British civil servant

The structure of the Congo itself is divided into three parts, namely the president and the prime minister. With the strong intervention of the Soviet Union, the Congolese version of the dispute between the government and the court did not appear as it did in history.

In the western part of the Congo, with Kinshasa, the capital of the Congo, as the core, there are actually a relatively large number of supporters of President Joseph Kasafbu. As for the northeastern part of the Congo, it is the stronghold of Lumumba's supporters.

As soon as the Soviets arrived, Joseph Kasafbu, who would have made gestures with Lumumba in history, died down.There is no original momentum at all, and it simply proves the weakness of the petty bourgeoisie by itself.

Obviously he is a president who personally frees the world, but now he has become a president who wants to take the middle line.

Alan Wilson believed that in a few months no one would be more pro-Soviet than Joseph Kasafbu.

Joseph Kasafbu, who showed a flexible moral bottom line, stopped making trouble. Now the central government of the Congo is united, and the situation of dividing the country into three parts has become a situation of ruling by drawing a river. Moise is entrenched in Katanga Province. · Kabenda Chongbo, at best, a state of Chen in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Grace nodded, he felt the sincerity of Alan Wilson, "When the time comes, we will definitely do this."

"Oh, then sign the secret agreement." Alan Wilson directly took out the prepared secret agreement, "There should be a result regarding the conversion of the Northern Rhodesian Dominion into a royal territory. Wait until you get what you want The required land is being announced, but the signing must be done now.”

This matter can't be delayed any longer, and if these Slavs are really brought up, maybe they don't think so.

Alan Wilson has suffered a lot. The dragoon sisters miss their motherland, and directly abolished West Berlin, a stronghold inserted into Eastern Europe. Now it has become a pure military stronghold, with less than [-] garrisons living in several million cities. The urban area of ​​West Berlin that can be lived is simply living in a ghost town.

Therefore, the matter of the royal family's territory can be announced later, but the implementation must be implemented now, so as to avoid long nights and dreams.After this matter is done, Alan Wilson's trip to Africa will be considered a complete success.

Northern Rhodesia, which has robbed part of Malawi's land, already has an area of ​​80 square kilometers. If it cuts Katanga in the Congo, even if it does not have 100 million square kilometers, it will be almost the same.

It would be very appropriate to settle the matter at a time when people like Grace are particularly in need of England.

It is not to mention the practice of magic. Although this treaty has similarities with Brezhnev's theory of limited sovereignty, Britain, as the leader of a modern colonial country, does not need to learn from the practices of other countries. experience of.

The treaty expressly stipulates that Northern Rhodesia cannot be independent and follow the example of Newfoundland for self-government.

The British garrison in Northern Rhodesia will be retained, and it will work with the existing armed forces in Northern Rhodesia to maintain order here.As for the diplomatic level, North Rhodesia's diplomacy is under the guidance of the United Kingdom.

This is the experience learned from the original relationship between the United Kingdom and Sikkim, Bhutan, and this trick has also been learned by India.However, Alan Wilson planted mines before leaving, and Bhutan and Sikkim do not have to worry about being annexed, but the idea of ​​succumbing to India in some matters is still inevitable.

Since Northern Rhodesia is not independent, it is not considered an independent country.It is very normal that diplomacy is always bound by the United Kingdom.

As a royal territory, it cannot choose which country to establish diplomatic relations with; on the contrary, if other countries want to communicate with Northern Rhodesia, they need the consent of the United Kingdom.

The role of the High Commissioner for Northern Rhodesia was retained to monitor the rule of law in Northern Rhodesia and monitor widespread human rights violations.

The armed forces of Northern Rhodesia are armed with British equipment, and all training is copied from the British army.Since it is not independent, there is no need to print new currency, although Britain has this ability.

The official currency of Northern Rhodesia is still the pound sterling, which can serve as the home of the African pound zone in the future.Alan Wilson thinks this condition is quite good, and Grace and the others are considered to have earned it.

Once something happens in Africa that goes against the interests of the United Kingdom, Northern Rhodesia is obliged to cooperate with the British army.

"That's all for the time being. As for the internal management of Northern Rhodesia, London has no reason and no power to interfere." Alan Wilson said with regret, "After the announcement of the secret agreement, the High Commissioner only has the responsibility to supervise and maintain the local and The special relationship of the royal family territory, is this enough freedom?"

