"Arafat's speech is still worth copying!" After leaving the venue, Alan Wilson bought different newspapers. Obviously, major Egyptian newspapers highly respected King Farouk I's speech.

Although it is not the gun and olive branch of the freedom fighters, after changing it, it loses a little charm, but there is no way to change it. After all, the king of Egypt is not an armed leader like Arafat who has been hammered by Israel all the time. At present, the Arab League countries still believe that if the US hadn't sent troops from Greece to intervene, the Arab coalition would have won.

In the evening, Alan Wilson met with Syed, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Iraq, and talked about the speech of King Farouk I of Egypt. Syed also thought that the speech was very exciting, and then he kept silent.

Before Said came to Cairo, Princess Badia had passed his breath and knew that in this meeting, someone in the UK would discuss things with him.

"Dear Prime Minister Said, hello!" Alan Wilson opened the door very enthusiastically, and before the other party could react, he turned around and closed the door of Heidi Rama.

It's a black box operation again. Alan Wilson can be said to be very familiar with this kind of work. Even he was not in Cairo meeting Prime Minister Said for the first time.

Even the Royal Guard composed of Christians in the Kingdom of Iraq was suggested by Alan Wilson?

"As I said before, in fact, with Iraq's current strength, it is actually quite difficult to compete with Egypt as the leader of the Arab world. Egypt's population is more than four times that of Iraq. Although Egypt is extremely poor in resources, it can The existence of the Suez Canal makes it difficult for the United Kingdom to give up its support for Egypt." Alan Wilson said of the daytime meeting, "Of course I still think that Iraq is still more capable of leading the Arab world, and this is not just because of its cooperation with Pakistan. Princess Dia's personal friendship, but I really think so."

"Mr. Wilson, do you really think so?" Prime Minister Nuri Saeed asked in disbelief. "It's not just verbal opinion."

"Look at the barren land of Egypt!" Alan Wilson shook his head slightly and said with pity, "The land where people can live in Egypt is nothing more than the banks of the Nile River, which is huge from the map, but what's the use? The kingdom of Iraq is different. , with the two river basins in hand, with its own oil and gas resources, and with the skeleton of a normal country, Egypt really does not have it."

If this was Egypt in the 21st century, with a population of more than 100 million and still growing, Alan Wilson would not have tried to sing with Sir Barron, but would have simply thrown Egypt to the United States for a dashing retreat. .

In Egypt in a few decades, the world that can support Egypt and maintain Egypt's stability does not exist except for the United States. Egypt's attitude becomes softer as it progresses, which is closely related to Egypt's declining food self-sufficiency rate.

During the Nasser period, Egypt was barely self-sufficient, maintaining a self-sufficiency rate of over 80%.

The food self-sufficiency rate fell to 70 percent in the 1970s and has continued to decline ever since. In the 1980s, the problem of food security became more and more serious. In 1980, Egypt's food self-sufficiency rate dropped to 57 percent. Five years later, it was already less than 50 percent.

In the 21st century, Egypt's bumper harvest can maintain 40% of its self-sufficiency. If the weather was not good, the self-sufficiency rate would be 20%. There is no other country except the United States that can guarantee the food security of Egypt.

In Nasser's time, Egypt also had to import food, but the country would starve without cutting off imports. Naturally, he had strong capital.

Although Iraq is not an absolutely livable zone, it is much stronger than Egypt in terms of hardware. Of course, it has the ability to dominate the Arab world. It is no wonder that after Saddam came to power, he began to ignore Egypt and replaced Egypt as Arab. The new big brother of the world.

"Although Iraq does not have pyramids, Iraq has Sumerian civilization. The two river basins are no worse than the Nile River. Alan Wilson pondered after saying this, "And I know that within the Kingdom of Iraq, whether it is at the royal family or the government level, In fact, they are not satisfied with Egypt. I suggested that the British Empire should support the Kingdom of Iraq. Although it was not adopted because of the Suez Canal issue, the Kingdom of Iraq can fight for it by itself. I will help speak at the meeting. After all, the relationship between the royal families, the United Kingdom is still closer to the Kingdom of Iraq. "

Faisal II is still studying in London. Alan Wilson is not talking nonsense. When Crown Prince Elizabeth was married, he also met this underage king.

Although he has not communicated this matter with the cabinet, he believes that the cabinet must have high hopes for the British-educated King Faisal II.

"Why can't the UK speak for itself?" Prime Minister Nuri Saeed asked rhetorically, frowning.

