Chapter 675: Finalizing the aerodrome

The boulder in his heart fell to the ground, but Alan Wilson could not leave at once, and not just for the several protectorates around the Persian Gulf to form the UAE, a matter which naturally was in the hands of his old boss, Sir Barron.

It would not be conducive to unity with the civil service community if he took advantage of his diplomatic duties to come to the Persian Gulf and not consider himself an outsider.

These pocket-sized emirates are not going to be able to turn the tide, so they can wait for Sir Barron to come up with a mature and constructive plan, and work slowly for eight or ten years.

The merger can be planned slowly, the project can be started first, just these pocket countries of oil and gas resources have not yet been discovered, at this time more conducive to the United Kingdom to promote the relevant plans.

He believed that the plan of the air transit port, for these nineteen fifty-two has not yet hand in hand with the oil and gas resources of the emirates, is a very attractive program, whether it is Qatar or Bahrain, are not the latter day that lie on the banknotes of the dead look, it is just right to need the United Kingdom to save.

Alan Wilson was not prepared to intervene, but nonetheless opened Sir Barron up to discussion on the subject, while at the same time tending to the self-respect of these emirates.

That said, this is exactly why Alan Wilson didn’t leave right away, he is watching to see how Mossadegh wraps up this negotiation once he is back home and if he can give his Iranian supporters a piece of his mind.

“These emirates are small in size and are not able to defend themselves. No oil or gas resources have been discovered yet. So let’s say that with their size, the chances of discovering huge reserves of oil and gas resources are not high, is that reasonable?”

“Of course we still need to conduct exploration in the future, but it’s also true that there are no resources in these emirates right now.” Alan Wilson looked at his old boss as he did in British India, doing the job of an assistant commissioner offering advice.

Seeing that Alan Wilson remained humble as he had been in New Delhi, Sir Barron’s heart was like a mirror, “The oil and gas resources of these emirates, if they exist, I am sure that several emirs would very much like to have the fast growing Mountbatten Oil and Gas Company, bring the long time fortune to them.”

“Honorable Sir, see what you say. We all hope, of course, that this good fortune will be maintained. But Pamela might get spoiled!” Alan Wilson bowed his head slightly, borderline, “Of course it’s good for the country, and equally good for Whitehall, in fact how could the exploration work go on without you looking after it? You are so knowledgeable about the place, I see that when the time comes the vice president of the oil and gas company, there is bound to be a place for you.”

“Very well!” Sir Barron narrowed his eyes in a knowing manner, “It’s all for the sake of civilization and order in the British Empire.”

“And for the sake, too, of the well-being of the local Arabs.” Alan Wilson had taken out a bottle of whisky at some point, and got up and opened it while pouring it for Sir Barron.

“Oh, by the way, I heard that the citizens of the country are most concerned about the Helsinki Olympics that are about to begin, rather than your negotiations. I’ve heard …… it seems that some citizens have taken offense to the composition of the British delegation?”

Sir Barron, who was holding a glass of wine, invited a sip and looked straight at Alan Wilson as if locking on to a suspect.

“Honorable Sir, this is the least costly way to test the native citizens.” Allen Wilson smiled slightly, and did not hold back any little detail, spilling the beans on any ideas other than the Commonwealth Lottery program.

The two men next talked about the still-dragging Korean War, and Sir Barron knew that Alan Wilson was working as a commissioner in Asia. And that the Chinese were the majority ethnic group in the jurisdiction, asking for thoughts on the matter.

“The Americans are too one-dimensional, we can not be the same as them, if I make foreign policy, the core of my basic work is, with eighty percent of the time and the United States to stand together, the remaining twenty percent of the time, the previous eighty percent of the results of the churn!”

Allen Wilson laughed, not hiding his own contempt for the United States. His view of the United States was consistent, although in the eyes of many such as McCarthy, Allen Wilson was a walking Anglo-American special relationship.

But he knew that Britain’s destiny must never be bound to the United States any more than the edifice that was the collapse of the Soviet Union smashed a bunch of Eastern European socialist countries. Once bound too deeply, the U.S. could take Britain into the ditch.

Take the United States in the twenty-first century, all countries except the United States know that the United States does not have the strength to fight hard against China and Russia at the same time, but the Sleeping King does not feel so, and it would be better to talk to the Great Emperor once than not at all.

In the final analysis, because anti-Russia in the United States is a sunset industry too big to fall, it involves personnel relations, financial flows, political structure is too large, so that even the minimum interference in this industry, have to risk a great political risk, look at understand the king was tortured by the Russian Federation for how long you know.

The United States of America on as long as in an additional effort to replicate the collapse of the Soviet Union, so that Russia in the disintegration of a delusion, simply to the degree of conviction, in the delusion of the United States can not extricate themselves, not to mention the enemy to remind, even if the allies can not wake up this kind of delusion.

