British civil servant

When the shift came, Heidi Rama was already waiting in Somalia, and Ingrid Bergman worked hard to ensure the logistics.

"The situation in Congo may change, and you are preparing to leave immediately." After the test drive of the luxury car, Alan Wilson issued a travel warning to the female president.

Before leaving, Alan Wilson also did two things. He vented his dissatisfaction with the United States through a telegram. The telegram expressed his thoughts on overthrowing the Lumumba government, implying that he was planning. The destination of this telegram is In South Africa, the person who received the telegram was Donald McLean, one of the Cambridge Five.

At the same time, through the offshore center of British Newfoundland, it bought the pages of influential American newspapers, touting the United States' support for Lumumba's efforts to get rid of colonization.

Belgium's crimes in colonizing the Congo must be reported, such as cutting hands to develop Belgium, and Belgium's human zoo.

It's really cruel. The United Kingdom is far from being ranked among the colonial countries. Only a country like Belgium, a country with a small man who is getting rich, can be called a colonial benchmark.

Just two years ago, in [-], at the International Exposition in Brussels, Belgium, the last "human zoo" in the world was exhibited at this exposition, and the moment when tourists threw food at the "animal" in their eyes , allowing the photographer to record this scene, which caused a huge sensation at the time.

The first thousand and forty-two chapters are in charge of too many ministers

The reason for doing this is to give the United States a sense of moral superiority, thinking that it is right to force Belgium to give up suppressing Congo.

Before Lumumba revealed his true nature, that is, before he was not close to the West, he put the United States on the fire of morality.

It can't be that American public opinion has just enthusiastically celebrated Congo's independence, and Lumumba is a national hero, so they can come back and overthrow Lumumba?Even if you really do this, you have to turn the public opinion around first. Doesn't it take time?

Because Alan Wilson is going to British Somaliland, he can't keep an eye on the evolution of the situation in Congo from here. Naturally, he wants to muddy the water. When the water clears, he should come back, and it won't take too long to end the trusteeship.

Grace returned to Northern Rhodesia to wait. After all, it is a neighboring place, and he can also pay attention to the situation in Congo in Northern Rhodesia.

The two had agreed to keep in touch, and Alan Wilson took off directly on the Comet airliner to the Horn of Africa.

The Horn of Africa is sometimes called Northeast Africa because of its geographic location.Located in the northeast of Africa, the Horn of Africa is a peninsula in East Africa, on the south coast of the Gulf of Aden, extending hundreds of kilometers eastward into the Arabian Sea.

It is the easternmost region of the African continent, and Cape Hafon, the easternmost point of the African continent, is also located in this region.

Theoretically, it is a place that must be contested by military strategists. Why do you say theoretically, because Alan Wilson is not too cold about the term "place that military strategists must pass through".

In theory, all lands can be contested by military strategists, but in fact, many lands that military strategists must pass through are only called under the existing conditions.

For example, the Central Dynasty generally needs to use the Hexi Corridor to deploy troops to the Northwest, and the Hexi Corridor is a battleground for military strategists.

Gan Zhungeer in the Qing Dynasty did not go through the Hexi Corridor, but killed it from the Mongolian Plateau. The Hexi Corridor is not a place that military strategists must pass through.

If the Horn of Africa is very important to Britain, then the opposite side of the Red Sea should be equally important. Will Britain still occupy the Arabian Peninsula?The Arabian Peninsula is barren. In order to ensure basic living conditions, is it necessary to occupy the Mesopotamia?

If the nesting of dolls goes on like this, Britain may occupy the whole world in order to solve the problem of the land that military strategists must pass through.

British Somalia is only a small part of Somalia, the accurate name is British Somaliland.And Italian Somalia had been allowed to be independent by Britain a few years ago.

The independence of Somalia in history is that the United Kingdom allowed the trusteeship of British Somaliland and Italian Somalia to become independent in one month this year. As a result, the two colonies merged into a complete Somalia.

And Alan Wilson brought the biggest change to Whitehall, that is, it is better to divide the colonies than to merge them.

The partition of India and Pakistan proves that it is better for India to hostile to Pakistan than for the entire British India to bully neighboring countries independently. Cannibalism is a problem of India and Pakistan itself, and it does not affect the security of other countries.

