v2 Chapter 1011: America wants to talk

In fact, the pure wine bag and rice bag like Farouk I, in a sense, is also a good thing for Britain. 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. What he needs is that Farouk I is secluded, and he will naturally give the harvest after the completion of the matter to the esteemed His Majesty the King.

What kind of image does the king look like? Isn't it still up to the media to shape it? As long as he doesn't do bad things, then there will naturally be an image of a wise and foolish person falling from the sky.

In fact, under the constant touted hegemony of public opinion in the United Kingdom in recent years, Farouk I's wind commentary has already reversed the trend.

As long as the Aswan Dam is completed, and then nominally take back control of the deteriorating Suez Cloud, who says that this mediocre monarch cannot be compared to Ali Pasha? Ali Pasha also failed, Farouk I succeeded.

From the beginning of this Anglo-Egyptian joint naval exercise, the all-round and multi-angle touting of Farouk I also started immediately.

The giant-class aircraft carrier that entered the Egyptian Navy, although it is a knockout product sold by the United Kingdom everywhere, but the 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 Muhammad Ali became the symbol of the Egyptian Navy.

The aircraft carrier Mohammed Ali, accompanied by the squadron of the Mediterranean Fleet, started this military exercise with a fairly large scope. The destination was the Sultanate of Zanzibar, an island country that the United Kingdom chose to balance off the coast of East Africa.

"Actually, being an Arab leader is not that difficult." Alan Wilson received feedback from Cairo and learned that Egypt is now responding strongly to this military exercise, and immediately informed Foreign Secretary Macmillan of the matter.

"The importance of the Suez Canal, of course, does not need to be said." Macmillan also replied with satisfaction, "As long as there is no problem with the British route, the Prime Minister will be very satisfied."

"Except for Israel's declaration of war on Egypt, I can't think of any possibility of threatening 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."

Macmillan was taken aback and said in disbelief, "Alan, are you serious? Attacking Israel?"

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

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

In a sense, Alan Wilson was also the son-in-law of a Jew.

However, Alan Wilson doesn't see it that way. If the United Kingdom is sublimated to the best of its ability to live out the second world, it will exist on earth in a peak form.

Then Israel is useful, and the United Kingdom should fully support Israel instead of the United States.

But now the British Empire has fallen to the top with a knife, and now he should be thinking about self-protection in the restricted area.

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

"But the Israeli side has already raised questions." Macmillan smiled bitterly, "Alan, you know that the Jews suffered tremendously in World War II, and now they have universal sympathy from all over the world."

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

Can Britain give up its influence in Arab countries? It was finally abandoned in history, but the consequences of the Suez Cloud Canal War, if the Suez Canal Britain did not finally choose a war settlement, the United Kingdom is estimated to have to rely on the Middle East for a long time.

In the first Middle East war, in fact, only the United Kingdom itself supported the Arab countries, and all other major countries supported Israel.

Even now, in the entire Arab country, only Saudi Arabia, the weak chicken, is on the side of the United States. When it comes to Israel, Saudi Arabia has no say at all.

Whether it is pro-Soviet Syria, or Egypt and Iraq, which currently have good relations with the UK, they are more prestige than Saudi Arabia in the Arab world. The UK should use Syria as a republic to turn to the Soviet Union to convince the US that the monarchy of Arab countries should be protected.

"Fortunately you are not the Prime Minister." After leaving the Foreign Secretary's office, Alan Wilson finally discovered the benefits of Aiden being Prime Minister, at least more reliable than this Foreign Secretary whose mother is an American.

His chief private secretary Wick, who had arrived in Egypt to meet Farouk I at this time, expounded the British views on maintaining Egypt's Arab hegemony, and congratulated the Egyptian navy for spreading its influence to Southeast Africa.

"Britain has always expressed firm support for stabilizing the Egyptian royal family and curbing the intensifying revolutionary wave." 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 has The UK is unimpeded and does not endanger the national security of the UK. The UK is willing to maintain a special friendly relationship with Egypt. Perhaps many affairs in Africa need Egypt’s support.”

Wick is still very British gentleman. If Alan Wilson came over in person, he would even say in front of Prince Munum that the United Kingdom would support Egypt's annexation of Libya. Anyway, it's just talk, why not brag about it.

Anyway, after the death of Mr. Kadez, the situation in Libya has become a bloodbath between the forces supported by Egypt and the forces supported by Turkey. Libya is close to Egypt's land, and Egypt's influence has greatly increased. There are even rumors that Egypt wants to annex Libya.

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

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

This is judged from the process of the Cold War. Once it is converted to 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 relations.

In the Arab pro-Soviet countries of the Cold War, Egypt, the Free Officers Organization headed by Nasser staged a coup d'etat, seized state power, and immediately led to the Soviet Union.

Iraqi military officer Qassem launched a coup d'etat and overthrew the pro-British government of the Kingdom of Iraq.

As the democratically elected government of Syria came to power, the Arab Baath Party gradually took control of the state power in Syria, and Syria fell to the Soviet Union in an all-round way diplomatically.

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.

The Free Officers Organization led by Gaddafi launched a military coup that overthrew the Libyan government and established the Libyan Republic. Libya turned to the Soviet Union diplomatically.

This is not a purely Soviet country like South Yemen. The result of the overthrow of every monarchy is the loss of British influence and the expansion of the Soviet Union's influence in the Middle East.

The United States also worked hard to save 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 of Malaya has successfully operated, increasing the resistance of pro-British monarchies in the Middle East should be the Middle East foreign policy that Britain should consider at this stage. He even wanted to pull France.

Coincidentally, this time, I took advantage of the Antarctic conference to have a good chat with the French, and the reason for the chat was also American. Because the United States has expressed its hope through diplomatic channels that the United Kingdom will not continue to be tough on the Iran issue.

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

Now that Prime Minister Aiden is considering whether to answer the U.S. proposal, Alan Wilson has submitted a report on Iran ~lightnovelpub.net~ outlining possible solutions from the United States.

After Prime Minister Aiden became Prime Minister, he inherited the previous government's tough attitude towards Iran's oil crisis, and said publicly, "Iran will surely be submerged in its own oil ocean. In the current international crude oil market, Iran is fine, but nothing is different. It doesn't make much difference, Iran doesn't matter at all."

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

Washington's chosen proxy countries in the Middle East are Iran, which is predominantly Persian, and Israel. The weak Saudi Arabian is an Arab, and is not trustworthy in terms of combat effectiveness.

If the British blockade of Iran continues, you must know that Iran is a three-pointed world, and the Soviet Union still has influence in the north. If the Soviet Union takes the opportunity to expand its influence, not only will the United Kingdom not benefit, but the United States will also be affected.

As the blockade and anti-blockade of the United Kingdom and Iran are intensifying, the United States has become more and more unable to sit still. It wants to find an opportunity to talk to the United Kingdom. Continuing can only benefit the Soviet Union, which is not good for both the United Kingdom and the United States.

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