Chapter 1122 – Urbanization
From Egypt to Algeria, and this time to Libya, Nasser and his followers, fully embodied the indomitable spirit, Alan Wilson, if he knew that this disappeared brother is still alive, will certainly sigh, this almost became the Che Guevara among the Arab world.
But Allen Wilson does not know, Nasser has strategically moved into Libya, he returned to Windsor Castle Hotel, he was busy formulating the fourth-order tactics, through the first suppression and then praise way, to report this time the oil distribution negotiations.
In the first stage, I, Great Britain, was to be extremely sublimated, and with the external conditions of a million and a half French troops in Algeria swatting away the resisters, as a means of threatening the Kingdom of Libya with the abandonment of its impracticable claims.
In the meantime, the fate of Mossadegh was to be used to knock Idris I out of his mischief.
In the second stage, after Idris I had argued his case, Britain rejected the Libyan kingdom’s claim on the grounds that it could not govern itself and threatened it with sanctions.
The third stage was a stalemate in which Britain and Libya were at odds with each other, but both agreed that at least the issue would not be resolved by force.
The fourth stage overturned the previous false reports that all public opinion unfavorable to the friendly relations between the two countries was the provocation of some foreign forces between Britain and Libya, and finally reached an agreement.
In the end, the two countries overcame a thousand difficulties and reached an agreement that is quite favorable to both countries, achieving a win-win effect.
During the period also have to fictionalize some of the details of the negotiations, such as picking the reality of Libya’s situation, as a child making trouble to hide the gold. It is easy to be spied on by forces from all sides.
“Unfortunately, the giant class is bought out.” Alan Wilson sighed, otherwise it could have sold Libya an aircraft carrier.
After sixteen years of tireless effort, Alan Wilson finally emptied all the carriers before the Eagle class, if Idris I didn’t mind, he could try to sell Libya a Centaur class.
After meeting Idris I once, Alan Wilson stopped showing up, hiding in the Windsor Castle Hotel, spreading news through the British Embassy in Libya to manipulate public opinion.
This is also a very necessary step, a key step to test the hearts and minds of the Libyan people, naturally unavoidable.
The fact that a million and a half French troops had crushed the Resistance in Algeria was the basis for this.
Britain pretended to be even more difficult to mess with than France, so that Idris I could be more easily supported by the Libyan subjects when he got the results.
If nothing else, he, the Permanent Under-Secretary of the British Foreign Office, is the savior of the remnants of the feudal lords of the last age. Monarchies all over the world should give him a supernumerary minister to do the job.
After clarifying the fourth-order tactics, Alan Wilson rocketed off with Hedy Lamarr. Totally ignoring the fact that the whole kingdom of Libya was already in a state of flux, supporting Idris I’s defiance of power and his move to recover his share of the oil from Britain and France.
Libya’s share of oil, attributed to Britain and France, this is also before Alan Wilson specifically instructed his wife, the influence of France in North Africa is deeply entrenched, and at that time France has not given up the idea of Algeria.
Now even more so, France has just won the victory in Algeria, if not for the follow-up of the French victory, he would not have come here this time, he came out is not to balance the French influence.
“You work like this, don’t you get tired?” Hedy Lamarr has followed the man out many times, and every time he sees Allen Wilson stirring up trouble, that is, the self-proclaimed offshore balance, he feels quite surprised.
“We live on an island, it’s not like you mainland countries don’t have to think so much.” Alan Wilson sighed and took the opportunity to gain sympathy, “We live a difficult life, we can only think more diplomatically.”
This resurgence of at least part of the Western Roman Empire, put great pressure on Britain. The normal situation of France’s predominance among the European nations had become almost inevitable if it was not dealt with carefully.
However, everything is a mixed blessing. If Britain does not find a way to increase its national power, it may be left behind by France, which may increase the sense of crisis, and in any case, there are still millions of square kilometers of land in the world that still have the British prefix.
Not to mention that if we can keep Malaya, the effective land is bigger than Algeria, which is more than 80% desert. It’s time for Britain to have some sense of crisis, or else go on moping around like this.
France’s strength has increased, and there is the potential benefit that the United States has to rely more on the United Kingdom. France’s swelling strength in Europe will inevitably make de Gaulle’s independence more daring. Some propositions may be practiced earlier than they have been historically.
This poses a challenge to the fact that the United States controls Europe, in which case the United States will need Britain’s help, and not be too tough, like the historical situation of bullying against the United Kingdom, should be eased.
