"Also, I propose that we should hold a joint military exercise when the time is right," Qusay said.

Joint military exercises?There was a trace of surprise in Ye Fei's eyes. It is still very difficult for them to carry out joint exercises, because the distance between them is very far!

"Let's listen to it." Ye Fei said.

"Iraq dispatched two warships and a supply ship, and your country also dispatched two warships. How about conducting a sea exercise in the South China Sea of ​​your country?" Qusay asked.

South China Sea exercise?Ye Fei's eyes gradually brightened. Yes, it is entirely possible to carry out a joint exercise with a friendly country in the South China Sea.

Now, the Iraqi Navy has been wandering around in the Arabian Sea, and it is time to go out. This exercise is the first step for the Iraqi Navy to go global.

This is also a kind of pressure for the United States to let them know that the world is not what they decide!

While Qusay was in close conversation with members of the Eastern Powers, a meeting was going on in the White House.

The first thousand and seventy-three chapters in the Middle East is not simple

The current situation in the United States is not optimistic. Bush, who has just survived the fate of being impeached, is facing domestic economic problems.

The Middle East is very hateful. So far, the Americans have not tampered with their economy, such as freezing their funds. However, the Middle East did it first, and they began to throw away the US national debt!

U.S. treasury bonds can be circulated in the market, that is to say, anyone can buy and sell U.S. treasury bonds at will, but it is also mandatory. It is a challenge to the US economy, which the US absolutely cannot tolerate.

If they only throw out billions or tens of billions of dollars in national debt, the United States will admit it after gritting its teeth. However, the total amount of national debt of more than 1000 billion U.S. dollars is thrown out by Middle East investors, which makes them unacceptable .

If you want to issue national debt, you must have good credit. The United States guarantees its national reputation, and they are not afraid to issue more national debt, although there is actually a national debt ceiling.

But now, the situation is different. It is difficult for them to find a large number of buyers of national debts. Originally, the Middle East region could absorb a lot of their national debts, but now, those countries have all shamefully begun to sell US national debts!

Isn't this trying to mess up the US economy?The United States will never tolerate such behavior!

"Mr. President, our situation is not very good now." Treasury Secretary Nicholas Brady said: "Our fiscal deficit this year is expected to be about 500 billion U.S. dollars, and in order to stimulate our economy, we We intend to issue an additional US$1000 billion of national debt, but now it seems that we may not only issue less national debt, but also have to allocate part of the funds to absorb the national debt thrown out of the market.”

"By doing this in the Middle East, they are disrupting our financial order. We will absolutely not allow them to do this!" Bush said. He is not very interested in economics, but he also knows that Nicholas' words are Tell him about a crisis. If things go on like this, the US economy will be in crisis.

Therefore, he was very angry about the practices of those in the Middle East.

"We want to put pressure on the Middle East, especially Kuwait. They didn't have anything to do with it, but now they are involved. We absolutely cannot tolerate this!" Cheney said.

"What do you want to do?" Secretary of State James asked.He thought that Cheney would say the words of using force, but now, these words are really not easy to use.

If the Arabs can bow their heads in front of the absolute force of the United States, then these things will not happen later. The Middle East has now become incompatible with the United States.And if force is really used, they don't have enough excuses. After all, the other party's dumping of US treasury bonds is just a market behavior.

"We unite with Western Europe to suppress Middle Eastern countries and make them give up this behavior!" Cheney said.

Cheney also knows that under such circumstances, there is no reason for the United States to launch a strike. However, Western countries are very supportive of the United States, especially economically. They all come up with funds to support.

This time, unite with Western Europe and deal an economic blow to the Arabs!

Hearing Cheney's taken-for-granted conclusion, Nicholas said: "Western Europe will never do this. Now, they welcome the behavior of the Middle East."

"why?"

"Because, according to the flow of funds, we can analyze that after the Middle East investors sold our national debts, they repurchased the national debts of Western European countries."

hateful!Cheney immediately figured out why.Entry from the Middle East is to sow discord between them and Western Europe!

Although the political positions are similar and the military is connected with each other, economically, the competition between the United States and Western Europe is very fierce, and the countries in the Middle East have used this trick very poisonously!Western Europeans will definitely not stand on the same front as the American ones. If the United States suppresses them, it will only arouse their resentment.

