200 Law Street, Brussels, the capital of Belgium. .
A cross-shaped building, magnificent. Everyone who travels here must take a photo here. This is the most symbolic building in Brussels, the capital of Belgium, and the headquarters of the European Union. When it was completed, it It was the predecessor of the European Union at that time, which was the seat of the European Community.
Today, the atmosphere here is grand, and the President of the European Union is even more radiant, welcoming those wearing Arab robes into the venue.
In the scene, flash lights kept flashing.
Senior officials such as the Saudi Oil Minister entered the venue, as well as important figures from other OPEC member states, who were the stars of the day.
Here they will sign an important agreement that from now on, the euro, as an official currency, will be able to be used for oil settlements.
Although this negotiation was good, it was also very difficult. The EU knows how using euros to settle oil will have an impact on their economy, but OPEC members have also put forward additional political conditions.
OPEC countries must recognize the current situation. For example, Israel has completely withdrawn from the stage of history. This country no longer exists. All there is Palestinian land. At the same time, later, when Iraq tested nuclear weapons, they added that they would abstain from voting at the United Nations and could not impose sanctions on Iraq.
These conditions are simply threatening European countries to change their defense policies.
Therefore, the conditions for settling oil in euros were very tempting, but they could not impress them enough. It was not until Iraq defeated the US aircraft carrier formation at sea and until Iraq tested nuclear weapons that all this became clear.
Israel. The country has been destroyed, and the Jews living there have been disarmed. Now, they have no use value.
The Jews have money, but under the current circumstances, it is simply impossible to organize an army to confront the aggressive Arab army.
Can support the Jews. The only one is the United States, and the United States has indeed done so.
The Americans have powerful military force and a huge arsenal of nuclear weapons. When Iraq is so arrogant, of course the Americans have to stretch out their hands and teach the Iraqis a lesson.
¡°However, in the end, the Americans were taught a lesson.
The world¡¯s major trends. It is now very obvious that the United States is about to decline. It has left the Middle East and petrodollars. The Americans have overdrafted their national power for so many years. Raping other countries' economies to support our own luxurious life is finally coming to an end.
??Especially, the Americans¡¯ last resort. A nuclear strike is also impossible.
Under this circumstance, the EU countries finally reached a consensus: for the sake of Europe's own economic development, this agreement was launched with OPEC.
EU countries acquiesce to the current world order, including areas controlled by the Palestinian state. Within the United Nations, in response to the sanctions proposed by the United States against Iraq. They abstained from voting.
Only abstention is enough, because if there are not enough votes, the United States will still be unable to carry out just sanctions.
The United States has also exerted great pressure on European countries, but at this time, the pressure from the United States is no longer as important as before.
??At the beginning, when the United States wanted the mark to appreciate, Germany had to obey its orders. Now, the influence of the United States is no longer that great.
Even an Iraqi can beat the US Navy to pieces. Do Americans think they are still that powerful empire?
For the sake of Europe¡¯s own development, it¡¯s time for them to straighten their backs.
"Europe is an ancient economy. Now, we are very happy to see that Europe is gradually moving towards a unified Europe. The links between us in the Arab world and Europe are getting closer and closer, and Europe has A unified currency, in this case, we use the US dollar as settlement, is outdated, so using euros to settle currencies is a move by our OPEC organization to better contribute to the economies of both parties. Between our two sides We will continue to deepen bilateral relations and promote continued economic development and peaceful development of the entire world." The Saudi Oil Minister delivered a passionate speech.
Amid the flashes of countless cameras, both parties signed a document.
This document represents the arrival of a new era.
Washington.
"This time, was the military adequately prepared for military action? The disastrous defeat of our military has caused tens of billions of dollars in losses, and we are?Follow the old path of the Vietnam War. asked one council member.
"Under the circumstances, we had to dispatch troops quickly. Our troops stationed in Israel were surrounded by Arabs, and we had to rescue them," Rumsfeld said.
