During the Iran-Iraq war, Kuwait and other Gulf countries provided Iraq with more than $30 billion in loans and support for ports and other facilities.

Iraq, however, was not satisfied.

Iraq has openly argued that the Iran-Iraq war is a jihad waged against Iran and is an export to counter Iran's Islamic revolution.

It was to fight for the defense of the Arab nation and to shed blood and sacrifice for it.

The loans it owes to Kuwait and other Gulf countries are the blood of the Iraqis and the sacrifice of Iraq for the entire Arab world.

Countries such as Kuwait should write off these debts in the interest of Arab solidarity.

Iraq's 'one-shot' and hegemonic demands have not been heeded by the Gulf countries, and Kuwait, the largest creditor, is even quite dissatisfied.

After January 1990.

The price of crude oil on the international market fell from more than $20 per barrel to $14 by the middle of the year, reducing Iraq's oil revenues by billions of dollars.

This is intolerable for Iraq, which is in dire need of funds for construction and loan repayment.

The Iraqi side believes that the original minimum reference price of $18 per barrel set by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) has been breached by accident.

Rather, it is due to the over-quota oil exports from Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.

Seize this excuse,

In mid-July 1990, under the pretext of breaking the oil production quota, Iraq suddenly launched a fierce attack on Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, and other countries.

July 17th.

Iraqi President Saddam Hussein harshly criticized the oil policies of the Gulf countries at a rally to celebrate the 22nd anniversary of the Baath Party in Iraq.

July 18,

Iraq's official media hyped up an open letter from Iraqi Foreign Minister Aziz to Arab League Secretary-General Al-Qalibi on July 15.

Countries such as Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates have been criticized for their large over-exports.

Iraq's economic interests have been harmed.

The letter provides Iraq's calculations of the losses caused by the overproduction of oil and the fall in oil prices, i.e., the total losses of the Arab countries of $500 billion.

Iraq alone accounted for $89 billion.

The letter blames Kuwait for being the culprit and accusing Kuwait of secretly exploiting the Rumaila oil fields in the border area between the two countries 10 years ago.

The value of the stolen oil amounted to $2.4 billion.

The letter also unexpectedly condemned Kuwait for building military installations to the Iraqi side of the border between the two countries in the first year of the Iran-Iraq war.

It is said that this is an act of military aggression against Iraq.

In his open letter, Aziz also stated that Kuwait had committed a double aggression against Iraq.

First, its seizure of part of Iraq's territory and oil fields and the plundering of its national wealth are hardly tantamount to military aggression.

It is unbearable for all Iraqis;

Secondly, it has deliberately suffocated Iraq's economy when it has been the target of a vicious threat from imperialism-Zionism.

The intentions are extremely sinister.

It is an infringement that is as harmful as military aggression. At the same time, Iraqi troops began to build up in the Iraqi-Kuwaiti border area.

In response to Iraq's allegations, Kuwait promptly refuted them.

Condemns Iraq's policy of threats and blackmail against Kuwait and provides an urgent briefing to all Arab States on Kuwait's position.

Kuwait also informed the Secretary-General of the United Nations of the status of the Iraqi-Kuwait dispute.

and ordered the KLA to be put on high alert. Since then, Iko has been at odds, the situation has reached a white-hot level, and the atmosphere is tense.

Iraq-Kuwait relations are deteriorating day by day, and the situation in the Gulf has suddenly become tense.

This sudden intra-Arab dispute has not only aroused 'great concern' from the United States, but has also made other Arab countries feel worried.

In order to quickly end this brotherly feud,

The leaders of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, Yemen, Libya and other countries have made frequent emergency contacts to discuss countermeasures.

July 24,

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has travelled to Iraq and Kuwait in the hope that the dispute can be resolved through his good offices.

Mubarak formally made a four-point proposal to both sides of the conflict:

First, stop attacking propaganda and threats of war; second, to confine the issue to the Arab sphere and not internationalize it in any form;

Thirdly, a meeting between the two sides in Jeddah with the participation of Egypt and Saudi Arabia should be held.

Fourth, in the process of resolving this dispute, the border issue will not be discussed, but only economic and related issues will be discussed, so that the problem can be easily resolved.

