British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1103: everyone knows

A permanent deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs always stays in the country? Will there be a problem? In fact, there is no problem. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not the only permanent deputy secretary, just like Norman Brook is not the only permanent deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance.

Without Alan Wilson, the other permanent undersecretaries will still monitor the foreign secretary, and only talk about their positions on major issues of right and wrong.

Not in London, Alan Wilson still did not forget his job and made some policy adjustments to India. Especially in terms of overseas assets, it is used to connect with India and prepare for next year's big event.

There is no need to hold a plenary meeting, just call the High Commissioner of the Persian Gulf, the High Commissioner of Malaya and the Consul of Goa. The establishment of a British consulate in Goa was strongly suggested by him after he took office as Permanent Undersecretary of the Foreign Office.

India's independence has both advantages and disadvantages for Britain. The disadvantage is that Britain will no longer be able to shout out, and Britain will never surrender until the blood of the Indians is shed.

The advantage is that it can stop losses in time. With India's size determined to be independent, Britain really has nothing to do. The cost of maintaining the colony would be unacceptably high. After all, the special situation at the end of British India could not be maintained for a long time.

When the Indians had a thought, Alan Wilson seized this mentality and squeezed it more, but usually do this?

But Alan Wilson does not deny that India is a vast market. Except for Europe, North America and parts of Asia, India can really pretend to be a powerful country.

Others have what you don’t. This is what is needed. The gap in India’s other resources is not large in the low-human rights category, but oil resources are an exception. If oil can control India’s energy channels, it will be good for maintaining Britain’s traditional influence.

Even if a large part of the hundreds of millions of people are chaotic, they don't even know that they are still alive. Those who remain can also create considerable demand.

The economic and trade adjustments for India mainly lie in the Persian Gulf and Malaya. The two high commissioners are also people who Alan Wilson has a good relationship with, so the three of them can handle this matter. At the same time, we must make good use of the Goa window.

Alan Wilson wants to achieve a win-win excuse, and wants to throw aside the big and colorful national flag next year when India is in a panic next year and ask Britain for help and promise some conditions.

But considering India's credit record, it is still necessary to use Goa as a smuggling window to avoid India from getting too many benefits as much as possible. Isn't India able to collect taxes on formal channels of economics and trade? He doesn't want Indians to collect taxes.

Moreover, Allen Wilson has an understanding of the living standards of Indians and the existence of the vast proletariat in India. In order to avoid intensifying the contradictions in India, there must be a control on prices. Smuggling is a good way to control prices. Assistant to the Commissioner of British India The sense of ownership exploded again, and he was all for the good of the Indians.

"From the Persian Gulf to the west, and Malaya from the east, we exert economic and trade influence on India." Explaining his plan to two friends, Alan Wilson asked, "Where is the destination of East Malaysia's oil exports now. "

"Japan, South Korea, Australia." Richard replied without thinking, "The export price to Japan and South Korea is actually slightly higher than the price of oil exported from the Persian Gulf."

"That's not bad." Alan Wilson nodded, and it is reasonable to price a little higher than the Persian Gulf oil export price.

The distance factor must be considered. How far is the Persian Gulf from these markets? Malaya’s oil exports save distance costs.

The cost of distance also plays a big role. The time it takes for a cruise ship in Japan to go to the Persian Gulf is twice that of Malaya, and the transportation cost will be much higher. A round trip can save half the time. Has the price of oil recovered?

Although the development of Malaya and Japan are in a competitive relationship, exporting oil is not considered an enemy. It is a good thing to be able to export some resources to share social pressure. I am afraid that there is really no other way except selling labor.

"The number of cars in India is only so small." John said with a wry smile, "Can there be a shortage of oil?"

"The number of cars in India is not much, but the number of some gasoline bicycles in some cities is still quite high." Goan Consul Nicholson replied, "This is a very novel phenomenon."

"What's novel, the national conditions are different." Alan Wilson was unwilling to continue discussing this issue. He didn't talk about the idea of ​​gasoline bicycles, it was him who came up with it, which would be embarrassing.

But gasoline bicycles are indeed in line with India's national conditions. For many Indians who considered themselves middle-class people in the 1960s, it was also a very popular thing.

Indians are extremely sensitive to prices. In the 21st century, Suzuki's status in India is equivalent to that of Nokia at its peak. The fundamental reason is that Suzuki is cheap.

This is when Pamela Mountbatten passed through India once, and met with people from the Tata Group. After returning, he said that the sales of cars made by the Tata Group were not good. Alan Wilson gave this suggestion in a joking manner. He was Just kidding.

