"Your Majesty, you are welcome. In terms of national attributes, if Egypt does not maintain friendly relations with the United Kingdom, who can we trust?" Alan Wilson smiled and nodded, not hiding his reactionary stance.
It goes without saying that monarchies maintain friendly relations with monarchies. He believed that Farouk I could understand this.
As for King Farouk I's visit to the UK, the longer it is, the better. It will also go through a series of publicity campaigns. In the end, a king like Ali Pasha will be created, who will use all possible means except war to obtain the greatest benefits for Egypt.
As for the reply to Whitehall, Alan Wilson of course said that regarding the ownership of the Suez Canal, he had clearly informed Egypt's King Farouk I that there was nothing to talk about.
"Although this is the fact, you still have to pay attention to the way you speak and try to be tactful." Norman Brook pondered for a moment and said, "It's not that we haven't noticed your voice from the Egyptian people, but the importance of the Suez Canal to Britain , you understand even if I don’t say it.”
"As an overseas commissioner who is isolated in Asia by the Suez Canal, I think I understand." Alan Wilson understood it well. The cement shipped from British Malaya to the British mainland was not actually profitable. If you look carefully, it was losing money.
It just uses steel to blend back profits, which is also based on Australia's high-quality iron ore and the steel industry in British Malaya that has begun to take shape. British Malaya, which was in the early stages of development, could certainly not avoid the stage where any country wants to promote exports in its early stages and must adopt a model of small profits but quick turnover.
The Suez Canal is very important. If you use the Suez Canal, British Malaya's exports to Europe will be like Japan's exports to the United States. Although it is more difficult, it will definitely be profitable.
But what if the Suez Canal wasn't around and we circled Africa? Of course Britain didn't care during the world war. The surge in costs during peacetime was simply not worth the gain.
Alan Wilson, who already has a verbal agreement with Farouk I, also said this could be a protracted battle.
"That's no problem. Judging from the comparison between Britain and Egypt, Britain has a clear advantage in terms of international status, economic strength and military." Norman Brooke said nonchalantly, "Since the advantage is mine, there is nothing to say. of."
"Well, it's true." Alan Wilson opened his mouth. On the surface, it was indeed 800,000 versus 600,000, but this was typical data deceiving people. He said what he thought, "If it's just According to the British and Egyptians, this is true, so we must try our best to avoid external interference."
Norman Brooke also recognized,
Of course he knew who Alan Wilson was referring to by external interference, and this was indeed something worth noting.
Bullying is what Alan Wilson is currently doing. He, Farouk I and Norman Brooke all say the same thing, which is to prolong the negotiation cycle as much as possible and dampen the opponent's spirit.
Especially in front of Farouk I, he was simply a two-faced person lurking inside Wei Da Ying.
Alan Wilson, who demonstrated the reliability of the Kingdom of Egypt's Supervisory Minister with practical actions, discussed with King Farouk I on how to achieve win-win results.
"After some time, His Majesty the King should release and negotiate in London the bad news in Egypt. If necessary, by means of mixed truth and falsehood, spread through some gossip, the British threaten to detain you in London."
Following Alan Wilson's words, Farouk I nodded frequently and said, "This is a good idea. The king is threatened by the British for the interests of Egypt. Even the most radical nationalists can't find fault with it."
"That's it, Your Majesty." Alan Wilson sighed with a knowing smile, "Let the Egyptians have a preconception, and then we need to also give a turning point, so that the Egyptians will accept that they cannot get the Suez Canal back. .As for the filing, I already talked with His Majesty when I was in Egypt last time."
"I just thought I was on vacation in London. There is nothing in Egypt except desert." Farouk I took a deep breath and shook his head. "You in the UK have a very fertile land, which is really enviable."
Is Britain fertile? Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows, but when he thought about Egypt's land conditions, the British land was really fertile. "Once the Aswan Dam starts construction, Egypt's situation will change."
When he said this, he definitely made a decision that went against his ancestors. Egypt can no longer be saved by a dam.
Let’s not talk about what will happen to Egypt in the future. Anyway, the problem will not be big in twenty years. If it really doesn’t work, we can let the United States take over in the future. Anyway, the United States will take over the 21st century, but before handing it over to the United States, it still needs to establish Egypt's independent image and create more obstacles for the United States to station troops in the future.
From now on, his task is to accompany Farouk I and Vivien Leigh, who is about to return to the United States to attend the Oscars. This is the so-called balancing of public and private matters.
