The rise of great powers: starting from military industry

Yangcheng Shipyard.

Liu Tao was shocked when he received a satellite call from his old friend.

He didn't expect that Saddam would do this when the Iran-Iraq War was about to end.

How did this brain circuit come about?

Now that the war can be ended decently, there is still a possibility of restoring friendly relations between Iran and Iraq in the future. Saddam's actions will make the two sides truly fight to the death and there will be no room for maneuver.

Even if the Iran-Iraq War ends, Iraq will have to stockpile heavy troops on the border to prevent the Persians from launching an attack.

Even if the Iraqi army is as high as 1.2 million now, it is a waste of money and food.

This is simply letting one's own joys and sorrows override national interests. How could such a person establish the Babylonian Empire.

"Is Saddam crazy? Is his nerves wrong?" Liu Tao couldn't help but complain.

At the beginning, the attack on Persia was launched suddenly, kicking off the Iran-Iraq War.

Now both sides of the Iran-Iraq War have signed a peace agreement, officially declaring the end of the Iran-Iraq War, and peace has come to the Persian Gulf. Iraq has already experienced withdrawal and has a step down.

As a result, now Saddam is angry and wants to make a big move.

From then on, there is an enemy who will never give up.

But after Liu Tao calmed down a little, he understood why Saddam did this.

With the current situation of Persia, as long as the Iran-Iraq War ends, relying on oil export trade, it may take 10 to 20 years to restore the vitality before the Iran-Iraq War.

However, if the Persian oil fields are destroyed, large-scale shelling and bombing of Abadan Port and Khomeini Port are carried out to destroy the Persian oil export, it will be a fatal blow to Persia. If the Persians want to restore oil exports, they will have to invest at least 200 to 300 billion US dollars in reconstruction, which will undoubtedly slow down the Persian post-war reconstruction work.

The oil wells were destroyed, the refineries were destroyed, and Persia could not rely on oil to make money and obtain loans. I am afraid that Persia will not be able to turn over for 30 to 50 years.

Liu Tao took a deep breath, picked up the satellite phone, called the leader to report this intelligence, and after the report, Liu Tao began to arrange things in the Middle East.

As early as the previous round, the Persians did not want the middlemen to make a profit.

The Persians expressed their dissatisfaction more than once.

Now it's good, I can fulfill the Persians and make a breakup fee.

Whatever happens later, it has nothing to do with him.

Tehran.

This is the largest city in Persia and one of the largest cities in West Asia.

Qian Tong exhaled lightly.

After friendly negotiation and cooperation between the two sides, they broke up amicably and Persia exported oil on its own.

The price Persia paid was to buy out the contract agreement between the two parties with 1 billion US dollars.

Qian Tong couldn't understand why the leader agreed to this.

This contract agreement alone brings more than 1 billion US dollars in annual revenue, and the contract agreement will not expire for several years.

It's just that Liu Tao ordered him to do it, and he must do it well.

As the general manager of Panshan Group in Persia, Qian Tong has been in Persia for nearly ten years. Except for two home visits every year, Qian Tong is in Persia.

He personally experienced the entire process of the Iran-Iraq War and witnessed the past ten years in Persia.

In Tehran alone, 300,000 women lost their husbands, and many husbands were injured.

Persia's economy was very bad, getting worse year by year. There was no economic development at all. Everything served the war. In many cases, daily necessities were distributed according to daily needs. The lives of Persians were getting worse year by year.

This was the case in Tehran, not to mention other parts of Persia.

If it weren't for the oil revenue, the rich legacy left by the Pahlavi dynasty, and the relaxation of the US's tight control over Persia, Persia would have collapsed long ago.

Afterwards, Qian Tong handed over to the Persians. After the Persians paid the money, the oil tankers that the Persians had originally rented to the shipping group were returned to the Persians.

Employees of Abadan and Khomeini Port began to take cargo ships to Kuwait.

He didn't understand why the employees there had to withdraw to Kuwait instead of Tehran, but Qian Tong still followed the order.

Libya.

Gaddafi was cursing Saddam.

"Damn Saddam, what a waste. He had a million troops and a population of tens of millions in Iraq, but he couldn't destroy Persia and retreated in disgrace. If it were me, Gaddafi, I would have destroyed Persia long ago!" Gaddafi cursed Saddam.

He has always looked down on Saddam.

He thinks that Saddam is ambitious but incompetent.

Libya has only three million people, but he can lead Libya to become the richest country in the world with the highest social welfare. He is not afraid of Western powers, and he is not afraid of Americans!

He dares to go against the Americans.

Other countries only accept US dollars for exporting oil, but he dares to use British pounds, French francs, and German marks as trading currencies.

"Damn Americans, one day I will definitely show you a lesson! Revenge for my children!" Gaddafi's eyes showed hatred, which was a strong hatred.

If the Americans failed to blow him to death, he would be more determined to go against the Americans.

After the American airstrike, Gaddafi stood firmly in the Soviet camp, opened more military bases to the Soviets, and even allowed the Soviets to have two military ports in Libya, stationing a powerful naval fleet.

He relied on the support of the Soviet Union to rebuild Libya. After a few years, Libya was almost rebuilt after the war and could even export oil on a small scale.

But he didn't expect that the Iran-Iraq War would end, causing a sharp drop in oil prices.

This is undoubtedly not conducive to Libya's economic development. Libya is now burdened with heavy foreign debts, and it relies on oil to repay the debts.

The drop in oil prices means that Libya's oil export income will decrease.

Without sufficient oil revenue, why would international banks lend money to Libya! ? How can Libya repay the huge debt?

"Saddam, that idiot, obviously occupies such a large territory, has 1.2 million troops, and advanced weapons, but he can't destroy Persia, but instead negotiates with Persia. This kind of stuff wants to become a hero like Nasser!" Gaddafi was still very angry, "Stupid guy, he will bury himself in the end!"

Gaddafi sometimes thinks that if he ruled Iraq, he would have swept across Persia with millions of Iraqi lions, dominated the Persian Gulf, and even became the leader of the Arab world.

He also thought that if Libya had the same good conditions as Iraq, he could sweep across North Africa, even unify the entire African continent, and establish a great and powerful empire.

But the heaven is unfair, how cruel to him!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He was so angry that he threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground, breaking it into pieces.

Others trembled, not daring to look at the angry Gaddafi, fearing that they would be executed by the furious Gaddafi.
