    Of course, Yang Weiping wants to see a credit crisis in the U.S. dollar.

    The United States is not well regarded by Arabs in the Middle East.  This is also the fundamental reason why Yang Weiping dared to welcome Syria again after letting Iraq join the Petro-Asia Dollar.

    Before the outbreak of the Gulf War, the United States had not set off an armed storm in the Middle East and the Persian Gulf, and Arab countries were not as fearful of the United States as Yang Weiping was in his previous life.

    Since November 4, 1979, when radical Iranian students occupied the U.S. Embassy in Iran and took 60 embassy staff hostage, creating a sensational Iran hostage crisis, the United States and Iran have become enemies.

    The main reason why Arab countries are so hostile to the United States is that the United States too condones the Zionist expansion policy that favors Israel.

    Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, was once prosperous.  But now it has become a world-famous capital of horror.  Different political and religious organizations are engaged in fierce competition here for their own different interests.  Terrorist incidents such as artillery battles, gun battles, assassinations, kidnappings, and hijackings are endless.  The focus of the conflict is the fierce conflict between the Arab nation and Israel.  The United States' long-term foreign policy of supporting Israel has undoubtedly aroused Arabs' endless hatred of the United States. Naturally, Americans have become a living target for terrorist activities carried out by some Arab radical organizations.

    In March 1984, Buckley, first secretary of the U.S. Embassy in Lebanon and director of the CIA's Beirut station, was kidnapped by an unknown organization.  In more than a year this year, six more Americans were kidnapped, once again creating a hostage crisis that troubled the Reagan administration.

    The kidnappers asked the U.S. government for three conditions for the release of the hostages: the release of 17 prisoners who were thrown into prison by the Kuwaiti government for participating in the planning and attack on the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait in 1983; and the request for the U.S. government to put pressure on the Israeli government to release those imprisoned by Israel.  and Palestinians and Lebanese detained by the South Lebanon Army; providing loans to develop South Lebanon.  the kidnappers threatened.  If the U.S. government does not agree to these three conditions, the hostages will be executed one by one.

    The hostage crises that have emerged one after another have aroused serious concern from people from all walks of life in the United States.  On the one hand, the Reagan administration claimed to respond toughly.  Refuse to compromise with terrorists.  On the other hand, they are racking their brains to find a way to release the hostages.  But the results were minimal and the time dragged on.  The kidnappers finally grew impatient.  They do what they say.  At the end of August 1985, more than a year after he was kidnapped, the body of IA Beirut Station Director Buckley appeared in the photo.

    Reagan¡¯s inaction in handling the hostage crisis aroused strong dissatisfaction among domestic public opinion. Some members of Congress and journalists criticized the government for ¡°abandoning¡± the hostages.  In addition, the United States was on the eve of the mid-term elections at this time, and some people within the ruling Republican Party also asked Reagan to find a way as soon as possible to ease the pressure of public opinion and enhance the electoral capital of the Republicans.  Difficulties at home and abroad made it difficult for Reagan to sleep or eat well.

    Is there really nothing you can do?  no!

    During the various efforts made by the U.S. government for the release of the hostages.  They found that to find a way to free the hostages without agreeing to the conditions proposed by the kidnappers, they had to deal with Iran, an enemy of the United States.  Because Iran has undoubted influence over the kidnappers.  This discovery made White House staff laugh.

    It can be said that the hostage crisis of the United States in the Middle East has involved a lot of energy and resources of the United States.  In addition, we have to pay attention to the war in Afghanistan, instigate China to hold back the Soviet Union, and keep an eye on the British who are fighting in the Falklands to prevent the British from landing in Argentina.  The combination of many factors has resulted in Eastern Alliance growing invisibly, and ultimately the U.S. government has the regret of raising a tiger.

    The hostage crisis has not yet been resolved, and now there is a US dollar credit crisis.  Yang Weiping was really worried about the presidential throne on President Reagan's butt.

    ¡°If God had not given Reagan a halo, Yang Weiping could be sure that Reagan¡¯s presidential career was coming to an end.

    Reagan¡¯s political opponents would never miss such an excellent opportunity to bomb the president.

    Iraq originally had a pro-American tendency.  He fell silently to Donglian.  Syria, which now wears the same pants as the Soviet Union, has also chosen to cooperate with the Eastern Alliance, which makes the United States' position in the Middle East even more embarrassing.

    ¡°At this time, we must not irritate the American emperor any more, otherwise the American emperor will definitely jump over the wall in a hurry.

    After repeated consideration, Yang Weiping decided to call Mrs. Thatcher and convey a message to the U.S. government through the mouth of the Iron Lady. Eastern Alliance may be able to find a way to help the United States find a proper solution to the hostage crisis.

    After receiving a call from Yang Weiping, Mrs. Thatcher greatly appreciated Yang Weiping's political wisdom and readily agreed to serve as Yang Weiping's microphone.