Under such changes, the British Commonwealth of East Africa, which had never appeared, was not even mentioned, and the merged British Commonwealth of East Africa was also prevented from appearing. Naturally, the Republic of Somalia would not even think about merging.

In Hargeisa, the capital of British Somalia, High Commissioner Evans waited for the comet plane to land. Alan Wilson appeared before jogging forward, "Sir Wilson, welcome to Hargeisa."

"Of course, we want to warmly celebrate the independence of Somalia." Alan Wilson patted Evans on the shoulder with a smile on his face and said, "Don't worry about your future work. If Somaliland remains in the Commonwealth, you will still High Commissioner, if you leave the Commonwealth, you will have to change your title to ambassador, it's just a change of title, it won't make any difference."

"At the same time, you will continue to manage Somaliland's overseas assets, and we oppose any unsavory changes."

"I naturally hope to continue to benefit the society." Evans breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone became lighter.

"Of course, this is our common wish." As soon as he came up, he gave his subordinates a reassurance, and Alan Wilson went to the apartment that Evans arranged for himself. This happy expression of witnessing independence was not pretended, and Somaliland It is not a rich colony, and independence is independent, which is a good thing.

For example, Gold Coast is a colony whose flagship product is gold and diamonds. It can make the founding father who advocates independence die without knowing why, and Somaliland is obviously not on the list.

At any rate, it is 10,000+ square kilometers of land. It is impossible for Somaliland to have no resources at all. However, Evans' development of Somaliland is currently limited to the green revolution and the main tourist signs.

Among the British colonies, apart from the empty words that military strategists must pass through, Somaliland really has no particularly important value.

Holding it in hand for such a long time is only because of the need to distinguish it from the already independent Somalia, and to keep the two colonies from merging after independence.

Half an hour later, Evans left, and Ms. Heidi Rama, who rushed to Hargeisa to take over the logistics support, was already sitting in the man's arms, "Do you think of yourself as the emperor, the emperor is not as good as you Enjoy. In such a desolate place, you still need someone to come and accompany you."

"Accompanied by a lady like you, I won't do it if I am asked to be the emperor." Allen Wilson laughed loudly. His beautiful fantasies about the emperor disappeared without a trace after seeing the living schedule of the emperor in the Qing Dynasty. It is indeed the pinnacle of centralization. I don’t know if the emperors of earlier dynasties would look like human beings. Anyway, the emperors of the Qing Dynasty no longer look like human beings.

"So happy?" Heidi Rama was a little surprised. Isn't this man a staunch supporter of colonialism?

"Colonies with little resources should quickly become independent. If they don't become independent, they will depend on the United Kingdom." Alan Wilson can't let what happened to the United Kingdom in Suriname rely on the Netherlands.

"I thought you finally became a good person." Heidi Lama gave the man a blank look, "It turns out that Somaliland is worthless."

"There is some value, but it's not worth paying attention to." Alan Wilson is not too interested in the strategic position, otherwise Evans would not choose to develop agriculture, animal husbandry and tourism. The strategic position can be replaced by Djibouti, and Somaliland's independence can be used to block the United States. The human mouth couldn't be more suitable.

Just such a place, Duncan made a special trip, it can be seen that the minister is really idle and has nothing to do, and insists on going to Africa to feel his presence.

A day later, Duncan, the former Minister of Defense and now the Minister of Commonwealth Affairs, finally arrived in Hargeisa.Alan Wilson, like yesterday's Evans, went to the airport to greet him.

Although there is only one day and 24 hours, there are still some changes in the world. American public opinion is very enthusiastic about reports on Congo’s independence. At the same time, it also released a batch of photos of beheaded hands during the Belgian colonial period, as well as the Belgian World Expo two years ago. People publish photos of human zoos showing Congolese people as animals.

This shows that the United States firmly supports the independence of the Belgian Congo, which is very beneficial to the entire human race.

Such reports have aroused the sense of moral superiority in Americans, and the title of the beacon of humanity is about to be determined by the United States.

This is what Alan Wilson did through the medium of Newfoundland, and it works well, but not without side effects.

For example, since it is correct to support the independence of Congo, the United States should also stand on the weak side when Britain bullies Iran.

