Dominate South Asia

Chapter 777: Countermeasures

I don't know what the Americans are thinking. Maybe it's the continuation of Bush's Cold War thinking. Americans are now only concerned with fighting and don't care about the economy at all. Now, the US fiscal deficit exceeds one trillion! What does this mean? Historically, the US fiscal deficit was only a few hundred billion at this time, and after Clinton came to power, the US fiscal deficit gradually turned into a surplus!

And now, the US fiscal deficit has exceeded one trillion, which has broken an absolute bottom line, which means that the United States can not only not pay back these foreign debts, but even the interest will be difficult to pay.

Moreover, Americans don't seem to care about this problem at all. A series of wars are still going on, so the US fiscal deficit is still increasing! The domestic economy of the United States has deteriorated beyond recognition. In this case, the Americans actually want to continue the war. Even if they control the Iranians' oil, how many years will it take for them to turn losses into profits? Moreover, it is simply impossible to completely control Iran.

Muhammad is waiting for the US economy to deteriorate and for them to have an economic crisis. They want to make China compromise through economic sanctions, which can only greatly increase the cost of living for the American people.

Sure enough, when China occupied Taiwan, established its own regime on Taiwan, and declared Taiwan as China's third special administrative region, the sanctions from the Americans finally arrived!

The punitive tariff increase of 2,000% is not for a certain product, but for all commodities, such high tariffs will be increased!

This almost blocked China's way of exporting goods to the United States. A large number of private enterprises in China that rely on exports to make a living either closed down or waited for the country's huge export tax rebate to maintain their sales.

The United States not only wooed NATO to increase high tariffs on China's exports to the Western world, but also put pressure on Middle Eastern countries to stop oil exports to China.

Now, China has become the world's largest oil importer. China's domestic economy relies on oil as a catalyst. If there is no oil, China's economy will plummet.

The sanctions of the United States are fierce, and the whole world is looking at China to see how China responds.

In 1995, just after the New Year's Day bell rang, Pakistan welcomed a new guest. The tough prime minister of China came to Pakistan quietly again.

"We welcome Premier Zhu to visit our country again." Muhammad welcomed the arrival of Premier Zhu and his entourage at the Presidential Palace.

"It's a great honor." Premier Zhu stepped on the red carpet and looked at the Prime Minister of Pakistan in front of him. He said sincerely: "Pakistan gave us great support in our military operations last month. On behalf of our government, I would like to express my gratitude to your country."

If it weren't for the ground effect vehicles provided by Pakistan, China would not have been able to send the 39th Army to Wanwan Island in such a short time, and it would not have been possible to quickly fight and complete the great cause of national reunification before the US fleet intervened.

What's more, President Muhammad prepared for the rainy day and started the anti-ship ballistic missile attack several years ago. The US Navy's aircraft carrier formation had to change its course, which was also an important reason for their delay.

"We have common interests with China." Muhammad said: "Our two countries have established a deep friendship in history. Now, only by working together can we play a greater role on the international stage."

"Yes." Premier Zhu sat on the chair next to Muhammad. He said with emotion: "The disintegration of the Soviet Union and the rise of American hegemony are very unfavorable to us. Only by working together can we play our role in the international arena."

After speaking. Premier Zhu drank a sip of tea and continued: "Now. The United States has imposed economic sanctions on us, and we are also preparing to launch a counterattack. However, the first problem we face is oil. We are vigorously developing new oil fields in China, especially in the South China Sea, conducting offshore oil exploration, but our oil gap is still large."

Oil! Although the United States is still fighting hard in the Middle East, a favorable situation has been formed. Under the pressure of the huge US garrison, Iraq and Kuwait are determined not to sell oil to China. Saudi Arabia wants to sell, but under pressure from the United States, it dares not sell.

If they don't sell oil to China, these countries will suffer a lot of losses. After all, China consumes a lot of oil. If these countries don't sell oil, they will have nowhere to sell the extra oil they produce.

"The most suitable choice for you is to increase the proportion of oil imports from Russia and Iran." Muhammad said, "It's a pity that the timing is not right now."

