Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Just a few years ago, when President Clinton was in power, the United States was still prosperous. However, after Bush came to power, the situation in the United States changed so much that they simply couldn't believe it. This was the trust they elected.  The president has completely brought the entire United States into hell.

    Bush has a hard time defending his words. Under Clinton's aura, he appears to have become a complete loser.

    The Secretary of State personally went to Europe to lobby. However, the attitudes of European countries are very firm. The United States must gradually withdraw their troops from Europe.

    Although it can be maintained for the time being, the US withdrawal plan must be formulated, and Europe's defense will be more completed by the Europeans themselves.

    In the United States, the impeachment proceedings against Bush have also begun. Bush made serious mistakes, which completely pushed the U.S. economy to a low point. The Democratic Party has shown that the economic development of the United States during the Clinton period and the savings in the national treasury are the same as they are now.  Better than Bush, why don't you just find a piece of tofu and kill him?

    This incident led to a severe economic recession in the United States and the formation of a new world structure. The decline of the United States was in sharp contrast to the revival of Europe and the rise of the Middle East.

    Two months later, Bush stepped down amid domestic criticism and became one of the only presidents to be impeached in American history. The vice president came to power, but in the face of domestic and international situations, he still  No solution.

    At this time, the separatist forces in Turkey have intensified. The Turkish government has used aircraft and artillery to deal with the Kurdistan people who are about to be separated.  At this time, the Arabs declared that the eastern part of Turkey was a no-fly zone, prohibiting all kinds of fighter planes from flying there. Turkey was very angry about this. However, facing the Arabs who could not even defeat the Americans, Turkey had to swallow itself.  Bitter pill, no challenge to the Iraqis.

    The Kurds¡¯ long-awaited wish finally came true. They successfully established their own country, Kurdistan, which was immediately recognized by the Arab world.

    However, most of the refugees were Kurds who were originally in Turkey. As for the Kurds who were originally in Iran and Iraq, more of them chose to stay because their living standards at this time were already very high.  I don¡¯t want to go to a country that is still dominated by animal husbandry.

    The establishment of Kurdistan makes them very grateful to Iraq. Without Iraq's strong support, the Kurdish independence would be almost impossible.

    So, when Iraq offered to lease the original air force base where the US troops were stationed, they immediately agreed.

    In this way, the entire eastern part of the Mediterranean has been brought under the control of Iraq. From the bases in Kurdistan in the north to the air base in Libya in the south, any surface ship will be attacked by Iraqi fighter jets deployed here.  .

    The United States has begun negotiations with the Arab world. The tens of thousands of captured American soldiers are still staying in prisoner-of-war camps in Iraq. Needless to say, providing them with meals every day is an expense.

    Originally, the United States thought that Iraq would make various demands for compensation and shirk responsibility for the war. However, they did not expect that Iraq's demands were very low. In addition to asking the United States to lift the freeze on the assets of Arab countries, that is, the United States  It is only necessary to pay for the meals of these American troops in Iraq over the past few months.

    This request almost brought tears to Powell's eyes when he came to negotiate. They were already prepared. If Iraq proposed a war compensation of hundreds of millions of dollars, even though their economy was in recession, they would still have to accept it because,  The families of these prisoners of war have held many demonstrations in the country to protest against the government's inaction.

    Tariq, who came to negotiate, said something at the press conference that moved countless people and also made countless people curse the shamelessness of the Iraqis.

    "In the recorded history of mankind, the time without war has been less than a hundred years in total. Peace has always been a luxury. We Arabs have also felt this deeply and got rid of colonial rule in Iraq.  In less than a hundred years, we have spent almost all of it in wars and turmoil, so we feel the preciousness of peace even more. This large-scale military conflict broke out between us and the United States, and  This is not our original intention. We are not afraid of any war and have never been afraid of nuclear deterrence. However, we still pray for peace. Therefore, for the sake of peace, we are willing to return these soldiers who are far away from home to their own land, and  , we also welcome them to come here to travel at any time. War is a game for politicians. For civilians, what they want is to drink a cup of hot coffee at home, spend time with their families, and live a peaceful life.A peaceful and stable life.  "

    After the peace agreement was reached, the United States was already a complete loser no matter how you looked at it. At the end, Powell still felt a lot of embarrassment because Iraq refused to use U.S. dollars to settle the meal compensation to Iraq.

