    In fact, this is not the first time Kuwait has requested military assistance from China. As early as when the Iran-Iraq war was in full swing, Kuwait requested escort from the five major gangsters in the Security Council because its oil tankers were attacked by Iran and Iraq.  This does not mean that Kuwait has any special respect for China, but as a small country, every big country needs to be fawned over.

    Especially after witnessing China¡¯s majesty at the National Day military parade, Kuwait felt that China should be as powerful as the United States and the Soviet Union. It even deliberately favored China in arms purchases in order to make good friends with China.

    China has not specifically taken care of Kuwait, but it has indeed sent a fleet to the Persian Gulf to carry out mine clearance missions. It has a certain sense of military presence. Therefore, in addition to turning to the United States and other Western countries, the Crown Prince of Kuwait also had to ask for help from another military power, China.  look.  As for the Soviet Union, everyone knows that they have too much to take care of themselves now, and the Soviet Union has always supported Iraq.

    Of course, it is impossible for Chinese Ambassador Sun Bigan to make any promises on the spot. He is more official like the United States, but official talk leaves all kinds of leeway. "Our country has always called on all countries in the world to use communication and negotiation to resolve disputes and problems, and opposes the use of  Use of force destroys regional peace and stability. Our country expresses serious concern and strong condemnation of Iraq¡¯s flagrant invasion of Kuwait, and may take all necessary means to help restore peace to the region and bring justice to Kuwait.¡±

    As a politician, Saad is also used to Tai Chi. Although it is far from what he expected, at least China has not closed the door. If the lobbying is done properly, there is still a lot to be done.

    Saad added: "Our country is willing to bear the military expenses for your country to send troops to assist in rescuing people from danger. At the same time, Kuwait will also be deeply grateful for China's generosity."

    Sun Bigan thought for a while, and he basically understood the attitude in the country, but sending troops to the Persian Gulf at this time was definitely not to be the leader, so he said: "If there is a need, our country will consider sending troops to help expel the Kuwaitis."  Aggressors, but our country also opposes all unilateral actions and advocates international dialogue and cooperation. In the final analysis, this matter still depends on the decision of the Security Council. Our country will do its best to promote the adoption of a resolution by the Security Council and form a coalition to expel the Iraqi army."

    Saad finally gained something and left with a lot of gratitude.  The crown prince, who was on the verge of national destruction, had just left, and a member of the royal family of Saudi Arabia, Nayef, the son of Prince Abdullah, hurried over to meet with Sun Bigan, the Chinese ambassador to Saudi Arabia.

    After a brief exchange of greetings with Ambassador Sun, Nayef went straight to the point and said: "Saddam's ambitions may have expanded beyond reach. Today it is Kuwait that suffers, and tomorrow it may be the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, or even Saudi Arabia. Although Fahd and Germany  Both His Majesty the King and I have great confidence in our country's desert lions, but none of us want to see the flames of war burning on our land. In order to deal with the crisis, on the order of His Majesty the King, I have been working with Ambassador Sun and your representative.  We are meeting with China and hope to have good communication and work out a way to deal with this crisis.¡±

    Ambassador Sun repeated what he had just said to the Crown Prince of Kuwait, expressing China¡¯s position that China would never sit idly by and ignore the situation, but he did not elaborate on his reasoning.

    Nayef added: "Our country pursues a foreign policy of neutrality and non-alignment. Regarding the Gulf crisis, we also hold the position that negotiation is better than using force to resolve the crisis. But now this plan is becoming more and more difficult as time goes by.  The more unrealizable it is, the more absurd and crazy an offensive it may launch at any time. It is obviously impossible to withstand Iraq with the military power of Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries, so military assistance from China and the United States is particularly important.  To tell you the truth, although His Majesty the King knows that military assistance and the opening of our country's facilities for reinforcements are inevitable, we still have many doubts about the United States. "

    Of course Sun Bigan understood what Nayef meant. The U.S. strategy in the Middle East is by no means simple. The core is to support Israel and suppress other Arab countries. The United States is also half-hearted about Saudi Arabia. The Islamic Revolution broke out in Iran ten years ago, and Carter in the United States  Both the government and Saudi Arabia stood against the rise of Khomeini. The United States agreed to send two squadrons of B15 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia. However, when the plane was halfway through the flight, the Carter government canceled the aid on the pretext that the plane did not carry weapons, thus causing  Saudi Arabia is in a very awkward situation in the Arab world.

    "The United States summoned our ambassador to the United States, Prince Bandar, and showed him satellite images, which showed that Iraq is coveting us. And US Defense Secretary Cheney will soon lead a large delegation to visit our country,  The purpose is obviously to persuade His Majesty the King to allow the US military to move in and help Saudi Arabia resist the invasion of Iraq. His Majesty the King is now in a complicated mood. He is actually more inclined to form a joint Arab force, but this is obviously not possible in the short term.  And the threat from Iraq is just around the corner.

