"I don't care, I trust my intuition, and it is our best result to directly cut off contact." Anna shook her head to herself, "We are worthy of the Soviets, no matter what. This is true in every way. Half of Berlin is How about sending it out?"

"Even if it's a high-end spy, it can't have a lot of credit from us, right? Now I'm thinking about our future and our future instead of putting my whole life into it. It's been eight years, isn't that enough? "

This is Anna's real thoughts at this time, she doesn't want to continue like this, she always shares the bed with the people she loves with purpose. It has become an ordeal.

"What's wrong with Ellen? Without him, we can't think of anything today."

"I didn't say anything!" Pokina's momentum weakened, which is very rare among sisters.

"You have no reason to say anything!" Anna sneered at the victory, "You can even betray your child's father and put him in an embarrassing situation, what else do you want to say? Of course you are worthy of the Soviets, but then again Now, am I sorry for the motherland? I just think, I have to live for myself now."

live for yourself? Pokina was touched, why wasn't it her idea. But although she is in charge of the two sisters in many respects, she does not dare to take a step forward in this matter.

"Stop talking!" Pokina said weakly, clutching her chest, "Only this time, I will listen to you."

Reason told Pokina that there was little chance of breaking contact all at once, but the future that Anna said was not the future she hoped for, she also regretted it, and wanted to walk under the sun and be a free woman.

Now the two sisters have amassed enormous fortunes that will only grow over time. The two also have their own son. The son has gradually grown up and is a very smart child. He must be an influential figure in the industry in the future.

But they, who were born spies, faced such a beautiful vision, but they were always hazy, and now the meeting has finally cleared the clouds. Hope must also be seized.

If the dream comes true, the two women who are in the best years of their lives will not need to be in this kind of conflict in the future.

"But what if he feels that we are unreliable!" Pokina asked another question. Alan Wilson has not been to Germany since the Berlin crisis.

If it's like what Anna said, he has found that the two sisters are unreliable, and has been avoiding meeting again, how to repair the relationship.

"I have Hans, he can't even want his own son." Anna said lightly, "I will take the initiative to find him. The mistakes we have made are big, but from a man's point of view, it is not Seriously, it's not stealing the sun."

Alan Wilson, who was far across the strait, sneezed a few times for no reason. The Egyptian king who was under house arrest looked sideways and joked, "Mr. Wilson, this is not the season for colds."

"There has never been a reason for this kind of thing." Alan Wilson said haha, not knowing that his character had been eaten up by the little dragoons, and feeling good about himself, "About the house arrest of His Majesty the King in England. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has officially refuted the rumors yesterday, of course, judging from our Egyptian embassy in Cairo, His Majesty's subjects generally do not believe it."

"If I hadn't come to London once, I wouldn't know that I have so many loyal subjects." Farouk I laughed dumbly, lamenting that the British Empire is indeed an old imperialism. Although its military power is not at its peak, but in other fields Still very trustworthy.

"Whitehall is ready to negotiate with His Majesty the King in response to this kind of pressure from public opinion." Alan Wilson poured a glass of champagne for Farouk I, and they both drank it and then said, "My mission is almost complete. ."

"If the dam is built, it can get the support of Commissioner Wilson and the Mountbatten family. I believe the Egyptians will accept it!" Farouk I pondered for a while and continued, "As you said, as a monarchy The country, the two countries should have a good relationship, and we don’t want the UK to be too weak, but we should try to be as equal as possible in the future.”

"That's what I'm after too!" Alan Wilson said decisively, "We in the UK respect all monarchies and are far more reliable than the Soviet Union and the United States in this matter. Hopefully, in the future, the two countries can support each other on some things. This is good for all monarchies."

The ownership of the Suez Canal is a big thunderbolt for the United Kingdom. If this big thunderbolt can be successfully discharged, even if it is only delayed, Alan Wilson will be worthy of his life in the United Kingdom.

He has regarded this meeting as the most important thing before he returns to Kuala Lumpur, and he will not feel relieved if it is not done properly.

With the help of well-known two-faced people within the British Empire, this meeting is equivalent to having the final answer for plagiarism.

Regarding the upcoming negotiations with the Prime Minister and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Farouk I was not guilty at all.

