British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1042: Minister who cares too much

The reason for doing this is to give the United States a sense of moral superiority, thinking that it is right to force Belgium to give up suppressing Congo.

Before Lumumba revealed his true nature, that is, before he was not close to the West, he put the United States on the fire of morality.

It can't be that American public opinion has just enthusiastically celebrated Congo's independence, and Lumumba is a national hero, so they can come back and overthrow Lumumba? Even if you really do this, you have to turn the public opinion around first. Doesn't it take time?

Because Alan Wilson is going to British Somaliland, he can't keep an eye on the evolution of the situation in Congo from here. Naturally, he wants to muddy the water. When the water clears, he should come back, and it won't take too long to end the trusteeship.

Grace returned to Northern Rhodesia to wait. After all, it is a neighboring place, and he can also pay attention to the situation in Congo in Northern Rhodesia.

The two had agreed to keep in touch, and Alan Wilson took off directly on the Comet airliner to the Horn of Africa.

The Horn of Africa is sometimes called Northeast Africa because of its geographic location. Located in the northeast of Africa, the Horn of Africa is a peninsula in East Africa, on the south coast of the Gulf of Aden, extending hundreds of kilometers eastward into the Arabian Sea.

It is the easternmost region of the African continent, and Cape Hafon, the easternmost point of the African continent, is also located in this region.

Theoretically, it is a place that must be contested by military strategists. Why do you say theoretically, because Alan Wilson is not too cold about the term "place that military strategists must pass through".

In theory, all lands can be contested by military strategists, but in fact, many lands that military strategists must pass through are only called under the existing conditions.

For example, the Central Dynasty generally needs to use the Hexi Corridor to deploy troops to the Northwest, and the Hexi Corridor is a battleground for military strategists.

Gan Zhungeer in the Qing Dynasty did not go through the Hexi Corridor, but killed it from the Mongolian Plateau. The Hexi Corridor is not a place that military strategists must pass through.

If the Horn of Africa is very important to Britain, then the opposite side of the Red Sea should be equally important. Will Britain still occupy the Arabian Peninsula? The Arabian Peninsula is barren. In order to ensure basic living conditions, is it necessary to occupy the Mesopotamia?

If the nesting of dolls goes on like this, Britain may occupy the whole world in order to solve the problem of the land that the military must pass through.

British Somalia is only a small part of Somalia, the accurate name is British Somaliland. And Italian Somalia had been allowed to be independent by Britain a few years ago.

The independence of Somalia in history is that the United Kingdom allowed the trusteeship of British Somaliland and Italian Somalia to become independent in one month this year. As a result, the two colonies merged into a complete Somalia.

And Alan Wilson brought the biggest change to Whitehall, that is, it is better to divide the colonies than to merge them.

The partition of India and Pakistan proves that it is better for India to hostile to Pakistan than for the whole British India to bully neighboring countries independently. Cannibalism is India and Pakistan's own problem and does not affect the security of other countries.

Under such changes, the British Commonwealth of East Africa, which had never appeared, was not even mentioned, and the merged British Commonwealth of East Africa was also prevented from appearing. Naturally, the Republic of Somalia would not even think about merging.

In Hargeisa, the capital of British Somalia, High Commissioner Evans waited for the comet plane to land. Alan Wilson appeared before jogging forward, "Sir Wilson, welcome to Hargeisa."

"Of course, we want to warmly celebrate the independence of Somalia." Alan Wilson patted Evans on the shoulder with a smile on his face and said, "Don't worry about your future work. If Somaliland remains in the Commonwealth, you will still High Commissioner, if you leave the Commonwealth, you will have to change your title to ambassador, it's just a change of title, it won't make any difference."

"At the same time, you will continue to manage Somaliland's overseas assets, and we oppose any unsavory changes."

"I naturally hope to continue to benefit the society." Evans breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone became lighter.

"Of course, this is our common wish." As soon as he came up, he gave his subordinates a reassurance, and Alan Wilson went to the apartment that Evans arranged for himself. This happy expression of witnessing independence was not pretended, and Somaliland It is not a rich colony, and independence is independent, which is a good thing.

For example, Gold Coast is a colony whose flagship product is gold and diamonds. It can make the founding father who advocates independence die without knowing why, and Somaliland is obviously not on the list.

At any rate, it is a land of more than 100,000 square kilometers. It is impossible for Somaliland to have no resources at all. However, the current development of Somaliland by Evans is limited to the green revolution and the main tourist signs.

Among the British colonies, apart from the empty words that military strategists must pass through, Somaliland really has no particularly important value.

Holding it in hand for such a long time is only because of the need to distinguish it from the already independent Somalia, and to keep the two colonies from merging after independence.