It is conceivable that with the blessing of this kind of public opinion, the United States may have more confidence to support Iran in forcing the United Kingdom to submit.

Things have two sides, and Alan Wilson can't do anything about it. In order to muddy the water, he has to bear the consequences.The UK's position may be completely opposite in different places, but as long as it is shameless enough, no one can take the UK.

Those who engage in politics should not be shamed, just like the Minister of Commonwealth Affairs who is getting off the passenger plane in front of him.

"Alan, Dickie is very happy to have such a son-in-law." Duncan greeted him very familiarly, although he did not know this young executive deputy minister.

"My talent cannot be compared with the marshal." Alan Wilson forced a smile, pretending to be humble in front of the minister.

He said in his heart that his father-in-law wished for you to die suddenly, and became the Minister of National Defense and caused a lot of trouble for the military.

It's all right now, and I went to the Commonwealth Office to find trouble with overseas commissioners. Are Churchill's relatives so confident?

Duncan didn't see that the pillar of the Whitehall, who was taught by many actresses, concealed his aversion to himself, and asked instead, "I heard that this year's Overseas Commissioner's Conference will be held soon? I just have time, so it should be a matter of course to participate." Bar?"

"Of course there is no problem, Honorable Minister! As long as the Minister of Foreign Affairs does not object, we are all open." Alan Wilson said mildly, and at the same time made a calculation. From the appearance of this minister, he should not participate in that event. meeting.

As soon as he arrived in Somaliland, he was about to interfere with the affairs of the overseas commissioner. Although Alan Wilson said nothing on the surface, all the scenes in his mind were the scene of the other party's head blooming.

In order to meet the honorable minister, Evans has prepared the convertible, and now waits for Duncan to receive a warm welcome from the colonists.

Thinking of the happy scene, Alan Wilson agreed to all of Duncan's proposals, and expressed very enthusiastically that the Overseas Commissioner's Meeting, with the minister's personal care, will definitely produce more results.

"Alan, you are very different from Dickie." Duncan said with great satisfaction, "Because of the disarmament, Dickie is very dissatisfied with me."

"My dear minister, disarmament is a good thing. We all understand that. The Marshal is a soldier. It is understandable not to want the British military to be weakened." Just kill the opponent, who would be dissatisfied with a corpse?

The first thousand and forty-three chapters are happy to blossom

This attitude made Duncan very satisfied. Among the Weng and his son-in-law, the younger one was obviously easier to deal with than the older one.

"Then let's have a good talk after the independence ceremony." Duncan laughed heartily, with a sense of humor, "To be honest, Somaliland won't become a threat to Britain after independence, right?"

"Historically speaking, there is no such possibility." Allen Wilson replied without hesitation, "The difference between ancient Greek civilization is that it created an axiom system that was completely useless in the agricultural era many years ago. Quite rare in other civilizations."

Alan Wilson recalled the history of China a little bit, it must be much better than Africa.

There are several eras in which Chinese historical mathematics has developed greatly. The Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods are very famous, not to mention. The other two eras are the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Song and Yuan Dynasties.There are Liu Hui and Zu Chongzhi in the former, and Qin Jiushao, Li Ye, Yang Hui and Zhu Shijie in the back who are the four great masters of the Song and Yuan Dynasties.

Among them, the appearance of Liu Hui is more meaningful than Zu Chongzhi. The reason is that the nine chapters on arithmetic recorded how Liu Hui solved the problem. Although Zu Chongzhi calculated pi, future generations cannot know how he calculated it. This is a pity. things.

As for the problem-solving formulas left by Qin Jiushao, Li Ye, Yang Hui, and Zhu Shijie, they are actually the precious treasures of mathematics in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, but it is a pity that they are already the pinnacle of China.

Compared with the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the monarchy was not so terrible. The Yuan Dynasty was very similar to the social environment of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. It is well known that the court of the Yuan Dynasty did not care about things. The only person who could see the court for a year was to collect taxes. What should Yuan Dynasty people do in normal times?

There were no imperial examinations in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the Yuan Dynasty was not interested in imperial examinations. There was no temptation to be an official. The literati in the two eras studied other things. As long as the authority of the new dynasty was established, the literati would plunge into the Confucian classics.

