v2 Chapter 1071: algeria referendum

Although he didn't see the grand occasion with his own eyes, Alan Wilson can still imagine what kind of scene it was. After all, he is the last man in France, so he has the cards he should have.

"I hope that when I am not in the country, I can ask for my opinion on some matters." At the internal meeting of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Allen Wilson looked solemn, and people dare not look at the places where his eyes pass, and finally decided to do it in person. The dignified atmosphere ended, "Leave the matter in Iceland alone, I don't want to have a next time."

Iceland was banned from fishing by Alan Wilson in the European Community because of maritime delimitation issues. It has been a long time of hard life, losing the market in continental Europe, and Iceland is living in poverty with its dried salted fish.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Newfoundland has upgraded a large number of fishing equipment, and used larger and farther fishing boats to bring in greater catches to seize the European market. As for the North American market, Newfoundland has been in the past, and life has been quite good in recent years.

This can be regarded as the benefit created by his former chief executive for Newfoundland, but with the lifting of the ban, Newfoundland fishermen now have to bend down to pick up money again, ending the good days of lying down and making money.

"Notify St. John's that the UK is under political pressure from the US for the lifting of the ban this time." Alan Wilson can only try his best to remedy it now, deftly dumping the blame on the US.

However, Newfoundland's problem should not be too big. In the past Rome Olympics, the Soviet delegation surprised everyone and completed the crushing of the United States. The upset result also made Newfoundland's sports lottery full of money.

Financially, Newfoundland is no problem, and the fishing equipment in Newfoundland has been updated in the past few years, living up to the small troubles of the past. Newfoundland is not the United Kingdom, but there is no reason to give up Iceland. The conflict in the North Atlantic waters In the book, a collision in Newfoundland directly sank an Icelandic fishing boat, killing twenty Icelanders at sea.

Only after this incident did the United States mediate in North Atlantic fishery disputes. If Alan Wilson hadn't been busy dealing with the independence movement and the Six-Party Talks in African colonies this year, he would definitely be dallying with the United States.

Now that the matter has come to this point, it is useless to say anything. Alan Wilson skipped this topic and asked Dixon, the chief private secretary of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, "Is there any schedule for the minister, let's discuss it."

Dixon, who finally passed the secret channel, answered, "The minister is going to start the British Guiana independence project. Should we allow a buffer period of five years?"

"According to my previous assessment report, British Guiana is considered worthless. Direct independence without buffer!"

Alan Wilson replied without thinking, and then continued with a sudden pause, "But we still have to pay attention to some details. We have passed the rumors in the market, so it is said that the British intended to return British Guiana to Venezuela. It overcame the pressure of the United States, so it was finally allowed to establish an independent country.”

"There is some persuasiveness in saying that the merger of Malawi has only happened recently."

As for why the United Kingdom did not give Guyana to Venezia in the end, it is of course that under the pressure of the United States, Venezuela cannot be allowed to become stronger. Although Alan Wilson does not know, how strong can Latin American countries be?

The reason for this is due to the dual consideration of the history and reality of British Guiana. In history, Venezuela and Guyana, which now belong to the three countries of Britain, France and the Netherlands, belong to the same place called Spanish Guiana.

This area was originally a Spanish colony, but after repeated struggles by various Western countries in history, it actually belongs to countries and regions such as Venezuela, British Guiana, Dutch Guiana, French Guiana, and Brazil.

In Venezuela, the term "Western Guyana" refers exclusively to the area on the west bank of the Essequibo River in Guyana. Venezuela has never waived its territorial claims to the area. This is the largest territorial dispute in the world. The disputed area covers an area of ​​160,000 square kilometers, accounting for more than 60 percent of Guyana's national territory.

Venezuela was still at the end of the nineteenth century, and it was Britain's pressure to ask the United States to invoke the Monroe Doctrine. Of course, before the First World War, the United States was a fart in the eyes of the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom gave the United States face and gave Venezuela one-tenth of the disputed area. This matter ends here.

But does Alan Wilson know that later generations of Venezuela are still clinging on, and now he can give Venezuela an excuse.

Then leave Guyana's territorial dispute to the United States to deal with. The Americas belong to the Americans, and the United States should handle it as it should.

Alan Wilson is an orthodox British gentleman, laying mines before leaving is a necessary skill, and he treats them equally, and he will not look at it differently just because America is now dominated by Americans.

"Just tell the people from MI6 just like that." Alan Wilson said to Dixon, "I think if the foreign minister is going to Guyana to celebrate independence, he will definitely encounter similar problems. The minister can also be firm. Rebutting it will also help maintain the special relationship between Britain and the United States."

