British civil servant

Harold Wilson was silent for a while, "Very bold idea, Alan, will this cause dissatisfaction in India."

"If we don't move, it may lead to another possibility. The supporter of Pakistan is the United States, while the relationship between the Soviet Union and India is advancing by leaps and bounds. If we stand on the sidelines, the stage may only be the United States and the Soviet Union." Alan Wilson imagined There is another possibility, in fact, this is the original history.

"As of today, almost all countries can see that the United States is in an extremely embarrassing situation in Vietnam. Once the US military withdraws from Southeast Asia, the situation of British Malaya is extremely delicate. The United Kingdom may have to pass a military operation , to deter potential enemies, so that they do not act rashly. The war between India and Pakistan, first of all, these two countries are not small countries, Pakistan has a larger population than Indonesia, and India is the second most populous country in the world."

"If the UK can show its strong military power among these two countries through a clean and tidy operation, it can also let other countries see that the UK's strength is still there, and let them put away their thoughts of spying on Malaya. Of course, There are still risks, and there are risks in everything you do.”

Alan Wilson's meaning is very simple, that is, after so many years, you must try your best to sublimate, otherwise people will really think that the British Emperor is no good.

Chapter 370

The goal doesn’t need to be too big, it can be set on protecting the human rights of the Bengalis in East Pakistan. This has two advantages. The Bengalis are also peace believers. Now the colony of Malaya, which the British are trying their best to keep, the main ethnic groups are Chinese and Malays.

Because of the same religious beliefs, the Malays must have sympathy for the Bengalis, and the Chinese and the Peace Church world have no hatred.

As for the Arab countries around the Persian Gulf, another key business, since the last India-Pakistan war imposed an oil embargo on India, it can be said that in this world, India has a worse perception of India than in the memory of Allen Wilson. I didn't have a good time.

The good relationship between Hinduism and the world of peace religions dates back to the period of British India. At that time, British India had a large area and a large population, and the world of peace religions had not yet relied on oil to get rich.The Arab countries are as poor as they are, so naturally they don't have the capital to look down on Hindus, but this premise no longer exists since they became rich from oil.

In the eyes of the world of the Peace Church, India, a big and impressive country, is far more hateful than a certain big country. After all, when nearly one-fifth of the population is a Peace Church, it dares to play extreme nationalism to discriminate against a country that is a Peace Church. only one.

What is extreme nationalism? India during the National Congress period can only be said to be nationalism. India during the period of the later generations can be said to be extreme nationalism. Using a relatively simple example, Indian nationalism discriminates against the religion of eating cows, that is, to blame Although it is ridiculous to target the peace believers, there is a reason for it.

Hinduism advocates vegetarianism, and Hinduism's extreme nationalism discriminates against all groups of people who eat meat. This attack covers a wide range, and Sikhs and Christians are also included in the scope of discrimination.

If the British sent troops to pick peaches when India and Pakistan were deciding the outcome, it would declare to the outside world that the city was protecting the human rights of independent Bangladeshis. This reason can be accepted by the world of the Peace Church.

"Sounds good." Harold Wilson listened to the analysis of the heads of civil servants, and also felt that after India and Pakistan decided the victory, it should not be a big problem for Britain to seize the newly independent Bengalis to send troops, but it should also be considered. There is another factor in India's perception. Behind Pakistan is the support of a certain big country.The British Comet airliner was handed over by Pakistan.

"In fact, the Bengalis are also a large ethnic group in India, but the Bengalis in India believe in Hinduism, so it can be judged that India will not annex East Pakistan. Once it is annexed, it will change the political territory of India. As for the [-] to India We also have a Chinese army in the country that was humiliated." Alan Wilson lowered his voice, "In fact, we have a good relationship with them, not enemies."

Thanks to him threatening a certain big country from time to time, even if he dared to attack Malaya, he would drag Chinese troops to Africa for ethnic cleansing. The relationship between the two countries has been stable and good.

When sending troops to save the Bengalis, the British mainland was an outsider, and the Chinese and Malays had no friendship with India, so there was no public opinion backlash.

It will not offend the Arab countries, so this matter is only on the government's whim. Even India will not annex East Pakistan.

Moreover, one of the supporters behind Pakistan is the United States. The British army dispatched to prevent the Indian army from fully occupying East Pakistan, at least the United States will not object.The only opponents may be the Soviet Union. The relationship between the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union is reasonable even for a confrontation, let alone a real fight.

