But now, these are secondary, the most important is that the United States no longer has to worry about energy security! The oil output of the United States is already 7 million barrels per day, and after a few years, the output of shale oil may also reach the scale of 7 million barrels. At that time, the United States will also be a proper oil exporter. ! And the US economy will also take off a new take-off!
The smile finally returned to everyone's faces, and now, in addition to their excitement, they returned to the original question, what should the US troops in Iraq do?
If the United States could launch the shale oil revolution a few months earlier, the United States would not have to fight this battle at all! The United States can already control its own energy lifeline, and even export oil. No matter how chaotic the Middle East is, it has nothing to do with the United States! This feeling is really comfortable!
In later generations, the United States also has such a mentality. In the past, it has always supported Saudi Arabia, and the two sides were so good that they could wear a pair of pants. What happened later? They simply competed with each other on oil, but unfortunately it was still the American oil tycoon who was injured in the end. In terms of production cost, the United States will never be able to compare with Saudi Arabia. Just dig a hole and spray oil on it.
"This is a wrong war, and we should not continue on the wrong path." At this moment, Reagan had spoken: "We have invested hundreds of billions of dollars in military spending for this war. Hundreds of thousands of troops, and the current result, let us realize that this war should not be launched, now, we must stop, otherwise, it will become the same quagmire as the Vietnam War.”
In fact, it's not as good as the Vietnam War! At least it was a quagmire, and now what? The United States didn't even step into the quagmire, they have already surrendered!
"It seems that it is necessary for us to agree to the plan proposed by the Soviet Union to end the war as soon as possible and bring our children back," Bush said.
It is customary in the army that when an officer calls his subordinates, he will call them my children, but now, this sentence comes out of Bush's mouth, but it is strange.
Weinberg did not speak. It is indeed a shame for the army to come back like this. However, this **** war is finally over!
In the clear blue sky, there were white clouds floating, and a Boeing 747 passenger plane slowly passed through the clouds and landed on the runway of the airport.
The gangway car drove over, the cabins opened, and inside, a famous soldier in military uniform came out.
Little William walked behind the crowd, and his mood was extremely low. As the top commander of the US military forces stationed in the Middle East, he also entered Iraq with the third batch of US troops, and commanded the frontline operations. In the end, the Iraqi army was surrendered.
For Little William, this was a stain that he could not get rid of in his life. In the prisoner of war camp, he didn't know how to face his relatives and the United States.
He didn't wear any epaulets, and he was determined to leave the army and never fight with a gun in his life.
There was a lively scene everywhere in the airport. After getting the news, the relatives of many soldiers came. When they learned that their relatives had become prisoners in Iraq, they were extremely anxious. Now, the war is over, They can finally go home!
The scene of meeting relatives is full of warmth.
Following the flow of people and getting off the plane, William's mood was still very low. He left the lively crowd and walked quietly towards the terminal building by himself.
Suddenly, his footsteps stopped, just in front of him, a dozen meters away, several people were waiting.
Laura, her own wife, was wearing a plaid skirt, her long hair fluttered in the wind, and her eyes were full of tenderness. At the same time, one of her hands was holding a little girl over three years old. The little girl looked at Little William timidly, as if she had long forgotten her father's appearance.
Beside Laura, the sixteen-year-old eldest son Tom, and the nine-year-old daughter Lucy, ran up quickly, especially Lucy, who stretched out her hands and put her arms around William's neck. He opened his mouth and kissed William on the cheek.
Tom also threw himself to William's side and put his arms around him: "Dad, it's great that you're back. We miss you very much."
The voice of the words was not very loud, but when Little William heard it, he felt that his eyes were already wet. At this moment, he is no longer a general or a commander, he is just a very ordinary person with his own family.
"Crack." Beside him, a reporter took this touching picture, and the next day, this picture became the headline of the newspaper and spread all over the world.
Going home, nothing is more important than family love. War is cruel and ruthless. Let the **** war go away!
At the end of 1981, the war in the Middle East, which had been fought for several months, involved more than a dozen countries before and after, and it seemed that it was about to evolve into a world war, but it suddenly stopped.
The U.S. troops were "gifted" out of Iraq from Iraq, which also means that the U.S. completely abandoned the strategic location in the Middle East. This hard-won peace was finally achieved under the repeated mediation of the Soviet Union. Agreement, otherwise, American prisoners of war do not know how long they will stay in Iraq!
For the United States, this is a complete failure However, for the American people, they are more looking forward to the safe return of their loved ones, and they are also thanking God that the third world The war did not break out!
After the United States left, the Middle East as a whole has temporarily settled down, but there are still many crises brewing. For example, Saudi Arabia has been split into two parts. The US military has left Sishat and Mecca. Then, will the Saudi government in Riyadh continue to wage war to unify Saudi Arabia?
Where should other small pro-US countries in the Middle East, such as Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, go from here? And the most troublesome Turkey, the Kurds in the east have been established! Syria has also seized a large amount of territory, and with the Cyprus issue, Turkey is also precarious!
And Israel, all returned to the mainland, but in this war, Israel used nuclear bombs, Israel's nuclear problem, will also be a serious problem! Now, Israel is still denying it to the United Nations and refusing to accept verification.
1981, a turbulent year, has finally passed in the final calm, and the pattern of the world is constantly changing. The tentacles of the Red Empire finally reached the far-flung Middle East and achieved a historic breakthrough!
At the end of the year, Andrei returned to Moscow with his wife.
