Chapter 942: The Kremlin's Monster
Kovasinevsky looked at the report submitted by the congressional side, his face pale. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Since the discovery of the Kara oil fields and the Zacklin-3 oil project, Europe has turned its attention back to the Soviet Union. Originally, they tried to get rid of the Soviet Union's dependence on gas heating and oil pipeline transportation, looking for opportunities in Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern countries. Unfortunately, the pipeline had to go through the Assad family's Syria, and Hafez, the lion of the Middle East, was a die-hard ally of the Soviet Union and would not agree to such a plan. As for the original Libya, the armed forces supported by the Soviet Union are doing their best to stir up the situation, not giving Western Europe the slightest respite, and they have only one goal, to prevent oil exporting countries from reducing oil supplies to Europe by all means.
As a result, the countries of Western Europe, which were clamoring to break the Soviet gas monopoly, had to face the embarrassing fact that the cost of importing gas from other regions was much higher than that from the Soviet Union. Coupled with the breakthrough of transportation restrictions on pipeline technology, the Soviet Union dared to play an energy price war with OPEC with confidence.
The uncle who sells pancakes and fruits downstairs threatens to monopolize the pancakes and fruits of the entire community. What was originally a cold joke turned into an embarrassing reality at this time. And no one would be stupid enough not to buy the cheap oil transported by the Eastern European pipeline, and go to Saudi Arabia to be slaughtered by a group of dogs.
The next big bobo had a rough time. The Soviet Union was originally prepared to offer Poland a billion-dollar oil deal, but recently postponed the plan, causing Poland to suffer heavy losses. The Soviet Union's move to cross the river and tear down the bridge directly increased the price of oil in Poland by 5 percent.
The corners of Kovasinevsky's mouth twitched, he was completely unexpected. Seeing that the Soviet Union did not set an example on the Romanian issue, it was even more bold to send more armored troops.
But now they understand that the Soviets will only act when they reach the limit of tolerance.
And you will never be merciful after you start.
"Let Grella come to my office, yes, right now, there's something very important."
Kovacinewski hurriedly asked his international adviser for countermeasures, especially when international oil prices fell, but Poland's own domestic market was rising. He crossed his legs and carefully studied the report submitted by Congress, then shook his head helplessly.
He had thought about turning to OPEC oil producers to increase their oil supplies to Poland, but the Polish president underestimated the shamelessness of Middle Eastern oil capitalists. The price they offer is 6 percent higher than the rising domestic oil price market, which is simply taking advantage of the fire, and the high price is difficult for Kovasinev to accept, but for a while there is no other way out.
The door to the president's office was opened, and a medium-sized-looking Greera entered, sitting directly across from Kwasniewski and respectfully accepting the documents with both hands.
After listening to the ins and outs, international adviser Greilla closed the previous document, looked at the worried president in front of him, and said slowly, "I understand the president's mood very well, because this move of the Soviet Union is to force us to the death, using oil prices to force us to make concessions on the battlefield in Poland." Therefore, it is imperative to stabilize domestic oil prices. Now that we are engaged in a peacekeeping war in Romania, it could push oil prices into an irretrievable abyss if they are pitted against oil exporters. Therefore, it is necessary to come up with an effective means to stop the deterioration of the situation. ”
As soon as he heard Romania, Kovasinevsky's face became strange, and his hands were waving back and forth uneasily, as if he was thinking about something.
Poland carried out the task of "peacekeeping" in Romania, in fact, sending troops that had not been at war for a long time to be honed on the battlefield. On the one hand, it was in return for the armament given by Germany, and on the other hand, out of fear of the Soviets. If Romania falls, will he be next?
The stronger Poland's determination to become a European power, which is why despite the opposition of the Prime Minister and other cabinet members, Poland supported the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff of the Army in the mission of peacekeeping the war in Romania.
"Your Excellency, what's wrong?" Greila placed the papers on her lap and looked at the President suspiciously.
"It is impossible to withdraw troops, Poland will not retreat even if it is killed. We are not an oil-rich country, so we have to go to the former Eastern European Union countries. ”
"And Poland is not the country of the Soviet socialist camp that everyone once ravaged, now we are moving to the point of becoming a European power, Germany, the Soviet Union, France, England, those countries that have committed crimes directly or indirectly on Polish soil, are the objects of our revenge!"
Although Kovasinevsky was stubborn in his words, he had no bottom in his heart, and no one dared to have the slightest idea of contempt for the Soviet Union. His repeated emphasis was more like hypnotizing himself, making him "think" that Poland was strong.
If Poland is considered a "great power", then the Soviets they faced were "hell".
Moscow is not only tough to the point of perversion, but also more scheming than expected.
Looking at the unreasonable Polish president, the security adviser sighed with a helpless expression. I really don't know what the leaders of this country are thinking. This group of guys who are full of thoughts about Poland as the number one in the world must face reality.
"President Kovasinevsky, now is not the time for us to be strong. If Yanayev was able to control the entire European oil supply market in seven years, wouldn't it be more than enough for them to deal with Poland? Moscow has already reached an agreement with OPEC on oil production, do you know what the content of one of these agreements is? It is that the USSR had to occupy half of the share of Europe, and if it did not agree, the development of the Kara oil fields gave them the capital to fight an oil war with the entire OPEC alliance! The mousselin of the Middle East has long since succumbed to the believers of communism! Otherwise, why did these bastards immediately cooperate very well in raising the price of the additional supply of crude oil by five percent as soon as the price of oil prices in the Soviet Union was cut off? It's to make us more alive than dead! Now that they can do this, will we have a good life if we continue to fight with Yanayev? ”
The reminder of the international political adviser was like a thunderbolt from the blue, and a slap in the face of President Kovasinevsky, who was intoxicated with the dream of a European power, made his face hurt.
"General Secretary Yanayev is targeting Romania, and we all know that the countries of Eastern Europe have abundant oil reserves. Wasn't joining the Romanian Civil War to give Poland a greater advantage and say in terms of oil? The problem now is that we have not taken the initiative in the oil pipeline, but have been countered by the opponent! ”
Guerrilla originally thought that as long as Poland could quickly stabilize the situation in Romania, they would be able to control at least half of the oil pipeline output, which was Poland's biggest opportunity. The United States and Germany only wanted to contain the expansion of the Soviet Union, but they did not realize that Romania had a pitiful oil pipeline and transportation pipelines.
The strength of a country determines the vision of the leader, and Kovasinevsky can only see the importance of oil, ignoring the fact that once the Soviet Union occupies Romania, the blow will be devastating for the West.
"What should we do?" Kovasinevsky, realizing the gravity of the situation, tried to ask for help.
"What else can be done, negotiate with the chairman of the Soviets." In desperation, the presidential adviser gave a final suggestion, "We are not their opponents, and we should strive to gain an advantage without harming Romania's interests." That is the real purpose of this negotiation. President Kovasinevsky. Reinforcements to Romania were our last resort, and the Soviet Union did not want to delay in Romania for any longer. ”
"Why are you negotiating with him again?"
As soon as he remembered Yanayev's indifferent face, Kwasnievsky had a sense of foreboding.
"Because we have no way back, it's going to be a tough war."
The presidential adviser frowned and rubbed his temples, he had already realized that the Soviet Union was going to force Poland to make this move so that they could seize the initiative.
Thinking of Yanayev's gloomy face, he felt irrepressible fear.
Grella rubbed her cheek with her hand, trying to calm herself down. "Soon we'll meet that terrible red monster again," he said slowly. (To be continued.) )
