November 29, 1990.

UN Security Council Resolution 678 sets the deadline for Iraq's withdrawal from Kuwait to be January 15, 1991, and authorizes the "implementation of Resolution 660 by all necessary means" - A diplomatic language that authorizes the use of force.

January 9, 1991.

U.S. Secretary of State Baker and Iraqi Foreign Minister Aziz meet in Geneva for the last time before the war.

During the meeting, Baker asked Aziz to forward a letter from Bush Sr. to Saddam.

actually--

It is not so much a letter as a threat - if Iraq does not pull out Kuwait to stop confrontation with other Arab countries as the United States wants, the United States will return Iraq to its pre-industrial state!

Saddam did not accept the threat of Bush Sr. It can also be said that Saddam still insisted that this was just a game, a game of who can persevere to the end and who wins.

Therefore, the talks naturally failed to achieve any results.

January 12, 1991.

The U.S. Congress authorized the military to expel Iraq from Kuwait, and the rest of the coalition also authorized their forces shortly thereafter.

The Gulf War is imminent!

From the beginning of 1986 until some time ago, the price of international crude oil has been basically stable below US$20 per barrel.

But in September of this year, shortly after the Iraqi army occupied Kuwait, the price of international crude oil exceeded US$40 per barrel in just a few days.

In the process, Xu Cun, who had foresighted, actually had more than 15 billion US dollars in income.

but--

This more than 15 billion US dollars is not a lot to anyone except Xu Cun, but to Xu Cun, it is just an appetizer that can be tongue-in-cheek-the Iraqi army occupied Kuwait too quickly, There is simply no chance for the international crude oil futures market, which has been stable for many years, to expand, and Xu Cun naturally has no chance to make a lot of money.

After the oil price skyrocketed, speculators from all over the world flooded into the international crude oil futures market, causing the international crude oil futures market to expand a dozen times at once. Xu Cun also rushed to the international crude oil futures market again to eat this meal Full Manchu.

Continue to soar?

Or suddenly crash?

Bet right, go to heaven!

Bet wrong and go to hell!

So is Xu Cun.

This time is different from the past.

In the past, no matter how big the game was, Xu Cun was only a participant.

This time, Xu Cun is a behind-the-scenes bookmaker-a behind-the-scenes bookmaker who collects all the betting prices and will continue to skyrocket the gamblers' bets!

In this game, Xu Cun spent more than 70 billion US dollars just for the funds. If he loses, although Xu Cun cannot be beaten back to the prototype, it is inevitable that his vitality will be severely damaged.

but--

On the contrary, it is even more exciting - if he wins, then Xu Cun's Xu family is the world's richest family, the world's richest consortium, and even the Rothschild family and the top ten American consortiums do not have his Xu family. Money, then using "rich to rival the country" to describe the Xu family is slightly insufficient!

actually--

By January 12, 1991, when the US Congress authorized the military to expel Iraq from Kuwait, Xu Cun had already won.

Because war is inevitable.

Moreover, international oil prices have begun to fall, and the rate of decline is still very fast.

But--

There are still a lot of gamblers who have lost red eyes or can be said to be worthless - they pray, and miracles will happen, this battle will not start, Iraq will occupy Kuwait, oil prices will rise... at least Level up to the price they bought in, so they can get out even if it's a small defeat!

pity--

How can there be so many miracles in this world?

In the Arab-Israeli conflict over the past four decades, the United States has always sided with Israel, and has been hated by many Arab countries.

Today, because of the relationship between oil and natural gas, Arab countries are becoming more and more important in the world.

Naturally, the United States wanted this opportunity to clear up its grievances with other countries in the Arab world, and then return to the Arab world to gain huge benefits.

so--

January 16, 1991, 10:30 am EST.

President Bush Sr. signed a national security directive to U.S. Central Headquarters Commander Schwarzkopf, ordering the U.S. military to go to war in Iraq.

January 17, 1991.

The US-led multinational force bombed Baghdad and the Gulf War broke out.

January 17, 1991, at 2:00 a.m. local time.

When Iraq refused to implement Security Council Resolution 678, the air force of the multinational force launched an air strike on Iraq and launched the "Desert Storm" operation. The first three, which the U.S. military calls air battles. According to the plan, the three stages will start at the same time and advance in unison to achieve the set goals one by one. The usual air attack mode is that electronic warfare aircraft such as EF-111, EA-6B and EC-130H will open up the path first, and the F-117, F-117A, F-111DAEAF, A-6, A-10, AV-8B, F-15E, B-52 and other types of aircraft attack the designated targets, F-14, F-15C, F-16 and F/A-18 and other aircraft are responsible for cover tasks.

On this day, the international oil price plummeted sharply, and fell back to $20 per barrel in just one day.

So far, Xu Cun's Xu family has become the world's richest family and the world's richest consortium!

...

Neverland.

Theron drove her mini Beetle to the parking lot of the manor.

After parking the car, Theron walked to the main building of the manor.

On the way, all the maids and bodyguards Theron met took the initiative to say hello to Theron—obviously, even if Theron was not the owner of the manor, he was a frequent visitor to the manor.

Upon entering the living room of the main building ~lightnovelpub.net~ Theron saw Beckinsale sitting cross-legged on the sofa watching the bombing of Baghdad live on DreamWorks Television.

actually--

Beckinsale doesn't want to watch DreamWorks TV right now. To be precise, Beckinsale doesn't dare to touch anything related to Xu Cun. Just a few hours ago, Xu Cun took advantage of the U.S. military to start airstrikes in Iraq. , hugged her, and gave her a long kiss! That feeling, until now, she couldn't help but recall it! What's even more terrifying is that she didn't push Xu Cun away at that time, even if Xu Cun stuck his tongue into her mouth! She was afraid, she was afraid that she would lose to Bellucci! Therefore, she did not dare to touch anything related to Xu Cun!

But it's really not good not to touch things related to Xu Cun. Let's not say that she is now in Xu Cun's home, Neverland, and even the report on the US air raid on Iraq that she wants to see can only be reported by DreamWorks TV. ——When the U.S. military began to bomb Baghdad, the international telecommunication lines of the three major news networks were all cut off. Iraq ordered all foreign journalists in Baghdad to leave the country, while the reporters from the exclusive DreamWorks TV network could stay to report on the Gulf War, the bombing of Baghdad by multinational forces, etc. The plethora of live coverage has become a household scoop, and even President Bush Sr. is watching the DreamWorks TV network.

Theron didn't notice Beckinsale's mood at this time, but asked himself: "Where is Brother Cun, I have something to look for him?"

Beckinsale continued to stare at the TV and said, "Have a party in the indoor pool."

Hearing this, Theron was going to go to the indoor swimming pool to find Xu Cun.

But Theron just turned around when Beckinsale's voice sounded from behind Theron, "If I were you, I would just go to him now, he is celebrating with all his women about becoming the first family, that scene... ...Tsk tsk, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it, and then join in."
