When Yang Weiping learned that the Soviet Union would form a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier battle group fleet in the Mediterranean, West German Chancellor Kohl looked calm and breezy on the surface, but in fact he had already set off turbulent waves in his heart.

Cole even wondered if it was possible that this newly formed Mediterranean Fleet of the Soviet Navy would be a combined fleet with the participation of the Eastern Union Navy!

Regardless of whether or not the Syrian-Iranian Grand Canal plan can be implemented smoothly, the Soviet Union's need to build a new nuclear-powered aircraft carrier fleet in the Mediterranean Sea alone is enough to make the political situation in the Mediterranean coastal region more tense and complicated.

As for whether the Soviet Union and the Eastern Union had the strength to build a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, Cole automatically chose to ignore it. Because the military intelligence agencies of the Federal Republic of Germany have long received important information about the successful development of a new aircraft carrier steam catapult by the Eastern Union and the Soviet Union. Moreover, it has long been no secret that the Eastern Union and the USSR cooperated in the construction of the Soviet Union's "Ulyanovsk"-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.

Hopefully, Israel will not go to war with Syria over the Syria-Iraq Canal project, leading to a sixth Middle East war. Otherwise, the close relationship between the Federal Republic of Germany and Israel will inevitably drag the Federal Republic of Germany into the water.

From the First Middle East War that broke out on May 16, 1948 to the Fifth Middle East War that broke out on June 4, 1982, the Soviet Union intervened in all five Middle East wars, but its intensity was not very large. Its main purpose is to counterbalance the United States.

This time, however, the Soviet Union reorganized its Fifth Fleet into a permanent Mediterranean Fleet, which meant that the Soviet Union's control over the Mediterranean would be stronger than at any time in history.

Cole realized that if the United States dared to support Israel's attack on Syria to prevent the implementation of the Syrian-Iranian Canal plan, the Soviet Union and the Eastern Union would certainly be determined to compete with the United States in the Mediterranean.

Are Americans really willing to pay this bloody money? Cole suddenly found that the answer seemed to be "no"!

Because without the support of Western European countries, the United States is obviously unable to stand alone.

The Syrian-Iranian Grand Canal was not built for military and war purposes, but to shorten the transport distance from Europe to the Persian Gulf. It is a transportation project that belongs to the economic level. Even if the Soviet Union would station troops along the canal after the canal was completed, it would not be strongly opposed by NATO members. After all, the Fifth Detachment of the USSR Navy had already had a military base in the Mediterranean.

Although it is reasonable to force the Syrian-Iraqi Canal as a Soviet military reinforcement in the Mediterranean, even Kohl understands that this reason is so weak. If NATO members want to pay for the sixth Middle East war for this reason that is not a reason, I am afraid that few European countries will be willing.

As for the argument that the Syria-Iraq Canal was a Soviet Union's attempt to control European oil transportation in the future, this argument seems to be difficult to hold. Because the Suez Canal is still there. It has not been completely abolished.

Therefore, no matter which angle is analyzed, Cole finds it difficult to legally find the terms that blocked the Syrian-Iraqi Canal project. Unless, the governments of the Soviet Union, Syria, and Iraq can't scrape together the huge sums of money needed to build the canal.

An investment of $12 billion a year may seem like a lot of money, but if it is spread over five or six countries, or even more shareholders, it's not much.

From the moment the USSR proposed the Syrian-Iraqi Canal plan, not only Syria and Iraq immediately responded. Even Japan, South Korea, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao, Oriental Union, and Thailand in Asia, Britain, France, Italy, Spain, and Turkey in Europe, and Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Jotan, and Palestine in the Middle East all immediately expressed their political and economic solidarity.

It can be said that as long as the construction of the Syrian-Iranian Canal begins, there will be no problem at all in terms of funding.

This is the most beautiful time since the Cold War that the Soviet Union has played the most beautiful game in the global layout!

With the stiff and arrogant thinking of the Slavs, Kohl felt that the Soviets should not have such wisdom and imagination. Thinking of this, Cole couldn't help but once again set his eyes on the world's youngest head of state.

It must be Yang Weiping who is giving advice to Andropov!

There are only magical and mysterious Oriental Chinese people in this world. Only then can you have this kind of genius wisdom and creative thinking!

Perhaps, this is also the beginning of OUC's hand into the Middle East and Europe!

Standing at the level of economic interests. Kohl understood that the West German government should support the Syrian-Iraq Canal project. From the political standpoint of the reunification of East and West Germany, Kohl knew better that the attitude of the Eastern Union could directly affect the attitude of the Soviet Union.

If Germany wants to reunify, it will not be able to bypass the huge hurdle of the Soviet Union in any way.

If the Soviet Union is completely offended in the Syrian-Iraqi Canal project, the Soviets' character of retribution will definitely resolutely block the door to the return of East Germany to Germany.