Half an hour later, Evans left, and Ms. Heidi Rama, who rushed to Hargeisa to take over the logistics support, was already sitting in the man's arms, "Do you think of yourself as the emperor, the emperor is not as good as you Enjoy. In such a desolate place, you still need someone to come and accompany you."

"Accompanied by a lady like you, I won't do it if I am asked to be the emperor." Allen Wilson laughed loudly. His beautiful fantasies about the emperor disappeared without a trace after seeing the living schedule of the emperor in the Qing Dynasty. It is indeed the pinnacle of centralization. I don’t know if the emperors of earlier dynasties would look like human beings. Anyway, the emperors of the Qing Dynasty no longer look like human beings.

"So happy?" Heidi Rama was a little surprised. Isn't this man a staunch supporter of colonialism?

"Colonies with little resources should quickly become independent. If they don't become independent, they will depend on the United Kingdom." Alan Wilson can't let what happened to the United Kingdom in Suriname rely on the Netherlands.

"I thought you finally became a good person." Heidi Lama gave the man a blank look, "It turns out that Somaliland is worthless."

"There is some value, but it's not worth paying attention to." Alan Wilson is not too interested in the strategic position, otherwise Evans would not choose to develop agriculture, animal husbandry and tourism. The strategic position can be replaced by Djibouti, and Somaliland's independence can be used to block the United States. The human mouth couldn't be more suitable.

Just such a place, Duncan made a special trip, it can be seen that the minister is really idle and has nothing to do, and insists on going to Africa to feel his presence.

A day later, Duncan, the former Minister of Defense and now the Minister of Commonwealth Affairs, finally arrived in Hargeisa. Alan Wilson, like yesterday's Evans, went to the airport to greet him.

Although there is only one day and 24 hours, there are still some changes in the world. American public opinion is very enthusiastic about reports on the independence of Congo. At the same time, it also released a batch of photos of beheaded hands during the Belgian colonial period, as well as the Belgian World Expo two years ago. , Belgians published photos of human zoos showing Congolese people as animals.

This shows that the United States firmly supports the independence of the Belgian Congo, which is very beneficial to the entire human race.

Such reports have aroused the sense of moral superiority in Americans, and the title of the beacon of humanity is about to be determined by the United States.

This is what Alan Wilson did through the medium of Newfoundland, and it works well, but not without side effects.

For example, since it is correct to support the independence of Congo, the United States should also stand on the weak side when Britain bullies Iran.

It is conceivable that with the blessing of this kind of public opinion, the United States may have more confidence to support Iran in forcing the United Kingdom to submit.

Things have two sides, and Alan Wilson can't do anything about it. In order to muddy the water, he has to bear the consequences. The UK's position may be completely opposite in different places, but as long as it is shameless enough, no one can take the UK.

Those who engage in politics should not be shamed, just like the Minister of Commonwealth Affairs who is getting off the passenger plane in front of him.

"Alan, Dickie is very happy to have such a son-in-law." Duncan greeted him very familiarly, although he did not know this young executive deputy minister.

"My talent cannot be compared with the marshal." Alan Wilson forced a smile, pretending to be humble in front of the minister.

He said in his heart that his father-in-law wished for you to die suddenly, and became the Minister of National Defense and caused a lot of trouble for the military.

It's all right now, and I went to the Commonwealth Office to find trouble with overseas commissioners. Are Churchill's relatives so confident?

Duncan didn't see that the pillar of the Whitehall, who was taught by many actresses, concealed his aversion to himself, and asked instead, "I heard that this year's Overseas Commissioner's Conference will be held soon? I just have time, so it should be a matter of course to participate." Bar?"

"Of course there is no problem~lightnovelpub.net~ Dear minister! As long as the foreign minister does not object, we are all open." Alan Wilson expressed his position gently, and at the same time made a calculation. From the appearance of this minister, he should Will not attend that meeting.

As soon as he arrived in Somaliland, he was about to interfere with the affairs of the overseas commissioner. Although Alan Wilson said nothing on the surface, all the scenes in his mind were the scene of the other party's head blooming.

In order to meet the honorable minister, Evans has prepared the convertible, and now waits for Duncan to receive a warm welcome from the colonists.

Thinking of the happy scene, Alan Wilson agreed to all of Duncan's proposals, and expressed very enthusiastically that the Overseas Commissioner's Meeting, with the minister's personal care, will definitely produce more results.

"Alan, you are very different from Dickie." Duncan said with great satisfaction, "Because of the disarmament, Dickie is very dissatisfied with me."

"Dear minister, disarmament is a good thing. We all understand it. The marshal is a soldier, and it is understandable not to want the British military to be weakened." Just kill the opponent, who would be dissatisfied with a corpse?
