Chapter 622: Control of Petroleum Resources

"In that case, it seems that our trip has been in vain. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 "I regret that our deal is destined to not take place. ”

Seeing Andre get up and leave, a trace of panic flashed in Flicks's eyes, in fact, what he wanted just now was a little ruthless, his ultimate goal was just to occupy ten percent of the oil exploitation rights, but unfortunately, he made an offer, but the other party did not counteroffer!

However, as a proud Gaul, it seemed that there was a bit of a discount at this time when he pulled people back to sit back and negotiate again, so he could only look at these people and leave the embassy.

Looking at the backs of these people leaving, Flix kept thinking in his heart, the Soviets are eager to stabilize the current situation in Saudi Arabia, so they need to be recognized by the Western world, and in the entire Western world, the one who can recognize them is France, so although this negotiation broke down, however, the Soviets will definitely come again!

"Mr. Ambassador, no, Mr. Ambassador, no!" Just then, an embassy official rushed in.

"What's wrong?" Flicks asked, if it's not good, at most, when there is a war, the embassy can be patronized by mobs, and now that the fighting in Riyadh has stopped, what is there to be sorry about?

"The Soviets, the Soviets' army, landed in Saudi Arabia, and they took control of the four big oil fields of Saudi Arabia, such as the Ghawar oil field, the Ghava oil field!" Said the embassy officer.

The Soviets sent troops!

Saudi Arabia's oil reserves and extraction are high, but the distribution of oil is uneven, and the eight large oil fields in Saudi Arabia are all located along the Persian Gulf coast.

And now, in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, is controlled by the Iraqi army, and when the American army has retreated to the western part of Saudi Arabia, the eastern part of Saudi Arabia is already uncontrolled!

It was in this situation that the USSR sent troops! Several tank divisions of the Turkestan Military District, from Iran, Iraq, around to the east of Saudi Arabia, appeared near the oil fields, completely controlling half of them!

The Soviets, if they really dared to do it, were they not afraid of the condemnation of the international community?

For a while, Flicks's mind was a little confused, theoretically speaking, the Soviets should not have done this, this was simply going to trigger the rhythm of a world war, and on the other hand, the Soviets did this, and they hit the soft underbelly! The Soviets took control of the oil fields in the east, and the Western world, led by the United States, absolutely did not want to think when it would be able to retake it!

It's a signal! The Soviet Union has finally come to the foreground from behind! There is nothing more fucked up than this for the worsening Saudi situation.

The sky is blue, floating white clouds, and below is an endless desert, and in the desert, oil excavators form a steel forest.

This is the Ghawar oil field, located about 500 km east of Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, with proven reserves of 10.74 billion tons and an annual output of 280 million tons, accounting for 30% of the entire Persian Gulf region, making it the world's largest oil field. The oil well is a self-blowing well, and on the high iron shelves, black gold is constantly gushing out of the pipes.

And next to these oil wells, there are troops waiting for them.

"General Andrei, welcome to the Ghawar oil field." With the arrival of a tank, out of the tank, came a tall Soviet soldier, his face was very young, his eyes were extremely sharp.

Andre nodded: "The smell of the air here is really comfortable." ”

The heat wave hit, the air was mixed with the smell of crude oil, whether it was in his previous life or now, Andre was the first time to come to the oil field, and he was very shocked by the grandeur of this scene.

In front of him was the commander of the 5th Guards Division, the troops who were ordered to be stationed here.

"How's the defense going?" Andrei asked the division commander.

"We have deployed anti-aircraft missile systems, and if there are enemy aircraft entering the defense zone, strikes are delivered." The division commander said: "Our tank troops are ready to strike at any time and wipe out the enemy in the desert. ”

Andrei shook his head: "No, the biggest threat we are facing now is no longer the military offensive of the Americans, but the possible multitude of guerrillas, whose weapons in their hands are not tanks, planes, artillery, but rocket launchers, mortars and other weapons, and they are not likely to destroy the oil fields, but to make trouble and disrupt our production." ”

Will the Americans come and fight for the oil fields? Then a direct collision with the Soviet army, that would mean the Third World War! Andrei mobilized his troops into these oil fields in order to firmly control these oil fields in his own hands, and the Americans were helpless!

In particular, it's great that they didn't destroy the wells, so they had perfect access to them and were ready to start production at any time.

The next step is to pay attention to the guerrillas, but at this time, even the Saudi royal family has surrendered, what kind of blood can ordinary people in Saudi Arabia? They will soon be able to return to normal life under the new government.

Now, the Iraqi army is fighting fiercely with the American army in northern Iraq, and in order to prevent new variables from appearing here in Saudi Arabia, the Iraqi side has to agree to the Soviet Union's request for support, anyway, according to the original agreement, more than half of the exploitation rights of these oil fields will be handed over to the Soviet Union, and now, it is only the Soviet Union that has obtained the exploitation rights in advance.

Thinking of this, Andrei rubbed his eyes, I don't know why, in the last few days, his eyelids have been jumping.

Large-scale warfare, unlike counter-guerrilla warfare, is different, if it is in difficult terrain, such as Afghanistan, such as Vietnam, the guerrillas will exhaust the defenders. However, in the endless desert terrain of Saudi Arabia, the soil for the guerrillas to survive is not abundant.

"The oilfield workers here, there is no problem with their thinking, right?" Andrei continued his rounds as he walked.

Although it controlled the oil fields here, the Soviet Union did not immigrate in large numbers, and many of the workers here were still Saudis who used to work here.

After all, the Soviet Union wanted the right to exploit oil, not to completely turn it into a Soviet colony, let alone a union republic. As long as the Soviet Union controls oil production here, it will make the Western world look at the face of the Soviet Union, and the strategic goal of the Soviet Union will be achieved.

As for the workers here, they should be allowed to return to their old lives as soon as possible, and let them know that although the ruling class has changed, life is the same for them, and what is going on. (To be continued.) )
