Chapter 1295 Mountbatten Retires

,

As for how Egypt changed from a monarchy to a constitutional monarchy, Alan Wilson cannot do this for him, but he is no stranger to things that shift the focus, which involves people's livelihood without touching the fundamentals. In fact, there are many things that can be done, which can be used temporarily Numbing the perception of the Egyptians.

To put it simply, we can think of ways to eliminate infectious diseases such as malaria from the perspective of health issues, which can be used to stabilize the status of the royal family. When the ruler of this country cares about the bottom class through this method, things will become easy.

"Before this, to say that a series of diseases are serious may require some data support, but I believe this is not a problem for Egypt." Alan Wilson thought of this, "If the import of some drugs is too expensive, If so, I suggest the queen to learn about the situation in India."

There is a large generic drug company in India. Of course, this company is also related to him. It was a company established by Pamela Mountbatten in India to contribute to the health of the people of the subcontinent.

India has a characteristic, that is, it only eats but does not vomit. It is well versed in the secret of beating dogs behind closed doors. Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea have all suffered under India's sickle to cut leeks, and of course a certain big country is no exception.

Alan Wilson would not dare to put good stuff in India, but generic drugs are an exception, and Britain also needs the diversity of the subcontinent for drug experiments.

Judging from the current situation in the Arab world, Egypt's transformation into a constitutional monarchy has been a great progress. Why Nasser is so famous in the Arab world? In addition to the blessing of Arab nationalism, he also pulled Egypt from an autocratic monarchy to a republic. Credit, regardless of what happened to Egypt later, this was a remarkable progress during the Nasser era.

At the same time, other Arab countries were still in a state where the royal family kept their word. Arab monarchies generally only started to carry out political reforms after the 1970s, let alone them. Iran's Pahlavi also started in the 1970s. The reform was first carried out, if Alan Wilson remembers correctly, it was in 1976, and then it was overturned.

At this time, Egypt is undergoing reforms. No matter how the final changes are, it can be regarded as being ahead of the Arab world and should be able to quell a lot of dissatisfaction among Egyptians.

Of course, Alan Wilson's assurance that once anti-government behavior instigated by external forces occurs in Egypt, Britain will definitely help at that time, is half true. First of all, Aiden and Ben didn't know about this matter. Even if they knew about it, they might be indifferent in the end. Even if they were not indifferent, they might not have time to intervene.

The two queens are open to constitutional monarchy. Anyway, both of them are women. As long as they can maintain their status and treatment, they don't have much nostalgia for the monarchy.

Alan Wilson, who is running for his country, is running up and down for the future of Egypt,

Jalahan also talked and laughed with a religious brother for the future of Pakistan. It is no secret that Pakistan has the support of the entire peace church world.

Don’t think that the hostile relationship between India and Pakistan will not affect its relationship with the peace world. In fact, the relationship between Pakistan and the Arab world goes back much earlier, even before the partition of India and Pakistan.

When Pakistan was just founded, Saudi Arabia provided treatment to Pakistan. For example, peace believers in Southeast Asia who wanted to make a pilgrimage to Mecca could directly go to the Pakistani embassy to issue a certificate. As long as Pakistan opened, they could make the trip.

Pakistan has been seeking reimbursement from Saudi Arabia for its armaments since a long time ago. The current Pakistan Air Force was established with Saudi money. Of course, we cannot forget Iran. Pakistan also has a very good relationship with Iran in this era. Iran is comparing itself with Saudi Arabia to see who can benefit more.

Pakistan has Pakistan's affairs, and he has his own affairs. The King of Morocco, Moulay Hassan II, naturally does not know that the spread of Moroccanism in Morocco is related to a certain offshore balancing country. He is still asking Sitara Ha's future issues.

"Sooner or later, the era of colonialism will pass. I believe General Franco understands this. But Moroccans may not need to be so anxious." Alan Wilson, the largest colonizer, keeps saying that the colonial era will pass, expressing Morocco's The future is still optimistic. "Actually, neither we nor Washington are very satisfied with France. We are just unwilling to break up with the French. We are also happy that Morocco has its own determination to be independent."

After all, Morocco is a traditional North African power with a much more glorious history than Algeria. It's just that Algeria fought a war of independence, which made it stronger in his mind. Now that France's rule over Algeria is firmly established, it is Morocco that is worried about the colonists' comeback.

Algeria became part of France, and Morocco became Algeria in its previous life. It must be said that the international situation is so changeable.

"I just managed to get the two countries to sign a ceasefire agreement, and the Indians said that Kashmir is an integral part of India." Foreign Secretary Rab Butler complained in front of Eden.

