British Civil Servant

v2 Chapter 666: Free Officers Organization

Murphy's Law says that the less you want something to happen, the more likely it will happen. Out of longstanding caution, Alan Wilson chose to believe in this unprovoked law.

While communicating with Governor Philip Mitchell in Nairobi, the capital of British East Africa, Alan Wilson did not forget to maximize the interests of this tour and let the Zanzibar Commissioner guide Khalifa Sultan to visit Cairo.

At the same time, it is also to pave the way for the next stage of his itinerary. The really terrible place, Black Africa, is not yet ranked. No matter from any point of view, Africa is the cheapest place on the world map.

Whether it is admitted or not, it is the fact that Britain's positioning of the origin of raw materials in Africa is justified, and the later powerful countries have also inherited this.

Alan Wilson needs to judge what Kenya was like in the heart of British East Africa in the 1950s. This depends on the judgment of future planning. In fact, the United Kingdom has designated Kenya as the core of British East Africa. There are only two reasons. The first is that it is in a good position, and the second is that it is sufficiently backward.

Tanzania in British East Africa was originally a German colony and fell into British hands after World War I. This is excluded. Before the British ruled Kenya, Uganda in the interior area was far more civilized than Kenya.

East Africa is different from West Africa. It has not been scraped by the triangular trade of slaves. It can be determined that the civilization of East African countries is higher than that of West Africa. At the same time, the East African colonies were only divided up in the late colonial era, whether it was Britain, France or Germany and Belgium. After the Berlin Conference in 1884, after going deep into Africa, they were all surprised to find that black Africans had the concept of a country.

To be precise, the level of civilization in Africa other than West Africa is actually quite good, which is completely different from the African impressions of European countries. Because of the slave trade, Africa has not been torn apart by Europe, and is generally concentrated in the interior.

Simply put, West Africa is less civilized than East Africa, and the most advanced places in East Africa are not coastal areas, but landlocked countries like Uganda, Rwanda, and Zimbabwe.

Landlocked countries maintained more traditions because colonizers penetrated deep into the African interior very late.

This is why there are still many kingdoms in Uganda. Before Kennedy became a British colony, there was no state organization in the interior of Kenya, and it was still in the stage of primitive communes. However, among the Kikuyu people, the phenomenon of private ownership of land Already produced, the land originally owned by the patriarchal family - "Mbari" has been partially owned by individuals, and a preliminary form of land lease has appeared.

There are white communities in Kenya. At present, the situation in Kenya is generally stable. After all, as the core of British East Africa, compared with other places, the UK has relatively strong local power.

Alan Wilson decided to walk around JFK to learn about the extent of British control over Kenya. Of course, he was going to walk around with Joan Bennett, and he didn't have the idea of ​​pretending to let the American actress see the vastness of the British Empire. At least so far, the land controlled by the United Kingdom is still relatively small. America's big.

Who knows how long it will be? So after passing this village, there is no such store, and it is serious to quickly realize it while it still exists. Mombasa is the largest port in British East Africa and bears a large share of the current British grain.

In Africa's real estate development strategy, Kenya's Nairobi and Mombasa are among them, and Kenya will also become an important stop for British Malaya to import industrial products to British East Africa.

The dock area gradually emptied. The crowd left with umbrellas in pairs. The street lights around the surrounding area were already on, and circles of lights illuminated the paintings on the concrete floor, one in the east and one in the west.

For the last few hours Alan Wilson was rubbing shoulders through the crowd, craning his neck to find Joan Bennett, now tired from standing so long, but still hoping she would show up soon. He sat on the tubular travel bag and waited for her.

Five minutes passed, then five minutes passed, then ten minutes passed. The rain had stopped for a while, but the sky was still cloudy. There were some small puddles formed everywhere on the big map, and the lights and the puddles reflected each other. He saw that the dancing lights were invisible because of the heavy rain, and the drops of rain gently caused some water waves on the water.

Alan Wilson raised his neighbors around his neck and considered taking the cloak out of his travel bag, but decided it wasn't worth the effort. He yawned and blinked his eyes numb from fatigue. He scans the roads by the pier, imagining Joan Bennett running towards him with open arms. Did he miss her with the bustling crowd earlier?

He shook his head. Of course, if she couldn't find him, she would wait. He was trying to find a good reason why she hadn't come yet, but the choices were so worrisome that he couldn't figure it out in a second or two.

