Damn, you can't let the Yankees get their way! We're going to get more shares!

BP Oil's Chairman John Brown. Cadman returned from the Rockefeller estate with a reluctant heart, because of his resistance, the agreement reached at the Rockefeller estate was not implemented.

John. Cadman returned to London and approached Chancellor of the Exchequer, Winston Churchill, to inform him of the negotiations.

Knowing that the Yankees had such a big appetite and asked for 45% of the shares of the Iraqi Oil Company in one go, he was furious and scolded the Shell Oil Company for being frightened by the Yankees, and said that he would support BP Oil Company and must not compromise with the American Oil Company.

Also sent a telegram to Andrew. Mellon, saying that Britain will not cede its oil interests in the Middle East, is in a very bad tone!

Andrew. Mellon, who is also not a vegetarian, replied to the telegram with a needle, saying that the United States has important interests in the Middle East and is doing its best to protect the interests of American companies abroad.

Churchill was furious when he saw it, and scolded the Yankees for being greedy and shameless, and daring to covet the Queen's territory?

You must know that this guy is very brutal, in order to suppress the Iraqis, he carried forward the experience of the British army in the Boer War, and encouraged the British army to use poison gas bombs to eliminate the Iraqi resistance.

The majesty and decisiveness of the British Empire are not comparable to the obscene style of being someone else's younger brother later? This is also the reason why Situ Nan did not dare to monopolize Iraqi oil, the difficulty factor is too great.

On "thinking about the past", boasting about the cattle fork of the ancestors, the British of later generations should be more convincing than the Chinese.

With a tough-stirring stick like Churchill coming out to make trouble, it is incomprehensible that the Royal Navy will send part of its warships to the Mediterranean Sea to strengthen the Mediterranean fleet, and even an agreement at the Rockefeller estate may be overturned.

Despite pressure from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, a few soft words were spoken. Shell Oil Company Chairman Henry Brown. Dettin was still in a good mood, and when he talked about the matter with Gurbankan, the founder and shareholder of Anglo-Polish Oil, he laughed: "Why didn't anyone remind our chancellor of the exchequer's agreement to exclude Persia, and if you add Anglo-Polish Oil Company (formerly Turkish Petroleum), Britain's share of oil in the Middle East is actually more than half?" ”

"Maybe our minister is playing dumb?" Gurbankan laughed: "The government has a tough attitude and wants to overturn the agreement. Isn't this an opportunity for Shell? For example, taking the opportunity to ask for more shares? ”

He is Henry. Detding's good friend also helped Shell Oil Company acquire Eagle Oil Company in Mexico, relying on Mexico's rich oil resources, Shell Oil Company occupies a considerable amount of the US energy market.

"Yes! This is also our opportunity. My Mr. Five Percent, it's time for you to behave! ”

Henry. Detting encouraged.

Gurbankan owns 5% of BP Oil, known as Mr. Five. Detedding's suggestion, he gladly accepted. This is the opportunity he has been waiting for for a long time.

Soon he found the company's chairman, John. Cadman, proposed to convene a second oil conference in the UK. He himself was more than willing to help convince the Yankees.

"The British are making a little move again! I have no problem with merging Iraq and Persia into a larger oil consortium, but we must curb Britain's unbridled ambitions, and we must not let them include Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. ”

Before going to the UK to negotiate, Situ Nan told Handar . Brown Road.

In the same way, he also talked to Richard. Mellon said.

Saudi Arabia is good to say, after all, it is an independent country. At least nominally, but Kuwait is different. It was a colony of the British.

Hantec. Brown understands Situan's concerns, what if Kuwait and Saudi Arabia also discover oil in the future? Wouldn't it be cheaper for nothing to include all these areas now?

The bottom line for Chevron is to limit the scope of the United Oil Company's operations from Iraq to the entire Middle East, even if it does not compete for its share of the United Oil Company.

Meeting at Achnakari Castle in the Scottish Highlands. This castle is still owned by the Mellon family, Situ Nan has never been to it, except for the London House, he is not like Morgan, Rockefeller, Mellon, they have a strong British plot, like to buy a lot of properties in Europe and England. Not like the Morgan family, who like to go on vacation to Europe.

In terms of connections in Europe, Situ Nan may not be as good as Handar. Brown.

