"Are you crazy? What do you think, you actually want to help the damn Persians escort?" Ibrahim jumped up when he heard Xie Kai say that he wanted to help the Persians escort.

Xie Kai didn't expect Ibrahim to be so excited, "Calm down, calm down." You are also a shareholder of the mercenary group......"

"It has nothing to do with whether I'm a shareholder in the mercenary group or not!" Ibrahim thought he shouldn't have boarded Shekai's thief ship.

The ship raid war, like the whole war, was first provoked by President Silly Damu.

Now let him go and tell the president, President, I want to earn money so that our warplanes don't attack the Persian merchant ships and oil tankers.

It is estimated that the president will reward him with a bullet.

"If they can't, the Persians will also attack the convoy escorted by the mercenary group. "When the time comes, either you will have to re-pay the advance or cancel the transaction." Or, you can find someone to transport the crude oil yourself. ”

"You're a threat!" Ibrahim jumped.

Xie Kai didn't want any face at all.

"Not a threat. General, you know, we need enough advances to put into production. Xie Kai said slowly, "Didn't the president of your country support the 598th war ceasefire resolution adopted by the United Nations Security Council before?"

Ibrahim really didn't think about it.

"If your country's army launches an attack on oil tankers and merchant ships, the mercenary group may counterattack the warships and warplanes that attack them for the safety ......of the employer's cargo," Xie Kai didn't mind threatening the other party at all. "Of course, it won't affect our deals. ”

"Xie Kai, you are inflated!" Ibrahim looked at Xie Kai, knowing that it was useless for him to object.

I can only say this.

Xie Kai didn't care about the other party's sarcasm.

Expansion is expansion, and making money in your hands is the king.

"General, you'd better discuss this matter, otherwise we won't be able to explain it to them. Anyway, with more security tasks, we can also make more profits, right?" Xie Kai didn't talk nonsense with Ibrahim.

As for whether he can deal with President Silly Damu, if the River Crab Mercenary Group gets involved with them at that time, it doesn't matter to Xie Kai.

The news of the participation of the river crab mercenary group in the escort was almost reported by the world's major media the next day.

It is impossible for the Soviet intelligence services and the European and American intelligence services to know the information that the journalists know.

These news, but they don't pay much attention to it.

Escorts from various countries may not work, what can a mercenary group do?

Silly Damu didn't say much when he learned that there were oil tankers coming in to transport oil.

Instead, he said to his generals, "Since our oil tankers and merchant ships are escorted by mercenaries, let's kill their merchant ships ruthlessly, I can't afford it, and see how the damn Khomeini can continue to carry it!"

The Persians did not accept a ceasefire.

Whoever on either side is now unable to afford a big battle.

Otherwise, if there is a ceasefire on one side, the offensive on the other side will be a little troublesome.

The Persians were reluctant to end the war, and everyone was relieved to earn a small amount of money.

Leonid Vladimirovich Shebalshin was furious when he received a message from the head of the Middle East, Dimikov Koltbatsky, whom he had personally appointed.

The Americans do not send fleets to the Middle East, what excuse do they find to escort them?

The fleets of the two sides are not together, how can they create friction?

"What is Dimikov doing? There is no progress in the war in Yemen, and now it is good, the Americans do not need to send a fleet to escort them!" Leonid did not know how to explain to his superiors.

The USSR needed to divert domestic attention.

That place in the Middle East is a powder keg.

They needed to send the mighty Soviet fleet to the Middle East.

"General, the offensive in South Yemen has been blocked, missile launch bases have been destroyed...... Saudi Arabia did not attack South Yemen when it was attacked, as we had anticipated, but defended the border...... Even, Europe and the United States did not participate in this war, but only paid mercenaries to fight......" The subordinates knew the general's anger.

It's not that Dimikov didn't work hard, but that the mercenaries appeared on the battlefield in a way they didn't expect.

"Then kill those mercenaries!"

"The GRU has lost 3 of its most elite squads, including Sergei's squad......"

The words of his subordinates almost made Leonid explode.

But there is no way to do such a thing.

"General, escorting ships in the Persian Gulf, no warships, no warplanes, just relying on soldiers to escort will not make much difference at all. The Persians smuggled a lot of mines from Korea to blockade the Persian Gulf...... "his men persuaded the general.

Although the Persians now have few warplanes, armed speedboats, missile boats, and even some patrol boats are not something that can be dealt with with light weapons.

"Let Dimikov keep a close eye on the situation, and as long as their escort fails, and the Americans send a fleet, we will follow suit! In addition, let him find a way to persuade the Kuwaiti royal family to submit a request for escort to us. ”

The Americans did not send fleets to the Middle East, and the Soviet fleet was not easy to send out on a large scale.

