(Bow thanks to "Mo Xiaobao" for his ten thousand rewards and three monthly tickets for his strong support!)

US President Walsh's tone was plain, but what he said seemed to drop a bombshell, which made Brent and Lin Hong a little stunned.

Obviously, for them, the things in front of them were very strange, because the Gulf War was originally mainly a war between the United States and Iraq. So logically speaking, if there was a ceasefire or an end, it should be a talk with Iraq, Salm or Majid, and what the hell is Zhou Ming who can't fight with Iraq?

However, some things are so illogical. Now Walsh not only found them, but also tried his best to get Brent to personally follow the Secret negotiations on the Snew Conway.

Although this approach was to shock the whole world when it was spread, it must be said that Walsh had found the key point in doing so, because if it were not for Zhou Ming, the Gulf War would have ended with the victory of the US military, and even the losses of the US military in the war could be negligible. Due to the great victory of this asymmetric war, the United States could dominate the new world order in the future.

But now Zhou Ming's joining has completely disrupted the steps of the war and the White House's deployment. The first starts with the uncooperation of consortium members, the offense was delayed, delaying the best offensive time, making it impossible for the US Air Force to take advantage of the weather conditions and the strong air force in the first round of attacks, and can only take advantage of the air ambush with certain risky methods.

Later, after seizing air supremacy, the pace of the war was being staged step by step according to the American script. However, once Cubar was defeated and the entire desert tiger infantry regiment was wiped out, which led to the war. At this time, a photo of a child shocked the entire United States and promoted all Americans to protest against the war, requiring the US military to pay attention to protecting the human rights of Iraqis while the war was under war.

Walsh had no doubt that the photo was posed by Zhou Ming. In fact, the US military often did this for publicity needs.

However, the investigation afterwards was obviously meaningless, because the effect of publicity had been achieved. No matter how reasonable and well-founded the explanation seemed extremely pale. It was also for this reason that the federal government led by Walsh quickly agreed to the progress of the oil-for-food plan. Of course, due to the huge profits in the plan, Walsh could not stop the major consortiums from greedily promoting this plan.

Then, while carrying out humanitarian aid, wars are still going on. This kind of war is obviously impossible to continue, and it will greatly increase the casualties and military expenditure of the US military. At that time, a new wave of anti-war will be set off in the country. Iraq will be a new South Vietnam and the United States will be trapped in the quagmire of a new war.

Maybe this sounds like a ridiculous logic of wanting horses to run and not eating grass, but those who oppose Madame will not care about this, because this is what your federal government needs to consider and Walsh absolutely does not allow it!

It is precisely this reason that the US military began to attack Basra crazily, trying to occupy Basra. The US Navy drove into the inland river and directly threatened Dubadina to force Iraq to surrender as soon as possible. However, the attack on the Rumaira oil field once again shattered Walsh's idea.

Since the Rumaira Oilfield is the most important source of oil in the oil-for-food program, the attack here will once again touch the nerves of the world, and under the guidance of public opinion, those Virgins believe that this is a conspiracy of the federal government, with the purpose of preventing the oil-for-food program. Of course, the White House can explain this, and can also show a lot of evidence that this is an Iraqi conspiracy, but the public opinion of the Virgins in the public is sometimes not enough IQ, and they will only think that it is the fault of the federal government.

Seeing that the situation was about to take control of itself step by step, Walsh could only choose the most likely way to end the war as soon as possible...negotiation.

This Gulf War was led to a deviant position after Zhou Ming's intervention. Therefore, at the suggestion of the think tank, Walsh directly contacted Zhou Ming, hoping to reach an agreement with Zhou Ming. They believed that as long as Zhou Ming was convinced, Zhou Ming would have a way to make Iraq choose to surrender. In fact, Zhou Ming now does have this ability.

Zhou Ming thought quickly in his mind, and had a clear mind about Walsh's purpose, so he said meaningfully: "We have reached an agreement to end the Gulf War as soon as possible? I think Mr. President seems to have gotten the wrong object? The person with this power should be Salm."

Walsh said calmly: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I think it's better not to worry about this issue, because both of us understand what's going on. Salm is just a puppet, right?"

It is really boring to go around this issue. Zhou Ming did not think that the wise US president would not understand the changes in Iraq, so Zhou Ming honestly said: "Okay, I do have the ability to end this war, but what about the interests? You know I am a businessman. If I had not had the benefits brought by this war, the war would not end."

"Oil-for-food plan." Walsh said without hesitation. Obviously, he had already thought about it before. "In the next ten years, the United States will continue to impose comprehensive economic sanctions on Iraq, which means that the oil-for-food plan can be implemented for at least ten years, and Iraq will rely on this plan more and more deeply. In addition, the continued rise in oil prices, the benefits of this plan will only become greater and greater."

