Overweight U.S. Treasuries!

Although Clinton is very dissatisfied with the borrowing rate, he wants to achieve a fiscal surplus, but now, the US economy has just started to improve, so if there are more funds, then it will be easier for the US to achieve economic recovery plan.

Iraq has increased its holdings, which means that other Middle Eastern countries, such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other countries, will increase their holdings. This will be a signal of improving relations between the two sides!

"We in the United States are very grateful to your country for continuing to increase our national debt. The relationship between the United States and countries in the Middle East will become closer because of this move by your country," Clinton said.

"Yes, we also have a request." Qusay said: "As a testimony of our friendship, we hope that your country can withdraw its troops from Israel!"

If Qusay wants to take the initiative to suffer, it can only show that he has a bigger plan. Bush, who has been the vice president for eight years and then the president of the United States, already knows Qusay very well.However, Clinton, who had only been in Arkansas before that, was not very clear.

Qusay dropped the bomb. We in Iraq are willing to maintain friendly relations with the United States, recognize the hegemony of the US dollar, and increase our holdings of US treasury bonds. However, the United States must withdraw its troops from Israel!

In fact, in last year's actions, the Arab countries were all selling US treasury bonds. Therefore, even if they increased their holdings now, they would return to the original level at most, and they would not suffer much.

As long as U.S. dollars are still used to settle oil, then all countries will have a large amount of U.S. dollar reserves. These U.S. dollars cannot appreciate. Although they also use U.S. dollars for imports, they still have a considerable part of U.S. dollar reserves. It is better to buy government bonds than to keep them in the treasury. After all, government bonds still have income.This is also good for them.

According to the analysis of later generations, Qusay knew that for Clinton, economic development was the most important thing, and he was not the one who would cause trouble everywhere.Therefore, to do what it likes, Iraq can be regarded as the best of benevolence and righteousness, and it depends on how the other party throws peaches and repays them.

This problem was thrown to Clinton, because, due to the strategic issues of the United States, they must station troops in Israel, so as to protect Israel from the attacks of the surrounding Arab countries. The war last year has already explained One problem, if there is no support from the United States, Israel's subjugation will happen at any time.

No matter how good the relationship with the surrounding Arab countries is, the United States has always been hardcore with Israel. This is one of the reasons why Clinton continued to increase troops to Israel after he came to power.

If it is for any other country, the United States at this time has already responded in cold official language. Where we station our troops in the United States is a matter for the United States. Please do not interfere in the internal affairs of the United States!

It is good enough that the United States does not interfere in your internal affairs. How can you interfere in the internal affairs of the United States?

Therefore, the question raised by Qusay has touched the high-tension line of the United States, and it is more politically fraudulent to raise it at this time.

Clinton frowned. He immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. It was absolutely impossible for the United States to withdraw its troops.How to reject the other party without hurting the superficial friendship between each other? (Please search, novels are better and faster!)

The first thousand and 120th chapters put aside disputes and make progress together

"President Qusay, we stationed troops in Israel to maintain the stability there. Your country does not border Israel, so our troops stationed there should have nothing to do with your country, right?" said the Secretary of State who followed Clinton. Christopher said.

We don't have troops stationed in Iraq, what does that have to do with you!Although the United States is short of money, there is no need to give up its interests in Israel just because Arabs say they want to lend money to the United States, right?

Hearing this, Qusay knew that it was probably a good thing that these Yankees didn't give him a few harsher words.

"My fellow American friends," Qusay said, "We in the Arab world are a united world. We cannot stand by and watch our Palestinian brothers suffer. Israel has invaded the territory of our Palestinian brothers. They can be so strong and so powerful." Arrogance is inseparable from your country’s support. Your country’s stationing of troops in Israel will seriously damage the interests of our Arab countries, and this is also the main contradiction between our Arab world and your country.”

Qusay's words made the Americans look serious. Qusay pointed out that the Americans are Israel's accomplices behind the scenes. It is because of the United States that Israel can be so arrogant. This is absolutely unacceptable to the Americans.

"We, the United States, are also friendly countries that support your country. Palestine is pursuing its own legitimate rights and interests. For example, in last year's war, the United States did not use its own troops to participate in the battle. Is this still true? Isn't that enough to show our support for the Arab world?" Christopher said.

