A huge stone fell in his heart, but Alan Wilson could not leave immediately. It was not just a matter of several protectorates around the Persian Gulf forming the United Arab Emirates. This matter naturally had to be handled by his old boss Sir Barron.
If he comes to the Persian Gulf on diplomatic responsibilities and does not regard himself as an outsider, it will not be conducive to unity with the civil service community.
These pocket emirates cannot change the world. They can wait for Sir Barron to come up with a mature and constructive plan and plan slowly and carefully for ten or eight years.
The merger can be planned slowly first, and the project can be started first. It happens that the oil and gas resources of these pocket countries have not yet been discovered, and it is more conducive for the UK to advance related plans at this time.
He believes that the air transfer port plan is a very attractive solution for these emirates that did not have oil and gas resources in 1952. Neither Qatar nor Bahrain will be dead on the banknotes of later generations.
It seems that Britain needs to be rescued.
Alan Wilson was not prepared to interfere, but brought Sir Barron to a discussion on the issue while also looking after the pride of the emirates.
Having said that, this is the reason why Alan Wilson did not leave immediately. He is waiting to see how Mossadegh will package this negotiation after returning to the country and whether he can give an explanation to Iran's supporters.
"These emirates are small in size and have insufficient self-defense capabilities. No oil and gas resources have been discovered yet. So we say that given their land area, there is little chance of discovering huge oil and gas reserves. Is this reasonable?"
"Of course we will still have to conduct exploration in the future, but it is a fact that these emirates have no resources now." Alan Wilson looked at his old boss, just as he did in British India, working as an assistant to the commissioner to provide advice.
Seeing that Alan Wilson was still as humble as he was in New Delhi, Sir Barron felt like a mirror, "If the oil and gas resources in these emirates exist, I believe that several emirs would very much hope that the rapidly developing Mountbatten
Oil and gas companies, bring them long-lasting good fortune."
"Dear Sir, it depends on what you said. Of course we all hope that this kind of luck can be maintained. But Pamela may be spoiled!" Alan Wilson lowered his head slightly and said nonchalantly, "Of course this is beneficial to
The country is also beneficial to Whitehall. In fact, how can the process of exploration work not be taken care of by you? You know this place so well, I see that you must have a place as the vice president of the oil and gas company."
"Very good!" Sir Barron squinted his eyes and said understandingly, "This is all for the civilization and order of the British Empire."
"It is also for the well-being of the local Arabs." Alan Wilson didn't know when he had taken out a bottle of whiskey and started to fill it up for Sir Barron.
"Oh, by the way, I heard that domestic citizens are most concerned about the Helsinki Olympics that are about to start, not your negotiations. I heard... it seems that some citizens are dissatisfied with the composition of the British delegation?"
Sir Barron, who was holding the wine glass, took a sip and looked directly at Alan Wilson, as if he was targeting a criminal suspect.
"Dear Sir, this is the cheapest way to test local citizens." Alan Wilson smiled slightly, and did not hide any details, telling all his thoughts except the Commonwealth lottery plan.
The two then talked about the war that was still dragging on. Sir Barron knew that Alan Wilson was working as a commissioner in Asia. Moreover, the Chinese were the majority ethnic group in the jurisdiction, so he asked for his opinion on this matter.
"Americans are too single-minded, and we cannot be like them. If I formulate foreign policy, the core of my basic job is to spend 80% of the time standing with the United States, and the remaining 20%
Time has ruined 80% of the previous results!"
Alan Wilson chuckled, not hiding his contempt for the United States at all. His views on the United States are consistent, although in the eyes of many people, such as McCarthy, Alan Wilson is a walking example of the special relationship between Britain and the United States.
But he knows very well that Britain's fate must not be tied to the United States, just like the disintegration of the Soviet Union, which smashed a bunch of Eastern European socialist countries to death. Once the bond is too deep, the United States may lead Britain into a ditch.
Take the United States in the 21st century as an example. All countries except the United States know that the United States does not have the strength to resist China and Russia at the same time. However, the President of the United States does not think so. It is better not to talk to Russia once.
Ultimately, anti-Russianism is a sunset industry in the United States that is too big to fail. The human relations, capital flows, and political structures involved are so huge that even the smallest interference to this industry will
They all take huge political risks. Just look at how long the President of the United States has been tortured by collusion with Russia.
The United States is so convinced that it can replicate the disintegration of the Soviet Union and allow Russia to disintegrate once more if it only works harder. The United States is unable to extricate itself from the delusion. Not to mention being reminded by its enemies, even its allies are calling
Don't wake up from this delusion.
