"President, the world's oil prices are relatively low recently. Mrs. Thatcher has proposed several times to us that we need to put pressure on Middle Eastern countries to restore their original quota production and restore world oil prices to a reasonable range. (.  wo.)" Vice President Bush said to President Reagan: "And, the world's oil prices are so low. Although our domestic oil fields have tried to minimize oil production, they still can't bear it."

Low oil prices are a blessing for countries that need to import oil. Low oil prices bring about rapid development of logistics and other industries, but for oil-producing countries, it is definitely not a good thing.

The United Kingdom, the major oil exporter in Europe, can no longer withstand it. For the United States, although the United States has increased its strategic crude oil reserves through low oil prices and reduced its own domestic oil extraction and provided partial subsidies, American oil merchants are also having a headache for the reduced interests, especially Vice President Bush, himself, an oil businessman. Bush is very economically savvy. Just after World War II, he gave up his superior life in New England and took his newly married wife to the newly emerging oil state Texas. With the support of his uncle, Bush founded his own oil company in 1951. In 1966, Bush was elected as a member of Congress, and later became the vice president.

Now, Bush's own interests are beginning to suffer losses, and of course he has to care. So, he suggested to the president that the price of oil this time seems to be a bit too low?

Who knew that what President Reagan said convinced Bush. President Reagan had always been accustomed to listening to his subordinates' speeches and then choosing a plan that he thought was the best. Vice President Bush often gave advice for President Reagan and received adopted opinions.

In fact, President Reagan's consideration was more meticulous. Reagan was able to climb from an actor to the throne of the president. How could he be an incompetent person?

"Who is our biggest enemy now?" asked President Reagan.

"Of course it's the Soviet Union." Bush said.

"So, what are our strategies for the Soviet Union?"

"Economic. drag down the Soviet Union!" Bush said. In order to deal with the huge empire in the north, the United States made a wise decision. The United States used its economic advantages to drag down the Soviet Union and embarked on the road of arms race. Now, the economic situation in the United States is very bad because the United States has invested a lot of money in the military, including the famous Star Wars plan. The Soviet Union's economy is even more unoptimistic because the Soviet Union has to maintain the same military expenditure as the United States on the basis of its gross national product lower than that of the United States. The Soviet Union is now beginning to make great efforts to aircraft carriers. They think that military strength is truly powerful? Real strength is economic!

The Soviet Union has now begun to borrow money from Western Europe. After this operation begins, the Soviet Union will no longer recover, like a snowball. The debts are getting bigger and bigger, and in the end, they will have to borrow new debts to repay old debts. At that time, they can use the debt problem to force the Soviet Union to make concessions on some issues. If the Soviet Union does not make concessions, then they will not lend the Soviet Union funds, so that they have no funds and import food!

Reagan's vision was also quite poisonous. He had already thought that now that oil prices are sluggish, it is not only the British oil industry that is suffering, but the Soviet oil industry will be even more injured. This is a good time! Wouldn't it be better to let that huge empire slowly bleed and die?

Bush is also a smart person. When Reagan said this, he understood that President Reagan's meaning was to take advantage of the opportunity of the sluggish oil price to destroy the Soviet Union!

In later generations, it was at Reagan's suggestion that Saudi Arabia's large-scale increase in production led to a sluggish world oil prices. As a result, the Soviet Union became poorer and poorer. Finally, Gorbachev discovered that when he came to power, he had nothing under his command. He wanted to reform and had no funds. He wanted to block the funding gap. There were several ways, such as stopping the exchange of oil and natural gas with the Eastern European Republic, and using these oil and gas to exchange hard currency with the West. However, in this case, all franchises

The Republic is probably about to disintegrate. Chapter 788 Save many initial development costs. The oil pipelines in Texas are widely distributed and are sold in the United States. The consumption and refining bases are very close, which greatly saves transportation costs. Under various conditions, the production cost of oil fields in Texas is very low. Therefore, the oil industry in the United States is still quite stable, but the profits have decreased, which is also very unpleasant. They mine oil for profits, and definitely not for contributions.

Bush's oil company has now made very low profits, to a level that he cannot accept.

Although the interests of the United States are important, Bush was already an oil businessman before becoming vice president, and he still needed to take into account his own interests.

Although the country has begun to subsidize its own oil industry in a small part, the U.S. finances are also very difficult now. The U.S. fiscal deficit has often reached 100 billion US dollars, which is a terrible figure. The current decline in oil prices has made the U.S. economy improve. However, Bush can't let his oil companies continue to live so undying because of this, right?

However, Bush could not directly mention this, so he proposed to President Reagan on behalf of Texas oil tycoons that the oil price seemed to be too low, so I couldn't let the Iron Lady lose so much that she didn't even have a dress, right?

However, after President Reagan said this, Bush felt that since this could destroy the Soviet Union, in the eyes of the president, he would probably sacrifice his own interests.

"George," said President Reagan. "Although in this way, we are doing our best to fight our common enemies, and have suffered some losses to our own oil producers in our country."

Speaking of this, Reagan paused for a moment. Of course, his words were intentionally said to Bush. Who doesn’t know that Bush is a Texas oil rich man!

"But this matter may not be entirely harmful to us. We know that BP is almost unable to withstand it now. So, what should BP do next?" Reagan asked.

bp, it is BP. Bush understood when he heard this. After all, the president was the smartest. He actually made such a calculation!

Thanks to the majesty of the empire that once sets, the British oil hegemony was established in the second half of the 19th century. Britain owns oil fields in many parts of the world. Although its majesty is not present, the British foundation is still there. Britain also has shares in the oil fields in many other countries. For example, Oman Oil Development Company manipulated 90% of Oman's oil reserves and 94% of its output. In this company, bp accounts for 20% of its shares. Not only these underdeveloped countries, but also among developed countries. For example, in Canada's Dom Oil Company, bp holds a large amount of shares, and even in the United States and Texas, bp also has a large amount of shares in oil fields!

President Reagan's plan was very clever. British oil companies were too powerful. Although the United States and Britain were allies and closest comrades in the army, when it came to interests, brothers and clear accounts were established everywhere. (In later generations, the United States used the BP company's oil leakage in the Gulf of Mexico to snatch BP's shares in Mexico.)

It simply took advantage of this oil price cut, which seriously affected the revenue of BP companies when it hit the Soviet Union. In this way, in order to maintain it, BP companies must try all kinds of ways, such as selling their shares in American oil companies!

Bush was originally from an oil company, but when he heard President Reagan say this, he immediately became impressed. Next, what his company needs to do is raise funds and prepare to acquire their shares in the oil company in Texas when the BP funds are broken!

Thinking of the benefits American oil merchants gained from this, Bush naturally had no doubt about President Reagan's actions.

"This time, Iraq cooperated surprisingly. It seems that as long as we throw more olive greens to Iraq, Iraq will turn to us." Bush said. "Maybe, the condition proposed by Iraq last time is that if the UK cannot pay the cost of the e-3 early warning aircraft, we can really consider selling this early warning aircraft to Iraq first."