"This is a very tempting proposal, just President Walsh. I'm sorry I don't believe you, but if I remember correctly, your term will end next year. So what do you use to ensure that the comprehensive economic sanctions on Iraq will not be terminated because of your departure?" Zhou Ming asked.

"The huge profits," Walsh replied, "because the huge profits in the oil-for-food plan will allow major consortiums to affect every president. Even if I fail to seek re-election, the next president will continue to implement economic sanctions on Iraq due to the influence of the consortium."

Zhou Ming said with an Oh, "But if the consortium wants to participate in the oil-for-food plan, then it means that my interests have been reduced?"

Walsh was a little angry: "You are too greedy. If you participate in this plan at will, it will be enough to feed a listed company. The benefits will only increase in the future. What else do you have to be unsatisfied?"

Zhou Ming was still unmoved: "Greed is the instinct of capitalists, right? And President Walsh, who has billions of dollars in property, seems to be just fifty steps to laugh, right?"

Listening to Zhou Ming's words, President Walsh was really angry. He thought Zhou Ming was just a young man in his twenties and just fooled him, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult. He suppressed his anger and said, "I should really order a formation of air force to carry out air strikes when the Sxinconway entered the port and directly sank you at the bottom of the Tigris River."

"Indeed, but as a wise president, you certainly wouldn't do that," said Zhou Ming.

Walsh calmed down for a moment, and then said to Zhou Ming: "Forget it, this time it's a negotiation. Tell me about your conditions. I hope I won't make me embarrassed too much."

"I believe that I will not make you embarrassed, because I only have two more requests." Zhou Ming raised two fingers and said, "The first is to retain the power of the Hussein family in Iraq."

Walsh nodded and said, "This is no problem. The purpose of our war was to restore Kuwait's sovereignty and territorial integrity. In principle, as long as this is achieved, the war can be ended. The subsequent wars are now only for further armed deterrence against Iraq. I have never thought of overthrowing the Salm regime."

"The second point is that I want to know why President Walsh, you have to find me?" Zhou Ming asked.

Faced with Zhou Ming’s question, Walsh was very surprised: “Didn’t I answer you from the beginning?”

Zhou Ming said, "Mr. President, if you want to say that, we both understand what's going on, so it's better not to worry about this issue, what do you think?"

"I know that your purpose in finding me is to negotiate with me and reach an agreement to end the war as soon as possible, but from just now I have been thinking that no matter how overestimated I, it seems that I do not have the qualifications to be on par with an American president at all. And most importantly, if you really decide to do whatever it takes, you can easily end the war, right?"

Zhou Ming continued, "So no matter how I think about it, there is no need to send your security assistant to come to Iraq to find me. And the abnormal behavior of the pilot you mentioned makes me feel that there must be a deeper reason behind this, and what I want to know is this deeper reason."

Walsh was silent for a long time before smiling bitterly: "I thought you would raise other commercial distribution issues, even the oil in Iraq and the entire Gulf region, but I didn't think you just want to know this reason."

"Because he troubled me, I wanted to figure it out." Zhou Ming said, "As for other commercial matters, we will leave it to commercial means to solve it. If I really need it, I believe I will definitely own or control the oil in the entire Bay Area!"

Walsh was stunned for a moment. He could hear the strong confidence in Zhou Ming's tone. If someone else said this to Walsh, he would feel that the other party was bragging. After all, the oil in the Bay Area is staring at the whole world. Who can say that he can own or control it as long as he needs it? But the person who said this was Zhou Ming, which gave people a feeling that he could indeed say it, which was very strange.

Thinking of the end, Walsh himself couldn't stop laughing, because he could have such an idea, which was weird enough.

Then Walsh said to Zhou Ming: "Okay, since this is your condition, then I will tell you, what I am worried about is that this war is not just a simple war, he is still a conspiracy."

"Conspiracy? Mr. President, can you please tell me more details?" Zhou Ming asked.

"From the beginning, as myself, I didn't intend to intercept your plane because I didn't think it was necessary, but the Adams consortium kept urging me to do so. Of course, I knew the conflict between you and them. I thought so at first, but the investigation report on the fighter crash completely overturned my original idea."

Speaking of this, Walsh paused for a moment, as if he had some concerns, and then asked: "Mr. Zhou Ming, do you know the outside world?"

Zhou Ming raised his eyebrows: "Governor Edward of Massachusetts told me, is this matter related to that?"

"That's the Kendian family, he does know," Walsh said. "Although I can't tell you the specific guess, I can tell you with certainty that this war is a conspiracy of the outside world. I don't know what they are planning, but since they have tried so much effort to send you to Iraq, they definitely hope that you can interfere with the process of this war and bring them great benefits."

"I don't want this war to become their tool, and I don't want you and I to become thousands of soldiers to become their pawns, so I hope we can reach an agreement to end this war that has lost its original meaning." Walsh said sincerely.8
