British civil servant

The Tutankhamun-class submarine has a tonnage of 20 tons, which is considered a very advanced model among pre-war submarines.If you do some modifications, it will be fine for [-] years in service.

The important thing is that it is very suitable for a country like Portugal. Although the tonnage of the newly built submarine is larger, it does not meet the original intention of using good steel on the blade. The current construction cost is different from the original one, and the selling price is naturally different.

Now that the UK is building nuclear attack submarines, it is reasonable to sell some conventional submarines back.

"What is Pamela up to lately? Don't come to see Pamela!" Marshal Mountbatten hadn't seen his daughter for a long time, and now he asked his son-in-law who had just returned to China.

"She has a wide range of businesses, and she is really busy every day." Alan Wilson said embarrassingly, your daughter expects you to watch the children to reduce the burden.But the reason he said is also true. His wife does have a big business, and it takes a lot of time to read reports from various places every day.

Leaving Marshal Mountbatten's office, Alan Wilson thought, should he tell his wife about his father-in-law's thoughts?From the perspective of filial piety, this should be done, but there is no so-called filial piety in the UK. Specific things still need to be considered on a case-by-case basis. Sometimes a hasty decision will only get the opposite result. After comprehensive consideration, you should still try it out.

"Isn't it great where my daughter is, and I can still accompany my parents." Pamela Mountbatten listened to her husband's report, and smiled powerfully, "I also think about the lives of my parents. Some laughter."

"If you don't take into account the fact that your sister Patricia has four children, what you said is partly true." Alan Wilson commented on the father and son of the parents from an objective point of view, and then sent the fried eggs to To the mouth, well, not bad...

Pamela Mountbatten gave her husband a blank look, "Are you Patricia's husband? Or my husband, which side are you on?"

The Foreign Secretary, Harold Wilson, is finally returning to the loyal Foreign Office headquarters from his glorious tour of Egypt.

Alan Wilson was, of course, ready, prepared to boast about the Foreign Secretary's insignificant exploits, to walk into the Foreign Office and ask what was going on.

Facing the inquiry from his immediate superior, Dixon thought for a moment and said, "There is a piece of news from France that the de Gaulle government has established a new department."

"What's so ridiculous about this?" Alan Wilson didn't want to keep making comments, so he lit a cigarette.

"The name of this department is the French Overseas Assets Management Committee!" Dixon replied [-].

Cough cough... Alan Wilson felt that the smoke was a little bit uplifting, coughed and said, "I must express my strongest opposition with the strongest words from the beginning. Shameless, despicable, and shameful plagiarism."

Chapter 959 Brazilian Iron Mine

Alan Wilson once believed that only he had the need to learn from, and never thought that he himself would have a day to be learned from.When things came to an end, he had to admit that this feeling was really bad.

Even when the foreign minister saw the head of the civil servant of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he didn't know what happened to his partner?I thought it was some family conflict and wanted to start some persuasion.

"Alan, the world is changing a lot today, and we need to maintain a keen sense." Harold Wilson said earnestly, "We also have to consider the attitude of Egypt."

"Overall consideration should be made known to the public, otherwise some voters may misunderstand the policy." Alan Wilson replied calmly, "It goes without saying that Egypt's importance is not to be overstated, some diplomatic support and military support and the security of the Suez Canal In comparison, it doesn't hurt at all."

"That's right, I think so too." Harold Wilson said with a satisfied smile, "This is all for world peace. I heard that the Soviet Union is planning to visit China. What do you think of this issue?"

"Don't look at it very much, just wait and see." Alan Wilson responded with a smile. If he remembers correctly, this seems to be the beginning of a disagreement, but it may not be due to the original reason.

After all, the main port of the Soviet Pacific Fleet has been transferred to the outer port of Sapporo, the problem of the sea outlet has been solved, and the need for a combined fleet is not urgent.But he still believes a breakdown in the relationship is inevitable.

