Chapter 1129 Put aside disputes and make progress together

"President Kusai, we are stationing troops in Israel to maintain stability there. Your country and Israel have no territory to border, so our garrison there should have nothing to do with your country, right?" said Secretary of State Christopher, who followed Clinton.

We have not stationed troops in Iraq, so what does this have to do with you! Although the United States is short of money, there is no need to give up its interests in Israel just because the Arabs say they want to lend money to the United States, right?

After hearing this, Kusai knew that these Americans didn't give themselves a few more harsh words, and I'm afraid it would be good.

"My American friends." Kusai said: "Our Arab world is a united world. We cannot watch our Palestinian brothers suffer. Israel has occupied the territory of our Palestinian brothers all the time. They can be so powerful and arrogant, and they are inseparable from your support. Your country's troops in Israel will seriously damage the interests of our Arab countries. This is also the main contradiction between our Arab world and your country."

Kusai's words made Americans look serious. Kusai pointed out that Americans are the accomplices behind Israel. It is precisely because of the United States that Israel can be so arrogant, which is absolutely unacceptable for Americans.

"We in the United States are also friendly countries that support your country. Palestinians pursue their legitimate rights and interests. For example, in the war last year, we in the United States did not use our own army to participate in the battle. Isn't this enough to show our support for the Arab world?" Christopher said.

That was when you were unable to do so! If there were three divisions now, under Bush's command, they would have started to move. Kusai thought to himself, but he said, "Yes, your side did not take action last time, then it would be meaningless to station the troops on the land of Israel. All the supplies there must be transported, even oil supplies, and sea. The hell is small and there is no place to shoot targets. It would be better to station in Germany or your territory!"

It is of course of profound meaning to point out this way. For the United States, garrisoning troops in Israel is not a good choice. All logistics supplies must be transported. For the Clinton administration, which is gradually reducing military expenditures and reducing overseas troops, the Israeli garrison is indeed a burden. Moreover, such garrisoning will be destroyed by Iraq at any time when a real war occurs and cannot move.

The US side is probably very hated about Clinton. Before 1991, defense expenditures accounted for more than 25% of the annual fiscal budget. While Clinton spared no effort to reduce it, in the 1999 fiscal budget, defense expenditures accounted for only 14.6%.

"And we don't know that the funds we use to purchase US Treasury bonds will be invested in your country's army in Israel?" Kusai still smiled on his face, but what he said could kill people. It is obvious that if the United States does not agree to withdraw its troops, then all the conditions promised before will be empty talk.

Iraq has launched this killer to buy US Treasury bonds. To be honest, Clinton is still very interested, but he absolutely cannot agree to the Israeli garrison. He was thinking about how to respond, and then he heard Hillary next to him say: "Our current foreign policy of the United States has undergone great changes. For example, for China, we have changed our original hostile attitude and proposed a policy of comprehensive contact. A strong, stable, modern and prosperous China is in line with the long-term interests of the United States. We hope to develop a comprehensive relationship with China to eliminate differences between the two sides under a broader strategic background. These words are for you.

The same is true for the entire Arab world. Now, the Arab world is undergoing tremendous changes. A united, stable, industrialized and dynamic Arab world is in line with our long-term interests. We are willing to develop a comprehensive partnership with the entire Arab world represented by your country in terms of finance and other aspects. However, our differences still exist. For example, for the issue of garrison you raised now, we can temporarily put aside the disputes, and look forward together. As the relationship between us gradually improves, these disputes can be resolved successfully through subsequent negotiations."

Hillary's words are clever. Shelve the dispute and resolve it later. Now we are here to discuss cooperation between each other, not to quarrel. Isn't it better to keep this matter until later?

At this time, Hillary had already shown certain diplomatic abilities, but Clinton knew that it was obviously impossible to get the young leader in front of him to agree in this way, and he still lacked something.

