It is said that it is serious, and it is indeed serious. ※%top※%point※%small※%say,x.

But there is still a big difference from what is generally said to be serious.

That is, in the face of this sheet of newspapers from previous months, Jester did not look at the contents, but stared directly at the headlines of the most prominent pages.

After seeing the headline he was interested in, he pulled the newspaper out of it and set it aside.

Although Jester flipped through it quickly.

But, after all, the base of this large stack of newspapers is very large, even if he reads one in five seconds, these hundreds, he needs to read more than an hour, and his eyes will be very tired.

In fact, after Jester stared at it with such eyes wide for half an hour, his eyes hurt a little.

After resting his eyes for a while, he was also a little tired of this way of carefully looking at the titles one by one, but he was not very good at telling his subordinates that he wanted to be - excellent - excellent - small - say - more - new - the most - fastest - WWW.UUXS.CC - to find something.

So, he picked up the newspaper he had chosen earlier and read it first.

These newspapers are all reporting on the current situation in the Middle East.

It can be said that the current situation in the Middle East is like a powder keg, and tensions between the United States and Iraq have reached the point of saber rattling.

In the end, he drew his sword directly.

In July, the negotiations between Iraq and Kuwait on the issue reached an impasse, and on 1 August, the two sides announced that the negotiations had broken down, followed by Iraq's invasion of Kuwait and the occupation of all Kuwait in a short period of time.

You know, the United States had declared Kuwait under his protection before.

Iraq's move is simply a naked slap in the face, which has now forced the Soviet Union to the brink of collapse and faced the face of the United States, which is invincible in the world.

But it's not like the United States hasn't done nothing.

On the very day that Iraq announced the breakdown of its negotiations with Kuwait, US President George W. Bush condemned Iraq's actions as "naked aggression." "posed a real threat" to the national interests of the United States, and announced the freezing of all Iraqi and Kuwaiti assets in the United States.

Immediately, the very next day, the same day that Iraq brazenly invaded Kuwait, the United States launched Operation Desert Shield, a defensive operation to prevent Iraq from invading Saudi Arabia. The two US Navy fleets, led by the USS Eisenhower and the USS **, entered the combat area and successively increased their troops in the Middle East, and so far they have stationed 500,000 troops.

Jester found more than a dozen newspapers of various major newspapers in the past few days. Read it carefully.

From the words on these newspapers, you can see how dire the situation was, or rather, how dire the situation is now.

Also on the same day that Iraq invaded Kuwait, the United Nations issued a new resolution.

By a vote of 14 in favour, none against and one abstention, the Security Council condemned Iraq for violating the Charter of the United Nations and demanded the withdrawal of its troops.

The UN Security Council has issued 12 resolutions condemning and sanctioning Iraq. These resolutions. This has left Iraq in an extremely isolated position politically, economically, militarily and diplomatically. Resolution 678, which set a deadline of 15 January 1991 for Iraq to withdraw its troops, authorized United Nations Member States to use "one of the necessary means" to implement United Nations resolutions if Iraq did not withdraw before the deadline was reached.

On the next day. The United States and the Soviet Union reached a consensus and issued a "Joint Statement" demanding that Iraq "unconditionally withdraw its troops from Kuwait" and "fully restore Kuwait's sovereignty, legitimate political power, and territorial integrity."

News of sanctions or intimidating resolutions. It was all over the pages of the time.

Much of the content of the following months was related to this.

However, there are still many people who think that war will not happen, because as long as you are not a fool, you should know. The United States, which is now free from the constraints of the Soviet Union, is such a terrible behemoth that no country in the world can contend with it.

In other words, the vast majority of people believe that it is absolutely impossible for Iraq to continue its confrontation with the United States, and that a decision to withdraw its troops will definitely be made before the 15th of next year.

Jester breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at the current oil futures, it is true that there has not changed much, and there are naturally fluctuations, after all, the invasion of Kuwait is not a trivial matter, but Jester knows that judging from the series of resolutions made by the United States so far, war is likely to be inevitable.

Jester, who has memories of the future, naturally knows that the Gulf War is impossible to avoid.

