Chapter 412: Oil as a Weapon

This time the United States hastened its army is a very failure, and if you can stab a knife in the back, don't go to the front and show your teeth and claws! The Americans are more suitable to be a conspirator in the back, but once again rushed to the front!

It can be said that the United States has contained Iran's strong national strength, so that Iraq is like a bamboo, constantly winning victory after victory, and is ready to conquer Isfahan, an important city in central Iran!

Although Iraq started the war only when it saw the United States using force, it now seems that even if the United States does not use force, Iraq will start a war! The contradictions between Iraq and Iran, irreconcilable!

"Warren, do you mean to say that we are only temporarily withdrawing our troops and allowing the Iraqis to deplete Iran?" Carter asked. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Warren nodded: "Yes, after HMN came to power, Iran's economy has not made any progress, but it has greatly regressed compared to the Pahlavi period, and years of war will make HMN's government unpopular!" After all these steadfast fellows have been eliminated, it will be much easier for us to attack Iran! ”

The United States was stupid at the beginning, what kind of Iran war to launch!

I have seen it, and Iran must have seen it, if we continue to entangle with the United States, the stinky Saddam Hussein will come to Tehran!

"However, even if we exchanged hostages and withdrew our troops from Iran, we still failed, we spent tens of billions of dollars and lost tens of thousands of people to get such a result!" Carter said a little depressedly: "We are the most failed of all the high-level leaders in the United States!" ”

"Of course not, Mr. President, we are in the Middle East, and we can still continue to lay out." Warren said: "Right now, the Iranian economy is almost all at a standstill, and they can say that they are completely supporting their economy by exporting oil, and we can manipulate the world crude oil price and make the international crude oil price worthless." And in this way, it was also possible to hit the economy of the USSR. ”

If you can use economic means, don't resort to force, we are all civilized people! It was also after meditation that Warren felt that it was very good to use this method and could play a lot of roles.

Iran's economy is supported by the export of oil, and the Soviet Union, although it is expanding sales channels in many aspects, crude oil exports are still an important source of foreign exchange for the Soviet Union, reducing oil prices, can make the economies of the two countries have problems, and at the same time, the United States is now in a downturn, if there is a cheap source of oil, the United States economy can quickly recover its vitality!

"Soviet oil, which is mainly extracted under the permafrost of the plateau, is very expensive, and if the international oil price falls to thirty dollars a barrel, the Soviets will be in a state of loss, and if they don't, those oil workers will lose their jobs, and the oil industry will suffer. More than half of the foreign exchange reserves of the USSR came from energy exports, and we could hit the economy of the USSR hard by doing something from this aspect! If we push the international price of crude oil to ten dollars a barrel, then the dividends that the Soviet Union previously received from oil will have to be spit out! Warren continued: "In Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other countries in the Middle East, the cost of oil extraction is only five dollars per barrel. ”

High production from the injection of crude oil, as long as you dig an oil well, the oil will be spewed out by itself, and what about the USSR? You need to dig thousands of meters deep into the ground, and you need to pump it out, which of course makes a difference!

Wouldn't it be better to use oil to fight the Soviets and cut off Iran's financial routes? In this way, the United States can crack the current war situation, and at the same time, let Iraq consume the strength of the Iranians first, and wait until the objective conditions are ripe, and it is not too late for its own side to attack!

"What if the Iraqis defeat Iran? A strong Iraq is also not in the interests of the United States, and in particular, Saddam Hussein in Iraq is extremely inclined to the Soviet Union. The national security adviser said.

All aspects must be considered completely, a strong Iraq, which is very dangerous in the Middle East.

"Our American army, all fought like this, how much better can the Iraqis be? Now it is only because the Iranians are using most of their forces against us that they are leaving the Iraqis in a position to be overwhelmed. Warren's words made Harold's old face red, but this statement seems to make sense.

"And that's another benefit, the threat from Iraq has increased, and we have more reasons to have a military presence in Saudi Arabia." Warren continued: "Saudi Arabia is simply not strong enough to defend their country, and when the Saudis see a threat, they will definitely come to us for support." ”

Another goal of the United States in attacking Iran is to achieve the stationing of troops in the Middle East! And now, Iran's goal is out of play, and it is not bad to simply achieve it on Saudi Arabia!

After saying these words, Carter's eyes already had a look of hope, and Carter agreed with Warren's suggestions in his heart, although the United States seemed to be weak again, but it has to be said that this is a good solution to the current problem.

"Guys, we've all overlooked a problem!" Vice President Walter, who had not spoken, spoke: "Iranians, will they agree to our proposal?" ”

The Iranians are fanatical, unreasonable, and admit death, and now that the war has been fought for so long, and the Iranians have died a lot, will they agree? If you ask for an armistice, you will cease fighting, and if you ask for the return of the hostages, you will return the hostages?

"If the Iranians don't agree, then we have to go more radical!" Warren said: "With our solidified ******, bulldoze the whole of Tehran!" We can't fight this damn street fight anymore! If the Iranians still don't give in, then we will plant mushrooms for them in Isfahan, in Yazd, in the main cities of Iran! ”

If HMN continues to be stubborn, then let them see the true strength of the United States! Nuclear deterrence is a deterrent to countries with nuclear weapons, and it can be used against countries without nuclear weapons! A few small terrorist attacks did not scare the United States, the United States was just making its own most correct choice!

"Yes, that's our condition!" Carter said: "If we can end the war now and save our hostages, we are willing to accept this outcome, and if the Iranians do not agree, then be prepared to bear the wrath of our nuclear weapons." ”

The attitude of the United States towards Iran changed in a subway explosion, and this change took the Iranians by surprise, and this plan to create an explosion on the American soil was put forward by General Andrei at the last stage of the talks, and the Iranian top brass did not realize that this small explosion would actually bring such a satisfactory ending to them!
