Chapter 649 Energy Crisis
However, all politicians in the world know that after such a big fall, the United States and Japan cannot do nothing except mobilize troops and generals to surround them, so that the Chinese people can develop happily. This is completely illogical.
Therefore, whether in Asia, Europe or America, people are speculating and waiting for the Americans to take action. Although no one can guess how Americans will take action, everyone firmly believes that Americans will take action.
In the short term, Americans have nothing to do in the military. On the one hand, the excuses are difficult to find, and on the other hand, military deployment also takes time. After unexpectedly remaining silent in the economy, politicians from all over the world became more and more curious about what kind of killing Americans can attack the Chinese at the peak of their lives.
The Americans did not disappoint everyone. It was only when the answer was revealed more than a month later that Europeans found out that they were angrily shot again this time.
"On August 5, 2019, at 19:08 pm local time, mysterious fighter jets of unknown nationality attacked Tehran's nuclear facilities. The angry Iranians claimed that the Israelis launched an aggressive war against Iran, so Iran will retaliate against the Israelis. At 20:30 local time, the Iranians launched the first round of missile attacks. The Israelis said that that night, the Iron Dome anti-missile system intercepted five missiles from Iran. The Israelis claimed that they would launch devastating strikes on the Iranian missile launchers and oil wells, etc.."
Looking at the latest news reports of CNN, ordinary people don’t feel anything yet, but for the big guys in the Forbidden City, this is a very remarkable event.
After seeing the news, the No. 1 leader informed the Politburo that an emergency meeting was immediately held to discuss the emergencies. Zhu Dunru, a leader of Taiwan who was visiting the capital, was invited to attend the meeting. After joining the counterattack against the joint Japanese-US offensive on Taiwan, most of the people in the Politburo had already tended to give Taiwan an opportunity to participate in the core political life in the country.
Zhu Dunru was a little excited when he entered the mysterious core political circle of mainland China for the first time. Although he was only a participant this time, it would take some time for the advancement of the Taiwan political process. The formulation of the relevant basic laws cannot be completed overnight. At present, the management of Taiwan is still maintained, so the leaders of Taiwan are still the guests in the mainland.
Seeing familiar faces appearing opposite and beside him, Zhu Dunru felt a little like a dream. In addition to him, the people sitting here have the right to vote on major national affairs, which directly affects the work and life of more than one billion people, and also indirectly has a huge impact on the world.
Before Zhu Dunru, no Taiwanese knew how the Politburo of the Mainland was working. Now, as the first person in person, Zhu Dunru's identity alone is enough to go down in history. Zhu Dunru knew that although he had not had a great chance of sitting here in the future, he did not need to participate in the first leadership election after the unification of Taiwan. After all, this is already the second term of his Taiwan leaders.
However, before get out of class is over, Taidao should thank himself for his decisive decision-making at critical moments.
He was thinking a lot here, but the No. 1 leader lit his name and smiled, "Everyone is familiar with Brother Dunru, I don't think you need to introduce everyone to everyone, and you will be more familiar with them when you come and go often. Today's incident also involves the fundamental interests of Taiwan. I believe everyone knows that what happened in the Gulf of Iran is crucial to us. Therefore, I invite Brother Dunru to attend this meeting to gather ideas and come up with a good countermeasure. As a family in Taiwan in mainland China, everyone should be in harmony."
After speaking the opening remarks, Chief No. 1 continued, "Everyone already knows that the Israelis and the Iranians have started a war, and what follows is a new energy crisis. As a major importer of crude oil, we will be greatly affected. Before the meeting, according to the information provided by the intelligence department, this war is not simple, and there are extremely strong signs of manipulation of major powers."
"In more than a month before the war, the Americans announced that they would provide tens of billions of dollars in military aid to the Israelis, and made the State of Israel the first country outside the United States to have an F-22 fighter jet, providing them with 6 F-22 fighter jets, plus 48 F-35s, the Israelis became the only country in the Middle East to have a fourth-generation fighter jet. I believe that the Israelis dispatched the F-22 that had just been received in this operation, because before that, intelligence showed that the Israelis sent more than 20 pilots to the United States to train F-22 fighter jet pilot skills more than three years ago."
"At the same time, the US military announced the increase of its garrison in Baghdad, reaching a scale of nearly 60,000 from three divisions again. One of them was the main armored division of the US military, and at the same time claimed to arm the American maneuver division composed of five Iraqis. Therefore, we have reason to believe that the Americans were planning behind the Israeli action."
"But now we don't know how long the scale and duration of this war will be. But no matter what, the Americans are very cruel. Now our country imports nearly 400 million tons of crude oil every year, of which 350 million tons of crude oil come from the Gulf and more than 70 million tons of crude oil from Iran. Now that the war is in progress, oil prices are soaring, and the supply alone will be greatly affected. The latest estimate of the energy sector is that if the war continues, we will have at least 200 million tons of crude oil shortage."
“Because the Iranians have announced that they will attack oil tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz, which will put a huge problem in crude oil exports in most Gulf countries.”
Chief No. 1 briefly explained the current situation, and then asked the members present, "The problem we are facing now is that whether we assist the Iranians to resist the attacks of the US and Israelis, we will be in a dilemma: if we assist the Iranians and make the war continue, the supply of crude oil will be in an abnormal state for a longer time; if we do not assist the Iranians and let the US and Israelis defeat the Iranians, then the entire crude oil supply will be completely manipulated by the Americans, and we will face the same price of oil at a sky-high price."
