"At present, although the price of crude oil has not dropped to the lowest point last year, it is also within the range that we can bear, and I believe that as long as we make some moves that are harmful to Iraq's interests, it will certainly stimulate Iraq to reduce production and raise prices, and in this way, our economy will not be able to bear it." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info{{}}," said the new Treasury Secretary, James Baker.

After President Reagan was re-elected, the original Treasury Secretary Donald Reagan (not President Ronald Reagan, the name is like!) He resigned for health reasons, and was able to take over the post of finance minister of the new superpower, and James wanted to do a big job, but after taking office, he found that what he took over was a hot potato.

The U.S. economy has deteriorated to the point where even the gods are probably powerless! James is empty-handed, but there is a fiscal deficit of more than 100 billion US dollars, and the US market is full of Japanese manufacturing, automobiles, Japanese-made products occupy the market, electrical appliances, but also Toshiba, Hitachi and other major brands, even a roll of toilet paper, all Japanese!

The U.S. now has a trade deficit, which is a big threat to the U.S. domestic manufacturing industry, and he is brewing a plan to solve this financial problem. {{}}

Even a slight irritation of Iraq now, would have a catastrophic impact on the U.S. economy.

What's more, now Iraq has always been honest, its relations with the United States are relatively friendly, and it has not acted out of the ordinary, and Iraq is repairing the damaged oil pipeline in Syria at the same time. A second oil pipeline through Syria to the Mediterranean Sea is also being built until it is completed. will be able to export more oil. So, in terms of the interests of the United States. Maintaining the status quo is the mainstream.

The current problem has made them scratch their heads a little, if Iraq takes the opportunity to sit on the throne, it will be an implicit threat to the United States, and the United States must take precautions. This danger is nip in the bud, but the United States is not in a position to come up with any counterbalance to Iraq at all!

Originally, Israel was the most suitable choice for the United States to counterbalance Iraq. However, the current Israel is simply playing with fire everywhere, how can Perez be such a shrewd person, how can he do such a stupid thing! The top level of the United States is bitterly scolding Peres in their hearts, saying that if he gets acquainted with each other, the turmoil of this incident will pass as soon as possible, and the United States will still resume arms sales to Israel. {{}}

But now, it's simply impossible.

"What is Israel doing?" Reagan asked.

"It's good that Israel can protect itself now. Their air force is simply not able to achieve superiority over the surrounding countries. Weinberg said that although Weinberg was furious about Israel's last espionage case, after the incident passed, he still had to consider Israel, which is the national interest. Now, the number of third-generation aircraft around Iraq. It has surpassed the Israeli Air Force, and in particular, the Mirage 4000 equipped by Iraq, which is so powerful that even our own Air Force will not necessarily be able to get cheap even if it fights them. However, in Israel's current situation, we absolutely cannot continue to export F-15 and F-16 fighters to them. ”

"Some time ago, Israel proposed to us to order a batch of new PW1120 engines and avionics, and we expect that this is a precursor to the preparation of Israel's self-developed Lion fighter to start mass production. {{}}" said National Security Advisor John Pendecker.

They all know that Israel has been developing its own fighter jets, and it was converted into a Lion Cub at the beginning, even if it is now, it is developing a new type of Lion fighter, and the American engineers hired by Israel have been in contact with this project and have a high evaluation, believing that the performance of this aircraft will be no less than that of the American F-16 fighter.

However, it will take at least three to five years for this fighter to complete the trial production and enter service with the Air Force.

Now, the U.S. F-16 fighter has entered service in many countries, and the United States hopes that this fighter can become a universal third-generation fighter for NATO countries, replacing the existing second-generation aircraft in large numbers, so the United States absolutely does not want a new fighter to appear to threaten the export of F-16.

Therefore, the United States sells F-16 fighters to Israel at a very favorable price, and when Israel's F-16 fighters have a sufficient number, it will interfere with their current Lion equipment, and when necessary, the United States will also take strong measures to suppress this action of Israel's self-developed fighters. {{}}

But now, the United States has no reason, Israel has been sanctioned by the United States, and the fighter planes cannot be shipped, if it continues to suppress Israel, then the Israeli sky may really become Iraq's.

