Chapter 1390 – UAE Plan

“This won’t go wrong right, Sir’s son’s age doesn’t seem to be enough to start a family.”

The wife expressed her opposition, she had also met the official business couple, and always felt that Sir was a bit more talkative, and that female president was obviously a different feeling, although on the surface she was very approachable, she always felt a bit distant.

“My dear, your judgment is right. But it’s Jazz who is the one who speaks in their house, don’t ask me why, I don’t know.”

Although Grace’s answer was in a tone of certainty, he himself felt that it did not make sense, why was it Alan Wilson who had the say? And not Ms. Pamela Mountbatten, the spiritual leader of the British aristocracy?

This Grace would have no idea, as the head of the family how can not have some capital, he certainly has capital, are placed in Newfoundland and Malaya side, did not show just.

“We sent a message of condolence to Ali Bhutto, the leader of the Pakistan People’s Party, regretting the ups and downs of the election.” At 10 Downing Street, Alan Wilson was reporting on the diplomatic moves to carry out the Prime Minister’s will, although things were more acrimonious in East Pakistan!

So the Foreign Office picked to appease the Pakistan People’s Party, the number one party in West Pakistan.

Out of past life memory, Alan Wilson also happened to have a memory of Ali Bhutto, a Father of the Nation-like being who was taken out by the junta.

Ali Jinnah is the father of the Pakistani nation yes, but his status is actually similar to someone like Gandhi, Pakistan just established died of illness, the image only exists among the symbols.

Pakistan’s military government lasted for so long before Ali Bhutto was the first democratically elected government to come to power and start reforming Pakistan after losing East Pakistan. But Ali Bhutto was still hanged by the coup d’état junta because of the land reform issue.

Pakistan is a country that also has an electoral system, but the number one power in its country is the military, with people like Yahya Khan coming in one after another. Constantly in the midst of elected government and military government, such swaying is the most harmful to the country, are not as good as India’s elected government. Simply put, even the US can’t stand the constant switching between four years of knowing the king and four years of sleeping with the king.

“It expresses our concerns without being offensive. Well done.” Harold Wilson nodded his head in praise, expressing his approval of the Cabinet Secretary’s operation of making peace.

Expressing congratulations to the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) also avoids irritating Yahya Khan on the acrimonious East Pakistan issue, but then again, it’s not like doing nothing.

“Of course, Prime Minister.” Alan Wilson accepted the compliment that we should probably act, but nothing can be done.

The coverage of East Pakistan cannot start now, the intensity of the coverage must be controlled. There is a period of fatigue in any reception of information, and the same is true of war information; if we follow it up now on a large scale, when it really comes to the time when public opinion is needed, and the British citizenry is experiencing a period of fatigue, public opinion won’t be stirred up.

Ze Sheng also knows this, so he keeps on exercising his actor’s instincts to brush up the presence of his government in the world for fear that Ukraine will be forgotten, and once he is forgotten he will end up in a pathetic situation.

British newspapers can now report on East Pakistan, but only to fulfill their freedom of information duties, not to add subjective judgments, and especially not to publish inflammatory photos. Inflammatory stories can only be published when the government needs them.

With Pakistan out of the way, the issue about the G-10 meeting organized by the United States is also a matter of great concern for Britain at the moment.

The U.S. conditions have been taken out, the dollar against gold depreciation of 7.89 percent, the official price of an ounce of gold from an ounce of thirty-five dollars to an ounce of thirty-eight dollars; adjustment of the exchange rate parity, the dollar depreciated by an average of ten percent, the other major currencies of Europe and the United States appreciated; the fluctuation of non-reserve currencies against the U.S. dollar permitted range of plus or minus one percent adjusted to plus or minus two and two-fifths percent; U.S. government to abolish ten percent of the temporary import surtax.

This condition seems quite good, people who do not know the truth still think that the United States is still trying its best to maintain the Bretton Woods system, and it is not like the French previously said that an ounce of seventy U.S. dollars depreciated so drastically.

In fact the opposite, Alan Wilson for the prime minister to come up with their own judgment, “If it is really one to seventy, that is to say that the United States will continue to maintain the Bretton Woods system, this subtle adjustment, on the contrary, proves that the United States is only temporarily coping with the last exchange of U.S. dollars, according to the investigation of the aftermath of the use of the U.S. dollar is seven to eight hundred million, enough to put the Federal Reserve’s gold reserves Exchange empty three times. Devaluing from one to thirty-five to one to seventy doesn’t solve the problem, how can one to one hundred to balance the hedge against such a huge dollar.”

“The U.S. could have done it if it wanted to renege, but now that the U.S. has chosen to de facto renege but not admit to reneging, it’s very subtle.”

