――――――
Cai Ruichen secretly supported the Houthis, and this matter was actually a secret deal between Cai Ruichen and him when he came to participate in the completion ceremony of the Future Science and Technology Building.
That meeting was monitored by the Americans, but the Americans couldn't see the note that Cai Ruichen passed to ****.
is very excited, coupled with the hint of the big boss, he also made a decisive choice.
Because **** knows very well that the only way to solve the crisis in Russia is to raise the price of oil and natural gas, which is the root of solving the crisis for Russia.
But **** also knows the United States very well, and when the contradiction has not been resolved, it is impossible for the United States to let go casually.
And there is one thing that will not change the strategy of Russia's great power formulated by ****, that is, the oil and gas exported by Russia are not settled in dollars.
At this point, it is impossible for the United States to let go, and it is also an imperative great power strategy for Russia to contend with the United States.
It is impossible to bow to the United States, and it is very clear what an adversary like the United States will choose, and the United States is suffering from such economic sanctions. It's much stronger than Russia.
In order to solve this crisis, the **** can only start from Saudi Arabia, although Saudi Arabia has foreign exchange reserves of 800 billion US dollars.
But Saudi Arabia is also a country that wants to save face. He has always regarded himself as the supreme boss in the Middle East, and he has shown no mercy to Middle Easterners of other faiths.
Originally, in Russia's view, Saudi Arabia's two-sided war was the best, but the plan could not catch up with the changes, and solving the Ukrainian problem was also a major strategic interest.
The problem of Syria. There is no more saber-rattling like before.
But the plan against Saudi Arabia can't be just settled, Russia is inconvenient to do it on its own, and Russia is beyond the reach of the whip. There is no way to secretly support the Houthis.
All this is done by Cai Ruichen, and it just so happens that Cai Ruichen also wants to plunge Saudi Arabia into the quagmire of war.
As for oil prices, he actually prefers to keep them at the lowest level. Because of the oil in Iraq. In fact, he only mastered a part, and the Iraqi government mastered a little, and the rest had long been divided between the United States and Britain.
Part of the Iraqi oil in the hands of the Future Technology Group was directly acquired by the US oil company through means, and secretly controlled the oil in Iraq.
There is also a part of the little benefit that the United States specially gave to him, and it is also a little sweetness for the United States to win over the Future Technology Group.
And Cai Ruichen has never exported even a drop of oil. All the oil extracted is stored in the oil depot. Didn't even move.
The function of technology to drill oil wells and recover oil has become a fund, and it has basically been shut down by him.
Because the funds obtained by relying on ore are completely sufficient to use, compared with the price of crude oil and the proportion of funds, it is really not cost-effective.
What's more, oil will also be needed for the Red Guard Corps operation in the future, and there is a big buyer behind him who is ready to buy the oil in his hands.
The most important thing is that once he turns his face with the United States, Cai Ruichen will also use all the crude oil reserves to create a little trouble for the United States.
If oil prices continue to fall now, Cai Ruichen can also continue to store the extracted crude oil and use it together in the future.
And such low oil prices will also make Russia and the United States fight even harder.
He needs Russia, but he doesn't need a too strong Russia, if Russia can consume more with the United States, Cai Ruichen is naturally happy to see it.
Dead friends are not dead and poor, not to mention, Russia in the future will not necessarily be friends, but more enemies, and national interests are above all ********.
The situation in Saudi Arabia is also what Russia wants to see the most, but Russia is probably quite aware that the United States will not allow oil prices to rise in the end.
Otherwise, the oil war waged by Russia will be tantamount to a lose-lose situation for the United States, and it will not achieve the results that the United States wants to see.
The reason why I want to get in touch with myself in such a hurry is probably directly related to this matter.
Because compared with the United States, which is still able to grit its teeth and hold on, Russia's current situation is really very bad.
The Russian ruble has fallen by 60 percent, although because of the government's regulation and control, and the Russians all understand that this economic pressure is all from the United States sanctions, so that the **** support rate has not only not declined, but has increased, and it has also allowed the Russians to unite as much as possible.
Russia's economy and consumption, although a bit sluggish, are still very stable.
The plan of the United States to use this to hit the prestige and support rate of **** can only be declared a failure.
But this does not mean that Russia is really peaceful, and the situation is not really as acceptable as it seems.
Russia's foreign exchange reserves, which are already less than $50 billion, are simply not able to amortize this year's fiscal deficit.
The Russian government's economy will face the risk of bankruptcy, and at the same time, a large amount of foreign debt will also be fully defaulted, because Russia simply does not have the money to repay all its foreign debts.
And the amount of this foreign debt, which is as high as a staggering $400 billion, is obviously not something that Russia can afford in a year's time.
At that time, all enterprises and industries in Russia will be in default if they will not be able to repay their loans.
If there is no help from outside funds, only the price will continue to fall, and Russia's debt crisis will erupt without suspense.
This crisis can cause more than 50 percent of companies and enterprises in Russia to go bankrupt.
The Central Bank of Russia will not be able to come up with extra money to help these companies, and Russia's Zengge financial sector will collapse.
At this time, even if you grit your teeth, you can't insist, which is no longer something that can be changed by relying on personal charm and ability.
Even if Cai Ruichen is put in the position of ****, there are only three ways he can think of, one is to bow to the United States, one is to raise oil prices, and the other is to seek strong foreign aid.
At present, the only countries that Russia can use as foreign aid are his hometown and Cai Ruichen, and his hometown has helped Russia a lot, and a $400 billion natural gas contract has given Russia a good respite.
Cai Ruichen also wanted to get it, **** must have recruited the big boss, and then he came to him.
Therefore, he didn't know whether he wanted to use this chip or not, because he knew very well that the other party was actually here to borrow money, and it was as simple as that. (To be continued.) )
