Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Chapter 1914 Making a Compromise

The situation on the frontline was changing rapidly, and the British could not afford to delay; so after the meeting, the Iron Lady immediately summoned the Egyptian ambassador to the United Kingdom. Although the ambassador of the country will not lie to her, he still needs to understand what the Egyptians think. The words of the Minister of the Interior make sense, but deep down, he really doesn’t want to take advantage of the Egyptians in vain!

Returning Egyptian cultural relics requires a lot of pressure, and may even be considered a sign of cowardice; once the door is opened, other countries will follow suit; Britain will definitely not have an easy time.

The ancestors of the British Empire plundered too many cultural relics. Otherwise, how could the British Isles maintain its position as the top of the four major museums in the world with the historical heritage of the British Isles? Seeing the pressure from Egypt, they decided to plan the cultural relics; other countries must have ideas.

If every family returns or exchanges them, then even if there are more cultural relics, it won’t be enough.

There must be a limit to spending money, the Iron Lady does not want to bear the infamy!

The Egyptian ambassador to the UK had long been notified domestically, and Mubarak personally spoke with him on the phone. Although doing so could easily be monitored by the British, with the technical addition of the Black Cloud Group, it was still very reassuring.

Although I don't dare to completely believe Bao Zixuan, there is no other way now; there is already a conflict with Britain, and there is only one way to go to hell.

The President ordered strict inspections of merchant ships operating in the Suez Canal, and the Egyptian ambassador certainly knew about it; Keren was not in the country after all, so he didn’t know what was going on. But as a diplomat, he could only support it unconditionally.

I didn't expect the Iron Lady to be so anxious to see him. It seems that the president's prediction was correct; the British must be a little unable to hold on.

As Egypt's ambassador to the UK, I may not know much about the situation in my country; but having lived in the UK for a long time, I am not too familiar with this place. Being in a wartime state, the current life of the British people is far from happy.

All resources must be given priority to front-line soldiers. The country's basic living supplies must not be reduced to the minimum standard, but they are not far behind.

If there are problems with shipping at this time, it will be tantamount to pushing the UK to a dead end. Egypt's approach is very risky, but the probability of success is very high. However, the comprehensive national strength between the two countries is very different. If they take it easy, they will surely retaliate, and Egypt may not be able to bear it.

I am very conflicted in my heart. On the one hand, I hope that Britain will return cultural relics; on the other hand, I do not want to completely offend Britain.

The Egyptian ambassador was quickly relieved when he thought about his identity. No matter what, since the president has made up his mind, as a diplomat he must execute it unconditionally.

If he destroys domestic plans because of his own weakness, then he will be a sinner through the ages.

After tidying up his clothes, the Egyptian Ambassador to the UK arrived at No. 10 Downing Street!

The Iron Lady is not as arrogant as she showed before, and Britain simply cannot afford to hold her back.

Once the supply of front-line materials is insufficient, based on the current war situation analysis, the United Kingdom will inevitably lose control of the Falkland Islands. We can only give the Egyptians a little sweetness first, but there is no other way.

In this Falklands War, except for the United States, almost no other European country supported the British Empire. The Iron Lady also knows what is going on; as far as the European continent is concerned, the United Kingdom has always acted as a troublemaker, and European countries are eager for the British to be unlucky.

The French, in particular, hate the British very much. In the last war, the country defaulted on the delivery of aircraft and missiles to Argentina; and also announced the interference frequency of Exocet missiles.

This directly caused France to lose its international credibility, and all previously negotiated orders were cancelled. When buying French weapons, it is easy to lose track at critical moments; if the goods are not delivered, you may accidentally injure yourself in a war.

Weapons and equipment are not purchased just to look good; if they cannot be used in wartime, that country will not take advantage of them. Originally, many third world countries were the main customers of France's arms sales; now, things are better, and they are basically turning to the Soviet Union. It would be strange that the French are not angry.

Several major French arms manufacturers have united to put pressure on the government. If you lose your own interests in order to help the UK, you will not be able to gain public support, which means you will definitely be removed from power. Don't underestimate the strength of arms dealers, they can definitely do it!

Even the United States is the type that works hard but does not contribute much; Uncle Sam is thinking in his heart that Britain should focus on dealing with the Soviet Union, and cannot lose the big for the small.

