"If I deal with this matter, I may take a soft approach to negotiate with Iran." Alan Wilson said with a wry smile when he heard about the Mountbatten Oil Company, "Dear Sir, you have to give me authorization. Is it?"

"It's been two years since the troubles, and Washington has a conservative attitude towards the issue of Iran. Not to mention the Soviet Union in the north of Iran." Norman Brooke pondered for a while, "The country attaches great importance to Iran's interests."

"I understand, but I think it's not impossible to share the benefits. It's just tied to the British pound." Alan Wilson thought for a while and said, "This is my personal opinion."

"Petro sterling, you mentioned this in your assessment report a few years ago. The circulation of sterling is guaranteed through the circulation of oil." Norman Brooke knew what Alan Wilson was thinking, and hesitated, "I It has to be considered.”

It has been several years since Iran wants to change the distribution of profits. It was after the First World War that Britain gradually realized the value of the Persian Gulf region. And through state power to enter Iran for oil exploration.

The Persians were dissatisfied with the terms of the oil exploration rights signed with the Anglo-Persian Oil Company, from which Persia could only obtain 16% of the net profit. After the Second World War, when Persia changed its name to Iran, which devastated Britain, Iran's nationalist leaders became increasingly influential, seeking to reduce foreign interference in Iran in the long run, especially the oil-exploitation patents that Britain acquired. The wealth that Iran could have plundered was plundered.

The British-controlled Anglo-Iranian oil company has refused to allow others to audit its accounts, the Iranian government has no way of knowing whether Anglo-Iranian oil companies are paying as promised, and the British intransigence has angered the Iranian people.

It was against this background that Mossadegh came to power and clashed with Britain over the oil issue.

Alan Wilson, who came home with trouble, mentioned to Pamela Mountbatten that he himself had taken on a major new burden.

"My dear, I'm so sorry!" Pamela Mountbatten said apologetically, "the problem did arise for me."

"Without you entering the Persian Gulf, the same thing would have happened." Alan Wilson shook his head slightly, leaning on the sofa tiredly, "The root source is Aramco in the United States and Saudi Arabia, and the profits are divided equally. The company's distribution is that Iran is only 16%. After you entered Iraq, you signed a contract according to the Aramco model. It is normal for Iran to be dissatisfied, but the root cause is not you."

So to speak, Britain and Iran have been fighting for an entire year over the distribution of profits from oil. Both countries have already paid the price, and it would be best if the problem could be resolved peacefully.

"Is there a way?" Pamela Mountbatten waited for a while and couldn't help but ask.

"We still have to find a solution from the Imperial Preferential System. The embargo on Iran has been going on for almost half a year. The output of the local refinery is also plummeting, and the cumulative layoff exceeds 10,000." Alan Wilson opened his eyes and tilted his head to look at his wife. Said, "The most important raw materials in the embargo are sugar and steel, what do you think?"

"I have iron ore in my hand, and one of the pillar industries you plan in Malaya is sugar production." Pamela Mountbatten's eyes lit up and she said in surprise, "You need to use these two embargoed raw materials and Iran Don't people talk about it?"

"Well, from the UK's point of view, stability is more important than everything else. If we can negotiate a good result. Of course, it is the best." Alan Wilson nodded, "But can I show the presence of the Royal Navy first? To talk to the Iranians."

"I told my father!" Pamela Mountbatten stood up at once and was about to go out, but was stopped by Alan Wilson, who was not in a hurry on such a day.

Now that this burden has fallen on Alan Wilson, he must make an assessment of the current situation and clarify the bottom line of this negotiation. The first is to obtain data, which of course must be obtained from Whitehall.

The oil wells with the best quality and the lowest drilling cost in Iran are on the west coast of the Persian Gulf. Just as Saudi Arabia's oil is distributed on the east coast, the oil of the two countries is located on both sides of the Persian Gulf.

Other areas of the two countries are not without oil resources, but compared with the oil resources on both sides of the Persian Gulf, the cost is too high. Saudi oil is in American hands, at least the vast majority. Iran's is in British hands.

Not just Iran, but also Iraq, Kuwait and Oman. It seems that the UK is ahead of the US when it comes to influence across the Persian Gulf. What puzzled Alan Wilson is, why did he leave a Saudi for the United States?

Of course, the problem of Saudi Arabia is not a top priority. After all, this country is not a traditional military power. As long as the UK maintains its influence in the entire Arab world, with countries like Egypt and Iraq supporting it, the Arab world will not be able to count on Saudi Arabia.