Some of the actions of the Persians, there were even Soviet intelligence services fanning the flames behind them, but alas, the Americans did not take it, and there was no way to do it, right?

Mercenaries are now entering the Middle East to escort convoys, which, if the problem is solved, will make it more difficult for the Soviets to enter the Persian Gulf region.

Everyone wants to control the oil in the Middle East.

If you control the oil of the Middle East, you control the economic lifeblood of the whole world.

There was a lot of oil and gas in the USSR, and the higher the price, the better.

Therefore, they wish that all the countries in the entire Middle East would be plunged into war, and when the time comes, several countries in the Middle East will be at war, and the Soviet Union's oil will have a greater market share.

"Rest assured general, Comrade Dimikov will definitely try. ”

Compared with President Silly Damu's disapproval, and the Soviet Union's fear that the success of the mercenary escort would affect their entire layout, in fact, it was the Kuwaiti emir Abdullah al-Sabah who was more concerned about the news, and they were the biggest sufferers in the ship raids in the entire Gulf region.

Iraq has always borrowed the most money from Kuwait, and 99 percent of Kuwait's domestic goods are imported, and as the war of ship attacks expanded, Kuwaiti merchant ships that could only be transported through the Persian Gulf were constantly sunk by the Persians.

I asked for an American escort, and the Americans agreed, but just to help them escort 11 oil tankers, that's useless.

It is the Kuwaitis who are most worried right now.

"Nasser, is the news true?" That night, the emir got the news that a powerful mercenary group had entered the Persian Gulf to escort the oil tankers transporting crude oil for Iraq.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Commerce Secretary Nasser replied, "The Americans have so far refused to send more warships into the Persian Gulf because they are afraid of the Soviet Union." I think we can use this mercenary force to protect our tankers and merchant ships. ”

Merchant ships could not come in, and all kinds of domestic prices rose outrageously, and even grain could not keep up.

The standard of living of the Kuwaiti people has declined dramatically.

"Can they afford to escort so many merchant ships?" said Abdullah al-Sabah worriedly.

They don't lack money.

It costs more to find an American escort.

"It is not known at the moment. However, it will soon be known that it will not take much time to get from the port of Muscat to Iraq. "I suggest we can see what happens and talk to them." ”

"What did the Americans decide about sending a fleet to escort them?" asked the emir.

The Americans have always been arguing about sending a convoy of convoys.

Congress has not authorized it until now.

The Reagan administration had this idea, but because the Soviets were now completely broken and broken, looking for excuses everywhere to create some friction to divert the discontent caused by the deteriorating economy at home.

"It is not possible to send an escort fleet. Once we send an escort fleet, the Soviets will likewise send more warships to the Middle East. In this way, it is easy to reach their wishes. ”

At the White House, CIA acting intelligence chief John Otto and others all sat together with serious expressions.

Secretary of State George Pratt Schultz was adamantly opposed to sending a fleet to the Persian Gulf, "There is ample evidence that the war between South and North Yemen was orchestrated by the Soviet Union." If we send another large fleet, it will further complicate the already tense situation in the Middle East. ”

"The Soviet Union has been sending special operations forces to the Middle East, and even their special operations units are directly involved in the military in South Yemen. John Otto also said, "The CIA's Middle East chief, Oster, has been following this matter for a long time. The African mercenary group has fought each other many times. ”

"Didn't the CIA do business with mercenaries? Maybe we could get those mercenaries to help escort them. "President Reagan didn't want to spend much more time convincing the damn members of Congress. "That way, there will be no more accusations of wasting taxpayers' money or even escalating tensions across the Middle East." ”

Everyone was amazed.

Leave the escort to the mercenaries all the time?

Do they have that power?

"Your Excellency the President, this plan seems to be more feasible, but the Persians have a navy and an air force, while those mercenaries only have individual heavy weapons, no warships...... "Defense Secretary Casper hurriedly objected, "This is a matter of national security, and our army should come forward!"

It's just a joke.

How can you leave the escort to a mercenary?

A strong U.S. Navy should have gained more presence in the Middle East, and now is such an opportunity.

It is better to keep the fleet in the Middle East on the grounds of convoy escort, which will be the most powerful force, and can even control the economic lifeblood of the entire world.

"No, if we send our fleet, the Soviet Union will follow it!" the secretary of state hurriedly objected, "as long as the mercenaries can solve this problem, we don't have to spend anything at all, the Soviet Union is no longer able to do it, and the economy can......'t afford it at all."

The economic situation in the USSR is clear to everyone.
