The Goddess Shines on America

Chapter 296 Intervening in the Iran-Iraq War

Of course, it was impossible for Reagan to spend his limited time discussing the issue of Chinese Kung Fu, so after expressing his surprise and admiration for Alice's ability, he immediately turned the topic to the main point.

"Alice, I wonder how much you know about the current international situation?"

"I understand very well, but this question is a bit too macroscopic. Mr. President, what do you want to say specifically?"

"How much do you know about my foreign policy?"

Alice looked down at her knees: "You mean the issue of arms sales to Taiwan, and the conflict with the Soviet Union?"

Obviously getting a satisfactory answer, Reagan nodded and said, "That's right, since you can think of this level, you should also know something about the Star Wars plan, right?"

Until now, Alice has not been able to grasp Reagan's plan. He called himself all the way to the White House. It must have been a temporary idea. If there is a direct reason, the only thing that saved Bush Sr. was yesterday. But now sitting in this oval office, the topic has drifted to such an unknown angle, which really makes Alice a little confused.

"I do understand that the strategic defense initiative uses various means to attack the enemy's outer space intercontinental strategic missiles and outer space spacecraft, so as to prevent hostile countries from launching nuclear attacks on the United States and its allies. The technical means include, Deploy high-energy directional weapons or conventional strike weapons in outer space and on the ground, and conduct multi-level interception at all stages of the enemy's strategic missile attack."

Alice shrugged and said, "I was invited by Lockheed to help develop the YF-22. You can know it. Does the White House also want me to help develop some special weapons?"

"Hehe, if you really have the ability, I believe the Pentagon will not refuse."

Saying this, Reagan waved his hand and said, "You understand my foreign policy, and you also pay close attention to strategic defense initiatives, and then I found out that you established a security company and spent huge sums of money to build a training base? "

It's for this! ?

Alice's eyebrows twitched uncontrollably, just a few days ago, Mr. Akaman sent her some progress reports. With the continuous injection of funds from Microsoft's dividends, after nearly a year of construction, the training base has basically achieved practical value, and the politicians in North Carolina have long been known by him. So, now it's finally getting the president's attention?

"That's right!"

Alice tilted her head: "So, what do you mean?"

"With my approval, Blackwater International can directly obtain orders provided by the Ministry of Defense, and the politicians in the entire Washington will be very happy to see Blackwater mercenaries acting as their bodyguards. Of course, this is based on your Under the premise that the strength of the company is really outstanding.”

Reagan looked at Alice with a smile, and was satisfied to see her surprised expression, so a further big cake came down: "Even in terms of company employees, of course, after knowing that Li I can sort of guess what you're thinking after the background of Will-Arkman. Mainly Delta Force and SEALs, supplemented by ordinary Marines. If possible, the military can directly send them ex-soldiers recommended to your company. Alice, do you have anything to say?"

what idea?

Alice's brain started to move rapidly. It seemed that Reagan wanted to support a government supplier, which was not surprising. What's more, she is actually already a government supplier at present, and she has made a lot of money in the East Coast region by selling the water gift that Bush Sr. sold to Cisco.

Of course, Bush Sr. also gained a lot of political capital from it, there is no doubt about it.

So now, Reagan has a similar idea?

However, the security industry?

"It shouldn't be that simple, right?"

After a moment of silence, she smiled lightly and said, "Mr. President, although I have invested tens of millions of dollars in this company, after all, it has not even started its official business. A security company, you suddenly plan to invest heavily, don't you think Is the United States going to war abroad?"

Reagan laughed loudly, stood up while laughing, poured himself a full cup of coffee, and continued to laugh when he returned to his seat.

"What a brain, little Alice."

After blowing off the foam on the surface, he took a sip of the hot cappuccino and said with satisfaction: "It seems that your vision is definitely not worse than those of us, so I'll cut to the chase."

Alice nodded seriously: "All ears."

"The Iran-Iraq war has been going on for seven years, including now."

Reagan said solemnly: "Iraq is the main ally of the Soviet Union in the Middle East, and our relationship with it has always been very bad. As early as 1979, we included Iraq in the list of countries supporting international terrorism, but Now, for some ... more complicated reasons, our relationship with it is gradually improving."

