Pedro is well aware of the importance attached to Goa at home. From his heart, Portugal has regarded Goa as its own overseas territory, and has continued to build and improve its infrastructure.

After Portugal occupied Goa, it gave Goa the same status and privileges as Lisbon, and made Goa the capital of Portuguese India.

Portugal has been stationed in Goa for a long time, and has established a naval base. At the same time, it has strengthened fortifications and other infrastructure constructions, as if Goa has become Portugal's own territory.

Portugal also carried out a large number of immigrants and encouraged the Portuguese to marry the locals. In order to strengthen Portugal's control over the Goa region, Portugal immigrated to the Goa region in large numbers, and encouraged the intermarriage of Portuguese and local women to increase the population.

Therefore, there are a considerable number of Eurasian people in the Goa region, which Portugal has regarded as its own residents.

Most importantly, Portugal believes that the local Christian population is already in the majority, and that religion and blood are completely irrelevant to the rest of the subcontinent.

"Portugal's reliance is actually not enough. The key lies in British India. If we clearly recognize the legitimacy of Portuguese Goa, if we can't solve all problems, we can solve most of the problems." Alan Wilson told Pedro The argument of Goa was refuted point by point, "Goa's population is too small, even if it is Christian, once the surrounding Indians flood in, Goa's population ratio will easily change. Small population is the second, and the area is too large. small."

"Actually, I have a plan that seems to be fairly fair. It depends on whether Portugal can weigh the pros and cons and give an answer." Alan Wilson said to himself with an embarrassed expression, "Actually, it is very difficult for me to do it, I have to say Responsible actions are usually accompanied by criticism and pressure. I hope that the two sides will coexist peacefully, and maybe both sides will not appreciate it in the end, which is one of the reasons why most people dare not try to solve the Goa issue easily."

Alan Wilson frowned and looked very embarrassed, saying that this matter was very difficult. It seems that before taking the last step, he is struggling with his conscience, but he has no choice but to make this decision.

Pedro will not be fooled by this kind of performance, even if Alan Wilson's acting skills have improved significantly under Vivien Leigh's day and night guidance. But this still can't fool the Portuguese, good people can be civil servants? And come to the colony?

Finally, like countless predecessors of the British Empire, such as McMahon, Duran, and Curzon, will they leave their own mark in history?

McMahon Line, Duran Line, Curzon Line, Will Wilson Line Really Appear? Although I have been prepared in my heart, it is not easy to make up my mind. This makes Pedro anxious. What does Alan Wilson mean? Do you just call yourself to New Delhi for a cup of black tea.

If he is facing an African chief, Pedro will definitely let the other party go around, but it is different when facing Alan Wilson. When a gentleman is considering a problem, it is normal to need a little time to weigh the pros and cons. , is understandable and worth the wait...

"Actually, Goa's problem is not completely intractable, it just needs an opportunity." In Pedro's eyes full of wanting to improve, Alan Wilson finally said slowly, "This opportunity is very important. History is like this, there is a chance in the inevitable, and there is an inevitable in the accident, there is an opportunity that is fleeting, and it depends on whether Portugal can seize the opportunity.”

"Please give pointers to Mr. Allen." The question mark on Pedro's face, I don't know where the opportunity is in Alan Wilson's mouth, why didn't he feel it at all?

"Then Mr. Pedro, I'll just say it casually, you can think for yourself whether my words are reasonable." Alan Wilson stopped using his words, "In short, Goa has several disadvantages, the territory is too small , the population is easily infiltrated. I will talk about the solution later. First, let me talk about the good news for Portugal, which is the so-called opportunity. That is... There are signs of drought this year, and Mr. Pedro is also working in British India. It's been a long time, you should know that there was a drought last year."

"Drought?" Pedro was a little confused when he heard it, what does this have to do with Portugal and Goa, but if a drought occurs for two consecutive years, it will be a major event for the subcontinent, and he asked, "I don't know what the government's response is. ?"

"Of course it is all-out disaster relief. We are responsible for hundreds of millions of lives." Alan Wilson replied sternly, "We will use all the forces at our disposal to fight this drought."

