v2 Chapter 1480: postwar reconstruction

Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Israel successively issued ceasefire statements, marking the end of this Middle East war, and the armies of both sides have also left the scope of contact. Many voices believe that the reason why the Arab League side is willing to cease the war is due to Israel’s showing of nuclear bombs.

Another part of the voice believes that the oil embargo policy of the Arab League has caused Israel to fall into unprecedented diplomatic isolation, which made Israel give up continuing the war.

"But I don't think so. I simply think that Israel can't hold on anymore. It's really that the southern, eastern, and northern fronts are fighting beyond Israel's strength, and it can't take down those fortresses. Now the war has been going on for two months. Neither side has the power to fight anymore."

Alan Wilson packed the suitcase and put away the things his wife needed one by one. Pamela Mountbatten came back from Denmark to pack her bags and is about to start this year's winter trip, bringing the talent of the richest woman to the warm Perth Beach.

The scale of this war is unprecedented, far exceeding any Middle East war in Alan Wilson's mind. It can be said that millions of troops are fighting, and it is a very unskilled positional warfare.

Even the most famous military powers outside the country are unwilling to fight such a war, and there is no exception.

Think about the French soldiers who puffed up their chests full of revenge during World War I and wanted to fight Germany to the death. They mutinied repeatedly at the end of the positional war, and they didn't know that this kind of war was not fought by humans.

As for me, Great Britain? An intensive charge, the operation of killing 60,000 people in anger, directly awakened the soldiers' romantic fantasies about war. This kind of consequence cannot be tolerated by Israel's total population of 3 million.

"The evacuation of the three aircraft carrier battle groups has never occurred in my memory. My dear, this matter is more serious than you imagined. Even if the Royal Navy returns, it will not be able to control the Mediterranean Sea." Pamela Mountbatten was raised. She was lying in a trash position, half lying down, and giving encouragement to her husband who was helping to pack the clothes with her eyes.

"No, the Royal Navy will not clash with the Red Navy. Who is to blame for this? The Americans insist on showing their fearlessness in a sea as large as the bathtub. The Soviets don't retreat, that's all they can do." Ai Ren Wilson patted the suitcase, "The Red Navy's style of play is indeed very rogue, but isn't this what the Americans chose because they were too confident? Who told the United States to drive the aircraft carrier into the bathtub?",

The Mediterranean confrontation, like the result in Alan Wilson's mind, ended with the U.S. Navy taking the lead in retreating.

However, as the speaker of a military alliance, although the United States has its own considerations in doing so, evacuation is evacuation. It is inevitable that partners in one camp will doubt whether the United States has the determination to fight.

If the German High Seas Fleet during the period of William II had confronted the Royal Navy in this way, the performance of the United Kingdom would not be better than that of the United States. The navy is the life of the two countries. For a continental country like the Soviet Union, it was just a relatively important sacrificeable force. Britain would lose its command of the sea at the cost of annihilating the German high seas fleet.

"Understood, we can't afford to offend the Soviet Union now." Pamela Mountbatten replied lazily, and then got up to express her gratitude to her hardworking husband, and had a verbal dispute.

"This is wrong. In fact, we can't afford to offend the United States. Fortunately, there will be no confrontation between the United Kingdom and the United States." Alan Wilson said as he put down the suitcase.

Pamela Mountbatten gave her husband a blank look, nodded and gave an example, "It's like me, no matter what, I won't do anything to Margaret. I still have to pretend I don't know."

Alan Wilson opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything in the end. A minute later, he was thinking again. It seemed that he should do something just now, but it was too late now.

A day later, Alan Wilson came to Vivien Leigh's home. The main reason for Great Britain's treasure to go to South Asia was to hold an event with the Indian show business circle. In fact, it was to keep an eye on the eldest son David.

"I was born in South Asia, and I still have some memories of the place." Vivien Leigh felt the man's worried gaze, and said warmly in her heart that everything was fine.

"Bring a private doctor, although your illness has already been cured. But the hygienic conditions in India are not reassuring."

Alan Wilson said this, and then came out the document of the British Hong Kong government, "The development plan of Central, if you listen to me, you can secure a foothold in Central and develop office buildings. In the next ten years, it will be Hong Kong's golden ten. Years, it’s not an exaggeration to say that every inch of land is worth every inch of gold.”

Central is located in the Central and Western District of Hong Kong. It is the political and commercial center of Hong Kong, where many banks, multinational financial institutions and foreign consulates are located. Hong Kong's government headquarters, the Legislative Council building, and the former Hong Kong Governor's Mansion are all in Central. Although Xiangjiang is small in size, it actually has a capital, which is Victoria City, which includes Central.

"Isn't it just to develop a few office buildings? See how solemn you are." Vivien Leigh took over the development plan from the Governor of Hong Kong, with a somewhat disapproving expression, "It's rare that you are so solemn."

