Chapter 515： Libyan Petroleum (Part 2)

Edel's inattention to the Libyan oil news does not mean that other countries do not pay attention to it. When the news of oil discovery in Libya spread widely in Europe. Companies such as Shell Petroleum and Petro France have expressed their desire to buy oil fields or buy shares to Illuo Petroleum.

Especially when the Italian oil company has drilled several consecutive oil wells in Libya to increase its oil stock to 900 million tons, the expectation for these oil companies to become shares is even greater.

Moreover, the British and French governments are also cooperating with the actions of the oil companies. If anything, it is suggested in the media that the Italian oil company should own the capital of the UK and France.

Facing the pressure exerted by Britain and France, the leader of the actual ruler of Italy was extremely annoyed.

"These hateful British and French people, don't they see anything from Italy? They already have the whole world, so why are they looking at such a poor resource in Italy."

It is Prime Minister Mussolini who is still angry, venting his inner dissatisfaction in his office.

Originally, Mussolini, who was dissatisfied with Libya's oil resources becoming more and more abundant and dissatisfied with the complexity of the shares of the Italian Petroleum Company, was even more disgusted with the British and French who seized the opportunity to seize the oil resources of the Italian people. The National University is getting angry.

Yes, Mussolini is not satisfied with the shares currently held by Italy in the Italian Petroleum Company. Of course, don't get me wrong, Romania is currently one of the few targets that it can win. Of course, it is not dissatisfied with its 25% stake, but dissatisfied with Mobil, which has taken 20% of its shares.

Dissatisfaction to dissatisfaction, Mussolini is a qualified politician, and did not think about changing the shareholding structure of the oil company. If an individual owns such a high share of Yiluo, then accidental death is not impossible. However, it is a pity that one is a country similar to its own strength, and the other is a top consortium in the United States. These factors made him immobile and could only follow the rules of the game.

"Prime Minister, do we need to express our views on Britain and France?"

The secretary asked cautiously beside.

How can I know that this sentence made Mussolini furious. "What do you say, do you agree to let them buy shares?"

The secretary who was frightened by Mussolini immediately kept silent.

Mussolini glanced at the frightened secretary and said lightly. "Iluo Petroleum is not only part of our family, but also sent messages to the other two to ask them what they think."

The secretary of Rumeng amnesty nodded and left. But Mussolini looked at the secretary's back, but wondered whether he should be replaced.

"Since they all have shares, no one should think of the Italian family to resist the pressure."

When the Italian side sent Romania news that Britain and France wanted to buy a stake in the Italian Petroleum Company, Edel also knew.

"Why split the profits between Britain and France. Tell the Italians that Illuo Petroleum does not need to inject capital at this time."

Edel looked at Prime Minister Karatuuri who came to him with a telegram, and said his decision.

"But this will cause Britain and France to be dissatisfied with our country. Especially after our country has developed the shipbuilding industry vigorously, the goods exported to our country by Britain and France will always be delayed in the port. Now if it is a hard cap, I am afraid it will affect our country’s export trade."

Facing the king's decision, the prime minister expressed his worries.

In fact, the problem is just like what the Prime Minister said, even though Britain and France had let go of the construction of battleships in Romania before. But then in other areas, if anything, Romania was suppressed. From this, Edel felt that Britain and France have begun to hold back the momentum of Romania’s development, and the two countries are unwilling to see another country with good strength in Europe.

"Will they conflict with our country's diplomacy for this?"

Facing Edel's question, the prime minister shook his head. "That's not true."

"Then what are you worried about?"

In Edel's view, Romania already has the strength to contend with Britain and France (of course in the Balkans), and there is no need to pay too much attention to the attitude of Britain and France. However, the prime minister is out of habit on the one hand, and on the other hand, because of the lack of knowledge of Romania’s strength.

This is like the motherland of later generations. It 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, it is not easy to cultivate national self-confidence. National self-confidence is not just about the domestic development, but also needs to let the people see your self-confidence externally.

There are many people in Romania who are like the Prime Minister. Only by showing their strength can they be sober. However, the current environment is not suitable for Romania to show its strength.

After informing the Prime Minister of his attitude, Edel suddenly found his son flashed by the door. He walked out to find that this kid was sneaking up on something as if he was going to do something bad.

"Victor, what are you doing."

There was a question, and he was so frightened that he threw something on the ground and ran away.

Edel discovered that what he had thrown away was a cloth bag, and it was still moving.

…………

When Romania's reply appeared on Mussolini's desk, the leader looked at the telegram and smiled. He had long guessed that this was the result. But in order to confirm Romania’s ideas, we still report to it. What he wants is an attitude.

Because this can make Romania and Italy closer Because Romania will also seek allies under the pressure of Britain and France, what is more suitable than Italy?

In fact, the current relationship between Italy and Yugoslavia is relatively poor, and the United Kingdom has more or less secretly supported France in order to contain France. However, because Britain needs France to be more important than Italy, when it is really necessary to clarify the relationship, Italy is bound to be abandoned. Mussolini knew this well.

So Italy needs a reliable ally, and his goal is Romani. This time, taking advantage of the pressure from Britain and France, without taking the opportunity to win over Romania, this is not a qualified politician. And Romania's reply made Messoni very satisfied. Anything to say this time will drag Romania to resist the pressure of Britain and France, and the Italian people will not succumb.

As for the response of Mobil, there is no need to guess. Rockefeller, who was dissatisfied with Britain and France's suppression of its market share in Europe, agreed to buy shares in Britain and France after taking the wrong medicine. And in order to appease Italy's emotions, Rockefeller even proposed that if Italy wants to issue national debt in the United States, Chase Manhattan Bank can promise a quota of 300 million US dollars. This can be regarded as a kind of compensation for not being able to support it diplomatically. 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 colors is also very outstanding.

After receiving the support of the two major shareholders, Mussolini justly rejected the intention of Britain and France to buy shares in the Italian Petroleum Company, which naturally caused a burst of diplomatic tears. The Italian side will tell Romania’s reply from time to time, as if Italy wants to listen to Romania. This naturally allowed Britain and France to put the two countries together. It was the wish of Mussolini and Edel again.
