The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Chapter 242: Traditional concept of war

Yang Dongxu was very busy that day. In addition to filming, he had to read a lot of international newspapers. He even put maps of the Middle East in the room and the reported route and progress of Iraq’s march in Kuwait.

Don’t look at the fact that Iraq was beaten by the US military in later generations, and it can’t find the north. Now that Iraq is in the Middle East, it’s a big brother. Just look at that younger brother and beat that younger brother.

For example, one of the causes of the Gulf War was caused by the problem of oil extraction. Iraq owed some Arab countries debts, including Kuwait’s debt of $14 billion.

So he hopes that the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) will reduce oil production and raise oil prices so that he can repay his debts after making a profit. But Kuwait increased oil production and lowered its prices, hoping to force Iraq to resolve the border dispute between the two.

Afterwards, the two began to blame each other for several years and had no results. So this year, on August 1, 1990, the negotiations between Iraq and Kuwait on the oil issue broke down. Then Lao Sa sent troops directly the next day.

At this time, it was just over a year since the Iran-Iraq war. From this, it can be seen how much Iraq is hanging in the Middle East, and whoever does not agree will do it.

Of course, this is also related to international relations. After all, Iraq is standing behind the Soviet Union, a superpower that can currently compete with the United States. Standing behind it, such a "big brother" naturally sees no one. You dare to jump and I will dare beat you.

However, Lao Sa's popularity this time is obviously not clear, or that he is a little overconfident about his elder brother behind him. At the moment, my big brother is a bit uneasy at this time.

On March 11 this year, Lithuania announced its independence from the Soviet regime and began a referendum. This is undoubtedly the prelude to the disintegration of the Soviet Union, so this seemingly powerful polar bear is now suffering from internal and external troubles. At this time, even if he wants to take care of his little brother, he is a little helpless, so the Gulf War is doomed from the beginning.

However, these are not the key points that Yang Dongxu wants to pay attention to. What he wants to do now is how to shift the attention of the high-level from the war itself to the oil. Look at the chaos in the Middle East at this time, even if the country has not sent troops to'intervene' The ability to get some oil orders back from the business.

I have to say that this question is a bit ironic, because in the Middle East where oil is dry, the focus of the country is not on oil, but on the war itself.

That is to say, the above concern is that since the United States has sent troops, will the war further expand? After all, Iraq is close to the Soviet Union. Once the two superpowers fight, will there be a third world war.

In other words, since the United States has sent troops, it is the focus of high-level attention, whether it is from the strategic deployment or from the weaponry, to measure how big the gap between the military powers of the two countries is.

Of course, these are all things that need to be paid attention to, but Yang Dongxu thinks that the only thing that has been missed above is oil. This may be related to the current domestic environment, and China will be a superpower importing oil in later generations. But now China is an oil exporter.

Yes, you heard it right. China, which imports so much crude oil every year, is now exporting oil. And since 1978, they have begun to export oil to Japan and other countries. Since their own country’s oil needs to be exported, they will naturally focus on the Middle East on the war itself or US military power, not oil. Above.

So Yang Dongxu has a headache now, how to attract the attention of high-level officials to oil. Lithuania will not have much time left until it becomes independent of the Soviet Union, which means that the United States will not block the Soviet Union for its kindness to China.

When the Soviet Union fell, China was rising rapidly. When the United States set its target on China, it would be difficult for it to try to get oil from the Middle East. Later generations did not know how much they ate and how much money they had to spend in order to import oil. Think about Yang Dongxu's distress.

"Time is too tight, and there is no money." Yang Dongxu looked at the Middle East map in front of him and scratched his hair irritably.

No matter how frustrating the Middle East is now, as long as the United States begins to do so, the Gulf War, which may seem to cause the Third World War, will end in just one month.

This is a result that no one thought of. Before the United States announced its finger, no one would think that Iraq, which has been able to wage an eight-year war with Iran, has no power to fight against the US military.

So if there is money, there are too many things that can be done. Even if such things cannot be done, Yang Dongxu will need funds to recover after the war, whether it is Iraq sanctioned by the United Nations or Kuwait, which has been torn by the war.

And the only thing they can take out as collateral is only oil, so this is the best time to take oil fields from the Middle East. The price is low, and there are fewer restrictions on buying oil fields when the United States does not pay much attention to China.

What disturbs Yang Dongxu is that he who seems to be worth a billion dollars now has no money, let alone buy the entire oil field. He can't get the money to reach out to buy some oil field shares.

"NND, it's a loss, it's a big loss." Looking at a piece of fat just before him, he couldn't eat it. Yang Dongxu didn't say how crazy he was.

