"You don't really think that the world is eternal, do you? Afforestation in Canada, the ironclad age of the past, will not be forgotten so quickly." Alan Wilson teased an example.

During the Napoleonic Wars, due to the continental blockade policy, the British Navy's battleships had major problems. The battleships were giant beasts that devoured top timber.

Take Nelson's "Victory" as an example, its keel is made of teak, and all other parts are made of oak. A total of more than 2,500 century-old giant trees were consumed, and a forest area of ​​240,000 square meters needed to be cut down.

During the Napoleonic Wars, Britain lost timber imports from the European continent and had to use local timber. As a result, almost all oak trees in the country were cut down, even small saplings were not spared.

Fortunately, after the Battle of Trafalgar, the British Navy won maritime supremacy. In order to maintain their fleet size, the British Navy planted trees all over the world. They surrounded all the forests in northern Europe and other places, and they also planted oak in Canada for decades.

As a result, the era of sailing has passed, and Britain's move to safeguard sea power has really become a public welfare activity.

The United States participates in the Six-Party Talks, and it is not without cards to play. For example, if the United States wants to harm others and benefit itself, it can completely propose to return the oil to the country where it is located. In the Six-Party Talks, it is returned to Iran.

Britain can naturally refuse, but it is inevitable that this is not easy to talk about. Of course, before World War II, Britain could choose to start from its position of strength and regard the proposal of the United States as fart.

But now it is the United States that is starting from its status of strength. Britain itself is not as powerful as the United States. If it is morally untenable, even if the six-party talks start, the effect may not be good.

If Iran's oil share cannot be kept, there is naturally no reason to maintain the original 50-50 share in other countries in the Persian Gulf. This will only shake Britain's indirect rule in the Persian Gulf.

"Then what's the use of you wasting so much effort to get the Six-Party Talks going." Pamela Mountbatten looked at her husband lovingly. Her man worked so hard, but he still did nothing?

"The function is to delay time. As I just said, the world is changing every day." Alan Wilson explained with a look of knowing that nothing can be done, "If you don't do anything, the United States will think We are weak and we will lose more than just Iran."

After so many years, although we have lost 7 million square kilometers of colonies, the UK is not the same as the UK in the early post-war period. What should be fought for can no longer be left alone.

Even if the crude oil share is terminated, it is not a disadvantage, it is nothing more than an extra process. From the original crude oil income to oil refining income. Although in some countries with unique advantages, the crude oil extracted is of high quality and can be directly added to the machine for use, but there are not many such countries after all, and there are very few major industrial countries with crude oil reserves of this quality.

If you get stuck in the oil refining hurdle, you can also make a lot of profits. The industrial age is strong and weak, and there is no problem with this technology.

Oil is not as concentrated and easy to control as iron ore, so it is not difficult to find a way to get around it.

"I've always listened to you. When did I not follow what you said?" Pamela Mountbatten blushed, hesitated to speak, it was getting late, shouldn't it be time to do something serious.

After a few months, the female CEO has a lot of enthusiasm to express to her husband. For this, the humble social organ can only bear the peonies in full bloom. She hugs her wife and goes back to the house to rest. By the way, she checks if the children are asleep. Blend.

Afterwards, Alan Wilson hugged his wife's delicate body and sincerely apologized, "If you have another child, it is already a burden on your body. I am still too selfish."

"The eggs are almost stuffed in, so what do you say to respect me now." Pamela Mountbatten directly uncovered her husband's hypocritical mask, and when she was about to push herself off the bed, her arms were like iron clamps to prevent her Let’s move on, and now we are talking about the consumption of older women giving birth.

The deputy secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs blushed. The little girl back then had grown up, and now the same deceitful words are no longer useful. At this point, there is no other way. Alan Wilson, who tore off the mask of hypocrisy, exposed his true nature and was vicious. Let his wife know who has the final say in this family, "The proud executive deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will never tolerate the restraint of freedom."

Ai Zhongtang has always been loyal to Yuntian, no one can wrong his brother, no matter if it is the princess or the prime minister, the richest man or the actress.

The earth keeps turning without anyone, and the Year of African Independence is coming at a vigorous pace. Just before Alan Wilson returned to London, the Republic of Dahomey, which later became the Republic of Benin, became independent. Two days later, Niger became independent. , Two days later, the Republic of Upper Volta, namely Burkina Faso, and Ivory Coast declared their independence on the same day.

