Even if he got off work early, after returning home, Allen Wilson still received a call from the duty officer of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and learned that Grace in Northern Rhodesia had entered the Congo with the assembled Slavic armed forces.

Now that he knew, this matter could not be hidden from the cabinet. Putting down the phone, Alan Wilson thought about how to answer when asked about his opinion, and most importantly, whether he would be involved.

This should not be the case, although these Slavs were sent to Northern Rhodesia by himself. But in the chaos of the early post-war period, no one would figure out the truth of what happened at that time, and neither could the Americans.

Strictly speaking, those anti-Tito elements traveled through the US-occupied area at that time, and the Americans were arranged to be in Northern Rhodesia because they were afraid of causing dissatisfaction with the Soviet Union and being forcibly digested by these people in the UK.

No matter how you look at it, the Americans are more responsible, and Britain has to accept these unstable factors.

"What happened to North Rhodesia?" Pamela Mountbatten also heard her husband's conversation and asked about the specific situation.

"Well, the Slavs gathered and intervened in the Congo Civil War." Allen Wilson told his wife truthfully.

"A lot of people will die?" Pamela Mountbatten was a little worried, and I was disturbed by the tragic prospect of the war.

"That's not a big deal." Alan Wilson comforted with a smile. He was smiling. Essentially, he lacked a kind of sympathy, so how many people would die, he didn't even have a thought in his heart. People are inherently dead.

In terms of the number of deaths caused by wars, a certain big country has repeatedly broken world records. As long as you understand a little bit, looking at other statistics will become a small scene.

There are fifteen million people in the Congo, and the main concentration area must be near Kinshasa on the lower Congo River.

The entire Katanga province has about 600,000 square kilometers, and it would be good to have three to four million people. Taking the area south of Lubumbashi means expelling hundreds of thousands of tribal people proportionally.

Even if these Balkan Slavs were cruel and killed everyone, it is not worth making a fuss about breaking the sky.

"It's fine if you think it's okay." Pamela Mountbatten couldn't guess her husband's essentially ruthless personality, and just thought that the matter was really not serious. "The turmoil in the colonies, as long as it doesn't affect Malaya."

"Acting impulsively when the head is hot, any ethnicity may do this, but the possibility of the Chinese is the lowest." Alan Wilson knew what his wife was worried about, and patted his chest and assured, "Relax, nothing will happen. .”

Alan Wilson was thinking about the comparison between Britain and France. Even if France took over Algeria, as long as Britain could keep Northern Rhodesia, it would still be stronger than France.

Because in terms of effective area, the United Kingdom still surpasses France. Northern Rhodesia has a lot of livable land, and the plateau is not a tropical rainforest climate. The only weakness is that it is an inland colony, which is not as convenient as the coast of Algeria.

Geographical environment plays a big role. Even if East Asians who boast of being hardworking and willing to work are placed in Niger or Mali, the local living standards will not change much.

Britain is not a colony without a good geographical environment. Malaya is located in a well-connected location and can shoulder another part of the role. Of course, the most important role is to resist the rise of Japan.

Now Japan is in the midst of the so-called demographic dividend, that is, the labor force that does not worry about hard work and sheds blood for the country, but this is not impossible to resist. If Malaya gains more benefits, Japan's sea operations will fail more. The demographic dividend cannot last forever.

One generation can work hard, so can the second generation? What's more, the previous generation struggled when they were young, and they wanted to occupy the latrines in middle age without shitting. As long as the momentum of Japan's rise is curbed even a little bit, the accumulation of decades will be enough to make Japan run out of fuel.

Compared with the late-developing countries in East Asia, Europe still has money to eat. What's more, now Allen Wilson has begun to cooperate with other European countries to build patent barriers to block the pace of Japan's industrial upgrading.

Allen Wilson is even ready for a price war, and must put a brake on Japan's development.

Of course, the United States can continue to open its market and continue to support Japan, even if the Americans want it, there is nothing they can do.

Grace's current action is to lead the Balkan warriors to intervene in the Congolese civil war in the name of the original Katangan warlord Tshombe. At this time, he also understands in his heart that it is not time to open his mouth to annex it.

Our own troops still have to prepare, and some military supplies are still in the process of being transported, and we will wait until everything is ready. When Chong Bo is no longer useful, it's not too late to turn his back on him.

In sub-Saharan Africa, the harsh climate makes survival one of the greatest tests that humans, animals and plants must face.

Grace will not learn from South Africa. North Rhodesia deeply believes that although South Africa seems to be very strong now, it will be a matter of time before the volcanic eruption will swallow the Boers.

