The central meaning of the original conversation between Qusay and Hou Yefeng is that Iraq attaches great importance to friendly relations with China, and even rises to the strategic level, Iraq can inject large sums of money into China to save China's projects that have died due to lack of funds, and for China's economic development, Iraq is also willing to negotiate to provide loans to China, but the premise is that China must stop arms exports to Iran, and Iraq has given enough benefits to let China even if it does not export weapons to Iran. It is also completely profitable

This chip is already big enough, and Qusay is fully sure that China will agree. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo≦≧

"I fully understand your kindness, and my country also attaches great importance to exchanges with your country, and my country would like to invite him to pay a friendly visit to my country within a few months, and I will convey these things you said to my country." Hou Yefeng said very sincerely.

"I am also very much looking forward to your country zhèngfu making the right choice, we in Iraq are definitely good friends of your country, and we can even join forces against the powerful countries in the world at a certain time." Qusay said.

Hou Yefeng didn't understand Kusai's words, what did he want to express? Is it against the USSR, or against the United States?

Just then, the phone on Cusay's desk rang. ≦≧

Qusai picked up the phone and heard Tariq's voice coming from inside: "Under Qusay, a big incident happened in the Strait of Hormuz, just an hour ago, Iran fired a missile that hit an oil tanker in Kuwait. ”

As Qusai descended to Baghdad, Tariq followed him to Baghdad. Moreover, Tariq has taken charge of foreign affairs. Hekmat, on the other hand, took Shalabi's place as oil minister.

Hou Yefeng saw Ku Saixia pick up the phone, and after listening to it, his face actually changed, thinking that something was wrong on the frontline battlefield.

It seems that it is time for me to go. It must not affect the work of the other party.

After seeing Cusai put down the phone, Hou Yefeng said: "Cusai, it seems that it is time for me to leave." ”

Looking at the person in front of him, Qusai said: "Yes, you should go, after you go back to the embassy." ≦≧ have to report my proposal to your country. ”

Hear this. Hou Yefeng feels very uncomfortable, isn't this driving me away? It's not that direct, is it?

Who knows, the next words he heard made him completely moved.

"I have just received a report that Iran has launched a 601 missile imported from your country in the Strait of Hormuz and hit an oil tanker in Kuwait. Now it's time for the Persian Gulf to be lively, Khomeini, I really don't give your country zhèngfu worry! ”

Iran sent anti-ship missiles imported from China and hit a Kuwaiti oil tanker, which made Hou Yefeng feel very shocked, and China sold the missiles to Iran. It was definitely not for him to fight Kuwait, how could he use it on the battlefield between Iran and Iraq. That's okay to say, but. Hitting Kuwait will cause a huge international turmoil, and even China will be pushed to the cusp!

………

Kuwait.

In terms of land area, Kuwait has only more than 10,000 square kilometers and a population of only 3 million people. ≦≧

However, in terms of affluence, Kuwait is definitely ranked first in the Middle East, and even in the whole world, and under Kuwaiti land, it is all black sè gold.

Everything in Kuwait depends on the sea transportation lines, the export of oil, the import of all kinds of RI supplies, the people of Kuwait have long been accustomed to all this.

But now, the situation has changed, because the Kuwaiti tanker, just as it was passing through the Strait of Hormuz, was sunk by an anti-ship missile that was fired from the Iranian shore!

The emir of the State of Kuwait was shocked, this is unique, this is not a good start!

In the Dasman Palace, after receiving the news, the high-level leaders of Kuwait who rushed to the palace began to make an emergency response.

"We have sent a helicopter from the coastal reserve to pick up the crew of the tanker." Defense Minister Sheikh said: "This time Iran dares to attack our oil tanker with missiles, this is a naked threat, we must seek justice from Iran!" ”

"Yes, this is a blatant contempt for international law, a provocation by the Persians against our entire Arab world, this despicable way of attacking our civilian ships, we must retaliate against Iran!" Minister Mubarak said. ≦≧

A few days ago, they all heard about Iran's threat to attack oil tankers, but they didn't expect that the Iranians would dare to do it!

The Iranians may attack Iraq's oil tankers, which is bold enough, it is a civilian ship, but I did not expect that the first attack of the Iranians was actually Kuwaiti, which is not just bold, but crazy.

