British civil servant

So why do Britain and France want to develop nuclear weapons?From the bottom of their hearts, London and Paris do not believe that the United States will engage in a nuclear war with the Soviet Union for the sake of Europe, so the two countries must discover nuclear weapons, and they have the ability to make the Soviet Union throw a mouse.

Let Saif and Ali Khan communicate, and Alan Wilson will continue to work on his own affairs. If MacArthur met the destined Waterloo, it will affect Alan Wilson.

That is, he has now turned the Commissioner's broadcast into a daily broadcast, repeatedly showing that Britain did not send ground troops to join the war, which is completely different from the United States.

Who made the main ethnic group in British Malaya to be Chinese? He must constantly appease and distinguish Britain from the United States.It's analyzing data and reasoning.Maintain the stability of this most important colony to Britain today.

But he can't live like this for the next three years. If he wants to get rid of the announcer's predicament, he must find a way.

"Master Zhongtang!" Entering an empty villa area, Su Yang and Tian Qianqiu saw Alan Wilson and Anna as soon as they entered the door, and asked while greeting, "Who is this?"

Alan Wilson glanced at Anna, and said calmly, "According to your words, it's my concubine's room. Please sit down!"

Not much to say, Alan Wilson took out the call back from London and started today's speech tutorial, "Some time ago, the Japanese representative did come to Penang, hoping that the colonial government would release the prisoners of war and repatriate them back to China."

When Hayato Ikeda came, in fact, the U.S. military had not yet encountered MacArthur's lifelong enemy, but Alan Wilson played a side ball and pretended to be so.

This made Su Yang and Tian Qianqiu's faces turn cold. Both of them are new immigrants. It will take four or five years to leave the motherland. How can the national sentiment disappear so easily.

Japan wanted to return the prisoners of war at this time, which was linked to the war on the peninsula. The two naturally thought that the Americans wanted to rearm Japan and join the war.

This is a pain for Anna. If Alan Wilson talks in English, she has been trained by Gazner after all, so it is not a problem for her to speak English, but Gazner has never taught Chinese.

"According to London's instructions, I will officially start the work of repatriating prisoners of war after the year." Alan Wilson looked at the two patriots calmly, "As for whether they will participate in the war, I don't know."

"Lord Nakadō, Japan is just a defeated country, what right does it have to make demands on you." Tian Qianqiu said angrily, "Please forgive me, I just don't understand."

"But behind Japan is the United States, and I can't help it." Alan Wilson shrugged and said that he could not help, and then changed the subject, "Actually, I don't want to do this either. You should all know that the London government expects from the Malayan newspaper , A lot of manpower and material resources have been invested, and this war may inevitably affect local stability. After all, you have a lot of Chinese, and now London is also worried. Once it affects London's judgment, all of Malaya Imperial subjects are bad things."

"Furthermore, because of its geographical location, the war on the peninsula must have promoted Japan. Even if Malaya will not be affected by the war, from the perspective of economic development, Malaya and Japan are also rivals."

"In this world, some people are poor and some are rich. It is indeed unfair. If Japan and Malaya can both manufacture the same thing, the price will not be high. I believe that you are all grown-ups and you will understand this. "

Alan Wilson talked about this matter with a very candid attitude from the perspective of ethnicity and economics, and finally said, "If you can handle this matter well, it will also be of great benefit to the lives of Chinese in Malaya in the future. One less competition Opponents, your life is easier, isn't it?"

"Master Zhongtang hopes that we will not be able to do things for London." Tian Qianqiu pondered for a while and said, "I understand, so that London can feel relieved when it sees the Chinese community."

"Yes, when the time comes, I will find a way to get London to pardon your crimes in this operation." Alan Wilson began to tell his overall plan, including what the law does not punish the public, and the king's pardon.

What is extenuating circumstances, what is the exchange of interests, Alan Wilson finally said, "When the time comes when I invite the murderers to eat in prison, one of the two of you will organize a sit-in protest outside, wearing a Mizi flag to set off the atmosphere. It is in place. I will help you operate in London in the name of maintaining the stability of the colony. But one thing must be the condition that the law does not punish the public. Whether it is the number of participants or the number of guarantors after the matter is over, it must be Enough is enough."

