Chapter 1629 Chemical Weapons

However, this is exactly what Alan Wilson would like to see, after all, people are elected prime ministers, always so incomprehensible, how should Whitehall’s work unfold in the future?

On the contrary, if there was an understanding Prime Minister who could complement Whitehall, so that both sides could work together happily, then it would be a good thing for this country.

Alan Wilson wondered if it wasn’t time to sing the praises of Margaret Thatcher’s greatness at the right time.

Just like the Conservative Party group of fans, after a short period of time to think, this kind of thing is better to say next time, first observation is not a bad thing.

In any case, cell phone manufacturing this current is still very profitable project, the United Kingdom is able to develop the development, it should be said that Europe in this regard is not weak, what Nokia, Ericsson, Siemens, have done for a period of time cell phone giants, although it was later swept away by Apple, but swept away before it did shine for a while.

A certain big country like the cost of labor, the United Kingdom is certainly not able to compete, but Japan such a cost of labor, in this kind of industry should not have any cost advantage.

As the earliest factory of the world, does the UK now have no good tradition left? Supply chain is not a problem, the European side of the traditional industries are still very strong, and do not have to what hardware are handled by the UK itself, imagine simply advantage in me.

Before leaving, Alan Wilson praised the prime minister’s good color, after leaving, Mrs. Thatcher directly take out the mirror to examine themselves, seems to want to know the cabinet secretary said is not true.

“Princess Badia wants to come over.” These were the first words the head of the family heard when she returned home, originating from Pamela Mountbatten, the richest woman in the world who was known to have ten billion pounds worth of assets, but in reality was much more than that, and the richest woman and the Iraqi Rapunzel were on good terms, which had lasted from the fifties to the present day.

“What’s she doing here?” Alan Wilson put down his briefcase and sat straight down, seeming to have lifted a thousand burdens at the same time.

But immediately Alan Wilson sat up straight again, Princess Badia wished to see if the Iran-Iraq war could be resolved through diplomatic channels, and to put it bluntly wished for the war to stop.

“Is it Princess Badia’s personal idea, or is it Faisal II’s intention.” Alan Wilson seriously inquired, thinking about it is actually not surprising.

This Iraqi kingdom is not that Iraq, the kingdom’s royal family is not the Arab Social Baath Party, and Faisal II is not Saddam, necessarily, to be the leader of the Arab world.

Or the idea of being the leader of the Arab world, but not the determination to do whatever it takes for it.

The war began, spending money like water, the Kingdom of Iraq belongs to the side that loses out on manpower, naturally, it is necessary to work harder on foreign military sales, although Britain’s support on this is not stingy, and even pointed to the Kingdom of Iraq, from the side of a major country to think of ways to do it, but there is no free lunch under the sun, and it should be spent on a penny not a penny less.

“Is there a way?” Pamela Mountbatten inquired, “fight down Iraq’s foreign exchange reserves can not top, now the royal family are clear, Iran is really not good.”

“What did you do earlier, the food market to buy food ah, said to fight and said to stop?” Alan Wilson sneered, “I reminded the king in the beginning in my personal name, he did not listen, he felt that the advantage was in him. At the same level of technology, the country with the larger volume may suffer a small loss at first, but it will eventually have the advantage. Iran is much better than Iraq in terms of hardware.”

It also depends on the Iranian side to agree to a truce, how can Iran agree to a truce at this point in time when it has been knocked around a few times and is now seeing the process of regaining lost territories going well? Did the Soviet Union want to call a truce after recovering the lands occupied by the Germans?

In 1941, when Moscow was on the verge of being lost, the Soviet Union really wanted an armistice to make peace.

However, when he thought of the Iraqi king studied in London, the relationship between the two countries is really quite good, Allen Wilson did not put words so harshly. In fact, this is also the reason why Pamela Mountbatten dared to open her mouth to ask, Iraq is Britain’s most powerful traditional friendly country in the Middle East, Iran and Britain’s relationship from the post-war, even before the war has not been good.

“It’s no use him coming, Britain can send out an initiative calling for peace, but Tehran doesn’t always respond, it comes down to the fact that Iran has responded.” Alan Wilson explained directly to his wife, seeing the difference between the spires of the Kremlin and East Prussia close at hand.

This is a situation that even Margaret Thatcher, who was determined to make a mark on diplomacy this year, would not have bothered with, there was no point of insertion at all, this was not a short-term war, but a war of attrition.

“There really isn’t a single thing that can be done?” Pamela Mountbatten inquired, still seeming to want to fight for the close royal family.

