Chapter 769 1925
In addition to being the general manager of Yuriev Mining Company, Bobov is also the person in charge of Alpha in Australia.
The principle of business operations is actually the same as that of intelligence work, which is to look for the weaknesses of human nature. While Bobov was opening up territory for Yuriev Mining Company, Alpha's work was also progressing smoothly.
Alfa’s main job is to collect all information about Australia.
So Bobov established the "Australian Business Daily" in Pas, and openly solicited valuable news clues from the whole society.
This is also one of the important ways for the current news media to obtain news clues. Anyone can provide news clues to the newspaper by telegram or letter, and the newspaper will provide rewards to the whistleblower based on the importance of the news clue.
Public opinion supervision is called the "fourth right" in the United States, which means the fourth political right that is independent of the three major powers of executive, legislative, and judicial.
No matter what it is, as long as it is connected with politics, it will be endowed with special magic.
During the world wars, news media were strictly controlled in Europe, which ran counter to the independent spirit of the media industry.
Due to its particularity, the media industry can play the role of public opinion supervision.
But to achieve this, the media must be independent and free from censorship when reporting news events.
This is the true meaning of disci. Any report that involves the interests of one's own country must first be reviewed by the relevant departments.
But if it is against other countries, it must be detached and independent.
The information collected by "The Australian Business Daily" is summarized at Alpha's headquarters in Constantinople for further processing.
The information after this analysis and processing will become an important basis for Russia to formulate national strategies.
Zakharov's proposal is the first shot to subvert Britain's trade hegemony. If Russian goods can successfully enter the Australian market, it will play an important role in promoting Australia's independence from Britain.
The biggest good news at the end of the year is that through the efforts of the New Canal Company, the dredging work of the Suez Canal was completed one and a half years ahead of schedule, and the shipping capacity has been significantly improved compared to before.
Construction work on the second channel has also begun and is expected to be completed within three years.
Sergey, general manager of the New Canal Company, publicly stated at the canal opening ceremony: After the second channel is completed, the Suez Canal will completely get rid of capacity constraints.
Compared with the previous Suez Canal Company, the two major shareholders of the new canal company are the Dolgorukov family from Russia and the Rockefeller family from New York.
Like Rothschild who left sadly, London announced its withdrawal plan before the end of the year and decided to evacuate all British troops stationed in the canal zone within the next year.
When the news came out, the whole country of Egypt rejoiced.
Towards the end of the year, the Russian government work meetings came one after another. Most of the meetings that required the participation of the Ministry of Defense were attended by Deputy Minister Vasily on behalf of the Ministry of Defense.
George enjoys family happiness in Adrianople.
Polis’s second child was a son, and Anne named the child Nikita, which means victory.
Good things have been happening in Russia recently. George was in a very good mood and had a pleasant holiday in Adrianople.
On January 15th, just after the Russian New Year, news came from Dmitri that the relationship between the Kingdom of Hejaz and the Kingdom of Najd was becoming increasingly tense, and war was about to break out.
Hijaz and Najd were both established with the support of the United Kingdom. The British original intention was to use these two countries to divide and rule the Arabian Peninsula. Unexpectedly, the kings of these two countries were quite ambitious. They all regard the unification of the Arabian Peninsula as their ideal.
This is another manifestation of the weakness of British national power.
When Britain was at its peak, in tributary countries like Nejd and Hijaz, no matter how ambitious their kings were, they did not dare to disobey the British arrangements and had no choice but to be at the mercy of the British. Najd and Hijaz combined have a land area of more than 2 million square kilometers. Although the area is large, most of the territory is desert and the population is not large. The so-called armies of both countries only number less than 10,000 people. .
Felix did not take Dmitri's report to heart, because Najd and Hijaz contained nothing but sand and had no economic value at all.
George told Felix that the Persian Gulf is surrounded by the richest oil and natural gas resources in the world.
“How do you know?”
Felix was dubious.
Although oil has been discovered in Persia, Felix still couldn't believe that it was the "most" rich in the world.
Russia is currently the largest oil producer in the world.
“The reason why British and French explorers went to the Persian Gulf one after another was not to search for the so-called treasures of the Persian Empire and the Ottoman Empire, but to search for oil and natural gas.”
George 1 The words reveal secrets.
There have always been rumors in Britain and France that there are treasures from the Persian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and even pirates hidden on an island in the Persian Gulf.
These legends all talk about having noses and eyes, and even treasure maps.
"What is Dmitri doing? Why doesn't he act?"
Felix is deeply worried that if what George says is true, then Russian interests will be seriously affected Influence.
There is a joke in another time and space that if you buy an engine, you will get a car for free.
Russia and the United States have a tacit understanding of dumping cars into Europe at low prices or even cost prices. On the one hand, it is to open up the European market, and on the other hand, it is also to crack down on European car companies, buying fuel and delivering cars.
European countries are generally short of oil. With cars, they need to import a large amount of gasoline. When the number of cars in European countries increases to the same level as Russia and the United States, then Russia and the United States will complete their control of Europe through energy.
Britain and France both have a great influence on the Arabian Peninsula. If oil fields are discovered around the Persian Gulf, Britain and France will have a chance to get rid of the dilemma of oil shortage.
“That’s why I asked Dmitri to go to Persia.”
George was still very satisfied with Dmitri’s work.
Although the oil fields in Persia have resumed work, their output has never reached the peak of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company. The Russian-Persian Oil Company has now obtained the exclusive right to exploit oil and natural gas in the entire territory of Persia. George has given Demeter Li sent a telegram asking Dmitri to take over the work and return to Russia to make another appointment.
This is definitely going to be high.
Russian Deputy Envoy to the League of Nations, Mannerheim, has also returned to Alexandria to serve as Minister of Foreign Affairs.
George originally wanted to transfer little Nicholas back, so that little Nicholas could completely retire and take care of himself.
Little Nicholas believes that he is still young and can still work in the League of Nations for a few more years and continue to serve Russia.
Let’s not talk about service or not. The League of Nations is probably the only place in the world where you can curse Britain and France without taking responsibility.
