Chapter 1299 European Energy Security Conference
India is a big country, both in terms of population and area, that is not Australia where evaporation is more than precipitation, although India’s evaporation also belongs to the category of being very impressive.
Population and area in combination with good agricultural conditions, resource reserves, sorry, a certain big country is, India still falls short.
India will also be the northern hemisphere at the same latitude as the same lack of water, moving high temperature records of the place, North America is because the cold front southward leading to climate instability, India is the monsoon did not come to lead to instability.
Britain is of course attached importance to India, but this time the pacifist countries are indeed a little too much, only bent on westernization of Turkey did not take a position, the rest of all together.
This is very difficult to do, for a country wants to become a powerful country the two most important points, is the population and area, this point India has all. But the world of the religion of peace is not to be messed with, the world of the religion of peace that threatened Europe for centuries, only before World War I with the destruction of the Ottoman Empire let Europe breathe a sigh of relief, no matter which Europe and the United States, are preventing the world of the religion of peace to once again emerge as a power.
The Pacifist world was something bigger than the base of India, and although it was loosely organized without a single powerful country to back it up, it could not be offended.
This makes it impossible for a country with such wide-ranging interests as Britain to choose sides easily, and Alan Wilson, who promised to help when he received the Indian ambassador but also understood their support for the brotherly country of Pakistan when confronted with the Gulf States, then looked for an opportunity to follow Pamela Mountbatten in inspecting the Land Rover factory.
Land Rover factory is now retained in the British mainland production line, only the Land Rover Range Rover production line is left, this is the Land Rover brand among the most high-end, but also will copy the shell of Alan Wilson, guidance out of the high-end off-road vehicle models, has more than 10,000 units, Pamela Mountbatten is the past to participate in the celebratory ceremony.
Land Rover Defender large pickup truck and Land Rover Discovery production has been climbing, has been commonly found in the Middle East, North Africa and Australia.
Pamela Mountbatten had the leisure to pay attention to her husband, who was flipping through the information, while driving, “In other families, the man drives and the wife is the co-driver.”
“It’s just the opposite in our family.” Alan Wilson glanced at his wife, very bluntly stating that he had a weak stomach, and then continued to look at the preparatory matters for the EC meeting.
“EC meeting matters? Any of them relevant to me?” Pamela Mountbatten was not at all surprised, wanting to know the country’s movements from her husband.
“An important element of this EEC is probably the matter of India’s oil embargo that is more relevant to you, and there is also a major issue that is France’s proposal to elevate Germany’s voice in the EEC.” Alan Wilson put away the documents, “You have to know, this side of Europe in addition to a North Sea oil, the rest is not much resources. In the face of an oil embargo similar to India’s, it could run into even more problems.”
Of course a North Sea oil can hang India’s oil reserves for several rounds, but also take into account the scale of Europe’s industry, the oil needed is far more than India.
India’s own oil reserves, enough for the twenty-first century, a major country with a year, the lack of degree comparable to Latin America’s coal reserves, in a theoretical but practically no situation.
A large country in and India’s industrial scale is about the same size, the local oil can completely support the country’s oil needs, while India later reached this stage, the proportion of imports almost to eighty-five percent, can be said to be almost completely dependent on imports.
In the long run, the price of oil is sure to get higher and higher, the skyrocketing price of oil faced by the development of a major country, falling on India’s body will only become more pronounced, it is simply the unbearable weight of life.
The twenty-first century India did not find much oil, let alone the sixties, Allen Wilson colluded with oil-producing countries on the Indian oil embargo, is to want to see the situation faced by India, the same lack of resources in Europe can not carry, Britain, after all, has been shared the risk.
“Come to think of it, hasn’t your industry gone up quite a bit recently?” Alan Wilson asked his wife, the oil industry is also an important industry for Pamela Mountbatten, and getting the good news that India was embargoed for oil, it should theoretically go up.
“Up a few pence. India doesn’t have oil on its soil, but the demand is nowhere near enough to cause volatility on the world market. Faced with an oil embargo, it’s just one of their own countries that’s having a hard time, isn’t it?” Pamela Mountbatten bristled, clearly not believing that India had the ability to influence the price of oil, “The U.S. has already increased its forces in Southeast Asia by over a hundred thousand, and you don’t seem to care at all.”
“Isn’t it just a replica of the strategic bombing of Germany? What’s there to care about. It’s also the fact that the free world is stronger than its opponents, or else it looks like Washington is doing this and it will kill us.” Now that the Vietnam War has officially begun, Allen Wilson stops pretending and begins to ridicule the United States with impunity.
The situation of the Cold War, even if a major power and the Soviet Union united and never turned their backs, the probability of the free world achieving victory is higher than the rival camps. Unless India turns color too, then the free world is screwed.