"Things haven't evolved to that point yet." Harold Wilson was moved. If the India-Pakistan war is going as the cabinet secretary-general said, it's okay for the British army to demonstrate its capabilities.

There are always some people who are full of food and have nothing to do, saying that the prime minister is a Soviet spy, and if necessary, showing the British military power can dispel such groundless accusations.

"Then I will ask the Ministry of Defense to formulate a plan. The plan may not be used." Alan Wilson expressed his preparedness in a relaxed tone, and the Prime Minister nodded after thinking about it.

The classic ships of the Royal Pacific Fleet can transport troops of [-] people and land in the Bay of Bengal, not to mention that Britain still has a fleet in the Persian Gulf.

The Foreign Secretary Patrick Gordon Walker then came to No. [-] Downing Street. Alan Wilson greeted the other party and then left. The Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary were talking about the handover of the Suez Canal. Harold Wilson decided to wait for the general election I'll talk about it later.

This time it was against Conservative leader Edward Heath, who defeated Profumo, after Aiden lost an election and resigned as leader, followed by the resignation of his successor, Douglas Home. He defeated his opponent and became the leader of the Conservative Party.

On June 1970th, the [-] general election began. Alan Wilson went out for a trip with his wife in his arms. He had long been indifferent to the general election from time to time.

The two decided to choose to go around the Aegean Sea. For a long time, Alan Wilson had turned his back on all sentient beings. This time, he took the initiative to accompany Pamela Mountbatten around, which made the richest woman very happy.

When she arrived at the Port of Palo, she felt the vitality of Greece. Athens is a large port in the Mediterranean Sea, and their shipping dominated the sea world thousands of years ago.Hundreds of boats of all sizes passing by, people busy at the wharf discussing life, and wandering tourists.It just keeps spinning.

Between the small islands and Athens is a super large passenger ship, which supplies countless tourists and daily necessities to the small islands, and hundreds of cars can be accommodated in the belly of the ship.All young passengers are sunbathing on the second and third decks, sitting and lying in small groups, as if there is no one else around.

The sailing time was long, and most of the people were half asleep enjoying the sun and the sea breeze. There were only two couples of male and female friends who were full of energy, gesticulating and chatting all the time. From time to time, someone gave them impatient looks, and they were very happy.Standard American style, standard American English.

Alan Wilson, who was covered by a large parasol on the upper deck, dragged his chin and looked at a few Americans. He didn't know what he was thinking. He couldn't leave the sea to feed the fish. After all, it was a special relationship between Britain and the United States.

"According to the current polls, the Labor Party is likely to be re-elected. The so-called youngest leader of the Heath Party has little hope." Prudence and words are like gold.

"Which party do you prefer in your heart? In fact, most of our friends tend to lean towards the Conservative Party." Pamela Mountbatten let her husband lead her, which reminded her of the time when they first met.

"Most of your friends don't like the Labor Party because there is a voice in the Labor Party to adopt a republic. But the existence of their voices does not necessarily mean anything." Alan Wilson comforted, at least during the reign of Her Majesty the Queen. However, it is still impossible for Britain to adopt a republic. Of course, the African baboon may not be sure.

In the 20s, the annual meeting of the Labor Party proposed two republican bills, one of which demanded that the British royal family is no longer necessary for the British constitutional government. Of course, such a bill was not officially adopted. The leader of the Labor Party at that time believed that although he himself supported the republic, However, the time for the abolition of the monarchy was not yet ripe, and it did not constitute the main contradiction of that period.

Before World War II, when Edward VIII was deposed because he insisted on marrying the American Mrs. Simpson, James Maxton, an independent Labor Party member at the time, proposed to add a republican amendment to the removal bill, suggesting that after the deposed Edward VIII, the United Kingdom should start a republic. , when a total of five MPs supported the proposal.

There are probably a few propositions in that small circle at the moment: Britain’s withdrawal from the European Community, unilateral nuclear disarmament, withdrawal from NATO, no longer formulating income policies, state management of all British industries, canonization of thousands of nobles, and complete removal of the House of Lords. Get rid of it.Transform Britain into the last bastion of radical socialism in old Europe.

How could the influence of this kind of proposition expand, although he also believes that it is indeed the peak period of the Labor Party's ruling, and Harold Wilson is very good at elections.

