Chapter 598: Foiling OPEC's Hole Cards

The first update

As Yanayev expected, on the third day after the Syrian offensive was blocked, Mazyel announced his resignation as Turkish president at a press conference. Pen ~ fun ~ cabinet www.biquge.info and he lost all in this big gamble, and in the last resort, he elected Ahmet Nejdet Césail to power and become the new president of Turkey.

For Yanayev, this result is a win and a loss. What we won was to keep Syria now, not to let Turkey provoke turmoil in Syria, and to maintain the stability of the internal affairs of our allies in the Middle East. The loss was that in this way, the USSR might not be able to stop the project of the US military to build an anti-missile program in Turkey. This will be another long struggle for Yanayev.

And the OPEC countries' plans to cut oil production continue to torment Ryutaro Hashimoto, and the price of oil has risen by $10 per barrel since the start of the plan a week, which is undoubtedly stimulating countries trying to make new oil deals with the Soviet Union. Japan, South Korea and China are both indignant and helpless at what the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) has done. After all, they are the dominant crude oil prices in this world.

When the dollar is pegged to oil, the economic hegemony of the United States is revealed.

Ryutaro Hashimoto called Yanayev more than once to try to change the price of the agreement to a new one in order to drive down the price of oil exports from the Soviet Far East. The shrewd Japanese prime minister saw an opportunity for them to cut oil production in the Middle East, and for the Soviet Union, and if the Asia-Pacific countries abandoned the deal under this invisible threat, what Yanayev had done before would be in vain.

Things have come to this point, how can Yanayev tolerate defeat. And Comrade Mireel, the newly appointed deputy head of the Department of Energy Development, naturally entered Yanayev's eyes. As the future Kremlin King Kong, Yanayev included these young people in his cultivation. I hope that when the old guys retire from the system, they won't drag the young people back. Comrade Vladimir represents the future of the Soviet Union, while Yanayev and his colleagues who persevered in the August 19 incident will bid farewell to the Red Republic as a matter of the past.

The Soviets are only reborn and do not perish.

For Mirel, it was an immense honor to have Yanayev's trust. Even he didn't know why he was able to gain the trust of Deputy Trade Minister Dmitriv in a short period of time, and then almost rose to become the youngest deputy minister of energy.

Yanayev just fell in love with the young man's talent. The old-fashioned bureaucracy often stifled the talent of young people. Even the Propaganda Department of the Soviet Union was separated from the system by Yanayev and became an independent department, which slightly saved the poor image of political propaganda.

"What do you think about the recent announcement of production cuts by the Middle East Petroleum Export Organization?"

Yanayev always has certain high hopes for the young man, and he asked Miller to come to his office not to ask Miller, but to see how far the other party can go in the future through his attitude.

"The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) has cut crude oil production by about 10 percent in almost half a month, and international oil prices have correspondingly begun to rise sharply. This is all a provocation to our plans for the development of the Far East and the export of oil. General Secretary Yanayev, we can take advantage of this time to increase oil exploration and provide crude oil to Asia-Pacific countries. ”

"Doesn't OPEC's bottom line come from its monopoly on the oil market? As long as we can break this monopoly, their sanctions will be nullified. ”

The ambitious Mirel said amazingly, "It is best for the countries of the Asia-Pacific region to settle oil in rubles." So that even the Americans will not be able to stop our oil sales. ”

Oil is pegged to the ruble, and Mirel's ambitions are indeed not small, but Yanayev is confident that the USSR did not have such a skill, after all, the last country that tried to settle oil in euros has now been shattered by Tomahawk cruise missiles. As for the euro, which wants to challenge the hegemony of the dollar? In the European debt crisis, Goldman Sachs investment banks almost used a financial fraud to trap Greece, Spain, Italy and Germany.

At the beginning, Goldman Sachs helped the Greek government cover up a public debt of up to 1 billion euros through financial means, so that the Greek government met the criteria for joining the eurozone on its books, and successfully sent Greece into the eurozone. It also planted the seeds for the subsequent crisis.

If the European debt crisis is not a means used by the Americans to bring down the eurozone, then it is as ironic as the United States becoming a hegemon in order to maintain world peace.

It is no wonder that the capitalists were the biggest obstacle to the workers' movement, and that the Soviet Union, which was in the midst of a period of economic reform, did not want to face a strong financial shock. However, Goldman Sachs' tactics did not work in the Soviet Union. Because the political economy of the Soviet Union was in the hands of the government, Yanayev did not have to borrow money from the capitalists to keep afloat. And the capitalists like the separation of powers the most, because the separation of powers gives the capitalists the opportunity to use their dirty means to make money. Greek politicians have betrayed the country, and the interests of the people have been exchanged for their own votes, bringing Greece into the eurozone ostensibly as the best result of political performance.

"Settle rubles with oil, the economic power of the USSR has not yet reached this point. So Comrade Miller's idea is good, but it is too difficult to implement. ”

Yanayev just hopes to let the euro challenge the US financial hegemony first, so that he can take advantage of the left-handed fisherman's profit. Of course, if necessary, the Soviet Union and China will join forces to build economies so that the United States can cope with the financial challenges from the West after the United States defeats the European Union.

Yanayev leaned back in his seat and said slowly, "Comrade Miler, you still need to ask other people for advice on this matter. Our most important goal now is economic construction, not dwelling on international crises. Therefore, the foreign policy of the Soviet Union for nearly six years has been mainly defensive, not offensive. ”

Yanayev put a document on the table, "This is the last trump card for us to crush Saudi Arabia and boost the confidence of Asia-Pacific countries, this card is to wait for the Asia-Pacific countries to lose confidence, give them an adrenaline rush." ”

Yanayev's gaze became deep, and it was estimated that those smug guys would not have expected that they still had such a trump card in their hands.