    In the past few months, the U.S. dollar has depreciated by 40%. The foreign exchange reserves of various countries have begun to greatly reduce the U.S. dollar and began to store more euros and Arab dollars. Iraq is faced with the worthless money in the national treasury.  U.S. dollars, no matter where they are willing to accept U.S. dollars.

    In desperation, Powell agreed to use U.S. gold reserves for settlement.

    In addition to these prisoners of war, the rest is American equipment. During the naval battle, Iraq captured several warships including the USS Washington nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and the Aegis cruiser, and also salvaged an American B-52 bomber. These  The thing, until now, still belongs to the Americans, and Iraq has already carried out some repairs on the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, and the damaged parts have been restored.

    " Iraq can give away prisoners of war for almost nothing, but Iraq cannot give these equipment for free. In particular, Iraq has helped the Americans repair these warships, so the Americans must spend some money.

    The price indicated by Qusay is 500 million A$.  However, Tariq, who was familiar with Qusay's temper, opened his mouth during the negotiation, and the amount had already turned into 1.5 billion Afghan dollars.

    When the time comes, Americans can still show their generosity when they make a counteroffer.

    But in the end, what no one expected was that the United States disagreed. They put forward an idea that Tariq would never have imagined. Simply, Iraq would invest US$1.5 billion, and the Americans would sell all these warships to Iraq.  .

    The Americans actually don¡¯t want these warships.

    It's not that the Americans don't want it, but because the United States can no longer maintain such huge military expenditures. Facing domestic problems, they can only reduce various expenditures. Many domestic research and development projects have been cut, and even  Funding for the F-22 fighter jets that are about to enter service cannot be smoothly received.

    In the United States, a wave of immigration has begun. In the past, other people immigrated to the United States, but now, people immigrate from the United States to Europe, and some also immigrate to the Middle East, but after all, they are a minority.

    Under this circumstance, if the Americans get these warships back at a high price, they might as well sell them directly to Iraq. The United States has decided to maintain the size of the five aircraft carrier battle groups and reduce the strength by half.

    Of course Iraq will not provide US$1.5 billion. These warships were all captured by Iraq. Why should Iraq contribute?  After difficult negotiations between the two parties, Iraq finally paid US$50 million to take over all these warships.  The US$50 million mainly requires the United States to provide nuclear reactor dismantling and processing technology.

    The United States knows that since these warships have been carefully studied by Iraq for several months, all the secrets inside are no longer secrets.

    As for Iraq, there are indeed many things on these warships that they are more interested in. They have figured out the main structure of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, which will play a role in designing their next-generation aircraft carrier.  Very important role.

    In addition to the American problem, another problem is the Jews.

    Iraq has sent troops to control the Jews in all settlements. As with the original purpose, Iraq can attack the Israeli army, the Israeli government heads and others, but it must not commit massacres of ordinary Jewish civilians.

    Due to years of grievances, even if the Iraqis did not take action, they were afraid that some extremist organizations would do so. Moreover, this kind of behavior would be encouraged by the ignorant. Therefore, Iraq controlled all the Jews in advance. At the same time,  protect them.

    The entire land is already Palestinian land. Iraq will station troops in places such as Haifa and Tel Aviv, and Iraq¡¯s Mediterranean fleet will use Haifa as its home port.

    And the problem of how to resettle these Jews has begun to become realistic.

    At this moment, the Jewish forces in the United States finally began to take action. They sent representatives, hoping to negotiate with the Iraqi government.

    The Zionists know that their dream has been shattered, so what they need to do now is to rescue their compatriots. Iraq will never allow them to stay there, and even if it is allowed  It's no longer safe for them to continue there.

    In the 18th century, there were only a few hundred Jews here. Before World War II, there were only 40,000 Jews here. After the end of World War II, there were 600,000 Jews here.  after?Through continuous migration and reproduction, the population here reached 6 million Jews.

    So, how will Iraq treat these Jews?

    The world is watching here, watching how Iraq behaves and how they will react.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