Chapter 578 The Land of Offshore Balance

"Of course we believe in Zhongtang." Su Yang and the two looked at each other and nodded in unison.

"This world is like this, where risks and profits coexist. In this unfamiliar place, the Chinese and us British are both foreigners, and we should support each other. The risk of this matter is a bit higher, but the profit is very high."

Alan Wilson, who was holding a wine glass, was persuasive, "If things happen, we will all benefit. My purpose is to maintain the stability of British Malaya, which requires the cooperation of the Chinese. And you are not betraying the interests of the Chinese. From a national point of view, the hatred between the Chinese and the Japanese is real, and this is your chance to take revenge, and it is also a chance to reassure London."

"Let's have a toast to Zhongtang!" Su Yang said, and Wada Qianqiu poured a glass each.

"People who don't know think that we are sworn brothers. But if the two Chinese leaders in the future do this, I don't reject it." Alan Wilson also raised his glass and clinked a glass with the two.

The rest is the details, such as when it is appropriate to do it. Alan Wilson said that it is more appropriate to do it after he leaves for a short time. Although it is only a superficial project, it is better for him not to do it when he is in Malaya.

In this way, on the surface, Alan Wilson has no responsibility, and it is easier to move around and turn big things into small things.

"Actually, if everything goes well, even His Majesty the King will be able to get the promise from the Chinese that they will not pursue independence. They will be very happy to issue a pardon, but I have one thing to remind you that when you petition, you must ask for the pardon from the king. , don’t trust the assurances of this administration, politicians’ words have a statute of limitations, trusting politicians will do you no good.”

As for British politics, the two of them are certainly not as familiar with Alan Wilson, so they are naturally good at following others.

Whether it is the Conservative Party or the Labor Party, Alan Wilson does not believe in the colonial issue. He believes more in the mascot king of the constitutional monarchy in people's eyes.

The relationship between the British mainland and overseas territories is not a fatal matter in the eyes of politicians.Alan Wilson even believes that absolute monarchy is the best way to digest the land.

British Newfoundland is an overseas territory that is not influenced by the Conservative Party or the Labor Party, which is very good.The situation in British Malaya is much more complicated than that of Newfoundland. Although Newfoundland is not small in size, its population is indeed much smaller. Being an offshore financial center can allow Newfoundlanders to live a good life.

With so many people in British Malaya, it is unrealistic to rely on finance to support them. It is still necessary to develop the industry honestly.

"You seem to have a good relationship with the Chinese." Anna, who was clearing the dining table, felt a little emotional. "I can't understand the language you speak. I was very unhappy just now."

"My dear, do as the Romans do." Alan Wilson immediately joined in the aftermath work, "The way to overcome fear is to face fear. I am the most suitable person for this job in the whole of England. At least I know them. There is a certain certainty."

"Fear!?" Anna stopped washing the dishes slightly, and asked curiously, "This is very new, do you still have anything to be afraid of?"

"It's not so scary, it's necessary to have the necessary precautions." Alan Wilson thought about it carefully, "But fortunately, although China is a bit difficult to deal with, it is not as difficult to deal with as the Soviet Union."

"Oh, I thought you were not afraid of any country." Anna's ears involuntarily perked up, and she said in a complicated tone.

"Anyone who opens the world map and sees such a big country, whether in the Far East, the Middle East or Europe, has a huge sense of oppression. Who is not afraid of it." Alan Wilson said with a chuckle, "Where is such a big country standing? No matter what kind of system it implements, it is the enemy of Britain, even if it is Imperial Russia, it is also the life and death enemy of the British Empire, not to mention that the strength of the Soviet Union is far greater than that of Imperial Russia."

"After all, the British Empire is such a large territory, and the United States is the most powerful now." Anna said sourly, "This is what we want in Germany but don't have."

