Chapter 522: Rumors Stop at the Wise Men
Regarding the part of the British representatives, the conspiracy against Egypt, persuaded by the despicable Iraqis, ended with a shameful result.
This matter in fact Alan Wilson did not care, anyway, the Sudan from Egypt partition success on it.
In fact, Egypt did not have the right to decide about the future of the Sudan; the decision was never in the hands of Britain.
So whether Farouk I eventually agreed or not, Egypt’s juridical rule over Sudan would end, and had never existed anyway.
Alan Wilson was even wondering whether to advance the partition of the Sudan north and south, and anyway, since the partition of British India India and Pakistan, there had been a consensus up and down Whitehall to switch from the old combined parties to a variety of partitions.
Thereby ensuring that none of the colonies could surpass the British mainland in terms of potential, and anyway, the Arabs and blacks would still be fighting after Sudan’s independence, so it would be better to change the administrative division and make some adjustments.
Just from the Egyptian capital of Cairo planning this matter, may be slightly inconvenient, just Grace has not yet arrived, he first accompanied Hedy Lamarr to soothe the mood, who knows, he has only just been in the Arab League meeting by the old boss to educate a bit, take the opportunity to take a break from the heart is reasonable.
Pamela Mountbatten did know, his fiancé in the Arab League meeting in disgrace, so through the British Embassy sent a telegram inquiry, computer content to express comfort.
At the same time also indicates that he is about to travel also New Delhi, put the fiancé’s medical license in the first place to use.
This matter Alan Wilson of course is supportive, asking how his fiancée’s recent mood, need to be accompanied?
Pamela Mountbatten’s call back among the said okay, although heard about the vilification of Allen Wilson’s rumors, but are not believed, two people’s feelings as always unbreakable.
“It seems the shameful Egyptian planting has had some effect.” Alan Wilson took the telegram and pondered what kind of rhetoric to use to explain.
“Afraid? But the content of this telegram is worded strangely? Any other woman would have made a scene long ago.” Hedy Lamarr was lying on the man’s back, likewise reading the contents of the telegram and giving Allen Wilson an analysis.
“So what exactly does that mean?” Allen Wilson asked as his head glanced up to kiss Hedy Lamarr on the cheek.
“Literally, your fiancée did hear the rumors, but after much deliberation chose not to believe them.” Hedy Lamarr stared at the telegram for a few seconds, “So my suggestion is that you pretend you didn’t see what Pamela was implying.”
“It’s not that I’m afraid to admit it, mostly because I don’t want to upset Pamela.” Alan Wilson corrected, “Actually it would be the same for you in a different way, I don’t want to hurt any woman I’m entangled with.”
“If you were my first love, I’d hate to strangle your shameless ass.” Hedy Lamarr quipped against Alan Wilson’s ear, “You’re so righteous, even when you’re lying.”
Allen Wilson didn’t answer, what was there to answer about nonsense, and with that effort he might as well do something for Pamela Mountbatten’s cause.
Just like liaising with the evergreen of the Kingdom of Iraq, Prime Minister Nouri Said, about this matter of arguing with the host Kingdom of Egypt, he believed that it would definitely be beneficial to Prime Minister Nouri Said’s ruling career.
Without having to make a trip to the Kingdom of Iraq, Alan Wilson could imagine that Prime Minister Nuri Said’s argument for the Kingdom of Iraq was unlikely to have a negative impact.
This is a good thing for Britain for the simple as hell reason that Iraq is a kingdom and there is a royal family as well as an aristocracy.
And Iraq’s royal family isn’t considered all that powerful, far from the national motto of proletarians of the world, united! The aristocracy’s arch-enemy, the Soviet Union, is not far away.
In such a situation, the national and religious issues are minor, and the Iraqi nobility, including Prime Minister Nuri Said, will not make a mistake on this issue.
Not to say that the corrupt and backward feudal lords of the countries do not make mistakes at all, for example, the Red Prince Daoud, who was also a member of the Afghan royal family, killed the royal family and turned himself into the ruler of Afghanistan. But with the kingdom gone, his value was greatly diminished and he was eventually replaced by Amin again.
But after Sir Barron’s introduction, Alan Wilson understood that Prime Minister Nuri Said was wary of the Soviet Union. That was the reason for Prime Minister Nuri Said’s pro-British attitude. So that was something to talk about!
After the Arab League meeting, the two men, who had set off the great image of King Farouk I of Egypt with the face of a loser, met again, the delegation of the Kingdom of Iraq was about to return home, and all the dust had settled, so this time the meeting was obviously free of the national factor, and the conversation was much lighter.
The purpose of this meeting Allen Wilson, simply put, is that I can also talk, I can also be patriotic.
“Honorable Prime Minister, in fact, we British people understand in our hearts, the current share of oil profits, of course, is unfair to the Iraqis, but the Prime Minister also need to appreciate the difficulties of the British Empire, Britain has already fought two world wars as the main force. And the population of the British mainland, can not be as huge as the United States and the Soviet Union, killed in action so many people do not take it seriously. The Soviets died as a sacrifice for their country, a medal will do, we British soldiers but we want a pension.”
