Bush did not mention that Iran was not warm to Iran, but that Iran's assets in the United States had long been confiscated. Just when the Iranian revolution was in conflict, there were no assets for Bush to freeze. The US statement immediately aroused a huge reaction all over the world. At the same time, US Secretary of State James Addison Baker also started a visit to Moscow.

Regardless of whether this visit has any effect or not, it must be carried out. This is a procedural issue. It is best to obtain the understanding of the Soviet Union. Even if it cannot, the United States has made relevant efforts. When it comes to the action, it can also indicate that no one should blame me.

At this time, the whole world was holding its breath and observing the communication between the Soviet Union and the United States. Of course, this person did not include Selov. He also sent the Minister of the Central Liaison Department to visit Baghdad and Tehran to pacify the two countries on behalf of Moscow, once again demonstrating the Soviet Union's determination to protect its allies, and to go on a same time as Gromiko's trip to welcome Addison Baker.

Selov himself did not come forward. Gromiko was more experienced than him in this regard, and the negotiation could not be successful. What could the United States exchange for 34% of the world's oil reserves? Iraq, Iran and the Soviet Union themselves are already half of the world's reserves. What can be exchanged for? At least, the ordinary brain of the big spy can't think of it.

"Prespondence? Attack Saudi Arabia?" Shelov took the combat plan handed over by Defense Minister Marshal Akhromeyev, and shook his head for a moment, "There is no problem in military affairs, but it is very political. Historically, Iraq and Saudi Arabia have nothing to do with the excuse of unity. That is the invasion? The impact that needs to be considered is too great."

The current situation is still under control, but once Iraq attacks Saudi Arabia, this matter will be irreversible. This is the scale of the war. What Serov wants is a separate confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States, and not involve the European side. At least the Warsaw Pact and NATO are best not to move.

To put it bluntly, is it a war in the Middle East or a world war? If the Soviet allies take the initiative to attack Saudi Arabia, the Soviet Union will face a joint confrontation between the whole world except itself, and the United States, Britain, France, Germany and Japan will probably go into battle. Because once Saudi Arabia fails to protect, no country will believe in the credit of the Soviet Union, but rather believe that the Soviet Union has accumulated enough strength and will jump out to rule the world.

"Our active attack will make the United States lose its foothold, which is the most confident in the military." Defense Minister Akhromeev said seriously, "this whole Persian Gulf is in our hands."

"If the opponent is Malta, I agree with your plan, but the opponent is the United States. With the US's naval and air power, even if Saudi Arabia is destroyed, it is not a problem to grab a foothold and land. Don't forget that there are countries like Qatar and the UAE." Shelov said with a cold face, "The most direct result of actively attacking Saudi Arabia is that it can allow us to see the unity of the bourgeoisie. I guess the United States can bring out a group of industrial countries' troops to the Persian Gulf. Will our country fight the whole world?"

Seeing Marshal Akhromeyev remained silent, Selov whispered, "There are too many countries that have been swallowed by greed. The situation needs to change little by little. In fact, the United States cannot even accept Kuwait's annexation. Once Saudi Arabia is annexed, NAD will fight us desperately. We want to win, not to die with the United States, but to understand this."

To preserve the results of Kuwait, Selov believes that the world's most powerful country will change hands, and it is recognized that the change hands will change hands. At that time, the influence of the Soviet Union and national prestige will not be the same as that of now.

The problem now is that the United States does not want the Soviet Union to take Kuwait into his pocket. Taking advantage of the popularity of this matter, he will take action to retake it himself, while the Soviet Union cannot let the United States do so. The United States may think that the Soviet Union will not directly confront the United States, but will replicate the Vietnam War model, but for the sake of oil, the United States will jump down even if it knows.

If the Vietnam War could be replicated, things would be simple. Shelov would make the Soviet Union bleed to fight against the United States if he was sick. Perhaps the United States itself doesn't know that their technological progress has reached a point where it would not allow the Vietnam War to repeat itself. It was also the Americans who guessed and realized this after the Gulf War.

But Selov realized that it was impossible for Iran to stop the US military, and only the Soviet Union could stop the US military in a head-on confrontation.

"Okay, we should try our best to supplement the troops of the two countries. The arms hoarded in Afghanistan are transporting to the two countries, and Baghdad and Tehran are also issuing recruitment orders to expand the troops." Marshal Akhromeyev changed the topic, "If all this batch of arms cannot be used, the troops of the two countries can reach about 1.5 million. It is a huge military force."

The 1.5 million army of the Iranian League is considered a powerful military force anywhere. It is not an army equipped with Soviet tanks or a steel torrent. The Soviet Union also has a huge armed helicopter group and a fighter group in the sky to advance together.

For several consecutive days, the focus of the whole world was on the Persian Gulf region. For the Soviet Union, the benefits had begun to show. Oil prices began to rise sharply after bottoming out, and Soviet fiscal revenue began to rise.

The downside is that the USSR and the US have not ended this time. On the contrary, Moscow and Washington began to send missions to other countries. The United States hoped to get military support from allies, while the Soviet Union hoped to solve the problem with diplomatic pressure. In Paris, Bonn, and London, this diplomatic war continued to shift the battlefield.

The Soviet Union's purpose was very simple, hoping that Europe would stay out of the possible confrontation in the future and leave the problem to the United States. This purpose was not all successful, and France did not clearly want to cooperate with the United States, but Britain's attitude was very obvious.

"Wars involving land are not successful if the United States does not prepare for a few months. The land war requires more preparations than the ocean. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers eat horses and chew them all take time to prepare." Selov pinched his stiff neck and said, "It seems that the US military in Bahrain has retreated to Saudi Arabia. It seems that the United States is preparing to use Saudi Arabia as a counterattack base?"

"That's right, General Secretary!" Chebrikov explained the latest situation. "The two U.S. naval fleets led by the USS Eisenhower and the USS Independence entered the Gulf. They are still outside Saudi Arabia, but have not entered the Strait of Hormuz!"

"Hey, this is the benefit of controlling the land. The navy is strong and needs excellent ports. The situation of the US Navy is actually very embarrassing. In the Arabian Peninsula, they lack such ports." Selov had a very good taste. It was a very correct choice for the US aircraft carrier to not enter the Persian Gulf and even gave up the base in Bahrain.
