After a tiring day, President Reagan was finally busy with everything and had his wife and children entertaining after dinner on the lawn of the White House, which was also a rare quiet time of the day. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the sky, the stars were dotted, and Reagan was in good spirits.

"It's past nine o'clock, it's time to go back and rest." Reagan's wife, Nancy, said.

"Okay." Reagan stood up, hugged his little grandson, and wanted to walk back, when he saw Chief of Staff George hurriedly approaching: "Mr. President, please come to the conference room immediately, there is a major change in the Middle East." ”

"Nancy, go back first." Reagan said, his brow instantly sad. With the Soviet Union's foothold in Iran, the energy security of the United States is under threat at any time, and now because of the priority of economic development, he has to acquiesce to this status quo.

Now, I wonder what has happened in the Middle East?

When Reagan arrived at the Oval Table, he saw that everyone else had also arrived, CIA Director William frowned, and Secretary of Defense Weinberg was very interested.

"Alright, we're all here, let's get started, George, what's going on?" Reagan asked the White House chief of staff.

"Just half an hour ago, the Iraqis brazenly invaded Kuwait, and although there has been no report of the battle ahead, the result is obvious." "Kuwait has no ability to resist the Iraqi army, and by tomorrow morning, Kuwait will have planted the Iraqi flag," George said. ”

Iraq invaded Kuwait! This Saddam Hussein is really a scoundrel in the Middle East! Reagan suddenly felt a buzz in his head, and now, the already chaotic situation in the Middle East has become even more chaotic, which is quite unfavorable to the United States!

Behind Kuwait is the United States, and behind Iraq is the USSR! The Soviet Union has taken control of Iran, and now, Iraq's invasion of Kuwait is a move by the Soviet Union to continue the air Middle East oil!

Kuwait accounts for about 10% of the world's oil production! Now, having integrated the oil resources of Iran, Iraq and Kuwait, it is absolutely impossible for the United States to once again manipulate the oil prices in the Middle East! Moreover, Saddam's goal is obviously more than that, Kuwait is occupied, and the next one should be Saudi Arabia! When Saudi Arabia was also occupied by Kuwait, the power of the United States in the Middle East was completely ended! In the future, the Middle East world, led by the Soviet Union, will definitely use oil as a weapon to hit the economy of the West.

Especially now, the US economy is in the process of difficult transformation and development, and Reagan's important task at the beginning of his presidency was to stabilize the US economy, reduce the fiscal deficit, and reduce unemployment. First, the Soviet Union launched a competition in outer space, and although the United States was unwilling, it had to follow suit, and then, the backyard of the Middle East continued to catch fire!

When he first came to power, Reagan still laughed at Carter in his heart, after all, Carter lost the Far East, and now, it is his turn to come to power, is it in his own hands, do you want to lose the Middle East?

No, absolutely not, the Middle East is the cornerstone of the Western world led by the United States, and if the Middle East is lost, then the United States will not be able to live in the future!

"What do you think?" Reagan looked at his brain and said.

"In fact, we have long found signs of Iraqi troops massing on the Kuwaiti border, and we have also reminded the Kuwaiti royal family of Iraq's actions, but they have not listened to our opinions at all, in their eyes, they have never thought that Iraq will use force, they just think that Iraq wants to use force to blackmail them." "Right now, we just hope to be able to save a few Kuwaiti royals, so that we can form a government-in-exile in Saudi Arabia or in our country, and Kuwait will not be destroyed," said CIA Director William. ”

William's meaning is to form a government-in-exile, and he also knows the current financial situation, once the United States really uses force, the war is a bottomless pit, in recent years, the American army has not won any battle, which makes him naturally have no means to solve it by force.

"Forming a government-in-exile is only one thing, the important thing is to help Kuwait recover!" At this moment, Weinberg took his words and continued: "This is a good opportunity for us! Iraq invaded Kuwait, and the next target would definitely be Saudi Arabia! In the face of such a direct threat, the Saudis can no longer refuse our plans to garrison troops! We can move the troops in Pakistan to help Saudi Arabia resist the front line, and at the same time move some troops from Europe to realize our presence in the Middle East. ”

Garrison troops in the Middle East! The United States has always wanted to take direct control of the Middle East! However, the US military program in the Middle East has repeatedly suffered bankruptcy. All this is because of anti-American sentiment in the Middle East.

Why is it anti-American? Because the United States supports Israel, Israel has created a state on the land of Palestine out of nothing! And behind Israel is the United States. In order to help Palestine, the surrounding Arab countries have directly intervened, and have fought four Middle East wars, each country has soldiers who have died at the hands of Israel, and they are mortal enemies with Israel! Therefore, in various Middle Eastern countries, there have always been anti-American voices in China!

In this case, the royal family of Saudi Arabia and other countries has made the people feel dissatisfied, and if they allow the United States to station troops again, I don't know how many demonstrations will break out! Therefore, the wishes of the United States for many years have not been realized, although the positions of these countries are pro-American, but once the situation changes, the United States still cannot directly control it, such as the YSL revolution in Iran, if the United States has troops stationed in Iran, it can directly help the government to calm down! For example, if there are troops stationed in Kuwait, that can help the Kuwaiti army resist the invasion of Iraq!

In the past, due to various reasons, the US plan to station troops in the Middle East has never been able to proceed, but now, Iraq has finally given the United States a chance!

"Weinberg, you're saying that we, the American army, are going to fight the Iraqi army?" Reagan asked Weinberg.

"We are here to maintain peace in the Middle East world!" "If we don't do anything else, the whole of the Middle East will be controlled by the Soviet Union," Weinberg said. ”

"I also agree to the use of force, this is a choice we must choose, otherwise, we are all sinners of the United States." Vice President George W. Bush also spoke. (To be continued.) )