Mubarak's mediation was a 'success'.

The Iraqi and Kuwaiti sides stopped propaganda attacks, and senior leaders of the two countries agreed to hold direct talks in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Saddam Hussein also promised Mubarak:

No matter how long the discussions between Iraq and Kuwait take, I will never use force. Until the means of negotiation are exhausted,

I will not intervene by force.

Later, in order to show its sincerity, Iraq also took the initiative to withdraw several kilometers of the 100,000 troops assembled on the Kuwaiti border in the early morning of the 26th.

There was a big storm in the Gulf, and there were signs that the dark clouds of summer would soon dissipate.

From the afternoon of July 31 to the morning of August 1,

Iraqi Revolutionary Command Council member Isa Ibrahim and Kuwaiti Crown Prince and Prime Minister Ad Salim Al-Sabah negotiate in Jeddah.

According to the Kuwaiti side after the fact,

During the negotiations, Kuwait had intended to make certain concessions to Iraq on economic issues in order to calm the tensions between the two countries.

To put it bluntly, it's a dumb loss.

However, Iraq wants more than Kuwait to compensate for its economic losses. And it is required to lease Kuwaiti Bubiyan Island for 99 years.

In addition, the Kuwaiti leadership was asked to go to Baghdad to plead guilty.

Iraq's consequential and harsh conditions are undoubtedly unacceptable to Kuwait in any case, and the Iraqi-Kuwait peace talks have failed.

However, upon leaving Jeddah, the two sides agreed that follow-up talks would be held in the two capitals, Baghdad and Kuwait City, respectively.

The failure of the Jeddah negotiations naturally cast a shadow over the resolution of the conflict, but after all, follow-up negotiations have been agreed, so all parties are still optimistic.

But the gaffe turned out to be more than all expected.

Just hours after Ibrahim and Saad returned to their respective countries, a 'Middle East War' broke out that shocked the whole world.

The warring parties are not Arabs and Israelis, who have been facing each other for many years, but the Arabs themselves.

2 August, 2 a.m. (Baghdad time).

The Iraqi army mobilized 14 divisions with a total strength of more than 100,000 troops, and with the support of the air force and the cooperation of the navy, suddenly invaded Kuwait on a large scale.

The offensive force, consisting of 5 divisions, was deployed in 2 echelons.

The first echelon deployed two divisions, led by 350 tanks, and quickly broke through the Kuwaiti army's border defense line in two routes in the eastern section of the Iraqi-Kuwaiti border.

After that, along the Eastern Kuwait Highway, quickly advance to Kuwait City, the capital of Kuwait;

The second echelon of 3 divisions followed suit;

The other nine divisions were deployed to stand by in the Iraqi-Kuwait border area. Iraqi marines landed near Kuwait City to coordinate the attack.

Under a large-scale surprise offensive by the Iraqi army.

The Kuwaiti army (more than 20,000 men in total) was caught off guard and quickly broke through the border defense line by the Iraqi army before it could organize an effective resistance.

The Iraqi army marched straight into Kuwait City at about 11 o'clock that day.

At the same time, Iraqi Marines took the long-coveted islands of Bubiyan and Walbai and landed in Shanghai in Kuwait City.

Cooperate with the main force to attack the palace of the emir of Kuwait City, the Prime Minister's Office, the Ministry of National Defense, the television station and other key departments.

By noon, the Iraqi army quickly occupied Kuwaiti radio and television stations, surrounded the palace of the Amir, and closed the Kuwait International Airport.

And with a part of the force, they continued south.

At 2:30 p.m., Iraqi forces captured the palace of the emir and took control of Kuwait City.

During the hours of defending the palace, Prince Fahd, the president of the Olympic Council of Asia, who remained in Kuwait, and some members of the royal family were killed.

The emir king fled by plane to an American warship anchored in the Persian Gulf.

It was later transferred to Saudi Arabia. The Crown Prince and Prime Minister, Prince Saad, and most of his cabinet members were also forced to withdraw to the Kosha border area.

Wait for the situation to change.

On 3 August, Iraqi forces captured a number of important areas west and south of the Kuwaiti capital, thereby essentially controlling all of Kuwait.

