Everyone knows very well in their hearts that the outcome of this meeting will determine the future of Sudan, which owns 2.5 million square kilometers of land. Representatives from different parties have mixed feelings. It's just a transition.

York Kiddston of the U.S. Representative Office in Sudan is very excited about the expansion of U.S. influence in Africa. As long as Sudan becomes independent, he can immediately become an ambassador for a country and have a place in the U.S. bureaucracy.

And for the United States, this is an iconic event, and he may be a witness himself, witnessing with his own eyes that the system established by Britain and France is handed over to the United States.

"So, the Americans are overjoyed." John said with an unhappy face, "York Kidston is happy to appear at this time, let Washington remember him, and the road ahead will be much easier."

"It's all for the sake of progress, we are also officials, and we know him very well." Alan Wilson smiled and comforted his colleagues who had just arrived in Juba, "But this matter, how can it be so simple. Americans are just witnessing Let’s take a look at Sudan’s independence process and show the influence of the United States? No negative effects?”

"You mean?" John was stunned for a moment, his face flashed a look of thought and uncertainty, "Anything has two sides."

"That's right!" Alan Wilson nodded in approval and smiled very happily. "Since the cabinet has approved our partition plan, let's think about the previous example. How do many countries view the independence of British India?"

Needless to say, although as witnesses, both of them knew that Britain did not deliberately split British India, and even thought about maintaining the integrity of the subcontinent, the final result was the partition of India and Pakistan.

Most of the countries in the world believe that the United Kingdom is deliberately causing the division of British India and turning it into a country that restrains each other.

Alan Wilson and the two of course thought that they were wronged. Partitioning was not a method for Britain to govern the colonies. On the contrary, the United Kingdom was keen on merging the colonies for unified management. But who would believe it?

People only believe in the results they see. Britain has a colonial history, and its foundation is not clean. Once the remarks that are going to cause bad things appear, they will be widely circulated all over the world.

"So the stage for us to exert influence on the Americans is just to let the Americans witness the division of Sudan." John nodded uncertainly and asked, "Also, let the United States help the United Kingdom share the responsibility for the division of Sudan?"

"Of course, otherwise what is the use of Americans? The discussion of racial discrimination inspired by the slave trade is also for this reason. John, of course we all know in our hearts that blacks are still excluded in the United States. It is still commonplace. But in the field of diplomacy, In order to maintain the glorious image of the United States, the United States will definitely work hard to maintain the results after the Civil War, and it will also pretend to be different from the slave trade."

Alan Wilson said sarcastically, "Will York Kidzton say that the slave trade is good? Impossible, so he will hypocritically criticize the history of the slave trade. Then there is the next chapter. The second question is that the hatred between Arabs and blacks is so great because of the slave trade, partition and rule are logical."

"You think too much, one link after another." John chuckled and said with admiration, "Otherwise, why are you so highly valued by Whitehall, how can others be a commissioner, and you won't be linked to overseas asset management? The position of Deputy Secretary General of the Committee?"

"Uh, but having said that, our boss is really going to retire this time. In fact, when British India became independent, Sir Barron didn't want to work anymore, but he was still two years younger. Another five or six years have passed, and this time it seems that I really want to enjoy my old age."

Seeing his colleague listening with interest, Alan Wilson suddenly turned around and looked at John, "Once Sudan becomes independent, you will no longer have a working environment as a commissioner, so do you want to be transformed into an ambassador? This is fine, but our kind People are more suitable for making achievements in other fields.”

Everyone is a professional bureaucrat, who is worse than the other? Alan Wilson doesn't just care about the retirement of his old boss. It's pretty obvious to say that in front of a Sudanese commissioner who's about to be useless.

"The Middle East is very important to the British Empire, and the local commissioner should be served by a reliable person." John looked out the window without squinting, his tone was very earnest.

"That's right!" Slap... Alan Wilson, who lit a cigar, blew a smoke ring, "It really has to be very reliable. The Middle East is a very critical place for maintaining the influence of the British Empire. Commissioner in Aden, westward Look after the Suez Canal and see the Persian Gulf to the east."

"Especially for domestic oil companies." John nodded in approval and asked indifferently, "Alan, who do you think is a more suitable person for this reliable person? As the deputy secretary general of the Overseas Assets Management Committee, right? You have a lot of say in such overseas assets."

