"General, your navy's combat effectiveness is too strong. The US dual aircraft carrier battle group was completely destroyed by your side within a few hours, and your two aircraft carriers are still intact. Can you give us Can you tell us about your experience?" the French navy commander asked.

Hearing his question, all the people pricked up their ears. Indeed, this was also their concern.There are many versions of legends from the outside world, but it is not as convincing as this person who has experienced it himself.

Hearing this, Karim's eyes showed a strange light, and he said: "Blood and dedication, loyalty to our great motherland, defying power, and defending our own interests as Arabs, this makes us The greatest courage broke out. Our Iraqi navy is still weak, but when we face a war, we will never be afraid. We dare to face the most powerful enemy in the world and fight for our rights. At the same time, we We also hope for peace, because we are not afraid of war, but we still love peace. We do not want a strong force to be placed on top of us Arabs, we are capable of handling our own affairs, and at the same time, we do not Interfering in the internal affairs of other countries, peaceful coexistence is our goal."

The answer was irrelevant, but Karim's words still aroused a burst of applause. This is a kind of respect for defeating a powerful enemy. From then on, the Iraqi Navy will be respected by the world.

"General, in this war, you used weapons including anti-ship missiles and missiles. In the war, the weapons that your side constantly emerges are the most important, right?" a German asked.

"Weapons cannot stay advanced forever, but people are the most important thing," Karim said.

Chapter 54 The Petrodollar System Becomes History Episode [-] First

200 Law Street, Brussels, Belgium.

A cross-shaped building, magnificent, everyone who travels here must take a group photo here. This is the most symbolic building in Brussels, the capital of Belgium, and the headquarters of the European Union. When it is completed, it has already It was the predecessor of the European Union at that time, which was the seat of the European Community.

Today, the atmosphere here is grand, and the president of the European Union is even more radiant, welcoming those who wear Arab robes into the venue. ..

In the scene, flashes were constantly flashing.

The Saudi oil minister and other high-ranking officials walked into the venue, as well as important figures from other OPEC member states, are today's stars.

They will sign an important agreement here. From now on, the euro, as an official currency, will be used for oil settlement.

Although the negotiation was good, it was also very difficult.The European Union knows that using euros to settle oil will have an effect on their economy, but OPEC members have also put forward additional political conditions.

OPEC countries must admit the current situation, for example, Israel has completely withdrawn from the stage of history, this country no longer exists, and all of it is the land of Palestine.At the same time, later, when Iraq tested nuclear weapons, they added that they had to abstain from voting at the United Nations and could not impose sanctions on Iraq. ..

These conditions are simply threatening European countries to change their defense policies.

So the offer to settle oil in euros was very tempting, but not enough to impress them.Until Iraq defeated the US aircraft carrier formation at sea, until Iraq tested nuclear weapons.All this became clear.

Listed in color.The country has been wiped out, and the Jews living there have been disarmed. Now, they have no use value.

The Jews have money, but, under the current circumstances, they want to organize another army and want to confront the aggressive Arab army.It is simply impossible.

Only the United States can support the Jews, and the United States has indeed done so.

The Americans have powerful armed forces and a huge nuclear arsenal. When Iraq is so arrogant, the Americans will of course stretch out their hands and teach the Iraqis a lesson.

However, in the end, it was the Americans who were taught a lesson.

world trends.It is now very obvious that the United States, which is about to decline, has left the Middle East.Without the petrodollar, the Americans have overdrawn their national power for so many years and forced the economies of other countries to maintain their luxury life.It's finally coming to an end.

Especially, the last resort of the Americans.A nuclear strike is also impossible.

in this case.The EU countries finally reached a consensus: for the sake of Europe's own economic development, this agreement was launched with OPEC.

EU countries acquiesced to the current world order, including the areas controlled by the State of Palestine. In the United Nations, they abstained from voting on the sanctions against Iraq proposed by the United States.

Only abstention is enough, because the United States still cannot carry out just sanctions if there are not enough votes.

The United States also exerted a lot of pressure on European countries, but at this time, the pressure of the United States is no longer as important as it used to be.

