Chapter 674 Reconciliation Between Britain and Iran

While the external turmoil continued, Alan Wilson was also communicating with London, talking about the filing after the short-term settlement, and also seeking support from other countries.

The British Empire before World War II certainly had such strength, but it really doesn’t have it now. This filing is that if this negotiation is successful, after the short-term settlement plan is over, a comprehensive oil company will be established to tie up European countries. Anglo-Iranian Oil Company.

This company can include France, Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium, even Portugal and Spain, and even all European countries to jointly hold shares, of course, the United Kingdom will be the main one. Even if the UK finally wins this Iranian nationalization movement, it will be enough to make other countries realize the fragility of Middle East oil supplies.

Faced with this vulnerability, on the one hand, it is necessary to change the profit distribution, and on the other hand, it is necessary to strengthen its own side.

The UK can lead all European countries interested in ensuring oil security, establish an international consortium representing Europe, take the lead in establishing the National Iranian Oil Company, and operate this new oil company in the manner of Aramco.

National Iranian Oil Company nominally obtains the right to use all facilities, oil wells, and equipment, but the operating company has all exclusive rights to use it.

Let the Iranian government reach an agreement with international oil capital. The National Iranian Oil Company, as the owner, hires the international oil consortium composed of China, Britain, France and other European countries as contractors to control the production and sales of Iranian oil.

The international oil consortium signed an agreement with the Iranian government: the international oil consortium took over the oil exploration and production and marketing rights of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company and handed over half of the profits to Iran.

In this way, Britain can tie up all European countries and establish a petroleum system with Britain as the core. Once this system is established, it is only for Iran now, but can be expanded to all Middle East oil-producing countries in the future.

I dare not say that it will definitely be able to block the petrodollar that has not yet appeared, but through the bundling of oil interests, the UK will at least be in the position of the euro. In fact, it is much more confident than the euro. The euro in later generations occupies less of the world's settlement share than the pound in 1952.

In the telegram, Alan Wilson once again emphasized the importance of the Middle East. Whitehall responded in the affirmative and said that regarding the aviation transfer station plan in the Middle East, Alan Wilson could talk to the local sheikh. If he did not understand anything, he could directly ask the Palestinians. Lun.

For former boss Sir Barron, this period of time can be said to have broken his legs running fast for his former assistant.

When he was in New Delhi, he never imagined that one day he would be in a different position with Alan Wilson's character, running in front and behind for each other.

But fate is so wonderful. There is no doubt that since getting married, Alan Wilson's career has been on the fast track, and he has become more and more valued by Whitehall.

However, Alan Wilson still expressed humility in front of his former boss. As soon as the two British men in Arab robes met, they were shocked by each other's dress and couldn't help but laugh.

"How was the conversation with Mossadegh?" Sir Barron tossed his turban and asked about the progress of his former assistant.

"It's hard to say, I hope everything goes well." Alan Wilson shook his head slightly, cautiously but also expressed his hope that everything would go well, and then asked, "Sir Barron, how are you doing over there? Whitehall will let me know, but I don’t know where things are going. There’s a lot to ask about.”

"Actually, London's view is that

Consolidating our protectorates in the Persian Gulf into one country, that's my job in general. "Sir Barron shrugged and replied without concealment.

Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows, another merger? He deeply felt that there were not 500 countries in the world, and Britain had a great responsibility for its persistence in the merger.

From British India to British Malaya, the British Federation of Central Africa and the British Federation of East Africa. Britain has simply made a huge contribution to the unification of the world.

Even if it reaches this point, it is criticized for laying a thunder before leaving. Sometimes Alan Wilson feels that the accusations against Britain are very unjust.

Sir Barron revealed that he hopes that the nine protectorates of Bahrain, Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Dubai, Ras Al Khaimah, Ajman, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain will be merged into one United Monarchy. Just like the coexistence of many sultans in British Malaya.

Alan Wilson immediately understood, isn’t this the United Arab Emirates? It turns out that in the earliest version, Bahrain and Qatar were also included? This is surprising!

But if Qatar and Bahrain are among them, and if this plan succeeds in the end, Alan Wilson cannot imagine how wealthy this country will be in the future, almost taking up all the factors of resource countries that are just lying down to make money.

"Whitehall's aviation hub plan is a plan to maintain British influence with these protectorates as the core." Although Alan Wilson was dissatisfied with Britain's habitual mergers, this plan could be an exception.

