1511 Saudi Arabia wants the US military to get out

"This is not good, right? If my brother knew about it, we wouldn't blame him for being treason?" The British Prime Minister was very moved by the French President.

They were also thinking about this. The current situation is that they have no way to compete with the Soviet Union and the United States.

Only when the whole of Europe is united can there be no problems.

"There is no treason, second brother, have you forgotten how they performed when you suffered losses at the hands of the Argentines? This time they were not beaten so badly in the war. They just used mushrooms. But they didn't let us use them, and they didn't even communicate with us..." How could the French not know what the British thoughts were?

While he secretly scolded this shameless person in his heart, if it weren't for the French family, they wouldn't be able to fight against the US imperialists, and they wouldn't challenge the Soviet Union, and would never play with the declining old guy.

The pride of the French is known to the whole of Europe.

Even if the British are unhappy, they want to be a watchman and have to set up a archway, there is no sign of it on the surface. They need to connect and discuss how to deal with the current situation.

Britain is something that France must win over if it wants to not get along with the United States. The purpose of both sides is actually the same. The United States has serious domestic fiscal problems and the deficit is too large. Coupled with the increase in international crude oil caused by this war, the United States will decline faster.

Without the troubles in front of you, it will be difficult for the United States to hold on for too long.

In the Middle East, the United States has now become completely in chaos.

"This matter..." John Major was silent for a moment, and then said in a tone that surprised François Mitterrand, "We can discuss it seriously together."

"Okay. I have time today..." François was indeed very happy.

"Then we'll see you later." The British Prime Minister said without hesitation.

Both sides have long been dissatisfied with the United States. As long as the Soviets make concessions, everything will naturally become easier to deal with.

The establishment of the European Community has been the idea of ​​the French and British in recent years. The United States regards these European countries as their resource banks and vaults. If the economy fails, it will attack them, which makes it difficult for them to live with them.

Although what we do now will make the situation in the United States worse, it is a wise choice for Britain, France and other European countries.

As long as an agreement is reached with the Soviets and Germany is unified, the three major European powers will be enough to share the world with them.

The United States has no energy to pay attention to the abnormal movements between Britain and France at this time.

All my energy is devoted to dealing with the Soviet Union and handling affairs in the Middle East.

Especially when the US Secretary of State, Baker came to Saudi Arabia, he took a lot of effort to meet the Saudi King Fahd who was unwilling to meet them and Prince Sultan, who was in charge of military affairs.

The king and the prince's attitude towards Baker was completely the same as when Baker came here before.

"His Majesty the King, Your Highness, we deeply regret this matter. This is a serious mistake. At present, we are investigating this matter in China. We will definitely explain to the entire Arab world and the entire world..." As Secretary of State, what kind of scene has Beck never seen?

He is confident of convincing Saudi Arabia.

After all, as long as the United States and Japan, South Korea and other oil importers controlled by the United States do not purchase Saudi oil, Saudi Arabia has no source of income at all, and their national economy supported by oil will suffer a devastating blow.

"Mr. Baker, if I remember correctly, before the war began, you promised to drive the Iraqi people out of Kuwait. You will not occupy Iraq and turn Iraq into a place full of war!" Prince Sultan said coldly, "But now? You actually launched a nuclear attack on the Iraqi capital, and four million Arabs were massacred under your powerful nuclear bombs..."

Baghdad has a population of more than four million now, but it has about four million civilians.

No one can ignore such a situation.

It is even more impossible for Saudi Arabia to ignore this.

Americans understand their oil needs better than anyone else.

Even the Americans are in order to control the oil in the entire Middle East, and they cannot help but worry. Now the United States has a army of 500,000 on or next to Saudi Arabia's territory.

"This is an accident!" Baker emphasized.

"Accident? Four million lives can solve the problem just one accident?" Prince Sultan was not as comprehensive as King Fahd considered, and was worried that the Americans would turn their guns to attack Saudi Arabia at this time.

Who can make sure that Americans won't attack them again for oil?

"How is the U.S. government ready to resolve this matter?"

