British civil servant

There is a large amount of national enterprise in the UK, and Alan Wilson wanted to show this side, and used it to welcome Nyerere.

Sitting in front of the window of Hepburn's boudoir, holding a newspaper about the Republican Party's suspicion of Kennedy's fraud in his hand, Alan Wilson was thinking about things that had nothing to do with the United States, looking like he was in a trance.

"Looking at you, it's hard to imagine that you are a high-ranking foreign policy official." After washing her hair, Hepburn murmured dissatisfied with the idiot in front of her with a trace of disgust in her mouth.

"I was wrong." Although he didn't know what was wrong, Alan Wilson instinctively apologized first, and then muttered, "A black leader is coming to London soon, and I'm thinking about it."

"Is it difficult to deal with?" Hepburn was taken aback, and regained her understanding, not wanting to be bothered by her man.

"It's not difficult to deal with, Fabian socialists. It's not a big problem to talk about how to improve. It's not the Soviet socialists. If the latter is in trouble." Alan Wilson smiled and said, "But Tanganyika's Position is very important, and our original intention is to achieve a win-win situation."

"I accepted a script." Hepburn spun around and sat directly on the man's lap, "This time the image is very different from before, but I like to break through myself."

As soon as Alan Wilson heard Hepburn's narration, he knew that it was the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's. This script was actually tailor-made for Marilyn Monroe, but Marilyn Monroe didn't want to play the role of a courtesan. This script It fell into the hands of Hepburn, "I think this will become a classic."

"Do you really think so?" Hepburn was very happy, feeling that her ideas were appreciated.

"Of course!" Alan Wilson said impatiently. Who would have thought that a female movie star who played a bitch role could be so good?This is Hepburn's classic image, "I think the day when you get a million dollars is not far away."

"Millions of salary? Taylor has already got it now." Hepburn looked nonchalant, but still revealed a hint of unwillingness to let others down.

The next day, Alan Wilson got up and looked in the mirror. Looking at himself in the mirror, he muttered to himself, "I was hurt by alcohol and sex, and I was so haggard. From today, I will stop drinking!"

After the war, the United Kingdom had a plan for the East African Federation. It wanted to establish a political entity to replace British India, as an auxiliary force for the United Kingdom, to support the United Kingdom against the United States and the Soviet Union, and to maintain the United Kingdom's status as a global power.

However, this plan was opposed by local African elites, but in fact, what these African elites opposed was not the East African Federation, because the later East African Federation plan was also a plan that countries such as Tanzania and Kenya have been promoting.

Simply put, their objection was that they could not participate as a colony.Just like the Co-Prosperity Sphere, the Japanese think that what they say should have the final say, but the Chinese definitely don’t think so. What is opposed is not the Co-Prosperity Sphere, but Japan itself.

Also because of this fierce opposition, London finally approved Alan Wilson's plan to develop Malaya, and it has been implemented until now. This time, Nyerere's arrival certainly cannot mention the East African Federation plan. Now Alan Wilson needs to do it Yes, no one understands socialism better than him, especially the reform part.

At the beginning of November, Nyerere arrived in London on the Comet Airliner, and formally began discussions with the United Kingdom on the issue of Tanganyika's independence. This round table meeting was highly valued by Nyerere.

Alan Wilson also attaches great importance to this point, and plans to communicate with Nyerere on the future pattern of the entire African continent.If there is a win-win result, the merger of the Malawi colony and Tanganyika will be put on the agenda.

When welcoming Nyerere at the airport, Alan Wilson offered to shake hands to express his friendship, "Mr. Nyerere, welcome to London. I believe you have been looking forward to this day for a long time."

"I am really anxious about Britain's delay in making Tanganyika independent," Nyerere said bluntly.

"Haha, Mr. Nyerere, it's not that simple. Many things can't be done overnight, and too hasty decisions. There were India and Pakistan before, and now there is a civil war in Congo." Alan Wilson said with a smile, "What we mean is that we can A peaceful transfer of power without leaving conflicts."

"Of course I know that many people think that the Partition of India and Pakistan is the result of Britain's deliberate separation. Although I defend Britain, many countries may not agree, but Britain does not have a tradition of partition. Others don't understand this, Mr. Nyerere You should understand, because you should have heard of both the Central African Federation plan and the East African Federation plan, and you are a staunch opponent."

