Chapter 127 Angel of Peace
Reagan was just an actor-born orator, while Bush was a staunch guardian of America, a warrior.
During World War II, in order to defeat the fascism, Bush joined the U.S. Navy on his birthday when he turned 18 and entered the Navy Air Force. He was officially assigned a mission when he was not yet 19 years old. He became a real naval pilot and was stationed on the USS San Jacinto aircraft carrier. He was one of the youngest naval pilots at that time.
During the war, many pilots became soldiers before they finished their training and practiced their combat experience in battle.
Just in 1944, before the end of World War II, in a naval battle on the Ogasawara Islands, an island in the Pacific Ocean, Bush's torpedo plane was hit by Japanese artillery fire near his father's island. He parachuted and escaped and was rescued. All his colleagues on the plane died in this mission.
This experience further trained Bush's extraordinary courage and character, and he liked to use force.
Afterwards, Bush retired and studied economics at Yale University, and received a bachelor's degree in economics in 1948. After graduation, he went to Texas to join the oil exploration industry. Later, he founded Bush Overby Oil Development Company. After all the development, he eventually became the general manager of Houston Zapata Offshore Oil Company.
Bush's coming to power represents the interests of American oil tycoons.
All of this made him full of in-depth ideas about the Middle East. Moreover, he was absolutely not afraid of using force.
"William, how is our Peace Angel Operation going?" Bush asked the new CIA Director William Webster.
William knew that the action of the president's code-named Angel of Peace is to subvert the Saudi government.
"We are actively planning. After more than a year of preparation, we have successfully convinced the two young men of the Suleiman family, Talar Suleiman and Walid Suleiman. They are very dissatisfied with Saudi Arabia's current policy. The Suleiman family has now declined and does not have the momentum of the old king's money bag. The Suleiman family has a bank, which is on the verge of bankruptcy because of poor management. They attribute all this to the result of Saudi Arabia's joint currency, believing that this is a hasty act of showing goodwill to Iraq. Saudi Arabia is the boss of the Arab world and should not always obey Iraq's meaning like this. Now, Talar Suleiman is still an officer in the Riyadh garrison, with hundreds of soldiers under his command." William said.
It is not easy to find some forces against the Saudi royal family from Saudi Arabia. In this regard, Mossad and the CIA worked closely together to investigate senior royal members of the Saudi family. Finally, they found these two very suitable candidates. They gradually narrowed their relationship with them and instigated them.
Especially when Kusai's reputation spread throughout the Middle East, it was too difficult to find people who opposed Kusai and those with enough strength to come.
"Does the two have the courage to let the current Saudi family come down and the Suleiman family control the entire Saudi Arabia?" Bush asked.
The Saudi family has been in charge of Saudi Arabia for so many years and has long been deeply rooted. It takes enough courage to pull the Saudi family down.
"Now, there are more than 500 members of the Saudi royal family, and everyone is rich. The Suleiman family is already a little jealous of being unable to reach into the interests of oil. Therefore, as long as the two of them turn against each other now and defeat the Saudi family, there will definitely be more people in the Suleiman family to support them. The luxury of the Saudi royal family has become popular, and there are also many poor people in Saudi Arabia. At that time, with our agitation, in Saudi Arabia, there will definitely be more and more calls for opposing royal rule." William said.
Thanks to the abundant oil resources, Saudi Arabia is very rich, and the princes have tens of thousands of dollars in living expenses every month, which is something that other families envied.
The Suleiman family has fallen, so it is a difficult but very attractive choice for them to become stronger.
"These two people have certain ideas, but the specific implementation depends on our support." William said: "After all, if they raise the anti-flag, they must always be wary of the powerful Iraqi military interference. Iraq's President Kusai has a very good relationship with the Saudi family."
Although the interests are attractive, they depend on how much the price is. Even if Iraq does not support it, Saudi Arabia's own armed forces are very powerful. With the hundreds of soldiers under Talar alone, even if they plan a mutiny in Riyadh, they cannot face the counterattack of the Saudi armed forces.
"Only these two people are not good. We must find a suitable military personnel in Saudi Arabia, either ambitious people in active service in the army or retired personnel. They need to have a political stance that is inclined to us and are dissatisfied with Saudi Arabia's current system. In this way, we can push him out and take over the Saudi armed forces." Bush said.
