British civil servant

After being told by the British in front of her, Queen Nariman suddenly became hesitant. The power in Egypt is indeed in the hands of Farouk I's cousin, "I wonder if Sir can help."

"If the queen can be loved by the common people in Egypt, the UK is of course very willing to help." Alan Wilson said in a tone wrapped around me, it's time to kill the eight ministers Gu Ming.

Immediately, Queen Farida, who had been away from the royal family for a long time, was recalled to the palace. When she went to find the former queen's palace guards, she was surprised that she would receive such an order.

On this day, the royal palace is brightly lit, and the free officer organization is full of vitality. The Egyptian royal family is definitely not as stable as Mount Tai. With the opening of the Egyptian civil rule, the autocratic monarchy system will not last too long. Don't look at what era it is now.

"You two queens, you are not enemies, but women in the same situation. You are not competitors, but mutual support and reliance." Alan Wilson looked solemn, wondering if this year is the year of Xinyou , It seems not, but it probably means that the future of Egypt is uncertain, and the burden of the entire country falls on the two women.

"What kind of support can the UK give us?" The long-term persuasion was still effective, and Queen Nariman took the initiative to ask for support for her status and her son.

"Of course, we must fully support it, because this is a good thing for social progress, and there is no reason for any country to oppose it." Alan Wilson patted his chest and promised, "I believe the Egyptian people will also be very happy to release the excessive power that restricts members of the royal family. Yes. Most importantly, the royal guard will never betray the royal family."

Of course, the royal guard formed by the Copts, Egypt has really undergone major changes, can they still guarantee that the new government will be able to maintain peace?

Now the first thing to do is to finish the funeral of Farouk I, clarify the stability of the inheritance, and don't let other forces make a fuss about it.

Chapter 290, Funeral and Diplomacy

Egypt has a reputation in the Arab world, and with the support of the United Kingdom, it can be even more prestigious. The funeral of Farouk I is a very good occasion to show the majesty of the great power of Egypt. Isn’t there a saying, Faro The contribution made by Ke I in his death is greater than what he made in his whole life.

There is no nation that loses face, even if the situation of this nation is indeed very difficult, let alone a big country with a reputation.

Compared with India, the life of the Egyptian nation can still go on, and it is not a big problem to promote national pride. Alan Wilson offered to do his part in the funeral of Farouk I.

All monarchical countries in the Arab world, even if the monarch does not come in person, it is reasonable to have a prince or something, and a republican country also has a special envoy. He has not forgotten France. After all, Britain and France still occupy Algeria, which is half of it. In African countries, the de Gaulle government is doing its best to establish the prestige of a European power. The main means is to reconcile with the Soviet Union and build a good relationship with a certain power.

But even so, the proud and sensitive pride of the French should be taken care of.

Both Queen Farida and Queen Nariman expressed their gratitude to the enthusiastic Britain. They may not love Farouk I, but it is okay to love the king.At the moment when the king had just died and Egypt was standing at a crossroads, Britain, which is also a monarchy, was trusted more than other countries no matter what.

If it was in the past, with this kind of opportunity, why would Alan Wilson have to think about sleeping in a dragon bed or something like that, but in his middle age, he no longer eats the behavior of beasts, and besides, he can't understand the classic Arabic Heidi Rama in the robe told the embassy in Egypt to telegraph the monarchs of the Arab countries that Alan Wilson chose to rest at the Windsor Castle Hotel, and the sister-in-law's property still gained more trust.

"I also prepared a set for you." Heidi Rama took out a light-colored Arabian robe, prepared for this funeral, "You are very practical, and you can wear whatever clothes you want wherever you go. It doesn't matter at all, seamless switching."

Originally, Alan Wilson thought it was just a very common sentence, but Heidi Rama's next sentence was ulterior motives, "I heard that Farouk I's two wives were very beautiful."

"Heidi, what are you thinking? She is the queen of a country." Alan Wilson is very keen to capture this kind of overtones. At this time, he has already forgotten Queen Nanfang. It is better for her to live a peaceful life. As for other things Well, let's talk about it.

"I'm sure I don't doubt anything else, but you have a criminal record." Heidi Lama frowned, thinking about the man's past, how can this be reassuring.

