British civil servant

Alan Wilson knew that the only difficult thing to deal with was Iraq, what Kuwait and Qatar had no resistance in front of the United Kingdom.Once you get Iraq done, you can get things settled.

Historically, the United Kingdom lost control of Iraq, which is the same as the United States lost control of Iran, because of the Iraqi revolution.

When the Soviet Union was the most powerful in the Middle East, the main Arab countries excluded Saudi Arabia, which could not be fought.

The others were either pro-Soviet states or neutral states.After the Iraqi revolution, it was considered neutral and pro-Soviet, not as obvious as Syria and Egypt. Saddam had only visited the Soviet Union in his life.

Faced with the request for a private talk, Princess Badia, who handed over the home court to the men, accepted Alan Wilson's invitation.

"Mr. Wilson, although we have a good relationship with the Mountbatten Petroleum Company, we need to think more about turning against neighboring countries." Since Princess Badia came to Basra, she naturally knows what the purpose of the United Kingdom is.

"That's right." Alan Wilson calmly looked away from the leaf-chewing guard.

Khat?It has the same effect as drugs. He had seen locals in Aden look like walking corpses.I didn't expect to see him on such a solemn occasion. Could this be Princess Badia's lover?

"Mr. Wilson, you don't seem to be as sharp as before." Princess Badia interrupted Alan Wilson's thoughts.

She didn't know that the mind of the man in front of her jumped to drugs, wondering if this stuff was rampant in the Arab region.It may be that the genes in the bones are at work.

"Oh, Your Royal Highness, I'm sorry I was thinking about how to answer your words just now." Alan Wilson shook off his chaotic thoughts. The Arabs have two other enemies, the Jews and the Persians, and the Persians and the Arabs have been neighbors for 1000 years."

"Yes, we are good neighbors." Princess Badia nodded, "More than 1000 years of friendly relations."

"Yeah, more than 1000 years of friendly relations." Alan Wilson saw through it, but changed the subject, "Well, most of the people in Iraq are Shia, but what a coincidence, the royal family is Sunni. To be honest Under the influence of religion, if Iraq and Iran are hostile, who will they support? No Christians can be trusted. After all, Christians are a minority. As long as there is a tendency to support them, it is easy to become a supporter of the royal family. This is Buddy What does Princess Ya think? Since the establishment of the Royal Guard, has the safety of the royal family been greatly improved?"

Even the guards chewing khat stopped moving because of what Alan Wilson said.The dominance of Shiites was not brought by the British colonists, but the legacy of Sasanian Persia, which has been left over to this day.

These words speak to the heart of Princess Badiya. Christians have become royal guards. Has the kingdom of Iraq experienced fewer mutinies?Is the connection between Shiites and Iran a fact?

Egypt, the most powerful country in the Arab world, has a smaller population than Iran. What's more, Iraq, with a population of only a few million, is facing a heretical country with a population of more than 2000 million. Is it really like a 1000-year friendly relationship?

While Princess Badia was thinking, Alan Wilson showed his sincerity, "Britain has just passed the decision to establish a 180-day national oil reserve. Of course, this can be done with North Sea oil, but this decision is actually used to transfer profits to the UK-friendly oil producers. That includes Iraq, of course."

"We support the strength of the Kingdom of Iraq, we can open a series of arms purchases, and support Iraq's national development. The United States can help Iran, and it will be easier for the United Kingdom, because there is still a small half of Africa in the hands of the United Kingdom. Iraq's needs , Regardless of the technology market or raw materials, the UK can solve them.”

"Maybe we should talk about it." The guard chewing khat said, "Father is also thinking about how to face Iran. Let me introduce myself. My father is the regent Said, the elder brother of Princess Badiya. .”

"It turned out to be a prince, no wonder it looks unusual." Alan Wilson explained that he looked at a drug addict and modified it into a knife catcher who is a real hero.

The result of this exchange is very good. After all, Britain still has influence on Iraq.When several people returned to the crowd, Alan Wilson made a victory gesture to the foreign secretary.

Harold Wilson let go of his heart, and he also became more at ease, and his three sentences were inseparable from the traditional Anglo-Arab relationship.And willingness to help the development of the Gulf countries.

"We can even say that, driven by the United Kingdom, many countries in Europe may try to establish national oil reserves, and the demand for oil will usher in a surge." Alan Wilson added, "This is very important for the countries of the monarchs here. Said that it will be an opportunity to take off, and we can guarantee that our territory will definitely develop faster than Iran."

