White House conference room.

US President O'Guanhai, CIA Director David Petraeus, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Michael Mullen, and other military and political dignitaries are intently looking at the latest intelligence materials in front of them.

It took a long time for Ao Guanhai to speak: "It seems that the Russians have made up their minds to throw themselves into the arms of the war and the Chinese this time!"

David Petraeus said: "The CIA is evaluating the actions in Ukraine, and we believe that it is necessary to increase assistance to Kyiv, otherwise once Donets and other places become independent with Crimea, then there will be a domino effect throughout eastern Ukraine, which is very detrimental to our situation in Eastern Europe." ”

Ao Guanhai turned his head and said to Leon Panetta, "Leon, what do you think?"

Leon Panetta squinted: "Ukraine is not the focus, it is only one of our main areas of attack against Russia, and the Europeans should have more headaches about the situation in Ukraine than we do." ”

"Last night I had phone calls with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, French President François Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and they agreed to continue to provide financial assistance to Kyiv, but the CIA needs to help solve the problem with weapons. ”

David Petraeus said: "This is no problem, as long as Russia does not check directly, the equipment of the Ukrainian government army is enough to form a sufficient advantage over the rebels, and if Russia directly intervenes, then we don't need to worry so much." ”

Ao Guanhai nodded, then looked up and asked Hillary Clinton to ask, "What does OPEC say?"

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who just finished a trip to the Middle East, said: "Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait and other OPEC countries have all said. If it is true, they will fully cooperate with our actions, and the Saudi crown prince told me privately after the talks that Saudi Arabia will use a means to ensure the energy status of oil, and even form an Arab coalition to deal with Somalia!"

"Really? That's great!"

Everyone present was in high spirits.

Although the reaction of these OPEC countries was expected, the fact that they could get a positive answer still made everyone in the room excited.

The importance of OPEC is undeniable.

Especially in today's high oil prices, these Middle Eastern tyrants who are not short of money have a strong influence in the world.

Even before Hillary Clinton's visit to Middle Eastern countries, Americans were worried about whether Saudi Arabia, as the largest oil producer, would have a premonition of the end of fossil fuels. It will completely fall to China.

You must know that Saudi Arabia is a traditional ally of the United States in the Middle East. However, due to the old feud between the Arab world and Israel, the relationship between Saudi Arabia and the United States, as the "chief helmsman" of the Arab countries, has always been relatively delicate, and it has maintained an alliance with the United States while keeping a moderate distance.

This situation began in the late eighties of the last century after China sold Dongfeng-3 medium-range ballistic missiles to Saudi Arabia.

In 1981, the Israeli Air Force brazenly crossed Saudi airspace. Destroyed Iraq's nuclear reactors. Followed by. In the 1982 Middle East war, Israel defeated the Arab coalition and was powerless to fight back. Then the Iran-Iraq war rose to the point of life and death. Iran and Iraq have used all kinds of tactical missiles to strike each other's targets without restraint, and in turn, neighboring countries have suffered from the disaster of pond fish.

The news of Israel's possession of intermediate-range ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons has also raised a sense of crisis in Saudi Arabia, which is desperate to acquire a weapon with sufficient deterrent capabilities to deter regional powers.

In 1985, the Saudi ambassador to the United States, Prince Bandar, was the first to take action, tentatively proposing to the United States to purchase the "Lance" ballistic missile (note: this demand is obviously Saudi Arabia's asking for directions, because the missile has a range of less than 200 kilometers, and the United States sold it to Iran before the YSLGM in 1979), but the United States categorically refused.

When Bandar reported the news back home, the Saudis began to frustrate: where to find a country that could quickly supply such weapons without proposing a restrictive treaty?

Prince Sultan, commander of the Saudi Air Defense Force, recommended to the king China, which had not yet established diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia.

After nearly two years of arduous negotiations, in 1988, China officially announced that it had sold a batch of DF-3 intermediate-range ballistic missiles (with a range of 3,000 kilometers) to Saudi Arabia for $3.5 billion, and undertook the obligation to deploy the missile planning infrastructure and train relevant personnel.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately shook the world.

According to international arms control treaties, a country should not export missiles with a range of more than 300 kilometres to other countries that do not have the capability to develop such weapons. The DF-3 missile, on the other hand, has a range of nearly 3,000 kilometers and can carry nuclear warheads, which is a strategic-level weapon, which is enough to affect the strategic balance between regions.

Even without taking into account international arms control treaties, it is difficult to imagine the export of such weapons from one country to another, not to mention the fact that at that time China and Saudi Arabia had not even established diplomatic relations!

Due to the low world oil prices, Saudi Arabia's GDP in 1986 was only 87 billion US dollars, and the total government revenue was about 48 billion.

As for China, in 1986, China's foreign exchange reserves were only $2.072 billion, and $3.5 billion was 1.75 times China's total foreign exchange reserves! At that time, China's total annual GDP was only $300 billion, an order of more than 1 percent of China's annual GDP!

You can imagine how amazing this super order is.

However, Saudi Arabia has since secured its position as the leader of the Arab world, and the DF-3 ballistic missile has not disappointed Saudi Arabia.

On August 2, 1990, just a few months after the official operation of the new Saudi missile base, Iraq brazenly invaded Kuwait, and in less than a day, the entire territory of Kuwait fell, and 100,000 Iraqi troops approached the eastern territory of Saudi Arabia.

At the first time, the Saudi military urgently activated the combat readiness procedures of the Sulaiil base, and a number of "Dongfeng"-3 missiles were transported to the launch base, and this qiē was disclosed by Saudi television, so that the then Iraqi President Saddam Hussein did not dare to make a mistake against Saudi Arabia.

In 1990, Saudi Arabia and China established diplomatic relations, and the relationship between the two countries warmed up in an all-round way, and for more than 20 years, Saudi Arabia has maintained good relations with China.

The concerns of Oke Guanhai and others are understandable.

But now it seems that this idea is obviously too much.

The emergence of the Golden Dragon battery, the most should jump to these oil-producing countries.

No matter how good the relationship between China and Saudi Arabia was, as soon as the Golden Dragon battery came out, they had completely opposed each other's positions.

Oguanhai sent Hillary to visit the Middle East and other countries precisely to gather the strength of oil-producing countries and unite together to win this energy war.

Ao Guanhai smiled: "Good job, if we can get the support of OPEC, then we have one more chance of winning against the Golden Dragon battery, as long as the promotion of the Golden Dragon battery in the world is delayed, after a few years, when our metal battery technology is also mature, and then to carve up this big cake, then it will be the real opportunity for us in the United States."