The Boers always take it for granted that the aboriginal butcher knives and bullets cannot hit them, and those who can enjoy a superior life contentedly can naturally say that they want to be magnanimous to the aboriginals. The colonies of South Africa have nothing to do with these people. If the action of sending troops to wipe out the aborigines is discovered, it will only usher in hypocritical criticism and criticism.

For a long time, some people seemed to hope to profit by keeping the natives primitive. Grace would rather not have these cheap labor and develop slowly, but at least the results are his own, and he will not give the accumulated wealth to the local aborigines for nothing one day.

Similarly, the top leaders of the two major military organizations also knew in their hearts that with a base of less than a million people, they must need a country as their backing, and independence is irrelevant. The key is whether you can live your own life quietly. There are two problems. The border of Northern Rhodesia is very unfriendly. Only when the salient is occupied can the gate be closed.

The other is that Northern Rhodesia is landlocked, so to live a good life, you must take a risky military operation, even if you face Tito's advisory group again.

In the resting camp, Grace inspected the barracks, and people stood up and said hello everywhere he passed. Grace said to the people around him as he walked, "Everyone has come from a long way, how can we do it without taking a serious look? Raising soldiers for a thousand days , use the army for a while, we train for such a long time, if we don’t even get any land, wouldn’t it be a waste of money and manpower?”

No one else dared to refute Grace's words. These people were gathered together and were willing to fight against the natives because of their own security issues. This is the consensus of the military. After this battle, what awaits everyone is a life of no worries about food and clothing.

There is no need to have scruples to start, this is what Grace himself said. Most of the people who took part in this operation are not innocent, they all have more or less unbearable pasts, and the war itself is no stranger to them.

"Now I believe that I should be happy to go out of Tshombe and contact the Belgian expats after arriving in Lubumbashi. Whether we can succeed depends on whether they will stand with us." Grace raised his wrist and looked at the time , "I hope to arrive in Lubumbashi within three days. Immediately send people to survey the terrain and mark out our land that is only temporarily controlled by Tshombe. Once we turn our backs, we will start mining immediately."

Alan Wilson, waking up to work early in the morning, yawned as he listened to the sudden events in Northern Rhodesia. Compared with his listlessness, Macmillan is obviously much more energetic, and he also expressed a lot of concern.

"A call from No. 10 Downing Street." Just as Alan Wilson said that this was a matter for the Colonial Department, the Prime Minister's call had already come to the door, and Macmillan had to stand up, "Alan, come with me to No. 10."

"Yes, Minister." Alan Wilson said in a duty-bound tone, and drove to No. 10 Downing Street together.

If the action in Northern Rhodesia happened in Japan, it can be explained in one sentence. However, the United Kingdom does not face many such things. Originally, the independence of Southern Rhodesia was of a similar nature, which caught the United Kingdom by surprise.

But now that Southern Rhodesia is not yet independent, Northern Rhodesia has set a precedent.

At No. 10 Downing Street, McMillan and the Prime Minister were discussing some boring countermeasures. Alan Wilson's eyes were at the same level, as if he would accept the call of sleepiness at any time.

"Alan, you have also dealt with a lot of African affairs, don't you have anything to say?" Aiden asked.

"Dear Prime Minister, the thing that can attract the attention of all countries at present is the mobilization order of France. The matter in Northern Rhodesia is not noticeable. How can a colony attract more attention than France." Alan Wilson said this The topic changed, "We will also take this opportunity to see the reaction of the United States~lightnovelpub.net~ If a friendly atmosphere towards the United Kingdom can be established in Katanga, then at least part of this African mine will become an increase for the United Kingdom. A bargaining chip of strength."

"If it doesn't go well, let's just say we don't know about it. Anyway, with France rushing ahead, we can take advantage of the opportunity to operate. It's good to get benefits. Even if we don't get it, we won't lose anything."

Alan Wilson talked eloquently, and this also has an explanation for France. You see, as a colonial country, it is not just you who did it. My Great Britain has also tried its best to sublimate it this time, and may be able to establish a restricted area.

I believe that France has nothing to criticize. Aiden nodded. The colonial policy depends on whether France can quell the war in Algeria this time. If Algeria fails to become independent, Britain will naturally not let the important colonies become independent. :.

"However, those Slavs should also know that we cannot ignore our opinions." Aiden said.

Alan Wilson understood in seconds, and suggested, "I don't know if there are any redbeard tactical nuclear bombs in the country? You can send a batch there. Of course, I'm talking about sending them secretly." To provide you with the fastest update of British civil servants, the first Chapter 1096 Pretending to be ignorant is free to read. :.