But he forgot that this was the UK, and the consequence was that sometimes he had to take some time to deal with his sister-in-law.
After a long kiss, Princess Margaret, who was out of breath, sat on the man's lap, her eyes almost dripping with water. In addition to being dizzy, the big hand on her chest gave her an electric touch, whispering Said, "Brother-in-law..."
"Hey!" Seeing the British limited edition original luxury car that had turned pink, Alan Wilson sighed, "Margaret, this is not okay. We are all adults and should control ourselves. You are like this It's forcing a promising Whitehall official to make mistakes."
Alan Wilson spoke very forcefully, which is probably what the so-called eating and drinking was like. If he took off the hand that was still covering the princess's heart, it would definitely be more convincing.
"I have been more obedient!" Princess Margaret was cautious. This princess, who has always been known for her natural will, has changed her original willfulness too much. Isn't it still unsatisfactory now?
The answer is no! At least Alan Wilson feels that it is not enough now, and Her Royal Highness the Princess still has huge room for improvement. The current situation is still high-risk, and of course it will take a long time to adjust.
"You are going to get married, won't anyone introduce you to a good match?" Alan Wilson turned away with a guilty look on his face, looking like a sanctimonious hypocrite. At this moment, the hand that was rubbing the princess's chest still hadn't been put down. .
"There are a few candidates, but I don't like them." Princess Margaret seemed unaware. She hooked one hand around Alan Wilson's neck and maintained her current sitting position and said, "Brother-in-law, don't you like me? ?”
Princess Margaret was a little worried, afraid that she would hear something she didn't like. Even though this was the case, this man still didn't like her.
"The question is never whether you like it or not. As a princess, your status is reduced. There is only one problem. I am your brother-in-law, and you are still a princess. This is the biggest problem."
Alan Wilson sighed quietly, feeling that today's tutorial was almost done and he had to get out safely.
The twenty-three-year-old Princess Margaret has reached the best years of her life. Alan Wilson has become increasingly unable to restrain his inner impulse. Today he couldn't help but give the princess a long kiss. What will happen in the future? ah.
When the princess left, Alan Wilson, holding a cigarette in his mouth, suddenly blurted out, "Why do so many beautiful women love me at the same time?"
He is quite angry now, and Vivien Leigh is about to leave. These two days are the time to pester her, killing two birds with one stone.
During this period of public and private considerations, some unconfirmed gossip also appeared in Egypt. The common point of these news is that they revolve around the diplomatic struggle between Egypt and Britain against Farouk I.
This time, Farouk I rushed Queen Elizabeth to the throne and came to the UK to take the opportunity to discuss with the British government the ownership of the Suez Canal. This was what Farouk I said before leaving.
Of course, all Egyptians enthusiastically supported His Majesty the King's actions, but as a few weeks passed in a blink of an eye, and the King was still stranded in London, some news about the British house arrest of Farouk I began to spread uncontrollably in Egypt. .
At the critical moment when Farouk I was fighting for the ownership of the canal, news of being under house arrest began to spread, which of course led to the sympathy of the Egyptian people for His Majesty the King. The King may not be as popular as Ali Pasha, but on this issue, he still got The support of all Egyptians.
Public opinion in Egypt has been reported to Whitehall through the British Embassy in Cairo. Sir Ismay, the Permanent Under-Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, had to find Alan Wilson and ask, "What happened to Farouk I?"
"Maybe he did it deliberately, wanting to create a public opinion to put pressure on us." Of course, Alan Wilson couldn't say it was related to himself, and instead praised Farouk I for his wisdom and martial prowess.
"That thief has such a plan?" Sir Ismay said with a somewhat disbelieving expression. He did not dare to say that he had read countless people, but he did not see that Farouk I seemed to have such a talent.
Alan Wilson's expression was the same as Sir Ismay's. He thought and said, "Actually, I can see it, but my dear Sir, after all, none of us have ever been kings. There may be some problems. We only have to be in a similar position." Talent comes naturally.”
"Maybe!" Sir Ismay was convinced. He did not see Alan Wilson's relieved look. He took out a report from Moscow and said with a wry smile, "Sometimes I wonder what our diplomats are doing. Beria hasn’t been seen in public for several days, what does that mean?”
"Huh?" Alan Wilson's mind raced and he calculated the time. It was almost the time when Beria was purged. "For the Soviet Union, it may really mean a lot of things."