After Hillary Clinton finished speaking, Clinton immediately added: "Indeed, now the cooperation between the two sides is more important. These issues can be gradually resolved in the future. Moreover, in order to show our sincerity, we can now recognize the Palestinian State and restore the Palestinian State's status in the United Nations. The rest of our disputes will be temporarily shelved."

The Palestinian State was established, but so far, it has not been recognized by the United States and other countries. At the United Nations, the United States is still boycotting the Palestinian State, and their legitimate rights and interests have not been restored.

Now, Clinton has proposed to recognize the Palestinian State, which is also a manifestation of adapting to the historical trend. Whether they agree or not, the Palestinian State has officially stood there. Moreover, if you want to keep this region peaceful, it is also important to soften the contradictions between the two sides. The recognition of the Palestinian State is also an explanation to the Arab world. Secondly, whether the United States recognizes it or not, because the third world countries are now in a huge momentum in the United Nations, it is not difficult for them to carry the Palestinian State into the United Nations.

Clinton was definitely in his diplomatic skills to become the president of the United States. This adaptability and careful consideration was a successful diplomatic action.

Clinton's proposal also made Cusey think carefully in his mind. He just proposed that he wanted the Americans to get out of Israel, but it was just a bomb that the Americans could agree, and the earth would be reversed. Therefore, that was just for the capital to further bargain. Now that the Americans took the initiative to sit down, should he stop when he saw the situation?

Of course it's not enough! You have to ask for some more capital.

"Set the dispute?" Kusai said thoughtfully: "In other words, your country's troops in Israel will never evacuate?"

When Kusai asked this, the temperature in the venue dropped a few degrees. If he said this, then it is very likely that the US president would be excited and finally leave, completely breaking his sleeves and completely breaking the relationship between the United States and the Middle East.

"Yes, this is our basic foreign policy in the United States and cannot be changed," Clinton said.

After hearing this, Kusai said, "Okay, then I agree. We can put aside the dispute about this matter, but we still have a condition."

After hearing what was translated, the American smiled again. Since Kusai had agreed, then, even if this core question was over, what conditions would there be? As long as it was not too much, you can agree.

"What conditions?" Clinton asked.

"Your country's garrison is limited by the present and no more civilian personnel can be added." Kusai said: "Otherwise, if you mobilize an armored division in a few months like you are now, then we, Iraq, have to keep mobilizing our country's armored divisions until even our capital, Baghdad, cannot leave any decent troops."

Although the first half of the sentence is still a bit unpleasant for the Americans. Why do you want to interfere with the mobilization of our Americans' own army? However, the second half of the sentence expresses the intention of Kusai. Now, although the relationship between the two sides has eased, they are still hostile to each other. If the United States mobilizes the entire Seventh Army, then Iraq has no other way except to continue to mobilize troops. In this way, there is actually no benefit to both sides. Iraq's army is not as large as the United States. If they are mobilized, their own troops will be empty. For the United States, mobilizing too many troops and logistics supplies will indeed put them on a heavy burden, which is to transport the oil needed to start the two armored divisions of the oil and materials, which is enough for them to feel distressed. Now the US side has to significantly reduce military expenditures, and the money can no longer be spent casually like before.

The correct foreign policy is to find a point of inconvenience between the two sides, and the final result of the verbal battles within the Republic Palace made both sides very satisfied.

Clinton's trip to the Middle East went very smoothly. Under his promotion, the relationship between the Arab world destroyed during the Bush period and the United States began to ease again. The two sides carried out extensive cooperation in the economic field. The dollar oil system still existed firmly, and the cornerstone of supporting the US economy did not collapse.

For Iraq, it is completely in their interests to be able to continue to maintain good relations with the United States. The United States' advanced military technology will definitely not be imported anymore, but civilians are still a point of fit. In this regard, since Iraq has been able to produce a variety of products, they are no longer purely imported, but export a large number of industrial and agricultural products.
