He became Park Jeong-ui’s nephew. – (164)

“How about establishing diplomatic relations with Vietnam on this occasion?”

“I also think now is my chance.”

This is the Philippines,

Philippine President Fernandez Marcos continued his meetings with his inner circle.

After Marcos was elected president in 1965, he declared martial law, imprisoned his political opponents and journalists, and established a dictatorship.

However, it is true that the power is still unstable as it is still in the early stages of taking power. At this time, the Iraq-Saudi war broke out and the US fleet was heading to the Middle East.

The Philippines and Vietnam are located at that crossroads.

So what is the relationship between the two countries now?

President Marcos had long wanted to establish diplomatic relations with Vietnam.

In 1966, the Philippines entered the Vietnam War at the request of South Vietnam and fought against the communists.

Naturally, Vietnam does not look favorably on the Philippines.

It was natural for the Marcos regime, still in its early days, to avoid unnecessary armed conflict with Vietnam.

In addition, with the US fleet arriving in the Philippines, Vietnam must be very nervous. At this point, Vietnam will not be able to refuse the Philippines’ offer of an alliance.

If Vietnam and the Philippines formed an alliance, the allied forces would be able to stabilize their rear, which was what the United States also wanted, and so diplomatic relations were established between the two countries.

The problem is that the spark came from an unexpected place.

An incident occurred where Cambodia suddenly attacked Vietnam.

Why is Cambodia taking such a risk when there is a US military fleet in the Philippines?

The reason was roughly this.

There is a group in Cambodia called the United Front for the Struggle of the Oppressed Peoples (FULRO), which has long viewed Vietnam as a thorn in their side.

Their goal is to kill all Vietnamese people and conquer the land, but is it possible for such a nationalist far-right group to gain the support of the majority of the population?

Naturally, FULRO has been leading anti-Vietnam sentiment by killing Vietnamese people within Cambodia.

But at this time, the American fleet appeared in the Philippines,

In the aftermath, Vietnam even formed an alliance with the Philippines.

From FULRO’s perspective, this is a threatening situation. They have been happily killing Vietnamese people, but now they are facing a backlash.

This is why FULRO launched a preemptive strike on Vietnam.

In this way, the Iraq-Saudi war unintentionally turned Indochina into a battlefield.

The world, which had been quiet for a while, is once again engulfed in war.

Korea was not free from its aftermath either.

***

“Laos and Thailand are also participating?”

“Yes, Your Majesty, the situation seems to be getting more and more serious.”

“Hmm~ I thought it was nothing special… but things have gotten a bit complicated.”

This is Changgyeonggung Palace,

I continued my marathon meetings with military generals.

The Indochina War, sparked by the Iraq-Saudi War,

I thought it would end with a border dispute between Cambodia and Vietnam, but with Laos and Thailand joining the war, the entire Indochina became a battlefield.

“We have nothing to do with it, it was FULRO who did it on his own!!”

“You think that excuse will work?!! You guys are accomplices too, you brats!!”

The Kingdom of Cambodia refused to allow its territory to become a battlefield.

Why should the Kingdom of Cambodia be responsible for this war when it was FULRO that massacred the Vietnamese?

However, the Vietnamese regime also treated the Kingdom of Cambodia as an accomplice because it condoned FULRO’s massacre of Vietnamese people.

This is why the Kingdom of Cambodia had no choice but to declare war on Vietnam.

In response, Vietnam brought Laos in to attack Cambodia’s rear, and Cambodia brought Thailand in to turn the war into a dogfight.

Indochina, where there is no answer at all,

But I have no intention of getting involved in this war.

What does it have to do with Korea whether Indochina is in chaos or not?

Korea’s biggest problem right now is securing a supply route to the Middle East. What does it matter whether Indochina becomes a sea of ​​fire or not?

Things got a bit complicated, but I didn’t take it too seriously.

After some time had passed, the Central Intelligence Agency came with important information.

“Marshal, it seems that the Soviet Union will intervene in the Middle East war.”

“Have the rebellions in the Baltic countries already been suppressed?”

“Yes, and there are also reports that oil companies have set fire to oil fields. There have already been articles in the United States.”

Bad things tend to happen all at once,

The Middle East war has taken an unexpected turn.

A war that was suspicious from the start. Unless the Iraqi rebels are stupid, there is no reason for them to attack Saudi Arabia first.

As expected, American oil companies set fire to oil fields and disguised it as an attack by Iraqi rebels because they didn’t want to lose money.

In this case, what is the position of the US military that dispatched the troops?

If we continue to wage war with Iraq, we are admitting that the US is in cahoots with the oil companies that set fire to the oil fields.

Does that mean the US will pay compensation to Saudi Arabia?

The US military had already arrived in the Middle East, and as one would expect from a sword, one must cut down anything. The US covered up the incident and decided to go to war with Iraq.

The oil companies were the ones who set the fields on fire, but the blame was shifted to the Iraqi rebels. However, American reporters have already continuously exposed that this incident was a fabrication by the oil companies.

“Why are we here? An American company set fire to the oil fields?”

“Then we are the invading force? Do we have a justification for going to war with Iraq?”

The most serious issue is the motivation of the soldiers,

Do you think American soldiers would be proud to fight in a war like this?

It was a war without a justification and the soldiers had lost the will to fight. Eventually, the US government admitted its mistakes and decided to pay compensation to the Saudi government.

