"Now that Paris and Moscow are fighting fiercely, we naturally agree. In fact, France does not lack oil. Algeria also produces oil." Allen Wilson commented in a neutral manner, "They are almost becoming key industries supporting the franc. , the real lack of oil is Germany. Of course we don’t like France’s promotion of Germany’s voice, but the United States is doing the same thing, which is very troublesome.”

Want to use Germany and Japan to balance Britain and France? Alan Wilson has long understood this trend, so he used Malaya to hedge against Japan, and put more pressure on Australia while the British heritage is still there.

Eden also agrees with this point of view. If it’s just France, it’s fine. The key is that the United States also relies heavily on Germany and hopes that Germany will take on the task of resisting the ground forces of the Soviet Union. .

"The Prime Minister's consideration is right, it is indeed very difficult." Alan Wilson expressed his agreement, Germany has always had a higher status than Japan. Japan has an unspoken rule that its military spending should not exceed 1%, but Germany does not. Japan's armed forces can only be called the Self-Defense Forces, while Germany is a real army.

In addition to race, this difference is also related to the fact that the main direction of the Soviet Union was Europe. The main direction of the Soviet Union has always been Europe, and it has not been shifted until its disintegration.

On the contrary, in the direction of Asia, it is impossible for a certain major country to exert any pressure on Japan. It is impossible to cross the strait, and it still wants to threaten Japan?

Things are universally connected, and if one aspect is adjusted, it will inevitably be linked to other aspects. Alan Wilson originally intended to use the oil embargo to India to remind Europe to prepare early and not be caught off guard. But he forgot that the Soviet Union's oil pipeline had just been completed and had already reached the territory of the Democratic Republic of Germany. The Federal Republic of Germany suddenly remembered that it could obtain energy from Eastern Europe.

This is not surprising, after all, the head of state's living space theory is essentially aimed at Eastern Europe. Germany was also the biggest beneficiary of the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Not only was it reunified, it also took the economic interests of Eastern Europe into its hands, and in one fell swoop got rid of the negative impact of the Plaza Accord signed at the same time as Japan.

Germany also signed the Plaza Accord, but by devouring the development of the GDR for decades, the negative impact of the Plaza Accord was offset, and the vast Eastern European market helped Germany take off. Not to mention getting rid of the strong Deutsche Mark, using the integrated euro to dump Eastern Europe, using Russian energy to stabilize the value of the euro, and so on.

During the civil war in Yugoslavia, the Germans were not clean, and they were the first to intervene. Such a variety of natural activities in Germany greatly increased the gap between Japan and Italy, two defeated countries, and their economic influence in Europe surpassed that of Britain and France. above the country.

Now the de Gaulle government is flirting with Moscow, but de Gaulle is actively developing friendly relations with the Soviet Union, and once invited Soviet leader Khrushchev and his family to visit Paris. During the talks between the leaders of the Soviet Union, France and the Soviet Union, de Gaulle talked to Khrushchev about "détente, understanding, and cooperation. To establish a system of "Great Europe from the Atlantic Ocean to the Ural Mountains".

France’s oil in Algeria can at best support itself. Adding Spain, Libya can serve Italy, Greece, and the countries around the North Sea oil, leaving little for Germany. Of course, Germany has a good relationship with Iran now. But Iran is also a country in the Middle East, and it is also among the countries that have imposed an oil embargo on India this time. Besides, Iran is too far away.

Now Alan Wilson is very entangled. When he thinks of the Soviet Union supplying European energy, he can think of Beixi No. 2. Although it is a natural gas pipeline, if it is in the field of natural gas, the British situation is even more embarrassing. More trouble.

If Britain opposes taking over the oil and gas pipelines from the Soviet Union, the result is likely to be that France dominates the European energy market, and oil may not be enough. It is not so easy for Britain to check and balance France.

Algeria is the second largest supplier of natural gas in the future, and its total energy supply to Europe exceeds that of Norway, but is lower than that of Russia.

The barren energy distribution in Europe stumped Allen Wilson at once. If Britain opposed the Soviet Union, it might lead to France becoming bigger. And France, a dubious ally, flirted with the Soviet Union.

"We will either see France dominating the European energy market, or we will see oil and gas from Eastern Europe enter Europe. I don't think eggs can be put in one basket." After thinking hard, Alan Wilson smiled bitterly with constipation, "This is a Difficult choice, Prime Minister."

Either choose France or choose the Soviet Union. This is not a pleasant choice. Eden is not willing to face this choice, but he has to choose, "We have no objection to Germany's use of Soviet energy. Germany wants to have good relations with Eastern European countries. It will also take a few years. Maybe then we will be able to come up with a better way to deal with it."

