The appearance of a group of big buyers, so that the former High Commissioner is quite pleased, not much time to see, it seems that there are a few new female family members, the plate is right, successful people really are all ravishing, but also a mouthful of a bitchy inner, the first time he opened his mouth is the old Versailles.

“The bosses are a little too modest, I still know something about your traditional clothing, the woman who dares to wear it out must have a strong self-confidence.” Allen Wilson hemmed and hawed, then greeted a few of his aunts.

To wear traditional clothing well, it was not something that an average woman could manage. Hanfu can easily brush off ninety percent of women, cheongsam requires even more on the figure above Hanfu, bad figure dare to show?

“Bastard heard that the Lord of the Middle Hall is leaving, very much want to take a glimpse of the true face of Mount Lushan.” Gu Ke enthusiastically opened his mouth, “all of us can’t leave Zhongtang Lord’s promotion.”

“This is also a fact, the compliments from the ladies are truly touching.” Alan Wilson said this with a soft lull, then hinted that there was a place for women, and that it would be better to not have women here when talking business.

The people will understand, let come aunts with Louis Vuitton, loaded with L’Oreal to find the two brands of the spokesperson Ms. Summer Dream to talk to each other are so familiar with each other, there is no need to avoid too much.

To each other’s relationship, even if the buyers have nothing to like to kill, this is not impossible to talk about.

Alan Wilson asked if there were any difficulties in the textile industry that was transferred to Burma, and Goucault said that by and large it went smoothly, and although the investment was not small, the cost could be recovered in a couple of years, and later on it would enter the profit stage.

“We still have some substance in Britain.” Alan Wilson turned the tables and said without panic, “Southeast Asia’s Chinese community has a special status, currently from the ideological and national strength, the mainland government can not be busy on what you help. Even if you want to help, it will only be counterproductive, but the UK can support you to expand your industry, if I’m right, everyone will have a drink with me.”

Su Yang sniffed and immediately greeted the waiter over, filling a cup for all the buyers, and first spoke, “Then we will toast to Lord Zhongtang, when we need to contribute, we will never be shy.”

“Thank you for the wishes of the Justices of the Peace, my people are far away from 10,000 miles, but I have always been mindful of the stability and prosperity of this place.” Alan Wilson raised his glass in a gesture and wished with the same smile on his face, “Good times are still ahead.”

Are supported by the Chinese businessmen, Allen Wilson does not have to hide anything, analyzing the international situation, Burma is relying on the United Kingdom did not completely decline, at least in front of Burma can be said to be strong, so it is worth investing in. Like other Southeast Asian countries, we have to rely on their own efforts.

“What does Lord Zhongtang think of Thailand? I received guests from the Xie family in Thailand some time ago, let’s see if there are opportunities for cooperation.” Tian Qianqiu took the initiative to ask, they weren’t political figures after all and weren’t quite sure about the international situation.

“What’s the name of his company?” Allen Wilson’s heart stirred when he heard the surname and asked a clueless question. Tian Qianqiu immediately told know, “Zhengda Company ……”

“It’s a good person to work with.” Alan Wilson heard really so, directly, “between you blood is thicker than water, limited by the invisible border line, help can be limited to cooperation, and other Southeast Asian countries of the Chinese businessmen to help each other or even marriage. The British Empire is happy to see this, in fact, does not necessarily have to hold shares, as for the reason, or because of that invisible border line.”

Alan Wilson said a round of words like a tongue-twister, letting them take their own time to realize, “The Chinese have an economic status, but they are a minority no matter what country they are in, and if there comes a time when the UK has to leave from Southeast Asia?”

“We are infinitely loyal to the Queen’s leadership ……,” Su Yang hurried to state, but the words are still very reserved.

Loyal to the Queen, but the so-called British Cabinet has nothing to do with them, Alan Wilson can hear the strings, but what does it matter? People really have no obligation to be loyal to the British government.

“God bless the Queen!” Allen Wilson raised his glass, and with a million humble hearts, he saluted in the direction of London.

“God save the Queen.” Glasses clinked, adding to the process of diversification in the Malayan colonies and indeed in Southeast Asia as a whole.

The so-called public-private balance, in this area Alan Wilson thought he had been doing well, in addition to giving the elite class of British Africa a run for their money, he came over for a trip to raise funds, talk about blackmail, at least the presence of the buyers of the industry, all have his original with the provision of start-up capital in exchange for shares, generally in the range of fifteen to twenty percent, can you find a high commissioner of such a conscience as him?

Originally is their own industry, now in order to silver operation to take a little is not excessive.

It was also only partly, considering the long and close friendship with the Maharaja Ali Khan of Sabah, he couldn’t let such a good thing leave his friend behind.

The moment he finalized these things and boarded the Comet airliner, he was able to call it a full house.

