Chapter 656 Iran’s Oil Issue

"There is no such thing. It is an obvious slander." Lord Dixon retorted loudly. "Sports associations are a group of noble people. They are all selfless and work hard to promote the development of sports."

"Oh, really?" Alan Wilson looked at the other person up and down, and his eyes stayed on the other person's bulging belly. He almost caught up with Garbo's pregnancy, and commented meaningfully, "I didn't look at it. Come up with this. I wonder if there is a big eating competition under the sports association? That kind of project really requires a lot of investment. "

He took out the results of the 1948 London Olympics in his hand and pushed it in front of the other party. Alan Wilson changed his sitting posture to a relaxed posture, opened his legs naturally and tapped his feet and asked, "Please explain, in the first post-war period, In an Olympic Games, London, the capital of the empire, was the host, and under the witness of millions of London citizens, three gold medals, fourteen silver medals, and six bronze medals ranked twelfth among the participating countries. Is this result worthy of success?"

Seeing that Dixon wanted to refute, Alan Wilson first added lightly, "Don't talk nonsense about friendship being first and competition being second. Look at the countries in front. Denmark, Finland, Turkey, and France are still ranked third. "This performance gives Whitehall every reason to doubt the reliability of sports associations."

"Alan, you are the deputy secretary-general of the Overseas Asset Management Commission and the commissioner of British Malaya. No matter which position you hold, it is now ultra vires." Seeing that Alan Wilson refused to give in, Lord Dixon changed his position. A set of rhetoric indicating that this overseas official has crossed the line and that the other party has no right to interfere with how local sports develop.

"It has to be said that this Olympics is related to the interests of the major colonies. In view of the failure of the London Olympics in the past, after communicating with the respected Cabinet Secretary, the roster for this Olympics needs to be changed. Based on the British Empire's Prepare for the Olympics as a whole and judge the results based on the final results."

Alan Wilson spoke eloquently, "This Olympics can be regarded as a channel to relieve stress in the major colonies. It also involves the promotion of colonial sports, and in the colonial development plan, each colony must build a giant stadium. So this is not a local thing.”

Alan Wilson talked for a long time about the development of colonial sports and the prosperity of the country through real estate. Finally, he added another bargaining chip, "The situation now is different from that in 1948. We all know that the Prime Minister is determined to make Britain Great again, sports are of great symbolic significance. The Olympics is a stage where the strength of the British Empire is shown. We cannot allow a grand expedition to the Olympics, only to comfort citizens by focusing on participation. Since it is said so If you pay attention, you must achieve good results. The same results as the London Olympics are absolutely not allowed, not to mention that they may be worse."

Moreover, Alan Wilson also directly admitted that Alan Wilson definitely had the right to speak on issues involving local and overseas civil servants. He had already revealed that he had the support of other colonial commissioners.

Currently, the two groups of imperial civil servants are different. The local departments strive for budgets, while the overseas civil servants form alliances and implement plans to inject blood into the mainland.

One is to spend money and the other is to make money.

If Sir Dixon has any doubts, he can hand over the 150 tons of gold that was delivered to the mainland from the British Gold Coast last year, that is, in 1951.

If he really wanted to compete for the right to represent the Olympics this time, Alan Wilson would definitely win, but he did not force him and was still just communicating with the other party.

"Alan, what if so many black athletes represent Britain?" Dixon found another reason, saying that it might make other countries look at Britain differently.

"It turns out that your honorable Lord is racist." Alan Wilson said with an expression of realization.

Lord Dixon categorically denied the label of racial discrimination. With a look of grievance on his face, he threatened to sue the other party for defamation.

"When it comes to black athletes, this is also a perfect opportunity. It seems useless to study the true public opinion of local citizens when looking at different ethnic groups overseas, but it is actually very important. After all, the British Empire is a global empire, and the citizens' Public opinion is also very important. Once we know what the citizens think, we will be more confident when formulating foreign policies, and it will be easier to win the support of local citizens."

If he wasn't already a senior civil servant, Alan Wilson, who had seen the European and American national teams in later generations, might have laughed out loud just by Lord Dixon's words.

He has experienced many battles, such as France, a permanent member of the African Council, and it is well known that the mother of the great Queen Elizabeth I was a black man. The shameless British actually tampered with history and allowed the truth to be hidden in the fog of history.

In fact, the largest foreign group in Western European countries is not black people or Peace Christians, but immigrants from Eastern Europe after the collapse of the Soviet Union. In absolute terms, Eastern European countries have the largest number of immigrants, but they are not so easy to identify.

