Beixi Line 1 is composed of two parallel pipelines, each pipeline has a rated gas transmission annually of 27.5 billion cubic meters. The pipeline began to supply gas directly to Germany in 2011. Due to the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the pipeline's natural gas transmission volume was only 20% of the rated gas transmission volume after July this year. At the end of August, Russia even stopped gas supply in the name of a failure. Beixi Line 2 is a natural gas transmission pipeline parallel to Line 1. It was completed in September 2021. It was originally planned to be air-ventilated soon after completion, but it was delayed due to the tension in Russia and Ukraine. After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukraine War, Germany suspended the activation of Beixi Line 2 indefinitely.
Now, all three natural gas pipelines suddenly leaked. The only explanation is that someone attacked and blown up the two natural gas pipelines. Russian Satellite News Agency reported that Russian Presidential Press Secretary Peskov said on September 27 that the damage to the Nord Stream natural gas pipeline is unprecedented, and K-K is extremely concerned about this. When answering reporters about whether the Nord Stream natural gas pipeline was deliberately damaged, Peskov said, "No possibility is ruled out." Danish Prime Minister Mate Frazer Rixson also said that the pipeline cannot be ruled out. She said it was "hard to imagine" that these leaks were "just accidents."
and according to Russian TASS on the 27th, Swedish seismologists monitored two explosions on Monday on the burial routes of the " Nord Stream-1" and " Nord Stream-2" pipelines. According to data provided by the Swedish National Earthquake Network, the monitoring station recorded two obvious explosions. Among them, has an magnitude of that reaches 2.3. Officials from the Swedish National Earthquake Network also pointed out that the data indicated that there was no doubt that there had been an explosion.
According to common sense and information disclosed by all parties, we can have two relatively clear judgments: First, three natural gas pipelines were attacked and destroyed, resulting in natural gas leakage, otherwise this situation would not be possible; second, according to Sweden's monitoring, three natural gas pipelines were undoubtedly attacked.
So, we can’t help but ask, who actually blows up the natural gas pipeline?
Before answering who blows up the natural gas pipeline, we should first discuss what exactly was used to blow up the natural gas pipeline. You can first take a look at the photos during the construction of the Beixi Natural Gas Pipeline project below. We can see that the diameter and thickness of this kind of pipeline are not something that ordinary explosives can blow up, let alone in the deep sea. At such a deep seabed, this extremely strong submarine natural gas pipeline was blown up, and it could only be an torpedo or a precisely guided suicide submarine. So, there are not many countries that can place torpedoes or suicide submarines on pipelines, especially fewer countries with this motivation.
"North Stream" natural gas pipeline project Data map
Regarding who blows up the natural gas pipelines of Nord Stream Line 1 and Line 2 from Russia to Germany, we can use the exclusion method.
Will Russia blow it up by itself? The answer is no. Will Germany and the EU countries blow up? Germany and other countries such as , Western European may not have any motivation except the United Kingdom. Relatively speaking, some Eastern European countries may have the motivation to blow up pipelines in order to undermine Russia-Europe relations, but whether ordinary countries have the ability is just a matter of saying that under normal circumstances, they generally do not have the courage to do this, and it is difficult to do so simply.
Who is the country in the world that most wants to blow up these two pipelines?
The United States and Ukraine must be very much thinking, and there are countries that may profit from the breaking of these two pipelines.However, if the pipeline is blown up just for your own profit, it is not long-term profit but short-term profit. Therefore, the cost and cost of spending so much effort to blow up Russia's natural gas pipeline is too high, and it has been repaired for a period of time, and the input-output is not proportional.
To sum up, we infer that there are only two motivations for blowing up the two lines of the Nord Stream:
First, it is to cut off the possibility of Russia and Europe restoring gas supply. Why did Russia stop Nord Stream 1 pipeline? The main purpose is to force Germany to open Nord Stream 2 pipeline. According to media reports, France and Germany's attitude towards the Russian-Ukrainian war has obviously softened after Russia announced that it might use nuclear weapon to protect its own country. At the same time, there were thousands of demonstrations in Germany, requiring the German government to open the Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline.
In this case, Germany has the possibility of opening Nord Stream 2 pipeline with Russia. Once Nord Stream 2 is restarted, the degree of confrontation between Russia and Europe will ease. In this case, there must be countries that do not want Russia and Germany to ease relations, so they simply blow up Nord Stream No. 1 and 2 pipelines, causing Russia and Germany to lose reasons to ease relations.
The second is to make Russia and Europe lose the opportunity to ease relations. Relations between Russia and the EU may ease in winter because countries have encountered difficulties in heating, and finally force the government to compromise with Russia.
Now, the natural gas pipeline has been directly bombed. According to media reports, it will take at least several months to recover. In this way, Russia will not be able to supply gas to Europe through the Nord Stream pipeline in winter, and EU countries no longer want to ease relations with Russia and restore natural gas supply.
So, essentially, the only reason to destroy the Beixi natural gas pipeline is to destroy Russia-Europe relations. So, who has this motivation and ability? The answer is the United States and its individual allies. Therefore, we now see that it is difficult for the United States to get rid of its relationship.
Some people may say, will the United States do such a thing? In fact, after the past few years, people still think that what can't be done in the United States? Of course, it is no problem to explode a natural gas pipeline.
In fact, this incident also reminded Zhanhao of the Tianan incident in 2010. South Korea's Cheonan warship was sunk, which was obviously sunk by some countries using the submarine . The United States wants to take this into North Korea, but North Korea has no motive for committing the crime. Doing this is really harmful to it but not beneficial to it. Of course, South Korea certainly doesn't want to do this.
Who had such a motivation at that time? It is to return to the United States, which is targeting China's Asia-Pacific rebalancing. Because the relationship between North Korea and South Korea was to ease at that time, which was not in line with the US Asia-Pacific strategy, the Tianan incident occurred.
So, let’s look back at the attack on the Beixi natural gas pipeline that is happening now. Who do you think is the murderer? Except for the United States or its allies, I really can't imagine anyone with such a motive! Therefore, if this matter is really investigated, it should be possible to investigate it clearly, but it will be left alone in the end. However, this matter should be investigated clearly and announced clearly and let the world comment. Just like this time, the National Security Administration sent a hacker to Northwestern Polytechnical University in China and was caught stealing materials. China used evidence to criticize the United States, but the United States dared not respond. Russia should also follow China and mess with him hard!
Nord Stream natural gas pipeline was blown up. Since Russia had previously suspended natural gas supply, the repair of this pipeline is likely to be shelved, which is in the interests of the United States. Of course, for Russia and Western European countries, this is really hard to say! Whether the Beixi pipeline is repaired is a question! Now that the air is stopped, it may not necessarily provide air if it is repaired, so why bother to practice? Even if it is repaired, will the relevant forces not be bombarded again? Therefore, the current global game situation is really bad. The United States is a destroyer, provoking all kinds of disputes and undermining world peace! It should be despised by the world!
