Chapter 1214 Prime Minister of Canada

"Mr. Prime Minister, very welcome to the Soviet Union." In the Kremlin, Andrei looked at the tall and handsome Canadian Prime Minister, Martin Brian Mulroney, with a smile.

If Ukraine produces beautiful women, then Canada produces handsome men. Almost all of these descendants of Europe are handsome and unrestrained. Martin is now less than 50 years old, and he exudes the vitality of a middle-aged man.

Canadian Prime Minister! This was a historic breakthrough. After several invitations from the Soviet Embassy in Canada, the Canadian Prime Minister finally came to visit Moscow in person.

Martin was quite resistant to this visit. After all, he did not come here willingly. It could even be said that it was the Soviet troops in Alaska who held military exercises every day that forced him to come here.

The two parties shook hands together, and Andre, with a smile on his face, invited Martin to enter the hall and sit on the chair next to him.

"We, the Soviet Union, did not have frequent exchanges with Canada in the past, but in the future, we will vigorously develop our bilateral relations, especially since Canada is also a country with a large amount of oil reserves."

If you want to control a country, you must find its weak points! Canada has many weaknesses, such as its oil!

Canada is a very strange country. For example, Canada's oil reserves rank second in the world! However, it has never had any influence. Canada even needs to import refined oil from the United States. This is simply a peculiarity!

This is because Canada’s crude oil is not too scarce. Ninety-eight percent of their huge crude oil reserves are in the form of oil sands. The cost of mining this stuff is comparable to shale oil, at more than $30 per barrel!

Therefore, as soon as the international oil price falls, Canadian oil companies will start to lay off employees or even go bankrupt, and they will only start to make profits when the oil price rises.

What's more terrifying is that these oil sands are all in high latitudes and are very difficult to mine. In the Middle East, it is rare to hear of people dying from crude oil mining, but in Canada, oil companies have prepared some death funds! The climate here is quite harsh.

At the same time, there is also the issue of environmental protection. Canadians attach great importance to environmental protection. For oil sands, which require two barrels of water to extract one barrel of oil, this thing is too polluting to the environment! Therefore, people often hold parades or something like that.

Mining is already quite costly, and refining finished petroleum products is even more difficult. Almost all the oil sands mined by Canada are exported to the United States for refining, while Canada's own finished petroleum products need to be exported to the United States.

That's roughly the relationship.

It can be said that the lifeline of Canada's oil companies is in the hands of the Soviet Union. The oil-producing countries in the Middle East all listen to the Soviet Union. If the Soviet Union maliciously increases oil production, then all Canadian oil companies will surely go bankrupt!

"Yes, Marshal Andre, we must indeed strengthen our cooperation in the future." Martin said. He was threatened by the other party right away, and he was very angry. However, Martin had to endure it now, because he knew that if he didn't endure it, the other party might have more tricks.

Now, who dares to provoke the Soviet Union? Just look at the United States. The current domestic unrest in the United States is all caused by the Soviets! And if the Soviets want to attack Canada, it is simply too easy! Those troops in Alaska can rush to Canadian territory at any time!

Canada has the second largest land area in the world, second only to the Soviet Union, but its military strength is weak. The whole of Canada has only about 100,000 troops! Moreover, there are no advanced weapons. For example, the main army is just some Leopard 1 tanks!

It can be said that if the Soviet Union was angered, the Soviet army would be able to cross the entire Canadian territory and reach the capital Ottawa in half a month!

Canada has always played a supporting role in any international affairs and has been accustomed to acting under the halo of the United States. But now that the United States has suddenly fallen, Canada has become a local tycoon with only wealth but no bodyguards. Facing the hungry wolf-like Soviet Union, Canada is uneasy.

It can be said that even if the Soviet Union made any territorial demands and wanted to expand the area of ​​Alaska, Canada would have no choice but to cede land!

The strong prey on the weak, it's that simple!

"Yes, we should have strengthened our economic cooperation a long time ago." Andre said, "For a long time, due to geographical reasons, we didn't have much contact. Now, we have Alaska, and we can trade overland at any time. Our Soviet electronic products can be exported to Canada, and we can also import food from Canada. For both of us, this is mutually beneficial. Prime Minister Martin, how about Canada joining our CMEA?"

CMEA, damn, how can I jump into this pit! Martin was shocked in an instant.

The Council for Mutual Economic Assistance, or CMEA for short, is a political and economic cooperation organization established by the Soviet Union and composed of socialist countries. It is equivalent to the economic community of the socialist camp of the European Economic Community, with its headquarters in Moscow.

Although it looks beautiful, in fact, under the Soviet Union's division of labor, other countries mainly engaged in agriculture, while the Soviet Union mainly engaged in heavy industry. Moreover, the Soviet Union's planned economy had many loopholes, which led to this organization being unable to achieve the purpose of mutual assistance and cooperation.

For example, there are two versions. One is that the Soviet Union was fleecing the sheep and that CMEA was a way of exploiting other countries. The other is that these little brothers in CMEA were too bad and the Soviet Union had to continue to support them, which eventually dragged the Soviet Union down.

In short, you can't join this thing randomly. Even ceding a piece of land to the Soviet Union is better than joining this organization. Once you enter, you can't get out!

"Well, I think we should not be in a hurry. We should take it step by step. For example, we can lower tariffs on both sides first. What do you think?" Martin said cautiously.

Since he's here, there's room for negotiation! Martin can't be too servile.

"Okay, then let's lower the tariff to one tenth of the original amount, how about that?" said Andre.

The Soviet Union, with its large number of electronic products, is looking for new markets! Looking around, which capitalist country has not been conquered? Of course it is Canada! By lowering tariffs, a large number of Soviet electronic products can be dumped here, making a lot of money!

Joining CMEA is of course impossible. Now, Andre's goal is to get Canadians to lower tariffs!

"Okay, that's all for now. Next, let's talk about our military exchanges and cooperation!" Andre said, "We need to sign a military cooperation agreement. We have already drafted it. Take a look."
