Chapter 183: General Election

"The deterioration of our domestic economy is all caused by the Middle East! The Middle Easterners are constantly reducing our national debt holdings, making it impossible for us to issue new ones, which leads to our fiscal deficit problems, which leads to our slow economic development, which leads to an increase in unemployment, all because of the problems in the Middle East! "Bush's figure, inside the television, appeared in front of the voters. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"If we want to protect our economy, then we must have a strong army to defend our country and defend the normal development of our economy! We have troops in the Middle East, that's it! Because, the people there never play cards according to common sense, and there are terrorists in abundance! "Bush never prepared a speech in a speech, and he talked endlessly.
"For example, our Lockerbie air disaster, this incident that seriously harmed the interests of our Americans, was done by the evil country Libya, and we carried out air strikes against them, punished Gaddafi in Libya, and this is what our troops are stationed there for! Let them know that harming the interests of our American civilians and engaging in terrorist activities means being hit! ā
"Now, in the Middle East, an evil country has appeared, and we have reason to believe that now, the wave of opposition to us everywhere in the Middle East is planned by this country, and they have seriously damaged our interests, and this country, now, is sparing no effort to develop military armament, they were originally an almost landlocked country, with only a few tens of kilometers of coastline in the Persian Gulf, and now, they actually have aircraft carriers!"
When Bush said this, his tone obviously became very serious, and he did not have the kind of humor peculiar to the Americans: "We have received accurate information, and now, the Soviet Union is building an aircraft carrier for Iraq, and this aircraft carrier is now undergoing sea trials, and later, it will join the Iraqi Navy. Is it for patrolling the interior of the Persian Gulf? Or do you want to hang out off the coast of the United States? ā
Iraq is about to have aircraft carriers! This is earth-shattering news, until now, no one thought that Iraq would have such great ambitions!
Iraq's continuous military development is a serious challenge to the order of the Middle East, and they will lead the Middle East region into a new arms race and lead to the deterioration of the situation in the Middle East! I would like to be here, to seriously protest against the actions of Iraq! Your military development has seriously exceeded the needs of Iraq, and this is a very wrong development! ā
"Obviously, we did not expect that Iraq's leaders have very strong ambitions, Iraq is a threat to the stable order of the Middle East, and after they have sufficient force, they will be more ambitious in the Middle East, which will also pose a challenge to the current international order, and Iraq is already a threat to the existing international order!"
"Our current efforts are all aimed at preventing this from happening, but now, Iraq still does not listen to advice and is on the road of frantic military expansion, and moreover, at the instigation of Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other countries have gradually changed their stance on us, which has a lot to do with the deterioration of our economy! We've got to get this out of the way! The solution to our economic problems lies not in our country, but in the Middle East! Bush said.
No one thought that it was not a certain brick family in the United States who concocted the theory of the Iraq threat, but actually the President of the United States, Bush! And the theory he has concocted now is to make excuses for his actions in the Middle East, he took precautions and discovered the bad actions of the Iraqi side, and now, the economic deterioration in the United States is inseparable from the Middle East, if you continue to increase your holdings of US Treasury bonds, then everything will be fine, and the economic problems of the United States are all caused by the malicious and secret sale of US Treasury bonds in the Middle East!
Now, the United States has imposed sanctions on Iraq for the second year, but such sanctions have not played any role, on the contrary, they have worsened the economic situation in the United States.
Because, for Iraq, what the United States does not export, they can get from Western Europe, and Western Europe is very happy to see that with the withdrawal of the United States, they occupy the Iraqi market in some areas, and the Americans do not make money, and they watch the countries of Western Europe make money. If you want to impose sanctions, you must impose comprehensive sanctions on the entire Western world, and Bush has completely made a stupid move in this regard.
