"And we must never use strong Iraq. Now, although the price of crude oil has not dropped to the lowest point last year, it is within the range we can bear. I believe that as long as we make some moves that harm Iraq's interests, it will definitely stimulate Iraq to cut production and raise prices. In this way, our economy cannot bear it." said James Baker, the newly appointed Finance Minister.

After President Reagan was re-elected, the former Secretary of Treasury Donald Reagan (not President Ronald Reagan, his name seems to be!) resigned because of physical reasons and was able to take over as the Treasury Secretary of the new superpower. James wanted to do something big, but after taking office, he found that what he took over was a hot potato.

The US economy has deteriorated to the point where even gods are powerless! James is empty-handed, but he still has a fiscal deficit of more than 100 billion US dollars. In the US market, Japanese-made, automobiles, and Japanese-made occupy the market, electrical appliances, and major brands such as Toshiba and Hitachi. Even a roll of toilet paper belongs to Japan!

The United States is now in a trade deficit, which is a big threat to the domestic manufacturing industry in the United States. It is planning a plan to solve this financial problem.

If now, even a little stimulus of Iraq will have a catastrophic impact on the US economy.

What's more, Iraq has always been very honest now, and its relationship with the United States is relatively friendly and has not done any extraordinary behavior. Moreover, while Iraq is repairing the damaged oil pipeline in Syria, it is also building a second oil pipeline to the Mediterranean through Syria. When this pipeline is completed, it will be able to export more oil. Therefore, from the perspective of the interests of the United States, maintaining the status quo is the mainstream.

The current problem makes them scratch their heads. If Iraq takes the opportunity to grow bigger, it will be an implicit threat to the United States. The United States must prepare for the future. Eliminate this danger in the bud, but the United States cannot come up with any strategy to check and balance Iraq!

Originally, Israel was the most suitable choice for the United States to check and balance Iraq. However, Israel is playing with fire everywhere now. Perez is so smart, how can he do such a stupid thing? The top American officials scolded Perez in their hearts. If he knew something, the storm of this incident would pass as soon as possible, and the United States would still resume arms sales to Israel.

But now, this is simply impossible.

"What's Israel's actions?" Reagan asked.

"It would be good if Israel can protect itself now. Their air force could not gain an advantage over the surrounding countries at all." Weinberg said. Although Weinberg was furious about Israel's last spy case, after the incident, he still had to consider Israel, which is the national interest. "Now, the number of third-generation aircraft in Iraq around has exceeded the Israeli Air Force, especially the Phantom 4000 equipped by Iraq has very strong performance. Even if our own air force fights them, we may not be able to get a cheaper one. However, in the current situation of Israel, we must never continue to export F-15 and F-16 fighters to them."

"Israel proposed to us some time ago to order a batch of new PW1120 engines and avionics equipment. We expect this to be a harbinger that Israel's self-developed Lion fighter jets are ready to start mass production," said John Penderxter, assistant to National Security Affairs.

They all know that Israel has been developing fighter jets on its own. It was not bad if it was originally converted into a young lion. Now, it is developing a new type of lion fighter jet. American engineers hired by Israel have come into contact with this project. They have a high evaluation and believe that the performance of this aircraft will be no less than that of the US F-16 fighter jets.

However, it will take at least three to five years for this fighter to complete the trial production and enter the Air Force. Has Israel solved all the problems now and wanted to mass-produce such fighter?

Now, the US F-16 fighter jet has entered service in many countries. The United States hopes that this fighter jet can become a general third-generation fighter jet in NATO countries and replace the existing second-generation aircraft in large numbers. Therefore, the United States definitely does not want a new fighter jet to threaten the export of the F-16.

Therefore, the United States sells F-16 fighter jets to Israel at a very favorable price. When Israel's F-16 fighter jets have sufficient quantity, it will interfere with their current lion equipment. When necessary, the United States will also take strong measures to suppress Israel's self-developed fighter jets.

But now, the United States has no reason. Israel has been sanctioned by the United States and cannot transport the fighter jets. If it continues to suppress Israel, then the Israeli sky will probably really become Iraq's.

