When the empire's diplomats began to argue with the seven major powers, arguing over whether the more than a thousand armed escorts were legal and whether to withdraw the troops, the empire's intelligence department had already secretly contacted the opposition faction of the Republic of Ken.
In particular, there are several large tribes in the western region of the Republic of Ken. These large tribes all belong to the Lej people, and they are of a different ethnic group from the people of the Garfia ethnic group in the eastern region of the Kingdom of Ken.
Of course, I won’t forget to contact Lie Ji.
As soon as the opposition saw the Daheng people coming to their door and saying they were willing to help them gain independence and become a real country, how could they not be willing to do so?
Even though they clearly know that the Daheng Empire is using them, they don't mind!
Being able to be used by a world power like the Daheng Empire is also their value. What is even more tragic is that they have no use value and can only moldy and rot on their own in the end.
Given the current situation in the Republic of Keen, there is a strong internal conflict between the East and the West. In addition, there is also an overlord, the Garfia Empire, which usually adopts unfriendly and predatory policies. As a result, the Republic of Keen is already full of people.
Violent conflict.
This kind of contradiction only needs one spark to completely explode!
As a result, rumors soon began to spread in the Republic of Kean: that some capitulationists wanted to use the oil belonging to their Kean people to please those big countries!
The Ken oil field belongs to the Ken people. This is a gift from God to the Ken people. The only hope for the future rise of the Ken people must not fall into the hands of traitors and major empires.
After receiving feedback from the intelligence department that all operations went smoothly, Lin Ziran said: "In that case, let the mission proceed as planned. Tell the mission that even if the oil share is given up, it must still be fought for the empire.
To the greatest benefit!”
"The most important thing is the share of oil. The more we take, the less they get!"
"In addition, contact the Garfia Empire as much as possible and make sure they are consistent with us in terms of oil prices!"
The Daheng Empire's oil blockade strategy, in addition to controlling oil supply in the power sector, is also to maintain the oil price system.
Today's oil price on Blue Star is generally based on the price of the Luohai Oil Trading Market in the Daheng Empire. The price of crude oil in the Luohai Oil Trading Market is about eight yuan per barrel. This price has been maintained for more than ten years. Occasionally,
There are ups and downs, but basically it remains between seven constant dollars and ten constant dollars.
This price is actually relatively high compared to the price level of contemporary Blue Star.
The Daheng Empire has taken advantage of the high price of oil to earn huge profits. This profit is not only limited to the high price of crude oil itself, but also profits in the fields of oil processing and transportation.
After all, what the Daheng Empire sells is not crude oil, but refined oil. The refined oil must be based on the cost of crude oil, plus the necessary refining, transportation costs and profits.
The Daheng Empire has made a lot of money in the past ten years by relying on its monopoly of oil supply. The Daheng people themselves and even several other oil exporting countries in the world have also made a lot of money because of this. The Orr Kingdom has gained a lot of money every year because of its oil.
The benefits are numerous.
Even the Mongol Khanate makes a lot of money every year from oil exports.
But it is undeniable that the current price of oil is seriously artificially high. It is a price deliberately raised by the Daheng Empire. The cost of oil exploration and extraction itself is actually very low.
This means that if other countries produce oil on a large scale and compete with Daheng Oil, it will easily lower the price of oil. This is not what the Daheng Empire wants to see, and it is also not what the Carfiya Empire wants.
seen.
Although the Carfiya Empire gave up its complete control of the Ken Oil Field long ago and watched countries such as Daheng and Krul compete for oil shares, they did not say they did not want money!
When other countries come to exploit oil, they have to pay money. This is part of the direct profit, and another big part is the taxes related to the oil industry.
Just like Daheng people, the price of oil is expensive, but most of the cost is taxes, and then it is transferred to Daheng's finance, which does not mean that it stays with the oil company.
On the basis of high taxes, it is impossible for the empire's oil companies to lower crude oil prices.
The Daheng Empire took the lead, and other countries such as the Orr Kingdom and the Mongol Khanate also followed suit. The oil tax revenue was very high.
Nowadays, the Carfiya Empire will not give up this part of the money easily. This is not a small amount. If it is really done, with the oil storage capacity of the Ken Oilfield, after large-scale development, it can contribute at least hundreds of millions of dollars every year.
What about taxes?
Therefore, in terms of maintaining high oil prices, the Garfia Empire has a basis for cooperation with the Daheng Empire. As for whether other countries agree or not, nonsense, they definitely disagree. Whether it is the Kingdom of Krul or the Empire of Kekel, their representatives
At the meeting of ministers from the eight countries, strong protests were expressed over the issue of oil taxation.
However, the Minister of the Garfia Empire said that the Kean Republic sets oil tax rates based on international practice. What are you objecting to? Didn’t you see that the Daheng Empire agreed!
Although the other six countries expressed strong protest, they were also a little worried when they saw that the Carfiya Empire and the Daheng Empire were standing together on this issue and seemed to be conspiring to collude.
If the Carphians collude, they will be in big trouble.
After all, Gafiya is the landowner, and his territory is here, and everyone knows the barbarism of the Hengmanzi. Once they unite, unnecessary troubles will easily occur!
The Kingdom of Krul, Kokel and other countries turned around and thought about it. Well, let's not worry about the oil tax for now. First, extract the oil, divide the shares, and initially ensure the security of oil supply.
As for oil taxes!
Humph, at least it’s several hundred million dollars a year. Do you Carfians want to swallow it? It’s a beautiful idea!
As a result, during the day, various countries were discussing issues such as oil shares, and at night, diplomats from the other six countries turned around and began to secretly discuss how to let the people of Ken and gain independence and freedom.
As an independent country, the Republic of Ken has an empire of the Supreme Emperor Carphia above its head. It cannot have its own national defense or even finance. This is absolutely abnormal. This is an infringement on the people of Ken!
As the big country in charge of Blue Star, they have the responsibility and obligation to help the Ken area achieve complete independence and freedom. Well, they can exempt oil from personal tax as they please.
After they had the idea, they began to contact the opposition in Kenn, and by the way, there were also the Lieji people. Haven't they always wanted to regain the Kenn area? They can contact one or two this time, and we will see what happens then.
