v2 Chapter 980: Who is the enemy?

In the eyes of the United States, Iran's three-point world is not unbreakable, and the United Kingdom is obviously the weakest party in the three-point world. Since Mossadegh is welcomed by Iran, Washington uses this support to achieve its own goals.

Since modern times, Britain and Russia have divided their spheres of influence from Iran, and even invaded Iran during World War II.

The United States is different from the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union, which have historical burdens. At least for now, they can stand with Iran as an outsider, and first squeeze the United Kingdom out.

On the way to meet the foreign secretary, Alan Wilson was also thinking about the supporters behind Tehran. In fact, I just want to think, who is more suspicious of the United States or the Soviet Union? It is the Soviet Union in terms of geographical location, and the United States in terms of national strength. Anyway, it cannot be Pahlavi.

Although Britain is no longer an empire on which the sun never sets, it is not something Iran can handle. This time, Iran's attitude is obviously very abnormal. "The reason why the minister is very angry must have something to do with the election year."

"That's right." After hearing what his old colleague said, Alan Wilson asked, "Has the Labor Party decided to choose a good time to dissolve Parliament and start a general election?"

"I'm just saying it's possible." John shrugged. "It's all my guess, but what can politicians be so angry about? Apart from the election, I can't think of anything else."

"Indeed, maybe it's really related." Alan Wilson was taken aback for a moment, and the more he thought about it, the more reasonable he felt.

Thirteen years have passed since 1945, and it is almost the end of the year.

That's a real possibility for a three-term Labor Party. The electoral system of parliamentary countries is different from that of the United States. Take the five-year term of the British prime minister as an example. He usually chooses the third or fourth year of his term for more than half of the term. When the support rate is high, the general election will be held to facilitate re-election.

Why didn't you do it the first two times? The reason for this is that the Labor Party had an absolute advantage over the Conservative Party in the first two general elections after the war, leading the Conservative Party by hundreds of seats.

Once there are not many leading seats, the ruling party in a parliamentary country will choose an early general election. If this is the case, then the Labor Party may have high hopes for Harold Wilson's trip to the Middle East this time, and then use it to increase support and start the general election.

This can explain why Harold Wilson is so angry this time. For politicians, whoever threatens his approval rating is his enemy.

Sometimes an opportunity will only appear once. If you don’t believe me, ask the former Foreign Secretary Morrison. He lost once at a critical moment.

Arriving at the hotel where the delegation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stayed, all the colleagues from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who came to meet him paid attention to Alan Wilson, which was regarded as welcoming the return of the immediate boss.

Alan Wilson also nodded, and directly asked Dixon to take him to meet the foreign minister, "The minister is very irritable these days."

"I see." Alan Wilson nodded, then pushed open the door and entered the room.

There are very few cloudy days in the Middle East, especially in Basra. The weather at this time is like the mood of Harold Wilson.

It was under such circumstances that Alan Wilson met the minister. The minister tried to hide his true thoughts as much as possible, and asked whether the executive deputy minister's trip to the Far East was fruitful.

"Very good, a model of a pluralistic coexistence society, and an eye-opener for the representatives of British Africa." Considering the mood of the foreign secretary at this time, Alan Wilson should not have said that, but he still feels that the minister needs a good one. The news, he spoke briskly to announce the good news, "As long as the local people continue to give support, the strategy envisaged before will definitely be a great success."

"Is there no problem?" Harold Wilson asked absently, not getting out of his depressed mood.

"It doesn't matter if the economic development is not balanced. The Chinese account for 83% of the entire Malaya economy." Alan Wilson asked himself, and then said, "This may cause some ethnic problems. But development is always There is a price to pay."

The Chinese in Malaya occupy a relatively large majority, but they are indeed the main force of the colonial economic development. This did not start now, it was the same at the beginning, but after the war, the wave of open immigration, because the number of Chinese increased, this problem became more and more serious.

"Is this going to be a problem?" Harold Wilson asked in surprise, "Allen, you know how important Malaya is to Britain now."

"I'm very glad that the minister thinks so." Alan Wilson nodded and explained, "We took care of the Malays in the land distribution at the beginning. Even in the land ownership on the book, the Malays still occupy the majority. But even if it is dependent on the land The rubber industry in China is now dominated by the Chinese. The Chinese have made money by renting land, and the Malays have handed over the land to collect rent. What can we do?"

Anyway, Alan Wilson can't think of a way, but fortunately, it's just a lease, not a sale. A lot of contracts are for five years, and the Malays can raise the rent to improve their lives.

