Volume 12 Prelude to the Great War Chapter 48 Middle East Raiders
;However, in the eyes of many people, the Republic’s Middle East strategy focuses on Iran. But people who invite Dansheng and resolve the situation in the Middle East have reason to believe that the Republic should never focus on Iran.
In a sense, Iran does not belong to the Middle East.
Since the era of Kiyouguo, the basic Middle East policy of the Republic is that the Middle East people manage Middle East affairs, and the "Middle Eastern people" in a narrow sense are Arabs. Because Iran is a country dominated by Persians, and in history, Persians and Arabs have always been in disagreement, Iran is not a real Middle East country. To put it bluntly, if Iran was not an Islamic country, it would have been excluded by Arab countries long ago. Under this circumstance, the Republic will definitely not be able to control the Middle East by supporting Iran.
In essence, if the Republic really wants to do this, it will never be able to replace the United States. For many Arab countries, the Jews are enemies and the Persians are also enemies. Instead of risking support for Iran to dominate, it is better to maintain the status quo. It is true that for decades, the Republic and Iran have always maintained a close and dispensable relationship. In the words of Al Jazeera, in the Republic's alliance system, Iran is the most irrelevant link. In fact, for many years, the Republic has attached great importance to Arab countries.
.
There is no need to say much about Syria. Without the help of the Republic, it is impossible to achieve the current construction achievements.
Regarding Egypt, the Republic has always adopted a goodwill policy, that is, regardless of Egypt's diplomatic tendencies, the Republic will try its best to meet as long as there are requirements. Not to mention other things, among many Arab countries, Egypt can always buy the Republic's advanced weapons and equipment in time at the lowest price.
In the words of American arms dealers, in order to win over Egypt, the Republic provided arms to Egypt through dumping, which made Western arms dealers unable to compete with the Republic's arms dealers. For example, in previous years, Egypt planned to purchase an advanced fighter jet, replacing an old series of light multi-purpose fighters that had served in the Egyptian Air Force for many years, and used it with the small series of fighters purchased in the year to conduct global bidding; because winning this contract is equivalent to maintaining a decades-long alliance with Egypt, and it is a political
To manage the mission, the US federal government gave Lockheed Martin a billion dollars in subsidies, allowing Lockheed Martin to sell a series of light multi-purpose fighter jets to Egypt at the lowest price; the problem is that when the official bid was formally bid, Lockheed Martin still lost to AVIC. The reason is very simple. Due to US laws, Lockheed Martin can only provide fighter jets to Egypt by exporting the entire aircraft, and AVIC can sell small production lines and production patents, and promise to help Egyptian aircraft factories train technical workers.
In addition to selling arms, the Republic is also actively strengthening its cooperative relations with Egypt. Not to mention, Egypt is the fourth largest overseas tourist destination for citizens of the Republic. The Republic is Egypt's largest source of tourists. In Lili alone, Republic tourists with a population of 0 million visitors went to see Egypt's pyramids and sphinxes, providing Egypt with a near-sided tourism income and more than 40,000 jobs. To be honest, the money Egypt used to buy arms is basically provided by Republic tourists.
The main reason why the Egyptian authorities tend toward the Republic in terms of basic policies is that the Republic is willing to export more advanced technologies. For example, in the year of tying the thugs, the Republic's private automobile company established the first electric vehicle production line in the Middle East in Egypt. Just three years later, Egypt changed from an electric vehicle importer to an exporter. By the year of Lihuan, Egypt was already the largest electric vehicle exporter in the Middle East. The electric vehicles it produced were sold to many nearby countries and successfully sold to the Republic. Because electric vehicles have been popularized, the Republic has maintained three major brands in the past years and has
In addition to several high-end brands, the electric vehicle industry is no longer produced ordinary electric vehicles, but instead developed the electric vehicle industry by designing, developing new technologies and exporting key equipment. In fact, the fundamental reason why the Republic transferred the electric vehicle industry abroad was a serious shortage of labor. Some industrial segments with low added value must be placed abroad, and the industrial segments with the highest added value, that is, the industrial segments with the highest requirements for technology and skills are placed in China. According to data released by the Egyptian authorities, the electric vehicle catering industry alone has created about 10,000 jobs for Egypt, allowing nearly 40,000 Egyptians with tens of thousands of families to have food and clothing.
In addition to Egypt, the Republic is also working to improve relations with other Arab countries.
Before the Cong Nian, when oil still has important value, the Republic opened the door to many oil countries for its own weapons and equipment through several beautiful local wars. For example, before the Tian Nian, Saudi Arabia purchased arms worth more than RMB 10, including advanced fighter jets, unique electric submarines, and a large number of main battle tanks. Although in a sense, wealthy Arab countries such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the UAE and Qatar purchased arms from the Republic, not to use this to form an alliance with the Republic, but to use the Republic's influence to balance the United States' hegemony in the Middle East and thus safeguard their own interests. In fact, Qatar's Al Jazeera has always supported the Republic in public opinion, which is an attitude of the Arab world. However, this active arms sales have also greatly enhanced the Republic and Arab countries'
Strictly speaking, after the Libian Year, the relationship between many wealthy Gulf countries and the Republic has entered its honeymoon period.
