Chapter 257: Scheme against the United States

After entering the 1990s, due to global climate warming and the rapid development of China's economy, driven by economic interests, large areas of forest in China were cut down, causing serious soil erosion, causing river beds to rise, and so on. As a result,

That is, large-scale floods occur in China every now and then.

In the summer of 1991, floods occurred in 18 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government in China, and serious droughts occurred in 5 provinces and autonomous regions. Among them, southern Jiangsu suffered a once-in-a-century flood. In just 48 hours, 200 tons of rain fell.

Millimeters of rain. "There is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below." When compiling disaster relief records in the late 1980s, the southern Jiangsu area could not find any disaster records, but it recorded this flood.

Throughout the land of East China, you can see that crops in the fields and large areas of fertile land have been soaked in floods. Even the local towns have turned into a swamp. You can travel through the city by boat.

, the first floor of the small building was completely submerged under the water, and there were all kinds of garbage floating on the water.

According to preliminary statistics at that time, there were hundreds of millions of people affected by the disaster across the country. In the two provinces most severely affected, the victims accounted for 60 to 70 percent of the total population of the provinces. More than 2 million people were homeless.

The victims of the disaster set up temporary tents as far as the eye can see on the embankment of the river. According to incomplete statistics, the direct economic losses of the affected provinces and cities that year may have exceeded tens of billions of yuan. If the indirect economic losses are added to

The losses may exceed 100 billion yuan.

Moreover, the flood in East China was the first large-scale disaster in China's history since the founding of the People's Republic of China, which directly appealed to the international community for assistance.

All this naturally left a deep impression on Fang Mingyuan, who was still in school at the time - he originally didn't like to watch the news network, but in those days, he always sat in front of the TV and watched the turbulent torrents of water flowing across the land of China.

The water of the river was breathtaking! At that time, he had no clear understanding of the difficulties of the victims. He just felt that the power of nature was really spectacular.

After entering the 1990s, Fang Mingyuan was thinking about how to make money from the Gulf War on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was also thinking about how to remind the superiors that it would be best to inspect the dams of several major rivers this year to prevent floods.

Disaster preparedness.

But he racked his brains and couldn't think of any words that could convince the top brass of the Chinese government that there would be a major flood that would affect half of China next year. He was not a climate authority or a religious leader. In the eyes of ordinary people, this kind of

How can people believe something that seems illusory and illusory if it does not have enough prestige and convincing reason? And he cannot confide it easily, otherwise if the flood really happens next year, his fate will be reduced to being in the laboratory.

of guinea pig.

But Prince Abdullah gave him this opportunity. If these experts and authorities from Arab countries, Europe and the United States can come up with such a report, then China's top leaders will inevitably react. The Gulf War

It won't start until next year. Regardless of whether the Kuwait oil fields will be ignited by then, China will definitely be alert to the possible floods next year. Even if the root cause cannot be cured, it can at least reduce some casualties and property losses!

Prince Abdullah naturally didn't know what was going on in Fang Mingyuan's mind. He was stunned for a long time, and his face gradually showed a look of joy! China's military strength can be said to be limited. Although it has a huge army, the navy's

Being weak prevents his military power from being deployed in the Middle East. Moreover, due to the intervention of Europe and the United States and China's consistent foreign policy, it is obviously unrealistic to expect China to send troops to put pressure on Iraq.

However, no country in the Middle East will ignore China's political influence because of its insufficient military projection capabilities. In any case, it is also one of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and has huge influence among countries around the world.

If he can be drawn into his camp and put pressure on Iraq, Saddam will definitely consider the consequences of igniting the Kuwait oil fields! "Fang! You are so smart! I will immediately notify the country and ask these experts to analyze what you are doing."

We will analyze and study the situation mentioned and make a possibility report!"

"It might as well be more serious, so that we can really attract the attention of the high-level government of our country!" Fang Mingyuan reminded. Anyway, it is not entirely a lie. In the past life, many experts and scholars also held this view and believed in this formulation.

, you will definitely be able to get support from many experts.

Prince Abdullah couldn't help but feel a little more hopeful. He was wooing the governments of the Middle East to put pressure on European and American countries, asking them to pay attention to protecting Kuwait's oil fields. This was something they had already thought of, but this matter could actually be compared with China.

Building a relationship was something they had never expected. For this reason alone, Prince Abdullah felt that his visit this time was worth it.

"But the key to the matter is still in the hands of the United States and the British! How do we convince them?" Prince Abdullah asked. The troops currently sent to Saudi Arabia are mainly American and British soldiers. We really need to advance in advance.