"There is no doubt about it." Harold Wilson answered firmly, and the combination of the two Wilsons cooperated very well.

With Iraq settled, the remaining countries have no difficulty for the UK. Three days later, the European Community represented by the UK, and the EU including Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, and Qatar were signed three days later. Eleven emirates officially signed for both sides.

Subsequently, these countries led by Iraq, Kuwait, and Oman announced the establishment of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, declaring to the outside world that they would protect their own interests and reach a fairer agreement with Europe.

Before leaving Basra, Foreign Secretary Harold Wilson called the agreement a great example of cooperation.

Chapter 985 Save the People First Save the Officials

As a cabinet minister, it is impossible for Harold Wilson to stay abroad for a long time. After signing the market and energy cooperation treaty, he will return to China to discuss the next steps. As for some details, he will leave it to The Standing Undersecretary on call.

Because the Labor Party is counting on a tough stance to increase support, the timing of the outbreak of the Iran crisis this time is somewhat coincidental.The choice before the Labor Party is nothing but tough.

The attitude of the United States has also become clear, and the International Monetary Fund provided Iran with 6000 million US dollars in economic assistance.

At this time, it has caused a huge backlash in the UK. At a time when the UK and Iran are hostile, the United States is undoubtedly stepping on the UK by doing so.

Alan Wilson was not very nervous. On the contrary, he thought it was a good thing. It was better to lose Iran than to lose the Suez Canal.However, during the discussion with the Foreign Secretary, he still said, "Rockefeller had a saying that 90.00% is not enough, [-]% is needed. If Iran does not give in, and the pro-American Saudi Arabia is added, the United States has already occupied a relative advantage in the Middle East oil structure. "

"Thinking about it now, maybe five years ago in the Iranian oil crisis, although the United States did not take any obvious action, it might as well be a joke." Harold Wilson was brooding about the reaction of the United States, and this time he took a cold breath. , It was a huge blow to the Labor Party. After returning, he still had to figure out how to appease the emotions of British citizens.

"Deriving from this time to the last time, there are indeed many doubts." Alan Wilson took the opportunity to amplify Harold Wilson's dissatisfaction at this time, "It is said that the establishment of OPEC is a last resort for the United Kingdom to counter Iran. Determined to fight for a long time. I think the United States must have doubts about the establishment of OPEC, but excluding the option of war, we firmly stated that this is a general organization for market and energy cooperation.”

"What if the United States wants to join in?" Harold Wilson raised a possibility, oil resources, even if the United States agrees with Britain's rhetoric, it will not completely let go of its guard.

"It means that we do not exclude the United States and the Soviet Union. This can demonstrate fairness." Alan Wilson thought for a while and said, "Once the United States wants to join, the United Kingdom has no reason to reject the Soviet Union. You must know that the Soviet Union is also an important part of the European energy market." An exporting country, if it upsets the Soviet Union, could be detrimental to European security."

Alan Wilson even hoped that the Foreign Secretary could speak openly when facing questions, "Once the United States and the Soviet Union join OPEC, this organization will become the United Nations again, and each country will talk to itself, which will no longer be effective. But It’s not necessarily a bad thing. In short, either all join or none, or keep OPEC and let the UK, a special observer, lead, or all three giants come in, and no one can be the leader.”

"It's not bad." Harold Wilson thought for a long time and said with a smile, "Let the United States choose, either with the Soviet Union or not to come in, anyway, the Iran crisis is that the United States is sorry for the United Kingdom, and the establishment of OPEC by the United Kingdom is just a passive counterattack That's all."

This explanation can be said in the past, because the OPEC promoted by the United Kingdom has nothing to do with the oil pound.Of course the pound can buy oil, as can the dollar.

The reason why Alan Wilson promoted the establishment of OPEC was not because he believed that Britain was enough to challenge the United States in terms of financial hegemony.

Instead, set aside a private plot in advance to prevent leeks from being cut by the United States.Don't let the American inflation of the Vietnam War be transmitted to the UK. It is too much to think about regaining financial hegemony now. As for the future, it depends on the situation.

Essentially, this is still consolidating the imperial system of preference, creating economic ties for industrial production, energy and other raw materials.

He believed that the foreign minister would face all kinds of temptations from the United States when he returned to London, so the two had the discussion just now. Harold Wilson, who was mentally prepared, went to the international airport in Basra, and then... from Di Biden Boarded the Comet Airliner, which was temporarily arranged by Alan Wilson.

Harold Wilson was very surprised, but finally accepted this arrangement suspiciously.

