British Civil Servant

"British Civil Servant ( Find the latest chapter!

After all, there are so many Arab countries and the population is dozens of times that of Israel. Even with oil resources, Britain cannot stand on the opposite side of Arab countries.

"The Sultan of Egypt? The thief?" Sir Barron looked contemptuous, not interested in Farouk I, the ruler of Egypt.

The most professional part of this Egyptian ruler is his theft method. Farouk once learned from a thief. After he completed his studies, he would roam various **** and evening parties in the palace, roam among the VIPs to steal, and take the things he got. For personal collection.

His most famous deed was successfully stealing the pocket watch of British Prime Minister Churchill, and finally returning the pocket watch to Churchill because of the British government's solemn protest against Farouk. Farouk also stole the burial objects, including swords, belts and medals, from the body of the Shah's body when the funeral procession of the Shah of Iran passed through Egypt in 1944.

"It has nothing to do with being a ruler or not." Alan Wilson wanted to use the carpenter emperor of the Ming Dynasty as an example, but suddenly thought of Norman Brooke, the cabinet secretary next to him, who was a carpenter as a hobby. He choked back and said, "As long as we are willing to brag, Egypt is a natural Arab leader. At present, Egypt has the largest population in the Arab world, and it has this qualification from history. Of course, respected Sir Barron, we are not one-sided support for Egypt, In the final analysis, it is for the safety of the Suez Canal, for which I have prepared some materials."

Taking the initiative to stand up and distribute the preparation materials in Egypt, Alan Wilson pointed to the first line in the materials, "The first thing we have to do is to cut off the Sudan from Egypt. Once the Sudan is legally seceded, Egypt is in control, and Egypt is a country with very serious shortcomings.”

"Ninety-seven percent of Egypt's territory is pure yellow sand, and only three percent of the land can produce crops and settle down. Currently, 16 million people live on 30,000 square kilometers of land. This number is still growing. Egypt has no oil resources, and there is so little livable land. It can be said that the most valuable thing in the whole of Egypt is the Suez Canal.”

Alan Wilson said this in front of many colleagues, pointing to himself and said, "From now on I am an Egyptian, my country has only endless deserts, and the only places where people can produce and live are the banks of the Nile, just like Pakistan. Sir Lon said that the king is the lackey of the British, if I want to change the country, should I first overthrow the king, the British agent?"

"Listening to Allen, Egypt's congenital conditions are so poor that there really is nothing but sand." Gerald Edward frowned slightly and smiled bitterly. At this time, he expressed his position, indicating that he had partially agreed with Allen Wilson's statement. .

Norman Brooke took a sip of black tea and nodded gently, "Continue to imagine, colleagues are willing to listen."

"They are all Arab countries. I will take Iraq as an example. Since before the war, there have been coups in the kingdom of Iraq one after another. The important source of the coup is the army. If it weren't for the British army in the Persian Gulf, Iraq might have been revolutionized long ago. This time the world war is over. Compared with before the war, we must take into account the infiltration of the Soviet Union and the United States. The military is the most deadly place. If the United States and the Soviet Union begin to infiltrate Egypt, the military will definitely bear the brunt ."

"In Iraq, my suggestion for Princess Badia was to set up a royal guard with Christians. From the perspective of the Israeli-Palestinian war, the Kingdom of Iraq seems to have accepted my suggestion. We can also use it as a positive example to promote Iraq. The kingdom is a secular kingdom that treats all ethnic groups equally. Isn't that great?"

"There are Copts in Egypt, concentrated in the Nile delta." Sir Ismay whispered to Norman Brooke, referring to this group of people who believed in God.

"A new Ottoman army? Louis XVI's Swiss Guard?" Norman Brooke chuckled and motioned Alan Wilson to continue.

"We just hope that this royal guard can protect the safety of the king of Egypt. If something goes wrong, it can buy time for intervention. It is not to use the Copts to oppress the Arabs. I think religious equality is not allowed by any political figure. Openly opposed!"

"For the current UK, the biggest advantage is stability, and maintaining stability is the most important task of the current overseas garrison. We must find a way to send Egypt to the position of the leading Arab country, and at the same time protect the safety of the thief, leaving no one behind. When the reaction fails, it is controlled.”

"The next step is to revolve around the Suez Canal. Even if the king of Egypt is in power, facing only 3% of the available land and a rising population, it is inevitable that he will not hit the Suez Canal in the end. In the final analysis, It's a matter of survival in Egypt."

