v2 Chapter 1042: too many ministers

The reason for this is to give the United States a sense of moral superiority that it is right to force Belgium to give up its suppression of the Congo.

Before Lumumba has revealed his true nature, that is, before he is not close to the West, he will bake the United States on the moral fire.

You can't just go ahead and the American public opinion just warmly celebrated the independence of the Congo. Lumumba is a national hero, so come back and overthrow Lumumba, right? Even if you really do this, you have to turn the public opinion around first, doesn't it take time?

Because Alan Wilson was going to British Somaliland, he couldn't keep an eye on the evolution of the situation in Congo from here. Naturally, he wanted to muddy the water. When the water was clear, he should be back, and it wouldn't take too long to end the trusteeship.

Grace returned to Northern Rhodesia and waited. After all, it was a neighboring place, and he could pay attention to the situation in Congo as well in Northern Rhodesia.

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

The Horn of Africa is sometimes referred to as Northeast Africa because of its geographic location. The Horn of Africa is located in northeastern Africa, a peninsula in East Africa, on the southern coast of the Gulf of Aden, extending eastwards into the Arabian Sea for hundreds of kilometers.

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

In theory, it is a battleground for military strategists. Why do you say it theoretically, because Alan Wilson is not too fond of the word "must pass through" for military strategists.

In theory, all land can become a battleground for military strategists, but in fact, many strategists must pass through the land, which is only a title under the existing conditions.

For example, in general, the central dynasty used the Hexi Corridor to use its troops in the northwest, and the Hexi Corridor was a battleground for the military.

In the Qing Dynasty, Gan Zhunger did not take the Hexi Corridor, but killed it from the Mongolian Plateau. The Hexi Corridor is not a must for military strategists.

If the Horn of Africa is very important to Britain, then the opposite side of the Red Sea Strait 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 two river basins?

If the dolls go on like this, the United Kingdom may occupy the whole world, and only then can the problem of the land that soldiers must pass through can be solved.

British Somalia is only a small part of Somalia, and it is accurately called British Somaliland. Italian Somalia was left free by the British a few years ago.

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

The biggest change that Alan Wilson brought to Whitehall was that it was better to divide the colony than to merge.

The partition of India and Pakistan proves that it is better for India to host Pakistan than the whole of British India to bully neighboring countries with complete independence. Cannibalism is the problem of India and Pakistan, and does not affect the security of other countries.

Under this change, the British East African Commonwealth, which had never appeared in the first place, was not even mentioned, and the merged British East African Commonwealth 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 to land, and Alan Wilson appeared before jogging forward, "Sir Wilson, welcome to Hargeisa."

"Of course, we want to warmly celebrate Somalia's independence." Alan Wilson patted Evans on the shoulder with a smile, "Don't worry about your future work, if Somaliland remains in the Commonwealth, you will still be 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, Somaliland's overseas assets are still managed by you, and we are against any nasty changes."

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

"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 him. This happy expression of witnessing independence was not fake. Somaliland again It's not a wealthy colony, it's a good thing to be independent.

For example, the gold and diamond colonies whose flagship products are the Gold Coast can make the founding fathers who advocate independence die unclear. Somaliland is obviously not included.

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, but the current development of Evans in Somaliland is limited to the green revolution and the main tourist signs.

Among the British colonies, other than the empty phrase that soldiers must pass through, Somaliland really has no particularly important value.

I have been holding my hands for so long just because I want to distinguish it from Somalia, which has already become independent, and keep the gap so that the two colonies do not merge after independence. Valley

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

"With a lady like you, I won't be the emperor." Alan Wilson laughed. His beautiful fantasy 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 wonder if the emperors of earlier dynasties will be like people. Anyway, the emperors of the Qing Dynasty are not very human.

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

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

"I thought you finally became a good person." Heidi Rama rolled her eyes at the man, "It turns out that Somaliland is worthless."

"There is also some value, but it's not worth paying attention to." Alan Wilson is not too fond of 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 fits perfectly.

In such a place, Duncan made a special visit. It can be seen that this minister is really idle and has nothing to do. He has to go to Africa to check 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 meet him.

Although there is only one day and twenty-four hours, there are still some changes in the world. The US public opinion has been very hot in reporting on the independence of the Congo. At the same time, a number of photos of the beheading of the Belgian colonial period and the Belgian World Expo two years ago have also been released. , photos of human zoos where Belgians treat Congolese as animals have been released.

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

Reports like this inspire a sense of moral superiority in Americans, and the name of the beacon of humanity is about to be named for America.

This was done by Alan Wilson through the medium of Newfoundland, and it worked well, but not without its side effects.

For example, since it is correct to support the independence of the Congo, the United States should also be on the weak side when the United Kingdom is bullying Iran.

It is conceivable that under the blessing of this kind of public opinion, the United States may have more confidence to support Iran to force Britain to submit.

There are two sides to things, and there is nothing Alan Wilson can do about it. In order to muddy the water, he must bear the consequences. The UK's position in different places may be diametrically opposed, but as long as it is shameless, no one can take the UK.

People who engage in politics should not be ashamed, such as the Commonwealth Secretary who is walking off the passenger plane.

"Ellen, it's great that Dickie has such a son-in-law." Duncan greeted him very familiarly, although he didn't know the young deputy secretary.

"My talent can't be compared to the marshal~lightnovelpub.net~ Alan Wilson squeezed out a smile and pretended to be humble in front of the minister.

My heart said that my father-in-law wanted you to die immediately, and being the Minister of Defense caused a lot of trouble for the military.

Well now, I went to the Commonwealth Office to find trouble with the overseas commissioner. Are Churchill's relatives so confident?

Duncan didn't see that the talent of Whitehall, who had been taught by many actresses by words and deeds, had hidden disgust towards him, and instead asked, "I heard that this year's overseas commissioner meeting is going to be held soon? I just have time, it should be logical to attend. Bar?"

"Of course there is no problem, esteemed minister! As long as the foreign minister does not object, we are all open." Alan Wilson said mildly, and at the same time pointed out that the minister should not participate in that event from his face. meeting.

As soon as he arrived in Somaliland, he was about to interfere with the overseas commissioner's affairs. Although Alan Wilson didn't say anything on the surface, the scenes in his mind were all the scenes of the other party's head blooming.

Evans had his convertible ready for the honorable minister, and now awaits Duncan's warm welcome from the colonists.

Thinking of the happy scene, Alan Wilson agreed to all of Duncan's propositions, and said very enthusiastically that the overseas commissioner's meeting, with the personal care of the minister, would definitely produce more results.

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

"Respected Minister, disarmament is a good thing, we all understand. The marshal is a soldier, and it is understandable that he does not want the British military to be weakened." Just kill the other party, who would be dissatisfied with a corpse?
