Chapter 718: Storm in the Gulf (6)
In particular, the people on the other side of the Caspian Sea, seeing the unique scenery here, have called on the authorities to become Yao Yi's 'private' territory.
At this time, Yao Yi only shouted verbally, but he didn't think that he would immediately include the three countries on the other side of the Caspian Sea, because these three countries are not only small in area, but also have huge populations, for Yao Yi, it is a heavy burden, although their geographical location is more important, but, so far, Yao Yi does not need them.
What Yao Yi needs to do now is to concentrate all his forces to deal with the first Russia, which is the key to the key, and taking Russia's Siberia and the Far East into his pocket is Yao Yi's top priority.
Everything in Central Asia was basically carried out step by step according to Yao Yi's plan.
As for how to deal with the former president of Kazakhstan, Yao Yi originally wanted to wait for Russia to react before dealing with it.
However, there is a fierce power struggle in Moscow, and they have no time to take care of these soldiers who were temporarily detained by Yao Yi, in this case, Yao Yi does not want to keep this group of soldiers by his side, after all, such a name is not justified.
According to the original plan, the former president of Kazakhstan was put on trial, and he was charged with 'privately' seizing the Soviet Central Army, embezzling military equipment, and punishing him with death.
The news did not send a ripple through the international community, and even Moscow did not make any noise.
When Yao Yi found out about these situations, all he could do was release those Russian soldiers.
But to Yao Yi's surprise, these soldiers chose to stay in Yao Yi's 'private' territory instead of returning to their hometown, because, through radio and television, they knew that their hometown was suffering from the worst famine and economic crisis, and that the depreciation of the ruble had turned their savings into waste paper, coupled with their dissatisfaction with the invasion of Afghanistan, and the fact that they had food and drink in Yao Yi's 'private' territory, it was also wise for them to choose to stay here.
However, it is chilling that in the infighting in Moscow, there was not a single official of the Russian republics or the central government of the Soviet Union to greet them, and these tens of thousands of soldiers became outcasts.
Even they themselves could not have imagined that after nearly ten years of birth and death in Afghanistan, they would end up with no one to care about and no one to ask.
Yao Yi incorporated this army into a special system, giving them a certain salary to maintain their daily sergeant training.
In the current situation, it can only be dealt with like this, Yao Yi himself is also waiting for the opportunity to be able to deal with these soldiers well.
By this time, the United Nations had already imposed a series of sanctions, but Iraq had simply ignored them.
And the US Congress finally ended the quarrel and officially authorized the US president to use force.
By this time, Yao Yi's million-strong army had fallen into Central Asia, including 100,000 troops deployed on the border between Iran and Turkmenistan, and these troops were just for show, and would not actually attack Iraq through Iran.
What really worked was the 200,000 soldiers and horses deployed on the border between Iraq and Saudi Arabia, as well as on the border between Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, these armies used old American decommissioned equipment to conduct large-scale pre-war exercises on the border between Iraq and Saudi Arabia, and the U.S. retired tanks and a large number of Humvees modified by Yao Yi appeared to be full of power with the cooperation of Yao Yi's new weapons, which made the Iraqi army a little frightened, and began to build a large number of fortifications on the border to defend against Yao Yi's attack on Iraq.
Yao Yi had already stated in advance that his army was only defensive and would not enter Iraq to fight.
Yao Yi did this, a major problem is to prevent the Iraqi people from rebelling against Yao Yi, because in the future, Yao Yi will still do oil business in Iraq, absolutely unwilling to offend the Iraqis, let alone set himself on fire, as long as he fulfills his promise to the Saudi king and guarantees that Iraq will not dare to attack Saudi Arabia, even if the task is completed.
And Yao Yi also knows that when the time comes, the United States will inevitably enter the war, and let the Americans take the leadership task and become the object of hatred of the Iraqi people.
And Yao Yi also knew that after the war, Kuwait would definitely turn to Yao Yi for help, especially in terms of financial assistance.
When the authorization of the U.S. Congress was issued, Mr. White, the U.S. special envoy, came non-stop to discuss matters with Yao Yi.
To say that Mr. White should negotiate things with Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries, there is no need to negotiate with Yao Yi at all.
However, the problem now is that Yao Yi's 1,000 fighters are deployed in the Middle East, and there are 10 separate old aircraft carriers floating in the Indian Ocean as a supply center, and 200,000 Chinese Army troops are deployed in Saudi Arabia, becoming the core leadership of Arab countries in the Middle East.
Mr. White knew very well that the crux of the problem was there, so he did not go anywhere, and as the president's special envoy, he went directly to Yao Yi's Lake Geneva estate, where he was already a frequent visitor and no stranger.
After seeing Yao Yi, he said with a smile: "Duke Yao, I have something big to discuss with you today. β
Yao Yi said with a smile: "As soon as Mr. White comes, there must be something big, let's go, let's talk about it." β
In fact, Yao Yi was already ready to talk to Mr. White.
The two of them came to the closed living room and sat down.
Mr. White said with a smile: "First of all, on behalf of our president, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you, if it were not for you, our foreign 'diplomat' personnel and many expatriates would probably still be in the hands of the devil in Iraq." β
Yao Yi said with a smile: "It's just what I can, there's nothing to show off." β
Mr. White said: "Duke Yao, now that the price of oil has risen sharply, and all kinds of mineral resources have skyrocketed, should Duke Yao do something in this regard?"
Yao Yi smiled and said: "Yes, now the price of oil has risen to forty dollars a barrel, even if you don't say it, I will also open a position to release oil, before you came, I have already issued an order, ordering my oil to sell a large amount of crude oil at the price of forty dollars a barrel, if you need it, in Akandi City, ChocΓ³ Province, Colombia, I have stored enough crude oil to supply you America." β
Mr. White said with a smile: "Hehe, Duke Yao is really a good eye, from us Americans, to buy 10 billion barrels at a price of 20 dollars a barrel, in the blink of an eye, in less than half a year, the price of oil has soared to 40 dollars a barrel, in this case, aren't you crazy?"