It is impossible for the relationship between countries to experience such big twists and turns because of one or two incidents. Simply put, China cannot accept the position given to it by the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union cannot give it a higher position.

There is a saying that we are not all right, and you are not all wrong, and this was also admitted by China in the later period.

Of course, from the perspective of the United Kingdom, this is a good thing. The technological strength of the Soviet Union is certainly not as good as that of the entire free world.

But it is not far behind, but there is a gap in the application.The two countries with huge populations in the world are both inclined to the Soviet Union, which is a huge threat to the free world. If one can be won, it is of course best for India to follow the Soviet Union.

Alan Wilson still believes that a powerful country can share part of the energy of the Soviet Union.

"Dear Minister, I have arranged a radio station for you to explain the blueprint for foreign policy." Alan Wilson smiled slightly, and it was time to praise the insignificant contributions of politicians.

Harold Wilson was really happy when he heard it, "Indeed, citizens must understand the government's policy, and it is best to use the radio station."

"Indeed, my minister." Alan Wilson nodded politely, "Then, let Dixon arrange this matter."

Alan Wilson, who is going to give the foreign minister a happy education, will see if Harold Wilson will stop for a while. If the effect is not good, there is another way.

Matters related to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs include immigration issues. When it comes to immigration issues, ordinary citizens don't need to think about their attitudes, they can guess.The core area of ​​British East Africa is Kennedy, and in addition to white immigrants, there are as many as 50 million Indian immigrants.

This is also normal. The traditional policy of the United Kingdom is to control other non-white immigrant colonies through India.So as long as the British colonies, there are more or less Indians, even in the protectorate of the Middle East.

As the core of British East Africa, Indians in Kenya account for about 5.00% of the total population.

Immigrants in European countries have their own origins, and German immigration originated from the labor force exported by Turkey after the war.France came from French Africa, while the source of British immigrants came from Kenyan Indians.

According to the current immigration law, there are loopholes in the British delineation of the colonies. Before and after Kenya’s independence, the Indians’ positioning was vague, which led to the emergence of homeless groups dominated by Indians. These Indians returned to India only A few, and some were accepted by the UK.

This is the source of British immigration, which led to Harold Wilson enacting an immigration bill that was stricter than that of the Conservative Party after he became prime minister for the first time in the original history to fill this loophole.

Now there are some differences in history, and at the same time these Indians, Alan Wilson has not yet considered how to use them.

There was a ready-made example in Northern Rhodesia before, stirring up ethnic conflicts and solving the problem once and for all.

Alan Wilson thinks this is a good way. If Kenya is the most important to be independent, take advantage of the trend to kill these Indians, and the former colonies of the province will use Indians to expand their influence.

This is not impossible. People at the bottom often have emotions that blood is thicker than water. Alan Wilson used the Chinese in Malaya to exert influence on the Chinese in Southeast Asia.

He can do this, and the Indian government can do the same. It is more reassuring to close this loophole.

This must be a difficult problem. If Egypt’s achievements are not satisfactory to the foreign minister and the so-called grand blueprint is still to be implemented, then he will put this difficult problem in front of Harold Wilson to see what he will do?

Harold Wilson was very happy to be interviewed by the radio station. Alan Wilson could think about it for a while, how to formulate the British foreign policy without being interfered by the foreign secretary.

For this reason, he didn't even think about it, the French shamefully plagiarized his proposal and set up a replica of his administration in France. After all, they were French and different from other countries.

"This year's colonial meeting will be held in Kuala Lumpur." Alan Wilson has already made up his mind. When necessary, let the current High Commissioner of Colonial Malaya feel his own existence, which is conducive to physical and mental health.

Don't you see Sir Barron in the past, very happy?Now that I have lived a comfortable retirement life, how nice it is.

"Nah..." When I got home, I saw Pamela Mountbatten dancing with her son in her arms.

