After the results of the general election and the three-month vacancy period until 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 under the trusteeship of 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 discussing with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Alan Wilson invited Nyerere to invite this Tanga Father Nika, talk about the future of his country.

Although Nyerere was the leader of a pro-Soviet country, judging from his history in power, he was not a radical.

The leaning toward socialism was not influenced by the Soviet Union, but was influenced by British Fabian socialism when I was studying in the UK.

The Fabian spirit has two main contents: 1. The independent identity of intellectuals. This kind of independence is not independence from the world, but to maintain an independent identity and participate in the improvement of society. Second, gradualism. Find solutions through rational thinking, but at the same time adopt a gradual attitude, gradual and progressive.

Simply put, Fabian socialism belongs to reformism, which is similar to the British Labor Party on 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 resoundingly.

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

Soon, Nyerere accepted the invitation from London, saying that he would come to London to participate in a roundtable meeting to discuss 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 is a large amount of national enterprise in the UK, and Alan Wilson wanted to show this side, and used it to welcome Nyerere.

Sitting in front of the window of Hepburn's boudoir, holding a newspaper about the Republican Party's suspicion of Kennedy's fraud in his hand, Alan Wilson was thinking about things that had nothing to do with the United States, looking like he was in a trance.

"Looking at you, it's hard to imagine that you are a high-ranking foreign policy official." After washing her hair, Hepburn murmured dissatisfied with the idiot in front of her with a trace of disgust in her mouth.

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

"Is it difficult to deal with?" Hepburn was taken aback, and regained her understanding, not wanting to be bothered by her man.

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

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

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

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

"Of course!" Alan Wilson said impatiently. Who would have thought that a female movie star who played a bitch-like role could be so good? This is Hepburn's classic image, "I think the day when you get a million dollars is not far away."

"Millions of salary? Taylor has already got it now." Hepburn looked nonchalant, but still revealed a hint of unwillingness to let others down.

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 and sex, and I was so haggard. From today, I will stop drinking!"

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

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

Simply put, their objection was that they could not participate as a colony. Just like the Co-Prosperity Sphere, the Japanese think that what they say should have the final say, but the Chinese definitely don’t think so. What is opposed 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's arrival certainly cannot mention the East African Federation plan. 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 Airliner, and formally began discussions with the United Kingdom on the issue of Tanganyika's independence. This round table meeting was highly valued by Nyerere.

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

When welcoming Nyerere at the airport, Alan Wilson offered to 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 delay in making Tanganyika independent," Nyerere said bluntly.

"Haha, Mr. Nyerere, it's not that simple. Many things can't be done overnight. Too hasty decisions. There were India and Pakistan before, and now the civil war in Congo." Alan Wilson said with a smile, "What we mean is that we can A peaceful transfer of power without leaving conflicts."

"Of course I know that many people think that the Partition of India and Pakistan is the result of Britain's deliberate separation. Although I defend Britain, many countries may not agree, but Britain does not have a tradition of partition. Others don't understand this, Mr. Nyerere You should understand, because you should have heard of both the Central African Federation plan and the East African Federation plan, and you are 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 Federation plan? What you are against is the United Kingdom, not the East African Federation plan." Alan Wilson said in an old farmer's tone, "Compared to the illusory United States of Africa, The East African Federation could try, you just don't want the UK to make it happen."

Tanganyika had always opposed the East African Federation before independence, but after Nyerere gradually became the political leader of Africans in Tanganyika, his attitude towards the East African Federation changed.

Nyerere does not disagree with the East African Federation, which is not only more feasible than the United African United States, but also part of the regional political integration that the United African United States must go.

Alan Wilson, who is quitting alcohol, said with confidence, "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 be done step by step. The towering tree has to grow from a small sapling. Merging the Malawi colony is the first step of the East African Federation. But Alan Wilson also hopes to be the last step.

He does not want the East African Federation to appear. Britain has learned a lesson on the issue of British India. Merging colonies is not a good way, although it can reduce the cost of colony management.

When the dialogue officially started the next day, Nyerere received a big gift package from Alan Wilson, regarding the proposal of the Malawi colony being merged into Tanganyika, "Mr. Nyerere, this world is very realistic. Yes, there is no place for a small country at all, and if a superficially big country has wealth that is not commensurate with its national strength, it will not only be useless but also very dangerous, such as Mr. Lumumba’s Congo now. Lumumba has the support of the Soviet Union. Isn't the country caught in a civil war?"

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

"It's also an obvious fact. Maybe the truth is said in the simplest language, which is so hurtful. There is nothing I can do about it."

Alan Wilson shrugged and said in a compassionate tone, "In the past year, many colonies in French Africa have become independent, but I say that the test has just begun. Does Nyerere believe it? The entire country of Guinea has been taken over by the French. Destroy, this is not talking about history, but what is happening now."

"Based on the population and size of Malawi, even if it is independent, it is impossible to exert any influence. It must also follow behind the neighboring countries. Isn't what I said realistic? From this point of view, after the British After consideration, it was decided to let the Malawi colony be managed by Tanganyika, what does Mr. Nyerere think?"

"Although merging colonies is a British tradition, I don't think it's free, right?" Nyerere was moved, but he didn't believe that Britain would be so kind.

"Of course we have our purpose." Alan Wilson made a fool of himself, and then said, "As for the issue of independence, we still hope that Mr. Nyerere will carefully consider it."
