Chapter 1292 – The Queen Mother of the Two Palaces

If the Prime Minister traveled because a king had died of an illness, then the Prime Minister of Britain, a world power, was a bit cheap, but Egypt was not important, but the Suez Canal was. Britain must show something. Who will go?

There weren’t many choices really, Rab Butler was an option, and if he couldn’t make it, Alan Wilson would have to go out on a trip.

Of course before he left, he had asked the Egyptian Embassy to get a feel for the situation and whether the situation in Cairo was now stable.

The Free Officers Organization that had surfaced was now in Yemen, and should not be so strong that it could still beat people with two fists and make waves in Egypt, and the Free Officers Organization, which had been in the midst of a crackdown, should not have that kind of strength.

Now and 1956 the situation is completely different, the brain to the dignity of Britain and France trampled on the bottom of the foot of the United States and the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union is free, but the United States is in Vietnam to roll up their sleeves. But the Soviet Union that is free if you really cast your eyes on the Middle East, at this time should focus on Yemen is right, Farouk I death after all, belongs to a sudden event, Moscow should not have a plan.

“Be careful, don’t have any danger.” Pamela Mountbatten, seeing that her husband was ready, expressed her concern.

“Talk about no danger.” Alan Wilson was confident, this world was still a blue ocean, there was no soil for a world war to break out. He had always thought that the twenty-first century was the real danger, technological progress was better than nothing, the United States shouted for innovation every day and couldn’t innovate anything. The whole world was overproducing, but could not develop new markets.

Now compared to that world, it is still very happy, far from the time to showdown, he tends to Egypt will not change, go to a trip is just to reassure themselves.

Allen Wilson is with Lin Lianyu set off together, he can not let the educator continue to hang around in London, in case in the look on what they can not meet, damaging the glorious image of the supreme authority.

On the plane, Allen Wilson will close his eyes and rest, Lin Lianyu sat on his side, transferring back to Kuala Lumpur, in the middle of the journey, the two conversed in Chinese, the atmosphere is still relaxed.

“The situation over here is much calmer than Southeast Asia.” Lin Lianyu sighed, now that war was breaking out in Vietnam, inevitably a lot of people were talking about it.

“Chaos is the ladder.” Alan Wilson replied unhurriedly, “Mr. Lin, I admire your knowledge, as for the rest, it’s too ideal.”

He had no worries about the outbreak of war in Southeast Asia, would the outbreak of war in Europe worry a certain country?

Probably worried that it wouldn’t last long enough. While it might be morally indefensible to think so, it must be admitted that most people were just so gloating, without much moral sense.

“If only China and Britain could coexist peacefully.” Lin Lianyu was still lamenting, “The Soviet Union is too aggressive a country, I always feel like I’ll lose out if I follow them.”

Saying it like you have a choice? Allen Wilson’s face flashed with an odd color, apart from the Soviet Union there wouldn’t be a stupid person who would carry out a technology transfer, even daring to share nuclear research, what is that if not a stupid person?

“Indeed, I was hoping so.” Mentally sneering at Lin Lianyu’s naivety, Allen Wilson nevertheless expressed his approval with a look of sincerity, it wasn’t the first time that his mouth didn’t match his heart, it was nothing.

Before arriving in Cairo, the Egyptian Embassy has released the news, ready to extract the last bit of interest in the body of Farouk I, the dead, a person once dead, even if he has done more wrong things, the reputation will not be worse than the original when alive, not to mention the reputation of Farouk I repair has been going on for many years, the big cake policy is still effective.

The policy of repairing Farouk I is still tied primarily to the Aswan Dam, emphasizing the king’s great wisdom and the right ways and means to fight. According to some roadside sources, Farouk I’s greatest wish before his death was to see the completion of the Aswan Dam as a means of solving the problems of electricity and irrigation for the Egyptians, what a singable king.

Prince Fouad is now only twelve years old, obviously not able to manage the government, now the power of Egypt should be in the hands of Queen Nariman, and several important members of the royal family.

Nariman, a famous Egyptian beauty, had been betrothed to someone else as early as when she was thirteen, but she accidentally met King Farouk of Egypt in a jewelry store when she was sixteen. Farouk was so deeply immersed in Nariman’s beauty that he couldn’t help himself and finally used the king’s power to force Nariman to be his wife. And at the time of marriage, King Farouk prepared more than 20,000 diamonds as a bride price to marry Nariman.

However, after the abolition of the monarchy in Egypt, Farouk was forced to go into exile, and Nariman took the opportunity to divorce Farouk and look for a new husband.

Now, however, Egypt still preserves the form of the kingdom, and Queen Nariman can certainly not let herself go for the sake of power. The maintenance of the traditional relationship between Egypt and Britain rests with this queen.

