Chapter 1907 - 1584: Something's Off
Joe Ga didn't know why, but he felt that everything was out of place...
Even if the old ruling class's thinking had become rigid, misjudging Prince Salman's intentions, they must be aware of the consequences of angering the Shah.
Reducing production to raise oil prices is a very simple thing for the Shah, the big boss of OPEC+.
Why would they do this?
Pressing the Shah is not difficult for Europe and America at the current stage, as long as they recognize reality and reschedule their strategy...
The way they are offending Prince Salman so openly seems like a message to him to raise oil prices immediately.
What are the benefits of doing this?
To continue pressuring Europe?
That's impossible. For over a month, Joe and his team have organized a massive influx of energy through Nord Stream into Europe; their energy pressure is not as severe as outsiders might imagine...
It's just about money; Europe can withstand it.
What exactly does the Lake Belga Foundation want?
"They need to pay the price for their rudeness..."
Joe Ga heard the Crown Prince beside him gritting his teeth and speaking harsh words. He stopped and looked at Prince Salman, whose face was full of hate, and suddenly realized something...
"What kind of Europe do you think England wants from their standpoint?"
Prince Salman was puzzled by Joe Ga's leap in thinking. He frowned and said, "England wants to be the leader of Europe, but obviously, France and Germany won't allow it, and after exiting the European Union, it's even less possible."
Joe Ga shook his head, saying, "England's offshore balance strategy doesn't just target Asia and Africa; they also want Europe to be fragmented so that they can exert influence.
The push for Ukraine to join NATO, the loudest voice was England...
Due to their location, they are not worried about the impact of a war between Europe and Russia.
You can see it from their refugee policy...
These people shout left-wing slogans, but their actual actions tend to be conservative; Germany, where the left is prevalent, has actually been led by them into a pit."
Prince Salman frowned and looked at Joe Ga, saying, "What are you talking about?"
Joe Ga shook his head, saying, "England wants to dismantle the France-Germany alliance; with France and Germany around, England's voice in Europe will be suppressed.
The European Union is too large, and England's misstep took them out of the EU's leadership circle; they are seeking a new breakthrough.
Germany would be the best target!"
Prince Salman looked at the mysterious Joe Ga, a bit dissatisfied, and said, "What exactly are you talking about?"
Joe Ga turned to look at Prince Salman and said calmly, "Germany has always been hopeful about the Nord Stream issue.
They want to sever Germany's last hope, break Germany's industrial backbone, then consume Germany's international capital.
They just want you to raise oil prices to push Germany's industrial costs to unbearable levels.
Germany is rich, but rising industrial costs mean their products lose market; they must seek transfers to survive, and America is the best destination..."
Prince Salman became more and more confused as he listened; he frowned and said, "What exactly are you talking about?"
Joe Ga waved and said, "I'm talking about the Lake Belga Foundation, the Rothschild family leads this foundation, and old Bayer is also a member.
Old Bayer suppressing you is conforming to media inertia, also out of habit.
I bet you've suspended the 200 billion military purchase signed with Big Mouth Tang..."
Joe looked at Prince Salman's somewhat peculiar expression and waved, saying, "That's normal; they don't respect you, so why give them the order?
Old Bayer is removing Big Mouth Tang's lingering effects; as long as the war in Ukraine continues, he can reunite the military-industrial complex through aid.
America now has serious inflation; only the big plate of the military-industrial complex can absorb those printed bills, and hopefully, they can boost employment.
Using Ukraine's debt to boost their own arms industry, raise employment rates, and finally, consume the arms in Ukraine...
Now they also want to cut Germany's leeks; as long as they can force Germany to take a stand, the EU won't hold up."
Prince Salman looked at Joe Ga incredulously and said, "How did you come to this conclusion? Just because they made me..."
Joe Ga shook his head, saying, "Because their actions are abnormal...
The British Royal Family shouldn't let these people mess around like this; this time, the British Royal Family hasn't commented on the humiliation you faced, which means someone persuaded them.
As oil prices continue to rise, the most heavily affected people or countries are their targets!
But there's still one thing I haven't figured out...
Even if you're angry, reducing production and driving up oil prices with allies seems insufficient to bring down Germany.
Nord Stream is still operating, and there are intermediaries who can help; Russia urgently needs funding and certainly wouldn't mind selling energy to Germany at a low price.
"This might cause Germany to reconsider its stance..."