Alan Wilson didn't expect this kind of scene. He froze for a while, wondering if his wife went to the mental hospital to express fraternity. After all, as a rich man, especially the richest man, he must show fraternity when necessary. A small group of ignorant mobs in the country all have a simple hatred of the rich.

But to put his son in such danger, that was intolerable.While thinking this way, Pamela Mountbatten came over with a smile on her face, welcoming her husband's return with a sweet kiss.

"What's the fun, don't fall on the child." Alan Wilson picked up the warm man set with a helpless face, and used his PUA skills to ask questions.

"A telegram came from Brazil, which is good news." Pamela Mountbatten put down the future heir of the Wilson family, and said happily, "We have found a mine that may be even bigger than the iron mine in Western Australia. iron ore. It’s all yours, my dear.”

"Oh, no accident." Alan Wilson took out Chang Gongcai again, but pretended to be inscrutable.

After all, in front of his wife, he is a professional geologist who is not born in the world. He just hides his achievements and fame and devotes himself to benefiting the society.

The richest woman in Britain also had to admit that he liked her husband's pretentiousness. He didn't know that the first geologist's personality was fake, and told the ins and outs of the matter like beans.

Soon the scene at home changed to the richest woman sitting on the lap of a civil servant, hooking her husband's neck, while the future heir of the Wilson family, who was still in his mother's warm embrace just now, was put on the sofa to cultivate his manliness.

Just as high-end ingredients are often cooked in the simplest way, the highest-quality iron ore on the earth is often considered extremely easy to find by good people afterwards.

The iron ore in Western Australia exists in the open air at all. The red iron ore stretches for hundreds of miles. It was not discovered before, but people did not expect it. Once someone noticed it, it was discovered.

The same is true for Brazilian iron mines. There is a world-leading geologist who provides professional advice, such as looking for tropical rainforests in Brazil, where there is not much vegetation.Exploration teams with this kind of guidance naturally found places that did not match the tropical rainforest vegetation.

The exploration team found a nearby bald red hill for exploration.This hill appears in the dense green forest, only some low and sparse shrubs, like a big bald head, which is particularly eye-catching.

After the geological team inspected it carefully, they found that the top of the mountain was bare because of the exposure of extremely rich and high-grade iron ore.Its iron content is as high as 60.00%. It is the richest iron deposit of exceptional quality on the earth.

The news was reported layer by layer to Pamela Mountbatten, which created the scene of the wife dancing after get off work today.

"This iron mine is bigger than the iron mine in Western Australia." Alan Wilson told his excited wife.

This is of course not true, but whether it is true or not depends on how it is publicized. Pamela Mountbatten smiled like a little fox, gently stroking her husband's cheek, "You want to plot against others again."

"The political situation in Latin America is unstable, as is the case in all countries. It was okay to say in the past, but now Britain does not have the intervention power it used to have." Alan Wilson said very sincerely, "Since the post-war period, foreign assets have been confiscated and nationalized in many regions. We cannot guarantee that Brazil will not do this. Therefore, from a macro perspective, we should try to introduce American capital, which is more secure.”

The exploration contract signed by the Mountbatten Group and the Brazilian government is very conscientious, even more conscientious than the contract signed with the Australian government, because of this factor.

Mountbatten Group holds 50.00% of Australia's contract, and only 40.00% of Brazil's contract. The difference is that Brazil does not look at the UK with a filter like Australia does with the UK.

9 Chapter [-] The OPEC Scenario

For Australia, Britain holds the Malayan colony and can exert influence.Moreover, the Asian market has always been the focus of the UK. The French colonial empire is based in Africa, while the British colonial empire is based in Asia.

The UK is willing to invest heavily in Asia, and Australia has a feeling that blood is thicker than water, making it possible for the iron mines in Western Australia to be controlled. However, the UK does not have a base like Malaya in Latin America that can exert influence on Brazil. .

If you think about it carefully, there are still some, such as the Falkland Islands, which is in dispute with Argentina, but the foundation of the Falkland Islands is not very good. Furthermore, if the United Kingdom militarizes the Falkland Islands, Argentina may not dare to attack the United Kingdom. up.