As he spoke, the shackles on his body had been untied by the cabinet secretary who was on a business trip at some point, "Stop talking, and watch how I ravage you."

Here we go again, Heidi Lamarr thought so, and let the opponent take the initiative, obediently lay down, and let the man behind him come within range.

In the next two days, the monarchies of the Arab world mourned the death of Farouk I deeply, and some gossip was also circulating, such as Prince Fuad accepted the will of Farouk I, why must the Aswan Dam be built? Completed, took back control of the Suez Canal, and so on.

Anyway, the people who eat melons in Egypt like to hear it, and the British embassy, ​​the base camp of rumors, can spread it vigorously. As for the military, especially the palace guards, they are naturally on the alert inside and outside.It is a tradition to prevent people from being incited at home, and to say to the outside world that Israel may take the opportunity to attack. If you do not decide on internal affairs, ask the Sir, and do not decide on Israel's foreign affairs. This is a tradition.

This also caused Israel to immediately refute the rumors, believing that the Egyptian military's accusations were not true, and now this would provoke border friction.It will only arouse the hatred of Israel in Egypt. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for Israel to provoke trouble at this time. In fact, Israel did not, but someone planted it.

At this time, Allen Wilson was talking and laughing with King Moulay Hassan II of Morocco. He praised the current situation of Morocco and should contribute to the friendly relationship between the two countries.

Decades later in the world, territorial changes have actually occurred in some corners. For example, Sikkim has been destroyed, and Turkey has occupied the northwest corner of Syria.But these are all small adjustments, and it can be said that there have been major changes in Africa.

For example, Rwanda only has this point on the map, but it has already occupied Congolese land several times larger than its own territory. The same is true for the Kingdom of Morocco. The Kingdom of Morocco has occupied most of the land in Western Saraha, and because of the demarcation problem with Algeria , resulting in constant hostility.

Looking at Algeria's weapons and equipment, you can see that Algeria has always distrusted Anglo-American law since its independence, and its national weapons procurement has always been from the Soviet Union and later Russia.France, which is across the Mediterranean Sea, has always been vigilant to prevent the colonists from coming back.

In the mercenary world in Africa, Algeria has long cooperated with Russian mercenaries in Africa. On the contrary, Morocco has always maintained a good relationship with Western Europe.The two countries have been fighting openly and secretly because of the border issue. Algeria has a good relationship with Russia, and Morocco is pro-French.

There is a kind of Greater Moroccanism spreading in Morocco. In Morocco, there are official and unofficial claims to these areas.They believe that as early as the colonial era, they were also Spanish enclaves in Africa, and these areas were all under some form of Morocco's sovereignty.

The Algerian War of Independence broke out, and Morocco captured Tindouf and Bechar in western Algeria and claimed them as Moroccan territory. Of course, in this time and space, because France won the victory over Algeria, Morocco spit out these lands again.

The above are not all of Morocco’s territorial claims. Supporters of the Greater Moroccanism believe that the entire Mauritania’s land of more than 100 million square kilometers should be part of Morocco.According to this view, Morocco believes that its own territory should exceed the total area of ​​Algeria, with more than 200 million square kilometers.

Morocco was a North African power before the colonial era, and once killed the king of Portugal’s expedition to Africa, while Algeria was just some marginal corners. If it hadn’t been colonized by France, it couldn’t be compared with Morocco at all. During the Algerian War of Independence, Morocco recognized France Will eventually give up and attack Algeria at war first.

And in a world where France maintained domination over Algeria, the Kingdom of Morocco had to pay for its adventure.

Unlike Algeria, which was pro-Soviet, and Morocco, which was pro-European in the previous life, Morocco must now be wary of France. With this condition, it becomes an opportunity for British capital to flourish in Morocco.

Faced with such a situation, Moulay Hassan II, who had just become king, chose the United Kingdom as the balance of French forces on the one hand, and on the other hand, because of religious relations, he wanted to expand friendship with the Arab world. Egypt is the No. A big country, this time Farouk I's funeral, he came in person.

Alan Wilson is naturally happy to see the success of this, occupying the African market, with the help of Portugal, and it would be even better if Morocco was added.This is also to contribute to his wife's property, so he didn't say anything.

