v2 Chapter 661: get rid of him

"In fact, the situation here is better, and the independence movement on the Gold Coast is more powerful." Ingram frowned, "Nkrumah is also more difficult to deal with than Azikwe, after all, his authority on the Gold Coast is greater than Azik's. Kway is much taller."

"Gold Coast is my next stop, difficult to deal with?" Alan Wilson frowned slightly, "I don't want to take tough measures, but if necessary, I have a good relationship with Mikhailovich of Northern Rhodesia. You can use it when necessary. Ingram, you know, flying to Northern Rhodesia is not a safe means of transportation.”

Of course, Alan Wilson still doesn't want to make trouble to that level. If he can talk about it, he can talk about it and he can be patriotic.

But after listening to Ingram's words, especially after Alan Wilson heard about Nkrumah's words about socialism, he changed his mind unknowingly.

The leader of the independence movement on the Gold Coast is actually less accessible than Azikwe and may lead to the Soviet Union. In the current Gold Coast, because of its own gold resources, it is a very rich colony in Africa. The foreign exchange reserves of the Gold Coast Colony are £200 million.

Of course, this is in exchange for the gold of the Gold Coast, which is very important to the UK at present.

"It seems to kill this guy." Alan Wilson made this decision in his heart after careful evaluation.

He is not worried that Nkrumah's ability is very outstanding. In fact, the Africans seem to have little effect on socialism. Was it a primitive tribe before, running into socialism? There must also be a basic law for launching satellites. How can this problem be solved with enthusiasm?

Even Alan Wilson himself would not be able to engage in socialism with a group of primitive tribes.

However, although he is not optimistic that Nkrumah's socialist road can be achieved, whether the Gold Coast can be turned into socialism and whether it can cause trouble for Britain are two different things. The former Nkrumah will not succeed, the latter is very easy.

From the establishment of the Soviet Union to the present, there have been numerous precedents showing that a new socialist country may not necessarily develop well, but it will certainly bring huge troubles to the suzerain country.

Knowing that there is such a person as Nkrumah on the Gold Coast, Alan Wilson's mind is not in Nigeria. Instead, it was placed on Nkrumah, who was also a Pan-Africanist and a socialist.

While constantly meeting with several national leaders of Niger, and promoting his stability maintenance and development plan. Alan Wilson is still liaising with the Gold Coast Commissioner, as well as necessary foreign aid.

The necessary foreign aid is of course the African hegemon, France. Alan Wilson found that in 1947, in order to strengthen the unity of the West African people in their struggle against colonialism, Nkrumah went to Paris to meet African members of the French National Assembly. Sulu-Migan Apiti, Leopold Seda Senghor, Felix Houphouet-Boigny and others jointly formulated plans to establish the Union of Socialist Republics of West Africa.

Now that things have come to this, you are welcome. The safety of the British Gold Coast is in a flash. As a public servant of the empire, he cannot ignore it. However, in the current situation, it is unlikely that the United Kingdom will send troops because of the independence of a colony. Not to mention independent.

Gold Coast Commissioner Davies told Alan Wilson that Nkrumah had also adopted a movement of non-violent non-cooperation. It's just that the gold industry is indeed not too difficult to find workers for production, and it is also a pillar industry on the Gold Coast. Nkrumah's non-violent non-cooperation movement is somewhat unacceptable and has been disintegrated.

But the situation is still very dangerous. Unlike Nigeria's self-talk, Nkrumah on the Gold Coast has almost formed a Lenin-style party, the Gold Coast United Congress Party.

In the telegram, Davis asked how to deal with the incident, and Alan Wilson said he needed to think carefully. His own mood was low, and Joan Bennett felt it most clearly.

But Joan Bennett didn't dare to ask, she wasn't as reliable as Greta Garbo and Ingrid Bergman after all. Even if asked, Alan Wilson would not say.

As an imperial civil servant who has suffered from dragoons, his mouth is now much stricter than before. Granted, it's unlikely that Joan Bennett was a Soviet spy. But she is an American, and on the colonial issue, Americans and Soviets are just different ways.

Nkrumah actually studied in the United States, which is exactly the same as Azikwe, who is seeking independence in Nigeria.

In a telegram to London, Alan Wilson also mentioned this point. Most of the independence leaders of British West Africa had a background in studying in the United States, and informed themselves of their countermeasures for Nigeria's independence.

As for the Gold Coast, Alan Wilson did not mention it in the telegram, because the normal method was useless.

