Chapter 313 A big chess game

Zhongnanhai has its own meaning to the entire China. Wen Feng really didn't expect that he would be lucky to discuss the world with the leader here one day.

The affairs of Southeast Asia are actually not complicated. The tentacles of Chinese power have penetrated into the Southeast Asia. With Vietnam and Cambodia as bases, and then infiltrate Southeast Asian countries, this is naturally the future policy.

In fact, the reform and opening up of Afghanistan and the country are the more important things for the chief at present.

However, since the chief asked about Southeast Asia, Wenfeng still reported some of the current situation in Cambodia to the chief.

In principle, many things remain unchanged. To a large extent, the garrisons in Southeast Asia do not need to be held responsible in the country. Wenfeng once promised the chief that he would be Huo Qubing from the Han Dynasty, help the motherland expand its territory, and make small surrounding countries dare not intimidate him. This is still quite good. His ability to control the overall situation in Southeast Asia has been recognized by the chief. In the head's heart, Wenfeng is no longer the Lengtouqing who once secretly ran to the front line to assassinate Li Duan, but regarded him as a real arm that can be relied on. This must be said that Wenfeng was very beautiful and laid a good foundation for his next work.

As for how to deal with the military expenditure of a division under Gao Xiaodong who needs to be stationed in Cambodia in the future?

For Wenfeng, this problem has been fully solved. In 1979, the country had a weak foundation and the economy was about to develop, so there was a shortage of money there. Although the salary of the Chinese team at that time was pitifully small, the most was only the expenses of equipment and daily diet, in Wenfeng's mind, a professional army of true nature was not like this.

Perhaps in the head's opinion, everything else can be put aside for future economic development plans, and the update of arms and weapons can be put aside first, but Wenfeng does not think so. Instead of letting the country take on the military funds of Gao Xiaodong's division, Wenfeng would rather let himself solve it. At least in this way, if he truly develops Gao Xiaodong's division, he will be less bound.

So how does literary style solve the military expenditure problem of Gao Xiaodong's division?

Take it for granted, the Cambodian authorities are naturally responsible for this responsibility, but how to solve it? It cannot be said that China's 10,000 troops are stationed in Cambodia, but they have no reason to let the Cambodian government take responsibility. That is really treating Cambodia as a Chinese colony. The whole world has just struggled from the suffering of the colonies. If the literary style wants to use this reason, it will really become the target of public criticism. The public opinion around the world can drown him with saliva.

Of course, the literary style cannot think about the problem so simply, but the emergence of the special economic zone helped him solve this urgent problem.

China will set up three special economic zones in Cambodia. In principle, the same way is similar to Vietnam. China sends people to manage the special economic zones, attract investment, and drive the development of the special economic zones. However, as the main responsibility that Cambodia should bear during this atrocities in Phnom Penh, coupled with the success of the Vietnam Special Economic Zone, the literary style is not as easy to talk to this time.

Back then, Wenfeng promised to help Vietnam build three special economic zones free of charge. The first was to allow the benefits of the Vietnam Special Economic Zone to influence the country and allow the chief executives to implement the reform and opening up plan more slowly. The second was to cultivate management talents and use Vietnam as a test field to give Vietnam such great benefits. China did not get any benefits from it. All the achievements made by Vietnam were obviously a huge advantage. After all, everyone knows that no one would be so kind. Lei Feng could have the spirit, but the transaction that only pays without returns is obviously unrealistic.

Half a year has passed, and not to mention how Cambodia's contract will be signed in the future. In fact, Vietnam has wisely proposed to Wenfeng that all the wages of Chinese managers will be responsible for in the future. Perhaps in Huang Wenhuan's idea, part of it is to sincerely thank the Chinese managers who helped Vietnam's special economic zones to make selfless dedication, hoping that they will get reasonable rewards. Another idea is more or less a bit of a winning idea. Maybe he is thinking that if these "old oxen" in China can make more contributions to Vietnam.

