:12:01
But surely, your countrymen
are more than willing
:12:03
to make such a small
sacrifice to beat Russia.
:12:06
After all, she's been your enemy
as well as ours for a long...
:12:10
Oh, here they are.
:12:12
Sorry to have interrupted
your little business conversation.
:12:15
Not at all. It's the most pleasant
moment I've had since I arrived.
:12:19
Well, perhaps when you come
to Berlin again, we'll have another talk.
:12:23
Looking forward to it.
:12:28
Good evening.
:12:30
Sorry, Eric.
:12:34
She and her husband are...
:12:37
She gets around quite a bit.
:12:39
In Germany today, it's wise
to be nice to such a person.
:12:43
You never know into whose ear
she'll be whispering next.
:12:48
I'm sorry about your oil, Eric.
:12:51
Well, I know if there's
anything to be done, you'd do it.
:12:54
The shortages in the coming year
are going to be more acute
:12:57
than anyone
is willing to admit.
:12:59
I'm doing a survey now on
the possibility of building refineries
:13:03
in Italy and France.
:13:05
But the only trouble is, they'd
be more open to bombings
:13:08
and sabotage
than our own.
:13:09
Suddenly, a solution occurred
to me. The baron was interested.
:13:14
If they wanted
bombproof refineries,
:13:16
what about building
one in a neutral country?
:13:18
Sweden.
:13:20
The moment I got back to
Stockholm, I told the plan to Collins,
:13:23
who immediately
spotted the one big flaw.
:13:25
The Swedish government
would never approve.
:13:28
It would hardly be considered
a neutral act by the Allies.
:13:32
That's the weakness.
:13:34
And von Oldenbourg
pounced on it.
:13:38
Maybe you could arrange for the
Allies not to object too strenuously.
:13:43
How far do you think you could
nurse this along before it'd collapse?
:13:48
Oh, with discussion
of finance and construction,
:13:52
I'd say...
:13:55
...five or six more trips.
:13:57

officials here in Stockholm
