――――――
What happened before, now for Salman, these problems do not exist, but it is extremely difficult for him to get the United States to send troops now.
Although the United States was also very shocked by the national disaster facing Saudi Arabia, ****** also immediately convened its own staff team to discuss a way to deal with Saudi Arabia.
Because ****** already knew very well, Salman would definitely contact him as soon as possible, and sure enough, Salman had not left Turkey yet, and a phone call came.
With the advice of the staff team, ****** already knew exactly how he should respond to Salman.
In fact, the United States is also discussing whether to send troops to Yemen, but it is clear that even the current United States has no way to send troops to Yemen.
In the face of Salman's request, ****** replied to him very simply, and there was no indication that the Houthis had sent troops to invade Saudi territory, and the power of the Saudi royal family still existed.
In addition, the current Afghanistan issue involves a large number of US military forces, and the United States simply does not have more troops to send troops to Yemen in the Middle East.
With a simple explanation, ****** didn't just send Salman away, but gave him a suggestion.
That is to unite all the countries in the world and put pressure on the Houthis to sit at the negotiating table, so that Saudi Arabia can really dominate the peace talks.
This proposal. When Saudi Arabia was preparing to use force against the Houthis, the United States had already proposed it.
At that time, if Saudi Arabia did not want to show off its force, it really followed this advice. Then Yemen will not be in chaos.
After all, the Houthis are not extremist groups, but tribal forces, and it is impossible for such an armed group to resist pressure from the five major hooligans, the European Union, and the whole world.
At that time, Saudi Arabia was also able to lead the peace talks, and it was completely possible to achieve a Yemeni political pattern that satisfied Saudi Arabia.
If Saudi Arabia had heeded such advice at the time, it would have been a good move, and now......
Saudi Arabia is clearly in too much of a hurry. The pace is too big, not only seriously pulling the egg, but also hitting the street directly. I fell into a big cripple, and now I'm afraid I can't even walk on my own.
In such a situation, the United States still has no reason to send troops, but how to get the missiles for the Houthis. The United States is super concerned about this.
Because of the appearance of this event. This means that in the world, a new threat has emerged that can endanger the interests of the US military.
The United States, which conducts security assessments of the world on a daily basis, has always paid great attention to such incidents.
Being able to provide the Houthis with more than 200 missiles in one go, and no one knows how these missiles got into the hands of the Houthis, is definitely not a trivial matter for any country.
on this. Naturally, the US side wants to investigate and come up with a detailed result.
If the Houthis used to come up with individual anti-aircraft missiles and other weapons and equipment, these are not very important heavy weapons. Many countries also have production capacity, which is very difficult to investigate.
However, 200 missiles are not more than 200 individual weapons, but powerful military forces that can destroy a country's national defense system in an instant.
In this regard, ****** has ordered the intelligence services to investigate the source of the weapons as soon as possible, and as before, all the spearheads are pointed at Iran and Russia.
Because these two countries are the only ones that can afford to justify supplying weapons to the Houthis.
However, no direct evidence has been found so far, but a full-scale investigation has begun.
Of course, there is another possibility, and that is that the Houthis imitate the Scud missiles, and imitate these missiles.
It's just that as soon as such a possibility appears, it will all be passed, and the Middle Eastern countries are generally in a state of industrial imperfection.
Only a handful of countries have the capacity to produce missiles like the Scud, and Yemen does not have the capacity to produce Scud missiles even when it is complete.
And the Houthis, it is very difficult to even produce individual weapons and equipment on a large scale, let alone produce engines for missile propulsion, even if it was the most primitive V2 missile in Germany back then, the Houthis could not produce complete technology for the Houthis.
Therefore, these missiles are certainly not weapons and equipment that the Houthis can produce on their own, especially these missiles, all of which are equipped with very advanced guidance and multi-functional warheads.
Ordinary Scud missiles, which do not have the ability to strike with precision at all, are technically a little better than missiles like V2, with a warhead of up to one ton.
But in fact, these two weapons, at most, can hit a dozen large targets at the city level, and it is impossible for them to have the ability to strike accurately.
The countries in the world that have this kind of missile technology, that is, those countries, among which Iran may barely have the ability to accurately strike surface-to-surface missiles, and Russia is the most powerful in this regard.
It is understandable that the United States has locked these two countries, but in reality, there is more to ****** in mind.
That is how to balance the situation in the Middle East again through this matter.
He doesn't want to waste more time and energy on what has happened, although the amount of damage caused by the missile attack on Saudi Arabia has not yet been calculated, but one thing is certain, the pattern of power in the Middle East has been broken.
Originally, the United States planned to relax restrictions on Iran in order to maintain a balance between Saudi Arabia and Iran, and the independence of the two countries is exactly what the United States wants to see.
However, after this disaster, it may be difficult for Saudi Arabia to recover in a short period of time and relax restrictions on Iran, which is not to let Iran dominate the Arab world.
At this moment, in my heart, I directly thought that I needed to readjust my plan for Iran, and I couldn't release Iran so quickly.
As soon as this idea appeared, ****** made up his mind directly, and at the same time, it could be regarded as a little comfort to kill him.
However, the most difficult thing for ****** is that the oil industry in Saudi Arabia has been completely destroyed, but the extent of the damage is quite serious.
The assessment results are not so fast, but through the news in Saudi Arabia, there is an unavoidable problem that cannot be avoided, that is, Saudi Arabia cannot have the ability to export oil in a short period of time.
Even to restore the original oil production volume, it will take at least more than a year to repair the production equipment of all the oil fields, and also repair the two ports where the oil is exported. (To be continued.) )
