Harvey thought about it carefully, Zhu Mingyan really made some sense, nodded helplessly and said: "Okay, if Mr. Ambassador has any new cooperation intentions, you might as well say it directly, as long as it is really beneficial to my hall and our people, I will definitely fully cooperate!" ”

Zhu Mingyan smiled and said, "That's the case."

Today, Iraq has proven oil reserves of about 100 billion barrels, accounting for 10 percent of the world's total oil reserves.

I think Mr. President must be very annoyed by this huge amount of wealth, but because of the limitations of Iraq's oil development and drilling capacity, it can only be snatched away by the people of country M. ”

Harvid smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "Yes, the people of country M are robbing us of our oil, and I am indeed very annoyed, but the question is, I will also be annoyed if I replace the people of country M with you Chinese, is there any difference in this?" ”

Zhu Mingyan said: "I think Mr. President misunderstood what I meant. I absolutely do not mean to coerce Mr. President to transfer to us the benefits that the people of country M have seized from Iraq, such a thing is not something that we can do if we advocate peace and common development! ”

Harvid said "oh......" and said, "What do you mean?" ”

"I mean, we will send experts and technicians to help you improve your oil extraction and drilling technology, but the oil that is extracted will be given priority to the Iraqi side. But the price should be set by both of us, and both sides have the right to speak.

Iraq is not allowed to stop oil shipments to China without authorization, and China will not suspend the import of oil to Iraq without reason. Both sides are mutually beneficial, what do you think of this? Zhu Mingyan said with a smile.

Harvid pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Nowadays, the global demand for oil is rising in a straight line, but oil is used a little less, and the preciousness of oil is constantly emerging.

Huaxia is the largest in the world. The country with the fastest economic development has an obvious increase in demand for oil, and the ambassador wants to turn Iraq into an oil reserve base in China! ”

Zhu Mingyan shook his head and smiled: "Don't you think that Mr. President's oil strategic partnership is more appropriate?" What's more, isn't it more conducive to promoting the development of Iraq than the snatching of the red fruit in country M? With the gradual maturity of Iraq's petroleum technology. The daily production is constantly increasing. In addition to meeting the needs of our country, Iraq will become a new and strong competitor in the international market, like Saudi Arabia. Ushering in the rapid development of the country, why not? ”

Harvid said rationally: "The ambassador is right, this cooperation does give Iraq a chance to develop, but it is a drop in the bucket compared to the benefits that you Huaxia will get from it."

Not to mention the huge economic benefits you can grab. But the significance of politics is not trivial. Huaxia is a big oil importer, and 50 percent of its oil needs to be imported, which undoubtedly greatly increases the sensitivity of the Chinese government to world politics.

Once a large-scale war breaks out, China's oil demand will be immediately curbed, as if someone has choked the throat.

And now, with our oil partner in Iraq, Huaxia can sit back and relax.

How many years can Iraq's oil be extracted. Huaxia will not have to worry about oil for many years. Even Huaxia can take advantage of this to greatly reduce its dependence on the world economy, and no matter how soaring international oil prices are in the future, Huaxia can steadily become a Diaoyutai.

Not only that, but the related oil industry will also gain strength because the cost is much lower than that of the international market. Unrivalled competitiveness! It's really a huge profit! ”

Harvid is not a fool, he has three doctorates in economics, law, and politics, and it is not strange for Zhu Mingyan to see so much from them.

Zhu Mingyan also argued at all, spread his hands, and said with a smile: "Since we have paid, we naturally deserve it." If Mr. President thinks we're getting too much, you can choose not to cooperate with us! ”

Harvid smiled bitterly and said: "The country of Iraq has reached this point today, do I have any choice but to cooperate?" ”

Zhu Mingyan said lightly: "From Mr. President's words, I seem to have heard Mr. President's deep dissatisfaction, which makes me very uneasy!" I hope Mr. President, don't misunderstand that I'm taking advantage of the fire......"

"There is no free lunch in the world, and every qiē government is driven by interests, I know this very well! What's more, China's oil policy is much more civilized than that of country M! I can even agree to the request of country M that is close to robbery, not to mention that your mention is indeed a mutually beneficial cooperation, how can I be dissatisfied? If I can, I want to make an agreement with you so that the people of Iraq can have enough food sooner! ”

Harvid said calmly.

