Military industrial hegemony

Chapter 1262 The war ends and the third stage begins

Under the attack of multinational forces, Babylon's attitude gradually softened. On February 2, Babylon announced its willingness to accept Security Council Resolution 15, conditionally withdrawing its troops from Kovet. On the 660th, the Soviet Union put forward four peace proposals, and the bearded leader agreed. On the 19nd, the Soviet Union further proposed the Babylonian withdrawal plan: the withdrawal would start one day after the ceasefire and be completed within 22 days.However, the expected goal was not achieved. The old US insisted on non-fire, no negotiation, and no concessions. Bush Sr. issued an ultimatum to the bearded leader: the troops must be withdrawn at 21:23 GMT on the 17rd. The ultimatum, the bearded leader who was more stubborn or desperate for face, rejected this deadline.

At 24 o'clock local time on February 4, 500, the multinational forces launched a ground attack.Five offensive groups were launched from east to west on the front of the border between Saudi Arabia and Babylon about 5 kilometers: the Eastern Front Joint Force formed by the Gulf countries attacked northward along the coast and occupied the capital of Kovet; the first land battle of the old United States The expeditionary force attacked northward from the "elbow" of the Shako border, captured the Mutra Pass, cut off the road from the capital of Kove to the northeast of Kove, and attracted the main force of the Babylonian army to Kove.The northern joint forces of the Gulf countries attacked from the western section of the Shakot border to the direction of Ali Semem Airport, and cooperated with the neighboring forces to eliminate the Iraqi army in Kovet and occupy the capital of Kovet.

The Seventh Army of the United States carried out a major assault, advancing from the west of the Wadi Batin to the north, penetrating into the depths of Babylon, and then marching eastward.Cooperating with the No.18 Airborne Army on its left, the Babylonian National Guard, about eight divisions, and the most elite troops in Babylon, were surrounded and annihilated in the area south of Basra.The No.18 Airborne Army of the United States carried out an auxiliary assault, broke into Babylon from the border between Saudi Arabia and Babylon to the bank of the Euphrates River, controlled the No. 8 road from the east of Samawah to the capital of Babylon, isolated the Babylonian army in Kovet, and coordinated The US Seventh Army annihilates the Babylonian National Guard.

The Babylonian army mistakenly believed that the main attack direction of the multinational forces was in Kovet, so they assembled heavy troops on the coast of Kove and the border between Kove and Sat, leaving only one division for defense on the long border between Babylon and Sat.The old American 1st Air Assault Division, No.80 29nd Airborne Division, and the French "Baby" Division quickly broke through the southern area of ​​Babylon and cut off the Babylonian army's retreat.The Babylonian army was quickly defeated across the board, and about [-] divisions were incapacitated.

Faced with such a result, the bearded leader had to accept it whether he wanted it or not. On the 26th, he ordered the Babylonian army stationed in Kovet to retreat to their previous positions within one day, and announced that Kovet was no longer the 19th province of Babylon.At the same time, Babylon expressed its unconditional acceptance of the 12 UN Security Council resolutions on Iraq.

Under such circumstances, Bush Sr. believed that after such a major defeat, the downfall of the bearded leader was inevitable.In order to avoid causing greater casualties to the multinational forces, and at the same time retain a certain amount of military strength for Babylon, whose bearded leader has stepped down, to contain Persia, which has always been hostile to the US, and maintain the balance of power in the Gulf region, Bush Sr. decided to stop the attack. On the 26th, Bush Sr. announced that at 28 o'clock local time on the 8th in the Gulf, the multinational forces would stop fighting.

And in a villa facing the lake in the Nanshan District of China in the east, it is very busy.

"Mr. Jiang, just received the latest news from B*C. The Babylonian army began to rout from Kovet, and during the rout, it ignited a large number of oil and gas fields in Kovet, plus these sky raids and wars , and there are a lot of oil and gas fields in Kovet and Babylon, as well as other similar pipelines and ports that have been damaged. In addition, the oil tankers that sailed and stopped in Babylon to the Gulf these days were sunk, so this makes The number of oil tankers entering the Gulf for oil and gas transportation has decreased significantly. Affected by this, news has just come back from the world's four major crude oil trading centers."

Wu Ran reported to Jiang Chen: "The price of light crude oil on the Commodity Exchange was affected by this news, and it just soared to US$54 a barrel. The price of Brent crude oil on the Wudu International Petroleum Exchange was affected by this news." Affected by this news, it skyrocketed to US$52 a barrel. Affected by this news, the price of Middle East crude oil on the Sing Tao Exchange just soared to US$57 a barrel. The Waguo Dongdu Industrial Products Exchange opened on the morning of the 59th. Affected by this news, the price of light crude oil has just skyrocketed to US$[-] a barrel."

"Moreover, I feel affected by this, the current price will continue to increase, and it is expected that the final price may exceed 65 US dollars a barrel. And because of these good news for the oil futures market, there will be more and more The funds have entered the market, and several funds we know have invested a lot of money. After Wu Ran finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Chen."

Jiang Chen didn't reply after listening, but looked at the rising trend graph drawn on the blackboard, and then pondered.After smoking a cigarette for a while, Jiang Chen said in a loud voice: "From now on, stop increasing your holdings, and then withdraw from the various trading centers in batches. The action must be fast and secretive, and other People quickly sensed our intentions."

"What, get out! Brother Chen, are you thinking about it? It's hot right now, and people are throwing money into it. It's good for you, start to withdraw." Dongzi jumped up and said emotionally.

Wu Ran on the side also nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Jiang, we just have to wait until the price rises to more than sixty dollars before throwing it away. It's a pity to withdraw under such a good situation."

"You know a hammer!" Jiang Chen glared at Dongzi and said to Wu Ran, "This is an order, execute it immediately, send a message to Laomei, and ask them to do it immediately. In addition, leave some funds and start buying and selling , I want to snipe these giant crocodiles, and want to follow me to reduce the benefits, there is no way!"

Seeing Jiang Chen's firm attitude, Wu Ran had no choice but to nod and make arrangements.As for the working staff, seeing that the boss of the fund wanted to do this, although they felt it was a pity, they could only do so, so everyone started to panic.

And it didn't take long before, as Jiang Chen expected, Wu Ran's voice came: "Mr. Jiang, Mr. Xu (glasses) is on the phone."

"Oh, it really is calling, take it!" Jiang Chen smiled.

""Brother Chen, are you kidding me? "" asked the first sentence from the glasses.

Jiang Chenwen smiled slightly, "You've known me for so long, you think I'd joke about such an important matter."

"The current market is very good, and I need a reason to do this." Glasses was puzzled.

"The reason, my intuition is the reason. When people start chasing something, it means that it is not far from decline. Do as I say, and then start the third stage of combat." Jiang Chen ordered .

"Understood, I will follow your orders. But Brother Chen, these people are veterans who have spent their entire lives in this field. Can we count them?" Glasses said worriedly .

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Hehe, how will you know if you don't try? They are just the sunset that is about to end, but we are the scorching sun at noon!"
