617 Key Figures

While Li Xiaofeng was actively thinking about how to make trouble in Egypt, the Americans had already launched an operation, because the British were very uneasy on the issue of Japanese reparations, and the Americans were naturally very unhappy. Pen Fun Cabinet www.biquge.info What's more, the Middle East issue involves the important interests of the United States, not to mention the above excuse, even if it does not, the Americans will come up with an excuse to intervene.

Therefore, the Americans have been paying close attention to the situation of the Free Officers Organization, and they have greatly appreciated the anti-British stance of several of its cores, and have also established ties with this organization through some special channels.

At this time, a special report on Farouk I caused a sensation throughout Europe, which not only described the situation of Farouk I's recovery of the money, but also shook out most of the previous bad things. To put it mildly, those who read this report probably don't have a good sense of His Majesty the King of Egypt.

And this is just for ordinary people, for those politicians and diplomats who are mixed in politics, this report is actually a signal. There are articles to do!

The first to react were the British politicians, who had little to do with how erosive Farouk I's private life was, and their eyes were fixed on kickbacks. Although it was no secret that kickbacks were given to intermediaries in the past, as the system construction of various countries became more and more successful, this kind of business method became more and more unpublic, and to put it bluntly, it was a political scandal. Naturally, parliamentarians should ask whether there are similar kickbacks in the arms trade or other trade between Britain and Egypt, and whether these kickbacks are also related to corruption.

Anyway, British politics suddenly opened the pot, and backbenchers continued to question the cabinet, demanding that the cabinet disclose the relevant accounts for review. Good guy, Attlee was already in a hurry, and now this incident has come out again, and he is even more caught off guard. At first, he tried to deny it, believing that the report was completely false and a vicious attack on the government by villains with ulterior motives.

The problem is, what is true is true, and what is fake is false. The backbenchers rushed to scrutinize all the contracts for the British arms deal with Egypt, and soon many of the items were turned out to be false, in order to cover up the kickbacks given to Farouk I. Anyway, this contract is full of mistakes and omissions, and it is difficult to justify itself. Attlee still vehemently denies all of this, but in fact it is not.

With a bang, the inside story of the arms deal between Britain and Egypt was revealed. As more and more inside stories were revealed, the image of His Majesty Farouk I became worse, not to mention the Egyptians, even the British thought it was too strange.

Needless to say, when this storm reached Egypt, Farouk I's personal reign suddenly fell to its lowest point, and the subjects generally thought that this bastard was a brute, why did he say that? Because the Jews were the most hateful enemies to the Arabs at that time, these thieves stole the holy city of Jerusalem and left the ****** brothers in Palestine homeless, which is a common hatred, and any real ****** should fight the Jews to the end.

But what was their king, Farouk I, doing? He was so arrogant and lascivious that he even extended his claws to the army that was fighting against the Jews, seeking personal wealth at the expense of the army. It would be nice to say that the first Middle East war had been won, but Egypt not only failed, but it was also an unprecedented fiasco. Someone must be responsible for such a failure, and a scapegoat will come out to take the blame. Farouk I had also thrown out a few lambs before, thinking that this was the end of the matter. Who would have thought that as soon as the kickback scandal was revealed, the people were thinking: "It turns out that it is not that our soldiers are too incompetent, but that our king is dragging his feet, and it is his deliberate accumulation of wealth that causes our soldiers to have to fight the Jews with a pile of garbage, so how can they be undefeated?" ”

Anyway, no matter how Farouk I explained, it was useless, and the masses of the people automatically made up such a conclusion, and he was really at a loss for words. In this way, Muhammad. The last vestiges of the Ali dynasty were squandered. For the Egyptian people, opposing Farouk I was politically correct and a priority.

This storm is so strong that even Nasser and Sadat feel it deeply, why do you say that? This was because the Free Officers organization organized by the two of them had been engaged in anti-British propaganda activities, but the response in the army was not so enthusiastic. Most of the officers were on the sidelines and did not make up their minds to move closer to the Free Officers' Organization. After the storm began, more and more officers began to move closer to the Free Officers' Organization, and the previously concealed anti-British behavior began to become public. Not only did the officers begin to distance themselves from Farouk I, but even the government officials began to distance themselves from their king.

This is not good news for Britain, after World War II, with the rise of national liberation movements, the world's colonies are ready to move, once Egypt is off to a bad start, it is likely to cause a chain reaction, and then the British Empire will really collapse!

The British were quite anxious, and they began to think of a way to solve this problem, but the solution that the British came up with was not so reliable. Why? Because the British have lived in the glory of the sun never setting for so long that they can't recognize the reality in front of them at all, thinking that they are still the empire on which the sun never sets, and they can eliminate the influence as they like.

Therefore, the first thing the Labour Cabinet did was to deny all the accusations to the outside world, and to say over and over again how innocent he was, that the so-called accusations were all fabricated rumors and slander, and to vowed to investigate and clear his name.

However, as mentioned earlier, this set is not working now, and the Conservative Party has been unconvinced since its last election defeat, just waiting to hold back and enlarge the move to give the Labour Party a little color, how could it miss this opportunity this time?

So the Labour Party's fire-fighting campaign not only did not work, but the fire became more and more intense, big enough to burn the Labour Party to ashes! And as more and more details are revealed, even ordinary people in Britain do not believe that the government is innocent. In any case, the opposition is getting louder and more violent. As a result, Attlee couldn't hold it anymore, and he knew that if he continued to resist, the consequences would be unimaginable. But what made him depressed was that the previous strategy of denial blocked his retreat, and if he wanted to admit his mistake, he would have to sacrifice several cabinet ministers, which Attlee could not do.