"Speaking of this issue, you, Germany and France, are in a similar situation to China. Both sea power and land power are involved. But the difficulty of developing at the same time is much more difficult than developing the United Kingdom and focusing on sea power alone." Alan Wilson let the busy Anna sat on her lap, "But the sea power was snatched by us in the UK. Sea power does not belong to any country. But land power is different. In today's world, land power is naturally in the hands of the Soviet Union, that is The Soviet Union's sea power is far more stable than the sea power jointly held by the United Kingdom and the United States."

Geographically, the United States can be said to be an enhanced version of the United Kingdom.And China is also very different from the Soviet Union. If you compare it with European countries, it should be similar to an enhanced version of Germany or France.

To put it bluntly, it is called having both land and sea, and to put it bluntly, it means not occupying both ends. China's sea power in the 21st century has progressed only after decades of hard work.

At the same time, Russia has undergone a disintegration, and land power is still in Russia's hands.After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, NATO swarmed around Russia and hammered it for decades. Any country should be completely dead.

But Russia still dares to challenge NATO with its huge land resources that have shrunk.It can be seen how difficult it is for Russia, which has innate land power, to deal with.

And countries with both sea and land must make greater efforts to take care of both.Similar to France and Germany in Europe, as long as there is a little carelessness, having both land and sea will become a matter of focusing on one thing and losing the other.

On the contrary, such a huge country like the Soviet Union is pressed on the Eurasian continent, such a super land power.The benefits brought are not that they did not appear in the Cold War. The economy has reached the six achievements of the United States and can start a global offensive.The United States, whose economy far exceeds that of the Soviet Union, has been ashamed.

The U.S. has to do [-]% of its efforts to interfere in Eurasia, and the Soviet Union has to do [-]% to make the U.S. return without success.

This point has not been replicated by any country, even after decades, the king of understanding has frequently shown his favor to Russia.The Sleeping King still wants to designate Russia as an enemy.What the Democratic Party is most worried about is that once the decades of suppression are over and Russia, which has not been hammered to death, recovers, it will become a big country that has not been dealt with, and at the same time, it will release Russia, a super land power.

Regarding the current international situation, Alan Wilson can actually understand why the United Kingdom would rather be a follower of the United States than introduce the United States into Europe, and European countries still agree.

Because the threat of the Soviet Union is completely different from that of other countries, if the United States and even the Five Eyes lose to a certain big country in the 21st century.In fact, a certain big country is not capable of doing anything to the Five Eyes Alliance.Even if a certain big country wins, most of the land rights in Eurasia are still in the hands of Russia. The worst result is that a certain big country gets half of the land rights and half of the sea rights.

Even if it becomes the number one in the world, it is still a number one in the world that can be checked and balanced.Take the Silk Road as an example, as long as the Russians are not happy, this grand plan will be paralyzed at any time.Therefore, a certain big country will not take the initiative to tease Russia.

As for the loser, Five Eyes, if they see this happening at that time, it will not be too late to make peace with Russia.

However, if Britain and the United States lost to the Soviet Union in the Cold War, the consequences would definitely not be acceptable. The consequences would be that the Soviet Union, which held the land power of the entire Eurasian continent, would take a period of time to grab the sea power, and nothing would be left for Britain and the United States .

Once this result occurs, the Soviet Union will be invincible and will completely block the way of other potential challengers.

In short, the consequences of Britain and the United States losing to a certain big country are actually not disastrous, and they will not do anything to the Five Eyes Alliance.But if the Cold War is lost to the Soviet Union, it will lose all the underwear.

In view of this consequence, the Sleeping King will continue to suppress Russia after he becomes president, and we cannot give this Cold War opponent a glimmer of hope that he can get back up.Even if it is 30, the United States still has not changed its original intention for [-] years, preventing Russia from having a chance to recover.

Although the Democratic Party's thinking does not pay much attention to the meaning of a certain big country.But there is naturally a set of logic in doing so.

