v2 Chapter 1299: European Conference on Energy Security

,

India is a big country, no matter in terms of population or area, it is not Australia with more evaporation than precipitation, although India's evaporation is also very alarming.

The population and area are combined with good agricultural conditions and resource reserves. Sorry, this is the case in a certain big country, and India is still a little short.

India is also a place where water is scarce at the same latitude in the northern hemisphere, and high temperature is recorded at every turn. In North America, the climate is unstable because of the cold current going south, and in India, the monsoon does not come, which leads to instability.

Of course, Britain attaches great importance to India, but this time there are indeed too many peace religion countries. Only Turkey, which is devoted to Westernization, did not express its position, and the rest are all in place.

This is very difficult to do. The two most important points for a country to become a powerful country are population and area, which India has. But the world of the Church of Peace is not easy to mess with. The world of the Church of Peace, which has threatened Europe for centuries, only gave Europe a breather with the collapse of the Ottoman Empire before World War I. No matter which one is Europe and the United States, it is preventing the world of the Church of Peace Power again.

The world of Peace Sect is larger than India's base. Although there is no strong country to back it up and the organization is relatively loose, it cannot be offended.

This prevents a country with a wide range of interests such as the United Kingdom from easily choosing sides. Alan Wilson promised to help when receiving the Indian ambassador, but when facing the Gulf countries, he also understood their support for the brotherly country Pakistan, and then he looked for opportunities Followed Pamela Mountbatten to inspect the Land Rover factory.

The Land Rover factory now retains the production line in the UK, leaving only the Range Rover production line. This is the most high-end Land Rover brand, and it is also the high-end off-road model guided by Alan Wilson, who can copy shells. Currently, there are more than 10,000 high-end off-road models. , Pamela Mountbatten was past to attend the ceremony.

The output of Land Rover Defender pickup and Land Rover Discovery has been rising steadily, and they have generally appeared in the Middle East, North Africa and Australia.

While driving, Pamela Mountbatten was still paying attention to her husband who was looking through the information, "Other families are men driving, and the wife is the co-pilot."

"Our family is just the opposite." Alan Wilson glanced at his wife, bluntly stated that he had a bad stomach, and then continued to read the preparations for the European Community meeting.

"EU meeting matters? Is there anything related to me?" Pamela Mountbatten didn't look out at all, and wanted to know the country's trends from her husband.

"An important content of this European Community may be that India's oil embargo is more relevant to you. Another major issue is France's proposal to increase Germany's voice in the European Community." Alan Wilson Received He read the document, "You have to know that Europe has no resources except for North Sea oil. When faced with an oil embargo similar to India, you may encounter even greater problems."

Of course, a single North Sea oil can hoist India's oil reserves several times back and forth, but considering the industrial scale of Europe, the oil needed is far more than that of India.

India's own oil reserves are enough for a big country in the 21st century to use for a year, and the lack of them is comparable to the coal reserves of Latin America. It is in a situation where there are theoretically but not actually.

When a large country had an industrial scale similar to that of India, its domestic oil could fully support its own oil needs. However, when India reached this stage, its import ratio reached almost 85%, which can be said to be almost completely dependent on imports.

In the long run, the price of oil will definitely get higher and higher. The soaring oil price faced by a big country for development will only become more obvious when it falls on India, which is simply an unbearable burden for life.

In the 21st century, India did not discover much oil, let alone in the 1960s, when Allen Wilson colluded with oil-producing countries to impose an oil embargo on India, just to see the situation facing India, and whether Europe, which also lacks resources, can carry it After all, Britain has already shared the risk.

"I remembered, has your industry risen a lot recently?" Alan Wilson asked his wife. The oil industry is also an important industry for Pamela Mountbatten. After receiving the good news of India's oil embargo, it should rise theoretically. right.

"It's increased by a few pennies. Although India has no oil in its own country, its demand is far from reaching the point where it can cause fluctuations in the world market. Faced with an oil embargo, it must be difficult for them alone." Pamela Mountbatten She curled her lips, obviously not thinking that India has the ability to influence oil prices, "The United States has added more than 100,000 troops in Southeast Asia, and you don't seem to care at all."

"Isn't it just a re-enactment of the strategic bombing of Germany? There is nothing to be concerned about. That is, the strength of the free world exceeds that of the opponent. Otherwise, Washington will kill us." Now that the Vietnam War has officially started, Ai Ren Wilson stopped pretending and began to mock America unscrupulously.

In the situation of the Cold War, even if a certain big country united with the Soviet Union and never turned their faces, the probability of victory in the free world is higher than that of the hostile camp. Unless India also changes color, then the free world will be finished.