In addition, Saudi Arabia’s oil nationalization was recognized, and Saudi Arabia, which had been receiving 80% of its profits from the United States, was liberated economically.

The problem is Korea,

We followed the US into this Middle East war, but due to the oil companies’ self-directed drama, even Korea was framed as an invading force.

The bigger problem is that Kuwait is using this as an excuse to nationalize its oil, and they are asking why we can’t do it when Saudi Arabia has already nationalized its oil.

So does that mean Korea should give up 140 of Kuwait’s oil fields?

This incident was nothing more than a farce perpetrated by American oil companies, and Korean companies operating in Kuwait were not involved.

But why are Korean oil companies withdrawing from Kuwait?

The Kingdom of Kuwait, which is crawling over our heads as we look around,

I first moved the Korean troops that had reached the Saudi entrance to Iran.

Now that the US has withdrawn from Saudi Arabia, Iran is completely surrounded, and at the very least, it must defend Iran to receive oil supplies.

And Korean businesspeople in Kuwait were withdrawn to Iran.

With the US troops withdrawn from Saudi Arabia, it was only a matter of time before Iraq attacked Kuwait, so he kept in contact with the US troops while observing the actions of the Iraqi rebels.

***

“Arabs are united!!”

“Now all that’s left are Iran and Israel!!”

This is Kuwait,

As American troops withdrew from Saudi Arabia, Iraqi rebels gained momentum and pushed into Kuwait.

Now the only things standing in the way of Arab unity are Israel and Iran.

But the United States did not sit idly by either.

If Saudi Arabia falls, and Israel and Iran fall as well, the United States will completely lose its hegemony in the Middle East.

The United States began providing large-scale support to Israel, the last bastion in the Middle East, to prevent its collapse.

The same goes for South Korea, which has stationed troops in its ally Iran and is prepared to intervene in the Middle East war again if necessary.

The expansion of the Iraqi insurgency, which has stalled here,

The best option for Iraq is to stop the war here.

Now that they’ve taken over Kuwait, shouldn’t they just monopolize the oil and reap the profits from it, centered around Arab countries?

But the Iraqi rebels, with something in their eyes, made a huge mistake by allied with the Palestinians and attacked Israel.

However, Israel, with support from the United States, launched space defense, and the Iraqi-Palestinian coalition launched repeated reckless attacks, causing numerous casualties.

The problem is that this is not the end,

Extremists affiliated with Iraqi rebels ran wild in Kuwait.

The reason is simple: Kuwait, like Iran, follows secularism.

“Oil is a gift from God to the Arabs!!”

“Kuwait, which has amassed wealth by selling it to foreign powers, must be punished by God!!”

The Kingdom of Kuwait was in dismay.

When they were chasing out Korean companies, they were happy that they were nationalizing oil, but it turned out that they were chasing out the fox and bringing in the tiger.

Fortunately, the main force of Iraqi rebels is struggling in Israel.

If you think Kuwait can push out the Iraqi rebels during this time, you are mistaken. How can Kuwait, with a population of only 1.5 million, push out the rebels?

The United States is currently supporting Israel and has no time to worry about Kuwait, so Kuwait eventually had no choice but to reach out to Korea again.

The problem is that Kuwait has driven out Korean companies with its own hands.

With what shame do you send an SOS to Korea again?

In addition, Iran also began to instigate Korea.

“Kuwait is a weak country that walks a tightrope between powerful countries. If this happens again in the future, they will betray Korea again. Instead of investing in Kuwait, why not invest in Iran?”

Iran has opened its oil development business to the South Korean government.

Iran has nationalized its oil, but it is difficult to develop and manage its many oil fields independently.

So, the government monopolized only 80% of the total genetic resources and gave the development rights for 8% of the remaining 20% ​​to Korea.

Just as the US is fighting Iraqi rebels with Israel at the forefront, Korea should also use Iran as the forefront to check Iraq.

South Korea abandoned Kuwait and strengthened ties with Iran, its longtime ally.

The loss of Kuwaiti oil fields was compensated by securing Iranian oil fields.

On the one hand, they developed a plan to surround Iraq in cooperation with the United States.

The Western Front is dominated by Israel, supported by the US military, and Israel wants to use this opportunity to push back the Palestinians.

If Iran, with the support of the Korean military, hits Iraq from behind at this point, wouldn’t the situation turn around in an instant?

As time passed, Israel advanced into Palestine and Iran also pushed into Iraq, and the Iraqi rebels began to rapidly collapse.

In this way, the US-ROK alliance dramatically restored hegemony in the Middle East.

First, as an example, the country called Iraq was erased from the world.

We should have completely dismantled Iraq in the second Middle East war, but that’s why things have gotten this bad.

They wiped out Iraq and settled the land with Kurds – Aryans – and Palestinian immigrants who had been driven out by Israel.

“From now on, let’s kill each other.”

“Just kill yourselves and stop bothering us.”

Kurds, Aryans, Palestinians,

What they have in common is that they are a nation without a country and are wandering around. Since the three-way war started in the empty land called Iraq, aren’t they going to kill each other from now on?

The US and Korea applied this logic to Indochina as well.

Indochina is now a tangled mess of Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand, killing each other.

That’s enough.

The US – Korea’s territories to protect are China to the north, the Middle East to the west, and the Philippines and its other affiliated islands to the south.

It didn’t matter what conflicts occurred in the rest of the country.
