Five million dollars is definitely not a small number! However, in the month that he was inspected here, the international oil price has risen by 20 US dollars per barrel, and the crude oil in his tanker has risen by tens of millions of dollars! However, if the transportation can't go out, it still won't work. If the oil price falls again, it will suffer a big loss. [Love ↑ go △ small ↓ say △ network WwW.AiQu]

So, at the company's behest, Captain Hilton embarked on this path.

The officialdom of the Soviets is very dark, and too many bribes are accepted. Although the general Andrei in front of him has a strong attitude of supporting reform and has beaten many corrupt officials, Hilton does not believe that this guy will not see it. On the five million dollars.

Sure enough, after taking this bank card, Andre's face became quite friendly. He looked at Hilton and said, "I already know about this. After you return to the ship, make preparations. Tonight, The inspection project will be completed.”

"Yes, thank you General Andre." Hilton nodded and walked out.

Five million dollars! Holding this bank card, Andre's face was full of smiles. Now, there is another way to make money. Wouldn't it be better if a toll station was built directly here in the Strait of Hormuz?

I didn't drive this road, and I didn't plant this tree, but if you want to cross this road, you must leave money to buy the road! However, doing this is still too ostentatious, and it is easy to cause greater public outrage, so Andre still rejected the idea.

However, now that there are so many ships, it is time to release a batch. It depends on who is filial. Of course, this matter is not a violation, just tell the old man. The money will be turned over to the national treasury, or directly used as Turkey A small vault in the Stan Military District?

Thinking of this, Andrei picked up the phone: "Pick up Moscow for me."

Saudi capital, Riyadh.

Saudi Arabia, a major country in the Middle East, is located in the Arabian Peninsula in southwestern Asia, bordering the Persian Gulf in the east and the Red Sea in the west, bordering Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Yemen and other countries.

This is a veritable "Kingdom of Oil", and its oil reserves and production ranks first in the world. At the same time, Saudi Arabia is also the country with the most say in the entire Middle East world. In front of other msl brothers, Saudi Arabia has always been a big brother. style.

The present Saudi Arabia was founded by King Abdulaziz bin Abdul Rahman Al Saud. Abdul Aziz led a team from Kuwait, the refuge of his family, to retake Riyadh from the hostile Rashid family in one fell swoop. After that, it conquered two parts of Najd and Hijaz one after another.

In 1926, Abdul Aziz became king of the territories he ruled. Saudi Arabia was then officially independent from British rule. Since the beginning of this era, Saudi Arabia has always pursued a strategy of closeness to the West, following the position of the United States on many issues.

In several Middle East wars, Saudi Arabia has provided human and financial resources, and even collectively boycotted the Western world. The entire Middle East countries seem to be united. However, in fact, the Middle East is still a mess, and its opponent Israel is getting stronger and stronger.

And now, facing the recent problems, Saudi Arabia, as a big country in the Middle East, can’t sit still. King Khalid personally presided over a major meeting on the situation in the entire Middle East. Each country sent representatives to participate in the meeting. this meeting.

"The Persian Gulf is our golden waterway, and the Strait of Hormuz is our essential outlet, but now, this outlet is blocked by the Soviets, who occupied Iran and seriously threatens our Persian Gulf The security of the littoral countries." Although King Khalid personally convened the meeting, the main speaker of the meeting was Khalid's younger brother Fahd.

This is an important meeting concerning the fate of the Gulf countries. How to face the situation that the Strait of Hormuz is blocked?

"Yes, these days, our crude oil output is almost zero. Our country cannot continue to bear such losses. We must come up with a proper plan." Kuwait Oil Minister Ali Khalifa Al-Sabah said: "We propose that the U.S. Navy can **** us."

Kuwait is the most anxious one, because their oil tankers have been detained all the time and cannot pass through the Strait of Hormuz, and Kuwait has no other way except by sea.

Kuwait also has the best relationship with the United States. After all, a lot of Kuwait's oil wealth is invested in the West, and US investment accounts for a large part. Now, when Kuwait faces practical difficulties, the first thing that comes to mind is the United States.

U.S. warships to escort? Fahd shook his head: "The current Carter administration is a soft egg. They will never conflict with the Soviet Union for us. We must at least wait for Reagan to take office and maybe be tougher. We must think of other things. Method."

Saudi Arabia has been completely disappointed with the Carter government. Such a government simply cannot undertake the obligations of a great power in the United States!

"It seems that we can only find our own way." The UAE's oil minister said: "Perhaps, we can consider building an oil pipeline through Saudi Arabia, avoiding the Persian Gulf and going directly to the Red Sea."

Saudi Arabia has a vast territory, with the Persian Gulf to the east and the Red Sea to the west. Now another option is to go to the Red Sea! There is absolutely no control of the Soviet Union.

"It will take at least one or two years to repair the oil pipeline, and our oil output cannot wait that long. If this continues, oil prices will definitely continue to rise." Ali said.

"Everyone." At this moment, a person came from outside. This person went straight into the venue and said as he walked, "I think the current situation is very good. The rise in oil prices will do us any harm? We are underground. Oil resources are limited, and giving the West cheap access to our oil resources is simply blasphemy against the true God!"

Everyone was stunned, the Iraqi oil minister is here!

Although this meeting was to discuss the situation facing the Persian Gulf, it did not take the initiative to invite the oil minister of Iraq. Everyone knows what happened. Now Iraq is simply wearing a pair of pants with the Soviet Union. All the Gulf countries are worried , Iraq is not worried, because Iraq's crude oil transport ships are unimpeded!

But now, Iraq's oil minister came uninvited, and concealed his whereabouts all the way until he entered the conference room. When he rushed in aggressively, even the security guards outside did not stop him. (To be continued.) Mobile users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
