When Sarah received the news and first sold 20 percent of the futures in her hand, the Iraqi side also began to take a stand. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ≦≧.

Iraq's oil minister appeared on TV and made a televised speech, in view of the recent special situation, especially the continuous rise in world oil prices, which is very inappropriate for the world economy, therefore, Iraq has decided to increase crude oil production from tomorrow!

The responsible officials of the oil-importing countries, who have been keeping an eye on the world situation, as well as those speculators with a keen sense of smell, are keeping a close eye on Iraq's moves, knowing that under the current circumstances, only Iraq can affect the current situation of the world's oil industry, and as long as Iraq increases production, oil prices will fall.

However, what they heard afterwards made them laugh and cry.

Iraq has decided to increase crude oil production, but only by 100,000 barrels per day!

100,000 barrels? This bit of oil is like a handout! You know, the reduced oil exports of those oil-producing countries are at least about 5 million barrels per day, what can they do with this little oil?

Countless people shook their heads, the price of oil, I'm afraid it will have to rise. ≦≧ at the same time, in the futures market, oil futures that were thrown by others began to appear, and greedy and bold speculators began to frantically absorb these futures, and now although the price of oil is high enough, there is a higher possibility!

After receiving the news of Iraq's increase in oil production, US President Ronald Reagan breathed a sigh of relief. This test has confirmed Iraq's attitude and stance, and that hard-line Qusay is actually inseparable from the United States, and he also knows how to judge the hour and size up the situation, and knows that what he needs must be obtained from the United States. However, Iraq has only increased production by 100,000 barrels, which is too stingy, and if Iraq wants to continue to increase production, it depends on how "friendly" the United States is.

Reagan immediately ordered the British ambassador to see Margaret Thatcher in the hope that Britain would release the captured Iraqi, but there was no direct evidence that someone had done it. I still hold on to it, even if you just expel him from the country, but now that the embassy has been kicked out, it still won't let go, which is a bit inauthentic, which is against international law. At the same time, he ordered Brightman to continue his visit to President Qusay, hoping that Iraq would significantly increase oil production. Meantime. It was also decided that all United States weapons that had already been imported by Iraq could continue to be exported to Iraq. ≦≧

Last time, Iraq consumed a large number of missiles. This re-import will also bring a large amount of profits to US arms dealers, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

This time it didn't take much effort. Brightman met President Qusay again at the Palace of the Republic.

"President Qusay, thank you very much for the change in your country's attitude, and your country can increase oil production and help the world economy return to stable and healthy development, which the whole world should be grateful to." Brightman said.

"As a major oil producer and exporter in the world, it is very important for Iraq to maintain stable oil prices, and we also attach great importance to friendly exchanges with your country, which has extended a friendly hand. Of course, we have to show our sincerity, and Iraq and the United States can develop together and achieve a win-win situation. Qusay said.

It is estimated that no one took what the two of them said just now, and these words have no gold content at all. They say this just to create a harmonious atmosphere for the unseen battle that is about to begin.

"President Qusay, now your country has increased its crude oil production, but your country has only increased its crude oil production by 100,000 barrels. ≦≧ to the gap in the world's crude oil demand, there are still millions of barrels. This is far from meeting the world's needs, can your country further increase oil production? Brightman asked.

The United States has already expressed enough attitude, Iraq has only increased production by 100,000 barrels, and the person in front of him must be seeking greater interests, thinking of Washington's bottom line, Brightman does not know that he can keep it.

"Our production capacity has reached the limit, and it is very difficult to increase it, and many of our oil equipment, after a year of use, should also be overhauled." "It's the increase in the production of 100,000 barrels of crude oil that has mobilized workers on the production lines of military factories, and has led to a decline in our weapons production, which can no longer meet our current needs," Qusay said. ”

"President Qusay, if this is the case, we in the United States can fully provide you with the reduced arms production, please make every effort to increase crude oil production, and we, the United States, will also contribute our own strength to maintaining the steady development of the world economy." Brightman said.

Knowing that the other party will speak, and put forward such a clumsy excuse, it is not credible at all, what workers have all run to produce crude oil, without training, can cāo make those equipment? Besides, Iraq has recruited a large number of Iranian workers in the occupied areas, and there is no such problem of insufficient manpower at all, these are just excuses, under the pretext of importing weapons from the United States. ≦≧

"But if we produce it ourselves, the price will be very cheap, if we import it from you..."