What is certain is that in the field of mathematics, the Ming and Qing dynasties did not regress by a single bit compared to the mathematical achievements of the Song and Yuan dynasties.

Alan Wilson believes that all major civilizations have their own treasures of civilization at the bottom of the box, but they must have failed to blossom and bear fruit due to various reasons, but this place in Africa?Excluding Egypt, it is not much stronger than Australia in the civilization map. Antibiotics came out 100 years earlier, and the African race can be replaced by Europe.

In Allenwell's ears, Duncan's words cannot be described as unfounded worry at all, it is simply nonsense.

"Executive Undersecretary, is he going to attend the meeting of overseas commissioners?" Evans' nose is not nose and face is not face, and he is also used to address the minister.

"It's nothing Evans, let's see if we can think of a way. Let's finish the independence ceremony first." Alan Wilson let his subordinates calm down, what is there in British Somalia?A piece of pasture with good conditions and wild animal resources, it’s okay to welcome some wealthy Europeans to hunt. If you are anxious, it’s far from Evans’ turn. “Make the itinerary and leave it to the minister.”

Compared with the much-anticipated independence of the Congo, the independence of British Somaliland has not attracted much attention. However, Alan Wilson believes that it will definitely occupy the headlines. Let Evans try his best to mobilize the local people to express their desire for independence. Come out, on this occasion of universal celebration, it should be lively and lively.

The residents of Hargeisa have been mobilized, and Duncan, the Minister of Commonwealth Affairs, is also negotiating with Somaliland's independent leaders at this time. question.

The selected Egal, Rathman and others made a guarantee to Duncan that Somaliland would stay in the Commonwealth after independence, and thanked Britain for its efforts to ensure Somaliland's independence.

These people are carefully selected politicians, supported by the United Kingdom. Somaliland has a small population, which is far away from Somalia in the south, and it has barely reached the threshold of one million people.

Relying on the real estate rejuvenation policy throughout Africa, the construction of the capital Hargeisa is also passable, and this time the negotiations are quite pleasant.Alan Wilson and Duncan also got along very well, and talked about many overseas commissioner meetings.

"I heard that your committee controls a lot of overseas assets?" Duncan asked with great interest.

"It's not a lot. There are indeed some assets in operation, but after the colonies become independent, they generally retain their shares and go to London for listing." Alan Wilson said with sincerity, "Not all companies can be listed, such as Somaliland where we are located. It is based on tourism and animal husbandry, which are based on adventure, and focus on exotic customs.”

In the past, the whole of Somalia was famous for producing spices, but now spices have long been worthless. For this purpose, a company was set up to go to London to harvest leeks?However, the coffee planting in cooperation with Somaliland will be discussed at that time, but I don’t know if it will develop. Anyway, the plan has been set. The failure of Somaliland to develop after independence has nothing to do with the United Kingdom.

In general, the situation in Somaliland is relatively stable, and of course there have been riots in previous years, but the riots ended as miraculously as they miraculously began.No one knows the real reason, which is also the norm of tribal politics.

Privileged primacy has been questioned, but it is no more than an excuse for this strife.The unequal exercise of power between the two parties makes the struggle all the more fake.They continued to govern together, but their positions were reversed: from then on, one faction prevailed.Certain family heads were also replaced by those who spoke, behaved, and behaved like the faction.The highest powers imposed by custom took turns, and ceremonies, duties, prohibitions, and penalties remained the same.

It's normal, it happens all the time in Africa, isn't everything all right again now?We are preparing for a better life after independence. For the people here, the better days are yet to come.

Stores are open as usual, and people are coming out of their homes, preparing to witness the arrival of Independence Day in person.Also witnessing is the Honorable Lord Duncan, Secretary of State for the Commonwealth, who will hand over power on behalf of the British Empire.

There are some Willys jeeps in Somaliland to adapt to the not-so-good local road conditions. This open-top jeep was selected and a model in good condition was handed over to Duncan as a car to host the independence ceremony. Everything is So natural.

The night before independence, the hardworking cattle galloped in the fertile farmland, just as people have fought against the sky and the ground for thousands of years, swinging like rain, just for a better tomorrow.

