After the results of the general election and the three-month window period when he officially took office, Alan Wilson did not want to spend it in chaos. Now the most unstable place in British Africa is Tanganyika, a former German colony managed by the United Kingdom. .

Now the most powerful local elite in Tanganyika is Nyerere, who is quite famous in later generations. The Chinese people are very familiar with this name. After consulting with the foreign secretary, Alan Wilson made an invitation to Nyerere to invite this Tanga. Father Nika, talk about the future of his country.

Although Nyerere was the leader of a pro-Soviet country, from the point of view of his ruling history, he was not a radical.

The tendency to socialism is not influenced by the Soviet Union, but by the British Fabian socialism when studying in the UK.

The Fabian spirit has two main contents: First, the independent identity of intellectuals. This kind of independence is not to be left alone, but to maintain an independent identity and participate in the improvement of society. Second, incrementalism. Solutions are reached through rational thinking, but at the same time take an incremental approach, gradually and progressively.

Simply put, Fabian socialism is reformism, similar to the British Labour Party in the political spectrum. Later generations believed that the reason why Nyerere was close to the Soviet Union was very simple. Who made the brand of Soviet socialism stand out loud?

Although the Conservative Party is in power now, post-war Britain is in the framework of consensus politics. The Conservative Party can also talk about the future of British Africa, which is not only the patent of the Labour Party.

Soon, Nyerere accepted London's invitation and said that he would come to London to participate in a roundtable discussion on the future of Tanganyika.

On the other hand, Alan Wilson sincerely began to prepare for Nyerere's arrival. Europe is not the United States. After two world wars, the attitude towards public ownership is not so hostile.

There are a lot of state businesses in the UK, and Alan Wilson wanted to show that for Nyerere's arrival.

Sitting in front of the window of Hepburn's boudoir, holding a newspaper about the Republican Party's questioning of Kennedy's fraud, Alan Wilson was thinking about things that had nothing to do with the United States, and he looked like he was wandering.

"Looking at your appearance, it's hard to imagine that you are a senior foreign policy official." Hepburn, who had washed his hair, muttered dissatisfaction with the nerd in front of him with a hint of disgust in his mouth.

"I was wrong." Although he didn't know what was wrong, Alan Wilson instinctively apologized first, then mumbled, "I'm thinking about a black leader coming to London soon."

"Is it difficult to deal with?" Hepburn was stunned, and regained his understanding, not wanting his man to be troubled.

"It's not difficult to deal with, Fabian socialists, it's not a big problem to talk about how to improve. It's not a socialist in the Soviet Union, if the latter is in trouble." Alan Wilson smiled and said, "But Tanganyika's Position is important, and our original intention was to be a win-win situation."

"I took a script." Hepburn turned around and sat directly on the man's lap. "The image this time is very different from before, but I like to break through myself."

As soon as Alan Wilson heard Hepburn's narration, he knew it was the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's. This script was actually tailored for Marilyn Monroe, but Marilyn Monroe didn't want to play the role of a courtesan. This script It fell to Hepburn, "I think this will become a classic."

"Do you really think so?" Hepburn was very happy, feeling that his thoughts were appreciated.

"Of course!" Alan Wilson said impatiently. Who would have thought that a beautiful actress could be so good in her role as a bitch? This is Hepburn's classic image, "I see the day when you get a million-dollar salary is not far away."

"Million-dollar pay? Taylor has got it now." Hepburn looked indifferent, but still revealed a hint of unwillingness.

The next day, Alan Wilson got up and looked in the mirror. Looking at himself in the mirror, he muttered to himself, "I was hurt by alcohol, so I am so haggard. From today on, stop drinking!"

After the war, the United Kingdom once had a plan for the East African Federation, and wanted to establish a political entity to replace British India, as an auxiliary force of the United Kingdom, to support the United Kingdom against the United States and the Soviet Union, and to maintain the status of the United Kingdom as a global power.

However, this plan was opposed by local African elites, but in fact these African elites did not oppose the East African Federation, because the later East African Federation plan was also a plan that Tanzania, Kenya and other countries have been promoting.

In short, their objection was not to participate as a colony. Just like the Co-Prosperity Sphere, the Japanese think it should be what they say. The Chinese definitely don’t think so. What they oppose is not the Co-Prosperity Sphere, but Japan itself.

