American TV series
Chapter 535: Draw lots to choose the king
The Gulf War has come to an end, but its impact has just begun.
In just 43 days, the U.S.-led allied coalition caused approximately 100,000 casualties in Iraq. In addition, more than 400 aircraft were damaged in the battle, and more than 5,000 combat vehicles were scrapped, causing direct economic losses to Iraq of 2,000.
One hundred million U.S. dollars.
In Kuwait, as much as 1.5 million tons of oil was leaked into the Gulf due to the war, and the ignited oil wells burned more than 50 million tons of crude oil.
If you drive and consume 10 liters of gasoline every day, the wasted oil is enough to last a car for 10 million years. The sulfur compounds and thick smoke caused by the burning fires have been drifting to the Himalayas.
At the same time, the technology and new tactics displayed by the US military in the Gulf War taught the world a good lesson.
In order to cope with air superiority and electronic warfare, various countries attach great importance to air defense missile projects. Air defense systems represented by Russia's S-300 and S-400 series have become popular around the world. In addition, in order to deal with the interference of electronic warfare aircraft, countries around the world have vigorously
Promoted the development of satellite technology.
Thirty years after the outbreak of the Gulf War, the world's military science and technology is developing faster and faster, and various countries have begun to.

.
Well, the British Empire has fallen, the French are not up to par with their manpower, the Russians are resting on their laurels, and only the five gangsters are left in the north, which is really a crazy pursuit, and the United States doesn’t know whether it regrets it or not.
Another impact is that there is no third military power in the world. ---
However, this incident has nothing to do with Sean. My sword has long been thirsty!
Over there, Lao Bu is still arguing with various countries at the United Nations on how to deal with YLK issues, such as war reparations and the new ***.
Sean here has already begun to send people into the ylk occupied land... ahem, and started to help the ylk people with post-war reconstruction work.
Sean had greeted Norman privately a long time ago and asked him to focus on taking care of the oil-related industries such as the Ylk refinery. Of course, it was not to protect them, but to blow them up cleanly!
If the old ones don’t go, the new ones won’t come in!
The Ylk people were defeated, but the war reparations would not be less. The domestic oil industry chain collapsed. What did the Ylk people eat, drink, and how to repay the money?
How to carry out post-war reconstruction without money?
Then the only way is to sell resources. This is all calculated. Otherwise, why would Sean alone get 20%, which is the same as the sum of the British, French, Dutch and others.
In addition to selling YLK's oil well mining rights, related refineries, oil storage depots, oil pipelines and the like must be rebuilt. If they don't have money, they can only find someone to join a joint venture. The economic lifeline will naturally fall into the hands of the seven sisters Gashorne.
The Umbrella people entered YLK to lay the foundation for post-war reconstruction. The first step was to occupy these oil wells and the damaged refining-related industries to prevent further damage.
To put it bluntly, it’s to guard against oil thieves!
Sean had already learned from Lao Bu in advance that the result of YLK's treatment would not be delayed for too long, and the result of the treatment of the 1.1 million soldiers had been agreed upon, that is, disbandment!
Ylk not only invaded Kuwait this time, but also triggered the Sixth Middle East War, causing the largest casualties and economic losses after the Vietnam War. In order to prevent the emergence of careerists again, it also wanted to warn other careerists, such as Cardano.
, ylk’s handling method will learn from the handling method of notebooks during World War II.
The Ylk people are prohibited from having an army and can only form a self-defense force with a limited number. In the end, only 100,000 people may be retained, and the remaining 1 million people will be disbanded.
These are 1 million fucking people who have fought in wars and seen blood, and many of them are veterans who have been fighting since the Iran-Iraq war. Is this a joke?
Even laying off 1 million ordinary workers will cause great social chaos, let alone veterans holding gun barrels. How will you live after being laid off?
In addition, this is the Middle East, white hat religions have huge influence, and various sects are incompatible with each other. Oh yes, there are also ethnic issues...
It is foreseeable that the future of ylk will definitely be a war.
According to the intelligence in Sean's hands, most of the 600,000 US military coalition forces are maintaining security in major cities including Kuwait, some are guarding more than 1 million prisoners, and some are helping to put out fires. This has led to chaos in Iraq.
Woke up.
Those local tribes seized oil wells and abandoned refineries, stole the oil and sold it to some oil smugglers at low prices to make profits.
As soon as the Gulf War began, international oil prices skyrocketed. Iraq and Kuwait accounted for 14% of global crude oil production. It would be strange if prices did not rise. This naturally spawned some smugglers.
Anyway, the crude oil here comes out by itself, so there is almost no mining cost.
Now Sean's job is to snatch back all these oil wells and equipment. Now, these things are his own! What the hell do Ilk people have to do with me!