Convinced that the U.S. can knock Russia down again, in the U.S. is not a political opinion, but a political correctness. The whole of American politics is chanting the scriptures, and it’s not possible to be loud enough to do it, let alone not do it.

That’s why when talking to the Great One, the Sleeping King was able to make the unthinkable offer of stating that Russia can be recognized as legitimate by the US as long as Russia doesn’t mess up at this point in time.

This is equivalent to the US saying I’m going to deal with China now, Russia don’t come out and make trouble and I’ll let you live a few more years. It’s as if Russia is going to have its existence as a country questioned if it doesn’t agree.

The King of Understanding is a little rough around the edges, but you can see that it is ready to contract, just like the UK after the current war, but the King of Sleeping clearly still has to go from one victory to another.

So there’s nothing incomprehensible for the US to open the Vietnam War after the Korean War. The Americans received world hegemony without paying much for the war, so naturally they don’t know the sky is the limit.

The Emir’s meeting, invited by Sir Barron, was held in Doha, at the invitation of his old boss, Alan Wilson as a spectator, on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also to make a good relationship with these people who are destined to lie on the banknotes and sleep in the future.

Emirs with turbans, who are later to work overtime until two o’clock in the afternoon, deserve Allen Wilson’s courtesy.

The protagonist is the Commissioner of the Persian Gulf, Sir Barron, Allen Wilson is just a companion to see the feedback of Iranian public opinion after Mossadegh’s return to the country, whether it is considered that Mossadegh defied the power and firmly defended the interests of Iran. Or that Mossadegh had lost his power and humiliated his country.

“The prime minister fought for a 50-50 agreement on oil profits in the British-Iranian relationship, which was the prime minister’s original intention earlier.”

“Britain made concessions to Mossadegh Prime Minister’s pressure, saying it would make Anglo-Indian Oil’s accounts transparent.”

“In the midst of the international situation, there is no excuse for defending Iran’s interests, but it is also necessary to pay attention to ways and means. The British delegates at the talks were impressed by the Prime Minister’s mature statesmanship.”

“When was I convinced?” Alan Wilson turned a deaf ear to the exchanges between Sir Barron and several emirs. Go through the influential newspapers in Iran to determine the prevailing opinion in Iran now that the talks are over.

There are those who praise Mossadegh for defending the national interest, those who report on the transparency of the accounts, and those who praise Mossadegh’s mature diplomacy. In the final analysis Iran won hemp. If this opinion is true, at least in the short term, Alan Wilson does not have to worry about Iranian thunder.

For Britain today, where everything should be about stability, being able to stall for time is a great victory. If it were before, he might have been worried that the conservative forces at home, would not accuse him of conceding too much.

Now he’s not so worried. Didn’t you hear what Sir Barron said? Local citizens are clearly more concerned about the number of black athletes in the British delegation at the Helsinki Olympics.

That’s normal, if Alan Wilson were an ordinary man he’d be more concerned about this than any oil negotiations. It’s all human nature, the government is concerned about the oil negotiations but has no memory of it, and it’s obviously not as eye-catching as the race issue.

“Honorable Emirs, that’s the plan for the air staging area. What I hope is that you will all make good use of your special geography in the middle of Eurasia.” Sir Barron said drawing his attention to Alan Wilson who was reading the newspaper, “This one project will be made possible with the full help of the British Empire, raw materials will be provided by Africa, industrial capacity will be helped by Malaya, and manpower London will communicate with Pakistan. Of course, we support the Honorable Emirs, to be able to adopt a strategy of diversification, after all, your territories combined are not comparable to Saudi Iran, isn’t that right, Allen.”

“Yes, honorable Sir Barron.” Alan Wilson put down the newspaper and continued to draw the pie along Sir Barron’s line of thought, “The huge flow of people brought by the air transit station will boost everyone’s prosperity. Of course we don’t mean to give up our work in oil and gas exploration, if we can do both, it would be a huge benefit to both Britain and the Emirs, it’s a win-win strategy.”

Whitehall had already drawn up plans just waiting to be implemented, so today’s communication was not difficult for both Sir Barron and Alan Wilson.

Bahrain, Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Dubai, Ras al-Khaimah, Ajman, Fujairah, Umm al-Qaiwain nine countries Emi successively endorsed the plan, Sir Barron then signed on behalf of the United Kingdom in the air transit center plan, the location is set in Dubai.

Things have come to this point, know that Mossadegh after returning to the country did not encounter any trouble, Alan Wilson can temporarily regardless of things here, they sent a telegram to Paris, so that his wife to send a connecting flight to Cyprus, and high to the Mediterranean Fleet Commander-in-Chief of his father-in-law, worry about the country a little.