At the meeting in the face of the three major ethnic groups in Nigeria, Alan Wilson came up with the development plan of the three major regions in Nigeria, and began to draw cakes, saying that this was also a responsible performance of the sovereign country. It is an assessment of all ethnic groups to see if Nigeria has the basis for self-government in a fair and just manner.

With the support of Azikwe, the leader of the Igbo people, in fact, this meeting went smoothly. After all, in the current Nigeria, the Igbo people have an advantage in institutions at all levels. If the dominant Igbo people do not object, the matter is not too difficult.

The development plan is five years, and after the five years, Alan Wilson hinted that at that time, all parties can apply for autonomy to London again. At that time, he believes that Nigeria, which has proved its self-management ability, should be recognized by London.

However, there are still five years after five years, and Alan Wilson is still inconvenient to disclose it. After temporarily stabilizing the Nigerian independence movement, Alan Wilson began to carefully consider how to push down the newly advanced Gold Coast independence movement.

Although he has made up his mind that Nkrumah must be killed for the Gold Coast's gold to remain stable in the next few years, it would be best if he could be replaced by a pro-Western leader.

With this idea, Alan Wilson told the Gold Coast Commissioner that he would not go to the Gold Coast for the time being, and at the same time sent a telegram to Northern Rhodesia, and needed professional help when he encountered the Commissioner.

Grace immediately set off from Northern Rhodesia with his cronies, and the passenger plane landed in Lagos.

"Unexpectedly, the main urban area of ​​this city is on an island." Grace, who has been inland for a long time, spoke highly of Lagos. "What do you British think? It seems that you are vulnerable to attack."

Lagos is the largest port city in Nigeria. At the southwest end of the border, along the Gulf of Guinea. It consists of small islands and mainland parts at the mouth of the Ogun River. The main island, Lagos, is the city center and is connected to Ikoy Island, Victoria Island and the mainland by bridges.

Lagos's location is equivalent to Chongming Island, the capital of China, so it's no wonder that Grace is puzzled.

"The Royal Navy can guarantee the security of the colony, and naturally it doesn't care where the capital is." Alan Wilson pondered and added, "At least it was guaranteed in the past!"

Now that the U.S. Navy is stronger than the Royal Navy, Alan Wilson shouldn't be too self-proclaimed.

Grace understood in seconds, asked Alan Wilson what he was looking for, and said, "I have a feeling that this time you want to repay us, it is definitely not a trivial matter."

"Grace, I have saved more than one time for those of you who are destined to be purged by Tito." Alan Wilson did not hide it, saying that this time he was inspecting as the deputy secretary general of the Overseas Assets Management Committee. Aside from some of the UK's hidden dangers, things have settled in Nigeria, but the independence movement on the Gold Coast is tricky.

The root cause lies in the independent leader of the Gold Coast, Nkrumah, who can no longer be suppressed by political means.

"So what do you want to do? Can't the local garrison solve the problem?" Grace frowned slightly and asked, "Is there too few troops?"

Alan Wilson nodded and shook his head, took out Nkrumah's photo and said, "This person has almost established a national political party, and he is dominant in the Gold Coast, and political means can no longer be contained. But the suppression is powerless with the local garrison. And there is another important factor. This person has studied in the United States. In fact, many leaders of the West African independence movement have studied in the United States."

"Americans really don't do good things~lightnovelpub.net~ Grace said with dissatisfaction after listening to it, if it is other things, of course Northern Rhodesia also wants to hug the American thighs, after all, who doesn't want their backers to be strong But on the matter of colonization, Northern Rhodesia must stand with Britain and France, at least for the moment.

Grace was naturally dissatisfied with the fact that the United States also wanted to dismantle the British and French colonial empires. The African colonies became independent, and the Slavs in Northern Rhodesia were surrounded.

He also knew that Alan Wilson was looking to get rid of this independent leader, and asked Alan Wilson if he had any ideas, and he could also make reference next to him.

Alan Wilson also did not hide it, saying that he wanted to facilitate it. India invited Nkrumah to leave the Gold Coast and kill him on the way.

"It's too far, and there may be variables along the way. I know that the UK has pro-British officials in the Indian government. But this matter is not easy to operate." Grace shook his head and said, "In fact, India is not a good target for visiting, you It was said that Nehru is also India's foreign minister, can you influence Nehru?"

Seeing Alan Wilson shaking his head, Grace spread his hands and said, "This is it, so we have to figure out a way to reach the destination. I think it would be better for a party in France to invite Nkrumah, such as the French Communist Party."
