The Rise of the Empire

"What you just said is very unfriendly. I heard hegemony and arbitrariness in it." Lisa Khan's words contained anger and a hint of surprise. He couldn't understand why Count Moritz, who had been peaceful just now, would directly threaten him now. This style of painting changes a bit quickly.

"Because in the conversation just now, I felt your embarrassment. In the negotiation just now, I have told you what to do in this cooperation and what you can get. From a domestic perspective, no one will offer more than us. Are the conditions higher? We can even support you to become the next king. And what you need to do is definitely within your ability. When we show goodwill, you should not talk about what you should do in the future. In return?" Count Moritz said.

"I just want to know how you are doing in Persia. As for what I should do, I will naturally do it, but this is definitely not the reason for me to betray the country." Lisa Khan said.

"Well, let's discuss it in a transaction method that we are both accustomed to. If we help you rise to power, what kind of compensation can you give?" Count Moritz asked.

"I will expel the United States and Russia from Persia, but I will not ban normal trade." Lisa Khan said. "After all, trade is just trade and has little to do with politics. Just because you have helped us, we cannot allow you to control our economic lifeline," Lisa Khan said.

"We will not prohibit normal trade, but if you want to enjoy the trade preferences between us and our allies, then it is impossible. For example, for countries that have joined the trade alliance, the import of raw materials and low-grade products , we will reduce or reduce tariffs. But if you cannot accept our conditions, your products exported to Europe will not be able to enjoy tariff preferences. And the specifications of the exported products must also meet our standards, otherwise we will not import them. " Moritz said.

Moritz's answer can be described as soft yet firm! Persia needs foreign exchange, so here comes the question, how does Persia obtain foreign exchange? Naturally, the only option is to export petroleum products. So where can petroleum products be exported? Naturally, they are countries and regions that consume a lot of oil, and one of these two regions is North America and Europe!

In fact, from an economic point of view, even if it is exported to North America, as the world's largest oil producer, it is almost impossible for the United States to import a large amount of oil. Even Canada mainly imports American oil. Considering freight and tariffs, it is very difficult for Persian oil to enter the American market.

Another big market is Europe. If it was before the war, the demand for oil was urgent, and Europeans had to import oil, although the oil fields in Persia were controlled by the British at that time. But things are different now. The Germans have obtained the Baku oil fields and the oil fields in the Mesopotamia. Although the output of these oil fields is worse than that of the United States, to be honest, this oil is still enough to supply Europe!

And considering the supporting facilities and transportation system,

This oil also has a great advantage in terms of cost. After all, the oil produced from the oil fields in the northern Mesopotamia can be directly transported to the Black Sea through pipelines, and then shipped to Europe, while Persian oil can only bypass the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea! In terms of transportation costs, Persia lost a big chunk. Coupled with the tariff reductions and exemptions within Europe, if Persia cannot be integrated into the economic union led by Germany and Austria, then Persian oil will not have any competitiveness!

As for exporting to regions such as East Asia and South Asia, is it possible? In theory, it is certainly possible, but you will also have to face competition from the oil fields of the Netherlands and Japan. So, now comes the problem. Because the development level of the global economy and its dependence on the oil industry are relatively low, oil production capacity is actually in excess. Think about it, Americans only pay 17 cents for a gallon of gasoline. How can they count on Iran? Producing such low-priced gasoline is undoubtedly a fantasy! Therefore, Moritz doesn't have to argue with Lisa Khan on this issue at all. I won't buy your product directly, and you will kneel down. So the so-called equality does not exist at all!

And this problem cannot be changed even if the Americans control Persia. The reason is very simple. Ruprecht originally established this trade alliance to build tariff barriers against the United States and compete for the market. Even the Americans blocked it. It will be even more difficult for Persian-invested oil fields to export oil to Europe! As for letting Persia digest millions of tons of oil every year? Take a shower and go to sleep!

Lisa Khan really couldn't answer what Moritz said, because he knew that Persia was too weak. Facing this behemoth that had initially integrated Europe, Persia had too little weight.

"Actually, I feel that when you are considering what you can get from Germany and Austria, it is best to consider what you will lose if your country is controlled by the United States and Russia? Maybe Americans don't care much about your country's resources. But the Russians , the Russians who have lost too much blood now will never give up this piece of fat on their lips! The Russians need cheap oil resources, agricultural products and various minerals produced by your country, and even your country’s territory ! When they took these things from your country, have they considered compensating your country? Will Americans uphold justice for your country? Should we wait and see?" Count Moritz's words were very harsh!

"But since you have asked about the treatment of your country, I can tell you clearly that we are not seeking to control your country's sovereignty, nor are we seeking to station troops in Persia. We are only asking your country and the United States to , Britain and Russia, sever ties in any form, including but not limited to political, economic and military. Your country can have completely independent tariffs. We will not make any changes to your country in terms of technology introduction and business options. There are many restrictions. For example, if your country needs to import a batch of cars, then German cars can compete with French or Italian products. The final choice will naturally be decided by your country. The same is true for other economic fields and even the military. This answer, Are you satisfied?" Count Moritz asked.

"This condition seems to be better than that of the United States and Russia." Lisa Khan said in his heart.

"Okay, my friend, we can actually put this issue aside for now. You have enough time to consider and choose, and we do the same. In this case, why don't we focus on reality?" Mo Mo Count Ritz said.