Before signing a contract with Cambodia, Wen Feng had actually agreed to Huang Wenhuan's plan. After all, the current Vietnamese rulers still quite agree with the current affairs. They know that if they want to cooperate with China for a long time and let Vietnam develop as soon as possible, they must establish good relations with China, especially with Wen Feng, the de facto King of Nanyang of China.

However, there have been some changes in the style of writing, that is, Vietnam does not have the right to directly distribute wages and benefits to the Chinese management teams directly. Vietnam's salary must be transferred through Cam Ranh Bay and then to Chinese management staff. Everyone will win people's hearts. However, if Vietnam is allowed to do this method of buying, the style of writing feels better than doing it yourself. After all, Vietnam will be responsible for the salary of these Chinese management teams in the future, so the style of writing will have reason to help these Chinese compatriots working overseas increase a considerable proportion of their treatment.

You should know that at that time, at that time, the domestic salary was very low. The salary of several hundred yuan a month was actually not proportional to the efforts of Chinese managers. When Chinese managers were under the responsibility of domestic finance, the style of writing could not say anything, but once it was handed over to Jinlan Bay to take charge, it would be different. Wen Feng believed that under his management, these Chinese managers would definitely have a new improvement in personal treatment and their work spirit. In Wen Feng's mind, his ideas were the same as the leader. The way of making big pot rice was quite undesirable. Working more and getting more is to follow the trend of the times. If these Chinese managers do well in the future, their writing styles with excellent work can also be different from overseas management models, and high material rewards are given to these outstanding personnel. Only in this way can they form a healthy competition mechanism.

Of course, Vietnam has changed the way of cooperation in special economic zones, so how can we not change the style of writing when negotiating with Hongfeng and Tiansanglin in Cambodia?

However, this time, for the sake of Gao Xiaodong's 10,000 troops, Wen Feng spoke even harder when he negotiated with Cambodian politics, and his actions were much cleaner. Even if he felt that there was something unreasonable, Cambodia could only accept it. After all, in the riot in Phnom Penh, Cambodia's choice of the Chinese team and the harm to the Chinese people could not be understood in just one sentence. What's more, if Hong Feng and the others thought about it carefully, Wen Feng was not too overdoing it.

China promises to help the cities of Cambodia's three special zones develop rapidly, but it also has its own interests in it. The result of the negotiation is that after measuring the fiscal gains and losses of the three special zones, the literary style can promise that the fiscal revenue of these three special zones will be doubled in one year. However, once it exceeds the second phase, the other parts of China will account for 30% of the remaining fiscal revenue. Based on the current financial figures of the three special zones in Cambodia, the contract will be about fifteen years long, and new changes will be made according to the situation in fifteen years.

To be honest, this result is not unacceptable to Tian Sanglin and Hong Feng. Let’s first say that their country is also poor and deserted. It would be very difficult to develop the three cities by relying solely on their strength, but if China comes forward, and has a successful construction and development plan, and a set of mature operation methods, the result will be obvious.

The second round of the fiscal revenue of these three cities has already made Tian Sanglin and Hong Feng very satisfied. They also chose the one with the best fiscal revenue among these three cities. However, Wen Feng also recognized it. This huge number has already surprised Hong Feng and Tian Sanglin. As for the fiscal revenue beyond the second round, China will get 30% of the benefits, but if it wants to reach that level, Tian Sanglin and Hong Feng cannot believe their ears. After all, Vietnam has been developing for more than half a year, and it has only been a total of two rounds on the original basis. In their opinion, the second round is almost the same.

Besides, the requirement of literary style is also high-sounding. If there is no stimulating means, how can Chinese managers motivate to vigorously develop the economy? After all, the literary style has already made it clear to the Cambodian government in the initial management of the Special Administrative Region. In the past, the Chinese managers in the Vietnamese Special Administrative Region did not have to be responsible for Vietnam.