Moreover, with the sanctions imposed by the United States, the entire Arab world has greatly increased its antipathy to the United States, which has led to a significant reduction in the amount of American exports in other countries, for example, Arab construction companies, when conducting various building materials bidding, strictly prohibit the use of American businessmen's products, their various luxury goods, are all removed from the Middle East, the trade war between the United States and Arab countries, the United States is a complete loser.
The United States has already gone from a trade surplus to a trade deficit, and exports to the Middle East are an important business action for them, and in some sense, this has indeed led to the deterioration of the economic situation in the United States.
The fact that Arab funds have left the US market and moved into Western Europe has played a role in fueling the fire.
Although the United States is a democratic country, including the president, who is also elected by the people, the president of the United States still represents the interests of the big capitalists, and they look at the current situation and know that these are inseparable from the Middle East.
Therefore, with Bush's speech, the theory of the Iraq threat began to have a larger market in the United States.
With the agreement signed between the United States and the Soviet Union in Malaysia, the Cold War has ended, and in this case, the enemy of the United States, although it is still the Soviet Union, but at this time, the Soviet Union has no ability to threaten the United States at all. Moreover, the United States should vigorously develop high-tech industries, such as the Internet technology, which has gradually matured, and use high-tech industries to stimulate the economic development of the entire country, so as to get rid of the fiscal deficit and bring the US economy into the next peak period of rapid development.
This is Clinton's strategy, and the current problem of the United States is not at all a new threat, nor is it a new international security, and the most important problem of the United States lies in the economy of the United States itself! Clinton firmly believes that as long as they vigorously develop high-tech industries, the US economy will surely take off again!
At this time, Bush was still propagating the harsh strategic environment of the United States, and there were many rogue countries that were all potential enemies of the United States, and the United States must eliminate them. Clinton really cannot agree with Bush's views. If it weren't for Bush's policy, then the current Middle East problem would not have arisen at all!
Fool, the problem is the economy!
With the arrival of '92, another election year, the competition between Clinton and Bush has finally begun.
However, in this election, a new face has appeared, a new candidate who does not belong to the Republican Party and the Democratic Party: Ross Perrott, a wealthy businessman from Texas. He was an expert in computers and information processing, and he amassed a fortune from scratch in these areas, winning signatures from 50 states to run in elections on issues such as government incompetence in dealing with the economy and the federal deficit. Unease about the direction of the country's economy has led some people to pin their hopes on this candidate, which will also hit their popular vote.
Whoever catches the attention of the electorate will win the election! In later generations, due to serious domestic economic problems, although the elder Bush successfully launched the Gulf War, he still did not win the support of the voters and retreated, while the US economy went through a high-speed development process under Clinton's management.
And now, the elder Bush did not start the Gulf War, and the situation in the Middle East is in a terrible mess, can the elder Bush still win the support of the voters at such a time?
Opinion polls show that the elder Bush's approval rating is not very high.

Qusai traveled to the island of Qeshm on a ground-effect aircraft.
After the Soviet Union abandoned the project of ground-effect aircraft, Iraq carried it forward, and in a first-class department of an Iraqi shipyard, using the technical data of the Soviet Union and the personnel hired by Iraq, Iraq used its own advanced technology to finally produce this kind of aircraft.
From the outside, it is very similar to the Kitty Hawk Assault Landing Ground Effect Vehicle, which can transport 500 soldiers at a time, and is a very suitable choice for beach landing and transportation of supplies. Iraq will equip twenty of these aircraft. At the same time, a larger 500-ton ground effect wing aircraft is also in the development stage, when this kind of aircraft enters service, it can carry main battle equipment and quickly enter the battlefield, a 50-ton tank, can transport ten at a time, even if it is an Il-76, it can only transport one at a time.
This kind of equipment will enable Iraq to quickly deal with the problem of coastal states and project troops.
This time, Qusay landed on the island of Qeshm on such a flying machine to inspect the place.
The current Ishim Island is already the second largest naval base of the Iraqi Navy after Port Saddam, and in addition to Iraqi naval vessels, even Iraqi naval aviation is also training here.