Rockefeller and several other oil companies in the United States have already sent over employment contracts and paid for the first year's security costs, so the protective umbrella will naturally start to take action.
In contrast, Umbrella has begun recruiting personnel again.
This time, the recruitment will be expanded by about 10,000 people, mainly from the US military who are about to retire.
Of course, Umbrella also registered a security company in Iraq again and recruited a group of local soldiers from Iraq to do some peripheral work. It is initially estimated that this group of people will not be less than 20,000 people.
It's not okay to hang out in other people's local areas without benefiting the locals at all.
Doing business is not about fighting and killing, but also about being humane. If you fight all day long, you can't make people suddenly angry. Then why do you need to extract oil and transport it?
Sean understands this very well. It’s only 20,000 people and it doesn’t cost much.
In 1990, Iraq's per capita GDP was US$10,468, and in 1991, its per capita GDP was US$22.
.
.
.
What does zeroing mean?
Just erase everything before zero!
There is definitely no comparison between more than 20,000 people and 1 million, but that's all Sean can do to give him face, and it's not like he doesn't have other jobs. In the end, the interests of the US military must also be guaranteed, and some of it must be distributed.
---
The specific details are handled by the people below. Sean's main job is to communicate with the US military, and also with people from other major oil companies who are gradually sending people over.
Half a month after the ceasefire, the United Nations finally settled the matter. The most important item was the amount of war compensation that Iraq needed to pay.
As for the election of the new president, Sean did get involved. He communicated with Lao Boo on this matter many times.
"I am opposed to another bullshit president and democratic elections. Sean thinks it is not suitable for the Middle East. It is better to maintain the traditions of Iraq and create a hereditary and irreplaceable royal family."
"Isn't a democratically elected president more advanced and democratic?" Lao Bu said on the phone.
"What does it have to do with us whether it's democratic or not?" Sean sneered, "Even if it's democratically elected, the credit won't fall on you, uncle, so what's the point?"
"As for the royal family, there is no problem in saying that Iraq is their private property. It will not be so easy for you to lie down and suck blood from Iraq. Just like Saudi Arabia, didn't it also participate in the establishment of OPEC and put Rockefeller in
The interests of the Middle East have embezzled most of it." Lao Bu objected.
He witnessed that period of history. The first oil well in Saudi Arabia was drilled by Rockefeller.
"What is blood-sucking? How can this be blood-sucking?" Sean stopped immediately. "This is to help them rebuild after the war. We are the righteous party, okay?"
Old Bu smiled and said nothing.
"The royal family has the benefits of being a royal family. Although private property will make them more disgusted with people like us, it is precisely because of private property and hereditary inheritance that they are more careful and their ambitions will not be so big. These democratically elected presidents have no fucking
An honest man!" Sean scolded, "Every one of them, including Mr. Kazuo and others, including those from Venezuela, are damn capable and can be manipulated."
"Compared to the royal family, it's much better, let alone
Everyone is a waste, but the family has a big business, and for the sake of inheritance, everyone is cautious, but it is better... to cooperate."
"There is no need to think about control, but when choosing between national interests and royal family interests, their first consideration will always be the royal family interests." Sean sneered, just like those big families in the north.
It is clearly written in the history books that they did not care who became the emperor, it would not affect them anyway.
The power of these emperors is not much greater than that of the royal families in the Middle East, so what, they are not trying to compromise with the scholar-bureaucrat group.
The country is naturally divided into two opposing factions. In Sean's opinion, this is easier to control. They can stand outside the circle and be the referee, as long as the balance between the two sides is ensured.
Sean, including the oil groups behind him, have also seen clearly that this is no longer a few decades ago, and the era of eating alone has passed.
Win-win cooperation can last for a long time.
Besides, if you start brainwashing young people through methods such as studying abroad, the control effect may not be bad.
On this point, Sean has communicated with Mr. David and other companies before, and everyone supports Sean.
This cooperation model has been tested by the market. Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Bangni all cooperate in this way, and there is a mature system here.
On the other hand, look at the presidential system, look at Venezuela, look at Libya, they are all negative examples!!
Regarding Sean's request, Lao Bu raised no objections. He is the president of the United States, not the president of Iraq. The specific system to be implemented has nothing to do with him.
As for how to find a royal family to rule Iraq, there is a ready-made Hashemite family in Jordan. Faisal I of the Hashemite family established the Hashemite dynasty in Iraq in 1921.
It's just that unlike the Hashemite family in Jordan, which has been passed down to this day, the Ilk Hashemite dynasty has passed down three kings.