Perhaps this will allow the UK and the US to evolve into a more equal partnership. The reasoning is the same as when the Soviet Union was alive, and the U.S. would stop short of bleeding its allies.
“I want to go for a walk.” Hedy Lamarr suggested after spending a few days in the hotel and getting a little bored.
“Okay.” With the current public opinion, Alan Wilson should have refused, but since it was Hedy Lamarr who asked, he had no choice but to agree, putting on his body armor and then his Arabian robe.
“Or don’t go out at all.” Seeing a man with the same status as her husband as if he was on the verge of an attack, Hedy Lamarr couldn’t help but scoff, “If something really happens to you, I can’t afford it, and I can’t afford to mess with your wife either.”
“Go!” Allen Wilson grabbed Hedy Lamarr’s hand, with a look that although millions of people will go.
Although Tripoli is the capital of a country, but in this era can not be said to be how prosperous, change in a large country, but a county-level city population, even if walking, but also quickly walked out of the so-called prosperous belt, into the civilian area.
A road running across the north and south of the civilian area, there is a farmhouse. The inside of the farmhouse was so dirty and smelly that it was more appropriate to call it a bird’s nest rather than a human dwelling. With few windows, the house was very dark.
Things were thrown about on the six-meter-square dirt floor, and the clucking of hens incubating their eggs came from a stuffy chicken coop on the beams of the roof. Next to the wall stood a ladder made of thin branches for chickens, and a skinny rooster stood on the rung of the ladder, which was covered with chicken droppings and yellow and white feathers, to protect the hen on the roof beam.
In the farmhouse, which looked pickled, dirty, smelly, and poor, three boys were gathered around the stove, waiting impatiently for the white potatoes to cook quickly; they were tired of waiting.
One of the boys stretched out an arm under his head, fiddled with the half-burned wood that was about to go out, and sighed; the other boy kicked impatiently at the floor with his thin feet, sometimes stealing glances into the pot, which was not yet steaming, and sometimes scanning the faces of his brothers.
None of them made a sound, and all of them shone with unquestioning zeal, their rough eyes intent on the white potatoes that were being boiled.
With a rich imagination they fancied the color, shape, and taste of the food that was soon to come to their mouths, and the sleeping salivary glands in their mouths were suddenly awakened, and saliva gushed from the base of their tongues, and their lower cheeks ached so strangely that they were almost ready to cry out.
They seemed to feel some pain in their heads and couldn’t stop gagging ah-goo, ah-goo.
These children were hungry all year round, and never knew what it meant to be full; whether it was day or night, there was only one thought in their minds, to eat. So when it came to food, they lost their minds and showed their hunger.
Alan Wilson was well versed in the fact that happiness is all about comparison, and preferred to go around behind some of the bustle, but seeing this scene made his heart extra heavy, and the fact that the Libyan kingdom had the soil for revolution was not a reassuring conclusion.
“Come along, my dear.” Directly grabbing Hedy Lamarr’s hand, Alan Wilson directly turned around, not forgetting to instruct, “For you, this kind of place is less frequent, especially when you are alone.”
“It was you who had to come ……,” Hedy Lamarr said halfway through her sentence, and seeing the man’s cold expression, she followed the man away without saying a word.
This period of time for the residents of the Kingdom of Libya, the whole mood is like doing a roller coaster, with the invisible public opinion presents a hundred kinds of life, not too much embraced by the Idris I, gradually become the backbone of the people.
They were energized by the king’s arguments and outraged by the English obstructionism, which ultimately turned into love for the motherland. And this was the fulfillment of public opinion manipulation, especially for Alan Wilson.
Ten days later, with the terms of Idris I’s agreement ready, Alan Wilson reappeared in the royal palace of Libya, and he also called the media of both countries to come together as a witness.
Clauses sum up a total of fifteen items, not all of them to protect the interests of Britain and France, which has the Libyan mental hospitals and welfare institutions of the content of the grant, because the love of the vulnerable, often pull goodwill behavior, Pamela Mountbatten did establish the face of the handicapped to take in Libya’s vulnerable people.
“The reason why Britain is so insistent on some issues. It’s because there have been many examples where after the UK left, the government of the country after autonomy has instead gone even further. All this time, we have been talking to the Libyan government about where the oil profits will go after they are handed over. And King Idris I has made a promise to Britain that he will use the money to benefit Libyan society, to have sixty percent of Libyans living in cities within ten years.”
Alan Wilson, in one fell swoop, began the British whitewash, and there was indeed a clause in the treaty that Libya must begin the process of urbanization under British auspices.
