Chapter three hundred and sixty fifth, oil situation(1/2)

"cheers!"

It’s such a lively time in the Middle East!

Camel's National Guard enters KWT.

Because KWT was too small and did not have many troops, it was occupied overnight.

However, its leader was very clever. Seeing that the situation was not good, he ran abroad overnight and asked for help from the international community, which gave the beautiful country an excuse to intervene.

The situation has been changing for a while, and the international oil futures market is also in turmoil.

In just a few days, the price of crude oil has soared from more than 20 US dollars to more than 30 US dollars, and this is just the beginning.

As the American army was dispatched and began to sharpen its knives, the price of oil began to soar further, rising directly to US$40 a barrel, and has remained high ever since.

"A Dong, tell me what to do next, whether to buy high or low."

The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant.

Hua Yihan, who made a fortune from oil futures, wants to keep working hard.

However, the current situation is too delicate.

In November, the beautiful country issued an ultimatum to Luotuo. Instead of withdrawing its troops, Luotuo increased its garrison in KWT.

In this case, everyone knows that war will definitely break out.

only!

After the war broke out, the direction of oil prices became difficult to control.

Whether it's up or down, no one can tell.

"Do you think we should buy up or down?" Lei Weidong asked rhetorically.

"I think we should buy higher." Seeing Lei Weidong and Hua Yihan talking about prices together, Section Chief Yang came over and interrupted.

"Why, reason?" Lei Weidong asked.

"It's very simple, because judging from the current situation, war is definitely inevitable, and the time is estimated to be at the end of January next year." Regarding Lei Weidong, Hua Yihan made a lot of money in futures, and Section Chief Yang was very jealous.

Although she cannot end up in this situation due to her status, the attention is definitely there.

In addition, this is the largest war since the Vietnam War.

Needless to say, it is a beautiful country. It is the most powerful country in the world and has no rivals in the world. If there is a furry bear, everyone else will avoid its edge.

Camels are also weak chickens.

Known as the Little Overlord of the Desert.

Although it cannot defeat the beautiful country, the powerful dragon cannot defeat the local snake.

In this three-thirds of the desert, it can be very powerful.

Not only do they have millions of troops, they are also equipped with a large number of aircraft, tanks and artillery.

The outcome of the confrontation between the two sides is very likely to be another Vietnam or Afghanistan.

"You mean, this war will last for a long time!" Lei Weidong shrugged, took Section Chief Yang and Hua Yihan to the small room next door, closed the door, and asked.

"Yes, even if we can't fight for a year, it will take at least a few months." Section Chief Yang nodded and said, "I have evaluated the strength of Camel. Although it is not as good as us, it should not be underestimated. If the beautiful country is careless, it will be very

Maybe the horse has missed its stride."

"You can't be wrong in your thinking. If the terrain is like that of Vietnam or Afghanistan, the beautiful country may not be able to make progress, but you have forgotten that the Middle East is a desert, and what is most important in the desert."

"No need to ask, of course it's water. Without water, a whole day in the desert..." Section Chief Yang was stunned as he spoke, and quickly went out to find a map of the Middle East and came back.

"Water, the most important thing in the desert is water. Without water, let alone fighting, people will die of thirst. This means that in the desert." Looking at the map in his hand, Section Chief Yang knew that he had missed the most important thing.

“In Vietnam and Afghanistan, when faced with powerful beautiful countries and wooly bears, you can use guerrilla warfare to hold them back, but in the desert, even if you want to use guerrilla warfare, there is no environment.

As long as the water source is controlled, no matter how many armies the opponent has, they will collapse. To control the water source, you have to fight head-on, and head-on fighting is the only way to deal with it, let alone an army like Camel who does not have a strong will to fight.

Even the volunteer army, if placed on the plains, would..."

"The beautiful country has absolute air supremacy, and the terrain of the desert is unobstructed. Unlike mountainous areas, mountains can be used to avoid bombings. But in the desert, facing the air force, ground troops are targets."

Lei Weidong pointed at the map with his finger and said, "If I were the commander of the American army, after the war started, I would not dispatch ground troops, but the air force.

Taking advantage of the absolute air force superiority, they bombed Camel's army, logistics, cities, factories, and command systems indiscriminately and non-stop until everything was smashed to the point where Camel had to use KWT to withdraw, and then the ground was launched.

force.