In the following days, princes and special envoys from Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Oman including some small emirates, and even distant Pakistan arrived in Egypt one after another.Alan Wilson used the soft power of the United Kingdom to cause such a result, and he was a little relieved.

Prince ambassadors from so many countries are present, it would be unwise for someone to take advantage of the vacancy of the Egyptian king's death to find trouble.

"Princess Badia, the unity of the Arab world is really amazing." Seeing his old friend appear, Alan Wilson greeted with a smile, "Long time no see, Your Royal Highness is more and more radiant."

"Sir, it's because of this mouth that he made Pamela so happy." Princess Badia was not out of sight, and chatted with Alan Wilson. During the period, there were also some worries about the growth of the Freedom Officers Organization. The same concern of the military host country.

"Yes and no, it is true that the UK cares about the safety of the Arab monarchs." Alan Wilson smiled, "Peace is hard-won, and we must cherish it. No one wants to see the results of the Yemeni royal family. Yes, but the threat does exist, doesn't it?"

Alan Wilson also met the Prince of Saudi Arabia, whose full name is Prince Khalid bin Abdul-Aziz Al Saud, who expounded on the development of relations between the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia.Farouk I's funeral was too busy for him, and he had to deal with the envoys of various countries, and the headscarf was wet from sweating.

The funeral of Farouk I was indeed as predicted by Alan Wilson. It was very solemn and solemn. Kings, princes, special envoys, ministers and ministers from dozens of countries attended.Satisfied the Egyptians' vision of Egypt as the leader of the Arab world.

These guests all spoke highly of Farouk I's achievements, from economic construction, to subsidies for the bottom-level people, and the establishment of the Century Project Aswan Dam.

Of course, there is also mention of the control of the Suez Canal. This is what the Syrian special envoy said, which made Alan Wilson very unhappy.

But the atmosphere has already reached this point. It is not appropriate for him not to speak. He can only pick up the contract spirit that was thrown on the ground and stepped on ten thousand feet. He talked about the importance of the Suez Canal to European countries. "We all understand, What does the Suez Canal mean to Egypt? I hope that the Egyptian government will promise that the neutrality of the Suez Canal must not be used to harm Europe. Under this premise, we can talk as much as we can, and there is nothing we cannot talk about.”

The first thousand 290 chapters and the beginning of the new deal

In other words, at a certain time in the future, the Suez Canal can be handed over to Egypt, but Egypt must ensure that its country does not fall to any country other than the United Kingdom.

This not only refers to the Soviet Union, but also the United States. Since there is no British armed force in Egypt, there cannot be any country's armed forces.

Of course, in essence, Allen Wilson is still delaying the handover of the Suez Canal with the security of Europe. He may have to talk to the French next, and if it doesn't work, try to let the Suez Canal Company be listed in London.

There is no way to do this. When the Syrian special envoy pressed him for such a question, he could only answer in this way, and he could not say that he would not return it.

Because the Suez Canal had already set the conditions for the support of the Aswan Dam as early as when the Labor Party was in power, in exchange for the Suez Canal being still controlled by the United Kingdom.Now that the construction period is over halfway, the Aswan Dam has gradually taken shape, and it will be a matter of time before the foot of the Suez Canal is returned to Egypt.

In essence, using the Aswan Dam and the Suez Canal to bind it is also a reference to the process of supporting Egypt by the Soviet Union.When was the Soviet Union driven out by Egypt?It was during Sadat's time, when was the Aswan Dam completed, 1970.

More than one-third of the loans for the construction of the Aswan Dam were provided by the Soviet Union. After the completion of the dam, Egypt let the Soviet Union go.

Naturally, Britain is not so generous. It just took part of the proceeds from the Suez Canal and purchased the raw materials provided by Malaya. After a series of write-offs, it showed that it could only provide so much help.

The behavior of taking advantage of the Soviet Union was what Britain tried to avoid, but Britain could not refuse Egypt's request for help, so it could only use financial means to deceive the world, which was exactly what the Soviet Union lacked.

