v2 Chapter 1312: 2 traffickers

The meeting has continued to this day. In fact, more than two months have passed. The heads of state gathered in Stockholm. Naturally, they came to end the negotiations and sign documents. Otherwise, why would they come?

Indian Prime Minister Shastri is undoubtedly the busiest person. Whether it is Eden or Kosygin, they all met with the Indian Prime Minister with an attitude of wooing India.

Although it is said that after India was beaten up by a certain big country, its international influence has declined tremendously, but in the face of opponents like Pakistan, both Britain and the Soviet Union still recognize that India is a powerful big country, and they also use practical actions to provide Help for India this time.

While taking back the occupied land, Shastri paid more attention to the current oil embargo imposed on India by the Church of Peace. Oil is the blood of modern industry, not just for refueling.

The chemical industry also needs oil. Once India cuts off the import of oil, the Indian chemical industry will be paralyzed.

The chemical industry includes basic chemical industry and plastic, synthetic fiber, petroleum, rubber, pharmaceutical, dye industries, etc., each of which is extremely important to people's livelihood. The oil crisis launched by the Arab countries to Europe and the United States has directly caused national economic regression in European and American countries, including the United States. The power of this can be seen.

It is considered that European and American countries in this era are real industrial powers. If they are replaced by a society dominated by the tertiary industry in a few decades, the trauma will only be greater.

The Congress Party is also a political party that advocates industrialization. When Nehru was alive, he attached great importance to the development of industry. India itself has no oil resources, but it wants to develop industries. Of course, oil also comes from the Middle East. But this time the Middle East has shown with practical actions that they are on the side of Pakistan.

Shastri asked Aiden for help that India suffered an oil embargo, which also fell into Alan Wilson's eyes. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no matter what time and space it is, India will face the same problem. Oil is India's weakness that cannot be ignored. If there are problems in agriculture, look at onions, and if there are problems in industry, look at oil. Even the old fairy couldn't solve these two problems.

Even decades later, India's development is tightly bound by oil, and a big country can still rely on its own resources to solve part of it. India really has no solution at all. Just as oil resources are distributed along the boundaries of British India, the entire British India, including Pakistan, does not have such resources.

For this reason, when Europe and the United States unanimously sanctioned Russia, India also closed its eyes as if it did not see it, and must import discounted oil.

When Iran encountered sanctions, India also tried its best to be on the side of helping Iran lift the sanctions. This was all due to the lack of oil resources.

"If the UK forces the Arab world to lift the embargo, it will only make the local Arabs dissatisfied with the UK." Alan Wilson has already figured out a solution since he conspired to contact the Arab countries to open the oil embargo, and it happens to be used today." Now out of religious feelings, the entire Arab world and even the entire peace religion country are very dissatisfied with India. If you want to solve India's energy crisis, you can only rely on areas that cannot be influenced by religion."

Reminded by Alan Wilson, Aiden immediately understood what the secretary-general of the cabinet was referring to, and said to Shastri, "South Sudan, Africa also has local oil resources, and the oil pipeline passing through British Kenya has been completed. South Sudan The local mainstream belief has nothing to do with the Arab countries, and it is considered a reliable oil producing area. Of course, Malaya also has oil resources, but the local Malays also share the same religious belief as Pakistan, so there are not many choices for India.”

"This? I don't know what the price is." Shastri still hopes that Britain can lift the oil embargo imposed by Arab countries on India. Doesn't Britain still have troops stationed in the Middle East?

This is impossible. What good does this do for Britain? Now it is not the period of British India. Why did Britain offend the protectorate in the Middle East because of India?

So Aiden directly said that it is not that the UK has not asked about this aspect, but the attitude of the Arab countries is very tough, and the UK should not be too persuasive.

"I don't know the price of oil in South Sudan?" Shastri was a little distressed. The Indian industry has been shut down because of the oil embargo. This time the oil embargo has indeed hurt India a lot.

This is of course, why did Alan Wilson embargo India's oil, didn't he just want to see how much India was affected in the next year, and then remind Europe?

But on such an occasion to show the unity of Britain and India, he can only talk about business. South Sudan’s oil can indeed be provided to India, but South Sudan is also independent. It is not Britain’s own thing. Even if it is Britain’s, it cannot be cheap. Selling to India, "This requires communication between India, Henan and Sudan. Of course, Britain is willing to play a bridge role in it."

Now India has no choice. With the Arab countries embargoing India, India has almost no choice. Of course, it can choose the Soviet Union, but what about Soviet oil?