Everyone, including Norman Brooke, nodded. Egypt had nothing but sand. Even if the king had always maintained a pro-British attitude, he would inevitably be coerced by public opinion in the end.

"For Egypt's current conditions, the main problems are two points, water and financial resources. The problem lies in the Nile River and the Suez Canal, which means that no matter who is in power, these two problems will be faced sooner or later." Sir Lun is worthy of being the head of a veteran overseas civil servant. "The only difference is that the king may act later. Once there is a coup d'etat that we cannot react to, the coup d'état may take power."

"So we try to find a way from these two places. First, we have to strip the Sudan from Egypt, so that Egypt is a flawed country, and it is easier to deal with. On the premise of protecting the king, we can catch the Egyptians in the upstream. The lifeblood of the Nile River, which can affect the safety of 16 million lives in Egypt, is Ethiopia and Sudan. At present, we still have influence in these two places.”

"Building dams to control water sources? Support the Copts to build the Sudanese Guard, increase the prestige of Egypt's Sudan, and help Egypt become the leader of the Arab countries, but these actions are all to maintain the special status of the Suez Canal to the United Kingdom."

Without Sudan, even if Nasser came to power, Egypt would not change. Alan Wilson's suggestion aroused the approval of the British Sudanese Commissioner, "Governor Robert has actually thought about this issue, and it seems that he and Alan thought about it. ."

"Optimizing and integrating, just like we make every colony have flaws, it can only exert its strength by serving the British Empire together. This is also found in the work of British India. I believe that now the old industrial area of ​​Calcutta has been Living up to the former prosperity, who let India and Pakistan be divided."

Alan Wilson's smiling expression of apology caused laughter in the conference room.

Naturally, even if Egypt was out of control, the upstream Sudan and Ethiopia had to do their best to maintain British influence.

From raising the authority of the sultan, to Coptic protection of the royal family, to the water source of the Nile. All exist as insurance for the safety of the Suez Canal.

As for supporting the Arab-Israeli arms race, of course, it is impossible to support a certain country to confront Israel. Rather, it involves the entire Arab monarchy.

It can also be seen from this war that a single Arab country is at the level of being beaten by Israel.

Then the version of the Cold War in the Middle East is simple, pile up the number, Israel has 100,000 troops, and each Arab monarchy has set up 100,000 troops to block Israel together.

As for weapons, there are actually a lot of antiques from World War II in the UK. Alan Wilson remembers that until India hit the Himalayas, the UK also used the armaments left over from World War II to aid India.

"Then I suggest that we convene a meeting of Arab countries in Cairo. Having such a meeting will also facilitate us to manipulate public opinion." Sir Barron said thoughtfully, "Then let King Farouk I~lightnovelpub.net ~According to our discussion today, the first initiative is to initiate an arms race."

"Why don't you attack Israel if you are questioned?" Norman Brooke asked.

"The United States and the Soviet Union support Israel behind the scenes, and the United States still has a peacekeeping force." Sir Barron said without thinking, "All Arab monarchies join in, and it's easy to take advantage of the large number of people and strength."

Alan Wilson nodded in his heart. Unlike history, Israel was considered a victory in this Israeli-Palestinian war. But in the end had to ask the United States for help.

Regardless of whether the United States is struggling with the election time, the United States has indeed sent peacekeeping troops anyway. This is equivalent to personally supporting Israel. Arab countries have no ability to confront the US military, and the US military cannot help Israel to take the initiative to attack Arab countries.

Isn't this a very Cold War-like environment, so using the arms race to launch a confrontation is an option that can be provided.

"Okay, let's end the meeting and go back to prepare a report on colonial mining. Sir Barron, I'll leave the matter of contacting the Arab monarchy to you." Norman Brooke got up and said, "Alan come with me!"

Alan Wilson went out with Norman Brook and left the Foreign Office Building together. Following Norman Brook, he also experienced the kind of reverence from the heart of others, but they were all facing Norman in front of him. Just Brook.

Arriving at the cabinet secretary's office, Norman Brooke returned to his seat and sat down and said to himself, "I want to establish an Overseas Assets Management Committee. What does Alan think of this idea?"

"I agree very much. This is a very far-sighted idea." Alan Wilson's eyes lit up and he immediately agreed, "It is amazing to coordinate colonial resources and promote local development."