Not surprisingly, the two are still in Greece. This time the British general election has come to an end. The victory of the Labor Party can be said to be a near miss. It won by 33 seats more than the Conservative Party, although it is not like the last time. It won a big victory, but the extra seats are enough to establish an advantage. It is impossible for more than 30 seats to be by-election unexpectedly.

Edward Heath, who should have defeated Harold Wilson in history, did not lead the Conservative Party to a miracle. It seems that the Labor Party will remain in power for a while.

The two who were avoiding domestic noise learned the result of the general election. Pamela Mountbatten smiled and said, "It seems that you are right, the Conservative Party has indeed lost."

"Have you read the campaign proposals of the former Education Minister Margaret Thatcher?" Alan Wilson tilted his head and replied, "In addition to canceling the free supply of milk to schoolchildren, it also cut funding for public universities."

"What's the matter? Is it the reason for the failure of the Conservative Party this time?" Pamela Mountbatten asked puzzled, "But it's not surprising that this kind of proposition makes her unpopular."

"The current disadvantage may become an advantage in the future. Maybe she will become the first female Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in the future." Alan Wilson was also surprised that Mrs. Thatcher was about to step on the brakes on liberalism in 1970, "By the way , If there is such a day, the wave of privatization starts, and it is time for you to go further."

"I'm suddenly looking forward to that day." Pamela Mountbatten smiled longingly after hearing this, "I think Mrs. Thatcher might be a good person!"

Once the wave of privatization starts, it will represent countless opportunities, money and glory, and for those who are prepared, these things are even more within easy reach.

The first thousand and 370 chapters of the Egyptians stood up

"Of course, I don't deny that she is good." Alan Wilson made a pun on his own evaluation of the top Conservative Party, especially when she was still called Margaret.

The trip was not over yet, and he stayed at the outskirts of the city at night. When the sky was bright, he opened the window and leaned out.Twilight has faded.The farm houses and waterwheel fences were blurred and bluish; the apple orchards were nothing but a blackened wilderness; the air smelled of wood-burning smoke in the kitchen.

A bird, alone and not home, twittered dispiritedly, as though startled by the darkness of night.From the stable came the snort and hoof of a horse being fed.

A wasteland looms in the distance, and shy stars that are not yet bright enough are embedded in the deep blue sky.A trilling owl hooted.The cabinet secretary took a deep breath.What a beautiful morning, how good it is to go out for a walk!

"If you change places, you won't be able to sleep, right?" Pamela Mountbatten's voice came from behind in a daze. She knew that her husband had a light sleeping problem in a strange place.

"If I come here again next time, the situation will definitely be much better." Alan Wilson lit a cigarette and leaned against the window. The head of the family did not deny that the reason for getting up early was because of the strange environment.

"Next time? I don't know when it will be." Pamela Mountbatten woke up slowly, and she was extremely immune to this bad check. She was an important member of the royal family and the daughter of the British admiral. After fulfilling all his plans, he now has a chance to be alone with him. Do you still count on the next time?

The British general election has just ended, and the Harold Wilson government has not replaced the members of the cabinet ministers, so it still uses the original team to deal with some important meetings at the moment.This also includes a financial summit in Stockholm, attended by Chancellor of the Exchequer James Callaghan.

The so-called "laws of economics" are shackles thrown by the strong to the weak. A country's economic policies must be formulated independently and according to its own conditions.The most obvious example is that at the beginning of the Bretton Woods system, only the United States, Mexico, Guatemala and other American countries implemented foreign exchange liberalization. Western Europe, known as the most developed market economy, has always implemented strict foreign exchange controls, and currencies are not freely convertible.

Foreign exchange and capital controls are decisions made according to national conditions, rather than mechanically copying certain "theories" or yielding to external pressure.

Soon, the opportunity to solve the dollar shortage in Western Europe finally came, and the coin flipped to the other side, which was the dollar disaster, and the oversupply of the dollar made the Bretton Woods system in jeopardy.There are a total of ten countries participating in this financial summit. Apart from Japan, the heavyweight members are Britain, France and Germany.

France has come up with its own plan, and the Bretton Woods system still needs to be maintained. In order to solve the problem of excessive issuance of the US dollar, the exchange rate of 35 US dollars per ounce can be changed to [-] US dollars per ounce, and the US dollar is allowed to depreciate by [-]%. The Ton Woods system will continue to be implemented.