After signing, Alan Wilson and Grace exchanged the text of the treaty. He has paid too much for Britain.

So sometimes it's too much to get some treatment as a court consort?He didn't think it was too much. Who won the Windsor Castle Hotel where he stayed?Princess Margaret's hotel chain has sprung up like bamboo shoots after the spring rain, so he doesn't have any credit?

Alan Wilson, who holds a secret contract, has the universe in mind, what is Churchill, and what is Aiden?

McCarthy had left a few days ago, and now Alan Wilson could return to London with confidence.

Heidi Rama was very enthusiastic. She knew that the two of them were going to part soon, so she suddenly became more active.

"When I arrive in London, I will see you from time to time." With her arms around the man's neck, Heidi Lamar rubbed her ears.

In the past few years, it seems that the desires of several women have reached a new level. When Alan Wilson wants to return to the ordeal that he will face in London, it turns out that he has a way. For example, having a child can relieve him a lot of pressure.

But now?It seems that except for Hepburn and his sister-in-law, none of them are of childbearing age.

"Although life is difficult, I have always overcome difficulties and never turned back." Alan Wilson took a strong breath, sent the rocket into deep space orbit, and vowed to make the manned spaceflight a complete success.

After a short trip to Africa, Alan Wilson returned to London with the loyalty of Northern Rhodesia, and London began to formally prepare for the six-party talks in Basra, focusing on the Iranian issue, which could be delayed for another year and a half ,very nice.

Chapter 54 Prophet Wilson

Now there are two things to do, hand over the North Rhodesian secret treaty to Whitehall, and let Norman Brooke see how it goes.The other is to let the military formulate a plan to seize the Lubumbashi area.

In fact, Norman Brooke is not yet 60 years old, but he has been obviously lacking in energy recently. In the final analysis, the leader of the British civil servants only has the same hobbies as Emperor Tianqi, but he is in line with Yongzheng in his work.He even looks a little older than his predecessor, Edward Bridges.

"Very good. With North Rhodesia as the core, it is very thoughtful to maintain British influence in Africa." Norman Brooke was very satisfied. "The things in Africa have come to an end. Tanganyika is left in East Africa. The place that originally belonged to the German colony, the trusteeship time is coming soon.”

"Speaking of which, if all goes well, Malawi should try to merge with Tanganyika."

Alan Wilson said directly when he heard it, "Now part of Malawi's land is under the control of Northern Rhodesia. The problem is that the population density around Lake Malawi is still high. Once such a small colony becomes independent, the population will The pressure will follow. There will definitely be friction with Northern Rhodesia. To be honest, the main residents of Northern Rhodesia are Slavs, but the blacks don’t see it that way. They don’t know the difference between us and these Slavs. The concept of being white."

"If such a friction occurs, the UK will be in an awkward situation and may also be criticized."

"If Malawi and Tanganyika are merged and then allowed to be independent, this contradiction will be internalized. It can solve the hidden danger for Northern Rhodesia."

Alan Wilson expounded his idea of ​​changing the colony. Because of his own reasons, the island of Sunnibal was blocked at the gate of Tanganyika. Tanganyika should not even think about annexing it. The first choice for shore balance.

Once Tanganyika ignores the interests of the United Kingdom in the future, Sunnibal's position can completely block Tanganyika and force it to submit.What the hell is the East African Liberation Army? It's a group of black people.

But he is still willing to leave some benefits for Tanganyika. This is Malawi, which is between Northern Rhodesia and Tanganyika. Tanganyika can be merged with Malawi, so that the contradiction can be digested.

This gives Tanganyika a little sweetness, and maybe it can improve the relationship between Northern Rhodesia and Tanganyika.

In fact, according to Alan Wilson's memory, although Tanzania had a good relationship with a certain major country during the Cold War.But it did not fall out with Britain or even the entire free world. Is Nyerere a representative of African socialism?

There was nothing wrong with that, but it didn't mean he was necessarily anti-British. Nyerere died of illness in London.

After Tanzania became independent, there was a mutiny, and Nyerere was in danger of stepping down. The British sent troops to suppress this mutiny. Generally speaking, Nyerere maintained a peaceful relationship with the UK.Although he is indeed ideologically with the Soviet Union.