The rain continued with more vigour, and he felt it soaked through his uniform and seeped into his bones. He stood up and it was time to move. If she showed up, she knew where to find him. He has spent many days and nights, always surrounded by heavy rain, he is staring at the sky, waiting for the storm to stop, waiting for the end of this tour. All he wants to do now is go home, go inside, and enjoy its dryness and warmth.

The neighborhood on the other side of the harbour is full of people reunited in pairs, walking down the street arm in arm, hugging and kissing. Overwhelmed by disappointment, Alan Wilson slung his travel bag over his shoulders, and walked feebly up the steep hill, sideways away from the happy men and women who had a crush on everything and everyone but each other. Turn a blind eye.

A hand tapped Alan Wilson's shoulder lightly from behind, and Joan Bennett pushed the big sunglasses on his face, "Alan, I didn't expect you to be so patient. To be honest, it's hard not to be distracted. , if you meet a little girl in her twenties, most of them will choose to marry you."

"I'm afraid you'll be lost. An American star disappeared in the British colonies. Of course it's not a big thing, but it's not a small thing." Alan Wilson breathed a sigh of relief and directly grabbed Joan Bennett's He said with relief, "The point is, I don't like putting women in danger."

"Then I'm really honored, now I understand very well why they like to be friends with you." Joan Bennett walked side by side with the man and said with a smile, "I don't know when your tour will be. end?"

"Thank you very much for your recent company. The last stop in Africa is Egypt. When you arrive in Cairo, you can return to Europe." Alan Wilson seems to be calm, but he always feels that the things he will face in Egypt will be quite difficult. .

The reason why he let Sunny Barr Sultan go to Cairo was just a distraction. Although the others did not arrive in Cairo, they kept in touch with Cairo through telegrams. There was no clear answer to the free officer organization he asked about.

No answer does not mean there is no danger, Alan Wilson is more inclined, MI6 has a false name. There is really no movement from the Free Officers Organization and Nasser.

What he himself hopes more is that Murphy's Law will be fulfilled. When he happens to be patrolling in Africa, he will quickly jump out of the trap and use one African patrol to solve all the short-term dangers.

So why did he tie Grace to accompany him, because he hoped that the future leader of Chetnik would be by his side, and if something went wrong, Mikhailovich might come to the rescue.

If a result favorable to the UK can be brought about by his means, Alan Wilson is even more hopeful that this wave of contradictions can break out in a concentrated manner. Whether the UK can survive the short-term crisis safely depends on this one-shot deal.

So he hopes that Nasser can act according to the original historical time, and at the same time, he also has to promote reconciliation with Iran, and by the way, kill Kwamy Nkrumah on the Gold Coast, the standard-bearer of Pan-Africanism.

Alan Wilson didn't have much time this time. After all, as the deputy secretary general of the Overseas Assets Management Committee, he inspected the African industry for a short-term part-time job. He still had to return to Kuala Lumpur to continue as a commissioner.

Can these things appear during his visit this time? UU read www. uukanshu. com and has been resolved, we can't go over wishful thinking, and this requires Nasser's cooperation.

In recent days, Alan Wilson has been thinking, how can Nasser be allowed to launch a coup d'etat in accordance with the same period of history?

In fact, Alan Wilson's dissatisfaction with MI6 is that the Free Officers Organization should have been around for many years. Farouk I may know that this organization exists, but he still does not know how powerful this organization is. The UK doesn't even know, which is unreasonable.

In other words, the United Kingdom also knew about the Free Officers Organization, but felt no threat. If this speculation is true, then Alan Wilson can only say that the level of MI6 is not as good as the thief of Farouk I.

In any case, he must go to Egypt, and it would be best if he could just stop Nasser from the coup.

At the end of May, Alan Wilson, who had collected a bunch of first-hand information on British Africa, started the second phase of the mission and arrived in Egypt secretly. On the first day, he met the Sultan Sannibar Khalifa who was also visiting Cairo.

As an island country that is too close to Africa, Sultan Khalifa is of course very concerned about visiting powerful countries in the Arab world, and he is very grateful to the UK for making this happen.

"Respected Sultan, can you ask me if His Majesty Farouk knows about the Free Officers organization. This is very important to me!" Alan Wilson took the initiative to speak, "I don't want to come forward directly. Once the matter is clarified, I believe it will further consolidate the traditional friendship between us."