Either the executive deputy minister was far-sighted, or he decided to frighten the respected minister temporarily, but it should not be too extreme. After Harold Wilson returned, he had to explain to the outside world that the responsibility for the oil crisis lay entirely with Iran.

After sending the minister on the plane, Alan Wilson wondered whether there is a problem of anti-bond boys in Europe.

France helped to withdraw from the group, Germany was a defeated country, and Italy did not have the consciousness of a defeated country, but Italy's oil supply was mainly provided by Libya.As for the rest, they don't have the ability to trouble Britain.

This ensures that there will be no opposition from Europe, and that Harold Wilson only needs to deal with the Americans.

The idea was clear, and Alan Wilson brought a pure Turkish handmade rug as a birthday present. According to the notepad that only he could understand, Ms. Heidi Lamarr was going to celebrate her birthday.

Immediately, a series of stories happened on this handmade carpet, including but not limited to riding a rocket.

The naked man and woman hugged each other and looked at each other with satisfaction in each other's eyes, "I just gave me a gift, and it got dirty so quickly."

Heidi Lamarr stared at Alan Wilson, with such a hint of reluctance in her tone, she complained softly.

"I want to be a gentleman in front of you, and I fail every time." Alan Wilson leaned over after finishing speaking, and had a verbal battle, allowing Heidi Lamarr to experience the smooth tongue of the executive vice minister of the empire. reed.

After a warm day, Heidi Lamarr also set off to leave, and Alan Wilson had to deal with the details.Of course, what he puts forward are all professional opinions. Although he is in the UK, he always does his best when serving other countries.

It happens that the monarchs of Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, and the Central Emirates are also there. He is needed at this time to contribute to the well-being of the local Middle East. When he shows off what he has learned, he will hold the demographic statistics of each country.

Alan Wilson sat in front of the monarchs and started the eloquent Middle East road map plan. The Emir of Kuwait, the country of Sabah, had 20 citizens at this time, and Oman had 50 people. Later generations merged into many emirates of the United Arab Emirates. Adding Qatar and Bahrain, there are a total of 25 people, including 4 in Qatar and 14 in Bahrain.

Except for Iraq, these countries where later generations are lying on oil wells to make money, add up to a total of 100 million people.

Quite in line with the basic configuration of top resource countries, rich in resources and sparsely populated.Although Saudi Arabia will be the leader of the Arab world decades later, it is completely a poor country in front of these pocket countries.Citizens of almost every country live better than Saudis.

"For a small country, the honorable emirs are so happy. The most urgent task now is to establish a national identity system immediately to determine the exact number of your country's population. A large amount of wealth will be flooded in your country. Finland appeared before me."

Allen Wilson hinted that it is time to solve the problem of illegal immigration, so as to make rapid progress on a per capita basis.Let the citizens of each host country show the opportunity to make more money and billions.

Of course, this does not include Iraq. The population of Iraq has grown rapidly and has doubled in ten years. The original population of more than 400 million has now become 700 million, which is one-third of the population of Iran.

This increase startled Alan Wilson. He originally thought that the increase in the Malayan colony from nearly 1000 million to 400 million was already terrifying.

But compared with Iraq's population growth rate, it is still far inferior, and the Peace Church is so terrifying.

However, even if it is 700 million people, it is far from being a population pressure for the kingdom of Iraq with two river basins.

Iraq has no problem feeding 3000 million people, and economic development will certainly slow down population growth.Iraq's population growth was not fast during Saddam's time.

Even if the country is in turmoil, there is still enough food.Especially with the agricultural empire of the United States opening up unlimited supply, the population growth is scary. In the 20 years since Saddam was overthrown, the population of Iraq has increased from 2000 million to 4000 million.

Looking for work for the population, Alan Wilson, who was the chief executive of a place, is no stranger to it. The population of Iraq is not as large as that of Malaya, so the original Green Revolution, high-quality seeds, breeding cattle, and sheep were sent here. Let the Iraqi royal family set up an institution, even if nothing changes, the food will increase a lot.

"We position Iraq as a rich and powerful kingdom, while the other emirs are a rich country. I don't know what the respected emirs think?"

Alan Wilson flicked his turban, and asked in the tone of I am our population, "The smaller the population, the more obvious the effect. But the emirs should be optimistic about their own country. The Persian Gulf is not far from South Asia. Don't let the Indians A guy who is hostile to your beliefs is mixed in. It can be used as cheap labor, but things like doves occupying magpies' nests should be avoided."

Please forgive Alan Wilson for being a person who puts himself in other people's shoes. Many emirates are still colonies, and he has already been appointed as a protectorate and advised them.