"It's up to me to celebrate independence?" Heidi Rama murmured, thanking the old scalper like a fertile soil for reclamation, the curly hair on her head became wet, complaining about the poor conditions in Somaliland, and she came by herself How difficult it is to wait.

This is a typical PUA. Allen Wilson could see Heidi Lamarr's sinister intentions at a glance. It seems that the firepower just now is not enough, and more efforts are needed.

"In fact, as long as we like each other, the external conditions are not important." Alan Wilson expressed his heart, like a little boy who put down his dignity, begging for mercy in front of a rich woman.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Duncan dressed up and rode in a Willys jeep. Under the bright sky, he went to the square in the city center to carry out the handover of power. There were some officers of the British garrison on the road to maintain order, and everything was normal.

On the top of a nearby four-story building, two white-faced men were holding an Enfield sniper rifle and were waiting for their prey to appear. They were definitely no strangers to Enfield sniper rifles.

During World War II, the UK had Churchill, who used too much force, as the prime minister, and he absolutely did his best to assist the anti-German countries, which can be called generous.

Many of the weapons used by the British army also entered the hands of the Yugoslav Homeland Army. Two veterans who looked only in their 40s were very familiar with this modified Enfield sniper rifle. In order to ensure success, the two came together.

Several Willys jeeps appeared in the scope. The convertible jeep with a good view allowed the two to recognize Duncan's figure at a glance. Holding their breath, they lifted the Enfield sniper rifle steadily with both hands. The two coincidentally Counting down softly, the scope adjusted with Duncan's figure.

"Bang bang..." After the gunshots rang out almost at the same time, the two of them didn't even look at it because they were very busy, so they immediately got up and ran all the way, leaving the British military uniforms where they were.

On the other side, Duncan fell down on the back seat of the jeep, and a mixture of red and white liquid was left from the blood hole on his face.Nearby were soldiers and people in a panic.

"After independence, the two countries will maintain friendly relations. In the Commonwealth, the United Kingdom can still take care of Somaliland." Alan Wilson promised with a smile to the local elites such as Egal and Rathman.

"Executive Deputy Chief, the minister has been assassinated." Evans suddenly appeared and came in angrily and yelled.

"What?" Alan Wilson was taken aback, and then quickly ordered, "Catch the assassin, I must bury him alive. How is the minister now, are you all right?"

"I heard that he was shot in the head." Evans didn't know the specific situation at first glance, and he didn't dare to go out now that the situation was so chaotic. What if the assassin had other targets?

"Gentlemen, I feel very sorry for such an unexpected incident. But this place must be blocked immediately." Alan Wilson said with a stern face, and his tone was beyond doubt.

A British minister was assassinated locally. This was a provocation to the United Kingdom. Before the matter was investigated clearly, the independence ceremony had to be postponed. In his anger, Alan Wilson's tone was not so polite.

At this time, Egal and Lasman did not dare to neglect, they could only hold back their anger and put on a smiling face, and they must cooperate.

The streets of Hargeisa were no longer festive, and soldiers were everywhere. As for the blood-stained jeeps and the corpses of ministers, Alan Wilson asked Evans to take care of them himself after logical thinking, and he wanted to send a telegram to London.

Chapter 44 must be strictly investigated

The colonial garrison, which had not been seen for a long time, appeared on the streets of Hargeisa because of Duncan Tuyile, allowing local residents to experience what it is like to be in a world of ice and fire. Martial law also brought chaos, and criminals took the opportunity to come out do evil.

During the chaos, there was a conflict in the city, many people joined in, and the people were happy when the fight was over.There is no real reason for this fight.But many relatives and friends were deeply affected by the disaster.

The chaos was soon limited to repairing a few houses that had been destroyed by the fire, replacing broken glass, and moving the garbage that had piled up in the city's central square to the swamp so that it would disappear more quickly.

Merchants are making up for lost time after keeping their shops closed for hours in fear of looting.They opened their doors early the next day and raised prices.

The supply resumed, and in fact, it was never really interrupted.Nothing can change.Nothing has changed.

Believe that after a period of time, nothing can remind people of what they have experienced.They kept silent, hoping to forget it.Based on past experience, they know that all stability is false.