The reason is also very simple, the support rate of the Labor Party is constantly declining, and the cabinet ministers are gradually different, and at this time, they have to sacrifice a few ministers, and it is likely that they will directly make him the prime minister, and it is he who will step down!

Anyway, Attlee didn't dare to bet on the discipline of those ministers, and there was no discipline in the mixed political arena, so it was better to believe in them than to believe in ****. In other words, the path of letting the scapegoat take the blame is not going to work, and in Attlee's view, there is only one way to go, that is, to solve the problem at the root, and it is the Egyptians who stab Louzi, so let the Egyptians wipe this ass.

How do you wipe your butt? As long as the initiator declares that his story is false and apocryphal, then all the problems will be solved? Even the Egyptians say it's a story, what are you damned Brits shouting about?

Attlee thought it was easier to do this, Farouk I was simply a puppet of the British Empire, let him go east he dared to go west? Besides, this matter also made Farouk I very embarrassed, and he also wanted to cut the initiator into eight pieces. So Attlee naturally gave Farouk I an order, find out the guy who made up the story, ask him to admit his mistake and apologize, and end this!

I have to say that Attlee's political sensitivity is really not enough, and the matter is no longer something that can be solved by covering the lid at this point. Those jackals, tigers and leopards who openly and secretly beat the British will not allow Britain to pass the customs easily in Egypt, not to mention that although Najib is a little politically naΓ―ve, his position is very firm, and it is a dream for him to cooperate with the British.

In fact, Attlee's strategy was in trouble from the beginning, trying to find out that Najib had to pass the New World first, and the question was whether the New World would betray Najib? It's impossible to think about it, and journalists are no less protective of whistleblowers than police officers are protecting undercover agents, and it is difficult to get Najib's name from them.

And what is even more embarrassing for the British and Egyptians is that they have not yet been able to use strong means, first of all, the New World is a German newspaper, and the Germans can completely avoid Britain and Egypt. Secondly, the "New World" reported that this scandal has attracted the attention of the whole world, you British people come to the door at this time to put pressure, and people add fuel to your fire, do you want to mix the British Empire and the Labour Party?

For a while, the British were stumped, and they have to say that the ability of the one who succeeded Learwin as the head of MI5 was a lot worse, and because of the existence of the Cambridge Five, the British intelligence community was simply unilateral and transparent to the Soviet Union, so at this time, MI6 was dry and couldn't do anything.

If this rhythm continues, Britain will definitely kneel, and Attlee will have to apologize to the whole country and ask for forgiveness. But for Li Xiaofeng, this result is not good enough, and he likes the silly Attlee, and it is better to let this fool continue to be prime minister than to change the British to a conservative old fox, right?

Therefore, under the order of Li Xiaofeng, the "New World" leaked some clues to MI6 through secret channels, although these clues did not identify Najib, but with the ability of the British, it was only a matter of time before Najib was found.

Yevgeny, who had temporarily returned to Moscow to report on his duties, was a little puzzled by this, and he did not understand the benefits of doing so. In this regard, Li Xiaofeng explained with a smile: "Is it really no good? Let me ask you, if we don't reveal Najib's identity, what will happen to this? ”

Yevgeny felt that if the hype was right, Farouk I's popularity would be ruined, and Labour's approval rating would fall to freezing point, and Attlee would have to make a national address to apologize.

"Isn't this a bad result?"

Li Xiaofeng asked rhetorically: "Where is this result good?" However, he knew that Yevgeny's current level was not enough to give an answer, so he slowly explained: "What good is this for the Soviet Union?" And Farouk I's prestige was not good in the first place, so what if it was a little lower? As for Attlee's apology, or even Labour's early resignation, it's not a good thing, and it's really stupid to get Labour out of power now. What's more, this matter will lose the ability to further ferment, everything will be settled, and there will be no aftertaste at all, which is equivalent to losing all its value. ”

After a pause, Li Xiaofeng continued: "And leaking Najib to the British, there will be a good show to watch next, with the temper of the British, can you give Najib good fruit to eat?" I'm afraid that this outspoken hero will soon become a prisoner, and then ......"

In fact, there is no need for Li Xiaofeng to continue, Yevgeny also probably knows what will go next, Najib will not give in, Britain and Egypt will be annoyed and angry, and then there will be a personal report meeting of the lone hero that people all over the world like to see. At that time, the British and Farouk I in Egypt will become a wrath of the heavens, and only with the support of external forces, coupled with Najib's raising of arms, the rule of Farouk I will inevitably fall, and the British will be finished.

While the Soviet Union was unlikely to gain substantial benefits from Egypt because of its close ties to Israel, the defeat of the British meant that the Middle East order would be completely rewritten, a good opportunity to redraw spheres of influence, and a great deal to be made. As long as the Soviet Union intervened properly, it would certainly be able to exchange considerable interests in the Middle East. This was a real benefit for the Soviet Union.

Yevgeny was also very impressed, he could only see these two steps in front of him, while his uncle could see at least three or four steps, and this difference in political vision was a qualitative change. It fully shows that he still needs to learn a lot and accumulate more experience.

However, Li Xiaofeng did not just want to show off Yevgeny when he summoned him, nor did he just want to educate his nephew, he knew that the future of Egypt was changeable and had to be arranged in advance, and now it seems that his nephew is a key figure.

"How's your relationship with the Free Officers Order? Did you get close to Nasser and Sadat? Li Xiaofeng asked.

Yevgeny is rather strange about Li Xiaofeng's question, because now Najib is the more important person in the eyes of the world, what the hell is Nasser and Sadat? (To be continued.) )
