Alan Wilson believes that it is extremely difficult for modern society to change the general trend of history. In fact, the changes he has brought about are not many. France's war this time can be said to be a landmark event.
Not only is Foreign Secretary Macmillan working hard for this, but US Secretary of State Dean Rusk also implicitly criticized France, believing that France's tough move to maintain Algerian rule has discredited the free world.
Of course, Alan Wilson disagreed with this statement, because the British colonies were not independent and clean. Every time Americans expressed their stance on colonial issues, they were suspected of criticizing others.
"Change, let's change." Alan Wilson is content with what he has come. This is like another problem. Everyone knows that money is a good thing, and everyone wants to have it, but some people have it and some don't.
In Paris, he watched Macmillan's efforts with a relaxed attitude. He also took the opportunity to visit his two daughters' schools. The two daughters were very cute and very popular. The reason for their popularity was naturally inherited from Ingrid Berg.
Man’s powerful genes.
After watching his two daughters from a distance for a while, Alan Wilson turned and left, because Macmillan's mediation had failed, and the two would return to London to discuss the next step.
"How about we threaten De Gaulle with a nuclear bomb?" Seeing the Foreign Secretary's frown and obviously unhappy mood, Alan Wilson joked. He could understand Macmillan's distress.
There is an Eden who serves as Prime Minister but is not interested in domestic affairs and specializes in formulating foreign policy. No foreign minister feels very good, especially since many diplomatic tasks are not going well. He takes the responsibility and Eden takes the credit. How can he be in a good mood?
That's weird.
"Alan, this joke is not funny." Macmillan was not in the mood to listen to jokes. If the only two powerful countries in the world were Britain and France, Britain could certainly force France to submit.
But Britain and France decided the direction of the world. It was a matter of the previous era. France really didn't listen to advice, and Britain really didn't have much to do. It really annoyed the French. If they surrendered to the Communist Party, the whole of Europe would become a vassal of the Soviet Union.
To say otherwise would be unfounded. Why can't Britain surrender? It's simply a fool's errand.
Returning to London, Macmillan went to No. 10 Downing Street. The only thing on Alan Wilson's plan list recently was to wait for the first batch of interns to arrive in the UK, as well as the immediate priorities, such as...
"Welcome the President of the Mountbatten Group and Her Royal Highness the Princess to loyal London!" At the exit of London International Airport, Alan Wilson bowed and saluted, paying tribute to the lady who was being escorted out.
Then he took a few steps forward and hugged his wife's body into his arms, sighing, "One day without seeing her is like three autumns apart. I really miss her."
"You know how to say nice things!" Pamela Mountbatten rolled her eyes at her husband and lowered her voice and said, "You didn't do anything bad, did you?"
"In this case, the most important thing in marriage is fidelity." Alan Wilson denied it.
"I have remained loyal, but I don't know if you have!" Pamela Mountbatten muttered softly.
"There is only one sun in my heart, Pamela." Alan Wilson swore that he would not recognize anyone but Pamela.
Seeing his wife who was like a migratory bird returning to its nest, Alan Wilson was extremely attentive and at the same time did not forget to express his gratitude, "The things in Iran are not over yet, I took the time to pick you up."
"On my way back, I have already talked with several protectorates with industries in the Middle East and the Kingdom of Iraq. In a few days, the Kingdom of Iraq will announce that the Mountbatten Group will give up its oil share allocation quota," Pamela Mountbatten said.
Behind her husband, she described what she had done on her return.
"Sooner or later, there is no need to feel sad about it." Alan Wilson comforted, "That is an unequal treaty. You and I both know in our hearts that it will be abolished sooner or later, especially with the attention of the United States and the Soviet Union."
"The key is that during the Iran crisis, if the Mountbatten Group does this, will it have a negative impact on the six-party talks? I am mainly worried about this." Pamela Mountbatten didn't know why her husband kept urging him.
Give up your oil share, especially at this time.
"The issue now is no longer about money, but about national dignity. We use this to show that the oil share is not out of the question. The question is whether the British Empire is still respected." Alan Wilson said calmly,
"That's fine. Traveling lightly can put more pressure on Pahlavi."
Even if Alan Wilson doesn't do this, the United States will do it immediately, abolishing Aramco's oil distribution share and placing it all under the control of Saudi Arabia. If the United States does this, it will be equivalent to including the United Kingdom.
So it is better to let the wife do it first, and this can be said to be the personal behavior of Mountbatten Oil Company.
Pamela Mountbatten did this, but did not ask other British oil companies to follow suit. We can slowly communicate whether other oil companies will follow suit.
