Now there are two things to do, hand over the North Rhodesian secret treaty to Whitehall, and let Norman Brooke see how it goes. The other is to let the military formulate a plan to seize the Lubumbashi area.

Norman Brooke is actually not yet sixty years old, but recently he has been obviously lacking in energy. In the final analysis, the leader of the British civil servants only has the same hobbies as Emperor Tianqi, but he is in line with Yongzheng in his work. He even looks a little older than his predecessor, Edward Bridges.

"Very good. With North Rhodesia as the core, it is very thoughtful to maintain British influence in Africa." Norman Brooke was very satisfied. "The things in Africa have come to an end. Tanganyika is left in East Africa. The place that originally belonged to the German colony, the trusteeship time is coming soon.”

"Speaking of which, if all goes well, Malawi should try to merge with Tanganyika."

Alan Wilson said directly when he heard it, "Now part of Malawi's land is under the control of Northern Rhodesia. The problem is that the population density around Lake Malawi is still high. Once such a small colony becomes independent, the population will The pressure will follow. There will definitely be friction with Northern Rhodesia. To be honest, the main residents of Northern Rhodesia are Slavs, but the blacks don’t see it that way. They don’t know the difference between us and these Slavs. The concept of being white."

"If such a friction occurs, the UK will be in an awkward situation and may also be criticized."

"If Malawi and Tanganyika are merged and then allowed to be independent, this contradiction will be internalized. It can solve the hidden danger for Northern Rhodesia."

Alan Wilson expounded his idea of ​​changing the colony. Because of his own reasons, the island of Sunnibal was blocked at the gate of Tanganyika. Tanganyika should not even think about annexing it. The first choice for shore balance.

Once Tanganyika ignores the interests of the United Kingdom in the future, Sunnibal's position can completely block Tanganyika and force it to submit. What the **** is the East African Liberation Army? It's a group of black people.

But he is still willing to leave some benefits for Tanganyika. This is Malawi, which is between Northern Rhodesia and Tanganyika. Tanganyika can be merged with Malawi, so that the contradiction can be digested.

This gives Tanganyika a little sweetness, and maybe it can improve the relationship between Northern Rhodesia and Tanganyika.

In fact, according to Alan Wilson's memory, although Tanzania had a good relationship with a certain major country during the Cold War. But it did not fall out with Britain or even the entire free world. Is Nyerere a representative of African socialism?

There was nothing wrong with that, but it didn't mean he was necessarily anti-British. Nyerere died of illness in London.

After Tanzania became independent, there was a mutiny, and Nyerere was in danger of stepping down. The British sent troops to suppress this mutiny. Generally speaking, Nyerere maintained a peaceful relationship with the UK. Although he is indeed ideologically with the Soviet Union.

"We are talking with Nyerere on the condition of the merger of Malawi and Tanganyika, and strive for a five-year observation period. That is, the transfer of power, the garrison will not withdraw." Alan Wilson said while thinking, "There is If you have time, you can invite Nyerere to come to London and we can have a good talk."

Among the pro-Soviet leaders, Nyerere is obviously not so radical. If there is a good negotiation, Britain can also help Nyerere. Of course, this is also good for Britain.

Like other colonies in British Africa, Tanganyika is also adopting the strategy of rejuvenating the country through real estate.

And it doesn’t need to be supported by the Gold Coast like Nigeria. Tanganyika itself has gold production, and it is also a key area for Britain to operate in Africa after the war. Gold production cannot keep up with the British Gold Coast, but it can definitely satisfy Tanganyika itself. construction.

Although South Africa no longer listens to the British greetings, the second and third largest gold producing areas in Africa are still in the hands of the British. The Gold Coast and Tanganyika have made indelible contributions to the post-war British.

"The method is a good one, but Nyerere is not easy to deal with. Although he is relatively gentle, he is probably a character like Nehru." Norman Brook frowned slightly, "Give most of Malawi to Him, will he agree?"

"Can we release the news that Malawi has the shadow of gold reserves, so that it won't be a negative asset after packaging it like this." Alan Wilson had an idea and thought of the Ogaden War that caused Ethiopia and Somalia, two pro-Soviet countries. .

Later generations proved that the Ogaden region has no oil resources at all, but this news directly caused two pro-Soviet countries in the Horn of Africa to fight, which can be described as a very impressive operation.

Norman Brooke's eyes lit up, and he said in an approving tone, "Alan, it's a very good idea. If there is gold, the nonsense of a big country in East Africa, I mean a wonderful future, maybe it can impress Nyerere."

"This is also an accidental suggestion." Alan Wilson expressed humility. The example of the Ogaden War, the respected Sir Norman does not need to know, but it will be a matter of time before the hidden danger of the war is detonated, because the Ogaden area itself is a disputed territory.

