"But they want to make amends, and this matter ......" Muhammad felt that he could not retaliate against the other party if he was beaten. "Our ship was bombed, people were killed......"

This is completely humiliating and humiliating.

If the superiors knew the inside story, no one could guarantee how serious the consequences would be in the end.

"They have evidence in their hands, and this is enough to explain to the Ministry of Defense. "Also, losing money is unrealistic, but there's no problem with crude oil." With so much crude oil, it is not possible to pay all the compensation, and it is completely possible to make a fuss about the price of crude oil. We can't get our oil out of the way, we can't sell it, they can, if we pay a little bit for every barrel of oil......"

$10 million, if $1 per barrel is paid, then the Chinese have to help them transport and sell 10 million barrels of crude oil.

Muhammad was not opposed to such an approach.

Very good indeed.

The two communicated for a long time, and even imagined all the conditions that Xie Kai would add, and only after making sure that it was correct, did they go to Xie Kai.

Without disagreements, negotiations are much easier.

When Xie Kai was talking to Hazari and his party about secret cooperation, the world's largest deadweight sea giant had already entered the Sea of Oman, and passing merchant ships and oil tankers waiting outside had seen this super tanker.

In fact, before this, many countries have already gotten the news.

The first to get the news was the Omani royal family, which is located on the very edge of the Arabian Peninsula and does not have to worry about the blockade of Hormuz.

The real worries are Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar, countries like Bahrain that need to pass through the Strait of Hormuz to transport oil for money.

"Your Highness, the Persians are too much, damn the Persians are too much! We must take measures, otherwise more and more oil tankers will be attacked by the Persians......" Samako Abdul, the brother of the Emir of Kuwait Jaber, is complaining to Prince Sultan about the Persians' crimes.

Not only Kuwaiti tankers were attacked, but Saudi tankers in the Persian Gulf were also attacked.

Sultan looked at Samako Abdul, frowned and said, "Your Royal Highness, haven't the Americans been sending warships to escort you?"

On 23 December last year, Kuwait formally applied to the United States Government to fly the United States Stars and Stripes on their tankers.

Until April of this year, the United States agreed to escort 11 Kuwaiti oil tankers and issued various weapons to Kuwaiti oil tankers to use against the Persian small armed speedboats that specialized in attacking merchant ships and oil tankers.

"Americans ......"

At the mention of the Americans, the resentment of Samako Abdul comes to life.

If the Americans are serious about escorting them, as for the big brother Saudi Arabia who came to the Gulf region?

The Saudis are a police officer in this area, and when Silly Damu first threatened to attack merchant ships, they took the lead in setting up a peninsula defense force, and even their air force shot down a Persian fighter plane that attacked merchant ships under the command of American AWACS aircraft.

"Your Highness, our government feels that this is an internal matter of our region, and it is better to solve it ourselves. At the beginning, King Fahd proposed the creation of a defense force for the peninsula, and now you are the commander...... "Samako Abdul did not want to say about the Americans.

Those bastards won't do anything but ask for money.

"What's wrong with the Americans?" Prince Sultan was a little surprised, the Kuwaiti royal family has always had a good relationship with the United States.

Although Saudi Arabia is said to be a police officer in this region, Silly Damu and Khomeini are not easy to mess with, military strength or something, Saudi Arabia, which has always just wanted to make a small amount of money with peace of mind, naturally cannot compare with them.

The Saudis are now also planning to pay the US fleet to escort them.

Kuwait has already had problems, can Saudi Arabia still find the United States?

"Damn the Americans, their warships not only do not escort, but even use our tankers to detect mines in front, and warships hide behind tankers...... "Samako Abdul also no longer hides.

Now that the police don't care, their remaining few tankers can only help the American fleet detect mines.

Just yesterday, when the 400,000-ton Bridgerton and the 350,000-ton Oil Prince led three warships escorted by the United States to pass through the west side of the Great Tunb Island, the American battleships knew that the Persians might have laid mines on the channel, so they did not go forward to clear the mines, leaving the tankers behind.

As a result, the 400,000-ton oil tanker Bridgeton was seriously injured by a mine in the channel 20 nautical miles west of the Great Tunb Island, and until now, the tanker is still burning, and it is not known whether the fire has been extinguished.

......Hearing this, Prince Sultan was shocked.

He couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"The oil tanker Bridgeton, it is not yet known whether the fire has been extinguished. Your Highness, we hope that your country will take the lead and lead us in the fight against the damned Persians! His Majesty Jaber said that we can bear part of the expenses for the purchase of warships and warplanes......"

The Americans are unreliable, so they will have to solve the problem themselves.

After all, the Middle East is the Middle East of the Middle Easterners, not the Americans, so they don't care whether the Middle East is peaceful or not.

