oil production was cut to zero.
“We’ve also discovered that he has instructed the US Navy to start development of small nuclear reactors for new warship construction so they can travel around the world many times without needing to be refueled. Our science branch estimates these new reactors will enable these new ships to operate for 25 years on a single core. These same small reactors will also be able to provide electrical power for the country, allowing America to shift away from using oil to generate electrical power.
“President Brownstone announced his goal to bring manufacturing and product creation jobs back to the USA. I suggest we contact Premier Xing to sound out his support. If Brownstone is successful in bringing home factories to the USA, China will be the single country the most hurt. A partnership between us and China will be very powerful, maybe powerful enough to force President Brownstone to slow down his programs.
“My friends, we also have to keep an eye on President Puten, by taking over Europe he has gained their offshore oil fields, he too is expanding their domestic production. We think that both Russia and America will be energy independent within two years. We have picked up rumors that both Russia and America are offering to supply China and Japan with all of the oil and gas they may require. My friends, Russia and America, are at the point where they have committed an act of war against us. We must act before it’s too late.”
The other members of OPEC agree with the statements of both the Venezuela minister and Saudi prince, however, they can’t agree on a focused course of action. The minister from Qatar stands to address the group, “My friends, we in Qatar also agree with the view Russia and America are on their way to not only cease buying our production, but to compete with us. Yes, we agree; our concern is what to do about it. Can any of us forget the reactions of both Russia and America if they are threatened? Can any of us forget how first Russia and then America spent years in Afghanistan? Can the minister from Iraq ever forget about the Americans crushing their country? We fear that anything we do to step on the American’s or Russian’s toes will see our skies filled with their guided bombs destroying our infrastructure. We are too small to survive if one or the other sends hundreds or thousands of their warplanes to attack us. They don’t even have to use a single manned airplane; they can send their damned cruise missiles and drones to kill us while we can do nothing. If the Americans complete their next generation of weapons, we may not even know we’re under attack until we pick our heads up from the rubble of our countries. Qatar agrees; something must be done. However, we’re not in agreement to directly or indirectly attacking either or both Russia or America. Supporting President Reid against President Brownstone is taking sides in their civil war which is a dangerous path for us to go down, even after the split of the country, the USA is too strong to fight. We do agree to approach Premier Xing to see if we can reach an agreement to sell China oil on a long term agreement. We’ll be in better shape to have a long-term sales agreement than have a future of certain economic collapse.”
The meeting delegates couldn’t agree on a path forward; they broke the meeting with an agreement to meet again in 60 days.
Prince Azaid decided to seek out the delegate from Venezuela; Azaid thought he might be able to get the Venezuelans to push a mass of illegal immigrants north into America putting pressure on their systems. Azaid also decided to fly to Los Angeles to meet with a few Hollywood producers; he decided to fund them to create anti-fracking movies quickly to sway the American’s minds. He laughed, knowing that in Hollywood money talked, the producers would sell their own daughters for a large enough bag of cash. He instructed his aide to prepare a large
