Chapter 386: Only admiration remains
So she replied calmly, "Mr. Ma Wei, that's the case, I'm sure you've already guessed some." So to tell you the truth, on behalf of the Canadian Ministry of Defence, I want to confirm what kind of relationship does Brexit have with you Russia?"
Communication between smart people is direct. Some unnecessary excuses that go around and around, saying too much will be offensive.
After listening to Victoria's words, Mavi blinked, looking at her a little differently. Unexpectedly, those high-level officials of the Canadian government were not as calm and direct as the woman in front of them.
"Brexit? Actually, when I heard the news, I was shocked. I didn't expect to say Brexit, and it was Brexit. This has nothing to do with us in Russia, it's all a matter within the EU. Mavi raised his shoulders and replied.
Brexit is really not secretly planned by their Russia. Including Germany and France, who excluded him, probably did not expect the British to be so extreme...... Isn't it just a supplementary budget of $2.4 billion? Leaving the European Union is about to be withdrawn......
After listening to Ma Wei's answer, the Canadian beauty congressman walking beside her looked at Ma Wei's side face with hesitation. According to the intelligence, before the G-8 summit, someone had clearly been to the United Kingdom, and he had approached Cabinet Secretary Joel Luke and told him something.
So after the G8 summit, Cabinet Minister Joel Luke found the British Prime Minister for the first time. As for the content of the conversation between the two, it is unknown. But if you want to guess, it has a lot to do with Britain's exit from the European Union.
"Mr. Mavi, let me tell you so straight to the point! The $30 billion order of our Royal Canadian Navy was originally intended to be divided into the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and other EU countries. And now things have changed, so you also know that maybe your country's North Sea shipyard will be favored by our Canadian government, or not. ”
Victoria said to Mavi with a smile. Since someone is unwilling to admit something to her face, she doesn't force it to ask to the end. In any case, friendship between countries is often based on interests. There are no absolute friends, and there are no absolute enemies, and any decision made has to weigh the pros and cons......
Seeing the beautiful Canadian parliamentarian, she was very smart and tempted by the international bidding in front of herself. Ma Wei knew that he had met an opponent. In addition to the superficial bells and whistles, the most essential thing is the issue of interests. Canada is now paying for its allies to seek common development.
Regardless of whether Brexit was done by Russia or not, Victoria just wants to confirm that the whole of Europe will be the world of the European Union in the end. Or the Russians allied with the British against Germany, France and other countries. Or simply Russia, the United Kingdom, the European Union, the triumvirate.
Anyway, they Canada just want to find the strongest force, place orders, and build a good relationship in the future.
"This favor of your country, to be honest, we in Russia do not dare to hope for it. So at the original meeting, we, Russia, did not even report the offer. Mavi did not give a positive answer.
He knows what Canadians want to know. But it's ...... The British, on their part, have not given him a clear message, saying that they want to form a preliminary alliance with Russia. Including the top level of the British government, there are no arrangements in the near future to visit Russia and contact feelings.
"But then again, Miss Victoria, I know the pride of the British. They said they were going to leave the EU, and they would do it. Once the UK leaves the EU, the domestic economy may be eased in the short term. But in the long run, he will inevitably need some new allies. Otherwise, the economic downturn is an inevitable trend. Ma Wei added.
According to memory, in the three years since the UK announced its withdrawal from the European Union, the transportation industry, commerce, finance, and manufacturing industries have been affected to varying degrees.
What Mavi meant by this was to tell the representative of the Canadian Ministry of Defense that once the British economy weakened, there would be a high probability that he would seek a Russian alliance. After all, the overall economy of Russia is showing a clear upward trend. In particular, the Internet industry, as well as the energy industry and the mobile phone communication industry, have developed extremely rapidly......
After listening to someone's words, Victoria nodded thoughtfully. What Ma Wei said, although it has not happened yet, is also a factor that cannot be ignored.
It's just that at present, they can't pin their hopes on so long. If Britain and Russia cannot be allies. Then they are likely to choose France and Germany, which have a certain friendship.
However, just as Victoria was thinking. A sudden message reached her Google phone. That is, "the British Prime Minister announced this afternoon that he will visit Russia in five days......"
As soon as this news came out, it immediately made the beautiful Canadian parliamentarian look contemplative. At such an important juncture, the British Prime Minister suddenly announced that he was going to visit Russia. The implication is obvious.
Almost at the same time, Ma Wei's smartphone also received this message. This makes someone finally see some hope and smile.
"Miss Victoria, I think you already know that the British Prime Minister will visit me in Russia in the near future. If all goes well, I believe that relations between Russia and Britain will be greatly enhanced. Mavi said to Victoria.
The move he made when he went to England is now playing a vital role. If he hadn't gone at that time, then with the arrogant character of the British, he would definitely not have been so abrupt and took the initiative to come to Russia to visit.
After listening to Mavi's words, Victoria bit her lip slightly. In the news she just received, in addition to saying that the British Prime Minister will visit Russia. Cabinet Secretary Joel Luke will also visit Russia during the trip.
The "Joel Luke", four words, does not only mean the British minister. More crucially, he is a cabinet member that someone met with some time ago. In other words, the British Prime Minister's visit, to a large extent, may have been facilitated by that person!
As soon as I thought of this, I saw the beautiful Canadian congressman standing beside me, and her whole expression became surprised and complicated...... Even looking at someone through her eyes, there seemed to be a hint of admiration......
After all, with her current status, it is definitely very difficult to do things to this extent. Even if the opportunity is in front of you, you may not have the strength to grasp it firmly.