Federal German Finance Minister Helmut Schmidt, backing the French proposal, believed that a [-] percent devaluation of the dollar was feasible.

"This is not a slap in the face of the dollar, it is obviously a slap in the face of the pound." Alan Wilson, who was about to go home, said to his wife, "After the war, successive governments controlled fiscal expenditures, which forced me to search around the world for commodities that support the pound. What is it for? The UK dare not say that it did not overissue the pound. After all, before the war, the pound was also used as the foreign exchange reserve of many countries, but compared with the current dollar, it is already extremely restrained. Once the dollar depreciates by [-]%, will the pound also depreciate? But the Bretton Woods system is based on the US dollar, and the pound is at best a backup tire.”

"Tighten the currency and reduce the fiscal deficit, can you do it?" Pamela Mountbatten asked her husband, what would happen if the French suggested it?

"It can be done, but the U.S. won't do it. Why do we do it?" Alan Wilson snorted, "The expenditure of 50 U.S. troops is huge, but since the Spring Offensive, the size of the U.S. military has been reduced repeatedly, but the expenditure has not. How much less. Does this look like a plan to cut expenses?"

Pamela Mountbatten opened his mouth to check and found out, Alan Wilson said, "Don't be so naive, don't make trouble, if possible, why doesn't the United States avoid participating in the war?"

The U.S. military does not recycle its armaments in wars. Even if it withdraws its troops, it will leave the used armaments in the warring country. Even if there is a risk of being used by the enemy, it must do so. First of all, it is easy to write off the account.Once all the armaments are captured by the enemy, the loss will naturally be a cloud of fog.

When the U.S. military withdrew from Vietnam, it handed over a large amount of used military equipment to the local pro-American regime. Even Thailand got a lot of it. As a result, the military equipment seized by North Vietnam suddenly armed millions of troops. This loss is a fortune. Confused accounts, no one knows how the US military reimburses accounts.

The United States is the great emperor of the world, while the United Kingdom is just a self-defeating supreme. The current settlement share is largely based on its old capital. With the same radical policy, the impact on the dollar is far less than that of the pound.Besides, why is the US dollar overissued, and the pound should also share the risk equally?

"Wait for the last supper, my dear." Alan Wilson squeezed the little hand of the richest woman. This time, the opponent is not Franc, nor is he drinking soup behind De Gaulle, and he has to do it himself.

The two were waiting for a guest in Athens. The original commander of the British troops stationed in Malaysia, General Scons, is now close to retirement and is employed by the Arab League to train the Arab army.The establishment of fortresses around Israel to replicate the trench warfare model of World War I was carried out by himself for Alan Wilson.

When the two hostile forces are not as good as their opponents, they must avoid entering each other's comfort zone. In the previous Middle East wars in Alan Wilson's mind, after the Arab heavy armored corps was solved by the Israeli heavy armored corps, the Israeli army quickly turned its guns and pounced on the enemy. Next target.Destroy all the attacking Arab first-line troops, and the war will be over.

The Arab world is very large, but among the individual Arab countries, there is no country that can support a strong army in wars. The so-called strong army is not an army that can only fight in waves.

If a relatively weak side adopts the same combat mode as a strong enemy, major disasters will usually occur.Far away, Great Britain faced the Qing Dynasty, and recently, the French army went straight to Belgium in World War II, and was hit head-on by German armored groups on the way.

Compared with Israel, the overall strength of the Arab countries is on the superior side, but the Arab countries have built their armies into one-off armies. In the end, the Arab world can afford to lose in theory, but in fact there is one that cannot afford to lose. The army, if it wants to survive, must adopt the tortoise shell of the Hezbollah model.

Although Ukraine, which also had a tortoise shell, was beaten by the Russian army as soon as it left the city, I believe that Israel and Russia are still incomparable.

After resigning as the commander of the British Army stationed in Malaysia, Scons was hired again to the Arab League to fortify Palestine and the towns bordering the Arab countries and Israel. No matter how elite the Israeli army is, it will eventually fall on the basis of bad battles. It's not about forming a heavy army and attacking Israel.

Of course, Scons gave this strategy a name of containment strategy, and the British intelligence agency carried out targeted deception against Israel, which is the trench warfare of World War I, a combat mode that has long been eliminated.

"The fortification of the border towns has been going smoothly, especially the Palestinian settlements. The local people have a high degree of acceptance." General Scons introduced his work in detail. He didn't use his money for nothing. Work is still very caring.

