"I still hope that we will obediently maintain the colonial form." Nyerere snorted and said with a look of seeing through Alan Wilson, "Britain is doing everything possible to colonize Africa."

"That's not bad, but we have our reasons. In all fairness, I can find a hundred reasons for not allowing you to be independent, and each of them makes sense. From education, ethnicity, army and even geographical environment. But I Now I just want to say one thing, let us explain this problem with a businessman’s thinking.”

Alan Wilson said to Nyerere seemingly sincerely, "Do you think that any country can learn from the Soviet Union if there is a Soviet Union in the world? It has 22 million square kilometers of land, do you have it? Even if it is a merger After leaving Malawi, the land you can use to build a country is only one million square kilometers. But it is stronger than many countries in French Africa. At least your land life is still no problem, unlike Chad, which is 100 square kilometers on the surface. It is more than ten thousand square kilometers, but the whole country is supported by Lake Chad."

"If something goes wrong with Lake Chad, the whole of Chad will be waiting to eat sand, and the Sahara has no shortage of sand."

"You can use Tanganyika's resources in exchange for funds to develop the country, but who owns this market? One is the United States and the other is Europe. You won't sell resources to the Soviet Union, right? The Soviet Union has no shortage of resources, neither of which lack."

"So even if Tanganyika becomes independent, the British influence will still be there, that's a fact."

The communication between Alan Wilson and Nyerere was a dialogue based on facts. Even if Tanganyika is independent, there are not many choices. Of course, if Nyerere recognizes the RMB, it will be assumed that he has not said anything.

But what use does Tanganyika think it has? In the world, except for the US dollar and the pound, hoarding a pile of renminbi can't buy anything.

It was the first time Nyerere saw such a diplomat. In his eyes, Alan Wilson was sincere and everything he said was true. But these facts hurt his feelings greatly, "I can ask the Soviet Union for help."

"The last country that asked the Soviet Union for help was in a civil war. Even if Britain could tolerate it, the United States would do it. So starting from the facts, I hope that Mr. Nyerere will not do this, and even if he wants to do it, don't say it."

"Actually, from the point of view of the transaction, I want to exchange the land of Malawi for some time. If Tanganyika finds trouble with the British in the independent stalls of French Africa, this does not take the dignity of the United Kingdom seriously. .”

"How long is that? Five years? Ten years?" Nyerere sneered. "The people of Tanganyika can't wait that long."

"I hope it will be five years. After the end of the year, an independence agenda similar to that of Nigeria can be activated. You can command the local British civil servants in Tanganyika to conduct government operations. After five years, Tanganyika can hold general elections and become officially independent."

Alan Wilson is not embarrassed at all, he is for this purpose, "We, the United Kingdom, must prove to be stronger than France. So hasty independence is not an option for the United Kingdom. If Mr. Nyerere is willing to cooperate, he will get a lot of help from the United Kingdom , including but not limited to economic, military and even a series of support.”

Nyerere didn't answer, and fell into thinking. Alan Wilson went further, "Your Excellency's itinerary in the UK has been arranged. Of course, I also hope to visit Nigeria and the Gold Coast. The West African colonies have entered the independence agenda." Early, the current construction may provide you with some ideas for building Tanganyika. In fact, we really have an economic plan covering the entire East Africa. If Mr. Nyerere wants, I can give you a copy."

Nyerere was of course very interested, so Alan Wilson gave Nyerere a small, 450-page, very detailed East Africa economic development plan for the railway construction and development plan in the Great Lakes region of Africa. But relying on Tanganyika itself, it is 100% impossible to handle.

Today’s Britain cannot do it. In the 19th century, “the poorest patriots in the East End of London will involuntarily puff up their chests when they think of British industry and wealth.” Industrial power.

But in front of Nyerere, it is still possible to pretend to be an old industrial powerhouse. Alan Wilson almost included all the companies and industries currently available in the UK in Nyerere's tour itinerary. He said nothing It is better to let Nyerere feel the gap for himself, and then make a judgment.

"Executive Undersecretary, will this be a little bit?" Chief Private Secretary Wick hesitated, feeling that the scale of opening up was too large.

"What's there? As far as the level of black people is concerned, you can copy it at a glance?" Alan Wilson grinned. "It's really surprising that black people have this level. Anyone can learn from the Soviet Union?"

In the field of reverse engineering, only one country had this capability during the Cold War, and that was the Soviet Union, the leader of the hostile camp. If there is still half, add a certain big country that is slamming the Soviet Union.