Alan Wilson does not know whether this logic is correct in the 21st century, but now he also regards the Soviet Union as an enemy. Once the Soviet Union has recovered from the heavy damage of World War II, Alan Wilson is the Whitehall civil servant who most supports the special relationship between Britain and the United States.

Anna didn't know what was going on in her heart at this moment, it was very complicated anyway.On the one hand, this man gave himself a superior life, or in fact the relationship between husband and wife.On the other hand, it was the first time that this man had such a great potential fear of the Soviet Union.

Alan Wilson, who gave the Chinese time to prepare, sent a telegram to ask the ladies of the same status as his wife what their schedule was recently, but found that he did not intend to come to Malaya, so he took a plane to Zanzibar Islands to participate in this year's Conference of Commissioners for Overseas Colonies.

Discuss the development plan after the establishment of the Imperial Preference System and the establishment of overseas state-owned enterprises, Zanzibar is a British mandate.The full name is the Sultanate of Zanzibar. In the future, it will become independent and merge with Tanganyika to become the United Republic of Tanzania.

However, regarding the current Sultanate of Zanzibar, at the last meeting of commissioners in London, there was already a consensus that the Sultanate of Zanzibar should be retained as much as possible to prevent it from merging with any country, and when the conditions are right, it should be built as a countermeasure against East Africa. offshore financial center.

Alan Wilson, who changed planes in Ceylon and finally went to the Sultanate of Zanzibar, first met Khalifa bin Haroba bin Suyeni Sultan out of courtesy.Apologies for disturbing Sultan's cleanliness.

The Sultanate of Zanzibar only covers an area of ​​more than 2000 square kilometers, but it happens to block the coastline of Tanganyika. If necessary, it can block important ports in nearby East African countries. It has a very strategic position and is a good place for offshore balance.

Chapter 579 Signing a Treaty and Warming Up

Almost all of Britain's remaining colonies today are in the African continent, which is also the main location of European interests today.In terms of independent colonies, no colony in British hands is more important than British Malaya.But together it is not the case!

Therefore, Alan Wilson, as the Commissioner of British Malaya and the position of Deputy Secretary-General of the Overseas Assets Management Committee, also traveled all the way to Zanzibar for the meeting, which is also a respect for the African Commissioners.

The British African colony was at the end of the nineteenth century. The strategic extension of the British Empire from the mouth of the Nile to the Cape of Good Hope, opening up the African continent from south to north, conflicted with France's strategy of controlling Africa from west to east, and finally forced France to make concessions.

After the First World War, Britain realized its wish to open up the African continent and acquired the German colony that blocked the plan, and the German colony it acquired was Tanzania.

Don't think that this plan to connect North and South Africa is easy. If Alan Wilson remembers correctly, the successor of the British plan is called the Soviet Union. During the Brezhnev period, the Soviet Union set off a prelude to a global offensive.However, British Africa became independent countries one after another.

Brezhnev's African plan during his tenure was to replicate the British strategy in the [-]th century, starting from Egypt and heading south all the way to the Cape of Good Hope. Finally, when the civil war broke out in Angola, South Africa's neighbor, the Soviet Union and the United States had a showdown.

In the 70s, the civil war in Angola became more and more fierce. Both the Soviet Union and the United States realized that this had reached a critical moment. Who could persist in Africa was related to the status and face of the two hegemons.The Soviet Union has already transported a lot of military and material aid to the Angolans, including a large amount of arms and materials piled up in the neighboring country of Zambia and the Congo.

Brezhnev believed that it was necessary to take new measures at the moment of the decisive battle. He decided to send [-] Cuban troops armed by the Soviet Union to Angola while sending a large number of Soviet military advisers to Angola. Participated in the African liberation movement very actively.

This is the first time that the Soviet Union has defeated the United States and South Africa, the African local snake, in a distant Africa.At the same time, the Soviet Union's global offensive was in the limelight for a while, and the strategy to open up Africa was close at hand.

