Chapter 1202 Shale oil mining?

The Franco-German alliance has formed the main force of European integration, and China is naturally happy to see it happen.

There is nothing wrong with European integration, which can further strengthen the multipolarization of the world.

When Germany normalized, Britain and the United States withdrew their troops and returned their military bases, China played the role of a peacemaker and helped a lot.

And European integration is exactly what Americans don't want to see the most.

The core interests of Americans overseas are not in Japan, South Korea, Australia, or Africa, but in Europe!

The Americans control Europe, which can be roughly summarized into four aspects. On the one hand, Americans use the influence of NATO to have a large number of military bases in Europe and have troops stationed in most European countries, which not only provides security for these countries, but also weakens their military strength and military industry. Look at the whole of Europe now. Except for France, which other countries have independent national defense and independent military industry?

It is Germany, which still has a long way to go in this regard.

On the one hand, Americans have strong political and economic influence in Europe. This influence is the result of long-term cultivation after World War II. Many European companies are owned by Americans, and there are politicians supported by Americans, whose wives and children are even in the United States. These people are all spokespersons for American interests. With these people, Europe cannot be a monolithic entity, nor can it have only one voice.

On the other hand, it is the United States' ally Britain. Britain is clinging to the United States, and the United States is also relying on Britain's influence. The two sides have formed a conjugate father-son relationship. Britain has always played the role of a troublemaker in Europe, disrupting Europe.

On the other hand, it is Russia. In recent years, the United States has hyped up the Russian threat theory, on the one hand, exaggerating Russia's strong strength, and on the other hand, exaggerating that Russia may reproduce the Soviet Union's splendor. If the Soviet Union's 1981 military exercise is not hyped three or five times in Europe in a year, it is not an American. In this way, intimidate Europe.

What the Americans are trying their best to prevent is naturally to destroy as much as possible.

So the strategy in Europe is to strengthen cooperation and exchanges between the two sides, promote European integration as much as possible, strengthen cooperation with the Franco-German alliance, and strengthen ties with European countries, open the China-Europe Express, and make it the "Silk Road" of the 21st century.

And it is to promote the "China-Russia-Europe Meeting" and provide a three-party exchange platform to coordinate the interests and conflicts of the three parties.

The three parties naturally have common interests and conflicts. In this regard, "seeking common ground while reserving differences" and "cooperation for win-win results" are naturally China's forte.

Sometimes, it is not easy to reconcile the conflicts between two parties, but it is easier to reconcile the conflicts between three parties. Maybe the plan will not satisfy all three parties, but it can be accepted by all three parties.

In addition, it is to let Europe take a step forward in military integration. The current Franco-German rapid reaction force is not enough for only France and Germany.

In the courtyard, Liu Tao is making tea alone.

He actually considered using shale oil technology to mine shale oil and shale gas to solve the difficulties China faces in energy.

But he gave up later.

It's not that shale oil mining technology is difficult, but once it is done, China can turn from a net oil importer to a net oil exporter in less than ten years.

This will turn China from a friend to a competitor with the oil-producing countries in the Middle East and even with the oil-producing countries in the world.

China is the largest buyer of most oil-producing countries in the world.

If China does not import oil, but exports it, who will these oil-producing countries sell their oil and natural gas to?

The reason why the relationship between the United States and Saudi Arabia and other countries deteriorated in the last life was because the United States continued to increase its oil production through shale oil mining technology, thus changing from a net importer to a net exporter in the world, and becoming a competitor with Saudi Arabia and other countries.

Now that the world is in a period of change, China needs to unite most countries, make enemies as few as possible, and make friends as many as possible.

There is no need to give up long-term interests for temporary interests.

And this also involves the internationalization strategy of the RMB.

By continuously increasing the proportion of RMB settlement through trade with these countries, the ability of Americans to suck blood from the world through financial means is weakened.

And this strategy is obviously effective.

So far, fewer and fewer countries have gone bankrupt because they cannot repay US debts, and their high-quality assets will not be easily harvested by Americans.

This also makes it increasingly difficult for Americans to harvest and suck blood from the world, and most US debts are purchased internally in the United States, and it is more difficult for US inflation to be transferred to other countries.

A country like the United States cannot fall apart all at once.

When that day comes, it will be a long-term effort, and quantitative change will lead to qualitative change, which is the result rather than the process.

January 10th, the first day of the twelfth lunar month.

The sun is shining, the sea is blue, and the weather is very good.

Qiongdao Sanya Military Port.

Today, the red flags are flying here, and the colorful flags are fluttering, which looks very festive.

CCTV and Xiangjiang Satellite TV are broadcasting the whole process live.

On the military port dock, more than 3,000 Saudi naval officers and soldiers are lined up in an orderly manner, motionless.

If it weren't for the uniforms and skin color of the troops, they would really be mistaken for Chinese naval officers and soldiers.

These Saudi naval officers and soldiers have received two years of military training in China and can drive the Type 001 light aircraft carrier, as well as the Type 054 frigate, the Type 052 destroyer, the Type 039 submarine and other warships!

There are a large number of warships docked in the Sanya military port, and the most conspicuous ones are the two Type 001 light aircraft carriers!

After all, although the Type 001 aircraft carrier is only a light aircraft carrier, 20,000 tons, it is still much larger than the Type 052 destroyer. The only ones that can compare with it are the two comprehensive supply ships.

The Saudi Crown Prince and Prince Bandar and others, with joy on their faces, are whispering with the commander of the Saudi Navy.

On the background wall of the temporary stage, it is written: "Saudi Navy Type 001 Aircraft Carrier Delivery Ceremony".

This time, it is the delivery ceremony of the two light aircraft carriers ordered by Saudi Arabia, and both sides give high-standard treatment at the delivery ceremony.

After all, this symbolizes the friendship between the two sides.

Even Liu Tao personally attended the delivery ceremony.

The delivery ceremony looks sacred and grand.

At 12 o'clock, the delivery ceremony officially ended. Saudi naval officers and soldiers boarded the warship, then blew the whistle and drove the warship away from the military port.

On the Chinese side, Liu Tao and others waved goodbye to the departing Saudi naval fleet.

Everything seemed very friendly and harmonious.

Not far away, China's first aircraft carrier fleet joined the Saudi naval fleet and set off for the Middle East together.

This time, China's first aircraft carrier fleet will perform escort missions, fight pirates along the route, and maintain navigation safety. (End of this chapter)