"Hey! Henry, haven't you made any progress in your technique? "John. Cadman triumphantly raised his fishing rod towards Henry, who had found nothing. Detdeding laughed.

He had already hoisted several large fish, and yesterday when he hunted for nothing, he was killed by Henry. Detdeding scoffed at the reversal.

"Hopefully your fishing skills will catch the American fish!" Henry. Detting sneered.

Although the two are standing in the same trench this time, their relationship with each other has been bad for many years, and it is difficult to return.

Hunting or fishing is just a pastime, and in the castle of Achinakari, the oil conspiracy is the main theme.

BP and Shell, which are supported by the British government, have a much tougher attitude than when they were in the United States, insisting on merging Iraq and Persia oil, and the newly established Iraqi Oil Company will replace the original Persian Oil Company, BP Oil Company and Shell Oil Company will account for 30% and 25% respectively, France's Dadal Oil Company will take 15%, and the remaining 35% will be divided between Chevron (8%), Gulf (7%), and Exxon (15%).

"According to my plan, the business scope of the Iraqi oil company should cover the entire Middle East region, including Iraq, Persia, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and so on." Gurban, who was presiding over the meeting, spoke eloquently as he circled the map with a stick.

"It's not fair! Chevron Oil is categorically opposed to such a distribution scheme! We would rather not have the share of the Iraqi Oil Company but also make the No. 1 oil field independent, we will exploit it ourselves, lay our own oil pipes and sell it to Europe! ”

Hantec. Brown blushed with anger and stood up and slapped the table.

"That's right! The share allocated to our American oil companies is much less than the original! Exxon Oil's Walter. Teagard objected.

Richard. Mellon also objected.

The Yankees all objected, saliva was about to spray on Gurbankan's face, and the five-percent gentleman also blushed with anger, smashed the stick, opened his eyes and shouted: "Then how much do you want?" ”

"Gentlemen, do not be angry. This is only a preliminary plan, and if you don't agree, you can adjust it. "Henry. Detdeding said with a smile.

After a quarrel, the Yankees were too emotional to talk about it anymore and had to adjourn the meeting.

When he walked out of the conference room, Walter. Teagar deliberately slows down and waits for Handar. Brown. After everyone around him walked away, he asked in a low voice, "Chevron is willing to give up its share of Iraqi Oil?" ”

"I feel that the production of the No. 1 field is more than the 8% production of the Iraqi oil company!" Hantec. Brown said lightly.

"Man, do you know that in the past six months, the No. 2 and No. 3 oil fields have been discovered in Iraq, which are no worse than the No. 1 oil fields, and more oil fields will be discovered in the future." Walter. Teagar reminded, thinking, "Is there really that much production from the No. 1 field?" ”

"No matter how many oil fields Iraq discovers, it will not be our turn, and even if we have a share of the Iraqi oil company. Isn't it also selling your share? ”

Hantec. Brown Road.

"That's true, I really envy you Chevron, you can make a lot of dollars from me." Walter. Teagar nodded and smiled.

It should be noted here that the Iraqi Oil Company is not a joint venture, but only a spoil-sharing organization, and the shares or shares held by the major giants only represent how much crude oil they can receive.

Take the example of Mr. Gurbankan, who has no production equipment, pipelines and refineries, and does not produce a drop of crude oil. Therefore, the 5% of the crude oil production allocated was sold to the French company Datel.

Now Exxon also has a crush on Chevron's share of production, and it would be best if it could buy it.

Find Handar in private. Brown negotiated more than just Walter. Teagarh. There are other giants.

After rounds of negotiations, the meeting finally reached a conclusion, and Chevron finally withdrew from the Iraqi Oil Company to concentrate on the operation of the No. 1 oil field, while also not operating oil exploration operations in other parts of Iraq.

As for the production of the No. 1 oil field, Hantec. Brown sold several. Including Exxon, Bay, and Dadal.

In return, the United States and the French oil companies joined forces to insist that the Iraqi oil company's operations be limited to Iraq and Persia and not the rest of the Middle East.

BP and Shell agreed to this condition, as they had already acquired 30 per cent and 25 per cent of the shares of Iraqi Oil Company. French 15% unchanged, Gulf Oil 10%, Exxon 17.5%"

Gentlemen, after difficult negotiations, we have finally reached a consensus, and here I would like to thank Handar. The efforts and sacrifices made by Mr. Brown and Chevron Oil for the smooth running of the meeting. ”

At the meeting, Gurbankan said from the bottom of his heart, with a smile on his face, that in the new round of allocation, he received a 2.5 percent share of the new Iraqi Oil Company. Based on the momentum of three successive oil field discoveries in Iraq, the 2.5 per cent share would be larger than the original 5 per cent.