From the dispatch of troops to the occupation, it took only more than 10 hours.

Such a rapid pace illustrates both the strength of Iraq's military power and the fact that Iraq has been planning for a long time.

The so-called peace talks are nothing but smoke bombs.

On a private jet to Dubai, Wei Xiong received an update on the battle situation, not much different from the memories in his head.

Lightning-fast fiasco.

Monica, who was undressing and preparing to get out of the bathtub, asked suspiciously, "Boss, this war shouldn't have much to do with us, right?" ”

Wei Xiong smiled slightly: "Of course it doesn't matter, but it's a good opportunity to make friends with the Kuwaiti royal family." ”

Ouyang Yaqing raised her head and said: "Isn't Kuwait destroyed, even the prince was killed in battle, the Kuwaiti royal family should be finished, right?" ”

Wei Xiong held an oversized white rabbit: "This is not necessarily. ”

"This is not the time of World War II, and none of the world's major powers will allow any country to change geopolitical relations through violence and war."

"Especially in Western countries, led by the United States."

Monica sat down behind Wei Xiong, the water covering her area from the waist down, and then she put her hands on Wei Xiong's back and gently rubbed it.

"You're saying the U.S. will intervene?"

"Kuwait is small, but it is one of the world's largest oil producers and plays an important role in the international economy. ”

"Iraq's annexation of Kuwait will certainly increase its national strength, which is not in the interests of the United States."

After a pause, Wei Xiong continued: "Again, intervening in this war will also give the United States an opportunity and a pretext to intervene in the affairs of the Middle East. ”

"In fact, Saddam Hussein fell into the trap of the Americans."

After World War II, the Faisal dynasty of Iraq pursued a pro-American foreign policy and was one of the initiators of the Baghdad Pact.

In July 1958, the Faisal dynasty was overthrown.

Since then, both the Qassem junta and the Baath Socialist Party have held high the banner of Arab nationalism.

China will pursue a foreign policy that opposes the gross interference of the United States in Middle East affairs and its partiality in favor of Israel's aggression and expansion.

For this reason, it was announced that it would sever diplomatic relations with the United States.

In 1978, successive U.S. administrations regarded it as a radical in anti-American Arab countries, and suppressed it economically, militarily, and diplomatically.

Iran-Iraq war.

The United States, out of policy considerations for containing the export of the Khomeini Islamic Revolution, took a position in support of Iraq when the Iraqi army lost on the battlefield.

Neither condemns Saddam's responsibility for firing the 'first shot'.

It also does not condemn the use of chemical weapons by the Iraqi army, but works with other Western countries to provide Iraq with advanced weapons and equipment.

and from time to time to provide the Iraqi military with satellite photographs of the activities of the Iranian army.

After the ceasefire in the Iran-Iraq war, the United States and other Western countries continued to provide weapons and equipment to Iraq, in addition to helping Iraq recover its economy.

and from time to time to provide the Iraqi military with satellite photographs of the activities of the Iranian army.

Silence on Iraq's production of chemical weapons and research into nuclear weapons. Of course, Saddam Hussein also eased the anti-American attitude in Iraq.

As a result, Iraq became the most militarily powerful country in the Middle East.

This swelled Saddam's ambitions dramatically.

When Iraq made all kinds of harsh demands, including territory, to Kuwait and massively massed its forces on the Kuwaiti border,

The Americans, although aware of the situation, did not warn Saddam Hussein's threatening actions.

The Bush administration hopes to maintain the balance of power in the Gulf region and still regards Iraq's military power as a balancing force to contain various anti-US forces in the Middle East.

And it is believed that the threat of Iraq's military power to the Gulf countries will help these countries to seek protection from the United States.

This is also why the US government has long supported Iraq's military build-up, so that Saddam Hussein has enough capital to do whatever he wants in the Middle East.

Because of this,

Prior to Iraq's large-scale invasion of Kuwait, the United States not only did not explicitly warn Saddam Hussein not to use force in the conflict with Kuwait,

On the contrary, he repeatedly sent messages to Saddam that led him to make wrong judgments.

