British Civil Servant

Vol 2 Chapter 679: Princess' favor

It can be considered that he was shocked by Alan Wilson's single-handed approach. King Farouk I pondered for a while, and then blurted out, "Can the UK return the canal to Egypt right away?"

"No! It may break out of war, so the British do not want to see changes in the political situation in Egypt." Alan Wilson refused, "We do not want to see an important monarchy overthrown, because past experience shows that, Governments that appear as revolutionaries will always do some very radical things. It is not good for both countries. I am talking about the Soviet Union. The money owed to Britain and France has not been repaid, and the Soviet Union has also been blocked for a long time. Hostility is also related to the original behavior."

This behavior can be said to have various aspects. For Farouk I, the fate of the Nicholas II family is one of them, so he can understand the psychology of helping this time.

"What else do you say, the hostility of the Egyptian people may exist for a long time. It's not that I don't know the problem, but you UK won't give it. That's the problem." Farouk I looked at the palace maid in the distance, not salty or not. light road.

"We don't want to see changes in the political situation in Egypt, so on the premise of not hurting the control of the Suez Canal. I have a way to temporarily divert my attention. Of course, this requires His Majesty's understanding and cooperates with the British government to play a show." Alan Wilson changed the subject, "Actually, the Suez Canal in the hands of Britain and France is conducive to the balance of the world. If His Majesty the King thinks that this has nothing to do with Egypt, then because of the canal and the oil resources in the Middle East, we will do our best to help The Arabs, against Israel, against Israel helps the monarchs to gain popular support."

"The biggest advantage is that it can stabilize the status of the monarchs of various countries!"

"So your solution is to build a dam?" Farouk I frowned and said, "In exchange for Egypt not forcibly taking back control?"

"Although this is the case, it's boring to say it too bluntly." Alan Wilson did not deny Farouk I's statement, "Of course I believe that the Kingdom of Egypt has relevant talents, and use favorable public opinion to let Egypt know about this matter. The people accepted it. My idea is to do it slowly, give hope to the Egyptians and give the UK time at the same time."

"Mr. Allen can say it bluntly, I will seriously consider it." Farouk I made a gesture of invitation and listened.

As long as Farouk I does not object, this matter is completely discussed. Alan Wilson means that Farouk I will first stabilize the position within a year, and then propose to the United Kingdom to take back control of the Suez Canal.

Britain and France would definitely oppose it for the first time, and then after a long negotiation and struggle, King Farouk I proposed the conditions for the construction of the Aswan Dam to ask Britain and France to provide support in exchange for temporarily not taking back control of the Suez Canal. .

Alan Wilson remembers that the Aswan Dam took ten years to complete, and this project took so long to be considered by the UK for a long time.

Then the Suez Canal will be recovered, at least until the Aswan Dam is completed. After the completion of the construction, it should not be too much to waste a few more years in the negotiations between Egypt and Britain and France. It is already in the mid-1970s.

At that time, Alan Wilson believed that whether to maintain the framework of the world empire or whether it had already been contracted had already achieved results, and the situation at that time should have been clear.

The best result is that Britain and France agree to return the control of the Suez Canal to Egypt. The worst result may be to return it, and it may even be unpleasant, but at that time, Britain and France should not make a decision to go to war over the control of the canal.

In this way, Farouk I can use the electrification brought by the Aswan Dam project to pretend that Ali Pasha is alive. Britain and France could also have a decent exit. This is good for both parties!

Besides, with the current economic strength of Egypt, is it necessary to win the support of foreign capital? The UK can provide this kind of support. After all, it is a matter of making money, and it can also stabilize the position of the pound. The loan given by the UK must be in sterling.

Perhaps there is also industrial support from British Malaya, which can also promote Malaya's exports of industrial products. Generators and high-end machines won't work, it's always okay to provide steel cement.

The United Kingdom has already proved its reliability in front of Farouk I with this help.

When the blood on the streets of Cairo was still wet, Farouk I, who was shocked and angry, finally agreed to this method that could gain substantial benefits.

A king who made a promise, Alan Wilson has no reason not to believe the other party, at least a king is more trustworthy than a politician's promise.

At this point, Alan Wilson has a sense of loneliness as he draws his sword and looks around, who is the enemy in the world.

This tour should be regarded as a successful completion of the mission, killing a pan-African independent leader, resolving Iran's oil differences, and helping Farouk I to clear the Free Officers Organization.

Alan Wilson, who accepted the Whitehall mission this time, can be said to have finalized countless export markets for Malaya by the way. Britain opened a hole in Europe for Malayan exports, while the remaining colonies and protectorates were channeled.

