Chapter 679 The Princess’ Favor

Shocked by Alan Wilson's straightforward approach, King Farouk I pondered for a long time and blurted out, "Can Britain return the canal to Egypt immediately?"

"No! This may break out a war, so the UK is not willing to see changes in the political situation in Egypt." Alan Wilson flatly refused, "We do not want to see an important monarchy be overthrown, because past experience shows that Governments that emerge as revolutionaries will always do some very radical things. It is not good for either country. What I am talking about is the Soviet Union. The money owed to Britain and France was not repaid, and the Soviet Union also suffered a long-term blockade. Now it is suffering from Hostility is also related to the original behavior.”

This behavior can be said to be from all aspects. For Farouk I, the fate of Nicholas II's family was one of them, so he can understand the psychology of helping this time.

"Then what else can you say? The hostility among the Egyptian people may exist for a long time. It's not that I don't know the problem, but you Britain won't give it. That's the problem." Farouk I looked at the palace maid in the distance, feeling salty. He said calmly.

"We don't want to see changes in Egypt's political situation, so on the premise of not damaging the control of the Suez Canal, I have a way to temporarily divert attention. Of course, this requires the understanding of His Majesty the King and the cooperation of the British government in putting on a show." Alan Wilson changed the topic, "In fact, the Suez Canal in the hands of Britain and France is conducive to the balance of the world. If His Majesty the King thinks that this has nothing to do with Egypt, then because of this canal and the oil resources in the Middle East, we will do our best to help Arabs, against Israel, confrontation helps monarchs win popular support.”

"The biggest benefit is that it can stabilize the status of the monarchs of various countries!"

"So your solution is to build a dam?" Farouk I frowned, "in exchange for Egypt not forcibly taking back control?"

"Although this is true, it would be meaningless to put it too bluntly." Alan Wilson did not deny Farouk I's statement. "Of course, I believe that the Kingdom of Egypt has relevant talents and will use favorable public opinion to bring this matter to Egypt." The people accept it. My idea is to do it slowly to give the Egyptians hope and give the British time."

"Mr. Allen, you can tell me directly, I will seriously consider it." Faruk I made a gesture of invitation and listened.

As long as Farouk I does not object, this matter is completely negotiable. What Alan Wilson means is that Farouk I will use one year to first stabilize his position, and then propose to Britain to take back control of the Suez Canal.

Britain and France would definitely oppose it for the first time. After a long period of negotiation and struggle, King Farouk I proposed the construction of the Aswan Dam and asked Britain and France to provide support in exchange for not temporarily taking back control of the Suez Canal. .

Alan Wilson remembered that the Aswan Dam took ten years to complete. The project took so long that it gave the UK a long time to consider.

Then taking back the Suez Canal will have to wait at least until the Aswan Dam is built. After the completion of the project, it would not be too much to waste a few more years in negotiations between Egypt and Britain and France. A quick calculation shows that the time has already reached the mid-1970s.

By that time, Alan Wilson believes that the outcome of whether to maintain the world empire framework or to shrink it has already been determined, and the situation should be clear by then.

The best outcome is that Britain and France agree to return control of the Suez Canal to Egypt. The worst outcome may still have to return it, and it may not even be very pleasant.

But at that time, Britain and France should not make the decision to go to war over control of the canal.

In this way, Farouk I could use the electrification brought about by the Aswan Dam project to pretend that Ali Pasha was still alive. Britain and France can also exit in a dignified way. This is beneficial to both parties!

Furthermore, with Egypt’s current economic strength, does it need to win support from foreign capital? The UK can provide this kind of support. After all, it is a matter of making money, and it can also stabilize the status of the pound. The loan given by the UK must be in pounds.

Maybe there will be industrial support from British Malaya, which can also promote the export of industrial products in Malaya. Generators and high-end machines are not acceptable, but steel and cement are always available.

Britain has used this help to prove its reliability in front of Faruk I.

The bloodstains on the streets of Cairo were still wet, and King Farouk I, who was frightened and angry, finally agreed after hearing this method that could gain real benefits.

Alan Wilson has no reason not to trust a king who makes a promise. At least a king is always more trustworthy than a politician's promise.

At this point, Alan Wilson felt lonely as he drew his sword and looked around to see who was his opponent in the world.

This patrol should be regarded as a successful completion of the mission, killing a pan-African independent leader, resolving Iran's oil disputes, and helping Farouk I eliminate the Free Officers Organization.

Alan Wilson, who accepted the Whitehall mission this time, can be said to have secured numerous export markets for Malaya by the way. Britain opened a door in Europe for Malayan exports, and the remaining colonies and protectorates were also directed.