But the situation is different now. Since the two special zones in Vietnam have developed very well, Vietnam has long said that the expenses are reasonable because they come to pay, and China will not have to bear them in the future. Chinese managers have developed their special zones so well, making their finances grow so much in vain, and also solved the problem of so many people working in Vietnam. Vietnamese are not stupid. At this time, China is also unable to say that the wages of these Chinese managers are unreasonable. They hope that none of these Chinese managers will leave, so they added nearly double the wages to these Chinese managers on the basis of China's wages, and all their future expenses will be borne by the Vietnamese side in the future.

If Vietnam does this, then China will build special economic zones in other countries. Where is the confidence to put in place? What else can Cambodia say?

As soon as the contract was signed, the achievements made by Vietnam were laid out. Hong Feng honestly summarized the salary payment of Chinese personnel on their heads, helping China's fiscal expenditure solve a large problem in vain. In Wen Feng's opinion, the cost problem of Gao Xiaodong's 10,000 troops was completely solved. Although there were only 30% of the fiscal revenue of the three special economic zones, Hong Feng and others might not be a big deal, but Wen Feng knew that this was a huge cake.

In the words of Wenfeng and Mingdi, I explained to Hong Feng and the others that the money is to help them manage the Chinese management of the special economic zone in the future, and their salary and benefits will be solved by this commission that exceeds the part of the Chinese side.

Wenfeng means that Vietnam and Cambodia will pay wages. Then Wenfeng will not have to apply the pitiful domestic salaries to these overseas managers, and not only will their salary be reduced by several times. Wenfeng can also promise these overseas managers that if the development of these two special economic zones exceeds the second round, Chinese managers will not only get several times higher than that in China, but they will also receive a large bonus. Only with such clear rewards and punishments, can these managers be more motivated in the process of developing the city.

After hearing Wen Feng's statement, Hong Feng and Tian Sanglin could not say anything wrong. Wen Feng's approach seemed completely understandable, so he agreed to this plan. Wen Feng only returned to China after discussing these matters with Cambodia.

In fact, others don’t know, but the writing style is clear. The economic foundations of countries around the world are very thin now, and the current fiscal figures cannot be compared with those in thirty-three years later. That is not a matter of a second round, even a hundred times the previous round is normal.

Wenfeng promised Cambodia to replicate the fiscal figures, and the other further improvements could account for 30%. Now it seems that this improvement is out of reach, but in fact, Wenfeng knew that as long as it really attracts investment, and Cambodia, a country with the most resources in Nanyang, is the foundation, which may be extremely amazing after more than half a year. In the future, this huge number will not be mentioned in the future, let alone raising Gao Xiaodong's division, even if it is used to develop Kansun and Longdao, and then strengthen the combat effectiveness of Gao Xiaodong's division, it is completely feasible.

In the literary style, although Gao Xiaodong only has one division in Southeast Asia now, if he wants to maintain China's strong deterrence in Southeast Asia, then Gao Xiaodong's division must not only be missing, but also must be continuously strengthened, and even spend a lot of money to make the division's combat power stronger, thereby maintaining China's dual military and economic advantages.

These situations were communicated with the chief and recognized by the chief. These matters had actually been told to the chief in the report. It would not take much effort to retell them at this time. This plan was adopted in Southeast Asia to operate, not only did not require a penny from the state, but also established such a great influence in Southeast Asia for no reason. With the chief's political vision, of course, it can see how good the actions of the writing style will be for China's future development.

However, there is no wrong place.

The wrong situation is that Southeast Asia is developing so well now, and the writing style is actually in many domestic people. Since Gao Xiaodong's division passed, this kid has to have money and soldiers, and many of his practices do not need to be influenced by the country. This kid is simply Wu Sangui in the underworld, the King of Nanyang who was a South China Sea.

Therefore, the leader now has to put a lot of effort into suppressing literary style matters in the Politburo, and many literary style plans have pushed him on his head, saying that everything was made by him.