Believing that the United States can defeat Russia again is not a political viewpoint in the United States, but a form of political correctness. The entire American political circle is chanting sutras, even if they don't speak loudly, let alone not reciting them at all.
Therefore, when talking to Russia, the United States can come up with incredible conditions, saying that as long as Russia does not cause trouble at this time, the United States can recognize Russia's legitimacy.
This is equivalent to the United States saying that I will deal with China now, and Russia will not come out to cause trouble, and I will let you live a few more years. It seems that if Russia does not agree, its existence as a country will be questioned.
Although the United States is a bit rough in doing things, it can be seen that it is preparing to shrink, just like the current post-war Britain, but the United States is obviously still going from one victory to another.
Therefore, it is not understandable for the United States to start another war after one war. The Americans accepted world hegemony without paying any war price, so naturally they do not know how high the sky is and how high it is.
The emir meeting invited by Sir Barron was held in Doha. At the invitation of his old boss, Alan Wilson was an observer. On the one hand, he also wanted to form a good relationship with these people who were destined to sleep on banknotes in the future.
Emirs wearing headscarves will have to work overtime until two in the afternoon, and they deserve the courtesy of Alan Wilson.
The protagonist is Sir Barron, the commissioner of the Persian Gulf, and Alan Wilson is just a companion. Looking at the public opinion feedback in Iran after Mossadegh returned to the country, do you think Mossadegh was not afraid of power and resolutely safeguarded Iran's interests? Or do you think Mossadegh lost power and humiliated the country? .
"The Prime Minister has fought for a 50-50 oil profit sharing agreement between Britain and Iran, which was also the original intention of the earlier Prime Minister."
"The British gave in under pressure from Prime Minister Mossadegh and said they would make the accounts of the Anglo-Indian Oil Company transparent."
"In the international situation, there is nothing wrong with defending Iran's interests, but we must also pay attention to methods. The British representative at the meeting was impressed by the prime minister's mature statesmanship."
"When was I convinced?" Alan Wilson turned a deaf ear to the exchanges between Sir Barron and several emirs. Through influential newspapers in Iran, we can judge the mainstream opinions in Iran after the talks.
Some praised Mossadegh for defending national interests, some reported transparent accounts, and some praised Mossadegh's mature diplomatic skills. In the final analysis, Iran has won. If this public opinion is true, at least in the short term, Alan Wilson will not have to Worried about a thunderstorm in Iran.
For Britain, where everything should be stable today, delaying time is a great victory. If it had been before, he might have been worried that the conservative forces in the country would accuse him of making too many concessions.
I’m not too worried now. Didn’t you hear what Sir Barron said? Local citizens are obviously more concerned about the fact that there are so many black athletes in the British delegation at the Helsinki Olympics.
This is normal. If Alan Wilson were an ordinary person, he would be more concerned about this matter than the oil negotiations. This is all human nature. The government is concerned about the oil negotiations, but has no memory points. There is obviously no racial issue to attract people's attention.
"Dear Emirs, this is the plan for the aviation transfer station. What I hope is that everyone can make good use of your special geographical conditions in the middle of Eurasia." Sir Barron said this and drew attention to reading the newspaper. Alan Wilson said, "The promotion of this project will receive the full help of the British Empire. Raw materials will be provided by Africa, industrial production capacity will be helped by Malaya, and manpower will be communicated with London. Of course, we support Dear emirs, you can adopt a diversified development strategy. After all, your combined territories cannot be compared with Saudi Arabia and Iran. Isn't that right, Allen?"
"Yes, Dear Sir Barron." Alan Wilson put down the newspaper and continued following Sir Barron's thoughts, "The huge flow of people brought by the air transfer station will promote everyone's prosperity. Of course we don't mean that. Rather than giving up on oil and gas exploration, if a two-pronged approach can be taken, it will be of huge benefit to both the UK and the Emirs. This is a win-win strategy."
Whitehall has already drawn up a plan and is waiting to be implemented, so today's communication will not be difficult for Sir Barron and Alan Wilson.
Bahrain, Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Dubai, Ras Al Khaimah, Ajman, Fujairah, and Umm Al Quwain have all approved this plan, and Sir Barron represents the United Kingdom in aviation. After signing the transfer station plan, the location is set to be Dubai.
At this point, knowing that Mossadegh had not encountered any trouble after returning to China, Alan Wilson could ignore things here for the time being. He sent a telegram to Paris and asked his wife to send him a transfer to take him to Cyprus and meet him, who had been promoted to Commander-in-Chief of the Mediterranean Fleet.
My father-in-law, I am concerned about the country and the people.
