v2 Chapter 1432: Currency war

From the perspective of Israel’s national security, the direction of Egypt is not an imminent threat. The country that can really make Israel sleepless is Syria. Although Jordan is closer, Jordan’s strength is a bit embarrassing. The military powers in the Arab world are Egypt, Syria, In Iraq, the country on the Persian Gulf side is okay with a piece of cloth on its head, but it is much worse in combat.

And Jordan, the country that the UK used to focus on, is neither a military power nor a rich country. Its role is equivalent to Oman, another country that the UK maintains a good relationship with.

The military construction of Syria depends on the full support of the Soviet Union. It is not much worse militarily than Egypt supported by the United Kingdom. The two Arab countries currently supported by the Soviet Union in the Middle East are typical third-world military powers during the Cold War. This is also a characteristic of the Soviet Union. .

At the current time, it is relatively close to the fourth Middle East war in history. The process of the fourth Middle East war was the Arab coalition forces, mainly Egypt and Syria won first and then lost.

However, Israel in the Fourth Middle East War realized for the first time that Israel could not fight a war of attrition. After the war ended, Israel was extremely shocked by the heavy casualties, and changed its previous mentality of underestimating the enemy.

It was also after this Middle East war that Israel returned most of the land in the third Middle East war, and reconciled with Egypt to deal specifically with Syria.

But this world is obviously different. The Middle East war broke out only once when Israel was founded. Alan Wilson even thought that Israel would never break out of war with neighboring countries.

But this time the U.S. military aid forced him to assess the possibility of war again. The U.S. and the Vietnam War spent hundreds of billions more. Resources that cannot be avoided, oil is obviously the best choice to digest the excess currency.

Moreover, the price of oil is indeed low compared to its importance, and there is room for it to rise. Although it is a bit of a conspiracy theory to think so, it is also reasonable.

It is not surprising that Israel is forced to be the top bird. The United States protects Israel, and Israel should not hesitate to stand up to the thunderbolt.

"I just want to see how far Washington can arm Israel." Alan Wilson especially wanted to meet his brother at this time. Once a fight broke out, Egypt, Jordan, and Syria would definitely bear the brunt. Everything else is easy to say. The Suez Canal will definitely Threatened, the Suez Canal is affected, and the whole of Europe, including the United Kingdom, will be finished.

There must be a role of the Soviet Union in the start of the Middle East war, because once Syria rushes to the Golan Heights, Israel will be finished, and Britain, as the supporter behind Jordan and Egypt, cannot completely stay out of the matter.

Beginning with Farouk I, the United Kingdom has helped Egypt to become the leader of the Arab world for so many years. This ally was mainly defeated by Israel, and the United Kingdom will also lose face.

This matter cannot be discussed with the richest woman, because Pamela Mountbatten really has Jewish ancestry, even according to the matrilineal definition of Israel, she is Jewish. Although Pamela Mountbatten doesn't think so, but to calculate Israel, she still has to take care of her perception.

It is not surprising that Pamela Mountbatten has no feelings for Israel. Bloodline is one aspect, but it also depends on self-knowledge. Poland is still a Slav, so why not compare with Russia? The French also have a large proportion of Germanic genes, but this does not prevent the French from choosing Latin culture to shape the history of their country.

"Take it as a farewell before returning to China!" Alexeyev rushed to the meeting place with a lot of thoughts. His mood was very complicated at this time. Not only is it bad for him, but also bad for the other party.

Hao Daer, who is said by the supreme authority, is ready to return to China. On the one hand, his gilding time is over, and on the other hand, he wants to return to China to find a marriage candidate to solve the marriage problem. This is the same in all countries, and the stability of marriage is also the function of expressing loyalty to the organization.

So Alan Wilson is the most loyal person to the British Empire. His wife is the wealthiest woman in Britain. How could such a marriage betray the country.

Pushing the door open, Alekseev sat down directly, and before the old father could speak, "Sir, my mother will be very happy to see you again before I return home."

"Going back to China? What are you going back to do?" Alan Wilson, who was about to discuss key skills with Hao Daer, was taken aback for a moment, and then asked directly when he became interested.

"Promotion, and we need to solve the marriage problem." Alekseev did not hide it. Although for others, going online is a bit of a leak, but the son of the tsar obviously has his own standards, and it is fine if others ask After all, the person in front of me is not ordinary.

"Oh, that's really good news. Ekaterina should be very happy." Alan Wilson sincerely expressed his congratulations. He must have been a lieutenant colonel before. Why can't the military rank be raised to a higher level after being promoted?