Believe in the wisdom of future generations, right? Alan Wilson almost couldn't hold back his laughter, but he suggested, "We don't object clearly, but it must be a new pipeline dedicated to supplying Germany. It can't pass through the land of any country and go directly to Germany. If Germany can Solve this problem, we agree."

In fact, this is the Beixi No. 2 transportation line. As long as Beixi No. 2 is activated, Russia can stop the pipeline in Ukraine. This country in the province is pulling wool from Russia every day.

"Isn't this putting Germany's energy security in the hands of the Soviets?" When Maggins came to the cabinet office, he heard Alan Wilson's suspicious question, "Can't Norway supply the energy needs of the Germans?"

"The production capacity is not enough, it can't be done. From the perspective of the UK, we can only choose one of the French Trans-Mediterranean and the Soviet Union's Baltic Sea pipeline. You choose France, and the Charles de Gaulle government is so difficult to contact now. It really makes the French occupy European energy. The market is more qualified to challenge us." Alan Wilson took a long breath, "Theoretically, we don't want to choose, but isn't it our initiative to pay attention to energy security?"

"France controls the European energy market? Then let's choose the Soviet Union. It is estimated that the Soviets will not agree so quickly. After the land pipeline is built, a sea pipeline will be built? And the reconciliation between Germany and Eastern European countries is also a problem. A few years of mediation is not enough." Makins nodded in agreement, "But once France starts construction, it will not be so difficult. This threat is close at hand, and the threat of the Soviet Union is far away."

Alan Wilson nodded, "It really happened. We can send the navy to destroy that ocean pipeline just like cutting off the Atlantic cable in World War I. But if we want to treat France like this, we can't find an excuse to do so. Will not watch us fight with the French."

At this moment, the law that heretics are more hateful than heretics shines on the Cabinet Office. The Soviet Union may not necessarily do anything to Britain, but France will. Now that London has been discussed, Rabo Butler in Brussels communicates this attitude to Bonn.

Allen Wilson asked Maggins to summon the people from the Ministry of Defense to come up with a design drawing, which must be landed from the original British-occupied area, and now near the British military base in Germany. The coast of the Federal Republic of Germany belongs to the original British-occupied area. , Doing so can control the valve of Germany's energy in the hands of the British garrison, and maybe it will increase Britain's influence on Germany.

"Could it be that France is stuck in the throat besides the Soviet Union?" Pamela Mountbatten asked with a full face, "Isn't it just a little more expensive, and Germany's economy is also good."

"Honey, Germany is not a colony. Oil is easy to manage, but natural gas is difficult." Alan Wilson replied with a wry smile, "Unless we take out the electric cars that were eliminated at the beginning of the century, it is estimated that the cost will be lost every year."

Electric cars are not new, let alone electric cars. Steam cars existed in Britain at the beginning of the 20th century. At that time, no one knew the direction of future car development. But as a result, we have now seen that gasoline vehicles have eliminated electric vehicles. If it were not for the high price of oil in the future, electric vehicles would not be able to revive.

When the two were discussing, Rabo Butler was still talking nonsense in Brussels, showing Britain's preparedness for danger in times of peace, and self-boasting with a long-term vision. Taking advantage of the difficulties faced by India to remind Europe of the importance of energy security, at the same time, they also cooperated vertically and horizontally at the European Community meeting, and had friendly exchanges with France on the issue of Germany's status.

And India, which is under an oil embargo~lightnovelpub.net~ is gritting its teeth and preparing to change the current isolated situation from the battlefield, hoping to win the war and solve the current predicament.

Indians do not know that the current predicament is related to the former assistant to the British Indian Commissioner. India is indeed an oil-poor country. The oil embargo has forced India to deal with it immediately, prohibiting domestic motor vehicles from refueling in large quantities, and cracking down on those who drive up oil prices. Behavior.

The oil crisis aimed at India this time is actually rarely solved. India can’t but Britain can, because Malaya also produces oil, and Kenya’s oil pipeline can also solve India’s urgent needs, but now is not the time. If China's oil embargo lasts for a year and a half, Britain will be able to cut the leeks of this former colony on energy issues.

"You put all your ingenuity on India." Pamela Mountbatten was a little amused, not knowing whether to praise or derogate her husband.

"It can only be said that the colonial heritage is quite rich, and it is not a problem to deal with India." Alan Wilson puffed up his chest proudly, "How can we see the pearl of the British Empire fall? Of course I do not deny that it must be the most difficult time for them." When it’s time, just give them a hand.”