Faisal I, Ghazi I, Faisal II. In 1958, the July 14 Revolution led by Qassem broke out in Ilk, overthrew the Hashemite dynasty, and all its royal members were killed. The Kingdom of Ilk
perished and the Republic of Iraq was established.
Shadamu came to power only after overthrowing Kasem.
The reason why the Iran-Iraq war was eagerly launched in the first place was because a large number of people in the country believed that only the Hashemite family had the legal right to rule YLK.
Therefore, if you want to rule Iraq legally and convince the people of Iraq without any opposition from the religious community and get support from other Arab countries in the Middle East, the easiest way is to select someone from the Hashemite family in Jordan.
Just come out and restore the Ilk Kingdom.
Of course, this will definitely not be chosen from the sons of the current king. There is no need for Sean to teach Lao Bu. He will choose a mediocre one from other branches of the royal family to ascend to the throne.
When a new king comes to power, he will naturally move closer to the United States, which supported his rise to power. It is obvious who has the upper hand. Jordan is already beyond its capabilities to deal with the Israelis, and cannot help others at all!
Well, sometimes the relationship between the side branches and the main line is not much better than that of enemies...
Although in the words of old man David, Soros is not worthy of the title of capitalist, he is just a top capital operator who is good at financial analysis and stock market and foreign exchange operations, but Sean needs this guy now.
I had always planned to meet Soros, but I was stymied by matters at ylk. Sean is not here, who is qualified to deal with Norman and discuss the overall choice of ylk with Lao Bu?
Therefore, Sean could only make a phone call to Soros and ask him to come to Saudi Arabia to meet him.
The old man Soros is 61 years old, in good health, with his gray hair neatly combed. He wears a blue suit, walks vigorously, and gives Sean a big hug when he comes up.
I don’t know where the enthusiasm comes from.
If it weren't for Sean's invitation, Soros would still be living happily in the United States. The old guy is having fun, even though he is 61 years old.
The meeting place was in Athens, Greece. Sean’s original plan was to be in Dubai.
The meeting had a nice view, but it turned out that this madman, Silly Damu, dumped 1.5 million tons of oil in the Persian Gulf, causing less than half of the Persian Gulf to be covered with oil. Sean had no choice but to change the meeting place to Athens.
Fortunately, the scenery of the Aegean Sea is better, there are more young models here, and it is also a paradise for rich people.
The only trouble is that the special plane has to go around Egypt. There is no choice but to fly directly. Jerusalem has been reduced to a pot of porridge. Sean is afraid that the special plane will be shot down by fighter jets in the sky...
After picking up someone from the Greek airport and returning to the villa here, Sean arranged a party to entertain the old pervert. It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that the two of them had time to talk about business.
In the study,
There are six pieces of paper on the desk in front of Sean. Each of these names on them is from the Hashem family. "Which one of them do you think will become the king of Ylk?"
"Ah?" Soros looked blankly at the note on the table, then looked at Sean, a trace of confusion flashed across his face and then he laughed.
He could see that Sean was preparing to give him a showdown, and he secretly curled his lips inwardly. Indeed, he was good at finance and didn't know much about politics, but since Sean came to him, it must be financial business.
You won't be able to scare him by planting a horse.
The old guy shrugged and said with a smile: "I can't judge. Besides, isn't YLK a presidential system?"
"Not soon." Sean smiled and glanced at Soros, then pointed at the note on the table with a smile, "Choose one." Soros pointed at himself, "Are we going to make a bet?"
"No." Sean shook his head, with a faint smile on his face, and knocked on the table again, "I mean, the choice of King Ylk is left to you. There are definitely not many chances of who can become a king.
, after all, it was once the third most powerful military country.”
Soros's expression changed from indifferent to astonishment, and his expression gradually became distorted, "Me? Choose King Ylk? What a joke!"
Sean shrugged, picked up the notes one by one and rolled them into balls. He bumped them randomly in his hands and scattered them on the table. He stretched out his hand and gestured to Soros, "Here, grab one."
Soros stared at Sean. He didn't think Sean was joking. He must be 100% sure if he dared to play like this. So, this is so fucking ridiculous!
King ylk, Soros, draw lots... why don't they be next to each other!
At this moment, Soros could no longer remain calm, and his heart was beating rapidly. Five minutes ago, I had never seen Soros!
5 minutes later, I have never seen this before!
He stretched out his hand in the air, his hand trembling a little. This grasp would determine the king of ylk, the hand of God!
After hesitating for a long time, he finally grabbed a paper ball and opened it tremblingly. At this time, he looked like a 61-year-old man.
Sean smiled and looked at the name above, picked up the satellite phone next to him and dialed, "It's decided, choose..." Soros listened quietly, the flesh on his cheeks trembling.
