The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

The Kurds are distributed in Iraq, Syria, Türkiye and Iran.

Among them, there are 500 million in Iraq, 130 million in Syria, 1400 million in Turkey, and 600 million in Persia, a total of 2630 million.

After the Kurdish armed forces established the Kurdish state, in addition to the nominal territory in Iraq, they also made territorial claims to the Kurdish regions of Persia, Turkey and Syria.

In Syria, the Kurds claim 5000 square kilometers of territory, which are where the Kurds live.

The territory claimed by the Kurds is the largest in Türkiye, reaching 12.5 square kilometers.

This made Türkiye extremely dissatisfied and even angry.

Turkey contributed the largest number of troops in the Iraq War, even more than the United States, but what it gained was barely as much as its losses, without even a large oil field. Now, the Kurds are actually demanding territory.

What makes Turkey even more angry is that the Americans had previously armed the Kurds in Turkey. These 12.5 square kilometers of territory are under the control of the Kurdish armed forces. The Kurds took advantage of that opportunity to build military camps and fortifications, making it impossible for Turkey to strike against the Kurdish armed forces as before.

We must also guard against Kurdish armed forces moving north and opening up a passage to the Black Sea.

Liu Tao sometimes feels that the Americans are being very unfair this time. Turkey paid so much and put in so much effort in the Iraq War, but now it may face the situation of losing a large amount of territory.

Of course, now the Kurdish Republic is only recognized by the United States and its allies. Most countries do not recognize the Kurdish Republic.

Even Türkiye does not recognize it and has not yet established diplomatic relations with Kurdish Germany.

Liu Tao returned to Beijing this time not for Syria, but for Venezuela and Persia.

Venezuela is related to the overall situation in South America and the development of Chinese companies abroad.

Once a decision is made, the entire policy will last for ten or even twenty years.

And Persia is one of the most important players in the Middle East!

Once upon a time, during the Pahlavi dynasty, Persia was the most powerful country in the Middle East and gained hegemony over the Gulf. At that time, Persia was the most important ally of the United States in the Middle East.

The United States and Persia were close allies at the time. The United States even exported the newly commissioned F-14 fighter jets to Persia, and the Persian Air Force was also trained by the United States.

At that time, the United States used Persia as a strategic fulcrum to exert great influence on the Middle East.

It can be said that Persia played a huge role in the United States' successful implementation of the "petrodollar" settlement system.

After all, Persia was the most powerful country in the Middle East at that time. It was also the world's fourth largest oil producer and second largest exporter. Persia had a great influence in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and had a strong voice.

However, with the overthrow of the Pahlavi dynasty, the new regime had many dirty dealings with the United States, and the relationship between the two sides became increasingly strained, to the point that it was like a dead end.

However, there have always been pro-American factions within Persia, but this pro-American force has always been suppressed.

However, with the United States' victory in the Iraq War, its influence in the Middle East also spread to Persia. The pro-American faction that had been suppressed within Persia rose up again, intending to restore Persia to the state of the Pahlavi dynasty before 1978 and make Persia a staunch ally of the United States in the Middle East.

This made the conflicts and struggles within Persia more intense.

United States.

George Wharton convenes a cabinet meeting.

After starting his second term, without the pressure of re-election, George Wharton seemed to be more free-spirited and did not need to worry too much about other things.

Except for the outbreak of the Seventh Middle East War, which made George Wharton extremely annoyed, everything else made George Wharton quite happy.

He has even received news that he will win the Nobel Peace Prize for promoting a politically negotiated solution to the Seventh Middle East War.

It is quite speechless that a man who started two wars and the wars are still going on can win the Nobel Peace Prize. George Wharton is in a good mood.

The Seventh Middle East War was resolved, and the benefits he gained were enormous.

A batch of newly issued U.S. Treasury bonds were successfully sold at very low interest rates.

The credit for this naturally goes to the Jews.

And this is the price paid by Israel, or the Jewish people.

The Jews are so rich!

Not only in the United States, but also in European countries, Jews are financial elites and have great influence in European countries.

Driven by the Jews, not only did the Jews buy a large number of U.S. Treasury bonds, but many European countries also bought a batch of U.S. Treasury bonds.

This allowed George Wharton's government to function better.

George Wharton could even raise the salaries of U.S. government employees.

After the United States won the Iraq War, its economy began to improve and the inflation rate declined.

If there were no restrictions, George Walton would have wanted to launch quantitative easing, print a large amount of dollars, and devalue the dollar.

The depreciation of the US dollar is something the whole world has to pay for.

But now, times have changed, and the United States has to consider something.

"Why hasn't that bastard Saddam been caught yet? When can he be caught?" said George Walton.

His eyes turned to CIA Director Goss and Defense Secretary Rumsfeld.

Rumsfeld, the Secretary of Defense appointed by George Walton, is a hawkish representative in the cabinet and the most influential politician and military strategist in the United States.

Goss was appointed as CIA director by George Wharton for his second term and was in charge of the CIA.

It was also under Goss's operation that the CIA's funding increased significantly.

As for how much money goes into everyone's pocket, it is a secret that cannot be told.

George Walton now wants to know when Saddam and Bin Laden can be caught!
Only when Saddam is captured, tried and hanged, can the Iraq War truly end. And only when Bin Laden is captured and sentenced in the United States, can the US war on terror be declared over.

And now, both of them are alive and well, which makes George Wharton very unhappy.

After occupying the core areas of Iraq, the oil company controlled by George Walton's family acquired a large number of oil fields.

Even more, because a large number of oil fields were auctioned off, the US government gained a huge amount of wealth.

So far, the war has not been fought quickly or even profitably.

As for what happens next, that is the business of those oil companies. Even some US troops have already withdrawn from Iraq.

Iraq alone does not need so many American troops.

Moreover, part of the tasks are also handed over to security companies such as Blackwater.

After all, if you want to make money, you have to make money together. There is no end to making money. If you want to get more support, you have to make money with everyone. (End of this chapter)