The Iranian oil crisis is no longer a simple issue of oil distribution. The UK has squeezed Iran's oil exports out of the international community and used the few countries it can control to form a mini-OPEC to protect the UK and Europe.
Oil resources are stable.
The reason why it is biting Iran now and not letting go is entirely to show the British attitude. If someone does not carry out a nationalization and let the British bear the losses, the matter will be in vain. It is beyond the reach of the British to do this in Latin America, and the United States with the Monroe Doctrine turns a blind eye.
Close one's eyes, the UK is unwilling to take the lead, but in some hot spots, such as the Middle East, it will pay a price if it dares to do so.
"You are amazing, you are noble, and you use my company to pay for the country." Pamela Mountbatten looked at her husband in a bad mood and was moved by himself. Although he had said before that he could use refining instead of crude oil, who would think it was too much money?
"My dear, if Britain fails, who will defend your industry?" Alan Wilson asked with a smile, "Looking at your aggrieved look, people who don't know may think you have become proletarian. But that's okay.
Wrong, except for some iron ore, oil, food, water, electricity, and automobiles, you also meet the definition of the proletariat."
This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Alan Wilson thought of preparing some unique dining for his wife when she returned to China, and the place was set to be in Hoxon. Of course, the beloved Princess also
Don't skip it, otherwise my sister-in-law will be angry.
A banquet table was set up in the yard, filled with rich candies and snacks and gorgeous tableware.
The two ladies were well dressed and sat under a green leafy shed made of newly cut branches. The branches were elegantly tied with gold, silver and blue silk threads from one end to the other. Colorful fruits, including gold.
Artificial fruits made of silver and wax hung, or rather looked like beautiful eyes, among the green leaves of the sycamore and lime trees.
All this fully demonstrated how sincere Alan Wilson was, and Princess Margaret bowed with a very appropriate and deep respect, as if to thank her brother-in-law for his hospitality.
There is a dish, whether it is venison, rabbit, lamb or poultry, stuffed into the belly of the cow, it will be roasted very deliciously, not only retaining their original essence, but also absorbing the juice essence of the roasted beef.
"It's delicious. I wonder what it's called?" Margaret was very satisfied and asked her brother-in-law with a smile.
"There's no name for this." Alan Wilson couldn't help but smile. It looked like Fulu Banquet, but when he thought about the name, it was too unlucky. Britain is a monarchy, so he had better forget about naming it.
A long separation is better than a new marriage. Pamela Mountbatten and her husband are in different places. At this time, she is in urgent need of her husband's comfort. This makes the woman's temperament tend to be gentle. The path to the soul is open. Words are insignificant, actions are more important.
Be expressive.
Any action at this time will greatly soothe a woman's senses and make them docile and submissive.
As an Orientalist expert, it is normal to drink wolfberry, and it is also normal to take Liuwei Dihuang Pills when you have nothing to do. This all comes from the love for the traditional oriental culture, including but not limited to three wives and four concubines.
Regarding the announcement by the Kingdom of Iraq that it has signed a new oil agreement with the Mountbatten Group and recovered all its oil shares in the Mountbatten Oil Company, it marks that the Kingdom of Iraq's independent capabilities have reached a new stage.
Both the king and the regent expressed their joy at this victory. They considered it a staged victory, especially compared with Iran, which was squeezed out of the international oil supply system. Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and other protections also
The country also announced similar news.
While achieving initial victory, these countries also expressed their intention to maintain their traditional close relationship with the United Kingdom. They considered it an important force in the security of the Middle East.
"Permanent Secretary, this is an arms sales contract transferred from the Ministry of Defense." Wick brought over a dozen documents, all of which are weapons that the Ministry of Defense hopes to put on the counter, covering the army, navy and air force. Of course, Mountbatten most hopes that the sale will be successful.
Yes, it is also a naval weapon.
But it may not go so smoothly. For most countries in the world, army weapons are the most urgent. Tanks, armored vehicles, armed helicopters, and then air force fighter jets.
Advanced weapons can be given, but they cannot be allowed to form a system, so as to ensure that the initiative is still in the hands of the United Kingdom. Returning shares to these countries means that they must be exchanged for arms sales contracts, which is what I thought before.
"Ministry of Foreign Affairs!" Wick answered the phone, "Okay, I will convey it to Sir."
"What's going on?" Alan Wilson was reading the contents of the arms sales contract when he saw Wick leaving and returning.
"A ship has arrived at the port, and it's an intern from Malaya." Wick reported quickly, "How to respond."
"Let me go." Alan Wilson stood up directly, "Put away the documents of the Ministry of National Defense first, and I will look at them when I get back."
