Chapter 787 – The heart of the hand is all meat

Walking Anglo-American special relationship came to Kuala Lumpur, Allen Wilson naturally can’t wait to see, this is ready to go to the airport to meet, Pamela Mountbatten naturally follow, driving to the airport on the way, mentioning the latest report about the discovery of oil in the North Sea, “Rather there is no accurate evidence yet, have been looking for a few years.”

“Speaking of which, the delimitation regarding the North Sea and neighboring countries doesn’t seem to have been brought to the attention of the Cabinet yet. It’s not too late to do work on that.” Alan Wilson, sitting in the passenger seat, happened to think of the issue about the delimitation of the sea.

In this era Britain had not yet drawn maritime borders with neighboring countries, and it was more appropriate to explain it by saying that it had not yet turned a corner for a while.

Once upon a time the Royal Navy strength of the world’s first, with such strength Britain naturally do not need to take off their pants to fart, any sea for the United Kingdom is the internal sea.

Today’s times are different, the navy this kind of military service with special characteristics, not the first is almost nothing.

Especially after the arrival of the era of ironclad ships, there is no possibility of what weak against strong.

While the strength of the Royal Navy is still able to make countries other than the United States call their father, the demarcation of the border will certainly take advantage of a lot of advantages.

Once the demarcation is completed after wanting to change it will be much more difficult, do not believe to see the demarcation of Greece and Turkey to know, Turkey hated to swim out of the country, but so what, since the demarcation of the boundary has been made it has become a foregone conclusion.

“Are you just sure that there must be oil in the North Sea?” Pamela Mountbatten inquired as she gripped the steering wheel with two minds, once her husband had also said that there might be oil offshore of Newfoundland, but still hadn’t found it.

“There’s nothing one hundred percent about such things, but even for the North Sea fisheries we should try to keep it.” Alan Wilson said this seemed to have thought of something, “In fact, the current country still has a large number of islands in its hands, these islands are not large in size but cover a large area of the ocean, if oil resources can be found in the North Sea or Newfoundland, I believe that the government will also pay attention to these insignificant small islands.”

“As if the country is the only one that benefits?” Pamela Mountbatten gave her man a blank look, clearly dissatisfied with this answer.

“It would also be of great benefit to father if oil was found, every island offshore could have oil and gas resources. In case of a Gulf of Mexico, wouldn’t naval protection be needed? Then the importance of the Navy comes into play.” Alan Wilson followed his wife’s lead, explaining the joints.

Now the Mountbatten Group’s exploration team is spread all over now everywhere, but even so there is no guarantee that it will be able to find the oil and gas area in Allen Wilson’s memory, he can only remember the approximate location, circling a position to slowly find.

North Sea oil is important to the United Kingdom, the other oil and gas areas in the colonies, the North Sea is a reliable source of energy that can be used in the territory, even if it is found after the Cabinet does not agree with the private mining, Pamela Mountbatten can also talk to the government about the issue of nationalization.

In how it will not be more than the Algerian oil sold to the French more loss, to know the whole nationalization of the movement of Adderley, with two billion pounds to buy private enterprises.

To his wife’s frustration at the delay in finding oil and gas zones, Alan Wilson also offered comfort, “It’s all one geological structure, and what’s been found now is certainly not all the oil and gas in the North Sea.”

Sporadic oil resources in the North Sea were discovered a hundred years ago, when the Wetzer field was found near Hanover in northern Germany. A systematic survey of similar salt mounds and accompanying backslopes led to the discovery of some seventy fields with an annual production of three million barrels of oil, mostly from Lower Cretaceous and Jurassic reservoirs.

Twenty years ago the Netherlands also discovered some small reserves of oil and gas in the territory and commenced some oil production. The UK has also been exploring in the North Sea, though so far what has been found has been of little value for extraction.

Before arriving at the airport, Pamela Mountbatten, who had been making little progress in the North Sea, finally got her spirits back up, and both got out of the car at the same time, and soon spotted the McCarthy’s, and from a distance, Allen Wilson waved his hand in greeting.

“Joseph, I hear you’re making a big splash in America.” Upon meeting, Allen Wilson opened his mouth with a sincere smile, mentioning the fact that McCarthy was all the rage for a while in America today.

“Alan, I wonder what kind of happy water you’re ready for?” McCarthy was likewise very familiar, and if it weren’t for the fact that his wife was right next to him, he would have had to hook shoulders and hug them together.

Although it had been a long time since they had seen each other, the special relationship between the walking Anglo-Americans had not faded, and the two markets maintained a correspondence. Once it became a habit, McCarthy found some things on the British friend’s insights are often very unique.

Within minutes, the McCarthys were in the Silver Spirit, excited to see what the precincts their friend ran were really like.