Emotions are not their foundation, and they don’t feel bad if they lose them.

It's really hard for a woman to do this when she's exhausted every day.

The Egyptian ambassador did not expect that the Iron Lady would be so polite; it had never happened before! It seems that the so-called British Empire has really fallen! People are like this, if you are tough with them, they will become jealous. Once you become polite, it is easy for you to slap your nose and face!

As a veteran politician, the Iron Lady can be said to be content with this; but the current situation is so tense that she can no longer care about that much.

The Iron Lady smiled and said: "Your Excellency Ambassador, Egypt has issued a statement stating that it will strictly review merchant ships in the Suez Canal; I don't know what it means!"

You know what you are asking, but there are some things you cannot say clearly; it can be regarded as maintaining the last dignity of the British Empire.

Egyptian Ambassador: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, because cultural relics from the Egyptian Museum were stolen and found on a Panamanian merchant ship and a British merchant ship. The thieves were very cunning and did not put all the cultural relics together; some of them were not found. Therefore, The president had to order an inspection of commercial ships plying the Suez Canal."

It seems that the Egyptians are determined to cause trouble for the British Empire, and they just want to obtain the lost cultural relics!

Just give it to them, but it can't be given for free; it must be exchanged for something. Egypt is not rich, but fortunately it is rich in mineral resources.

Iron Lady: "The loss of cultural relics is indeed a big deal and must be recovered; this is Egypt's internal affairs, and outsiders have no right to interfere. However, it is not an option to always look for it this way. What is the current state of the British Empire? You must be very concerned about it. clear."

"There are some Egyptian cultural relics in the British Empire Museum; such as the pyramid spiers. If the conditions are right, Britain will make appropriate concessions."

Although the British Museum has many exhibition halls, the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities is the largest among them; there are more than 100,000 various ancient Egyptian cultural relics, representing the high civilization of ancient Egypt.

The British Museum’s “treasure”: the Rosetta Stone. It is one of the most famous cultural relics in Egypt. What is ridiculous is that the one on display in Egypt is actually a replica. The British one is the real one.

In addition, the largest Egyptian statue in the British Museum; the statue of Ramses II, is extraordinary in terms of artistic value and symbolic significance. You must know that Ramses II is a representative figure in Egypt. His reign was in 127 BC, which was the last powerful era in the history of ancient Egypt. The head is made from a single piece of granite and cleverly utilizes the changes in its texture and color. This can be understood even more clearly when viewed from behind.

There is also a portrait of Amenhotep III, wearing the crown of creation that symbolizes the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt; one arm of the statue is also displayed on the side.

The best works of art in Egypt are basically in the British Empire Museum; although it is a bit exaggerated, it is not far behind.

Although the first few cultural relics are important, the pyramid spire is more symbolic. If he can be welcomed back to Egypt, the president will instantly become a national hero; as one of the participants in the incident, his future achievements will not be that low.

There are still people in Britain who understand and know what Egypt wants. The price has been set out and they are sincere. Considering that Britain's national power is far stronger than that of Egypt, it does not dare to make excessive demands.

The Egyptian ambassador thought for a moment and said: "I don't know what Egypt will have to pay!"

Being able to answer like this shows that you have obtained absolute authorization from the country; this is indeed the purpose of the Egyptians!

The British Empire was in such decline that it was manipulated by its former colonies; now it doesn't think so much, everything must serve the war.

Iron Lady: "As for the navigation issue of the Suez Canal, we hope that a separate green channel can be opened for imperial merchant ships; of course, the British side can guarantee that there will never be any illegal behavior."

"In addition, Egypt needs to increase its oil and natural gas supply to the UK, and the price should be lower than the market price!"

Opening a separate green channel is not a big problem; it can supply oil and natural gas at lower than market prices; it will seriously damage Egypt's national interests.

Whether it is worth it to get the top of the pyramid; it has exceeded the authorization and can only be reported to the president. The Egyptian ambassador really didn't expect that the British would make such a big concession!

Egyptian Ambassador: "I understand what your Excellency the Prime Minister means, but this is beyond my scope of authority. I need to ask for instructions from home. I hope you can understand!"
