Chapter 1365 – The ripples rise again

At least in this era, the so-called temperament is far more important than things outside the body, it is undeniable that there will be some people who will be confused by the material spirit collapse, not only a large country, the Soviet Union also has the occasional defection of well-known people to the side of the free world, but the majority of the people are very important to the dignity.

Pamela Mountbatten said something about reimbursement of round trip traveling expenses, it is easy to make the other side think that it is humiliating, the so-called diplomacy is not a small matter, this kind of thing should still be avoided, it is not that Alan Wilson is preoccupied with this small amount of money.

“So that’s it, then forget it. By the way the Crown Prince is going to make a round of visits and also make Australia one of the stops.” Pamela Mountbatten spoke up, “Should be visiting father as well.”

“I don’t care where he goes.” Alan Wilson instantly cooled off, “He doesn’t have a good reputation, especially in the eyes of Labor supporters.”

Alan Wilson is a person who looks at the face, obviously the Queen and her husband and wife’s face value is over the top, but this Crown Prince, it seems to have concentrated the shortcomings of the two. Furthermore, Alan Wilson knows that the Queen’s standby time is quite long, and this Crown Prince has to wait, naturally, it is not very important. What to do what to do, don’t appear in front of yourself on the line.

“I think I should hurry up and marry my daughter off.” Alan Wilson muttered, really can’t, if you can’t, hurry to find Camilla, let this pair of lifelong love hurry to come together.

“You can rest assured on this point, our daughter will not come together with the Crown Prince.” Pamela Mountbatten knew what her husband was worried about as soon as she heard it, and she didn’t know why her daughter turned her back on the Crown Prince, but it was true, as soon as she heard Charles’s name she turned away from him.

“It’s mostly because I’ve educated him well. I guard him as I would a thief.” Alan Wilson knew why, of course; he was merely comparing pictures of African baboons, often, with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince’s dignified face.

In fact, it wasn’t too obvious yet; as they got older, the facial resemblance between the two would get closer and closer, and in time, his eldest daughter would see the evolution.

Under the banner of finding the most suitable Crown Princess, Charles continued to date different women, most of the girls were of noble birth. He had no trust in the Crown Prince’s character whatsoever, and while he was also a moral vacuum, this was not the same thing at all.

“I was thinking, just as an analogy, that the Crown Prince is going to be with our daughter, hmm?” Pamela Mountbatten didn’t make it too clear, signaling with her eyes what her husband would do.

“I’ve killed ministers.” Allen Wilson a word a word popped outward, clear attitude of this matter, this topic will end here, the husband and wife coincidentally sidetracked.

With her heart broken at her husband’s audacity, Pamela Mountbatten could only pretend she hadn’t heard, and turned to ask how far the order for the Comet airliner had gone.

“Almost there, there’s a lot of urgent things to do, look how many years the negotiations to enter into nuclear weapons testing have been talked about, and it’s just now coming to a head. Right now the cabinet is concerned about Rhodesia.”

Alan Wilson replied flatly, “The guerrilla war has been going on for a few years as well, the idea was to see if the local whites would agree to partition, put Ian Smith and whichever black leader is called Mugabe and see if we could talk, but it doesn’t look very promising.”

“There’s also the Aswan Dam in Egypt which is nearing completion, and we previously promised to give the Suez Canal back to Egypt, so there’s a lot of work to be done on all these things.”

None of these things are easy, the better quality land in Africa is in Southern Africa, which is not a tropical rainforest or a great desert, and Rhodesia is even more of a completely landlocked country in Southern Africa, which is located in the tropics and has a tropical climate, despite its high altitude.

It is one of the most fertile lands in the whole of Africa, abounding in tobacco, maize, wheat, cotton, coffee and sugar, in addition to an abundance of minerals, especially diamonds, iron ore, nickel, gold and copper.

There is this condition, the local white people are not willing to give up also makes sense, but who let the local white people did not think early to understand it, you see after the arrival of the Balkan anti-Tito molecules, immediately found the problem, soft and hard to the north of the blacks are cleaned out, to the point that today even if there is an independent African countries quite a little bit of criticism, but can not change anything.

Soon news came from Egypt that today the last engine on the great project across the Nile that the whole of Egypt had dreamed of was put into operation, the Aswan Dam was completed. Much credit has been given to the Egyptians for this achievement.

They invested their entire fortune in this project. One hundred thousand workers were sent to help build it. Prince Munam, who was in power, was all smiles at the official dedication of the 6,400-foot-long dam. Before this work was completed, the Temple of Abu Simbel and the four statues of Ramses were raised two hundred feet. This was so that they would not be flooded.