As for decades later, as soon as the Cold War starts again, the victory is even easier than this time, the industrial scale of a certain big country needs resources to support it, not that a certain big country’s resources are too little, but the industrial scale is too big, and assessing it in terms of industrial scale is inaccurate.
Once the rhythms of the Cold War had begun, it took a few decades, and he was sure the free world could win again.
But the problem is that the United States seems to be less willing to pay the price, a bit of both want and want also want. Always think of not paying the price to win that is not possible, there is also a point that the United States seems to benefit can not afford and do not want to benefit.
The U.S. military in the Vietnam War, ground forces like Ukraine, piled up in South Vietnam to die, the air force like Russia, with bombs to talk, how can this win the war?
At the same time the couple attended the celebration, Dixon was discussing with the Soviet ambassador Victor, the direction of the Indo-Pakistani war, and Moscow still took the initiative to ask Britain if it wanted to mediate in this war.
A day later, Allen Wilson, who had returned from a private trip, learned of this and shook his head, “This has only just begun, and the only opportunity for mediation is when both countries are out of steam. If we mediate now, both countries will think they have lost out. We’d better prepare for the EC meeting and wait until the meeting is over, I guess the two sides are pretty much done fighting before we go to mediate. Just answer the Soviets.”
Involving the mediation of two countries, the location of mediation is also a problem, in London the Soviet Union will certainly not be happy, in Moscow Britain is still reluctant.
There are only a few locations, Geneva? I don’t think so. Those Zurich goblins were not worthy, it was better to put it in Stockholm.
“So we’ll just reply to Moscow and wait?” Dixon said inquiring, “And tell the Prime Minister the same?”
“Oh my goodness, can we hide something like this from the Prime Minister? But emphasize the importance of the EEC meeting. France is speaking up for Germany to have a bigger voice.” Alan Wilson gave Dixon the hint that this EEC is not the same as the other EEC, this EEC is a product of the colonial powers reporting on the colonial powers, and has evolved to the point where today it is the UK and France both agreeing that the one man, one vote model of the EU should never be used.
I do not know whether the Europeans are not remember to eat not remember to fight, Poland has used the system of one person, one veto, resulting in Poland from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea of the Eastern European countries, turned into a European cushion cloth. Fortunately, the European Community, which was born out of the European colonial powers, doesn’t have this. As it stands, the EEC can be described as a kind of democratic centralization, where in theory everyone has equal rights, but in practice, once France is taken care of, the UK can dominate the resolutions in the UK’s favor.
Germany and Japan are both countries that have depressed their exchange rates with the acquiescence of the U.S. From the post-war period to the present, Germany has already overtaken France as the second in Europe. Now that the Vietnam War has broken out, the United States also intends to elevate Germany’s status to prevent problems with the defense force on the European side when the United States is fighting in Southeast Asia.
However, Allen Wilson still believed in France, once France had completely digested Algeria, it would still be able to regain its advantage over Germany, unless Germany was unified.
The EEC foreign ministers meeting was attended by Rab Butler as usual, and Alan Wilson knew in his heart that Prime Minister Aidan was the one who had the whole picture in his hands.
“Aren’t you in control of British foreign policy? I should really be glad that you came to see me in your busy schedule.” Hepburn was holding her son and breastfeeding, but there was always such a hint of acidity in her tone.
“I’m also busy, and as soon as I’m free, I’m eager to come over.” The Supreme Authority was full of aggression at the moment, slapping his chest with a splat to express his loyalty to Ballflower, “Breastfeeding with such grace, my dear, you are the embodiment of the word grace, I’m sure no one will object.”
“That’s all I know how to say.” Hepburn put the bottle down and rocked her son in her arms, “I know you’re too busy to have anything to say.”
“I appreciate the empathy.” Alan Wilson hit the snake and had kissed the back of Hepburn’s hand, “It’s not really much, it’s just running for peace and the protection of Europe.”
Allen Wilson’s side to deal with personal matters, Rab Butler is in Brussels to talk about Europe’s energy dependence, Europe really does not have much energy distribution, Europe should avoid the current situation in India, one day be encountered by Europe.
“The Soviet Union built an oil pipeline, and we can actually think of ways to build on that pipeline without relying exclusively on oil and gas from the Middle East.” German Foreign Minister Gerhard Schroeder mentioned, the Friendship Pipeline, completed by the Soviet Union last year, as a way to spread the risk?
The news came from Brussels and Aidan launched a consultation on it, pondering whether it was a risk, while Alan Wilson, with a skeptical look on his face, vehemently opposed it, saying, “It would make the role of North Sea oil less useful.”
“But the production of North Sea oil is limited.” Aiden was also in a bit of a bind, “France doesn’t seem to be against this, it’s the same attitude as the Germans.”
