v2 Chapter 976: Learn from your opponent's strengths

Comparing competitors in the free world in different periods, it is actually easy to find that the resource reserves of the Soviet Union are above its own industrial capabilities, while China's resource reserves are not enough to support its own industrial strength.

The resource gap exists objectively, so importing raw materials is a must for China. This is why Australia does not think it will be retaliated against. Australia's resources can be sold to any country.

The economic loss is completely tolerable for Australia. You can make money if you lose money, but you only have one life.

Just like the Soviet Union's export of raw materials is based on the huge land and abundant resources, China's foundation is doomed to go out if it wants to go further. In this world, where is the best place to bully and the easiest place to get it? Africa of course.

During the Cold War, China has already formulated how to operate in Africa, especially how to operate in black Africa. Not to mention those hypocritical discourses on the concept, they just go straight to the resources.

Alan Wilson can conclude that Grace just needs to wait, as long as Tanzania speaks, someone will show up to help.

The difference is that because of Zambia, Tazara has become the world of people like Grace, and it may be different.

But Alan Wilson thinks that there will be no huge changes. If only the railway in Tanzania is built and North Rhodesia is left aside, then needless to say, the UK can completely prevent the railway in Tanzania from being built.

Anyway, it is inevitable that Sunnibal will be used as an offshore military base for the British to monitor East Africa, and Tanzania has no choice.

There is nothing to avoid. Alan Wilson thinks that the value of Tanzara Railway is that it can be prostituted for free without paying a pound from the UK. If this purpose cannot be achieved, it is better not to appear.

Before the emergence of the Tazara Railway, use the railway to South Africa first. Anyway, South Africa can persist until the end of the Cold War.

In fact, there are other alternatives, that is, the water transportation of the Congo River, which requires the help of other countries. Especially as Portugal, the suzerain of Angola, Britain is preparing to continue mediating on the issue of the Belgian Congo.

If the Belgian Congo cannot be preserved, the export of the Congo River will be transferred from Belgium to Portugal while preserving the oil interests around the Greater Gulf of Guinea. As colonists, European countries have sufficient reasons to do so.

Taking a 10,000-step back, if Africa is finally separated from European control, it can also be used to provoke conflicts among African countries.

Portugal is completely achievable. Angola's Cabinda region is located north of the mouth of the Congo River, northwest of Angola mainland, and west of the Atlantic Ocean. Between the two Congos, separated from the mainland by the narrow territory of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, it is an enclave of Angola.

It’s okay that the Cabinda area is not important. It is also an important port in Angola, the second largest city, and its status is equivalent to that of the magic capital. The oil company invested by Princess Margaret discovered oil just off the coast of Cabinda.

If the Cabinda enclave is connected with Angola, it is of course a good thing from the perspective of Portugal and Angola. Otherwise, it is not a good thing for the independent Congo.

Congo's only small mouth to the sea will disappear completely and be blocked by Angola. As far as Belgium is concerned, as long as Portugal is willing to exchange certain interests, while protecting Belgium's interests. The colonists who are going to be driven away still care about the hostility after the independence of the colony?

Sometimes Allen Wilson felt that he was really a friend to the Portuguese, otherwise Salazar could consider awarding him an honorary governor or something in recognition of his contributions to Portugal over the years.

While everyone in the viewing platform was whispering and communicating with each other, Richard, the High Commissioner of Malaya, had come to the end of his inspiring speech, affirming the economic development of Malaya, and at the same time stepped on the surrounding area and angrily reprimanded it Illegal immigration, after destroying the social morality of the Malayan colonies.

Richard revealed that Kuala Lumpur, the capital, and Singapore, the largest port, will jointly bid to host the next Commonwealth Games to highlight the achievements of the Malaya colony over the years.

Applause, warm applause lasted for a long time, people in Victoria Square cheered and shouted God save the queen...

"Gentlemen, in fact, it is not difficult to appease the colonies, is it?" Alan Wilson looked at the surrounding colonial commissioners, and took Richard as an example, "This time so many African elites have come, it is very important for the British colonies. The government’s rule is also somewhat useful, and to help people we trust to high positions, of course, we must conduct some investigations to determine whether they are reliable.”

A day later, the news that the Malayan colony was going to win the right to host the Commonwealth Games became the focus of heated discussions in the newspapers. After all, this is still a very compelling thing.

The Commonwealth Games is not comparable to the Olympic Games, but it can be regarded as a very influential and comprehensive sports event. It is an important link to maintain the Commonwealth of Nations. There are no fewer member countries than the Games.

However, in Alan Wilson's mind, after this sports meeting, which was supposed to be pretty good, was held by India once, the aura of his body suddenly became much inferior, and a term called the Commonwealth Games scandal appeared.

