Jaber III was stunned for a moment, and looked at Tang Bao with a puzzled look in his eyes, waiting for an explanation of what basis he had for asserting that the American promise was not credible.

Can't believe the promises of the United States? King Jaber III never doubted the sincerity of the United States, and firmly believed that the United States would protect Kuwait's security for the sake of oil. But what if it was really like what Tang Bao said, Jaber III was in a trance, and suddenly woke up, followed by endless panic......

Iraq has more than 1 million elite troops who have experienced the baptism of fire in the eight-year Iran-Iraq war, while Kuwait has only more than 10,000 troops with no actual combat experience.

Without the protection of the United States, Kuwait is as vulnerable as a small ant in the face of Iraq, a "military giant."

"No, no, Kuwait has a closer relationship with the United States than Iraq, and the United States has no reason to indulge Iraq in attacking Kuwait." Jaber III shook his head and muttered to himself.

Hehe.

Tang Bao smiled, Jaber III said firmly, but the confused expression on his face betrayed his true thoughts.

"Mr. Tang, have you heard any other unfavorable news in the United States?" Suppressing the panic in his heart, Jaber III asked calmly.

Tang Bao shook his head and replied: "Although I know many high-ranking officials and congressmen of the US government, how can I, as a foreigner, know about the core secrets of US politics?" To be honest, asserting that the U.S. promises cannot be fully trusted is only the result of my personal analysis and judgment. ”

"I see."

Jaber III breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and secretly sighed that it was a false alarm, and he scared himself. A relaxed smile returned to his face.

Forehead.

As for Tang Bao's analysis and judgment, Jaber III didn't take it to heart at all.

Well?

Seeing Jaber III's reaction, Tang Bao was slightly stunned, and then came back to his senses, thinking secretly, it seems that the emir did not take my reminder to heart.

In fact.

He reminded that Kuwait would not be immune to Iraq's attack. Tang Bao insisted on reminding Jaber III that one was to make friends with each other, and the other was to focus on future post-war interests. He knew that Iraq's invasion of Kuwait would lead to the outbreak of the Gulf War, and that the United States, as the leader and victor of the war, would undoubtedly reap the lion's share of the war's benefits. Giving the United States eye medicine in front of Jaber III is also hoping to extract a little more benefits from the United States.

Therefore.

In any case, Tang Bao wanted to expose the US conspiracy before Iraq attacked Kuwait.

"I don't know much about international politics, but I can't do without the word 'interests'. I believe that as long as there are interests, let alone just a verbal promise, even if it is a signed alliance treaty, tearing it up is a matter of blink of an eye. Tang Bao said with a smile on his face.

"Yes. It is precisely because I understand this that I firmly believe that the United States will protect Kuwait, because Kuwait can give the United States more benefits. Jaber III laughed.

"Don't you want to hear my judgment on the basis of the incredibleness of the American promise?" Tang Bao asked.

Yes.

This is what Jaber III really thinks in his heart, he is not interested in listening to Tang Bao's analysis and judgment, but it is not good to refuse directly, after all, Tang Bao is the Kuwaiti royal family to woo.

"Mr. Tang, you have lived and studied in the United States for many years, and most of your industries are also in the United States, why do you still slander the United States, is it because of the bad relations between China and the United States?"

"No, no, no." Tang Bao hurriedly shook his head and solemnly corrected: "I am a pure businessman, and I have no interest in meddling in the country's political game. And...... I must correct that I do not mean anything to discredit the United States, to remind you that the United States cannot be trusted, and it is entirely out of good faith. I am speaking this only to remind you not to pin all your hopes on the Americans, lest you regret it for the rest of your life. ”

"Oh?"

Jaber III was surprised.

"Kuwait and Iraq are tense, you conclude that there is a US deterrence, Iraq is only intimidating by force, and it does not dare to really attack Kuwait, right?"

Well.

Jaber III nodded.

"However, I believe that Iraq's continued build-up of troops on the border is not just military intimidation, but that the invasion of Kuwait is a necessity. Yes, you heard it right, I asserted that war would definitely break out. Tang Bao said solemnly.

"Impossible!"

Jaber III subconsciously retorted.

"Why can't it be?" Tang Bao asked rhetorically.

"This ...... How dare Iraq? The outbreak of war will lead to a sharp rise in international oil prices, and neither the United States nor Europe will allow this to happen. The United States Secretary of State has personally pledged to protect Kuwait's security and has expressed concern about Iraq's military build-up along the border, and is already preparing for joint naval exercises with the United Arab Emirates in the Persian Gulf. In order to mediate the dispute between the two countries, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak received a personal promise from Saddam Hussein that he would not attack Kuwait during his visit to Iraq. The Saudi King also arranged for us to meet with the top Iraqi leaders in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia......"

Scold.