"We are talking with Nyerere on the condition of the merger of Malawi and Tanganyika, and strive for a five-year observation period. That is, the transfer of power, the garrison will not withdraw." Alan Wilson said while thinking, "There is If you have time, you can invite Nyerere to come to London and we can have a good talk."

Among the pro-Soviet leaders, Nyerere is obviously not so radical. If there is a good negotiation, Britain can also help Nyerere. Of course, this is also good for Britain.

Like other colonies in British Africa, Tanganyika is also adopting the strategy of rejuvenating the country through real estate.

And it doesn’t need to be supported by the Gold Coast like Nigeria. Tanganyika itself has gold production, and it is also a key area for Britain to operate in Africa after the war. Gold production cannot keep up with the British Gold Coast, but it can definitely satisfy Tanganyika itself. construction.

Although South Africa no longer listens to the British greetings, the second and third largest gold producing areas in Africa are still in the hands of the British. The Gold Coast and Tanganyika have made indelible contributions to the post-war British.

"The method is a good one, but Nyerere is not easy to deal with. Although he is relatively gentle, he is probably a character like Nehru." Norman Brook frowned slightly, "Give most of Malawi to Him, will he agree?"

"Can we release the news that Malawi has the shadow of gold reserves, so that it won't be a negative asset after packaging it like this." Alan Wilson had an idea and thought of the Ogaden War that caused Ethiopia and Somalia, two pro-Soviet countries. .

Later generations proved that the Ogaden region has no oil resources at all, but this news directly caused two pro-Soviet countries in the Horn of Africa to fight, which can be described as a very impressive operation.

Norman Brooke's eyes lit up, and he said in an approving tone, "Alan, it's a very good idea. If there is gold, the nonsense of a big country in East Africa, I mean a wonderful future, maybe it can impress Nyerere."

"This is also an accidental suggestion." Alan Wilson expressed humility. The example of the Ogaden War, the respected Sir Norman does not need to know, but it will be a matter of time before the hidden danger of the war is detonated, because the Ogaden area itself is a disputed territory.

The Ogaden area can also be called Egyptian Somalia. It was originally part of Somalia. Somalia was divided into five parts by colonial countries such as Britain, France, and Italy. Among them, the Ogaden area with an area of ​​38 square kilometers was included in [-]. Italy belongs to Ethiopia, and after World War II, the area was handed over to Ethiopia for control.

The Ogaden area is mainly populated by Somalis, and it is incompatible with Ethiopia. It was allocated to Ethiopia, and it is mainly a well-known African power in Ethiopia, so it has to give face.

"Sometimes classics are created by accident and inadvertently, and you don't have to be too modest." Norman Brook shook his head slightly and said, "Alan, your abilities don't stop there, and what is commendable is that you and the military A harmonious relationship is a more prominent advantage than many people."

The relationship between Alan Wilson and Marshal Mountbatten is also a bridge between Whitehall and the military.There is no need to avoid this point, at least Norman Brook thinks that it should not be avoided, and it should be used well.

Alan Wilson felt his bones lighten a little when he heard it. Does this mean that the cabinet secretary is very optimistic about himself?Of course, he couldn't ask directly, so he could only leave Whitehall with some excitement.

After leaving Whitehall, Alan Wilson went to the Ministry of Defense in a blink of an eye, and the professionals who got rid of it produced a report on the seizure of the Lubumbashi area. Of course, it should be kept secret.

As Norman Brook said, a good relationship with the military is an important factor for Alan Wilson's reliability.With Marshal Mountbatten present, he would not be troubled by the military.

Of course, taking this opportunity, he did not forget to go back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for a face-to-face meeting, saying that he had returned to China.Macmillan is actually very happy that there is a permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs like Alan Wilson, and he goes on business trips abroad from time to time to make his life comfortable.

The foreign secretary must have misunderstood. One of the important reasons why Alan Wilson felt relieved to go abroad on business trips was because even if he was not there, the foreign policy could not be dominated by the foreign secretary with an American mother. The prime minister’s interest in diplomatic work , far greater than the interest in domestic affairs.

As soon as Eden came to power, he made a solemn pledge in the House of Commons to establish consensus politics with the Conservative Party.Other adjustments to drastic nationalization, but definitely abolition.He is in charge of foreign affairs.

