Chapter 1122 Urbanization Construction
From Egypt to Algeria, and this time to Libya, Nasser and his followers fully demonstrated their indomitable spirit. If Alan Wilson knew that this disappeared brother was still alive, he would definitely sigh that he had almost become the Che Guevara of the Arab world. .
But Alan Wilson didn't know that Nasser had already shifted his strategy to Libya. When he returned to the Windsor Castle Hotel, he was busy formulating fourth-level tactics, covering this time's oil distribution negotiations by suppressing first and then increasing.
In the first stage, the British went to great lengths to threaten the Kingdom of Libya to give up its unrealistic claims under the external conditions of Algeria's 1.5 million French troops quelling the rebels.
During this period, Idris I also had to be beaten with the fate of Mossadegh, so that he would not act rashly.
In the second stage, under the arguments of Idris I, Britain rejected the claims of the Kingdom of Libya and threatened sanctions on the grounds that the Kingdom of Libya could not manage itself.
The third stage is the stalemate stage. Britain and Libya refuse to give in to each other, but both agree that at least they will not use force to solve the problem.
The fourth stage overturned the previous false reports. All public opinions that were not conducive to the friendly relations between the two countries were caused by some foreign forces' instigation between Britain and Libya, and finally reached an agreement.
In the end, the two countries overcame numerous difficulties and reached an agreement that was quite beneficial to both countries, achieving a win-win effect. .
During this period, some details of the negotiations were also made up, such as clarifying the actual situation in Libya, just like a child making trouble and hiding money. It is easy to be spied on by all forces.
"It's a pity that the Titan class is sold out." Alan Wilson lamented, otherwise it could be sold to Libya as an aircraft carrier.
After sixteen years of tireless efforts, Alan Wilson finally cleared out all the aircraft carriers before the Eagle class. If Idris I doesn't mind, he can try to sell a Centaur class to the Kingdom of Libya.
After meeting Idris I once, Alan Wilson stopped showing up and hid in the Windsor Castle Hotel, spreading news through the British Embassy in Libya to control public opinion.
This is also a very necessary step. It is a key step to test the hearts and minds of the Libyan people. It is naturally inevitable.
The fact that 1.5 million French troops defeated the rebels in Algeria is the basis for what he is doing now.
Britain pretended to be more difficult to mess with than France, so that when Idris I achieved results, he would be more easily supported by the subjects of the Kingdom of Libya.
Not to mention that he, the Permanent Under Secretary of the British Foreign Office, was simply the savior of the remaining feudal lords of the previous era.
Monarchies all over the world should give him a supernumerary minister to do this.
After clarifying the fourth-level tactics, Alan Wilson took Hedy Lamarr on the Rockets. Completely ignoring the turmoil in the entire Kingdom of Libya, it supported Idris I's move to defy power and recover oil shares from Britain and France.
The share of Libyan oil belongs to Britain and France. This is what Alan Wilson specifically asked his wife to do before. France's influence in North Africa is deeply rooted, and France has not given up on the idea of Algeria at that time.
This is even more true now. France had just won in Algeria. If it weren't for the subsequent impact of the French victory, he wouldn't be here this time. Wasn't he here just to balance the influence of France.
"Don't you feel tired from working like this?" Hedy Lamarr has followed the man out many times, and she feels quite surprised every time she sees Alan Wilson sowing discord, who calls himself Offshore Balance.
"We live on an island, unlike you mainland countries who don't have to think so much." Alan Wilson sighed and took the opportunity to win sympathy, "Our life is difficult, so we can only think of more diplomatic solutions."
This time, at least part of the Western Roman Empire was resurrected, putting great pressure on Britain. If not handled carefully, under normal circumstances, France's dominance among European countries is almost inevitable.
However, everything is a mixed bag. If Britain does not find a way to increase its national strength, it may be left behind by France. This may increase the sense of crisis. After all, there are still millions of square kilometers of land in the world that are still hanging on. With the prefix British.
If nothing else, as long as Malaya can be preserved, the effective land will be larger than Algeria, which is more than 80% desert. Britain should also have a sense of crisis, otherwise it will just wait to die like this.
Another potential benefit of France's increased strength is that the United States has to rely more on Britain. The expansion of France's power in Europe will inevitably make De Gaulle's independence even bolder. Some ideas may have been implemented earlier than historically.
This poses a challenge to the fact that the United States controls Europe. In this case, the United States needs the help of the United Kingdom and cannot be too tough. The situation of coercion and inducement towards the United Kingdom as in history should be alleviated.