"Your Highness, we deeply regret what happened to the Bridgerton. My country has ordered several warships to maintain peace in the region. However, it is not possible to complete the delivery in a short time. "Prince Sultan can only express regret.

In this area, they can't do anything, there was no navy at all before.

Who would have thought that the damned Persians would fool around like this.

"Are we just watching like this, Your Highness, they are not just attacking merchant ships, but laying mines in the shipping lanes!" stressed Samako Abdullah. "Your country's oil tankers and cargo ships have to pass through these waterways. ”

"I know, Your Highness, we will find a way!" Prince Sultan naturally knew.

As the supreme commander of the armed forces in the country, he had to consider these issues, otherwise he would be a little embarrassed if His Majesty asked him and he could not come up with a plan.

What happened to the Kuwaiti oil tanker not only made Kuwait big, but even the Saudi royal family was worried.

His Majesty King Fahd urgently summoned Prince Sultan in the hope that he would come up with a plan.

Looking for an American escort?

Only those who have a problem with their heads will do such things, and the Americans obviously only take money and do nothing.

Bahrain and Qatar, which were originally fighting, didn't care about continuing to fight at this time, but at the same time came to find a piece of police to maintain law and order in the Gulf, and brought everyone to resist the barbarian Persians.

These bastards are secretly laying mines on the fairway.

They have to rely on imports for food, drink, and entertainment, so do they use the king's plane every day to transport food and fresh water to the people of the whole country?

Although everyone makes a living by selling oil, and you can get a lot of beautiful knives by digging two shovels casually, this is not how the money is spent.

King Fahd had a headache for the representatives sent by several other countries to ask the Saudi policemen to take everyone together to oppose the evil Persians who did not allow everyone to eat, drink, and have fun.

In desperation, he could only continue to consult with Prince Sultan.

Prince Sultan was professional in this area.

"We have to find a way, the American fleet is unreliable......" King Fahd looked at his brother, hoping that he would come up with a plan that would satisfy everyone. "We can't look for Soviets, otherwise it will affect our relations with European and American countries. ”

"Your Majesty, it is not appropriate for us to set up an escort fleet on our own. The warships and submarines ordered will not be delivered until next year. Prince Sultan shook his head and said.

I really can't find a way to do it.

Everyone is willing to pay, but the problem now is that money can't solve these problems.

"Is it just to watch everyone's freighters and tankers being blown up by the damned Persians?" the king did not reproach his brother.

Even, he felt that Sultan was prescient.

Although I didn't oppose it at the beginning, I still had some dissatisfaction in my heart.

What navy does the Saudis want?

Even if both sides are close to the sea, whether it is the Red Sea or the Persian Gulf, they are all narrow, not to mention that there is no one with a strong navy around.

If Saudi Arabia builds a navy, it will not cause unease in the surrounding countries, and will it affect regional stability and peace at that time?

In the current situation, it is necessary to have a navy, and form a convoy of its own to patrol back and forth on the route, and the weapons on the small armed patrol boats of dozens of tons of the Persians have no way to get close, and the secondary guns on the warships can easily kill them with one shot.

"There's a way, and it's reliable, but it's not going to have a good reputation. Prince Sultan sighed, "Just the day before yesterday, an Iraqi oil tanker carrying 4.1 million barrels of crude oil passed safely through the Strait of Hormuz......"

"Tankers go out every day......"

King Fahd was puzzled.

Among the Gulf countries, except for Iraq, which can transport oil through the Turkish oil pipeline, Saudi Arabia can transport crude oil extracted from the Persian Gulf to ports on the Red Sea through oil pipelines, and Kuwait, Bahrain, and Qatar all have to rely on oil tankers to transport oil.

"The ship was escorted by mercenaries and equipped with advanced anti-aircraft and anti-ship weapons. "Here's a video ......," the prince said.

King Fahd was very interested in the video that Sultan himself had brought, but he could clearly see an anti-aircraft missile launched from a huge oil tanker to intercept two Exocet missiles, and at the same time, he could see the oil tanker attacking an armed speedboat.

In the whole video, there is no indication, especially which country the fighter plane that dropped the missile belongs.

The flight attitude of the anti-ship missile, who else can there be besides the Exocet?

At the end of the video, there is a crab flag fluttering in the wind on a huge oil tanker, and the hunting sound!

"What is this?" King Fahd did not understand what it had to do with them.

"According to internal information, this is the video that happened in the Persian Gulf the day before yesterday, and the oil tanker is the Sea Giant that helped the stupid big wood carry oil, and there are mercenaries escorting the ......"

"As long as they can keep the ship safe, talk to them!" King Fahd rejoiced, "after all, it is too troublesome to transport everything to the Red Sea and then by land." ”