    His Majesty the King specially asked me to come to communicate with China. I would like to ask if China has any ideas on this maritime issue.?Sending troops in a crisis, His Majesty the King has great trust in the integrity and integrity of the Chinese people, and to tell you the truth, if China agrees to send troops, it can also form an effective containment effect on the Americans in the Middle East.  "

    This is an obvious balancing policy, and Nayef is not afraid to speak out, because basically anyone can understand it.  If we simply allow the large-scale U.S. military to enter Saudi Arabia, then the U.S. military will inevitably enjoy all the dominance and may even do whatever they want. King Fahd is still very scrupulous about the Americans and is afraid that they will now understand the situation in Saudi Arabia.  , it changed hands and was given to Israel.

    Ambassador Sun could only say: "I will urge the country to make a decision as soon as possible, and I ask you and His Majesty the King to wait patiently."

    Soon, the spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated at a regular press conference: "China opposes all acts of aggression and is very shameless about Iraq's actual aggression through economic and territorial issues. The eyes of the people of the world are sharp, and it is  The tolerance of unjust behavior is also limited. Here, our country solemnly warns Iraq to unconditionally withdraw its troops from Kuwait and compensate Kuwait and other countries for their losses. Otherwise, our country will cooperate with other countries in the world on the premise of complying with the United Nations framework and international norms.  Reach multilateral cooperation and make any necessary response to the situation in the Gulf.¡±

    A reporter felt that the statement was not specific enough and added: "Does any necessary response include sending troops to the Persian Gulf?"

    The spokesperson nodded and said: "I have said that everything is necessary, and military assistance is obviously one of them."

    After such remarks were released, they immediately triggered a major response and were published by mainstream media around the world.

    "China intends to send troops to the Persian Gulf to teach the military madman Saddam a lesson."

    "China may take military action, which may be related to the United States' announcement of sending troops the day before yesterday."

    ¡°Authoritative sources pointed out that China¡¯s military actions will be carried out within the framework of the United Nations Security Council, which means that China will first prompt the Security Council to pass a resolution on the use of force against Iraq.¡±

    After China sent an obvious warning signal, U.S. Secretary of State Baker, who was wooing allies all over the world, immediately said in an interview with the media: ¡°the United States welcomes the efforts of China¡¯s allies to promote peace in the Middle East and believes that this  It is constructive and positive. As one of the strongest military allies of the United States, military coordination with Chinese allies may play a major role in our upcoming actions. I will visit China in the near future to consult and reach agreements with Chinese allies.  consensus on how to jointly respond to this crisis.¡±

    China¡¯s deployment of troops to the Persian Gulf was actually much earlier than that of the United States. It is even said that Qi Yiming began to plan how to do this a few years ago.  In another dimension, China faces a more complicated situation, especially since its domestic problems have not yet been resolved, and it has no intention of going abroad to fight.  And now Qi Yiming has long been committed to turning the pLAf into a global armed force, "when it comes, it can fight, and when it fights, it can win."

    The Gulf crisis is not only a good opportunity to test the pLAR's cross-regional operations and strategic mobile force projection, but also to stabilize relations with the United States in the early post-Cold War period and continue to give the United States the illusion that China is still an ally waving the flag behind them.  At the same time, it is also an opportunity for China's forces to better penetrate into the Middle East and obtain greater energy interests and strategic interests.

    At first, there were still some voices in the country that opposed sending troops, but the power of the main war faction led by Qi Yiming was already strong enough.  The military also hopes that through such a truly large-scale actual combat, it can demonstrate the power of the pLAR to the world, and at the same time learn from experience and lessons to better carry out national defense construction.

    Among the people, rumors that China may send troops to the Persian Gulf did not attract as much opposition as in the United States. Although this war basically has nothing to do with China, people still have concerns about the People's Army.  The respect is still very high, and the reason for sending troops is to resist aggression and maintain peace. The Chinese, who are rich in the Celestial Empire complex, are quite sympathetic to such a lofty goal.  Coupled with the wave of enthusiasm for joining and loving the military that started after last year's military parade, inexplicably, people have a unique and beautiful expectation for war.

    Sometimes this kind of thing is terrible, but sometimes it is also beneficial. It all depends on how to balance and utilize it.

    Some family members of soldiers have expressed concern that their children may be sent to the battlefield thousands of miles away. However, during this period, the public media began to report extensively on how China would fight this war if it sent troops.  Many military experts have told the public that today's war is not the kind of model seen in old movies where the charge horn is blown and everyone rushes forward. The war is fought based on national strength and technology.  Based on the level of equipment and firepower of the PLAR spoon, it is estimated that the Iraqis will be defeated before they even meet them, so huge casualties are unlikely to occur.
