Chapter 1054 Prophet Wilson

There are two things to do now. How about handing over the contents of the Northern Rhodesian Secret Pact to Whitehall and letting Norman Brooke take a look. There is also a plan for the military to formulate a plan to capture the Lubumbashi area.

Norman Brooke is actually less than sixty years old, but he has been obviously low on energy recently. After all, this leader of the British civil servants only has the same hobbies as Emperor Apocalypse, but he is on par with Yongzheng in his work. He even looks a little older than his predecessor, Edward Bridges.

"It's very good. It's a great idea to maintain British influence in Africa with Northern Rhodesia as the core." Norman Brooke was very satisfied. "The affairs in Africa have come to an end. Tanganyika is still left in East Africa. This The time for trusteeship of the place that was once a German colony is coming soon.”

"When it comes to that, if all goes well, Malawi should try to merge with Tanganyika."

Upon hearing this, Alan Wilson said directly, "Part of the land in Malawi is now under the control of Northern Rhodesia. The problem is that the population density around Lake Malawi is still very high. Once such a small colony becomes independent, the population will Pressure will follow. There will definitely be friction with Northern Rhodesia. To be honest, the main residents of Northern Rhodesia are Slavs, but black people don't see it that way. They don't know the difference between us and these Slavs. The concept of whiteness.”

"If such friction occurs, the UK will be embarrassed and may also suffer some criticism."

"If Malawi and Tanganyika are merged and then allowed to become independent, this contradiction will be internally digested. The hidden dangers can be solved for Northern Rhodesia."

Alan Wilson elaborated on his idea of ​​colonial change. Due to his own reasons, Tanganyika could not annex Sannibal Island, which was blocked at the entrance to Tanganyika. Sannibal would definitely become the British island's departure from East Africa. Best choice for shore balance.

Once Tanganyika ignores British interests in the future, Sannibal is in a position to block Tanganyika and force it to submit. What the hell is the East African Liberation Army? They are a group of black people.

But he is still willing to leave some benefits for Tanganyika. This is Malawi, which is located between Northern Rhodesia and Tanganyika. Tanganyika can be merged with Malawi, which can also digest the contradictions.

This will give Tanganyika a little sweetness, and maybe it can also 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 he did not fall out with Britain or even the entire free world. Is Nyerere a representative of African socialism?

This is true, but it does not mean that he must be anti-British. Nyerere eventually 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 peaceful relations with the British. Although he is indeed ideologically aligned with the Soviet Union.

"We will talk to Nyerere on the condition of the merger of Malawi and Tanganyika, and strive for a five-year observation period. That is to hand over the power, and the troops will not be withdrawn yet." Alan Wilson said while calculating, "Yes 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 was obviously not so radical. If they could have a good talk, Britain could help Nyerere, which of course would also be good for Britain.

Like other British African colonies, Tanganyika is also adopting a strategy of real estate development to rejuvenate the country.

And it is not necessary for Nigeria to need the support of the Gold Coast. Tanganyika itself has gold production, and it is also a key area for British operations in Africa after the war. The gold output cannot keep up with the British Gold Coast, but it can definitely satisfy Tanganyika itself. of construction.

Although South Africa no longer listens to the British, the second and third largest gold-producing areas in Africa are still in British hands. 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 someone like Nehru." Norman Brook frowned slightly, "Give half of Malawi to Will he agree?"

"Can we release the news and say that Malawi has gold reserves? If we package it this way, it will not be a negative asset." Alan Wilson had an idea and thought of the Ogaden War that caused the two pro-Soviet countries of Ethiopia and Somalia. .

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

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

"This is also an accidental suggestion." Alan Wilson expressed modesty. Honorable Sir Norman does not need to know the example of the Ogaden War, but it will be a matter of time before the hidden dangers of war are exploded, because the Ogaden region itself is a disputed territory.

The Ogaden region can also be called Egyptian Somalia. It was originally a part of Somalia. Somalia was divided into five parts by the British, French, Italian and other colonial countries. Among them, the Ogaden region with an area of ​​380,000 square kilometers was divided into five parts in 1**7 It was placed under Italian Ethiopia. After World War II, the area was transferred to Ethiopian control.