No matter when, a coup will always have military power. Without this military power as support, all conspiracies can only be conspiracies.
William also knew that this would definitely be the most appropriate one. However, where to find the right military personnel? They had already sifted all officers, including the colonel, three times, but did not find the right candidate. Prince Sultan was very skilled in controlling the army. It was almost impossible for a senior Saudi army to rebel. They all admired Kusai very much. Even if they supported the rebellion at that time, as soon as Kusai's army arrived, even if Kusai issued a statement in Baghdad, they might immediately turn against each other.
Bush is very determined. President Reagan left him a Middle East chess game. He must solve the problem here. The solution is to instigate Saudi Arabia!
Saudi support is essential for Iraq to become the leader in the Middle East and implement various measures and means. Without Saudi Arabia, Iraq would have broken its wings.
Therefore, instigating Saudi Arabia is an important move in Bush's Middle East strategy.
As long as the Saudi royal family is driven down and a pro-American force is built. This force will overthrow the Saudi family with friendly relations with Iraq, Iraq will definitely strongly oppose it. Then, in order to continue their rule, they can only devote themselves to the United States.
The United States has strong force, and these forces are not something that can be seen. Iraq has responded strongly to the repeated demonstrations before. Bush knew that there was only one way to deal with Iraq. It was useless to call the wolf when it came. When the wolf really came, bit Iraq and bite it to death. This is all!
It is not very wise to send troops directly and have armed conflicts with Iraq. This will arouse confrontation in the entire Arab world, so the most suitable way for them is to start from the side.
Saudi Arabia has abundant oil, but does not have the corresponding force, so the United States has always been responsible for protecting Saudi Arabia. For the United States, it is their territory, but now, Saudi Arabia's defense policy has begun to turn increasingly to Iraq.
If Saudi Arabia rebelled, the United States will have the opportunity to take action. If the coup is successful, the United States will fully support the new government and garrison troops in Saudi Arabia. If the rebellion is not successful, the United States can also use the saying of suppressing the rebellion and drive the army into Saudi Arabia.
As long as the troops can be stationed in Saudi Arabia, a major victory in the Middle East will be achieved. If Iraq is still so disobedient, then Bush doesn't mind taking military measures to attack Iraq!
Iraq thought it had purchased some advanced production lines, even if it was an industrialized country? Even if it had advanced national defense? There was still a big gap between them and the United States!
Moreover, the Soviet Union has long been weaker now. Even if the United States launched this war, the Soviet Union would only protest at most. The Soviet Union has even begun to back down the ranks of Eastern Europe. Where can we have the strength to inquire about the matters in the Middle East?
Later generations commented on Bush Sr. There was a classic saying that Bush Sr. was flirting with military policies, but he yawned as soon as he dealt with the economy.
Now, the US economy is not very optimistic, but Bush seems to be deliberately forgetting all this. One of the things he is imminent now is to deal with the problems in the Middle East. When the threat from the Soviet Union has gradually faded away, the US energy problem has become the biggest problem in the United States.
Bush firmly believed that it was right to do so.
However, it is not easy to subvert Saudi Arabia.
The Saudi royal family has been deeply rooted in Saudi Arabia for decades, especially the army, which is firmly held in the hands of its own family. It is definitely not that easy for the CIA to infiltrate.
William's mind was thinking quickly that if the army could not be controlled, their plan would definitely be miscarried. However, the Saudi army could not be controlled by them, which was unsolvable.
Suddenly, he thought of a possibility.
Now, the Afghan War has ended. In the Afghan War, in order to oppose the Soviet Union, many Arabs took to the battlefield. In Saudi Arabia, there were also many young men who were very indignant about the Soviet Union's aggression and went to the battlefield in Afghanistan.
Now, with the withdrawal of the Soviet Union, they have also left Afghanistan and returned to Saudi Arabia.
Since the United States has always supported the liberation of the Afghan people, American personnel and these guerrillas have maintained good relations, including many Saudis.
After returning to Saudi Arabia, these people were welcomed like heroes and had a tall image in the hearts of the Saudis. Many of them returned with weapons and had not been handed over. It is said that the Saudi government intends to incorporate them into the military. These people have walked onto the battlefield and are very combat-effective.
Among these people, there must be people that the United States wants! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to Piaotian. A registered member of Literature recommends this work. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