Of course, Allen Wilson never denied that the Soviet Union’s taking advantage of during the Cold War did have an impact on many countries. Even if Egypt later switched to the United States, more than half of the Egyptian people’s favor for Russia was still more than half of the people’s favor for the United States. However, Politics is politics and has nothing to do with the likes and dislikes of the people.

If public opinion really counts, there will not be a single pro-American country in the entire world of the Church of Peace, and it will be much easier to bribe the upper class. This is also the route Alan Wilson is currently pursuing.

Almost all the prince's special envoys in the world of the Church of Peace are present. Alan Wilson certainly cannot choose to start from a position of strength, so he naturally adopted an attitude of keeping his promise.

Anyway, that was something the Labor Party agreed to. Even if the Conservative Party is now in power in the UK after a change of term, he himself is not responsible.

Sure enough, after holding an open opinion on the ownership of the Suez Canal, the diplomats from the Peace Church countries present all said that the British commitment reflected the demeanor of a world power.Immediately endorsed because of this, I believe that Britain and Egypt will resolve the issue of the ownership of the Suez Canal.

"The United Kingdom will not bear the pressure of any country, except Egypt. I know that many countries in the world of the Church of Peace are very concerned about this issue. Of course, Britain's commitment is effective." It is a disadvantage, as long as the witnesses represent greater influence, the United Kingdom will follow the rules in the future, and the United States and the Soviet Union will have no excuses to compare.

After dealing with this hurdle, Alan Wilson broke away from the crowd of Arabs and watched Pakistani special envoy Jalah Khan privately link up with special envoys of fraternal countries with great enthusiasm.

The India-Pakistan conflict in February has ended for several months. It is no surprise that the reason for the end is of course the credit of British Prime Minister Eden who loves diplomacy. Under the care of this prime minister who loves diplomacy, the India-Pakistan conflict Decided to hang out for a few months.

At present, Foreign Minister Rabo Butler is visiting between Karachi and New Delhi. Otherwise, Rabo Butler should also attend the funeral of King Farouk I this time, and it is really impossible to leave.But obviously, the British mediation this time only allowed the two countries to temporarily suppress their anger.

After India's defeat in the Himalayas, the aura of India's third world leader and leader of the Non-Aligned Movement was shattered, and Pakistan also wanted to try India's quality.

Of course, it is not easy for Alan Wilson to ask about specific matters in such a public place, but his good friend John, the High Commissioner for the Persian Gulf, also secretly came to Cairo and is now in the Cairo embassy.

After a whole day of tossing, the funeral of Farouk I was finally over. The heated discussions in the streets and alleys of Cairo were that British officials kept their promise to return the Suez Canal when the Aswan Dam was completed.

"Really return the Suez Canal to Egypt?" John took the cigar handed over by the supreme authority, lit it, and took a puff. "This canal is too important."

"No way, it was already decided during Prime Minister Attlee's time. Besides, we don't know when the Aswan Dam will be completed. We will talk about it at that time." Alan Wilson explained, and then asked, "I know that the minister will go now Let’s go to New Delhi, have you talked about the situation in India and Pakistan? I think the special envoy of Pakistan is very active today.”

"Our minister is mediating, but you are trying to embargo Indonesian oil." John sighed while puffing out smoke rings, and then said, "I haven't talked directly with overseas countries, but I have met the Pakistani ambassador in Kuwait before. , suggested it in a suggested tone."

"A good suggestion." Alan Wilson smiled when he heard it, and then explained, "It's not that I don't trust the minister, the key is that since India has been hanged and beaten, it urgently needs a country that they feel can be stable. Back to self-confidence, and the impact of India's defeat on Pakistan is that Pakistan seems to think that India is the same. When both sides have the desire for war, it is difficult to do this."

"The civilians of the two countries will have to pay the price again." John shook his head pityingly. He didn't sympathize with the civilians of the two countries. This was their own choice.Britain said that the partition of India and Pakistan would cause mutual harm, did anyone listen?Nehru didn't want to split, but he couldn't control the hardliners in the Congress Party.

This kind of thing has always been simple. If you want to solve the problem without blood, you have to sacrifice money.

"Isn't that what a country is like? The common people don't necessarily benefit from the development of a country. If there is chaos in a country, the people of this country will definitely be unlucky. There are almost no exceptions." Alan Wilson commented indifferently.