"I'm just worried that it will cause instability in Malaya. Don't arouse the resentment of the bamboo screen. Or the regime supported by the Americans will reach out." Harold Wilson said with a worried face, and now the problems in Iran have made him burnt out. Well, if something happened to Malaya, he couldn't even imagine it.

"We are still in communication with the mainland. This time, under the strict monitoring of the Royal Navy, the goods successfully landed. As for Mr. Chang, he must have this intention, but he definitely has no such ability."

Alan Wilson said with contempt, "We have enough reasons to believe that he will never disappoint when he disappoints."

Alan Wilson reassured the minister, not to stereotype the Chinese. Since we live on this earth, even a nation has different groups, and there are those who deserve attention, and those who cannot be supported by mud.

Apparently, the people in Chang Gong’s group are the latter. The reason why Alan Wilson said that Chang Gong has this kind of heart is because Chang Gong’s group of people absolutely meet the definition of the word overweight. The combat manual of the army under Chang Gong's command expressly states how to go too far after the counterattack, and change the people.

That is not the combat manual of the 1930s, but the combat manual of the Cannon Party in the 1980s. It can be seen that those people on Deception Island have always preferred to kill three thousand people by mistake and never let one go.

But facing Britain, it's not that he looks down on Deceit Island. Chang Gong's courage is limited to his own nation, such as colonists like Britain, even if they are as powerful as Portugal, he will never dare to provoke them.

Just because Chang Gong's opponent is very powerful, you can't think that Chang Gong is also very powerful. This is definitely a misunderstanding.

Chang Gong did persist longer than Nanyue, but how much bigger was his territory than Nanyue? The U.S. army withdrew from South Vietnam, and South Vietnam still persisted for two years. Chang Gong only persisted for one year longer than South Vietnam, even though the territory was dozens of times larger than that of South Vietnam.

This is the true level of Mr. Chang. During Alan Wilson's tenure in Malaya, the generalized anti-British elements including the Cannon Party also caused many people to disappear from this world. There was no protest until he left office.

Harold Wilson heard that Alan Wilson had transferred from Karachi, and asked about the situation in India.

Alan Wilson also gave an answer, "Nehru is more capable than Mr. Chang, but he is an Indian. Even Nehru's discovery in India said in the book that Indians talk too much. I hope India can learn from China." Human pragmatism. It is true that we respect India's current international status, but if Indians continue to feel good about themselves, they will definitely suffer a lot."

India's international reputation is high, which is a fact of this time period. Even Alan Wilson can't remember how many times he has been given the role of mediator in the past few years, and how many local leaders who want to be independent have gone to India to pay their respects.

However, this will all come to an abrupt end when India hits the wall. As long as the war starts, India will become a dispensable role from the leader of the third world, the leader of emerging countries, and the mediator of international affairs.

There is no way, the international community is so realistic~lightnovelpub.net~ After India's independence, the two times of losing adults are related to China.

One was a war, and the other was a sports meeting. The Commonwealth Games held in India was just two years after the imperial capital. The participating countries are all over the world. You must know that the Commonwealth includes four of the Five Eyes. As a result, India showed this kind of national strength.

In the face of India's question, Alan Wilson maintained his usual not small but great remarks.

This kind of optimistic attitude finally relieved Harold Wilson. He shook his head and said, "Alan, I have encountered a problem now. The solution you discussed with Mossadegh last time was rejected by Iran."

"There must be a sincere invitation behind Tehran, and the possibility of the Soviet Union is unlikely. Our suspicious ally, whose blood is thicker than water, may take the opportunity to crowd out Britain's influence in Iran."

Alan Wilson analyzed calmly, "Negotiations still have to be discussed. Even if the road ahead is tortuous, we must maintain a normal mind, but if it is really the United States who is playing tricks, this is definitely just the beginning. The United States wants to accept us. With the French, this time should be regarded as a landmark event."

Speaking of this, Alan Wilson suddenly felt numb about winning. If Iran's attack can make the United Kingdom realize the smiling face of the United States, it is still a good thing. It is better than the Suez Canal accident that woke the United Kingdom up.

Problems in Iran and accidents in the Suez Canal are not difficult. Once an accident occurs in the latter, it is impossible to remedy it, while the former is acceptable.

"Do you have any countermeasures?" Harold Wilson was confused, hoping that the executive deputy minister could answer.

Alan Wilson wanted to say no, but he said, "Notify France of this matter first. Britain and France are in the same environment on this issue. France's support is very important."
