Chapter 510 Persian Gulf Law Enforcer

The waves are beating against the shore of Qeshm Island. Looking from here, the Strait of Hormuz on the side of Qeshm Island is a busy scene at this moment. Oil tankers, with their huge bellies bulging, are sailing slowly in the bay. This is the world's energy supply base, and every move here will be related to the energy problems of the entire world!

In the north, a speedboat was coming against the wind and waves. Seeing the speedboat, Andre went to meet it with a smile on his face.

Soon, the speedboat docked. Valisi walked to the front of the dock. The entire dock was under martial law. The people on the speedboat were stepping ashore in one stride. The person walking in front walked briskly and exuded vitality.

"Mr. President Saddam, you are very welcome to visit Qeshm Island." Andre said to the person walking towards him.

President Saddam! The Iranian people's government had accepted Andre's proposal, but the Iraqi side could not accept it. Realizing that the negotiations could not make progress, President Saddam came from Baghdad in person. He flew to Bandar Abbas and then took a Soviet Navy speedboat to Qeshm Island.

Looking at Andre in front of him, Saddam extended his hand: "General Andre, we meet again. This time, I came here specially. You should know my purpose."

Originally, the policy was set by Andre and Saddam, but now Andre has gone back on his word, which makes Saddam very angry. However, as a politician, Saddam knows that quarreling will not solve the problem.

He demanded an explanation, demanded that Andre give him a reasonable explanation.

"Mr. President Saddam, look, the scenery here is so beautiful." Andre said to Saddam, pointing to the strait outside.

What's so beautiful here? It's not my first time seeing the sea. Besides, there are those big creatures floating on the sea here.

"There are too many tankers," Saddam said. "I don't feel how beautiful the scenery is here."

"Yes, there are too many tankers." Andrei said, "It affects the beautiful scenery here, so we Soviets think it would be better if there were fewer tankers here."

Andre's words immediately shocked Saddam's heart. This sentence was obviously meaningful. Could it be that the Soviet Union was going to attack these tankers? Was the Soviet Union going to start interfering with the crude oil exports in the entire Persian Gulf region?

Isn't this an enemy of the entire Western world? You know, Iraq only owns a small part of these tankers, and most of them belong to Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and other countries. Thinking of these countries, Saddam felt uncomfortable. These countries ignored Iraq's feelings and wantonly increased crude oil production, causing oil prices to fall. In this round of oil price decline, Iraq is the biggest victim! Because of the war, Iraq's crude oil production has been greatly reduced, and now the international crude oil price has been suppressed, Iraq's foreign exchange income has dropped sharply.

War costs money. Iraq has used up all its foreign exchange reserves so far. These MSL brothers, at this time, actually disregarded Iraq's interests. They are completely running dogs of the United States!

"I wonder what you are going to do?" Saddam asked.

"The war in Iran is about to end soon, but there are still many war criminals on the run. Some of them may escape by sea. We suspect that the captains of these tankers may be bribed by the war criminals and allow Iranian war criminals to escape to other countries. So, we plan to launch a six-month search to search every tanker leaving the Persian Gulf and thoroughly check every detail on it to determine whether there are any Iranian war criminals on board." Andre said.

A six-month search! Saddam's eyes suddenly lit up. This was a really good and crazy reason!

Ships are mobile territories. A country's ships represent its sovereignty. The Soviets wanted to board other countries' ships for inspection, which was obviously an act that aroused public outrage!

However, for the gangsters, force is their backing, and order is established by them. Now, the Soviet Union wants to check the oil tankers passing along the way, which force can compare with the Soviet Union in the entire Middle East? The Soviet Union wants to check, and although they are extremely angry, they have to obey and accept the inspection.

This inspection will certainly slow down the speed of the ships. Some ships may even be detained for three to five months and slowly inspected. In this way, the output of crude oil will be greatly stagnant, and the world crude oil price will be pushed up!

Who benefits? First of all, the Soviet Union! Because the United States's efforts to win over these Middle Eastern countries and lower oil prices actually hit the Soviet Union's crude oil exports, and Iraq was just one of the victims.

However, if the Soviet Union does this now, Iraq will certainly be the beneficiary. Andre said this to Saddam with a targeted purpose. For example, Iraq's oil tankers will be released after a simple inspection.

The key targets are the running dogs of the Americans! Saddam is well aware of this.

This one move solved the biggest problem Iraq was facing. Saddam no longer felt so disgusted with Andrei and thought he was deceived. Perhaps this was the Soviet Union's compensation to him?

"General Andre, your proposal is really great. The Middle East has long needed a law enforcer." Saddam said, "We in Iraq are hostile to Iran, so there must be no Iranian war criminals on our tankers."

"We are absolutely sure of this," Andre said. The two looked at each other, both smiling.

The Strait of Hormuz will be the first attempt by the Soviets to control the Persian Gulf! This will certainly lead to serious conflicts, but the Soviets will use their swords to stop these people from playing tricks!

The method of lowering the world crude oil price, making the Soviet Union's oil exports useless and dragging down the Soviet economy is about to be declared bankrupt!

"This is the birthplace of the ancient Mesopotamian civilization. A powerful country was once born here." Andrei said to Saddam, "President Saddam, do you have any thoughts on those treacherous friends? If so, we, the Soviet Union, are willing to fully support you."

Saddam was shocked. What Andre said was exactly what Saddam was thinking about at the moment!