Alan Wilson does not think that Tanganyika, which is not considered powerful in Africa in later generations, has this ability.

"Make good use of our business power, which is one of the factors that make us stand out from the agricultural era." Alan Wilson said to Wick, "You accompany Nyerere around, remember to maintain respect for him, say It’s not certain when he will be the leader of a country, and being able to establish a personal relationship is also good for your future.”

"We really let go of Africa?" Wick couldn't believe it, "Five million square kilometers of land."

"Who made our population not dominant? That opportunity has passed." Alan Wilson sighed. The attempt by the European colonial countries to occupy the magpie's nest was ultimately unsuccessful.

In fact, the reason why Europe slaps other civilizations is very simple, the direct consequence of population crushing.

It is true that no country in Europe has the population of the Qing Dynasty, but the population of any country in Europe has an absolute advantage over places other than the Qing Dynasty.

Take the Ottoman Empire before its collapse as an example. The population of the Ottoman Empire was only 20 million. The population of Europe and even Italy was larger than that of the Ottoman Empire. This is still the population size of the hegemon in the Near East.

The combined population of the entire Black Africa is equivalent to one of Britain, France and Germany, not to mention the division of Africa, Britain, France and Germany.

As for the reason why the Qing Dynasty was not treated as a colony, the simplest reason is that the population is too large and it is under the management of a central government.

India has been splitting up all the time. It took Britain more than a hundred years to establish British India. The same tricks could not deal with the Qing Dynasty.

Even now, the population of Tanganyika is less than 10 million, and the population of the interior of Africa is even smaller. But Alan Wilson knows that Africa's population growth far exceeds that of other continents,

The cabinet and Whitehall are also very concerned about Nyerere's arrival this time. Recently, Norman Brook always asks Alan Wilson to sit down at No. 70 Whitehall to ask if there is any progress.

"What do you think of the future of Tanganyika?" Norman Brook asked, "Can it become a country close to Britain?"

"It may be more difficult to bind economically and politically, unless we interfere with French African countries at any time like France. However, Sunnibal is in our hands, and it is not too difficult to balance offshore." Allen Wilson thought while answering, "It is for this reason that Sunnibal was kept. Its largest city, Dar es Salaam, is facing the garrison in Sunnibal. If you want to come to Tanganyika, you will be considered independent. And won't fall out with us."

"If I were Nyerere, I would ask if I could merge with Sunnyvale." Norman Brooke said with a smile.

"Even if we agree, Egypt and Iraq will not agree. Although Europe's reputation may not be very good because of the colonial era, it does not mean that other countries do not discriminate against blacks. Don't look at the Soviet Union and China far away. If they had nothing to do they would see black people wandering around and it would explode. Not to mention Arabs."

What Alan Wilson said was categorical. Many things stand on the moral high ground and criticize the colonization, but because they did not catch up. Alan Wilson has always believed that once a mainland country adopts an expansion strategy, it will not be 100%, 90%. The possibility of expansion will become Zhungeer.

When the two were discussing the future of Tanganyika, Nyerere was visiting the production line of the Comet airliner. From this, we can see how sincere Alan Wilson is. Even in the 21st century, large aircraft have high technological content. industry. Boeing and Airbus represent the cutting-edge industry dichotomy of the United States and the European Union, respectively.

The Comet Airliner is the property of Pamela Mountbatten, and the people here naturally knew who arranged for Nyerere to come here~lightnovelpub.net~ The person in charge looked elegant and easy-going, and took Nyerere to visit the British Empire Industrial pride.

"Mr. Nyerere, no offense intended, but I can proudly say that only three countries in the world have such strength."

Nyerere, who had been silent all this time, asked back, "Which three countries!"

"Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union." The person in charge of the production line in overalls said with a confident smile, "Without decades of industrial accumulation, such an industry would not be possible. This is also the cornerstone of the British Empire in this world."

The proud person in charge certainly didn't know that if it wasn't for his boss's husband, the so-called pride of the Comet Airliner would have been defeated by Boeing long ago, so what is the pride of the British Empire?

Nyerere visited airplanes, automobiles, biological laboratories, and various itinerary items. He was very interested at the beginning, and then became reticent. Britain opened these cutting-edge industries to him without any scruples, which made him enthusiastic His heart was poured a basin of cold water.

Compared with Britain, which owns these industries, Tanganyika does not seem to live on the same earth, the gap is too far.