Looking at the complicated expression on Prime Minister Cole's face, Yang Weiping reached out and gently extinguished the cigar butt in the ashtray in front of him, and said with an indifferent smile: "Mr. Prime Minister." Germany has no vested interests in the Mediterranean, and if your government wants to get a stake in the Syrian-Iraqi Canal, I can help you thread the needle. Perhaps Israel could also participate in the construction of the Syria-Iraq Canal in the name of your country. My construction, Andropov will still seriously consider it. ”

That's right! Cole's mind flashed with an idea.

Why did it have to stop the Syrian-Iraq Canal project, and why not involve Germany in the project and get a piece of the pie?

Israel has a hostile relationship with Syria. But Israel can hand over the money to the German government and become a hidden shareholder of the Syria-Iraq Canal!

Thinking of this, Chancellor Kohl immediately nodded solemnly and said: "The Syrian-Iranian Canal Project is a great plan to promote the development of economic integration in Europe and Asia! The Federal Government of Germany has every responsibility and obligation to participate in this great plan!"

Next, Yang Weiping exchanged views with Kohl on the topic of the Mandalay Cooperation Organization and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. Naturally, the Federal Republic of Germany (FGD) has become a member of the Mandalay Cooperation Organization and a shareholder of the AIIB after the United Kingdom.

The next day, Cole personally accompanied Yang Weiping and his wife to visit the science and technology building of the Mercedes headquarters, the TK small arms manufacturing plant, and the research and development center of the MTU diesel engine company. The two sides also signed a package of cooperation agreements on cooperation in investing and building factories in Iraq.

As a temporary member of the delegation to Germany, Uday jumped three feet high with excitement after learning the good news that the East Union and West Germany were going to build a joint venture factory in Iraq. After obtaining the consent of Mr. Yang Weiping, Uday immediately called his father, President Saddam, to report the good news.

Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, the presidential palace.

After Saddam Hussein hung up the phone call from his eldest son Uday from West Germany, his facial expression, which had been collapsing, gradually revealed a rare smile.

The head of the Eastern Union accepted Uday as a student, and Saddam Hussein did not believe this rumor before. Because he couldn't understand what the youngest head of state in the world of the Eastern Union of Eastern Union liked about Uday, and would actually agree to accept Uday as a student.

As a father, Saddam Hussein certainly knows what kind of virtue his son is.

Because he has been busy with various political and military affairs over the years, Saddam Hussein did not have much time to strictly discipline his two sons. In his heart, of course, he hoped that his two sons would be able to succeed him in the future, and father and son would work together to rebuild the Babylonian Empire.

It's a pity that as the son of the president of Iraq, apart from him as a father, Saddam Hussein really can't find a second good teacher who can make Uday's obedience close. This also led Uday to gradually become the largest in Iraq.

If the young head of the Eastern Union really took a fancy to Uday's qualifications and accepted him as a student, Saddam Hussein would certainly not be able to ask for it. Even if Uday can learn one-tenth of the real talent from the young head of the Eastern Union, it will be enough for Uday to provoke the pillars of Iraq in the future.

The problem is that Saddam Hussein was worried that the young Führer of the Eastern Union was not a drunkard!

Iraq has become more and more dependent on OUEC over the years. In this war with the Iranians, if it had not been for the various advanced weapons and equipment provided by the Eastern Union and the training of the Iraqi army by the East Union Defense Force Teaching Corps, Iraq would have lost to Iran, which is secretly supported by the Americans.

Although it can be said that the Soviet Union has not been light in providing weapons assistance to Iraq, the weapons and equipment provided by the Soviet Union are obviously backward equipment that is facing obsolescence. The Eastern Union is obviously much better than the Soviet Union in this regard, and all the light and heavy equipment provided, whether it is the air force or the army, is world-class. However, due to the general lack of literacy of the Iraqi army, it will take time to maximize the maximum performance of these advanced weapons and equipment.

The reason why the Eastern Union is so generous, Saddam Hussein knows very well in his heart that it is the young head of state of the Eastern Union who is plotting for oil in the Middle East.

In line with the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, Saddam Hussein, after repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, resolutely made the important decision to change the international settlement currency unit of the Iraqi Oil Exchange to the Asian dollar.

Since the East Association is interfering in the political pattern of the Middle East, it will simply drag the East Union into the water, so that the struggle between the East Union and the United States will become more acute.

Saddam Hussein did not know whether the young head of the Eastern Union decided to accept Uday as a student because Iraq had chosen the Asian dollar for oil and voted for Li, or whether there was another deeper political conspiracy. But Saddam Hussein knew that a tighter tie between Iraq's interests and the Eastern Union would only be more beneficial to Iraq's current war pressure.

As for how Iraq will deal with relations with the Eastern Union in the future, it will be better to wait until the Iranians are defeated.

Perhaps, with the training of the young head of the Eastern Union himself, Uday will be able to lead Iraq to regain the glory of the Babylonian Empire in the future.

The only way to do this is to take one step at a time.

I hope that the young head of the Eastern Union can really teach Uday the true way of governing the country. (To be continued......)
