"Still haven't figured it out?"

Wang Dong looked at Yunlong without moving, because he had already figured out a truth, in front of Yunlong, it was always wrong to keep a low profile.

"It is clear that the civil war in Iraq is actually the result of the struggle between Saudi Arabia and Iran, and it can be said that the full-scale outbreak of decades-old feuds between the two countries. Razak is the spokesman for Saudi Arabia, and Karim can only fully turn to Iran. Do you think the above will choose a side for our little deal? The amount of arms we sell to Saudi Arabia in a year is less than the amount of oil China imports from Saudi Arabia in a month, and Iran is already China's third largest source of oil and natural gas. If it were you, would you choose billions of dollars in arms every year, or energy that is related to the national economy and people's livelihood? Neutrality is ideal, and even if the battle becomes clear, the above will not easily change its current position. ”

"So you are encouraging Saudi Arabia to go to Pakistan?"

"Benefiting others and benefiting oneself, why not?" Yunlong smiled and said, "Pakistan has a territorial dispute with Iran, and Iran has been secretly supporting Shiites in Pakistan and causing trouble for the Pakistani authorities. In previous years, Iran was even pumping weapons to extremist groups in Pakistan. Because it is insignificant, the outside world is not very concerned about the dispute between the two countries. ”

"If you say that, there will be no problem on the Pakistani side."

"The premise is that you can get enough benefits."

Wang Dong was slightly stunned and locked his brows.

"Pakistan has always reaped a lot of benefits from Saudi Arabia as a financier, and the military aid alone is billions of dollars a year. There is no problem in providing weapons, but Pakistan's family foundation is not strong enough, and sending some out will inevitably reduce the combat readiness of the Pakistani army. ”

"With Saudi Arabia's usual style, it may not necessarily ask Pakistan to provide weapons and equipment free of charge."

"So, how much is Saudi Arabia willing to spend on second-hand weapons for the Pakistani army, and how many weapons can Pakistan buy with this money?"

Wang Dong was secretly surprised, this is indeed a key question.

"So, we have to let Mura go back."

"In that case, I'll make a trip myself."

"Not now, you have to stay in Riyadh and be in command."

"With you, there is also the fourth sister ......"

"It is clear that Crown Prince Mohammed only trusts you."

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

"Tomorrow, you have to tell Crown Prince Mohammed unequivocally that if you want to act, you have to hurry, because Razak will not last long."

"What do you mean?"

"Without outside aid, Razak couldn't hold out for even three months. Even if you take action now, three months will be intense. ”

"You're saying that the only thing Razak can count on now is Saudi Arabia?"

"What do you say?" Yunlong sighed and said, "Who cares about the Iraqi civil war?" The war has been going on for decades, the country has long since been in ruins, and after the assassination of Saeed, no one believes that stability in Iraq will be restored anytime soon. Even if this civil war lasts for 10 years, the situation in Iraq will not be worse than it is now, and it will only be a decade later to restore stability. ”

Wang Dong sighed, this is indeed a fact.

"On the other hand, this civil war can bring benefits to many countries."

"Benefits?"

"In just two days, international oil prices have soared by 20 percent, and the vast majority of institutions believe that they will break through the $100 per barrel mark by the end of the month."

As soon as Yunlong said this, Wang Dong understood.

"Saudi Arabia is an oil producer, Iran is too, and Russia and Venezuela, whether they have money or no money, as long as they are oil exporters, they can benefit from it, and the United States and Britain are oil exporters, and the shale oil industry in the United States will be the number one winner, and the United Kingdom has the North Sea oil fields. For oil-importing countries such as France and Germany, it can also benefit, because low oil prices have stagnated the oil industry for more than a decade, and when oil prices rise, many oil companies have to replace equipment, so they need to import from these countries and bring orders to factories in these countries. As long as the price of oil reaches the level before the global financial crisis, China will have to pay trillions of dollars more for oil imports every year, and the oil industry, such as logistics and transportation, will inevitably suffer heavy losses. ”

Wang Dong sighed and didn't say anything more.

Obviously, this is precisely the key to China's hope that the situation in Iraq will return to stability as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, China's influence in the Middle East is limited.

"What do you think can be done to bring this civil war to an end as soon as possible?"

Wang Dong was slightly stunned, and looked at Yunlong incomprehensibly.

"An arms embargo? No kidding. Most of Saudi Arabia's arms come from the United States and European countries, and weapons and equipment can be purchased from Western countries at any time. Iran also imports weapons and equipment mainly from Russia, and has a military industry capable of producing weapons such as firearms. ”

"Sanctions?"

"Do you think that the UN Security Council will be able to adopt a resolution on sanctions against the warring parties in the short term? Of course, the targets of sanctions are also direct participants in the civil war in Iraq. With Russia and the United States in place, it is absolutely impossible to pass any sanctions resolution against Iran and Saudi Arabia. ”

"What's the solution?"

"Of course there are, and there are two."

Wang Dong was stunned for a moment, obviously not understanding what Yunlong meant.

"One is to let one side win quickly, but now it seems that it is almost impossible, after all, when it comes to face, Saudi Arabia and Iran will not easily give up their spokespeople."

"What's the other way?"

"There are no starving to death, only those who are dying."

Wang Dong was taken aback, he heard the meaning of Yunlong's words.

"It's like being violated, and if it's useless to struggle and resist, then pray for it to end soon."

"Fourth Brother ......"

"Of course, this metaphor is not very appropriate." Yunlong smiled reluctantly and said, "However, the meaning is not wrong. Saudi Arabia and Iran have had a grudge for decades, one wants to dominate the Middle East with the banner of anti-American, and the other wants to maintain the legitimate dominance of the royal family, and the outbreak of conflict is an inevitable result. The longer it drags on, the more difficult it will be to resolve. It is not an ideal way to compete through this kind of spokesperson war. ”

"It's the Iraqis who suffer."

"Something to do with you?"

Wang Dong rolled his eyes, a little speechless at Yunlong.

"Even if there is no civil war, do you think Iraqis will be able to live happily ever after? Why did Saeed choose Karim as his successor? Even if he hadn't been assassinated, he would have been succeeded by Karim a few years later, and then a war would have been waged against the Kurds. ”

Wang Dong smiled bitterly and sighed, he knew that Yunlong was not talking nonsense.

At this time, Yunlong got up and walked to Wang Dong's side, grabbed his shoulders and said: "The reality is so cruel, I am glad that I am not Iraqi, and I am even more glad that our motherland is getting stronger and stronger." Don't think too much about it, go and rest early, and you have to go to see the crown prince tomorrow. ”