As for major international affairs, there is currently only one Six-Party Talks in preparation, which has been regarded by Eden as his important achievement. Macmillan, the foreign minister, at least cannot interfere in this matter.

After finishing these things, Alan Wilson went to Hawkson's Emerald House, where his wife was enjoying the rare livable season in the UK, with her lovely children.

Arriving in Hawkson, Alan Wilson was enjoying the rare tranquility, which was temporary, and he had already vaguely felt that there would be some women on the same level as his wife coming back to find him on the rocket.

Hawkson has been bought by Pamela Mountbatten as a residence while living in the UK.There are some collected antiques in the emerald house, which come from various sources, and are used to establish a learned personality for her husband.

As the evening approached, Alan Wilson lit a bonfire in the yard, enjoying the tranquility with his family, and toasted his wife in a very original way. As for the child who had been sent back to the house, it belonged only to the husband and wife at this time.

"It's a little burnt." After drinking, Pamela Mountbatten's face was flushed, like a country girl, not at all like the president of the Concern Group who was born in a noble family and is now rich.

"I'll touch it." While speaking, Alan Wilson went straight to touch his wife's hot face, and apologized, "Honey, when you came back in the summer, I went to Africa, and I feel very sorry for it Sorry. How much I want to be by your side."

"You have your business, I can understand." Pamela Mountbatten leaned on her husband's shoulder, took another sip of wine and asked, "Aren't you going to the Six-Party Talks in Basra? I feel like I can Is it a good result?"

"Let's take one step at a time. The gap in hard power is indeed worrying. However, conservative treatment is still possible." Allen Wilson, who was possessed by Chang Gong, explained the big idea of ​​trading space for time, and the need to secure the inside first when fighting against the outside world. strategy.

"There is one thing, if the Iranian oil crisis settles, the distribution of oil shares in the Middle East may enter a new stage. The current [-]-[-] split may become history."

"Huh? How much?" Pamela Mountbatten hummed, then looked straight at her husband.

Alan Wilson shook his head, "It's not how much it has been changed, it should be gone. In the future, if you want to make a profit, you should not make a fuss about crude oil, but find a way to refine it."

"Huh! Huh?" Pamela Mountbatten hummed twice, then suddenly laughed, "How did your head grow, can you see the future?"

Refining facility?Isn't it already built in Singapore, is she going to take over?

Chapter 55 Be wary of the wave of independence

"You don't really think that the world is eternal, do you? Afforestation in Canada, the ironclad age of the past, will not be forgotten so quickly." Alan Wilson teased an example.

During the Napoleonic Wars, due to the continental blockade policy, the British Navy's battleships had major problems. The battleships were giant beasts that devoured top timber.

Take Nelson's "Victory" as an example, its keel is made of teak, and all other parts are made of oak.A total of more than 24 century-old giant trees were consumed, and [-] square meters of forest area needed to be cut down.

During the Napoleonic Wars, Britain lost timber imports from the European continent and had to use local timber. As a result, almost all oak trees in the country were cut down, even small saplings were not spared.

Fortunately, after the Battle of Trafalgar, the British Navy won maritime supremacy.In order to maintain their fleet size, the British Navy planted trees all over the world. They surrounded all the forests in northern Europe and other places, and they also planted oak in Canada for decades.

As a result, the era of sailing has passed, and Britain's move to safeguard sea power has really become a public welfare activity.

The United States participates in the Six-Party Talks, and it is not without cards to play. For example, if the United States wants to harm others and benefit itself, it can completely propose to return the oil to the country where it is located. In the Six-Party Talks, it is returned to Iran.

Britain can naturally refuse, but it is inevitable that this is not easy to talk about. Of course, before World War II, Britain could choose to start from its position of strength and regard the proposal of the United States as fart.

But now it is the United States that is starting from its status of strength. Britain itself is not as powerful as the United States. If it is morally untenable, even if the six-party talks start, the effect may not be good.

If Iran's oil share cannot be kept, there is naturally no reason to maintain the original [-]-[-] share in other countries in the Persian Gulf. This will only shake Britain's indirect rule in the Persian Gulf.

"Then what's the use of you wasting so much effort to get the Six-Party Talks going." Pamela Mountbatten looked at her husband lovingly. Her man worked so hard, but he still did nothing?