After hearing John's words, everyone was considering this issue. After a few minutes of silence, Bush first spoke: "Israel is related to our Middle East interests. Israel's weak air force cannot meet our checks and balances against Iraq. When we cannot change our attitude towards Iraq now, we need to help the Israeli Air Force restore its strength. Therefore, we must support Israeli fighter jets so that they can equip the Israeli Air Force as soon as possible. On the surface, our sanctions on Israel are still continuing. We have stopped arms sales. Those engines and other parts are spare parts needed by the Israeli Air Force. We need to provide these spare parts to Israel. This can also bypass the attention of those reporters. Let's go through this critical period first."

We cannot support Israel openly and export fighter jets to Israel. Now, Israel has to build fighter jets on its own. The United States cannot suppress it, but can only support it secretly! The United States still needs to continue to support the training of Jewish pilots at US bases to restore Israel's air force as soon as possible. Israel's ground forces have not yet suffered losses, mainly because of the air force.

By chance, or by mistake, it is called a blessing in disguise. Because of this series of events, a fighter jet in the world that ended in later generations was finally born in a staggering manner.

Facing Iraq, which has risen in the Middle East, the United States has finally begun to take countermeasures. The Kusai has been provoking several times before it finally made the American people disgusted with the Jews, but the top American officials remained awake.

Iraq must develop rapidly and integrate Arab countries. This is something that Kusai must do, and he has done very successfully. Only by uniting Arab countries, taking Iraq as the backbone and forming a core can it become a powerful existence in the world.

In the process of Iraq's rise, the interests of many countries will inevitably be violated and will inevitably be regarded as a threat by superpowers. However, we cannot not develop ourselves because of this. Only when we are strong can we make a tough voice! The Middle East has undergone a great improvement, and the Arabs' backs have become hard.

Kusai was mentally prepared. With Iraq's strength, one day he would face hostility and threats from the United States, which he had to face. However, he would use various methods to delay the arrival of this moment. With an extra day of preparation, Iraq will be stronger.

Soviet Union, Moscow.

Gorbachev was listening carefully to the analysis of Marshal Sergei Leonidevich Sokolov: "Since ancient times, we have been looking for a channel that can open up to the Indian Ocean. The Middle East is also very important for our strategy, so we have always been supporting the Middle East regime, such as Egypt and Libya. But now, these regimes are now in love with Iraq. Iraq has a vague position as leader in the Middle East. This is very unfavorable for us, because Iraq is different from Egypt. Egypt was completely turned to us, but now, the relationship between Iraq and the United States is very close!"

After the last Minister of Defense Ustinov died of illness, Gorbachev breathed a sigh of relief. Youngness is capital, and youth is also a burden. Because he is young, he lacks qualifications. Especially since his ability to come to power is inseparable from the support of Ustinov and Gromiko. Gorbachev's attitude towards them is very friendly, but the views between the two sides are sometimes very different.

Fortunately, as the commander of the most powerful Soviet Red Army and the most powerful senior Soviet member, Gorbachev replaced Sergei after Ustinov's death. Although this was also nominated by Gromiko, Sergei no longer had Ustinov's momentum and supported Gorbachev's opinions.

Born in 1927, Sergei participated in the Far East Army's war against Japan, participated in World War II, and has always improved by military merits and rich combat experience. Before becoming the Minister of Defense, he always entered Afghanistan as the commander-in-chief of the Soviet Turkestan Military Region 108th Division. Since then, he served as the leader of the Soviet Ministry of Defense's combat command group in Afghanistan. On April 28, 1980, Sokolov was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union for his brave and determined work and selfless work in commanding the combat operations of Afghanistan.

In fact, Gorbachev was unwilling to let Sergei serve as Minister of Defense, because Gorbachev had been considering the withdrawal of the Soviet Union from Afghanistan, which was simply a denial of Sergei's final battle, but at Gromiko's suggestion, he still agreed.

Only after taking over power did Gorbachev feel that all this was different from what he thought, because with many hidden forces, he finally saw that as a national leader, he still could not show his ambitions.

Fortunately, Marshal Sergei respects Gorbachev very much and agrees with Gorbachev's view that he insists on reforms to improve the status quo of the Soviet Union. To be continued)