There are many ways to force men to go to the battlefield. Don't expect ordinary people to run away when the country is in war. If they run out, they will be refugees.Refugees have no rights and interests. To put it better, women go out to sell and men clean toilets. As long as you think a little bit darkly, you are lucky not to become a human organ provider.

During the First World War, British women showed great enthusiasm to support the war. Women didn't have to go to the battlefield, but they humiliated the men who didn't go to the battlefield. Dare to go to the battlefield, this is just one of the small means.

In fact, any country can throw away the usual norms when facing danger, and the whole country has really started to mobilize. Treason and joining the army can choose one.The former will definitely be shot dead on the spot, and the latter may survive.

In front of his old friend, Allen Wilson was pessimistic about Rabo Butler's hard work for peace this time. It doesn't matter if he fights a game. Isn't there a saying that peace is made by fighting.

"If India and Pakistan really fight, which side will the United States stand on?" John stubbed out this question as he stubbed out his cigar.

"Don't think about it, you must be on Pakistan's side. Even if you lose the Indus River Basin and the Ganges Delta, India's basic plate is too big." Alan Wilson replied without thinking, "The so-called world order is this The world should always be ruled by the Americans. Washington doesn’t even have London in his eyes. Do you remember what the Americans said in [-] that the world is ruled by Britain and the United States? But when they demand debts, don’t they just want to bleed Britain’s blood? ?”

"When India was a representative of the third world, it didn't respect the United States very much. Nehru often contradicted the United States. If there is a chance, the United States will definitely make Indians feel uncomfortable."

The United States has never changed. The Vietnam War and decades later have something in common, which is to provoke the war around the secondary enemy, first bring down the smaller enemy, and concentrate on dealing with the main enemy after success.

As for why it did this, it is a matter of path dependence, because a certain big country has indeed jumped backwards, and it wants to do it again with Russia decades later.The strategy of alliance with Russia does not necessarily have to be beneficial, but it can also bleed Russia to make the opponent surrender.

"Then let's see if the United States has time to support Pakistan when it is focusing on one battlefield." John said suddenly, "The Arab world will not have a common language with the United States because of the India-Pakistan war?"

"If the United States can abandon Israel, there is really such a danger." Alan Wilson asked with a smile, "Do you think the United States will abandon Israel?"

The High Commissioner of the Persian Gulf came secretly. After the two talked about the plan, he will return to Bahrain secretly. As for Alan Wilson, he will wait and see the direction of public opinion. For example, what do the Egyptians think about the discussion of the constitutional monarchy? How about the evaluation, so many princes, special envoys and even kings from so many countries are there.

According to Queen Nariman and Queen Farida, Farouk I wanted to carry out reforms and establish a constitutional monarchy before his death, which was confirmed by the two queens.

As the representative of the United Kingdom in Cairo, Alan Wilson immediately expressed his support and commented in public, "The respected king is obviously aware of the problem and hopes that the Egyptian people can take responsibility for themselves."

When he said this, he almost endorsed the two queens. Of course, only God knows how many last words Farouk I left before his death. It seems that there are too many.

Chapter 290 and Five Mountbatten Retirement

As for how Egypt changed from a monarchy to a constitutional monarchy, Alan Wilson can’t do it for you. However, he is no stranger to shifting the focus. It involves people’s livelihood without touching the fundamentals. In fact, there are many things that can be done, which can be used temporarily. Paralyze the perception of the Egyptians.

To put it simply, it is to find a way to eliminate malaria and other infectious diseases from health issues, which can be used to stabilize the status of the royal family. When the ruler of this country cares about the bottom through this method, things will become very easy.

"Before this, it may need some data to support a series of diseases, but I believe this is not a problem for Egypt." Alan Wilson thought of this, "If the import of some medicines is too expensive If so, I suggest that the queen learn about the situation in India."

There is a large generic drug company in India. Of course, this company is also related to him. It is a company that Pamela Mountbatten put in India to contribute to the health of the people of the subcontinent.

India is a country that has a characteristic, that is, it only eats but does not vomit, and it is well versed in the secrets of beating dogs behind closed doors. All Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea have suffered under the sickle of cutting leeks in India, and of course a certain big country is no exception.