For example, in January this year, Bush shelved a congressional resolution banning the Export-Import Bank from lending to Iraq on the grounds of 'national interests.'

Another example is February 12th,

U.S. Under Secretary of State for Middle and Near Eastern Affairs John Kelly, who made an official visit to Baghdad, said in a conversation with Saddam:

You are a moderate force in the region, and the United States wants to develop relations with Iraq.

He also said that the United States was not interested in the border conflict between Iraq and Kuwait, and this undoubtedly gave Saddam Hussein a shot in the arm for his aggression against Kuwait.

In addition to this, there are many similar examples.

The misinformation of the Americans may be motivated by the desire to win over Iraq and deal with other anti-American forces in the Middle East.

But it is also tempting Saddam Hussein to make dangerous decisions step by step.

And that may be what the Americans are really aiming for. Because according to Wei Xiong's memory, the U.S. troops left for Saudi Arabia on August 7.

Only five days after Iraq sent troops to Kuwait, such a quick response was a surprise.

Moreover, the attitude of the US government has changed 180 degrees compared to before, and finally led the United Nations forces to drive the Iraqis back.

Then came the decade-long lockdown.

After listening to Wei Xiong's explanation, Monica nodded as it was: "From this point of view, Americans are really hateful." ”

Wei Xiong smiled slightly: "Politics is like this. ”

After almost an hour, Wei Xiong returned to the living room in a bathrobe, and when he saw the person sitting on the sofa, he couldn't help but smile: "You're awake." ”

Li Zi stood up: "Brother Xiong." ”

Wei Xiong walked over and pulled Li Zi, whose face was much better than just now, to sit down on the sofa: "I slept well, how do you feel?" Still dizzy? ”

Because it's the first time I'm doing an airplane, I may not be used to it.

Li Zi was a little dizzy just now, so Wei Xiong asked her to go to the room to rest. As for why Lai Zi was on the plane? The reason is simple.

Since the first date, Wei Xiong has asked Li Zi twice more.

After that, Li Zi left filming with the film crew of the fourth season of "Sister Over Flowers", and did not return to Hong Kong until Wei Xiong returned from a visit to the mainland.

Because of a sense of freshness, Wei Xiong is quite interested in Li Zi.

And every time Li Zi received a call from Wei Xiong for a date, she did not refuse. After a few dates, Li Zi received several gifts from Wei Xiong.

Includes a diamond necklace, a credit card and a villa.

When accepting these gifts, Li Zi neither refused or accepted them with joy on her face, but behaved very silently.

Wei Xiong could see that Li Zi was very entangled.

In these few dates, each time Wei Xiong would take advantage of some tongues, except for breaking through the membrane at the end, everything he could did was done.

But what their relationship was, Wei Xiong never said.

Is it officially boyfriend and girlfriend? Or is it a lover who can't see the light, or is it just a momentary hobby to play for a few days? Li Zi has no bottom in her heart.

But no matter what kind of relationship it is, it's awkward.

Wei Xiong is a person with a wife and children, and subjectively she wants to pursue a sincere love rather than become one of Wei Xiong's many women.

And yet she was completely out of her control.

Wei Xiong's domineering and aggressiveness is something she can't resist at all. Of course, it is undeniable that she still has a somewhat good impression of Wei Xiong.

Li Zi smiled slightly: "Much better." ”

Wei Xiong gently stroked Li Zi's arm: "Dubai has been built very well in recent years, and you and Qingqing are walking around these days." ”

Hearing this, Li Zi's expression was faintly excited.

This is the first time she has left Hong Kong when she is so old, and the place she goes to is still the rather mysterious Middle Eastern country of the United Arab Emirates, which makes her look forward to it.

At this time, she suddenly blushed and pressed Wei Xiong's hand.

It turned out that Wei Xiong's right hand was stretching along her slender thigh into the skirt: "Don't do this, it's not good for someone to come in and see it." ”

Wei Xiong stretched out strongly: "There is no man, what are you afraid of." ”

Hearing this, Li Zi sighed secretly in her heart, and she could only give up. This is Wei Xiong's domineering, although it makes people's hearts pound, but it also makes people helpless.

can only say how good it would be if Wei Xiong was single.
