Chapter 1477 Americans Are in a Hurry (Part 2)

Sixty-one pilots and the elite U.S. military were killed at one time. Apart from the attack on the naval base last time, this is already the largest one-time loss of the U.S. military in Iraq.

The angry U.S. command directly dispatched fighter bombers and cruise missiles to completely flatten that large area. Hundreds of recalcitrant militants plus Saddam and his sons, including possible civilians in that area, were all buried under the rubble. Of course, it's hard to tell if civilians who haven't run away after being beaten like that are civilians.

This time, the U.S. military headquarters accepted the lesson from the last time, and did not announce the battle immediately, but cautiously wanted to confirm the identity of the deceased before announcing that the U.S. military had killed Saddam and his son.

Once again, however, the command was disappointed. Before they dug up all the bodies, the voices and images of Saddam and Qusay's father and son had appeared on the radio and Al Jazeera again. Saddam announced with an excited face that the Iraqi army had shot down the American army The news that five planes were shot down and killed many US soldiers was also released. At the same time, it also announced the image of the US elite commando plane being shot down from the ground angle. Finally, Saddam also called on the Iraqi fighters not to give up resistance, and must drive the aggressors out of Iraq.

How could Saddam allow such propaganda? The U.S. military immediately released news that the entire region was flattened. However, as soon as this news was released, the first thing I faced was the questioning of countless anti-war people in China and around the world. How could the U.S. military ignore human rights so much that the civilians in that area were also targeted?

The Anglo-American coalition forces were in a state of desperation, and even domestic government officials were being questioned one by one by reporters. No one dares to talk nonsense, the aloof U.S. military has never suffered such a shameful humiliation!

Although the corpses dug up one after another show that there is no pure civilian in that area, and the number of militants killed is almost four times that of the US military, but four to one is an unacceptable battle loss for the US military! Those are elite pilots and special forces fighters! The high-level army almost covered their heads with quilts and cried bitterly!

Among them, the most unbearable thing for the US side is that if all the planes were shot down by Sam 7, everyone would recognize it. However, the A10 attack aircraft was clearly shot down by the Stinger anti-aircraft missile produced by the Americans themselves. Iraq has been sanctioned and embargoed since the 1990s, so how did this Stinger missile fall into Saddam's hands? Obviously, some people in the United States may still be supporting the enemy!

The top government and military leaders were furious and ordered a thorough investigation. I don't know how many piecemeal small arms dealers are trembling with fear, especially those who have been exposed to Stinger missiles are in constant panic, for fear that they will find out that there is something wrong with the goods they handled.

The sudden attack and the reappearance of Saddam Hussein made the stock and futures markets do not know how to behave and became a mess. Some stocks rose and some plummeted, and oil futures were also incomprehensible to everyone. They fell first after the bombing, and then rose rapidly after the appearance of Saddam. It was dazzling, making people unable to understand the judgment of the capital market.

This time, the members of the Treasure Ship Club did not appear to be collectively mobilizing to harvest in the capital market. We all know that some things are done once enough, and any more may lead to very bad consequences.

At this time, Guo Tailai received a call from Mr. Zhao. If the Americans want to know what Guo Tailai did in Iraq, they can disclose some as appropriate.

Guo Tailai was not surprised at all when he received a call from Mr. Zhao.

High-level officials in the U.S. government and military must have realized that the frequently erroneous intelligence about the whereabouts of Saddam and his son must be related to Guo Tailai. Guo Tailai even suspected that the U.S. military must have dug up all the corpses in that area, and found a double body that was almost identical to Saddam, his son and the bodyguards around them, so they came to the door.

You can let Mr. Zhao call to notify, no need to ask, it must be because the high-level officials of the two countries have exchanged opinions, otherwise there will be no such notification. I don't know what benefits the country has received from the Americans in exchange for this nod.

The Americans came quickly. To Guo Tailai's surprise, the person who came was his old acquaintance and also his client. Mr. Anderson and Mr. Finn came together and stayed directly in Guo Tailai's Treasure Ship Hotel. That's fine, after all, the two of them are still private businessmen. On the surface, they have nothing to do with the military, and it is more convenient to act. Of course, the faster they came, the more urgent their mood was.

"G, do you know why we are here?" Mr. Anderson is obviously in charge, he is more tactful than Mr. Finn, even if he says something wrong, there is still room for change. After a brief rest, the two directly found Guo Tailai who was waiting for them at the hotel. Mr. Anderson asked quickly without turning around.

"Hmm!" Guo Tailai nodded.

"Do you have any conditions?" Mr. Anderson asked without any greetings.

"The U.S. government cannot artificially set up obstacles to my yacht, private submarine, and helicopter business." Guo Tailai was not polite, and put forward conditions: "And the same tariffs as the EU."

From Guo Tailai's personal point of view, it is definitely inappropriate to ask for cutting-edge technology, but from a business point of view, he can open his mouth at will, such as the access and tariffs of these three products that Guo Tailai just mentioned. Between the United States and the European Union, there is now zero tariffs, so Guo Tailai directly asked for zero tariffs.

Anderson was an old fox, nothing could be seen from his face. But on the face of the little Finn next to him, there was an obvious expression of relaxation and a sigh of relief. It seemed that Guo Tailai's request was lower than they expected.

After pretending to go out to talk on the phone, Anderson came in and nodded at Guo Tailai, expressing that the government recognized Guo Tailai's request. Guo Tailai's yachts, private submarines and helicopters are only affordable for the rich. How high can the sales be? There will not be much money if the tariff is exempted, which is much less than the loss of five planes.

"Mr. Finn would like to have a video call with you, can you?" Anderson was purely passing on the word this time, and some questions were more appropriate to be answered directly by the big shots.

"Of course!" Guo Tailai had no objection.

Soon, the video conference system was connected, and Guo Tailai was connected to the encryption system brought by Finn. After a while, Guo Tailai saw the face of Mr. Finn on the screen on the top floor.
