British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 980: Who is the enemy?

The pattern of Iran's three-point world is not unbreakable in the eyes of the United States, and the United Kingdom is obviously the weakest party among the three-point world. Since Mosaddegh is welcomed by Iran, Washington will use this support to accomplish its own goals.

Since modern times, Britain and Russia have divided their spheres of influence from Iran, and they 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, it can still stand with Iran as an outsider, and let the United Kingdom be excluded first.

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

Although the United Kingdom is no longer an empire on which the sun never sets, it cannot be dealt with by one Iran either. 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 it." Alan Wilson asked after listening to his old colleague. "Has the Labour Party decided to choose a good time to dissolve the parliament and start the general election?"

"I'm just saying it's possible." John shrugged. "It's all my guess, but what can politicians be so angry about? I can't think of anything other than elections."

"Indeed, maybe it's really related." Alan Wilson was stunned, and the more he thought about it, the more reasonable it became.

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

It is possible that a three-term Labour Party would do this. The electoral system of parliamentary countries is different from that of the United States. Take the British Prime Minister's five-year term as an example. Usually, he will choose the third or fourth year of the term of office. When the approval rate is high, the general election will be held to facilitate re-election.

Why didn't you do this the first two times? The reason for this is that in the first two general elections after the war, the Labour Party had an absolute advantage over the Conservative Party, leading the Conservative Party by hundreds of seats. In that case, there was no significant change in public opinion, and the Labour Party could finish its term of office.

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

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

Sometimes opportunities only come once. If you don't believe me, ask former Foreign Secretary Morrison. He lost once at a critical moment, and the gap caused by it never caught up for a lifetime, and was suppressed by Attlee for a lifetime.

Arriving at the hotel where the delegation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was staying, the oncoming colleagues of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs all saluted Alan Wilson, which was considered to be welcoming the return of his immediate boss.

Alan Wilson also nodded and asked Dixon to take him to meet the Foreign Secretary, "The Minister has been 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 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 and asked the Permanent Undersecretary whether his trip to the Far East was fruitful.

"Very good, a model of a pluralistic and coexisting society, and it also opened the eyes of the representatives of British Africa." Considering the mood of the foreign secretary at this time, Alan Wilson should not have said this, but he still felt that the minister needs a good The news, he spoke briskly and announced the good news, "As long as the local government continues to provide support, the previously envisaged strategy will definitely be a great success."

"Is there any problem?" Harold Wilson asked absently, before he got out of his depressed mood.

"Is it true that the economic development is not balanced? The Chinese account for 83% of the entire Malayan economy." Alan Wilson asked himself, and then said, "This may cause some ethnic problems. But development always There's a price to pay."

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

"It won't be a problem, right?" Harold Wilson asked in surprise. "Alan, you know how important Malaya is to Britain now."

"I'm glad that the minister thinks so." Alan Wilson nodded and explained, "In the beginning, we took care of the Malays in the land distribution. Even if the land ownership is now on the books, the Malays also occupy the majority. But even if it is dependent on the land The Chinese have an advantage in the rubber industry in China. The Chinese made money and rented the land, and the Malays handed over the land to collect the rent. What can we do about it?”

Anyway, Alan Wilson can't think of a way, but fortunately, it's just renting and not selling. Many contracts are for five years. Malays can increase the rent to improve their lives.

"I'm just worried that it will cause instability in Malaya. Don't arouse the disgust of the Bamboo Curtain. Or the regime supported by the Americans will reach out." Harold Wilson said with a worried face, and now Iran's problems are making him devastated. Now, if something happened to Malaya, he wouldn't even dare to imagine it.

"We are still in communication with the mainland. This time, under the strict monitoring of the Royal Navy, the goods have successfully landed. As for Mr. Chang, he must have this intention, but he absolutely does not have the ability."

Alan Wilson said contemptuously, "We have every reason to believe that he never disappoints when he disappoints."

Alan Wilson soothed the minister's emotions, not to have stereotypes about the Chinese. Since living on this earth, even a nation has different groups, and there are those worthy of attention that cannot be supported by mud.

Obviously the latter group of people is the latter. The reason why Alan Wilson said that Chang Gong has this kind of heart is because Chang Gong's group absolutely fits the definition of the word self-indulgence. The battle manual of the army under Chang's command clearly stated that after the counterattack, how to use the sword to go too far, and the people should be changed.

That's not a manual from the 1930s, but a manual from the Artillery Party in the 1980s. It can be seen that those people on Fraud Island have always preferred to kill three thousand by mistake and never let one go.

However, in the face of the United Kingdom, it is not that he looks down on the island of fraud. Chang Gong's courage is only limited to his own nation, such as the British colonizers, even if the strength of Portugal is, he will never dare to provoke them.

You can't think that Duke Chang is also very powerful just because his opponent is very powerful. This is definitely a misunderstanding.

It is true that Chang Gong has persisted longer than Nanyue, but how much is his territory than Nanyue? South Vietnam still insisted on withdrawing from the US military for two years. Even though the territory of Chang Gong was dozens of times larger than that of South Vietnam, he lasted only one more year than South Vietnam.

This is the true level of Chang Gong. During Alan Wilson's tenure in Malaya, the general anti-British elements also included the Artillery Party, and many people disappeared from this world, and there were no protests until he left office.

Harold Wilson heard that Alan Wilson was connecting from Karachi and asked about the situation in India.

Alan Wilson also gave an answer, "Nehru's ability is better than Chang Gong, but he is an Indian. Even the book of Nehru's discovery in India said that Indians are rhetoric and hope that India can learn from China. The pragmatism of people. It is true that we respect India’s current international position, but if Indians continue to feel good about themselves, they will suffer a lot.”

India has a high reputation internationally, that's a fact of the time at this time. Even Alan Wilson can't remember how many times he has been granted the role of mediator in the past few years, and how many local leaders who want independence have gone to India to worship the wharf.

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

No way, the international community is such a reality. After India's independence, it lost two adults, both of which were related to China.

One was a war, and the other was a sports meeting~lightnovelpub.net~ The Commonwealth Games held in India, but two years after the imperial capital. The participating countries are all over the world. You must know that the British Commonwealth includes four of the five eyes. As a result, India has come up with this kind of national strength.

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

This optimism finally relieved Harold Wilson, shaking his head and saying, "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. 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 calmly analyzed, "Negotiations still need to be negotiated. Even if the road ahead is tortuous, we must remain calm, but if it is really the United States, this must be just the beginning. The United States wants to accept us. And the French turf, this time should be regarded as an iconic event."

Speaking of this, Alan Wilson suddenly felt a sense of victory. If the Iranian attack can make the United Kingdom realize the attitude of the smiling tiger of the United States, this is still a good thing. It is better than the Suez Canal accident that wakes the United Kingdom up.

Problems in Iran and accidents in the Suez Canal are not difficult. The latter cannot be remedied at all once an accident occurs, while the former is acceptable.

"Do you have any way to deal with it?" Harold Wilson was confused, hoping that the Deputy Secretary could answer.

Alan Wilson wanted to say no, but when he spoke, he said, "Notify France about this first. On this issue, the UK and France are in the same environment, and France's support is very important."
