Unlike the previous verbal spree, Russia and Europe have now come to the brink of "energy breakdown". Russia's proactive reduction in energy supply has also made the EU EU countries realize the seriousness of the crisis, but most EU countries are just unwilling to restore the "energy breakdown". Just like Germany, it announced that it was "fully prepared" to deal with Russia's energy contingency. What is surprising is that Germany's "complete preparation" actually "sneak attack" on Russia.
Germany's Ministry of Economic Affairs announced that it has officially requested relevant departments to take action to fully "manage" the subsidiaries of Russia's two major energy giants in Germany, and at the same time take over the three major refineries under the names of the two major energy giants. Only in this way can Germany ensure that Germany will not face a full-scale fuel crisis and will not let Germany be subject to energy coercion like natural gas . In short, Germany describes itself as a "victim" who has to be forced to act out of self-preservation.
The German government's actions are not so much "take over" as "take over" it is to seize the German subsidiary of the Russian oil giant. Almost all of these refineries under the name of Russian giants are the main suppliers of German oil. Even one of the refineries accounts for 12% of the entire German refining capacity. There are also some old plants that have been established for decades, ensuring the stable supply of German oil.
Germany's control of these Russian refineries in Germany is a complete "seizing" behavior. Although the German government has not announced which company operates Russia's energy subsidiaries, Germany has proposed a preliminary "seizing" plan, not only completely "control" these Russian subsidiaries, but also "confiscated" its subsidiaries' assets.
and Germany's confiscation scope also includes fixed assets and oil of Russian subsidiaries. To put it bluntly, the German government's action this time was to "openly rob", which was to directly kill the chicken and get the eggs. Because Russia will definitely fight back against Germany and no longer transport oil to its subsidiaries controlled by Germany. As long as Russia voluntarily closes the Drugeba oil pipeline, even if Germany controls these Russian subsidiaries, it will not be able to continue to obtain Russian oil.
Just like Nord Stream 1 natural gas, Russia cut off supply. Since Germany supported the "Russia oil price limit" proposed by the United States at the G7 meeting, Russia has directly allowed the last 20% of the natural gas supply of Nord Stream 1 to completely disappear, and Germany has lost all Russian natural gas so far. This has made Germany a country directly become a major gas poverty-stricken household.
Then, Germany was in an unprecedented natural gas crisis, and residents were also protesting the government's inaction and pushing residents into dire straits. However, the German government does not think it is its own mistake, but Russia's "energy blackmail" operation.
Immediately afterwards, the German government announced a "full preparation" plan, pointing out that even without Russian natural gas, Germany would not be in a winter crisis. However, what no one thought was that Germany's "full preparation" actually made a war without pronouncement and directly "sneak attack" Russian energy companies in Germany. It has to be said that for the sake of energy, Germany has no longer been virtuous.
In fact, once Russia closes the branch pipeline of the "Drugeba" oil pipeline to Germany, this "sneak attack" operation will completely make Germany frustrated and say goodbye to Russian natural gas and oil in full.
And once such a situation occurs, German residents will inevitably launch unprecedented resistance, and even eventually turn into anti-government protests. Germany, which lacks substitutes for natural gas and oil, cannot resolve the protests of residents, which will inevitably make the civil crisis among Germany even worse. Therefore, Germany's current "sneak attack" on Russian companies is seeking death.
