Chapter 454 OPEC

White House conference room.

U.S. President Okami, CIA Director David Petraeus, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, Secretary of State Hillary, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Michael Mullen and other military and political officials are watching intently. The latest information in front of you.

After a long time, Ao Guanhai said: "It seems that the Russians have made up their minds to throw themselves into the arms of the Zhanhu Bureau and the Chinese this time!"

David Petraeus said: "The CIA is evaluating Ukraine's actions. We believe that it is necessary to strengthen assistance to Kiev. Otherwise, once Dongenets and other places become independent along with Crimea, the entire eastern Ukraine will be destroyed." There is a domino effect, which is very bad for our situation in Eastern Europe."

Ao Guanhai turned his head and said to Leon Panetta, "Leon, what do you think?"

Leon Panetta squinted his eyes and said, "Ukraine is not the point. It is just one of our main directions of attack against Russia. Europeans should be more troubled by the situation in Ukraine than we are."

Okukankaidao: "Last night, I had separate phone calls with British Prime Minister Brown, French President Hollande, and German Chancellor Merkel. They agreed to continue to provide financial assistance to Kiev, but the CIA needs to help solve the problem of weapons."

David Petraeus said: "This is no problem. As long as Russia does not directly seize it, the equipment of the Ukrainian government army is enough to form a sufficient advantage over the rebels. If Russia intervenes directly, then we don't have to worry so much .”

Ao Guanhai nodded, then raised his head and asked Hillary, "What does OPEC say?"

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who just finished her trip to the Middle East, said: "Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait and other OPEC countries have stated that if the existence of Jinlong batteries is true, they will fully cooperate with our actions. After the talks, the Saudi Crown Prince told me in private , Saudi Arabia will use all means to ensure the energy status of oil, and even form an Arab coalition to deal with Somalia!"

"Really? That's great!"

Everyone present cheered up.

Although the reaction of these OPEC countries has been expected.But being able to get an affirmative answer still made everyone in the meeting room excited.

The importance of OPEC is beyond doubt.

Especially today when oil prices are soaring, these Middle Eastern local tyrants who are not short of money have a strong influence all over the world.

Even before Hillary's visit to the Middle Eastern country, Americans were worried about Saudi Arabia as the largest oil producer.Will it foresee the end of fossil energy and will completely fall to China?

You must know that although Saudi Arabia is a traditional ally of the United States in the Middle East, due to the long-standing grievances between the Arab world and Israel, the relationship between Saudi Arabia and the United States, as the "chief helm" of the Arab countries, has always been relatively delicate. distance.

This situation began after China sold Dongfeng-80 medium-range ballistic missiles to Saudi Arabia in the late 3s.

In 1981, the Israeli Air Force brazenly crossed Saudi airspace and destroyed an Iraqi nuclear reactor.In the Middle East War in 1982, Israel defeated the Arab coalition forces completely, and was powerless to fight back.Then the Iran-Iraq war rose to the point of life and death. Iran and Iraq unrestrainedly used various tactical missiles to attack each other's targets, causing neighboring countries to suffer disaster.

The news of Israel's possession of medium-range ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons has also made Saudi Arabia's sense of crisis soar. They are eager to obtain a weapon with sufficient deterrent capabilities to contain regional powers.

In 1985, Prince Bandar, the Saudi ambassador to the United States, was the first to act.Tentatively proposed to the United States to purchase the "Lance" ballistic missile (Note: This demand is obviously Saudi Arabia asking for directions, because the range of the missile is less than 200 kilometers, and the United States sold it to Iran before the YSLGM in 1979), but was flatly rejected by the United States.

When Bandar dejectedly reported the news back to the country, the Saudis began to feel distressed: where can they find a country that can quickly provide such weapons without proposing restrictive treaties?

Prince Sultan, commander of the Saudi Air Defense Air Force, recommended China, which had not yet established diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia, to the king.

After nearly two years of arduous negotiations, in 1988, China officially announced to the outside world that it had sold a batch of Dongfeng-35 medium-range ballistic missiles (with a range of 3 kilometers) to Saudi Arabia at a price of 3000 billion U.S. dollars, and undertook the deployment of these missiles to plan infrastructure. and the obligation to train relevant personnel.

As soon as the news came out.Immediately shook the world.

According to the international arms control treaty.A country should not export missiles with a range of more than 300 kilometers to other countries that do not have the capability to develop such weapons.The Dongfeng-3 missile has a range of nearly 3000 kilometers and can carry nuclear warheads. It is a strategic weapon and is enough to affect the strategic balance between regions.

Even without regard to international arms control treaties.It is also hard to imagine a country exporting such weapons to another country, not to mention that China and Saudi Arabia had not even established diplomatic relations at that time!

And the price of 35 billion U.S. dollars also cost Saudi Arabia a lot.Due to the sluggish world oil prices, Saudi Arabia's GDP in 1986 was only 870 billion US dollars, and the total government revenue was about 480 billion. The country had to spend nearly one-tenth of the money to purchase these "kingdom's deterrent forces."

As for China, in 1986, China's foreign exchange reserves were only 20.72 billion US dollars, 35 billion US dollars is 1.75 times of China's total foreign exchange reserves!At that time, China's annual national GDP was only 3000 billion U.S. dollars, and this order exceeded one percent of China's annual GDP!

From this, one can imagine how amazing this super order is.

However, Saudi Arabia has since secured its position as the leader of the Arab world, and the Dongfeng-3 ballistic missile has not disappointed Saudi Arabia.

On August 1990, 8, only a few months after the new Saudi missile base was officially put into operation, Iraq brazenly invaded Kuwait. Within a day, the entire territory of Kuwait fell, and 2 Iraqi troops approached the eastern territory of Saudi Arabia.

At the first time, the Saudi military urgently launched the combat readiness procedure at the Suleil base, and multiple "Dongfeng"-3 missiles were transported to the launch base. Dam didn't dare to make trouble with Saudi Arabia.

In 1990, Saudi Arabia and China established diplomatic relations, and the relationship between the two countries has been warming up. In the following 20 years, Saudi Arabia has maintained a good relationship with China.

The concerns of Ao Guanhai and others are also understandable.

But now it seems that this kind of thinking is obviously over-concerned.

With the emergence of Jinlong batteries, these oil-producing countries should be the most likely to jump.

No matter how good the relationship between China and Saudi Arabia was before, once the Golden Dragon battery came out, it has completely opposed each other's positions.

Ao Guanhai sent Hillary to visit the Middle East and other countries precisely to gather the power of oil-producing countries and unite to win this energy war.

Ao Guanhai smiled and said: "Good job, if we can get the support of OPEC, then we have a better chance of winning against Jinlong battery, as long as we delay the promotion of Jinlong battery around the world, in a few years, we will wait for our metal After the battery technology has matured, it will be our real opportunity to share this big cake.” (To be continued~^~)
