Chapter 1,448 Omans Independence

"That would be interesting." John Hunter sneered, with an expression that showed he was not taking the trouble seriously, and then said, "Speaking of political issues, Secretary General Randolph's son, Winston Jr., is interested in a career in politics.

Development, now is a more suitable place for training, and he wants to go over the reconstruction of Bangladesh."

"Oh? The conditions in that place are difficult." Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows and said softly in a difficult tone, "We can conduct a step-by-step election in the country and rely on the influence of Prime Minister Churchill. Isn't it enough to be a backbencher? Go

What are you doing in such a difficult place?”

John Hunter shrugged his shoulders and said that it might be for better gold plating, so that he could finally be more confident during the election. This made it difficult for the supreme authority. It was not easy to kill everyone. After all, he was the leader of Britain in World War II.

Prime Minister, will you end up with no descendants? The main reason is that Vivien Leigh's son is still in Dhaka, and he doesn't want his son to do such a thing.

He quickly recalled the memories in his mind. It seemed that the Churchill family did not play a big role and it was not impossible to let him go. "Then let's try it. We can't stop it. Otherwise, Prime Minister Churchill's grandson may think that we look down on him."

he."

While a few people were chatting, Princess Margaret was in another corner with two guests. Two young men wore headscarves and were dressed in typical Arab attire. To be able to appear next to Her Majesty the Queen's sister, it was natural that she couldn't just take it easy.

One of them is the Crown Prince of Qatar, Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, who is about to graduate and return to China. According to rumors, the emir has prepared the rank of major general and is waiting for the crown prince's return.

The other one is King Qaboos bin Said of Oman who visited the United Kingdom. Before Qaboos bin Said, with the support of the United Kingdom, he launched a military coup to make his father abdicate the throne. As for his father, the former king

, just died of illness, and Qaboos came here to deal with the matter this time.

"How should we deal with this new king coming to ask the British army to leave Oman this time?" Burke Trend asked, "Should we agree, or should we try our best to fight for it?"

"This king is difficult to deal with, much more difficult to deal with than his father. In fact, we don't have many demands. The Musandam enclave is extremely important for the smooth navigation of the Persian Gulf. The British army can leave from anywhere, but not from Musandam.

Sandam retreats."

Alan Wilson smiled bitterly and said, "If it can't be done, we will pay the rent. If Oman wants to maintain its national dignity, then what's the difficulty? Everyone gets what they need. The local population is less than 5,000, and the British troops can still help development if they stay there."

The economy will not affect Oman itself."

When Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrived, Princess Margaret had already led two guests over. They immediately stopped the discussion and greeted Her Royal Highness the Princess, the King of Oman and the Crown Prince of Qatar.

"Your Highness the Princess!" Alan Wilson took the initiative to say hello, and then nodded at the two distinguished guests from the Middle East, "Look at our friend, she meets the standards of all the protagonists in Arabian Nights."

Alan Wilson's words won the favor of the two guests, and Princess Margaret smiled sweetly and asked, "What were you talking about just now?"

"President Nixon's trouble." John Hunter replied, "Maybe we are a little too concerned about American affairs, but it is indeed a big thing."

"It's nothing. Can't Britain care about the president of the United States? That is our close ally. I don't think this matter will end simply. It may bother Nixon for a long time." Alan Wilson opened his mouth to cover for his colleagues.

, why are you concerned about the affairs of foreign presidents? Is this abnormal?

The key people in a certain big country are most concerned about understanding Wang, and they believe that understanding king’s election was hacked. The key is that understanding king is too much like a normal person among a group of American politicians with super buffs.

When American politicians are talking about women's rights, sexual orientation, race, and caring for infidels, why don't you care about drugs, care about white Americans, build a wall, and other politicians fulfill their political promises? Figure 1

Happy, I understand that Wang is really delivering on it.

Looking at Sleepy Joe, who is currently one of the youngest senators, you don’t know what he is talking about, and you don’t know whether he means what he said, and you also don’t know whether he said it or not.

Of course, Alan Wilson did not forget the two distinguished guests, especially King Qaboos of Oman. After all, he came here to eat two fish and two, to collect the body of the old king who was forced to abdicate, and at the same time he came to discuss future relations with the United Kingdom. As for the Crown Prince of Qatar

, although in the current planning of the United Kingdom, Qatar and Bahrain have been promoted as part of the United Arab Emirates, but Qatar will definitely become a representative of the Middle East tycoons in the future.

Neither of these two people can be left in the cold. They must have a good relationship and have a basis for friendship. They both know Pamela Mountbatten, otherwise Princess Margaret will not receive her in person.

Alan Wilson expressed the hope that bilateral friendly relations would be maintained, and both of them nodded in approval, "The UK will definitely try its best to avoid the Yemen incident this time."

He was, of course, referring to the fact that after independence, Yemen became a republic and all the chiefs in the country had to leave their homes.

Although Alan Wilson hoped that this kind of scene would occur to remind the feudal lords in the Middle East, but now in front of the two guests, it was of course the result of the British mistake, and it had been looking for opportunities to make amends.

Yemen is not a small country in the political map of the Middle East, but a big country. You must know that the Yemen currently controlled by the Free Officers Organization is not the South Yemen in history, but the entire Yemen. A coastal country of more than 500,000 square kilometers.

