v2 Chapter 1026: learn from each other

At the critical moment, France is still fighting, and other colonies can give up, but Algeria, which has millions of French immigrants, is not among them. No matter what, the fight will still be fought.

"It starts with Cameroon. Cameroon is the trusteeship of us and the British. It just so happens that the British people who manage overseas assets are in Paris, and our two countries will jointly promote Cameroon's independence."

De Gaulle remembered that the manager of British overseas assets was experiencing French culture. After this opera, he had doubts about the cultural level of France. At least in the field of opera, it was not as good as the British.

The opera rippled above the increasingly loud cacophony of voices. Everyone in the audience was talking, pushing and shoving each other, trying their best to find their own seat, sitting down and the aisles were so crowded that each aisle finally got a steady stream of people.

The audience greeted each other, the clothes rubbed against each other, the men's black dresses or tuxedos interspersed between the women's skirts and hats. The rows of seats were gradually filled with people.

Fortunately, this kind of noise can make the two men and women who are inconvenient to disclose their identities secretly not be noticed by others.

Alan Wilson even felt that when he made a shot at this time, he would not be discovered by others, and he was even eager to try. It's a pity that Heidi Lamar refused outright, which was very disappointing.

Not to mention that heroes see the same thing, when Alan Wilson received a notice from France the next day, he said it was a coincidence that he was also thinking about Cameroon, but from a different perspective. The French thought that the time for the mandate of German Cameroon had come, and let it become independent.

What he thought was that Cameroon's independence should not affect the rhythm of the independence of the Nigerian Dominion. "I almost forgot that this year is the year of African independence."

Alan Wilson, lying on the velvet bed, remembered this year, which was also quite symbolic.

To be more precise, the Year of Independence in French Africa has arrived. After a series of preparations in that year, France almost allowed the entire French colonies to become independent in the same year, with the exception of Algeria.

"It hurts me. I won't go to Africa with you." Heidi Rama began to complain when she was pinched. Her shoulders were exposed from the quilt, white like white from silk, but a hand reached in from this angle. , destroying the awe-inspiring inviolability like a goddess.

"I was wrong!" Alan Wilson had no other virtues, but this decisive bow to authority was not aimed at anyone. Being able to bend and stretch has always been his philosophy.

Heidi Rama still has to be coaxed, otherwise he will not be able to stay in Cameroon for a day, and finally he has no choice but to say, "Or I will let Ingrid and I go to Africa, and you will continue to be your female president in Paris. ."

"Let me go." Heidi Rama's momentum weakened. Although the conditions were a little more difficult, at least he had this man to take care of him. He had always had a good life, but it was not always possible to be taken care of by a man.

Alan Wilson twisted his neck as he discovered the benefits of centrally managing women of equal status with their wives.

When communicating with France about the Cameroon issue, the person who received him was a general named Cavour. At this time when the Algerian war had not yet subsided, the French government had a large number of generals. There are even some French people who believe that in the early days when General de Gaulle took over the Fourth Republic, France was essentially a military government.

Whether France is a military government or not, no matter what happened to him as a British, General Cavour is still learning to talk about politicians and is reluctant to say the purpose directly, but he doesn't do much homework at first glance, and he is willing to do things for the independence of Africa. some work?

"If France has made a decision, the United Kingdom is also willing to help on the issue of Algeria's independence." Alan Wilson didn't know what the other party was talking about, so he directly brought up the Algerian issue.

"It's not Algeria." General Cavour was anxious, and his journey of learning the words of a politician had already ended from the very beginning.

A glimmer of smugness flashed in Alan Wilson's eyes, and this sentence alone can tell that France's attitude towards Algeria has not changed in essence, and it is enough to know this.

Soon, General Cavour mentioned the expiry of Cameroon's mandate. Alan Wilson made a vague appearance, but in fact, how could he not know that the colonial issue was one of his jobs.

"The Cameroon issue is a big problem, and the UK is also willing to help." Alan Wilson also showed a willingness to help. He didn't know that De Gaulle was going to cross the river by touching the UK and had already decided to shrink.

But he also had the idea of ​​crossing the river in France. Alan Wilson knew that the independence of French colonies and British colonies were not the same thing, at least in Africa it was completely different.

The independence of the British colonies is really independent. Except for economic, trade and language relations, the United Kingdom has no influence.