The contiguous British African colonies will become the main battlefield of the Soviet Union's strategic offensive in the future. Alan Wilson is very complicated in his heart, and at the same time he curses the United States as a rebellious waste.To be able to lose to a player who has just entered the arena in a place where Britain has ruled for such a long time.

But regardless of what will happen here in 20 years, but now Alan Wilson and the commissioners in Africa still have to discuss the current plan.

Most of British Africa is on the east coast of Africa, and the damage here is actually not serious.Because of the triangular slave trade, mainly on the west coast of Africa, no one would make a big circle, go to the east coast to catch slaves, and then circle around the Cape of Good Hope and sell them to the United States.

Although both east and west Africa are blacks, they are actually different. For example, blacks in eastern African countries are good at long-distance running, while blacks in western African countries and those who are sold to the Americas always produce famous sprinters.

Before the official meeting started, a group of white commissioners, including Alan Wilson, were guests at the Sultan's Palace in Zanzibar.

From the name Sudan, we know that Zanzibar is a country where the Peace Church has an absolute advantage.Before the Age of Discovery, the world's oceans were in the hands of the Arabs. Along with the routes of the Arab merchants, the Peace Sect traveled from the east to the East Indies, and south to southern Africa.

The Oman Empire once established a colony that reached the French Madagascar from the mainland, which is a shelf of a colonial empire.

Because it is completely different from the mainland of Tanzania, when Alan Wilson communicated with the Commissioner of Zanzibar, he said that he should find a way to deal with religious conflicts and find ways to stir up conflicts between Christians on Zanzibar Island and the African continent. There should be bloodshed.

"Our beneficial experience from the Partition of British India should be carried forward. As long as religious conflicts arise, we will cultivate the contradictions between Zanzibar and Tanzania, so that we can prevent any attempt to merge Tanzania and Zanzibar , gentlemen, is that so?"

The conversation between Alan Wilson and Commissioner Sunnibal aroused the approval of the gentlemen around, and they all said that this should be done.

"But Tanzania is a Christian after all. Isn't it a little bit like this?" Tanzanian commissioner Blake shook his head and smiled wryly. "Of course I don't object, but I think it's a bit weird."

"Blake, this won't do any harm to Tanzania. Religious conflicts happen naturally, and there is no conflict with us." Alan Wilson indicated that the risk is controllable, "This is not British India after all, we have to mediate a million people Conflicts of that scale, it's still easy. If you're worried, I had a much harder job in British Malaya, where there were tens of millions of people."

"I, the Nigerian commissioner, will not accept the comparison of the number of people. Not only does Nigeria have a population of 3000 million, but also there are peace believers in the north and Christians in the south. The number is about the same."

As soon as the Nigerian commissioner finished speaking, many colonial commissioners were taken aback for a moment, and then said in unison, "So, this is a good place to implement partition. It is simply another reappearance of British India. But before that, you must We must pay close attention to find ways to create conflicts between the two religions, but also ensure that the interests of the British Empire are not affected at this stage."

Several ethnic groups in Nigeria, the Hausa is a subdivided Sahel ethnic group, mainly inhabited in northern Nigeria and southeastern Niger, they use the Hausa language belonging to the Chadian language family, and generally believe in the religion of peace.

The Igbo people are one of the main black ethnic groups in West Africa, mainly distributed in the Niger and Estuary areas in southeast Nigeria, and also in Cameroon.They mainly believe in Catholicism, but they also retain a large number of primitive religious elements, and a small group of people believe in Judaism.

With these two ethnic groups as the core, Nigeria's population beliefs are much more balanced than those of British India.It is almost a half-half ratio, with a natural divide-and-conquer basis.Even more balanced than the adjusted British Malaya!

"With this foundation, there is no need to worry. Like the land under our feet, it is not strong enough, but it is not far from the mainland, and it is also vulnerable to infiltration by Tanzania, so it is more dangerous." Alan Wilson brought the topic back, and colleagues They discussed, "Zanzibar can easily block Tanzania. We need to protect such an important position."

Speaking of this, Alan Wilson looked at Sultan Khalifa not far away, and said to the palace guard next to him, "Call Khalifa over and say that I have a suggestion to discuss with the respected Sultan one time."

