v2 Chapter 799: Bound the North African Army

For Mountbatten, maintaining and developing relations with the Americans is not a problem, because many American military leaders are his old comrades and friends during the war, and they are all over the army, navy and air force.

Let Alan Wilson say that if Mountbatten were an American, maybe Eisenhower's current presidency would be Mountbatten's. The two are essentially one type of soldiers.

Not to mention his father-in-law's trip to Washington, Alan Wilson can't wait for the forty-eight hours a day to go on, he has a reason not to waste a little time, even when meeting with guests.

This guest is Naval, the commander of the French Army in Vietnam, who has met several times. General Naval has finished his service experience in Asia and is ready to return to France. As for the future use of the French government, it is too early to say.

Singapore, the seat of the British Far East Joint Operations Command, Alan Wilson rushed here to meet with General Naval. He is not a high-level commissioner, and he will not think that the other party is useless because the future of General Naval is unclear.

In fact, on the contrary, Alan Wilson has appeared in the trough of many people, and has also pulled many people. McCarthy, Ali Khan, Princess Badia, and King Farouk I can all prove that there may be Emperor Bao in the future.

As for whether it harmed more people, that is another question.

Times have changed, and General Naval is completely different from when he took office when he took office. At that time, although he also thought that the suppression of the resistance in Vietnam might not be smooth, he just thought so out of the cautiousness of the soldiers. Now it is different. The French army is really withdrew from the Indo-China Peninsula.

If you don't say that the French just can't think of it, they hope that General Naval can live longer. If you can see the scene of the Saigon Iron Fist, you will feel that the current France seems to be fine.

"A little over a year ago, when I came to Asia, it was you, Allen." General Naval sighed, his uniform was still spotless, but he was a little desolate. He didn't know if he could continue to wear it.

"General, Asia's failure does not mean a total failure." Alan Wilson did not insult the law today, so don't sprinkle salt on the troubled brothers and sisters at this time. The problems faced by France are also faced by the United Kingdom.

And before France left, at the Geneva Conference, the free world united to stop North Vietnam's delusions of unifying Vietnam.

In a sense, North Vietnam had to continue to wait for the opportunity, just not knowing that the Viet Minh remembered the words at this time, "France wins without victory, Vietnam fails without defeat."

"Speaking of which, we left the Far East, and you are left with the UK. France's problem is also your problem. What if the revolutionary wave swept across Malaya?" General Naval spread his hands and said, "It's better to prepare early."

"It's different. It's not easy to infiltrate Malaya. If the enemy is willing, they can swim over. Maybe they think that the Royal Navy has reached the point where it can't even hold back the third world."

Alan Wilson is not worried, he knows who General Naval is talking about, the country that supports North Vietnam's weapons and ammunition. Knowing that he wouldn't change his statement, he swam over if he didn't agree.

Skipping this topic, Alan Wilson made the invitation straight to the point, "What if General Naval? Of course I hope the general will still be able to serve his country in the military, but if not, the Mountbatten Group has several oil fields in Libya, and Naval If General Val doesn't mind, the Mountbatten Group is willing to hire you as the local district chief."

Judging from the current situation, France should not let go of North Africa, and there is still a long-term military presence.

Libya is not a British colony, and the British have no troops stationed there. The Mountbatten Group's fields needed a defense.

Of course, the United Kingdom is not without ideas. For example, the expansion of the embassy in Libya is exaggerated, and it is also to protect the local British interests. However, the embassy is an embassy, ​​and the threat of the military cannot be replaced by the embassy.

If General Naval had to leave the army, personal connections would not be lost. Algeria borders Libya. If General Naval is hired by the Mountbatten Group, he can use the French military to deter him.

This is the main purpose of his coming to Singapore to meet with General Naval. There is no need to hide anything, just say it directly.

"You really look like a businessman." General Naval was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly.

"No way, I'm a family man, happy to solve problems for women I love. Otherwise, I won't be able to find the value of existence." Alan Wilson was there, and he didn't feel ashamed at all. This is what men pursue. .

Libya's oil quality is second to none in North Africa, and it is also an important source of money for the Mountbatten Group. For the entire Europe, Libya's resources have become very important considering the location factor.

Others do not understand, General Naval is a French general, he absolutely understands the relationship between North Africa and Europe. Otherwise, why would France attack Libya in a few decades?

The south of France faces the Mediterranean Sea where three continents meet, and France’s interests in the Mediterranean Sea and the Middle East and North Africa are one of France’s most fundamental interests.

The Fifth Republic was established because of the Algerian War. At that time, the most important base of Free France was also North Africa. Not to mention oil.

On a larger scale, half of the Roman Empire two thousand years ago was Europe and the other half was North Africa. France's plan for the Mediterranean alliance was almost a copy of the Roman Empire.

The United Kingdom is naturally not interested in the Mediterranean alliance. The United Kingdom has its own British Commonwealth to operate. At present, it is purely hoping to protect Libya's oil interests. In case of an accident in Libya, the motivation to send troops may not be sufficient, but France definitely has sufficient resources. The motive for sending troops, so it should be bound to France.

"If I have to leave the army, I will seriously consider this olive branch." After thinking for a while, General Naval decided to leave a way out for himself.

Even if he agreed, General Naval knew very well that Alan Wilson saw Libya bordering French Algeria, and Algeria had a huge French army that could protect the oil profits of the Mountbatten Group.

However, General Naval also heard that ~lightnovelpub.net~ has a large number of French shareholders in its oil share in Libya. This can be regarded as protecting the interests of France, and when you think about it, it can be regarded as protecting the interests of France.

Libya's oil shares are based on the example of the Suez Canal. The Suez Canal Company also has a large number of French shareholders. Otherwise, in the original history, France would not have followed the British to attack Egypt. This is all in the interest.

The purpose of absorbing French shareholders was to bind France and let the French protect Pamela Mountbatten's interests in Libya.

Hearing that General Naval agreed, Alan Wilson was relieved. He came out under the banner of running for his wife. If General Naval refused, Pamela Mountbatten would definitely be unhappy.

"Then wish us a happy cooperation." Alan Wilson took out a bottle of whiskey like a conjuration, and took out a memorandum with the other hand to let General Naval see if the treatment was appropriate.

General Naval's income is 5% of the Mountbatten Group's oil income in Libya. This income is paid by Pamela Mountbatten alone, and does not need to be shared by the Libyan royal family or the French shareholders.

From this point of view, Pamela Mountbatten is very charismatic and sincere enough.

"I even want to be forced to retire." General Naval sighed, picked up the glass and said, "Then wish us a happy cooperation, of course, it depends on the opinion of the Paris government on me."

"It's like the friendship between the two countries." Alan Wilson also raised his glass with a smile, "stands the test of time."