Sadly, however, Kuwait has not been able to find much effective action other than protests.

Because, although Kuwait is a rich country, Kuwait's military strength is very weak.

Kuwait has a total strength of more than 10,000 troops, including more than 1,000 foreign mercenaries, and it is not so easy to make the Kuwaitis lying in the golden house have the courage to fight, and Kuwait's navy only has a few missile boats and landing craft, how can such a navy retaliate against Iran? Kuwait's air force, although it has dozens of fighters, also lacks training in ground-to-sea attacks, and Kuwait has never realized that it has such huge wealth and only such a weak military strength that it can easily be coveted by foreign forces. ≦≧

Prince Fahd said: "Ladies and gentlemen, what we need at the moment is to come up with a practical solution, we can't just protest, we want to retaliate, so how can we retaliate?" And if we retaliate, will it lead to further turmoil? ”

"It is not in our interest to go to war with Iran, and it is not in our interest to go to war with Iran for the sake of a civilian ship being attacked, our military is relatively weak, and if the ship attack war escalates, our economy will be hit hard." Crown Prince Saad said.

This is a fact that everyone has to face, as these leaders who are very far-sighted, they have seen that if they retaliate against Iran, then, for Iran as a country, it will definitely lead to their crazy counterattack, and once Kuwait's sea transportation lines are broken, Kuwait will fall into crisis.

"What we have to think about now is not just how to deal with the attack on this oil tanker of ours by Iran, but importantly, how to avoid something similar from happening again in the future." The emir finally spoke: "We must come up with a practical solution, for Iran, our protest is absolutely useless." ”

Protect vital ocean shipping routes!

"Perhaps, we can ask the U.S. Navy to escort us." At this time, Speaker of Parliament Moon Hamed Satun said.

Since we are unable to protect the safety of cargo ships, we need to have a force to protect the safety of cargo ships, and if we look at the whole world, I am afraid that the strength of the US Navy is very strong, and the relationship between Kuwait and the United States is very good, and it has a great relationship with the United States, and a considerable part of Kuwait's oil exports go to the Americas, so if you ask the US Navy to help, they will definitely agree.

"No, we can't easily ask the U.S. Navy to escort us." At this point, Fahd resolutely objected.

"Although we are pro-American, we also have our own national defense strategy, this is the world of our Arabs, the United States has long wanted to set foot in our place, if we ask the US Navy to escort us, then the United States will have sufficient reasons to enter our world, once the American forces enter, it will be unfavorable for our entire Arab world. Moreover, Khomeini is a staunch opponent of the United States, and if we put American power in, it will cause Khomeini to retaliate fiercely, what if he declares war on us? They only need to send a few of the same missiles to us Kuwait and it will cripple our economy. ”

Letting the Americans get involved here is definitely a very big impact, you know, the United States strongly supports Israel, and in the entire Arab world, the voice of opposition to the United States is also very strong, and asking the Americans to help themselves will put Kuwait on the cusp.

"The problems of our Arab world are dealt with by us Arabs ourselves." "I propose that we consult with Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar and other countries to form a 'Peninsula Defense Force', and we will organize our own escort fleet to protect the safety of our own ships," Fahd said. ”

Kuwait's own navy is not strong enough, but Iran has gone against the grain, and this move is not only a threat to Kuwait's shipping lines, but also to the shipping of other countries along the Persian Gulf coast, so these countries can jointly organize to deal with Iran!

When Fahd put forward this opinion, he deliberately omitted the latter country: Iraq, in addition to these countries, Iraq also relies on this shipping channel, but Iraq is a country that is at war with Iran, and if this organization even brings Iraq in, then Iran will become even more crazy.

Because of the weakness of the military, they are thinking about dealing with this incident on the one hand, and on the other hand, they must also consider the consequences, and they must not act excessively, so as not to provoke Iran!

"With regard to Iran's brazen attack on our oil tankers, first, we must express our strong condemnation of Iran through diplomatic channels; second, we must join forces with other Gulf countries to jointly discuss the establishment of an escort organization to protect the safety of our ships; third, we must continue to support Iraq's just war and completely destroy Khomeini's regime; fourth, we must also actively observe the opinions of the US side, and we can also ask the US Navy to escort our ships at a time of last resort." Emir said. (To be continued.) To be continued
