v2 Chapter 674: Anglo-Iranian Reconciliation

When the external turmoil continued, Alan Wilson was also communicating with London, talking about the filing after the short-term settlement, and also seeking the support of other countries.

Of course, the British Empire before World War II had such strength, but now it really does not. The filing is that if the negotiation is successful this time, after the short-term settlement plan is completed, an integrated oil company that binds European countries will be established to replace it. Anglo-Iranian Oil Company.

This company can include France, Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium, even Portugal and Spain, and even all European countries. Even a final British victory in this Iranian nationalization campaign would be enough to make other countries realize the fragility of oil supplies in the Middle East.

In the face of this vulnerability, on the one hand, it is to change the distribution of profits, and on the other hand, it needs to strengthen the strength of its own side.

The UK can lead all European countries that are interested in ensuring oil security, establish an international consortium representing Europe, lead the establishment of the National Iranian Oil Company, and operate this new oil company in the way of Aramco.

The National Iranian Oil Company nominally obtains the right to use all facilities, oil wells and equipment, but the operating company has all the exclusive right to use it.

Let the Iranian government reach an agreement with the international oil capital, and the National Iranian Oil Company, as the owner, employs an international oil consortium composed of, Britain, France and other European countries as the contractor to control the production and sales of Iranian oil.

The international oil consortium signed an agreement with the Iranian government: the international oil consortium took over the oil exploration, production and sales rights of the British-Iranian Oil Company, and handed over half of the profits to Iran.

In this way, the United Kingdom can bind all European countries and establish an oil system with the United Kingdom as the core. Once this system is established, it is now only for Iran, and it can be extended to all Middle East oil-producing countries in the future.

I dare not say that it will be able to block the petrodollar that has not yet appeared, but through the bundling of oil interests, the United Kingdom is at least the status of the euro. In fact, it is much more confident than the euro. The euro of the later generations occupies the world's settlement share, not as much as the pound in 1952.

In the telegram, Alan Wilson re-emphasized the importance of the Middle East, and Whitehall gave an affirmative answer. He also said that regarding the Middle East air transfer station plan, Alan Wilson could talk to the local chiefs, and if he didn’t understand anything, ask Pakistan directly. Lun.

For his former boss, Sir Barron, this period of time can be said to have broken his leg for the sake of his former assistant.

When he was in New Delhi, he never imagined that one day, he and Alan Wilson's characters would be in different positions, running back and forth for each other.

But fate is so wonderful, there is no doubt that since the marriage, Alan Wilson's career has entered the fast lane, and he has become more and more valued by Whitehall.

However, Alan Wilson still expressed humility in front of his former boss. When the two Englishmen in Arabian robes met, they were shocked by each other's dress and couldn't help laughing.

"How was your talk with Mossadegh?" Sir Barron shook his turban and asked the former assistant's progress.

"It's hard to say, I hope everything goes well." Alan Wilson shook his head slightly, cautiously at the same time expressing hope for everything to go well, and then asked instead, "Sir Barron, how are you doing? Whitehall let me know, but I don't know how things are going. Lots of things to ask."

"Actually, London's opinion is to merge our protectorates in the Persian Gulf into one country, which is my job in general." Sir Barron shrugged and replied without concealment.

Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows, another merger? He deeply felt that there were no 500 countries in this world, and that Britain was responsible for its persistence in mergers.

From British India to British Malaya, British Commonwealth of Central Africa, British Commonwealth of East Africa. Great Britain has done a great job of unifying all parts of the world.

Even if he did this, he was scolded for laying down the mine before he left. Sometimes Alan Wilson felt that the accusations suffered by Britain were very unfair.

The tone revealed by Sir Barron is that he hopes that the nine protectorate emirs of Bahrain, Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Dubai, Ras Al Khaimah, Ajman, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain will merge into one. United monarchy. Just like many sultans in British Malaya coexist.

Alan Wilson immediately understood, isn't this the United Arab Emirates? In the original version, Bahrain and Qatar were also included? This is quite surprising!

But if Qatar and Bahrain are among them, and the plan succeeds in the end, Alan Wilson can't imagine how rich this country will be in the future, almost taking all the factors of the resource country that lie down to make money.

"Whitehall's air transfer station plan is a plan to maintain the influence of the United Kingdom with these protectorates as the core." Although Alan Wilson is dissatisfied with the habitual merger of the United Kingdom, this plan can be an exception.

