The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Shencheng.

The first Northeast Asia Summit was held successfully.

Media around the world are focusing on this Northeast Asia Summit to discuss its significance and the changes it will bring to the world landscape.

Since the wave of economic globalization swept the world, countries in all regions have gradually realized the importance of initiating a new level of cooperation and building all-round cooperative relations.

Under such circumstances, even the United States could not rely on its own economy to compete, so it established the North American Free Trade Area.

Arab countries are setting up the Arab League.

华夏则是在牵头搞东盟10+1、南亚14+1、东北亚一体化、中亚5+1。

The ASEAN 10+1 and South Asia 14+1 mechanisms have been very effective, constantly breaking down regional barriers and achieving in-depth development.

And now, the first summit on Northeast Asian integration has finally been held, which is undoubtedly a huge step forward and a substantial progress.

Some even believe that if it were not for the influence of the United States, this summit would have been held a few years ago.

The seven-day Northeast Asia Summit has hot news every day.

Finally, the participating parties issued a Joint Declaration and established a bilateral partnership of good-neighborliness and mutual trust.

The parties will cooperate in five key areas: agriculture, human resources development, mutual investment, information and communications, and marine resource development.

It was also determined that the Northeast Asia Summit will be held every year, consisting of a summit meeting, a ministerial meeting, a senior management meeting and a working-level meeting.

Liu Tao had just returned to Panshan Group when a piece of news came.

Civil war breaks out in Lebanon and Syria!
Liu Tao sighed softly, feeling a little surprised, but also expected.

Originally, there were rebel forces in Lebanon and Syria, and Israel had been operating in Lebanon, Syria, and Palestine for a long time.

The fifth Middle East war was pushed back, but that does not mean that all influence was expelled.

The Sixth Middle East War broke out more between Palestine and Israel, with Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon and Syria all playing an auxiliary role.

Now that the Americans have won the Iraq War, hundreds of thousands of troops are in Iraq, and the impact this has on the Middle East is enormous.

This can be seen from the fact that Israel has once again regained its status as the "little bully of the Middle East".

The current occupation of cities by rebel forces in Lebanon and Syria is nothing more than a spillover effect of the Iraq War.

The Americans and the Jews will certainly find ways to destroy the Arab League.

The Arab League has brought too much pressure to the Jews, and the Americans do not want to see the Arab League truly move towards integration. That would be enough to make it a world power with hegemony over the Gulf, the Red Sea, and the Arabian Sea.

The civil wars that broke out in Lebanon and Syria are internal affairs of Lebanon and Syria, and it is difficult for the Arab coalition forces to get involved.

Even if the Arab coalition forces intervene in the civil war at the invitation of the Lebanese and Syrian governments, it would still be a dispersion of forces and a waste of money, food and manpower for the Arab coalition forces.

The Americans will also have an excuse to intervene in the civil wars in Lebanon and Syria.

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his wife visited Saudi Arabia.

Also visiting Saudi Arabia was Lebanese President Najmi.

The Saudi king received them personally.

The two sides visited Saudi Arabia to seek help. Syria has proven oil reserves of 25 billion barrels and natural gas reserves of 6500 billion cubic meters. It is basically self-sufficient in oil and natural gas, and can export 1000 million barrels of oil and 3 million cubic meters of natural gas every year.

This is Syria's main source of export income.

The second is the export of phosphate and rock salt. Syria's phosphate reserves are as high as 6.5 million tons and rock salt reserves are as high as 5500 million tons.

Syria is not a wealthy country, and its national social welfare is far inferior to that of Saudi Arabia.

The Syrian rebel forces have a total of 8000 people, equipped with weapons and equipment, and have now occupied a city.

Bashar al-Assad has sent government troops to encircle and suppress the rebel forces.

But Bashar al-Assad knows that Israel and the Americans are behind this.

We can’t rely on Syria alone, we need allies.

Fighting a war costs money!

As the saying goes, a cannon shot is worth a fortune, and this is not just talk.

Given Syria's financial situation, it is impossible to go to war.

Once a large-scale war breaks out, the current good situation in Syria will be ruined and it will become like before again.

This was also the time when Syria was at its weakest. Syria had previously provided Iraq with a large amount of weapons and equipment.

Although part of it was purchased by Iraq, it is certain that we will not get the money from Saddam now.

The missile positions deployed by Syria in the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon have always been regarded as a thorn in Israel's side.

Now the missile positions in the Bekaa Valley include not only 19 Sadam missile positions, but also Aegis missile positions and Scud missile positions, which are a sword hanging over Israel's head.

Lebanon is in the same situation as Syria.

Lebanon has a variety of terrains, with more than 50% of the area being mountains with an altitude of more than 3000 meters. The Lebanese Mountains gradually rise from south to north, until the peak named after the cedar reaches an altitude of more than meters. Lebanon has many rivers and no Gobi or desert. The Bekaa Valley is Lebanon's granary.

Lebanon has rich reserves of oil and natural gas, with proven oil reserves of 15 billion barrels and proven natural gas reserves of 9000 billion cubic meters.

However, Lebanon has only recently restored peace. Apart from meeting its own needs, only a small portion of the oil and natural gas it extracts can be exported, which is not enough to make Lebanon as wealthy as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and other countries.

The Lebanese rebel forces this time have a clear Israeli influence.

When the rebellion broke out, the Lebanese and Syrian government forces immediately strengthened the defense of the Golan Heights and were wary of Israel.

The Golan Heights is located at the junction of Israel, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon. The total area is about 1200 to 1800 square kilometers, with an average altitude of 1000 meters. The highest peak, Mount Hermon, is 2814 meters above sea level.

During the third Middle East war, Israel occupied the Golan Heights. In the fifth Middle East war, Israel was driven out of the Golan Heights.

During the Sixth Middle East War, Israel attempted to retake the Golan Heights, but several attacks were thwarted.

The reason why Israel has never given up on the Golan Heights is because the Golan Heights is located in a commanding position and can overlook the Galilee Valley in Israel.

Setting up artillery and missile positions in the Golan Heights can cover the entire Israel. All parts of Israel are under the attack of the artillery and missile positions in the Golan Heights.

The importance of the Golan Heights can be imagined!

On the contrary, once Israel controls the Golan Heights, it will have an additional natural barrier, and there are plenty of water sources here! (End of this chapter)
