Chapter 941: Oil pipelines stuck around the world (third update, please subscribe)

“Da, da…”

With the sound of the bright Chinese typewriter, the intelligence analyst typed The report was presented on the typewriter. When I finished typing the report, dawn had just arrived in Chang'an.

The intelligence analyst, who had been busy all night, stretched the tight muscles in his shoulders, lit a filtered Bactrian cigarette, and then read the last few paragraphs.

“...the "Free Officers Movement" planned to assassinate the King of Saudi Arabia, Crown Prince Faisal and many cabinet members, trying to establish a government similar to the one under Nasser in Egypt... Although the operation failed, based on this point, We have every reason to believe that this did not extinguish anti-government activities in the military, but instead exposed its internal instability. Finally, we can draw the following conclusion: Internal forces represented by the "Free Officers Organization" will contribute to The situation in the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia, has changed.”

The analyst signed and dated the document at the end: December 23, 1955. He then rang the bell and summoned a courier, who immediately delivered the intelligence briefing to the residence office.

Every day, the Secret Intelligence Service will send an intelligence briefing to the official residence office, and Li Yian's work every day starts by reading the briefing.

As usual, Li Yi quietly looked through the briefing and occasionally marked something on the briefing, such as now.

"Free Officers Organization..."

Li Yi'an circled these words in the briefing. In the next ten years, the Free Officers Organization and the Baath Party will have a great influence on change the Middle East.

Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Libya... one after another, the royal governments were overthrown and coup officers established republics.

However, amidst this tide, the Saudi royal family still exists tenaciously. Even until the 21st century, it is still known for its conservatism. Of course, for more people, they only know Saudi Arabia Just a rich country.

"Saudi Arabia should not be affected by this wave."

Carefully examined every word in the intelligence, circled a few key points, and continued reading the briefing.

In the afternoon, the Secret Intelligence Service will provide more detailed information based on what he has circled. After all, this is only limited to a "briefing".

But at the end, Li Yian still turned to the previous page and continued to look at the Saudi briefing.

"Free Officers Movement."

"Opposition."

"Overthrow the King's Rule..."

Words like this were used one by one. Li Yian wrote it on the paper, and then he looked at these words and thought.

"What if they overthrow the king's rule?"

Putting his hand on his chin, Li Yian considered this possibility in his mind.

In another world, the core reason why the United States is able to control the world's oil resources is Saudi Arabia - the United States provides security protection to Saudi Arabia, and Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil producer, supports oil The hegemony of the petrodollar has been consolidated by settling in US dollars.

“If the situation in Saudi Arabia changes, will it have an impact on the petrodollar?”

The answer is yes.

According to the normal rhythm, countries after the Free Officers Organization seizes power will inevitably turn against the United States.

“In other words, Saudi Arabia is likely to turn to the Soviet Union by then?”

“Then this will mean that the Soviet Union has blocked the world’s oil pipeline?”

It may not be able to block the world's oil pipelines. After all, the Soviet Union has influence on Middle Eastern countries, but those oil-producing countries still have to export oil and exchange it for foreign exchange to purchase commodities and supplies.

But if Saudi Arabia transforms into a regime similar to that of Iraq and Syria, what impact will it have on the world?

Thinking of this, Li Yian also frowned, with a serious expression as if he was making a major decision.

It is indeed a major decision, after all, it is related to the fate of a country.

It is not just a country, it may even affect the whole world. After all, things often have chain reactions.

But what kind of changes will it bring to the world? Facing such an unknown future, Li Yian had no idea in his heart. This thought only passed through his mind. After all, the possibility of blocking oil pipelines all over the world was really scary.

"OPEC is already a headache. If OPEC is controlled by the Soviet Union, it will really be a disaster!"

Although for Nanyang, the existence and strength of the Soviet Union is There are benefits, but only if he confronts the United States. Their confrontation cannot determine the winner. Otherwise, it will definitely not be a good thing for Nanyang. No matter whether the final winner is the Soviet Union or the United States, Nanyang will be next. The goal, if the Soviet Union had won the Cold War, was the absolutely devastating disaster that awaited Southeast Asia.

So, this risk cannot be taken!

In the end, he just took a deep look at the briefing in front of him, pursed his lips, and then closed the briefing.

In the last few days of the year, there are no major events in the world. As for the incident in Saudi Arabia, it has no impact on the world at all, and it will not even appear in the newspapers. After all, For people in this era, most of them don't know where Saudi Arabia is.

But among these people, Ma Baoguo is definitely not included.

Ma Baoguo had just returned from distant Saudi Arabia and set foot on the land of his motherland, feeling an indescribable excitement in his heart. As he stepped out of the airport, his eyes fell on the bustling streets outside the glass door, as if he was in a brand new world, feeling like he was in another world.

“Finally back!” He sighed softly, with a hint of exhaustion and relief in his voice.

While Ma Baoguo was immersed in his thoughts, he suddenly found a pick-up board with his name written on it among the people picking him up. He was moved in his heart and walked over quickly. The pick-up person, Zhao Lei, had obviously seen his photo and greeted him warmly when he saw him.

"Minister Ma, I am Zhao Lei from the Chang'an branch. Mr. He specially arranged for me to pick you up at the airport." Zhao Lei introduced his identity while taking his suitcase.

The two walked out of the airport side by side and soon got into a BMW car. The car slowly left the airport. Ma Baoguo leaned on the comfortable seat and felt the cool air-conditioned wind in the car, with a satisfied smile on his face.

“It’s better to be at home!” He sighed, recalling those days in Saudi Arabia. The deserts all over the place and the occasional explosions made him feel depressed.

At this moment, Zhao Lei broke the silence:

"Minister Ma, the company has arranged a room for you in Chang'an. You can have a good rest first. Manager He will be there tomorrow Come to see you.”

Ma Baoguo nodded, indicating that he understood.

"I'm over there in Cairo..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Lei said.

“The general manager will listen to your personal report when the time comes. The manager can be said to have praised Minister Ma’s adventure in Saudi Arabia. He has mentioned it many times in the company in the past few days, saying that you ignored Due to the turbulent situation in the local area, he decisively contacted people inside Saudi Arabia and helped them escape from Saudi Arabia at his own risk. He said that Minister Ma had made great contributions to the company. "

This is the praise of the general manager. . With this praise, it will be very beneficial for the next promotion and future development in the company.

Okay, wait until it’s time to report to the general manager in person. Explain everything to him again.

"Hussein..."

The reason why he rushed back in such a hurry was precisely because of Hussein. He never thought that what he saved was actually a big fish.

How big is that fish?

Almost as good as Egypt's Nasser, that guy is the leader of the Saudi Free Officers Organization. Such a big fish will definitely be helpful to their operations in Egypt.

It might even change everything.

Of course, this requires the power of the company to assist, because Hussein now needs help from the outside world, and the company can provide him with some help.

"I hope everything goes well..."

While mumbling the name, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the newspaper next to his seat, and picked it up to read. The familiar square characters made him feel particularly friendly, and the news in the newspaper attracted his attention.

"The Wanhujiao Space Launch Site will launch the world's first communications satellite in the near future!" This news made his eyes light up and filled his heart with curiosity.

"Communication satellite? What kind of satellite is this?" He said to himself and continued to look at it with curiosity. He wanted to know what this mysterious communication satellite was and what changes it would bring to the world.
