v2 Chapter 1011: america wants to talk

In fact, the pure wine and rice bag of Farouk I is also a good thing for Britain in a sense. At least there is no resistance to the British support policy, a lazy monarch, as long as he does not interfere with the British plan.

When it's time to reap the fruits, Alan Wilson will naturally not forget the thief king. All he needs is that Farouk I stay in seclusion, and he will naturally give the harvest after the completion of the matter to His Majesty the King.

What kind of image is the king? Doesn't it depend on how the media portrays it? As long as he doesn't do bad things, there will naturally be an image of great wisdom and foolishness descending from the sky.

In fact, under the continuous touting of the hegemony of public opinion in the UK in recent years, Farouk I's reputation has shown a trend of reversal.

As long as the Aswan Dam is completed and the control of the Suez cloud deterioration is taken back in name, who said that this mediocre monarch cannot be comparable to Ali Pasha? Ali Pasha failed, Farouk I succeeded.

Starting from this Anglo-Egyptian joint naval exercise, the all-round and multi-angle praise of King Farouk I also started immediately.

Although the Giant-class aircraft carrier that entered service in the Egyptian Navy is an obsolete product sold by the UK everywhere, its tonnage will not deceive people.

This is indeed the first 10,000-ton warship received by the Egyptian Navy in a century, which is a milestone.

And this aircraft carrier received by the Egyptian Navy was naturally named after Ali Pasha, the ancestor of Farouk I. The aircraft carrier Mohammed Ali became the symbol of the Egyptian Navy.

The Aircraft Carrier Mohammad Ali, accompanied by the squadron of the Mediterranean Fleet, started this military exercise with a relatively large scope. The destination is the Sultanate of Zanzibar, an island country chosen by the United Kingdom as an offshore balance in East Africa.

"Actually, it's not that difficult to be an Arab leader." Alan Wilson received the feedback from Cairo and learned that Egypt had a strong response to this military exercise, so he immediately informed Foreign Secretary Macmillan about it.

"Naturally, there is no need to say much about the importance of the Suez Canal." McMillan also replied quite satisfied, "As long as there are no problems with the British route, the Prime Minister will be very satisfied."

"Apart from Israel declaring war on Egypt, I can't think of any possibility that could threaten the Suez Canal." Alan Wilson replied after thinking for a long time, "It seems that we need a plan to attack Israel for the record."

McMillan was taken aback and said in disbelief, "Allen, are you serious? Attacking Israel?"

"Just for the record, my dear minister, the battle plan needs to take into account the worst outcome." Alan Wilson responded flatly, "In order to safeguard the national interests of the United Kingdom, a red line must and must be drawn. If Israel makes a move that endangers the Suez Canal , should be counterattacked by the UK, of course we do not want this possibility.”

What surprised Macmillan was that the Mountbatten family had links to the Jews.

In a sense, Alan Wilson is also the son-in-law of the Jewish people.

But Alan Wilson doesn't think so. If the United Kingdom tries its best to live out its second life, it will exist on the earth at its peak.

Then Israel is useful, and Britain should replace the United States to fully support Israel.

But now that the British emperor has fallen to the top, he should be thinking about protecting himself in the restricted area.

The Suez Canal is unchangeable in Egypt. To ensure that this extremely important lifeline to the United Kingdom does not go wrong, the United Kingdom must stand behind Egypt, and even if it is not firm, it must be partially inclined to Egypt.

"But the Israeli side has raised doubts." McMillan smiled wryly, "Alan, you know that the Jews suffered tremendously during World War II, and now they have received widespread sympathy from all countries in the world."

"I didn't see that the relationship between the Soviet Union and Syria is so good." Alan Wilson said as if you should lie to me, "Dear minister, in this matter, the interests of Britain and our close allies do not overlap. In the current situation, once Britain offends Arab countries, the Soviet Union will try to replace Britain. Large-scale wars cannot occur in the Middle East, and the state of war is an excellent soil for the spread of Soviet ideas. I hope the United States also understands this.”

Can Britain give up its influence in Arab countries? In history, it was finally given up, but the consequences of the Suez Canal War, if the Suez Canal was not the final choice of the UK to resolve the war, the UK is estimated to have to rely on the Middle East for a long time.

In the first Middle East war, in fact, only Britain supported the Arab countries, and other major powers supported Israel.

Even now, in the entire Arab country, only Saudi Arabia, the weak chicken, is on the side of the United States. On the Israeli issue, Saudi Arabia has no say at all.

Whether it is Syria, which is pro-Soviet, or Egypt and Iraq, which have good relations with the United Kingdom, they are more prestigious than Saudi Arabia in the Arab world. protected.

