Chapter 467 Oil Price Increase! (First Update!)
In the corner, Saul, who had been eating yogurt, dropped the yogurt, stood up, walked to the box, took out the banknotes from the box, and counted them one by one.
It took him more than two hours to count the money in the box one by one.
He put the banknotes back into the box, locked it, and pulled back the carpet under his butt to reveal the wooden board inside.
The wooden board was opened, and there was a hidden compartment underneath. He reached out and threw the box into the hidden compartment. Saul turned around, looked at the American soldiers in front of him and said:
"Please tell General Hanks that we will destroy the oil pipeline from Kirkuk to Ceyhan regularly and at designated points to ensure that this oil pipeline can be paralyzed."
"However, when we destroy this oil pipeline, I hope you can abide by the agreement and deliver the weapons on time and in the right amount. Otherwise, our agreement will be invalid."
"Of course!" the team leader responded, spreading his hands and continuing to say to Saul: "Now, please ask Mr. Saul to help us and send us back to Iraq."
"We can go back and reply to General Hanks."
Helping with the retreat was an agreed upon content and a condition of the deal. Saul did not dwell too much on it. He just recruited a few confidants and asked them to bring new clothes.
After the American soldiers in front of them changed their clothes, they asked these confidants to take these soldiers and drive towards the Iraqi border.
From Malikiye, head south and then east.
Just hours later, the group was back in Mosul, northern Iraq.
Mosul, also known as Hadba, is located on the banks of the Tigris River.
It is the second largest city in Iraq, the capital of Nineveh Province, and the industrial, agricultural and financial center of northern Iraq.
It is also an ancient historical city. It was the center of the ancient Assyrian dynasty more than 3,000 years ago.
After America completed substantial control over Iraq, she handed over the city to the Kurds in northern Iraq.
It’s called management, but actually it’s differentiation.
It divides Iraq and the Kurds, and it is also a nail that drives Türkiye’s gaze.
Returning to the stronghold in Mosul, the team leader immediately sent word to Hanks in Qatar that the mission was successful.
Qatar.
Hanks seemed very happy to receive top-secret information from his subordinates.
As a feudal official with a large number of troops, it would be boring if he didn't use the troops in his hands to make some money for himself.
If the Kurds cause trouble in the Kurdistan region, they can sell more obsolete equipment.
That's a lot of money.
Then, although these Kurds are a little poorer, they can still squeeze out some oil, water and minerals and resell these minerals, which is another sum of money.
Finally, there is support from Congress.
Hanks felt heartbroken when he thought that the money distributed by Congress would fall into the hands of the Kurds.
After all, those Kurds are outsiders, and they are the authentic Americans.
This money... should all be given to yourself. Giving it to outsiders is really a loss.
After reading the information, Hanks took out his lighter and lit the note in his hand.
Watching the note burn up, he took out the satellite phone from the drawer, dialed the number, and said to the person on the satellite phone:
"The leader of the Kurdish armed forces in Malikiye in northern Syria has been killed. The Kurdish armed forces will launch crazy revenge against Türkiye."
"The new chief will destroy that pipeline."
"People from Mosul will also take action on this."
"Now the only thing left is Kirkuk, but it's very simple. I will send people to actively seduce the opposition armed forces and let them attack the Kirkuk oil fields."
"When this oil pipeline is closed, you can prepare to sell those oil and natural gas orders in your hands."
"It's a new year again. The factories and cars of European gentlemen can't be left there without moving, right?"
"By the way, when you take action, remember to use some dirty tricks on the Russians."
After telling the person on the phone about the mission, Hanks turned around and laid his eyes on the map on the wall.
Not a world map.
Just a map of the Middle East and Eastern Europe.
To the north of this map, there is a large red dot.
The name of that red dot is Moscow.
To the west of Moscow, close to Europe, there is a red line, winding from the Baltic Sea in the north to the south, through Eastern Europe, and directly to the Mediterranean Sea.
Next to this red line, there are several green lines crossing this red line.
It is an oil pipeline that transports oil from Russia to Europe. It also has a unique name, called the Friendship Pipeline.
With his fingers pressed against the oil pipeline, Hanks hesitated whether to take action on these lines.
Europe needs to handle a large amount of resources every day, convert these resources into industrial products, and sell them around the world.
Russia is a mine disguised as a country.
These two places absolutely cannot be put together.
Only by increasing Europe's hatred of Russia can Europe be more biased toward America.
After thinking for a long time, he tapped the green lines with his fingers, a wicked smile on his face.
Get some Arabs, Afghans, and Kurds to blow up all these oil pipelines.
You can easily kill three birds with one stone.
Provoke the relationship between Russia and Europe, then the relationship between Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine.
Finally, you can also give the Democrats a slap in the face.
After all, the base of these bastards is in Eastern Europe.
And Eastern Europe's good days require resources from Russia.
After thinking about how to operate, Hanks sat back at his desk and began to formulate a new round of plans.
…………
Kirkuk.
Kalim held a piece of intelligence in his hand, and his face twitched involuntarily.
After the team was basically stable, he sent several teams to the Mosul area.
The purpose, of course, is to monitor the Kurds in the north.
If the Kurds in the north don't go crazy and don't attack the people around them indiscriminately, then they don't have to fight on two fronts, and can concentrate on dealing with the Americans.
But if the Kurds in the north go crazy and attack the people around them indiscriminately, then they need to fight on two fronts.
Moreover, the Kurds are just as good at mountain warfare as they are.
Once they are driven out of the mountains by the Kurds, they will lose their strategic depth and be killed by the Americans.
After reading the intelligence given by Cavani over and over again, Kalim could only close his eyes helplessly and sigh in his heart.
