Chapter 723: Storm in the Gulf (11) After hearing this, Prince James understood in his heart and said: "I know, now only Germany, France and other Western European countries want to buy more than 10 billion barrels of oil from me.

, after hearing what you said, we will take action immediately, and the more we sell, the more we will earn by then."

Yao Yi smiled and said: "Haha, let's do it like this. Let's get the money in our hands first. We can discuss other things slowly."

James said: "What should we do about the hostages?"

Yao Yi smiled and said: "I just said, let your British Foreign Minister and the American Secretary of State talk to me. If they don't come, I won't bother to care about it. I'm still scratching my head about Siberia and the Far East. How can I

You have time to take care of this matter. Besides, if something happens, it is also the matter of your two governments. Now it is time to test whether the governments of your two countries really pay attention to ** or pretend to pay attention to **. This hostage incident is

A touchstone.”

James shook his head and said: "I'd better convey your intention to them. I think it's really difficult for them to come."

James was confused, but Yao Yi knew very well.

In the afternoon of that day, the British Foreign Minister called Yao Yi and expressed that he wanted to meet Yao Yi that night and discuss the matter with Yao Yi the next day with the US Secretary of State.

Yao Yi naturally agreed, because on some matters, the British and American governments seemed to be in harmony but seemed to be completely different from each other. Maybe the British Foreign Minister had other secrets to discuss with Yao Yi.

When the British Foreign Minister saw Yao Yi that night, he said respectfully and apologetically: "Dear Duke Yao, I apologize for the remarks I made publicly a few days ago. Moreover, these words were not my true meaning, but those of the U.S. Foreign Minister.

You asked me to say this specifically to test Duke Yao's reaction, so I met with you in advance tonight just to express my sincere suggestions to you."

Yao Yi smiled and said: "Actually, I know very well the difficulties of you government officials, especially diplomats. Many things are not your original intention, but the will of the country. However, you have to bear more.

Diplomatic censure.”

Yao Yi's words suddenly reached the heart of the British Foreign Minister. He sighed and said: "Duke Yao is really sharp-eyed and can see the problem clearly. We are really in trouble. Just talk about this matter. In fact,

Our British government does not want to go against you, and we both have extensive economic interests, especially the relationship between Prince James and you is extraordinary. However, under the current circumstances, our government has no choice but to stand on the same front as the United States.

Because we have too many oil interests in Iraq, only by using the military strength of the United States can we recover our oil investment in Iraq. Otherwise, our investment will only be wiped out in the war. I hope Duke Yao can understand

Our difficulties.”

Yao Yi smiled and said: "I think your government's wishful thinking may not be realized."

The British foreign minister said: "Why do you say that?"

Yao Yi said: "Many things cannot be solved by the use of force, especially the perfidious behavior of the US government, which disgusts me. I will not let the US gain any benefits from Iraqi oil. If you don't believe me, just wait and see.

They Americans will pay the price for this, and you can also tell the U.S. government this."

The British Foreign Minister knew in his heart that Yao Yi's words were ostensibly directed at the Americans, but in fact they were implicitly directed at the British, because they, the British, accounted for the majority of both the oil interests and the number of hostages.

The British Foreign Minister said: "I personally am also very disgusted with the actions of the US government. Before I came, I had serious discussions with the Prime Minister. Our British government still adheres to the previous approach, supports Duke Yao as always, and will once again

Reaffirm all previously issued statements."

Yao Yi smiled and said: "As for this matter, I think it is better to leave it on paper. After all, there is nothing between us."

Yao Yi has already suffered a loss in this matter, so this time Yao Yi must be more careful to prevent them from cheating.

Yao Yi took out the relevant agreement that had been prepared for a long time, and then said: "Look, if there are no problems, we can sign it."

The British Foreign Minister looked at the agreement in surprise. He did not expect that Yao Yi had been prepared. At the same time, he also knew very well that this time, Yao Yi would never agree to their conditions easily. If there was not enough bait, this matter would

It's totally useless.

He looked at the agreement carefully and finally said: "This matter is a bit sudden. I have to discuss it with our Prime Minister before I can make a decision. So, please forgive me."

Yao Yi said: "It doesn't matter, you can study it slowly. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry now. I have plenty of time."

The British Foreign Minister said: "I think our British government will reply to you soon. Don't worry. If there is nothing unnecessary, then I will withdraw first."

Yao Yi smiled and said: "Okay, let's go, I'll see you off!"

The British Foreign Minister quickly said: "Stand back, the matter is urgent, I will take the first step."

After saying that, the British Foreign Minister ran away quickly. Now he not only needed to report to their Prime Minister, but also needed to inform the Americans.

After the British Foreign Minister left, the British government quickly became busy and convened a series of relevant people for discussions. At the same time, the US Secretary of State on the plane and the US President in the White House in Washington had obtained Yao Yi's agreement and began to

Call together staff to discuss countermeasures.

Early the next morning, after the British Foreign Minister and the US Secretary of State met, they rushed to Yao Yi's Lake Geneva estate.

They knew very well that Yao Yi had plenty of time, but the hostages in Iraq did not have that much time. Their lives were in danger at any time, so rescuing these people in a timely manner became the most urgent matter.

In addition, the eyes of the whole world are focused here, watching how the United States and Britain handle the hostage crisis.

After they saw Yao Yi, Yao Yi said with a smile: "Oh, I didn't expect it. This is the first time I have seen such a big shot as the US Secretary of State. He can send an aircraft carrier fleet into the Chinese sea, and he can say one thing and do another. I'm afraid

Only big shots in the United States have the qualifications and power to do this, and officials like the foreign minister can only follow orders."

The US Secretary of State, from Yao Yi's words, felt Yao Yi's strong anger.

Although Yao Yi was angry, he was not angry and said with a smile on his face: "You are right. In the United States, there are indeed some such big figures who keep causing trouble in Congress. Otherwise, our U.S. government will not

It will leave a bad reputation in Duke Yao's heart that he does not keep his word and is not trustworthy. I have severely criticized some irresponsible congressmen in the country."