Speaking of this, I really have to say that Wenfeng is an anomaly. Judging from his background, this kid's family is very innocent. Second, he has followed the leader since he was a kid, and he was a hard-core confidant. If it weren't for Wenfeng's situation, relying on the leader's understanding of his family and his trust in Wenfeng, this kid is called the wind and rain in Southeast Asia. If it were a different person, let alone the King of Nanyang, even if he was a teacher like Gao Xiaodong, how many things would be tormenting people? Wenfeng has had the speechless internal struggle in the Chinese officialdom for thirty years. It was terrible to think about it. He didn't want to get involved, and he would have to find a way to avoid it in the future. But this is a later story, he has to do it step by step.

In fact, in the next step of Wenfeng's suggestions to the chief, he has actually started to move. The Southeast Asian incident can be temporarily developed in this way, occupying the key points of Vietnam and Cambodia. The chess pieces have been laid. Wenfeng does not want to make big moves for the time being. The main move next step is to stabilize and strengthen the power of Cam Ran Bay in Southeast Asia.

The basis of this kind of strengthening and stabilizing power is the economy. As long as you have money, the military and political power will rise sharply. Only when your wings are hard can you point fingers at Nanyang affairs and even the political affairs of the entire world.

Wen Feng is really not worried about economic development, and he doesn’t need the chief to worry about it. With the overall situation of the early development of Jinlan Bay, he will soon gain something. What’s more, Wen Feng’s ship recently jumped onto another group of financial tycoons. Wen Feng knew that he would soon be short of money, and he had already started to prepare for many military matters. He would make Gao Xiaodong, Jinlan Bay, and even a guy who had disappeared for a long time suddenly become a terrifying force in this world.

Who is that guy who disappeared very early? In fact, an important figure disappeared from the Wenfeng sequence very early. This person is also highly valued by the leader and Wenfeng. He is also the Iron Brother of Wenfeng. He is the injury that has not been healed yet. When he arrived in Vietnam, Lin Hao, who was still limping on one leg, did not appear for a long time. Where did this kid go?

In fact, while Phnom Penh was quelling the chaos, an extremely fierce pirate unit recently appeared in the South China Sea waters of Southeast Asia. This pirate unit is known as the Red Freedom. In the South China Sea, they specifically attacked merchant ships from various countries, especially Japanese ships. These people fought bravely and were well-trained, which was qualitatively different from ordinary piracy, and were clearly like an army.

Where did this pirate emerge?

Although their weapons and equipment are not very outstanding, they are obviously much stronger than ordinary pirates. Moreover, most of them are natives from Southeast Asia. The emergence of these pirates makes people think of the Khmer Rouge troops who were driven out of the Gulf of Thailand by Wen Feng and his army. Their leader is the infamous "mass butcher" Pol Pot.

But, so what if everyone knows?

Pol Pot has soldiers, and there is no Chinese navy in the South China Sea that actually belongs to China? Although Vietnam had the idea of ​​having an intention to do that land in the past, judging by the fact that he is fighting with China, they probably don’t want to go there to scramble. In addition, the other countries do not have decent naval strength.

It’s true that Pol Pot, oh, it should be called the Red Free Pirates, and they are really like fish in water. There is really no way to make Japan and several robbed countries. They can only watch their merchant ships being robbed and kidnapped in the South China Sea. Now some countries are negotiating in the world how to solve this problem? But China and Vietnam are now very warm in their attitudes, but they are at a loss.

No one knows that the so-called actual controller of the Red Free Pirate is no longer Pol Pot. The literary style is of course not at ease to let the character Pol Pot take such an important position. Therefore, Lin Hao, who is active in the fun, has now become the actual controller of the Red Free Pirate. Lin Hao is eager to follow the pirates on the sea to learn how to survive in the ocean and use his limited power to obtain the greatest naval results.

