At the moment when food prices are rising in the international community, Pamela Mountbatten came to Baghdad to take advantage of the superior environment. The food of the Kingdom of Iraq is barely self-sufficient.

As for Kuwait, it is okay. After all, the population is really small, and the land conditions in the Middle East are very poor. Once the food price is affected, the Kingdom of Iraq will not be able to save its surrounding friends even if it wants to.

Therefore, Foreign Minister Rabo Butler's visit to the Middle East this time is also promising that the United Kingdom will guarantee the food security of these countries, together with arms sales and food, and Pamela Mountbatten will be responsible for rebates, and will discuss farming and war together .

The royal families of many pro-British countries still have their own properties in Malaya and have purchased many islands in Malaya. Mutual trust between the two parties is also the basis for increasing the success rate of negotiations.

Pamela Mountbatten doesn't care about lifting Israel out of arms sales. Some people believe in the Jewish concept, and some don't. Pamela Mountbatten belongs to the latter.

Rabo Butler's visit this time starts from the Kingdom of Iraq and ends in Egypt.

The itinerary also clarified the importance of these two countries to the UK. It has to be said that in the past year, the British Empire has been sublimated to the utmost, and with its strong public opinion ability, its international status has risen.

In the eyes of these countries, even if Britain is not the unfathomable sun that never sets, it is not something they can afford.

In fact, in this case, in the past, the United Kingdom should show its limit pressure, but Rabo Butler did not show a tough side. During the trip to the British Yemen, he also made a promise that he would The current government is studying the issue of Yemen's independence and is willing to conduct consultations on the relationship between Yemen and Britain after independence and the issue of military bases.

Pamela Mountbatten knew even better than Rabe Butler, the Middle Eastern layout her husband designed.

Take the independence of Yemen as an example. Her man, the supreme authority of Whitehall in the United Kingdom, and the secretary-general of the cabinet are more willing to hand over the future of Yemen to Shia forces.

Because Saudi Arabia is a Sunni monarch, and Saudi Arabia is a pro-American country. Similarly, the oil-producing region on the east coast of Saudi Arabia is the residence of Shiites in Saudi Arabia. It looks affectionately across the Persian Gulf from Iran, a major Shiite country.

This is why later generations of Saudi Arabia struggled with the coalition forces and insisted on suppressing the Houthi armed forces.

Saudi Arabia itself is weak in terms of combat effectiveness. Seeing that the front is being killed by the United States in Iraq, it has become an arc of Shiites with Syria and Iran. Take control.

The situation facing Saudi Arabia is extremely disturbing, and the **** will be stabbed by Shia forces at any time.

Excluding the Sunnis in North Africa and Southeast Asia, and counting only the balance of power in the Middle East, the Sunnis are not dominant in numbers. Sunni countries are countries like Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Jordan.

Looking at the Shia camp, Syria, Iraq, and Iran are all traditional military powers in the Middle East.

The situation of future generations cannot be applied to the current pattern, but one thing has not changed. Saudi Arabia in this era is still a weak chicken. The leadership position in the Arab world has nothing to do with Saudi Arabia.

Promoting the upgrading of the weapons of the pro-British countries in the Middle East, there is also an attempt to contain Saudi Arabia. If there is no problem with the UK, it will be fine. The country can let it eat and walk around.

During the last visit to Cairo, the capital of Egypt, Pamela Mountbatten also accompanied the Foreign Secretary.

As for the speech packaging, Pamela Mountbatten can guess that the Suez Canal is crucial to the security of the whole of Europe. The United Kingdom hopes that the Kingdom of Egypt can shoulder the responsibility and ensure that this lifeline will not be taken by any outsiders. occupied by power.

Of course, the only foreign force at present is the United Kingdom itself, and Rabo Butler is just promoting arms sales, leaking a little word, saying that Egypt's military power is not enough to replace the United Kingdom and protect the safety of the Suez Canal.

The words on the scene are nice to say, but how to maintain this lifeline that is crucial to Europe, of course, is to buy British weapons and become a military power in the Arab world, so that it can live up to this expectation.

Holding a big stick and smiling is the essence of the foreign minister's visit this time. Of course, it can also be described as kneeling and waving fists. After all, the military industry in the UK is starving for food and needs the support of countries within the traditional sphere of influence.

Several countries have their own priorities. Oman and Yemen have not yet officially become independent, and the Jordanian army itself is armed by the United Kingdom.

What can be expected is that Egypt, as well as Iraq and Kuwait, face different countries and have different emphases. In Egypt, it sells ground armed equipment, in Iraq it is the Air Force, and in Kuwait it is the Army Aviation represented by Tiger helicopter gunships.

On the premise of pushing Israel to be politically correct, supplemented by the dream of leading countries in the Arab world, Pamela Mountbatten's kickback method of wielding banknotes and other factors, Rabo Butler's visit this time was very successful.

