Chapter 684: The Bombing

International crude oil futures market.

A large amount of funds suddenly poured in to buy crude oil prices.

This made many investment institutions and stock traders very incredible. Now that the oil price does not fall, it is fine. Some people actually bet that the oil price will rise?

Suddenly, countless people began to short the oil price and bet that the oil price will fall.

In the market, shorts and longs are always playing games.

It depends on who is more skilled and makes a profit!

The one who is long in the international crude oil futures market is naturally Liu Tao. This time he used a full fifty times leverage.

If Saddam suddenly does not make trouble, then the money he invested in the futures market will be lost.

But once Saddam really makes trouble, then he can take this opportunity to make a lot of money to make up for his own losses.

And as a result, Saddam really made trouble.

Just when the time was about to come for the withdrawal time signed by both parties.

Port of Abadan, a port city with the largest refinery in Persia.

The Persian defenders were listless, yawning, chatting with each other, waiting for the Iraqi army outside to withdraw.

At this time, hundreds of planes, including fighters and bombers, rushed to the port of Abadan with ferocious spirits and bombed it.

The bombs dropped by the bombers began to bloom on the ground, and the fire balls set off by the bombs on the ground were like a huge sea of ​​fire, sweeping towards the surrounding buildings and people.

The missiles of the planes were fired directly at important targets to destroy them.

The entire port of Abadan was filled with shrill air defense alarms.

The Persian defenders of the port of Abadan were terrified.

You know, from the outbreak of the Iran-Iraq War to the present, the Iraqi army has never launched an attack on the port of Abadan, let alone a large-scale bombing.

Now that the two sides have signed a ceasefire agreement, everyone will be less vigilant.

Many people were shouting and fleeing in panic.

Fortunately, ordinary people in Abadan Port had already moved away. Those who stayed in Abadan Port were either Persian defenders or workers.

The bombs dropped from the belly of the bomber continuously, and after bombing the ground, the huge shock waves generated instantly cracked the glass windows of batches of buildings.

"Boom~~" The loud explosions continued to sound.

Many bombs were dropped on schools, houses and hospitals.

Suddenly, schools, houses and hospitals were bombed to the ground by dense bombs in an instant.

Missiles directly attacked those important buildings and destroyed them.

At the same time, the Iraqi army outside Abadan Port continued to fire artillery shells, and the artillery shells continued to fly towards Abadan Port.

In the past, there was no artillery bombing of Abadan Port, not because the Iraqi army did not have artillery, but because once the artillery was fired, Abadan Port would inevitably be destroyed. In this case, it would be meaningless for the Iraqi army to occupy a port that had been reduced to ruins.

Without any benefits, huge sums of money had to be invested in post-war reconstruction.

But now, they are all going to withdraw, so it doesn't matter.

Destroy the port of Abadan!

All of a sudden, the entire port of Abadan turned into a hellish city with flames, cries, wails, screams, and cries for help.

The original port of Abadan was filled with rubble, piles of scorched earth, a large number of broken bricks, and bodies in different places.

At the same time, the same scene happened in the port of Khomeini.

The entire port of Khomeini was bombed and shelled.

In addition, other cities and towns occupied by the Iraqi army were also destroyed by the Iraqi army.

One oil well after another was destroyed.

Then the Iraqi army retreated.

The Persians were extremely angry about this wave of Iraq. The Persian guerrillas along the line cooperated with the army to fight and attack the retreating Iraqi army, in order to leave these sinful Iraqi soldiers on the land of Persia to commemorate the tragic deaths of the Persians and the destroyed cities and towns.

However, the Iraqi army was a mechanized force, retreating quickly and with fierce firepower. The Persian guerrillas wanted to attack the retreating Iraqi army, which was no different from committing suicide.

Even the regular Persian army often lost more than it won in a head-on confrontation with the Iraqi army.

And Persia immediately informed the world of the Iraqi army's atrocities, severely condemned the Iraqi army's atrocities, and claimed that this was a crime against the Persians, and Persia would retaliate against Iraq!

After the news came out, international crude oil prices soared.

After all, Persia exports two to three million barrels of oil every day. Now that this has happened, it means that there will be a gap of two to three million barrels of oil.

More importantly, the war between Iran and Iraq will be reignited.

Some military experts and economic experts even believe that this is an Iraqi conspiracy to draw out the main force of the Persians, eliminate the Persian people's living forces, and thus completely win the war.

In this case, the international oil futures market could not help but panic, and the oil price quickly broke through the $30/barrel mark, and then broke through the $35/barrel mark and the $40/barrel mark.

The entire international oil futures market was in a state of panic.

At this time, Liu Tao's team was already reaping the rewards.

Billions of dollars in profits were safely pocketed.

It was not until the Iraqi army withdrew from the Persian border and more news came out that international oil prices fell.

However, the ports of Abadan and Khomeini in Persia were devastated, oil wells were hit hard, and cities and towns were destroyed, which means that Persia may not be able to export oil in the short term.

This oil supply gap is an indisputable fact.

As a result, the international oil price has reached $30 per barrel and it cannot be lowered.

The Persian Air Force took off immediately to bomb the retreating Iraqi army, while the Iraqi Air Force escorted them. Air battles broke out between the two sides every day.

Although the Iraqi Air Force was not as powerful as the Iraqi army, it had a slight advantage with the help of ground-based air defense missiles.

Although the Iraqi ground armed forces also suffered considerable losses, they eventually withdrew smoothly into Iraq and then deployed along the border.

The Persian Air Force held back its anger and launched air strikes on Iraq.

However, the Iraqi air defense forces discovered it in advance, and the radar had already discovered it before the Persian aircraft reached the border.

Under the air defense firepower of the Iraqi air defense forces, the Persian Air Force suffered heavy losses and was unable to launch a new wave of air strikes.

Persian ground forces were also deployed in important strategic locations, keeping an eye on Iraq and not giving Iraq the opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

The two sides engaged in a war of words, with Persia accusing Iraq of not abiding by the armistice agreement and committing heinous crimes against Persia, and Persia would not let it go. Iraq, on the other hand, righteously argued that this was in its own occupied area, and the Iraqi army had the right to do so, and that the Iraqi army withdrew at the time stipulated in the armistice agreement and did not violate the armistice agreement. Persia's accusation was completely untenable and was throwing dirty water on Iraq.
