British Civil Servant
Vol 2 Chapter 673: Hybrid settlement
Mossadegh's anger flashed across his face, and he heard Alan Wilson continue, "Don't mind your honorable Prime Minister, if it's about Mountbatten Oil, I can make the decision now. But it involves Anglo-Iranian Oil. Company, this is not my wife's property, and I cannot sell the interests of the empire in exchange for your personal thanks."
One code is one code. If this matter was a matter of private companies and the Iranian government, Alan Wilson would have surrendered with the French flag high. The biggest taboo of a private company is to confront a country.
Even if the opponent is the Banana Republic, it is impossible to be sure of everything, let alone Iran is much stronger than the Banana Republic.
But fortunately the UK was prepared, Alan Wilson snapped his fingers, and Markins took out a stack of documents knowingly. Among them are data on Iran's current raw material gap, assessed by MI6. Especially the civilian resources that are very important to Iran!
As in later generations, or worse, Iran's cities and vast rural areas are completely two worlds. This round of sanctions has already caused huge damage to Iran. Although Mosaddegh is supported by most Iranians, Iran has never reached the point where Britain cannot find a proxy.
There are differences between Iran and Arab countries. Arab monarchy families in the Middle East can be traced back hundreds of years. Even if they are threatened by revolution, the situation cannot be worse than Iran.
There is absolutely no comparison between the Pahlavi Dynasty in Iran and these countries, etc., and they are far worse in orthodoxy.
Morocco and Jordan also seem to be more secular and pro-Western. There are social problems in Iran, but they may not be without them, but they are as stable as a rock, and they can live longer without external forces.
The key is that Pahlavi's father, Reza Khan, came from a really poor background. Back then, Britain and Imperial Russia were drawing a line in Iran, and the south belonged to Britain and the north belonged to Imperial Russia. Reza Khan was a Cossack general organized locally by Imperial Russia.
At that time, it was just in time for the collapse of God Russia and the establishment of Soviet Russia. Such a gap period took control of the situation in Iran. It was not until 1925 that the Pahlavi Dynasty was established. Alan Wilson wondered if there was anyone younger than Iran in this world. monarchy.
But the shortcomings of the Pahlavi Dynasty can be seen at a glance. Reza Khan was born from a very low background. He was a military leader, and his biggest supporter was the Cossack regiment he commanded back then.
The Iranian dynasty is unstable, Mosaddegh must know this fact, when Mosaddegh and his party were looking at the documents.
Alan Wilson said, "Prime Minister Mosaddegh, I think half of the profit is embarrassing for Britain. I have an alternative here. You can try a new currency settlement system, so that on the surface Iran won't get half of the profit. If we reach a consensus on this, you can also give an explanation to the Iranian people, and we can also accept it, and the relationship between the United Kingdom and Iran can still develop steadily.”
"I don't know what Mr. Allen's suggestion is?" Mossadegh took off his glasses and rubbed the corners of his tired eyes. He was deeply shocked by the statistics of various industries he saw. The reason for his shock was that these data were real.
It is conceivable that Iran now has no secrets from the United Kingdom at all. The actual situation of the British on Iran is more accurate than Iran’s own statistics. Knowing so clearly can only show one problem. The United Kingdom threatened to withdraw from Iran before. , is not groundless.
The current domestic structure of Iran was decided by the Potsdam Conference, and the Soviet Union still has influence in northern Iran. The United Kingdom is in the south, and the United States is deeply ploughing around Tehran, and it is a proper third of the world.
The United Kingdom, the United States, and the Soviet Union are both in the political situation in Iran, and neither dares to do anything to each other. The increase in the secret front has not stopped for a moment.
Others don’t know about this situation, but Alan Wilson knows it best. He sold Iran himself and taught the Soviets how to put thousands of people in the consulate. The three countries have entangled interests in Iran, but they are afraid of each other and dare not do anything. He does it.
"I have a short-term plan, the UK can sign a five-year short-term settlement plan with Iran. And we can adjust the profit distribution of Anglo-Iran Oil Company to 33%. The remaining 17%, in sugar , iron ore, edible oil, and other commodities to supplement.”
Alan Wilson calmly explained that he has a grand blueprint in a certain sense. Since Iran really wants to develop, it needs the import of these commodities, and it does not have enough foreign exchange. Then join the British Empire System of Privileges!
A major pillar industry of British Malaya is sugar production, and Australia has the best iron ore in the world today, in the hands of his wife Pamela Mountbatten. As for other commodities, the British colonies are making great efforts. Development can also be divided into some Iranians.