The idea of ​​merging East Africa into one country was first proposed by the British.After the British occupied the German colony of Tanganyika, they increasingly hoped to establish an East African federation including Uganda, Kenya and Tanganyika.

"And, Mr. Nyerere? Are you really against the East African Federation plan? What you are against is the United Kingdom, not the East African Federation plan." Alan Wilson said in an old farmer's tone, "Compared to the illusory United States of Africa, The East African Federation could try, you just don't want the UK to make it happen."

Tanganyika had always opposed the East African Federation before independence, but after Nyerere gradually became the political leader of Africans in Tanganyika, his attitude towards the East African Federation changed.

Nyerere does not disagree with the East African Federation, which is not only more feasible than the United African United States, but also part of the regional political integration that the United African United States must go.

Alan Wilson, who is quitting alcohol, said with confidence, "I have another idea to discuss with you. I hope we can all get a satisfactory result this time."

Now is the time to pack up the Malawi colony and push it to Nyerere. Things have to be done step by step. The towering tree has to grow from a small sapling. Merging the Malawi colony is the first step of the East African Federation.But Alan Wilson also hopes to be the last step.

He does not want the East African Federation to appear. Britain has learned a lesson on the issue of British India. Merging colonies is not a good way, although it can reduce the cost of colony management.

When the dialogue officially started the next day, Nyerere received a big gift package from Alan Wilson, regarding the proposal of the Malawi colony being merged into Tanganyika, "Mr. Nyerere, this world is very realistic. Yes, there is no place for a small country at all, and if a superficially big country has wealth that is not commensurate with its national strength, it will not only be useless but also very dangerous, such as Mr. Lumumba’s Congo now. Lumumba has the support of the Soviet Union. Isn't the country caught in a civil war?"

"It's full of imperialist rhetoric." Nyerere responded with sarcasm.

"It's also an obvious fact. Maybe the truth is said in the simplest language, which is so hurtful. There is nothing I can do about it."

Alan Wilson shrugged and said in a compassionate tone, "In the past year, many colonies in French Africa have become independent, but I say that the test has just begun. Does Nyerere believe it? The entire country of Guinea has been taken over by the French. Destroy, this is not talking about history, but what is happening now."

"Based on the population and size of Malawi, even if it is independent, it is impossible to exert any influence. It must also follow behind the neighboring countries. Isn't what I said realistic? From this point of view, after the British After consideration, it was decided to let the Malawi colony be managed by Tanganyika, what does Mr. Nyerere think?"

"Although merging colonies is a British tradition, I don't think it's free, right?" Nyerere was moved, but he didn't believe that Britain would be so kind.

"Of course we have our purpose." Alan Wilson made a fool of himself, and then said, "As for the issue of independence, we still hope that Mr. Nyerere will carefully consider it."

Nyerere in Chapter 66 Visiting

"I still hope that we will obediently maintain the colonial form." Nyerere snorted and said with a look of seeing through Alan Wilson, "Britain is doing everything possible to colonize Africa."

"That's not bad, but we have our reasons. In all fairness, I can find a hundred reasons for not allowing you to be independent, and each of them is very reasonable. From education, nationality, army and even geographical environment. But I Now I just want to say one thing, let us explain this problem with a businessman’s thinking.”

Alan Wilson said to Nyerere seemingly sincerely, "Do you think that if there is a Soviet Union in the world, any country can learn from the Soviet Union? It has 2000 two million square kilometers of land, do you have it? Even if it is merged In Malawi, the land you can use to build a country is only 100 million square kilometers. But it is stronger than many countries in French Africa. At least your land life is still no problem, unlike Chad, which has more than 100 million square kilometers on the surface kilometers, but the whole country is supported by Lake Chad.”

"If something goes wrong with Lake Chad, the whole of Chad will be waiting to eat sand, and the Sahara has no shortage of sand."

"You can use Tanganyika's resources in exchange for funds to develop the country, but who owns this market? One is the United States and the other is Europe. You won't sell resources to the Soviet Union, right? The Soviet Union has no shortage of resources, neither of which lack."

"So even if Tanganyika becomes independent, the British influence will still be there, that's a fact."

The communication between Alan Wilson and Nyerere was a dialogue based on facts. Even if Tanganyika is independent, there are not many choices. Of course, if Nyerere recognizes the RMB, it will be assumed that he has not said anything.

But what use does Tanganyika think it has?In the world, except for the US dollar and the pound, hoarding a pile of renminbi can't buy anything.

