The arrival of 2003 has completely shattered many peace-loving people's expectations for peace in the new millennium, and the one who kills people hopes is the United States, the big black man. 1 (1) Last year, the terrifying tycoon Bin Laden, who was hiding around, seemed to feel that Afghanistan was still dissatisfied with its appetite, and turned its attention to its old enemy Iraq. This time, as the current president, Bush, who inherited the legacy of his father, Old Bush, felt that it was time to settle his new and old hatreds with Saddam.

During the Coast War in 1990, the multinational coalition led by Bush, swept across the millions of Iraqi troops with a destruction. When the Iraqis were driven out of Kuwait, everyone thought that the multinational coalition would take advantage of the opportunity to enter Iraq and capture the culprit Saddam. But as an experienced politician, Bush chose to stop and did not invade Iraq. Instead, he set up a no-fly zone in north and south of Iraq to limit the ambitions of Iraqi President Saddam...

This move not only won wide praise from the world, greatly restored the confidence and image of the US military's decline after the Vietnam War, but also successfully allowed the United States to firmly sit in the throne of the Middle East, dominate the political situation in the Middle East for ten years, and created a story of a double harvest of US affairs and politics.

However, in the eyes of many American conservatives, Bush is simply a woman's kindness. They repeatedly accused the United States of having to station troops around Iraq for more than ten years, and the demarcation of the forbidden flight zone and the long-term military sanctions against Iraq did not achieve the intended purpose. The rebellious Saddam still sat firmly on Diaoyutai and made provocative remarks from time to time to confront the United States. Although Iraq cannot become a major concern for the United States, it also feels that it is a thorn in the United States and Iran has become the two major uncertainties in the United States' Middle East.

Afterwards, although Bush failed to re-election, his successor Clinton was obviously not interested in pursuing Iraq's relentless pursuit and attacking Iraq. He still continued to maintain the no-fly zone on Iraq. He only found out the old accounts that Saddam once wanted to develop nuclear, biological and chemical weapons, and used the excuse of suspected Iraq was still developing and storing weapons of mass destruction as an excuse to step up sanctions on Iraq, hoping to suppress Iraq through sanctions.

Under the instruction of the United States, the UN expert group and the International Atomic Energy Organization's verification of Iraq's nuclear, biological and chemical weapons has become common. Although conclusive evidence of Iraq's development of weapons of mass destruction has not been found, under the pressure of the United States, it cannot clear away the suspicion of Iraq. 1 (1) If there is no major accident, the game between the two sides is likely to continue for a long time.

But Bush's election made the situation take a sharp turn. He was surrounded by a group of famous conservatives. From the 9/11 terrorist attacks, they not only saw the opportunity to approach the heartland of the Russian circle of power in the name of combating terrorists, but also saw hope to completely defeat Saddam.

During the Afghan War, the US military sent only a few thousand special forces to defeat the guerrillas that had fought against the former Soviet Union hundreds of thousands of troops, which greatly increased the confidence of the conservatives. In addition, after the end of the Cold War, the United States enjoyed the "peace dividend", and the country was in full swing. At this time, the country was in full swing. It was full of energy. Looking around, there were not many opponents that could pose a substantial threat to it, and it was just the opportunity to clean up all the opponents once and for all.

It is said that Saddam once sent people to assassinate the retired Bush. Now he can take the opportunity to join the country's hatred and family ties. The Bush administration will follow the situation and accused the Saddam administration of sheltering terrorists and continuing to develop weapons of mass destruction in secret. It is really a public enemy of mankind. The United States wants to act on behalf of heaven, overthrow the Iraqi dictatorship government in one fell swoop, and give the Iraqi people democracy and freedom!

The US government has coordinated internally and after the determination to attack Iraq was decided, there is naturally a way to convict Saddam. Although the crisis in East Asia was still spreading at the beginning of 2003, the world's attention has turned to the struggle between the United States and Iraq. The Iraq crisis is about to break out, and the incident began because an Iraqi scientist who defected abroad announced that Iraq was producing nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. It has been deployed in practice.

Although the international community is deeply suspicious of this, the Iraqi government also shouts wronged and actively invites international institutions to verify the locations suspected of possessing weapons of mass destruction in the country to show their innocence, the determined Americans are indifferent.

Although facing global opposition in January and February 2003, leaders of the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Hungary, Poland, Denmark and the Czech Republic announced their support for the US government's policy toward Iraq, and said that Saddam Hussein should not tolerate violations of UN resolutions. He demanded that the resolution be passed by the United Nations threaten that Saddam would not step down for one day and would launch the Second Gulf War!

On February 5, US Secretary of State Powell delivered a speech on the Iraq issue at the UN Security Council, and the war was on the verge of on February 15. On February 15, he had a premonition that a new war was coming, and a large-scale war march against Iraq broke out around the world. On that day, it was staged simultaneously in more than 600 cities around the world, with about 6 million people participating, making it the largest anti-war demonstration in history.

