Dear all:
Help me, please, about the words in bold in the following passage. It is from Persian Petroleum, by Davoudi, p. 145:
That Anglo-Persian would become one of the Admiralty’s suppliers, even a preferred supplier, may have logically transpired. However, its selection above all other existing interests to benefit from substantial public financing under a Liberal government was far from being a given and fundamentally counterintuitive. It was, after all, a failing company outside the formal boundaries of the British Empire appealing to a government that had pledged reduced military spending and which had plenty of other options.
Thanks a million.
