Chapter 1092 Traveling Lightly

Alan Wilson believes that it is extremely difficult for modern society to change the general trend of history. In fact, the changes he has brought about are not many. France's war this time can be said to be a landmark event.

Not only is Foreign Secretary Macmillan working hard for this, but US Secretary of State Dean Rusk also implicitly criticized France, believing that France's tough move to maintain Algerian rule has discredited the free world.

Of course, Alan Wilson disagrees with this statement, because the British colonies are not independent and clean. Every time the Americans express their stance on colonial issues, they are suspected of criticizing others.

"Change, let's change." Alan Wilson is content with what he has come. This is like another problem. Everyone knows that money is a good thing, and everyone wants it, but some people have it and some don't.

He watched Macmillan's efforts with a relaxed attitude in Paris, and also took the opportunity to visit his two daughters' schools. The two daughters were very cute and very popular. The reason for her popularity is that she naturally inherited the strong genes of Ingrid Bergman.

After watching his two daughters from a distance for a while, Alan Wilson turned and left, because Macmillan's mediation had failed, and the two would return to London to discuss the next step.

"How about we threaten De Gaulle with a nuclear bomb?" Seeing the Foreign Secretary's frown and obviously not very beautiful mood, Alan Wilson joked. He could understand Macmillan's distress.

There is an Eden who serves as prime minister but is not interested in domestic affairs and specializes in formulating foreign policy. No foreign minister feels uncomfortable, especially since many diplomatic tasks are not going well. He takes the responsibility and Eden takes the credit. How can he be in a good mood? That's weird.

"Alan, this joke is not funny." Macmillan was not in the mood to listen to jokes. If the only two powerful countries in the world were Britain and France, Britain could certainly force France to submit.

But Britain and France decided the direction of the world. It was a matter of the last era. France really didn't listen to advice, and Britain really didn't have much to do. It really annoyed the French. If they voted for the Communists, the whole of Europe would become a vassal of the Soviet Union.

Otherwise, Macmillan would be unfounded. Couldn't Britain surrender? It's just mind-numbing.

Returning to London, Macmillan went to No. 10 Downing Street. The only thing on Alan Wilson's plan list recently was to wait for the first batch of interns to arrive in the UK, as well as the immediate priorities, such as...

"Welcome President Mountbatten Group and Her Royal Highness the Princess to loyal London!" At the exit of London International Airport, Alan Wilson bowed and saluted, paying tribute to the lady who was being escorted out.

Then he took a few steps forward and held his wife's body in his arms.

He sighed, "One day is like three autumns after not seeing each other. It's really nostalgic."

"You know how to say nice things!" Pamela Mountbatten rolled her eyes at her husband and lowered her voice and said, "You didn't do anything bad, did you?"

"In this case, the most important thing in marriage is fidelity." Alan Wilson denied it.

"I have remained loyal, but I don't know if you have!" Pamela Mountbatten muttered quietly.

"There is only one sun in my heart, Pamela." Alan Wilson swore that he would not recognize anyone but Pamela.

Seeing his wife who was like a migratory bird returning to its nest, Alan Wilson was extremely attentive and at the same time did not forget to express his gratitude, "The things in Iran are not over yet. I took the time to pick you up."

"On my way back, I have already talked with several protectorates with industries in the Middle East and the Kingdom of Iraq. In a few days, the Kingdom of Iraq will announce that the Mountbatten Group will give up its oil share allocation quota." Pamela Mountbatten told Behind her husband, she described what she had done on her return trip.

"Sooner or later, there is no need to feel sad about it." Alan Wilson comforted, "That is an unequal treaty. You and I both know in our hearts that it will be abolished sooner or later, especially with the attention of the United States and the Soviet Union."

"The key is that during the Iran crisis, if the Mountbatten Group does this, will it have a negative impact on the Six-Party Talks? I am mainly worried about this." Pamela Mountbatten didn't know why her husband kept urging him Give up your oil share, especially at this time.

"The issue now is no longer about money, but about national dignity. We use this to show that the oil share is not unnegotiable. The question is whether the British Empire is still respected." Alan Wilson said calmly, "That's fine. Traveling lightly can put more pressure on Pahlavi."

Even if Alan Wilson doesn't do this, the United States will do it immediately, abolishing Aramco's oil distribution share, and placing all of it under the control of Saudi Arabia. If the United States does this, it will be equivalent to including the United Kingdom.

So it is better to let the wife do it first, and this can be said to be the personal behavior of Mountbatten Oil Company.

Pamela Mountbatten did this, but did not ask other BP companies to follow suit. We can slowly communicate whether other oil companies will follow suit.