It was the first time Nyerere saw such a diplomat. In his eyes, Alan Wilson was sincere and everything he said was true.But these facts hurt his feelings greatly, "I can ask the Soviet Union for help."

"The last country that asked the Soviet Union for help was in a civil war. Even if Britain could tolerate it, the United States would do it. So starting from the facts, I hope that Mr. Nyerere will not do this, and even if he wants to do it, don't say it."

"Actually, from the point of view of the transaction, I want to exchange the land of Malawi for some time. If Tanganyika finds trouble with the British in the independent stalls of French Africa, this does not take the dignity of the United Kingdom seriously. .”

"How long is that? Five years? Ten years?" Nyerere sneered. "The people of Tanganyika can't wait that long."

"I hope it will be five years. After the end of the year, an independence agenda similar to that of Nigeria can be activated. You can command the local British civil servants in Tanganyika to conduct government operations. After five years, Tanganyika can hold general elections and become officially independent."

Alan Wilson is not embarrassed at all, he is for this purpose, "We, the United Kingdom, must prove to be stronger than France. So hasty independence is not an option for the United Kingdom. If Mr. Nyerere is willing to cooperate, he will get a lot of help from the United Kingdom , including but not limited to economic, military and even a series of support.”

Nyerere didn't answer, and fell into thinking. Alan Wilson went further, "Your Excellency's itinerary in the UK has been arranged. Of course, I also hope to visit Nigeria and the Gold Coast. The West African colonies have entered the independence agenda." Early, the current construction may provide you with some ideas for building Tanganyika. In fact, we really have an economic plan covering the entire East Africa. If Mr. Nyerere wants, I can give you a copy."

Nyerere was of course very interested, so Alan Wilson gave Nyerere a small, 450-page, very detailed East Africa economic development plan for the railway construction and development plan in the Great Lakes region of Africa.But relying on Tanganyika itself, it is [-]% impossible to handle.

Today’s Britain cannot do it. In the [-]th century, “the poorest patriots in the East End of London will involuntarily puff up their chests when they think of British industry and wealth.” Industrial power.

But in front of Nyerere, it can still act as a veteran industrial power. Alan Wilson almost included all the companies and industries currently available in the UK in Nyerere's tour itinerary. He said nothing It is better to let Nyerere feel the gap for himself, and then make a judgment.

"Executive Undersecretary, will this be a little bit?" Chief Private Secretary Wick hesitated, feeling that the scale of opening up was too large.

"What's there? As far as the level of black people is concerned, you can copy it at a glance?" Alan Wilson grinned. "It's really surprising that black people have this level. Anyone can learn from the Soviet Union?"

In the field of reverse engineering, only one country had this capability during the Cold War, and that was the Soviet Union, the leader of the hostile camp.If there is still half, add a certain big country that is slamming the Soviet Union.

Alan Wilson does not think that Tanganyika, which is not considered powerful in Africa in later generations, has this ability.

"Make good use of our business power, which is one of the factors that make us stand out from the agricultural era." Alan Wilson said to Wick, "You accompany Nyerere around, remember to maintain respect for him, say It’s not certain when he will be the leader of a country, and being able to establish a personal relationship is also good for your future.”

"We really let go of Africa?" Wick couldn't believe it, "500 million square kilometers of land."

"Who made our population not dominant? That opportunity has passed." Alan Wilson sighed. The attempt by the European colonial countries to occupy the magpie's nest was ultimately unsuccessful.

In fact, the reason why Europe slaps other civilizations is very simple, the direct consequence of population crushing.

It is true that no country in Europe has the population of the Qing Dynasty, but the population of any country in Europe has an absolute advantage over places other than the Qing Dynasty.

Take the Ottoman Empire before its collapse as an example. The population of the Ottoman Empire was only 2000 million. The population of Europe and even Italy was larger than that of the Ottoman Empire. This is still the population size of the hegemon in the Near East.

The combined population of the entire Black Africa is equivalent to one of Britain, France and Germany, not to mention the division of Africa, Britain, France and Germany.

As for the reason why the Qing Dynasty was not treated as a colony, the simplest reason is that the population is too large and it is under the management of a central government.

India has been splitting, and it took Britain more than 100 years to establish British India. The same tricks cannot deal with the Qing Dynasty.

