British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1041: wait and see

As the Deputy Secretary of State of the United States, Smith is a respected person wherever he goes. He has never been scolded by the nose. All of a sudden, Alan Wilson spit on his face, and immediately said angrily, "Whatever you guys are. What do the colonial nations think, the colonial era is over."

"Before the Berlin Conference in 1884, the United States was the first country to recognize Belgium's sovereignty over the Congo. What kind of moral model are you pretending to be, why? Am I wrong?"

Alan Wilson angrily asked back, "Aren't you Deputy Secretary of State? Go back and ask if this is true. A Deputy Secretary of State is so domineering. If you are Secretary of State, the United States will not rule the solar system?"

In 1884, seven months before the Berlin Congress, the United States became the first country in the world to recognize Belgian King Leopold II's territorial claims in the Congo Basin.

The U.S. is far from what it says it has no responsibility for dividing up Africa. Isn't there a saying that the interests are shared, and the interests are shared. It has nothing to do with colonialism. Who believes it?

There were 15 participating countries in the Berlin Conference. Not all participating countries have participated in the partition of Africa, but it does not mean that other countries that have not partitioned Africa have no interests in Africa. The United States is a seemingly unrelated beneficiary.

Congo's natural resources are of great strategic importance. It was during colonial times that the United States created the first atomic bombs using uranium from Congolese mines.

Alan Wilson and Smith, representing the United Kingdom and the United States, quarreled directly on Congolese Independence Day.

However, this time did not last too long. After spitting, Alan Wilson left directly, not giving Smith a chance to take advantage of the problem.

He is now going to talk to Grace about the land south of Lubumbashi. Congo is independent, and it is imperative to make profits. Although this time the Belgian Congo is independent, Britain, the United States, France and Belgium, the suzerain of Belgian Congo, are all involved. Come in, but four countries are four countries, and the interests cannot be exactly the same.

Especially now, the United Kingdom and the United States are still wrestling over the Iranian oil crisis. The United States wants to establish a pro-Western government and nothing else.

France wants to maintain the influence of the traditional French-speaking region, Belgium wants to maintain special interests in the Congo, and the United Kingdom does not seem to have any claims, but now it has, which is to merge the southeastern part of the Congo with the richest mineral resources into the North Rhodesian colony.

There is a leader like Lumumba who wants the Belgians to get out of the way. Congo also has a spokesperson who advocates maintaining a close relationship with Belgium. This person is Moise Tshombe, the most resource-rich Katanga province in Congo, and a pro-Belgian spokesperson. Leader Moise Tshombe.

There are three different political parties on the face of today's Congo, and the government is formed by a combination of parties.

There are three main forces: one is nationalist political parties, such as "Abaco Party", "National Movement Party", "African Solidarity Party", "African Solidarity Center", etc.; the second is pro-Belgian political parties, such as Katanga The Tribal Alliance Party, whose leader is Moiz Tshombe; the third is the feudal force among the two hundred and fifty tribes.

These political parties have different testimony and have great differences on the state system. The leader of the National Movement Party, Lumumba, advocated the establishment of a centralized state and maintained neutrality with the outside world; the leader of the Abaco Party, Kasavubu, and others advocated the implementation of a "federal system" based on the autonomy of the provinces; Moiz Tshombe advocated The Belgian-Congo Community is established.

There is no doubt that Lumumba has the largest number of supporters, and the ideas of Moiz Tshombe supporters in Katanga Province are also very simple. The local area is the most rich in minerals in the Congo, and they do not want the poor in Kinshasa. Taking advantage of oneself, Kinshasa in the eyes of the locals is similar to Egypt in the eyes of later generations of Saudi Arabia. What is the cultural center of an Arab country, the most powerful country in the Arab world, if you say so much, you have no money.

Grace, who has always been greedy for Lubumbashi, followed Alan Wilson almost every step of the way. Belgian Congo is now independent, so it's time to fulfill his promise?

Alan Wilson also wanted to deliver on his promise right away, but Grace should deliver on his promise first, not himself.

"Grace, don't worry for now. The countries that are involved now are Britain, France, the United States, and Belgium. We have to wait and see how things develop." Alan Wilson signaled to be calm, "Politics is not like war. The decision is made today, and the war will start tomorrow, and the war will not be so happy. There are separatist organizations in Katanga, and they have a good relationship with the Belgians. If the Belgians and the French are allowed to choose, they will definitely support Moise Tshombe. As a matter of priority, this option may also be taken once the United States finds that Lumumba is not trustworthy."

"Moise Tshombe? That **** with dead fish eyes?" Grace looked dismissive. Katanga is next to Northern Rhodesia. Although he has never seen this person, he has I saw the photo, "It's really not good, I sent someone to kill him."