In August, Central Africa, Chad, Congo-Brazzaville, Gabon, and Mali became independent one after another. In the past month, nearly ten new independent countries have emerged in Africa. The Year of African Independence is well-deserved.

Alan Wilson is not idle either. He is now encouraging Foreign Secretary Macmillan to merge the Commonwealth Affairs Department, which is the department led by Minister Duncan who unfortunately died in Somaliland.

"French Africa's colonies have become independent one after another, and diplomatic work should also adapt to the changes of the times. Our challenges are still quite daunting." Alan Wilson told Macmillan this idea, with a look of selflessness for the national interest, "in this way You can also increase the responsibility of ministers, I don't know if it is appropriate."

Referring to power as a responsibility, this change made McMillan very useful, and he said without objection, "I have no problem personally, and my health is quite good. But it depends on the prime minister's thoughts. By the way, Alan What have you been up to lately?"

After Alan Wilson returned to China, he seemed quite tired, and McMillan rarely saw this executive deputy secretary.

Ladies of the same status as their wives are busy riding rockets of course! But Macmillan was not fit to know.

Alan Wilson answered righteously, "I am thinking about how the British colonies should deal with the impact because of the independence of French Africa. Especially to avoid the impact of British East Africa."

"Yes, it involves the security of South Sudan, Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania." McMillan nodded.

"And Malawi." Alan Wilson added, and then continued, "We are trying to organize a platform for regional cooperation in East Africa. Of course, this has nothing to do with the East African Federation plan. It is a platform to strengthen regional economic cooperation. It is used to focus Focus on developing resources in the Great Lakes region.”

The Great Lakes region of Africa refers to the countries around Lake Victoria, which is the most resource-rich region in Africa.

The core of British Africa is here. Although the Gold Coast in West Africa is rich in gold and Nigeria has the largest population, it is still incomparable with the African Great Lakes countries in terms of value.

Africa does not lack some countries that are extremely rich in minerals, but the Great Lakes region has everything. If these countries are united, they will not be worse than South Africa, and they will surpass South Africa in terms of resource types.

The Great Lakes region of East Africa is also the business core of a great power in later generations and the African strategy of a great power.

Although there are sequelae left by colonization here, it is not like the slave trade that destroyed the social structure in West Africa.

Moreover, Britain is not France, and it will not hold everything in its hands. British Africa was not always subject to coups like French Africa was.

McMillan was also very interested in Alan Wilson's so-called plan to operate East Africa. He asked about the specific steps, and then he saw a plan that could be called a grand blueprint. "Isn't it too grand?"

Allen Wilson took out a copy of the railway plan, including the north-south North Rhodesia and Tanzania railway construction plans, and an East African coastal railway construction plan, one north-south and one east-west, to connect Lake Victoria. The precious resources around are evened out.

"Minister, this is just a plan at the moment." Alan Wilson replied indifferently, who said that the railway must be built in the UK? The United Kingdom is only responsible for providing the plan, and naturally other countries will help build it.

Since it is only responsible for making plans, why can't it be a little bit more satellite? When you become independent, the UK will naturally have no responsibility. Whoever made you independent? Even Alan Wilson has already figured out how to get one fish for two. The two railways can be contracted out separately, one for a certain big country and the other for a famous big country. .

"Take Kenya as an example. There are hundreds of thousands of Indians there. Nehru pretended to be dead without saying anything. Is it not too much for India to use its internationalism to build a railway connecting Uganda and Tanzania in Kenya?"

Allen Wilson is justified ~lightnovelpub.net~ If the Six-Party Talks were not held soon, and India is still used now, all Indians in Kenya should be directly deported back to the country. If India's support for Britain is not firm and does not have the attitude we want at the Basra Conference, then the Indians in Kenya will be useless. As long as it is a British colony that has not yet become independent, Indians will get out. "

"Generally in the field of diplomacy, we don't make it so clear." McMillan pondered for a while and said softly, "But if the main local ethnic group really cannot accept Indians living with us, then we have nothing to do."

"It's like Mr. Jinnah doesn't want to coexist in the same country with Hindus." Alan Wilson understood it and directly took back the development plan for the Great Lakes region in Africa, and he still had to revise it.

And the colonial commissioners are now tense because of the wave of independence in French Africa, lest something will happen to the colonies they manage.

Alan Wilson is not worried at least for now. The United States needs help from the United Kingdom recently. What will happen until the US general election is over before he will continue to have time to think about his father's legacy.

But having said that, it is always right to be careful. Alan Wilson sent a succinct telegram to the high commissioners everywhere, "Be wary of France playing the independence card."
