Chapter 257: Calculating America

"Thank you to the book friend for his prostitution, the old handsome man for the two, and the second black man for the big reward for the book friend's lewdness. It's the end of the month, so don't save up your monthly passes. :

After entering the 90s, due to global warming, but also because of the rapid development of China's economy, driven by economic interests, a large area of forests on the land of China was cut down, soil erosion was serious, resulting in the increase of the riverbed and so on, the result is that China will have a large area of floods every three or five places.

In the summer of the Year of the Worm, floods occurred in the old provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the central government, and serious early disasters occurred in each province and autonomous region. Among them, the southern Jiangsu region. After a once-in-a-century flood, more than 200 millimeters of rain fell in just 48 hours. "Heaven above, Suzhou and Hangzhou below" In the late 80s, when the disaster relief chronicle was compiled, there was no record of the disaster in southern Jiangsu, but the flood was recorded.

Throughout the land of East China, you can see everywhere, the crops in the fields, and a large area of fertile land have been soaked in the flood, and even the local towns have become a flooded country. The first floor of the small building, which can be walked through the city by boat, is completely submerged under water, and all kinds of garbage float on the water.

According to preliminary statistics at that time, hundreds of millions of people were affected by the disaster in the country at that time, and the two provinces that were most affected by the disaster accounted for 60 to 70 percent of the total population of the province. More than 2 million homeless people have erected makeshift tents on the river's embankments. According to incomplete statistics, the direct economic losses of the disaster-stricken provinces and municipalities may have exceeded tens of billions of yuan, and if we talk about indirect economic losses, they may exceed 100 billion yuan.

Moreover, the floods in East China were the first time in the history of the People's Republic of China that a large-scale and direct appeal to the international community for assistance was made.

All this naturally left a deep impression on Fang Mingyuan, who was still in school at the time, he originally didn't like to watch news broadcasts, in those days, he always sat in front of the TV, looking at the turbulent and turbid river flowing on the land of China, breathtaking! At that time, he didn't have a clear understanding of the difficulties of the victims, but he felt that the power of nature was really spectacular.

After entering the 90s, Fang Mingyuan was pondering how to make money in the Gulf War on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was also pondering how to remind him that it would be best to inspect the dikes of several major rivers this year and make preparations for flood prevention and disaster relief.

But he racked his brains and couldn't think of any argument that could convince the top brass of the Chinese government that next year there would be a big recommendation that would affect half of China, that he was not a climate authority, nor was he a religious leader, and that this kind of ethereal thing that seemed ethereal to ordinary people, if it did not have enough prestige and convincing reasoning, how could people believe it? And he can't confide it out easily. Otherwise, if there is a real flood next year, his fate will be reduced to a guinea pig in the laboratory.

However, Prince Abdullah gave him this opportunity, and if the experts and authorities of these Arab countries, Europe and the United States could come up with such a report, then the top level of China would inevitably have to react, and the Gulf War would not start until next year. Regardless of whether Kuwait's oil fields will be ignited or not, Huaxia will inevitably be alert to the possible floods next year. Even if it can't cure the root cause, at least it can reduce some casualties and property losses!

Prince Abdullah naturally didn't know that Fang Mingyuan's heart was turning like this, he was stunned for a long time, and his face gradually showed a glow! Huaxia's military strength can be said to be limited, although it has a large army, but the weakness of the navy makes it impossible to put its military liliang into the Middle East. Moreover, due to the meddling of Europe and the United States and China's consistent foreign policy, it is obviously unrealistic to expect China to send troops to exert pressure on Iraq.

However, no Middle Eastern country will ignore China's political influence because of its insufficient military projection capacity. In any case, he is also one of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and has a huge influence among Shijie countries. If he can be drawn into his camp and put pressure on Iraq, Saddam Hussein will inevitably have to consider the consequences of igniting the Kuwaiti oil fields! "Fang! You're so smart! I immediately informed the country and asked these experts to analyze and study the situation you are talking about and make a report on the possibilities! ”

"Let's put it more seriously, so that we can really attract the attention of the top level of our government!" Fang Mingyuan reminded. Anyway, it's not entirely lying, in previous lives, there were many experts and scholars who held such views, and I believe that this proposal will inevitably be supported by many experts.

Prince Abdullah couldn't help but feel a little more hopeful in his heart.

Pulling together the governments of the Middle East countries to exert pressure on European and American countries to pay attention to protecting Kuwait's oil fields, this is what they have already thought of, but this matter can still be related to Huaxia, which they did not expect, just this point, Prince Abdullah felt that his visit to the door this time was worth it.