To protect the Kuwaiti oil fields, we need to rely heavily on the military personnel of these two countries. However, one of these two countries is far away in the North Sea and the other is in the Americas. Even if the fire in the Kuwaiti oil fields causes serious consequences, for them, the harm will be relatively small.

Fang Mingyuan smiled confidently and said: "Actually, the two countries have the best solution. I believe that as long as Prince Abdullah submits the report, you can seriously raise the dangers of the pollution caused by the oil fire to the human body.

If you make a few moves, the Americans and British will become restless."

"I understand!" Prince Abdullah showed a look of sudden realization. Americans and British are afraid of death. Once the casualties of soldiers are too large, it may cause a domestic anti-war wave, and may even affect the

to the government election, so how to ensure the physical safety of soldiers participating in the war as much as possible is an issue that the military commanders of the two countries have to seriously consider. If this report led by Kuwait can make it clear, this consequence will

If it threatens the health of American and British soldiers stationed in the Middle East, then things will be easier to handle.

In fact, Prince Abdullah did not know that what Fang Mingyuan was thinking of was the famous "Gulf Syndrome" in his previous life!

Gulf War Syndrome refers to the fact that after the 1991 Gulf War, thousands of veterans, mainly American and British soldiers who went to the Middle East to join multinational forces suffered from various diseases. They felt muscle pain and long-term fatigue.

, insomnia, memory loss, dizziness, depression, body weight loss and sexual dysfunction, etc. Due to complex symptoms and unknown causes, these diseases were collectively called "Gulf War Syndrome" by the world medical community. According to incomplete statistics later,

About 160,000 of the 700,000 U.S. troops who participated in Operation Desert Storm claimed to have the disease. At the end of 2001, the U.S. Department of Defense had to officially admit for the first time that veterans who had participated in the Gulf War did suffer from "Gulf War

Syndrome. This incident later caused the U.S. Department of Defense to be overwhelmed and became the focus of the news at the time.

"However, Prince Abdullah, you have to think twice about the time and candidates for submission of this report. It is best to wait until...the United Nations Security Council issues an ultimatum on Iraq before formally submitting it to the governments of various countries."

Submit it to the headquarters of the multinational force." Fang Mingyuan reminded. If you say it too early, the opposition forces in the US and British governments may gain the upper hand. In that case, the restoration of Kuwait will be far away.

But when the multi-national forces were assembled and the United Nations Security Council issued an ultimatum, even if someone exposed this matter, the governments of the United States and Britain were in trouble. Postponing or canceling military plans would only make their governments become the people of the world.

He is a laughing stock, so he can only rack his brains to find ways to avoid the Kuwait oil field fire. This result is undoubtedly the best.

And if they turn a deaf ear to this matter and are dismissive, it will also plant a time bomb for the United States, Britain and other countries in the future. When the "Gulf Syndrome" is confirmed in the future, this will be a big blow to the governments of Europe, the United States and other countries.

The damage to their credibility is enough to make them drink a pot. This saves these people from always thinking about how to block the rise of China's national power. Whenever they think about it, they will point fingers at China's affairs, which will annoy the people of the country.

Although Prince Abdullah is only a small prince with a land area smaller than the capital city, he grew up in the royal family and quickly understood Fang Mingyuan's "meaning"!

"This is God's blessing! God's blessing!" Prince Abdullah said that Fang Mingyuan is his noble person, which has already risen to the level of God's blessing. Since he met Fang Mingyuan, such good things have happened one after another.

, the repeated good news has greatly increased Prince Abdullah's influence in the Kuwaiti royal family. Among them, the check of one billion US dollars issued by Fang Mingyuan is the most important - the restoration of the Kuwaiti royal family.

Confidence is greatly increased! An Oriental or a foreigner dares to bet a billion dollars on the restoration of the Kuwaiti people. What else do they, the royal family of Kuwait, have to hesitate?

And when he came to the East this time, he was originally just to show off to Kuwait's Asian Games delegation and give Fang Mingyuan a big gift. Who would have thought that Fang Mingyuan's "return gift" was so big that it could be said to be a life saver.

Half of Kuwait. When he sent Fang Mingyuan's speculation back to the country, the Emir was greatly shocked. He immediately convened a meeting of royal family members. After repeated discussions, no one dared to pat their chests and guarantee that the crazy Saddam would not

To do something like this that is harmful to others.

After that, experts roughly estimated the economic losses Kuwait would face, which completely shocked the entire Kuwaiti royal family!
