Chapter 1021 – Delaying Tactics
“Britain is disappointed for this time when the United States and the United Kingdom disagree on some issues.” In the face of the media reporters who came on the wind, Alan Wilson reddened his eyes, his mouth full of regret for the current friction between the United Kingdom and the United States.
“I want to emphasize that the Iranian issue Britain has long since adjusted the proportion of oil distribution, and the United States of America’s similar companies is the same proportion, this is not a colonial issue, the same I still believe that the existence of a special relationship between Britain and the United States, the two countries will certainly eliminate misunderstandings.”
At this moment, in the face of the many spotlights, Allen Wilson’s face was gloomy, a look of helplessness in this matter of British and American diplomatic disputes, full of acting skills! Distant Europe, Greta Garbo saw the image on the TV and could not help but frown, “You can play the leading man in the middle of a big production movie.”
Greta Garbo forgot that Allen Wilson had already gotten the leading man treatment here at the major movie queen.
This journey to save the diplomatic friction between Britain and the United States was not completed by Allen Wilson with a million pangs of resentment. The Iranian oil crisis is about to evolve to the next stage.
To save the diplomatic friction between Britain and the United States, he was absolutely serious, and just in the short time that he came to the United States, he visited multiple people to mobilize their connections, and Lana Turner, Joan Bennett, Joan Crawford, and Bette Davis were all trying to find ways to help.
In the end it failed to stop the United States from taking a different stance from Britain, for whom he had given so much.
Before leaving the United States, Alan Wilson even found Marilyn Monroe, hoping that this sexy goddess, like Khrushchev’s visit to the United States, to say a few words for Britain.
Purpose did not reach, can only take away with regret Marilyn Monroe and Kennedy private meeting photos.
Because of the importance of the matter, this kind of photo or he personally take away better, this is all for the interests of the United Kingdom.
Took off from Los Angeles, after a transit, he once again returned to Australia to join his wife, while attending the opening ceremony of his sister-in-law’s chain of hotels, high-end hotel chain profits and profits from the sale of resources can not be compared, but it is more focused on the celebrity effect.
Hilton Hotel in the United States, at this time has been very famous, and Princess Margaret’s chain of hotels business has just begun, but called the name of the Windsor Hotel on?
The Windsor Hotel, which had just opened, had Perth’s beach outside its windows, and on a chair near the balcony, the petite Princess Highness leaned helplessly against the man’s chest, clearly not yet recovered from her deep squatting exercise.
“Your Highness, there won’t be any problems with using Windsor’s name, will there?” One hand dragged Princess Margaret’s smooth spine, which prevented the physically exhausted princess from slipping down, Alan Wilson inquired in a low voice.
“It shouldn’t be a problem.” Princess Margaret whispered in a weak voice, “I’m a capricious princess in the public eye anyway, the Queen won’t mind.”
“That’s in the eyes of the public, in the eyes of my brother-in-law Your Highness is a very lively and lovely princess, bringing a splash of special color to the stereotypical royal impression.” Looking at the waves looming in the distance, Alan Wilson was so proud that he directly picked Margaret up.
Her Highness had sacrificed quite a bit to take care of the man’s feelings, and the necessary cleaning was done.
Once again appearing in people’s line of sight, the two of them talked and laughed, discussing about the grand blueprint about opening a chain of hotels all over the world, “I want to open one a year, so that the Windsor Castle Hotel exists in the capital of every country.”
Listening to his sister-in-law’s grandiose words, Alan Wilson favored with polite compliments, “Opening one in a year may not be enough, the opening of some colonial capitals can be faster. In fact, in diplomacy, some industries related to the royal family are very good for Britain’s image abroad, and from this point of view, I am happy to see Your Highness’s career-mindedness.”
Her Royal Highness wants to develop her career and put a system of high-end hotel chains in place, isn’t that just a matter of words for those who are the managers of the Overseas Asset Management Board?
Take the Nigerian Autonomous Territories for example, once Nigeria becomes independent, the British immigrants residing in Nigeria will surely experience a wave of return, the luxurious communities that once housed the colonizers will be emptied out, and it will not be a breeze for Allen Wilson to pick landmarks to allocate to Princess Margaret to open a hotel in the process?
Lagos, the capital of Nigeria, could do it, and any colonial capital could follow suit.
“That would require Sir Wilson’s help.” Princess Margaret, maintaining her ladylike demeanor in public, thanked him in an affable but not too distant tone.
“Your Highness what are you talking about, for your Highness’s endeavors, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will not be a resistance even if it cannot provide help.” Alan Wilson said in a double entendre, “I see that tomorrow, the documents for the hotel chains in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore will be in hand.”
The question of whether this counts as enrichment or not is a complex one, depending on how one looks at it. First of all, it must be stated that no matter whether it is nationalization to privatization, or privatization to nationalization, by and large, the same problem will occur, that is, the loss of assets.
