Chapter 521: The Storm Changes, Send Troops!
What is a win-win situation?
Win-win means I win three times!
This time to match the two sides, Sean first got a huge favor in the cloth family, and then made a lot of profits on this group of Middle Eastern dogs, and finally the arms trade here can also reach some cooperation with the military.
Don't think that Hurd and the others set the purchase amount to 80 billion and think that the procurement target has been determined, and Sean is not the military and the government, how can he have the right to decide what equipment to procure! It's the direction!
500 itself is to be given, 30 billion is really used for procurement, and it has to be divided into 5 countries, in fact, the payment is not so big.
Of course, Saudi Arabia's own arms procurement target this time is as high as 10 billion.
Fahd doesn't think that the 10 billion arms Saudi Arabia can absorb all by itself, but it doesn't matter, he has already planned it, part of it will be used to support Jordan, part of it will be used to support Egypt, and part of it will be used to support Palestine.
Total Siege of Israel!!
Close relations with the United States are true, but it does not prevent the Arab world from cracking down on oil people!
Saudi Arabia itself will not send troops, but if it has money, it can bribe others to send troops.
Everyone has their own calculations, and everyone doesn't feel a loss, but no matter how you make it, Sean will never lose.
...
Hurriedly returning from the Middle East, Sean did not go directly to Washington, but returned to his home in New York to rest on Deer Island for a few days.
No matter how busy he is, Sean attaches great importance to his family.
Women have to be sent away, and so many children have to be taken care of.
The family relationship with his children must be cultivated well and paid more attention, he doesn't want to be pulled out of his breathing tube one day.
As for Lao Bu's side, just make a phone call, "Three days later, you must surprise the president?"
"You translate to the translator, what a surprise!" Lao Bu laughed when he heard this.
"The surprise is that three days later, a big dog in the Middle East came over and paid 80 billion to purchase a batch of second-hand munitions eliminated by the U.S. military and connect them to the legs of His Excellency the President, understand?" Sean said loudly.
"Fake!" Lao Bu sat up straight suddenly, "80 billion, really?"
The original plan was that he knew, and it would be good if this group of Arabs could come up with 100 billion interest-free national bonds, but he didn't expect that 80 billion would be given for nothing now!
Second-hand arms are worth a few bucks, and it's not an exaggeration to give them bluntly.
This is truly a surprise!
With these 80 billion, he can speak loudly in Congress. "Okay, I'll wait for you, see you in three days.....
......
$10 billion may seem like a lot, but when it comes to the arms market, it's really not much to say how much to procure.
A retired Keeling-class modified version of the missile destroyer is $1 billion on this purchase!
Sean's price is less than 40 million.
In addition, there are a lot of matching supply ships, frigates, anti-submarine ships, etc., without submarines, this thing is too dangerous.
An F-14, Sean didn't bother to procure, put it in this arms purchase for a unit price of 50 million US dollars, of course, this is a new aircraft.
The big dog also wants to purchase the F-16, and the new one can't be used by the military, and the big dog does have invested in it, and the second-hand goods, the F-16 that has been in service for more than 10 years, the big dog family offered 400 million US dollars a plane.
The F-16 was purchased by the military for $19 million in fiscal 1991.
10 times the profit, or 10 years old goods, that's it, Lao Bu hesitated for a while before deciding to approve.
Saudi Arabia's purchase of F-16 is actually not aimed at stupid big trees, but Israel.
Israel purchased the F-16A/B in 1978, and this batch of aircraft was originally exported to Iran, but it happened that at this time there was a coup d'état in YL, and finally this batch of aircraft was delivered to Israel ahead of schedule.
It is Egypt, Jordan, Palestine, and Syria that Israel has relied on these planes to deter that it has gained a foothold under the siege of the Quartet.
198
In April 1, he shot down 1 Syrian Air Force fighter in the war with Syria, including an F-16A fighter with the number 107, which shot down 6.5 enemy fighters during his service career, and in Operation Babylon on June 7, 1981, he and 13 other Israeli Air Force fighters flew long-range, and successfully attacked the nuclear reactor about 20 kilometers southeast of Baghdad, the capital of YLK.
During Operation Babylon, Israel's planes were YLK that openly bypassed Saudi airspace and sneaked up on them, and the angry Saudis flew like thunder!
By the way, the second imported F-16 is Pakistan Railway, the time is 1981, Pakistan's air force is very powerful, there are real ace pilots, 86 planes were shot down by the Soviets in 14 years alone, on September 12, 88, 6 MiG-23MLD fighters of the 120th Aviation Regiment of the Soviet Army engaged two F-16s of Pakistan Railway, two MiG-23 were shot down, and the other four escaped...
