Chapter 649: Energy Crisis

However, all politicians in the world know that after the United States and Japan have carried such a big heel, it is impossible to do nothing but send troops to encircle them, so that the Chinese can continue to develop proudly, which is completely illogical.

Therefore, whether it is Asia, Europe or the Americas, people are speculating and waiting for the Americans to make a move, although everyone can't guess how the Americans will make a move, but everyone firmly believes that the Americans will definitely make a move.

Militarily, the Americans have nothing to do in the short term, because on the one hand, it is difficult to find excuses, and on the other hand, military deployment also takes time. And after the economic surprise silence, politicians around the world are more and more curious about what kind of weapons the Americans have to hit the Chinese who are in full swing.

The Americans did not disappoint everyone, but when the answer was revealed more than a month later, the Europeans found themselves angry and found that this time they had been shot while lying down.

"On August 5, 2019, at 19:08 pm local time, mysterious warplanes of unknown nationality attacked nuclear facilities in Tehran, angry Iranians claimed that it was the Israelis who launched a war of aggression against Iran, so Iran will retaliate against the Israelis, at 20:30 local time, the Iranians launched the first round of missile attacks, the Israelis said that that night, the Iron Dome anti-missile system intercepted 5 missiles from Iran, the Israelis declared, They will deliver devastating strikes on the Iranians' missile launchers and oil wells, among other things. ”

Looking at the latest news reports on CNN, ordinary people don't feel anything yet, but for the bigwigs in the Forbidden City, this is a very big event.

When the No. 1 leader saw the news, he informed the Politburo to immediately convene an emergency meeting to discuss the emergency. Taiwan's leader Zhu Dunru, who is visiting Beijing, was invited to attend the meeting, and after Taiwan joined the counterattack against the Japanese-US joint offensive, most people in the Politburo have been inclined to give Taiwan a chance to participate in the core political life of the country.

Zhu Dunru was a little excited when he walked into the mysterious inner circle of mainland politics for the first time, although this time he was only a non-voting member, because it will take some time for the political process on Taiwan to advance, and the formulation of the relevant Basic Law cannot be completed overnight, and the current management of Taiwan is still the same, so the leaders of Taiwan are still guests on the mainland.

Looking at the familiar faces appearing on the opposite side and beside him, Zhu Dunru was a little like a dream for a while, except for him, the people sitting here have the right to vote on major national affairs, which directly affects the work and life of more than a billion people, and also indirectly has a huge impact on the world.

Before Zhu Dunru, no one on Taiwan knew how the mainland's Politburo operated, and now that Zhu Dunru is the first person to participate in the matter, this first identity alone is enough to shine in the annals of history, and Zhu Dunru knows that although the chances of sitting here in the future are not very great, he does not need to participate in the election of the first leader after the reunification of Taiwan, after all, this is already the second term of his own Taiwan leader.

However, before the end of class, he was able to attend this meeting as an observer and win this power for future generations, and Taiwan should be grateful for his decisive decision at a critical moment.

He was in a reverie here, but the No. 1 chief pointed out his name and introduced it to everyone with a smile, "Brother Dunru is not unfamiliar to everyone, I don't think you need to introduce everyone who is familiar with it, and you will be more familiar with it in the future, today's matter also involves the fundamental interests of Taiwan Island, I believe everyone knows very well that what is happening in the Gulf of Iran is very important to us, so I invite Brother Dunru to come to this meeting together, so that we can brainstorm and come up with a good countermeasure together." As a family on the mainland, everyone should be in harmony. ”

After saying the opening remarks, Chief No. 1 continued, "Everyone already knows that the Israelis and Iranians are at war, and a new energy crisis will follow, as a major importer of crude oil, we will bear the brunt of the great impact. ”

"For more than a month before the war, the Americans announced tens of billions of dollars in military aid to the Israelis, and made the State of Israel the first country outside the United States to have F-22 fighters, providing them with 6 F-22 fighters, plus 48 F-35s, the Israelis became the only country in the Middle East with fourth-generation fighters. Intelligence shows that the Israelis sent more than 20 pilots to the United States more than three years ago to train F-22 fighter piloting skills. ”

At the same time, the U.S. military announced that it would increase its garrison in Baghdad to nearly 60,000 troops in three divisions, one of which was the main armored division of the U.S. military, and at the same time announced that it would arm five Iraqi American infantry divisions. Therefore, we have reason to believe that the Americans were behind this Israeli operation. ”

"It's just that we don't know how big or how long this war will be. But in any case, the Americans are very ruthless, and now our country imports nearly 400 million tons of crude oil every year, including as much as 350 million tons from the Gulf region and more than 70 million tons from Iran. Not to mention the inevitable surge in oil prices, this supply alone will be greatly affected, and the latest estimates from the energy sector suggest that if the war continues, we will have at least 200 million tons of crude oil imports. ”

"Because the Iranians have announced that they will attack oil tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz, this will make the export of crude oil from most Gulf countries face huge problems."

After briefly explaining the current situation, Chief No. 1 asked the members present, "The problem we are facing now is that whether we help the Iranians to resist the attacks of the US military and the Israelis or not, we will be in a dilemma: if we help the Iranians and make the war continue, the supply of crude oil will be in an abnormal state for a longer time; If we don't come to the aid of the Iranians and let the US military and the Israelis defeat the Iranians, then the entire supply of crude oil will be completely manipulated by the Americans, and we will face the same sky-high oil prices. ”

"Do you have any good ideas for the current situation?"

Although the members of the Politburo who were urgently summoned received relevant briefings, they were faced with such a grim situation all at once, and there was no good way for a while, so after the No. 1 leader raised a question, the conference room fell into a speechless silence for a while.