"A few office buildings? If those few office buildings are developed, they will be no worse than you mastering a large enterprise." Alan Wilson had an expression that deserved more attention than you imagined, "You just listen to me, in the future Just lying on the golden mountain, if you miss it, you will regret it in the future. Take pictures of the site, and I will mobilize people to help."

The 1970s and 1980s were the heyday of Central. At that time, multi-storey skyscrapers were constantly being built in Central, including the headquarters of various banks. In addition, the financial market began to flourish. Many of the main commercial activities of Xiangjiang were carried out in Central. Proud to work in Central.

Vivien Leigh has land in Central, which has been in her hands for many years, and it is very suitable to develop it now. Alan Wilson remembers that an office skyscraper is valued at 130 billion, and it can collect 10 billion in rent every year without doing anything.

You must know that the only profitable subway in the world is in Hong Kong, and the profit model of the MTR is real estate, because when the subway is built, the government will sell the land on and around the subway to the MTR at a lower price, and the MTR Iron can attract investment in these areas, and those real estate developers can build shopping malls and residential buildings. Of course, the land price will double at this time.

For the good purpose of giving Xiangjiang people a way to live, Allen Wilson decided to personally pay attention to the development of Xiangjiang, so he wants to hand over the land in Central and Xiangjiang Metro to a trustworthy developer, and keep it for his own people. Local businessmen in Xiangjiang can develop it residential building. Isn't there a saying that first-class companies sell buildings.

"Is it an exaggeration?" Vivien Leigh whispered, if it wasn't for the long-term established trust, she really couldn't believe it, "Can it be more profitable than London office buildings?"

"What is London?" Alan Wilson said with a low-minded tone, "Once the office building is developed, Goldman Sachs, Morgan, and companies you can imagine will all settle in. You must know that it is a place controlled by the British Empire, even if it is Tokyo. , and cannot be compared with it in some aspects. The future development of United Artists is also easy."

From the perspective of real estate profitability, London and Xiangjiang are really incomparable. London’s land fall also loses money, and Xiangjiang Metro can make a profit.

Alan Wilson still told Vivien Leigh that it is best to attract as many shareholders as possible for development, which will help bind more stakeholders, and it would be difficult for Whitehall to do it alone.

"Don't worry, you are an official, and I won't let you be influenced." Vivien Li nodded obediently. She never thought that she would obey the arrangement of a little man.

When Israel withdrew from the Golan Heights, the Syrian soldiers cheered loudly. Although this was a war that resulted in the signing of an armistice agreement, compared with Egypt and Jordan, they suffered heavy losses from Israel's full output. As a result of occupying a large amount of land, Syria is considered the best performing Arab country.

After the front lines stabilized in Egypt and Jordan, the large Israeli forces turned in the direction of Syria. The armored brigade and the truck team carrying logistics and supplies flocked to the Golan Heights in a mighty manner. They brought all the supplies needed for the battle and planned to take the highland in one attack without leaving any future troubles. Of course, the results are now seen by all countries .

To say that the Arab side of this war feels unfinished, it is undoubtedly Yemen led by Nasser~lightnovelpub.net~ The Democratic Republic of Yemen only dispatched the air force, which is similar to the role of the Kingdom of Iraq.

But at the critical moment when the Egyptian armored forces were defeated, the country led by the former Egyptian war hero Nasser still saved his former motherland.

The Arab countries provided troops, equipment, and financial support to the participating countries, which was beneficial for the Arab countries to seize the dominance of the war, and to a certain extent contributed to this war of mutual losses.

After two months of war, Alan Wilson believed that the tragic number of casualties was enough for both sides to calm down for a while.

"With regard to post-war reconstruction, there is no doubt that the British Empire should hold its chest proudly. The relationship between the Arab League and the United States will take time to improve, and even if Saudi Arabia is willing to play a part in it, it will take time."

Alan Wilson brought Frank, the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Finance, to No. 10 Downing Street, and met the prime minister who was holding a document sent by the foreign minister who was visiting Santiago, the capital of Chile, and was about to exert British diplomatic influence.

The Palestine area is affected by the flames of war. Does the Arab League ignore it? Let the refugees appear, even if they don't care, the UK should talk to the Middle East countries so that they don't become an unstable factor.

What bad intentions can the UK have? The UK is thousands of miles away, and if problems really arise, it is not the responsibility of neighboring countries.

"It is true that the Arab countries should take some benefits. Those oil-producing countries have made a lot of money." Harold Wilson nodded, thinking that Whitehall had a good idea.

"We can take the lead in contracting and rebuilding the Arab countries, and leave a monument to thank the leaders of the countries on the reconstruction." Alan Wilson said enthusiastically, "I think these projects are enough to allow the UK to consolidate its economic prospects during the oil crisis. .”