"Now that the general election is over, we are about to discuss the ownership of the Suez Canal with Egypt. I believe Cairo is ready. The bottom line for the UK is that after the canal is operated by Egypt, it must ensure the safety of this international golden waterway, and at the same time prohibit any country from Melee, since the British army is not in the Suez Canal, no country can fill the British position."

Alan Wilson talked about the upcoming negotiations between the United Kingdom and Egypt, "The question now is whether Egypt can guarantee the safety of the Suez Canal under any conditions. We will use this as the basis and the Egyptian side Discuss. Egypt and Israel are neighboring countries. Because the Palestine issue is in danger of war, from the British perspective, we hope that there will be a solid line of defense on the border between Egypt and Israel, which cannot be broken by Israel. The two air defense towers must be Finished."

As for whether it can be done, anyway, Alan Wilson gave Egypt the blueprint of the Berlin air defense tower. The Berlin air defense tower can withstand the British and American strategic bombing, and facing Israel's attack should not be a problem.

"It can be regarded as our last contribution to the safety of the canal before we leave the canal." Pamela Mountbatten said. The two anti-aircraft towers are on the east bank of the Suez Canal to defend against the enemy from cutting off this golden waterway.The completion of the anti-aircraft tower will cooperate with the surrounding fortresses to contain the threat of the Israeli ground forces.

General Scons expressed optimism about this, saying that the land conditions in the area where the air defense towers are to be built are good, and there will be absolutely no shabby projects.

When the couple set off to return to London, they learned of the results of the British general election. Prince Munam of Egypt immediately formed a diplomatic team, and he personally headed to London for negotiations. Yes, the dream that the Egyptians have been waiting for for so many years is now in sight.

In Egypt, which claims to be the leader of the Arab countries, the most valuable canal is occupied by the British army. Although the Egyptian army and the British army have jointly taken over the defense during the Attlee period, the Mizi flag in the canal area does not disappear for a day, and the Egyptians always I feel that the national sovereignty has not been fully regained, but the United Kingdom has exchanged a lot of conditions, such as the right to garrison Zanzibar, technical support for the construction of the Aswan Dam, and preferential treatment of raw materials.

"The Egyptians have stood up!" Allen Wilson, who had returned to London, said to his wife easily when he heard this situation.

The first thousand and 370 second chapters are different in Britain and the United States

It will be a matter of time before the Suez Canal is returned to Egypt. The successive governments all know that there will be such a day, but they don’t want it to appear during their own terms. However, the Aswan Dam was completed during Harold Wilson’s term. No one can do anything about it.

"Stir up the public opinion and pay attention to several aspects." At the critical moment, Alan Wilson still trusted the family, and when it was time to pay, he had to pay, and asked his wife to pay attention to several issues.

This can also be regarded as a warm-up before the arrival of Prince Munam of Egypt. There is no need to warm up in Egypt, and it is almost hot.

This warm-up and some of the sharp issues that have been raised have aroused widespread concern among British citizens. After all, the general election has just ended, and the enthusiasm for key politics is still there.

During the general election, the Conservative Party expressed a tough attitude towards the Suez Canal issue. Judging from the results of the general election, the gap has narrowed from nearly 30 seats to more than [-] seats. It should be useful, right?No one can tell.

The so-called sharp questions range from the ownership of the Suez Canal to whether the prime minister is a Soviet spy?So few specific groups of doubts.

A few days later, Alan Wilson entered the BBC studio and accepted an interview with the media, which is one of the few media in the later generations that can make a certain big country and a famous big country hostile to each other.

"We all know that the UK is looking for its place in today's world. Today we have invited Sir Wilson, the Permanent Undersecretary of the Foreign Office, to talk about major issues that all honorable British citizens are concerned about." The host Ludwig stretched out his hand He made an inviting gesture towards the camera, "Speaking of Sir Wilson, people may have the impression that he is a serious old man, but the actual image may be beyond everyone's expectations."

"Sometimes I wonder if you guys in the media can experience the love the rest of us have for Britain. We love him and are proud of him." Alan Wilson replied calmly.

"There have been many problems recently, leaving citizens in a state of confusion, and it seems that they can't see the direction of the future. Sir!"

