Chapter 718: Storm in the Gulf (6) Especially the people on the other side of the Caspian Sea, seeing the unique scenery here, appealed to the authorities to make it Yao Yi's private territory.
At this time, Yao Yi only shouted verbally, but he did not want to immediately acquire the three countries on the other side of the Caspian Sea, because these three countries are not only small in area, but also have huge populations.
, for Yao Yi, that is a heavy burden. Although their geographical location is more important, so far, Yao Yi has not been able to use them.
What Yao Yi needs to do now is to concentrate all his efforts on dealing with post-independence Russia. This is the key among the keys. Taking Russia's Siberia and Far East into his hands is Yao Yi's top priority.
Everything in Central Asia is basically carried out step by step according to Yao Yi's plan.
As for how to deal with the former president of Kazakhstan, Yao Yi originally thought of waiting for Russia to react before dealing with it.
However, a fierce power struggle was taking place in Moscow, and they had no time to take care of these soldiers who were temporarily detained by Yao Yi. Under such circumstances, Yao Yi did not want to keep these soldiers with him. After all, such a name was not justified.
According to the original plan, the former president of Kazakhstan was put on trial. The additional charges against him were to seize the Soviet Central Army without permission, embezzle military equipment, and impose a death sentence on him.
This news did not cause the slightest ripple in the international community, and even Moscow did not make any sound.
When Yao Yi discovered these situations, all he could do was release the Russian soldiers.
But to Yao Yi's surprise, these soldiers chose to stay on Yao Yi's private property instead of returning to their hometowns, because, through radio and television, they knew that their hometowns were suffering from the most severe famine and economic crisis.
, the depreciation of the ruble has wiped out their many years of savings, coupled with their dissatisfaction with the invasion of Afghanistan, and the fact that they have food and drink in Yao Yi's private property, it is a wise move for them to choose to stay here.
However, what is chilling is that during the internal fighting in Moscow, not a single official from the Russian republics or the central government of the Soviet Union came to greet them. These tens of thousands of soldiers became abandoned personnel.
Even they themselves could not have imagined that after nearly ten years of life and death in Afghanistan, they would end up with no one caring about them or asking questions.
Yao Yi incorporated this army into a special system, gave them a certain amount of military pay, and maintained their daily sergeant training.
Under the current circumstances, this is the only way to deal with it. Yao Yi himself is also waiting for an opportunity to handle these soldiers well.
At this time, the United Nations had already issued a series of sanctions, but Iraq turned a deaf ear.
And the U.S. Congress finally ended the quarrel and officially authorized the U.S. president to use force.
At this time, Yao Yi's million-strong army had fallen into Central Asia, and one hundred thousand of them were deployed on the border between Iran and Turkmenistan. These troops were just for show, and would not actually attack Iraq through Iran.
What really works is the 200,000 troops deployed on the border between Iraq and Saudi Arabia, and the border between Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. These armies use old retired US equipment to conduct large-scale pre-war exercises on the border between Iraq and Saudi Arabia, and
The retired American tanks and a large number of Humvees that had been modified by Yao Yi, and combined with Yao Yi's new weapons, were so powerful that the Iraqi army was a little frightened and began to build a large number of fortifications on the border to defend against Yao Yi's attack on Iraq.
Yao Yi has stated in advance that his troops are only defensive and will not enter Iraq to fight.
One of the main problems for Yao Yi in doing this is to prevent the Iraqi people from resisting Yao Yi, because in the future, Yao Yi will still do oil business in Iraq. He is absolutely unwilling to offend the Iraqis, let alone get burned. As long as he completes the attack on Saudi Arabia
The king's promise ensures that Iraq will not dare to attack Saudi Arabia, even if the mission is completed.
Moreover, Yao Yi also knew that when the time came, the United States would inevitably join the war and let the Americans assume the leadership role and become the object of hatred of the Iraqi people. He did not have to do this himself. Instead, he could send troops and lead the Kuwaitis back to Kuwait.
Yao Yi was extremely interested in helping them build a new home.
And Yao Yi also knew that after the war, Kuwait would definitely turn to Yao Yi for help, especially in terms of financial assistance.
After the authorization from the U.S. Congress was issued, the U.S. special envoy Mr. White came non-stop to discuss matters with Yao Yi.
To say that Mr. White should discuss this matter with Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries, there is absolutely no need to discuss it with Yao Yi.
However, the problem now is that Yao Yi's thousand fighter jets are deployed in the Middle East, there are ten old aircraft carriers floating in the Indian Ocean as a supply center, and 200,000 Chinese Army troops are deployed in Saudi Arabia, which has become the basis of the Arab countries in the Middle East.
The core leadership force, in this case, without Yao Yi's nod, it is absolutely impossible for the US military to enter Saudi Arabia.
Mr. White knew very well where the key to the current problem was, so he didn't go anywhere. As the president's special envoy, he went directly to Yao Yi's Lake Geneva estate, where he was already a frequent visitor and was no stranger.
After seeing Yao Yi, he smiled and said, "Duke Yao, I have something important to discuss with you today."
Yao Yi smiled and said: "When Mr. White comes, there will definitely be something big. Come on, let's talk inside."
In fact, Yao Yi had already prepared to talk to Mr. White.
The two of them came to the closed living room and sat down.
Mr. White said with a smile: "First of all, on behalf of our president, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you. If it were not for you, our diplomats and many expatriates would still be in the hands of the devil in Iraq."
Yao Yi smiled and said: "It's just within my ability, there's nothing worth showing off."
Mr. White said: "Duke Yao, now that oil prices have risen sharply, and various mineral resources have skyrocketed, should Duke Yao do something in this regard?"
Yao Yi smiled and said: "Yes, now the oil price has risen to forty dollars a barrel. Even if you don't tell me, I will open a position and release oil. Before you come, I have already given an order to order my oil."
Sell a large amount of crude oil at a price of forty dollars a barrel. If the United States needs it, I have stored enough crude oil in Akandi City, Choco Province, Colombia, to supply it to the United States."
Mr. White said with a smile: "Haha, Duke Yao has really good eyesight. He bought 10 billion barrels from us Americans at a price of twenty US dollars a barrel. In the blink of an eye, in less than half a year, the oil price has reached
It has soared to forty dollars a barrel. If so, wouldn’t you be making crazy money?”