In terms of the population of British Malaya, this market was no smaller than the market opened by the United States to Japanese exports. After all, the population of Malaya is not comparable to that of Japan.

At the end of this inspection, Alan Wilson can say with a clear conscience that he has given Malaya the greatest convenience under an order that the British can still control, and he is worthy of his position as commissioner.

What remains is the issue of competition with Japan, which he cannot help with. We can only hope that the Chinese are not lazier than the Japanese. If you can step on it, step on it. If you can't step on it, keep pace.

Japan is a country that has a clear mind about what it has done, but it just pretends to be confused on the surface. And what is certain is that whether it is the Wild Goose Array or the Quadruple Alliance of the United States, Japan, Australia, and India first proposed by Japan in the 21st century.

It can be easily seen that Japan has always had great malice towards China. This naturally has nothing to do with Alan Wilson, a British man, but his idea of ​​​​seeking benefits for Britain naturally cannot fall on a country with American troops stationed. At this time, the colonies under its jurisdiction are more trustworthy, and anti-Japanese resistance is an inevitable choice.

Alan Wilson, who received assurances from Farouk I, returned to London on a special plane that turned back again. As for what he had to discuss with Nkrumah before? What can we talk about when everyone is gone?

Davis' job on the Gold Coast couldn't be extended to another trip to British West Africa, right? They were all very busy, and their swinging sticks were all rusty.

If Alan Wilson hadn't wanted to get rid of this fool, his wife, who was already pregnant, would not have left London and went to Paris to help. At this time, Pamela Mountbatten had returned to London and was ready to recuperate for two months. Headed to live in Western Australia after London weather turned sour.

One day later, Alan Wilson, who had drawn his sword and looked around without any opponents, had returned to London. He did not even stop in Paris, although as a man, he should be obliged to do so.

First, he went to Whitehall to submit a report. He talked about his understanding of the Iran negotiations and also reported on the recent coup of the Free Officers Organization in Egypt. This cannot be concealed. Even if he did not say it, the British army in Cyprus would report it.

But this unauthorized action was directly forgiven by Norman Brook because of the success of the result.

"By the way, Alan, after your term as Commissioner of Malaya ends, are you willing to take charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Do Sir Ismay's current job." Norman Brooke smiled and said, "I think highly of you." road.

Alan Wilson certainly received the proper signal of progress, and directly expressed a positive response to the care of the civil servant leader, and then also mentioned his own difficulties, "The work in Malaya is not on the right track yet. Of course I am very I am willing to return to my hometown immediately, but this is always not reassuring.”

"No problem, I also expect you to make greater achievements." Norman Brooke nodded with satisfaction, "You have worked hard these past few months, take a good rest, otherwise Pamela may make things difficult for me, an old man who is inconsiderate. .”

"Sir Norman, you are in your prime, but you have nothing to do with the word old." Alan Wilson exclaimed, "Thank you Sir for your recognition, then I will leave first."

Regarding the remedial lessons for Farouk I, there were only two people at the time, and Grace, the only one who knew the inside story, had returned to Northern Rhodesia.

Alan Wilson did not report. After all, this matter is somewhat suspected of poaching the British Empire. Although he is essentially thinking about Britain, it is something that cannot be stated openly.

Pamela Mountbatten is at the Emerald House estate in Hoxon. Because Alan Wilson brought back some cuneiform tablets for collection, Pamela Mountbatten put these historical relics in the Emerald House for collection. She also went there Hoxon.

When Alan Wilson felt this, Princess Margaret was also there. They were both very happy to see Alan Wilson, who had been patrolling for several months, back.

Alan Wilson, who was still thinking about slapping his face with a stick when he saw his wife, proved with actual actions that he would never get rid of the habit of bragging in front of women in his life. The tricks of the Dragoon Sisters were simply tailor-made for him. .

Talking about the contribution made by this tour to the empire, including but not limited to the achievements in Egypt, Iran and the Gold Coast, Alan Wilson put his hands on his waist and sounded awesome.

"It's really hard work!" Pamela Mountbatten knew that her husband's final destination was the Iranian oil dispute, which could be regarded as eliminating the hidden danger for her. "By the way, do you want to see the clay tablets you brought back? I put it on the emerald The house is empty, go get the key."

With that said, Pamela Mountbatten got up and went upstairs. Princess Margaret moved her buttocks and sat next to Alan Wilson.

Alan Wilson was wary and stared straight at his sister-in-law. Just as he was about to speak, the princess had already approached her with an admiring look on her face, leaving her warm red lips.

"You're crazy, I'm your brother-in-law." Alan Wilson, who couldn't avoid it, scolded in a low voice, not forgetting to glance upstairs.