As the controlled fusion nuclear power plant was officially fully commercialized, the value of oil plummeted, and international oil prices fell within one year. It can be said that after the Republic announced that it could export control fusion nuclear power plant according to actual conditions, oil became worthless. Under this circumstance, many wealthy Gulf countries had a hard time.
Like Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar, the population of Bahrain and Qatar is only 10,000 yuan. Relying on the wealth accumulated, as long as the sovereign investment funds are carefully managed, citizens of these countries can live a life of no worries in the next few years. For example, Kuwait's sovereign investment funds were more than one trillion US dollars, and the profit was made in that year. After deducting the global average inflation rate, achieving a net income of 10,000 yuan. On average, each Kuwait can get 10,000 US dollars, while the global average income was less than 10,000 US dollars that year, and the average income of the most developed industrial countries was only 10,000 US dollars.
The problem is that "big powers" like Saudi Arabia and the UAE cannot rely entirely on sovereign investment funds.
By the 0th year of the Secret, Saudi Arabia's official citizens exceeded Liewan. Although the total size of several sovereign investment funds controlled by the Saudi government and the royal family is actually different from the Saudi government and the royal family. The total size of the sovereign investment funds controlled by the Saudi government and the royal family is close to the trillion US dollars. The annual income is around the hospital, equivalent to the annual net income of 400 million US dollars, but on the average, each Saudi is less than 30,000 US dollars. There is no doubt that according to the price standard of the 1990 century, the per capita income of US$30,000 can only be considered a developing country, and a relatively poor developing country. Although this income can ensure that most Saudis live a worry-free life, this is definitely not enough for the Saudi royal family. According to the estimates of an international organization, if the Saudi royal family cannot find a way to increase national income, it will happen to Saudi Arabia.
It was in this situation that Saudi Arabia welcomed the most accomplished crown prince in history, namely the "Fertilizer Prince".
Saudi Arabia was able to embark on the road of industrialization and achieve relatively great achievements. In 2018, Saudi Arabia's per capita income exceeded the old ten thousand US dollars. It still belongs to developed countries, with at least 80,000 US dollars contributed by the chemical industry. A very critical reason is that Saudi Arabia chose to cooperate with the Republic in economic terms rather than cooperate with the United States. To put it simply, the Saudi crown prince was able to vigorously develop the chemical industry mainly based on fertilizer production. It is because the Republic needs a large amount of imported fertilizers. According to the data released by the Saudi authorities at the beginning of the year, the four fertilizers produced by Saudi Arabia were actually imported into the Republic and sold to India. Although Saudi Arabia and the Republic have had many conflicts in terms of fertilizer prices. For example, the Republic has made every effort to help Iraq establish a chemical industry chain in recent years, in order to make Saudi Arabia hand over the pricing power of fertilizers, in general, the relationship between the two sides is still very close.
In fact, the Republican government has been encouraging policy to comprehensively use Arab countries such as Saudi Arabia.
.
For example, at the beginning of the year of 100% of the year, Gu Weimin proposed a national strategic development plan called "green mountains and green waters" by the people in the second year of his reign. According to this plan, "before the field year, that is, when the population decreases to 800 million, the natural coverage rate of more than 8 gills will be achieved, including forests, grasslands, rivers, lakes, mountains, deserts, etc. In other words, the land occupied and used by man-made will be controlled below the land area of peas. In order to achieve this goal, the area of arable land and pasture must be reduced in large quantities. Although according to the solution proposed by the State Council, it is mainly relied on "industrial agricultural production" to solve the problem of grain.
Food problems, but through practice in India, there are still some serious problems in "industrial agricultural production", and before these problems are solved, agricultural production is still inseparable from land. That is to say, the efficiency of land utilization must be improved. Although by two bad years, with only 800 million people and the increase in agricultural unit output, the arable land area in the Republic can be reduced to less than 800 million mu, as the first resource of life, if you want to continue to improve the living standards of people, the total agricultural output will definitely not be reduced. In fact, by the time of this, the average annual grain consumption of the Republic has exceeded the 100 million kilograms.