"We are not clear about the casualties in Baghdad at this time..." Baker emphasized. "We mobilized our troops into the Middle East to help you. If we hadn't stopped them, the Iraqi army might have entered your territory..."

"You also said it was just a possibility." King Fahd spoke. "After the US government launched a nuclear attack on Iraq, there was no solution, and even your army was not ready to evacuate from the Middle East."

The king was worried.

I already said it very clearly.

"Your Majesty, your concerns are unnecessary. The US government will not take the initiative to launch wars against our allies. Even our enemies, we hope to resolve the problem through negotiations. When Saddam wanted to destroy the Middle East and threaten you, it was your request that our government agreed to send troops."

Baker said with a smirk.

This matter is obviously told to the old king that the propaganda to the outside world was asked to send troops to help you teach Saddam a lesson.

"In this war, our United States has consumed a lot of money for the security of your country..."

Hearing such shameless words from the US Secretary of State, Prince Sultan immediately stood up angrily, "Do you still think we should pay for your brutal acts? We have provided tens of billions of dollars in cash for war funds!"

"We just hope that the Saudi government can work with us to solve these problems in Iraq and give the Iraqi people a peaceful and stable living environment."

Baker still said calmly.

He believes that there is no possibility that Saudi Arabia will turn against the US government at this time.

That kind of consequence is not something the Saudi royal family can bear.

The Saudi army is large in number, and only they know whether it can fight. Otherwise, they would not ask the Egyptian government to garrison them in order to reduce the debts of the Egyptian government and continue to provide Egyptian government financial assistance.

"How do you think we should help you solve the problem? Or, why do you think we should solve the consequences of your brutality for you?" the king asked dissatisfiedly.

Baghdad was under nuclear attack, and it is unknown how many injured people were.

The US military stopped advancing at this time, and Iraq's army in the south were also surrounded by them, so it was not easy to rescue.

Even if there is a lack of medical treatment and medicine, the result is...

Baker looked at the king and couldn't help but smile, "His Majesty the King, most of the crude oil from Saudi Arabia is exported to our United States and the countries we protect. Some of the exports are our allies. This is why we and our allies will help you when your national security is threatened..."

threaten.

This is definitely a threat.

Baker is completely holding up the American stick. If you do something randomly on this matter, we will not be able to sell your oil.

By then, the entire government will have no money, it depends on what you do.

"We can't sell oil! Without oil, we want to see what you do in the United States!" The king also smiled, "We don't mind letting you have another oil crisis. Kuwait's oil production has now become zero, and international oil prices are still rising and are about to break through the 60 dollar per barrel..."

For Saudi Arabia, it is not as huge as the American demand for oil.

If Saudi Arabia joins forces with other oil-producing countries to impose an oil embargo on the United States, the US economy will collapse, and even the entire world's economy will collapse.

"Just as your oil reserves, how long do you think the US government can last in the face of another oil embargo? Or, your government re-explores offshore crude oil?" Sultan looked at Baker coldly.

The attitude of the Saudi royal family did not think of Baker at all.

He thought it would be very troublesome, but he didn't expect that the other party would not accept the threat they had.

Saudi Arabia is of great importance to OPEC.

The United States has lost Iran's crude oil supply and now Kuwait. If Saudi Arabia's crude oil is lost, relying solely on their domestic output, it can only meet 40% of the domestic domestic self-produced crude oil. With their two-month strategic reserves, how long can it last?

This is also the reason why he did not pay attention to how many people died in Iraq, but went to Saudi Arabia first.

"Are you threatening? Are you not afraid that we will freeze all your investments in the United States and Europe?" Baker had a shameless expression.

At this time, we must compare who can bear this consequence better.

On the other hand, it is impossible for the United States to bow to Saudi Arabia.

"We can open up your investments in some areas that are of interest to you. In addition, we can sell you some weapons and equipment that are of interest to you..."

If the big stick is not good, then give me some sweetness.

If it's hard, it's soft.

"We do not want war, but our people prefer a peaceful and stable life!" King Fahd said lightly.

"Now, please evacuate your American troops from all our Saudi bases!"

This is the king's attitude.
