Babylonian Empire

From an emotional point of view, it is very good for Saudi Arabia to move closer to Iraq, but from an intellectual point of view, breaking the existing system would take a great risk.

While King Fahd was still hesitating, the secretary came in to report that American Ambassador Hume Holland was here!

At this critical time, what is the US ambassador doing here?Could it be that what they discussed secretly has been leaked?

Chapter 3 Dongfeng-[-] should be eliminated

"Your Majesty the King." Hume Horan looked at the Saudi King sitting on the chair, and said, "At the order of the President, I am here to convey a proposal from our country to your country."

Hume Horan is a frequent visitor of King Fahd, but King Fahd does not have a very good impression of him. This guy, with the United States behind him, has always been arrogant.

However, King Fahd was still relatively calm and said, "Any suggestions?"

"In order to show the friendly relationship between our two countries, please continue to increase your country's national debt holdings. Your country's finances are very loose, and you can also increase your country's income by holding our national debt." Hume Holland said .

National debt is also profitable, that is to say, you can earn a certain amount of interest every year.Hearing what Hume Horan said, King Fahd felt relieved. It turned out that he was selling US treasury bonds to himself. Due to the relationship between the Saudi government and the United States, when the United States was in crisis, he bought some US treasury bonds to help It is also possible for the United States to survive the crisis.

Instead of looking at Hume Horan's annoying face, King Fahd thought to himself that buying US treasury bonds of about US$20 billion or US$[-] billion can be regarded as helping them, and that is enough.

"No problem, we, Saudi Arabia, can increase our holdings of your country's national debt." King Fahd said very easily.

"As our ally of the United States, your country will definitely help us in this economic crisis," Hume-Holland said: "The national debt of 500 billion U.S. dollars is definitely not a big amount for Saudi Arabia."

etc! 500 billion?King Fahd asked: "How much national debt will your country issue?"

"2000 billion," said Hume Holland.

The annual issuance of national debt in the United States is only about 5000 billion, and now, an additional 2000 billion will be issued at once. King Fahd knows that this is definitely not a small amount. Moreover, if Saudi Arabia wants to buy 500 billion national debt, this Not to mention a small amount. At least, Saudi Arabia’s annual oil export income is about 500 billion US dollars. This is simply asking Saudi Arabia to give all of its annual oil to the United States.

Saudi Arabia is not short of money, not to mention 500 billion, even another 500 billion can be used. However, the Americans so easily ask Saudi Arabia to increase its holdings of US national debt, as if they are a family, and they are not polite at all.

King Fahd was already very displeased, and said: "This is not a small amount, we need to consider it carefully, Mr. Ambassador, please wait a few days, we need to discuss and discuss."

"I hope your country will reply as soon as possible. Our national debt is about to be issued." Hume Holland said.

Watching the American ambassador go out, King Fahd's face darkened.

"This time, there is a stock market crisis in the United States, and the U.S. government has no funds to rescue the market, so they hope that we can receive their national debt, so that the U.S. government will have funds to use to escape this storm ’” said Finance Minister Daoud.

"This is a matter for the Americans, why should we pay the bill?" Prince Sultan was very dissatisfied: "Moreover, asking us to hold 500 billion US dollars in national debt is simply robbery!"

Faced with this action by the United States, Prince Sultan finally expressed his extreme disgust.

"According to my estimation, the United States will definitely sell the 2000 billion US dollars to us, Kuwait, Iraq, Qatar and other Middle Eastern countries." King Fahd said.

I originally thought that relying on the force of the United States as a bodyguard could protect the security of the Saudi country, but now it seems that I was robbed by the bodyguards.If Saudi Arabia didn't have so many ideas before, Saudi Arabia could only have a good relationship with the United States, but now, Saudi Arabia has a new choice, and it is very dissatisfied with the practice imposed by the United States on Saudi Arabia.

"President Qusay, please come here," King Fahd said.

Although Qusay had already come in the afternoon, it seemed a little too frequent to call him again, but Fahd had gradually leaned towards Iraq's proposal. Between the United States and Iraq, choosing Iraq was more in line with Saudi Arabia's proposal. Interests, however, before that, King Fahd needs to be convinced that Iraq has the ability to challenge US military power.

When Hume Horan proposed to Saudi Arabia that they need to digest the national debt issued by the United States, other American ambassadors also made this request to their own goals. However, in Iraq, the American ambassador did not meet the Lord. Moreover, even if he met President Qusay, he would not simply and nakedly ask Iraq to hold US$500 billion in U.S. national debt. President Qusay of Iraq is definitely not so easy to talk about. If he said that, he would definitely be rejected by President Qusay.

Qusay was in conversation with Prince Waleed, and now Kingdom Construction has stepped up after entering the banking industry.Prince Walid relied on his mind to turn the Arab Commercial Bank, a bank that was on the verge of bankruptcy, into the most profitable bank in the Middle East.

Moreover, Prince Walid is now targeting the largest commercial bank in the United States, Citibank. This bank is now experiencing certain problems. It is likely that at some point, a crisis will occur. , Buy the stock of Citibank.

Prince Waleed is full of confidence.