Before we knew it, many members of the Hurricane Special Forces Brigade had become middle-level command officers of the Red Free Pirates. These men were always naked and spoke in the purest indigenous language, and bravely commanded their former Khmer Rouge rebels to gallop on the ocean. Watching the Japanese devils and various foreign devils tremble in front of them, this kind of life really made them feel too satisfied.

Does this count as the first navy that Southeast Asia Cam Ranh Bay has in Southeast Asia?

If you ask Wen Feng in person, he will not admit it even if he beats him to death. Even among the central leaders, the only leader who knows this matter will only ruin his affairs. How can the Cam Ran Bay be so upright that China is stationed in Southeast Asia? How could it have anything to do with these red free pirates?

But in fact, in Wenfeng and the chief’s mind, what is the most lacking in China’s naval power in the future?

In fact, it is not a ship-aircraft carrier, nor is it a large warship or nuclear-powered submarine. There is nothing to worry about these things. Although China has never had an aircraft carrier, it is not without experience in manufacturing large tankers. With money, it is not a big problem to create these things. The Chinese Navy actually lacks the most in all types of naval combat talents and naval combat officers, but what about now?

Hehe, a pirate unit called Red Freedom has become a training base for China's future naval forces, which has the youngest elite naval forces in China. In the minds of Wen Feng and the leader, Lin Hao's future is very bright. Think about the glory of the commander of China's first aircraft carrier formation in the future. If Lin Hao knew that Wen Feng sent him to the South China Sea to be a pirate's purpose, then Lin Hao might have been awakened by laughter in his dream.

This is the overall layout of literary style in Southeast Asia. The chess pieces he set up were so profound that the leader was extremely surprised. Once these arrangements really grew, it would not be a problem for China to control the South China Sea, control the Strait of Malacca, or even advance into the Pacific Ocean in the future. In the future, it would be a problem for the idea of ​​owning the ocean in the future. Although the chief could not have a profound understanding of the chief, the layout of literary style was exactly the shortcomings that China lacked. These things did not require the motherland to pay any economic price. At most, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would make the Ministry of Foreign Affairs slander more. If the chief did not take such benefits, he would simply underestimate this old man with a long-term self-sighted and far-reaching vision.

So in fact, it is said that there is no need for the chief to worry about the affairs of Southeast Asia. If he has the literary style, he can enjoy his achievements in J City. Now the situation in Southeast Asia is very good, and the real problem to be solved is the problem of the reform and opening up plan of Central Asia and the country.

Speaking of this, the literary style is not aware of the limitations of the chief's gaze. After all, the chief's starting point is absolutely right. Only when the country develops first can everything be done. Therefore, stabilizing the surroundings of the country and then fully developing the domestic economy. Follow the literary style overseas, this general is the current idea of ​​the chief. This literary style is completely understandable.

However, in fact, Wen Feng has more than 50 years of memory in two lifetimes, he can see clearly many things that the leaders have not paid attention to.

For example, in the literary style, there are two things that China must do now, one is about domestic and the other is about overseas.

The first thing is that without the literary style, the leader said when he proposed the reform and opening up policy that no matter whether it is black and white cats, as long as the mice can be caught, a good cat will naturally fly in when the window is opened, and some bad thoughts will also penetrate. These are also impossible.

Judging from the situation at that time, the chief's idea was undoubtedly correct, and he could only do this. However, after the literary style appeared, he immediately saw the huge disadvantages. If these bad things were really allowed to take root and sprout in China, it would eventually become a deep pain for the Chinese nation.

This deep pain is corruption. Thirty-three years later, the Chinese officialdom became popular, creating a large number of social contradictions and social bad factors. These contradictions eventually affected the whole people and even had a huge involvement in national strength. There were countless people who treasoned the country, and those who harmed the people made people lose their hearts. In this way, even if the entire society is developed, the Chinese nation will still not rise and make the vast majority of people not live a happy life. Is this development really meaningful?

