Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

"They will be involved in a series of related construction work in Di City. During their work, please take good care of them, His Highness the Chief."

"Mr. Lin, even if you treat me as an outsider, you are my personal economic advisor and we are business partners. No matter from which point of view, your people are my people."

"It is my job to take good care of them."

Chief Mustafa hooked his finger.

Two followers walked over quickly.

"Order the convoy to come in and take these friends to the hotel to rest."

“Tell the hotel manager that they are VIPs and must be treated warmly.”

The two of them immediately split up.

Later that day, Chief Mustafa invited Lin Kaifeng to his palace for dinner.

"Mr. Lin, did you encounter any danger on the way here?"

After three rounds of drinks, Chief Mustafa asked casually.

"Danger?"

Lin Kaifeng picked up the napkin, wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth, and said calmly: "What kind of danger is the chief referring to?"

Chief Mustafa stretched out a hand and pointed to the ceiling above his head.

"Mr. Lin may not know that since April last year, ships in the desert area have been attacked by missiles every day. Didn't you see any merchant ships and oil tankers being attacked on your way here on the freighter?"

After hearing this, Lin Kaifeng's heart skipped a beat.

What a blessing from God!

Fortunately, we did not follow the advice of others and rent a foreign cargo ship as a means of transportation.

otherwise.

Everyone may have to go to the sea to feed the fish.

By 1984, Latin America and Persia were at loggerheads with each other.

The two sides shifted the battlefield from land and air to sea.

The war mode changed from attacking the enemy's army to indiscriminate ship attacks.

In the end, any war is fought for money.

This is also why there is a saying that a cannon shot is worth a fortune.

The war between Lak and Persia had been going on for four years.

The two sides fought evenly, and it was more like a fight between two weaklings than to say they were evenly matched.

Using the most advanced weapons and equipment, fighting an almost primitive war.

Persia sold everything it had, using all the resources it could to maintain the war.

Export oil to foreign countries at a relatively low price.

The country of Latvia borrowed heavily from various desert countries and maintained the war through loans.

The two countries' way of warfare began to shift to cutting off each other's funding sources.

They are all coastal countries, and their oil exports mainly rely on sea transportation.

The country of Latvia took the lead and designated all the waters of the two countries as war zones.

Merchant ships, civilian ships, and warships will become enemies of the Rak Kingdom once they enter the war zone waters.

Persia issued the same warning.

Whoever dares to buy oil from Latvia? Their oil tankers can come in but they can never leave!

From then on, the two countries launched an indiscriminate ship-raiding war.

When gods fight, the little devils suffer.

The oil-producing countries in the desert are in trouble.

For a while, they could only hide in the port, not daring to go beyond the line. Finally, the United States showed up and the ship attack ended.

Two aircraft carrier battle groups and multiple escort fleets were dispatched to protect the oil tankers of these countries and ensure their normal entry and exit of the waters.

"Mr. Lin, if your company or your country tries to send personnel or transport construction equipment here, you must fly your own flag. You must not fly the flag of other countries, and you must not rent ships from other countries. Otherwise, the two lunatics will definitely attack you."

Chief Mustafa kindly reminded Lin Kaifeng.

Just because you didn’t encounter danger this time doesn’t mean you won’t encounter danger next time.

Lin Kaifeng said calmly: "Your Highness, has your Dicheng oil tanker also been attacked?"

Chief Mustafa said angrily: "Not to mention our Di City, even the dog owner was not spared from this attack."

"Our countries have been constantly condemning Persia, and the United States has issued warnings many times, but Persia still goes its own way. The Rak country is also not an easy target. In order to get us to continue to provide war funds, it has more or less expressed its desire to cease fire."

Speaking of this matter, Chief Mustafa was very angry.

The Emirates, the dog owners and other oil giants and Persia have an irreconcilable hatred.

Upon learning that Lak had invaded Persia, other countries were overjoyed and frantically provided Lak with war funds.

Just to get rid of this mortal enemy that has existed for thousands of years.

Once Lak declares a ceasefire, those crazy people in Persia will definitely retaliate against all countries that support the war.

So far, more than one hundred ships carrying oil from various countries have been sunk.

If the ship attack continues, more ships will be affected.

"Understood!"

Lin Kaifeng's heart moved.

The dog owner invited Li Jinjun to lead a team for a visit, and it turned out that he had other ideas.

It is not only about a new round of arms trade with Longguo, but it may also be about sending a signal.

Persia once purchased a batch of anti-ship missiles from Longguo, code-named "Silkworm" anti-ship missiles.

The countries had a history of grievances and hatred with Persia for thousands of years, and their unanimous support for the Rak State further increased Persia's hatred towards them.

The missiles that attacked the oil tankers of these countries seemed to be the "Silkworm" anti-ship missiles.

The cannibalization missiles launched by Persia caused heavy losses to the desert tycoons.

To end the attacks on oil tankers, we must address the root causes.

Where is the root?

Naturally, it is an exporter of anti-ship missiles.

Through research on the Soviet Union's Styx anti-ship missile, the scientific research department developed the "Silkworm" anti-ship missile with even better performance.

In addition to Persia, Latvia also has a certain number of Silkworm anti-ship missiles.

"Mr. Lin, what do you understand?"

Chief Mustafa couldn't help but ask.

"nothing."

Lin Kaifeng shook his head.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The "Silkworm" anti-ship missile shines in ship attack battles.

Not only did it make a series of desert countries complain, but it also aroused a strong interest in Dragon Country's missile technology among some desert countries.

Among them, dog owners received the most attention.

Many years later, Mr. Gou found Longguo.

He made a big missile business that will go down in history.

This ship attack not only brought an unexpected huge amount of wealth to the Dragon Kingdom.

At the same time, it also allows the United States to successfully control desert oil.

This completed their long-cherished goal of pegging oil to the US dollar.

Because countries are unable to resist missiles that can appear anywhere and at any time.

They were forced to seek protection from the United States.

The United States took the opportunity to send their military forces to the desert area.

While consolidating its military hegemony, Western business circles began to follow suit.

Complete control of the desert's oil resources.

If there was a way to keep the impact of ship raiding within a fixed range.

Countries may not necessarily ask the United States for help.

after all.

The character of the United States is well known to the whole world.

The rich are not all stupid. They should know that it is easier to invite gods than to send them away.