Also because of this fierce opposition, London finally approved Alan Wilson's plan to develop Malaya, and it has been implemented until now. This time Nyerere comes, it is definitely not possible to mention the East African Federation plan, and now Alan Wilson needs to do it. Yes, no one understands socialism better than him, especially the reform part.

At the beginning of November, Nyerere arrived in London on the Comet passenger plane, and officially began to discuss the issue of Tanganyika independence with the United Kingdom. This round table meeting was highly valued by Nyerere.

Alan Wilson also attaches great importance to this, and is ready to communicate with Nyerere about the future pattern of the entire African continent. If there is a win-win outcome, the merger of the Malawi colony and Tanganyika will be on the agenda.

When welcoming Nyerere at the airport, Alan Wilson took the initiative to reach out and shake hands to express his friendship, "Mr. Nyerere, welcome to London, I believe you have been looking forward to this day for a long time."

"I am really anxious about Britain's reluctance to let Tanganyika become independent." Nyerere said straightly.

"Haha, Mr. Nyerere, it's not that simple. Many things can't be done overnight, too hasty decisions. There were India and Pakistan in the past, and there is a civil war in the Congo." Alan Wilson said with a smile, "What we mean is, can A peaceful transfer of power that leaves no contradictions."

"Of course I know that many people think that the partition of India and Pakistan was the result of Britain's intentional separation. Although I argue for the United Kingdom that many countries may not agree, the United Kingdom does not have a tradition of partition. Others do not understand this, Mr. Nyerere. It should be understood, because you should have heard about the federal program in Central Africa or the federal program in East Africa, and you are still a staunch opponent."

The idea of ​​merging East Africa into one country was first proposed by the British. After the British occupied the German colony of Tanganyika, they increasingly hoped to establish an East African federation including Uganda, Kenya and Tanganyika.

"And, Mr. Nyerere? Are you really against the East African Commonwealth Plan? You are against the United Kingdom, not the East African Commonwealth Plan." Alan Wilson said in the tone of an old farmer who discerns shit, "compared to the ethereal United States of Africa, The Commonwealth of East Africa can give it a shot, you just don't want it to be successful in the UK."

Tanganyika had been opposed to the East African Federation until independence, but Nyerere's attitude towards the East African Federation changed after he gradually became the political leader of Tanganyika Africans.

Nyerere is not disapproving of the East African Federation, which is not only more feasible than the United States of Africa, but also part of the regional political integration necessary to realize the United States of Africa.

Alan Wilson, who is quitting drinking, said with a confident voice, "I have another idea to discuss with you. I hope we can all get a satisfactory result this time."

Now is the time to pack up the Malawi colony and push it to Nyerere. Things have to happen step by step. The towering tree has to grow from the sapling. The merger of the Malawi colony is the first step in the East African Federation. But Alan Wilson also wants to be the last step.

He didn't want the East African Federation to appear. Britain had a lesson on the issue of British India. It is not a good idea to merge the colonies, although it can bring about a reduction in the cost of colonial management.

When the dialogue officially opened the next day, Nyerere received a gift from Alan Wilson about the proposal to merge the Malawi colony into Tanganyika, "Mr Nyerere, this world is very realistic. There is no place for a small country at all, and if a big country on the surface has wealth that is not commensurate with its national strength, it is not only useless but also very dangerous. For example, Mr. Lumumba's Congo now, Lumumba still has the support of the Soviet Union, Isn't the country in the same civil war?"

"It's full of imperialist rhetoric~lightnovelpub.net~ Nyerere responded with cynicism.

"It's also an obvious fact. Maybe the truth is spoken in the simplest language, and that's how hurtful it is. There's nothing I can do about it."

Alan Wilson shrugged his shoulders and said in a pitying tone, "In the coming year, many colonies in French Africa have become independent, but I said that the test has just begun, do you believe it? The entire country of Guinea has been destroyed by the French Destroy, it's not about history, it's about what's happening right now."

"In terms of the population and area of ​​Malawi, even if it is independent, it is impossible to exert any influence. It must follow the behind of the neighboring big countries. Am I not realistic? From this perspective, the United Kingdom has passed the After deliberation, it was decided that the Malawi colony should be managed by Tanganyika. I wonder what Mr. Nyerere thinks?"

"Although it is a British tradition to merge colonies, I don't think there is any cost, right?" Nyerere was moved, but he did not believe that Britain would be so kind.

"Of course we have our purpose." Alan Wilson sold it for a while, and then said, "It's about the timing of independence. We still hope that Mr. Nyerere will consider it carefully."
