Before the official armistice, British Prime Minister John Major went to Kuwait to seek the maximum benefits for his own enterprises, becoming the first head of government to visit Kuwait after the outbreak of the war.

The slogan of the Parisian side was: "France cannot be left behind!" ”

The French government not only invited representatives of the Reconstruction Commission to Paris, but even the Minister of Foreign Trade personally led the "Reconstruction Working Group" to Kuwait.

The two Germanys had just been reunified, and East Germany was such a big mess to be cleaned up, and the Kohl government was so busy that how could it have the time and energy to go into battle shirtless to grab orders like them?

West German companies and associations complained so much that even the most influential newspaper in Germany and the largest circulation in Europe, Bild, lashed out at the Kohl government's "inaction" under the headline "German companies are already paying the price for the government's diplomatic ambiguity."

The crowd was so excited that the federal government had to take some action.

As soon as he received the news from the Minister of Environment and Nature Conservation Dietrich, Chancellor Kohl immediately asked the Federal Foreign Trade Office under the Ministry of Economy and Technology to immediately organize representatives of several major associations to study the plan proposed by NB Electric, and make the best use of the opportunity to extinguish the fire so that German companies could squeeze in.

After more than a day of heated discussions, the company's plan was suddenly elevated to a government action.

With the consent of the company's largest shareholder and chief engineer, Daniel, president of the European region, Dr. Klinsmann, director of the NB laboratory in Berlin, and Steyr, chairman of NB Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and other NB electrical executives, Prime Minister Kohl summoned the Kuwaiti ambassador to Germany with the latest plan that had just been developed.

At the same time, the Minister of Environment and Nature Conservation, Dietrich, and the German Ambassador, who had just arrived in Kuwait, frequently sought to meet with senior Kuwaiti officials, including the Emir, the Prime Minister, the Deputy Prime Minister, the Minister of Oil and the Minister of the Interior.

The Germans, who had always been known for their rigidity and rigidity, went so far as to claim that they could help Kuwait extinguish the oil conflagration within four months.

The emir couldn't believe it. The Crown Prince and Prime Minister expressed skepticism about this. After all, the fire was too big. So much so that experts at home and abroad almost unanimously believe that it will take at least three years to completely extinguish it. It is very straightforward to see it as another trick to grab a reconstruction order, and although the German government jumped up and down, their good intentions did not attract the attention of senior officials of the Kuwaiti government except for Deputy Prime Minister Sabah.

NB Electric is mentioned many times in the program, they have already created a miracle in the history of engineering, why can't they create a second?

If the extinguishing time could be reduced to four months, it could save Kuwait at least $50 billion in damage, and Deputy Prime Minister Al-Sabah decided to meet the young Hong Kong engineer to find out what good ideas he had that even American experts could not handle.

"Mr. Zhang. Please wait, Your Excellency the Deputy Prime Minister will be here shortly. ”

The deputy prime minister is not the head of state, and the charter is not a diplomat, so the meeting is arranged at Dasman Palace instead of Poplar House.

Along the way, ruins and dense craters can be seen everywhere, and while stroking the craters on the wall, the charter asked solemnly: "Sir, this is where Prince Fahd sacrificed his life for the country?" ”

The palace attendant nodded slightly, and said sadly: "Yes, when Iraq invaded. His Royal Highness was furious when he heard the news of Iraq's treacherous and large-scale invasion. Put life and death aside, jump in the car and go straight to the palace.

When they arrived at the palace, they saw that the flames were already raging, and black smoke was rising above the palace, and a fierce battle was going on. Most of the hundreds of palace guards had lost their lives, with only a small group of guards holding a corner to put up stubborn resistance. He did not hesitate to take command and lead his two sons into battle together.

The Iraqi invaders have launched fierce attacks on this place again and again, but Prince Fahd and his two sons have always insisted on staying here. Soldiers, tanks, and armored vehicles from both sides of the war fought a tug-of-war across the outer wall. Iraqi soldiers rushed in, were beaten out, rushed in again, and were beaten out again, and so on and so forth, and the battle was fierce.

The prince's two sons, armed with rifles, personally went to the line of fire to kill the enemy, and both were killed in battle. The prince himself was wounded in many places in the fierce battle, and finally ran out of ammunition, and fell with his two sons next to the stairs opposite, where the battle was fiercest and held out for the longest......"

The country is hated by the family, and the attendant can't talk about it anymore. hurriedly turned his back, for fear that the guests would see him crying.

Respected and remembered, Prince Fahd died at the age of 45 and dedicated his life to sport, serving as President of the Kuwaiti Olympic Committee and the Olympic Council of Asia, as well as as serving as a member of the IOC and Vice President of the International Football Association.

His death shook the international sports world.

The IOC announced its tribute to him in Switzerland on August 3 last year, and the BJ Asian Games opened the flag at half-mast.

The emir and his entourage fled to save the country's vitality, and those who did not leave resolutely chose to fight, and almost none of them surrendered to Iraq.

Prince Fahd's father and son were killed in the battle, and the Minister of National Defense, Sheikh Fahd. Nuwaf. Ahmed has been holding on to the Ministry of National Defense building, directing soldiers to fight the Iraqi army. With the cooperation of tanks and aircraft, the Iraqi army frequently launched attacks. The building was riddled with bullet wounds, was riddled with smoke and smoke, and the bodies of soldiers on both sides of the fierce battle could be seen everywhere.

When the guards were deadly wounded, the Iraqi army finally occupied the Ministry of Defense. Since then, Nuwaf has disappeared. Legend has it that he was wounded and hospitalized, and there is also news that he died honorably in battle, but there is no conclusive news until now.