After staying in Hong Kong for another five days, urged by the old man several times a day, Yang Dongxu hurriedly edited the samples and flew back to Yanjing. When I just got off the plane, I didn't even have time to go back to the courtyard. I was directly picked up at the airport and sent to the old man's residence.

"The shelf is very big." The hair has become completely silver-white, and Zhou Yiren, with thick glasses and reading glasses, looks at Yang Dongxu angrily.

"What do you fear if you can't fight within a short time?" Yang Dongxu shrugged what I called.

If it wasn’t too hard for the grandfather to urge him, he actually wanted to come back in a few days. He didn’t want to finish all the finishing work of the movie and arrange it for release before returning. Instead, he wanted to break his head and could not think of how to allow the country to diplomatically take oil fields from Kuwait after the Gulf War.

You should know that the current international currency is the US dollar, but the country also lacks foreign exchange. It is no exaggeration to say that every dime's foreign exchange is closely watched. Buying oil fields that the country doesn't need at present with the foreign currency that the country urgently needs, let alone Yang Dongxu is now a 17-year-old child, and Zhou Yiren is only a member of the think tank. Even Zhou Yiren's decrees may not be passed.

"What do you think of this war?" Zhou Yiren was too lazy to ask Yang Dongxu nonsense.

"As long as the U.S. troop deployment is completed, it will lose Iraq."

"Oh?" Zhou Yiren stared at Yang Dongxu waiting for the following.

Yang Dongxu's definition of what Iraq must lose does not surprise Zhou Yiren, because the results they obtained during the research these days are also the same.

After all, Iraq seems to be strong in the Middle East. Before fighting Iran, it now started fighting against Kuwait. It even quickly destroyed Kuwait’s defense and forced the Kuwaiti royal family to flee to other countries to take refuge.

Whether it is still so powerful in front of the U.S. military is not necessarily important. What is more important is that the United Nations stands behind the United Nations, and Iraq is the invading party, so as long as the war time is stretched, Iraq will definitely lose.

Not to mention the United Nations sanctions and the multinational coalition, Iraq and the United States alone are not a heavyweight, one is a superpower and the other is a small country in the Middle East who wins and loses at a glance, especially in the Soviet Union. When I was my little brother.

However, their research is a research. Zhou Yiren still wants to hear what Yang Dongxu thinks about Iraq's inevitable defeat.

"If there is no such thing as an invasion or an invasion, the military powers of the two countries, Iraq and the United States, are not equal at all. The Army United States surpasses Iraq by a large margin, and the Navy and the Air Force United States dump Iraq 18 Street, so Iraq has no chance of defeating the United States."

"Not as bad as you said?" Zhou Yiren frowned.

Although Iraq is not a military power, it has never stopped wars in recent years, so the combat effectiveness of the army is very good. In addition, many weapons that are very advanced from the Soviet Union have been purchased. From the comparison of military power As far as Iraq is concerned, the United States is indeed much worse than the United States, but the United States is not pulling its entire army and weapons to Iraq.

So in Zhou Yiren's view, even if the US army is very strong, the combat effectiveness of the Iraqi army is not bad. There is still a battle between the two. It can be heard that Yang Dongxu's tone that the United States is playing Iraq seems to be as easy as shooting a mosquito.

"It doesn't look bad~www.ltnovel.com~ But that also depends on who it is, he can fight Iran, and even fight against Kuwait, but it is a side dish in front of the US military. You know. The equipment that Iraq seems to buy is very powerful.

But whether it is the United States or the Soviet Union, they will never sell the most advanced weapons, even for their own brother. So one uses weapons and equipment that do not know how many generations are behind. The other uses the most advanced weapons. This is like the one holding a machete and the other holding a submachine gun. Who will win? "

Zhou Yiren didn't speak, frowning and looking at Yang Dongxu. He also knew that the equipment of the United States was very powerful and powerful, and he wouldn't deceive himself. However, he felt that Yang Dongxu gave American myth a bit.

Advanced weapons and equipment are powerful, but fighting depends on people. Isn't New China coming all the way from Xiaomi plus rifles? In the face of the powerful United States and advanced weapons when resisting the US and supporting the DPRK, has China not won?

So he admits that advanced weapons are powerful, but advanced weapons are not artifacts, so the extent of the powerful weapons is still limited. In fact, not only do they think so, the people above almost think so. Not only China's top leaders think so, but also the top leaders of many countries in the world.

If Yang Dongxu was not reborn, he would feel that although the equipment of the US military is very powerful, Iraq still has the power to fight. As a person who came here, he knew very well what kind of impact the Gulf War had on the traditional concept of war formed since World War II, and it could even be said to be a huge shock.

"Don't talk about this first, what do you think of battlefield warfare?" Yang Dongxu knew that it would be useless to say more at this time. Only by letting them see it would they understand how terrible the new form of electronic warfare is.
