Hearing Powell's words, everyone came to the spirit, they gathered together, they came to discuss the solution of the emergency response, and now I heard that Powell was so confident, they were all waiting for his clever plan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ{{}}

Although for the United States, it is not necessary to ravage a country, but now, the United States can not act rashly, the Middle East, once a war really breaks out, maybe, it will be the second Vietnam, which is related to global energy security, and now the United States is already riding a tiger, no matter what choice to make, it is very difficult.

"Our biggest problem now is Iraq, Iraq and Saudi Arabia have formed a stable alliance, and our action this time, instead of achieving the expected purpose, has completely pushed Saudi Arabia to Iraq, which is our mistake."

"Powell, you pick up the key points and say your plan directly." Cheney said impatiently, what else are you doing to foreshadow, isn't this blaming them for a mistake in their work? ”

"In the face of the current situation, we can analyze that Iraq is our biggest enemy, so for Iraq, we should change our strategy, and for Iraq, our attitude must be absolutely tough!" Powell paused and continued: "We want to unite NATO countries to carry out an economic blockade of Iraq, Iraq seems to be very strong now, but many of its industrial aspects are still dependent on us in the Western world, without us, their industry will not be able to develop at all, we will make Iraq's industry stagnate through the blockade, increase the unemployment rate, stop their domestic science and technology, and even let their country, the current situation of the Soviet Union." {{}}”

The West has been carrying out a high-tech blockade of the Soviet Union, and Powell demanded an all-round blockade of Iraq.

"But we need a good reason to do it." Brent said.

"Reason? Who do we Americans want to sanction, and do we need a reason? Secretary of State James took over and said, "Aren't we already in an arms embargo on Pakistan now?" Our reasons are always available. For example, there are human rights issues in Iraq right now, such as whether they possess weapons of mass destruction that are prohibited by international conventions, and for example, the sudden terror of our civilians in the world. We can all have enough evidence to be sure. It was Iraq that did it. ”

The United States has long been accustomed to pointing fingers at countries around the world, and their starting point is good, that is, for the interests of the United States.

During the war in Afghanistan, the United States began to fight Pakistan in order to counter the Soviet invasion. Advanced F-16 fighters were also exported to Pakistan, giving Pakistan an effective means to counter the Soviet Air Force.

However, with the withdrawal of the Soviet Union, the honeymoon period between the United States and Pakistan is over.

Pakistan and the United States Peace Gate Project. In the third batch, the United States re-examined and was convinced that this batch of aircraft could become the carrier aircraft of Pakistan's nuclear weapons, so it refused to provide Pakistan. For the fourth batch of 60 F-16s, Pakistan has already paid a deposit of $700 million. It is also no longer refundable.

The reason of the Americans is very good, this batch of aircraft has already been produced, so the deposit is non-refundable. {{}} but. Because the planes could be used illegally, the United States will not allow them to be delivered to Pakistan. Pakistan lost its wife and lost its troops, but did not get anything, and as for Pakistan's nuclear weapons, it is still an unsolved mystery at this time.

The United States believes that maintaining good relations with India can restrain the northern powers, which is a better choice for the United States, so they have imposed an arms embargo on Pakistan.

Fortunately, Pakistan is no longer relying on the J-6 to support the façade like later generations, and their fleet has begun to be replaced with Iraqi-made Super 7 fighters, and Iraq has also equipped their fleet with Sky Flash missiles.

This is true for Pakistan, and of course for Iraq.

The United States must make its attitude clear and clear, find an excuse, and sanction Iraq! Blockades and sanctions have allowed Iraq, a newly rising giant, to gradually decline!

"And Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, these effects, so far, they are still waiting and watching, and they have not completely broken with us, we want to take all kinds of benefits from them, win them over, and pull them to our side, for example, the Jafal naval base in Bahrain, we must not return it to Bahrain, we also have to expand the existence of this base, and dock more warships. {{}}," Powell continued.

Striking at the bellwethers, appeasing the hesitant and unstable, undermining the unity of the Arab world, from this point of view, Powell and Bush have similar ideas.

