British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1448: Independence of Oman

The latest website: "That's interesting." John Hunter sneered with an expression of watching the fun and not taking it too seriously, and then said, "Speaking of political issues, the secretary, Randolph's son Winston Jr., has ambitions He wants to go to a place that is more suitable for experience in the development of politics, and the reconstruction of Bangladesh."

"Oh? The conditions in that place are tough." Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows, so he said softly in embarrassment, "In the domestic elections, step by step, relying on the influence of Prime Minister Churchill, it is not enough to be a backbencher, go. What do you do in such a tough place?"

John Hunter shrugged and said that it might be for better gilding, and it was easy to be more certain at the time of the election, which made the supreme authority embarrassed, and it was not easy to kill them all. After all, they were the ones who led the British in World War II. Prime Minister, will you end up with no children and no grandchildren? The main reason is that Vivien Leigh's son is still in Dhaka, and he doesn't want his son to do this kind of thing.

He quickly recalled the memory in his mind, as if the Churchill family did not play a big role, and it is not impossible to let it go, "Then try it, we can't stop it. Otherwise, the grandson of Prime Minister Churchill may think that we look down on us. he."

While a few people were chatting, Princess Margaret led two guests in another corner. Two young men with headscarves on their heads were all dressed in typical Arab clothes. They could appear beside Her Majesty's sister. Naturally, they could not be idle. One of them is the Crown Prince of Qatar, Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, who is about to graduate and return to China. According to the grapevine, the Emir has prepared the rank of major general and is waiting for the crown prince to return.

The other is the Omani King Qaboos bin Saeed who visited Britain. Before Qaboos bin Saeed, with the support of Britain, he launched a military coup to put his father on the throne. As for his father, the former king, who had just passed away, Qaboos also came to deal with the matter this time.

"This new king came to let the British army leave Oman this time, how should we deal with it?" Burke Trend asked, "Do we promise, or try to fight for it."

"This king is difficult to deal with, much more difficult to deal with than his father. In fact, our requirements are not too many. The Musandam enclave is extremely important for the smooth flow of the Persian Gulf. The British army can leave from anywhere, but not from Musandam. Sandym retreats."

Alan Wilson said with a wry smile, "We can't afford to pay the rent. If Oman wants to maintain the dignity of the country, what's the problem? Everyone gets what they need. The local population is less than 5,000, and the British army can stay there to help development. The economy will not affect Oman itself.”

It was said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao had arrived, Princess Margaret had already led two guests here, and they immediately stopped the discussion and greeted Her Royal Highness the Princess, the King of Oman and the Crown Prince of Qatar.

"His Royal Highness!" Ellen Wilson greeted actively, and then nodded at the two distinguished guests in the Middle East, "Look at our friends, who meet the standards of all protagonists in the Arabian Nights."

Alan Wilson's words won the favor of the two guests, and Princess Margaret smiled and greeted her well, "What did you just talk about?"

"President Nixon's trouble," John Hunter replied. "Maybe we're a little too concerned about American things, but it's a big deal."

"It's okay, can't the UK care about the US president? That's our close ally. I don't think this matter will end easily and may trouble Nixon for a long time." Alan Wilson opened up to cover his colleagues. , What is there to care about foreign presidents, this is not normal?

The most important thing for a person in the key path of a certain big country is to understand the king, and he believes that the election of the understanding of the king has been hacked. The key is that the understanding of the king is too much like a normal person among a group of American politicians with superimposed buffs.

When American politicians are unable to extricate themselves from the issues of feminism, sexual orientation, race, and caring for infidels, I understand that Wang cares about drugs, cares about white people in the United States, builds a wall, and other politicians fulfill their political promises. Le, understand Wang that is really fulfilled.

Looking at Sleepy Joe, who is currently one of the youngest senators, you don't know what he's talking about, whether he's saying it or not, and you don't know whether he's saying it or not.

Of course, Alan Wilson did not forget the two distinguished guests, especially the King Qaboos of Oman. After all, they came here to eat one fish and two, in order to collect the corpse of the old king who was forced to surrender, and at the same time came to the United Kingdom to discuss future relations. As for the Crown Prince of Qatar , Although in the current planning of the United Kingdom, Qatar and Bahrain have been promoted as part of the United Arab Emirates, but Qatar will definitely become the representative of the local tyrants in the Middle East in the future.

Neither of these two people can be left out in the cold. They must build a good relationship and have a foundation of friendship. Both of them know Pamela Mountbatten, otherwise Princess Margaret will not receive it in person.

Alan Wilson expressed his hope for the maintenance of friendly relations between the two sides, and both of them nodded in approval, "What happened in Yemen, the UK will try its best to avoid this time."

He was referring, of course, to the fact that Yemen became a republic after independence, and the chiefs in the country had to leave their homes.

Although Alan Wilson hoped that such a scene would appear to remind the feudal lords of the Middle East, but now in front of the two guests, it is of course the result of a British mistake, and has been looking for opportunities to remedy it.

