The rise of great powers: starting from military industry

Kuwait.

After Prince Fahd returned, he immediately entered the palace to meet the king.

"If the Iraqis invade, we must let them know that the consequences are serious, and our troops must show our determination!" King Emir Jaber's words were full of chill: "Our anti-aircraft missiles must severely teach the Iraqi air force a lesson. Don't be afraid of consumption, just buy more after consumption!"

The outcome of the war is doomed to be unchangeable, but they can make it difficult for Iraq to annex Kuwait.

The Iraqis have long exposed their ambition to annex Kuwait.

Emir Jaber and the entire Kuwaiti royal family will never tolerate such a thing.

Now Kuwait has strengthened its vigilance and gathered troops to the border to strengthen its defense. Although it cannot be compared with Iraq's military strength on the border, at least they have responded.

Instead of choosing to lie down and let Iraq invade and annex Kuwait.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will definitely give Saddam that bastard a good look!" Prince Fahd gritted his teeth.

Prince Fahd also belongs to the Kuwaiti royal family, and he holds great power in the Kuwaiti royal family.

Prince Fahd is very angry about Saddam's desire to annex Kuwait and occupy Kuwait's oil.

Because this is related to his own interests.

Kuwait's current proven oil reserves are as high as 96.5 billion barrels, ranking fifth in the world after Saudi Arabia, the Soviet Union, Iraq, and the United Arab Emirates.

According to the current oil price, which has risen to $35 per barrel, it is worth $3.4 trillion!

Such a large amount of wealth, a large part of it belongs to the Kuwaiti royal family.

Saddam's move is undoubtedly to rob the assets of the Kuwaiti royal family, which is simply an irreconcilable hatred.

Those who block the way to wealth are like killing their parents!

This is an endless hatred!

Iraq has proven oil reserves of up to 100 billion barrels, and Saddam can live a luxurious and comfortable life by selling oil, but he likes to fight and kill, and now he even wants to kill his own Arab brothers.

This is really unreasonable!

It's so stupid!

"You did a good job this time, and spending some money is nothing!" said King Emir Jaber.

What Kuwait lacks now is not money, Kuwait has plenty of money.

As long as it can be solved with money, it is not a big deal.

Moreover, Panshan Group did not take the opportunity to raise prices significantly. As for the 20% emergency fee, it was proposed by Saudi Arabia and Kuwait themselves, and this is normal.

Then, the king held an emergency meeting.

Now Kuwait's regular army has basically been transferred to the front line to guard against Iraqis. The anti-aircraft missiles purchased before were mainly used to defend the capital and intercept Lancome's fighters or missiles to launch air strikes on Kuwait.

Kuwait City is the capital and largest city of Kuwait. It is the political, economic, cultural and transportation center of Kuwait. The Iraqis will definitely launch an air strike on Kuwait City.

Since yesterday, Kuwait has been mobilizing and transferring.

Emir Jaber, who hated Saddam, was unwilling to leave Saddam with a large amount of wealth and population.

Of course, the front-line troops also have air defense missile systems, but more are "Vanguard" individual air defense missiles, anti-tank missiles, 80-type anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns.

Before, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia purchased a large number of weapons and equipment from Panshan Group.

While Saudi Arabia and Kuwait strengthened their defenses and mobilized for war, the negotiations between Iraq and Kuwait continued.

As the main person in charge of the negotiations, Ahmed did not show any weakness at the negotiation table after receiving the order from Emir Jaber, and did not give in at all, even if the Iraqis were aggressive during the negotiations.

Ahmed looked at the person in charge of the Iraqi side, ‘Al’, and said seriously: “Al, you must unconditionally withdraw the troops on the border. If you continue, the situation will become more tense. Once a conflict is triggered and a war breaks out, it will bring serious disasters to the people of both countries.”

Al was also helpless. From the bottom of his heart, he opposed Saddam’s war against Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, because they were Arab brothers and should be united, and they had friendship with each other before.

But he had to obey Saddam’s will, so Al was also tough with Ahmed: “Ahmed, you are too much! We Iraq blocked Persia for you. We are heroes of the Arab world and we deserve more oil quotas. And from a historical point of view, Kuwait is part of Iraq’s territory!”

“No Iraqi leader has ever legally recognized the Iraq-Kuwait border. If you don’t want war, then return to Iraq’s arms!” Al said.

This kind of negotiation has been carried out many times.

Iraq’s excuse is that Kuwait itself belongs to Iraq, and this is an internal issue of Iraq.

This reason is nothing more than a fig leaf for Iraq.

You know, Kuwait is a sovereign state. In 1961, Kuwait declared independence from Britain and became a member of the United Nations in the same year. It has established diplomatic relations with most countries and has been recognized by most countries.

30 years have passed. If Iraq talks about this issue again, it will not be recognized by the international community at all.

Iraq has not required countries that have established diplomatic relations with Iraq to promise that Kuwait belongs to Iraq.

"You are too shameless. Don't ever think of using force to make us give up our national sovereignty. We in Kuwait will never yield. We will not agree to any of your conditions. If you continue to act on your own, the entire Gulf region will fall into war, and you in Iraq will pay a heavy price!" Ahmed said angrily.

Al looked at Ahmed and said calmly: "Iraq is never afraid of any war!"

The two sides parted ways unhappily again in this round of negotiations.

Al returned to Baghdad, Iraq, and reported the results of the talks to Saddam.

The toughness of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait made Saddam furious.

He mobilized 100,000 elite troops just to force Kuwait to agree to join Iraq through this tough attitude, but Saudi Arabia and Kuwait dared to be so tough.

Don't they know that their combined armed forces are less than a quarter of Iraq's?

Do they think that they can resist Iraq's elite troops by joining forces?

"Since negotiations cannot solve the problem, don't blame us for resorting to force!" Saddam showed a ferocious look, and his voice was full of coldness, resounding throughout the hall.

The best result, of course, is that Kuwait sees the strength of the Iraqi army and succumbs under tremendous pressure, so that Iraq can achieve the greatest results at the lowest cost.

Wait until the results of Kuwait are digested, and then settle accounts with Saudi Arabia!

He Saddam can't push the Persians, because the Persians are the overlords of the Persian Gulf!

But can't he still push the Persians! ?

This time Saudi Arabia intervened in Kuwait's affairs, which made Saddam very unhappy and angry!
