President Reagan, who had been tired for a day, finally finished everything and had a post-dinner entertainment with his wife and children on the White House lawn, which was also a rare quiet time in a day.

In the sky, there were stars and Reagan was in great interest.

"It's past nine o'clock, it's time to go back and rest," said Reagan's wife Nancy.

"Okay." Reagan stood up, hugged his grandson, and wanted to go back. At this moment, he saw the Chief of Office George hurried over: "Mr. President, please go to the conference room immediately. There is a major change in the Middle East."

"Nancy, you go back first." Reagan said, his brows instantly filled with sorrow. With the Soviet Union's foothold in Iran, the United States' energy security is always threatened. Now, because of the priority of economic development, he has to abide by this situation. Once a war begins, it will be money!

Now, I don’t know what happened in the Middle East?

When Reagan arrived at the Oval Table room, he saw others who arrived one after another. CIA Director William frowned, and Secretary of Defense Weinberg was very excited. He looked like this and was inconsistent.

"Okay, everyone is here, let's start, George, what's wrong?" Reagan asked the White House chief of staff.

"Just half an hour ago, the Iraqis blatantly invaded Kuwait. Although there was no war report ahead, the result was obvious." George said: "Kuwait has no ability to resist in front of the Iraqi army. By tomorrow morning, Kuwait must have had Iraq's flag."

Iraq invaded Kuwait! This Saddam is really a villain from the Middle East! Reagan suddenly felt a buzzing in his mind. Now, the originally chaotic situation in the Middle East has become even more chaotic, which is quite unfavorable for the United States!

Behind Kuwait is the United States, and behind Iraq is the Soviet Union! The Soviet Union has controlled Iran. Now, Iraq's invasion of Kuwait is a move for the Soviet Union to continue the Middle East oil in the air!

Kuwait's oil production accounts for about 10% of the world! Now, with the integration of the oil resources of Iran, Iraq and Kuwait, it is absolutely impossible for the United States to manipulate the oil prices in the Middle East again! Moreover, Saddam's goal is obviously more than that. Kuwait is occupied, and the next one should be Saudi Arabia! When Saudi Arabia is also occupied by Kuwait, the US's power in the Middle East will be completely declared to end! In the future, the Middle East world led by the Soviet Union will definitely use oil as a weapon to attack the Western economy.

Especially now, the US economy is undergoing a difficult transformation and development. The important task at the beginning of Reagan's leadership was to stabilize the US economy, reduce fiscal deficits, and reduce unemployment. But now, bad things are coming one by one. First, the Soviet Union launched competition in outer space. Although the United States was unwilling, it had to follow suit. Then, the backyard of the Middle East continued to catch fire!

When he came to power, Reagan still laughed at Carter in his heart. After all, Carter lost the Far East. Now, it is his turn to go to power. Is it in his own hands that he wants to throw the Middle East away?

No, absolutely not. The Middle East is the cornerstone of the Western world led by the United States. If the Middle East is lost, the United States will not be able to live in the future!

"What do you think?" Reagan said, looking at his think tank.

"Actually, we have long discovered signs of Iraqi troops gathering on the Kuwait border. We have also reminded the Kuwait royal family to pay attention to Iraq's actions, but they have not listened to our opinions at all. In their eyes, they never think that Iraq would use force. They just think that Iraq wants to use force to blackmail them." CIA Director William said: "Now, we only hope to rescue a few Kuwait royal family, so that it can form an exile government in Saudi Arabia or our country, and Kuwait is not considered destruction."

William means to form an exiled government. He also knows the current financial situation. Once the United States really uses force, the war will be a bottomless pit. In recent years, no war has been won by the US military, which naturally makes him not want to solve it with force.

"The establishment of an exile government is only one aspect. The important thing is to help Kuwait restore its country!" At this moment, Weinberg took over his words and continued: "This is a good opportunity for us! When Iraq invaded Kuwait, the next target is definitely Saudi Arabia! In the face of such a direct threat, Saudi Arabia can no longer reject our garrison plan! We can mobilize the troops in Pakistan to help Saudi Arabia resist on the front line, and at the same time mobilize part of the troops from Europe to realize our presence in the Middle East."

The United States has always wanted to directly control the Middle East! However, the United States' plan to garrison in the Middle East has repeatedly suffered bankruptcy. All of this is due to the anti-American sentiment in the Middle East.

Why is it anti-American? Because the United States supports Israel, Israel makes a fuss and establishes a country on Palestinian land! Behind Israel is the United States. In order to help Palestine, the Arab countries around it interfere directly, and have carried out four Middle East wars. Each country has soldiers who died at the hands of Israel, and they have a mortal enemy of Israel! Therefore, there have always been voices of anti-Americanism in various Middle East countries!

Under such circumstances, the royal families of Saudi Arabia and other countries have become dissatisfied with the United States. If they allow the US troops to garrison, they don’t know how many demonstrations will break out! Therefore, the United States’ wishes for many years have not been realized. Although the positions of these countries are pro-US, once the situation changes, the United States still cannot directly control them. For example, Iran’s YSL revolution. If the United States has garrisons in Iran, it can directly help the government pacify! For example, if there are garrisons in Kuwait, it can help the Kuwait army resist Iraq’s invasion!

In the past, for various reasons, the United States' plan to garrison the Middle East has never been able to be carried out, but now, Iraq has finally given the United States a chance!

"Weinberg, are you saying that our American army is going to fight against the Iraqi army?" Reagan asked Weinberg.

"We are trying to maintain peace in the Middle East!" Weinberg said: "If we don't do anything, the entire Middle East will be controlled by the Soviet Union."