"Then we will freeze the funds of countries in the Middle East that are in our United States!" Cheney said.They want to engage in conspiracy and tricks, no way!The United States is in urgent need of funds now, so let's take the funds that have been frozen for a while.

"If we did this a year ago, it would still be effective, but now, funds from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other countries are constantly flowing to Western Europe, and the funds remaining in our country are less than half of the original funds. Moreover, we There is no reason to freeze their funds now, so that they may also inspire new countermeasures." Nicholas said.

New countermeasures?What countermeasures can they have?

Bush asked, "Nicholas, tell me."

"They just sold our national debt, which only accounted for a very small part of their funds. If we freeze their funds, they are likely to adopt new ways to respond. In addition to continuing to sell our national debt, They may also sell our currency in the international market, then our dollar will depreciate too quickly and seriously damage our economy, and they may also use other currencies to settle their oil." Nicholas said.

"They absolutely dare not, that would mean war!" Cheney said.

The issue of the national debt has already given them a little headache, and another issue made them know that the issue in the Middle East is not that simple.

Palestine is declared a state!

The United States did not have much opposition to the establishment of a Palestinian state, nor did it have the right to oppose it. That is a matter for the Middle East.In later generations, the United States mainly played a coordinating role, helping Palestine and Israel to achieve the so-called peace.But now, Palestine announced the establishment of a state at this time, which is obviously a demonstration against Israel and the United States.

What the United States is most worried about is that a war will start immediately in the Middle East. The United States has just gained a foothold and is not yet ready for war.

In later generations, when the United States launched the Gulf War, logistical materials and personnel were assembled and prepared for a whole month.

Therefore, after Palestine announced the establishment of a state, they were highly nervous, and the Israeli army was ready to fight at any time.

However, after a few days of tension, they discovered that the situation was not as bad as they had imagined. If a war broke out now, the armies of the Arab countries should have been prepared long ago, but their military vacations continued.Soldiers were also not issued live ammunition, and there was no sign of a mass buildup.

Therefore, the United States is gradually relieved.

However, they know that the Arabs must have a countermeasure. If the Arabs send troops, then the responsibility of initiating the war and firing the first shot must be the Arabs' resistance. However, if they don't, they must have Other purposes!

At this moment, CIA Director William received a secret message, and immediately beamed with joy.

"President, the results of our investigation on the Lockerbie air crash have finally come out!" William said.

The Americans and the British worked for a long time to investigate the Lockerbie crash. Finally, after picking up all the wreckage, they found a small rag with explosive residue hidden in its fibers. Fragments of sè Babygro contained explosives, suggesting that it was packed in a bombed suitcase.

Not part of the blue sèBabygro label survives.Scottish detectives traced the tags to a batch of Babygro who were sent to a clothing store "Mary's House" in Sliema, Malta.The owner of the clothing store recalled that two weeks before the bomb attack, he sold the Babygro to a man who appeared to be a Libyan with a Libyan accent.

After continuing the investigation, they locked the suspects in two Libyan men. At this time, they were all in Libya!

Hearing the result of the Lockerbie air crash, Bush's eyes flickered with cunning. Now, Libya and Iraq are also fighting fiercely!The bombing of Libya last time had no results, but now, it is completely justified. Moreover, the leased air force base of Israel, together with the air force base of Turkey, almost does not need to dispatch naval aircraft carriers to attack Libya.

This time, it can be regarded as having enough excuses, let's see how Qu Sai will accept the move this time!

Bush quickly formulated the next course of action.

He didn't know that at the same time, the actions of the Arab countries in the United Nations had also begun.

According to the original UN resolution, Palestine is already a country now!Although the founding of the country has been delayed for so many years, the resolutions of the United Nations are still valid!

Therefore, Palestine needs to enter the United Nations as a member state, and to file a complaint with Israel, and ask the United Nations to rule that Israel needs to return the land of Palestine!

When I first heard the news, the Americans didn't take it seriously. Are the Palestinians crazy?Don't they know that it's useless to do so?The United States will not give them a chance.

However, when voting, the United States suddenly discovered that the situation was not good.

At the UN General Assembly, most of the countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America voted for it, with only a few abstaining. Among them, France and China both voted for it.

As long as more than half of the votes are obtained, the resolution can be passed. Therefore, although the United States strongly opposes it, it still cannot prevent the passage of this resolution.