Each of these British protectorates is not large in area. Even if they are all combined, the area is not larger than 100,000 square kilometers.

Compared with neighboring Iran and Saudi Arabia, it is a very small country, but it will definitely become the richest country in the Middle East in the future.

Alan Wilson even wanted to add Kuwait to the list, but he decided against it because of the feelings of the Kingdom of Iraq.

Soon he was uncharacteristically supportive of the merger plan and said he could talk about the air transfer station. The construction labor force is readily available, and industrial materials are provided by British Malaya. Doesn’t the labor force come from Pakistan?

"You are really a conscientious commissioner!" Sir Barron said with emotion, marveling at Alan Wilson's conscientiousness. Why you are valued by Whitehall can be seen from this incident.

"As long as the opportunity arises, if we don't do it, someone will naturally do it." Alan Wilson replied sincerely, "There is no shortage of people in the world who seize opportunities. It is better to leave it to people who are relatively reliable for Britain."

He remembers when South Korea started to get started in the 1960s. Because Japan was also at its peak, South Korea could only do some bloody and sweaty work. The Middle East was South Korea's main place of work.

At its peak, there were one million Korean workers working in the deserts of the Middle East. Those people were working hard in military-like camps in the deserts of the Middle East. People often say that the reason for the success of Korean companies is that Koreans are the only people in the world who can work for two consecutive years in a foreign desert, without alcohol, and with strict military discipline.

There are not no nations in this world that can endure hardship, and Alan Wilson does not want to wait for the Koreans to build the Middle East.

He had his own managed British Malaya for the job and did not need help from a country with American troops.

And from a long-term perspective, monopoly has always been the only choice to maximize profits. It is best to have as few competitors as possible. He even wants to press Japan, let alone another South Korea.

"It seems that we should speed up the construction of the transfer station. I think Dubai is a good place. It is right in the middle of Eurasia and is very suitable." Alan Wilson and Sir Barron discussed, "Our relationship with Pakistan is still good. It’s not bad, let’s talk to them and let them provide workers, and we will provide industrial support to build an air transfer station.”

In fact, many of these current British protectorates have not discovered oil and gas resources. Although countries in the world generally realize that the Persian Gulf is a gas station for the earth, their attention is currently focused on countries with large areas such as Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Iran. , pocket emirates like these go unnoticed.

Another factor is that these chiefs are generally British protectors, and the local British troops also play an obstructive role.

Alan Wilson and Sir Barron reached a consensus on the location of Dubai as an air transfer station, and jointly wrote a report to London, officially deciding on the location of the air transfer station. Sir Barron went directly to Doha to prepare and win over the support of these emirs and finalize the matter.

Soon Mossadegh appeared again, and the third round of negotiations began regarding the differences between Britain and Iran. Mossadegh put forward a new requirement that the accounts of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company must be transparent to Iran.

The British-controlled Anglo-Iranian Oil Company previously refused to allow others to audit its accounts. The Iranian government had no way of knowing whether the fees paid by the British-Iranian Oil Company met its commitments, and the British intransigence attitude also angered the Iranian people.

"No problem, this is a very reasonable request." Alan Wilson also hopes that this conflict will end as soon as possible. The accounting problem is already too small to be considered a minor issue.

In the third negotiation, both the UK and Iran showed sincerity, sharing one-third of oil profits plus raw material support from the Imperial Preferential System. At the same time, the UK also stated that it would ensure that the Iranian government would maintain transparency in its accounts.

Some good news has also spread to Iran, but not all Iranians know what the Imperial System of Preferences is. But someone who has been bribed by MI6 will come up with an explanation that ordinary Iranians can accept and even find exciting.

That is the system through which Britain's vast colonies help the British economy take off. Under this system, Britain can save production costs to the greatest extent and produce more products in less time than others.

Once the United Kingdom opens this preferential system to Iran, Iran can get the best products and spend the least money to do things just like the United Kingdom. This is something that no amount of money can exchange for.

Alan Wilson knew that with the current level of Iranian industry, joining would only get some raw material cost benefits. It is not enough to compete with the UK. Iran would gain, but the benefits would be even greater for Britain.

On June 26, Britain and Iran simultaneously announced that their differences over oil profits had been successfully resolved. Mossadegh said it was a great victory for Iran and that Iran's prosperity was coming.

"Another problem solved!" Alan Wilson looked at the signed joint statement and sighed as another issue was framed.