At this moment, Qusay received an invitation from King Fahd, asking him to go to the palace to discuss again.

Hearing this news, Qusay knew that King Fahd must have made up his mind.

On the way to the palace, Qusay received domestic news that the US ambassador proposed that Iraq purchase more US national debt.

With all the news connected in series, Qusay became more confident. At this time, this action by the United States had aroused Saudi Arabia's resentment, and Saudi Arabia must be more inclined to its own proposal.

The balance in King Fahd's heart is gradually tilting towards Iraq, but now, he still has one question that he has not figured out. Is Iraq really capable of resisting the force of the United States?Although it is not imminent now, when they announce that they will use their own currency for settlement, it will be earth-shattering. The strong military power of the United States will definitely put pressure on them.

"Your Majesty the King." Qusay said, "The night view of Riyadh is really wonderful."

Before he knew it, the sky had already turned dark.

King Fahd heard Qusay's meaning from the words: their country is very sacred, and they need to use their own strength to defend their rights and interests.

"Yes, if Abdullah likes it, he can stay in Saudi Arabia for a few more days." Prince Sultan said.

"Now that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, it would be better to go to Lebanon to enjoy the warm Mediterranean sea breeze and bask in the sun," Qusay said.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, King Fahd said: "President Qusay, if we really implement the use of our own currency for settlement in the future, then, what does this mean, have you thought about it clearly?"

"It means that we can no longer worry about the influence of the United States, and we can turn the oil revenue into our own wealth. If the Americans force our own currency to appreciate, the dollar bills in our hands will become worthless." It’s valuable.” Qusay said: “Now the U.S. dollar is the main currency for transactions in the world, and because of this, the United States can unscrupulously print U.S. dollar bills and let the whole world pay for Americans.”

"If this is the case, the dollar becomes worthless, will the Americans agree?" King Fahd said.

"Definitely not," Qusay said.

Hearing Qusay's straightforward answer, King Fahd knew that Qusay must have been prepared. However, is Iraq capable of confronting the United States?Even the most powerful Soviet Union cannot continue to confront the United States, and it is only now in the stage of full-scale contraction, including abandoning Afghanistan.

"If this is the case, then within ten years, we may face a war, a war with the most powerful country in the world." Prince Sultan said.Even Prince Sultan, who is in charge of the armed forces, is not optimistic about this.

It turns out that Saudi Arabia is worried about these!Unlike Iraq, Iraq dares to face any enemy, but the wealthy Saudi Arabia has lost its blood.

"In particular, the United States also possesses powerful nuclear weapons." King Fahd said. King Fahd is very cautious. Unlike Colonel Gaddafi, he is high above himself and is not afraid of anything. He will not know until he is beaten I am still far from it.This is a major event that determines the direction of Saudi Arabia in the next few decades, and he must be cautious.

At the beginning, in several Middle East wars, Saudi Arabia had always stood by the Arab brothers. However, when Israel was most dangerous, Saudi Arabia was threatened by the United States. The United States even used nuclear weapons to threaten Saudi Arabia to withdraw from the war.King Fahd remembers this vividly.

"The Americans have it, and so do we," Qusay said.

Originally, Qusay did not clearly state that Iraq also possesses nuclear weapons, and has always been ambiguous.

"We don't just have nuclear weapons, we also have delivery vehicles," Qusay said.

"Has our Arab space company successfully imitated Dongfeng III?" Prince Sultan asked.

"Our Dongfeng-3 should be eliminated," said Qusay.

Hearing what Qusay said, everyone was stunned. Now, there are only three people present, Qusay, King Fahd and Prince Sultan. They all know the Dongfeng-3 missile best, which makes Saudi Arabia own A powerful strategic weapon is their trump card.

Because there are only dozens of Dongfeng-3, the Arab Space Company they jointly established began to imitate this missile. Now, Qusay actually said that this missile is going to be eliminated?What does it mean?

The first thousand and five chapters let the Arab nation stand at the head of the world nation

If you want Saudi Arabia to have the courage to follow in the footsteps of Iraq, and even in the future, go to the opposite side of the United States and give up the way of dollar oil. This requires sufficient confidence. Qusay needs to be seen by King Fahd. Iraq is fully prepared. In the future, Iraq has enough power to protect the security of the entire Middle East, and Saudi Arabia will also have enough power to protect its own security. Therefore, Qusay must let King Fahd know something.

"The Dongfeng-3 missile has solved our problem of availability. However, this is a liquid missile that needs to be refueled before use. Our launch preparation time is very long. This is necessary during combat. There are serious disadvantages, so solid missiles are the ultimate trend." Qusay said: "Through the efforts of our country's scientific researchers, we have successfully developed a medium-range solid ballistic missile with a range of [-] kilometers, and we are now preparing In the low-speed production stage, when we start to stabilize production, we can secretly export some of these missiles to Saudi Arabia."

Hearing Qusay's words, Prince Sultan was excited. What is the concept of a medium-range solid ballistic missile with a range of 3 kilometers?Such a missile is equivalent to five Dongfeng-3s. I think that I still regard Dongfeng-[-] as a treasure, and Iraq is far ahead.