Jaber III kept listing the reasons for rebuttal one by one, and Tang Bao smiled. It seems to be a refutation, but it is also constantly comforting yourself. Jaber III, who originally swore an oath, was not so firm after Tang Bao's constant interference.

Right now.

There is only one thing Tang Bao has to do, and that is to take the opportunity to completely break his illusions.

"What if the United States acquiesces to Iraq's actions?" Tang Bao directly interrupted Jaber III's words and asked lightly.

Moment.

Jaber III froze.

"Your Majesty, what if the United States acquiesced in or even connived at Iraq's invasion of Kuwait? Without the deterrence of the United States, do you think Iraq will not dare to take action? Tang Bao asked.

The silence that fell in the living room.

Then.

Jaber III was completely stunned, and only one voice echoed in his head - what if the United States acquiesced in Iraq's invasion of Kuwait.

"How is it possible, how is this possible......"

"Heh, how is it impossible? You just admitted that everything is inseparable from interests. Unfortunately, the United States may reap even greater benefits by acquiescing to Iraq's military invasion! Tang Bao said.

Hear the words.

Jaber III was silent, he could be the emir of Kuwait, naturally he was not an idiot, Tang Bao just gave a little pointer, and he figured it out.

By trying to protect Kuwait, the United States can only reap Kuwait's friendship and limited benefits.

On the other hand, conniving at Iraq's military invasion of Kuwait will inevitably cause panic in the Arab world, and the United States can justifiably take advantage of this opportunity to deploy a large number of troops to various countries in the Middle East as a savior to resist Iraq's military invasion and take control of the entire Middle East. Moreover, the United States will not only receive infinite gratitude from the Kuwaiti royal family by sending troops to drive out Iraq, but will also receive a lot of economic benefits.

Compared with the two, it goes without saying which is more important!

"It seems that Your Majesty has also figured out the key." Tang Bao said.

Call.

Jaber III took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, and asked calmly, "Mr. Tang, since you can see the trickiness in it, is there a solution?" ”

"It's hard. The Soviet Union, the only adversary, is gradually weakening, and the United States hopes to reshape a new order in the Middle East. Iraq's invasion of Kuwait is an opportunity for the United States to reshape and control the Middle East! Therefore, no matter how much Kuwait pays, it will be difficult for the United States to change its strategy. Well, the only way is to negotiate with Iraq and make certain sacrifices and concessions to avoid the outbreak of war. Tang Bao groaned.

Concession?

Jaber III felt bitter in his heart and asked helplessly: "Mr. Tang, do you know what rude demands Iraq has made to us?" ”

"......" Tang Bao shook his head.

"First, $14 billion in debt forgiveness; Second, accusing us of stealing the Ravkh oil field and demanding compensation of $2.4 billion, which is secondly, the key is that we want Kuwait to hand over the Ravkh oil field; Third, Kuwait is required to limit oil production and cooperate with the stabilization of international oil prices; Fourthly, it offered to purchase Kuwait's Boubyyan and Waalb islands as their access to the sea; Fifth, I am asked to go to Baghdad in person to apologize. It can be said that every condition is extremely harsh, and we have no way to retreat? ”

Tang Bao's eyelids jumped, and he sighed secretly, Iraq is really a big appetite. As Jaber III said, there is no way back.

"Well, unfortunately, I don't have a good solution. Since it is difficult for both the United States and Iraq to deal with it, I think it is very necessary for Kuwait to prepare for war in advance. Tang Bao said.

"War? Iraq is the number one military power in the Middle East, and we can compete with it......" Jaber III replied helplessly.

"You misunderstood what I meant, it is very difficult for Kuwait to resist Iraq's military invasion, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is difficult to say that the mantis arm is used as a car. Well, my suggestion is to evacuate early to avoid war casualties. The United States connived and acquiesced in Iraq's invasion of Kuwait and only sought an opportunity to control the Middle East, but it would never allow Iraq to completely strategize Kuwait. I am sure that as long as Iraq invades Kuwait, the United States will oppose it and send troops to the Middle East at the first opportunity. Tang Bao said.

"Flee without a fight? How will the people of that country think of our Kuwaiti royal family......" Jaber III was a little difficult to accept Tang Bao's suggestion.

Tang Bao was speechless for a moment, and secretly thought, it's not the same to flee early and late, do you dare to stay and face the Iraqi army? He vaguely remembered that after the outbreak of the Kuwaiti War, several members of the Kuwaiti royal family who stayed behind to resist were killed in battle.

"Uh-huh. The war is ruthless, and your Majesty should consider carefully how to choose, and make arrangements in advance to avoid losses in the war. ”

"Hmm."

Jaber III nodded silently.

Forthwith.

He asked unwillingly, "Mr. Tang, is there really no other way to avoid war?" ”

"This. If it is a business, I can give you all kinds of advice, but this issue is obviously not a financial issue, and I am weak. (To be continued.) )
