British civil servant

"There are several basic ideas. Divide Sudan into two parts. Establish an independent country dominated by Arabs and blacks. The withdrawal of troops, especially the troops stationed in South Sudan, is not in a hurry. It can reflect the responsible attitude of the United Kingdom." Alan Wilson thought and said, "South Sudan's problem is not big. As for North Sudan, to prevent North Sudan from merging with Egypt, we can only find out which faction is worth supporting when we get to the place, such as the Arab world and black Africa. The relationship between them can only be adjusted according to circumstances.”

"The fundamental purpose is to prevent independent countries from living too well. It is actually very important to Britain and the entire civilized world. Of course, respectable Sir Norman, this is just my personal opinion."

"It is also the collective will of the entire Whitehall." Norman Brook nodded in satisfaction, "When will your John leave?"

"Anytime!" Alan Wilson expressed his progressive heart in a timely manner, showing that he is a brick of the British, and he can move it wherever he needs it. He never asks how many enemies there are, only where the enemies are.

Then Alan Wilson left Whitehall, ready to go to a new?It's not completely new either. He has experienced similar independent projects twice, once in British India and once in British Newfoundland. The results are different, but the process is similar.

From this moment on, the entire independence agenda of the British Sultan is in his hands, and the glorious era has returned...

So his first stop was actually Egypt. There was no way, Egypt was the leader of the Arab world, and Farouk I looked like Ali Pasha was alive.What is the opinion of the Sudan that once ruled must be clarified.

Immediately afterwards, Allen Wilson and John set off, making a transition in Paris to Cairo. After the two left, Heidi Rama put on an Arabian robe and embarked on a logistical support journey.

Not long after, the two had arrived at Cairo's King Farouk I International Airport. It was already [-], and there was still one year before the historical Suez Canal War.

Alan Wilson does not think that history will continue to move towards the set goal so stubbornly, but the time is sensitive, and he still wants to learn more about Egypt at this time to see if it is possible to overturn.

As for the basic independent process, it was not difficult for two people who had worked in British India.It is nothing more than a balanced strategy, leaving as many weapons and equipment as possible to the weaker southern black army. This is a basic operation.

Of course, the current Sudan also has a British garrison, only more than 3000 people, but it is enough for use.Like the war against many colonies, Britain also suffered losses in Sudan, and the governor was also shot to death by the Sudanese.

The first failed conquest of Sudan, Britain has repeatedly instigated Ethiopia to attack Sudan, which greatly weakened Sudan's power.This is also the routine operation of the United Kingdom. To conquer India is to win over Hyderabad for help.In the end, the fate of the entire Sudan as a colony cannot be changed.

"Once the Sudan is independent, do you want to go there?" Alan Wilson asked in the hotel arranged under the personal care of Farouk I, holding a wine glass and looking down at the urban area of ​​Cairo.

"I haven't thought about it yet, maybe I will go back to work in China?" John was also full of confusion when he heard this question. Obviously, he was not very sure about the future, and finally joked, "Maybe I will be a businessman, sell Rubber arabic."

Although they are all called rubber, rubber arabic is mainly used in the food industry. Gum arabic basically does not generate heat. It is a good water-soluble dietary fiber and is used in health products, candies and beverages.In medicine, gum arabic also has the function of lowering blood cholesterol.

The largest producer of Arabic rubber is Sudan, which can be regarded as a relatively iconic industry in Sudan.

"John, you don't need to be so pessimistic. Isn't there still South Sudan? If war breaks out because of partition, maybe South Sudan doesn't want us to leave." Alan Wilson is still quite optimistic. After all, not only are there a small number of black people in Sudan, The degree of civilization is also worse than that of the Arabs, which is in line with the consistent standard of the British Empire to eliminate the strong and support the weak.

At least the situation is better than that of France. Not surprisingly, after the defeat of the French army in the Battle of Dien Bien Phu, Algeria wanted to try the fineness of France for themselves, and started to make trouble.

This thing has a beginning, and there are countless imitations. When Britain and India talked about independence, many colonies wanted to continue the talks. When Vietnam and France achieved independence, countless colonies wanted to try it.

At the end of 30, the Algerian National Liberation Army launched simultaneous uprisings in more than [-] places across the country, attacking colonial authorities' garrisons, outposts, gendarmerie, police stations and other military targets.

It can be said that this was a blow to the Paris government, which had just obtained Algerian oil from Pamela Mountbatten.It's just that the climate has not yet formed, and it has not led to a large-scale increase in French troops.