The next day, King Farouk I, who had been in London for more than a month, finally met the current British Prime Minister Attlee and Foreign Secretary Morrison on the issue of the Suez Canal.

At this moment, the whole country of Egypt is also paying attention to the king's negotiation with the British this time. They have never been as concerned about Farouk I's every move as they are today, but Nasser, who has arrived in Algeria, is definitely not among them.

"Hello, Your Majesty the King." Prime Minister Attlee saw the Egyptian king who had special hobbies and extended his hand to greet him, "You are here in the UK, which makes this government very happy, just because of you. There was some delay in the time in the UK, and there were some unfriendly remarks in Egypt, I hope to get some clarification on this.”

"Prime Minister Attlee, hello!" Farouk I also piled up a friendly smile, "You are very different from Churchill, you are a real gentleman."

Oh? Prime Minister Attlee was very happy when he heard this, and blurted out, "Does His Majesty think so?"

"So I believe that you and Churchill must have different views on the issue of colonialism." Farouk I changed the subject, "I can honestly say that as the king of Egypt, this time I came to the UK. The purpose, very direct, is to talk to the UK about the ownership of the Suez Canal."

As soon as these words came out, Prime Minister Attlee's smile froze, and a hint of embarrassment flashed on his face. He originally wanted to delay the time for Farouk I to leave by himself, but the Egyptian king stayed in London for no time. gone.

Even the whole country of Egypt is now madly spreading the news that the king has been under house arrest by the United Kingdom, and the Cairo embassy was surrounded by protesters, so they had to give up pretending to be okay and come forward to negotiate with Farouk I.

But the matter of the Suez Canal, he could not agree so easily. After the First World War, the hegemonic support of the British Empire was not those white dominions. The two cornerstones were the British India and the Egyptian protectorate.

The former is mainly supported by financial and human resources, and the latter also has partial financial support. Now it has lost British India, but the Suez Canal is still very important to the United Kingdom.

This is bound to be a difficult negotiation. From Attlee's point of view, everything can be discussed except the ownership of the Suez Canal, and Farouk I only wants to talk about the ownership of the Suez Canal.

Alan Wilson was not present, but he inquired about every move of the meeting with as much enthusiasm as the parties involved.

In fact, this kind of talks is really detrimental to the Labour government, although historically the decision to withdraw troops from the Suez Canal was made by the Conservative government, and now the Labour Party is in power.

But Prime Minister Attlee is obviously not as good as the Conservative Party in some respects. He recognizes the independence of British India, but strikes hard at other colonies. He has already shown his true thoughts. Britain can shrink, but it cannot shrink without a bottom line.

As the leader of the Labour Party, which clearly represents a progressive party, Attlee cannot express his true thoughts. This is where he struggles. From this point on, the opposition party has more choices.

It is indeed embarrassing for this group of Labour Party leaders, who started out as a labor movement, to blatantly endorse the existence of colonialism.

Of course, the negotiation on this day was fruitless. It can only be said that each country has stated the positions of the two countries, and that's it.

"Alan, haven't you met Farouk I? What do you think about it?" At the meeting held in Whitehall, Norman Brooke took the initiative to ask Alan Wilson, "Does he have any weaknesses?"

"The weakness is greed for money and lust, but these weaknesses are useless." Alan Wilson shrugged helplessly, "Now that Farouk I kills people in the streets of London, it can't stop the whole country of Egypt from supporting their king~www.mtlnovel. com~ Should we be that, let Farouk I talk about some other demands in exchange, and at the same time, we can temporarily shut up the Egyptians." Sir Ismay said after a long silence, "As long as the ownership of the canal is not discussed, other You can talk."

Alan Wilson will not be sleepy at once. He has no conscience to connect with Sir Ismay in private. This is entirely the idea of ​​the Permanent Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but it does coincide with what he has in mind.

"But we can't be too straightforward, we should use hints." Alan Wilson unmarkedly agreed with his boss's opinion, and the boss's coincidence coincided with the situation, so he cleared his own suspicions.

"Isn't there a candidate for this, Alan, haven't you been in charge of receiving Farouk I? Ask him what else he wants besides the ownership of the Suez Canal."

Norman Brooke made a direct decision and asked Alan Wilson to ask how he could let go.