“No, it’s useless for her to come.” Alan Wilson answered with a firm voice, then turned the conversation around and said, “But in your position, you can offer your friend some advice from a private point of view.”

The ears of the richest woman perked up, so Allen Wilson continued, “Now the only way to have peace talks to end the war is to crush the Iranian attack and regain the initiative, but you and I both know that Iraq is the party at a disadvantage in terms of manpower and territory, so we can only think of ways to do this in terms of weaponry. Ordinary weapons don’t work at this point in time, something beyond the norm has to be put into the field to make Iran, already mobilized through religious fanaticism, feel the pain.”

Chemical weapons, the kind of poor country’s nuclear weapons have to be on the battlefield, which is sort of how history wraps up, and Iraq, under Saddam, really had chemical weapons anyway.

Saddam used tear gas chemical weapons on Iranian forces during the Battle of Basra in another time and place. Such mild chemical weapons are not considered prohibited. Wait until later, when 100,000 Iranian troops attacked the Fao Peninsula, a major town in the southeast of the battle line, not only dividing and cutting off Iraqi forces, but also closing off Iraq’s access to the sea.

Iraq panicked and fought back. During these counterattacks, Iraq began to use chemical weapons frequently.

“Supplying Iraq with chemical weapons?” Pamela Mountbatten covered her mouth in a surprised whisper, “Honey, this is very big.”

“Why should we give it? Did King Faisal fight for Britain? Should have piped in America for it.”

Alan Wilson said in his heart that you are really generous, “In fact, the old chemical weapons are not something so secret, some industries can make them, but the equipment to build them certainly can’t be hidden from the U.S. In this way, after Princess Badia comes to London, the Cabinet will surely reject Iraq’s request, and then you will point out a clear path for her to let Iraq pipe the U.S. to ask for it, and if the U.S. doesn’t give it to them, they will say that they want to buy the equipment for the production of chemical weapons. I estimate that the former the United States will also refuse, but the latter, considering the current relationship between Iran and the United States, may be accommodating.”

Seeing the richest woman listening to the fascination, Alan Wilson emphatically reminded, “Do not want to be the beginning of the war foolishly listen to the American promises, once the Americans agreed, must keep the evidence, and then firmly in hand, or today the United States is able to provide Iraq with equipment, and someday can also use the excuse of weapons of mass destruction, to attack Iraq. ”

This would have been a historical fact, didn’t the Americans light up the laundry detergent at the UN decades later? That’s not too much to ask for American speculation from any moral bottom line.

Others say that the source of Iraq’s chemical weapons was a man named Rumsfeld who helped run the operation, and yes, he was later the US Secretary of Defense during the attack on Iraq.

The supreme authority of every country, except for the United States, which has successfully snatched away Britain’s position as the world’s hegemon, even if this time the Iraqi Kingdom did not take his persuasion seriously before going to war, he still, at the critical moment, pointed out a glorious path for the Iraqi Kingdom.

Princess Badia, with the Kingdom of Iraq’s earnest hope to come, as he expected, the Cabinet did not in willing to help on the loose. Alan Wilson did not take the usual prime ministerial route to argue his case, and naturally Princess Badia was not expected to go home disappointed.

At this point in time, Pamela Mountbatten appeared as a friend, analyzed the current war situation, and then spread his hands, “My husband has advised you several times that Iran is not a good fight. You have not listened at all, and have taken an approving attitude to what the Americans are saying, and now the key is to get the Americans to help.”

“Whatever it takes to break the Iranian army’s offensive on the battlefield has to be taken now, and the British step in to mediate at that point in order to have any chance of ending it. In this way, I can help run the operation ……”

In the free world, Britain’s chemical capabilities are certainly not far behind, but such a good thing would fall more appropriately to the U.S. The richest woman in the world showed the Rapunzel the way forward, hoping that the Kingdom of Iraq would move from one victory to the next, and of this, Princess Badia had no doubt.

After returning to Baghdad, Princess Badia immediately as its own far-sightedness, to King Faisal said out, but also a tone of the Americans can not be trusted, “this time we have to leave evidence, Washington promised us did not arrive. This time we must leave proof and urge the help of America.”

“Indeed we should, the U.S. has clearly promised us help, but has given far less support than the U.K., or even China, which gives us weekly satellite photos of Iran’s military deployments.”

While there was a lively discussion about this in Baghdad, Pamela Mountbatten looked at her husband as if she were seeing a psychopath, “Honey, what the hell are you doing?”

Alan Wilson, holding a vial, shook the white powder inside and said smugly, “I was thinking it would be fun to take the evidence of chemical weapons and put it on the UN General Assembly later.”