In fact, since the official launch of the Desert Shield program, the farthest and most ambitious strategic transportation plan in the history of human warfare spanning 12,000 kilometers by air and 15,000 kilometers by sea, the United States will never allow it, and this war will come to naught, even if Iraq does not want to fight, the United States will force him to fight.

As for Iraq, there is no need for the United States to force it, they themselves want to continue

Because Iraq is now immersed in the phantom of being the first power in the Middle East and the fourth military power in the world, and they also believe that they have the most advanced equipment of the Soviet Union in the world.

However, Jester knows that this qiē thing is completely vulnerable in the face of the air-ground integration war model that the United States is about to show, like papier-mâché.

Come to think of it.

Jester dialed Sandy directly. Will's call.

During this time, Sandy. Will is also busy, and he is busy restructuring the Commercial Credit Corporation to form the Travelers Group.

From the phone, Jester could hear Sandy. Will's voice was tired.

"Jace, when are you coming to New York? When she came, she took Claudia with her, and Shanna missed her very much. "Sandy. Will has a close relationship with Jester and is Jester's elder, so he first said a few words kindly.

Naturally, Jester was polite to each other.

And then we got to the topic.

"Grandpa Will, have you seen the news lately? About the Middle East. ”

For major events at home and abroad, for Sandy. People like Will who do finance, this must be paid attention to at all times, and they will even have professional consulting and strategy companies to be responsible for analyzing these things, not only these financial giants, oil giants, and arms giants, but also the same.

So, as soon as I heard Jester mention the Middle East, Sandy. Will knew right away what Jester was talking about.

His tone couldn't help but become serious.

"What, Jace, what do you think?" Sandy. Will didn't dare to underestimate Jester, because Jester had made two very astonishing prophecies in front of him, and if it hadn't been for these two astonishing words that had made the Commercial Credit Company a lot of money, I am afraid that he would not have had the opportunity to reorganize the Traveler Group by now.

Of course, if it weren't for Jester's newcomer to him, he wouldn't have had a chance to make a comeback.

Moreover, Jester's way of being willing to be the shopkeeper and entrusting everything to him also hates his appetite.

Overall, Sandy. Will is extremely important to Jester.

"I think war is inevitable." Jester said in a very firm tone.

After hearing Jester's words, Sandy. Will frowned.

"What specific news are you referring to?" For Sandy. For Will, it is not impossible to say that there will be a war, but no one is as sure as Jester said, because the United States is so powerful now, so strong that no one will dare to resist the will of the United States.

"Nope."

Jester answered in the affirmative, but after a slight pause, he immediately added: "However, I just received an order from the sales department, and the order was sent by the Pentagon, and they want us to prepare 300,000 Gameboy handhelds for them in early December." ”

After hearing Jester's answer, Sandy. Will furrowed his eyebrows fiercely.

Then, he continued in a somewhat puzzled tone: "With all due respect, with this alone, I am afraid it is unlikely to conclude that war will definitely happen, as long as Iraq is willing to compromise on this matter, then war will not break out, and even if the Pentagon sends you an order, it may just be a preparation, you know, from August to now, the government has sent more than two million tons of equipment, 400,000 tons of supplies, and more than 400,000 soldiers to the Gulf......"

Not waiting for Sandy. Will finished.

Jester interrupted him with a straight mouth.

"Please forgive me for my weakness, I really don't have any evidence now, but I have a hunch that it is absolutely impossible for Iraq to compromise and make concessions, and war is absolutely impossible to avoid."

"This ......"

Although Jester's words, if they were heard by others, they were extremely weak.

But in Sandy. In Will's ears, this was not the case at all.

You know, Jester's previous few things that were close to prophecy were the premonitions he said, which couldn't help Sandy. Will's unbelievers.

At this time, Sandy. Will was in a trance, remembering what Jester had told him.

"My eyes can see the future."

Suddenly, Sandy. Will's expression tightened, and in his next tone, there was no doubt about what Jester had said before, but he asked in a very eager tone.

"When can you come to New York? At night? ”

Sandy. Will can already see how much profit he will get from the futures market if the war does break out as Jester says. (To be continued......)