Said Alan Wilson paused for a moment, “This unfair profit will definitely change in the future, but it will take some time, and I also hope that the Prime Minister can remain patient and wait for us to make improvements. For this I am personally very grateful. The fact is that Iraq, like Britain, is a kingdom with a monarch, and with the attributes of the state here, there is nothing that cannot be talked about. Your king is still being educated in London!”
As for the issue of the former invasion, Alan Wilson did not mention it, he never thought that in a period of toughness to go around attacking cities and territories is something untenable, the British Empire attacked a lot of countries. The British Empire attacked many countries. Iraq is just one of them, or a relatively insignificant one.
Britain doesn’t feel guilty about its past expansion, although in later times it always proclaims so, but the purpose of the proclamation is still to put up a front of admitting fault and then continue to seek profit.
As for Alan Wilson himself, he doesn’t even have that attitude, he even thinks that he should learn the colonial means of domination with the continental country France, preferably and preferably with ancient China, as far as slaughtering and occupying land is concerned.
On the contrary, he is not a fan of the British tradition of putting the interests of the maritime nations first, and the thinking that British interests come first is the culprit that led to the step to become an American air base.
“Actually, I am for my fiancée’s business, to show friendship.” Alan Wilson did not have to hide anything, and directly lifted out Pamela Mountbatten, the thriving richest British woman.
No surprise, the world’s richest woman is not difficult, as to whether it will become the world’s richest man, it depends on Allen Wilson can continue to create the conditions, at this time he and Prime Minister Nuri Said, is to create the conditions.
There is a view in later times that British colonial rule was kinder than French colonial rule? This is actually a mistake, in the pursuit of profit Britain was no more benevolent than the French, it was just the pursuit of land control that was really inferior to a continental country like France, let alone France, or even Spain and Portugal.
Salazar really did manage to keep Portugal’s overseas colonies while he was alive, and it took four wars for France to finally realize that the tide had turned.
In fact, the Vietnam War and the Algerian War were only two of France’s post-war battlegrounds, and during the same period Madagascar also saw an uprising against French rule, followed by the landing of a French expeditionary force that wiped out the island’s insurgent army in a month, killing more than 90,000 of them in the process.
Now the British Petroleum Company in the Persian Gulf region left almost nothing for the local area, that is, all the profits from the extracted oil went to the company, and the host country could not get anything. This is the same as France’s attitude towards Africa in later times.
Except that the British colonies, most of which originally existed in civilized countries, were far more at risk from resentment of such exploitation than France’s Black African colonies.
In fact, Algeria was more similar to the environment of the British colonies as well as the protectorates, and eventually the longest-running French colony fought the French as well. Cold relations between the two sides continued into the twenty-first century, and it was clear that Algeria, where the average person understood French, just wouldn’t join the Francophonie.
Listening to Alan Wilson, Prime Minister Nouri Said realized that Pamela Mountbatten, daughter of the Mountbatten family, who was extremely close to the British Crown, and who had just discovered a large iron ore mine, was expanding her business territory to include oil.
Alan Wilson assures that once Mountbatten Oil Company one day enters Iraq, it will definitely change the current unfair profit distribution to Iraq by the British oil companies in general.
“Mr. Wilson, I am certainly looking forward to that outcome! Just is that the purpose of your support for Iraq this time?” Prime Minister Nuri Said asked rhetorically after hearing this.
“No, Iraq has real potential to be the leader of the Arab world, for all the reasons I have already stated. It’s just that Egypt’s demographic advantage is really too great, and that has to be taken into account as well.” Alan Wilson said honestly, “I hope that in two to three years, when my fiancée enters the Iraqi oil field, she will be able to be taken care of in some way, or we are taking care of each other, there are not many kingdoms left in today’s world, and we have a basis for friendship.”
“I hope that Mr. Wilson’s words will come true in the near future.” Prime Minister Nuri Said nodded solemnly, agreeing with what Alan Wilson had just said about the monarchy.
Once the Iraqi delegation had returned home, Alan Wilson telegraphed directly to London, explaining about his networking for his fiancée and the Iraqis.
At home in London, Pamela Mountbatten sat on the sofa and carefully read the telegram, Princess Margaret sat on the side and also made a lookout, obviously also quite interested in the contents of the telegram, and asked curiously, “How is it!”
“Alan has established a good relationship with the Iraqis!” Pamela Mountbatten put the telegram away and held her forehead helplessly, “It’s not that I’m complaining about him, in fact, you don’t have to work so hard.”
“Not two days ago when I was in a bad mood!” Princess Margaret herself didn’t even realize that her tone was sour, but for once she didn’t take the opportunity to say something bad.
“When was I in a bad mood, that was all a rumor, I never believed it.” Pamela Mountbatten gave Princess Margaret a blank look, denying that she was angry about it.