Hypocritical and enthusiastic applause rang out in his ears, Handa. The corners of Brown's mouth smiled, but there was a faint bitterness and worry in his heart.

I hope Situ Nan won't lie to himself, otherwise he will lose a lot this time.

Gurbankan asked for a map of the Middle East, and he held a thick red pencil and drew a circle on the map, enclosing all Iraq and Persia.

Say to those present, "I should know this, because I was born here, I live here, I work here." This is smaller than the old Ottoman Empire that I knew in 1914, but in order to reduce disagreements and develop Iraqi oil as soon as possible, other regions have not been included. ”

Gurbankan looked at Henda. Brown, I'm a little sorry.

Hantec. Brown snorted coldly and gave the Englishman a cold look.

The others saw it in their eyes and laughed secretly in their hearts, for Gurbankan, who led this meeting, it is estimated that he was hated to death by Chevron Oil Company.

The meeting unanimously agreed that, with the exception of Chevron Oil Company's No. 1 oil field, the oil resources within the Red Line written by Gurban are jointly owned by all member companies, and all oil extraction operations in the Red Line are the responsibility of the Iraqi Oil Company.

This is what became known as the "Red Line Agreement"!

Several large companies used a pen to draw a few strokes on the map, and a region or country was divided, which is very in line with the tradition of the Pope to give the eastern hemisphere to Portugal and the western hemisphere to Spain with a single stroke!

The competition between the oil giants of Britain, the United States and France for nearly a decade in the Middle East has finally come to an end, and it has also opened a new chapter of prosperity and bloodshed in the history of the Middle East.

Unlike history, this version of the redline agreement is narrower in scope, not including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Egypt, but the British have a larger share than they did in the original history.

"It feels like you're getting nothing, and it's like you're coming home empty-handed!"

The car goes out of the gate, Hantec. Brown looked back at Achinakari Castle and sighed in his heart that he was leaving England for Italy and running around for the Chevron oil empire.

Is there really nothing?

Who is the fool is not necessarily?

Situ Nan sneered in his heart when he got the result of the negotiation from Britain. It did not take a share of the Iraqi oil company, but kept the No. 1 oil field, and this is a victory!

When Robles learned of the results of the negotiations from the castle of Achinakari, he smiled and said: "With the discovery of oil in the Middle East and Libya, and the major oil fields in Asia and the Americas are increasing production, in order to make profits, the major oil companies will definitely exploit oil unscrupulously, and the commodity oil market will definitely fall into a situation of disorderly competition, so oil prices will fall!" ”

He concluded that there was a taste of money in the smile on his face.

"In less than a year, these guys will have a secret meeting behind closed doors, saying that everyone is producing too much oil, and the oil price has dropped all of a sudden, which is not good, that is not good, believe it or not?"

Situ Nan said with a smile.

"Of course, I know the temperament of those guys! They'll get back together. In order to create an established fact, occupy more market share in the next round of negotiations, and then Chevron Oil and Occidental Petroleum will also grow like crazy! ”

Robles asked with a smile.

Situ Nan nodded.

Before OPEC, these oil giants did not know how many years and how many times they played with oil prices, plus the Soviets who stirred up the situation, in short, conspiracy, bloodshed, coups, wars and other elements were indispensable.

As Robles said, immediately after the signing of the Red Line Agreement, the oil majors built oil pipelines connecting Iraq's Kirkuk region to the Mediterranean, and built oil depots, port terminals and refineries in Haifa.

At this time, Haifa, a small coastal port in Palestine under British rule, was about to rise due to Middle Eastern oil. I don't know if there are Jews, but even if there are, there are certainly not many. Hehe.

Chevron is actively involved in the construction of this oil pipeline and hopes that it will be completed as soon as possible, because the oil produced from the No. 1 oil field will pass through this pipeline and be transported to Europe.

At the same time, it also recommended high-quality and low-cost Chinese oil engineers to join in the construction of pipelines and ports, and the Iraqi Oil Company adopted this suggestion. (To be continued.) )
