>," Qusay said from inside his office. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info{{}}

The US aircraft carriers have been sailing in the northern part of Libya's coastline, exerting strong pressure on Libya, but they have not entered Libyan airspace, and even the line of death stipulated by Libya is rarely broken.

Just a week after the incident, Qusay's office welcomed a familiar guest, the American ambassador to Iraq, Brightman, to visit.

Hearing that he was coming, Qusay already knew what he was coming for, so that he could end the crisis with dignity and at the same time squeeze some benefits out of the Americans.

"President Qusay, I am here this time mainly for peace in the Arab world." Brightman said.

Peace? In the name of peace, to bomb others? Qusay thought to himself and said: "We in the Arab world are peace-loving, unless we encounter foreign aggression. {{}}”

When Qusay said this, Brightman's heart was shocked: "President Qusay, you are a very important friend of our United States in the Middle East, and I have come to meet you not to discuss the rights and wrongs of this incident, but to discuss how to end this dispute." ”

The U.S. bombing of Libya was originally decided by the Americans themselves, and they did not receive any authorization from the United Nations, so the Americans did not have a very strong diplomatic or military advantage in this incident.

Originally. In other actions, even if the United States makes unilateral decisions, after military success, even if outsiders want to say anything, they cannot say anything, and it is already a complete boat. For example, if the operation is successful, Gaddafi will be blown up. What others like to say, Gaddafi is dead, and the United States can be more assured and bold to intervene in the situation in Libya. Foster your own agents.

But now... Thinking of the disputes experienced at home, and thinking of the president's final choice, Brightman knew that the Americans had achieved nothing in this incident.

The U.S. bombing campaign has made the Arab world very angry, and the Arab world has unanimously condemned the U.S. action, but it has not taken any steps to restrict oil exports, because this time it was only the actions of the United States. The Western world did not participate in the actions of the United States, and even Britain issued a statement expressing regret over the incident, and because the proportion of oil imports from the Middle East by the United States was decreasing. So, they did not come up with the weapon of the oil embargo, which is a weapon against the entire Western world.

Now, the United States finally wants to settle this dispute peacefully.

"So, what do you mean?" Qusay asked.

"Libyan side, release our pilot from last time. At the same time, we apologized for the incident, and our aircraft carrier battle group returned to its station after completing the exercise in the Mediterranean. Brightman said.

When Qusay heard what they said, he smiled curiously: "So, why don't you just go directly to Libya and forget it, what are you coming to me for?" I completely agree with these statements. ”

This statement made Brightman a little embarrassed: "Because the relationship between Libya and Iraq, which are also in the Arab world, is very good, and you know, our embassy in Libya was closed decades ago, so we can't talk to Libya directly." {{}}”

Gaddafi, who is a mad dog, cannot be speculated by common sense, so they want to find Iraq and use Iraqi relations to get Gaddafi to release the American pilots.

In the last operation, the United States lost more than 20 pilots, of which 11 were captured by Libya, for this group of pilots, they very much want to plan an operation to rescue the pilots, but several plans, all of them have been denied, and the failure of the last Iranian hostage incident has made them fully assess the danger of such an operation, and do not do what they can not do.

Now it is like this, trying to rescue his own pilots from Gaddafi's base camp, the success is very small, and besides, there are more than a thousand American citizens there!

However, if the United States talks directly to Gaddafi, then, with Gaddafi's Xing style, who knows what the result will be? So, it's better to find a middleman. Although the United States has the closest relationship with Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, there is no doubt that Iraq is the more appropriate choice.

The relationship between Libya and Iraq is getting closer and closer, in particular, it has also purchased a certain number of fighters from Iraq, for which the United States is disdainful. Although the Pakistan Air Force is also equipped, it is because the Pakistan Air Force is a traditional user of Chinese fighters, and they do not have enough funds to buy more modern fighters.