In other words, the Republic's demand for food is still very huge. Under this circumstance, the Republic's demand for chemical fertilizers has definitely increased. The problem is that it is clearly mentioned in the "green mountains and green waters" that will damage the environment and difficult to control industrial projects must be fully cleaned up, and even high-value-added industries must be transferred abroad. In addition, in the Likou year, Yuki Youguo proposed the "Science and Technology Prosperity Strategy." The Republic has no reason to establish large chemical enterprises. In fact, before Gu Weimin came to power, except for explosives manufacturers that are closely related to national defense, other chemical enterprises have been transferred abroad. For example, the chemical factory that specializes in providing liquid hydrogen and liquid itch for aerospace launches was located in Daubuguzhai, Vietnam. It can be seen that the "green mountains and green waters" project made the Republic's citizens' drums suddenly and benefited many Middle Eastern countries a lot.
In the words of some Western news media, the Republic adopts the "economic kidnapping" strategy for Arab countries in the Gulf region. Whether it is Saudi Arabia, the UAE, or even Iraq, which is developing national infrastructure, as long as it fully relies on the Republic in terms of economy, it will not be an enemy of the Republic.
In fact, ordinary Westerners cannot see the fundamental purpose of the Republic's series of measures.
Mu Yong doubted that the politicians in the West would definitely see it.
From a different perspective, we can find that whether it is a policy for Iran, Egypt, or Saudi Arabia and other countries, the purpose of the republic authorities is very clear, that is, to promote the Arab world towards unification.
In a sense, the Republic supports Iran not to deal with Israel. After all, Iran and Israel are not at all connected, with Iraq and Syria between them, but to create a second pressure on the Arab world and make many Arab countries believe that even if Israel is finished, Iran will become their next enemy. The direct benefit of doing so is to keep the Middle East stable for many years before the century, and there is no large-scale war breaking out. Another advantage is to make many Arab countries consider the feelings of the Republic when considering cooperation with the United States. This opens the door for the Republic to participate in Middle East affairs.
The problem is that the Republic has no reason to support the second Arab Empire.
In the long run, after the Arab world completes unification, the republic will also become a victim. After all, a powerful Arab country will never tolerate other countries interfering in Middle Eastern affairs, just as Russia will not allow other countries to interfere in Ukraine and the Caucasus, and Europe will not let other countries attack North Africa. But look closer. In the foreseeable future, a unified Arab world, to be precise, with the help of the republic, the Arab countries that have completed great unification with the help of the republic is definitely an ally of the republic, not an enemy of the republic. In any case, when dealing with the threat of the Western world, the Arab world will not regard the republic that is far away from the other end of Asia as an enemy.
Of course, it is very difficult to unify the Arab world.
Not to mention, many Arab countries are not consistent in their development levels, and even brother countries cannot achieve unification when they have different levels of wealth. To put it bluntly, there is not much difference in the level of security development in European countries. They have been working hard for decades to move towards unification.
To this end, the Republic has been promoting the economic development of Arab countries for many years.
The question is, whether the republic authorities recognize that while helping Arab countries establish a peaceful and prosperous Middle East, the leaders of the republic must consider a very realistic issue. That is, if peaceful means cannot be used to unify the Arab world into a governmental peace and peace, is there any need to use other means?
In other words, whether to help Arab countries achieve unification through war?
When considering this issue, the leaders of the Republic were shocked to think more deeply. That is, can an epic war on Arab unity bring benefits to the Republic and how much benefits can it bring?
Mo Yong doubted it and wanted to go deeper, the problem would be complicated.
There is only one thing that is, if the republic authorities believe that a war of unity in the Arab world is beneficial to the republic, then when taking action, the first thing to do is to establish a center for the Arab world, a center that is attractive enough. From this perspective, we can find that the Republic has carefully "worked" in Syria for decades in order to make Syria such a center. The problem is that Syria has not strong appeal in the Arab world. Therefore, the republic needs to maintain close relations with Egypt.
In any case, Egypt has always been a powerful country in the Arab world. The problem is that Egypt has long lost its ambition and fighting spirit to unify the Arab world. Moreover, the Egyptian authorities are willing to deal with the Republic and the United States, and it is impossible for them to actively cooperate. For this reason, the Republic needs to use wealthy countries in the Gulf region and need to control these countries through economic means. However, there are two key links in the Arab chain from the Suez Canal to the Strait of Hormuz. One is Iraq and the other is Jordan.
Because Jordan is a small country in the Arab world, the key lies in Iraq.
Mu Yong doubted that an Iraq controlled by Iran would never be the center of the Arab world, nor could it be the banner of unification. In fact, since the Shiites came to power, Iraq has separated from the Arab world and is more like a shameful country controlled by the Persians.
It can be seen from this that the Republic must make a difference in Iraq. The address of this website has been changed to: Aigu, Zhou, please log in to read!
This is also true. In recent years, the Republic has invested more capital in Iraq than in Iran. Moreover, the Republican authorities have transformed Iraq's state power system at any cost. First, they have undergone major operations on Iraq's national defense power, that is, the most powerful compulsory organization in the entire country.
According to Pei Chengyi's understanding, the Republic's actions in Iraq have one purpose, that is, to turn Iraq into a model of the Arab world!