That's because you didn't have the ability at that time!If there were three divisions now, under the command of Bush, they would have already started to move.Qusay thought in his heart, but he said: "Yes, you did not act last time, so it is meaningless for that army to station on the land of Israel. All the supplies there have to be transported there. , Even the fuel supplies have to be transported by sea, the hell is small, there is not even a place for shooting targets, why not station in Germany or your country's territory!"

Qusay pointed out that, of course, it has deep meaning. For the United States, stationing troops in Israel is not a good choice. All logistics materials have to be transported. For the Clinton administration, which is gradually reducing military expenditure and reducing overseas troops That said, the Israeli garrison is indeed a liability.Moreover, such a garrison, in the event of a real war, will be destroyed by Iraq at any time and cannot move.

The U.S. government probably hates Clinton deeply. In the federal government before 1991, the defense expenditure accounted for more than 25% of the annual budget. , defense spending accounted for only 1999%.

"Besides, we don't know that the funds we used to buy US treasury bonds will be used to invest in your country's troops stationed in Israel?" Qusay still had a smile on his face, but what he said could be said. Killed.Obviously, if the United States does not agree to withdraw its troops, then all the conditions promised before are empty talk.

Iraq threw out the killer weapon of buying U.S. treasury bonds. To be honest, Clinton was still very interested, but he absolutely could not agree to garrison troops from Israel. He was thinking about how to respond when he heard Hillary next to him Said: "Our current foreign policy in the United States has undergone great changes. For example, we have changed our original hostile attitude towards China and proposed a policy of comprehensive engagement. A strong, stable, modernizing and prosperous China In the long-term interests of the United States, we hope to develop a comprehensive relationship with China to eliminate the differences between the two sides in a broader strategic context. These words are the same for your country and the entire Arab world. Now, the Arab The world is undergoing tremendous changes. A united, stable, industrialized and dynamic Arab world is in our long-term interests. We are willing to develop a comprehensive development with the entire Arab world represented by your country in terms of finance and other aspects. Partnership. However, our differences still exist. For example, regarding the issue of the garrison you raised, we can put it aside for the time being, put aside the dispute, and look forward together. As the relationship between us gradually develops To improve, these disputes can be satisfactorily resolved through subsequent negotiations."

Hillary’s words are very ingenious. Put aside the dispute and resolve it later. Now we are here to discuss cooperation between us, not to quarrel. Wouldn’t it be better for us to leave this matter for later?

At this time, Hillary had already shown her diplomatic ability to a certain extent. However, Clinton knew that it was obviously impossible to get the young leader in front of him to agree. There was still something missing.

After Hillary finished speaking, Clinton immediately added: "It is true that the cooperation between the two sides is more important for us now. We can gradually solve these problems in the future. Moreover, we, the United States, now, in order to show our sincerity, can Recognize the State of Palestine and restore the status of the State of Palestine to the United Nations. The rest of our disputes, for the time being."

The State of Palestine has been established, but until now, it has not been recognized by the United States and other countries. In the United Nations, the United States is still boycotting the State of Palestine, and their legitimate rights and interests cannot be restored.

Now, Clinton has proposed to recognize the state of Palestine, which is also a manifestation of the trend of history. Regardless of whether they agree or not, the state of Palestine has officially stood there. Moreover, if you want to keep this region peaceful, then soften the tension between the two sides. Contradictions are also very important. The recognition of the State of Palestine by the United States can be regarded as an explanation to the Arab world.Secondly, regardless of whether the United States admits it or not, because the third world countries are now very powerful in the United Nations, it is not difficult for them to bring the State of Palestine into the United Nations.

Clinton must have sufficient diplomatic skills to become the president of the United States. This adaptability and careful consideration is a successful diplomatic operation.

Clinton's proposal also made Qusay think carefully in his heart. Just now, he proposed to let the American people get out of Israel. It was just a bomb thrown. , just for a cost of further bargaining, now that the American has taken the initiative to sit down, should he accept it as soon as he sees it?

Of course not enough!I have to ask for more money.

"Put aside the dispute?" Qusay said thoughtfully: "In other words, your country's troops stationed in Israel will never withdraw?"

When Qusay asked this, the temperature in the venue immediately dropped a few degrees. In this way, it is very likely that the President of the United States will come excitedly, and finally leave in a huff, completely froze the relationship between the United States and the Middle East.

