Chapter 490: The price of oil doubles
Although Hailong was worried about these orders, Petrov, Ye Huairen and others were grinning happily, these orders represented billions of dollars in military procurement. {top} point {small} says 3w.
This is only the first batch, as long as it is a war, how can it end in a short period of time, as long as the war starts, the two sides will form a deep blood feud, and this hatred can only end with the complete end of the life of one party.
Just like the current Magnesium Country and Babylon, the two sides have already fought a blood feud, because the participation of the Dragon King controlled by the Hylong, which completely destroyed the three aircraft carrier battle groups of the Magnesium Country.
Due to the action of the four cold currents in the entire Persian Gulf region, the sea surface is fiercely windy, the sky is full of thunderstorms, ships cannot pass, and aircraft cannot enter, and the ground forces of the Persian Gulf region are already in the most difficult period of no assistance from outside and no morale from inside.
Without the interference of flies in the sky, Qusay played with his life and led 100,000 troops to the base camp of the Magnesium Army in um Qasr and launched a full-scale attack directly.
The general staff of the magnesium country was already crazy at this time, and more than a dozen high-ranking officials, including Bush, looked at the picture of the aircraft carrier being sunk by a black thunder pillar in the video, and everyone felt that the emperor was joking with them, which was completely impossible.
However, now it is indeed happening in front of their eyes, and the three aircraft carrier battle groups have really been destroyed by the power of nature.
Just when everyone was silent watching the video, a secretary ran in in a panic, forgetting even the important etiquette of knocking on the door.
Everyone looked at the secretary with a frown, and Bush asked, "What happened?" ”
The secretary handed over a document to Bush and said: "There is an emergency situation in the front of the war, and Qusay personally led 100,000 troops to storm our army's base camp in um Qasr overnight, and the base camp sent a message for help, if no plane rescue is dispatched, the um Qasr base camp is very likely to fall." ”
Hearing the secretary's words, the coffee cup that Bush had just picked up suddenly fell to the ground. He looked at the secretary in surprise and said, "Aren't we in um Qasr with 30,000 troops, how can we not hold it even one night?" ”
The generals present could not explain in detail to Bush the importance of morale to the armed forces, and at this time the whole world knew that the three aircraft carrier battle groups had been destroyed by the power of nature, so all the officers and men of um Qasr Base Camp also knew that they had no backup, and their morale had fallen to the bottom.
Bush looked at the generals present in astonishment, and after finding that no one answered his question, Bush continued to ask: "Can we send planes from the fleet in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea to provide air support to the base camp right now?" ”
Hearing Bush's stupid question, Admiral Dawn said helplessly to Bush: "Now the dark cloud that destroyed our three aircraft carrier battle groups is still floating over the Persian Gulf and covering the entire southeastern region of Babylon. This kind of thunderstorm aircraft is simply not capable of fighting, and once it enters the entire area, it will definitely be hit down by lightning. ”
Finally hearing someone answer, Bush said: "Then what should we do now, do we see these 30,000 people turned into corpses and prisoners?" ”
Daun nodded helplessly and said, "Sir, I can only tell you that we lost this battle, the base camp is located in the plain area, and there has been no bunker construction before. So, you know the results. ”
Bush was dumbfounded when he heard Dawn's words, and sat down in his chair, if it was true as Dawn had said. In this way, he himself became a sinner of the state.
Raising his head and looking at these generals who bowed their heads and were silent, Bush thought in his heart, it turned out. They already knew that this was the result, and only they thought that there would be no problem with the base camp.
Sitting in the chair, Bush muttered for a long time, and finally Bush stood up. Sighing and said: "Gentlemen, since we have failed this combat mission, let's think of a remedy. ”
Hearing Bush's words, the generals looked at each other and finally began to express their thoughts.
However, all these ideas are useless, because Qusay clearly knows that the dark clouds in the sky are the countdown to the victory or defeat of this war, if he captures the base camp before the dark clouds disperse, then he will win, if he does not capture it, then he will die.
After figuring out all this, Qusay, who launched an attack in the midst of thunderstorms overnight, actually took the lead, really played with his life, and rushed to the front line with his direct guards.
As the so-called general is the soul of the soldiers, the supreme commander is playing with his life, will the soldiers under his command still be afraid of death, um Qasr base camp did not hold on even one night, it was completely defeated, 30,000 troops suffered 5,000 casualties, and the rest were captured.
When Qusai stood in the command center of um Qasr base camp the next morning, looking at the confidential information and drinking coffee, the magnesium army liaison next to him actually rang, Kusai understood English, and heard the non-stop call of Admiral Daun on the phone, Qusai picked up the liaison with a smile and said to Daun: "Hello Your Excellency Daun, I have admired the name for a long time, and I don't know what to advise you when I go down to Qusay, the "Lion of Babylon". ”
Daun, who was holding the liaison device at the military headquarters, heard Qusay's words, looked at Bush and the others blankly, and finally put down the liaison helplessly and said to everyone: "The base camp has fallen. ”
At this point, the country was completely dragged into the quagmire of Babylon, although tens of thousands of magnesium troops were captured, but Bush did not choose peace talks but continued to strengthen the offensive.
