British Civil Servant

Vol 2 Chapter 672: Benefit equally

The first meeting was of course an unhappy break up. After the two sides left, Markins also had some doubts about today's blackmail, "Alan, Whitehall, let us come over and see if we can have an agreement instead of messing things up. smashed."

"I understand this better than anyone else." Taking off the headband and tearing off the turban, Alan Wilson let out a long breath, "From the perspective of the UK, it's not that we have to be unreasonable, but the current general environment. Forcing us to show our strength even if we negotiate, otherwise the situation will develop in our unfavorable direction."

"If the United States is willing to forgive me, I am afraid that the Soviet Union will cause trouble." Markins said worriedly.

"That's really a courageous thing!" Alan Wilson chuckled, "There are no neighbors of the Soviet Union that are not immune to this behemoth, remember my words, there are no exceptions."

Going back 10,000 steps, if you really can't reach an agreement this time, you should really consider smashing the pot. Alan Wilson's bottom line is that the United Kingdom must not suffer by itself. If it becomes unpredictable, no one will think about it.

No country should accept the benefits that the UK has been operating for so long without taking any cost. This is why he did not hesitate to threaten Mosaddegh with a coup.

Once Iran is in chaos, it’s a big deal to support their supporters to go to war. Anyway, there have been civil wars in China, the civil war in Greece, and now the civil war in North Korea has not ended, and it has also attracted interference from other countries.

There have been civil wars in so many countries, and one Iran is nothing. As for how many people die, it is Iran's business, which was chosen by Mossadegh himself.

At the end of the meeting, Alan Wilson got into the telegraph room and explained his blackmail strategy this time.

Britain has been the world hegemon for hundreds of years, and even the interests of oil do not only exist in Iran. This time, because of the conflict between oil distribution and Iran, it has no impact on the UK, because the UK still operates oil fields in Iraq, Kuwait and even Saudi Arabia.

It can be said that the embargo on Iran will not backfire on the UK itself, but it is a big trouble for Iran. Alan Wilson told Mossadegh that if the UK wanted to block Iran for 10 years, it was definitely not a joke, at least the UK still has this capability.

The reason why London does not let go is entirely because it cannot set a precedent. Today, Iran pulls a nationalization campaign without paying the price, and tomorrow other countries will follow suit.

Soon, London received the details of the first negotiation with Mossadegh, and immediately started discussions.

Although Alan Wilson wanted to have a good talk, he first adopted a blackmail strategy, which became the focus of discussions in Whitehall. In the end Norman Brooke forwarded the telegram and his advice to Prime Minister Attlee.

In terms of public opinion, the United Kingdom is also showing solidarity with the negotiations in Basra, saying that Iran’s requirements are very harsh. Once London approves Iran’s actions, the confiscation of important British assets will lead to imitation in all parts of the world, and the entire United Kingdom will fall into crisis. .

The commissioner already in the Persian Gulf, Alan Wilson's old boss, Sir Barron, is running around, pressuring Iran at the diplomatic level, and the news is that confiscation is undoubtedly a very bad act, but about oil The distribution of income is not impossible to discuss.

"We are not unreasonable. If Iran is dissatisfied with the profit of oil distribution, it is not impossible to talk. After all, the times are progressing, and the United Kingdom is not unreasonable, but the act of confiscation reminds me of the Soviet Union after World War I. Action. We warn Tehran that confiscation is dangerous and deadly.”

Alan Wilson expressed his fierce opposition to the confiscation in his shouting to the Arabs.

But despite the indignation on the surface, Alan Wilson was thinking about another thing. He felt that the UK lacked an Al Jazeera TV station. It's really inconvenient to talk now. If there was an Al Jazeera TV station to help, things would be much simpler.

"Should we put Qatar or Bahrain?" Alan Wilson planned the position of this tongue, and Al Jazeera has a great influence on the Arab region in later generations.

The fundamental reason for such influence is money. Al Jazeera is headquartered in Qatar.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Saudi Arabia is already a carefree country lying on oil, but compared with Qatar, Saudi Arabia is nothing. In the eyes of Qataris, Saudis are poor.

Saudi Arabia has nothing to do with Qatar, and the reason for that is the same as the reason why Saudi Arabia is benefiting today. In countries such as Iraq, Syria and Egypt, the reason why Saudi Arabia came to the top is because of its wealth. Although Saudi Arabia cannot defeat these traditional military powers in the Middle East, there are other powers behind Saudi Arabia.

Although Saudi Arabia can't beat them, they can't beat the US either. The reason why Saudi Arabia has been unable to do anything to Qatar is similar. Although Qatar cannot beat Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia can also beat the countries that support Qatar.

