"Actually, the Iraqi civil war was the trigger."

Wang Dong's brow jumped a few times, and he had a similar opinion.

Yunlong sighed and said: "It's just that if we look at the long term, our development speed is too fast, our development momentum is too good, and the globalization strategy we have promoted over the years has posed an extremely serious threat to traditional powers, especially the United States and Japan. ”

"Challenge, huh?"

"It can be said to be a challenge, but in the eyes of the United States and Japan, it is actually a threat. In this, our relationship with Pakistan is key. ”

"What?"

"To be precise, it is Pakistan's construction achievements over the years that have played an excellent role in promoting our successful experience. Take Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries as an example, which one has not seen Pakistan's achievements and begun to believe in our experience? ”

"This ......"

"If in a few years, when Pakistan has established a relatively complete industrial system and become an industrial country, will more countries believe in us, so as to follow Pakistan's example and carry out more comprehensive and in-depth cooperation with us, so as to become our friendly countries?"

Wang Dong let out a long sigh, this is the reality.

"Of course, if there had not been a civil war in Iraq and we had not intervened, that day might have come a little later." Yunlong sighed again before he said, "Over the past two years, the changes that have taken place in the positions of Saudi Arabia and other Arab League countries are actually known to everyone. Although Saudi Arabia still maintains good relations with the United States on the surface and has dealings with European countries, Saudi Arabia has already bet on us in the future construction of the country. In the past two years, we have won almost all of Saudi Arabia's infrastructure projects, and our direct investment in Saudi Arabia has exceeded 100 billion US dollars, which is building Saudi Arabia into an industrial powerhouse in the Gulf region. Although the population of Saudi Arabia is far less than that of Pakistan, the conditions in Saudi Arabia are better, especially in terms of the quality of its citizens. Of course, there are also problems, but under the leadership of Crown Prince Mohammed, Saudi Arabia's industrialization has been a general trend. ”

"Saudi Arabia is a small country."

Yunlong smiled faintly and said, "In the Gulf region, Saudi Arabia is not a small country. More importantly, Saudi Arabia is the leader of the Arab League. In addition, Saudi Arabia has officially adopted our currency for oil trade since last year. Soon, after several other major oil-producing countries complete adjustments, the dollar's oil hegemony will be completely over. At that point, it will no longer be the United States that dominates the international energy market. ”

Wang Dong frowned a few times, this must be an extremely critical factor.

"To put it more thoroughly, when we start to get involved in the Middle East, the whole Middle East will change and the rules of the game will have to be reformulated. At that time, the United States will lose not only oil, not only financial hegemony, but more important international influence. Imagine if the United States can't even control the Middle East, and if it can't even protect Israel, how can it control where, and who can it protect? ”

"This ......"

"And, of course, Iraq, especially the post-war reconstruction that we are doing in Baghdad and Basra, and the movement and scale are scary enough."

Wang Dong was slightly stunned and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The incident that Yunlong said has little to do with Huaxia, but with D&F companies, to be precise, with the companies controlled by Wang Dong.

"All in all, what we need now is a few years to prove our strength in construction and development, so as to win the trust and support of more countries. For the United States and other Western countries, the problem that needs to be solved now is actually to prove that we do not have the ability. ”

"Proof?"

"If Pakistan, which is a model, is defeated, who will believe us?"

"This ......"

"You know, we are helping Pakistan first, not only because Pakistan has enough people, but also because Pakistan has the best relations with us, but also because Pakistan is a typical secular country with a strong influence in the Islamic world. If we can prove through Pakistan that Islamic countries can also become industrial powers, what will other Islamic countries think? ”

Wang Dong nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what Yunlong meant.

"It can be said that we are using Pakistan as a model construction, which is paving the way for entering the Middle East."

"In that case, the United States should know that we will not be able to give up Pakistan under any circumstances, and we will even fight for Pakistan if necessary."

"And then?"

Wang Dong was stunned for a moment, obviously not reacting.

"Leaving aside whether there is a reason to fight for Pakistan, and even if there is, can we really send troops to the war, or can we really take this opportunity to defeat India? In other words, what good will it do us to defeat India, and what can it bring us? ”

"Isn't it good?"

"There must be, but it may not be worth the loss."

"What loss?"

Yunlong let out a long breath before saying: "Our friendly relations with Pakistan are, in essence, because we all need each other, because we both see India as a threat. Of course, for us, India is not an adversary at all, let alone a threat. However, we certainly cannot deny that it is precisely because of India's existence that Pakistan attaches great importance to its relations with us. ”

"So, if India is defeated, there will be no need for Pakistan to cooperate with us?"

"If it's now, that's true. However, if it is ten years from now, it may not be so. ”

"Why?"

"After industrialization, Pakistan will inevitably integrate into the economic circle dominated by us, and the mainstream of construction will also be formed in Pakistan. At that time, even if there is no common enemy, under the guidance of the strategy with development and construction as the core, Pakistan will still maintain good relations with us, and even rely on us even more. Now, I'm afraid that may not be the case. ”

After pondering for a while, Wang Dong nodded slightly.

"From this point of view, we certainly have no reason to send troops against India at this time, let alone provoke a war between India and Pakistan. Since this is something we do not want to see, then the United States and other Western countries will definitely work in this direction. Of course, Japan is a very important factor in this, and even the dominant player, after all, India is extremely valuable to Japan. ”

"Japan?"

"Who do you think is the biggest winner in the war between India and Pakistan?"
