Corning, USA.

"Mark, as an American, what do you think about the situation in the Gulf?"

After finishing the business, the conversation in the study entered the map cannon mode, expanding from the IT professional field to the international situation, although this conversation was between a middle-aged uncle and a young girl, but no one thought it strange at this time, and some of Wei Ting's views also surprised the couple...... It's not a ridiculous idea, it's very subtle, maybe that's what makes genius different?

"The situation in the Gulf has been a bit delicate lately." Mark. Ford said.

"It's not just delicate, there will be a war between Iraq and Kuwait in the near future." Wei Ting said with certainty.

Today is 1 August, and if there are no surprises, tomorrow Iraq will blitzkrieg Kuwait and quickly occupy it.

"Impossible, right? Isn't Iraq worried about the reaction of the international community? And Kuwait will not be so easy to occupy. "Mark. Ford said.

"Not necessarily. Iraq was well-armed and well-trained, and with swift Hitler's lightning tactics, it was perfectly capable of occupying Kuwait before the international community could react. Wei Ting said.

To say that the Gulf War between Iraq and the United States in 91 was indeed a dazzle for the whole world. At that time, the Iraqi army was equipped with a large number of traditional Chinese and Soviet weapons...... and Mark. Like Ford, many people originally thought that if the United States really intervened, the war might drag on for several years, just like the American-Vietnamese War, and the United States would be completely mired in this war.

However, everyone never expected that the United Nations forces led by the United States used the F-11 Black Widow stealth bomber to brilliantly avoid Iraq's air defense radar, and the American weapons with precision-guided weapons as the highlight dealt a heavy blow to the Iraqi army equipped with a large number of traditional weapons of China and the Soviet Union, and after only 38 days of efficient raids on Iraq, it took only four days to end most of the ground battles.

It can be said that this was a high-tech local war, which really caused an uproar in the world's military circles at that time. Even more did not pay much attention to modern warfare, and the thinking still stayed in front of the older generation of millet plus rifles, they did not dare to imagine what would have been the result if the target of the United States was themselves at that time?

At the time, however, relations between China and Iraq were quite good, and although the authorities remained silent because of Iraq's actions, they were still in fact oriented towards Iraq...... Condemn the warmongers. (Is it Iraq or the United States?) ）

"Mark, how much money will you get for a bank loan? I mean the maximum. Wei Ting suddenly changed the subject.

Probably the jump was too big, Mark. Ford didn't keep up with Wei Ting's thinking for a while. However, he knew that Wei Ting was not untargeted, so he pondered for a while before saying: "Between 600~7 million." ”

"Okay, just according to this amount, let's make up a little more, 7 million."

The corners of Wei Ting's mouth raised slightly: "Mark, do you have the confidence to make a quick buck?" ”

"Fast money? What do you mean......"

"The situation in the Gulf is bound to deteriorate further, and if nothing else, the United States will certainly launch a military strike against Iraq in the near future, and when the price of oil rises, investing in oil futures at this time will certainly make a lot of money." Wei Ting said in a very affirmative tone.

"No, the pain caused by the Vietnam War has just disappeared, and the Pentagon will not start a war easily, especially that hellish place in the Middle East, which is simply another Vietnam quagmire." Mark. Ford shook his head repeatedly.

"The main purpose of Iraq's occupation of Kuwait is to write off the huge debts owed to Kuwait by seizing Kuwait, and to use this 'treasury' to resolve the serious crisis in the national economy caused by the eight-year Iran-Iraq war.

The seizure of Kuwait can improve the sphere of activity of its navy and the sea lanes for oil exports and other foreign trade, resolve the long-standing border dispute between the two countries and the resulting dispute over oil development in the border areas, and also play a role in deterring the Gulf countries and other Middle Eastern countries, and pave the way for them to compete for leadership in the Arab world and dominate the Middle East region. ”

After saying this, Wei Ting slowed down for a moment and continued: "Iraq's armed occupation of Kuwait will trigger the Gulf crisis and become the direct fuse of the Gulf War. In addition to the fact that this time they are fighting for oil, something comparable to gold, then a natural war will break out sooner or later. It's just a matter of timing.

The United States, Britain, and France will not be willing to achieve Iraq's hegemonic status in the Middle East, and it is inevitable to send troops to participate in the war. For this kind of war, where there is a big advantage if you win and there is nothing to lose if you lose, the Pentagon will not fail to approve it.

As for the Vietnam War quagmire you fear, that's absolutely impossible. Modern warfare is not only about manpower, but also about high-tech equipment. Mark, this time the United States will definitely win the war. ”

"Mark, Jenny, are you interested in working together?" Seeing that the two of them were still digesting what they had just said, Wei Ting asked slowly.

"Wei, how are you going to cooperate?" Seeing that her husband was still pondering, Jenny opened her mouth and asked.

"I have information, you are responsible for the preparation of the money, and then we will split it fifty-fifty."

Wei Ting looked at the two of them sincerely: "In this era, the most rare thing is information, I believe you know that the value of this information is underestimated, but it also includes your operating expenses, and neither of us will suffer." Of course, we can draw up a contract first, and if there is a loss because of this investment, I will be responsible for the loss. ”

Indeed, it was the Fords who really took advantage, after all, their funds were borrowed from the bank, and Wei Ting was also responsible for the loss, and even Jenny had no way to object to this...... Finally, Mark. Ford still chose to believe in Wei Ting, after all, too many impossible miracles happened to her, and he believed that this time should be no exception. However, the Gulf War has not yet begun, and he asked to wait until the war begins before carrying out this plan.

"Of course there is no problem. Jenny, when will the relevant legal documents be completed? Wei Ting asked.

After the affairs in the United States are dealt with, she has to rush back to China, and she doesn't know if her mother can handle those things in the factory.

"It can be done today, tomorrow...... I made an appointment with a lawyer and I was able to complete all the formalities. Jenny replied.
