I became Stalin chapter 290

290

After making Nasser and the Egyptians into a sea of ​​tears, he was able to get rid of them quickly. In the first place, Iranian Mosadeg, who nationalized and took power by the Soviet Union and uprooted the CIA’s spy network, could not abandon the Soviet Union until it was abandoned.

The same goes for Iraq, which destroyed the colony’s home country, Britain, and had to be seen clearly because it was attached to it. Although it is such a small country, Kuwait, who is looking for a new place to join, was able to talk with us hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

The biggest problem was Saudi Arabia, which was the only place in this site to have a separate Bibil Hill.

“Aha, nice to meet you.”

The impression I got from King Abdulaziz ibn Saud, aka Ibn Saud was that of an old fox.

A man who overthrew the Hashim family of Muhammad, who had ruled Mecca for 700 years, took over the two holy places of Mecca and Medina, and swept over the desolate Arabian Peninsula. When oil, black gold, erupted from beneath the desert land, he joined hands with the United States while distancing himself from Britain, the de facto ruler of the Arabian Peninsula.

Now that America’s supremacy is being shaken, and realizing that the lifespan of oil will not be forever thanks to nuclear power generation, the old fox who came to this place held my hand and waved it, giving a sneaky laugh at first glance.

“Nice to meet you. Isn’t it the will of Allah to meet you here?”

When I was so naughty, Ibn Saud looked at me with a rather startled look upon hearing the interpretation.

“Did not the Soviets think that there is no God?”

“Shh! This is a secret. Hahaha, I’m telling you something special, so please keep it a secret.”

“Heh heh heh heh… This, this, I know.”

Christianity, as a brother religion of the same monotheistic faith in the doctrine of Islam, is a better being among the pagans. Atheists, on the other hand, were the worst.

So I decided to do a little bit of acting. What if Stalin, who attended seminary as a child, still had something resembling the Orthodox faith in his heart! People on my side looked at me in amazement, but I hissed and winked.

“You too be quiet. Do you understand?”

“Yes! Comrade Secretary General!”

Now, what should I show this old fox?

To Nasser, who longed for independence from imperialism, he showed industrialization and national education, the power to do so. Mosadeg, who could be thrown out of the royal family at any time in a coup d’état, gave stability to power and support.

What does Iza, who has 45 sons, want to see in the Soviet Union, a father who wants to pass on the money and technology to develop his country’s future industry to his children?

“that… what is that?”

“What do you mean? Ah!”

bingo. King Ibn Saud was also human, so he looked for what he was interested in.

What he pointed to was a huge chimney-like structure standing on the shore. It was our nuclear power plant. The power plant, which was built to supply electricity to the Crimean Peninsula and to research reactors for nuclear-powered ships to be deployed in the Black Sea Fleet, and also to export to Romania and Turkey, seemed strange to the old fox.

“That’s our nuclear power plant. over there… It produces roughly 10 million tons of electricity per year. Heh heh heh.”

“If 10 million tons… .”

“It would be about 50 million barrels of oil.”

ok… King Ibn Saud let out an uncomfortable moan. How many gigabytes of those seemingly small nuclear power plants produce more energy than all of Saudi Arabia’s oil production?

Stalin wouldn’t lie here, but it made him more uncomfortable. Energy that produces approximately 1 million barrels per day (35 million barrels per year) is something that can be replaced at any time!

‘Oil is not only useful for energy, but… .’

Of course, my mind looking at him was a little more complicated. Oil, as is widely known, has many other uses as well as energy.

Direct consumption of oil is mainly a means of transportation such as vehicles. Coal, not oil, was mainly used for thermal power generation to produce electricity, and as time went on, natural gas also started to be used. Because oil was more than just such an energy source.

From the production of plastics, a necessity of modern society, to pharmaceuticals and asphalt, the carbon chain provided by oil has supported modern civilization. As long as there is oil, Saudi Arabia will be able to survive even if a rich man goes bankrupt.

But King Ibn Saud, knowing he was about to die, was terrified.

“It’s so… I think it’s great!”

“Heh heh heh heh, the electricity produced there is used for various purposes, but… Much of it is used to desalinate the waters of the Black Sea. Have you heard of seawater desalination?”

“No, what is it?”

“The words are simple. In a facility that looks like a large factory over there, it filters seawater and turns it into fresh water that we can use.”

gulp. This time the old fox swallowed the saliva.

Although the land itself is large, Saudi Arabia, which is just a barren desert except for black gold and salty water all around the Gulf and Red Sea, has always lacked water resources. Jordan, of the Hashemite dynasty, who was a fierce rival, seized the abundant water resources among the Middle Eastern countries to the point of protecting Saudi Arabia.

But how do you make salty seawater drinkable fresh water? It sounded like extracting gold from seawater, so to speak.

“How is it… .”

“I don’t know the details either. Our technicians will know.”