Alan Wilson remembers that Tanzania later seemed to have a nickname called the East African Liberation Army?Now that he knows this, he must assume the responsibility of safeguarding the interests of the empire, prevent the merger of Tanzania and Zanzibar, and at the same time use Zanzibar to prevent Tanzania from developing.

The Sultan Khalifa of Zanzibar is an Arab, and he came to a group of colonists in a short while. Before the official meeting started, a group of British white commissioners first talked with Khalifa Sultan about the Zanzibar issue.

"Dear Khalifa Sultan, you should know this. The current model of Zanzibar with Arabs at the top and blacks at the bottom is very dangerous. And it is easy to be infiltrated by blacks in Tanzania. After all, Zanzibar is not far from the mainland. But forty kilometers, this is not such an insurmountable distance." Alan Wilson turned around and asked, "I don't know what Sudan thinks, what is the role of Britain here?"

Although it is true that [-]% of Zanzibar's population are peace believers, there are ethnic issues besides religion.Once Tanzania becomes independent, it is inevitable that Sannibal will not be missed. This archipelago can threaten Tanzania's important port itinerary.

"Commissioner Wilson, Britain is a balancer." Khalifa Sultan hesitated and said.

"At the same time, we are also friends with the monarchs of various countries. The British Empire is also a monarchy. In any case, we will not take the initiative to do anything to the monarch of a country." Alan Wilson nodded in satisfaction, "I have a suggestion, I hope to share with Harry France and Sultan in exchange for some terms."

"Commissioner Wilson, please explain clearly." Khalifa Sultan was a little confused as to what the other party's purpose was.

"Dear Sultan, although we are colonists in the UK, it is actually a small threat to the upper-class Arab population on the island. The real threat is the black people on the mainland, but in fact? If I guessed correctly , Even on the island of Zanzibar, the more blacks occupy the majority." Alan Wilson asked shyly, "I am very worried about this. It is too far away from the Arab countries."

If there's one good thing about Alan Wilson, it's that it's honesty and straight to the point where the Arabs on Zanzibar are most worried.

"If the respected Sultan can guarantee the use of the island's port by Britain and safeguard the interests of the British Empire in the area. I can help Zanzibar join the Arab League. Even if it is not independent, it can go first." Ai Ren Wilson nodded at this point, "But I want to see the sincerity of the Sultan."

In general, although Tanzania is not yet independent, Alan Wilson is now going to nip the danger in the bud.Prevent this archipelago, which can block Tanzania, from being finally annexed.

Since Sultan Khalifa has no objection, before waiting for the arrival of the Governor of French Madagascar, sign a new treaty to warm up.

5 Eighty Chapters Commercializing Agriculture in Africa

Khalifa Sultan is lucky. After all, Britain mainly practices indirect rule and will not damage the local political environment too much.

This is different from France. The royal family of Madagascar, the largest island in Africa, is now gone.

At this time, Alan Wilson didn't mind putting the French who were about to arrive as a backstop, saying that he was lucky to fall into the British colonial rule. Using the fate of the royal family of Madagascar, he told Khalifa Sultan that there is nothing wrong with being ruled by the British.

The new treaty mainly clarifies the responsibilities of both parties, as well as the obligations of both Britain and Zanzibar.Sunnybale would serve as a base for the UK's offshore balance of East Africa.

If it was before, Britain did not need to rely on other countries to achieve its goals.But it is already [-], and we must think of ways to save costs.

After discussing with colleagues, everyone came up with a common opinion. It is necessary to have a reliable Arab country to help Britain share the defense of Madagascar.

In the end, it was a choice between Egypt and Iraq. Most commissioners believed that Egypt had this military power, and as the No.1 largest country in the Arab world, it was easier to borrow power.

But the Sudanese commissioner, Alan Wilson's friend John in British India, firmly opposed the introduction of Egyptian power into Zanzibar, "Because Egypt is strong, we cannot choose Egypt."
