People will not cherish things that are easily obtained. This is a truth that has not changed since ancient times.Therefore, even if Fang Mingyuan felt that Russia's Novolipetok Steel Company should have a good future development prospect, he would not easily agree to lending money from the Second Gulf Bank.Of course, he didn't reject Petrov outright, but only agreed to think about it again.
Anyway, judging from the current situation in Russia, it will take some time for the economy to get back on the upward track. Petrov wants to obtain hundreds of millions of dollars in loans without those too harsh conditions. In a short period of time, no bank will Taking such a big risk to borrow money from the New Lipetok Steel Company.After all, how many people in this world will know that in the near future, in the world crude oil market, the price of crude oil will start its super leap that shocks the world.
And the key to start it is the US-Iraq war!
The Americans insisted on attacking Iraq, even to the point of paranoia. In order to achieve this goal, they did not hesitate to risk the disapproval of the world!Bypassing the United Nations, without the authorization of the United Nations, and under the accusations of many countries, including its important allies, even if it is a false certificate, it wants to attack Iraq. What is its purpose?
Is it to overthrow Saddam Hussein's dictatorship and bring democracy and freedom to the Iraqi people?This is absolutely nonsense!Saddam Hussein became the president of Iraq and has been in charge of Iraq for so many years. If there is no support from the United States behind him, who would believe it?
Is it for Iraq's weapons of mass destruction?after the war.After repeated investigations by United Nations personnel, not only were no weapons of mass destruction found in Iraq, but documents were found in which Saddam Hussein ordered the destruction of weapons of mass destruction.Later, it was revealed that the Iraqi insiders who had assured the United States and Britain that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq were just to be able to leave Iraq and obtain American or European nationality.As for the intelligence personnel of the United States and the United Kingdom, if they can't see the many flaws in this information in advance, it can only be said that the huge sums of money that the United States and Britain invest in intelligence agencies every year are all in vain!is it possible?
If it is for Iraq's oil, everyone thought it was so at first, after all, Iraq's oil reserves are amazing.It can be said that it is second only to Saudi Arabia, mastering such a large "oil depot" and stationing troops in Iraq, it can be said that it has stuck the necks of many countries in the world.But what is surprising is that when Iraq was rebuilt after the war, a large number of contracts fell into the hands of non-US and British oil companies, including Huaxia Oil Company.This is obviously completely inconsistent with the expected results.
Everyone has been confused for many years, and it was not until many years later that this confusion was solved.The US attacks Iraq.Not to get Iraq's oil fields, but to destroy Iraq's ability to export crude oil!
As the country with the second largest oil reserves in the world, before the outbreak of the Gulf War, Iraq relied on exporting crude oil every year.It has continuously obtained massive foreign exchange income. Before the war, Iraq and Iran were able to fight for many years, and the domestic living standard can still maintain the forefront in the Middle East.The export of crude oil can be said to have made great contributions.
After Saddam arrived, he became less and less obedient to the command of the Americans, and wanted to become the hegemon of the Middle East.Challenge the status of the United States and Saudi Arabia.
Under such circumstances, if the oil consortiums of the United States and the United Kingdom intend to raise the price of crude oil in the international market, they will naturally worry about whether the Iraqi government will come out to kick the game.Although the rise in the price of crude oil in the international market is also a good thing for Iraq, the mind of the dictator is the worst guess.Just like he brazenly decided to attack Kuwait at the beginning, he actually did this to challenge the order in the Middle East, and he didn't even bother to do any superficial work afterwards, annexing Kuwait within a few days.Moreover, during the years when Iraq was sanctioned, Saddam did not really calm down, and from time to time he would challenge the Americans on some less important things.And if Iraq, a member of OPEC, does not obey OPEC's decision on crude oil production and produces a large amount of oil, this will undoubtedly be a great obstacle to the plans of these capital consortiums!
And if it is said that Iraq is smashed and Iraq's oil export ability is destroyed, this variable will naturally disappear, and it will provide a good reason for the soaring oil price in the international market!
By manipulating the price of crude oil in the international market, British and American oil companies, including those in the Middle East, have made unprecedented profits in the following years due to the rising oil prices. At the same time, the soaring oil prices It also severely hit the economic development speed of countries such as China, Japan, and Germany.
Of course, Saddam wants to use euros instead of dollars to settle oil payments, which Americans cannot tolerate.The emergence of the euro had originally posed a serious threat to the status of the U.S. dollar. In order to attack the euro, the Americans did not hesitate to launch a war in Kosovo and the Yugoslavia, which abruptly suppressed the rising momentum of the euro at that time.If it is said that Iraq settled oil with the euro, other OPEC countries followed suit, which undoubtedly severely hit the petrodollar!
In addition, there are troubles in the United States, and Bush Jr. will also consider next year's general election, so attacking Iraq is to divert the attention of domestic voters, so attacking Iraq has become an irreversible result.Even if most countries in the world do not agree with this behavior of the Americans, Bush Jr. is determined to go all the way to the dark.
And just yesterday, the stalemate in the Iraq war has been loosened, and the US and British coalition forces have gained a clear upper hand in the battle in central Iraq.Fang Mingyuan knew that the Iraqi army, which had withstood sanctions for many years, could be said to be relying on one breath to resist the attacks of the US and British coalition forces. Once the US and British coalition forces broke the stalemate and vented their breath, the war would be out of control.
Next, the US-British coalition forces will occupy Iraq like a broken bamboo. Saddam, who called on the citizens of Baghdad to fight to the death to resist the invasion, hid himself until he was finally caught by the Americans.In a dilapidated Iraq, the ability to export crude oil has not been able to recover before the war in ten years, and the real strategic intention of the Americans has been realized.
Fang Mingyuan could imagine that the bosses of the world's major oil conglomerates were secretly clapping their hands for joy.The biggest stumbling block that prevents them from continuing to push up the price of crude oil in the international market is finally about to be overthrown. (To be continued..)
