Chapter 1046 The Second Monkey
Prince Hasal saw that Boss Yang didn't speak, he was a little confused, so he couldn't understand what Yang Chen was worried about.
According to his idea, after the end of the Iran-Iraq war, the Gulf region will definitely be at peace for a period of time, at least between Iran and Iraq will not start a war easily and rekindle the war.
The two countries have been fighting for seven or eight years. Not to mention that the national treasury is empty, and they still owe a lot of foreign debts. All this money needs to be repaid.
Like the British Aerospace Corporation under Yang Chen, the British government is standing behind it, and the major arms companies have backers behind them. If they don’t pay back, who would want to do business with you in the future?
There are still many inconveniences when a person loses credit, not to mention a country loses credit.
The importance of oil resources, Prince Hassar believes that Boss Yang understands that mastering an oil field is equivalent to mastering a steady stream of wealth.
can make more money, why not?
Prince Hasal thought for a while, and couldn't help but ask, "Yang, what are you worried about?"
Yang Chen came back to his senses at the right time, looked at Prince Hasar in front of him, and said, "Prince, what do you think of Iraq at this time?"
"Yang, what do you mean?" Prince Hasar was stunned when he heard the words, and he became more and more confused about Yang Chen's question.
Yang Chen didn't fuss, and said bluntly: "As far as I know, after eight years of war, Iraq is not only burdened with huge foreign debts, but the domestic economic situation is also very bad."
"The ceasefire with Iran and the foreign troubles in Iraq will not be discussed for the time being, but the internal troubles should not be underestimated. After eight years of endless war, if the Iraqi government cannot restore the domestic economy as soon as possible and solve the living problems of the Iraqi people, it will easily happen. turmoil."
"During the war, everyone agrees with the outside world, and any contradictions and problems will be suppressed. However, after the war is over, internal problems will be infinitely magnified. At this time, if one is not handled well, what will happen, no one can predict."
Prince Hassar shook his head and said: "Yang, are you too sensitive? As far as I know, the current Iraqi leader is a very good leader. He came from a commoner and knows the thoughts of the people at the bottom very well. What you are worried about thing, I don't think it will happen."
"Maybe!" Yang Chen said with a faint smile.
Iraq at this time is a bit like Vietnam after the Vietnam War.
In the 1970s, with the support of the inland and the Soviet Union, Vietnam drove away the Americans and unified the country, claiming to be the third military power in the world, second only to the two superpowers of the United States and the Soviet Union.
Similarly, after the Iran-Iraq War, Iraq also claimed to be the third military power in the world.
There are reasons why Vietnam dared to call itself the third military power in the world. There are three main ones. The first one is the army.
Since the 1940s, Vietnam has resisted France first, and then resisted the United States. It has experienced 30 years of nationwide anti-Japanese war. Although the continuous war has caused countless casualties and casualties among Vietnamese soldiers and civilians, Vietnam has also exercised a good reputation in the long-term war of resistance. A brave steel army.
More than one million veterans with rich combat experience and war-torn experience, coupled with the careful training of military instructors from the Soviet Union and the mainland at that time, the Vietnamese army at that time was second to none in the world in terms of actual combat experience and combat literacy.
Leaving aside the millions of troops with rich combat experience, dare to let Vietnam be known as the third largest military power, and the weapons used by the Vietnamese army at that time.
After the Vietnam War, more than 500,000 US troops who participated in the Vietnam War at that time left almost all their weapons and equipment in Vietnam when they evacuated from Vietnam.
Since the beginning of World War I, the characteristic of the American wars is the combination of equipment. After the end of World War II, the US military's military weapons, except the Soviet Union, other countries, from rifles and artillery to aircraft and tanks, are all abused by the US military.
In addition to the advanced weapons left by the US military, the Soviet Union also assisted Vietnam with a large number of Soviet-style equipment in order to win over Vietnam.
Bringing together the advanced weapons of the two superpowers of the United States and the Soviet Union, the Vietnamese Army has become one of the best equipped armies in the world at that time, and it is not much better than the US Army and the Soviet Union.
With a team of millions of war-tested veterans and advanced weapons armed to the teeth, Vietnam had the confidence and capital to call itself the third military power in the world at that time.
Of course, what really made Vietnam fearless was the support of the Soviet Union, a world power.
At that time, due to Vietnam's resistance to the US military, the Soviet Union once regarded Vietnam as the first overseas alliance target. In addition to dealing with the United States, there was also a north-south restraint inland.
That ally of the Soviet Union is the greatest strength of the arrogance and domineering of Vietnam.
Similar to Vietnam, after the end of the Iran-Iraq war, Iraq’s greatest strength is that it is an important ally of the Soviet Union.
Although Iraq’s geographical location is much worse than Vietnam’s, Iraq has a little advantage over Vietnam, that is, it is richer than Vietnam, and at the same time rich in domestic oil resources.
Although the Soviet Union did not lack Iraq's oil resources, after all, the polar bear's land area is very large, and most of the oil resources must be exported to European countries.
But this did not prevent the Soviet Union from intervening and controlling the situation in the Middle East through Iraq as an ally.
Although Iraq is not the first ally of the Soviet Union, it is also a very important ally. At least in terms of weapons, Iraq is undoubtedly a big and fat sheep.
In addition to Vietnam, it has the Soviet Union as an ally.
Vietnam's military configuration is also available in Iraq.
Of course, unlike Vietnam, which enjoyed free advanced weapons and equipment from the United States and the Soviet Union at that time, Iraq relied on buying and buying.
The rich and powerful Iraq pushed the weapons and equipment of its own army to the top during the Iran-Iraq war.
Millions of Iraqi troops who have experienced eight years of war have more than 5,000 advanced tanks from various countries, more than 7,000 advanced armored vehicles, thousands of artillery pieces, nearly 1,000 combat aircraft and other advanced weapons.
In Iraq at this time, in terms of military weapons configuration, apart from the two superpowers of the United States and the Soviet Union, there is nothing wrong with ranking third.
What Vietnam had at that time was what Iraq had. Besides, there was no other big country like the landlocked country around Iraq.
The only Iran that can compete with it, the two countries have been fighting for seven or eight years, and they are already tired of fighting. Now once the two countries cease fire, as long as it is not a big deal, it is basically impossible to fight again.
According to normal people's thinking, after the end of the Iraq War, there will be a long period of peace.
Only Yang Chen knew that Iraq was going to hit a mine next and the consequences of invading Kuwait. I'm afraid the whole world didn't think of Iraq's army of millions, saying that if it was gone, it would be gone.
is like the disintegration of the Soviet Union, which is so fast that people are caught off guard.
Although he seeks wealth and wealth at risk, Sada’s mother brother is too famous in later generations, and Yang Chen is unwilling to have any unnecessary involvement with him.
Early, it is better to hide away.