Where there is a loss, there is bound to be someone who benefits, except that in the case of colonial independence, this time it is the Crown. Who says that the royal family can not benefit, simply outrageous, better than politicians benefit.
Alan Wilson had a busy schedule to get through to his sister-in-law, so that the assets that had passed through the process of the disintegration of the colonies of the British Empire would fall into the hands of the people who deserved them.
“Margaret’s careerism seems to have shown itself more and more in the last two years.” Pamela Mountbatten returned home and commented to her husband, who was holding a thermos.
“That’s a good thing, I guess, one always has some hobbies.” Alan Wilson responded flatly, “It’s better to have some cause than to go around fooling around every day.”
“That’s true.” Pamela Mountbatten nodded, then muttered with a turn of phrase, “But she’s also about to turn thirty, and the marriage issue already has to be considered, but it seems like she’s not on board.”
“Oh, yeah.” Alan Wilson picked up a thermos of goji berries and took a sip, saying to himself, “But this is ultimately an internal matter of the royal family, the two of us are still not in a position to interfere in this, don’t you think so?”
“That’s true.” Pamela Mountbatten sat directly next to her husband and smoothly leaned on the man’s shoulder, “Whatever.”
Though unrelated to the throne, as a prominent member of the royal family, Princess Margaret was also the president or honorary president of several organizations that dealt with child welfare, medical care, music, and the arts, to name a few dozens of titles.
London at the beginning of the year can not talk about how pleasant the scenery, Pamela Mountbatten is still reluctant to take only a few months of young son back, but Alan Wilson is going back to the country to resume their duties, to be able to come out for such a long time, and part of the reason for this kind of freedom is to look at the face of the Mountbatten family.
Few and far between, after some manned spaceflight explorations, the couple had to part ways for the time being. If the U.S. can be persuaded to stand on Britain’s side of the issue this time, maybe Allen Wilson will give the U.S. a little sweetener afterward, such as informing about the matter of differences within the Soviet camp, don’t even think about it now.
Immediately after arriving in London, Alan Wilson presented the results of this trip, about Australia, New Zealand and Canada following Britain’s stance, as well as the refusal of the United States.
In front of Prime Minister Aidan and Foreign Secretary Macmillan, Alan Wilson eloquently said, “Although every effort was made to gain the support of the United States, I don’t know why, but the attitude of the United States this time was very tough. In the end, it still failed to achieve its goal.”
“The U.S. may think that the interests we retain with France are still too much now.” Cabinet Secretary Norman Brooke mused for a moment, “This may have made the Americans think that the U.S.’s position as the world’s hegemon is not real.”
“But we have no room for concessions either.” Macmillan was just about to say something when Aiden had spoken first, “So what can we do? Cede Iran’s interests without a word. Then there must be public discontent and this government will be the biggest failure of all.”
Prime Minister Aidan’s opening made Macmillan, who was about to speak, have to swallow his words; it’s never good to be number two.
Conservative and Labor supporters are not a group of people, there are some things Labor can do that the Conservatives can’t. And Labour are keeping Iranian interests to themselves.
Alan Wilson said in his heart that you would have been the worst rated prime minister in post-war Britain, because of me, facing the Iranian oil crisis has been ten thousand times easier than facing the Suez Canal War.
Although the heart thinks so, but as the spokesman for the special relationship between Britain and the United States, Alan Wilson is still a face of difficulty, “we can not give up to fight for the goodwill of the United States, of course, for the sake of Britain’s own interests, we do not mind temporarily borrowing the power of other countries, this year, French President Charles de Gaulle will come to visit the United Kingdom, we release some of the goodwill, and strive to make the United States pay attention to in the diplomatic sphere the voice of its allies, rather than being bent on having its own way as it is now.”
In his words, Allen Wilson still expressed his hope that the United States would focus on the big picture and hang on for dear life, “If that doesn’t work, then we’re going to have to talk to the Soviets. I hope it doesn’t evolve to that point, and I expect the United States to have a different attitude after the election. There are times when we have to work with the bad guys once in a while, as well as abandon the good guys who don’t know any better, for the good of the country.”
The U.S. is going to have an election this year, and maybe attitudes will change after the election.
The subtext of this suggestion, is to keep stalling, but Allen Wilson knows that if the Republicans stay in power in the election, the stalling tactics automatically go out the window, and if the Democrats’ Kennedy wins? It would be better for the Republicans to remain in power.
The delaying tactics are destined to be a thought in the water, but a thought nonetheless.
“Stall until the election and see if that changes.” Norman Brooke agreed, “And in time, citizens will sense the government’s determination to defend Britain’s interests. There will be much less public pressure to talk about it then.”