Alan Wilson's words left a certain leeway. The power that can be used is indeed available, and there are powers that cannot be used.

Everyone knows that he is just a small commissioner's assistant, in fact, he has no rights. How can civil servants have the right to make too many decisions when it is said that there is a vacancy period for the Governor?

"It's not how we deal with this drought. Subjectively, of course, we will do our best to deal with it, but this drought is an opportunity for Portugal to solve the problem of Goa's status." Dro nodded and said, "A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

It's not that Pedro was born stupid, but the key is that he has never seen the conscience of the British Empire. When there were problems in British India, the British Governor's Office was always indifferent. The words of disaster relief were calmed down, and the whole person looked like an alien he had seen.

"Bring in a map of Goa!" While Pedro was sluggish, Alan Wilson picked up the phone and instructed the secretary outside, and immediately the office door was pushed open, a map of Goa was sent in.

I have to say that the data reserves of the Governor's Palace are absolutely sufficient. After all, although Portuguese India and French India are not large in size, plans should be made as long as they exist, and some reasonable preparations should be made.

Before World War II, the United States formulated plans to start wars with different countries, including attacking Canada, which is very normal.

"I still don't quite understand the so-called opportunity." Pedro thought about various reasons, but just didn't believe Alan Wilson's words, would the British be kind? This is impossible!

"The general environment has changed from time to time. Of course, we also have to make some changes according to the specific environment."

Alan Wilson said with a serious face, "The most important thing is to be worthy of your conscience."

When did you have such an extravagant idea? Pedro gave a suspicious look and said cautiously, "Please continue."

"That's right. Although we are ready to fight the drought this time, after all, British India has limited reserves. There may be some problems of one kind or another. After all, the plan has not changed quickly." Alan Wilson said nonchalantly, "If With the strength of British India itself, it cannot withstand this great famine, and may need the assistance of some friendly countries. This friendly country can also include Portugal..."

Can also include Portugal? Pedro lost his voice, "Portugal and the British Empire are the initiators of the Brussels Conference, and we are close allies. It makes Portugal very offensive to say this."

"It's just a question of words, don't be too entangled." Alan Wilson signaled to be calm and continued, "Portugal has a wide range of colonies, and as far as Portugal is concerned, there is not much population demand. Appropriate shares are granted to help British India, then it is a logical request, and I think the Governor's Office may have to agree for the lives of hundreds of millions of people in British India."

"Is that so?" Pedro raised his eyebrows and gave a knowing smile, he already understood and said to himself, "At that time, Portugal wants to ask some reasonable questions, such as confirming Goa's legal status."

"Of course it's not a problem." Alan Wilson said with a smile~lightnovelpub.net~ Put the map that the secretary just brought in between the two of them, pick up a random pen, and put it in Goa, Portugal. After drawing a circle around, a random drawing is four times the size of the current Portuguese Goa. At the same time, he lowered his voice and said, "It can even be more excessive..."

"Wow!" Pedro's eyes showed greedy eyes, "It looks very exciting."

"You can call it the Wilson Line, and if nothing else happens, I'll be the one to negotiate." Alan Wilson turned the corner when he said this, "But you also know that many times, although it's for everyone's well-being, But there is always some blame for whoever does it. Duran, McMahon, and Curzon, so it takes a lot of courage to do this.”

"Mr. Alan is a friend of the whole country of Portugal, and we will never disappoint our friends." Pedro assured with a solemn expression, "I will definitely apply to the country to prepare a suitable gift for you, Alan. "

"What's so embarrassing about this?" Alan Wilson pretended to be evasive, with an expression that wasn't embarrassing. "That's an excuse. I hope Mr. Pedro understands that I don't use Portuguese money, but Portuguese money. Portugal is the ultimate beneficiary of Portugal.”

"Yes, I was negligent." Pedro admitted his mistake apologetically, "It is Portugal's money to handle Portugal's affairs. Of course, as friends, we never let our friends do things in vain."

very good! Alan Wilson took the comfort of being able to teach the children. Now that the general framework has been set, it is necessary to discuss the details. There is a saying that the details determine the success or failure.

For example, how much food should Portugal take out to help British India without affecting its own supply.
