The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 730: The Tradition of the US Army

The commanders of other countries watched with great interest that Schwarzkopf was besieged, and they were secretly happy in their hearts. They hoped that a fight would break out quickly, and it would be best if Schwarzkopf was beaten into a pig's head.

All the countries here came willingly, but not all countries are willing to donate voluntarily.

They were all forced!

Look at how comfortable other Arab countries are, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other countries pay out of their own pockets to arm Egypt, Syria and other countries, while they have to carry their own equipment.

During this period, the United States has sent two teams to lobby everywhere, hoping that they will increase their donations.

Even at the cost of wielding a big stick.

But everyone was having a hard time, and the landlord had no spare money.

Finally, they were forced to do nothing and included the weapons, equipment and supplies in the calculation as additional donations.

There have been promises to increase donations, but in reality they only agreed on the surface and have dragged their feet until now without paying the money. In fact, they just don't want to pay the money.

During this period, the Americans have been waving the big stick and threatening them, saying that if they do not fight this war, they will have to face high international crude oil prices of US$50 per barrel, or even US$100 per barrel.

The oil price of $50 per barrel has already made countries such as Europe and the United States cry out.

Not to mention $100 per barrel.

Looking at this period of time, West Germany and other European countries, which one was not diligent in visiting the Soviet Union, constantly offering courtesy and warmth.

This time, it is also called the third oil crisis.

Almost all countries in Europe feel the importance of energy.

Fortunately, the Soviet Union’s oil and natural gas pipelines to Europe are about to be completed.

Europe is about to have a stable energy supply.

Schwarzkopf's face turned pale. These damn white-robed bearded men were so abominable that they didn't even give him any face.

The commanders from countries such as Britain and France were also very hateful. They watched him being beaten without helping and just stood there watching the show.

Where are the good brothers and good friends we promised each other?!
This is what good brothers and good friends are?!

This is the ally! ?

"We will discuss this issue later. Will you, Saudi Arabia, release our captured soldiers?" Schwarzkopf said.

At this point, Schwarzkopf became a little angry.

They came to Saudi Arabia to save Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the Arab world.

As a result, hundreds of their own soldiers were captured before the battle even started!
Is this how the Saudis treat the U.S. military, their savior?

"Schwarzkopf, you dare to say this! Shameless! I am ashamed of you Americans!" Khalid was immediately annoyed and pointed at Schwarzkopf and said, "Look at your American soldiers. Their military discipline is corrupt. It has only been a short time since they came to Saudi Arabia, but they are already drinking and making trouble, and molesting women."

Khalid's eyes were blazing with fire.

During this period, the US military acted recklessly, and none of the hundreds of arrested US soldiers were innocent.

Drinking, making trouble, and fighting resulted in the deaths of several Saudis and the injuries of thousands.

What's even worse is that these damn American soldiers are so horny that they can even rape elementary school students.

Once the news was exposed, it caused an uproar.

This forced Saudi Arabia to send troops to strengthen patrols to maintain social order.

Now Schwarzkopf has the nerve to demand the release of these captured American soldiers.

Now the whole of Saudi Arabia is demanding severe punishment for these captured American soldiers.

The Americans proposed compensation, but the problem is that Saudi Arabia is not short of money!

The two sides had another quarrel over this matter!
Two hours later.

Schwarzkopf slumped down and regretted ever applying for the job.

He was completely exhausted. There were hundreds of thousands of American troops, and he had to do a lot of things, and he also had to coordinate with commanders from various countries.

However, the fine tradition of the US military made him very passive.

This incident was criticized in Saudi Arabia and the image of the US military was not good at all.

When the news reached the United States, the American people were even more dissatisfied. They believed that the US military was going to act as saviors, so wasn't it normal for them to do such a romantic thing? Not to mention that the US military was going out to have fun, shouldn't Saudi Arabia take the initiative to organize it?

Look at the US troops in Japan, South Korea and other countries every year. Isn't it too little? But do they dare to arrest US troops?
The US military is helping them improve their racial genes and drive the development of the entertainment industry.

But instead of being grateful, the Saudis even dared to sentence the captured American soldiers.

How can this not make the American people angry?

Then some people accused the commander Schwarzkopf of being incompetent.

Schwarzkopf sometimes thought that if the Arab coalition was not so powerful, and for the sake of the overall situation, he would just give Saudi Arabia a new world.

A military camp.

There are 50,000 troops stationed here.

"1-2-3-4"

Teams of soldiers are conducting training.

Li Fuguo accompanied Prince Sultan to inspect the military camp.

All eighty thousand mercenaries were under his jurisdiction.

After a few months, Li Fuguo had a very clear understanding of the Arab coalition.

That's not a regular army at all!
Therefore, mercenaries were responsible for training the Arab coalition forces.

During this period, the military observation group has been continuously observing and analyzing, thereby obtaining useful information.

The military situation in European and American countries also gave the military observation group a clearer understanding.

Although European and American countries, except the United States, have not sent many troops, we can still get a glimpse of the situation.

This kind of opportunity is very rare.

"Li, your training is very effective. We Saudis are very grateful to you!" Prince Sultan said with satisfaction.

Prince Sultan knew what these soldiers were like at the beginning. They could not even stand in line, let alone march in step.

Now it has taken shape.

"Your Highness, we mercenaries are performing our duties according to the contract. Since there is such employment, we will do our best!" Li Fuguo smiled faintly.

Mercenaries were paid much more, and the soldiers were willing to do it.

During this period, the mercenaries' reputation and popularity increased greatly throughout the Arab world.

Maybe after this battle, mercenaries will have more business.

"Li, how do you think we should fight this battle?" said Prince Sultan.

After a period of contact, Prince Sultan still admires Li Fuguo very much.

At least he believed that no Saudi commander could compare to Li Fuguo.

More importantly, Prince Sultan did not want Kuwait to be destroyed. If that happened, the post-war reconstruction would require a huge investment, and Kuwait would have to live in a tight spot for at least several years.

Saudi Arabia does not want the power of the Arab world to be weakened.

During this period, because of the United States, Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries have been constantly calling for Arab integration. Private scholars are discussing that the Arab world should learn from Europe. As Europe is moving towards integration, the Arab world should also move towards integration. The entire Arab world should send a unified voice to the outside world. With a rich world, all Arab countries can live a prosperous life.

Although integration is very difficult, even European integration has not yet taken important steps towards economic and military integration. The Arab world still has a long way to go to achieve integration, but there is always hope!