"The function is to delay time. As I just said, the world is changing every day." Alan Wilson explained with a look of knowing that nothing can be done, "If you don't do anything, the United States will think We are weak and we will lose more than just Iran."

After so many years, although 700 million square kilometers of colonies have been lost, the UK is not the UK in the early post-war period. What should be fought for can no longer be left alone.

Even if the crude oil share is terminated, it is not a disadvantage, it is nothing more than an extra process.From the original crude oil income to oil refining income.Although in some countries with unique advantages, the crude oil extracted is of high quality and can be directly added to the machine for use, but there are not many such countries after all, and there are very few major industrial countries with crude oil reserves of this quality.

If you get stuck in the oil refining hurdle, you can also make a lot of profits. The industrial age is strong and weak, and there is no problem with this technology.

Oil is not as concentrated and easy to control as iron ore, so it is not difficult to find a way to get around it.

"I've always listened to you. When did I not follow what you said?" Pamela Mountbatten blushed, hesitated to speak, it was getting late, shouldn't it be time to do something serious.

After a few months, the female CEO has a lot of enthusiasm to express to her husband. For this, the humble social organ can only bear the peonies in full bloom. She hugs her wife and goes back to the house to rest. By the way, she checks if the children are asleep. Blend.

Afterwards, Alan Wilson hugged his wife's delicate body and sincerely apologized, "If you have another child, it is already a burden on your body. I am still too selfish."

"The eggs are almost stuffed in, so what do you say to respect me now." Pamela Mountbatten directly uncovered her husband's hypocritical mask, and when she was about to push herself off the bed, her arms were like iron clamps to prevent her Let’s move on, and now we are talking about the consumption of older women giving birth.

The deputy secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs blushed. The little girl back then had grown up, and now the same deceitful words are no longer useful. At this point, there is no other way. Alan Wilson, who tore off the mask of hypocrisy, exposed his true nature and was vicious. Let his wife know who has the final say in this family, "The proud executive deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will never tolerate the restraint of freedom."

Ai Zhongtang has always been loyal to Yuntian, no one can wrong his brother, no matter if it is the princess or the prime minister, the richest man or the actress.

The earth keeps turning without anyone, and the Year of African Independence is coming at a vigorous pace. Just before Alan Wilson returned to London, the Republic of Dahomey, which later became the Republic of Benin, became independent. Two days later, Niger became independent. , Two days later, the Republic of Upper Volta, namely Burkina Faso, and Ivory Coast declared their independence on the same day.

In August, Central Africa, Chad, Congo-Brazzaville, Gabon, and Mali became independent one after another. In the past month, nearly ten new independent countries have emerged in Africa. The Year of African Independence is well-deserved.

Alan Wilson is not idle either. He is now encouraging Foreign Secretary Macmillan to merge the Commonwealth Affairs Department, which is the department led by Minister Duncan who unfortunately died in Somaliland.

"French Africa's colonies have become independent one after another, and diplomatic work should also adapt to the changes of the times. Our challenges are still quite daunting." Alan Wilson told Macmillan this idea, with a look of selflessness for the national interest, "in this way You can also increase the responsibility of ministers, I don't know if it is appropriate."

Referring to power as a responsibility, this change made McMillan very useful, and he said without objection, "I have no problem personally, and my health is quite good. But it depends on the prime minister's thoughts. By the way, Alan What have you been up to lately?"

After Alan Wilson returned to China, he seemed quite tired, and McMillan rarely saw this executive deputy secretary.

Ladies of the same status as their wives are busy riding rockets of course!But Macmillan was not fit to know.

Alan Wilson answered righteously, "I am thinking about how the British colonies should deal with the impact because of the independence of French Africa. Especially to avoid the impact of British East Africa."

"Yes, it involves the security of South Sudan, Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania." McMillan nodded.

"And Malawi." Alan Wilson added, and then continued, "We are trying to organize a platform for regional cooperation in East Africa. Of course, this has nothing to do with the East African Federation plan. It is a platform to strengthen regional economic cooperation. It is used to focus Focus on developing resources in the Great Lakes region."

The Great Lakes region of Africa refers to the countries around Lake Victoria, which is the most resource-rich region in Africa.

The core of British Africa is here. Although the Gold Coast in West Africa is rich in gold and Nigeria has the largest population, it is still incomparable with the African Great Lakes countries in terms of value.
