British Civil Servant

The meeting has continued to this day. In fact, more than two months have passed. Heads of countries gathered in Stockholm. Naturally, they came to end the negotiations and sign documents. Otherwise, what?

Indian Prime Minister Shastri is undoubtedly the busiest person. Both Aiden and Kosygin met with the Indian Prime Minister with the attitude of winning over India.

Although it is said that after India was beaten by a major country, its international influence has experienced a huge decline, but in the face of an opponent like Pakistan, the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union still recognize that India is a powerful country, and they also use practical actions to provide Helping India this time.

While taking back the occupied land, Shastri is still more concerned about the fact that India is currently suffering from the oil embargo of the world of peace. Oil is the blood of modern industry, and it is not just for refueling.

The chemical industry also needs oil. Once India cuts off the import of oil, the Indian chemical industry will be paralyzed.

The chemical industry includes the basic chemical industry and plastics, synthetic fibers, petroleum, rubber, pharmaceuticals, dye industries, etc., each of which is extremely important to people's livelihood. The oil crisis initiated by the Arab countries against Europe and the United States directly caused the national economy of European and American countries, including the United States, to go backwards. The power of this is evident.

Even in this era, European and American countries are solid industrial powers. If it is replaced by a society dominated by the tertiary industry in a few decades, the trauma will only be greater.

The Congress Party is also a party that advocates industrialization. When Nehru was alive, he attached great importance to the development of industry. India itself has no oil resources, but it needs to develop industry. Of course, oil also comes from the Middle East. But this time the Middle East has shown with practical actions that people are on Pakistan's side.

Shastri asked Aiden for help about India's oil embargo, which also fell into Alan Wilson's eyes. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that no matter what time and place, India would face the same problem. Oil is a soft underbelly that cannot be ignored in India. If there is a problem in agriculture, see the onion, and if there is a problem in the industry, look at oil. Even the old fairy can't solve these two problems.

Even decades later, India's development is tightly bound by oil, and a major country can still rely on its own resources to solve part of it. India really has no solution at all. Just as oil resources are distributed along the boundaries of British India, the whole of British India, including Pakistan, has no such resources.

For this reason, in the case of unanimous sanctions against Russia by Europe and the United States, India closed its eyes as if it did not see it, and must import discounted oil.

When Iran was sanctioned, India also tried its best to be on the side of helping Iran to lift the sanctions. This is all caused by the lack of oil resources.

"If the United Kingdom forces the Arab world to lift the ban, it will only make the local Arabs dissatisfied with the United Kingdom." Alan Wilson has already figured out a solution since he plotted to contact Arab countries to open the oil embargo, which is just in use today, " Now, out of religious feelings, the entire Arab and even the entire pacifist countries are very dissatisfied with India. To solve India's energy crisis, we can only rely on areas that religion cannot influence."

With Alan Wilson's reminder, Aiden immediately understood what the cabinet secretary was referring to, and said to Shastri, "There are also oil resources in South Sudan in Africa. The oil pipeline through British Kenya has been built. The local mainstream beliefs have nothing to do with Arab countries, and it is a reliable source of oil. Of course, Malaya also has oil resources, but the local Malays also share a religious belief with Pakistan, so India faces not many choices.”

"This? I don't know what the price is." Shastri still hopes that the United Kingdom can lift the oil embargo imposed by the Arab countries on India. Does the United Kingdom still have troops stationed in the Middle East?

This is impossible. What good will it do for the UK? Now is not the period of British India. Why did the UK offend the protectorate in the Middle East because of India?

So Aiden directly said that it is not that the United Kingdom has not asked about the tone, but the attitude of the Arab countries is very strong, and the United Kingdom should not be too coercive.

"I don't know what the price of South Sudan's oil is?" Shastri was a little distressed. The Indian industry has been shut down because of the oil embargo. This time the oil embargo has indeed done a lot of damage to India.

Of course, why did Alan Wilson embargo India's oil, didn't he just want to see how much India was affected in the next year, and then give the European side a warning?

But in such an occasion to show the unity of Britain and India, he can only talk about business. South Sudan's oil can indeed be supplied to India, but South Sudan has also become independent. Selling to India, "This requires communication with the Sudanese side of Henan, India, and of course the United Kingdom is willing to play a bridge role in it."

India has no choice now. Under the circumstance that all Arab countries have embargoed India, India has almost no choice. Of course, it can choose the Soviet Union, but what about the oil of the Soviet Union?