The Ogaden area can also be called Egyptian Somalia. It used to be a part of Somalia. Somalia was divided into five parts by colonial countries such as Britain, France, and Italy. Among them, the Ogaden area with an area of ​​380,000 square kilometers was acquired in 1977. It was assigned to Italian Ethiopia, and after World War II, the area was transferred to Ethiopian control.

Valley/span>The Ogaden area is mainly populated by Somalis, and it is incompatible with Ethiopia. It was assigned to Ethiopia, and it is mainly a well-known African power in Ethiopia, so it has to give face.

"Sometimes classics are created by accident and inadvertently, and you don't have to be too modest." Norman Brook shook his head slightly and said, "Alan, your abilities don't stop there, and what is commendable is that you and the military A harmonious relationship is a more prominent advantage than many people."

The relationship between Alan Wilson and Marshal Mountbatten is also a bridge between Whitehall and the military. There is no need to avoid this point, at least Norman Brook thinks that it should not be avoided, and it should be used well.

Alan Wilson suddenly felt that his bones were lighter. Does this mean that the cabinet secretary is very optimistic about himself? Of course, he couldn't ask directly, so he could only leave Whitehall with some excitement.

After leaving Whitehall, Alan Wilson went to the Ministry of Defense in a blink of an eye, and the professionals who got rid of it produced a report on the seizure of the Lubumbashi area. Of course, it should be kept secret.

As Norman Brook said, a good relationship with the military is an important factor for Alan Wilson's reliability. With Marshal Mountbatten present, he would not be troubled by the military.

Of course, taking this opportunity, he did not forget to go back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for a face-to-face meeting, saying that he had returned to China. Macmillan is actually very happy that there is a permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs like Alan Wilson, and he goes on business trips abroad from time to time to make his life comfortable.

The foreign secretary must have misunderstood. One of the important reasons why Alan Wilson felt relieved to go abroad on business trips was because even if he was not there, foreign policy would not be dominated by the foreign secretary with an American mother. The prime minister’s interest in diplomatic work , far greater than the interest in domestic affairs.

As soon as Eden came to power, he made a solemn pledge in the House of Commons to establish consensus politics with the Conservative Party. Other adjustments to drastic nationalization, but definitely abolition. He is in charge of foreign affairs.

As for major international affairs, there is currently only one six-party talks in preparation, which has been regarded by Eden as his important achievement. Macmillan, the foreign minister, at least cannot interfere in this matter.

After finishing these things, Alan Wilson went to Hawkson's Emerald House, where his wife was enjoying the rare livable season in the UK, with her lovely children.

Arriving in Hawkson, Alan Wilson was enjoying the rare tranquility, which was temporary, and he had already vaguely felt that there would be some women on the same level as his wife coming back to find him on the rocket.

Hawkson has been bought by Pamela Mountbatten as a residence while living in the UK. There are some antiques in the emerald house, from various sources, which are used to set up a learned personality for the husband.

As the evening approached, Alan Wilson lit a bonfire in the yard, enjoying the tranquility with his family, and toasted his wife in a very original way. As for the child who had been sent back to the house, it belonged only to the husband and wife at this time.

"It's a little burnt." After drinking, Pamela Mountbatten's face was flushed, like a country girl, not at all like the president of the Concern Group who was born in a noble family and is now rich.

"I'll touch it." While speaking, Alan Wilson went straight to touch his wife's hot face, and apologized, "Honey, when you came back in the summer, I went to Africa, and I feel very sorry for it Sorry. How much I want to be by your side."

"You have your business~lightnovelpub.net~ I can understand." Pamela Mountbatten leaned on her husband's shoulder, took another sip of wine and asked, "Are you also interested in the six-party talks in Basra?" Want to go? Do you think there will be a good result?"

"Let's take one step at a time. The gap in hard power is indeed worrying. However, conservative treatment is still possible." Allen Wilson, who was possessed by the Chang Gong, explained the big idea of ​​trading space for time and making peace with the outside world first. strategy.

"There is one thing, if the Iranian oil crisis settles, the distribution of oil shares in the Middle East may enter a new stage. The current 50-50 split may become history."

"Huh? How much?" Pamela Mountbatten hummed, then looked straight at her husband.

Alan Wilson shook his head, "It's not how much it has been changed, it should be gone. In the future, if you want to make a profit, you should not make a fuss about crude oil, but think of ways to refine it."

"Huh! Huh?" Pamela Mountbatten hummed twice, then suddenly laughed, "How did your head grow, can you see the future?"

Refining facility? Isn't it already built in Singapore, is she going to take over?