"We can export to Iraq at the best price." Brightman said that for the people in front of him, Brightman could expect the method of trying to lower the price, so he said in advance, those weapons are cheaper than the original export to Iraq, so it's always okay, right?

"If that's the case, then we thank you for your kindness." Qusay said.

"What weapons does Iraq need?" Brightman took out a notebook, no matter how good his mind was, it was better to use a pen, write it down first, and then ask Washington for instructions.

"I'm all set. ≦≧" Qusai said, taking out a folder from the cabinet behind him, and inside, there was a thick stack of materials!

The trick used by Qusay was simply a copy of the trick used against the Soviet ambassador last time, but it was still too shocking for Brightman, who experienced it for the first time.

Brightman felt very bad when he saw that the information was so thick, he wouldn't list all the weapons of the United States, would he? If he buys a nuclear bomb from the United States, can the United States sell it? Besides, does Iraq have so much money?

"You can look at the first few pages, that's the catalog, there is a weapon item on it, and the back is the specific parameters we need, all of which refer to the standards of your country's sales to Europe." Qusay said. Sensei wants to make a defective product to fool around.

Fortunately, only the first few pages are, Brightman turned the first page, and he was a little happy in his heart, and the above were all military products sold by the United States.

Three hundred Maverick air-to-surface missiles, four hundred Paveway laser-guided bombs, that's too much, right? Fortunately, the amount of the latter began to decrease, 200 Sidewinder missiles, 100 Sparrow air-to-air missiles, (these are to make up for consumption, after the introduction of R-73 short-range missiles and Sky Flash medium-range air-to-air missiles is officially produced, Iraq will say goodbye to the problem that the main battle air-to-air weapons cannot be produced on their own.) Fifty sets of avionics for the F-20. These are all things that the United States has already exported to Iraq, and it should not be a big problem to export them again, although the quantity is a bit large, but the larger the quantity, the more they will earn.

But, turning the second page, he felt his head buzz all the time. Two Link4 military data links, two long-range pre-jing radars, thirty UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters, thirty CH-47 Chinook helicopters, thirty AH-64 Apache helicopters... These are simply impossible, especially AH-64 helicopters, in the United States, Apache helicopters are only a small number of equipment for trial by key units, and have not yet been officially put into service and supplied to Iraq? No way.

Brightman opened the third page again, and when he saw the big guys, he instinctively wanted to stand up, how could this be exported to Iraq!

Kidd-class destroyers!

Although Brightman is not a military strategist, he is familiar with Middle East affairs, and he has heard of this Kidd-class destroyer, which is a first-class destroyer ordered from the United States during the Pahlavi period of Iran, with a full load displacement of more than 9,000 tons, and is a multi-purpose warship that can cope with attacks from the air, sea and water at the same time. However, in 79, when four ships were delivered, Pahlavi fell, and these four Iranian warships joined the US Navy.

Although Qusay controls the Iranian regime, he has too much control over helping the Iranian regime get these things back, right?

Down, he can't bear to look at it, -3 pre-jing machine!

Which of these things was stopped on the production line in Iraq because of a lack of workers? That is simply impossible for Iraq to produce! But can Brightman say that?

"President Qusay, this first page is okay, but the second and third pages are a little difficult, for example, this Kidd-class destroyer, which is already in service with the US Navy, how can it be sold to you again, you definitely don't want to ask for second-hand ones, right?"

This Kusai forgot, he casually asked for this thing, just to prevent future generations from falling into the hands of others, and this is for bargaining.

"Okay, then we'll tick this off." Kusai happily picked up the pen and drew a cross on it.

"And this -3 pre-jing machine, our order, has been scheduled for 88 years." Brightman decided to start from the back and talk forward, and get rid of the rest of the story.

Moreover, what Brightman said is also the truth, as a strategic pre-jing, the -3 sold too well, in addition to their own country, Saudi Arabia, Britain, and other countries of NATO, and even the arrogant Gauls, also ordered four, even if Iraq wants to buy it, it will have to wait four or five years, and what will happen in these years, no one can say.

Brightman also explained the reason truthfully, it's not that it won't be sold to you, it's that you have to queue up!

However, Cusai is definitely not a disciplined person, and he has to cut the line.