The land area is roughly the same as that of mainland France.

I dare not say that the natural conditions can be compared with Egypt, which has the Nile Delta, and the Kingdom of Iraq, which has two river basins, but it is definitely far better than Saudi Arabia. Of course, excluding the oil factor, no one can compare with Saudi Arabia in this regard.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yemen’s basic conditions are definitely not bad among Arab countries. For example, Saudi Arabia is a complete empty shell. The one in the Middle East that can become a big country on its own terms is Iran.

.

It depends on whether Pahlavi can survive that hurdle, but Alan Wilson is more pessimistic. The larger the country, the more difficult it is to maintain the monarchy. Iran has a land area of ​​less than two million and is the most populous country in the Middle East.

With the same population as Egypt, it would be too difficult to maintain a monarchy.

The larger the land area, the more places there may be that cannot be taken care of. Egypt's population is very concentrated. As long as you live in a few cities, there is no mountain high and the emperor far away. Iran does not have this condition.

"I have something to talk to you about." While others were not paying attention, Princess Margaret looked like she wanted to ride on a rocket and whispered to her brother-in-law.

"What a formal occasion." Alan Wilson's face was normal, and he showed the majesty of a brother-in-law. He educated the royal princess, lowered his head and said solemnly, "I will see you tomorrow."

"The dishes this time are not bad, especially the fish soup is delicious." After confirming the business, Princess Margaret began to change the topic.

"I believe that any country famous for its food can do it. But from a health point of view, the best fish is fresh fish. The older the fish, the bigger the fish is, the less edible it is." Alan Wilson patiently said

Answer, this is the basic rule of eating aquatic products.

The older the fish, the more heavy metals they contain in their bodies. For example, the Asian carp that plagues the Great Lakes in the United States can easily weigh dozens of kilograms and is almost a different species compared to similar species in its place of origin.

Princess Margaret was in a good mood this time. The fish soup she drank was made from tilapia shipped from Lake Victoria in Africa, and the local high commissioner was in a hurry.

"Château Lafite is not as famous as meeting it." Princess Margaret was still thinking to herself, saying that French red wine is not more delicious than red wine from other countries.

"But Chateau Lafite is well-known, so we hope that this kind of thing can be enjoyed by the royal families of various countries." Unknowingly, Alan Wilson and his sister-in-law had left the sight of the two Middle Eastern guests, and he did not forget to look at it while talking.

I wonder what these two stupid people with a lot of money are doing.

The supreme authority resolutely defended the honor of the French brand, not because he attached great importance to this suspicious ally, but because Chateau Lafite has been occupied by Hedy Lamarr and Ingrid Bergman, two women with the same status as their wives.

The lady bought it, and he couldn't tolerate Lafite's reputation being damaged.

Of course Alan Wilson supports the actions of the two female presidents. After all, this thing is not like other industries, and the threat of nationalization of high-quality things is smaller. If it were other industries in France, he would really be afraid that France would watch the development.

Well, it was directly nationalized.

France and France are closely related to each other. In fact, the two disseminators of French culture can give it a try. After all, it is a country that can receive IQ taxes on handicraft products, so it should not be underestimated.

Two days later, the United Kingdom and Oman officially opened negotiations on the construction of a new relationship. King Qaboos bin Said of Oman and Foreign Minister Patrick discussed the economic development cooperation and sovereignty issues between the two countries.

Britain is determined to retain its military base in the Oman enclave, which has become a focus of confrontation between the two sides.

The Musandam enclave is separated by the United Arab Emirates, and there is nothing the UK can do if it wants to seize Oman. However, Alan Wilson did not use this to blackmail the King of Oman, but pointed out the enclaves within the enclave.

In the state of Madha, there is an area called Nakhwa, which belongs to the Emirate of Sharjah. In this way, the Madha state of Oman is surrounded by the United Arab Emirates, while the Nakhwa of the United Arab Emirates is surrounded by the Madha state of Oman.

surrounded.

If the UK does not want to leave, it can completely negotiate with the UAE to continue to maintain a military presence in this enclave without Oman's consent.

Now that we are discussing the issue of military presence with Oman, we are doing so with sincerity and finding a solution that is acceptable to both countries, which shows the UK's sincerity.

After consideration, King Qaboos bin Said of Oman no longer insists that all British troops must evacuate. Musandam is indeed separated by the Emirate of Sharjah and has no border with Oman. This enclave is indeed extremely important in terms of military value.

, can be exchanged for the British army to leave most of the land in Oman, so it cannot be considered a failure.

Then there is no problem. Alan Wilson reported the matter to the Prime Minister. Harold Wilson then signed a joint declaration between Britain and Afghanistan with Qaboos bin Said, and they will begin to withdraw British troops in Oman next year.

Move to the Musandam enclave and hand over other military bases to Oman.

This treaty clarified that Oman will no longer be a protectorate of the United Kingdom from now on. The two countries maintain equal relations and adopt a cooperative attitude on Middle East issues to safeguard each other's interests. In terms of economic and trade cooperation, Oman certainly also recognizes the value of the pound.

It is considered a necessary factor for Oman's economic development and economic cooperation will be carried out on this basis.