It is possible to become a colonel in his twenties, which should be rare among normal people except for monsters like Semichasny.

Hao Daer's official career is going smoothly, and Alan Wilson, a senior bureaucrat, is of course happy. Although he is in an enemy country, he is still his son. Besides, it was the Soviet Union, one of the world's top two powers.

After entering the 1970s, the Soviet Union has long been the real world hegemon. Since the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Soviet Union has been recognized by the United States. If the United States insists on letting the price of oil rise to digest the excess dollars, the Soviet Union will also be the beneficiary. .

There is no need to doubt the national power of the Soviet Union, although many indicators are inconsistent. For example, according to the standard of the United States in the 21st century, which is not supported by any data, the national power of the Soviet Union is less than one-third of that of the United States. This is obviously nonsense.

With less than one-third of the national power of the United States, can the United States be in a mess in the 1970s and 1980s? Either the data is wrong, or America's corruption has eaten up two-thirds of its power.

It is generally believed that the national power of the Soviet Union is 70% of that of the United States, and with its natural land power and hegemony over the country, its radiation power can compete with that of the United States. But after the oil crisis, the fiscal revenue of the Soviet Union once reached 90% of that of the United States. If it is calculated according to fiscal revenue, the national strength of the Soviet Union will be calculated even higher.

Alan Wilson still believes in the 70% theory, and 90% of the fiscal revenue must be related to the rise in oil revenue after the oil crisis, which belongs to external forces rather than the Soviet Union's own capabilities.

Alexeyev watched, the brows of the spokesperson of the British bureaucracy in front of him stretched, something called pride appeared on his face, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said helplessly, "What is the Sir looking for me? With you and me In terms of our status, we shouldn’t actually meet.”

"I didn't publicize that you are the KGB." Alan Wilson babbled, wanting to be serious, but the pride on his face still lingered.

This makes anti-revolutionary workers who are determined to sniff out and eradicate traitors feel like sitting on pins and needles. Could it be that the old father is so bored that he wants to talk to him about family matters?

Just as he was about to say something, Alan Wilson asked a question, "Which side would the Soviet Union support if another Middle East war broke out?"

"My guess is to support Arab countries. What does Israel have? It has a lot of influence in the financial industry, but the Soviet system does not value these things."

"Eh? Well, almost." Alekseyev grumbled for a long time, but still nodded, "Even if normal countries don't support Arab countries, they won't stand on the opposite side of the Arab world, right?"

Alan Wilson nodded. In fact, it was probably the fourth Middle East war in the same period of time. There is really no country that supports Israel, except the United States. European countries, including Britain and France, which had already lost their colonies, also received Israel's request for help when they were at a disadvantage, but they all refused without exception.

Therefore, the reason for the outbreak of the oil crisis is very unreasonable. European countries are clearly neutral ~lightnovelpub.net~ but they have been called by Saudi Arabia for an oil embargo and have become countries with the same status as the United States.

This is outrageous. It is obvious that Europe did not express its position on Israel's request for help. How could it be hit by the oil stick? Although Europe and the United States have been embargoed, the United States, which obviously has no shortage of important resources in its own country, has been less affected than Europe, which has nothing. European countries that cannot be self-sufficient in energy are obviously not as resistant as the United States.

Because Europe cannot be self-sufficient in energy, it has been pinched by the United States more than once. Decades later, it will support Ukraine with tears and stab itself to scare Russia.

"When a war breaks out, who do you think will win, Israel or the Arab countries? If the Soviet Union is on the side of the Arabs, how can they guarantee the final victory? Have you thought about this question?" Alan Wilson asked again, "Do you think tanks are against tanks, and airplanes are against each other? Airplanes, can Arab countries beat Israel?"

"It shouldn't be a big problem." There have not been several Middle East wars in this world, and Alexeyev didn't know that the Arab countries had refreshed the lower limit.

"If only I were as optimistic as you. Once a war breaks out in the Middle East, Britain can't afford to lose, because Britain's influence is concentrated in the Arab world, not in Israel. Israel is a pro-American country. There are hundreds of Jews in the United States." Ten thousand." Allen Wilson sighed, and then told Hao Daer that the United States just gave Israel four fighter squadrons, and the United States has 4 fighter jets in active service.

"Does this prove that Israel will go to war?" Alekseev smiled wryly in his heart. He is engaged in intelligence, and it is too hasty to send some fighter jets to the military.

"I don't blame you for your ignorance of currency issues. After all, this is the shortcoming of the Soviet Union." Alan Wilson said in an old father's tone, "Capitalism also has something worth learning."