To be honest, Wen Feng really doesn’t know how to solve this problem, because it is really difficult to solve this problem better on the basis of a one-party basis. It seems that once a problem occurs, parents can handle their children as ridiculous as they are. If they are kinship and have sex, they cannot handle this problem well.

But what if this problem cannot be solved?

Wen Feng deeply knows that the hardworking Chinese nation is really not worried about not being able to develop, but the remnants of feudal thoughts occupy the minds of most people. Once they have power and money, a large part of the Chinese people will be knocked down by sugar-coated shells, and eventually become sinners of the nation, slaves of money and power, and naturally enter the abyss of corruption. This factor is human nature and a national bad root formed by the Chinese nation over thousands of years. It even has many ethnic groups in this world.

The style of writing was even influenced by many remarks from later generations, thinking that this was a system problem. If one-party dictatorship cannot be changed, such a problem may not be avoided, but is it really the case? The style of writing had to think about it for a long time. Under the current Chinese system, it is impossible to change the reality of one-party dictatorship in China. What's more, in the heart of the style of writing, he did not think that multi-party dictatorship is a good way.

Look at Taiwan, look at Hong Kong, look at how much more they have to pay when the parties fight for their respective interests during the election? Even the competition between the two parties in the United States will also cause a lot of internal friction. Many things that know they should be implemented, but due to the attacks of political enemies and the thoughts of the national votes, they have to give up more scientific development in the end, which also has huge flaws.

This is a question that is difficult to tell whether it is right or wrong. Wen Feng knows that he is not a thinker and cannot become a person like Engels and Hegel, but he has a sincere heart. He can only come up with a good plan in his existing knowledge, and then try to make as little as possible to penetrate the land and nation he loves early.

On the eve of reform and opening up, that is, the day before the head was about to go to S City to walk on a real opening of the door of the motherland, Wenfeng presented his idea to the head, a new department and a bold idea were put forward before the head's case. This idea may change China's future. His purpose is to enrich the country and strengthen the army and truly want the Chinese nation to move towards a strong country. Can Wenfeng really change the future? To be honest, even Wenfeng himself does not know, but he only knows that he is doing it with his heart. This hope is to see that China finally embark on a bright road that has never been before.

Of course, this is just the first thing, and the second thing? That is the issue of Central Asia and the issue of the two major powers, the United States and the Soviet Union.

Although the United States seems to be competing with the Soviet Union now, and cooperates well with China, as if it is unwilling to give up if it is not fighting with the Soviet Union, in fact, the literary style knows that the emerging capitalist country of the United States is the real big game.

In the literary style, although it seemed that the whole world was fighting with two superpowers in 1979, the United States and the Soviet Union were fighting to suppress the dominance of the world and wanted to become the unique hegemonic country in the world, just like the Sun-Down-Set Empire at the most prosperous time, but in fact, the United States at this time was actually far from as powerful as it was later. Thirty-three years later, the United States was a real behemoth, and it is now incomparable to it.

Here, the United States may have finally used various means, economic and military, and arms races to disintegrate the Soviet Union. Finally, it appeared as a winner and won the economic achievements of the Soviet Union and Japan so that it became so powerful thirty-three years later.

However, in the literary style, the fact that the United States has achieved such great achievements is extremely beautiful. Thirty-three years later, it is still a classic model of economic wars that economists from various countries regard as a classic. You must know that the reason for the collapse of the Soviet Union is that the United States has not only the support of military forces, but the "nuclear weapons" that really kill the Soviet Union is actually economic weapons.

Wen Feng knew that in the following days, the world's political landscape would undergo a huge change, but the reason was the economic card played by the United States. What is the queen of this card? It is not a currency, nor even an army. What many people in the world did not imagine is that it was oil, and a resource war would kill the polar bears alive in the snow and ice.

Everyone knows that there have been three oil crises in the history of world economic development, which occurred in 1973-1974, 1978-1980 and 1990-1991. There are many different opinions on the causes of the crisis, and the United States is not often mentioned. However, from the perspectives of the writing style, he has drawn a new understanding of the world.