Throughout the resistance to Iraq's invasion, more than 600 Kuwaitis were killed and thousands wounded. The royal Sabah family alone has six people who have sacrificed their lives for the country.

It is worth mentioning that Iraq captured a number of well-known Kuwaiti figures, among whom was Kuwaiti Information Minister Mubarak. Al-Sabah and Kuwaiti opposition leader and former Speaker of the Parliament, Weal-Ahmed. Satun, trying to force them to come forward and organize a puppet regime.

But no matter how hard and soft it was, no one agreed. They said: "Although we have differences of opinion with the emir, we cannot betray the country because of this." "Mubarak. Al-Sabah was severely beaten for this. Later, he escaped from prison in a legendary way. Flee to Saudi Arabia on a camel across the desert.

Ahmed. Sutun's whereabouts are unknown. He is said to have been killed.

The so-called provisional government had to be headed by Saddam's son-in-law in the end. Later, the "Kuwait Television Television" was even more ridiculous, and although the announcers wore Arab robes according to Kuwaiti custom, it was discovered that they had been appearing on Iraqi television programs and were clearly not Kuwaitis.

There is no leading party, there are no traitors, the charter is full of emotion, and I secretly think that the Kuwaitis still have backbone!

I'm thinking nonsense. The future emir strode in, clasped his hand, and said apologetically, "Mr. Zhang, I've kept you waiting. ”

"Mr. Deputy Prime Minister, I've just arrived."

One has to deal with national affairs, and the other has to be busy repairing the power supply and water supply network in the city, so he has no time to be polite, so he sits down and gets straight to the point.

"The vortex fire-fighting equipment has been tested many times in the NB laboratory, and the technology is mature and can be put into use. But there are almost no rivers and lakes in your country. Until then, the issue of water must be addressed, at least for now. Water is the most effective means of firefighting. That's why we're putting water first in our plan, and we're trying to use pipelines to flood seawater as much as possible. The existing ones are directly used, the damaged organizations are repaired, the temporary erection is not there, and the operation is uninterrupted 24 hours a day......

Carefully planned, reasonably arranged, and organized and implemented like a factory assembly line. Mohammed is responsible for temporary electricity and logistical supply, NB Industrial Manufacturing is responsible for pipeline maintenance and erection, firefighters are responsible for professional fire extinguishing, and blowout control team is responsible for finishing, so as to maximize the utilization rate of every firefighter and every firefighting equipment. ”

Having witnessed a successful emergency repair of a power plant, water plant and power grid, Deputy Prime Minister Al-Sabah was convinced of the organizational and coordinating skills of the man in front of him, and the key fires were so large that many of them were as high as 20 stories high, and even if the water arrived, they would not necessarily be extinguished.

After listening to the concise introduction of the charter, Sabah asked suspiciously: "Mr. Zhang, can the turboblast firefighting equipment really control the fire of an oil well in more than ten seconds?" ”

"Yes, we can do an experiment."

Gazing into his eyes, he added meaningfully: "Mr. Deputy Prime Minister, Mr. Adair is a well-deserved expert in the fire protection of oil wells, and his professional advice will be very useful in dealing with a fire in a certain oil well, but we are dealing with more than 700 oil wells. To use an inappropriate analogy, it's like having a valiant lieutenant command a massive battle, he may win every small battle, but he is likely to lose a war, and time is the measure of victory in a firefighting battle. ”

The loss is as high as more than 100 million US dollars a day, and the importance of time Sabah knows better than anyone else, weighs it again, and looks up and says: "Mr. Zhang, how about taking an oil well in the name of NB Laboratories and trying it?" It is purely scientific research and does not involve commercial purposes, but we will compensate for the corresponding expenses in other ways. ”

The famous "Hell Warrior" Red. Adair is not only the head of the "Red Adair" fire company, but also represents the Red Adair fire company, Poz. Ketz Ltd., Blowout Controls Ltd., and the U.S.-controlled Calgary Security Command Company of Canada.

In the firefighting contract signed just a few days ago, he was also appointed as the chief firefighting consultant for the Kuwait oilfield firefighting, given his extensive experience in oil well firefighting.

The interests of the United States should be taken into account, and the firefighting expert should not be offended, and the charter can understand his distress and say: "Mr. Deputy Prime Minister, I know what you are worried about, so I accept your proposal." But after the success of the trial, please arrange for us to work with Red. Mr. Adair, along with representatives of three other fire companies, sat down to talk and was confident that they would be reasonable on this important issue, which is related to your country's reconstruction and global pollution. ”

"They might offer to buy your equipment."

"The property rights to the equipment belong to the German government, and we only have the right to use it. In addition, it is very clear in the plan that once the oil fires are brought under control, they will be donated to your country. Mr. Deputy Prime Minister, you know, there are seven MiG engines, and if you want, you can disassemble seven, and I don't think any country other than Germany can do that. ”

It is impossible to retrofit and then install it back, and to scrap 14 MiG fighters at once, even the Soviet Union may not be willing to do so. Not to mention that retrofitting requires not only technology, but also time.

Sabah realized the German government's determination to win orders for German enterprises, and thought that if the fire was extinguished one day earlier, the oil would be sold one day earlier, and now spending billions of dollars more would be able to recover tens of billions of dollars in losses, so he said: "Mr. Zhang, if the vortex firefighting equipment can really extinguish the fire in the shortest possible time, and if your company and your company's partners can have the same efficiency as repairing power plants and power grids, I think the Emir and the prime minister will definitely consider the issue of the firefighting budget." ”

It is easy to talk to people who understand, and the charter focused on it, and said with a pun: "Mr. Deputy Prime Minister, if your country can really do this, I think Mr. Adair and his friends will not have any opinions." (To be continued......)