Perhaps this will allow Britain and the United States to evolve into a more equal cooperative relationship. This principle is the same as when the Soviet Union is alive and the United States will stop bleeding its allies.
"I want to go out for a walk." Hedy Lamarr stayed in the hotel for a few days and made a suggestion when she was bored.
"Okay." Based on the current public opinion, Alan Wilson should have refused, but since it was Hedy Lamarr who spoke, he had no choice but to agree, put on a body armor and wear an Arab robe.
"Why don't you go out." Seeing a man of the same status as her husband facing a powerful enemy, Hedy Lamarr couldn't help but ridiculed, "I can't bear if something happens to you, and neither can I, your wife." Not to be offended."
"Let's go!" Alan Wilson grabbed Hedy Lamarr's hand, as if he was going to leave despite the thousands of people.
Although Tripoli is the capital of a country, it cannot be said to be very prosperous in this era. In a large country, the population is only that of a county-level city. Even if you walk, you will quickly leave the so-called prosperous zone and enter the civilian area. .
There is a farmhouse beside a road that runs north and south across the civilian area. The farmhouse was dirty and smelly inside. Rather than being a human residence, it would be more appropriate to call it a bird's nest. With few windows, the room was very dark.
Things were littered on the six-meter-square dirt floor, and from the sweltering henhouse on the roof beams, the clucking sounds of hens incubating eggs could be heard. Next to the wall stood a chicken ladder made of thin branches. A thin rooster stood on the rungs of the ladder covered with chicken excrement and yellow and white chicken feathers, protecting the hen on the roof beam.
In this farmhouse, which was all dirty, smelly, and poor, three boys were sitting around the stove, eagerly waiting for the sweet potatoes to be cooked quickly; they were tired of waiting.
One boy stretched out an arm under his head, holding half-burned firewood and flicking at the extinguished fire. He sighed. Another boy kicked impatiently with his thin feet. He kicked the floor, sometimes secretly looking into the pot that was not yet steaming, and sometimes glancing at the faces of his brothers.
They were silent, their wild eyes shining with incomparable enthusiasm, thinking only of the sweet potatoes being cooked.
They use their rich imagination to imagine the color, shape and taste of the food that will soon be in their mouths. The sleeping salivary glands in their mouths are suddenly awakened, saliva gushes from the base of their tongues, their lower cheeks feel strange pain, and they almost cry.
They seemed to feel some pain in their heads, and they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
These children are hungry all year round and never know what it means to be full. No matter it is day or night, they have only one thought in their minds, eating. So when it comes to eating, they lose their minds and appear hungry.
Alan Wilson understands that happiness comes from comparison, and prefers to go behind the scenes of prosperity. But seeing this scene, he felt particularly heavy. The Kingdom of Libya has the soil for revolution. This is not a reassuring conclusion.
"Let's go, my dear." He grabbed Hedy Lamarr's hand and turned around without forgetting to say, "It's rare for you to come to this kind of place, especially when you are alone. .”
"You had to come..." Hedy Lamarr was halfway through her words. Seeing the man's stern expression, she followed the man away without saying a word.
During this time, the residents of the Kingdom of Libya were feeling like a roller coaster. As invisible public opinion showed various aspects of life, Idris I, who was not very well supported, gradually became the backbone of the people.
They were excited by the king's argument and were angry at the British's obstruction. In the end, they turned into love for the motherland. And this is the sense of accomplishment in the manipulation of public opinion, especially for Alan Wilson.
Ten days later, after preparing the terms for Idris I to agree to, Alan Wilson appeared again in the palace of the King of Libya. At the same time, he also called media people from both countries to come together as a witness.
There are a total of fifteen clauses, not all of which protect the interests of Britain and France. Among them are funding for Libyan mental hospitals and welfare homes. Because caring for vulnerable groups is often an act of gaining favor, Pamela Mountbatten did establish the An institution for people with disabilities to house vulnerable people in Libya.
"The reason why the UK is so insistent on some issues is because many examples show that after the UK left, its own government after independence went even further. During this period, we have been talking to the Libyan government about the transfer of oil profits. The question of where to go after that. King Idris I has made a promise to the United Kingdom that he will use this money to benefit Libyan society and allow 60% of Libyans to live in cities within ten years. .”
Alan Wilson suddenly changed his identity and started Britain's whitewashing journey. There is indeed such a content in the treaty that Libya must start the process of urbanization with the support of Britain.
