200 Rue des des Laws, Brussels, capital of Belgium. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Net Book Network
A cross-shaped building, magnificent, everyone who comes here to visit, should take a group photo here, this is the most emblematic building in Brussels, the capital of Belgium, and the headquarters of the European Union, when it was completed, it was already the predecessor of the European Union, that is, the seat of the European Community.
Today, the atmosphere was solemn and the President of the European Union was radiant, welcoming those in Arab robes into the venue.
In the scene, there are flashing lights constantly.
Saudi Arabia's oil minister and other senior officials, who walked into the venue, as well as important figures from other OPEC member countries, are today's stars.
Here, they will sign an important agreement, and henceforth, the euro, as an official currency, will be used for oil settlements.
Although this negotiation was good, it was also very difficult. The EU knows what effect it will have on their economy to settle oil in euros, but OPEC members have also put forward additional political conditions.
OPEC countries must admit that the current situation, for example, Israel, has completely withdrawn from the stage of history, this country no longer exists, and all of it is Palestinian land. At the same time, later, Iraq tested nuclear weapons, and they added that they would abstain from voting at the United Nations, and that they could not impose sanctions on Iraq.
These conditions are simply trying to coerce the European countries into changing their national defense policies.
Therefore, the conditions for settling oil in euros were very tempting, but they could not impress them enough, until Iraq defeated the American aircraft carrier group at sea, and until Iraq tested nuclear weapons, all this became clear.
Israel. The Jews who lived there had been disarmed, and now they were of no use.
The Jews have money, but, in the present situation, it is simply impossible to organize another army, to confront the army of the menacing Arabs.
Able to support the Jews. It's the United States, and it's the same.
The Americans have a lot of armed forces, and they have a huge arsenal of nuclear weapons. At a time when Iraq is so arrogant, the Americans, of course, have to stretch out their hands and teach the Iraqis a lesson.
But, as a result, it was the Americans who were taught a lesson.
The megatrends of the world. Now it is very obvious that the United States, which is about to decline, has left the Middle East, left the petrodollar, and the Americans have overdrawn their national power for so many years. The rape of other countries' economies to sustain one's own luxury is finally coming to an end.
In particular, the last resort of the Americans. A nuclear strike is also impossible.
Under these circumstances, the EU countries finally reached a consensus: for the sake of Europe's own economic development, the agreement with OPEC was launched.
The countries of the European Union acquiesce in the current world order, including the areas controlled by the State of Palestine. Within the United Nations, in response to the sanctions proposed by the United States against Iraq. They abstained.
Abstentions are sufficient, because the United States will not be able to impose just sanctions.
The United States has also exerted a lot of pressure on European countries, but at this time, the pressure of the United States is no longer as important as it used to be.
At the beginning, the United States wanted the mark to appreciate, and Germany had to obediently obey orders, but now, the influence of the United States is no longer so great.
Even one Iraq can beat the US Navy to the ground with teeth, Americans, do you think you are still that powerful empire?
For the sake of Europe's own development, it is time for them to straighten their backs.
"Europe is an ancient economy, and now, we are very pleased to see that Europe is gradually moving towards a unified Greater Europe, and our Arab world, and Europe are becoming more and more closely connected, and Europe has a unified currency, in this case, we use the dollar as a settlement, which is outdated, so the use of the euro to settle the currency is a move by our OPEC organization to better contribute to the economies of both sides. The two sides will continue to deepen bilateral relations and promote continued economic development and the peaceful development of the entire world. "The Saudi oil minister made an enthusiastic speech.
In the flash of countless cameras, both sides signed a document.
This document represents the arrival of a new era.
Washington.
"This time, is the military well prepared when it comes to conducting military operations? The crushing defeat of our army, which has already caused tens of billions of dollars in losses, is on the path of the Vietnam War. A lawmaker asked.
"We had to send troops quickly, our troops in Israel were already surrounded by Arabs, and we had to rescue them." Rumsfeld said.