"But the thing... Lianhuai is in the middle of the year of the Americans and the British! How are we going to convince him, Prince Dula asked. The troops sent to Saudi Arabia today are mainly composed of the United States and Britain, and if they really want to protect the Kuwaiti oil fields in advance, they need to rely on the soldiers of these two countries. However, one of these two countries is far away in the North Sea and the other in the Americas, and even if the Kuwaiti oil field fire causes serious consequences, the harm to them is relatively small.

Fang Mingyuan smiled confidently and said, "Actually, the two of them are the best solution. I believe that as long as you submit your report, Prince Abdullah, and as long as you put a few heavy touches on the dangers of the pollution caused by the oil fires, the Americans and the British will not be able to sit still. ”

"I see!" Prince Abdullah showed a look of sudden realization, Americans and British are afraid of death, once the casualties of the soldiers are too large, it may cause a wave of anti-war in the country, and may even affect the election of the government, so how to ensure the physical safety of the soldiers participating in the war as much as possible is a problem that the commanders of the two ** teams have to seriously consider. If the Kuwaiti-led report can clearly state that this consequence will pose a threat to the health of the soldiers of the United States and Britain stationed in the Middle East, then everything will be easy to do.

In fact, Prince Abdullah didn't know that what Fang Mingyuan was thinking of was the famous "Bay Syndrome" in his previous life!

Gulf War syndrome refers to the thousands of veterans who went to the Middle East to participate in the multinational force after the Gulf War, mainly American and British soldiers suffered from a variety of diseases, they felt muscle pain, long-term fatigue, insomnia, memory loss, dizziness, depressed mood, physical emaciation and sexual dysfunction, etc., due to complex symptoms, unknown causes, these diseases were collectively called "Gulf War Syndrome" by Shijie medical circles According to later incomplete statistics, they had participated in "Desert Storm" About 10,000 U.S. troops in the operation claimed to have the disease. At the end of this year, the US Department of Defense had to officially admit for the first time that veterans of the Gulf War were indeed suffering from the "Gulf War Complex." This incident later caused the US Department of Defense to be anxious and became the focus of news at that time.

"However, Prince Abdullah, you will have to think twice about when and who will submit this report. It would be better to wait for "the UN Security Council to issue a circular on Iraq before formally submitting it to the command of governments and the multinational force." Fang Mingyuan reminded. If it is too early, it may give Liliang the upper hand in the opposition forces in the US and British governments, and then Kuwait's restoration will be far away.

But when the multinational force is assembled, the United Nations Security Council issued a zuihou circular butterfly, even if someone pokes out this abundance, the governments of the United States and Britain are also difficult to ride, postpone or cancel the military jihua, that will only make their own government become the laughing stock of the whole Shijie people, so they can only rack their brains to find a way to avoid the occurrence of the Kuwait oil field fire, such a recommendation, is undoubtedly the most haode.

And if they turn a deaf ear to this matter and dismiss it, then it will also plant an unscheduled bomb for the United States and Britain and other countries in the future, and when the "Gulf syndrome" is confirmed in the future, this will be enough for them to drink a pot of damage to the credibility of the governments of Europe and the United States. Save these people from having nothing to do, always thinking about how to stop the rise of China's national power, and when they think of it, they will point fingers at China's affairs, which will annoy the country's people.

Although Prince Abdullah is only a small prince with a land area smaller than the capital. But when he grew up in the royal family, he soon understood Fang Mingyuan's "meaning"!

"This is Allah's guarantee! Allah willing! "Prince Abdullah's statement that Fang Mingyuan is his noble person has risen to the point of Allah's blessing. Since he met Fang Mingyuan, this good thing has come one after another, and the successes have greatly increased Prince Abdullah's influence in the Kuwaiti royal family, especially the billion-dollar check written by Fang Mingyuan The most important thing has greatly increased the confidence of the Kuwaiti royal family to restore the country! An Oriental, a foreigner, dare to come up with a billion dollars to bet that the Kuwaitis will return to the country, and they, the royal family of Kuwait, have nothing to hesitate about.

And he came to the East this time, originally just to give Kuwait's Asian Games delegation a front stop, and by the way to give Fang Mingyuan a big gift, who would have thought that Fang Mingyuan's "return gift" was so big that it could be said to have saved half of Kuwait. When he sent Fang Mingyuan's speculation back to China, the emir was greatly shocked, and immediately convened a meeting of the royal family, and after discussing it repeatedly, no one dared to pat his chest and guarantee that the mad Saddam Hussein would not do such a detrimental thing.

After that, the economic losses that Kuwait will face as roughly estimated by the experts have completely shocked the entire Kuwaiti royal family!