In terms of the population of British Malaya, this market is no smaller than the market open to Japanese exports from the United States. After all, the population of Malaya is not comparable to that of Japan.

At the end of this tour, Alan Wilson can say with a clear conscience that he has given Malaya the greatest convenience under an order that the UK can still control, and he is already worthy of his commissioner position.

The rest is the issue of competition with Japan, which he can't help with. I can only hope that the Chinese are not as lazy as the Japanese. If you can step on it, step on it, and if you can't step on it, you must keep pace.

The country of Japan is like a mirror in its heart about what it has done, but it just pretends to be confused on the surface. And it is certain, whether it is the geese array or the quadrilateral alliance of the United States, Japan, Australia and India first proposed by Japan in the 21st century.

It can be easily seen that Japan has always had great malice towards China. This has nothing to do with Alan Wilson, an Englishman, of course, but his idea of ​​making profits for the United Kingdom naturally cannot fall on a country with an American military presence. At this time, the colonies under its jurisdiction are more trustworthy, and anti-Japanese is also an inevitable choice.

Alan Wilson, who was guaranteed by Farouk I, returned to London on a special plane that turned back again. As for what he had to talk about with Nkrumah before? What are you talking about when no one is there?

Davies' job on the Gold Coast, can't let you go to British West Africa again? They are very busy, and the sticks are rusted.

If it wasn't for Alan Wilson to get rid of this idiot, his wife who already had a life in her womb wouldn't have to leave London, but went to Paris to help. At this time, Pamela Mountbatten had returned to London and was ready to recuperate for two months. Moved to live in Western Australia after London weather turned bad.

A day later, Alan Wilson, who had no rivals with his sword drawn, had returned to London, and he did not even stop in Paris, although as a man, he should be obliged to do so.

He first went to Whitehall to submit a report. He talked about his understanding of the Iran negotiation. He also reported on the recent coup d’etat organized by the Free Officers in Egypt. This cannot be concealed. Even if he didn’t say it, the British army in Cyprus would report it.

This time, the unauthorized action was directly forgiven by Norman Brook because of the success of the result.

"By the way, Alan, would you like to take charge of the Foreign Office after your term as Commissioner for Malaya is over? Do what Sir Ismay is doing now." Norman Brooke smiled and said that I was very optimistic about you. road.

Of course, Alan Wilson received the proper progress signal. He directly expressed a positive response to the care of the civil servant leader, and then mentioned his own difficulties, "The work in Malaya has not yet been on the right track, of course I am very concerned. Willing to return home right away, but that's always not reassuring."

"No problem, I also expect you to make greater achievements." Norman Brook nodded with satisfaction, "You have worked hard for the past few months, take a good rest, or Pamela may embarrass me, an old man who is inconsiderate. ."

"Sir Norman, you are in your prime, but the word old has nothing to do with it." Alan Wilson exclaimed, "Thank you for your approval, then I will go first."

Regarding the make-up lessons for Farouk I, there were only two people at the time, and the only one who knew the inside story, Grace, had returned to Northern Rhodesia.

Alan Wilson did not report. After all, this matter is suspected of digging the corner of the British Empire. Although he is in essence for the sake of the United Kingdom, it is something that cannot be declared.

Pamela Mountbatten's Emerald House estate in Hoxon, because Alan Wilson brought back some cuneiform clay tablets for collection~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Pamela Mountbatten put these historical relics in the Emerald House To collect, I also went to Hoxon.

When Alan Wilson felt that Princess Margaret was there, they were very happy to see Alan Wilson, who had been on tour for several months, returning.

Seeing his wife, he still thinks about Alan Wilson, who slaps his stick and slaps his face. He proves with practical actions that he will never get rid of his bragging in front of women in his life. The tricks of the dragoon sisters are simply tailor-made for him. .

Talking about the contribution made by this tour to the empire, including but not limited to Egypt, Iran and the Gold Coast, Alan Wilson pinched his hands on his waist with a terrific tone.

"It's really hard work!" Pamela Mountbatten knew that her husband's final destination was Iran's oil disagreement, which could be considered to eliminate the hidden dangers for her, "By the way, do you want to see the clay tablet you brought back? I put it in Jade Go get the key."

Saying that, Pamela Mountbatten got up and went upstairs. Princess Margaret moved her buttocks and sat down beside Alan Wilson.

Alan Wilson was vigilant and stared at his sister-in-law. Just as he was about to speak, the princess had already leaned in admiringly, leaving behind warm red lips.

"You're crazy, I'm your brother-in-law." Alan Wilson, who couldn't escape, reprimanded in a low voice, and didn't forget to take a look upstairs.