While speaking, Joe Ga suddenly remembered a 'top secret plan' initiated by White House security advisor Chauvin, agreed upon by old Bayer, and formulated by the CIA...
He looked at Prince Salman with an horrified expression and said, "Those people want to destroy Nord Stream, cut off Germany's hopes, and then consume the juiciest parts they possess.
England is likely the supporter, and after the event, they will use the Atlantic route to bring America's energy into Europe, simultaneously cooperating with America to deeply harvest Europe.
America is determined to implement a contraction strategy; they want to transfer some global governance powers to England...
Only if there is chaos within the European Union can England have the opportunity to intervene..."
Prince Salman heard this, frowned, and said in disbelief, "Attacking an energy facility like Nord Stream is akin to declaring war; how dare they?"
Joe Ga heard this and scoffed, saying, "Huswu militants keep bombing your oil field; what can you do about them?
However, this bunch's plans will likely fail, and I think they will eventually come begging for you to increase production to save them..."
Prince Salman's eyes lit up as he heard this and said, "Is that possible?"
Joe Ga spread his hands and said, "Brother, America's energy prices are synchronized with international energy prices, and energy companies aren't part of the government...
We've been messing with America's shale oil industry for years; it's not been for nothing. Their guild organizations, enterprises, and local governments are so caught up in ideological battles that they're trapped in their own delusions; their output won't rise...
When America itself is troubled by energy prices, that's when old Bayer will come asking for your help."
Countries, interest groups, individuals...
Sometimes you see the big picture, even a country finds a direction benefiting the masses; however, things don't develop as imagined because national interests conflict with interest groups' benefits.
If you can clarify the relationships and interest chains among these three, many seemingly schizophrenic actions from Europe and America can be reasonably explained.
Prince Salman gently nodded after listening, saying, "Even if that's the case, what does it have to do with us?
This doesn't benefit my current situation in any way."
Joe Ga noticed Prince Salman's eyes flashing slightly and shook his head, saying, "If Nord Stream encounters problems, Shah's importance will be highlighted.
Brother, just laugh if you want...
As long as you remember those people are unreliable, and don't lead Shah into their rhythm, you'll be the greatest leader in Shah's modern history."
Prince Salman nodded affirmatively and said, "Of course, I will never forget the humiliation they inflicted on me..."
Prince Salman looked curiously at Joe Ga, whose expression seemed heavy throughout, and asked, "Why do you worry so much?
What does this have to do with you?
If Nord Stream encounters problems, the value of your Mediterranean Energy Company will be exponentially increased..."
Joe Ga said helplessly, "Currently, Nord Stream is a cash cow for us; you invested too, didn't you forget?
FUCK, if Nord Stream encounters problems, Russia will have no room left to maneuver..."
Prince Salman wasn't as angry as before; he laughed, saying, "It's just a bit of money; it doesn't matter...
As long as the benefits outweigh the losses, then everything is acceptable to me."
Joe Ga looked at Prince Salman, who seemed alright again, and scoffed, saying, "Then you have to be prepared; America's energy industry definitely can't withstand this. When you become the focus, you'll face 'interrogation' from all of Europe and America...
If you can't withstand it, you'll lose autonomy just like your elders..."
While speaking, Joe Ga took out his phone and called Eric, still in Odessa...
"Eric, help me check that CIA's top secret plan; we need to make some preparations..."
Eric, on the other end, paused for a moment and said, "The plan concerning Nord Stream?"
Joe Ga sensed something was off in Eric's tone, frowned, and asked, "What's up?"
Eric took a deep breath and said, "It seems like the plan has been canceled...
I'll contact the Pentagon Brotherhood to help me keep an eye on it; there will be news soon."
After hearing this, Joe Ga became more convinced the plan would be executed, so he nodded and said, "Then hurry up; if Nord Stream encounters problems, we'll need to find other ways for business in Odessa..."
Joe Ga hung up the phone and talked with Prince Salman for a while...
The crown prince, whose mood suddenly improved, generously lent his estate to Joe Ga for temporary stay and said he would cover all expenses. Then, the prince hurriedly took a car to the airport...
The judgment Joe Ga made was difficult to verify at the moment, but once Nord Stream encounters problems, he can make plans in advance, securing a position of influence in the future.
This is extremely important for a leader!
By then, there will be plenty of opportunities for revenge!
Just as Joe Ga was about to stop his family from moving into Shah's Super Mansion, Eric called him...
"Boss, something doesn't seem right..."
