"Mr. Molotov, why don't we be honest about our respective needs?"
Donnie seemed to speak with apparent ease.
"Venus Bank needs the Soviet market, especially the Soviet financial and energy markets. This can enhance Venus Bank's global influence.
Similarly, the Soviet Union needs Venus Bank's influence in Europe and America, and its financial resources, to help the Soviet Union economically surpass Europe and America."
Donnie's sudden frankness left Vyacheslav Molotov momentarily unsure of how to respond.
However, Vyacheslav Molotov, having weathered many storms, quickly composed himself, "Indeed, the reality is just as Your Majesty has stated!"
Donnie nodded, saying, "Everything the Soviet side is doing now, whether it's reclaiming the Baku Oil Field, letting Frigga Pharmaceuticals establish branches in the Soviet Union, or some previous actions by the Soviet Union, are all attempts to break free from dependence on Venus Bank!"
