British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 788: The palms and backs of the hands are ful

The special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States came to Kuala Lumpur, and Alan Wilson couldn't take it lightly. He was going to the airport to meet him. Pamela Mountbatten would naturally follow. On the way to the airport, he mentioned the latest news about the discovery of oil in the North Sea. "There is no accurate evidence yet, and we have been looking for it for several years," the report said.

"Speaking of this issue, it seems that the demarcation of the North Sea and the surrounding countries has not been noticed by the cabinet. It is not too late to do this work." Alan Wilson sat in the co-pilot's seat and accidentally remembered about the ocean. demarcation problem.

In this era, the United Kingdom has not yet drawn maritime borders with surrounding countries. It is more appropriate to explain that it has not turned a corner for a while.

In the past, the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom was the most powerful in the world. With such strength, the United Kingdom naturally does not need to take off its pants and fart. Any sea area is an inland sea for the United Kingdom.

Today is different from the past, the navy, a special branch of the military, is almost nothing if it is not the first.

Especially after the arrival of the ironclad era, there is no possibility of hitting the strong with the weak.

Taking advantage of the strength of the Royal Navy now that countries other than the United States can be called Dad, there will definitely be a lot of advantages in demarcation.

Once the demarcation is completed, it will be even more difficult to change it. If you don’t believe it, you will know from the demarcation between Greece and Turkey that Turkey can’t wait to swim and swim abroad, but so what, since the demarcation is a foregone conclusion.

"Are you sure that there must be oil in the North Sea?" Pamela Mountbatten asked while holding the steering wheel. Her husband once said that there may be oil off the coast of Newfoundland, but he still couldn't find it.

"There's nothing 100% about this kind of thing, but even if it's for the North Sea fishing grounds, try to keep it as much as possible." Alan Wilson said that this seemed to come to his mind, "Actually, there are still a lot of islands in the country's hands, and these islands are not large in size. But it covers a large area of ​​ocean, and if oil resources can be found in the North Sea or Newfoundland, I believe the government will pay attention to these small islands.”

"It seems that only the country is good?" Pamela Mountbatten gave her man a blank look, obviously dissatisfied with the answer.

"If oil is discovered, it is also very beneficial to my father. Every island may have oil and gas resources offshore. If there is a Gulf of Mexico, does it need navy protection? Then the importance of the navy is reflected." Alan Wilson said The wife followed the instructions and explained the joints.

Now Mountbatten Group's exploration teams are all over the place, but even so, there is no guarantee that the oil and gas areas in Alan Wilson's memory can be found. He can only remember the approximate location and delineate a location to find it slowly.

North Sea oil is of great significance to the United Kingdom. Other oil and gas areas are in the colonies. The North Sea is a reliable source of energy that can be used locally. Even if the cabinet does not agree to private exploitation after the discovery, Pamela Mountbatten can also discuss the issue of nationalization with the government. .

It couldn't be worse than selling Algerian oil to the French, given that Attlee's entire nationalisation campaign spent £2bn buying up private companies.

Alan Wilson also gave comfort to his wife's failure to find the oil and gas area, "It's all a geological structure, and what is discovered now is definitely not all the oil and gas in the North Sea."

The sporadic oil resources in the North Sea were discovered as early as a hundred years ago, when the Weitzer oilfield was discovered near Hannover in northern Germany. Through systematic exploration of similar salt domes and associated anticlines, about 70 oil fields have been discovered, producing 3 million barrels of oil per year, mostly from Lower Cretaceous and Jurassic reservoirs.

Twenty years ago, the Netherlands also discovered some small oil and gas reserves in the territory and started some oil production. The UK has also carried out exploration in the North Sea, but so far nothing has been discovered that is of great mining value.

Before arriving at the airport, Pamela Mountbatten, who had been making little progress in Beihai, finally regained her fighting spirit. The two got out of the car at the same time, and soon found the traces of the McCarthys. They were far away, and Alan Wilson waved his hand in greeting.

"Joseph, I heard that you are in the limelight in the United States." Alan Wilson opened his mouth with a sincere smile and mentioned the fact that McCarthy is in the limelight in the United States today.

"Alan, I wonder what kind of happy water you have prepared?" McCarthy was also very familiar with him. If his wife wasn't by his side, he would have hugged each other.

Although we haven't seen each other for a long time, the special relationship between Britain and the United States has not faded, and the two people have maintained communication in the market. Once a habit, McCarthy found that the British friend's insights were often unique.

A few minutes later, the McCarthys were seated in the Gintama, eager to see what their friend's jurisdiction was like.