"Yes, this is our basic foreign policy of the United States and cannot be changed," Clinton said.

After hearing this sentence, Qu Sai said: "Okay, then I agree, we can put aside the dispute on this matter, but we still have one condition."

Hearing the translated words, the United States entered a smile again. Since Qusay has already agreed, then, even if the core issue is over, what are the conditions?As long as it's not too much, you can agree.

"On what terms?" Clinton asked.

"Your country's garrison, with the present as the limit, can't add even one more civilian staff." Qu Sai said: "Otherwise, if your side mobilizes an armored division within a few months like now, then, We in Iraq had no choice but to keep mobilizing our domestic armored divisions, until even our capital, Baghdad, could not leave any decent troops.”

Although the first half of the sentence is still a bit unpleasant for the United States, why do you want to involve us in the United States to mobilize its own troops?But the second half of the sentence reveals Qusay’s intention. Now, although the relationship between the two sides has eased, there is still a hostile side to each other. If the United States mobilizes the entire Seventh Army, Then, Iraq has no other option but to continue to mobilize troops. In this way, it is actually of no benefit to both parties.The Iraqi army is not as large as that of the United States. If they are all mobilized, their own domestic forces will be empty. For the United States, mobilizing too many troops in the past and logistical supplies will indeed make them bear a heavy burden, that is, transporting two armored divisions The fuel needed to start the M1 tanks is enough for them to feel distressed. Now that the U.S. military has to greatly reduce military expenditures, money can no longer be spent as casually as before.

The correct foreign policy is to find a meeting point between the two sides. The rhetoric in the palace of the Republic, the final result, makes both sides very satisfied.

Clinton's trip to the Middle East this time went very smoothly. Under his promotion, the relationship between the Arab world and the United States, which was destroyed during the Bush period, began to ease again. The two sides have launched extensive cooperation in the economic field. The oil system, which has been firmly in existence on the 1st, and the cornerstone supporting the US economy, has not collapsed.

For Iraq, it is completely in their interests to continue to maintain good relations with the United States. The advanced military technology of the United States must no longer be imported, but it is still a good fit for civilian use. In this regard, Since Iraq has been able to produce a variety of products, they are no longer pure imports, but export a large number of industrial and agricultural products.

Chapter 130 Blizzard

War is just an extreme means to achieve a certain political goal, and these are ultimately for the economy. What Iraq needs is not to confront the United States, but to seize the time of the past few years and continue to develop itself. 90s , is an era of rapid economic development!When Iraq, when the entire Arab world has truly become an economic power, it will be easy to solve the Israeli issue.

Confronting the United States will arouse the Arab world's strong resentment towards the United States, and label itself as an anti-American scholar, which will be recognized by the Arab world. Qusay is unwilling to do this kind of action.

Disputes and cooperation coexist, and everything is looking forward, developing their own national economy and improving the industrial level of the entire Arab world. This is the most urgent problem they need to solve.

For Iraq, at this stage, the most important thing is to digest and integrate the precious wealth left over from the disintegration of the Soviet Union!Of course, these precious wealth do not refer to money, but to entry and technology.

With the reduction of contradictions and the increase of cooperation with the United States, Iraq has ushered in another stage of rapid development.For the United States, this period is a peak period of rapid development, so why not for Iraq?

This change, for Iraq, is absolutely not an exaggeration to describe it as catastrophic.

March 1995, Southern Iraq, Arab Space Corporation.

Here, a large-scale launcher has been newly built. Of course, this launcher was not developed by Arab Space Company itself. It was transferred from the Baikonur Space Center in Kazakhstan. This launcher has never been used before, and it is like a brand new one.

This launcher is specially made. Three such large launchers were created at the beginning, and they were only used to launch one thing, that is, the Blizzard aerospace plane!

The Buran aviation aircraft was a swan song of the Soviet aerospace program.Its birth was extremely brilliant, but its ending was on the verge of being abandoned just like the broken Soviet Union.

In the history of human exploration of the universe, there are two systems: non-entry spaceflight and on-board spaceflight, and on-board spaceflight technology is only mastered by the United States and Russia. The difference is that the United States is now using spaceflight Airplanes died, and Russia is still using spacecraft.
