British Civil Servant

Pamela Mountbatten knew that it would take time for her father to thread the needle, but with this attitude, she knew it in her heart. It was her husband's suggestion to discuss the situation in Algeria and South Vietnam together, and she began to make up for her knowledge of Algeria.

There is a saying in France that Algeria is a natural extension of the French mainland, but separated by a Mediterranean Sea. From this statement, we can see how important Algeria is to France.

Since Algeria is geographically close to France, France believes that Algeria is a natural extension of the French territory to the south. Other colonies are either far away, or are economically lagging behind and cannot have close economic and trade ties with France, so naturally they cannot get such special treatment as Algeria.

For a long time, the French military has occupied an important position in Algeria, and Napoleon III came to power with the support of the Algerian military. The French, with the support of the French government, set up property and business in Algeria, and reproduced the second and third generations. Such a large group of European immigrants was not seen in other French colonies.

The presence of these European immigrants and their descendants, believed to be only French born in Algeria, also contributed to the attitude of the French government and the French military towards Algeria.

Alan Wilson in Saigon also received the doubts of his wife and explained in the telegram, "With the current population of France, as long as the social fragmentation caused by large-scale wars is avoided, with the advantage of France's population, it is easy to annex Algeria. No. How much harder it is to leave Newfoundland than the United Kingdom, the key depends on what the French military thinks, the French troops evacuated from Southeast Asia will most likely be invested in Algeria immediately, and the shares in oil exploration should be sold to the French government, but they cannot be sold cheaply.”

"If France really wants to keep Algeria, it will be difficult to deal with in the future." Alan Wilson is quite entangled in the face of this problem. He has been thinking about this problem since the oil resources were discovered by his wife's company.

From the perspective of the United Kingdom, of course, I don't want the 800-year-old enemy to be too good. Algeria has more than two million square kilometers, plus the area of ​​mainland France, this country is no worse than India.

Although the United Kingdom has retained Newfoundland at present, I believe that no one will believe that with Newfoundland, the United Kingdom can maintain a balance with France with Algeria.

The United Kingdom hopes that France will be stronger and the United Kingdom will balance the United States and the Soviet Union, so that the vested interests of Britain and France can be protected. But the premise is that Britain should occupy the comparative advantage in this combination, rather than listen to France.

If France really swallows Algeria, London will be troubled, and it is estimated that the colonies will not be allowed to become independent. Even if it is to balance France, they can't lower their heads and become the follower of the United States.

He now has to admit that it seems that the familiar historical memory may become complicated in the future.

"If I can't keep Malaya, won't the UK have to bow to the French in the future?" Thinking that this future might appear, Alan Wilson was very angry.

Unlike her entangled husband in Saigon, Pamela Mountbatten's idea is much simpler, who doesn't like making money. Since her husband also said that Algeria might not be safe, it was all the more reason for her to pry the French.

At the very beginning, the French sent Georges Pidour to talk. From this point of view, it can be seen how much the Paris government attached great importance to the Algerian oil discovered by the United Kingdom. Algeria is French, which is what most French people know.

George Pidour once said in the face of American loans that every time we accept a loan, our independence decreases by one point.

It can be seen that the foreign minister, Georges Pidour, is actually similar to de Gaulle on many issues, and even more reckless than de Gaulle. He is also a political figure in France who firmly advocates maintaining the colonies.

Pamela Mountbatten has met George Pidour many times, and can feel the importance this person attaches to Algerian oil. This is the third time the two have met.

At the beginning, George Pidour sang the friendship between Britain and France, and also said that General Mountbatten was a figure he admired, and Pamela Mountbatten listened to it. Although her father Mountbatten was a high-ranking person, And there are many friends, but there are not many places that can be admired by public opinion.

"Miss Pamela, I am here with sincerity. In fact, although the oil was discovered by your company, it is a resource on French soil. Please forgive me for saying it bluntly. Of course, it belongs to France." George Pidour After expressing friendship, he reiterated the position of France, which has unquestionable sovereignty over everything in Algeria.

"Dear Foreign Minister, this kind of threatening remarks is not good for the traditional friendship between Britain and France. And I'm just an entrepreneur, and it's inappropriate to say this to me." Pamela Mountbatten then clichéd, "From a global perspective, At this time, Britain and France should be united. In fact, the United Kingdom did the same. In the situation in Southeast Asia, the United Kingdom has done everything it can do. My husband is the High Commissioner of the British Colony of Malaya. To this end, a large amount of military supplies have been provided to support France's military operations, and your remarks at this time are very chilling."