Alan Wilson’s aesthetics had never been very general, summarized by the need for buildings to be symmetrical, large and streets wide, and Kuala Lumpur was laid out to that standard, but in general it was quite presentable.

Kuala Lumpur also bears the characteristics of a certain tropical city, and diversity is not in short supply; the city is characterized by Chinese, Malays and Indians, and is naturally able to be seen at a glance.

To this day, it is hard to imagine that this evolved from a gathering place for miners to the capital of British Malaya that it is today.

The only thing that worried McCarthy a little was the number of Chinese faces he saw, and he was worried about the safety of his friends, “How many Chinese are here? Will there be trouble?”

“Probably slightly more than fifty percent.” In the blink of an eye, Pamela Mountbatten had pulled up in front of a hotel, Allen Wilson got out of the car time to chat with McCarthy and spilled some of the real situation in Malaya.

Push the cup is naturally needless to say, the two men in the key road on the path of the cut is also inevitable. Both are intended to key to prove the Tao of Junjie, since the topic can not leave the international situation, tamping the foundation of the proof of the Tao.

The purpose of coming to Malaya, McCarthy also did not have the slightest concealment, with the help of alcohol, all and disclose. About a certain self-perceived good country, to self-appointed third world allies behavior, the United States is certainly on the surface does not say anything, but the heart is certainly dissatisfied.

What right does India have? Admittedly, with India’s population and size, the U.S. is willing to give a little sweetener to let the Indians amuse themselves a bit, such as during the Korean War and the Geneva Conference, both of which acquiesced to some of India’s moves to cross the line.

“Joseph, I was the assistant commissioner of India, if you talk about other countries, I may not have a say. But this country? All I can say is that individually on a personal level, the Indians are good to reach out to, but if you look at it from a national perspective, this country is quite unbelievable, only wanting to take advantage of the situation and not wanting to suffer.”

Alan Wilson didn’t think that one day he would be able to relate to India, but his friend McCarthy asked, and as a friend he would not be a friend enough if he didn’t tell the truth, “Probably on the eve of the evacuation of India, many of my colleagues and I sensed that those Nehru people were very ambitious. He had an enigmatic fondness for the Soviet Union.”

“Why didn’t Britain take this man out in the first place?” McCarthy asked rhetorically without thinking, “It would have solved everything and saved us the trouble of having to worry about it today.”

“Joseph, it’s not as simple as that, Patel seemed much more aggressive in the first place. And Nehru’s nature has not yet been revealed. How do we know that Patel died just after independence?”

Alan Wilson borderline shirking responsibility, the dead will not object, Patel is a bone, will not object to the two men who today represent the special relationship between Britain and the United States, to give him the definition.

Explained the difficulties of the United Kingdom in the beginning, Allen Wilson returned to the essence, explicitly and implicitly reminding the United States that India is the object to be guarded against, his glory days back, he is still the assistant commissioner of British India, as spirited, as elegant and eloquent.

“Alan means that it was not yet possible to judge Nehru’s inclinations in the first place.” Pamela Mountbatten, seeing her husband reminiscing about the great days of the past, couldn’t help but open her mouth to explain.

At the mention of British India, Pamela Mountbatten couldn’t help it, she thought her husband had a special mentality towards India, she just didn’t know exactly why.

“Pamela was right, we couldn’t tell at first, but it’s only now that we’re seeing Nehru’s performance after independence. We were right to be concerned.” Alan Wilson expressed a different view of Nehru and said uncertainly, “Is this Bogor conference an attempt to form a third power in the world and complicate an already very delicate situation?”

The five South Asian countries of the Bogor Conference actually have another identity, that of the initiator of the Bandung Conference. To talk about the Bandung Conference that was so notorious in the latter days, the protagonist who made all the noise was of course Nehru.

It was Nehru who contacted, Tito of Yugoslavia and Nasser of Egypt who took the lead in convening it, and as for China, it was Nehru who proposed the invitation, giving China the opportunity to show its face at such an international conference.

“Third party forces? Nehru is thinking out loud!” McCarthy sneered, “It’s like you said, Nehru is very ambitious, and Washington has noticed it. We wanted to attend the meeting. But Nehru refused.”

Nehru had balls! Alan Wilson said in his heart, this is what the Third World ally, the leader of the Third Camp independent of the U.S. and the Soviet Union, should do.

With this thought in his mind, he knit his brow tightly and said, “Nehru also rejected Britain’s claim to participate in the conference, and out of the traditional relationship between Britain and India, we do not want to see this scene.”

This was of course a lie, India’s import and export trade was settled in pounds, how could Britain report prejudice against India? Not only not to India but also not to China, the reason being the British assets in China.

“The heart of the hand is meat!” Alan Wilson is very troubled, this kind of thing or the United States is more qualified to step in.