“Of course, we cannot withdraw our troops from the Middle East.” Harold Wilson knew what the Cabinet Secretary was trying to say; the issue had been discussed last time.

“Regarding the Middle East roadmap, that is, the previous discussion on the long term preservation of British interests in the Middle East, we have had some plans that the Prime Minister can look at and make a judgment with.” Alan Wilson opened his mouth, and with the consent of the Prime Minister, brought it over.

It was really about amalgamation, and amalgamation was very much in line with how Britain had traditionally run its colonies, although the time had come in 1970, and a lot of people thought that partition wasn’t an impossible option.

But for those emirates in the Middle East, Alan Wilson still believed that a merger, that is, the UAE model was the most appropriate, if they were allowed to be separate and independent, it would only distract the attention of the British forces in the Middle East, even if these emirates were merged, it was not a country of sufficient size, the population and the area is not considered to be a large country, and it is still in the radiation of the British power, so the merger of this approach is also good.

According to this plan, the new UAE includes Bahrain and Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ras al-Khaimah, Ajman, Fujairah, and Umm al-Qaiwain, a total of nine British protectorates, to merge into a new country called the UAE.

The UAE, when formed, will have Oman, also a British protectorate, as a neighbor, and there’s the issue of an enclave, the Musandam province of Oman, which will be separated from the new UAE by the Musandam province, which will be an enclave that will not be connected on land.

The Musandeum province is actually very important, in later times Iran moves to block the Strait of Hormuz, but the western protrusion of the exit of the strait is the Musandeum province. If a military base is built here, it will be able to watch over the world’s energy channel,, and oil tankers loaded with oil in the Persian Gulf, whether eastward into the Asia-Pacific or westward to Europe and the United States, will have to pass through here.

The Strait of Hormuz, which connects the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman, is known as the gate of the oil depot and the throat of the world. Musandam Province. It is like a sword inserted into the Strait of Hormuz, the strategic location is very important, as long as the willingness to close the Strait at any time through Musandam.

The current British sphere of influence in the Middle East does not technically count Iraq, though of course it is true that the Iraqi royal family and Britain are on good terms. The three places where the garrison is retained, Kuwait, the soon-to-be-emerging UAE, and Oman, are the three places where Britain still has control of the situation at the moment.

Harold Wilson is quite interested in the plan, retaining British influence there is the number one priority, and there is no more secure way than the presence of military bases.

The Prime Minister had a wise judgment to make, and Alan Wilson, of course, could not remain here to interfere, and he left 10 Downing Street to go home and continue his educational program. It’s not that he has a bias towards children, that’s why he’s particularly attached to Summergate’s child, but he only has such a child who is suitable to act as a tide of innovation and openness.

Couldn’t have Vivienne’s son making a tall tale about how we Chinese are too good from time to time, it was a bit inappropriate to do so.

“This war isn’t over yet.” Charmaine sat in the seat reserved between the man’s legs, leaning back against Alan Wilson’s shoulder and watching the news with a man of her husband’s equal status.

Summer Dream thought the man was a bit of a curmudgeon, not interested in any of the entertainment programs, just the news segments he still paid a little attention to, but what could she do, it was what it was, and cautiously offered the suggestion, “Warrior’s Challenge and City to City would be good programs.”

“Isn’t that a program produced by Vivian?” Alan Wilson replied absentmindedly, then smugly said, “You didn’t know, did you, that’s the show I designed. The fans of both programs should thank me, the Pawn Stars, the Forged Knife Competition, and the Hercules Competition, you haven’t seen these programs yet, it doesn’t matter, they will appear later when Vivian is ready.”

The supreme authority is also for the spiritual food of British citizens to worry about, he is busier than the prime minister are absolutely not just saying, now very popular two programs, in Europe and the United States are all at the same time to implement. What scholars than than chatter about some soft power also figure a fun, supreme authority is soft power connoisseur.

“If you have time to go to Australia, women’s rugby can also see, Pamela sponsored.” Alan Wilson suggested as he wrapped his arms around Charmaine’s body.

It also drove the Australian passion for sport, strengthened the Aussie physique, and could well land in the UK in due course if the British citizens didn’t object.

At this point the TV screen changed and a familiar face appeared as Wick impassionedly attacked Japan’s sins of protectionism, disregard for supporting property rights, currency manipulation, and forced labor.

At this moment, countless old white British men sitting in front of the TV shouted loudly, reveling in the diplomat’s gallantry, how reasonable, long overdue to give Japan a little bit of awesome to see.

This meeting is extremely special, the United States would have defaulted on the first, Britain if still the Sunset Empire, certainly from the position of strength, but Britain does not have that strength, the same other European countries are also enough, embrace the group is a way, but it is also very easy to be divided by the United States, but grabbed Japan to let off steam it, Britain is still very easy to unite Europe.