Each of these British protectorates is not very large, even if they are all combined, the area is not larger than 100,000 square kilometers.

Compared with neighboring Iran and Saudi Arabia, it is a very small country, but it is definitely the richest country in the Middle East in the future.

Alan Wilson even wanted to include Kuwait, but considering the feelings of the Kingdom of Iraq, that's fine.

Soon he became uncharacteristically, strongly supported the merger plan, and said that he could talk about the aviation transfer station. The construction labor is ready-made, and the industrial materials are provided by British Malaya. Isn't the labor force in Pakistan?

"You are such a conscientious commissioner!" Sir Barron said with emotion, and marveled at Alan Wilson's conscientiousness, and why he was valued by Whitehall, which is evident from this incident.

"As long as the opportunity arises, if we don't do it, someone will naturally do it." Alan Wilson replied sincerely, "There is no shortage of people in the world who seize the opportunity. It is better to leave it to someone who is relatively reliable to the UK."

He remembers when South Korea started to take off in the 1960s, because Japan was also at its peak, South Korea could only do some sweaty jobs, and the Middle East was the main work place for South Korea.

At its peak there were one million South Korean workers working in the Middle East deserts. Those people toiled in military camp-like quarters in the deserts of the Middle East. It is often said that the reason for the success of Korean companies is that Koreans are the only people in the world who can work for two years in a row in an exotic desert, without alcohol, with the discipline of the army.

This world is not without a nation that can endure hardship. Alan Wilson does not want to wait for the Koreans to build the Middle East.

He had British Malaya under his own management for the job, and he didn't need the help of a country with a U.S. military presence.

And from a long-term perspective, monopoly has always been the best choice for profit maximization, and it is best to have as few competitors as possible. He even wanted to press Japan, let alone one more South Korea.

"It seems that we should speed up the construction of the transit station. I think Dubai is a good place, right in the middle of the Eurasian continent, which is very suitable." Alan Wilson and Sir Barron discussed, "Our relationship with Pakistan is still very good. Not bad, talk to them over there to provide workers, we provide industrial support, set up the air terminal."

In fact, many of these British protectorates have not discovered oil and gas resources. Although countries in the world generally recognize that the Persian Gulf is a gas station for the earth, they are currently focusing on Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Iran. , like these pocket emirates did not attract attention.

Another factor is that these chiefs are generally British protectorates, and the local British army also played a hindering role.

Just at the location of Dubai as the air transfer station, Alan Wilson and Sir Barron reached a consensus, and jointly wrote a report to London, officially set the location of the air transfer station. Sir Barron went straight to Doha to prepare and enlist the support of these emirs to get things settled.

Soon Mossadegh reappeared, and the third negotiation began over a lucrative disagreement between Britain and Iran. Mossadegh has made a new demand that Anglo-Iranian Oil's accounts must be transparent to Iran.

The Anglo-Iranian oil company, which was previously controlled by the United Kingdom, refused to allow others to audit its accounts. The Iranian government had no way of knowing whether the fees paid by Anglo-Iranian Oil Company were in line with its commitments, and the uncompromising attitude of the United Kingdom also angered the Iranian people.

"No problem, this is a very reasonable request." Alan Wilson also hopes that this conflict will end as soon as possible, the accounting problem is too small to be a small one.

In the third negotiation~lightnovelpub.net~ Both the UK and Iran showed their sincerity. One-third of the oil profit distribution was added to the raw material support of the Imperial Preferential System. At the same time, the UK also stated that the Iranian government would definitely keep the accounts on the account. of transparency.

Some good news has also spread to Iran, but not all Iranians know what the Imperial Preferential System is. But the person who was bought by the British MI6 will come up with an explanation that ordinary Iranians can accept and even feel excited about.

That is the system in which the vast British colonies help the British economy take off. Under this system, Britain can save production costs to the greatest extent and produce more products in less time than others.

Once the United Kingdom opens this preferential system to Iran, Iran can get the best products just like the United Kingdom, and spend the least amount of money to do things, which can’t be replaced by any money.

Alan Wilson knows that with the current level of Iran's industry, joining in can only gain some benefits in terms of raw material costs. Not enough to compete with the UK. Iran will benefit, but Britain will benefit even more.

On June 26, Britain and Iran announced at the same time that their differences over oil profits had been satisfactorily resolved. Mossadegh said it was a great victory for Iran, and Iran's prosperity is coming.

"Another one!" Alan Wilson looked at the signed joint statement and sighed that he had covered up another issue.