The Iranian oil crisis is no longer a simple issue of oil distribution. The UK has squeezed Iran's oil exports out of the international community and used the few countries it can control to form a small OPEC to ensure the safety of the UK and Europe. Oil resources are stable.

Now it bites Iran and refuses to let go, just to show Britain's attitude. If someone does not carry out a nationalization and let Britain suffer losses, the matter will be in vain. It is beyond the UK's reach to do this in Latin America, and the United States, which has the Monroe Doctrine, is turning a blind eye. The UK is unwilling to take the lead, but in some hot spots, such as the Middle East, it will pay a price for daring to do this.

"You are amazing, you are noble, and you use my company to pay for the country." Pamela Mountbatten looked at her husband in a bad mood and was moved by himself. Although he had said before that he could use refining instead of crude oil, who would think it was too much money?

"My dear, if Britain fails, who will defend your industry?" Alan Wilson asked with a smile, "Looking at your aggrieved look, people who don't know may think you have become proletarian. But that's not the case. Wrong, except for some iron ore, oil, food, water, electricity, and automobiles, you also meet the definition of the proletariat."

Alan Wilson thought of preparing a unique meal for his wife when she returned to China, and the place was decided to be in Hoxon. Of course, the beloved princess cannot be skipped, otherwise my sister-in-law will be angry.

A banquet table was set up in the yard, filled with rich candies and snacks and gorgeous tableware.

The two ladies, well dressed, sat under a canopy of green leaves made of freshly cut branches, which were tied elegantly from one end to the other with gold, silver and blue silk threads. Colorful fruits, including gold. Artificial fruits made of silver and wax hang, or rather look like beautiful eyes peering among the green leaves of the sycamore and lime trees.

All this fully demonstrated how sincere Alan Wilson was, and Princess Margaret bowed with a very appropriate and deep respect, as if to thank her brother-in-law for his hospitality.

There is a dish, whether it is venison, rabbit, lamb or poultry, stuffed into the belly of a cow, it will be roasted very deliciously, not only retaining their original essence, but also absorbing the juice essence of the roasted beef.

"It's delicious. What's the name?" Margaret was very satisfied and asked her brother-in-law with a smile.

"There's no name for this." Alan Wilson couldn't help but smile. It looked quite like Fulu Banquet, but when he thought that the name was too unlucky, Britain was a monarchy, so he had better forget about naming it.

A long absence is better than a new marriage, and Pamela Mountbatten, who is in two places with her husband, is in urgent need of her husband's comfort at this time. Make a woman's temperament tend to be gentle. The path to the soul is open. Words are insignificant, actions are more expressive.

Any action at this time will greatly comfort the woman's senses and make them docile and obedient.

As an Orientalist expert, it is normal to drink wolfberry, and it is also normal to take Liuwei Dihuang Pills when you have nothing to do. This all comes from the love for the traditional oriental culture, including but not limited to three wives and four concubines.

Regarding the announcement by the Kingdom of Iraq that it has signed a new oil agreement with the Mountbatten Group and recovered all its oil shares in the Mountbatten Oil Company, it marks that the Kingdom of Iraq's independent capabilities have reached a new stage.

Both the king and the regent expressed their joy at this victory. It is considered a staged victory, especially compared with Iran, which was squeezed out of the international oil supply system. Similarly, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and other protectorates also announced similar news.

While achieving staged victories, these countries also stated that they would still maintain their traditional close relations with the United Kingdom. It is also believed to be an important force for Middle East security.

"Permanent Undersecretary, this is an arms sales contract transferred from the Ministry of Defense." Wick brought over a dozen documents, all of which were weapons that the Ministry of Defense wanted to put on the counter, covering the army, navy and air force. Of course, what Mountbatten most hoped to succeed in selling was naval weapons.

But it may not go so smoothly. For most countries in the world, army weapons are the most urgent. Tanks, armored vehicles, armed helicopters, and then Air Force fighter jets.

Advanced weapons can be given, but they cannot be allowed to form a system. This will ensure that the initiative is still in the hands of the United Kingdom. Returning shares to these countries means that they must be exchanged for arms sales contracts. This is what I thought before.

"Ministry of Foreign Affairs!" Wick answered the phone, "Okay, I will convey it to Sir."

"What's going on?" Alan Wilson was flipping through the contents of the arms sales contract when he saw Wick leaving and returning.

"A ship has arrived at the port, and it's an intern from Malaya." Wick reported quickly, "How to respond."

"Let me go." Alan Wilson stood up directly. "Put away the documents of the Ministry of National Defense first. I will look at them when I come back."