Currently Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and Oman are all protectorates in the name of the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom still has troops stationed in the Persian Gulf, so this time the disagreement with Iran on oil profits has led to production cuts, and the increase in oil production in these countries has offset Iran’s production cuts.

On the contrary, the blocked raw materials in Iran have caused the Iranian economy to be in trouble now.

After shouting at Iran, Ellen Wilson accompanied Princess Badia again to visit religious leaders from all over the world. The degree of enthusiasm makes Princess Badia sigh, maybe the prime minister of the Kingdom of Iraq is nothing more than that.

"If the princess doesn't mind, you can make a photo and give it to me." Alan Wilson shook his head scarf, and said very well, "I can be a good friend of any monarchy, in fact, whether it is Sunnyvale, Egypt Even Libya, I am willing to serve their monarchs, there are not many monarchies in the world today, and they must be united with each other."

"I believe that all kingdoms like friends like Mr. Allen." Princess Badia snickered, "But if it's just a collection, it's not that I can't think of a way. But what does Mr. Allen get in exchange? Can we talk more about our current oil earnings?"

"Oh, dear princess, this request is really embarrassing." Alan Wilson squinted his eyes and said deeply, "I believe that there will be a more equitable distribution in the future, and even all the expenses except the patent can be left to Iraq. , But now is not the time, it is not the greed of Britain, we also need time to adjust. If Iran only talks about oil distribution, it is not impossible for the two sides to communicate, but if they want to confiscate it, there is no way.”

Adjustment of distribution and confiscation. This is the fundamental difference between the two countries. No one wants to be an internationalist. Internationalists go to the United States and the Soviet Union. Now Britain is no longer a world hegemon. I want to make Britain suffer in vain.

While Ellen Wilson and Princess Badia exchanged views, Sir Barron was also constantly visiting countries in the Persian Gulf to seek support, including but not limited to Yemen, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, these countries all have a common feature , is the British protectorate.

After wooing the protectorate, Sir Barron opened a visit to Saudi Arabia. What he said was nothing more than that Iran is a Persian. If Saudi Arabia sided with Iran very hastily, it may be backlashed in the future.

Saudi Arabia also has Shia residents, who make up one-fifth of the population and are concentrated in the coastal areas of the Persian Gulf.

To put it bluntly, Shiites dominate the oil-producing areas of Saudi Arabia. Even if Saudi Arabia maintains a good relationship with the United States, it should stand on the British side when it comes to oil distribution.

Not to mention that the former immediate boss had two brushes, when Sir Barron telegraphed Saudi Arabia's support. Alan Wilson had to sigh, that mentioning the Shiites really hit Saudi Arabia's soft underbelly.

The so-called pacifist Sunnis occupy an absolute advantage is just a falsehood, and the Shiite population in the Persian Gulf is not weak at all. Otherwise Saudi Arabia wouldn't be choking on the Shia arc.

With the understanding of Saudi Arabia, a heavyweight player, and the United Kingdom's firm support for Arab countries to fight against Israel, the fight against the Persian Gulf countries this time is considered a success.

The day before the second meeting, his wife, Pamela Mountbatten, sent a telegram from Paris. Mountbatten had arrived in Cyprus and officially took over the post of Commander-in-Chief of the Mediterranean Fleet. The aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth was also assigned to the Mediterranean Fleet.

"Although it may be a little embarrassing to say that~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I have to say that General Mountbatten took over the Mediterranean fleet, which made me sit up a lot without realizing it." He took a deep breath on the cigar and said to his colleagues on the left and right.

A few minutes later, Mossadegh entered the conference room, and the second negotiation began. Mosaddegh's anti-imperialist claims are only supported by the Iranians. Around the entire Persian Gulf, Britain has taken over the Arab countries. The Arab world is on the British side!

The public opinion brought by the major media thinks that the confiscation of Iran is understandable for the British to jump. Both Kuwait and Saudi Arabia and Iraq believe that confiscation is not in the spirit of the contract.

Although it is only the Big Three in name, it is still within the scope of the UK to target one Iran with all its strength. The Arab world has spoken in unison, and the pressure on Iran has also overwhelmed the Iranians.

Alan Wilson, who threatened a coup d'etat, did not change his original intention, and firmly stated that all the consequences of the confiscation had been understood by the surrounding oil-producing countries, "The Arabs are so happy that they increased production in exchange for more foreign exchange, which is all thanks to Iran."

Mossadegh was silent for a long time, and even after listening to what Alan Wilson and my father-in-law Mountbatten said, he said again, "Oil profit is half of Britain and Iran."

"I think this requirement is too much!" Alan Wilson tactically leaned back and commented in a solemn tone.