Even now, the population of Tanganyika is less than 1000 million, and the population of inland Africa is even smaller.But Alan Wilson knows that Africa's population growth far exceeds that of other continents,

The cabinet and Whitehall are also very concerned about Nyerere's arrival this time. Recently, Norman Brook always asks Allen Wilson to sit at NO.70 in Whitehall to ask if there is any progress.

"What do you think of the future of Tanganyika?" Norman Brook asked, "Can it become a country close to Britain?"

"It may be more difficult to bind economically and politically, unless we interfere with French African countries at any time like France. However, Sunnibal is in our hands, and it is not too difficult to balance offshore." Allen Wilson thought while answering, "It is for this reason that Sunnibal was kept. Its largest city, Dar es Salaam, is facing the garrison in Sunnibal. If you want to come to Tanganyika, you will be considered independent. And won't fall out with us."

"If I were Nyerere, I would ask if I could merge with Sunnyvale." Norman Brooke said with a smile.

"Even if we agree, Egypt and Iraq will not agree. Although Europe's reputation may not be very good because of the colonial era, it does not mean that other countries do not discriminate against blacks. Don't look at the Soviet Union and China far away. If they had nothing to do they would see black people wandering around and it would explode. Not to mention Arabs."

What Alan Wilson said is categorical. Many things stand on the moral high ground and criticize the colonization, but because they have not caught up. Alan Wilson has always believed that once a mainland country adopts an expansion strategy, it is 90.00% possible, not to mention [-]%. The expanded place will become Zhungeer.

When the two were discussing the future of Tanganyika, Nyerere was visiting the production line of the Comet airliner. From this, we can see how sincere Alan Wilson is. Even in the 21st century, large aircraft is also a high-tech industry. .Boeing and Airbus represent the cutting-edge industry dichotomy of the United States and the European Union, respectively.

The Comet Airliner is the property of Pamela Mountbatten. The people here naturally knew who arranged for Nyerere to come here. The person in charge looked elegant and easy-going, and took Nyerere to visit the industrial pride of the British Empire.

"Mr. Nyerere, no offense intended, but I can proudly say that only three countries in the world have such strength."

Nyerere, who had been silent all this time, asked back, "Which three countries!"

"Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union." The person in charge of the production line in overalls said with a confident smile, "Without decades of industrial accumulation, such an industry would not be possible. This is also the cornerstone of the British Empire in this world."

The proud person in charge certainly didn't know that if it wasn't for his boss's husband, the so-called pride of the Comet Airliner would have been defeated by Boeing long ago, so what is the pride of the British Empire?

Nyerere visited airplanes, automobiles, biological laboratories, and various itinerary items. He was very interested at the beginning, and then became reticent. Britain opened these cutting-edge industries to him without any scruples, which made him enthusiastic His heart was poured a basin of cold water.

Compared with Britain, which owns these industries, Tanganyika does not seem to live on the same earth, the gap is too far.

Chapter 67 New Aviation Market

None of these industries can be established overnight. With the existing foundation of Tanganyika, let alone exist, it is impossible to even think about it. The impact Nyerere received during the visit can be seen.

During the visit, Wick accompanied him throughout the whole process on behalf of his immediate superior, and reported the changes in Nyerere throughout the process without concealing anything.

"I feel something has changed in Nyerere," Wick's immediate boss reported when he returned to the Foreign Office.

"A Fabian like Nyerere has certain ideals. He is not a person who only knows how to fight for power and profit. Having certain ideals is the basis for us to maintain harmony. Of course, don't be too ideal, which will not only be bad for Britain. , is also detrimental to Tanganyika."

Alan Wilson was very satisfied, and explained very gently, "After all, not all countries can produce people like Stalin. We also want to prevent Stalin from appearing in other countries. What industry is Nyerere most interested in?"

"Currently, it's aviation and shipbuilding." Wick recalled and said what he thought was the correct answer.

"It's good to have ideals, but don't be so ambitious." Alan Wilson couldn't help shaking his head when he heard this, showing his dislike for Nyerere's focus on the industry. For Asian countries, it is better to slowly climb up step by step from the textile industry, but we have no obligation to remind him of anything. It is enough to create an unattainable image of British industry."

The shipbuilding industry alone is already an unattainable industry for ordinary countries, let alone the aviation industry.

The degree to which the aviation industry is now valued by the UK does not require Alan Wilson to spit it out. It can be seen that it is praised by various departments from time to time. As for tax cuts and policy support, they are all routine operations.

