Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

)

Looking at the face of Trini who should have looked like this, the old saying that diplomacy is about comparing who is thick-skinned was retold again. Alfonso had to sigh that this guy Trini is really getting better and better at it. Be diplomatic. Free e-book download.

"In that case, what is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs planning to do next?"

"I will start to expand the presence of the diplomatic mission in Venezuela, and then I will expand the diplomatic relations between the two countries, as well as cultural diplomacy, and I will cooperate with Lais."

Alfonso nodded, confirming what the other party did. But there is one more thing that he needs to add, because in his opinion, this is the key point, "Don't forget, the guy with Max is on stage."

coup? arms? Political change depends on arms. "It seems that I need to go through the gate of the Ministry of National Defense again.'"

"Then do you need me to help you?"

"Although I want to, I'm afraid I can't afford you, the most valuable person."

"hehe"

Two flowers bloom, one on each branch, and let’s go back to Venezuela.

"Are you really willing to provide arms?" No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't calm down when faced with this problem. Therefore, Max asked again uncertainly.

"No, this is a call from our Foreign Minister himself," Jeb replied with a nod.

"What are your conditions?" Max hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but ask again.

"Actually, what I want to ask is, what are your conditions?" Jeb asked with a smile.

Unknowingly, Wayne suddenly faded out of the negotiations, but this kind of thing should be a matter for negotiators, and as a diplomat who is the best in this field, he is the most suitable. .

But Max was in trouble and asked about the conditions? There is a lot of meaning in this. Judging from the tone of the other party, it seems that there are probably traces of the oil field and is now waiting for development and sharing. However, he is helpless. He really doesn't put forward such opinions, so as to maximize his interests. , because , is not the trump card, so how can we talk about the conditions? But of course he won't speak outright because of this. Just like when he was trading in the trading market when he was a child, he still knows some basic common sense now.

"If, I mean if, we want to be happiest together, I think Jeb will give us a satisfactory answer." Avoiding the important and choosing the light, Max chose to transfer the right of choice like this.

"Wayne, can I decide this matter?" He didn't answer, but looked at Wayne who was sitting next to him and watching them with interest and suddenly asked.

"Of course, since it was arranged by Minister Trini, of course I am willing to obey." He looked at Max and said, President, Jeb is now the sole agent of our Occidental Petroleum Company. I can guarantee that the results of the negotiations between him and you are valid. "

Max looked at the questions and answers between the two, and his mind became active. Although the two answered naturally, it was so natural that it made people feel as if they had made arrangements. In this case, This means that the other party has already previewed or predicted today's events. And this also illustrates a question, that is, does Venezuela really have oil? If so, where is it?

"Of course, our negotiation process will be very pleasant." You two picked up the glasses, poured the wine and started drinking together.

Jeb's matter has reached a critical moment. At this time, it is impossible not to apportion, so he raised his hand and looked at the watch on his hand, looked at it again, and said: "Unknowingly, it has been several hours since I arrived at the president's place." , then, I will open the skylight and speak out. Our idea is that in the future, when Western oil companies exploit oil here in Venezuela, if oil is discovered through exploration, we will enjoy an 80% share, while Venezuela will have an 80% share due to taxes and land. How about obtaining the remaining 20 benefits due to reasons such as the right to use the rights and other grant aspects?”

"20? Jeb is joking! This share is definitely the lowest level. I think it is not just me, but other Venezuelan citizens will never forgive the result obtained in this way, at least 50, don't forget What we need to pay for is the unimpeded pass you mentioned before, which you represent to a country."

"But if there is no oil, I think all our efforts will be in vain."

There was silence for a moment, and then he said, "But, didn't you choose to come to Venezuela?" "Don't skip words.

Jeb's face was stunned, and then he said hello helplessly. I admit that we are a bit confused, but the price offered by the President is too high, which will scare people away. I think that when Standard Oil came here, they would never give you such a share. Even if it is 20, I think it is much more than them. After all, from what I know about their work style, it should be like this. For the last time, it is said that the tax they paid for growing coffee in Venezuela was less than 1%. Now, the price paid by the President makes it difficult for Spain to think that you sincerely want to cooperate with us. . Drink too much and we will show that you treat us as equals. After all, in order to enhance the friendship between us, our Ministry of National Defense has approved the export of weapons to you. You will chill their enthusiasm for increasing friendship."

"This" Max really didn't expect this. The United States, Britain and other countries have indeed invested a lot of land in Venezuela to grow coffee, and even returned several mining areas. As Jeb said, those guys have not until now They still pay very low taxes. Although they have been complaining about the other party, the other party is still going its own way until now, ignoring them at all. They have even expressed through other channels that they are unfair to the president. He also said that if he wanted to confront them, they would not mind threatening hints such as making his position as president very unstable.

Because of this, Spain's obvious show of goodwill now makes his heart become active. Spain is famous for safeguarding the interests of its allies. Just look at the Ecuador incident. And now Venezuela, no, should The situation faced by the leadership of the military is that the United States, Britain, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, etc. are ruthlessly plundering the country without any hindrance, but they dare not make any changes while barely supporting the regime with force, and sometimes even do something It was very unacceptable for him to cooperate with their plundering actions, but it was still unacceptable. Therefore, he planned to use Spain to check and balance the other party. If the matter collapsed this time, it would be very difficult for him. The losses are immeasurable.

Compared with him, Jeb felt extremely relaxed. Having the inside story makes things easier. This is what Jeb is thinking now. Seeing the ever-changing expression on Max's face, he feels that all these years of hard work have not been in vain. He is now 30 years old and has worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for more than 10 years. Years ago, he entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after graduating from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Because his work performance was well-regarded, he was soon assigned here by the previous Pasilades government and became a member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from Albania. Spain's youngest ambassador since King XII. Although Venezuela does not hold an important national position in the Spanish diplomatic corps, or even a country that deserves special attention, his appointment still caused a sensation in Spain, and was even mentioned in the British "Times" The author wrote an introduction to him, and finally mentioned that he may be the person most likely to be promoted to Spain's future Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about to get better, Jebo said that we are based on the idea of ​​​​long-term cooperation, so we will never trade with our partners in a predatory way like other countries. No, Your Excellency, President, how about the 30% share? Of course Yes, we in Spain have the right to first purchase what we cooperate to mine. This is our bottom line and our greatest sincerity. If the president does not agree, we will have no choice but to leave and conclude this meeting."

30? This share is already quite large, especially after the experience of powerful countries such as Britain and the United States forcing their way in. He really feels that he needs to be more cautious about Spain, which is not inferior to them. The prices currently offered by Spain have also greatly exceeded those of countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States. As Jeb said, they are fundamentally incomparable. Those powerful countries are all robbing and buying. Look at Jeb on the opposite side now. Comparing Buona's amiable smile with the two, Libra, who was still in contrast, did not hesitate to turn to the Spanish side. It was because of the contrast that he naturally thought that although it was not there, it was here. With no money and no equipment, it is better to let Spain exploit it now than leaving it for other countries to take advantage of. Of course, there is also his selfishness in it. That is how long he can suppress those people. , if you don’t make money from mining now.

So, after being ousted from office, will he still have any share? Well, just like the previous president. What's more, after having money, didn't Jeb say that he can buy Spanish weapons, which will then become even more flattering property and protect Venezuela in name. If it is managed well, Venezuela may even become a powerful country. , although he is greedy for money and desires power, it does not prevent him from being a patriot.

"In that case, then, happy cooperation." After thinking about the powerful relationship, he stood up and extended his palm.
