"The change of power in Saudi Arabia is a normal change of government that is in line with the Saudi state system and is responsible for Saudi Arabia's laws. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info" That night, as a representative of the French government, AFP announced France's attitude to the world: "King Khalid, King Fahd, two kings have passed away one after another, and the incumbent King Abdullah is the only legitimate king who can represent the Saudi royal family. So, the abdication agreement signed by King Abdullah is valid! We are very happy to see the spread of democracy and freedom in the Middle East world, the end of the ancient royal rule, and the leader who came to power through the election of this modern democratic way is the most legitimate representative of the people's will! At the same time, we also hope that Saudi Arabia can restore peace as soon as possible and restore a stable supply of crude oil to the world. ”

This news from AFP completely shocked the world! Europe was stunned, the United States was stunned.

Damn, what are the French doing? Do they like to dismantle the United States so much? Even if they have a holiday with the United States, they don't need to openly support the Riyadh government and slap the United States in the face, right? The United States has also installed a new Saudi king in Mecca!

However, because France is not a NATO country, although the United States was extremely angry after hearing the news and immediately expressed a serious protest to France through diplomatic channels, it was only a protest, and the United States could not do anything to France.

And just after France made a statement, at the ports of Saudi Arabia, French oil tankers began to load new crude oil and sail in the direction of France, France needs energy, needs a stable supply of oil, and now, even the Americans are too busy to take care of themselves, it is simply impossible to support France and provide France with oil resources.

Why, then, does France have to look at the faces of the Americans? Moreover, France has already seen that the influence of the United States in the Middle East will be lower and lower, and a new world pattern is slowly taking shape!

When the United States loses the Far East, its influence begins to weaken, and when the United States loses even the Middle East, what qualifications will the Americans have to be the leaders of the Western world? In this case, France must always be prepared!

Even if the United States turns the tables again in the Middle East, then France will at most regain friendship with the Saudi royal government, and France will have nothing to lose.

France, in the Western world, is unique, and by doing so, it also means attacking the American leader.

This made the United States depressed, and there was not much to do, but what the United States did not expect was that within a few days, neutral countries such as Switzerland and Sweden also announced their support for the current Saudi government!

"This group of short-sighted guys, for a little oil resources, actually went to support the puppet government of Saudi Arabia! Didn't they see that the Soviet Union was actually behind the puppet government of Saudi Arabia? If the Soviet Union completely controls the oil resources of the Middle East, the economy of the entire Western world will collapse! The international oil price will even exceed $200 a barrel! "In the White House, Reagan has realized that things are out of control, and the Soviets are using oil as a weapon just to get the support of the international community for the new Saudi government!

If the new government is supported by the international community, what about the royal government supported by the United States? will become a refugee of the West! Although the wealth of the royal family will allow these people to still live a prosperous life, what does it mean to the United States if they lose control of the country? The United States might as well freeze the royal wealth and leave it for its own use!

"Now it seems that we have to deal with the worst-case scenario." Bush is also worried, and now that the development of the situation is completely out of his control, Bush has an ominous premonition that if the Middle East is a little out of the control of the United States, then the US economy may be completely finished.

Why can the United States now enjoy the status of economic hegemon? Since the collapse of the Bretton Woods system after World War II, the dollar and gold have been decoupled and no longer strong, and since then, the United States has relied on the petrodollar system. And this system was established by Saudi Arabia in OPEC. And the dollars harvested by Saudi Arabia are taken to the United States for consumption, which is equivalent to the United States can obtain cheap oil resources as long as it turns on the money printing press.

Now, the oil is controlled by the Soviets, and if the Soviets do the same and come up with a ruble oil system, then the ruble will become the world currency, and the dollar will become waste paper!

In later generations, the United States launched a war in the Middle East and finally overthrew Saddam's rule, because Saddam used euros to settle oil, which of course angered the Americans!

At that time, the United States could start a war, after all, it was a small opponent, and now, is it really going to enter a state of world war? The little brothers of Europe are not willing to fight at all, and even if they are forcibly tied to the chariot of war, can they guarantee victory?

The United States has no confidence. In a conventional war, victory is not necessarily achieved, on the contrary, the Soviets have a month to advance to the beaches of France, across the sea from Great Britain.

And nuclear war? There are no winners in such a war!

"As long as we don't solve the oil crisis, there will definitely be more countries supporting the current Saudi government, the meaning of the Soviets is obvious, as long as the current Saudi government is recognized, then you can get enough oil imports, although the price is very high, after all, there is, the whole of Europe, now in the oil shortage, even the British gas stations, there are often queues to refuel." Secretary of State George said.

Solving the oil crisis? There is no solution! Because solving the oil crisis is equivalent to solving the current Middle East problem!

"Our own oil extraction has increased, and at the same time, from the United Kingdom, Canada and other countries, oil imports have increased, but our current ability is to solve our oil import problem, and we are not able to take care of the whole of Europe." Energy Secretary James said.

"Isn't there a new technology solution?" Reagan asked, as the most technologically advanced country, Reagan didn't believe there was no alternative!

"Yes, right now, our scientists are already developing renewable fatty acid monoesters, called biodiesel, and now, the development has made significant progress." James said.

In fact, the use of plants as fuel, a very early concept, the earliest inventor of the engine, Dieter pointed out in the 1912 Missouri Engineering Congress report that the use of canola oil as engine fuel does not seem to make much sense today, but in the future it will become as important as oil and coal. At that time, he pointed out the meaning of biofuels. (To be continued.) )