Alan Wilson arrives at 10 Downing Street and meets the Prime Minister and gets right to the point, “I don’t think it will be long before the Egyptians come over to talk about the ownership of the Suez Canal, which is the fish bait for canal ownership that we’ve been exchanging with the support of the Aswan Dam, but the dam is finished and the bait is no longer working.”

“But there’s an election coming up, and if word gets out?” Harold Wilson’s point was simply that it could lead to a Labor defeat.

“I don’t think the Egyptians will wait a few more months either.” Alan Wilson spoke up and replied, “But we could stabilize the Egyptians by sending a delegation to visit first. The threat of Israel could be used to negotiate with the Egyptian side for a long time to worry about the delay in the security of the Suez Canal.”

“That would be one way.” Harold Wilson recognized that, in addition to the Aswan Dam, the Israeli threat to the Suez Canal was an excuse often used by Britain.

“Then we’ll get right on it.” Alan Wilson sighed in his heart, it had come to this day after all, but it was okay, having deferred control for more than a decade, Britain was not losing out.

In Egypt’s point of view, the self-proclaimed leader of the Arab countries, surely there must be enough greatness to support the recovery of the Suez Canal is one item, the Aswan Dam is the second item, the lack of one.

Britain grabbed the canal and the dam tied up, in a sense also saved the Soviet Union, after the completion of the Aswan Dam, Nasser’s successor immediately let the Soviet Union out of Egypt, and turned to make peace with Israel, which can be said to make the Soviet Union lose money, and now the Soviet Union did not fall out of the pit, the United Kingdom has taken the control of the canal for more than a dozen years, and it’s good for each other.

Just as the Egyptian side was rejoicing over the completion of the Aswan Dam, the British side, led by Foreign Secretary Patrick Gordon Walker, began a visit to Egypt. Nominally, of course, there were celebrations to mark the completion of this century-old project supported by the Commonwealth countries.

While the domestic side began to hold an air show, Pamela Mountbatten personally received the guests of a major country, ready to facilitate this order to find new markets for their products, so this reception can be described as full of sincerity, the richest woman has learned from her husband, sincere respect is more important than anything else, specially greeted a few Malayan Chinese Justices of the Peace over to accompany.

Can be said to be called to accompany the justice of the peace, each is in the dark and a big country relationship is very shallow, of course, also because of their presence, in many places in Southeast Asia now there is a wide range of guerrillas, and Malaya is relatively smooth much, in fact, mainly before and after a few administrators, well-versed in the operation of barbarians to barbarians, carried out the British familiar back-room operation.

Pamela Mountbatten was satisfied with the conduct of this air show, the only dissatisfaction is that her husband, on the grounds of work, do not personally show the side of the Orientalist expert on this occasion, is to give her a list of some notes on the run, to focus on the Egyptian side of the work on the grounds of not appear.

And in fact Alan Wilson, is communicating with the famous German entrepreneurs, more than a year has passed since the last time he stepped hard on France. France’s brief years as a financial center have since come to an abrupt end, and likewise the United States of Europeists have been hit hard by the revelation that Georges Pompidou is suffering from cancer at a critical time when he is going further.

Amidst widespread skepticism, the politician who was supposed to lead France after the fall of Charles de Gaulle had to suffer a dilemma, and a medical examination finally confirmed the cancer.

The current president of France, still de Gaulle, seems destined to have no time to write his memoirs and will surely end his life during his presidency if the life expectancy of this last man of France remains unchanged.

In this case, the French situation can be skimmed over for now, and what should be considered is the United States, which, despite the move to gradually withdraw its troops and Vietnamize the Vietnam War after another change of Commander-in-Chief, has not reduced its military expenditures, and the currency overshooting is still in place.

The question now is what Britain and Germany are going to do while France is out of the picture and licking its wounds for the time being. Stomping on France is not enough to satisfy the interests.

“Since the franc hit hard, the mark has become an enemy of the pound again in Europe, and that can be troubling for us.” Reaching out and cupping Anna’s chin, Alan Wilson examined the delicate face at this point, “My dear, the Mark’s share of settlements has surpassed the franc, what’s your next target? It won’t be the pound, will it?”

“Why yes, we are not interested in financial hegemony.” Anna brushed her head away in a perfunctory manner, “The Germans are having a good time with what they have now, too.”

“Heh, the psychology senior seems to have regressed.” Alan Wilson let out a light laugh, “Normally speaking the pound is lower than the dollar’s share of settlement, the Germans should attack the pound. However, because the overissuance of dollars is a bit severe, there should be a lot of dollars in the hands of the Deutsche Bank right now, right? Fifty billion or sixty billion, this is a financial bomb. Once there’s a run on it like in France, I don’t know how the U.S. will react.”

“But once it does, who knows if Britain will attack the Mark like they attacked France during the May Storm?” Anna asked rhetorically, “We could be worried about that.”