At this time, Russia has not realized that the United States is digging a hole for them, and is still accepting the advice of American economic experts and doing shock therapy. The Russian traitors are still eager to be friendly with the United States. Therefore, the United States announced an oil embargo on China, and Russia also participated in it. Moreover, due to the mountains and other reasons, it is still very inconvenient to transport oil from Russia to China.

Iran is a friend of China. Iran will not succumb to the United States and can continue to sell oil to China. However, Iran is now fighting with the United States. The oil industry is almost stagnant. No foreign tankers dare to approach Iranian ports to load oil. In addition, many ports have been blocked or occupied by the United States, and Iran's roads are also blocked.

"So, we can only strengthen cooperation with Africa. We have increased our oil imports from Africa. Unfortunately, Africa's oil still cannot make up for our gap." Premier Zhu said.

The Asian, African and Latin American worlds are brothers. China has a good reputation in the third world and can import oil from Nigeria, Algeria, Venezuela and other countries. However, these oils cannot make up for China's gap.

Muhammad nodded: "Oil is the blood of the national economy. Without oil, the country's economy will also face a big decline. We Pakistan can help your country get more oil."

Now, the oil pipeline between China and Pakistan has been built and directly connected to Gwadar Port. After the last unpleasant incident between the United States and Pakistan, Pakistan has taken back Gwadar Port. The United States has stationed troops in Abbas Port, and there is no need to pay high rent there. Therefore, the United States and Pakistan broke up.

Now, the oil pipeline has been laid. Originally, China planned to directly reach China through the oil pipeline in Pakistan by land. This not only reduces the transportation cost, but also avoids harassment from the United States during the long route. The United States has completely mastered the sea power and will create another Galaxy incident at any time to disgust China.

For Pakistan, it is also very simple to do this. Just import more oil from Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other Middle Eastern countries in the name of Pakistan.

The tanker loads oil from Saudi Arabia and other countries, takes a short journey, and directly goes to Gwadar Port in Pakistan to transport the oil ashore. As for whether the oil is used by Pakistan itself or transported to China, those oil-producing countries don’t have to worry about it.

An important purpose of Premier Zhu’s visit to Pakistan this time is to discuss oil issues and solve China’s most important energy problem.

For China, it is a big problem, but for Pakistan, it can be easily solved.

"Thank you very much to our Pakistani friends." Premier Zhu said: "With your help, the energy problem that has troubled us can finally be solved."

"In fact, it's not just the energy problem, but also your light industrial products, which can be brought to Pakistan, changed the name, and continue to be dumped to the Western world." Muhammad said: "Just let your companies set up a shell company in Pakistan. Of course, if you go to Pakistan, you still need to pay a tax."

In addition to the energy problem, China also has the problem of sales of light industrial products, which is easier to solve than oil. After all, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, more and more companies have been dealing with light industrial products in the former Soviet Union, and the former Soviet Union has begun to occupy a certain market share.

At the same time, China cannot give up the market of Western countries. The United States wants to impose high tariffs, and China has no response measures for the time being. If it goes to Pakistan, the problem will be solved.

The United States can sanction China in this way because China used force to recapture Taiwan, and the United States cannot sanction Pakistani products. Anyway, the railway from China to Pakistan has been built. Whether it is railway or road, the transportation cost of transporting those products is lower, and it is no problem to repackage them in Pakistan and sell them in the name of Pakistani companies. Although Pakistan has to impose a tax, it is much less than the 2,000% punitive tariff of the United States.

Killing two birds with one stone.

"Thank you very much, President Muhammad." Premier Zhu said: "Your country has helped us solve a big problem!"

"You have a long cultural history and pay attention to repaying a drop of water. In the previous India-Pakistan wars, you have given us a lot of help. We Pakistan are also a country that knows how to repay. Moreover, our cooperation is to achieve a win-win situation, and it is also to crush the hegemony of the United States. This is also beneficial to us Pakistan." Muhammad said.

In fact, as long as there is a politician with a brain, he will see that once the United States completely occupies Iran, it will definitely not be a good thing for Pakistan.

"Besides, now that the United States has imposed economic sanctions on you, don't you plan to fight back?" (To be continued ~^~)
