British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 1043: Minister Le Hua

Such an attitude made Duncan very satisfied. Among the Weng sons-in-law, the younger one was obviously much easier to deal with than the older one.

"Then let's talk after the independence ceremony." Duncan laughed, jokingly, "To be honest, Somaliland won't be a threat to Britain after independence, will it?"

"From a historical point of view, there is no such possibility." Alan Wilson replied without hesitation, "The difference between ancient Greek civilization is that many years ago, it came up with a system of axioms that had no application in the agricultural age. Quite rare in other civilizations."

Alan Wilson thinks back a little about the history of China, and it must be much better than Africa.

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are very famous, and the other two periods are the Wei, Jin, the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the Song and Yuan Dynasties. The former includes Liu Hui and Zu Chongzhi, and the latter includes Qin Jiushao, Li Ye, Yang Hui and Zhu Shijie of the four great masters of the Song and Yuan Dynasties.

Among them, Liu Hui is more significant than Zu Chongzhi. The reason is that Liu Hui's method of solving problems is recorded in the Nine Chapters of Arithmetic. Although Zu Chongzhi calculated the pi, future generations cannot know how he calculated it. This is a pity thing.

As for the problem-solving formulas left by Qin Jiushao, Li Ye, Yang Hui, and Zhu Shijie, they are actually the precious wealth of mathematics in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. Unfortunately, it is already the pinnacle of China.

Relatively speaking, the monarchical power of Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties and Song and Yuan Dynasties is not so terrible. The Yuan Dynasty is very similar to the social environment of Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. It is well known that the Yuan Dynasty court does not care about anything. The only person who can see the court in a year is to come down and collect taxes. What do people in the Yuan Dynasty usually do?

The Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties did not have the imperial examinations, and the Yuan Dynasty did not care about the imperial examinations. There was no temptation to become an official. The literati of the two eras studied other things.

What is certain is that in the field of mathematics, the mathematical achievements of the Ming and Qing dynasties relative to the Song and Yuan dynasties did not go backwards by a single star.

Alan Wilson believes that all major civilizations have their own treasures of civilization at the bottom of the box, but they must have not blossomed due to various reasons, but this place in Africa? Except for Egypt, it is not much stronger than Australia in the civilization map. Antibiotics were introduced a hundred years earlier, and Africans could be replaced by Europe.

Duncan's words could not be described as unfounded in Allenwell's ears, it was simply nonsense.

"Secretary, he wants to attend the overseas commissioner's meeting?" Evans's nose is not a nose or a face, and he is also used for the title of the minister.

"Nothing Evans, let's see if we can think of a solution. Let's finish the independence ceremony first." Alan Wilson asked his subordinates to calm down. What is there in British Somalia? A ranch with good conditions and wild animal resources, it is okay to receive some children from rich families in Europe to hunt, but I have to worry that it will not be Evans' turn, "Let the minister make an itinerary."

Compared with the much-anticipated Congolese independence, the independence of British Somaliland is not very noticeable, but Alan Wilson believes that it will definitely occupy the front page headlines, and let Evans try to mobilize the local people to take the desire for independence. Come out, on the occasion of the celebration, it should be lively and lively.

The residents of Hargeisa were mobilized, and the Commonwealth Secretary Duncan was also negotiating with the independent leader of Somaliland at this time. question.

The selected Egalle, Rathman and others assured Duncan that Somaliland would remain in the Commonwealth after independence, and at the same time thanked Britain for its efforts to ensure Somaliland's independence.

These people are carefully selected political figures who are supported by the United Kingdom. Somaliland has a small population, which is far from Somalia in the south, and has now reached the threshold of one million population.

Relying on the policy of real estate development throughout Africa, the construction of the capital Hargeisa is acceptable, and this time the negotiation is quite pleasant. Alan Wilson and Duncan also got along very well, and talked about many overseas commissioner meetings.

"I heard that your committee controls a lot of overseas assets?" Duncan asked with great interest.

"It's not too many. There are indeed some assets in operation, but after the independence of the colony, the shares are generally reserved and listed in London." Alan Wilson said sincerely, "Not all companies can be listed, such as Somaliland, where we are located. It is based on adventure-based tourism and animal husbandry as the backbone, focusing on exotic customs.”

In the past, the whole of Somalia was famous for the production of spices, but now the spices have long been worthless. For this reason, a company was set up to go listed in London to cut leeks? However, the coffee planting in cooperation with Somaliland will be discussed later, but I don’t know whether it will develop or not. Anyway, the plan is set. After independence, Somaliland will not develop. It has nothing to do with the United Kingdom.

