Soviet Godfather - v5 Chapter 266

Sergey Sha did not continue to stay in Iraq. He did what he should have done and said everything that should be said. As long as Saddam is sane, I believe he will deal with Kuwait’s problems in the way Sergey Sha suggested. There are only a handful of countries in the world that dare to fall out with the United States and the Soviet Union at the same time, and Iraq is obviously not one of them. Sergei had to deal with too many things, and time was so tight, so the day after he and Saddam inspected the farm outside Baghdad, Sergei took a special plane to Iraq’s neighboring Saudi Arabia.

At this moment, the arrival of Sergei Shah has a decisive role for Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, because a few days later, the United Nations General Assembly will vote on the Kuwait crisis. Whether the Kuwaiti government-in-exile can regain the country is largely determined. Relying on this vote, if the vote is passed, the pressure on the issue of US troops will be much less in Congress, and the chance of sending troops will be greatly increased. But the Soviet Union is the five permanent members of the United Nations and has a veto power. No matter how many countries Kuwait and Shatra drew to support the Kuwaiti government in exile, as long as the Soviet Union does not nod, everything is in vain. Among the five permanent members of the United Nations, the United States, Britain, and France all support the Kuwaiti government. Most of the time, China will abstain from voting, so it is very important to get the support of the Soviet Union.

Although Sergei Shah visited Iraq first, he is still a distinguished guest who decides the fate of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Sergei Shah received more courtesy in Saudi Arabia than in Iraq. Sergey Shah still did not express any opinions in Saudi Arabia. Questions asked by reporters are also vague and ignorant. However, in private, Sergei Sha has passed his conditions to the governments of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Sergei Sha’s conditions are very demanding. He asked Saudi Arabia and Kuwait to support OPEC’s production cut by 20%. At the same time, it will provide the Soviet Union with an interest-free loan of US$100 billion.

The US$100 billion is almost one-sixth of Saudi Arabia’s foreign exchange reserves. The Soviet Union has to borrow so much money without paying interest. Saudi Arabia and Kuwait really hate their teeth. What’s more, the Soviet Union asked Saudi Arabia to exert its influence, prompting opec. Reduce production by 20%. I am afraid that most of this reduction in production will need to be borne by Saudi Arabia and Kuwait!

“This is a naked threat!” The Saudi representative complained angrily to the Kuwaiti Emir in private.

“If I knew this was the result, I would rather forgive Saddam’s debt!” Kuwaiti Emir said helplessly. Although his brother died at the gun of Iraq, these days, the Kuwaiti royal family is in the United States and the Soviet Union. The government was hitting a wall everywhere. The Americans used mercenary troops to dismiss the Kuwaiti government in exile. In addition to paying the international risk consulting company, they also paid the United States a large sum of money to purchase weapons. Together, the two sums of money have almost exceeded the foreign debt owed by Iraq. The Kuwaiti government can only consume the foreign exchange it has accumulated over the years. Although the foreign exchange reserves are still abundant, once they are exhausted, even the mercenary force of the International Risk Consulting Company will leave them.

The Saudi representative is still pinning his hopes on the Americans, but the American side has not given definitive information so far. However, the intelligence from the Saudi ambassador to the United States showed that anti-war demonstrations in the United States are intensifying. In the White House and Capitol Hill, there were protesting crowds everywhere. Although Saddam’s war lacked justice, the Americans who had been frightened by the Vietnam War wanted to experience it again.

The American media now sees recruitment advertisements of international risk consulting companies from time to time. At the same time, as the world’s largest private armed forces, the US media has also developed a keen interest in international risk consulting companies. The cnn television network, which is known for its 24-hour rolling report on international news, sent a team of reporters to follow the international risk consulting company to go deep into Kuwait to report the war at close range. The cruel battle scenes stimulated cnn ratings while also letting The American people’s war of terrorism began to rise, and the U.S. Congress, in front of the protesting masses, naturally could not easily let Bush’s decision to send troops to pass the border

All parties involved in the resolution of the Kuwait issue have their own difficulties. At this special moment, Sergey Shah took out the poison that Kuwait, who was eager to rebuild, had to swallow it in his stomach. The Kuwaiti government no longer dared to tie its own destiny to the United States. They contacted Sergei in private and stated that if the Soviet Union could allow Iraq to withdraw its troops, Kuwait agreed to forgive Iraq’s debts and provide the Soviet Union with US$20 billion. Interest-free loans.

Sergei Shah happily agreed to Kuwait’s request, and the two parties signed a non-legally binding memorandum. But Saudi Arabia still has illusions about the United States. There are US troops in Saudi Arabia. Although the torrent of iron and steel on the border in Iraq has put great pressure on Saudi Arabia, as long as the US team is still in Saudi territory, it will have a certain deterrent against Saddam.

“You may not agree to our terms, but in that case we will have to reconsider the Kuwait issue. After all, Iraq is our ally. If Iraq can really eliminate its bad neighbors and become the leader of the Arab world, it will be very useful to us in the Soviet Union. Good!” Sergey Sha didn’t even bother to conceal it, so he said the threat directly~www.mtlnovel.com~ Sergey Sha’s meaning is very clear. If Saudi Arabia is unwilling to limit oil production, then the Soviet Union will fully support it. Saddam has gained the supremacy of the Middle East. Iraq will definitely like to limit production at that time. Because of their limited production capacity, many oil fields have been blown to ruins by the Iranian Fear Army. Once the price of oil rises, Iraq can greatly ease its debt. Pressure.

Just when Sergey Sha said that unless he said something, four Tu-160 Bombers landed in Syria, another Soviet ally in the Middle East. At the same time, the Soviet Black Sea Fleet also left its home port and headed towards the Tartus naval base in Syria.

The Saudis were terrified when they heard the news. They didn’t want the war to really burn into Saudi territory. Therefore, Sergei Sha’s plan once again appeared on the table of the Saudi cabinet meeting.

After receiving the news that Saudi Arabia was willing to negotiate, Sergei made a report to the domestic Politburo by telephone. Now the three countries in the Gulf are aware of the Soviet solution. And they all expressed their willingness to adopt peaceful means to resolve the Kuwaiti issue.

Sergei Sha was happy with Saudi Arabia’s decision, but there is another hurdle behind, that is, how the Soviet Union handled the Kuwait issue ingeniously at the United Nations. ()