Annihilate Camel's most elite Republican Guards on the way back."

"Continuous bombing, the ground troops were not dispatched until the Camels withdrew." Looking at the conspicuous road on the map, Section Chief Yang fell into deep thought. She was thinking about what it would be like to be the Camel commander.

What are the ways to deal with the bombing of beautiful countries?

Taking the initiative will not work.

The opponent has air superiority, so attacking would be suicide.

Just like in World War II.

Faced with Hans' sudden attack, Mao Xiong dispatched his army to fight against him.

Because of the loss of air superiority, hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops were bombarded by Hans's planes along the offensive route, and finally the entire army was annihilated.

That was a World War II aircraft.

Now, airplanes can be much more powerful than they were back then.

As for sticking to it!

Domestic troops are still possible.

The most elite Republican Guard can be found in KWT. ​​They are unfamiliar with the place and do not have many bunkers. They can only use urban cover. But at that time, it was difficult to protect the enemy's cities in the face of indiscriminate bombing.

Section Chief Yang continued to shake his head.

Retreating is not a good idea either.

There is still hope for retreating before the fight begins, but after the fight begins.

Looking at the map, Section Chief Yang sighed.

The desert terrain is so annoying.

There are only two roads from KWT back to the country, and with the firepower of the beautiful country, they can be easily blocked.

Section Chief Yang can imagine.

Under endless bombing, the retreat road will definitely become a road of death. It is unknown how many people died on this road.

"How long do you think this war can last?" Section Chief Yang asked after calming down.

"A little more than a month, not even two months at the longest. With the intensity of the bombing by the beautiful country, it could be as short as twenty days or as long as a little more than a month. Camel's army will collapse.

Then we will launch a ground war, and it is estimated that the battle will be resolved within ten days." Based on the memories of his previous life, Lei Weidong gave a conservative answer.

"More than a month is too short. Even if we don't have to fight the cities and occupy them one by one, there won't be enough time." After being reminded by Lei Weidong, Section Chief Yang had already waited until the camels were about to be defeated, but in just one month, he was

Can't imagine.

"There is no need to occupy the city." Lei Weidong shook his head and pointed at the map with his finger. "The goal of the beautiful country is to drive the camels away from KWT. ​​At most, it is to occupy the territory bordering the south.

Beautiful country will not be interested in a big city with camels.

No matter how advanced the weapons are in urban warfare, there will still be casualties. If I were a commander, I would not occupy Camel's big cities, but would just control some traffic arteries and control Camel's oil.

As for camels, you can use the boiling frog model and use sanctions to let them decline little by little. Don't forget that the land of camels is mainly desert.

Neither food nor daily necessities are self-sufficient, they need to be imported from outside. As long as the rope is tightened a little, it will be enough for the camel."

"Sanctions, economic sanctions on desert countries!" Section Chief Yang understands the power of economic sanctions on camels.

If it is a big country like a rabbit, it is not afraid and can completely be self-sufficient and internally circulate, but the camel cannot. Once sanctions are imposed, it is possible that the people's lives will be set back ten, twenty or even thirty or forty years.

"Listening to what you said, it's better for us to be short-sellers, but will there be too many people short-sellers? After all, as you said, the beautiful country is too powerful."

Section Chief Yang was convinced by Lei Weidong.

"Although the beautiful country is powerful, there are not many people who can see through the phenomena to see the essence." Lei Weidong shrugged and said with a smile, "After all, there are two examples in front of us are Vietnam and Afghanistan.

Otherwise, why do you think Luotuo has the confidence to fight against the beautiful country? It is because there are ready-made examples.

I can be sure that there are many people who buy long in the oil futures market. Many people want to make a big fortune and even invest all their wealth in it.

And this amount could be hundreds of billions of dollars."

"Hundreds of billions, if we can harvest this money, it will be beneficial to the country." Hearing Lei Weidong say that the funds may be hundreds of billions, Section Chief Yang was moved.

Because of the turmoil last year, the mainland was blocked by European and American countries.

Divestment, selling off RMB and other means have caused heavy losses to the mainland.

Fortunately, patriotic businessmen came to help.

Lei Weidong, in particular, through the banks he controlled, not only sent tens of billions of dollars in cash to the mainland, but also thousands of tons of gold.

The mainland not only survived the bank run crisis, but also achieved considerable economic development.
