Chapter 1287 Resource Offensive

British Civil Service Text Volume Chapter 1,287 Resource Offensive The entire Yemen exceeds 500,000 square kilometers. The area managed by the Arabs themselves is North Yemen, while the British colony is South Yemen.

South Yemen occupies two-thirds of the entire Yemen, but its population is only one-third that of the north. This is normal. The United Kingdom also likes places with vast land and sparsely populated areas and low management costs.

When it comes to Yemen, we have to talk about British India, because the vicinity of Aden is part of British India. British India is much larger than people realize. The former Straits Settlements of Malaya were also administered by New Delhi for a period of time. So it’s not surprising that Indians want to inherit the British Empire’s territory in Asia. Who wouldn’t be greedy for such a vast territory from the Persian Gulf to the Strait of Malacca?

Alan Wilson is no stranger to the Free Officers Organization. If it were not for this organization led by Nasser, there would be no Suez Canal War. Although he drove the panoramic map to nip the organization in the bud in Egypt, Algeria, The organization's vitality has been proven both in Libya.

Britain really does not have the energy to pursue this organization all over the Arab world. It can only shape public opinion and make Arab monarchies wary of the existence of this organization.

Then they stigmatized the Free Officers Organization, saying that Syria, which had become a pro-Soviet country, supported the emergence of this organization.

He did not think that this organization also existed in Yemen. After some weighing, Alan Wilson decided to ignore him. The reason was of course that Yemen did not have much value for the British to continue to hunt.

Arab countries all have a certain amount of oil and natural gas, but compared with the emirates of the Persian Gulf, Yemen's resources are not valuable enough for Britain to seize. It has always maintained a high-pressure state, and there is no benefit in attracting hatred.

In addition to oil and gas, Alan Wilson, who had the memory of later generations, also knew that gold mines existed in Yemen.

Large amounts of gold deposits have been found in many places in Hajjah, Hadramout, Saada, Jawf, Abyan and other provinces and in the Sanaa region. Among them, the gold mines in Hajjah Province can reach 40 million tons, with a gold content of 65 grams per ton of ore; the Madn Valley of Hadramaut Province has about 678,000 tons of gold mines, with a gold content of about 15 grams per ton; found in the western plains The gold content of gold mines in Sana'a is 12 to 32 grams per ton; in Sana'a, the gold content is 3 to 5 grams.

The reason is the same as the previous one. The quality of these gold mines is not bad, but compared with the gold mines on the Gold Coast, Australia, and even the New Guinea island where Pamela Mountbatten just started exploring, they are not worth investing in.

Before these Yemeni representatives arrive, Alan Wilson will create a reasonably confidential document about these minerals that have not been discovered yet and give it to these independent leaders. Let these Yemenis know that Yemen is not nothing, and it is possible to develop well. After all, in this era, Yemen’s population problem is not serious.

It can be said that Alan Wilson was very sincere in returning this colony with oil, natural gas and gold mines to Yemen in its entirety.

The key is that Britain's colonial heritage is too rich. With him as the cabinet secretary who opened the panoramic map, he has extracted the most valuable parts of the British colonies. He even extracted the Brazilian iron ore, but he only let Pamela Mountbatten gave a portion to the Americans.

"Let me tell the public one thing, that is, the UK will fully witness the independence of Yemen and will never have any thoughts of partition. British India is just an accident. It is not a British tradition. You can recall history. In the past two hundred years, we have merged In many places, it is actually obvious." Alan Wilson told Brest to pay attention to the guidance of public opinion.

Some foreigners who were full and had nothing to do always criticized the British process of making the colonies independent, without saying that there was any conspiracy in it. Had Ali Jinnah not threatened Britain with civil war without partition, Britain would have wanted British India to retain its complete independence.

India lost the entire Indus River Basin and the Ganges Delta, which is equivalent to the Yellow River Basin and the Yangtze River Estuary of a large country. No wonder the British were there. Who turned Ali Jinnah from an Indianist to a separatist? Not British anyway.

The independence of Yemen will be an opportunity for Britain to defend itself. He feels that the Arabs have nothing to say. Do they still expect Britain to merge the Arab empire and then applaud and celebrate?

Prime Minister Eden is also eagerly looking forward to the opening of the round table meeting. Because of a momentary gaffe in the House of Commons, saying that nuclear submarines are comparable to those of the United States, the Prime Minister has been troubled recently, especially by the criticism from the Labor Party.

Before the Yemeni delegation arrived in London, Lin Lianyu, a local Chinese educator in Malaya, first came to London to meet privately with Alan Wilson. The public name was to inspect the foundation of the British education power, and to continue learning. In fact, It is to report the situation in Xiangjiang.