Pamela Mountbatten continued without waiting for George Pidour to answer, "And at this time, France still needs British help, doesn't it? For example, the French army is about to evacuate from Vietnam, and my father is the commander of the British Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet. You may think that he cannot reach the Indo-China Peninsula, but he used to be the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces in Southeast Asia, and he was on an equal footing with Stalin in the Soviet battlefield. There are still many subordinates of my father in Asia.”

"Even North Africa is the scope of the Mediterranean Fleet's activities, and he happens to be the commander of the Mediterranean Fleet at present. Perhaps the connection between France and French Africa needs the convenience of the Mediterranean Fleet."

"As for myself, I have a very good relationship with Bourbon, Napoleon, and a lot of families. I know, this is not the imperial era, and these connections may not be very helpful. But they are my partners, I think When doing business, I take good care of everyone, no matter how I say it, I should not have this kind of treatment now."

Pamela Mountbatten seldom speaks so fiercely, let alone put out her family background, but this time, he had just returned to her husband, but received the news that the French government wanted to interview, and returned to Europe from Asia. As a result, France It's disgusting that people talk about friendship, but they dig around for money.

George Pidour was also surprised. He underestimated this young woman. He listened to Pamela Mountbatten talking about family background and business from the international situation. He spoke well and logically. reason.

Involuntarily, the evaluation has also improved a lot. This is not a fake that relies on family smooth sailing.

Of course not, there are men far away in Saigon who have taught for nine years, a period of nine years of compulsory education, so it is time to go to school. If Alan Wilson is here, he would have to add, "Starting from the position of strength and the French Have a conversation."

"Miss Pamela, I just explained the importance of Algeria's oil resources to France. I'm not just talking about this from the perspective of France, you must know that France has a huge immigrant life in Algeria, and their lives It is also of great concern to Paris that the discovery of oil resources will help improve the local economy.”

George Pidour's attitude has softened, and in fact he is indeed the spokesman for these Algerian immigrants. Some successful people in the area have a pretty good relationship with him.

You must know that when Napoleon III ascended the throne, the attitude of the army stationed in Algeria played a big role.

At this time, George Pidour certainly does not expect to be an emperor like Napoleon III, but with such a huge power support, George Pidoul's political path will be greatly helped.

"I understand, so this time I'll come over in person." Pamela Mountbatten heard George Pidour find a step down, and instead of continuing to entangle the previous gunpowder-scented conversation, she began to explain her economic interests, "From the oil quality He said that the quality of the oil found so far is absolutely no less than that of Libya.”

The oil field discovered this time is located in Hassi Messaoud, northeastern Algeria. The oil quality crude oil currently explored has low sulfur content~www.wuxiaspot.com~ good quality, and can be transported to the port through oil pipelines. Not too high for the cost! In terms of quality, it can also reduce a lot of industrial costs.

From the point of view of value, it is particularly needed by France at present, as for what oil is the blood of modern industry. If France wants to suppress Germany and control a reliable oil production area, Pamela Mountbatten needless to say, George Pidour is very clear.

George Pidouer did know this. After the oil discovery, Paris's interest in withdrawing troops from Vietnam has not decreased, but has increased. The goal has shifted from Vietnam to fully safeguarding Algeria's rule.

"From my father's usual remarks, although it has nothing to do with me as a businessman, I am also willing to maintain unity with France. In fact, the asking price is not high. For the money of 30 Comet airliners, oil will only become more and more important in the future. I think In the future, every family will use a car as a means of transportation, and people will need to take passenger planes to go abroad, which will require a lot of oil.”

Pamela Mountbatten expressed optimism about the importance of oil to society, and then waited for George. Pidour's reply.

The order for 30 Comet airliners is less than 10 million US dollars. The price of each Comet airliner is 275,000 US dollars. Now the cost is a little higher, and it adds up to less than 10 million US dollars.

Even if France has been fighting after the war, it will not even be unable to get 10 million US dollars. Of course, George Pidouer still wants to win it, but it is doomed to be futile. Now France is looking to Britain, and in this respect, France needs more.
