Chapter 424: America's Seesaw Oil War
Su Su smiled: "Okay, after saying so many holes in the American camp, you can understand why the United States has a super strong military and is so entangled and uncomfortable." Of course, it is very questionable whether the US Army is strong or not. Then this oil war is easy to talk about - the so-called oil war, to put it bluntly, is to control those few large oil producers, such as Saudi Arabia! β
"Or smash it so that he can't produce oil, like Iraq! Or if there is oil, he will not be able to sell it, such as Russia! As long as these points are done, the United States can price oil as it pleases, and petrodollars can be printed as they please, in a healthy state. Of course, after 2008, the dollar has begun to be printed as it pleases, but this is an unhealthy state of the Fed's self-indulgence, which is not to mention. β
Wang Qiang immediately understood: "In the Middle East, only Persia is left neither controlled nor smashed, but also anti-American, and happy to sell oil." β
Su Su smiled: "Yes, so as long as Persia, a big oil seller, is not beaten, China will be stable." And Persia is very healthy until now, and it still has two brushes of its own - the first brush is an ancient civilization that has been inherited for thousands of years, and the geographical location is quite superior, that is, there are many mountainous areas in the country, which not only blocked the invincible cavalry of the Mongols, but also withstood the strong period of the Arab Empire, and also made Persia invincible in the Iran-Iraq war, and of course also made the American army fearful. β
"Because the high-tech airstrikes of the US military have never worked on the mountainous areas, the army masters who are used to going out in Humvees are more afraid of the mountainous areas, which have been verified in Afghanistan. For the U.S. military, flat ground is the most comfortable terrain, and mountains and jungles are pits! β
Wang Qiang was happy: "It seems that the US military is riding donkeys in Afghanistan!" He also put a machine gun on the donkey, just like the machine gun camel in "Metal Slug"! β
Su Su said with a smile: "The so-called copper mule and iron donkey paper paste horse, in addition to the fact that the donkey is not fast, it is very suitable for harsh environments and high-intensity labor, it is much stronger than the horse, it is the best logistics livestock, there is nothing wrong." β
Wang Qiang sighed: "In the final analysis, the donkey cavalry is also a cavalry, which shows that even in the 21st century, the cavalry has not withdrawn from the sequence of modern warfare." β
Su Su smiled: "In short, judging from the performance of the US military in Afghanistan in the next few years, this mountainous area is indeed a big pit for the US military, but fortunately I didn't jump into it at the beginning." Since it is inconvenient for the U.S. military to occupy Persia as it did in Iraq, what does Brother Qiang say the U.S. military should do? β
Wang Qiang frowned: "Of course, it's like beating Iraq to a pulp, and it also smashing various oil extraction plants in Persia, so that he can't produce oil?" β
Su Su said with a smile: "Then the second brush of Persia is here - the terrain of Persia holds the Strait of Hormuz, here is the world's oil channel, as long as there is a war, Persia can block the oil channel by erecting all kinds of cannons and copycat missiles in the tunnel bunkers here, and all kinds of oil from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait cannot be transported, this problem is difficult to deal with - the whole world is against it!" Including NATO's Japan-South Korea allies of the U.S. military. β
"At this time, Europe is not of the same mind as the United States, and they both want to push the United States into the pit, and once the United States disregards the opposition, NATO will inevitably disintegrate in a wave of condemnation and opposition on behalf of the moon. At that time, it will be possible for Russia to realize its long-cherished wish to join the European Union, and even form an alliance with Europe, and so on and so forth......"
Wang Qiang was happy: "This brush is amazing!" β
Su Su smiled: "And once Persia is really beaten, the global oil price will definitely soar - then who will be cheaper?" β
Wang Qiang did not hesitate: "Russia! β
Su Su smiled: "Yes, Russia is a big player with thousands of nuclear bombs, and it will be troublesome for him to be resurrected." Therefore, a seesaw has been formed between Persia and Russia, two major oil producers, and if you press this end, you will definitely that end! So, Brother Qiang, what do you say the United States should do? β
Wang Qiangle said: "Then fight together!" Anyway, the U.S. military said that it would win two wars at the same time? β
Su Su laughed: "Then the US military will be busy." Originally, when the U.S. military was murderously stationed in Afghanistan, all of the above was taken into account, but this kind of trouble is nothing compared to the benefits of complete control of the Middle East, as long as it hits Persia, the petrodollar will carry a barrel of the earth for thousands of years, and Europe and Russia will not give in - so the U.S. military at this time in 2003 was determined to be strong, and as a result, at this critical moment, what was just said appearedββ"
Wang Qiang was happy: "Peninsula mushrooms, Japan jumped up excitedly and shouted Ya Yan Butterfly!" β
Su Su said with a smile: "Yes, China's face is silent, and its hands are spread out to show its innocence, but how can it really not act at all at the critical juncture of the millennium national fortune?" Therefore, the U.S. military has another big problem, and this time the U.S. military must reassess whether it should be reckless - and it is precisely because of so many tangled factors that the U.S. military missed the opportunity to attack Persia. β
Wang Qiang said with a smile: "At this time, China can be a melon-eating masses?" β
Su Su said with a smile: "Yes, there are so many pits, plus the domestic economic situation in the United States, China has seen it, and it can be used as a melon-eating crowd." Then the roadside bombs of the Iraqi people and the offensive of the Taliban in Afghanistan are all delaying the movement of the US military...... Every day passes, the US military's military spending is burning! By 2005, the U.S. military ran out of money - why was the U.S. so brilliant in the 90s, and the U.S. military ran out of money after two years? β
Wang Qiang said with a smile: "The money of the capitalists is the money of the capitalists, and the money of the US military is the money of the US treasury!" β
Su Su said with a smile: "By the way, so the United States is strikingly similar to the Ming Dynasty, the imperial treasury is poor and the military salary of one or two silver cannot be allocated, and those chaebols are extremely rich and golden, and they also let the literati incite the people to refuse to pay taxes." So the United States in this period is doing something more important...... Brother Qiang, tell me? β
Wang Qiang revisited the old and learned the new: "In 2005? Raising global oil prices and grain oil prices to force the appreciation of the yuan, we must shear China's wool! β
Su Su smiled: "That's right, but who is cheaper by raising oil prices?" β
Wang Qiang smiled: "Russia and Persia! β
Su Su smiled: "It's another seesaw, suppress China and jump the other two!" Do you think the United States is big? How to play this oil war? β
"Then in 2008, when the financial war between China and the United States was won or lost, and global oil prices plummeted, at this time the United States could finally implement what it wanted to do five years ago but did not have the opportunity to do, continue to suppress oil prices, so that oil prices are lower than the cost of production, that is, to suppress Russia and Iran at the same time, and force them into bankruptcy."
Wang Qiang frowned: "Then China can take advantage of low oil prices to buy in large quantities?" β
Su Su smiled: "Then Brother Qiang underestimates the United States too much." When the oil price is lower than the production cost, normal enterprises will reduce production and stop production, even if it is cheap, they can't buy goods. Not to mention, the United States specifically greeted Saudi Arabia and other controlled Gulf countries and had to cut production. β
Wang Qiang exclaimed: "Is it really damaged?" β
Su Su smiled: "It's a pity, China is not short of money at this time." Or signed a large oil purchase order for Russia at the previous crude oil price, which saved Russia's life. β