Unfortunately, peace efforts are always weak in the face of war. On February 26, US President Bush Jr. delivered a speech on Iraq's post-war issue, saying that he hopes to see a democratic Iraq and set an example for other Arab countries. He talked about Iraq's post-war reconstruction, and everyone understands that this war is inevitable.

On March 16, the United States, Britain, and Portugal met with the four Spanish heads of state in the Azores. US President Bush Jr. said that the last moment had arrived and that the United States and allies would make the final efforts to make the resolution he submitted pass. On the 17th, Bush issued an ultimatum, demanding Iraqi President Saddam and his son leave Iraq within 48 hours, otherwise he would be attacked by the United States.

On March 20, the United States and Britain, the United States and Britain, officially announced the war against Iraq without the authorization of the United Nations, and the Iraq War broke out. On April 9, in just 20 days, the US military occupied Baghdad. The Saddam regime, which had been rampant in the Middle East for decades, was overthrown, and the world once again experienced the high-tech weapons and military strength of the US team.

Yang Xing did not participate much on the surface in the changes in the Iraq War, but only allowed Yu Aojun's intelligence analysis company in the UK and Lin Jiana's South African Mercenary Arms Company to strengthen cooperation with the CIA and the newly established Department of Homeland Security. At most, based on previous life experience, they added fuel to the report on weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and won the favor of the US government.

On the other hand, it continues to be a two-faced approach, providing various anti-American resistance armed groups with the intelligence and equipment needed to fight guerrilla in Iraq in the future. It is necessary to make as much blood as possible in the battle in Iraq. The longer the battle is, the more combat funds it spends, and will there be a chance to make a lot of money in troubled times? Yang Xing is ready to make a fortune in the war.

However, it is not the best time for him to intervene in the Iraq War. In addition, because Zhongxing showed its amazing R&D and manufacturing strength at last year's World Conference, its competitors will no longer dare to underestimate Zhongxing, a new rival. Japanese and Korean media have hyped that if Chinese manufacturing companies like Zhongxing Group are not valued, they may become targets of being eliminated. It is said that large companies such as Samsung, LG, Sony, and Toshiba all regard Zhongxing as new imaginary enemies, and there are signs of joining forces to deal with each other. Of course, Yang Xing dare not neglect and must take twelve points of mentality to deal with it.

At this time, the news that Xingwei Resources and China Chang Group jointly discovered a large iron ore of 100 million tons in Australia attracted a lot of attention. Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton in Australia certainly secretly hated being picked by others. In order to raise the price of international iron ore, the two plots deliberately left blank. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin appeared in the diagonal thorn, which made Zhongxing and China Chang pick up a big advantage. Now that the three giants are controlling the international iron ore prices and are preparing to raise the price, this is undoubtedly a huge impact on the current system.

Especially, the two-China Group is different from its former competitors. It is still useless to discover large iron ore but cannot export from the desolate inland transportation in Western Australia. In order to break the control of the two-China Group and the Japanese consortium on most of the railways and ports in Western Australia, Zhongxing has long reached an agreement with the Western Australian government to introduce a large number of Chinese construction workers and machinery to build infrastructure.

At the press conference on the discovery of a large iron ore of 100,000 tons, the Liangchang Group also presented a construction blueprint for the direct railway to the mining area and the Perth 100,000 tons terminal. It also used the construction video of China's Sanduao and Yangpu Port that as long as the raw materials are sufficient, the Chinese market can be digested. The Liangchang Group can provide one-stop service from ore mining to door-to-door transportation.

This news directly caused the stock of Liangtuo Group listed in Australia to plummet by 15%, while the stocks listed in Australia with the joint venture of Liangchang Group rose across the board. The Western Australian government, as the major shareholder, couldn't stop smiling. It was lobbying by Rong Mingyou and was even more happy about the wealthy people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang who invested in iron ore. The initial suspicion has turned into regrets that there is no more investment.

It is not too late to repair the sheep. The threshold for Zhongxing Group is too high, and the threshold for Rong Mingyou's office has been broken by investors coming. He was blushing with no one to refuse, but the answer was somewhat surprising. He said that the iron ore business is booming now, and many domestic large steel mills have cut their heads and squeezed in. They are too little food for them, but now there is another way to make money.

He revealed that according to internal information, Zhongxing Group, the largest shareholder of the iron ore, is preparing to acquire a major European steel company. If you want to bypass supervision, you need to disperse the acquisition funds and use financial tools to raise funds. Whether it is selling bonds or preferred shares, it is a huge profit. Why not try it? With Zhongxing's brand guarantee, whether it is investing in a mine or a steel mill, this business is very profitable. (To be continued...)