"I deeply admire Mr. President's love for the people and humanity. You can rest assured that the representative of Huaxia Petroleum Group has arrived in Iraq, and as long as it is convenient for Mr. President, you can sign the contract at any time! ”

Harvid nodded and said, "Good! Mr. Ambassador, you shouldn't have anything else to ask for, right? ”

Zhu Mingyan smiled bitterly and said: "Now I feel a little greedy myself, I'm very embarrassed, Mr. President, I have one last request, I hope Mr. President can agree!" ”

Harvid's brows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "I have already agreed to the most sensitive oil issue, what else can't I agree?" Mr. Ambassador, please speak! ”

Zhu Mingyan said slowly: "Mr. President, you also know that the situation in Iraq is very unstable, and oil fields and oil wells are the best targets for terrorists.

Now that we have reached an agreement to jointly develop Iraq's oil resources, I hope that Mr. President will allow our Chinese People's Liberation Army to be stationed in Iraq to protect the safety of the oil fields! ”

"What!? You Huaxia want to send troops to Iraq!? That's impossible! The stationing of US troops in Iraq has already made us feel humiliated, if Huaxia also comes to garrison troops, then I will simply die in front of the people of the whole country! ”

Harvey Zhai Zhu Mingyan's request was extremely excited, and he couldn't help but get up and shout loudly.

Havide's expression seemed to have been expected by Zhu Mingyan for a long time, so Zhu Mingyan was not surprised at all, and waited until Havide calmed down, and then Zhu Mingyan said with a smile: "Mr. President, don't be impatient......

"It's aggression! How do I get quiet!? Harvid said angrily.

Zhu Mingyan said with a smile: "Mr. President, listen to me, this is just our initial idea, but later, we also found that this is indeed a little inappropriate, so we came up with a second set of plans, that is, the Iraqi government will come forward to divide the area of 50 square kilometers of the oil field into a no-man's land and prohibit everyone from entering. Once the intruder is discovered, our Chinese side has the right to kill him! ”

Compared with the plan of the garrison, this plan was much easier to accept, and Harvid's feelings immediately calmed down, and after a moment of silence, he said slowly: "This doesn't sound difficult!" It's just that I want to know, you circled this no-man's land, not really just to protect the safety of the oil field, right? ”

Zhu Mingyan smiled and said, "Otherwise, what does Mr. President think we will do?" ”

Harvid shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I know it must not be that simple!" I want the ambassador to assure me that this fifty square kilometers of forbidden land will not bring disaster to my country and people! ”

Zhu Mingyan immediately said: "Please rest assured, Mr. President, if something really happens, I, Zhu Mingyan, am willing to bear it!" ”

Harvid nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then I can rest assured!" However, these two things you said are not up to me alone, and I need to get them to Congress for a vote! ”

Zhu Mingyan smiled: "Of course, this is a necessary procedure, but it is only a procedure, right, Mr. President?" ”

Harvid naturally understood the meaning of Zhu Ming's words, sighed, and nodded. "But you know, I need time to go through these procedures!" But the people of Iraq don't have much time left, and I hope ......"

Zhu Mingyan was very understanding, and said happily: "I understand this!" Mr. President, rest assured, I believe that Mr. President is a trustworthy leader, and I will immediately inform the head of the Heavenly Thorn and ask them to hand over the grain on those three ships to Mr. George as soon as possible, and as soon as the Mahadi is off the stage, all the grain stores will be reopened immediately! ”

Harvid nodded gratefully and said, "In that case, thank you, Mr. Ambassador." Still, I have a reluctant request, and I hope that Mr. Ambassador will grant me! ”

Zhu Mingyan looked at Harvid leisurely and muttered, "Mr. President, do you have to see the head of the sky?" ”

Havide smiled and said, "You also know that today's country of Iraq can barely be regarded as a three-legged stand.

Country M, the Heavenly Thorn, is two of them. Our Democracy Hall is barely the third foot.

I have really admired the Heavenly Thorn for a long time, and I have long wanted to meet with the head of the Heavenly Thorn, and if it is convenient for Mr. Ambassador, I will also invite Yu Ben to this small wish! ”

When Zhu Mingyan was a little hesitant, with a crisp laugh, Li Xiaogang and Lightning walked out together.

Zhu Mingyan's eyes lit up, and he pointed at Li Xiaogang and said to Harvid: "Mr. President, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Li Xiaogang, the head of the Heavenly Thorn, and this Mr. Lightning is the commander-in-chief of the Heavenly Thorn in the Iraqi region!" ”

Harvid's eyes lit up suddenly, as if his gaze was attached to Li Xiaogang and Lightning's bodies, and he couldn't move away no matter what.

The two stand side by side, Li Xiaogang is certainly handsome, and lightning is also equally powerful.

At first glance, Harvid looked like he had been punched in the heart, and his heart couldn't help but beat wildly, and he was deeply impressed by the demeanor of the two. (To be continued.) (。 ))
