The situation in China in the nineties was really very dangerous. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The invincible US imperialists are eyeing the world, and the domestic economy is constantly playing a roller coaster because of the reform of the economy. The uneven development of the east and the west, the north and the south, the retreat and retreat of the ideological field, the large-scale layoffs, smuggling, fiscal and taxation reforms, the military doing business, the crisis in the Taiwan Strait, the rise of South Korea, the return of the Xiangjiang River, the financial turmoil in Southeast Asia, the WTO accession negotiations, trade frictions, the bombing of the embassy and the 81192 ......

The fundamental reason for this is that China has become a thorn in the side of the United States before it entered the globalization system, and the Soviet Union, which was able to act as an MT for China, has fallen.

When Hu Wenhai was young, he was also a very angry young man when he saw China that had been wronged repeatedly.

I am very puzzled by the practices of the big leaders above, why do people bully them to the head but don't fight back?

Why does the Ministry of Foreign Affairs always have only "solemn protests"?

Why give so many benefits to foreigners?

In the end, many people attributed this anger to the weakness of the leadership, and even gave the leader at the time the nickname "old lady", and cursed him along with many people.

But some people's actions often correspond to that sentence.

The only person who can evaluate a person is "knowing that I sin against me, and his only thing is spring and autumn".

Just as Zhang Ju is implementing a whip law, almost offending the whole world. Later Ming bureaucrats counterattacked after his death, completely eliminating the reform achievements of a whip law.

Then the Ming Dynasty perished.

At this time, people looked back and suddenly realized. Oh, it turns out that Zhang Ju is such a great politician!

What that leader did back then was also unrecognized and incomprehensible by many people. But history can prove everything, and when people look back on the ups and downs of the 90s, they are deeply impressed by his wisdom.

Without China's forbearance and humiliation in the 90s, it is difficult to imagine how we would have ushered in a period of strategic opportunity that China would have once in a lifetime after 911.

This leader, fortunately, received a fair evaluation from the people during his lifetime.

Hu Wenhai knows that the next 10 years will be the most difficult and important decade for China.

It's essential to keep your head open, but it's important to make a difference.

Without action, Taoguang Yanghui is not Taoguang Yanghui, but losing power and humiliating the country. Only after Taoguang Yanghui can fight back, can it be called Taoguang Yanghui.

Losing face to make money and giving up ideological adherence in exchange for economic development is the only feasible plan.

"The victory of the United States in the Cold War is already an immutable fact, and no matter how the Soviet Union develops, it will no longer be able to assume the role of 'enemy of the United States'. Americans' eyes will be more focused on China, so we need to paralyze Americans' vigilant gaze and quietly accumulate our strength. ”

Hu Wenhai said to Fang Jiange: "The United States has achieved victory in the Cold War through deindustrialization. The next decade is the decade when they reap the fruits of the Cold War, and China cannot compete with the United States globally, but chooses to abide by the rules of the game set by the United States and play the best under these rules. I have never doubted this, but first of all, China needs to be able to join the global system. The rich and handsome don't take us to play, everything is for nothing. ”

"I see. Fang Jiange nodded and exhaled a long breath.

He said with some hesitude: "Only when we ourselves give up the ideological struggle and surrender to the capitalist society in the ideological field will people give you the slightest opportunity for development." ”

Hu Wenhai patted him on the shoulder: "However, capital has never had borders, and once this opening is opened, there will be a raging flood behind it." Globalization is not just about wealth, it's about a new world. ”

......

Time may seem like a fast thing, but in fact, in the person who has experienced it, there are times when it is simply like years.

Especially in July 1990, it was like a dream for Chen Fa.

Hu Wenhai's funds in Xiangjiang were operated by Chen Fa, and for her, the principal of 700 million yuan and the oil futures of up to 2.8 billion US dollars lay in the financial account in her hand.

Every three decimal places in the oil futures market is reflected in the wealth that ordinary people cannot imagine in a lifetime. Even for Chen Fa, such a game is too exciting.

It's really hard to imagine what kind of life Fang Jiange, who had mastered this money before, lived.

For the first time, she discovered that having wealth is not only a happy thing, but can also be a nightmare.

As the Iraq-Kuwait negotiations move into July, there seems to be hope for peace between Iraq and Kuwait.

In the closing price of Brent crude oil, this expectation of peace is reflected in the price, and there seems to be a certain blind optimism in the market. Oil prices have fallen from more than $20 to a tempting level of 18.2.

However, the situation began to take a turn for the worse in mid-July.

In the final analysis, Saddam Hussein did not die if he did not die. His fate was sealed at the end of the Iran-Iraq war.