As for the attitude of European and American countries, they are definitely not equal. I am submissive to black and green, but I attack Eastern Europeans who are also white.

Who allowed the leader, the United States, to practice political correctness, even European countries did not dare to disobey. The evil fire can only be unleashed on the Eastern Europeans, who are equally numerous in number.

Alan Wilson reasoned on the grounds of Make Britain Great Again and that overseas subjects are the current status quo in Britain, and then branded the sports association as racist. He also talked about the true reflection of public opinion, and finally frightened the other party.

Finally, Alan Wilson changed the topic, "Well, Lord Dixon, I heard that you have a good relationship with Lord Sheffield. I don't want to be too tough. Let's have a competition before the Olympics. If the local loses, we will give up." quota, eliminated athletes were replaced by colonial athletes.”

"Uh, okay!" At this point, Lord Dixon could only agree and approved the proposal for the Olympic trials, "Alan, why are you doing this?"

"Because the cost is low and the results are quick, it is better for black people to engage in sports than for them to engage in technology." Alan Wilson grinned, "I can confidently say that although the United Kingdom is a representative colonial empire, we are better than all other countries. Be reasonable. The oppression is minimal, and we know how to share power with the colonial elite. But colonization is the original sin. We must think about the future and think about a future where we are not hated. Sports is just one of them. One, the other aspects have nothing to do with sports, so I can’t tell you.”

"You are highly valued by Whitehall. You can say whatever you want." Lord Dixon responded absently. To be honest, he naturally lost undisputedly, but what really made him give in was that Alan Wilson was highly valued by Whitehall. , and was also responsible for the development of all overseas colonies.

Alan Wilson is right when he says that the local department strives for the budget, while the overseas colonies are currently responsible for making profits. The 150 tons of gold on the Gold Coast is just one example.

A person deeply trusted by Whitehall, the deputy secretary-general of the Overseas Asset Management Committee, threatened to use the sports association's budget. Once he made up his mind, Lord Dixon had few means of resistance.

The main problem is that the deputy secretary-general of the Overseas Assets Management Committee is Alan Wilson, and the secretary-general is Norman Brooke, which means that Alan Wilson is alone in this department and serves as deputy to the cabinet secretary.

Honorable Cabinet Secretary Norman Brooke, a well-known hobby is carpentry. This is Norman Brooke's biggest hobby in private time, and it has also led to the various committees directly established by him, and his deputies have great power.

It's not a secret that Alan Wilson is valued, but he doesn't know why Alan Wilson, who doesn't return to his hometown several times a year, gets such trust.

It's a pity that Lord Dixon didn't ask and Alan Wilson didn't tell the other party about the value of huanghuali in the eyes of people who like to do carpentry. This thing grows in Asia, and it happens that he, the Malayan Commissioner, can get it.

To use the slanderous word of smuggling on this matter is pure slander. He didn't even say that Mr. Huo's behavior was slander. How could he smuggle some wood to the mainland for the cabinet secretary's hobby? It’s simply the most ridiculous thing in the world...

"One more thing has been done. We still have a long way to go to help the country." Alan Wilson sighed as he walked out of the Sports Association building.

He has many things going on, and all the current threats to the overseas interests of the British Empire are related to him. This is not a self-promotion, but an obvious fact.

That's why he was able to hold a meeting of overseas commissioners in Kuala Lumpur. When he returned to London this time, he took the time to communicate with Norman Brooke about the major colonies and British areas of interest.

"Nigeria has calls for autonomy, and Iran has always been dissatisfied with the oil profit distribution plan." Alan Wilson held stacks of reports and shuttled between the diplomatic and colonial departments every day.

Listing a few places that are currently the loudest, in fact, Alan Wilson is most concerned about Egypt. According to history, Nasser will launch a coup this summer, and he decided to stop in the Middle East before returning to Kuala Lumpur.

"Dixon finally agreed to your proposal and made concessions?" Norman Brook flipped through several reports and asked in a curious tone about the communication situation with the sports association.

"Yes, Sir. Lord Dixon is a very good gentleman, and we communicated very happily. We are ready to conduct a selection competition in a fair and equitable way." That was all Alan Wilson said, and he looked straight at The report in the hands of the cabinet secretary, "Dear Sir, I feel that Iran's voice can no longer be ignored. If Aramco's half-share of oil could be tolerated before, after Pamela signed a profit-sharing contract with the Kingdom of Iraq, The dissatisfaction of the Iranians is obvious, and adjustments must be made based on the current situation."

"That's right, the problem still lies with your wife." Norman Brooke said with a smile, "Isn't that right?"
