Chapter 533: Brother Mu analyzes the situation

The Port of Aden is a deep-water port and is the transportation center of the country, with three major highways alone intersecting here and then leading to major cities across the country. The www.biquge.info passes north through Lahj to Taiz, east through Baihan to the northwestern part of Hadramo, and east along the coast through Howwar to the towns of Mukara. To the east, the road along the coastline is very straight, almost sticking to the straight coastline to the east.

There are two peninsulas in the port of Aden, one is called the Aden Peninsula, which is larger, and the other is called the Lesser Aden Peninsula, which is smaller. Between the two peninsulas, the Shamsan and Muzalqam hills are like two arms, protecting the port of Aden in the middle, preventing not only the big waves from rushing into the port, but also the monsoon winds from the northeast and southwest.

The water area of the port of Aden is about 70 square kilometers, and the port consists of three parts: the outer port, the oil port and the inner port.

The focus is on oil ports.

It is located in the northeastern part of the Aden Peninsula, adjacent to the Aden oil refinery, and the bustling oil port can be seen from the top of the church where Li Mu is looking. There are four berths, which can both refuel passing ships and dock 10,000-ton oil tankers, with a channel depth of 14.7 meters and a berth depth of more than 15 meters. The Aden refinery also exports large quantities of refined oil products.

In fact, when Li Mu and the three of them then used half a day to drive to familiarize themselves with the environment of Aden Port, they all found that with the natural conditions of Aden Port, if it is placed in China, it is absolutely a first-class seaport.

"Officer, you are very knowledgeable, can you give us an overview of the situation in Yemen, we don't know anything about this country. The main thing is why the Saudis are fighting it. Du Xiaofan asked with interest.

Li Mu, who was driving, glanced at Hai Lanqing, who was the co-pilot, but this woman liked to sit in the co-pilot, and it stands to reason that the protected object cannot sit in the front row, but she can't resist her. It can be seen that this is a woman who often likes to control the situation, a female officer.

Hai Lanqing's eyes left the tablet in his hand, raised his head, flipped through his mind, and said, "Yemen, it's poor. ”

"Well, we've seen that with our own eyes. Li Mu nodded.

Glancing at Li Mu, Hai Lanqing said, "The grievances with the Saudi royal family will start in 1934." In that year, the Kingdom of Yemen was defeated, and the British took the opportunity to force the Yemeni royal family to sign an unequal treaty, and it was also from that year that Yemen was divided into two parts, the north and the south, fell into British hands, and later became the Democratic Republic of Yemen. To the north is the Republic of Arabu Yemen. The seeds of civil war were planted, and until now, the fighting has been stopped, stopped, divided and merged. ”

Du Xiaofan said disdainfully, "The British have not done anything good, leaving a mess everywhere, and there is no place in the world where there is no shadow of the British." This country, in fact, is quite hateful. ”

Li Mu said in agreement, "Ten thousand times more insidious than the Yankees, the Yankees are above board." Fortunately, the British are not feeling good now, and they have not taken a breath from the economic crisis. I'm afraid it's going to get worse. ”

He changed his words and asked Hai Lanqing, "Officer Hai, you haven't said the reason why Saudi Arabia wants to attack Yemen." ”

"What's the hurry. Hailan glanced at Li Mu, and then said, "It will be unclear for a while to explain the details, and the relationship entanglement here is very chaotic." Simply put, it is a war between Shiites and Sunnis ****** religion. The Houthis are already closing in on Yemen's capital, Sana'a, and if they take Sana'a, then Saudi intervention is basically inevitable. ”

"Why?" Du Xiaofan asked.

Li Mu glanced back and replied for Hai Lanqing, "It's very simple, because the Yemeni president is pro-Saudi." ”

"Did you guess it or did you already know. Hai Lanqing asked.

"As you can guess, our people usually have a relatively closed environment, and there is no way to understand these national events. Saudi Arabia is Sunni, and you just said that it is actually a war between Shiites and Sunnis, then it is clear that the Houthis represent Shiites. The conclusion is obvious. ”

Hai Lanqing glanced at Li Mu in surprise, nodded and said, "The analysis is good, and I have the mind to be an official." ”

Li Mu and Du Xiaofan both laughed and didn't take it seriously.

In fact, Hai Lanqing just said it casually, but everyone didn't expect that Li Mu would indeed become an official, and it would be faster than everyone imagined!

"That means if the main Houthis attack the capital, then the Saudis will definitely attack, right?" Du Xiaofan asked.

Hai Lanqing nodded, "There is no suspense." Moreover, Saudi Arabia will unite several other Sunni countries to form a coalition to show off their muscles. ”

"It seems that there is something in the words?" Du Xiaofan also heard it.

Hai Lanqing looked at Li Mu, "This time, can you still guess?"

Shrugging his shoulders, Li Mu said, "It's hard to guess, but judging by some information I learned from the news, I can still give an answer." ”

"Oh yes, let's hear it. Hai Lanqing said with interest.

Du Xiaofan also looked at Li Mu and waited for the following.

Smiling, Li Mu glanced at Hai Lanqing and said, "I'm afraid it's related to Iran." ”

Hai Lanqing suddenly looked at Li Mu in even more surprise, with disbelief written all over his face.

Seeing this situation, Du Xiaofan knew that Li Mu was right again, but he still couldn't figure it out, "Hey, I said, what's going on, why don't I understand, how can I get involved with Iran." ”

Hai Lanqing and Li Mu glanced at each other and said, "Let's talk about it." ”

Li Mu lit a cigarette, held the steering wheel with one hand, and said slowly, "Not long ago, the United States lifted economic sanctions on Iran, so you know about it." Don't think that you can't fight with Saudi Arabia, after the lifting of economic sanctions, Iran's oil can be exported in large quantities, and the silver will definitely come in an uproar. What about Iran, why is this country sanctioned by the Yankees, because it engages in nuclear weapons, and it promised not to engage in nuclear weapons, and the Yankees set the condition that civilian nuclear energy be legalized. This series of changes means that Iran's national power will take off, and let's not forget that Iran has no less oil than Saudi Arabia. ”

"Okay, here's the point. Saudi Arabia is Sunni, what about Iran, that's right, a strong representative of Shiism. Iran is not a small country like Yemen, but a big country in the Middle East. In the Middle East, Iran or Saudi Arabia will have the final say. Saudi Arabia specifies that you will not let Iran sit big. At this time, the Shiite Houthis came out to make trouble, and what a good opportunity to flex their muscles. I dare to conclude that Saudi Arabia will definitely use the most advanced weapons and equipment in future wars, and the fight against the Houthis is secondary, where the Houthis are opponents, and showing Iran their military strike capabilities is the key!"

After finishing speaking, the cigarette was finished, Li Mu threw away the cigarette butt and closed the car window.

At this moment, not only Hai Lanqing, but even Du Xiaofan looked at Li Mu in surprise, and forgot to close his mouth.

In any case, Du Xiaofan, an ignorant person, is completely aware of the current situation in Yemen, and it is miserable enough to think that Yemen is a stage.

Hai Lanqing was surprised by Li Mu's insight and analytical ability to understand the current situation, which was not like the ability of a young officer who was only twenty-three years old - he didn't even have time to go to military school!