"Dear Prime Minister, what you said reminded me of an unpleasant experience. In British India, it was relatively rare, and I myself have no guilt about the colonial history. For the Kingdom of Iraq, without Britain, today The royal family will not be king in Iraq, and you, the prime minister, are not prime ministers."

Alan Wilson chuckled, "Are you going to let the UK personally send troops to help Iraq to suppress countries in the Arab world that are dissatisfied, and to admit that the Kingdom of Iraq is the leader of the Arab world to be happy? Nehru thought the same thing back then. So did Sukarno in Indonesia. miss."

"Why do you all take it for granted that the UK has to devote all its energy to helping you, and you? Just sit there and watch?"

"There is no doubt that from the perspective of oil resources, the United Kingdom will definitely pay attention to the surrounding area of ​​the Persian Gulf. But you can't expect the United Kingdom to stand on Iraq's side and ignore Egypt, right? After all, it is up to the Kingdom of Iraq to fight for itself."

"If there is no problem with Iraq at this point, I believe it will be easier to negotiate with the UK in the next period of time."

In the end, Alan Wilson made an empty check, saying that once the Kingdom of Iraq has proved its capabilities, future negotiations with the United Kingdom can be expected.

Prime Minister Nuri Saeed said he would consider it carefully and left the hotel where Alan Wilson lived. Before leaving, I glanced at the lady in the black arabesque robe on the shelf.

"Finally gone!" Heidi Rama only came out of the room at this time and asked, "Is it all over?"

"It's almost there. After all, it's cooperation, and it's good for the Kingdom of Iraq." Alan Wilson said Nunu to the place where the Arabian black robe was hanging, "but he should have found a woman in the room. I just don't know this. Under a black robe used to conceal her identity, she was not an Arab woman."

"How many people like you are there." Heidi Rama's face turned red when Alan Wilson mentioned the black robe. The man insisted on letting her wear the black robe to show a vacuum.

"What's wrong with me? Isn't this to cover up your identity, do as the locals do." Alan Wilson stared straight at Heidi Lamar's eyes until the latter averted his gaze and whispered in dissatisfaction, "Then you want me to wear a black robe like you."

"Haven't you tried it before? I want to give it a try." Alan Wilson picked up Heidi Lamar and carried him into the bedroom regardless of the opponent's resistance, "Today I'll let you know the burden of the imperial civil servants... …”

When the meeting was held, the Egyptian people were in a good mood. The newspapers had compared Farouk I to Ali Pasha, but as the meeting progressed, more inside information was revealed.

In particular, the challenge of the Kingdom of Iraq to Egypt's status has surprised many Egyptians. Afterwards, more intense confrontations at the meeting were revealed. Details of the battle between Iraq and Egypt for leadership in the Arab world have dampened the good mood of the Egyptian people.

"The challenge to Egypt by the Kingdom of Iraq has divided the British delegation, with some members tending to support the Kingdom of Iraq," Izvestia said in exclusive inside information.

This report cast a shadow over the originally united Arab League meeting. And this news also spread to the territory of the Kingdom of Iraq, and the Iraqis also knew that Prime Minister Nouri Saeed was in Cairo, striving for the leadership of the Kingdom of Iraq in the Arab world.

As for Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia was a soy sauce in the times, and the world in 1949 still valued military power very much.

Even Syria can be regarded as a giant in the Arab world, and Jordan has a higher status than Saudi Arabia. The status of Saudi Arabia is only stronger than that of Lebanon, and its status is obviously not as good as that of several countries that are arguing.

Egypt has the largest population in the Arab world. Referring to the long-term center of Arab culture, Iraq sits on the two river basins, and its military strength is not bad. It is also the main force in the Israeli-Palestinian war. It's still the same family as the Jordanian royal family!

Compared with these countries ~lightnovelpub.net~ Saudi Arabia has no right to speak in the Arab League. This is completely different from Saudi Arabia's status as a reservoir of petrodollars in the 21st century.

The British delegation was inclined to part of the Iraqi kingdom, in fact Alan Wilson himself, who did not speak much on the day Prime Minister Nouri Saeed questioned Egypt's leadership.

Then Prime Minister Nuri Saeed took the initiative to find the news of Alan Wilson, and it was very natural and no accident leaked out.

I have my own national conditions here, and when major news should be leaked, it must be leaked. Even an Egyptian who stayed at the hotel said that he saw with his own eyes that Nouri Said gave Alan Wilson a girl.

"Tsk tsk, those Egyptians don't know that Arab girls don't exist, but I really have a young Jewish woman here." Ellen Wilson took the newspaper and teased Heidi Rama.
