Chapter 859 – Allies Become More and More Suspicious

The truth is that this treaty is nothing noteworthy, and is even weaker than the original historical Baghdad treaty.

The fundamental reason is that the US support for Israel is too much for the Arab countries to let go of.

Powers like Egypt and Iraq, traditionally Arab world powers, are competing for influence in the Arab world with Israel as the main conflict shifter, Egypt has a much larger population and has been the center of Arab culture in recent centuries.

Iraq, on the other hand, although not in the same demographic league as Egypt, occupies the Two Rivers basin and is backed by oil revenues.

Since the first Middle East war, the Arab countries have resented the US pulling the strings. Now ignoring the backers behind Israel and gleefully confronting the Soviet Union in the north is hardly supported by domestic public opinion.

Will the US give up its support for Israel? Of course not, the Arab world has too much potential, Israel is a nail in the coffin of the Arab world, and it is only a question of who is going to support Israel, not no one.

Those who support Israel can be the US, the USSR, and if necessary France and the UK. So the last war with the Middle East was a situation where both the US and the USSR supported Israel.

But again, the USSR and the US were different because the political systems were different and the USSR was able to do a little support and then call it quits. The United States could not do so, and the Soviet Union waited until Israel was stabilized and then withdrew, resulting in the Arab world now seeing only the United States supporting Israel.

The United Kingdom got rid of the United States of America’s financial hostage, it is impossible to take their own operation in the Middle East for decades for the United States of America’s diplomatic support, Britain will not really pour out his heart and lungs in the Arab world to set up a model country, the local countries are at best a protectorate, and not everything to listen to the colonies of London, but also will not take the initiative to go to the United States to show the father’s love.

Without the US holding them financially hostage, Britain continued to practice orderly withdrawal, and again didn’t have to drive the Arabs to hang themselves over a little interest. In the final analysis, the post-war British in retreat is no money to make, if the financial health is incomparable, the internal circulation is not a problem, with the use of the United States of America’s bird anger?

Alan Wilson asserted that the United States was actually unhappy when Britain cleared its arrears to the United States.

Because there is still a lot of heritage in the hands of the United Kingdom has not been the United States to get their hands on, and billions of dollars in arrears compared to these heritage are priceless. After this village, in the future in wanting to take from the hands of Britain, the price paid is not billions of dollars can be calculated.

“Suspicious allies are getting more and more suspicious.” Alan Wilson compared the memory of the Treaty of Baghdad and the current treaty of Ankara, and decided to communicate with the old boss Sir Barron, who was at the end of the benefit society, to inquire about the situation in the Middle East.

And also listed the countries that may be broken by the U.S. Alan Wilson has reason to believe that this Ankara Treaty member states, the United States is not satisfied. Want to block the Soviet Union’s southern route, without Iran’s accession, this so-called defense line is as good as none.

And there was the great loophole of the free world that relied on the presence of Allen Wilson, now High Commissioner of the Malayan Colony. Iran is still in a three-way tie, and Mossadegh certainly doesn’t like the Soviet Union in his heart, but that doesn’t mean he likes the United States, carefully balancing the situation at home.

Mossadegh, the prime minister of Iran, will not easily let Iran fall into this vortex. So in the telegram, Alan Wilson suggested Sir Barron, whether to investigate the United States, will not move against Mossadegh.

If you do it how to protect the interests of British Petroleum, as for Iraq, the current U.S. influence is not big.

The so-called influence, to a large extent, is to rely on the garrison to realize, in this era, the United States of America’s global base is a lot, but it is not yet like later, thousands of military bases all over the world.

For example, Saudi Arabia’s military bases, is after Iraq’s annexation of Kuwait, the United States only seized the opportunity to stand firm in Saudi Arabia.

U.S. military bases much after decades of expansion before the result, now many independent countries, there is no U.S. military bases, even Pakistan, the United States is also through the dollar to exert influence.

Originally, historically, Britain and the United States stationed troops with each other, but because of frivolous attitudes including MacArthur’s attitude toward nuclear weapons and various reasons, the military bases that were originally in Britain are now in France.

Alan Wilson doesn’t guarantee that Mossadegh will be overthrown, just that it’s a possibility.

I hope that the old boss who is waiting for retirement, do not enter early retirement first, and stand the last post for the old imperialism.

Sending the telegram, with his hands on his hips, Alan Wilson pondered how to respond to a potential move by a suspicious ally. When it came to the colonial sphere, Britain and France should certainly adopt a cooperative attitude, but the colonial powers were not just Britain and France.

