People will not cherish things that are easily obtained. This is an unchanging truth since ancient times. Therefore, even if Fang Mingyuan thinks that the future development prospects of Russia's New Lippetok Steel Company should be good, he will not easily agree to the Gulf's first The second bank offered a loan. Of course, he did not reject Petrov outright, but only agreed to think about it again.
Anyway, judging from the current situation in Russia, it will take some time for the economy to get back on the upward track. Petrov wants to obtain loans worth hundreds of millions of dollars without imposing too harsh conditions. In the short term, no bank will Taking such a big risk to borrow money from the New Lippetok Steel Company. After all, how many people in the world will know that in the near future, the price of crude oil will start to rise in the world's crude oil market. It will shock the world. Big leap.
The key to starting it lies in the US-Iraq War!
The Americans are determined to attack Iraq, even to the point of paranoia. In order to achieve this goal, they are willing to risk the disapproval of the world! Bypassing the United Nations and without authorization from the United Nations, they are also going against the will of many countries, including its important allies. Even if it is false evidence, it still wants to attack Iraq. What is its purpose?
Is it to overthrow Saddam’s dictatorship and bring democracy and freedom to the Iraqi people? This is absolute nonsense! Who can believe that Saddam can become the president of Iraq and have been in charge of Iraq for so many years without the support of the United States?
Is it for Iraq's weapons of mass destruction? After the war, after repeated inspections by United Nations personnel, not only were no weapons of mass destruction found in Iraq, but they found documents in which Saddam ordered the destruction of weapons of mass destruction. Later, they approved It was revealed that the Iraqi insider who assured the United States and Britain that there were still weapons of mass destruction in Iraq was just to be able to leave Iraq and obtain American or European citizenship. However, if the intelligence personnel of the United States and the United Kingdom could not understand this information in advance There are many flaws in it, so it can only be said that the huge sums of money invested in intelligence agencies by the United States and the United Kingdom every year have all been wasted! Is this possible?
To say that it was for Iraq's oil, everyone thought it was so at first. After all, Iraq's oil reserves are amazing. It can be said that it is second only to Saudi Arabia. It can be said that it has such a large "oil depot" and stationed troops in Iraq. It has hung on the necks of many countries in the world. But what is surprising is that when Iraq was rebuilt after the war, a large number of contracts fell into the hands of non-American and British oil companies, including China Petroleum Corporation. Company. This is obviously completely inconsistent with the results everyone expected.
Everyone has been confused for many years, and it was not until many years later that this confusion was solved. The United States attacked Iraq not to obtain Iraq's oil fields, but to destroy Iraq's crude oil export capacity!
As the country with the second largest oil reserves in the world, before the outbreak of the Gulf War, Iraq continuously obtained huge amounts of foreign exchange income by exporting crude oil every year. Before the war, Iraq and Iran were able to fight for many years, and the domestic living standards were still low.
Being able to stay at the forefront of crude oil exports in the Middle East can be said to have made great contributions.
Later, Saddam increasingly disobeyed the orders of the Americans and wanted to become the overlord of the Middle East and challenge the status of the United States and Saudi Arabia.
Under such circumstances, if the oil consortium of the United States and the United Kingdom intends to raise the price of crude oil in the international market, they will naturally worry about whether the Iraqi government will step in to kick it out. Although the increase in the price of crude oil in the international market is not good for Iraq.
It's a good thing, but the dictator's thoughts are the hardest to guess. Just like when he decided to attack Kuwait, he actually did this to challenge the order in the Middle East, and he didn't even bother to show off afterward.
Too lazy to do it, Kuwait was annexed within a few days. Moreover, during the years when Iraq was under sanctions, Saddam did not really become honest. From time to time, he would challenge the Americans on less important matters. And
If Iraq, as a member of OPEC, does not respect OPEC's decision on crude oil production and produces a large amount of oil, this will undoubtedly be a great resistance to the plans of these capital consortiums!
And if Iraq is destroyed and Iraq's oil export capacity is destroyed, naturally this variable will disappear, and it will provide a perfect reason for the soaring oil prices in the international market!
By manipulating the price of crude oil in the international market, British and American oil companies, including Middle Eastern countries, have made unprecedented profits due to the rising oil prices in the following years. At the same time, the rising oil prices
It has also dealt a heavy blow to the economic development speed of countries such as China, Japan, and Germany.
Of course, Saddam wants to use euros to replace U.S. dollars to settle oil, which is something Americans cannot tolerate. The emergence of the euro has already posed a serious threat to the status of the U.S. dollar. In order to attack the euro, the Americans did not hesitate to resort to
A war in Kosovo and the Yugoslav Republic abruptly suppressed the rising momentum of the euro at that time. If we say that Iraq used euros to settle oil, it caused other OPEC countries to follow suit, which undoubtedly severely damaged the petrodollar.
!
In addition, the United States is in troubled times, and George W. Bush also has to consider next year's general election, so attacking Iraq is to divert the attention of domestic voters, so the attack on Iraq has become an irreversible result. Even most countries in the world do not
Agreeing with this behavior of Americans, George W. Bush was also determined to find a way out.
Just yesterday, the stalemate in the Iraq War had been loosened, and the US-UK coalition had gained a clear upper hand in the war in central Iraq. Fang Mingyuan knew that the Iraqi army, which had withstood years of sanctions, could be said to be completely relying on a
The tone was used to withstand the attack of the US-British coalition forces, but once the deadlock was broken by the US-British coalition forces, this tone was vented, and the war would be out of control.
Next, the U.S. and British coalition forces will occupy Iraq with overwhelming force. Saddam, who called on the citizens of Baghdad to fight to the death to resist the invasion, went into hiding until he was finally caught by the Americans. In a shabby Iraq, its crude oil export capacity has been restored in ten years. Before the war, the Americans' true strategic intentions were realized.
Fang Mingyuan can fully imagine that the bosses of the world's major oil conglomerates are secretly high-fiving and rejoicing. The biggest stumbling block that prevents them from continuously pushing up the price of crude oil in the international market is finally overthrown. (To be continued.)
