During this meeting, Germany did not send an ambassador. Apparently Germany meant that Schulman could fully represent their opinions.
"It seems that Shulman's identity may be more than just the son of the prime minister."
Li Jin thought to himself.
This can be seen simply by looking at the difference between him and Harry. They are both sons of powerful families in their respective countries. Now Shulman can directly serve as the plenipotentiary representative, but Harry has to rely more on Irving.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that Harry is more of a mascot now.
Shulman's words fell, causing a buzzing sound.
The representatives who had been in good spirits just now also expressed their doubts after Schulman's speech.
"Yes, we didn't invite representatives from the United States to this meeting. Isn't it a bit too thoughtless? What if we discuss it here and the United States refuses to recognize it in the end?"
"Yes, did we go too far in rejecting the five major families before?"
"Mr. Owen, I think you really need to think about this situation."
Owen's face became ugly as he listened to these speeches.
He squinted his eyes and looked at Schulman, who was the first to attack.
Facing Irving's obviously unkind look, Schulman seemed to be there and didn't care at all.
While everyone was arguing, Li Songci whispered into Li Jin's ear:
"Aren't they together? Why do they seem to be having internal strife?"
Li Jin did smile and said:
"For them, whether they stand on the same front mainly depends on what their current goals are. Just now they rejected Rothschild as an ally, but now they are talking about interests, which is another matter."
"Deguo doesn't want Yingguo to be the only one, so he's creating problems for them."
Owen said solemnly:
"What the United States wants most is energy. As long as we don't touch their interests, there will be no problem."
"We can just block the energy-related peripheral industries. As long as we keep this area, I believe your interests can also be protected."
"Under this basic situation, the United States can make concessions on some oil field interests."
"After all, even if a war does break out, we are all allies of the United States after all. The United States will not take action against the industries under our protection, otherwise it will be equivalent to tearing up the alliance. Don't worry about this."
"After all, although our Eagle Country is not as good as the United States, in terms of national strength, it is not something that other small countries can match."
Schulman's expression changed when he heard this.
Owen almost named him.
Due to historical reasons, Deguo has not been able to develop its military power too much. Therefore, although its economy is stronger than that of Yingguo, its voice is still much weaker.
Therefore, Schulman was the most concerned about this trip to Iraq, and he also spared no effort in rejecting the Rothschild surname.
After all, as long as we can gain more say in energy, we can solve the country's current military dilemma to a certain extent.
Irving saw Schulman frustrated and smiled proudly.
As for why the United States was not invited to the meeting, he deliberately avoided it.
Because the answer is obvious. In front of these countries, Eagle Country can rest assured to grow bigger, but once the United States appears here, the dominance of the conference will definitely return to the United States.
However, no one noticed that from the beginning to the end, the representatives of the local forces in Iraq, headed by Solander, looked extremely ugly.
Although these forces were introduced on their own initiative to protect their own industries.
But just seeing foreign forces arbitrarily controlling their own assets makes them feel a little ashamed.
At this moment, a discordant voice sounded, and Owen's expression changed.