Alan Wilson also hopes that one day in the future, the Argentines will shake the prestige of the British Empire.

Brazil has no blood-thicker-water filter for the UK, and the UK does not have a reliable offshore balance base. If this iron mine is nationalized by a certain Brazilian government, the UK is really beyond reach.

Listening to her husband's explanation, Pamela Mountbatten also deeply agreed, "Try to sell our shares to the Americans?"

"You don't have to sell all of them. The main force behind U.S. Steel is Morgan." Alan Wilson said while thinking, "Why are they again? It reminds me of the bad past."

Naturally, the former assistant to the British Indian Commissioner remembered the old story about the Mysore iron mine being nationalized by New Delhi, which made Washington quite angry.Pamela Mountbatten covered her mouth and snickered, and she also remembered, "Will U.S. Steel, which has suffered a loss in India, be afraid to make a move?"

"I don't know, but probably not. Although Brazil is not inferior to India in terms of current national strength, it is in Eurasia with India. Dare to go too far, but in the Americas, the United States can handle these small partners."

Alan Wilson is not full of confidence, but in the end he chose to believe in the influence of the United States in his backyard.

He can feel the joy of his wife. The current United States has a great demand for iron ore because of Eisenhower's major construction.

Dajian obviously will not be terminated just because Eisenhower's term ends, and the good days of the raw material market are far from over.

Under such circumstances, the news of the Brazilian iron ore will definitely arouse the interest of American capital. You must know that this is a larger iron ore than the Australian iron ore, at least in public information.

When this good news comes, it is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. If it is handled well, the potential benefits are immeasurable.

"I'll talk to the Americans myself." Pamela Mountbatten hooked her husband's neck, whispering affectionately, "No amount of minerals is worth as much as my husband."

"You are the real priceless treasure." Alan Wilson kissed his wife's forehead and decided to take this opportunity to continue PUA.

It's a pity that the future heir, who was left out in the cold, roared unwillingly at this time, expressing his bloody and tearful complaints against his parents.It can only temporarily suspend the plan of the permanent deputy minister of the empire.The little ancestor is not happy, this is a big deal.

For the two, this matter is more important than the hundreds of millions of dollars in iron ore shares.

Sometimes no amount of power can solve everything, such as changing a son's diaper.Allen Wilson couldn't help sighing that ladies with the same status as their wives may have sacrificed a lot when raising their children. He is grateful...

"Let the people of Northern Rhodesia go with you. Those Slavs can still be trusted in the security field." Alan Wilson told his wife that the current economic support of Northern Rhodesia is mainly based on mining and agriculture. Which one it is is related to the industry of the Mountbatten Group.

"In my opinion, we should consider marrying the child to a local woman in the future, so as to maintain the relationship with the local upper class in North Rhodesia." Alan Wilson even put his mind on his son who still wets the bed from time to time, as a male , You should consider moving forward with a load at a young age.

"That won't work. I'll find him a noble lady." Pamela Mountbatten shook her head, feeling that her consideration was more comprehensive.

"When he grows up, see whose side he is on." Alan Wilson ended the debate on the marriage of the future heir, and hoped for the wisdom of future generations.He is full of confidence in this, and feels that his view will surely win.

It's very simple, because the son is the same gender as him, and in the future he will inevitably pursue fair skin, beauty and long legs, rather than ladylike demeanor or noble status, which is not a must for men at all.

During the broadcast, an interview with Harold Wilson was being played. The foreign minister talked about the earth-shaking changes in Egypt, and was guided to praise King Farouk I of Egypt.

"It must be admitted that there seem to be many misunderstandings about the rumors about the Egyptian king. In my opinion, Farouk I is a very powerful leader. A century-old project like the Aswan Dam will play a big role in Egypt. Great development."

"Minister Harold, some people think that the problem of the British garrison in Egypt is a residual influence from the colonial era. What do you think?"

