In order to stall for enough time during the negotiations, the Representative of Britain sought out the Australasian representative and put forth his conditions.
That very night, in the room of the Australasian representative, the British envoy spoke with utmost sincerity, "Mr. Jay, we are willing to divide the petroleum resources in the Northern Chaco region with your nation and allow your country to have the same interests and privileges in Paraguay as we do.
Provided you agree to support Paraguay in tomorrow's negotiations, we are willing to persuade Paraguay to agree to the above demands."
Honestly, the allure of Northern Chaco's petroleum for Australasia wasn't that great.
Possessing half of the Persian Gulf's petroleum, Australasia was already on par with any country in terms of petroleum.
Moreover, the Australian Region, Southeast Asia, and Alaska all had vast petroleum reserves, and they were areas completely under Australasia's control.
