Chapter 732 The choice of the United Arab Emirates
Sailing hotels in Dubai, UAE.
This is the only seven-star hotel in the world, with a luxury level that is completely beyond people's imagination. Only the richest tyrants in the world can enjoy life here. In these oil-rich countries in the Middle East, there are also rich tyrants, and they can frequently go in and out. Moreover, the laws here do not prohibit them from having more than one woman, and life is so beautiful when they are hugged by them.
However, the rich people who came here today did not drive so happily. The Arabs wearing scarves walked out from luxury cars, and there were no beauties around them. They greeted each other familiarly and then entered the hotel together.
In the lobby of a luxurious private room, they sat at a round table to discuss the recent situation.
"Iraq is a traitor to our Middle East! They became lackeys of the Soviet Union, not only occupied Kuwait, but also occupied Saudi Arabia!" said a chief who attended the meeting.
The UAE is a loose federal country composed of seven emirates. When encountering major events, it is negotiated by the Supreme Council of the UAE. Now, such a meeting is held.
Of course, their meetings were not held in government buildings, but in luxurious seven-star hotels, which is also their feature. Not only the UAE, but many meetings in Middle Eastern countries are held in such a comfortable environment.
However, their mood was not relaxed at this time, and everyone seemed to be under a heavy burden in their hearts.
The situation in the Middle East has deteriorated to a point that they cannot accept!
Originally, all countries were safe and relied on oil to get rich, but now, Iraq has emerged! When they launched a war with Iran and resisted Iran's export revolution, the people here even cheered and praised Saddam as a hero in the Arab world. However, on the other hand, Iraq won the Iran war and invaded Kuwait! Now, Kuwait's existence as a country has almost disappeared and has become a province in Iraq, and the Kuwaits have also been wandering around the world.
Even the UAE has many people from Kuwait who are homeless.
Only Saudi Arabia, a major Middle East power, can uphold justice, but now, we have also seen that the United States has failed and Saudi Arabia splits for two parts. Although the Saudi royal family still exists, the situation in the west will be quite difficult if it loses the oil-producing areas. Now, many Saudis in the west have taken the initiative to go to the east and become citizens of the pseudo-government!
And all this is the Soviet Union! This Satan has made the entire Middle East chaotic! And now, small countries like them have become fish on the chopping board.
Just a few hours ago, the Iraqi ambassador notified the UAE President Sheikh Zayed bin Sudan Al Nahyan that the meeting of the Organization of the Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries will be held in three days. The venue will be held in Moscow! The UAE, as a member of it, must participate!
When he heard this news, the old Sheikh, who was in his sixties, was stunned at that time. Going to Moscow? Who knows if he can come back! Of course he can't go! Moreover, why should the Arab oil export parliament be held in Moscow? Damn Iraq has completely become a lackey of the Soviet Union, and he dares to threaten the Arab brothers to do such things! However, even the Arab brothers can stab the Arab brothers directly, let alone the current ones.
The facts are right in front of us. For the UAE, the current choice is very difficult. If you don’t go to Moscow, you will be isolated outside, and you may even be invaded by Iraq to completely destroy the UAE.
After all, oil countries like the UAE have very few populations and weak force, and at the same time, they have a lot of wealth, typical targets of being slaughtered. In the past, they were close to the West in hopes that Western countries, especially the United States, could protect them, but now this plan has been completely empty.
If you don’t go, you may be threatened by Iraqi force. If you go, who knows what new tricks they are going to play? The Soviets obviously want to control themselves!
"I think we can contact Bahrain and Qatar, countries, and they all accepted the same invitation," said a chief.
Now, only by tying together can we have a way out, but is it enough to just tying together? Qatar and Bahrain may not be enough to squeeze the Soviet Union between them!
"Qatar doesn't know that in Bahrain, they have decided to go to Moscow." Sheikh said, with an extremely depressed face. Bahrain followed the United States firmly at the beginning, and now, anti-American is also the fastest. Seeing that the United States is no longer able to do, it immediately surrendered to its new master. This face is really disgusting!
Of course, it is also because Bahrain countries first made themselves rich by oil, but now Bahrain has entered the post-oil economy era, and oil occupies a lower and lower position in Bahrain's national economy. Now Bahrain mainly relies on the banking and tourism industry. The capital of Bahrain is now a gathering place for banks around the world, and they are not afraid of the Soviet Union playing tricks on oil.
"We must not compromise. I don't believe what else the Soviets can do to us!" a chief said angrily.
"Bang." At this moment, the door was pushed open, and the UAE Oil Minister hurriedly walked into the conference room and said to Sheikh: "President, something is wrong!"
"What's the matter?" Sheikh frowned. He thought it was the Soviet and Iraqi army that was moving to his own border!
"Our dozen tankers were detained by the Soviets in the Strait of Hormuz. They said that our tankers might carry contraband."
The tanker was detained again! Hearing this, Sheikh immediately stood up, and the Soviets used their same trick again!
Damn it! Last year, the Soviets did this. They controlled the place and regarded them as police officers in the Persian Gulf. Moreover, these guys were all very greedy!
It can be imagined that from now on, no tanker loading crude oil from the UAE will be able to leave the Persian Gulf! Unlike Bahrain, the UAE's economy relies entirely on oil exports. If oil cannot be exported, the UAE's economy will collapse!
What to do? Looking at the distance outside the window, the crowd of people laughing and playing by the sea, Sheikh sat back on the chair. He was still full of righteous indignation just now, but now, they have no choice. (To be continued.)