Holland, Belgium, Portugal, and Spain were all colonial powers, and Belgium only had the Belgian Congo in the center of Africa. And it’s hard to argue with the willingness to be out of the way for the sake of the colonies. France has enough national strength and determination to be suppressing Algerian resistance right now, and the Netherlands, not to mention its Malayan colonial neighbors.

But the most determined in the colonial field, but also under the rule of Salazar’s Portugal, the last colonial empire is not for nothing? The only shackle is that Portugal itself is not very powerful.

“It seems I must help the Portuguese.” Alan Wilson entered the role of hanging the seal of the six kingdoms again. The last time he had entered this state, he was still in New Delhi, but had already helped Holland devise a partition route.

It just so happened that Governor Calais was currently still in Malaya without leaving, and had promised to use his contacts to help the Mountbatten Group get into Brazil.

But Allen Wilson did not rush to find Calais, while his wife was not paying attention, directly went to good sister-in-law Princess Margaret.

Put the salty hand on the familiar warm place, embracing the Princess Allen Wilson, “I want to help you expand your career, although you are a princess and an important member of the royal family. However, it is better not to rely on appropriations for some expenses. Reducing the chances of appearing in philistine news is actually important for the royal family.”

“Hm?” The princess who clamped her legs together showed doubt, was her brother-in-law so serious, and couldn’t help but tease, “It would be more convincing to say that if you pulled your hand out.”

“Do you think I’m going to just give people ideas?” Just as if he didn’t hear Princess Margaret’s flirting, Allen Wilson, who didn’t move in place, lowered his voice and said, “This is my wife’s treatment, it’s not something that just anyone can get.”

Allen Wilson did not lie, he supported the Heilmann family in Germany, helped Hedy Lamarr and Ingrid Bergman develop their careers in France, and helped Hepburn enter the acting world. Helping Vivien Leigh go further, it’s all been real and unrequited.

While there are exceptions, and Greta Garbo loves being a geek, that’s not his problem.

He’s even gone out of his way to help out a lot of actresses that he’s only been in contact with for a while, in fact he doesn’t even need to do that, a lot of the actresses in the Golden Twelve don’t know him that well at all, but he still does it.

He wasn’t the kind of guy Andy was who didn’t give money, and gave back in areas where he could. After doing the math, numerous ladies on equal footing with his wife had earned it, except for himself, who had been hollowed out.

“What do you want me to do?” Princess Margaret thought for half a day and exhaled to her brother-in-law.

“I don’t want you to worry about something as out-of-body as money.” Alan Wilson confessed fondly, “I want to see a radiant Your Highness, free to want to do what she wants to do.”

It was hard to imagine these acidic pouring words just coming out of his mouth, and Alan Wilson himself didn’t want to go back over them again.

But the effect is very good, Princess Margaret a pair of eyes almost to drip out of water, body and mind are in a double pleasure state, completely is an obedient good baby look, “I all listen to you.”

“You should just listen to sister-in-law, sister-in-law definitely has no heart to lie to you.” Accurately receiving the signal from half of his ass, Alan Wilson said with a reserved face, “Then follow my words, don’t question what I say, you can take the initiative to let Pamela help you progress in business, I’ll help you communicate the rest.”

“Uh-huh.” Princess Margaret’s head directly tilted on Alan Wilson’s shoulder, her body was in a relaxed state, full of attachment, “I listen to my brother-in-law in everything.”

“Your Highness wants to go into business?” Allen Wilson pretended to be surprised, his gaze shifted from Pamela Mountbatten to Princess Margaret, his eyes full of seeing problem children.

As if he didn’t even know about it, Pamela Mountbatten didn’t explain, but just said, “Margaret said that the world is so big, she also wants to replicate the miracle and go to Africa to see what she can find.”

“Is that so?” Alan Wilson once again made the standard response expression, “But the environment in Africa is not very friendly. There is a possibility of losing your blood money, all these factors have to be considered, of course I am not stopping anything, after all, I don’t know the situation either. But for Your Highness’s enterprising spirit, I personally support it.”

“It’s good to try.” Pamela Mountbatten glanced at Princess Margaret and agreed, “The world is so big, you really should travel around, there might be unexpected gains.”

Unexpected harvest is sure to exist, in the early development of a country, especially to rely on its own resources to lay the foundation, there will be a kind of resource proximity principle, as far as possible to look for resource-rich places to establish the center of the city.

For many late-developing countries, this principle occupies the lion’s share, Allen Wilson agreed to help, saying that it just so happened that the Governor of Calais was there, willing to communicate with the Portuguese government on this occasion, and sign a contract following the example of the one signed with Australia, to explore the Portuguese colonies.

“Sounds good.” Pamela Mountbatten how to know her husband’s heart so many curves, poor her, was played by her husband in the palm of his hand.
