Chapter 473: Soviet-French Relations
The second more
French President Jacques Chirac has not yet woken up from the dream of seizing the Buttivle Pool oil field, and the Vietnamese Navy has slapped him hard, and the Vietnamese Ministry of National Defense announced that it will not first purchase French Cassar-class destroyers, but will instead carefully consider the Soviet Union's Cassin-class destroyers, and Le Duc Yen specially spoke through the mouth of the Ministry of National Defense in order to avoid the eyes of the French. Shift all the blame to the Vietnamese army, but take all the blame yourself.
So President Chirac was dumbfounded, when the battle for the Tiffler Pool oil field was still in full swing, the Soviet Union single-handedly cut off the small tricks behind France and Vietnam, and when it came to the control of Vietnam, how could Chirac, who had not supported his own forces, be the opponent of the Soviet Union, you must know that the Soviet Union had assisted Vietnam for more than 20 years, and the combat system of the Vietnamese army's navy, land and air was developed from the Soviet army, and it can even be said that without the assistance of the Soviet Union, Vietnam could not develop a decent navy at all.
In such a situation, Chirac's face is a little unbearable, recently at the EU meeting Britain under the pretext of withdrawing from the European Union, constantly pressuring Germany and France, to coerce France and Germany to bear the same obligations as Britain, as for the reason everyone knows, it is nothing more than this Middle East turmoil intruded on the Dutch Shell oil group in the first position of the oil deal, which made Prime Minister John Major very annoyed, and when he knew that the instigators behind it were France and Germany, he began to put pressure on the EU.
After all, Britain is now the blood transfusion country of Europe, and France and Germany are only united because of their interests, or the European Community is originally a group of guys with evil intentions, getting together to discuss how to carve up the Third World cabal.
When Alain Juppé, head of government of the French Fifth Republic, and Jacques Chirac, the head of state, sat together, there was a heated discussion about the Soviet Union's actions against France. Chirac saw the need to retaliate against the Soviet Union, and since they had disrupted French interests in Vietnam, France would not let go of the Soviet oil fields in Libya.
Anyway, the Soviet Union has already noticed its own small moves, so there is no need to secretly fund pro-American armed forces, but can stand up openly to support anti-Soviet forces and speed up the seizure of the Butiple Pool oil field.
Prime Minister Juppé questioned at the outset whether Chirac's actions were correct. Although the Prime Minister is in most cases not concerned with the international situation.
"But if you do this, it is the United States that is the happiest, because France pays for the pro-American forces to suppress the pro-Soviet forces, and in the end we may be busy and let the Americans take advantage of it."
"The second happier are the Germans, who are looking at us gloating. Anyway, it is a good thing for Germany that the French have lost, and the British, who are now worried about the way out of the Shell group, have no time to pay attention to us. So now President Chirac still thinks that it is the right thing to do to finance pro-American forces to strike at Soviet-controlled oil fields? ”
"So what?" Chirac didn't know what Juppé was trying to say.
"So I think the best way is for France and the Soviet Union to join forces and carve up or even annex Libya's oil interests within the framework of the European Union, and to squeeze Germany and Britain out of it, and now France is not in a difficult economic period? How long will it take for us to recoup our investment in the sale of a Kasar-class destroyer to Vietnam? And what is the payback period of the oilfield, presumably needless to say, right? ”
Indeed, arms sales may seem surprisingly lucrative, but they are far less easy than the revenues from the oil industry, and Juppé tactfully criticized Chirac's policy in Libya, arguing that it was wrong to choose to cooperate with the United States, after all, France is an independent and self-sufficient European power, not a pawn in the hands of the United States.
"United USSR? Now it's falling out with the USSR, and then running to unite with the USSR against the United States? Chirac's eyes widened, as if listening to the funniest joke in the world.
"What does it matter, don't forget that national interests are the most important, not to mention that France and Russia have always had a tradition of friendship? And what are the benefits of joining forces with the United States? The agent in Libya is American, the money is funded by the French government, and the oil fields that are finally acquired are not ours, at least most of them will not be ours. Because the United States wants to use these oil fields to remedy the debts of the world's first oil company owned by the United Kingdom, understand? As long as Britain does not fall, the United States can continue to use NATO to manipulate Europe, and this is the most lethal point. ”
"President Charles de Gaulle wanted to break the US domination of Europe, and he only barely kept France at arm's length. What's more, now that the Soviet Union is undergoing a major disarmament, the original Soviet steel torrent has been reduced by nearly half, and they have changed from strategic offensive to strategic defense, so France must see the situation clearly, the Soviet Union is no longer our main enemy, and the Americans who are bent on taking advantage of the economic crisis to intervene in Europe are. Don't forget that in Libya, the allies of the United States are Britain, France and other European countries, and one more France means one less piece of meat in the bowl, so why don't the Americans take advantage of the contradictions between France and the Soviet Union to their own interests? It would be nice for France to get a piece of the pie afterwards. ”
Prime Minister Juppé took a deep breath and put out all his views, and he hoped that Chirac would see this clearly, and that he would not be so stupid as to be a pawn of the United States against the Soviet Union, and in the end it would be thankless.
After listening to Prime Minister Juppé's words, Chirac fell into deep thought. What the other side said is not unreasonable, and instead of colluding with the United States,
"So what do we do now? United USSR? It is estimated that now that people are upright, how can they join forces with us to oppose the United States? President Chirac said helplessly.
"Yanayev is a shrewd head of state, and the deal with Vietnam shows that he has left us with a way out. Le Duc Anh announced that he would not consider France first, but the Soviet Union carefully, and this was the mercy of their subordinates. Juppé continued to analyze, "Let's bet? As long as we can stop aiding the pro-American forces, it is very likely that the Soviet Union will settle this issue peacefully in the form of Soviet-French dialogue, and then ......"
Juppé stopped and left Chirac to imagine what would follow.
Chirac took a deep breath, nodded and said, "I understand, Prime Minister Juppé." ”