It is not only the president who will be questioned by Congress, but also important figures in the military, so they have seen this war, militarily, economically, politically, the United States has lost.
"So we're not ready?"
"Our army is ready at all times, and in order to protect our interests in the world, they can be thrown into battle at any time."
"So, what does the military want to say in the face of this string of defeats? Is it because we are not responsible, all because Iraq is too strong? ”
"No, this chain of defeats is a test for us, a test for us in the United States of America, and I think we were absolutely right to do so under the circumstances. Of course, the responsibility for the defeat of the war needs to be shouldered, and I ask to resign from the post of Minister of Defense. ”
"I don't think it's about the Minister of Defense, it's not about who is responsible, it's about how to change the situation. For example, what kind of methods should be used to completely attack the Arabs. Another MP said.
The U.S. Congress is also divided into two groups, one of which believes that the government should give an account of its unfavorable response this time, and the other part, which believes that the most important thing is the attack on the Arabs, of course, Jews are the majority.
The Jews are full of hatred, their own country, gone, their hope, gone. If the Americans do not come forward, then they will be forced to live around the world again.
For them, the United States must act, even if it is to use nuclear bombs to completely kill all the Arabs.
As for a possible Iraqi nuclear counterattack, they simply don't care.
Israel is gone, and what are they afraid of?
"What are the plans for the military to continue, for example, whether to use our nuclear weapons?" Another lawmaker asked.
"We now have a difficult choice, because Iraq also has nuclear weapons." Rumsfeld said: "If we were to use our nuclear weapons, we would also be attacked. ”
"That is, our army has completely failed, a huge army that has been squandered on the maintenance of our taxpayers' money, a complete failure?" The Jewish parliamentarian asked.
"It's not that we're failing, it's just that our power is going to withdraw from there." Rumsfeld said.
Suddenly, the parliamentarians let out a sigh.
"Without oil, our dollar, our economic problems, how to solve them, just a few hours ago, Europe has signed an agreement with the Arabs, they buy oil, they will use the euro directly, and the Arabs buy things in Europe, they will also use the euro directly, or the Arabic dollar, our American economy, will be hit hard." Another congressman asked: At this time, the person who was questioned above had been replaced by President Bush.
Bush's face was grim and he said: "The petrodollar system is an important pillar of our economy, and we will absolutely not tolerate such behavior by Arab countries." We have decided that we are going to completely freeze the money of the Arabs in our United States, to nationalize their real estate, and we are going to put pressure on the countries of Europe to cancel this adventure. ”
Bush also knows that this issue is even more important, and this is how Bush Sr. came down in the first place.
"In this way, will we be able to offset our losses? Now that our treasury bonds have been sold off in the foreign exchange market, our economy is about to see a sharp decline, and our dollar has been rejected by some countries, how can we deal with it in a more effective way? ”
This... Bush is actually not very good at economic problems, and he looked at the Secretary of the Treasury below, who was bowing his head, and he knew that there was no solution to this, I'm afraid.
Suddenly, a member of the military walked into the venue, apologized to the speaker who was presiding over the meeting, and then, walking directly to the president, whispered: "Emergency, our two B-52 bombers in Germany, an hour ago, disappeared from the radar screen. ”
Disappear and disappear, Germany is still far away. Bush was unimpressed by the interruption of his inquiry by this kind of thing, and this excuse could not get him away from here.
But then, what he heard was already completely moving: "Those two bombers, and the Tomahawk missiles that may be mounted with nuclear warheads." ”
Two B-52s, cruise missiles with nuclear warheads on them disappeared, and that was definitely not a trivial matter.
"Is it a wreck?" Bush asked.
"They didn't find the wreckage of the plane where they disappeared, they carried out an emergency operation, and the investigation found that the crew members of the two bombers were all Jews."
The Jews, needless to say, must have been flying bombers and trying to bomb the Arabs. Damn, if they succeed, the angry Qusay will definitely not hesitate to drop a hydrogen bomb over the United States.
The NMD that is being studied is absolutely unstoppable.