After a long time, he spoke:
"The leader of the Kurdish armed forces in Malikiye was killed, so the Kurdish armed forces in the Malikiye area will definitely go crazy and will definitely find ways to retaliate against the Turks."
"You let the people below continue to monitor the Kurdish armed forces in the Mosul area."
"If they want to go crazy with the Kurdish armed forces in Syria, then withdraw our people."
"At the same time, strengthen the defense in our controlled area."
"If these people are going to divert the trouble, kill them."
After getting Kalim's advice, Cavani did not dare to delay too much and repeated the advice.
And quietly disappeared in the city.
After sending the people away, Kalim returned to his room and looked at the map on the wall, trying to think about how to solve the current situation.
However, no matter how hard he racked his brains, he could not come up with a suitable plan.
The reason is that the people around this large area are all a group of selfish people, extremely selfish, inexperienced, but addicted, and very ignorant.
Turkey wants to restore the glory of the Ottoman Empire and wants to redraw this large oil-producing land in the Middle East under Turkey's rule.
The Kurds want to establish the Kingdom of Kurdistan across the Black Sea, the Caspian Sea and the Mediterranean.
The Syrian authorities want to be the big brother.
The Iraqi authorities want to be the big brother.
The Iranian authorities also want to be the big brother.
Armenia wants to kill Azerbaijan, and Azerbaijan wants to kill Armenia.
Georgia wants to join the European Union.
Russia wants to control all these places.
America feels that everything in these places belongs to them, the Americans.
Israel is even more ruthless, the whole earth belongs to them.
Why is this broken place so chaotic?
Why has there been no unified country in Arab history?
Can the team he leads really rebuild Iraq?
At this moment, a question emerged in Jialimhai's mind.
He didn't know how to answer. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out. He could only sit helplessly on the chair, staring at the ceiling with his eyes blank.
There was nothing on the ceiling, it was clean.
After looking for a while, his eyes began to focus, and he began to think about where to put his people next, and how to make these people play the greatest role.
Just as he was thinking hard, the door of the office was pushed open, and the operator walked into the office with documents in both hands and said:
"Director, the news from Baghdad, the Baghdad Police Department asked us to send personnel to patrol the Kirkuk-Ceyhan oil pipeline."
"Prevent the Kurds from destroying the oil pipeline."
Putting down the documents respectfully, the operator slowly exited the office and closed the door.
However, before Kalim could look through the documents in front of him, the phone on his desk rang. He picked it up and found that it was a call from Baghdad.
But it was not from the police station, but from the Baghdad National Assembly, from the speaker of the parliament who was above ten thousand people.
"Kalim, I need you to do one thing, that is, when you inspect the Kirkuk-Ceyhan oil pipeline, find a way to destroy the pipeline in the Kurdish-controlled area."
"Don't destroy it too seriously, and control the degree of damage to the point where it can be repaired in half a month, so that we can take the opportunity to increase the price of oil."
"If the price of oil rises, our reconstruction committee can sell less oil and get more money, and we can build Iraq faster."
"Remember, you do this yourself, and don't let people leave a pretext, it's best to frame the Turks."
"Remember!"
The beep of the phone hanging up sounded, and Kalim also woke up from the news.
The first time he woke up, he cursed in his heart.
Damn politicians.
They are so evil.
But it's okay. The Kurds in the north have been getting money through this oil pipeline. Cutting off this oil pipeline will benefit everyone and make everyone sober.
After all, the so-called independence has been for money and interests from the beginning. If you can't even keep the existing interests, there is no way to talk about independence.
After standing in front of the map and planning, Kalim called the people from the Kirkuk Police Department and began to arrange relevant inspections.
He planned to assign the relevant blasting tasks to the special forces managed by Cavani.
Cavani is a professional in bombing oil fields.
However, before he told Cavani about the plan, a new news came from Turkey that afternoon.
The Turkish government announced that because the Kurds in northern Syria and northern Iraq launched attacks on Turkey.
Therefore, the Turkish government decided to close the oil pipeline in the port of Ceyhan.
The American side was very dissatisfied with this news. Their Mount Whitney amphibious command ship cruising in the Mediterranean was approaching the Aegean Sea.
After receiving this news, Kalim was instantly happy.
Turkey had inadvertently helped him attract firepower.
At this time, Cavani could lead the team to the Mosul area to blow up the pipeline, but he had to arrange the retreat route in advance.
While he was busy blasting the pipeline, Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.
King Said was on the phone, but the news from the other end was not good, which made the king jump up and down on the phone.
After a long time, he put down the phone, rubbed his temples, and then took out a satellite phone from the drawer and dialed a number on the satellite phone.
When the voice came from the other side, he couldn't wait to say to the other end of the satellite phone:
"Start reducing oil production!"
This sudden news caught the other side off guard. After a brief thought, the person on the other side asked doubtfully:
"Your Majesty Said, can you tell me why you want to implement this plan in advance?"
"Because the Americans won't sell me the improved model of F15, it's that simple." Said gave the reason, but this reason made the person on the other side not know how to react.
With Saudi Arabia's combat power, selling the improved model of F15 to them would be completely uncomfortable for yourself.
It will explode at that time.
The whole world will say, look at America's death, it can't even get a plane.
After several minutes, the person on the other side responded:
"Thank you for your support, Your Majesty the King. I will report this news to our Minister of Energy as soon as possible, and then let us synchronize this plan together."
The bilateral actions were very fast.
That afternoon, several different news came out from the Middle East and Russia from different angles.
[Saudi Arabia: Due to the chaos in the Middle East, especially the influence of Iran, we will reduce oil production. ]
[Iran: Due to the influence of Saudi Arabia, we decided to reduce oil production, but previous orders will not be affected. ]
[Russia: Due to technological upgrades, our oil production will decrease in the next one to two years. ]
