Nigh immediately upon learning of the Oil Deposits in the Region of Arajzhat, the Konsul himself ventured down into Arajzhat to meet with Alfa Nabiyev in person, for a private meeting. The exact details of this meeting are unknown, as only Alexei and Alfa were present. Metagame thingy (Realistically noone would know about this stuff but @riordanPercyjackson so please be good rpers and don't metagame this ourtgh) The Konsul and Alfa's meeting was directly about foreign influence, and how the oil needed to be hoarded amongst Unionist nations, to form a mass Unionist Oil Stockpile, to allow Unionist Nations to develop rapidly, and gain access to quite the economic boom very early on, which could prove beneficial to Unionists Globally. Kriekstovosk has offered to station Gold Army Reserves around Arajzhat Oil Dig Sites. The Konsul has expressly advised Alfa not to make any deals with Non-Unionist nations, as this could lead to their opportunity for a Unionist Oil Stockpile being robbed out from under them by Imperialist Powers. How Arajzhat takes this advice, to benefit Unionism world-wide is still in the air. We can only hope for the best.
The Konsul Provides. For the People, For the State!