To get back to the point, Saudi Arabia's procurement is not for its own use, and this arms procurement is just a cover, and the purpose is to spend money, so the price is too high and cannot be used as a standard.
In addition to naval warships and fighter jets, a number of radar equipment has been procured to better monitor the airspace.
The negotiations took half a month, and when the contract was finally signed publicly, the price of the order and the purchased goods shocked the world.
It's not that the amount is too big, it's not that the arms are advanced, but ....
Is the big dog in the Middle East so ***? Spent 80 billion to buy a bunch of second-hand rags?
With the reports, analysis, and comparison with the purchase price of the US military, a conclusion can be drawn without expert analysis, the big dog in the Middle East is stupid, there is a lot of money, come quickly!
When the people in the north heard the news, tears were left on their envious lips.
This group of Middle Eastern tyrants is so fucking rich, and the rich ones make people's hearts tremble, 80 billion military purchases, 20 billion interest-free national bonds.
Twenty Trick ++
.....
The only good thing is that no country jumps out against this army. Sell.
Kuwait has been occupied, and Saudi Arabia has been threatened by stupid trees, so isn't it natural to purchase some arms at this time?
No one is in a position to jump out against it.
Israel: Why did you report my ID card?
After all, it is the nail planted by the United States in the Middle East world to stir up the-stirring stick on the east and west coasts of the Middle East, and the boss still has to take care of the feelings of the younger brother.
......
signed a high-profile contract here, and Sean immediately ordered the TV station to start turning over accounts to Lao Bu.
Retired politicians, military bigwigs, and economists were invited to talk about this somewhat bizarre arms sale in the form of a symposium.
Why did the Arabs spend so much money on some second-hand equipment!
This is the president collecting protection money from the Arabs.
On this basis, retired politicians began to analyze how important the Middle East is to the United States and how important it is to petrodollars, and economists began to analyze how much a war with YLK would stimulate the domestic economy.
Finally, it is the retired general of the military who talks about the cost of arms preservation, the cost of destruction, and so on.
In the end, it was concluded that Lao Bu was very successful as president, and this time the United States killed three birds with one stone, win!
That's the importance of a mouthpiece, he can make a conclusion about a thing, make a label.
Then Jonas made another effort, and New York, Los Angeles, and Washington made a comeback, showing the trust and support of the 'American people' for the president.
The TV station took the opportunity to conduct a poll again, and no matter what it really wanted, anyway, in the report, the support rate of the Xiang Party and Lao Bu also increased.
Lao Bu is very satisfied, and the elephant party is also very satisfied.
After the Saudis came up with $100 billion in real money, the Donkey Party's previous arguments for opposition were also untenable.
$100 billion is in the hands of the government.
In addition to a part that must be used for military procurement and warfare, there is also a large part that can be used in other aspects, and there are many people who are eyeing this money
There is no shortage of people from the Donkey Party, supporters of the Donkey Party.
In these years, the rich are the uncles!
Even if there were still people in the Donkey Party who opposed the war, they would have to keep their mouths shut.
What's more, in the eyes of this group of old fellows in Congress, fighting a war or something is just a last resort.
We, the United States, the number one power in the world, the world's policeman!
It is very likely that after several aircraft carrier battle groups of the US military arrived in the Persian Gulf, the stupid big wood shrank back in fright!
No one really thinks that stupid Damu really dares to fight a tough war with the United States, right?
No way! No way!
It is not only the old men of the US Congress who have this idea, but also the White House, the top of the US military, and the American people!
In fact, the Soviets, the British, the French..... No one in the world could have imagined that stupid big wood was so iron.
Yes.
......
After the arms sales order was finalized and Lao Bu's proposal was approved by the National Assembly, the time had come to October, and the action against YLK, which had been completely stalled, was suddenly accelerated under the impetus of Lao Bu.
On October 1, 1990, under the order of Lao Bu, the aircraft carrier battle formation led by the USS Saratoga, the USS Kennedy, the USS Midway, the USS Roosevelt, the USS Raider, and the USS America, a total of six aircraft carriers, set off from various places and headed straight for the Persian Gulf.
At the same time, a total of 200,000 U.S. troops have been mobilized and will arrive in Saudi Arabia in seven days.
On 2 October, UNSCR 666 established a special committee to review food supplies in Iraq and Kuwait.
On the 5th, UN Security Council Resolution 667: condemning Iraq's attack on diplomats.
On the 7th, the United Nations Security Council Resolution 669: Requesting countries to provide more assistance for the Iraq-Kuwait issue.
On the 13th, UN Security Council Resolution 670....