      Washington, White House.

    Faced with the endless and aggressive trend of public opinion outside the country.  Reagan, who had always been calm, confident, chatty and cheerful, seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden.

    This sudden call came from British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.  The message it conveyed made Reagan and his staff feel as if they had grasped a life-saving straw, and everyone seemed particularly excited.

    The Eastern Alliance government may have a way to establish dialogue with a faction within Iran through the Assad family in Syria.  Convince the Iranians to return to the negotiating table with the United States!

    Reagan immediately summoned Secretary of State Shultz, Vice President Bush Sr., National Security Manager McFarlane, Secretary of Defense Weinberg, Deputy Director Casey, the actual head of the CIA, former Secretary of State Kissinger and others for emergency consultations.

    "Obviously, this message conveyed by Mrs. Thatcher once again proved that the young head of state of the Eastern Alliance did not actually want to cause a stalemate in relations with the United States." Kissinger obviously insisted on his "Eastern Alliance friendly theory"  "View, looking at the top leaders of the United States present with a particularly serious expression on his face, he said:

    "Iran's influence on those kidnappers is unquestionable! But the current relationship between the United States and the Iranian government makes it difficult for us to talk directly with Khomeini. If there is an Eastern Alliance acting as an intermediary, with the international reputation of Head of State Yang Weiping  and influence, as well as the Eastern Alliance¡¯s influence on Iraq and Syria, I believe Khomeini will definitely give this face to Head of State Yang Weiping!¡±

    "Iran does have influence on those kidnappers, but I think Syria has more influence on those kidnappers in Lebanon!" Secretary of State Shultz looked directly at Kissinger and asked seriously: "If we can make the Eastern Alliance  Persuading Syria to come forward and deal with those kidnappers is more direct and effective than us dealing with the Iranians! Mr. Kissinger, if the young head of state from the Eastern Alliance is really willing to help us with this, I believe he is fully capable of doing it.  At this point! It depends on whether he is sincere or not."

    "The relationship between Syria and Lebanon is closer than that between Iran and Lebanon." National Security Assistant McFarland nodded and said: "I don't know whether the young head of the Eastern Alliance has secret contacts with the Assad family, but since Syria  The government announced that its oil transactions will be settled in Asian dollars. I think the Syrian government should make such a decision because it has requests from the Eastern Union.¡±

    "Compared to the hostage crisis, I think the U.S. dollar credit crisis deserves more attention!" Bush Sr. expressed a different view with a very solemn expression: "Syria has always been a pro-Soviet regime, and the influence of the United States on Syria has always been very limited.  Several wars in the Middle East have put us on opposite sides of Syria. I think the Syrian government¡¯s choice of the Asian dollar as its currency settlement unit for international oil transactions is a deliberate revenge on the United States! Therefore, I think it can be regarded as an association with the East  Even if he is a good person, the Syrian government may not give up on him."

    "I really think it's possible that the series of espionage secret operations that took place in Aleppo stimulated Hafez Assad's sensitive self-esteem." CIA Deputy Director Casey said seriously: "According to the intelligence we have, East  The United States and Syria have indeed had economic and trade exchanges over the years, but there have not been any high-level meetings between the two sides. The real influence on Syria is the Soviet Union! If Yang Weiping can persuade Andropov to give Hafez al-Assad a  phone, maybe the Syrian government can give Eastern Union a favor."

    Reagan glanced at Bush Sr. from time to time with a serious expression on his face.

    Regarding Bush¡¯s speech just now, Reagan believed that the vice president in front of him clearly had ulterior motives.

    As one of the most vocal competitors in this round of U.S. elections, Bush Sr., who was originally the vice president, is undoubtedly the most powerful candidate to win the election.

    Reagan knew very well that the current hostage crisis was the biggest crisis that threatened his presidency.  As for the U.S. dollar credit crisis that Bush Sr. just raised, Reagan felt that the vice president was entirely alarmist.

    Syria¡¯s choice to change the international currency settlement unit for its oil transactions to the Asian dollar does have an impact on the flow of petrodollars.  However, this impact is not enough to threaten the strength of the US dollar in the international currency trading market.  Because after all, the current US dollar is still based on the gold standard and is not completely linked to oil.  As long as the Fed's gold reserves remain there, the dollar's credibility will not depreciate.

    Bush used the US dollar credit crisis to talk about things at this critical moment. He was obviously trying to remind everyone in the audience that as President of the United States, Reagan had another US dollar credit crisis before the hostage crisis was completely resolved. Should everyone pay attention to the current situation?  The president's ability was questioned, and the nuclear bomb was launched so that he, Bush Sr., the vice president, could succeed him.

    Damn Bush!  Damn the Bush family!  Do you really deserve to be so impatient?  If you don't fucking add insult to injury, you'll die.!

    "If you want to make my life difficult, you can't even try to make it easy for me!"  (To be continued)