Oil and natural gas can be different, natural gas pipelines reduce costs, but oil is the lowest cost by sea.

India is in a good place geographically, very close to the Persian Gulf, but almost all the countries in the Persian Gulf have a bad impression of India. The first is because of the existence of Pakistan, and the second is because of the sectarian conflict in India, and there is a big news from time to time. Otherwise, India will not be chasing after Iran.

A major country in the future is the largest buyer of South Sudan's oil. Because of the industrial scale, a major country needs a lot of oil, and the United States dominates the Middle East. A major country must share the risks and cannot let its energy rely too much on the United States. Focus business in the Middle East.

But now it is different. Britain controls the oil in South Sudan and can provide an alternative for India. This is a problem that the Soviet Union is temporarily unable to help India solve.

As for the role of the UK, it is better to be a second-hand dealer, which is also an important reason for India to import Russian oil in later generations. Import Russian oil to sell to Europe. India's diesel exports hit a record high in a year, nearly one-third of which were sold to Europe, and the price of diesel in Europe rose by $100 per ton in the past month. India made a lot of money by acting as a middleman Full.

To supply India with oil from South Sudan, the initiative is in the hands of the United Kingdom. Aiden also recognizes this. Shastri is very busy in Stockholm this time. Sijin garners support and quickly leaves Aiden's room.

"The Soviet Union also attaches great importance to India." After Shastri left, Aiden was impressed, "Why do many countries in the world want to have good relations with the Soviet Union?"

"The Soviet Union is indeed a powerful country. Prime Minister! Influence cannot be ignored." Alan Wilson smiled wryly, not to mention that Russia after the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the Soviet Union was sanctioned like that. There are still many pro-Russian forces in various countries.

The only countries that are really anti-Russian are those in Eastern Europe. Of course, the United States also hopes to bring Russia down completely, and the United Kingdom does not necessarily want to do anything to Russia. It's just that the British descendants have long been tied to the United States.

The United States really wants to target a country, and the United Kingdom can only follow. Originally, the UK and a certain major country still had a golden decade, and imagined a bright future. The UK still wanted to resist the Huawei incident, saying that no Huawei backdoor had been found, but in the end, it was unable to bend its arms and legs, and took the same attitude as the United States.

Leaving Aiden's room, Alan Wilson wandered aimlessly with his hands in his trousers pockets, and then saw an acquaintance, the KGB officer, who was in his prime age in a suit and leather shoes.

Alexeyev also saw him, the two looked at each other and looked at each other, Alan Wilson said first, "You still look better in a military uniform, why? You're investigating the hidden destination and preparing to change to another place. Show your skills?'

"Sir Wilson, long time no see." Faced with this kind of identity, Alexeyev chose to avoid it, smiling and greeting the British, "This time the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom mediate the India-Pakistan conflict together. , it can be regarded as a good start for our two countries in international cooperation. Don't start with the smell of gunpowder as soon as you open your mouth, the two countries have to get along for a long time.'

"Yes, get along for a long time." Alan Wilson almost laughed, thinking that it is right to get along for a long time, but I don't know whether it will be called the Soviet Union or Russia at that time.

Alan Wilson nodded and left the other party's line of sight. At night, the Queen of Sweden took out the pillow and two blankets and lay down. The warm and warm bed, the cool and cool night, the low curtain full of stars, seems to hang on your eyelids. UU reading www.uukanshu.com At this point in life, what more can I ask for?!

Three days later, under the witness of British Prime Minister Eden and Chairman of the Soviet Council of Ministers Kosygin, Pakistani President Ayub Khan and Indian Prime Minister Shastri signed the Stockholm Declaration. Troops from both sides retreated to their pre-war positions and reached an agreement to discuss economic, refugee and other issues.

The Declaration made no mention of holding a referendum in Kashmir to determine its ownership in accordance with UN resolutions and the aspirations of the Kashmiri people, but only generally proposed "non-interference in each other's internal affairs" and "resolving disputes between them without the use of force but by peaceful means." "

This is also normal. Why does the Kashmir issue need to be resolved, and the UK and the Soviet Union cannot solve this problem. To solve it, India and Pakistan have to solve it themselves. The UK and the Soviet Union can promote a declaration, which has already explained to the country. As for India and Pakistan How to explain in the country, then don't do their business.

The Soviet Union has expanded its influence, and the United Kingdom has maintained good relations with India. It can also be a matchmaker and become a second-hand oil dealer. As for India and Pakistan, it doesn't matter at all.
