Chapter 371: Contact
The war in Iraq is in full swing, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that this war is coming to an end. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the only effective resistance they created, Karbala, Sheila, and Hindiya in central Iraq...... etc. There was a brief exchange of fire between the two sides. All the world saw was the rout of the Iraqi army.
But Hou Dasheng knew very well in his heart that in fact, Iraq and the strongman's Republican Guard did put up a comprehensive resistance. The battle was fierce for a while, but it was not the US military that rushed to the forefront. Rather, it is an armed force consisting of PMCs. Only when the dangerous area is knocked out will regular US troops enter.
Such a war is very simple, and the war zone does not allow journalists to cover it at will. All media are regulated, and coverage is only allowed in areas permitted by the coalition forces, otherwise safety is not guaranteed. After several war correspondents died inexplicably on the ground, the rest of the war correspondents wisely chose to follow the coalition decision.
The war has not suffered more than fifty American losses from today to the present. Even a herd of pigs could not have just hit such casualties. After all, Iraq's hundreds of thousands of troops, even a tenth of the number of swimmers are in the tens of thousands. Tens of thousands of people just caused dozens of casualties in the opposing army? Ground battles with almost no casualties?
This is probably something that only the coalition can declare. Of course, this is not to say that this data is false. It's real. But what it didn't announce was that the PMCs were at the forefront of the battlefield. The most dangerous capture mission was carried out.
What the Iraqi side has not announced is that, in fact, their main force, the Republican Guard, has been abolished. Now on the battlefield, the main combat forces are actually those mercenary units that their leaders have paid for. Their only self-confidence is in these mercenaries.
The Guard, itself, has all but been scrapped after the Gulf War and years of economic blockade. Over the years, Britain and the United States have never stopped weakening Iraq. From the clean-up of weapons of mass destruction, to the no-fly zones to find all sorts of excuses to bomb their military installations.
He even continued to infiltrate the guards and infiltrate the authorities, even though the strongman ran out of dodging methods. First the purge and then the promotion of new people, but almost everyone saw that he was gone. It's only a matter of time before it's picked up. So, smart people at least choose neutrality.
Some careerists are used as cannon fodder. Of course, they also died at the hands of the strongman - although the strongman had no way to deal with Britain and the United States at the time, it was still possible to strike at some ambitious fools.
"According to the predetermined plan, the war will end next month. Casualties are to be kept to 200. Hou Dasheng had returned to Houjia Village at this time, Yan Jian'an and Wang Zongguang had already come to Houjia Village, in the old house of Hou Dasheng's family, and the two sat solemnly in front of Hou Dasheng.
They all want to know how the situation in Iraq will develop next. This war shook the world greatly. Countless people's eyes are about to burst out, and some people analyze that this will be the graveyard of the United States. The lessons of Afghanistan were too painful.
The entire Soviet Union spent more than 40 billion rubles, and it was bleeding profusely for almost a decade. In the end, this dragged the Soviet Union to a terminal illness. Others believe that this is not the same as it used to be. The United States may play a different glory.
No matter what kind of analysis, it cannot be denied that the United States has been preparing for this war for too long. After the end of the Gulf War, the United States began to make preparations. No matter which president comes to power, he will unswervingly weaken and strike a blow at Iraq.
Ongoing economic blockade, the establishment of a no-fly zone. Strikes against any military installations they may have in place are carried out without interruption. At the same time, they have coaxed and deceived Iraq to use the name of the United Nations to force Iraq to give up its weapons of mass destruction.
That strongman is really the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time. If it is in the era of bipolarity, or in the era of tripartite wrestling between the European Union, China and the United States, perhaps he will have more room to dodge. It's a pity that Huaxia was also practicing hard at that time.
The European Union, which had just emerged a little shadow, did not have the strength to contend with the United States on its own β and of course, the main reason was that the EU did not think about having any influence in Iraq at the time. On the contrary, with the help of NATO, the United States coerced a number of European countries into participating in the war.
"We don't care what the ultimate fate of Iraq will be, that's already a certainty. We now want to know more about what this war will do to us. Wang Zongguang hoarsely said to Hou Dasheng: "You also know that with our development, crude oil is becoming more and more important to us......
Development means that a lot of resources will be swallowed up. Steel, crude oil, copper, aluminum, tin...... and so on. And steel and oil, these are the two major industrial lifelines. At present, oil in the Middle East is undoubtedly what everyone wants.
