The root of the problem lies in the current war-torn Iran-Iraq.

The Iran-Iraq War was the largest and longest war of the 80s.

The causes of the war are complex, ranging from long-standing historical causes to increasingly fierce border disputes.

There are not only internal contradictions between the two countries, but also the role of international influence.

It is not only about the national hatred between the two peoples, but also about the personal problems between the leaders of the two countries.

But in general, the three most important factors are: border disputes, religious contradictions, and ethnic hatred.

Among them, the most important and direct cause is the border dispute.

In this war, the two camps of the East and the West, the Arab countries, appeared one after another, and fought a complex war that lasted for eight years.

The Jewish state is the enemy of the Arab states, but the Arab countries are not monolithic, and the struggle between the Shiites and Sunnis within them is even greater than that of the external enemies.

The contradiction between the Jewish state and the Shiites was smaller, and at this time, of course, it was Persia, which supported the Shiites as the main part.

As a spy for the Jewish state and a well-known international arms dealer, Mirkan was actively involved in the war from the very beginning, supplying Persia with large quantities of arms through various channels.

However, Babylon received a lot of diplomatic and military support from the Soviet Union.

The Arab countries also provided economic assistance to Babylon. At the same time, Armenia also favored Babylon, providing it with weapons and economic assistance.

The crux of the matter is that Babylon was defeated after receiving so much support, and now that the war has been going on for three years, Persia, which is almost alone, has the advantage on the battlefield.

At this time, Western countries, including the Eastern bloc, were putting pressure on Babylon at all levels internationally.

The Jewish state could not withstand such pressure, nor could it openly support Persia.

But Milkan, who is the main manager, can't get out at this time.

Now, Amenia is investigating Mirkan's role in the battlefield over the past few years, and the Jewish state, as Armenia's younger brother, is simply unable to resist the pressure from Armenia, the world overlord.

Milkan seems to be given up as a scapegoat.

At the national level, Milkan is willing to sacrifice for his country, but he will not sit idly by if given the chance.

As a small person in the international maelstrom, he also has great influence compared to ordinary people, and when he wants to fight hard, he can also break out into a big threat.

It is also for this reason that he is still alive and well.

Hearing Milkan's current situation, Jonas couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing Jonas's smile, Milkan's heart did not have anger, but a glimmer of hope.

Jonas had spent several years in the Middle East in his previous life, and although he was not very familiar with their history, he still had a relatively clear understanding of some major events in recent times.

It is now November '83, the end of the second phase of the Iran-Iraq war. Indeed, it was now the Persians who had the absolute preponderance, and they occupied many of the towns and lands that originally belonged to Babylon.

Because of the huge international pressure, Persia ceased war at the end of March next year, and from April next year, the Iran-Iraq war turned into a local war of attrition, until the third phase of the war in 86.

Persia was originally the hardcore little brother of Armenia, and because of the revolution, he stood on the opposite side of Armenia, which was unacceptable to Armenia.

Because of the Persian connections, Macridge is wanted, and now there is another Mirkan is not surprising.

However, since the Persian truce in March of the following year, Persian relations with Armenia have been eased.

In this, it involves the growing relationship between the Eastern camp and Babylon.

Beginning next year, Armenia switched from a blockade of Persia to limited support, selling arms to them as well.

The Iran-Iraq war, which began as a struggle between two small countries, eventually turned into a testing ground for the East and the West.

It was a war without a winner, and both countries suffered heavy losses.

Before the war, Babylon had $37 billion in foreign exchange reserves, and at the end of the war, its foreign debt was more than $70 billion, of which more than $40 billion was an arms debt owed to Western countries and the Soviet Union, and more than $30 billion was loans owed to other Arab countries.

During the war, Babylon suffered 180,000 dead and 250,000 wounded, and its direct losses (including military spending, war damage, and economic losses) were more than $300 billion.

Persia also owes more than $40 billion in foreign debts, with 350,000 dead and more than 700,000 wounded, and 200,000 women in Tehran alone have lost their husbands, with direct losses of $300 billion.

The war delayed the economic development plans of the two countries by at least 20 to 30 years, turning them from two rich countries to poor countries.

Babylon was heavily indebted, with a debt of $14 billion to Kuwait alone. This was one of the main reasons why they later invaded Kuwait in the early nineties.

Because of his knowledge of history, Jonas is well aware of the trend of this war, and also knows that Milkan now seems to be in a desperate situation, but in fact there is a lot to do.