The United States is also observing that during this air raid, not a single Libyan fighter plane took off, including the two Super 7 fighters that had been imported from Iraq.

There was growing opposition to the conflict at home, believing that the United States was fighting a meaningless war, so, after much study, they finally decided that it was time to end the operation with dignity.

If Gaddafi admits his mistake and returns the pilot, then the matter can be over. {{}} But, Gaddafiken?

It depends on whether Kusaiken is unwilling.

"Our relations with Iraq and Libya are very good, but they are not good enough to influence Gaddafi's decision-making." "We can't convince Gaddafi to apologize to the United States, any more than we have to convince President Reagan to apologize to the innocent people of Libya who were bombed," Qusay said. ”

Because of the strong opposition of the French, President Reagan publicly issued an apology to the French diplomat who was killed in the bombing, which can be regarded as ending the civil conflict between the two countries, but the Libyans who were killed by the bombing, even ordinary citizens, will never have President Reagan's turn to apologize.

After hearing Qusay's words, Brightman knew that these ideas of the US top brass might not be realized, and it was very difficult for Iraq to help the United States persuade Gaddafi.

I really don't know what President Reagan thought about letting himself accomplish such a task! Brightman thought.

"You are not in the right position to resolve this dispute, and you should know that this tragedy should not have happened, and that we, the entire Arab world, are condemning this attack, which is completely a terrorist attack." Qusay said it unceremoniously, anyway, when he urgently summoned the ambassador, he had already said those words: "If you want me to convince Gaddafi, then you have to show enough sincerity." ”

Qusay simply made a request on behalf of Gaddafi, and Brightman felt that this time he had come completely by mistake, and then he heard Qusay say: "Those pilots are the executioners of the slaughter of the Libyan people, and Libya will try them openly in court, and according to Libyan law, I am afraid that they will be sentenced to at least 20 years in prison." ”

Twenty years in prison! In this case, the families of those pilots, I am afraid that under the instigation of the opposition parties, they will set off a big storm in the United States, Brightman frowned, and said: "We cancel the apology, let Libya let go of our pilots, and then our aircraft carrier battle group withdraws from the waters north of Libya, this is always okay, right?" ”

Brightman made his own claim, but the proposal could have been approved by President Reagan.

The two sides are fair now, right? Qusay continued: "You have to get your carrier battle group out of the waters north of Libya before I can be sure to convince Colonel Gaddafi." ”

Successively, it is a matter of dignity.

"No, no, if that's the case, our military will never agree." Brightman said.

"Well, there's nothing I can do." Qusay said.

As long as the Americans do not launch an attack, they want to stay there, they will stay there, two aircraft carrier battle groups, a day's consumption, is an astronomical amount, anyway, the US domestic economy is very sluggish, that is, because of the huge military expenditure of the United States, although ordinary people are still kept in the dark, but the US top level knows, they will not last long, if they want to fight, they will happily finish the fight and leave, or not, then simply do not fight, now like this, they have been burning money, and they cannot afford it.

The military really wanted to fight, but they were hesitant all the time because they were not sure of victory, they could not care about the lives of the captured people, and they did not have a moral advantage.

"You also know that for Gaddafi, there has always been a deep hostile attitude towards the United States, and if he releases people first, and when he finishes releasing people, the United States starts to act again, then, I'm afraid, Gaddafi thinks that I am acting behind my back." "So, the U.S. has to leave Libyan waters first, so that's okay," Qusay said. ”

Qusay said very truthfully, now, the United States does not dare to punch in the card because he has more than a dozen prisoners in his hands, although in fact, there are nothing, but now, someone has been making a fuss about those people, and Gaddafi also knows this.

If the prisoners are released and the United States bombs them again, there is nothing Qusay can do, and afterwards, Qusay will be in big trouble.

Brightman already has a sense of proportion in his heart, so it seems that Gaddafi is still afraid of the blow of the United States.

Your support is my biggest motivation. )