Yemen is not a small country in the political map of the Middle East, but a big country. You must know that the Yemen now captured by the Free Officers Organization is not the historical South Yemen, but the entire Yemen. A coastal country of more than 500,000 square kilometers, the land area is roughly the same as that of mainland France.

I dare not say that the natural conditions can be compared with Egypt with the Nile Delta and the Iraqi Kingdom in the Mesopotamia, but it is definitely far superior to Saudi Arabia. Of course, the oil factor must be excluded. No one can compare with Saudi Arabia in this regard.

Yemen's basic conditions among Arab countries are definitely not bad. For example, Saudi Arabia is completely an empty shell. The most powerful country in the Middle East that can rely on its own conditions is Iran.

It depends on whether Pahlavi can survive that, but Alan Wilson is more pessimistic. The more massive a country is, the harder it is to maintain the monarchy. Iran is two million smaller in size and has the largest population in the Middle East. With the same population of Egypt, maintaining the monarchy is too difficult.

The larger the land area, the more places it may not be able to take care of. The population of Egypt is very concentrated. As long as you live in a few cities, there are no mountains and emperors far away. Iran does not have this condition.

"I have something to talk to you about." While no one was paying attention, Princess Margaret whispered to her brother-in-law as if she wanted to sit on a rocket.

"What a formal occasion." Alan Wilson's face was normal, showing the majesty of a brother-in-law, educating the royal princess, bowed his head and said solemnly, "I'll find you tomorrow."

"The dishes this time are also good, especially the fish soup is delicious." After confirming the business, Princess Margaret began to change the subject.

"I believe any country that is famous for its diet can do it. But from a health point of view, fish is the best thing to do quickly, and the older you get, the more you can't eat the bigger fish." Alan Wilson patiently Answer, this is the basic law of eating aquatic products.

The older the big fish, the more heavy metals they have in their bodies. For example, the Asian carp that ravaged the Great Lakes of the United States, at every tens of kilograms, is almost two species compared to the same species in the country of origin.

Princess Margaret had a good time this time. The fish soup was made from tilapia shipped from Lake Victoria in Africa, and the local high commissioner was in a hurry.

"It's better to meet when Lafite is famous." Princess Margaret was still thinking, saying that French red wine is no better than red wine from other countries.

"But Lafite Castle is well-known, and we hope that this kind of thing can be enjoyed by the royal families." Unconsciously, Alan Wilson and his sister-in-law had left the sight of the two Middle Eastern guests, and they didn't forget to look when they spoke. Look at what the two people with a lot of money are doing.

The supreme authority has resolutely maintained the honor of the French brand, not because he attached great importance to this dubious ally, but because the Lafite Castle has been taken by Heidi Rama and Ingrid Bergman and his wife on the same level. The lady bought it, and he couldn't stand Lafite's reputation being tarnished.

Alan Wilson of course supports the actions of the two female presidents. After all, this thing is not like other industries, and the threat of nationalization of high-quality things is less. If it is other industries in France, he is really afraid that France will directly nationalize it as it sees that it is developing well.

In fact, the two French culture disseminators can try it in the field of France and the compulsion. After all, it is a country that can receive IQ tax on handicraft products, which should not be underestimated.

Two days later, the United Kingdom and Oman officially started negotiations on the construction of a new relationship. King Qaboos bin Said of Oman and Minister of Foreign Affairs Patrick, discussed the economic development cooperation between the two countries and the issue of sovereignty. The British insistence on retaining the military base in the Oman enclave has become the focus of the confrontation between the two sides.

The Musandam enclave is separated by the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom has no way to seize Oman, but Alan Wilson did not use this to threaten the King of Oman, but pointed out the enclave in the enclave.

In Madha state, there is an area called Nahwa, which belongs to the Emirate of Sharjah. In this way, Madha State in Oman is surrounded by the UAE, while Nahwa in the United Arab Emirates is surrounded by Madha State in Oman.

If the United Kingdom does not want to leave, it can negotiate with the United Arab Emirates. UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com will continue to maintain a military presence in this enclave without Oman's consent.

Talking about military issues with Oman now is to find a solution acceptable to both countries with sincerity, which shows the sincerity of the United Kingdom.

After consideration, King Qaboos bin Saeed of Oman no longer insisted that the British army must all withdraw. Musandam is indeed separated by the Emirate of Sharjah and does not border Oman. This enclave is indeed extremely important in terms of military value. , in exchange for the British army to leave most of the land in Oman, it can not be regarded as a failure.

Then there will be no problem, Alan Wilson reported the matter to the Prime Minister, and Harold Wilson then signed a joint declaration with Qaboos bin Said, which will start the withdrawal of British troops in Oman next year, Move to Musandam enclave and hand over other military bases to Oman.

This treaty clarifies that Oman will no longer be a British protectorate, and the two countries will maintain equal relations and adopt a cooperative attitude to safeguard each other's interests on the Middle East issue. In terms of economic and trade cooperation, Oman of course also recognizes the value of the British pound and considers it to be a necessary factor for Oman's economic development, based on which to carry out economic cooperation.