This set of plans is a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, Iran’s share is increased to one-third, and on the other hand, Iran and Britain are given preferential treatment in the imperial preferential system to make up for Iran’s losses.
But on the bright side, the UK still took a big advantage, and it was considered that the British were one step down in this conflict. In fact, Iran's benefits are not small. Maybe more!
In fact, the quality of iron ore in Iran is not low. It is much better than the 30% quality iron ore in Britain and China, which is called rich ore. However, it must not have been discovered at this time. to a huge blow.
Iran's iron ore depends on imports, and Alan Wilson can open an opening for Australia to export iron ore to Iran.
With one-third of the profit distribution and the advantages of the imperial preferential system, I believe that the Iranians can be satisfied.
"This kind of cheating can be used when civil servants raise their wages." While telling the plan, Alan Wilson suddenly had such a flash in his mind. Brings the role to the Cabinet Secretary position.
In fact, Alan Wilson really almost couldn't help bringing up the idea of petro sterling, but he had already submitted the idea to Whitehall, but Whitehall had not moved. There must be a reason.
He believed that Whitehall must know the value of the petro sterling, but at this time he pretended not to be, there must be other considerations.
To a large extent, countries are competing for military power. In the Soviet Union, the tanks and armored vehicles calculated by 10,000 are always said to cost a lot of money. Whether it really cost a lot of money, Alan Wilson does not comment, he only knows that after the steel of these leaders is rusted, Russia will face endless humiliation from the United States.
With these steel torrents, it is possible to live a little better, without these, even life is almost gone.
Obviously, Whitehall did not dare to promote the petro sterling, for fear that the current British military might not be able to keep the profits of the petro sterling.
It feels like this is probably the reason. Naturally, Alan Wilson didn't mention the petrol sterling issue, or when the United States was confident enough to find the next opponent, the United Kingdom was considering backstabbing the enemy.
"Short-term plan? Five years?" Mossadegh said after a long silence, "Thirty-four percent, I believe that the UK will not struggle with this concession, and I still have a doubt, I don't know what to do in five years. manage?"
"Uh!" Alan Wilson didn't think about it at all, and sighed in his heart why Mosaddegh asked such a question, and caught him off guard for his plan based entirely on procrastination.
"If we have a second meeting at that time, and Iran takes back the share of Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, it can consider listing in London to raise funds. The United Kingdom can help Iran with its status in the financial industry."
Although he was not prepared for Mosaddegh's question, Alan Wilson still showed his confidence.
"Respected Prime Minister, in fact, even according to the previous treaty, in 1960, the treaty time will come. Why should Iran be in such a hurry?" Alan Wilson saw Mosaddegh hesitate and persuaded, "Iran will not give The time in the UK is adjusted, the UK is damaged, and Iran is the battlefield of the US and the Soviet Union. It is so difficult for you to drive out the UK. What bargaining chip will you use to get the US and the Soviet Union to leave?”
In 1900, British millionaire William Knox D'Arcy reached an oil trade agreement with the Shah of Iran, Muzaffard al-Din Shah. The agreement stipulated that D'Arcy had exclusive oil exploration and exploitation rights in Iran. , This agreement was signed for sixty years, and in 1960 Britain's exclusive oil exploration expired.
On the one hand, Alan Wilson reminded Mossadegh to abide by the treaty, and when the time comes, Britain will naturally abide by the treaty. On the other hand, a package plan has also been proposed, for example, the influence of the United Kingdom can be borrowed~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to allow the Commonwealth countries to import Iranian oil.
"Australia needs oil very much, and Iran needs iron ore very much. These are complementary. India is a huge market. The United Kingdom can come forward and negotiate with New Delhi to establish economic and trade relations between Iran and India." Alan Wilson said bitterly, "We have There are many areas that can be cooperated, not only one-third of the share, the expansion of Anglo-Iranian oil companies can completely make up for Iran’s apparent losses, not to mention that you have no losses at all.”
"We need to think about it carefully." Mosaddegh was moved, but he still didn't agree immediately.
"We have enough patience." Alan Wilson didn't push him, although he really wanted to go to Cyprus to meet with General Mountbatten immediately, talk about the Free Officers Organization, and then go to Paris to slap his stick in the face.
After the second round of negotiation, Alan Wilson contacted Sir Barron and decided to focus on Iran's breach of the contract. progress.
If Mossadegh shows sincerity, this disagreement on oil revenue can end peacefully.
Mosaddegh also used this time to calculate whether the British would be able to reach the 50% expected by Iran if Britain was willing to give Iran the benefits of the Imperial Preferential System. The constant fake news of the Basra meeting has made the people who eat melons feel ups and downs.
