Chapter 751: Preparing for the Founding of the State

February 1991. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Gradually, the multinational force gained an overwhelming advantage and eliminated Iraq's presence in Kuwait.
February 15th.
Iraq declared its readiness to accept Security Council resolution 660 on a conditional withdrawal of its troops from Kuwait.
February 19.
The Soviet Union put forward four peace proposals, and Saddam Hussein agreed.
February 22.
The Soviet Union further proposed a plan for the withdrawal of Iraqi troops - one day after the cease-fire, the Iraqi army began to withdraw its troops, which was completed within 21 days.
However, the peace proposal was later rejected by the United States.
As at 23 February 1991.
The multinational forces flew nearly 100,000 sorties, dropped 90,000 tons of bombs, launched 288 Tomahawk cruise missiles and 35 air-launched cruise missiles, and used a series of the latest aircraft and various precision-guided weapons to carry out multi-directional, multi-wave, and high-intensity sustained air strikes on selected targets, greatly weakening the Iraqi army's C3I (command, control, communications, and intelligence) capability, war potential, and strategic counterattack capability, causing the Iraqi army's forward troops to lose nearly 50 percent and the rear troops to about 25 percent in the Kuwait battlefield, creating conditions for launching a ground offensive.
During this period, the Iraqi army carried out passive defense, hiding underground, concealing the truth and revealing the false, evacuating foreign countries and other measures to avoid air raids and preserve its strength.
At the same time, the Iraqi army has continued to attack targets in Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain with Scud-Scud--most of these targets in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain are actually smoke bombs, and the Iraqi army can also say that Saddam Hussein's real target is actually only Israel.
The reason why the Iraqi army continues to attack Israel with Scud missiles is that in addition to forcing the multinational forces to prolong the air campaign and dispatch a large number of planes to search for and destroy the Iraqi army's Scud missiles, the main strategic purpose is that Saddam Hussein wants to draw Israel into the war as well.
Those who do not understand the history of the five Middle East wars (also known as the Arab-Israeli wars) may not know why Saddam Hussein did this.
All five wars in the Middle East ended in the defeat of the Arab coalition, which made the countries of the Arab world lose their troops and make the countries of the Arab world the laughing stock of the whole world.
If Israel does enter the war, then the coalition composed mainly of Arab countries will fall apart, and the United States will have no reason to continue fighting, and then there is a good chance that the Iraqi army and Saddam Hussein will win a strategic victory in this war.
It's a pity -
Israel saw through Saddam's purpose and did not want to turn the Gulf War into the sixth Middle East war, so although it was bombarded several times by the Iraqi army's Scud missiles, Israel held back the shock and did not take part in the war.
Therefore, Saddam Hussein and his Iraqi army were doomed to defeat.
February 24 at 4 a.m. local time.
The Multinational Force launched a ground offensive against the Iraqi army - five offensive groups from east to west on the front of about 500 kilometers of the Shako-Saudi-Iranian border.
The Iraqi army continued to fire missiles at Saudi Arabia, Israel, and Bahrain, causing more than 100 US casualties. More than 1,000 mines were laid in the bay, damaging two warships of the US Navy.
February 26.
Saddam Hussein announced that he would accept a ceasefire, and the Iraqi army collapsed immediately.
8 a.m. on February 28.
The multinational forces announced a halt to the offensive, and the 100-hour ground campaign came to an end.
On this same day, the Iraqi army and the coalition forces reached an armistice agreement, and the Gulf War ended.
The Gulf War ended with the International Crude Oil Futures War.
After this period of liquidation, Xu Cun has basically safely withdrawn from the international crude oil futures market -- not counting the funds that have not yet been withdrawn, Xu Cun has already obtained hundreds of billions of dollars in income.
At the behest of Bush Sr., Bush Jr. personally approached Xu Cun.
Then, Xu Cun bought $20 billion in US bonds to support Bush Sr. in dealing with the aftermath of the Gulf War -- this money should also be saved by Xu Cun, and without the Gulf War launched by Bush Sr., where would he have made such a large sum of money?
……
Actually,
On 10 February, four days before the Chinese New Year, Xu Cun took his family back to Xiangjiang for the New Year -- at that time, Xu Cun had already recovered all the principal he had invested in the international crude oil futures market, and had made a profit of more than $50 billion.
Also returning to Xiangjiang with Xu Cun's family were Beckinsale, who took a break from Oxford University, and Theron, who was getting closer and closer to Xu Cun.
This year's Spring Festival is the most extravagant Spring Festival that the Xu family has had over the years.
Xu Cun not only ordered a big feast to entertain relatives and friends, but also gave red envelopes ranging from 20,000 to 2 million Hong Kong dollars to nearly 10,000 bodyguards and nearly 1,000 maids in the name of celebrating the New Year, and this money alone amounted to more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars -- all of which Xu Cun personally handed over to these bodyguards and maids.
On the second day after Xu Cun sent the red envelope, Zhou Lan and the four sisters of Romanova talked to senior bodyguards (such as Li Yuejin, Su Ping, Chen Dayi, etc.), asking them if they would like to join the nationality of Neverland - although Neverland only covers an area of 14 acres, it is a country after all, the twenty-eighth member of the European Union, so it is impossible for this country to be the only one Xu alone, right? Therefore, in addition to his own family, Xu Cun is ready to get some of his company's senior managers, his own bodyguards, and his own maids into Neverland as his own subjects.
Actually-
At this stage, this is a formality, in a place as big as Neverland, except for Xu Cun's family, most of the people who have Neverland nationality will probably never have the opportunity to go to Neverland in their lives.
Moreover, Xu Cun has already negotiated with the central government, and he and some of the subjects of Neverland (people who originally belong to China or Xiangjiang, China) all retain Chinese or Chinese Xiangjiang nationality - in fact, because of his grasp of Canada's economic lifeline, Xu Cun himself has long had Canadian nationality, and even the United States, the Soviet Union, Japan, and South Korea have thrown olive branches to Xu Cun to join his nationality, but these invitations were all declined by Xu Cun.
But-
It is not right to say that the nationality of Neverland is completely useless - people who have entered Xu Cun's Neverland nationality, once they arrive in Neverland or the high seas, Xu Cun, as the king of Neverland, can be regarded as having the power of life and death for them.
In other words, after joining the Neverland nationality, Xu Cun has a constraint on them - a strong constraint.
From the other side, joining the Neverland nationality can also be regarded as showing loyalty to Xu Cun - in terms of personnel appointments and rewards, Xu Cun will inevitably give this part of the people a tilt, such as this New Year's red envelope, but all the bodyguards and maids who took the initiative to join Neverland all got an additional 50,000 Hong Kong dollars in red envelopes and were transferred to the core position.
All in all, Xu Cun has begun to prepare for the founding of the country.