As for decades later, as long as the Cold War starts again, victory will be easier than this time. The industrial scale of a certain big country needs resources to support it. It is not that a certain big country has too few resources, but that the industrial scale is too large. is not accurate.

Once the rhythm of the Cold War begins, it will take several decades, and he believes that the free world can win again.

But the problem is that the United States seems to be reluctant to pay the price, which means that it wants both. It is impossible to always think of winning without paying a price. Another point is that the United States can't afford to benefit and doesn't want to benefit.

The U.S. military in the Vietnam War, the ground troops were like Ukraine, piled up in South Vietnam, and the air force was like Russia, talking with bombs. How could this win the war?

While the couple attended the celebration, Dixon was discussing the direction of the India-Pakistan war with Soviet ambassador Victor. Moscow still took the initiative to ask whether Britain would mediate the war.

A day later, Alan Wilson, who came back from a private trip, found out about this, shook his head and said, "This is just the beginning. Only when the two countries are bored is the opportunity to mediate. If they mediate now, both countries will think that they are at a loss." That’s right. We’d better prepare for the European Community meeting, and wait until the meeting is over, and we’ll probably go to mediation after the meeting is over. Just answer the Soviets like this.”

The mediation between the two countries is involved, and the location of the mediation is also a problem. The Soviet Union will definitely not be happy if it is in London, but the UK is not willing to be in Moscow.

There are only a few locations, Geneva? Forget it anyway. Those goblins in Zurich are not worthy, it is better to be in Stockholm.

"Then we reply that Moscow is waiting?" Dixon said of the inquiry, "and tell the Prime Minister the same?"

"Oh, my God, can we hide this kind of thing from the Prime Minister? But we must emphasize the importance of the European Community meeting. France is speaking for Germany and wants a greater voice." Alan Wilson gave Dixon a hint , This European Community is not the European Community. This European Community is a product of the newspapers and groups of colonial countries. Today, Britain and France both agree that the EU model of one person, one vote must not be used.

I don’t know if Europeans care about eating but not fighting. Poland has used the system of one person, one veto, which has caused Poland, a major country in Eastern Europe from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea, to become a European stepping-cloth. Fortunately, the European Community, which was born out of European colonial countries, does not have this thing. At present, the European Community can be said to be a kind of democratic centralism. In theory, everyone has equal rights, but in fact, as long as France is dealt with, the United Kingdom can lead resolutions that are beneficial to the United Kingdom.

Germany and Japan are both countries that have lowered their exchange rates under the acquiescence of the United States. From post-war to now, Germany has surpassed France to become the second largest in Europe. Now that the Vietnam War broke out, the United States also intends to improve Germany's status to prevent problems with Europe's defense forces when the United States fights in Southeast Asia.

However, Alan Wilson still believes in France. Once France has completely digested Algeria, it will be able to regain its advantage over Germany unless Germany is unified.

As usual, Rabo Butler participated in the European Community Foreign Ministers' Meeting, and Alan Wilson knew in his heart that Prime Minister Eden was the one who was in charge of the overall situation.

"Aren't you in control of Britain's foreign policy? I should be thankful that you came to see me in your busy schedule." Hepburn was holding her son and breastfeeding, but her tone was always sour.

"I'm also busy, so I'll come here whenever I have time." Supreme Authority was full of grievances at the moment, slapping his chest to express his loyalty to Ball Flower, "You are so graceful when breastfeeding, my dear, You are the embodiment of the word elegance, and I am sure there will be no objection."

"I know how to say it nicely~lightnovelpub.net~ Hepburn put down the bottle, hugged her son and shook, "I know you're busy, there's nothing to say. "

"I am very grateful for this understanding." Alan Wilson hit the snake with the stick and kissed the back of Hepburn's hand. "Actually, it's nothing. It's just running for peace and protecting the development of Europe."

Alan Wilson is here to deal with private affairs, while Rabo Butler is talking about Europe's energy dependence in Brussels. Europe does not have much energy distribution. Europe should avoid the current situation in India, and one day it will be encountered by Europe.

"The Soviet Union built an oil pipeline. In fact, we can think of a way based on this pipeline, not completely dependent on the oil and natural gas in the Middle East." German Foreign Minister Gerhard Schroeder mentioned that the Soviet Union last year Completed friendship pipeline, think it's a way to spread the risk?

When the news came from Brussels, Aiden launched a consultation on this, thinking about whether it was risky. Alan Wilson was suspicious and resolutely opposed, "This will reduce the role of North Sea oil."

"But the production of oil in the North Sea is limited." Aiden was also a little embarrassed, "France doesn't seem to object to this, and it has the same attitude as the Germans."