Even Eden's face is not good-looking. Mediating the conflict between India and Pakistan is something Eden is extremely concerned about. It can also be used to prove that Britain still maintains influence in South Asia.

India's move can be said to be quite disrespectful to Britain, and it also turned the Prime Minister's vow of mediation into a joke.

The problem is that when Eden was still in the House of Commons, he confidently told the opposition parties that Britain would be able to successfully mediate. Now Eden can already imagine how the Labor Party will laugh at him the next time he goes to the House of Commons. This is the shortcoming of diplomatic work. If it were more than 20 years ago, Eden would have made India pay for this behavior, but now?

Times have changed, and the British brand no longer seems to be so effective, and the UK seems to have little to do about India's behavior.

Alan Wilson happened to return to London and learned about the Prime Minister's disgrace. He also understood that Britain really could not deal with India from a position of strength. Think about it, Alan Wilson still didn't tell the Prime Minister about the oil embargo, it was like he was lighting fires everywhere while the Prime Minister was struggling to mediate, which would damage the relationship between Whitehall and the Cabinet.

And he has more important things. Marshal Mountbatten has submitted his retirement report and is preparing to end his military career. Obviously this matter is more important than the India-Pakistan conflict.

"The day has come!" Alan Wilson had a heavy face and did not hide his disappointment in front of Pamela Mountbatten. "Although it is said that there will be no major changes, dealing with the military in the future will not be so easy and comfortable. ”

Pamela Mountbatten originally thought that her husband understood her father's hard work, but the more she heard about it, the more she disagreed. She couldn't help pinching the man's arm and said, "I only know how to think about myself. Do you know how hard my father works every day? Do you think he is you?" , I worked until 2pm every day when I was in Kuala Lumpur.”

Even a man much younger than Mountbatten would be exhausted by a work and lifestyle like Mountbatten's. Mountbatten's working hours were very stable each week. He left his residence at nine o'clock on Monday morning and arrived at the office at ten thirty. Until 1:30 a.m. the next morning, he was working all the time except eating. At three o'clock in the morning, he had to start working again until five o'clock in the morning. I rested until nine o'clock and got up to work again. Have dinner at home and then work until eleven o'clock at night. On the third day, he started working at five o'clock. There was a formal banquet that night, and after the banquet, he worked until three in the morning.

On Thursday, an admiral came to have a working meal with him at nine o'clock. I took a short break at noon and then worked until three in the morning. I haven't left the office except to have something to eat. Even on holidays, he spends an average of five or six hours a day reviewing documents.

"There is something wrong with the Marshal's working methods. In fact, my working hours are also long. Going to Egypt this time is not as easy as it seems." Alan Wilson told the truth. This was all because he restrained what he was thinking and did not treat the two sides. The queen of the palace has any sense of prying eyes, otherwise she will be even more tired.

Alan Wilson does not deny that he is nostalgic for Field Marshal Mountbatten leading the British defense forces. If he denies it, he would be lying, but Mountbatten himself does not want to do it, and he will not force his father-in-law to continue 996.

"You are just asking my father to manage the army better, hoping to put the army on a rope." Pamela Mountbatten said this, "My father is about to retire. Do you think no one can do this?"

"My dear, you misunderstood. I can also influence the army by running Whitehall. It is not necessarily the master who holds the rope, but it must be the one who feeds it. I have the final say on how much military expenditure the army needs. Those generals have the final say. If your family wants to live a comfortable life, you have the final say. It doesn't necessarily have to be done by the marshal, so I have no objection to the marshal wanting to enjoy his retirement life."

Maybe this metaphor is not appropriate, but it is a fact. Pamela Mountbatten thought about it carefully and admitted that her husband's words made sense. Mountbatten's military career has entered its forty-ninth year, and it's time to take a rest.

On June 30, Prime Minister Eden approved Field Marshal Mountbatten's retirement application, and considering Mountbatten's outstanding achievements, he also gave Alan Wilson a day off.

In the evening, he took his family and followed Mountbatten to Buckingham Palace. Mountbatten was about to pay a formal visit to his niece-in-law, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth. When he came to the audience hall of Buckingham Palace, he was welcomed by the Queen. The Queen said she had something to give to him. The Queen personally did the awarding process and wore the medal on Mountbatten's chest.

"There are not many people in the whole of Britain who have this kind of treatment." Alan Wilson, who was applauding, turned his head and whispered to Pamela Mountbatten in a low voice.

"I don't deny this." Pamela Mountbatten smiled brightly, and she was obviously happy that her father was being treated like this.