Because the Vietnam War has begun, Xiangjiang has inevitably been affected to a certain extent. For example, some banned products cannot be traded as openly as before. There is nothing that can be done about it. The United States has to give face, and normal trade has not stopped.

"We would like to express our gratitude for the completion and supply of the Dongshen Water Supply Project. Xiangjiang is a British colony only temporarily and will return to your hands sooner or later." After seeing Lin Lianyu, Alan Wilson said directly, "The interests of the United Kingdom and the United States It is not completely unanimous, we also want to make decisions that are completely in line with British interests, and the current status of Hong Kong needs to be jointly maintained by our two countries."

"Master Zhongtang, the other party also understands Britain's difficulties." Lin Lianyu hesitated and informed the results of this communication, and a certain major country expressed its understanding.

"Diplomacy basically starts from the position of strength. At the beginning, the success of British diplomacy relied on the British national strength. Now we have to consider it more because the British national strength is not as good as before. In fact, Washington hopes that the British will completely close the Hong Kong port. We The reason why they refused was because Britain still had the strength to say no. The water supply issue prevented Washington from pushing too hard." Alan Wilson also explained Britain's difficulties.

It is true that Britain has partially returned to the United Kingdom before World War II, but the United States is no longer the United States before World War II.

Even if the United Kingdom can still maintain the framework of a world power, it must admit that the United States is the strongest. It has done its best to maintain normal imports and exports, and it is impossible to be completely unaffected by the Vietnam War.

The UK is still losing money. If we don’t work harder elsewhere this year, our overseas earnings may not be so good.

Another important reason for maintaining relations is that China and France have established diplomatic relations. This is also an explanation given by the United Kingdom to Washington. The United States can know that the United Kingdom maintains a certain level of communication, but if France does this, the United States may not necessarily know.

"I have said it all, but I still hope that Southeast Asia, especially Malaya, can maintain stability." Lin Lianyu continued, "Don't you all know this, Master Zhongtang?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I don't know anything." Alan Wilson shook his head and denied, "I only want to say one thing about the Vietnam War. Don't underestimate the strategic strength of the United States. As far as I know, the US military's strategy is Based on defensive counterattack, we have not launched any ground battles.”

The United States also has strategic determination. Washington is not a group of Slavic diodes. It will either continue to provide benefits. If the benefits cannot continue, it will increase resistance and thicken the iron rod.

"In the final analysis, the eggs of your country are held in the hands of the Americans, not the British. Even if you temporarily change your tone and say that Malaya has been an integral part of you since ancient times, London does not care. Putting a nuclear bomb in the heart of Kuala Lumpur."

Alan Wilson sighed, "We judge that the United States will not win this time, but one thing has not changed. The United States can hit your doorstep at any time, not the other way around. With the geographical location of the United States, as long as it can ensure the security of its homeland , even if Chang Gong's island is used as a nuclear test site, there is nothing you can do. The road before your country is that you can defeat the most powerful maritime power of the United States, and then you can truly stand up and be a human being. Just watch the United States at your doorstep It’s useless to laugh at people.”

The words are somewhat unacceptable, but it is also a fact. Detonating the fraud island will not achieve the goal. The United States still has Japan in its hands. If Japan is detonated, it will not be able to stop the rise of a certain big country?

We in the United States have long discovered that the Japanese Communist Party has not been completely eliminated, and it is time for the Sino-US alliance to start again.

Anyway, later generations have not even touched the first cordon, let alone allowed the United States to detonate Japan. It is useless for the army to be strong. For example, if the land and sea are strong, the United States feels that the gains outweigh the losses and peaceful coexistence can be achieved.

The Malayan colonies are also making their own preparations for the Vietnam War. Richard is building the Kra Defense Line along the junction of the Kra Isthmus to prevent the impact of the Indochina War from spilling over. As for the East Horse, don't worry, unless the enemy can swim over.

The independent leaders who came to London this time belonged to seven different forces, including representatives of the Free Officers' Organization and six emirates. The six emirates are all tribal leaders in South Yemen. As for the royal family of North Yemen, they have fled to Saudi Arabia and were taken in by the Saudi royal family.

This is the current situation in Yemen as a whole. The Houthi armed forces of later generations are actually in North Yemen, but now North Yemen is controlled by the Free Officers Organization. This change will definitely make Saudi Arabia not very happy, but Saudi Arabia in this era has little influence and will certainly not be able to organize a coalition of peace religions to act as a Sunni leader.

Under the complex gaze of the Saudis, the Yemen Independence Roundtable opened in London. Prime Minister Eden paid so much attention to it that Alan Wilson began to perform the duties of the Permanent Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and personally came forward to have a good talk with these people. Can you Find a way to get the best of both worlds.

In order to show his sincerity, Alan Wilson first launched a resource offensive and started to guide the meeting with documents on oil, natural gas and gold mines discovered in Yemen, which contained both true and false information.