"This issue is very complicated. I think we should see if we can handle the difficult issues at hand. At that time, in front of Whitehall and the Cabinet, we will have more power to advise." Handing a cigar at the same time, Alan Wilson answered a colleague's question from the side.

"That's right!" John nodded solemnly, then lit the cigar, and the room fell silent for a long time.

Not all colonies have governors, but every colony has commissioners. In some very important colonies, both governors and commissioners exist at the same time. Among the British colonies, Sudan is in a co-management relationship with Egypt, and the situation is more complicated.

Before World War II, when Britain still had enough strength to protect its interests, there was a governor in Sudan, but after the war, when the Egyptian people rebelled against Britain, the colonial policy began to adjust, and the United Kingdom and Egypt also negotiated the issue of Sudan, and finally Egypt gave up Sudan. Military presence, British withdrawal of the Governor and part of the garrison.

So it became a commissioner and 3,000 garrison, managing a colony of 2.5 million square kilometers, not much smaller than India, such a situation.

To this day, there has been no major trouble, thanks to the excellent matching mechanism in the African region.

Juba, the capital of South Sudan, the leaders of two major Sudanese parties, Ismail Azari and Abd Rahman Mahdi, York Kiddston, who represented the United States, and Joseph, who represented South Sudan and the local military · Agu, under the auspices of the Sudanese Commissioner, will conduct a very far-reaching negotiation for the fate of Sudan.

Without Alan Wilson, he won't participate in the formal meeting. After all, the real Sudanese commissioner is busy here. He is a person who comes here purely to help.

Playing a senior wingman is Alan Wilson's current duty, which is easy to maintain the feelings between colleagues. Anyway, how to operate, all the plans have been planned, there will be no major incident.

"You are very generous, going to such a corner of the world and contributing to others." Heidi Lamar complained. Ellen Wilson didn't care about this kind of gain or loss, but she was dissatisfied, thinking that she did good deeds and put her It looks stupid to give credit to others.

"John is a commissioner at the same level as me. I only have a part-time job who can manage him. Don't think he is my subordinate. Besides, being an official also needs friends. It is impossible for me to pay attention to everything. Most of the time, I can only Pay attention to the Malayan colony I manage, other things need to be told by my colleagues."

Alan Wilson spoke softly, hugged Heidi Lamar and explained, "Can I manage the affairs of the colony myself? I can't, in fact, neither can the commissioners of every colony. We are all ordinary people and face different problems. , so frequent contact can learn from each other’s strengths and weaknesses, and when an accident occurs in one place, the colonial commissioner can provide different experiences to deal with it.”

"As long as you're fine, I have no right to complain. I'm not your wife!" Heidi Rama turned her head away and complained in a low voice, apparently not being persuaded.

"I can't say that, in my heart, you and your wife are equally important and have the same status~lightnovelpub.net~ reached out and broke Heidi Rama's head, kissed the actress's red lips heavily, and persuaded her to work. Still have to continue.

In the long-abandoned Governor's Palace of South Sudan, among the rare landmark buildings in Juba, the leading figures of North and South Sudan, as well as the representatives of the United Kingdom and the United States in Sudan, have officially started negotiations.

As for Alan Wilson, he was chatting and laughing with the garrison in South Sudan, even if the military commander of the garrison in South Sudan was a major. The British troops stationed in South Sudan must ensure the safety of the delegates in this negotiation. After all, Alan Wilson is still not at ease with the local security. Anything can happen in Africa.

Especially recently, the military chief of South Sudan, Joseph Agu, is drawing hatred everywhere, promoting his independence from Sudan, and using the military's facilities to communicate with the outside world to prepare public opinion for the preparatory work of Sudan's partition. .

"We will never stay in the same country as the Arabs." In the South Sudan Governor's Palace, Joseph Agu stood up, gritted his teeth and expressed his hatred for the Arabs, and glanced at Ismail Azari and Abu De Rahman Mahdi said without fear, "We are not a colony at all. It was the British who unilaterally merged the colonies to create today's situation."

What Joseph Agu said is also true. North and South Sudan were unified and managed after World War II. At that time, the United Kingdom was still the same as before. According to tradition, it continued to contribute to national integration in the major colonies.

"Respected Colonel, the hatred in the past should probably be put down." York Kiddston opened his mouth to make peace.
