Chapter 1014 The Dog Leash in Nanyang (first update, please subscribe)
Although the black hole of the gun was pointed at him, even though the soldiers shouted crude words.
But Sun Chengang looked unmoved.
Even facing the gun, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one, lit the cigarette, and started smoking silently.
His calmness made Hussein curious.
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Chairman, killing me will not solve the problem, but will only intensify it. You must understand that behind me, there is still my country!"< br>
After taking a puff of cigarette, Sun Chengang looked leisurely and contented, but in his heart he had already begun to curse. Adams from Aramco ran away. That guy was the representative of Aramco in Riyadh.
"Country..."
Suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, Hussein looked at the other party, thought for a moment, waved his hand, and after the soldiers retreated, he said:
< br>
"Mr. Sun, you are here just to make money. If you cooperate with the committee, then I can assure you that after the situation stabilizes, we will pass some laws to ensure that you can participate in the onshore oil fields. During mining and exploration. ”
If hard is not enough, then let’s go soft. Hussein directly threw out his bait. Anyway, this bait was just a temporary compromise. After the situation stabilized, he would settle the general ledger with them. At that time, he could completely nationalize "oil" like Nasser did.
"Chairman, this needs to be decided by the company's senior management. I will convey your suggestion to the company."
Soon, after a simple discussion, the meeting ended, Hou Not only did Sein fail to drive the security guards out of the oil field, he even lost his money.
But the only gain is that the other party promised to help him fight for the company to transfer part of the tax to Riyadh.
"It's better than nothing! There are also Americans who need to win over some first."
Just when Hussein was thinking about how to win the support of various countries and then legitimately take over the oil fields, he didn't What I know is that at this time, he has become a pawn on the chessboard.
"General!"
After winning a game of chess, Li Yian asked:
"What is your next plan?"
"First pay 10 million U.S. dollars to Riyadh to maintain government operations, and at the same time provide 20 million U.S. dollars to the Rashid family. They are weak and should strengthen support. As for the Hashemite family on the Medina side, they have The support from Jordan and Iraq only needs to provide 5 million US dollars..."
After a pause, Herman said.
"Just like what you said at the beginning, turn money into a dog chain, tie these dogs, and let them bite dogs."
Li Yian nodded and said:
“The best dog leash is money, just let them restrain each other. As long as we hold the oil field in our own hands, it is equivalent to holding the dog leash in our hands, just like... He of Tangshan Customs Virtue is the same." Because Herman didn't know this history, Li Yian introduced it.
“From the late Qing Dynasty to the early Republic of China, the Tangshan Customs at that time was under the control of the General Taxation Department founded by Hurd, and Tangshan’s official reliance on “tariffs” was the greatest power in the hands of the General Taxation Department. According to the treaty, Tangshan's customs duties need to be deposited in several foreign banks, and it requires the consent of the diplomatic mission before the Tangshan government can use this money. , is the dog leash in the hands of Western countries led by the United Kingdom. They often threaten tariffs to force successive governments to cooperate with them. However, poor governments often have no choice but to compromise and cooperate in exchange for financial support. Now, we need to It’s almost the same thing.”
After listening to your explanation, Herman thought for a while and said.
“Your Excellency, you mean that we also use a similar method to hand over oil field royalties and petroleum income tax to the diplomatic missions for supervision?”
“No!”
Li Yian shook his head and said.
“This is just an analogy. The dog leash is still in your own hands and safe, and is left to others... In the end, they will always give in. By the way, are there anyone alive in the Saudi family? Then support them "
While playing chess, Li Yian said:
"What we need is to turn that desert into a war-torn place. The best choice is to keep them there. If the chaos continues, no matter whether it is the Three Kingdoms or the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, as long as they fight it, there will be no authoritative government, only separatist forces. As long as they are tied up with a dog chain, everything will be easy to handle!"
< br>After that, Li Yian started playing chess with Herman again.
In fact, the world is mostly like this chessboard. Some countries are chess players, and some countries are chess pieces. As for the fate of the chess pieces, they have been doomed from the beginning, and most of the time, those who are chess pieces They are often pawns of the country without even realizing it.
Just when the outcome of the game in the official residence was uncertain, almost on the same day that the United Nations Security Council rejected the "international condominium" proposal between Britain and France, France immediately contacted Israel and the two sides agreed on a combat plan. , the next day, Britain and France held a secret meeting in the countryside of Eden to formulate a battle plan. In the afternoon of the same day, South Britain and South Britain also held a secret meeting.
It was decided that Israel would first launch an attack on the Egyptian army in the Sinai Peninsula to attract the support of the main Egyptian army; then, Britain and France dispatched aircraft from Cyprus, Malta, Aden and aircraft carriers to bomb Egypt and destroy the Egyptian military base; Then, the British and French troops landed at Port Said and attacked the Canal Zone, cutting off the Egyptian army's retreat; at the same time, the Nanyang Navy fleet entered the Red Sea, and aircraft carriers dispatched aircraft to bomb Suez City, destroying Egyptian resistance and landing from Suez City.
At the end of the mission, Israel occupied the entire Sinai Peninsula, and Britain, France, and South Korea occupied the Sinai Peninsula Canal Zone, annihilating the main force of the Egyptian army, and forcing the other side to sign the "Alliance Under the City."
On October 13, 1956, when the Soviet Union vetoed the proposal of "international co-management" of the Suez Canal proposed by Britain and France at the United Nations, the world trend moved in another direction. Racing wildly.
At this time in Cairo, the Egyptians had no idea that the risk had come, and they were celebrating this diplomatic victory there.
For Egyptians, the rejection of the British and French proposal by the United Nations Security Council was an unprecedented victory. This victory was enough for Nasser and his supporters to cheer and celebrate. Even the Arab world is cheering for Egypt's victory. They seem to have seen the arrival of a new era.
However, what they did not know was that at the same time, a large fleet had sailed into Socotra Island. This fleet consisted of an aircraft carrier, eight destroyers, and nineteen destroyers. A fleet of LST tank landing ships and multiple supply ships came from Nanyang. As soon as the expeditionary force arrived in Nanyang, the army troops began adaptive training on the island. The green-painted tanks were painted desert yellow, and even Along with the camouflage uniforms, they were also replaced with desert camouflage.
At five o'clock in the afternoon on October 29, the troops assembled on the island once again boarded the warship and accompanied the fleet to the Red Sea for "exercises."
Just as they were making final preparations for the next "exercise", a piece of news came out on the radio - the Soviet army entered Budapest, the capital of Hungary, and engaged in fierce battles with local people and troops.