Alan Wilson has only seen gasoline bicycles a few times in his previous life, and he added a gasoline motor to his sophomore bicycle. If there is oil, it can be used as a motorcycle, and if there is no oil, it can be used as a bicycle.

However, this kind of modification is also very dangerous. Even if the 28th bicycle is considered to be very strong among bicycles, it cannot withstand it for a long time. The frame, bearings, and chain of the bicycle cannot withstand the power of the gasoline engine.

If you change it for fun, you can have fun. If you use it frequently, the bicycle accident will not kill people, but the accident rate will be much higher.

He was just talking nonsense in front of Pamela Mountbatten at the time, and he forgot once he said it, but in the eyes of Pamela Mountbatten, her husband has always been very reliable. When she passed by India again, she really took this suggestion to the Tata Group.

Alan Wilson didn't expect that his Tu Yile joke really led to the emergence of gasoline bicycles in many cities in India.

After all, India is a magical land, and Alan Wilson is not good at talking about the national conditions of other people's impressive big country. He just hoped that Pamela Mountbatten would not spread the word about it, and the executive deputy minister would also save face.

"In short, India is extremely short of oil resources, and pinching the energy issue will help the United Kingdom maintain its traditional influence over India." Alan Wilson said unpretentiously, "Just adjust according to this core. This time Basra At the meeting, Nehru can be regarded as speaking out for Britain, although what he said is the same as if he didn’t say it.”

"Well, in fact, for the Indians, normal trade is far less worrying than managing them at the beginning." John was also the commissioner of the country at the time, and he approved of Alan Wilson's adjustment. Both of them are people who know India's national conditions.

"I believe it will be more worry-free in the future." Alan Wilson opened a bottle of whiskey with a smile, and poured a glass for each of the two high commissioners and one consul.

India is still at a stage where it feels good about itself, regardless of how well-known a big country is.

Indians also have a strong illusion. When this illusion is punctured next year, Indians will remember the benefits of having a child with a father.

The Windsor Hotel in Basra has now become the base camp instigating Iran to overthrow Mosaddegh. Now it is not a question of whether to do it, but a question of how to do it. Even if the United States does not help, he will continue to implement it.

The United States can choose not to help, but if Britain fails to overthrow Mossadegh this time. The consequences will definitely not be borne by the United Kingdom alone, and the United States will also have to pay the price.

"The code name of this operation? It's called Operation Ajax!" Facing the agents of the Naval Intelligence Agency, Alan Wilson set the course of action for subverting the Mossadegh government this time.

"Once the operation is successful, we will immediately regard Mossadegh as a pro-Soviet element, and launch a purge of its main organizers, the Mass Party and the workers' organization. We would rather kill three thousand by mistake and never let one go. Mossadegh's political allies, we will hand them over to To Pahlavi."

The specific plan of the Ajax operation this time was completely arranged according to the process of Suharto's purge of the Indonesian Communist Party in history, except that Suharto's role was replaced by Pahlavi.

When Mossadegh was in one day, Pahlavi was a king with little power, and it happened to be blocked for such a long time. Mossadegh also had to face opponents, and the Pahlavi would be very willing to regain his power.

"Major McCordick, in Tehran, someone from the United States will contact you. Bring the plan directly." Alan Wilson handed over the plan to the leader of the Naval Intelligence Bureau, and said, "This is a manifestation of the unity of the United Kingdom and the United States. The major action against the Soviet Union may be replicated in future actions, and I hope everything goes well.”

If Mossadegh is successfully killed, Alan Wilson will naturally put Indonesia's affairs on the agenda. At the same time, this action can also remind the Soviet Union that Britain is here for real, so that the Soviet Union will have a long memory in Indonesia.

Major McCordick nodded ~lightnovelpub.net~Executive Undersecretary, we also know the importance of this operation. Otherwise, the marshal will not send us to help. "

A day later, Major McCordick arrived in Tehran, met with Kermit Roosevelt, who was in charge of the United States, and shared the subversive plan formulated by Alan Wilson.

"Operation Ajax? Good name!" Kermit Roosevelt exclaimed sincerely. "This time we will show the incomparable unity of the free world."

"That would be great." Major McCordick responded with a smile, "For the special relationship between Britain and the United States."

"Also for the indestructibility of the free world." Kermit Roosevelt said with a smile.

On this day, on the streets of Tehran, a large number of leaflets supporting Mossadegh appeared, pointing the finger at the United Kingdom and the United States, as well as the puppet in the eyes of patriots, Shah Pahlavi of Iran.

When the morning came, Tehran citizens who saw these leaflets talked a lot. Many people felt that the matter was not simple, but they dared not discuss too much. Everyone felt that they knew something, but they pretended not to know.
