Chapter 111: Suspicious Secretary
The spoon stirs the coffee cup with a crisp sound, no added sugar, and although bitter, it is mellow, and it is made from the finest coffee beans from Brazil, which is very refreshing.
Zhang Feng tasted it while waiting for Prince Fahd's reply.
When Fahd was thinking quickly, he completely underestimated the wisdom of this man who was not yet an adult, and when he received the news that Qusay was coming, Fahd knew that the other party must have something to ask for, otherwise, it is impossible to come to Kuwait, Iraq is at war, and there must be a shortage of money, Fahd has secretly made up his mind that he can give Iraq an interest-free loan of two billion US dollars to help Iraq update its weapons and equipment, etc., which is already a very generous act.
The people of Kuwait are peace-loving. The Kuwaiti government pursues a policy of neutrality and non-alignment, and advocates the development of relations with all countries on the basis of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, so it is very disgusted by Iran's export revolution.
The people of Kuwait have also been very generous and resolutely opposed to the policy of favouritism and support for Israel by the United States. Solidarity with the Palestinian people in the occupied territories in their just struggle against violence, recognition of the State of Palestine and upgrading of the Palestine Liberation Organization (UNIPO) to the status of an embassy. For the PLO, there has always been support, and likewise, for the struggle of the Iraqis.
However, Kuwait is neutral, and if it rashly participates in the affairs of the Abadan refinery, it can easily be misinterpreted as also directly involved in the war against Iran.
After pondering for a long time, Fahd said: "Your Excellency Qusay, regarding your proposal, it is very important, but there is a very important point, I want to explain to you clearly, Kuwait is now neutral, and this Abadan oil refinery is in the area of war, if our crude oil flows there, it is easy to cause misunderstanding. ”
Fahd put it mildly.
Zhang Feng admired Saddam Hussein a little, he saw the most critical part of the matter at a glance, and he still has a lot to learn!
"Tariq, explain it to His Highness Fahd." Zhang Feng said.
Tariq waited for this opportunity, he took out the information in his hand, spread it out in front of Fahd, and said, "Your Royal Highness, look at this map. ”
Fahd looked at the map with some strange looks, it was a large-scale drawing, mainly in the Jahra and Basra areas.
"Your Royal Highness, look here, here, are our fresh water pipelines, among them, these two are abandoned pipelines, but they are still in a state that can be opened and reused at any time." Tariq said.
Fahd was very smart, and Tarik began to understand it halfway through his speech.
"We use these two pipelines to transport crude oil from here to Basra, and then load it on ships, through the Shatt al-Arab, to the Abadan refinery, and then through this pipeline, to transport it back the same way, these pipelines are abandoned in the first place, no one will find out that they are carrying black wealth, and the oil ships appear in Basra, which has nothing to do with Kuwait at all. After it is transported back, it will be transported out from Kuwait Port, so that no one will find out at all that Kuwait has anything to do with the Abadan refinery. ”
Fahd's eyes began to glow, and it was definitely a brilliant idea, so that Kuwait would be completely out of the way. Moreover, refining crude oil into refined oil and then transporting it can completely increase the profits.
"Except for the part in Kuwait, the rest is all made by us, and we take half of the profits, what do you think?" Zhang Feng asked Fahd.
"With all due respect," Fahd asked, "although Abadan is firmly in Iraq's hands, in the sky, it is still the world of the Iranians, and as long as the Iranian planes drop a few bombs, the refinery will be in great danger." ”
Asking this question is indeed a bit rude, Tariq was beside him, and he subconsciously wanted to refute, but was stopped by Zhang Feng with his eyes.
Zhang Feng knew that if the other party asked like this, it would mean that the other party was actually moved, so he would ask the question he was most concerned about.
"Maybe His Royal Highness doesn't know much about our last few battles, and in the last few air battles, our air force has successfully shot down one Tomcat and damaged two, so we are not helpless to deal with the Tomcat that the Iranians are most proud of. Moreover, the Mirage F1 fighters we imported from France have been transferred to the Southern Military District, and when the refinery starts, they will cruise over Abadan every day. Zhang Feng said.
Fahd nodded, saying this, he was already very satisfied, in fact, he had already made up his mind just now, and he asked this question, just to confirm that the military genius of His Excellency Qusay had spread all over the Arab world.
"This matter is very important, so I can't make a decision alone, I have to discuss it with the emir, but I will do my best to make it happen." Prince Fahd said.
Since the prince said this, Zhang Feng put his mind at ease, he knew that Fahd had a great influence on the emir, and since he had already agreed, there should not be too many problems.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness." Zhang Feng said: "The Iraqi people will not forget the help of His Royal Highness. ”
"We are all Muslim brothers." Fahd said: "Still, I have a small proposal. ”
"Your Royal Highness, please speak." Zhang Feng said.
"The Mirage F1 is too cumbersome to repair and maintain, and it is not very suitable for our desert climate."
Zhang Feng suddenly had an incredible feeling, this prince is also a personal essence, how can he know everything?
Prince Fahd is a sports enthusiast, and it can also be said that he is a celebrity in the sports world of Asia, in addition, as a man, Prince Fahd's military attainments are also very deep.
Moreover, Kuwait was equipped with the legal Mirage F1 series aircraft earlier than Iraq, which was very unsuitable for the climate of the Middle East, and did not fly for an hour, but required at least 30 hours of maintenance.
"What does the prince mean?" Zhang Feng asked.
"Recently, the American company Northrop came to Kuwait to sell their F-20 fighter jets, and it is estimated that their next stop will be Iraq." Prince Fahd said.
f-20? Zhang Feng suddenly remembered the tragic fate of this fighter in history.
"As you know, our country's finances are not loose at the moment, and we will not have the extra funds to purchase aircraft until the refinery project is carried out. Zhang Feng said with some sighs.
"If President Saddam Hussein wants to, we are willing to provide financial guarantees, and anyway, after our project starts, Iraq will have enough money to pay it back." If it wasn't enough, I think the Saudis would be generous. With that, Fahd glanced at his secretary.
Zhang Feng keenly captured this moment, this secretary's identity is very suspicious! He had already secretly guessed something.