Oil and natural gas are different. Natural gas pipelines reduce costs, but oil has the lowest shipping costs.

India is geographically in a good place, very close to the Persian Gulf, but almost all the countries in the Persian Gulf have a bad impression of India. The first is because of the existence of Pakistan, and the second is because of sectarian conflicts in India, and big news breaks out from time to time. Otherwise, future generations of India will not chase after Iran.

For the oil in South Sudan, a big country in later generations is the largest buyer. Because of the industrial scale, a big country needs a lot of oil, and the United States dominates the Middle East. A big country must share risks and not allow its energy to be too dependent on the United States. Operating in the Middle East.

But now it is different. Britain controls the oil in South Sudan and can provide India with an alternative. This is a difficult problem that the Soviet Union is temporarily unable to help India solve.

As for the role of the United Kingdom, it should be a second-hand dealer. This is also an important reason why India imported Russian oil in later generations. Imported Russian oil sold to Europe. India's diesel export volume hit a record high in a year, and nearly one-third of it was sold to Europe. The price of diesel in Europe has risen by US$100 per ton in the past month, and India has made a lot of money by being a middleman to make the difference Full.

The initiative to supply India with oil from South Sudan is in the hands of the United Kingdom. Aiden also fully recognizes this. Shastri is still very busy when he comes to Stockholm this time. Sijin rallied for support and quickly left Aiden's room.

"The Soviet Union also attached great importance to India." After Shastri left, Aiden expressed his feelings, "Why do many countries in the world want to have good relations with the Soviet Union?"

"The Soviet Union is indeed a powerful country. Prime Minister! Influence cannot be ignored." Alan Wilson smiled wryly. Not to mention that Russia after the disintegration of the Soviet Union was sanctioned like that, there are still many pro-Russian forces in various countries.

The countries that are really anti-Russian are those in Eastern Europe. Of course, the United States also hopes to completely bring Russia down. The United Kingdom does not necessarily want to do anything about Russia. It's just that the future generations of Britain have long been bound together with the United States.

If the United States really wants to target a country, the United Kingdom can only follow suit. Originally, Britain and a certain big country had a golden decade, imagining a bright future. The Huawei incident and the UK still wanted to resist resistance, saying that they had not found out the back door of Huawei, but in the end they were still unable to hold back their thighs, and adopted an attitude with the United States.

Leaving Aiden's room, Alan Wilson wandered aimlessly with his hands in his trouser pockets, and then saw an acquaintance, that KGB officer, who was in the prime of his life in a suit and leather shoes.

Alexeyev also saw him, and the two looked at each other, looking at each other. Alan Wilson said first, "You still look better in military uniform, why? They are investigating potential destinations and are planning to change places." Do you want to show your skills?"

"Sir Wilson, long time no see." Faced with the words of his identity, Alekseev chose to avoid ~lightnovelpub.net~ and greeted the British with a smile, "This time the Soviet Union and Britain’s joint mediation of the India-Pakistan conflict can be regarded as a good start for our two countries’ international cooperation. Don’t talk with gunpowder, the two countries will get along for a long time.”

"Yes, get along for a long time." Alan Wilson almost laughed out loud, thinking that it is right to get along for a long time, and I don't know if it will be called the Soviet Union or Russia at that time.

Alan Wilson nodded and left the other party's sight. At night, the Queen of Sweden moved out the pillow and two blankets and lay down. The warm bed, the cool night, and the low curtain full of stars seem to hang on your eyelids. So far in life, what more can I ask for?!

Three days later, under the witness of British Prime Minister Eden and Soviet Council of Ministers Chairman Kosygin, Pakistani President Ayub Khan and Indian Prime Minister Shastri signed the Stockholm Declaration. Separately retreat to pre-war garrisons and discuss economic, refugee and other issues to reach an agreement.

The declaration did not mention holding a referendum in Kashmir to determine its ownership in accordance with UN resolutions and the wishes of the Kashmiri people, but only generally proposed "non-interference in each other's internal affairs" and "resolving disputes between each other not by force but by peaceful means."

This is also normal. Why should the Kashmir issue be resolved? Moreover, Britain and the Soviet Union cannot solve this problem. To solve it, India and Pakistan must solve it themselves. How to explain domestically, then don't do their business.

The Soviet Union has expanded its influence, and Britain has maintained a good relationship with India. It can also be used as a second-hand oil dealer. As for India and Pakistan, that is not important at all.