Hearing John's words, everyone was thinking about this issue, and after a few minutes of silence, Bush spoke first: "Israel is related to our interests in the Middle East, and Israel's weak air force cannot meet our checks and balances on Iraq, and in the case that we cannot change our attitude towards Iraq now, we need to help the Israeli Air Force regain its strength, so we have to support this kind of Israeli fighter jet, so that they can equip the Israeli Air Force as soon as possible, from the surface, Our sanctions against Israel are still going on, we have stopped arms sales, and those engines and other parts are spare parts that the Israeli Air Force needs, and we need to supply these spare parts to Israel. It would also circumvent the attention of those journalists. Let's go through this critical period first. {{}}”

You can't openly support Israel, you can't export fighter planes to Israel, and now, Israel is already going to build its own fighter planes, and the United States can't suppress it, it can only support it secretly! The United States also needs to continue to support the training of Jewish pilots at American bases, so that Israel's air force can recover as soon as possible. There are no losses of Israeli ground forces, the main thing is the problem of the Air Force.

By accident, or a blessing in disguise, because of this series of events, a fighter plane in the world that died without a problem in the future was finally born.

In the face of Iraq, which has risen in the Middle East, the United States has finally begun to take countermeasures, and it was originally Qusay who provoked several times to finally make the American people disgusted with the Jews, but the American top brass still remained sober.

Iraq has to develop rapidly, it has to integrate the Arab countries, that's one thing Qusay has to do, and he has done it very successfully. Only when the Arab countries are united, with Iraq as the backbone, and form a single core, can they become a powerful presence in the world.

In the process of Iraq's rise, it will inevitably violate the interests of many countries and will inevitably be regarded as a threat by the superpowers, but because of this, we cannot stop developing ourselves, and only when we are strong can we make a tough voice! Now in the Middle East, great changes have taken place, and the Arabs' waists have hardened.

Qusay is mentally prepared that as Iraq becomes stronger, one day, it will face hostility and threats from the United States, which he must face, but he will use various methods to delay the arrival of this moment, and with one more day of preparation, Iraq will become stronger.

Moscow, USSR.

Gorbachev was listening carefully to the analysis of Defense Minister Marshal Sergei Leonidevich Sokolov: "Since ancient times, we have been looking for a passage to the Indian Ocean, and the Middle East is also very important for our strategy, so we have been supporting regimes in the Middle East, such as Egypt, such as Libya, but now, these regimes are now eye-to-eye with Iraq, and Iraq has a faint leadership position in the Middle East, so for us, It is very disadvantageous, because Iraq is different from Egypt, and Egypt at the beginning was completely tilted towards us, but now, the relationship between Iraq and the United States is very close! ”

After the death of the previous Minister of Defense Ustinov due to illness, Gorbachev breathed a sigh of relief, young is capital, young, and burdensome, because he is young, so he is not qualified enough, in particular, he was able to come to power, and the support of Ustinov and Gromyko is inseparable, Gorbachev's attitude towards them is very friendly, however, the views between the two sides are sometimes very different.

Fortunately, as the commander of the most powerful Soviet Red Army and the most powerful senior personnel of the Soviet Union, after the death of Ustinov, Gorbachev was replaced by Sergei, although this was also nominated by Gromyko, but Sergei no longer has the momentum of Ustinov, and he supports Gorbachev's opinion.

Sergei was born in 1927, participated in the war of the Far East Army against Japan, participated in World War II, has been rising by military merit, rich combat experience, before becoming Minister of Defense, has been as the former enemy commander-in-chief with the Soviet Army Turkestan Military District 40th Army 108th Division into Afghanistan, since then served as the head of the Soviet Ministry of Defense in Afghanistan operational command group, on April 28, 1980 Sokolov was brave and resolute, selfless and selfless work in commanding the combat operations sent to Afghanistan, And received the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.

In fact, Gorbachev was reluctant to let Sergei be the Minister of Defense, because Gorbachev had always considered the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan, which was simply a denial of Sergei's final battle, but, at Gromyko's proposal, he still agreed.

After really taking over power, Gorbachev felt that in fact, all this was not the same as he thought, because there were many hidden forces, and he finally saw that as the leader of the country, he still could not display his ambitions.

Fortunately, Marshal Sergei had great respect for Gorbachev and agreed with Gorbachev's insistence on perestroika to improve the status quo in the Soviet Union.