The French colonies are different. Most of the independent countries in French Africa are only nominally independent. Even in the early days of the end of the Cold War, France was expanding the French-speaking area in Africa, leading to the Rwandan genocide.

He also wanted to learn from France's advanced experience in maintaining the influence of the former colonies. The millennium friendship between Britain and France should be passed down from generation to generation. This time to witness Cameroon's independence is a good opportunity.

Although Alan Wilson has tried his best to turn the colonial situation into a win-win situation, maybe it can become a win-win situation after this time of study. Every country has something under the box, and the UK must not be arrogant, so that it can go far and beyond.

"With the cooperation of the United Kingdom, that would be the best." At least on the surface, after Aiden's visit this time, the relationship between the United Kingdom and France has been consolidated. General Cavour still understands the general situation and welcomes the British assistance on the Cameroon issue. .

Alan Wilson nodded, saying that he would go back to London and then go to British Cameroon to deal with the problem. After all, part of Cameroon is in the hands of the United Kingdom. Now he wants to go back and get the information to see what valuable things Cameroon has and how to realize it before independence.

By the way, I also need to study the French mining law. Not all French African countries are covered by them. Except for desert countries with no yellow sand, Cameroon’s natural conditions are quite good, and because of the development of oil resources in the Gulf of Guinea.

However, in the countries of French Africa, the resources are not their own, but the French. If you don't understand the French mining law, you will not find opportunities to make profits.

In recent months, the world diplomacy has been turbulent, and the United Kingdom has used all its diplomatic capabilities to attack Iran and then Germany, which has been involved, and this behavior has made the United Kingdom become the focus of the world stage.

It's a pity that this has nothing to do with Foreign Secretary Macmillan. The Prime Minister cares about foreign affairs personally. The Foreign Secretary can only care about some less important diplomatic issues. Macmillan is ready to go out to relax and take out Alan Wilson's plan to visit India. , ready to visit India to consolidate the special relationship between Britain and India.

Alan Wilson, who had just returned, learned of Macmillan's idea and greatly agreed, "The Indian issue cannot be overemphasized. The minister's willingness to pay attention to this issue is very admirable."

"Alan, do you need to be added to the interview list?" Macmillan was the first to see the executive undersecretary praising himself like this, and asked Alan Wilson if he wanted to join him.

"Uh, I really want to go, but the issue of Cameroon's independence may have an impact on the Dominion of Nigeria." Alan Wilson replied with an embarrassed look, "I can only wait for another opportunity in the future."

What a joke, go to India? Alan Wilson dared to go to any country in the world except India. The Wilson line that led to the Goa problem was almost in the Hindu textbook, and it may not have been that he became the second Gandhi.

He did not go to India, it does not mean that India is not important, even the United States recognizes the importance of India.

Out of the consideration of competing for influence with the Soviet Union, infiltrating into South Asia and expanding its own interests without too much damage to the relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom~lightnovelpub.net~ The attitude of the United States to India has gone from paying little attention to increasing attention, The process of expanding from mainly providing economic and technical assistance to including military assistance, the United States' foreign policy changes with the regional situation and international relations and changes in the consideration of self-interest.

During this process, the United States has never treated India equally, and its requests for assistance to India have rarely been met. Military aid often comes with additional conditions, and it is even more reluctant to take the lead on the issue of aid to India.

On the Indian issue, the United States generally chooses to let the United Kingdom be the first bird to confront the Soviet Union, and it can hide when it comes to aid. After all, the United States is not the stupid big brother of the Soviet Union.

"However, Minister, based on what I know about India, this visit to the Minister may face several issues, one of which is extremely important. Don't be fooled by Nehru." Alan Wilson still decided to remind Macmillan, "On the issue of the northern border, once the position is expressed, it will be very complicated."

"I know this very well." Macmillan nodded. Britain once had ambitions for the roof of the world, but that was based on the fact that British India was a British colony, and the attitude of the United Kingdom changed from India's independence.

On the contrary, the United States has always stood by India on the issue of the roof of the world. In 1951, the United Kingdom also opposed the United States' proposal on the roof of the world issue at the United Nations, but the United Kingdom was not the Soviet Union, and in the end it was only opposed in principle.

"The minister's excellent diplomatic experience naturally does not require me to make any reminders." Since this issue will not be a problem, then there will be no other problems. Alan Wilson directly wishes MacMillan's visit a complete success.