On the 20th, the United Nations Security Council Resolution 674: Iraq was warned for the last time to withdraw from Kuwait, otherwise UN member states would be allowed to use all necessary means (i.e., means of war) to enforce the law
On the 21st, six US aircraft carriers arrived in the Persian Gulf, and 200,000 people completed the assembly in Saudi Arabia, including 1,200 tanks, 3,800 armored vehicles, and 800 aircraft, including 59 F-117A stealth fighters and 40 B-52 bombers.
The swiftness and resoluteness of the U.S. military's actions have attracted the attention of the whole world here!
On October 25, the United Nations Security Council Resolution 678, which set a deadline of December 15, 1990 for Iraq to withdraw from Kuwait, and authorized "the implementation of Resolution 660 by all necessary means".
On 1 November, United States Secretary of State Baker and Iraqi Foreign Minister Aziz met in Geneva for the last time before the war.
....
The world is not only the United States, but also the Soviet Union, and the north.
Although everything in the north at this stage is centered on economic construction, this does not mean that the north will not pay close attention to the international situation and does not want the world situation to be under its control.
Sean's capture of Natuna Island has already aroused the vigilance of the north, and now he has to send troops to the Middle East.
It is not only the United States that sees the importance of the Middle East and oil, but also Europe and the north are well aware of this and have a layout here.
On 10 September 1972, for the second time, the North used the P5 veto to reject the draft amendment to the Middle East to the Palestinian and Arab States.
The north has good relations with the Iranians, and at this stage it is also good with Silly Damu, well, and Syria as always.
Seven times a veto has been used for Syria.
In 2011, at the beginning of the chaos in Syria, our country vetoed a resolution on sanctions against Syria drafted by the United Kingdom and France....
It's always interesting.... It has always been the one who has been crazy about Syria at the UN
Anglo-French, not American ....
Why did Britain and France so actively support the opposition in seizing power? To whom is the chaos in Syria worse than that?
The United States does not want the Europeans to get cheap oil, and likewise, neither does the North.
To get back to the point, seeing that the United States really wants to use force, the north does not think that the stupid big wood can confront the United States, and once the war is protracted, then the United States will inevitably further deepen and increase its influence in the Middle East, and its control over oil resources will be deeper.
The economic development of the north is growing rapidly, the demand for oil is getting higher and higher, and the north does not want to be choked by the Americans!
Therefore, on November 3, Foreign Minister Qian arrived at YLK and tried to persuade Silly Damu to withdraw his troops from Kuwait and settle the dispute peacefully.
Silly Damu: Kuwait is part of Iraq's territory, just as Hong Kong is part of China, and the territorial issue cannot be negotiated.
Huff!
People are self-aware, but stupid trees don't.
The foreign minister did not give up his efforts, and for the second time persuaded Silly Damu again from a military point of view, and the north also shot arms against Silly Damu
, or Sean was in charge of transporting, and also sent a military observer mission.
As both the northern side of the YLK and the US military does not think that stupid Daki has a chance.
"Why not!?" Silly Damu frowned, and said in a firm tone: "The US military has nothing to fear, they have been fighting in Vietnam for 20 years, what is the result? The anti-war sentiment in the country is high, and the mess in one place finally runs away, and the US military can't even beat Vietnam, and they still want to come and beat me YLK!?"
Silly Damu leaned back hard, his chin raised, I, YLK, the third military power in the world, hit the money!
The foreign minister looked at the stupid big wood, and the whole person was stupid, isn't it, you really believe what you said about the third military power?
That's what the Vietnamese think too!
But well, Vietnam has indeed hardened the US military for 20 years, and in terms of military strength, YLK is indeed stronger than Vietnam, at least on the surface.
Of course, there are some things that the foreign minister has to say, and the Vietnamese can withstand the United States because they have the support of the north.
When the U.S. military invaded Vietnam, the great leader of 64 made a speech that the U.S. military was not allowed to cross the 17th parallel line, otherwise, I would have shot!
During the Korean War, the Americans didn't take it seriously, and as a result, they were beaten out of their hearts, and this time the great leader spoke again, and no one doubted the great leader's resoluteness and toughness in combat effectiveness!
The White House immediately ordered the U.S. military that it was absolutely not allowed to cross the 17° line.
The 17 degrees north latitude is south of Hainan, dividing the whole of Vietnam into two, and if the Vietnamese can't beat it, they will run back, and the Americans will not dare to chase after it, and with a sufficiently safe strategic depth and logistics base, this will be able to fight with the United States for 20 years.
Therefore, Foreign Minister Qian wants to ask: Are you calling for the US military? Can't scream! Don't you know if you don't have this ability?