"Gentlemen, Malaya is going to host the Commonwealth Games, and we need your help."

At the evening reception, Alan Wilson took Richard with a goblet to show the reliability of the Colonial Commissioner. The answer is naturally no problem, and the Commonwealth Games can be used as an opportunity for the Malayan colony to take off.

Anyway, in the eyes of Alan Wilson, the Commonwealth Games requires the participation of the existing protectorates and colonies of the United Kingdom. It can't be just Canada and Australia that have already become independent, otherwise it will not be lively.

"I can't drink enough. Gentlemen, continue. I'll go back and rest first." Alan Wilson, who received a satisfactory answer, knew that the next entertainment project was the time for foreign aid mobilized from Singapore, so that the gentlemen could experience a foreign land. If he doesn't like the style, he will not participate. He has to consider his reputation as a senior Whitehall official.

The main reason is that the foreign aid has Heidi Lamarr and Ingrid Bergman. There are Queen Nanfang and Xia Meng in the exotic style, and Alan Wilson is immune to other vulgar fans.

The festivities were just embellishments for a long time, and at the end of the song, the first shrill whistle of the factory whistle broke the silence of the morning. Then in every corner of the city, other sirens gradually began to whine.

The hoarse, constant sound spread in all directions, like a group of vicious roosters singing, calling people to work with their iron voices.

With a tall black body and a chimney with a slender neck, the big factory towering in the rain and fog slowly woke up, spewing out clouds of fireworks and breathing clouds of smoke from time to time, indicating that it is still alive and is still covering the earth active in the dark.

A thick, sticky fog hung over the city. The rain rattled the roofs and trickled down onto the sidewalks, down the dark, rain-soaked streets, and over the wind-shivered canopies of trees against the long fence.

The wind was blowing from the soft fields out in the open, and it rolled over the streets with all its might, made the fences shake, and tried to tear the roofs off, before disappearing on the ground.

The typhoon season comes when it feels like it is coming, regardless of whether the world accepts it or not. No amount of bureaucracy can do anything about it.

Compared with the mood of nature, the means of the gentlemen are still not good enough, and they can only turn their hands into clouds and rain in the social field.

This can only delay the itinerary of the visiting African elites, but not the commissioners who are hiding in high-end hotels with complete facilities.

The brightly lit conference room was not affected at all, and the atmosphere was relaxed and cozy. We were planning to wait until the typhoon was over to play golf. Anyway, the typhoon Malaya was not affected much this time.

The communication between the gentlemen is peaceful, and the consequences of the communication will naturally be borne by the anti-British elements.

"In fact, the resistance in the colonies has always existed. As long as there are no riots, they are all under our control." Ingram compared the example of the Gold Coast, "It is much calmer now."

"The important thing is to give them hope, and you can do both soft and hard. Be clear and don't annoy us." Alan Wilson nodded in agreement, "We must give a clear advice to candidates who are interested in controlling the country in the future~www.mtlnovel. com~The successor’s road is not easy to walk, let them know clearly, don’t betray the UK, so that the succession can be smooth.”

"Don't think about having two minds. We have to learn from France. In case there is an elite who is interested in leading an independent in the future. If there is any objection to our actions, even a slight expression must be changed immediately. People who want to replace them may There are many."

"That's right." Many people nodded in approval, and it seemed very interesting with the raindrops beating on the windows.

"If you extend your hand to the enterprise, the enterprise can survive. But it is not difficult to kill the enterprise. The same is true for individuals."

Allen Wilson said with a smile, "It's really impossible. Let's pick a colony as a target, declare to the outside world that we will practice the Soviet judicial system, and then throw the rebels into the Gulag. After killing all the rebels, we declare that the Soviet judicial system has failed. It’s not democratic at all, just stop and apologize at the end.”

"Is this okay?" Many commissioners asked questions, and most of them didn't know how the judicial system of the Soviet Union worked.

"Of course you can. In fact, the judicial system of the Soviet Union only needs to do four things. Convict with a confession, cut off contact with the outside world during the detention period, arrange the lawyers we want to control the pace, and keep the trial in secret. As long as you do these four things, you will be arrested. The anti-British activist admitted that he planned a blitz against Poland, and he will plead guilty."

The commissioners in the conference room were silent, as if a new world had opened up in front of them, "It's really surprising."

"We need to combine the advantages of different systems, and consider from the perspective of optimization and integration, how to deal with anti-British elements." Alan Wilson stretched his waist, and said calmly with the tone of someone who has experienced it, "Anyway, including me Gentlemen in the court, no one should be able to withstand this set of trial procedures."
