Just after noon on August 1, 1990, Han fighters bombed the artillery positions of Ruan Yong's side during the bombing of the Nanban army.

As a hostile party, Du Zhangmen thought that he had heard it wrong, why did the army of the Han State suddenly change its character and start bombing the army of Ruan Yong's side?

Haven't they already colluded together, and the Han air power has been cooperating with Ruan Yong's army against himself and Le Yin's army?

This is not the most amazing, not long after the head of Du heard a loud bang again, apparently a loud noise from a violent explosion, the sound came from Hue City.

Soon a subordinate reported: "Chairman, the arsenal in Hue City has exploded, and it was bombed by Han planes. ”

Master Du opened his mouth wide in shock, and he didn't speak for a while.

After a long while, Master Du woke up from the shock and grabbed the phone next to him to contact Li Yan.

"Commander Li Yan, do you know that Ruan Yong's artillery was blown up by Han planes? Just now, Han planes blew up Ruan Yong's arsenal again. ”

"yes, I just got the report, too. Why did the Han Kingdom suddenly attack Ruan Yong, didn't they always help Ruan Yong deal with us before? ”

"I don't know the specific details, probably the interests of the two sides have not been discussed, and now they have turned their faces into enemies."

"Well, it's possible. Hehe, Nguyen Yong's army now has no artillery to cooperate, and the arsenal has been blown up again, and this guy is not far from death. ”

"Well, Commander Li, I contacted you for this matter. Taking advantage of the end of Ruan Yong's artillery, our two armies will kill Ruan Yong in one go. At three o'clock in the afternoon, we launched a general attack at the same time, what do you think? ”

"Okay, at three o'clock in the afternoon, the two armies will act at the same time and kill Ruan Yong."

"Commander Lai, we have to step up our actions, I heard from some refugees that there is an army called the People's Front in the south that is attacking the north, and if we get rid of Nguyen Dyong, we will also jointly deal with this army."

"Well, I've heard it too, it seems to be the nature of a guerrilla. At first, I didn't take it seriously, but who knew that this guerrilla force was also coming in the direction of Hue, and it seemed that it was also ambitious. ”

"It doesn't matter if he has ambition or not, as long as he solves Ruan Yong before they arrive, even if they come, they are still looking for death, a guerrilla army, how much energy can they have."

The situation of the civil war in Nanban was changed by the accidental bombing of the Han air force, and it turned in favor of the allied forces.

The two sides hit it off and reached an agreement to take the opportunity to destroy the hapless Ruan Yong.

On 1 August 1990, negotiations between Iraq and Kuwait on the oil issue broke down.

Since the situation of negotiation could not solve the problem, Saddam Hussein in Iraq decided that it must be resolved by force, and the fuse of the Gulf War had already been lit by Saddam.

After the end of the Iran-Iraq war, Iraq had to face serious problems at home.

The war is devastating, and Iraq must rebuild its damaged infrastructure, but in order to do so, it must first pay off its debts incurred in the Iran-Iraq war.

Iraq's debts for the Iran-Iraq war totaled $80 billion, of which $370 were owed by Arab allies, emirates, most notably Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.

If Iraq were to repay its debts, it would have to wait a little longer to rebuild their houses, which meant that they would have to look to European creditors for debt relief.

Iraq never took the emirate's arrears seriously, because in their understanding they were not debts, but rights.

In any case, Iraq is a large oil producer, and there is still a way to pay for the losses; Namely, to sell oil.

At the end of the war, the price of a barrel of crude oil was $17.

Even at this price level, it is difficult for Iraq to pay off its interest by selling oil, which is rising at an alarming rate.

The problem is that damn Kuwait and the UAE are cheating on quotas, in other words, overproduction, which leads to a drop in oil prices.

If Iraq wants to solve its problem by selling oil, it cannot bypass Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates.

Saddam Hussein must find a way to get Kuwait to cooperate, otherwise everything will be in vain.

It is puzzling why Kuwait and the UAE would do this.

Kuwait is a small country close to Iraq, with a population of only a few hundred thousand people, and the UAE has a smaller population.

Kuwait is next to Iraq, and it doesn't seem like they need to offend Iraq, a relative power, for the sake of making a lot of money.

Isn't it afraid of provoking Iraq?

But now they are selling oil wherever they can sell it, to anyone who wants to buy it, and at almost any price they can sell.

It seems to be consciously working against Iraq to keep oil prices as low as possible.

Iraq, on the other hand, has just defeated Iran, the once monster of the Persian Gulf, a country dedicated to spreading its revolution to the Gulf countries, many of which have large and growing numbers of uncontrollable Shiites (most notably Kuwait).

Iraqi Saddam Hussein presented himself in the war as a boycott of the Arab world in the east.

Now, having won the war, he expects to be rewarded by the Arab world.

However, it turned its head and found itself troubled by the countries it had believed would support it.

This is completely different from what Saddam Hussein had in mind, and he thought that the Arab world should be grateful for the victory over Iran.

The problem now is that no one is thanking him, or even tearing him down.

At this time, Saddam Hussein was standing in front of the Arab world as a victor, and he must have been a little proud and even a little arrogant in his heart.

Tiny Kuwait didn't buy it, and Saddam's anger was inevitable.

However, after all, Saddam Hussein is the president of a country, and he still made some efforts.

In June 1990, Saddam Hussein asked then-President George W. Bush to use his relations with Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates to stop overproduction.

However, to Saddam's surprise, Bush refused, saying that these were monarchies and that he could not interfere.

This is all nonsense, and it is because of the monarchy that it cannot be interfered with?

The United States is constantly interfering in global affairs and exercising hegemony, and the role of this international police is their own.

The fact that the United States does not intend to take action in this region to persuade Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates to raise oil prices has aroused doubts in Saddam's mind.

This suspicion was further reinforced by Kuwait's subsequent actions, which claimed that the money given to Iraq during the war (in the form of relief assistance) was not a right as Iraq believed to be, but a debt.

As a result of Kuwait's statement, the European Bank cancelled its negotiations with Iraq on debt relief.

How could they do that?

Kuwait's statement added billions of dollars to Iraq's debt overnight, and Saddam's face turned green.

In order to ease the controversy, Saddam summoned the ambassador of the United States, Epel Grapi, and hoped that she would mediate.

This incident shows that in Iraq's view, the United States is actually the real behind-the-scenes manipulator.