Alan Wilson's aesthetics have always been very general. To sum up, the buildings should be symmetrical, large, and the streets should be wide. The layout of Kuala Lumpur is also based on this standard, but in general, it is still in the past.

Kuala Lumpur also has the characteristics of a certain tropical city, and there is no shortage of diversity. The city has the characteristics of Chinese, Malay and Indian, which can be seen at a glance.

Today, it is difficult to imagine that this was a gathering place for miners and evolved into the capital of British Malaya today.

The only thing that worried McCarthy was that he saw too many Chinese faces. He was worried about the safety of his friends. "How many Chinese are there? Will there be trouble?"

"About a little more than fifty percent." In a blink of an eye, Pamela Mountbatten had parked her car at the entrance of a hotel, and Alan Wilson chatted with McCarthy when he got off the bus, and also revealed some of the real situation in Malaya.

Pushing the cup and changing the cup is of course no need to say much, and the two men's discussions on the key road are also inevitable. All of them are Junjies who intend to use the key to prove the Tao. The topic cannot be divorced from the international situation and consolidate the foundation of the Tao.

McCarthy did not hide the purpose of coming to Malaya, and with the help of alcohol, he made it all clear. Regarding the behavior of a country that feels good about itself, the United States does not say anything on the surface, but it is of course dissatisfied in the heart.

India why? It is true that with India's population and size, the United States is also willing to give some sweetness to Indians to entertain themselves. For example, during the Korean War and the Geneva Conference, they acquiesced in some of India's cross-border actions.

"Joseph, I was an assistant to the Indian Commissioner. If you talk about other countries, I may not have a say. But this country? I can only say that on a personal level, Indians are easy to contact, but if it is a country From a point of view, this country is quite unreasonable, it just wants to take advantage and not lose."

Alan Wilson did not expect that one day he would be able to have contact with India, but his friend McCarthy asked, as a friend, he is not a friend if he doesn't tell the truth, "Probably on the eve of evacuation from India, many colleagues and I felt that the The people at Hru have great ambitions. He has a mysterious fondness for the Soviet Union."

"Why didn't Britain kill this man in the first place?" McCarthy asked rhetorically without thinking. "This way, everything is solved, and we don't have to worry about it today."

"Joseph, things are not so simple. Patel's performance seemed to be more radical at the beginning. And Nehru's nature has not been exposed. How do we know that Patel died just after independence?"

Alan Wilson shirks his responsibilities without bounds. The dead will not object. Patel has become a bone and will not object to the definition given to him by the two people who represent the special relationship between Britain and the United States today.

Explaining the embarrassment of Britain at the beginning, Alan Wilson returned to the essence, and reminded the United States that India is the object to be guarded against. His glorious era has returned, and he is still the assistant commissioner of the British India. Man, eloquent.

"Allen means that Nehru's tendencies could not be judged at the beginning." Pamela Mountbatten could not help but explain when she saw her husband reminiscing about the past.

When it comes to British India, she can't stop talking, and Pamela Mountbatten can't help it. She thinks her husband has a special mentality for India, but she doesn't know why.

"Pamela is right. We couldn't judge it at the beginning, but now that Nehru has performed after independence, our concerns are correct." Alan Wilson expressed his concern for Nehru. Looking at it differently, he said uncertainly, "Does this Bogor Conference intend to form a third force in the world to complicate the already delicate situation?"

The five South Asian countries of the Bogor Conference actually have another identity, which is the initiator of the Bandung Conference. Speaking of the famous Bandung Conference in later generations, the protagonist who made the most of the limelight is of course Nehru.

It was Nehru who contacted, and Tito of Yugoslavia and Nasser of Egypt took the initiative to convene. As for China, it was Nehru's invitation, which gave China an opportunity to show its face at such an international conference.

"Third-party powers? Nehru is taking it for granted!" McCarthy sneered. "Like you said, Nehru was very ambitious and Washington took notice. We wanted to be in the meeting. But Nehru refused. already."

Nehru has a kind! Alan Wilson secretly thought that this is what the leader of the Third World Alliance, the leader of the third camp, independent of the United States and the Soviet Union, should do.

Thinking so in his heart, he frowned tightly and said, "Nehru also rejected Britain's proposal to participate in the conference. We do not want to see this scene due to the traditional relationship between Britain and India."

This is of course a lie. India's import and export trade is settled in British pounds. How could the United Kingdom report prejudice to India? Not only for India, but also for China, because of British assets in China.

"The palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are full of meat!" Alan Wilson was very annoyed, and the United States is more qualified to come forward in this kind of thing.