"Fortunately, you are not the prime minister." Leaving the office of the foreign secretary, Alan Wilson finally discovered the benefits of Aiden being the prime minister, at least more reliable than the foreign secretary whose mother is an American.

His chief private secretary, Wick, had already arrived in Egypt to meet Farouk I, expounded Britain's views on maintaining Egypt's Arab hegemony, and congratulated the Egyptian navy on spreading its influence to southeast Africa.

"Britain has always expressed firm support for stabilizing the Egyptian royal family and curbing the intensifying wave of revolution." When Wick met Prince Munam, an important figure in the Egyptian royal family, "Britain will leave Egypt sooner or later. As long as the Suez Canal is The United Kingdom is unimpeded and will not endanger the national security of the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom is willing to maintain a special friendly relationship with Egypt. Maybe many affairs in Africa still need Egypt's support."

Wick still has a very British gentlemanly demeanor. If Alan Wilson came over in person, he would even rush to Prince Munam and say that Britain would support Egypt's annexation of Libya. Anyway, it was just talk, why not brag about it.

Anyway, after Kadazuo's death, the situation in Libya has become a fight between the forces supported by Egypt and the forces supported by Turkey. Libya is close to the land of Egypt, Egypt's influence has greatly increased, and there are even rumors that Egypt will annex Libya.

Libya is indeed a good target for annexation, with a population of only a few million, rich oil resources, and a large book territory. The famous soft persimmon in North Africa, but Card Dazuo's sense of presence is too high, making some countries mistakenly think that Libya's strength is not bad.

Alan Wilson bet the influence of Britain in the Arab countries on the monarchy.

This is judged from the process of the Cold War. Once it becomes a republic, considering the existence of Israel, even if the Soviet Union cannot transplant its own system, the republic will show a certain degree of pro-Soviet.

Among the pro-Soviet Arab countries of the Cold War, Egypt, where the Freedom Officers Organization headed by Nasser launched a coup, seized state power, and then led to the Soviet Union.

Iraqi military officer Qassem launched a coup and overthrew the pro-British government of the Kingdom of Iraq, and Iraq fell diplomatically to the Soviet Union.

As the Syrian democratically elected government came to power, the Arab Ba'ath Party gradually took control of the state power in Syria, and Syria's diplomacy fell to the Soviet Union in an all-round way.

Algeria won the war of national liberation, the Soviet Union and the Algerian government established diplomatic relations, and most of the weapons and equipment of the Algerian army were made by the Soviet Union.

Gaddafi led the Free Officers Organization launched a military coup, overthrew the Kingdom of Libya government, the establishment of the Libyan Republic. Libya turned to the Soviet Union diplomatically.

This is not counting the pure Soviet system of South Yemen. The result of the overthrow of every monarchy is the loss of British influence and the expansion of Soviet influence in the Middle East.

The United States also tried its best to keep Saudi Arabia, and lost Iran during the period, which almost caused the collapse of the United States' layout in the Middle East.

Now that the industrial base in Malaya has been successfully operated, increasing the resistance of the pro-British monarchy in the Middle East~lightnovelpub.net~ should be the Middle East foreign policy that Britain should consider at this stage. He even wanted to pull on France.

Coincidentally, this time, I used the Antarctic Conference to have a good chat with the French, and the reason for the chat also had American factors. Because the United States has expressed through diplomatic channels that it hopes that Britain will stop being tough on the Iran issue.

Washington is willing to mediate on the Iranian oil crisis and come up with a fair plan to preserve Britain's interests.

Now Prime Minister Eden is considering whether to respond to the US proposal. Alan Wilson has submitted a report on the Iran issue, listing possible solutions from the US.

After Prime Minister Eden became Prime Minister, he inherited the previous government’s tough attitude towards the Iranian oil crisis, and publicly said, “Iran will be submerged in its own ocean of oil. In the current international crude oil market, it’s okay if there is Iran. It doesn't make much difference, Iran doesn't matter at all."

However, the British sanctions have already made Washington feel that the situation in Iran seems to be becoming more delicate.

Washington's chosen proxy countries in the Middle East are Persian-dominated Iran and Israel. The weakling Saudi is an Arab and not trustworthy in terms of combat effectiveness.

If the British blockade of Iran continues, we must know that Iran is divided into three parts of the world, and the influence of the Soviet Union still exists in the north. If the Soviet Union takes the opportunity to expand its influence, not only the United Kingdom will not benefit, but the United States will also be affected.

As the blockade and anti-blockade of the United Kingdom and Iran intensified, the United States has become more and more restless. It wants to find an opportunity to talk to the United Kingdom. If it continues, it will only benefit the Soviet Union, and it will be detrimental to both Britain and the United States.

Prime Minister Eden is now under a lot of pressure from Washington, and the firm attitude of sanctions at the beginning has also become loose.