“Hmm… Is that so?”

Well, there is a melody I learned, so I know roughly. There are so-called evaporation and reverse osmosis methods, but they both consume a lot of energy in common.

“But I do know that our nuclear power plant’s huge power generation capacity supports that plant. Originally, we could not meet the low energy cost, but the nuclear power plant… .”

“That… Can’t we have some of these nuclear power plants?”

When the old fox couldn’t hide her desire, somehow a smile came out.

“Cancer, good! But now, after discussing what to do with OPEC, I can give you a definitive answer.”

“Oh, thank you.”

In other words, if you keep trying to play quail at Opec, there is no soup. Saudi Arabia seemed to want to take control of the next-generation energy by using its current dominance in the energy sector as a stepping stone.

To do that, we had to get help from the Soviet Union, and we were now writing properly in those old eyes.

“Honestly, does it make sense to say that oil is less than $3? How would you develop something with that penny?”

“Hmm… That’s right. However, our oil is owned by a joint venture… .”

At this time, the international oil price is about 2.8 dollars. In 2010, it was around $20-30. Considering how far the oil shock once raised oil prices, just participating in OPEC could give Ibn Saud the nuclear power plant and desalination plant that he wants.

We can develop it again!

However, hiding the hand wasn’t bad either. As if it would be difficult to install a nuclear power plant thanks to an agreement with the United States, or as if you shouldn’t have it.

When an old fox is panting with a sweet body, if you pull him into Opec and show him a lot of honey, he’ll probably lose his mind. Especially if it’s the children who, unlike their fathers, have a high level of luxury!

After passing through King Noh’s dreams and hopes, the limousine we rode reached the meeting place.

“King Ibn Saud, enter!”

Clap clap clink. As I and Ibn Saud entered the crowd, they all stood up and clapped. The king seemed to be quite satisfied with his heartfelt wish for respect for the elders. You could say it’s an escort as I’m behind it, but is that enough?

Unusually a splendid place in a socialist country, it was decorated with an Arab-style interior that was airlifted in a hurry. In order for everyone to sit comfortably and talk about this and that, we have prepared numerous details that do not go against religious taboos.

People gratefully opened their mouths and were amazed at the unexpected splendor of the Soviet Union.

“Huh… Is this great?”

“Probably, if we raise the price of oil a little more, everyone here will be able to do more than this. Hahaha… .”

At that, Nasser frowned slightly, then smiled. I liked that look. The attitude of pouring every last penny, every last drop, into the prosperity of the people, rather than spending money on luxuries.

On the other hand, King Saud, who has 22 wives and 45 sons, spends money like oil. After you die, your children will devour the country the founding monarch desperately built.

“Currently, the price of oil is fixed at $2.77 per barrel. Because of this, we are not getting our share of what we deserve! They can slap prices if they need less, but we can’t fight back by cutting production. At this meeting… Together, we will have to figure out a way to control production.”

“Right!”

Nasser picked up the gun and started the engine. Cancer, not like that.

The fixed price system for oil was completely unfavorable to oil-producing countries. Inflation gets worse over time, but the price is fixed! And the fact that they were only traded in dollars put pressure on them.

“But who puts a bell around a cat’s neck? Even if the production is reduced to the target, isn’t it common sense to break the agreement and take a sweet profit?”

“It’s a bell on the cat’s neck… Then we, the Soviet Union, can do it.”

“Yes???”

The old fox King Saud saw through the loopholes of this system. If you cut production, you lose money in the long run until oil prices rise. Even if the oil price rises, if someone breaks the production cut quota, the loss can be as high as that.

This was a fatal blow for Middle Eastern countries, which lack other industries than oil. So even more so, the Soviet Union, which did not necessarily depend on oil, had to take the lead.

“It will be the most we can reduce. Right now, we don’t need much for domestic use, and our OPEC’s… I know that the ‘brothers’ want to develop the economy quickly. Don’t you guys need more money than we do?”

“Yeah, yes, but… .”

“Also, we will help you industrialize. If you send hundreds of bright students like Egypt here to study abroad, you’ll have something to bring with you. Or the Aswan Dam… A nuclear power plant or… Hmmm.”

The eyes of the heads of the countries were gleaming. If the conditions are this generous… .

They all seemed to be dreaming. One step at a time, your country has become much more prosperous. The imperialists brought them nothing but pestilence and exploitation. However, the Soviet Union said it would help industrialization at the cost of its own losses.

So who should you side with?

“good!”

“We agree, too.”

In the practical part, it is up to the practitioners to take care of reducing a few percent. Anyway, if the Soviet sovereign wealth fund had accumulated enough money, it could control OPEC and invest it in a detour to steal the funds accumulated by the Wall Street bullies on the New York Futures Exchange.

“very good.”

Literally, very satisfied. The real black hand that rules the world is in my hands.