Seeing this queen who was not yet very old, Alan Wilson could not help but sigh, somewhat like the image of Cleopatra played by Vivien Leigh, Farouk I’s vision was still quite okay.

“Honorable queen, the prime minister heard about this tragedy, very emotional, for this reason sent me to Egypt to sympathize.” Alan Wilson faced this undead person with a very calm heart. If ten years ago, the Cabinet Secretary must let the other side know what is called rocket da man, but this time, can not be more, more really can not take care of it.

The two talked a lot, even including Farouk I before the Queen Farida, Queen Farida has three daughters, in the Arab world so traditional, there has been no male heir is a big deal, which also led to Queen Farida and Farouk I divorce.

The embassy has informed Alan Wilson that Queen Farida’s popularity in Egyptian society is very good, and he instantly thought of a configuration of my Qing Dynasty, which is not the configuration of the two palace dowager?

Shameless interference in the internal affairs of Egypt, all of a sudden occupied Alan Wilson’s mind, since the former queen so respected, the current queen has a son to support, simply perfect.

Putting her thoughts into words, Queen Nariman was obviously not very willing, but Alan Wilson emphasized the fact that the next king was his son, and that everything was done to boost royal support as a first priority.

“In fact, you have not lost anything, Prince Fouad is ironically the next king once he reaches adulthood, the key is the forces opposing the royal family, the Free Officers Organization that Egypt suppressed in previous years has run abroad, spreading to several countries, especially in Yemen, and even we can’t continue to pursue them. Once they come back against the crown?”

Alan Wilson was not lying, it was all true, he had only just finished talking to the Free Officers Organization and was waiting for the day to come when Yemen officially declared its independence.

In that case, the Free Officers Organization would be a huge threat even if they didn’t kill back, not to mention that the Yemeni royal family had already been overthrown, who’s to say that Egypt couldn’t replicate it?

“And Queen, what is the most crucial thing? You have to understand that the most crucial thing is that you, Queen, come from a commoner’s background, while the political situation is in the hands of His Majesty’s relatives. The prince is not yet of age, so what if the ministers have an insubordinate mind? When His Majesty the King was alive, we were actually worried that in this world nowadays, monarchy can no longer quell the discontent of the majority. The power of the king must be limited to a certain extent, and the king cannot hold everything in his hands. It’s the prying eyes of so much power that is most dangerous.”

Alan Wilson felt bad even talking, and the more he spoke, the more he looked like Ghost Six, who was going to eliminate the eight ministers of the Gu Ming, was discussing with his two royal sisters-in-law about the long-term stability of our Great Eyre.

But no matter how, these problems are real, constitutional monarchy is always safer than the monarchy, Queen Nariman’s family is indeed the commoner class, can help her place is almost no, she is due to the beauty of the Farouk I, the status of solid is completely mother by son.

Being in front of the Englishman so said, Queen Nariman immediately became hesitant, Egypt’s power is indeed in the hands of Farouk I’s cousins, “I do not know Sir can not help.”

“If the Queen can manage to be loved by the Egyptian commoners, Britain is of course very willing to help.” Alan Wilson had a pack it in me tone, it was time to take out the eight ministers of the Guvnors.

With that, Queen Farida, who had been out of the royal family for a long time, was recalled to the palace to go to the former queen’s palace guards were surprised to receive such an order.

This day the royal palace lights, the exuberance of the free officer organization, the Egyptian royal family is definitely not steady as a mountain, with the opening of the Egyptian civil rule, the monarchical dictatorship will not be too long again, these threats are real, but also do not look at what times are now.

“Queens, you are not enemies, but women in the same situation. You are also not competitors, but dependents who support each other.” Alan Wilson with a solemn face, I do not know if this year is the year of XinYou, it seems not, but the general meaning is that the future of Egypt is uncertain, the burden of the whole country falls on the two women.

“What kind of support Britain can give us.” The prolonged persuasion still had an effect, and Queen Nariman took the initiative to open her mouth to seek support for the sake of her position and her son.

“Of course, we will definitely give our full support, because this is a good thing for social progress, and there is no reason for any country to oppose it.” Alan Wilson promised straight from the chest, “The release of restrictions on the excessive power of the royals, I believe that the Egyptian people will also be very happy. The main thing is that the Royal Guard will never betray the royal family.”

That’s for sure, the Copts form the royal guard, when a big change really happens in Egypt, can they still guarantee that the new government will still be able to level the playing field?

Now the first thing to do is to finish the funeral of Farouk I. Clearly the stability of the inheritance, do not be made by other forces.
