   Chapter 1045 Throwing a Melon

   After chatting with Prince Charles for a while, Yang Chen drove him away unceremoniously. The relationship between the two is now extraordinary, and they are very casual when speaking in private.

   Every time Yang Chen goes to England, he will get together with Prince Charles, and over time, the two of them can be considered to be inseparable.

   Therefore, even though he still wanted to get together here, he wanted to find out what Yang Chen wanted to talk to Prince Hasal, but if Yang Chen didn't give him this chance, he had no choice but to pat his **** and leave.

   After Prince Charles left, Prince Hassar looked at Boss Yang curiously. He didn't know if Yang Chen had anything to talk to him about and he needed to avoid Prince Charles.

  The matter between the two was not hidden, it was easy to investigate, and there seemed to be no need to avoid anyone.

   Prince Hasar took the initiative to ask: "Yang, what's the matter with you?"

   Yang Chen said, "Have you found someone to take over the last time I asked you for help?"

When Prince    heard this, he was very puzzled: "Yang, I don't understand, now that the Iran-Iraq war is over, why do you want to give up your fat?"

  Yang Chen said impatiently: "Don't ask so much, just say have you found someone to take over?"

   Prince Hasar saw this and smiled bitterly: "I have already found the person who took over, but if you give me a little more time, I will mention the price again, and we will make a little more money."

  Yang Chen frowned and said, "How long do you have to wait?"

Prince Hassar said with three fingers: "Three months, at most three months, I have got inside information, Iran and Iraq will formally sign a truce in August, and then change hands, we can make a lot more money money."

   Hearing the three-month deadline, Yang Chen didn't say anything, he quietly sat on the sofa and meditated.

The Iran-Iraq war started in 1980 and ended in 1988, which lasted for eight years. Since Iraq and Iran each accepted the UN ceasefire resolution last year, foreign arms sales orders in the two countries have continued to decline. .

   This year, Yang Chen's British Aerospace Company has been down for a few months, and has not received a single penny of orders.

   Previously, his plan was to only sell weapons to Iran, although Iraq had a political madman from Saddam, and he was really unsure about doing business with this bigwig.

   However, the latter two countries are really fighting fiercely. In order to accumulate funds as soon as possible and complete the transformation of the British Aerospace Corporation, Yang Chen has no worries, and starts the business of Saddam.

  The two countries have been fighting for so many years, and they started to owe debts when they finally ran out of money. Now Iraq owes the British Aerospace Corporation more than 3 billion in arrears. As a reminder, it is not Hong Kong dollars, but British pounds.

  Billions of arrears, of course, cannot be empty-handed.

   Regarding the arrears, the Iraqi side used domestic oil resources as collateral, and foreign arms dealers were also very sold on this.

   However, as a later generation, Yang Chen is very clear that all mortgages are empty, because next time the Saddam mother and brother do not know what is wrong, and they insist on annexing Kuwait.

   Although Kuwait is small, it is one of the few rich countries in the world. Yang Chen's first pot of gold was earned in Kuwait.

  Because the country is small and there is too much money to invest domestically, Kuwait will use all the money earned from oil in foreign investment.

   Kuwait's foreign assets during this period have exceeded 100 billion US dollars, and the funds are mainly concentrated in important Western industries. If Kuwait is occupied by Iraq, Iraq needs to restore domestic economic construction now, and these capital will be directly siphoned out by Iraq.

   This is something that many Western countries do not want to see.

   Of course, these are not the point.

   The point is still on the oil.

  The reason why the Gulf region affects the nerves of the United States and many other countries is mainly due to the extremely rich oil and natural gas resources in the region.

  The proven oil reserves in the Gulf region now amount to 600 billion barrels, accounting for more than half of the world's proven oil reserves, and 20 trillion cubic meters of natural gas, accounting for more than 10% of the world's total natural gas resources.

   The top five oil producing countries in the Middle East (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Iran and the United Arab Emirates) are all in the Gulf region.

   Eleven of the world's 20 super-large oil fields are located in the Gulf region. The oil produced in the Gulf region is mainly for export, and a considerable part of the oil imported from the United States, Western Europe and Japan comes from the Gulf region.

  Oil is the "blood" of today's world economic development, and it is also the driving force of modern military. If Iraq annexes Kuwait and then occupies Saudi Arabia, it can control more than half of the world's oil resources.

   In this way, it is tantamount to blocking the throats of the major Western industrial countries. At that time, Iraq can use the oil weapons in his hands to easily manipulate the economic development of the Western industrial countries, and even go so far as to point fingers at Western countries.

   This is absolutely intolerable to the United States and some other major western industrialized countries. How can our own country be allowed to be strangled?

   is absolutely not allowed, especially since this country used to be the object of being arbitrarily manipulated by yourself and others. Slaves who want to turn over to be masters don’t even think about it, and they don’t even have the qualifications to sit on an equal footing.

   Facts have proved that after the Iran-Iraq war, Iraq, relying on the introduction of a large number of new weapons from the West, believes that it has the bargaining chip and confidence to negotiate with Western countries led by the United States.

   But he didn't want to. As soon as he swallowed Kuwait, he directly let Laomei and other western countries fry it, and planned to use it to kill chickens and monkeys.

   The process of killing chickens and warning monkeys is clearly written in history. An army that has gone through eight years of war and is equipped with a large number of advanced weapons was stunned by a group of Western countries led by the old and the United States. It was directly blown back to the Iron Age.

   It was horrible to see, even Yang Chen, who knew the history, couldn't believe it. An army of millions who had experienced countless blood and fire, and had rich battlefield experience, was finally blown up by three strikes and five divisions.

  During the war, the US military put a large number of high-tech weapons into actual combat. At the beginning, it was bombed, which immediately stunned Iraq, and also woke up many countries in the world.

   Of course, Yang Chen doesn't want to care about these, he just wants to get the money back, so as to further promote the upgrade and transformation of British Aerospace.