The leader of the Arab world, Egypt during Nasser's time, and Iraq under Saddam after Nasser's death. When Saddam was dealt with by the United States, the Arab world would have the final say in Saudi Arabia, the oil kingdom.

Alan Wilson, who returned to Whitehall again, sat in front of Norman Brooke again. The cabinet secretary looked at Alan Wilson from top to bottom with searching eyes, and coughed softly, "Why, don't rush back to Kuala Lumpur. already."

"Dear Sir, I want to find a solution for my wife, of course, this is consistent with the goals of the British Empire." Alan Wilson said with a wry smile, "And this is not irrelevant to me, I am the deputy of the Overseas Assets Management Committee. Secretary-General, all matters involving the overseas assets of the British Empire concern me."

"Very good!" Norman Brooke nodded approvingly, "It is very admirable that you have such an understanding. Although I don't know how your wife organized an exploration team to search for something in the North Sea."

Of course, it is to search for oil, use it as the resource reserve of the UK itself, and then lead the establishment of the OPEC cartel.

However, this matter is not a word, and now even the shadow of North Sea oil has not been found, Alan Wilson naturally can't say it, shaking his head and said, "I won't ask about Pamela, after all, exploration is a failure rate. As for Gao, she has been very lucky in recent years, even if she suffers a little setback."

OPEC, also known as the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, is the earliest and most influential raw material producer and exporter in the Third World. Oil is the most important energy source in the post-war world.

The main purpose of the establishment is to deal with it naturally. The exploration, exploitation and sales are almost all controlled by the western oil monopoly consortium.

But whoever said that this organization can't enter the UK, as long as the UK proposes first, the UK can be the founding country. And OPEC did not show much power at all before the oil crisis. As long as the UK joins early, Alan Wilson does not believe that the US can still kick the UK out.

Norman Brooke also accepted Alan Wilson's rhetoric. After all, there is no company that can dig out oil in a random place. It's too magical.

In this conflict in Iran, Norman Brooke was handed over to Alan Wilson, and it was said that whoever caused the trouble would solve it. After all, Mountbatten Oil's contract in the Kingdom of Iraq was a very shameful move to be seen by the Iranians. . The dissatisfaction caused by the Iranian government can indeed be counted on the Mountbatten family.

"Dear Sir, I'm going to the major colonies, and I can talk to the Iranians only after I get first-hand information." Alan Wilson agreed to the Iranian oil crisis, "and now there is a voice in Nigeria for autonomy , and on the Egyptian side, I want to find out the current situation of the colonies and allies, so that I can talk to the Iranians. See if I can make up for it with some raw materials. After all, Iran is not a country like the Soviet Union and China. It is unrealistic to expect that all resources exist in one's own country."

"Yeah, there is a call for self-government in Nigeria. It is indeed a trouble." Norman Brooke nodded, and the troubles came one after another. It seemed that just like His Majesty's deteriorating body, Britain was facing more and more problems. .

Although not superstitious, Norman Brooke put an end to the idea, and His Majesty the King had passed away. Does this association mean that the UK is doomed?

Leaving Whitehall this time, Alan Wilson took the trouble into his arms and opened a copy of Wipe his Wife~lightnovelpub.net~ He will go to British Africa in the name of the Deputy Secretary General of the Overseas Assets Management Committee. Circle, after a circle, go to Egypt, and finally arrive in Iran for negotiation.

On the way home, Alan Wilson was still thinking about the favorable conditions that he could borrow. The most favorable condition is of course the Imperial Preferential System. After all, many raw materials are controlled, which is of course a favorable condition.

"To go to so many places, dear, because the company's affairs are really hard for you." Pamela Mountbatten heard that her husband had officially accepted the task of negotiating with the Iranians, and gave a long kiss very distressed. .

"It's nothing, just turn around to see where there is a problem. I always keep my eyes on Malaya, and I don't know about the problems of other colonies. This is also a good opportunity." Alan Wilson naturally couldn't show his timidity in front of his wife, and he thought There is no certainty at all, but it is able to make the appearance of arrogance and dry cloud.

He does not need to go to the colonies in the name of initiating an investigation. All colonial commissioners are also members of the Overseas Assets Management Committee. He is also the deputy secretary-general. This excuse cannot deceive others. It is more appropriate to use the excuse of the Olympics.

What the Prime Minister's Cabinet Secretary, at a critical moment, the firefighter is still him Alan Wilson.
