Soviet Union 1991

Second update

Lukman was not interested and did not dare to know the depth of the conspiracy and competition between the major powers behind the situation in Libya and Iraq. But when Ilarionov mentioned this matter, he Know that you are touching on certain questions that you should not ask.

Of course, no one will know that it was Yanayev who encouraged Gaddafi to commit suicide to provoke NATO with one hand, and encouraged Saddam to commit suicide to continue challenging the bottom line of the United States' patience, and indirectly encouraged the other party to send troops to the Middle East. The final result is as seen. The two quagmires are sinking deeper and deeper, and the water in the Middle East is becoming increasingly turbid. It also contributed to the soaring price of oil, which almost made Yanayev laugh in his dreams. The historically record-low oil prices did not appear at all in the 1990s in this timeline.

Ilarionov changed into a comfortable posture, looked at Lukman and continued, "OPEC's major member states have lost one Iraq and one Libya. Of course, this is also one of the factors that caused the collapse of OPEC's internal stability. . But you have to understand one thing. The Soviet Union has the ability to continue to disintegrate your members. We can deal with you one by one. What can OPEC do to fight us? The declining Soviet Union is still the terrible Iron Curtain in the West. The mighty Soviet bear.”

The translator sitting next to him tried to find the most tactful tone to tell the other party to avoid making the negotiation reach a deadlock.

Ryzhkov glanced at Ilarionov, hoping that his partner could control his emotions, but the other party seemed to completely ignore Ryzhkov's hint, leaned forward slightly, and continued, "So I still hope you can understand one thing clearly. This is not the Soviet Union asking for OPEC. It's about communicating with us to resolve any problems that may arise. If OPEC wants to go to war, the Soviet Union also has a Kara Sea super oil field that is about to be completed, existing Siberian oil fields, Caucasus oil fields, Far East oil fields, etc., this is definitely the case. It was a lose-lose situation, but the Soviet Union was never afraid of any challenge.”

Although Lukman's heart was in turmoil, he still showed a calm look on his face until finally Ilarionov said, "If you are really planning to launch a war, you have to consider one thing clearly. The Soviet Union has already An efficient subsea oil field cleaner has been found.”

"What?" Lukman's face finally showed the panic Ilarionov expected.

"Is it weird?" Ilarionov said to Lukman, "Why do you think we chose to negotiate with you at this time? The Kara Sea oil field has entered the development project. It is really because we have found a more effective way to clean it. The cost has been reduced. Sorry, Secretary-General Lukman, the Soviet Union has an advantage in this regard."

Ilarionov and Lukman started a psychological war. The undersea oil field was the first trump card, and the second trump card was to deceive the other party that he had an efficient cleaning agent for refining oil. In this way, Lukman's control is more appropriate. To be honest, if it weren't for the original policy of pegging oil to the U.S. dollar, where would it have been for a bunch of bastards in the Middle East to become arrogant around the world?

"Forget about regulation, as long as the Soviet Union doesn't cause chaos to the world oil market." Ilarionov said with a pun, warning the other party not to make small moves. The Soviet Union still has the capital to play slowly with these Islamic guys. of.

"I hope that the Soviet Union and OPEC can cooperate more deeply in the future, at least they are no longer mutually exclusive, right? Oh, by the way, there is one more thing."

Ilarionov narrowed his eyes and said word by word, "We still remember the incident between OPEC and the Reagan administration in 1985, but the Soviet Union will not forget it."

Lukman gasped. He knew exactly what the other party was talking about. Lao Huangli mentioned it again to warn the other party not to play any more tricks. He still clearly remembers the previous festivals.

Ilarionov emphasized again.