Isn’t the rise of South Korea in the early days just a matter of millions of laborers working hard in the Middle East to save money?Don't bother the Koreans with such a hard work. South Korea's rise can find another way.

In any case, this kind of attitude makes people feel good out of thin air. At this moment, his secretary Wick walked in and whispered softly, "Executive Deputy Secretary, your wife has just landed at the airport with a A gift from a transport plane."

"His Royal Highness, Emil, my wife has just arrived and brought you a gift." Alan Wilson was not surprised at all, and told everyone the good news. Emil's life is not easy, What about citizens?

Chapter 986 Arnold

"Mr. Wilson, I haven't seen my wife for a while." Princess Badia immediately responded enthusiastically to the news, "I think everyone wants to make friends with the richest woman in the world."

"His Royal Highness said that, it is too much praise, Pamela is a very considerate person." Alan Wilson smiled, and terminated the meeting directly. Originally, Pamela Mountbatten's coming is also a part of good neighborliness and friendship. .

The Middle East is the center of air transportation in later generations, and the route between the Middle East and the United Kingdom is also the busiest and most profitable route in the world.

The construction of Dubai's airport has been largely completed, at least within the scope of nearby emirates, and a large part of the employment problem has been solved.For the current few emirates, this can be regarded as a great help.

Transferring from Dubai to Basra, there are two transport planes converted from Comet airliners, loaded with the female president of the Mountbatten Group, and bringing gifts to distinguished guests. When Rolls-Royce Silver Clouds were unloaded, including the Emir of Kuwait The chiefs, including Sabah, looked at Pamela Mountbatten, who was dressed in an unsuitable Arab traditional dress, and their eyes suddenly became amiable.

Almost all of the oil profits controlled by Britain in the Persian Gulf belonged to BP. It was only after the Mountbatten Petroleum Group entered the Persian Gulf that the distribution ratio was adjusted, allowing the chiefs to live a life of prosperity.

Counting the time to get rid of the hard days, it is not long, the distinguished emirs, I have not yet experienced the happy days when I was the richest in the world with a piece of cloth on my head, and I was a little dizzy when I was dazzled by a row of sky blue Rolls-Royce silver clouds .

"Dear emirs, some small gifts are not a tribute. There are gifts for your wives and children in the car, you can go and have a look." Pamela Mountbatten took off her sunglasses and greeted with a smile.

Alan Wilson walked over with his hands in his pockets, looking like a low-level dick, and said in amazement, "Honey, it's expensive. Twenty Rolls-Royces are not a small expense."

"It's cheaper than Gintama. Others won't buy it at such a low price. I'm also a regular customer. The total including the gifts in the car is 100 million pounds." Pamela Mountbatten's mouth slightly curled up, "My husband is working for the country. , I always have to do something, otherwise people will think that I don't understand my husband's work, so what should I do."

Alan Wilson squinted his eyes and bent slightly, threatening in a low voice, "I will definitely spank your ass, I will."

"Remember to work harder when the time comes." Pamela Mountbatten put one hand on her husband's arm and walked slowly. She must take care of her husband's face in front of others.

The little girl raised since childhood has made Alan Wilson full of sense of accomplishment. First, let these distinguished guests experience the hard life of working until two o'clock in the afternoon in the future. Sincerity has been achieved, which will help maintain the relationship between the United Kingdom and these chiefs.

100 million pounds is actually not a big expenditure for the current Pamela Mountbatten.Compared with this small amount of money, her oil company's profits can be called astronomical figures.Naturally, he doesn't care about this little expense to maintain contacts.

Although the trick is old-fashioned, it works. Pamela Mountbatten, who was taught by her husband's precepts and deeds, also knows the principle of saving the people first. Every emir of the emirate has one car, and the rest is allocated to the royal families of Iraq, Kuwait and Oman.

The emirs could only reluctantly accept it under the kindness of fists, with the words of not being an example.

"Maybe in the future, among these small countries, Rolls-Royce is really not a luxury. There are so few people, and a few oil wells can feed the whole country well." Alan Wilson, a civil servant who has never seen the market much, in his previous life I was also shocked by the parking lot of luxury cars in Dubai.

For emirates such as Qatar and Dubai, it is really not difficult to buy low-level citizens, the worst is the worst, and there are countless South Asian temporary workers who come from thousands of miles to serve these uncles.

The establishment of an identity system in these protectorates will directly isolate immigrants from the short window period after independence in history.Developing and building their land in advance will also delay population expansion to a certain extent.

