Chapter 1214 Prime Minister of Canada

"Mr. Prime Minister, very welcome to the Soviets. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" In the Kremlin, Andrei looked at the tall and handsome Canadian Prime Minister in front of him, Martin Brian Malroni, with a smile.

If Ukraine produces beautiful women, then Canada is a handsome guy, these descendants of Europe, almost all of them are beautiful men, handsome, chic, and now Martin, who is not yet fifty years old, exudes the vitality of a middle-aged man.

Prime Minister of Canada! This was a historic breakthrough, and after several invitations from the Soviet Embassy in Canada, the Canadian Prime Minister finally came to Moscow in person.

Martin was quite resistant to this visit, after all, he was not very reluctant to come, and it can even be said that it was the Soviet troops in Alaska who held military exercises every day that made him have to come here.

The two hands shook together, and Andre, with a smile on his face, invited Martin into the hall and sat down on the chair next to him.

"We, the Soviets, did not have too frequent exchanges with Canada in the past, but in the future, we will vigorously develop our relations, especially since Canada is also a big country with oil reserves."

If you want to control a country, you must find the key points of the other party! Canada's soft underbelly is also a lot, for example, Canada's oil!

Canada is a very peculiar country, for example, Canada has the second largest oil reserves in the world! However, it has never had any influence, and even Canada needs to import refined oil products from the United States, which is simply wonderful!

This is because Canada's crude oil is not too much, 98% of their huge crude oil reserves are in the form of oil sands, and the extraction cost of this thing can be said to be comparable to shale oil, as high as more than $30 per barrel!

Therefore, as soon as the international oil price falls, Canada's oil companies will begin to lay off employees and even go bankrupt, and they will not start to make profits until the oil price rises.

Moreover, what is even more terrifying is that these oil sands are in high latitudes, which is very difficult to mine, and in the Middle East, it is rare to hear that the exploitation of crude oil kills people, but in Canada's oil companies, a part of the death funds are prepared! The climate here is quite harsh.

At the same time, there is also the issue of environmental protection, Canadians are quite attached to environmental protection, for the oil sands that need two barrels of water to mine a barrel of oil, this thing is too polluting to the environment! Therefore, there are often people who hold a march or something.

Mining is already quite expensive, refining refined oil, it is even more difficult, Canada mined oil sands, almost all exported to the United States, handed over to the United States to refine, and Canada's own refined oil, but need the United States to export.

Roughly, that's the relationship.

It can be said that the lifeblood of Canada's oil companies is in the hands of the Soviet Union, and the oil-producing countries in the Middle East all listen to the Soviet Union, and if the Soviet Union maliciously increases oil production, then all Canadian oil companies will definitely go bankrupt!

"Yes, Marshal Andrei, in the future, we really want to strengthen cooperation between us." Martin said that he was threatened by the other party when he came up, and Martin was very angry in his heart, but Martin had to endure it now, because he knew that if he didn't bear it, the other party might have more tricks.

Now, who else would dare to provoke the USSR? Just look at the United States, the current domestic turmoil in the United States is all done by the Soviets! And the Soviets wanted to hit Canada, it was simply too easy! Those troops in Alaska are ready to rush to the territory of Canada!

Canada is the second largest country in the world, second only to the Soviet Union, but Canada's military strength is weak, and the entire Canada has only about 100,000 troops! Moreover, there are no advanced weapons, such as the main army, that is, some Leopard 1 tanks!

It can be said that if the Soviet Union is angered, in half a month, the Soviet army will be able to pass through the entire territory of Canada and kill the capital Ottawa!

Canada, no matter what international affairs, plays a supporting role, has been accustomed to acting under the aura of the United States, and now, the United States has suddenly fallen, Canada, has become a rich man with only wealth, no home bodyguards, facing the hungry wolf-like Soviet Union, Canada is uneasy.

It can be said that now even if the Soviet Union makes any territorial claims, to expand the area of Alaska, Canada can only cede land!

It's that simple!

"Yes, it's long overdue for us to strengthen our economic cooperation." Andre said: "All along, because of the geographical relationship, we have not had too many contacts, and now, we have Alaska, we can trade by land at any time, our Soviet electronics, we can export to Canada, we can also import grain from Canada, for both of us, this is mutually beneficial." Prime Minister Martin, Canada, how about joining us at the Economic Mutual Meeting? ”

Jinghui meeting, Nima, how can you jump in this pit! In an instant, Martin was taken aback.

The Council for Mutual Economic Assistance, or Economic Mutual Assistance for short, is a political and economic cooperation organization composed of socialist countries organized by the Soviet Union. This is the economic equivalent of the socialist camp of the EEC, with its headquarters in Moscow.

Although it looks good, in fact, under the division of labor in the Soviet Union, other countries are mainly engaged in agriculture, and the Soviet Union is mainly engaged in heavy industry, and the planned economy of the Soviet Union has many loopholes, which leads to the fact that this organization cannot serve the purpose of mutual assistance and cooperation at all.

For example, there are two theories, one is that the Soviet Union is a way to cut wool, and the mutual economic association is a way to exploit various countries, and the other is that these little brothers of the economic mutual association are too bad, and the Soviet Union has to constantly support them, and as a result, the Soviet Union has been dragged down.

In short, this thing can't be joined indiscriminately, even if it is to cut a piece of land to the Soviet Union, it is better than joining this organization, and you can't get out if you go in!

"This, I think, let's not worry about it first, we have to come step by step, for example, we will reduce tariffs on both sides now, what do you think?" Martin said cautiously.

Since it's here, it's negotiable! Martin can't be too groveling.

"Okay, then let's reduce the tariff first, to one-tenth of the original, how about it?" Andrei said.

The Soviet Union, a large number of electronics, is looking for a new market too! What capitalist country has not been conquered? Canada, of course! With the reduction of tariffs, a large number of electronic products in the Soviet Union will be dumped and a lot of money will be made!

What to join the Economic and Mutual Association, of course, is impossible, now, to get Canadians to reduce tariffs, is Andre's purpose!

"Okay, then let's discuss this matter so much first, and now, let's talk about our exchanges and cooperation in the military!" "We need to sign an agreement on military cooperation, we have already drawn it up, you can take a look," Andrei said. ”
