"You don't really think that the world is eternal, do you? Planting trees in Canada, as a result, the old events of the ironclad era will not be forgotten so quickly." Alan Wilson teased an example.

During the Napoleonic Wars, because of the continental blockade policy, the British Navy's battleships had a big problem. The battleships were giant beasts that devoured the top wood.

Take Nelson's Victory, for example, its keel is made of teak and the rest of it is made of oak. A total of more than 2,500 hundred-year-old giant trees were consumed, and 240,000 square meters of forest area had to be cut down.

During the Napoleonic Wars, Britain lost its timber imports from the European continent and had to use native timber. As a result, almost the entire country's oak was cut down, and even small saplings were not spared.

Fortunately, after the Battle of Trafalgar, the British navy won maritime supremacy. In order to maintain the scale of its fleet, the British Navy has planted trees all over the world. They have encapsulated all the forests in northern Europe and other places, and have also been planting oak in Canada for decades.

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

For the United States to participate in the Six-Party Talks, it is not that it has no cards to play. For example, if the United States wants to harm others and not itself, it can completely propose to return the oil to the host country. In the Six-Party Talks, it will be returned to Iran.

The United Kingdom can naturally refuse, but it must be difficult to talk about. Of course, before World War II, the United Kingdom could choose to start from its position of strength and regard the United States' proposal as a fart.

But now it is the United States that starts from its position of strength. The United Kingdom itself is not as strong as the United States, and it is morally untenable. Even if the Six-Party Talks start, the effect may not be good.

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

"Then what's the use of you to start the Six-Party Talks if you waste so much heart." Pamela Mountbatten looked at her husband with some affection. Her man worked so hard, but was still doing nothing?

"The effect is to delay time, as I just said, the world is changing every day." Alan Wilson explained as if he knew it couldn't be done, "If you do nothing, the United States will think that We are weak, and it is definitely not just one Iran that has been lost."

After so many years, although 7 million square kilometers of colonies have been lost, the UK is not the UK in the early post-war period.

Even if the crude oil share is terminated, it is not a disadvantage, it is nothing more than an additional process. From crude oil revenue to refining revenue. Although some countries are blessed with high-quality crude oil, they can be directly added to the machine for use. However, there are not many such countries, and the major industrial powers have very few crude oil reserves of this quality.

If you get stuck in refining oil, you can still make a lot of profit. In the industrial age, the strengths and weaknesses are clearly defined, and there is no problem with this technology.

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

"I've always listened to you. When did I never do what you said?" Pamela Mountbatten blushed brightly, he hesitated, it was getting late, should he do something serious?

After a few months of separation, the female president has a lot of enthusiasm to express to her husband. For this lowly social public tool, she can only bear the peonies in full bloom. She hugs her wife and goes back to the house to rest. blend.

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

"The eggs are about to be stuffed in. Now what to say respect me." Pamela Mountbatten directly lifted the mask of her husband's hypocrisy. When she was about to get out of bed, her arms were like tongs to prevent her from letting her Move on, and now I'm concerned about the consumption of older mothers and children.

The Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs blushed. The little girl of the past has grown up, and now the same coaxing words are no longer useful. There is no other way to do this. Alan Wilson, who has torn off the mask of hypocrisy, reveals his true nature and is vicious. Let his wife know who has the final say in this family, "Proud Deputy Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will never tolerate the restraint of freedom."

Ai Zhongtang has always been righteous, and no one can wrong his brother, whether it is the princess or the prime minister, the richest man or the actress.

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

In August, Central Africa, Chad, Congo-Brazzaville, Gabon, and Mali became independent in succession. Nearly ten new independent countries have emerged in Africa in the past month. The year of African independence is well-deserved.

Alan Wilson is not idle either. He is now agitating for Foreign Secretary Macmillan to merge the department headed by the Commonwealth Office, which is the minister Duncan, who unfortunately died in Somaliland.

"The colonies in French Africa have been 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 of this idea, with a selfless look for the national interest, "This way It can also increase the responsibility of the minister, and I don't know if it is appropriate."

Speaking of power as responsibility, this change made Macmillan quite useful, and he said without objection, "I have no problem personally, my body is quite good. But it depends on the Prime Minister's thoughts. By the way, Ellen What have you been up to lately?"

After Alan Wilson returned home, he seemed quite tired, and Macmillan seldom saw this deputy secretary.

Of course the ladies who are busy with their wives ride the rocket! But Macmillan is not fit to know.

Alan Wilson answered righteously, "I'm 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."

"Yeah, it involves the security of South Sudan, Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania." Macmillan nodded.

"And Malawi." Alan Wilson added, then continued, "We tried to organize an East African regional cooperation platform, of course, this has nothing to do with the East African Federal Plan. It is a platform to strengthen regional economic cooperation. To focus Efforts to develop the resources of the Great Lakes region.”

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

The core of British Africa is here. Although the Gold Coast of 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 combined, 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 operating core of the African strategy of a major power and a powerful power in later generations.

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

And Britain, not France, doesn't hold everything in its hands. British Africa did not always have coups like French Africa.

Macmillan was also very interested in Alan Wilson's so-called plan to run East Africa, and asked about the specific steps, and then he saw a plan that could be called a grand blueprint, "Is it too grand?"

Alan Wilson took out a railway plan, including the north-south railway construction plan for Northern Rhodesia and Tanzania, and an East African Coastal Railway construction plan, one north-south and one east-west, to connect Lake Victoria. The cherished resources around are evenly distributed.

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

Since it is only responsible for planning, why can't it be done with satellites? When you are independent, the UK will naturally have no responsibility. Who made you independent? Even Alan Wilson has already figured out how to eat two of the fish. 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 in the area. Nehru pretended not to be dead at all. It is not too much to let India play an international role and build a railway connecting Kenya to Uganda and Tanzania?"

Allen Wilson said confidently, "If the Six-Party Talks hadn't been held soon~lightnovelpub.net~ is still in use in India, all the Indians in Kenya should have been expelled back to the country. If India's support for the United Kingdom was not resolute at the Basra Conference, there would be no The attitude we want, then the Indians in Kenya are useless. As long as it is a British colony that has not yet become independent, the Indians will get out."

"Usually in the field of diplomacy, we don't understand what we say so clearly." Macmillan pondered for a while and spoke slowly, "But if it is true that the major local ethnic groups cannot accept Indians living with them, then there is nothing we can do."

"It's like Mr. Jinnah doesn't want to co-exist in a country with Hindus." Alan Wilson understood and took back the development plan of the Great Lakes Region in Africa, and he still had to revise it.

And the colonial commissioners are now also straining a string because of the wave of French independence in Africa, lest something happen to the colonies they manage.

Alan Wilson is not worried at least for now. The United States needs the help of the United Kingdom recently. When the US election is over, it will continue to be free to think about his father's legacy.

But having said that, it's always good to be careful, and Alan Wilson sent terse telegrams to high commissioners everywhere, "Be wary of France playing the independence card."
