The first thousand two hundred and eighty-six chapters are here

After Li Zhongxin and Haruko visited Sensoji Temple, they went to Tokyo Tower in Tokyo according to Haruko's wishes.

Tokyo Tower is a landmark building in Tokyo, located in Shiba Park, Minato, Tokyo, 332.6 meters high.

At this time, the Tokyo Tower was not only mainly used to send various radio waves such as TV and radio, but also sent JR train stop signals when a major earthquake occurred, and also had functions such as navigation beacons, wind direction and wind speed measurement, and temperature measurement.

Li Zhongxin heard Haruko chattering in his ears that the Tokyo Tower was built with the Paris Eiffel Tower as a model and was completed on October 14, 1958.

The color of Tokyo Tower is red and white because air traffic control regulations are used to facilitate identification.

Lighting is hosted by world-renowned lighting designer Shinko Ishii. The lighting time is between sunset and midnight. The color of the light changes with the seasons, and the summer is white, spring, autumn and winter is orange.

The Tokyo Tower has a large observation deck 150 meters away, and a special observation deck 249.9 meters away, which can enjoy the view of the inside of Tokyo and a clear day overlooking Mount Fuji. There is a four-story Tokyo Tower building directly below the tower. In addition to the entrance and exit to the observation deck, there is also a Tokyo Tower Aquarium and a variety of souvenir shops.

During the end of July, Li Zhongxin was so entangled by Haruko, but! He also had a comfortable time in Japan. He had many places he had never been to in later generations, so he also visited and visited during this period.

The dull and comfortable days passed quickly. At 2 a.m. on August 2, 1990, Iraqi troops invaded the northern border of Kuwait and occupied most of the Kuwait capital. The troops of both sides fought fiercely at the northern end of the Gulf Avenue.

According to witnesses, forty or fifty Iraqi helicopters hovered over Kuwait city on the morning of August 2, and more than 30 Iraqi tanks sailed north on the Gulf Avenue. Iraqi fighter jets were attacked by Kuwait ground artillery fire.

Iraqi troops occupied the main streets of Kuwait City in the morning, and some government departments and the Emir Palace were also surrounded. Kuwait International Airport has been closed. According to foreign news reports, the Emir Palace and the Kuwait International Airport have been occupied by Iraqi troops.

The battle between Kuwait and Iraqi troops in the city of Kuwait continued. Kuwait radio repeatedly played patriotic songs that day, and called on the people of the whole country to unite and resist Iraq's military invasion, and called on "Arab countries to save Kuwait."

The UN Security Council passed a resolution on the same day, requiring Iraq to immediately and unconditionally withdraw all its troops invading Kuwait territory to their positions before the invasion.

The resolution condemned Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, believed that the incident undermined international peace and security, and called on Ico to hold immediate negotiations to resolve the dispute.

This resolution was adopted at an emergency meeting held by the United Nations Security Council at the request of the Government of Kuwait.

In his speech at the meeting, Chinese Ambassador to the United Nations Li Daoyu sincerely called on Iraq to resolve the differences between the two countries through negotiations. He regretted the incident of Iraqi troops crossing the border to attack Kuwait.

He said Iraq should stop such actions and retreat its troops to its position before the incident. He pointed out that China has always advocated that disputes between countries should be settled peacefully without resorting to force.

Iraq and Kuwait are both friendly countries of China. We hope that the two countries can live in peace and resolve differences between the two countries through peaceful negotiations.

The U.S. government responded strongly to Iraq's military operations against Kuwait on the same day. After urgent consultations with his national security adviser and Secretary of Defense, Bush said at the White House at 8:30 a.m. that the United States strongly condemns Iraq's military invasion against Kuwait and demands Iraq to immediately and unconditionally withdraw its invading troops.

Bush said that to show that the United States is concerned, he has directed the U.S. representative to the United Nations to request the Security Council to hold a meeting. He said he had signed an executive order to freeze Iraq's property in the United States and ban financial transactions with Iraq.

The United States will also maintain contact with governments to negotiate measures that can be taken to end Iraq's "injust action". Bush claimed that the United States will consider taking necessary actions "to protect the United States' long-term vital interests in the Gulf."

After learning about the accurate information about Iraq's official invasion of Kuwait, the Chinese government immediately formed an organized team and began to buy oil futures in large quantities.

At this time, the big guys remembered that in July, Li Zhongxin had put forward such an idea in Japan, but at that time they didn't think that oil would rise rapidly.

China needs oil to buy orders for oil futures earlier, so it will be of great help to the Chinese government.

All along, the big guys in charge of China's economy have thought that they were very accurate in their viewing. They felt that there was nothing wrong with oil in this period of time.

One is Saudi Arabia and the other is Kuwait. They are selling oil crazily to the outside world without limiting the output at all. They can sell as much as they want. There are countless crude oil on the market. In such a situation, how can oil prices rise?

They thought that what Li Zhongxin told them was a fantasy thing, and they just took what Li Zhongxin said as a joke. So, at this time, their preparations were seriously insufficient, and they began to feel good about Li Zhongxin. At least in the general direction, Li Zhongxin had no problems and found an opportunity to make a lot of money and told the Chinese government.

Although the reactions of various countries were very fast, their speed was not as fast as Iraq. On the second day after Iraq launched an attack, the Iraqi navy, army and air forces attacked Kuwait under the cover of special forces. In less than 14 hours, they occupied Kuwait in full.

So, Saddam proudly announced to the world that Kuwait will be classified as Iraq's 19th province, which is an integral part of Iraq.

On the same day, the UN Security Council unanimously condemned Iraq's actions and authorized the coalition forces to take military action against Iraq. The United States immediately launched the "Desert Shield" military action. The "Esenhower" aircraft carrier and the "Independence" aircraft carrier entered the Gulf. In addition to the local US garrisons participating in the military action, the United States also sent troops from military garrisons around the world to merge into the Gulf.

However, at this time, the Soviet Union, another major power in the world, reached a consensus with the United States, and issued a "Joint Statement" requiring Iraq to withdraw its troops.