"People who spread such remarks seem to have misunderstood the UK. The UK is very willing to help Egypt complete its modernization, but nothing comes in vain. In business, we must find a win-win entry point. The income from the Suez Canal is beneficial to Egypt. Development has a great role in promoting, and it is also the guarantee for the smooth start of the Aswan Dam. In principle, we believe that when the Aswan Dam is completed, the British troops in the Suez Canal will withdraw. His Majesty Farouk I and I talked about it."

"We all agree that the Suez Canal will be gradually handed over to Egypt for convenience, and a verbal agreement has been reached. The size of the British troops stationed in the canal will be reduced, and control of the canal will be gradually handed over to Egypt in the future."

Listening to Harold Wilson's voice on the radio, Alan Wilson put his arms around his wife's delicate body and commented, "Look, how well you said it. You have already talked about part of the essence of diplomatic work."

"It's better for you to guide." Pamela Mountbatten smiled lightly, coupled with a look of admiration, which can make her man feel quite fulfilled.

"As long as there are no problems in Egypt, our connection with the colonies will not be interrupted. Malaya will be a production base, the Middle East will supply energy, and the mainland will be a high-end and financial center. Of course, we can also promote each other with France."

Alan Wilson thought hard, "I seem to have forgotten something. I was still thinking about it when I was a commissioner in the colony, but why did I forget it after I came back?"

"You just said, production base and energy." Pamela Mountbatten reminded cautiously.

"Yes, I remembered." Alan Wilson kissed his wife as a reward, "When I was in the colony, I couldn't play a role in this matter, but now that I am the executive deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I can try to push forward gone."

"Huh?" Pamela Mountbatten was also very curious. After asking, she found out that the advancement her husband was talking about was something called the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries.

OPEC, the well-known benchmark of the cartel monopoly.This can also be linked with the Asia-Pacific oil refining center in Singapore. If it is promoted at the same time, it can also benefit the Malaya colonies. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

In the current era, oil is not tied to the dollar, under the gold standard currency value system.The currency of any country can be used to buy oil. Of course, Alan Wilson does not deny that the US dollar accounted for a large part of the oil in the Middle East.

The era of petrodollars began in [-] when Saudi Arabia officially announced that it would only accept dollars to buy oil.In the end, it was extended to OPEC members, shaping the even more terrifying petrodollar hegemony.

Although the Breston Woods system has stabilized the financial hegemony of the United States, it actually has a great check and balance effect on the United States.After de Gaulle came to power, he launched a violent attack on the gold reserves of the United States.

Alan Wilson still needs to find a suitable opportunity to discuss this matter with the Foreign Secretary.As an official, he can't do whatever he wants, and he also wants to incorporate the Maldives into the Malaya colony.

Distance is not a problem. Christmas Island, which is also managed by Malaya, is also quite far away from the Malayan colonies, and even closer to Australia.The problem is that there is no need to offend India on the issue of the Maldives.

If India can't stand its ambitions for Goa, then it can do so reasonably and legally.

Even if it is unsuccessful, incorporating Maldives into Ceylon can disgust the Indians. Ceylon also has a military base of the British Royal Navy, which is more reliable than independent India.

Of course, Britain has the right to do anything to the non-independent Maldives. Don't think that it has to be close to India if it is close to India.

We must know that the scope of British India's management was quite large, but it was not limited to the South Asian subcontinent and Aden in the Middle East.Singapore, Penang and Malacca in Southeast Asia were once part of British India.

The foreign minister who received the interview was in a good mood because he had already received feedback that the interview was satisfactory to the voters. Most importantly, Prime Minister Attlee also spoke highly of this visit.

Alan Wilson also offered compliments, praising the foreign secretary for his astuteness and pragmatism, "especially in the colonial part."

"Alan, I know you used to be the commissioner of the colony." Harold Wilson shook his head and said, "You are a hardliner for the colony, and I believe my judgment is correct."