This time he had raided almost all the ladies on a par with his wife, the whole of the buyers supported, and the Maharajah of Ali Khan, and, together with the help of the Newfoundland Foundation, had raised funds to buy twenty-eight and a half million ounces of gold, and was ready to make a great deal of money in silver.

Looking for trouble in gold is the French skyrocketed fierce General de Gaulle’s business, he such a small role can only be in the silver, the Comet airliner straight into the 10,000-meter high altitude, arrived in Karachi, now the capital of Pakistan.

From the hands of the Pakistani High Commissioner, records were obtained about previous meetings between the Portuguese Goa side and Pakistan.

Portuguese-Pakistani relations had been good since Pakistan’s independence, and Allen Wilson would not deny that this had something to do with himself that was not very big, and by not very big I mean that it was about the details rather than the big picture.

Britain’s relations with Pakistan have also been good, in terms of trade and economic relations. The Middle East was extremely important in Britain’s eyes and the initiation of the construction of the airports as well as the construction of the British Middle East colonies and protectorates required huge manpower.

Malaya colony because of the positioning of the industrial production base, labor force on the early exhaustion, even very able to create employment in the textile industry are transferred to Burma, naturally there is no surplus labor to work in the Middle East.

Britain is now able to maintain the influence of the Middle East is the largest country Iraq, and then big beyond the national strength of the United Kingdom. The countries in the Middle East that can be covered by the United Kingdom are small in size and small in population. In itself, there is not much labor force, then only let Pakistan help.

The Middle East in later times, the main foreign labor force also comes from South Asia, to be exact, India. Don’t look at the old fairy within the heavy-handed attack on the religion of peace, but in the Middle East the Indians are serving the religion of peace lords.

Since India’s independence, Alan Wilson has been determined to weaken the legacy of the British India period, that is, in the British colony of Indian heritage, naturally, it is not possible to let the Indians in the borrowing of the British Empire’s brand to borrow chickens and eggs.

In the balance of considerations, Indian labor to be diplomatically prevented from entering into the Middle East, replaced by Pakistani labor.

Via Karachi, Comet I finally landed in Basra, a major town in southern Iraq, and Hedy Lamarr, shrouded in black Arabian robes, stepped off the plane with Alan Wilson, who had come to relieve the minister of his problems.

Just off the plane, his old friend John, Commissioner of the Persian Gulf, was waiting with a serious face, so that Allen Wilson felt that things are not good, if it is in a third world country, even in the Soviet Union, he now did not have to think about are, is it a coup?

As if history did have an Iraqi revolution this year, Alan Wilson couldn’t help but feel a little heavy hearted, “My friend, what the hell is going on?”

“The communication between the minister and the Iranian side is not going well, and Prime Minister Mossadegh’s attitude is very tough this time. Let Britain terminate the unequal treaty and return the oil control to Iran.” John shook his head slightly and said, “The minister is in a terrible mood.”

Alan Wilson’s face slightly slowed down, it’s good that it’s not the Iraqi revolution, and asked with a sigh of relief, “Have you communicated with the American side yet, and what did the Americans say.”

“The Americans are ambiguous and dismayed.” John and Alan Wilson shoulder to shoulder while walking, “The Americans said that this is a matter between Britain and Iran, but do not recommend that Britain make a big deal out of it.”

“Damn it, they’re the only ones who can qualify to make trouble, I can’t believe Pahlavi could work with the Soviets, what monarch would dare? Wyatt didn’t get a hint of movement over there?” Alan Wilson’s face was furious, the White in his mouth was Richard White, the director of MI6.

John shook his head and reminded his good friend, “The minister is in a rather unpleasant mood right now, so you have to be careful.”

“I know.” The two of them got into the car together and went straight to the hotel where Foreign Secretary Harold Wilson was staying.

Harold Wilson’s mood was indeed very unpleasant, obviously the previous talks were good, the Iranian side suddenly changed its mind, which really caught him off guard and refused to communicate with a very strong attitude.

At this very moment, the royal palace in Tehran, the U.S. ambassador to Iran has just come out of the Pahlavi king’s bedchamber. A certain walking Anglo-American special relationship in the open and hardcore anti-American elements in the shadows suspected nothing wrong, is exactly under ……

In the midst of the Iranian oil crisis a few years ago, the U.S. was in the mood to watch and see Britain embarrassed. Because things have been going on for a year, the U.S. judged that the UK would not be able to solve the problem peacefully, so it took a wait-and-see attitude.

Unexpectedly, Britain and Mossadegh really adjusted the allocation of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company.

This makes the United States of America to wait and see what happens a big disappointment, did not find the opportunity to show good Iran by stepping on the foot of the United Kingdom. Now the short-term solution has expired, the United States this time can not let go of the opportunity to wait and see what happens is no longer possible, we must take the initiative.