"Since 1982, when the reformed Iran invaded the interior of Iraq with great force, we began to provide secret assistance to Iraq. As for the reason, it was to prevent Iran from winning and exporting revolution to other Arab countries. For this reason, we also specially Remove Iraq from the list of state sponsors of international terrorism and sell them weapons."

"But the mediation period is coming soon, isn't it?"

When Reagan paused for a moment, Alice said, "Now that people across the country are talking about it, it's time for the UN Security Council to announce a ceasefire. At this time, are you planning to... er... send my mercenaries from Blackwater International?"

Talking to a smart person is easy, at least it can save a lot of unnecessary explanations, but Alice's guess still misses the point. Reagan smiled slightly, and gulped down the warmed coffee in one go.

"Even if the Security Council declares a ceasefire, the real ceasefire will definitely come so easily. Two countries that have been at war for seven years will not stop easily because of a treaty. Therefore, we need to create a decisive battle. And it started after the ceasefire was announced, so they had to stop."

Alice didn't say anything more immediately, she lowered her head slightly, and subconsciously spread her legs, and then closed them back together because of the indecent posture. She shouldn't be wearing a skirt today, and the lady's sitting posture was too tiring, so she simply raised her legs, her slender eyebrows furrowed deeply.

"It doesn't seem to be in the national interest, does it?"

She tilted her head and looked at Reagan: "In seven years, Iraq's foreign debt has reached 80 billion U.S. dollars, of which the arms debt owed to the Western world and the Soviet Union is more than 40 billion U.S. dollars. Isn't this the arms dealers? Is it a great time to make money?"

"Arms dealers do make a lot of money, but oil prices can't."

Looking at Alice's slightly grown red lips, Reagan smiled even more satisfied: "The outbreak of the Iran-Iraq War directly led to the second oil crisis, which directly reduced the daily output from four million barrels to one million. Next, as of now, its output is directly equal to zero. The world's demand for oil is increasing day by day, while the output in the Iran-Iraq region is almost zero. Who do you think will benefit from this?"

"Soviet Union!"

Alice had already prepared the answer, and said with a wry smile: "It's written in the newspapers that Samotlol, the Siberian treasure, had an oil production of 150 million tons in 1980. And in the past few years, The national oil production of the Soviet Union has also been maintained at nearly 600 million tons per year...they have made all the money."

"That's right!"

Reagan tapped on the desktop and said: "I have to satisfy the interests of the oil tycoons. They have no place in the Soviet Union. And you have to know that because non-OPEC members are trying to break our oil monopoly, they have explored everywhere in the world. When the crisis first broke out, those oil companies thought they could make another big fortune by creating an oil shortage and driving up oil prices like the first crisis. It also caused a lot of damage!"

Alice was silent again.

There is no way not to be silent.

The water is so deep.

Let's take it easy.

Since the president wants to end the Iran-Iraq war as soon as possible, then let's just help quietly and ignore the rest.

"A ceasefire agreement will come out this month."

Reagan also realized that he was going too far, turned his head and said, "However, there is still a lot of time left for us. In at least half a year, these two countries will fight again for a while, or even in the next year. Although there will be more The Soviet Union has some time to make money, but fortunately, this is also relative, Alice, can you swallow a special force of 3,000 people?"

Many words were not clearly explained, because Alice understood Reagan's meaning directly.

The U.S. government wants to intervene in the Iran-Iraq war, and it will help Iraq quickly win a big victory after the UN ceasefire agreement comes out.

It is definitely not possible to go directly to the army, so it is time for the mercenaries to appear.

There are many such companies in the United States, but if the government randomly finds a few to recruit a group of high-level security guards, it would be too risky.

So Reagan turned his attention to Alice herself.

"The training base has basically been built and will be put into use within a month."

After thinking for a while, Alice smiled and said, "However, we definitely need to retrain those soldiers. Mr. President, unless you send the active troops directly, you will definitely have to go through a few months of refurbishment. You see Is this enough time?"

"Some are retired soldiers who are unwilling to be lonely, you can rest assured."

Reagan smiled and waved his hands, as if this was not a problem at all: "The Delta Force has a full establishment of 2,500 people, and nearly 200 people retire every year, and the Navy SEALs also have more than 100 people. Calculated by retiring for three years, this is 1,000 people. There are so many people, plus a group of boys who have just retired from the Marine Corps, it only takes three months, and they will definitely become a group of unrivaled wolf warriors!"
