Eder's lack of attention to the Libyan oil news does not mean that other countries do not pay attention to it. When the news of the discovery of oil in Libya spread in Europe. Shell Oil, PetroFrance and other companies have expressed their desire to buy oil fields or buy shares to Ilo Oil.

Especially when Ilo Oil Company drilled several oil wells in succession in Libya, raising the oil stock to 900 million tons, the expectation of these oil companies to take a stake was even greater.

Moreover, the British and French governments are also cooperating with the actions of the oil companies, and if there is a hint in the media, the Ilo oil company should own the capital of the British and French.

The pressure exerted by Britain and France was to the great chagrin of His Excellency, the de facto ruler of Italy.

"These hateful English and Frenchmen, they don't see a little bit of Italy. They already have the whole world, why are they still looking at this pitiful resource of Italy. ”

The anger is not subsided, it is Prime Minister Mussolini, who vents his inner dissatisfaction in his office.

Originally, Mussolini, who was dissatisfied with the fact that the shares of the Italian oil company were too complicated, saw that Libya was becoming more and more abundant, and he was even more disgusted with Britain and France who wanted to seize the oil resources of the Italian people, so much so that he was furious with Britain and France in his office.

True, Mussolini was not very satisfied with the shares that Italy currently holds in the company of Iropetneco. Of course, don't get me wrong, Romania is one of the few people it can woo, not because of its 25% stake, but because of Mobil, which has the heart to step in and take away 20% of its shares.

Grievances to grievances, Mussolini was a qualified politician and did not think about changing the shareholding structure of oil companies. If it is an individual who owns such a high stake in the company, then it is not impossible to die unexpectedly. But it's a pity that one is a country with similar strength to itself, and the other is a top American consortium. These factors made him unable to move, and he had to follow the rules of the game.

"Prime Minister, do you need us to take a stand against Britain and France?"

The secretary asked cautiously beside him.

Who knew that this sentence made Mussolini furious. "What do you say, do you agree to let them take shares?"

The secretary, frightened by Musonili, immediately kept silent.

Mussolini glanced at the frightened secretary and said lightly. "Ilo Petroleum is not only one of us, but we also send messages to the other two to ask them what they think."

The secretary who was amnesty quickly nodded and left. Mussolini, on the other hand, looked at the back of the secretary's departure, but wondered if it was time to replace him.

"Since they all have shares, no one wants Italy to resist the pressure."

When the Italian side sent the news to Romania that Britain and France were pressuring to take a stake in Ilooil, Eder also knew about it.

"Why divide the profits between Britain and France. Tell the Italians that the company does not need to inject money at the moment. ”

Eder looked at Prime Minister Karaturi, who had come to him with a telegram, and said his decision.

"But in doing so, it will cause the British and French to be dissatisfied with our country. In particular, after our country has vigorously developed its shipbuilding industry, there will always be a delay in the time of the goods exported by Britain and France to our country to their own countries. If there is a hard cap now, I am afraid that it will affect my country's export trade. ”

In the face of the king's decision, the prime minister voiced his concerns.

In fact, the problem is just like what the Prime Minister said, although Britain and France had previously let go of the construction of battleships in Romania. But then on other fronts, Romania was suppressed as if it were nothing. Eder felt from this that at present, Britain and France have begun to hold Romania hostage, and the two countries do not want another strong country in Europe.

"Will they clash with our country and its diplomacy over this?"

The Prime Minister shook his head at Eder's questioning. "Not really."

"So what are you worried about?"

In Eder's view, Romania now has the strength to compete with Britain and France (in the Balkans, of course), and there is no need to attach too much importance to the attitude of Britain and France. However, the prime minister and others were motivated by habit on the one hand, and by a lack of awareness of Romania's strength.

This is like the motherland in later generations, which is already the second largest country in the world, but it does not know enough about itself, and always pays too much attention to the attitude of certain countries. This is not good, and it is not easy to cultivate the self-confidence of the nation. National self-confidence is not only about domestic development, but also about letting the people see your self-confidence externally.

There are many people in Romania who are like the prime minister, and only a show of strength can make them sober. However, the current environment is not suitable for Romania to show its strength.

After informing the Prime Minister of his attitude, Eder suddenly found his son flashing through the doorway. He came out only to find that this kid was sneakily holding something as if he was going to do something bad.

"Victor, what are you doing?"

A questioning frightened him hurriedly threw things on the ground and ran away.

Edel discovers that he has thrown away a cloth bag, and that it still moves.

…………

When Romania's reply was presented on Mussolini's desk, the leader smiled as he looked at the telegram. He had already guessed that this would be the result. However, in order to ascertain the Romanian idea, it was still sent to it. All he wants is an attitude.

Because it would bring Romania closer to Italy, because Romania would also look for allies under the pressure of Britain and France, what could be more suitable than Italy?

In fact, at present, Italy has poor relations with France and Yugoslavia, and Britain has more or less secretly supported it in order to contain France. However, because Britain needs France more than Italy, when it comes to really clarifying the relationship, Italy will inevitably be abandoned. Mussolini knew this.

So Italy needs a reliable ally, and his target is Romani. This time, taking advantage of the pressure exerted by Britain and France, he would not take the opportunity to win over Romania, and this would not be a qualified politician. And the Romanian reply made Mussoneri very satisfied. This time, everything was to pull Romania to resist the pressure of Britain and France, and the Italian people would not give in.

As for Mobil's reply, there is no need to guess, Rockefeller, who was already dissatisfied with Britain and France's suppression of their market share in Europe, would only agree to Britain and France to take the wrong medicine. And in order to appease Italy's emotions, Rockefeller even offered that if Italy wanted to issue Treasury bonds in the United States, Chase Manhattan Bank could commit $300 million. This can be regarded as a kind of compensation for not being able to support diplomatically, and it has to be said that the Rockefeller family can become the top consortium in the United States, and its ability to observe words and feelings is also very outstanding.

After receiving the support of the two major shareholders, Musoniri righteously rejected the British and French attempts to take a stake in the Italian oil company, which naturally caused a diplomatic tear. The Italian side, on the other hand, from time to time spoke Romania's reply, as if Italy was going to listen to Romania. This naturally led Britain and France to put the two countries together. And it came true as Mussolini and Eder wished.