"I see, Executive Deputy Secretary." Dixon nodded, his face full of support for absolute authority.

After becoming the executive deputy minister, Alan Wilson naturally wanted to appoint some diplomats who had similar ideas to himself. Surreptitiously let people with special relations between Britain and the United States stand aside, so that it is easier to reach a consensus when formulating foreign policy.

This is nothing, just like Mountbatten's biggest job in the past few years is to promote the promotion of officers with aristocratic backgrounds. It is all for the long-term stability of Britain. Only the army in the hands of noble officers can be reassuring.

Only when the foreign ministry is filled with objective and neutral diplomats, will Britain not lose its calmness in foreign affairs because of its illusory special relationship.

"Any news from the Australian High Commissioner and the New Zealand High Commissioner?"

"No, Executive Undersecretary." Wick dug out the recent telegrams between the two countries and replied, "Everything is calm."

"We uphold the idea that the European Community and the Commonwealth are equally important. As a boost to the UK's take-off, the results have proved to be good. Before encountering a bottleneck, we adopt a conservative attitude to formulate foreign policy." Alan Wilson made a summary of the meeting , and then said, "The meeting is over!"

Alan Wilson was able to understand the climate that was not very friendly to people at the end of the year, and wanted to go to the warm Caribbean Sea for vacation, which was the work of witnessing Guyana's independence. For this reason, he naturally wants to create favorable conditions.

It happened that I didn't have anything to be particularly concerned about, so I told my wife that I was going to Perth to reunite the couple.

"It's really hard work by nature." In the early morning, Alan Wilson, who was about to lift his trousers and leave, lamented that he had paid too much for the UK.

"You are so busy." Hepburn pulled the quilt to cover her mouth-watering delicate body, and she seemed to mock the man's lack of greed.

"I really don't want to leave you for a day." Alan Wilson turned around and leaned closer, kissing Hepburn's cheek, "But there are indeed many things in Britain, especially in the diplomatic field, sorry. I also want to accompany my Tiffany around, but there is really no way.”

"Understood, you are busy with your work." Hepburn sighed quietly, "Take care of yourself and contact me at any time."

This is of course no problem. Even if Hepburn didn’t say so, he would do it. Who can refuse the affection of Ball Flower? Anyway, he can’t do it, and he can’t refuse Heidi Lamarr and Ingrid Bergman either. , Greta Garbo, Vivien Leigh, etc...

A few days later, Alan Wilson arrived in Perth, Australia's fastest growing city. "Every time I fly, I feel like my body is being hollowed out."

"Just take a break." Pamela Mountbatten comforted her husband knowing that he didn't like airplanes as a means of transportation.

Algiers, the capital of French Algeria and the headquarters of the Foreign Legion, was crowded with people on the first day of 1961. Countless French soldiers with live ammunition took to the streets. The whole of Algiers was in good order. Get out, go to the polls and cast your vote for the fateful future of Algeria.

Whether to become an independent country, or to be part of the glorious France, everything will be clear after today.

Not only Algiers, but citizens of various Algerian cities were also notified to go to polling places.

France had prepared secretly before, and finally chose to hold a referendum on the Algerian issue on this day.

"The referendum in Algeria that started yesterday has ended. The Paris authorities announced the results. Fifty-eight percent of the people agreed that Algeria should remain in France, and 42 percent demanded independence. The Charles de Gaulle government has recognized the validity of the referendum." sex, and respect the choices of the local people.”

"However, some countries in the Soviet bloc questioned the result of this referendum, believing that the Paris authorities manipulated the referendum. The countries that expressed protest against the result of the referendum include the Soviet Union, Italy, Yugoslavia, and Asia..."

Listening to the news broadcast by the Australian host on the TV~lightnovelpub.net~ Pamela Mountbatten glanced at her husband who was absorbed in it.

"What to do? If you want to ask, just ask." Sensing his wife's gaze, Alan Wilson said with a smile.

"Italy? How do you stand with a group of socialist countries?" Pamela Mountbatten shook her head and said, "It's too magical."

"Just look at the location of Italy. Italy also wants to build its own Mediterranean economic circle." Alan Wilson curled his lips. "It's all for its own country. There is nothing worth mentioning. The strength of the Italian Communist Party is also a reason."

"I didn't expect that the Algerian referendum still tends to stay in France? It's quite unexpected." Pamela Mountbatten was a little puzzled. "After so many years of fighting, the French still have this kind of support."

"Who knows, are those people Algerians? French immigrants from all over French Africa have been gathered in Algeria. As for the real Algerians, they might not even know about this referendum." It's getting more and more interesting."