In this way, maybe the comfortable days of these pocket emirates can be longer, at least for now, the emirs are already very comfortable.Rolls-Royce is a famous aristocratic car, and it is now.

The British car industry is built on extremely high-end models, and there are many models with high reputation and high price.

For the well-being of British citizens, Alan Wilson wanted to suggest to his wife to find a similar model to buy, so as to contribute to the cause of increasing the market for British oil consumption.

"The transport aircraft modified by the comet is still a bit worse. With the distribution of the British territory, a large military transport aircraft is needed, and the current transport aircraft does not have this function." Alan Wilson, who put his hand on his wife's shoulder, was not very satisfied with the test of modifying the comet. Method.

"Tricking me to spend money again." Pamela Mountbatten didn't know what the person next to her pillow meant, and cried poorly, "So many industries need to be invested, even aerospace projects that have no profit, you know how poor I am Well."

"Maybe I don't know, your worth £20 billion, life in poverty."

Alan Wilson admitted his mistake in a straightforward manner, "I know, my dear, every day is very hard. Others have a life of worrying about three meals a day, and you also have your own troubles, such as... right."

For example, after a long time, Alan Wilson still didn't think about where Pamela Mountbatten's troubles were, maybe she couldn't live forever. How big is the gap between the Mountbatten Group and ordinary people?

It's so big that it's unimaginable that ordinary Brits can't understand the gap.

Take the people who live in the 21st century as a comparison, and narrate it from the perspective of the most personal heroism and elite who can change their destiny. This outstanding person comes from an ordinary family. After years of study, he has reached the standard of an annual salary of one million, which is a success. people template.

The tax deduction is about 70 yuan, and another ordinary person who relies on his parents has 2000 million deposits left by his parents. The 2000 million deposit is a three-year fixed interest rate of 71, and the annual interest is 100. Interest and pre-tax annual salary of [-] million are almost the same, which is a symbol of strength.

The latter can do a very easy job and spend 20 years watching elites come to be on an equal footing with him.

Equality is theoretical, and it is practically impossible to catch up.The latter will not get all the extra funds of 70 a year, and the former cannot live without food or drink.

Let’s not run into the comparison of 35-year-old being sent to the society as a talent, and the gap between Pamela Mountbatten and ordinary British people has widened to an incomprehensible level at the end of [-].

As long as the investment doesn't fail continuously and falls into the huge pit, Pamela Mountbatten, who is in the cash flow industry, will not give others a chance to catch up. As for the vision, her husband is not targeting anyone, no It is very likely that someone has a better vision than him.

The visit of his wife, who earns pounds all the time, has indeed solved Alan Wilson's big problem. In the same way, when he said it, these emirs might still be skeptical, and they gave away twenty Rolls-Royce Silver Clouds when they met. When Pamela Mountbatten said it, this is full of sincerity, and the world is so real.

Alan Wilson breathed a sigh of relief, taking advantage of the positive impact of his wife's change of the situation, signed more than 20 commercial agreements, which tied up Iraq, Kuwait, Oman and many emirates, and the trade of the Malaya colonies in all aspects. It was settled that no one knew Malaya better than him.

"How important it is to have a woman to guarantee the logistics." Pamela Mountbatten showed off her contribution, "The Foreign Secretary just set a framework, and the content in the framework is all set by you, and I also have a little credit. "

"This is too much credit, my dear." Alan Wilson returned to his hotel with a full load, and kissed his wife's red lips directly. As long as the British troops in the Middle East do not withdraw, it will be impossible for others to use energy to deal with Britain in decades.”

Not much to say, the manned spaceflight project was launched immediately, allowing my wife to experience the joy of riding a rocket.

Of course, Alan Wilson also pays attention to restraint. In any case, in order to show his loyalty to the British Empire, he must save some for his sister-in-law.

Returning with fruitful results, the husband and wife returned to London. By the way, they guided the public opinion campaigns in various places, even about Egypt, the Aswan Dam was in arrears of wages, and Farouk I used his own money to pay wages to the workers. The propaganda of Egypt shows that Egypt must be self-reliant and self-reliant, and that one day it will take back the Suez Canal from the British with dignity.

At this moment, the Arab world has reached a consensus that the rights and interests can be taken back from the British hands through diplomatic means and sausage-cutting tactics. At least this consensus has been passed in Alan Wilson's mind.

Because of the actions of the United States in the Iran crisis this time, cracks appeared in the special relationship between Britain and the United States, and anti-American voices appeared in the civil class. Pass.