"Hey, don't think it's so simple. There is a saying in the East, the mantis catching the cicada and the oriole is behind. Whether the situation after the independence of the Congo can be shaken at this stage, the key point is this **** with dead fish eyes... for On the independent leader of the nation for profit."

Alan Wilson smiled and said, "You have a chance when he makes trouble. Otherwise, let Lumumbazhen create an independent Congo, can you send someone to **** Katanga Province? Even if it is you Have war experience, how many of you are there? The Congo has 15 million people, how many of you are there, 500,000 or 600,000? If the Congo is not divided, how can you have a chance, so the time to start is very important."

Don't think that being a white person is a problem. If you don't listen to persuasion, you have to be **** the group. Allen Wilson has in mind. Not to mention that France has always insisted on Algeria, northern Rhodesia and southern Rhodesia, the colony of Rhodesia is absolutely disadvantaged. The population and the black people went to war, and finally ended up with a piece of chicken feathers. Valley

The independence of Rhodesia was the decision of the United Kingdom to hand over power to the blacks, which caused dissatisfaction among the local whites.

It can't blame the UK either. The existence of a small group of white people in the local area is not worth making the UK offend the entire African country. Anyone who is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom can do this kind of one-way multiple-choice question.

What happened to white people? When you need it, it is the same language and the same species. When you don't need it, who are you?

High-level British politicians have stated on many public occasions that the United Kingdom will hand over the colonial regime to a regime composed of the majority of the local residents, but they have not worked out a feasible plan for the specific details of the transfer of power.

In this way, the white ethnic group in Southern Rhodesia was the first to express their dissatisfaction, because although they were a minority, they controlled the local regime. Although the local black ethnic group received an empty promise, they did not gain any actual rights.

In such disputes, the white government represented by Ian Smith issued the Unilateral Declaration of Independence, declaring independence from Britain.

"Once the central governments of Katanga and Lumumba are in a state of hostility, your chance will come." Alan Wilson said thoughtfully, "I estimate that a few months are enough, and now there is only one question, When it’s time to take action, do you have enough military strength to do it? Also, don’t expect to swallow Katanga province in one bite. The area is not much smaller than Northern Rhodesia. Even if the population is not dense, it is estimated that far more than your population."

"It's not 1945, when countries are so busy repairing the aftermath of the war that they don't have time to look at Africa. If you're trying to replicate the removal of black people in Northern Rhodesia, it's impossible."

Alan Wilson has a sincere attitude, and when he wants to help, he always does.

He doesn't do things that he doesn't get his word for, and because of that, his friends like McCarthy, for example, have good reviews of him.

Since he decided to help Grace, Alan Wilson naturally put himself in his shoes to help, without any perfunctory intentions.

The most important thing between people is trust, and after some rough analysis, Grace agreed.

"The hosting time in Somalia is coming up. I'm going to go there soon, it should be in time." Alan Wilson said something irrelevant to the situation in Congo~lightnovelpub.net~ I will never let him leave Somalia alive, everything Just leave it to me. "Grace patted his chest and made a solemn promise that the new Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs will never escape the fate of his head.

Alan Wilson nodded, "After I'm done with Somalia, I'll go directly to Northern Rhodesia to help you."

The time has come to show trust between people, and Ingrid Bergman is very considerate of Ellen Wilson's yearning for freedom, although the consequence is having two lovely daughters.

When it was time for the shift, Heidi Rama was already waiting in Somalia, and Ingrid Bergman took care of the logistics.

"The situation in Congo may change, and you are ready to leave immediately." Alan Wilson, after a test drive of the luxury car, issued a travel warning to the female president.

Before leaving, Alan Wilson also did two things. He vented his dissatisfaction with the United States through a telegram. In the telegram, he expressed his thoughts on overthrowing the Lumumba government, suggesting that he was planning. The destination of this telegram was In South Africa, the person who received the telegram was Donald MacLean, one of the Cambridge Five.

At the same time, through the offshore center of British Newfoundland, large-scale newspaper pages were purchased touting American efforts to support Lumumba's liberation from colonization.

Crimes of Belgian colonization of Congo must be reported, such as cutting hands to develop Belgium, and Belgian human zoos.

It's far worse than cruelty. Britain is far from being ranked among the colonial countries. Only a country like Belgium can be called a colonial benchmark.

Just two years ago, in 1958, at the Universal Exposition in Brussels, Belgium, the world's last "human zoo" was also exhibited at this exposition. The moment when tourists fed the "animals" in their eyes , allowing the photographer to record this scene, which caused a huge sensation at the time.