"Uncle Arnhorn, you can't see the situation clearly in the game, but in my opinion as a bystander, you are not in a dead end now, and there are at least two options that can accommodate the escape from the crisis. ”

Milkan suppressed his excitement, nodded and said, "Please speak." ”

"The first option is that you go to Persia and try to convince them to temporarily cease the war when they now have the upper hand. On the one hand, it can consolidate the gains of the war, and on the other hand, it can reduce the international pressure on Persia. ”

Milkan smiled bitterly, "You think too highly of me, I don't think I have such great ability." ”

"What if Persia also wants an armistice?"

Mirkan groaned, he actually knew very well that it was indeed difficult for Persia to continue fighting now, and he had already intended a truce.

However, it took an opportunity.

He asked, "What is the second option?"

"The conflict between Persia and Armenia stems from the revolution a few years ago, but because of the war in Afghanistan they are not on the same path with the Eastern bloc. Now that Babylon is taking advantage of both sides of the East and the West, it has angered many Armenian politicians.

In a situation where Persia can still have a limited degree of courtship, and Babylon is getting closer to its opponents, you can actually try to convince those members of Congress to have limited support for Persia and turn the Iran-Iraq war into a testing ground. ”

Seeing that Milkan was still pondering, he added: "I will not sign the inheritance of funds in private banks. That's not my money, and I don't need this kind of unreachable benefit. So, that's all for today......"

As soon as Jonas got up, Milkan stood up. "Jonas, do you really think you can learn more in school?"

"Yes. Jonas nodded firmly. "I'm going to be a legitimate businessman who doesn't want to dance on the tip of a knife all the time. So, Uncle Arnold, we're not one of the same kind of people. ”

Milkan watched Jonas walk out of the meeting room with a blank face, turned his head and said, "Although I can't understand why Jonas can analyze problems from a higher perspective, his tips are very operational. Thank you Yannick and Jonas for me, and if I make it back alive, I will be rewarded. ”

Brino nodded and smiled. "Rest assured, I won't be talking to anyone about today's conversation except Yannick. ”

"Thank you!"

Walking out of the living room, Jonas originally wanted to go upstairs to find Wolf, who was originally in a private bank but was now transferred to an investment bank, but after thinking about it, he stopped.

It's okay for him, so why bother to harass him to work, for people like them who do academics, the relationship can't be brought closer by such interactions.

He simply sat in the hall and watched the staff busy in this humble little building.

This is the temporary headquarters, and the real headquarters is located in a Gothic five-storey building adjacent to Zurich Reinsurance in the south of the Limmat River.

It is a world-famous financial district, surrounded by international investment banks and corporations.

The five-storey Gothic building, which originally belonged to a bank, was bought by Yannick and is still being renovated internally.

In terms of size, the building is larger than Hoffmann's Lucerne headquarters, but only the lower three floors can be used for offices, and the upper two floors can only be occupied.

Zurich's urban planning is very strict, especially this kind of building with a history of nearly 100 years, it is very troublesome to renovate, at least this year, don't consider moving in.

Milkan walked out and was not surprised to see Jonas. Jonas didn't say he was leaving, leaving first, just to show that he didn't want to get too close to Milkan.

Milkan is a smart man, so he didn't bother Jonas at this time, just nodded, called the two bodyguards in the rest area, and went out to leave.

Jonas returned to the door of the parlor and asked, "Brino, did my dad bring you back?"

Brino smiled, "Don't worry, everything is under control. Jonas, you're doing well. ”

"In other words, having a friendly relationship with Milkan helps bring Dad closer to the Jewish group, right?"

"Of course. If you don't have anything else to do, I need to go upstairs to get some information, and I'll have to get back to London in the evening. ”

Jonas nodded. "Have a great trip. Good bye. ”

Driving back to school, Jonas reflected on his meeting with Milkan today. Today he seems to have revealed a little bit of genius, but it doesn't matter. Because this judgment of the situation can be explained by his judgment, analysis.

This kind of analysis and inference of international affairs is something that any institution can do.

Jonas's reminder isn't particularly noticeable.

Parking the car on the side of the road in the cafeteria, Jonas found the book he needed and hurried to the study group he was going to.

This kind of extracurricular activity is also very important in the curriculum, and Jonas does not want to lower his impression score with the lecturer because of the lack of hours.

More importantly, this kind of study group is where students discuss, research, and do problems together, and they can really learn things.

After looking at the time, after class, I have to take some time to hurry up and buy hair removal liquid and hair removal cream, otherwise what will I take to help Balm remove hair on tomorrow's date?