At the beginning, when the United States wanted the mark to appreciate, Germany had to obediently obey. Now, the influence of the United States is no longer that great.

Even an Iraq can beat the U.S. Navy to its teeth. Americans, do you think you are still that powerful empire?

For the sake of Europe's own development, it's time for them to stand up straight.

"Europe is an ancient economy. Now, we are very pleased to see that Europe is gradually moving towards a unified Europe. The connection between our Arab world and Europe is getting closer, and Europe has A unified currency, in this case, we use the US dollar as a settlement, is outdated, so using the euro to settle the currency is a move by our OPEC organization to better contribute to the economies of both parties. Between us continue to deepen bilateral relations, promote the continued economic development and the peaceful development of the entire world." Saudi Oil Minister delivered a passionate speech.

Amidst the flashes of countless cameras, the two sides signed a document.

This document represents the arrival of a new era.

Washington.

"This time, is the military well-prepared when it takes military action? The fiasco of our military has caused tens of billions of dollars in losses, and we are on the old path of the Vietnam War." A congressman asked.

"Under the circumstances at the time, we had to send troops quickly. Our garrison in Israel had been surrounded by Arabs. We wanted to rescue them," Rumsfeld said.

It is not only the president who is questioned by Congress, but also important figures in the military. Therefore, in this war, they have seen that the United States has failed militarily, economically, and politically.

"In other words, we are not ready?"

"Our military is ready at any time. In order to protect our interests in the world, they can go into battle at any time."

"So, in the face of this string of failures, what does the military want to say? Could it be that we are not responsible because Iraq is too strong?"

"No, this string of defeats was a test for us, a test for us, the United States of America, and I think we were doing exactly the right thing under the circumstances. Of course, the responsibility for losing the war requires Someone has to take it, and I am asking to resign as Secretary of Defense."

"I don't think this has anything to do with the Minister of Defense. What matters now is not who is to be held accountable, but how to change the current situation. For example, what kind of method will continue to be used to completely attack the Arabs." Another congressman said .

The U.S. Congress is also divided into two groups. One part thinks that the zhèngfǔ’s response is unfavorable this time and should be accounted for, while the other part thinks that the most important thing is to attack the Arabs. Of course, among these people, Jews account for the majority .

The Jews are full of hatred. When their own country is gone, their hope is also gone.If no Americans show up, they will be forced to wander around the world again.

For them, the United States must take action, even if it uses nuclear bombs to completely kill all the Arabs, it is not an exaggeration.

As for a possible nuclear counterattack by Iraq, they don't care at all.

Israel is all subjugated, so what are they afraid of.

"What plans does the military have going forward, like, are we going to use our nuclear weapons?" asked another lawmaker.

"We are now faced with a difficult choice, because Iraq also has nuclear weapons." Rumsfeld said: "If we were to use our nuclear weapons, then we would also be hit."

"That is to say, our military has failed utterly, a large army that wasted our taxpayers' money to maintain, utterly failed?" the Jewish congressman asked.

"It's not that we've failed, it's just that our strength is getting out there," Rumsfeld said.

Immediately, the MPs let out a sigh.

"Leaving the oil, our dollars, our economic problems, how to solve it, just a few hours ago, Europe has signed an agreement with the Arabs, they buy oil, they will directly use euros, and the Arabs buy in Europe Things will also be directly used in the euro, or the U.S. dollar, and our American economy will be severely impacted." Another congressman asked, and at this time, President Bush was the one taking the question.

With a serious face, Bush said: "The petrodollar system is an important pillar of our economy. We will never tolerate this kind of behavior by Arab countries. We have decided to completely freeze the funds of Arabs in our United States and put them in the United States." real estate, nationalized, and we will put pressure on the nations of Europe to cancel this venture."

Bush also knows that this issue is even more important. That's how Bush Sr. came down.

"In this way, can we offset our losses? Now, our national debt has been sold in the foreign exchange market, our economy is about to experience a sharp decline, and our US dollars have been rejected by some countries. How can we respond in a more effective way?"

This... Bush is actually not very good at economic issues. He glanced at the Minister of Finance, who was lowering his head, and he knew that, I am afraid, there is no solution to this.