After establishing the status of the British aviation giant, [-] high-paying jobs were created to drive employment in the UK.Even if it is not called the food and clothing of millions of waterworkers, it is not far behind.

At least for Britain, the Comet airliner production line is far more valuable than Pamela Mountbatten's other industries.

Anyway, it is hard for Alan Wilson to imagine that African countries in later generations have any industries that can be sold, except for the textile industry.

The textile industry does not exist in every country.Most African countries rely on the export of raw materials, and some do not even have much raw materials, such as Chad, which is purely an ancient country living in modern times.

The problem is that Lake Chad has been drying up in the 21st century. Once Lake Chad disappears, what will happen to the country of Chad in the future?I don't know if France, the former suzerain country, can play a positive role in mediating Chad's water source problem.

"The tour is over, I'm talking to him once." Alan Wilson shook off his chaotic thoughts, put on his clothes and prepared to leave work.

African countries like Tanganyika, even if they start climbing from the textile industry, cannot compete with Asian countries at the same time, and it would be good if they can meet some of their own needs.

The big filter jointly set up by Europe and the United States does not work for all countries, but for a country like Tanganyika, it is indeed an indestructible existence.

What is life, for Alan Wilson, life is the time to calculate others, while ensuring that you are not calculated.As for the matter of Fengyue, is that just an adjustment?It is an indispensable business.

But there are some things to be happy about. Holding Xia Meng's pregnancy report, he feels a sense of accomplishment. Although Xia Meng's body hasn't changed yet, Alan Wilson touched her belly and said with a smile on his face, "I very happy."

"Sir Wilson, am I going to take a break?" Xia Meng asked for advice in a low voice.

"It's best to take a break for a while." Alan Wilson replied, "Don't worry, I will do my best to train your children. To be honest, I am still very optimistic about the development of your motherland. Maybe after more than ten years, your children can pass Xiangjiang will receive a very warm welcome when he returns to your motherland."

The starting point for British-funded enterprises to return to important markets may lie in his and Xia Meng's children.This kid's career will be helped by many brothers, coupled with the blue ocean environment, he can definitely show his strengths.

"Isn't the UK and my motherland hostile?" Although Xia Meng was elated by Alan Wilson's remarks that she valued the child in her belly, she still expressed her puzzlement.

"It is a hostile relationship, and it is also the second largest investment and trading country after the Soviet Union. Oh, now that the Soviet Union has withdrawn, Britain may become the largest trading country again." Alan Wilson smiled and embraced Xia Meng. Huaizhong, "We are promoting aviation trade, trying to lift part of the ban in Batumi, and trying to sell some passenger planes to China."

"Ah? There is such a thing, it's really unexpected." Xia Meng exclaimed, aren't the two countries opposing camps?

"Trade is trade, and politics is politics. At least British planes are no worse than Soviet ones." Alan Wilson put his arms around Xia Meng's body, resting his chin on the woman's shoulders. "There should be results soon."

For the current UK, due to the rise of Boeing in the United States, the aviation industry is bound to be impossible to kill the Quartet like when the Comet airliner first appeared. It is inevitable to find an untapped market.

The world has already completed two major blocks, and the countries controlled by the Soviet Union cannot enter the United Kingdom.

But now an opportunity has appeared. For the ultimate victory of the free world, the UK will naturally do its part, and it must first rush in to make money, oh, to promote international détente.

Now facing fierce competition from Boeing, the UK also needs a new market to emerge, which will become the direct and internal reason for its promotion of aircraft exports to China. At this time, there are also cracks in the hostile camp, which will affect economic and technical assistance, including Aviation products and technology, China began to shift the focus of foreign trade from the Soviet camp to Western European countries.It was against the above-mentioned background and conditions that Britain started the aircraft trade with China.

The current situation is very simple. The United States still remembers the revenge of the Korean War, and Sino-US trade can't be done even if it wants to.But the UK doesn't have this problem. The original history of the UK doesn't care, not to mention that it didn't participate in the Korean War in this time and space.

So apart from the United States, the remaining big market is Europe. This time, the trade is completely two-way.Britain needs orders to export passenger aircraft to stabilize the morale of the aviation industry, and China also needs passenger aircraft to establish its own routes.

So why not do it, it's not shabby to make money, let alone your own family's property.

"In London more than ten years ago, wars, blackouts, evacuated departments, shortages, chickens and horses raised in the country, etc., have always been cautious and obediently avoided any important information about individuals or families, Avoid mentioning the past."