"But

It may take a long time for your plan to be implemented, and we cannot weaken Iraq in a year or two. Undersecretary of State for Economic and Trade Affairs Zorik said. It will take a long time for Iraq to gradually decline through the blockade, because Iraq has the richest oil resources in the world! To be honest, Zorik is also skeptical about whether this proposal will work.

"Therefore, when we set up these bureaus, we must also plan for war." Powell continued: "What was just proposed is one aspect, the other aspect, that we are going to garrison troops here and here. {{}}”

Following the position that Powell pointed, two black shadows appeared on the picture displayed by the projector on the wall, which were Powell's fingers, but although they were black shadows, their eyes lit up.

Those two locations, one for Israel and one for Yemen!

These two locations, one is the northern part of the Middle East, the Mediterranean coast, and the other is the southern part of the Middle East, the western part of the Arabian Sea. In this way, it is like a big mouth, biting the Middle East region.

Historically, the United States has never stationed troops in Israel, and that is because Israel's military is strong enough to shake all the surrounding Arab countries, so the United States has stationed troops in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar and other countries, but there is no need to station troops in Israel.

But now, the Arab world has become stronger and more unified, and Israel has long felt the immediate threat, no matter what unpleasant trouble the two sides have had, it is already a thing of the past, if the United States proposes to station troops, I am afraid that Israel will raise its hands in favor, so there is no difficulty in renting Israeli bases.

However, the biggest problem is that it will attract hatred from the surrounding people, and you must know that the people of all Arab countries do not have a good impression of the United States, and the stationing of US troops here will further intensify the contradictions between Israel and the surrounding Arab world, and the situation here will become more difficult to control.

And another place, Yemen, is even better located here, guarding the exit of the Red Sea, in the northern part of the Gulf of Aden, with a long coastline and excellent ports, which is very suitable for the stationing of US ships and the transportation of supplies.

Moreover, Yemen is still a troubled country, poor and backward, and it is easy for the United States to make Yemen obey the arrangements of the Americans at a very small cost, and the economic gap between Yemen and those rich Arab countries has led to dialogue between them is not very normal. More critically, there have been several conflicts between Yemen and Saudi Arabia due to border issues, and the relationship between them is very bad.

As long as the United States fosters proxies, Yemen becomes the spokesperson of the United States, and stationed troops in Yemen, so that it can look north to the entire Arab world and deter them!

You can attack and retreat, Yemen is a very good choice.

"The CIA is closely monitoring the situation in Yemen and is ready to show our presence in Yemen, and we will complete the garrison in Yemen within six months." Bush finally made up his mind.

Within six months, Bush will certainly resolve the Middle East issue during his term of office and provide him with an opportunity to run for re-election.

Yemen is the most important breakthrough.

"At the same time, because Iraq took the initiative to provoke and shot down our warplanes, we want to impose sanctions on Iraq in all aspects, including military, economic, industrial, and all kinds of sanctions, and we want to unite with Western Europe to completely squeeze out Iraq's processing industry."

Speaking of the processing industry, Bush has an irony that in his eyes, Iraq does not have any scientific research capabilities, and Iraq's seemingly very powerful industry will gradually decline because of the blockade, and those production lines will eventually become a pile of scrap iron and rags.

Unbeknownst to Bush, he had miscalculated two things: First, Iraq's scientific research capabilities. Iraq's industry has risen by importing everything, but now Iraq has a large number of scientific researchers, including Iraq's own countries, Middle Eastern countries, Europe, Eastern powers, and more importantly, a large number of technicians in the Soviet Union, who are very satisfied with the generous treatment and salaries provided by Iraq, and have come to this newly industrialized country.

Second, NATO is also by no means monolithic. The United States can choose to get more oil imports from Canada, but those countries in Europe that are short of oil must import from the Middle East, and Iraq now has the world's largest reserves. Moreover, Iraq's oil pipelines through Syria directly into the Mediterranean Sea have tripled their capacity after repairs and expansions.

This proposal of the United States did not reach a consensus within NATO, and eventually became a blockade of the United States itself.