Valley/span> The Ogaden region is mainly composed of Somalis and is incompatible with Ethiopia. It was assigned to Ethiopia. Ethiopia is also a well-known African regional power and must give face.

"Sometimes classics are created by accident, and you don't have to be too modest." Norman Brook shook his head slightly and said, "Alan, your ability is not only limited to this, but what is commendable is that you and the military have Harmonious relationship is a more outstanding advantage than many people."

The son-in-law relationship between Alan Wilson and Field Marshal Mountbatten also served as a bridge between Whitehall and the military. There is no need to avoid this, at least Norman Brook believes that there is no need to avoid it, and it should be put to good use.

Alan Wilson felt as if his bones were a little lighter when he heard this. Does this mean that the cabinet secretary thinks highly of him? 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 the blink of an eye, and got rid of the professionals and produced a report on the capture of the Lubumbashi area. Of course, it must be confidential.

As Norman Brooke said, good relations with the military were an important factor in Alan Wilson's reliability. With Field Marshal Mountbatten here, he would not face difficulties from the military side.

Of course, taking this opportunity, he did not forget to go back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to show his face that he had returned to China. Macmillan was actually very happy that a Permanent Under-Secretary of Foreign Affairs like Alan Wilson existed, and he would go on business trips abroad from time to time to make his life very comfortable.

The Foreign Secretary must have misunderstood. One of the important reasons why Alan Wilson felt comfortable traveling abroad was because even if he was absent, foreign policy would not be led by the Foreign Secretary who has an American mother. The Prime Minister’s interest in diplomatic work , far greater than interest in domestic affairs.

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

Among the major events in international affairs, currently only the Six-Party Talks are being prepared. Eden has regarded them as his important achievements. Macmillan, the Foreign Secretary, at least in this matter, cannot interfere.

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

Arriving in Hoxon, Alan Wilson enjoyed the rare tranquility, which was temporary. He had already vaguely felt that a lady equal to his wife would come back to him to ride a rocket in the near future.

Hoxon has been purchased by Pamela Mountbatten as her residence while living in England. There are some antiques from various sources placed in the Jade Room, which are used to establish a knowledgeable persona for the husband.

As evening approached, Alan Wilson lit a bonfire in the yard, enjoying the tranquility with his family. He toasted to his wife in a very original way. As for the children, they had already driven them back to the house. At this time, it only belonged to the couple.

"Some face roasting." Pamela Mountbatten's face was flushed after drinking. She looked like a country girl. She didn't look like a noble-born president of Concern Group who was now extremely wealthy.

"Let me touch it." As he spoke, Alan Wilson directly touched his wife's hot face and said apologetically, "My dear, when you came back in the summer, I went to Africa. I feel very sad about this. I’m sorry. I wanted to be by your side so much.”

"You have your own affairs, I can understand." Pamela Mountbatten leaned on her husband's shoulder, took another sip of wine and asked, "Are you also going to the six-party talks in Basra? Do you think you can?" Is it a good outcome?"

"Let's take it one step at a time. The gap in hard power is indeed worrying. However, conservative treatment is still possible." Alan Wilson, possessed by Chang Gong, elaborated on the big problem of exchanging space for time, and that when fighting against foreign forces, one must first settle within. strategy.

"One thing is that if the Iranian oil crisis is settled, the distribution of oil shares in the Middle East may enter a new stage. The current 50-50 split may become history."

"Huh? How much should it be changed to?" Pamela Mountbatten hummed, then looked straight at her husband.

Alan Wilson shook his head, "It doesn't matter how much it is changed, it should be gone. In the future, if you want to make a profit, you won't have to make a fuss about crude oil, but find a way to refine oil."

"Huh! Huh?" Pamela Mountbatten hummed twice and suddenly smiled, "How do you have such a long head? Can you see the future?"

Refining facility? Isn't it already built in Singapore? Do you want her to take over?