However, what Bush did not expect was that the battle would last so long.
Whenever Babylon was about to be overwhelmed, the figure of Helong would always appear on the land of Babylon, either providing weapons or food, ensuring that Babylon was undefeated for 50 years, until Qusay was old and his son succeeded to the throne, and the magnesium country still did not defeat Babylon.
And the seamount, relying on the oil of Babylon, became a huge wealth in the whole world, but this is a story for another time.
At this time, Hailong was in a rage, not for other reasons, but because the major arms dealers in Europe actually wanted to grab business with themselves.
Now the arms trade of the three countries in his hands has changed hands, and Hailong has lost almost $5 billion worth of arms business.
Sitting in his new base camp in Bossaso, Hailong said to Chief Intelligence Minister Makako Fukuda, "Xiangzi, have our men infiltrated the various arms dealer groups?" How's the intelligence gathered? ”
The ninja troops under Makako Fukuda entered the European countries with the heavy money given to them by Hailong after the battle against Barre, and this time it was thanks to the information obtained by a ninja that Hailong knew that the seven large arms companies in Europe had quietly contacted the countries involved in the civil war and sold their weapons at low prices.
Don't underestimate their low-price dumping, weapons are actually not valuable, the real profiteering is actually the sale of ammunition, after equipping a unified model of gun, the bullets used can only be special bullets for this gun.
In this way, the lifeblood of the country's army is controlled by these arms companies, which is the most frightening. So, no matter what, Hilong can't let that happen.
Hearing Hailong's question, Fukuda Makako happily said to Hailong: "Husband, the time for the seven large arms companies to transport weapons has been ascertained, and they will pass through the Suez Canal tomorrow night and arrive in our sea area in the early hours of the morning. ”
Hearing that the other party dared to go through the Suez Canal so desperately, Hilong felt that this was really a godsend, and Hilong turned his head and said to Lilian: "Lilian." Let our pirates be ready for battle, and we will go to sea to rob tonight. ”
Lillian nodded happily.
So, at night, when three cargo ships carrying $5 billion worth of arms passed through Berbera. Unexpectedly, he was robbed by a pirate ship led by Zhang Fan, and robbed three military ships back to the port of Berbera.
Looking at the $5 billion worth of munitions, Helong laughed and said, "Let's just stop the arsenal and do pirate business every day." It's so profitable, haha. ”
They all knew that Helong was joking, and they laughed together.
Seamounts occupy Somalia. It is tantamount to holding the throat of the Gulf of Aden, and if any ship dares to carry arms into South Asia or East Africa for sale without the permission of the seamount, the seamount will not mind letting the other party taste the taste of bankruptcy and bankruptcy.
Because this kind of arms trade is not allowed by the United Nations, these companies did not dare to make a noise when they were robbed, and could only knock out their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs.
However, at this time, these arms had already made Hilong earn tens of billions of dollars, and it was no surprise that the final destination of these munitions was Babylon, and they were all sent to Qusay's hands by Hilong.
This is also the reason why the bigger the battle between the magnesium country and Qusay, the better the weapons and equipment of the Kusai, and later, even the Stinger shoulder-mounted anti-aircraft missile missile is available, which makes the armed helicopters of the magnesium army dare not easily participate in the battle.
Although Qusay did not have the money to buy these arms, the money for these arms was exchanged by Qusay in the name of oil tax, so that Hilong did not have to pay a penny of tax on the three large oil fields in Babylon.
At the end of Ali's side, Hilong had also completed the construction of oil extraction equipment in Babylon, and the three major oil fields plus the oil field on Qeshm Island were a total of four oil fields at the same time.
The daily supply of crude oil has reached millions of barrels, at this time in the world, the price of oil has risen wildly, people in any country in the world know that the war of magnesium country will never lose, at most it will not win, just like Afghanistan, Vietnam and North Korea, even if it loses, it cannot shake the status of the world's largest country.
Therefore, since the start of the Babylonian War, the price of oil has been rising, and the price has reached a high price of 40 US dollars a barrel, but at this time, there was a thunderstorm in the Persian Gulf.
The huge waves and thunder and lightning in the Persian Gulf, coupled with the sunken ships and debris of the three aircraft carrier fleets lying in the bay, made it impossible for oil carriers to enter the port to load oil, which directly led to the inability of Saudi Arabia and other countries to sell oil.
On the other hand, because of the impact of the Babylon War, Venezuela, a major oil country in South America, broke out a large march demanding the resignation of Chawes, and oil workers went on strike, and unfortunately, a hurricane swept the Gulf of Mexico, and three of the world's four major oil-producing regions had problems, which directly led to the world's oil shortage.
The price of oil has doubled from $40 to $80 a barrel in an instant, and now there is oil equal to a lot of money. (To be continued......)