After eight years of Iran-Iraq war, Iran's direct and indirect losses amounted to $1 trillion.

It is difficult to assess how much Iraq has lost by stealing chickens and rice. Because the unfortunate Iraq was beaten by the US military immediately afterwards, it is difficult to say who some of the results belong to.

But one thing is at least certain: by the end of the Iran-Iraq war, Iraq, which is rich in oil resources and exports a lot of oil, has owed hundreds of billions of dollars in foreign debt.

Despite this, Iraq remains a military power in the Middle East with strong oil production and supply capabilities.

After the war, Iraq's position within OPEC was gradually restored and improved. In order to develop the economy and repay foreign debts, Saddam Hussein once again proposed to implement the policy of "low production and high price."

Production restrictions have pushed up oil prices, otherwise $20 is already a very high price in the current oil price model. Normally, it is a market of more than ten dollars, and once Iraq wants to release production to pay off its debts, the price of oil will have to fall to the floor.

OPEC has to limit production so that Iraq can sell oil at a price -- that's what Saddam Hussein thought.

A typical young master's body, the life of the hall.

In addition to the US imperialism, maybe OPEC has to think about it, but what about the green onion that you Saddam Hussein......

In late July, OPEC held its 87th ministerial meeting. At that time, when the price of oil was $17 per barrel, Iraq demanded that the price of oil be raised to $25 per barrel!

The Americans are waiting to kill the USSR with low oil prices, you Saddam Hussein is the monkey of the USSR, right?

As soon as oil prices rose, the Soviet Union's financial crisis would immediately ease.

At this meeting, OPEC finally set the price of oil at $21 after a heated debate over Iraq's demands.

For Iraq, this is an acceptable price.

Soon, however, Kuwait and the UAE began to over-quota production in actual production. As a result, the world oil market immediately began to be oversupplied. Needless to say, these two countries stabbed Iraq in the back for the sake of the United States.

So much so that on 17 July, Saddam Hussein had to personally stand up and publicly denounce the attack, accusing Kuwait and Saudi Arabia of "overproducing and lowering prices," causing Iraq to suffer huge losses.

Even if Saddam Hussein did not want to die, in the eyes of the Americans, I am afraid that he would have to be forced to die.

What's more, Saddam Hussein's personality has long been studied by the Americans during the Iran-Iraq war. What kind of style this "old iron" is, the CIA probably knows better than himself.

Just as Saddam Hussein ordered Iraqi troops to enter the Kuwaiti border, Kuwait, which had previously been overproducing in a high-profile manner, was immediately instigated.

Kuwait and Saudi Arabia not only no longer overproduce, but instead have a weak and "small suffering" appearance. For Iraq, which has its own "guns" in hand, it is like those beautiful pagan girls on Chinese New Year's Eve in Cologne Cathedral Square.

How can you bear it!

In the subsequent negotiations, Iraq really began to open its mouth, not only to forgive Iraq's $15 billion loan to Kuwait during the Iran-Iraq war, but also to cede a corner of the Iraqi-Kuwaiti border near the Rumaila oil fields and nearby territories, and to lease Bubiyan and Walbay Islands to Iraq for 99 years, so that Iraq could obtain an oil outlet through the Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz.

"What you can't get on the battlefield, you can't get at the negotiating table. ”

After eight years of war, Iran has not been able to get a good port to the sea, how can it be so easy to get it from Kuwait?

In the face of the insatiable Saddam, the international community may feel that it can be rescued again.

At the end of July, under the mediation of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Arab League Secretary-General Al-Qalibi, Iraqi and Kuwaiti officials held their last talks in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on 31 July.

When Ibrahim, deputy chairman of the Iraqi Revolutionary Command Council, openly announced such a radical demand for negotiations in the presence of Kuwaiti Crown Prince Saad, Kuwait could only say that it was difficult to agree.

As far as Kuwait has to be ceded out of such a small piece of land, I am afraid that there will really be no place to stand.

After Saad refused, Ibrahim walked away and terminated the negotiations.

At a time when senior officials of Iraq and Kuwait shook hands and embraced, pretending to maintain the apparent harmony of the diplomatic occasion.

The day after the negotiations between the two countries were terminated, Iraq's 100,000 troops deployed on the Kuwaiti border marched into Kuwait City with little resistance worth mentioning.

In the face of Iraq's large-scale invasion, the international community was in an uproar. However, in the eyes of the Americans, in the eyes of the CIA, and in the eyes of US President George W. Bush, there is probably no surprise in the slightest.

After all, the script for this big scene was originally placed in the drawer of the White House desk!

The first stage of the Gulf War came to an end.
