's supply of IGCT chips, with an annual turnover of at least one billion US dollars, and all the products are digested by internal investors.

Owning shares in Heung Kong Wafer Fab is not only an investment, but also a ticket to enter the IGCT market. Not to mention IGCT's patents, usually if Hu Wenhai has a little bit of wind exposed, the acquirer can squeeze the threshold.

In terms of the purchase price, there is no bargaining for the purchase price of less than $5 billion.

"But ......"

Chen Fa wanted to say and stopped, IGCT is a big foreign exchange earner of Xinke, and it would be a pity if it lost control of the Xiangjiang wafer factory.

"No, it's urgent, go quickly!"

Of course, Hu Wenhai will not say that if this shop loses, it is a big deal for Lao Tzu to release IGBT technology in advance, shuffle the power chip market in minutes, and then lose as much as he loses and then earn back.

Although Chen Fa didn't know Hu Wenhai's plans, his resolute momentum undoubtedly showed his firm attitude.

"I'll go. ”

Chen Fa nodded, turned around and walked out of the lounge to call outside.

Hu Wenhai was still glued to the monitor, where the price of oil had not stopped rising in the slightest.

It seems that his little historical memory of the financial market of the Gulf War is now completely invalid.

After a while, Chen Fa knocked on the door of the lounge, his face extremely ugly.

"Mr. Hu, Dazhong Bank rejected our loan. ”

"What about the other banks? Tickets to the IGCT market, isn't anyone interested?"

A good secretary will, of course, do the work ahead of the boss. She also has an answer to Hu Wenhai's question.

"I asked the Financial Secretariat to ask, and all of the top 30 international banks rejected our emergency loans. ”