Ludwig smiled and said, "I believe that Jazz must understand these issues. There are many very sharp issues, such as some that can be classified as rumors. For example, some remarks about the Prime Minister. And whether the UK should Fight for the due rights and interests of the Suez Canal."

"The latter issue may be due to my responsibility. I can't elaborate too much, because Prince Munum is currently in close consultation with the government." Alan Wilson said cautiously, "Of course I will use the utmost sincerity. The language that the public understands really answers all the questions."

"Thank you so much. As an authoritative media, the BBC will not bow to the government, and the problem may be very acute." Ludwig took out a stack of papers, apparently prepared.

Alan Wilson was not very nervous. He believed that his wife had filled the trouser pockets of BBC executives with pounds. Even if there were some sharp problems, he could not deal with them too much.

Citizens always need an outlet at a certain time, so as to release the pressure in their hearts. Even if it is Hui, citizens want to know why Hui is needed.

In fact, most British citizens understand that this time Egypt will most likely get what it wants and take back the Suez Canal. However, the private government comforts itself. How can the official explanation be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people?

There is no doubt that the ratings of the BBC on this day will definitely be guaranteed, because they are all heavy questions, such as asking Alan Wilson what he thinks of the rumor that the Prime Minister is a Soviet spy.

"The British democratic system ensures that any group can say what they think, and I believe that even more outrageous speech does not exist." Alan Wilson first defined this kind of speech as the gossip of some small-scale groups.Then he said, "But this is also the preciousness of the democratic system. Of course, we admit that the democratic system is not without flaws, and there are many areas that need to be improved. Such remarks, of course, can be said..."

After singing the praises of our British system, Alan Wilson returned to the essence of the problem, and it is not ruled out that some foreign forces attacked the prime minister.As for who the so-called foreign forces are referring to, Alan Wilson did not answer.

As for the more important issue of the Suez Canal, Alan Wilson shook his head slightly when he heard the host talk about some citizens wanting the UK to take a tough attitude, "There is an example that can be used for reference. The Panama Canal is still under the control of the United States. Isolate the Canal Zone and shape it into a country within a country. But to be honest, the complexity of the Suez Canal does not exist in the Panama Canal, although the Panama Canal is also very important.”

"There is no country that can reach out to the Americas to support Panama to take back the sovereignty of the canal, and the Soviet Union cannot do this. But the Suez Canal involves many countries, from the Arab world, Europe and Asia, from Ireland to the Far East, along the way. The eyes of all nations are on this golden waterway."

"We are not delaying the return of the canal to Egypt, but the security situation around Egypt is not clear. You must know that Egypt and Israel have disputes. Once a war starts. Once the canal is affected, it is by no means a country that is affected by the UK. As the leader of Europe, the United Kingdom may be accused by various countries at that time, so one of the factors in our negotiations with Egypt is whether Egypt can guarantee that the Suez Canal can be maintained in a safe state, even if Egypt is already at war. This is a point of negotiation."

"Of course we all know that Egypt is the leader of the Arab world. This kind of worry is not to question Egypt's ability, but a very reasonable worry. After all, anything can happen when a war breaks out."

First, he stepped on the United States with the Panama Canal without hesitation, saying that the United Kingdom is very conscientious and willing to discuss this issue, and then expressed the importance of the Suez Canal to Europe and even the entire Eurasian continent in a reasonable way. Alan Wilson's sincere remarks , which is different from many Whitehall officials being interviewed, which makes people feel good.

At the Soviet embassy in London, Alexeyev stared at the TV blankly. Ambassador Victor pushed the door and saw this scene. Europe, in the field of diplomacy anyway, this time we must say something fair for Egypt."

"Well, yes." Alekseev nodded vaguely when he heard that his face was cloudy and uncertain. "Out of morality, we support sovereign countries to take back their own things. Naturally, there is no problem."

Although this necessary and necessary interview was very uncomfortable, there were always some reasons for Alexeyev's reluctance to criticize anything.

At the round table meeting held, Prince Munam of Egypt is trying to argue against the foreign minister Patrick Gordon Walker's doubts about whether he can guarantee the safety of the Suez Canal.

In fact, the main focus is that Britain wants to clarify in the handover treaty that once Egypt is attacked, Britain is obliged to protect the smooth flow of the Suez Canal with Egypt's request for help.

At the same time, Egypt also promised not to allow any country to enter the Suez Canal after the British army left.The latter is of course no problem, but the former is a big problem.