It is not only the president who is being questioned by Congress, but also important figures in the military. Therefore, in this war, they have seen that the United States has failed militarily, economically, and politically.
"In other words, we are not ready?"
"Our military is always ready. In order to protect our interests in the world, they can go into battle at any time."
"So, in the face of this series of failures, what does the military want to say? Is it because we have no responsibility because Iraq is too powerful?"
"No, this series of defeats is a test for us and the United States of America. I think that under the circumstances, it was absolutely right for us to do what we did. Of course, the responsibility for the failure of the war needs to be Someone takes the responsibility and I ask to resign as defense minister."
"I think this has nothing to do with the Minister of Defense. What matters now is not who to hold accountable, but how to change the current situation. For example, what method will we continue to use to completely attack the Arabs," another congressman said. .
The U.S. Congress is also divided into two groups. One group believes that the government's response this time was unfavorable and should be accountable, while the other group believes that the most important thing is to attack the Arabs. Of course, among these people, Jews make up the majority. .
The Jews are full of hatred. Their own country is gone, and their hope is gone. If Americans do not come forward, they will be forced to wander around the world again.
For them, the United States must take action, even if it means using nuclear bombs to completely kill all the Arabs, it is not an exaggeration.
As for Iraq¡¯s possible nuclear counterattack, they don¡¯t care at all.
Israel has been destroyed, so what do they have to fear?
"What plans does the military have to continue, for example, whether it will use our nuclear weapons?" another congressman asked.
"We are now faced with a difficult choice because Iraq also has nuclear weapons." Rumsfeld said: "If we want to use our nuclear weapons, then we will also be hit."
¡°In other words, our military has completely failed. It was a waste of our taxpayers¡¯ money to maintain a huge army and it has completely failed?¡± the Jewish congressman asked.
"It's not that we failed, it's just that our strength is withdrawing from there." Rumsfeld said.
Suddenly, the MPs let out a burst of sighs.
"Leave oil, our dollar, our economic problem, how to solve it, just a few hours ago, Europe has signed an agreement with the Arabs, they buy oil, they will use euros directly, and the Arabs buy in Europe We will also directly use the euro or the Argentinian dollar for things, and our American economy will be severely impacted." Another congressman asked. At this time, the person receiving the inquiry had been replaced by President Bush.
Bush looked grim and said: "The petrodollar system is an important pillar of our economy, and we will never tolerate this kind of behavior from Arab countries. We have decided to completely freeze Arab funds in the United States and transfer their Real estate, nationalize it, and we need to put pressure on European countries to cancel this risky activity.¡±
Bush also knows that this issue is even more important. This is how Bush got down.
"Will this be able to offset our losses? Now, our national debt has been sold off in the foreign exchange market, our economy is about to experience a sharp decline, and our US dollars have been rejected by some countries. How can we respond in a more effective way?"
This Bush is actually not very good at economic problems. He glanced at the Finance Minister below, who was lowering his head, and he knew that, I'm afraid, this is unsolvable.
Suddenly, a military personnel walked into the venue, apologized to the speaker presiding over the meeting, and then walked directly to the president and whispered: "Emergency, our two B-52 bombers stationed in Germany, an hour ago , disappeared from the radar screen.¡±
If it disappears, it will disappear. Germany is still far away. Bush was disapproving of having his inquiry interrupted by something like this. This excuse could not get him out of here.
But then, what he heard made him completely moved: "The two bombers may have nuclear bombs on them."??'s Tomahawk missile. "
"Two B-52s and cruise missiles carrying nuclear warheads disappeared. That is definitely not a small matter.
"Did it crash?" Bush asked.
¡°They did not find the wreckage of the plane where it disappeared. They conducted emergency operations and found out that the crew members of the two bombers were all Jews.¡±
¡°Jews, needless to say, they must be flying bombers and want to bomb the Arabs. Damn it, if they were allowed to succeed, the angry Qusay would definitely throw a hydrogen bomb over the United States without hesitation.