Alan Wilson is afraid to put good things in India, but generic drugs are an exception, and the UK also needs diversity from the subcontinent for drug experimentation.

In terms of the current situation in the Arab world, Egypt’s transformation into a constitutional monarchy has already made great progress. Why is Nasser famous in the Arab world? In addition to the blessing of Arab nationalism, there is also the reason for pulling Egypt from an absolute monarchy to a republic Credit, never mind what happened to Egypt later, Nasser's era was a remarkable improvement.

At the same time, other Arab countries were still in a state where the royal family kept their promises. The Arab monarchy countries generally began to carry out political reforms after the 70s, let alone them, and Iran’s Pahlavi also started in the 70s. The reform, if Alan Wilson remembers correctly, should have been in [-], and then it was overthrown.

At this time, Egypt is making changes, no matter how the final changes are, it can be regarded as walking in front of the Arab world, and it should be able to calm down many dissatisfaction of the Egyptians.

Of course, Alan Wilson promised that if anti-government behavior instigated by external forces occurs in Egypt, Britain will definitely help at that time, which is half true and half false.First of all, Aiden and Ben didn't know about this matter. Even if they knew, they might be indifferent in the end. Even if they were not indifferent, they might not have time to intervene.

The two queens are open to constitutional monarchy. Anyway, they are both women. As long as they can keep their status and treatment, they don't have much nostalgia for autocratic monarchy.

Alan Wilson, who is running for the country, is running up and down for the future of Egypt, and Jala Khan is also talking and laughing with brothers of a religion for the future of Pakistan.It is no secret that Pakistan has the support of the entire peace religion world.

Don't think that the hostile relationship between India and Pakistan will not affect the relationship between the peaceful world. In fact, the relationship between Pakistan and the Arab world is much earlier, even before the partition of India and Pakistan.

Just after the founding of Pakistan, there is a treatment given to Pakistan by Saudi Arabia. For example, peace believers in Southeast Asia who want to go to Mecca for pilgrimage can directly find the Pakistani embassy to issue a certificate. As long as Pakistan opens, they can make the trip.

Pakistan's armaments were reimbursed by Saudi Arabia, and it started very early. The current Pakistan Air Force was established with Saudi money.Of course, we can’t forget about Iran. Pakistan has a very good relationship with Iran in this era. Iran is comparing with Saudi Arabia to see who is more beneficial.

Pakistan has Pakistan's affairs, and he has his affairs. Moroccan King Moulay Hassan II naturally does not know that the spread of Moroccanism in Morocco is related to an offshore balanced country. He is still asking about Sisala Ha's future question.

"The era of colonialism will pass sooner or later, and I believe General Franco understands this. But the Moroccans may not need to be so anxious." Alan Wilson, the biggest colonist, kept saying that the colonial era would pass, expressing Morocco's The future is still optimistic. "In fact, neither we nor Washington are very satisfied with France. We just don't want to tear ourselves apart with the French. We are also happy that Morocco has its own determination to become independent."

After all, Morocco is a traditional North African power, and its history is much more splendid than that of Algeria. It's just that Algeria fought the War of Independence, so the waist in his previous life was stronger in his mind.Now that France's rule over Algeria has stabilized, it is Morocco that is worried about the comeback of the colonists.

Algeria became part of France, and Morocco became Algeria in the previous life. It has to be said that the international situation is so volatile.

"I just managed to get the two countries to sign a ceasefire agreement, and the Indians said that Kashmir is an inalienable part of India." Foreign Secretary Rabo Butler complained in front of Eden.

Even Aiden's complexion is not good. Mediating the conflict between India and Pakistan is a matter of great concern to Aiden, which can also prove that Britain still maintains its influence in South Asia.

India's move can be said to be quite disrespectful to the United Kingdom, and it also turned his mediation, which the leader believed in, into a joke.

The problem is that when Eden was still in the House of Commons, he was full of confidence in the opposition party, talking about the success of mediation in the UK, and now Aiden can imagine how the Labor Party will laugh at him next time he goes to the House of Commons.This is the disadvantage of diplomatic work. If it was more than 20 years ago, Aiden would have made India pay for this behavior, but now?