Overall, the situation in Somaliland is relatively stable, of course, not without riots in the past few years, but the riots have ended magically, just as they magically began. No one knows the real reason, and this is also the norm in tribal politics.

Chief priority has been called into question, but it's just a pretext for the fight. Although the exercise of power between the two parties is unequal, they govern together after all, which makes the battle even more fake. They continued to govern together, but the positions were reversed: from then on, one faction prevailed. Certain clan leaders have also been replaced, replaced by leaders who speak, behave and behave in the same way as the faction. The supreme powers imposed by custom take turns, and rituals, duties, prohibitions, and penalties remain the same.

It's normal, this happens all the time in Africa, isn't everything ok now? I am preparing for a better life after independence. For the people here, the good days are yet to come.

Stores are open as usual, and people are walking out of their homes to witness the arrival of Independence Day in person. Also witnessing is the Honourable Commonwealth Secretary Duncan, who will hand over power on behalf of the British Empire.

Somaliland has some Willys jeeps to adapt to the local road conditions that are not very good. This open-top jeep was selected and a model in good condition was handed over to Duncan as the car to the location of the independence ceremony. So naturally.

On the night before independence, the industrious oxen galloped in the fertile farmland, just as people have fought for thousands of years, swinging like rain, just for a better tomorrow.

"Celebrating independence and celebrating on me?" Heidi Rama murmured, like a cultivated fertile land thanking the old cattle, the curly hair on his head became wet, complaining about the poor conditions in Somaliland, come by yourself How easy it is to wait.

This is a typical PUA. Alan Wilson can see at a glance Heidi Lamar's sinister intentions. It seems that the firepower just now is not enough, and he needs to work harder.

"Actually, as long as we like each other, the external conditions don't really matter." Alan Wilson expressed his sincerity, like a little white face who put down his dignity, wagging his tail in front of a rich woman and begging for pity.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Duncan dressed up and rode in a Willys jeep. Under the bright sky, he went to the square in the center of the city for the transfer of power. There were some British garrison officers on the road to maintain order, and everything was normal.

On the roof of the nearby four-story building, two white-looking men were holding an Enfield sniper rifle and waiting for their prey to appear. They were absolutely no strangers to Enfield sniper rifles.

During the Second World War, Churchill was the prime minister who worked too hard.

Many of the weapons used by the British army also went into the hands of the Yugoslav Fatherland Army. The two veterans who looked only in their forties were very familiar with this modified Enfield sniper rifle. To ensure success, the two came together.

Several Willys jeeps appeared in the scope, and the open-top jeeps with good vision made the two recognize Duncan's figure at a glance, held their breath, and raised the Enfield sniper rifle steadily with both hands. The soft countdown of the ~lightnovelpub.net~ scope adjusted with Duncan's figure.

"Bang Bang..." After the gunshots sounded almost at the same time, the two of them didn't even look that they were very busy, so they got up and left and ran all the way, leaving the British uniforms in place.

On the other side, Duncan collapsed into the back seat of the jeep, red and white liquid coming out of the blood hole in his face. Nearby were soldiers and people who were in a panic.

"After independence, the two countries must maintain friendly relations. Among the British Commonwealth, the United Kingdom can still take care of Somaliland." Alan Wilson assured local elites such as Egalle and Rathman with a smile.

"Secretary, the minister was assassinated." Evans suddenly appeared and shouted in anger.

"What?" Alan Wilson was stunned, and then quickly ordered, "Catch the assassin, and I must bury him alive. How is the minister now, is it all right?"

"I heard that it was shot in the head." Evans didn't know the specific situation at first glance. He didn't dare to go out now that the situation was so chaotic. What if the assassin had other targets?

"Two gentlemen, I'm so sorry for such an unexpected incident. But it must be sealed off right now." Alan Wilson said with a grim expression, and his tone was unquestionable.

A British minister was assassinated locally. This was a provocation to the United Kingdom. Before the matter was investigated, the independence ceremony had to be postponed. In anger, Alan Wilson's tone was not so polite.

At this time, Egalle and Lassman did not dare to neglect, they could only endure their anger and put on smiles, and they must cooperate.

The streets of Hargeisa are no longer festive, and soldiers are everywhere. As for the blood-stained jeep and the minister's body, Alan Wilson, after logical thinking, asked Evans to personally care, and he wanted to send a telegram to London.