The U.S. occupation of Iraq means that they have a lot of control over crude oil. Even if Huaxia wants to cultivate internal strength, it has to enter these resources. But in this regard, Hou Dasheng doesn't seem to think that it will affect too much. saw him smile slightly, and said softly: "Why do you need to set your sights on the Middle East? True, they do have the most oil. But that doesn't mean that others don't have ......"
"We know what you mean, but how to engage with Russia is a big question." But I saw Wang Zongguang say in a deep voice: "It's not that we haven't tried to contact them. But in this regard, there is something strange about their reaction. Maybe we're both trying to get to the bottom of each other for the time being......"
Hou Dasheng looked at Wang Zongguang and said softly: "This war will change many things, including our relationship with Russia. We need to develop, they need to recover. However, that country in the Pacific certainly does not want such a thing to happen. What we need to do is to huddle together to keep warm......"
"My personal advice is to strengthen the connection with them. In this regard, perhaps the service provider can give us some assistance. Hou Dasheng paused and said softly: "I can't say much about the rest, I can only tell you." Even in Russia, service providers have enough influence. β
When Wang Zongguang heard this, he couldn't help but nod with bright eyes. It's not a good feeling to be stuck in the neck. It is a matter of course to look for more ways out. Especially the person who might get stuck in your neck, hoping to make something happen in your house.
That's even more terrifying. Hou Dasheng looked at Wang Zongguang and said softly: "Another point is that I think we can increase our efforts to enter Africa." Now the main focus of the United States is placed on the Middle East. After all, the interest in crude oil over there is large enough. Their energies are not so distracted. β
"The European region is also shrinking, and the EU wants the countries to be able to synchronize their actions. In the end, it is the European Community that will be reached, so that they will have enough strength to return to the main stage. Hou Dasheng lit the table and said in a deep voice: "But I also believe that it is impossible for Americans to do nothing." β
Wang Zongguang smiled slightly and nodded: "So, Americans won't have too much energy to focus on Africa." The same goes for Europeans. This is the time for us to enter the ......."
"Quietly enter the village, don't shoot and don't ......" Hou Dasheng smiled, and Yan Jian'an on the side frowned and snorted: "What you said is simple, but a behemoth like a service provider comes in, are you sure it's a good thing for us?!" β
What the service provider has done, Yan Jian'an knows clearly from the archives of the courtyard. These people are monsters that devour profits, and there is nothing like justice and evil in their eyes. How many people died, they didn't care at all.
This is also one of the reasons why they were completely expelled from the newborn Huaxia before. Of course, at one time they were very unwilling to do this. This can be seen in the service station they have set up in Xiangjiang. Of course, those sites were once in the field on the Chinese side.
This situation did not change until China finished the war to resist US aggression and aid Korea, and even developed nuclear weapons on its own. Service providers are not stupid, they know exactly what this means. So, their attitude softened. Attempt to make contact. This situation was broken again, and it was the appearance of Hou Laohu.
The unreasonable Hou Laohu directly crushed the ticket person at the service provider. Directly trampled on the regulations of the service station, which greatly angered the service provider. The two sides once again entered the phase of the Cold War. The dΓ©tente again came after the complete death of the Soviet Union. However, contacts between the two sides have also been extremely cold and limited.
It wasn't until the British economist who ridiculed him succeeded in his prediction that service providers began to turn to Huaxia. The appearance of Hou Dasheng was an accident. This chance opened their eyes to some possibilities for expanding their contact.
"There is always a risk in everything, and any risk brings a corresponding benefit. If the risk is high and the benefit is small, then we will definitely not do it. Hou Dasheng still smiled at Yan Jian'an: "Uncle Jian'an, there is indeed a risk for service providers to enter. But does that mean they won't enter China? β
Without waiting for Yan Jian'an to answer, Hou Dasheng gave his own answer: "They definitely will!" With the opening up of Huaxia, I even think that they may have someone who has entered Huaxia. It's just that they're not in the business of a service provider. It's not the name of the service provider. But let these people lurk, it is better to let them be in the open. At least we can know what they're doing and dictate what they can't do. In this way, everyone does not have to play dumb riddles, and it also reduces the cost and risk for both parties. What do you think?! β