Brought back an order for 2,500 Chieftain tanks and 350 fighter jets, and returned to loyal London. When the news came, the entire British military industry cheered.

"With the order from India, I think our company won't have to worry about not having enough to eat in a short time." Alan Wilson, who came to welcome his wife back to China, was very attentive. He knew that his wife had worked hard this time, "You give How much kickback did you get?"

"Iraq, Kuwait, Egypt, Oman and Jordan, 20 million pounds." Pamela Mountbatten said with a look of reminiscence, "Yemen has no spare power, and there is no way to talk. The government wants to give up Yemen?"

"I have this idea. I'm planning, don't worry, don't we need to talk for two years?" Alan Wilson shrugged, with a relaxed expression on his face, "If the issue of the Aden military base cannot be negotiated, take Socotra Island as the An offshore balanced base is also an option.”

Socotra Island is located about 350 kilometers south of the Arabian Peninsula, east of the Horn of Africa, at the junction of the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Aden... The archipelago consists of four islands with an area of ​​3,650 square kilometers, and the main island covers an area of ​​3,600 square kilometers.

The island has been isolated from the continental plate for 18 million years, and the long-term geographical isolation has produced many unique flora and fauna.

Socotra is well placed to have the potential to be an offshore balancing base under British rule. After all, it was once under the jurisdiction of British India, and it has long been built as a military base, and together with Aden, it controls the situation in Yemen.

Although the conditions are a bit harsh, the location is very good, so it is the second choice after Yemen's independence.

"I knew it would be like this." Pamela Mountbatten glanced at her husband, and walked home behind her husband with the children, "I've been busy recently, so there's nothing to worry about."

"Actually, India has brought trouble to the United Nations because Portugal set up a minefield in Goa." Alan Wilson sighed, and replied with his youngest son Arnold in his arms, "Most European countries, including the United States, stand on the side of Portugal. , as India's claim to Goa is unjustifiable and can be seen as a potential invasion."

Pamela Mountbatten nodded, but knowing that this matter would definitely not stop here, she continued to listen.

"But the Soviet Union vigorously criticized the Portuguese colonial behavior at the United Nations, which made the Indians very grateful. The relationship between the two countries is heating up." Alan Wilson said with some distress, "It is difficult for the UK to be in the middle. I have already told the embassy The UN ambassador abstained from voting, and it is foreseeable that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will inevitably make an explanation to Salazar in order to express his position on the arms sales order.”

Sometimes it's not that Britain has to contradict itself, but that's how things are, it's a matter of both.

Later generations of the United States also encountered this problem. To counter Russia, they must express goodwill to Iran, and Iran is the main supporter of the Houthi armed forces. To show goodwill to Iran is not to treat Saudi Arabia as a human being, and not to treat Saudi Arabia as a human being. Sunnis don't like America.

The Saudis of later generations are as weak as the current Saudis. However, after the collapse of the military powers in the Arab world, Saudi Arabia has been the leader of the Arab world for a long time relying on oil revenue. It is really not something that can be manipulated casually.

The United Kingdom is now in this position. On the side of India, Portugal's Land Rover car production line is planned. If it firmly stands on Portugal's side, the previous arms sales orders may be affected.

Fortunately, the United Kingdom is no longer the world's hegemon at the beginning. Since it is not the world's hegemon, isn't it okay to abstain from voting?

"Diplomacy is no small matter." Pamela Mountbatten couldn't help sighing. It wasn't long before the two returned home, and they missed each other for a long time. This year has been very fruitful for the female CEO, and only then did she get a generous kickback of 20 million pounds .

But that's not enough, Pamela Mountbatten and Britain's first manned spaceflight expert ~lightnovelpub.net~ take a deep dive into the future.

"You are Turing? The secretary-general of the cabinet wants to recommend you to be the president of the Royal Interstellar Society?" Princess Margaret pinched her waist and looked up and down as if watching. "Now lead the development of the semiconductor industry?"

"His Royal Highness, is it me?" Turing looked puzzled, wondering what the other party's purpose was? In fact, the meeting this time was beyond his expectation.

"You are so old, don't you think about marriage?" Princess Margaret looked at it for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "How can you be an outstanding scientist, who has prepared and studied for a lifetime?"

The next day, facing Turing's complaints, Alan Wilson seemed to be facing Britain in the dispute between Portugal and India's Goa. He wanted to say something, but it seemed that he had said it. It was better not to say it, which was very annoying.

"The princess does not yearn for marriage, but the pressure of the royal family exists objectively." Alan Wilson stammered. The secretary-general of the cabinet even wanted to ask the first two supreme authorities for instructions to conduct a surprise speech training.

For the sake of rescuing Turing at the beginning, can you take over for the secretary general of the cabinet?
