Chapter 859 Allies Become More Suspicious

Latest website: In fact, there is nothing noteworthy about this treaty, and it is even much weaker than the original Baghdad Treaty in history.

The fundamental reason is that the Arab countries cannot let go of America's support for Israel.

Traditionally powerful countries in the Arab world, such as Egypt and Iraq, are vying for influence in the Arab world with Israel as the main shifter of conflicts. Egypt has a larger population and has been the center of Arab culture in recent centuries.

Although Iraq is not on the same level as Egypt in terms of population, it occupies two river basins and is backed by oil revenue.

Since the first Middle East war, Arab countries have been disgusted with the United States' deviant behavior. Now, ignoring the supporters behind Israel and happily confronting the Soviet Union in the north, it is difficult to gain the support of domestic public opinion.

Will the United States give up its support for Israel? Of course it's impossible. The Arab world has too much potential. Israel is a nail in the Arab world. It's just a matter of who supports Israel, not that no one supports Israel.

Those who support Israel can be the United States, the Soviet Union, and if necessary, France and the United Kingdom. So in the last war with the Middle East, both the United States and the Soviet Union supported Israel.

But the Soviet Union was different from the United States. Because of their different political systems, the Soviet Union could support it for a while and then stop. The United States could not do that. The Soviet Union withdrew when Israel was stable. As a result, in the Arab world now, the only thing that can be seen is that the United States supports Israel.

After the United Kingdom gets rid of the financial hostage of the United States, it is impossible to exchange its decades of operations in the Middle East for diplomatic support from the United States. The United Kingdom will not really put its heart and soul into setting up a model country in the Arab world. The local countries are at best protectorates. , not all colonies obey London, but they will not take the initiative to go to the United States to show their father's love.

Without the financial coercion of the United States, Britain could continue to practice an orderly retreat, and there was no need to force the Arabs to hang themselves because of any profit. In the final analysis, Britain was at a disadvantage after the war because of a lack of money. If its finances were extremely healthy and there were no problems with its internal circulation, why would it be subject to the arrogance of the United States?

Alan Wilson dared to conclude that the United States was actually unhappy when Britain settled its debts to the United States.

Because there is still a lot of heritage in the hands of the United Kingdom that has not been obtained by the United States. Compared with the billions of dollars in arrears, these heritages are priceless treasures. After passing this village, if you want to take it from the British in the future, the price you have to pay cannot be calculated in the billions.

"Suspicious allies are getting more and more dubious." Alan Wilson compared the remembered Baghdad Treaty with the current Ankara Treaty.

Decided to communicate with Sir Barron, his old boss at the end of Benefit Society, and ask about the situation in the Middle East.

And it also lists the countries that may be broken through by the United States. Alan Wilson has reason to believe that the United States is not satisfied with this member state of the Ankara Treaty. If you want to block the Soviet Union's southward route, without Iran's participation, this so-called defense line will be the same as nothing.

And relying on the gaping hole in the free world, Alan Wilson, now High Commissioner for the Colony of Malaya, was. Iran is still divided into three parts of the world. Mossadegh definitely doesn't like the Soviet Union, but that doesn't mean he likes the United States. He carefully balances the domestic situation.

Mossadegh, the Prime Minister of Iran, will not easily let Iran fall into this vortex. Therefore, in the telegram, Alan Wilson suggested that Sir Barron investigate whether the United States would take action against Mossadegh.

How to protect BP's interests if we take action? As for Iraq, the United States currently does not have much influence.

The so-called influence is largely achieved by garrisoning troops. In this era, the United States had many global bases, but it was not like the thousands of military bases spread all over the world later.

For example, the military base in Saudi Arabia was established after Iraq annexed Kuwait and the United States seized the opportunity to gain a foothold in Saudi Arabia.

The result of decades of expansion of U.S. military bases is that now many independent countries do not have U.S. military bases. Even in Pakistan, the United States exerts influence through the U.S. dollar.

Historically, Britain and the United States have stationed troops on each other, but due to various reasons, including MacArthur's frivolous attitude towards nuclear weapons, the military bases that were originally in Britain are now in France.

Alan Wilson did not guarantee that Mossadegh would be overthrown, but said that it was possible.

I hope that old bosses who are waiting to retire will not enter retirement early and stand up for the last time for the old imperialism.

As he sent the telegram, hands clasped around his waist, Alan Wilson pondered how to respond to a potential move by a suspicious ally. In the colonial field, Britain and France should of course adopt a cooperative attitude, but the colonial countries are not just Britain and France.

The Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, and Spain are all colonial countries, and Belgium only has the Belgian Congo in the center of Africa. And it is difficult to say that they are willing to take the lead for the sake of the colony. France has sufficient national strength and determination, and is now suppressing the resistance of the Algerians, not to mention the Netherlands, a neighbor of the Malayan colony.

But the most determined in the colonial field was Portugal under the rule of Salazar. Did the last colonial empire live up to its name? The only shackle is that Portugal itself is not very powerful.

"It seems that I have to help the Portuguese." Alan Wilson once again entered the role of being linked to the Six Nations. The last time he entered this state, he was still in New Delhi, but he had already helped the Netherlands design a partition route.

It just so happens that Governor Carle is still in Malaya and has agreed to use his connections to help the Mountbatten Group enter Brazil.

However, Alan Wilson did not rush to find Carle. When his wife was not paying attention, he went directly to his sister-in-law, Princess Margaret.

Alan Wilson put his hands on a familiar warm place and hugged Her Royal Highness the Princess, "I want to help you expand your career. Although you are a princess and an important member of the royal family, you should not rely on appropriation comparisons for some expenses. Good. It is actually very important for the royal family to reduce the chance of appearing in gossip news."

"Huh?" The princess who clamped her legs looked confused. Is her brother-in-law so serious? She couldn't help but teased, "If you take your hands out, it will be more convincing."

"Do you think I will give people advice casually?" As if he didn't hear Princess Margaret's teasing, Alan Wilson, who stood still, lowered his voice and said, "This is my wife's treatment, not casual. Anyone can get it.”

Alan Wilson did not lie. He supported the Hellmann family in Germany, helped Hedy Lamarr and Ingrid Bergman develop their careers in France, and helped Hepburn enter the acting world. Help Vivien Leigh take a step further, this is all without asking for anything in return.

Although there are exceptions, Greta Garbo likes to be a homebody, but this is not his problem.

He even went out of his way to help many female stars he had only been in contact with for a while. In fact, he didn't need to do this at all. Many of the female stars in the Golden Zodiac were not that familiar to him at all, but he still did it.

He is not Andy's kind of person who doesn't give money. He has given rewards in all areas within his ability. After all the calculations, in addition to being hollowed out, many women with the same status as their wives have also made money.

"What do you want me to do?" Princess Margaret thought for a long time and asked her brother-in-law for advice.

"I don't want you to worry about external things like money." Alan Wilson confessed affectionately, "I want to see a shining princess who is free to do what she wants to do."

It's hard to imagine that these sour words just came out of his mouth, and Alan Wilson himself didn't want to think about it again.

But the effect was very good. Princess Margaret's eyes were almost dripping with water. Her body and mind were in a state of double joy. She looked like an obedient baby, "I will listen to you."

"You should listen to your brother-in-law. He definitely has no intention of lying to you." After accurately receiving the signal from half of his butt, Alan Wilson said with a reserved face, "Then just do as I say, don't question what I say, you can Take the initiative to let Pamela help you progress in business, and I will help you communicate the rest."

"Yes." Princess Margaret's head was tilted directly on Alan Wilson's shoulder, her body was in a relaxed state, full of attachment, "I listen to my brother-in-law on everything."

"Her Royal Highness the Princess wants to go into business?" Alan Wilson pretended to be surprised, his eyes shifted from Pamela Mountbatten to Princess Margaret, his eyes were filled with those of problem children.

As if he didn't know about it at all, Pamela Mountbatten did not explain it, but just said, "Margaret said that the world is so big, and she also wants to replicate the miracle and go to Africa to see what she can find."

"Is that so?" Alan Wilson once again made a standard response expression, "But the environment in Africa is not very friendly. It is possible to lose everything. These factors must be considered. Of course, I am not stopping anything. After all, I don't I understand the situation. But I personally support Her Royal Highness the Princess’ career ambitions.”

"You might as well give it a try." Pamela Mountbatten glanced at Princess Margaret and agreed, "The world is such a big place, you really should walk around, maybe you will get something unexpected."

Unexpected gains definitely exist. In the early development of a country, especially when it relies on its own resources to lay the foundation, there will be a principle of proximity to resources, and try to find places with rich resources to build central cities.

For many late-developing countries, this principle occupies the majority. Alan Wilson agreed to help, saying that Governor Carle happened to be here and was willing to communicate with the Portuguese government on this occasion and sign a contract imitating the one signed with Australia. Colonies for exploration.

"Sounds good." Pamela Mountbatten didn't know that her husband had so many twists and turns in his heart. Poor her, she was manipulated by her husband.