From the perspective of world oil trade history, from 1859 to 1970, the United States was almost the largest oil producer in the world. By 1970, the United States' oil production reached its peak, with an annual output of 480 million tons. After this peak oil production, the United States began to artificially reduce its oil exploitation and replace its oil production by importing oil from the Middle East.

The demand for oil transferred overseas by the United States after the 1970s triggered the first oil crisis. In the literary style, the real driving factor behind the subsequent Middle East War in the early 1980s was actually the United States. He opened Pandora's box, began to completely suppress the Soviet Union, and let it go in a difficult situation. In comparison, the plunder of Japan's wealth was only a perfect work.

After economic intelligence analysis, the United States learned that the Soviet Union was a major oil exporter, and the foreign exchange earned by oil and gas exports accounted for about 70% of the Soviet Union's hard currency. Without this money, the Soviet Union would find it difficult to buy increasingly shortages of food from Western countries and key technologies related to national economy and people's livelihood, and the Soviet economy would lose an important pillar.

In the 1970s, when oil prices soared, the Soviet Union's profits from oil exports increased by 280 and exports increased by 22. The prices of the world oil market played a decisive role in the survival of the Soviet economy. An increase in oil prices by 1 dollar per barrel means that the Kremlin received an additional hard currency of about $1 billion, and the decline in oil prices meant a decrease in revenue. In addition, unlike other oil producers, the Soviet Union would not be able to increase revenue by increasing production, because the Soviet Union's oil production capacity had long reached its limit.

However, the United States is a major oil importer. The United States has to spend nearly $200 billion a year to buy oil. The most suitable oil price for the US economy is US$20 per barrel, while the price per barrel of oil was US$34 at that time. If the international market oil price drops to US$20 per barrel, it will reduce the US economic cost by 70 billion per barrel every year. It means that 1 of the current GDP will be converted into the income of American consumers. Moreover, the overall economic situation of the United States will improve significantly. Reducing oil prices can not only hit the Soviet Union but also increase its own profits. Why not do it!

Saudi Arabia is very worried that the Soviet Union would surround Saudi Arabia after invading Afghanistan. For common interests, the Americans and Saudis sat together. Because Saudi Arabia's oil production accounts for 40 of OPEC's production, unlike other oil producers, Saudi Arabia can quickly use oil reserves.

The final result of the US-Saudi negotiations was: Reagan told King Fahd: "Saudi's main enemies are Libya, Iran and the Soviet Union, who are the main beneficiaries of high oil prices, while low oil prices have greatly benefited Saudi Arabia and the United States."

With the United States Uncle Sam as his backer, Saudi Arabia no longer has to be afraid of any country's threats. The United States provides Saudi Arabia's advanced combat aircraft and other advanced weapons, and provides military protection; Saudi Arabia began to fight the Soviet Union with confidence and boldness and boldly expand oil production.

At the same time, the US Energy Secretary also persuaded Britain to increase its oil production in the North Sea at the same time. As a result, in 1985, oil prices plummeted in the international market, and the Soviet Union's oil revenue fell by nearly half that year. Since natural gas prices were parallel to oil prices, the Soviet Union's revenue from natural gas exports decreased by billions of dollars that year.

Arms were the second largest export commodity of the Soviet Union after energy exports. In the past, most of them were exported to Middle Eastern countries for oil. In the 1970s, when oil business was booming, the arms sold by the Soviet Union to Middle Eastern countries increased by five times. However, after 1985, due to the sharp drop in oil prices, the oil revenue of Iran, Iraq and Libya decreased by 50, so the Soviet Union's arms sales also decreased by 20.

In addition, the sharp drop in world oil prices also made the goods imported from the West suddenly extremely expensive. In 1986, the Soviet Union needed to import a specific equipment from West Germany five times more oil exports than a year ago.
To be continued...