Alan Wilson thought so anyway, but it turns out that this kind of thing is irresistible. Alan Wilson picked up a woman in a black robe from Farouk I International Airport. On the same day, Paris announced that it would increase its troops to Algeria. The speed of reaction is much faster.

"Did you hear anything similar when you were in Paris?" Alan Wilson asked Heidi Lamarr, who was dressed in an Arabian dress.

"There is some folk news that the French are ready to go to war." Heidi Lamar recalled, "I just don't know what will happen."

Chapter 814 Haile Selassie I

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it too. I mean, I'm worried, yes, I'm worried." Alan Wilson, who was startled by a slip of the tongue, quickly added, his discordant look on his face turned into a look of compassion, both for the war Worries about expansion and hopes for peace.

Eyes are the windows to the soul, and fortunately Heidi Rama is now wearing a black robe. Except for a pair of charming eyes, the disdain on her face is all under the black veil, which avoids the embarrassment of the two of them.

If you want to be pretty and filial, the effect of wearing a black gauze is actually similar to that of a wedding dress.But obviously, Heidi Rama's body doesn't have this effect, it's only worn by Arab conservatives of later generations.

Even so, as long as he can see this pair of eyes, anyone can feel that this woman must be very beautiful.

"I'll change my clothes." Heidi Lamarr said something directly, and went straight into the bathroom.

Alan Wilson sat on the sofa by the window and made reasonable guesses about the current round of French violence.No matter what the final result is, it should be much more tragic than the same period in history.He even thought of a slogan similar to the Turkish government, "There are no Algerians, only Gobi French."

Heidi Rama came out quickly, with long black legs, opened the suitcase in the bedroom, took out the underwear and changed it as if no one else was there, and directly brought the imperial commissioner, who was immersed in the great career of key affairs, back to reality.

"This is too exciting." Alan Wilson let out a suppressed strange cry, with an unbearable expression on his face.

Only Heidi Lamarr, who had not changed the black silk on her legs, looked up at Alan Wilson and complained, "Don't think I have more time, it's just that others don't want to come over. Greta doesn't even want to leave the door." , Ingrid is still busy with company affairs, and in the end I am the only one who sees you alone."

"Heidi, I'm very grateful." Alan Wilson didn't know what an animal's estrus looks like, but his state at this moment interpreted the appearance of a human being in estrus. A pair of eyes recorded the whole process without missing every frame.

Such compliments did not cause waves in Heidi Lamarr. Similar sweet words had been heard countless times in different stages of her life. After a while, Heidi Rama put on a shirt, Untied the tied braids, and sat down with long hair draped over her shoulders.

"Would I look less dignified?" Heidi Lamarr asked with a serious look, with one black silk draped over the other, and the underside of the shirt looming.

"Okay?" Alan Wilson pretended to be stern, and looked away with difficulty. He wanted to reflect the professionalism of the imperial commissioner and make an evaluation from an objective and neutral point of view, but he always wanted to look there. It's embarrassing.

"What are you looking at?" Heidi Rama joked, "It's not that I haven't seen it before. I haven't let you explore it carefully. At this time, I'm a gentleman again."

"Heidi, you know, I'm on a business trip this time." Alan Wilson organized the language, but after thinking for a long time, he completely forgot the basic literacy of speaking skills, and he was ashamed of the years of training of the British Empire.

Heidi Rama nodded and said, "Yes, why did you come to Africa this time? You were in such a hurry in Paris, and you left after a short notice. What are you doing this time?"

He can't be blamed for this, it's about the future of the empire, it's a matter of great urgency, of course Alan Wilson can't stay in the romantic capital for too long, he thought, but time really doesn't allow it.

Opening his mouth, Alan Wilson replied, "Actually, it's similar to what France is doing now, but the methods are different?"

It was only then that Heidi Lamarr suddenly realized that Britain was also facing a wave of colonial independence, and asked with a look of exploration, "Where is it?"

"British Sudan." After Alan Wilson replied, he added, "It's not smaller than Algeria, it's a big colony." This is all modest. The area of ​​British Sudan is larger than Algeria.

Heidi Rama didn't know about the situation in Sudan, but Algeria still knew something about it. The reports in France about the discovery of oil in Algeria were ecstatic, and the upsurge lasted for a long time. The heat is very high. In other words, the political environment in France is much hotter than that in the United Kingdom.

Naturally, some basic information about Algeria had to be known to people like Heidi Rama who don't care much about politics along with the wave of enthusiasm.

"Are you going to suppress it too?" Heidi Rama asked after thinking about it, a look of worry flashed in her eyes. If it was suppressed, Sudan might cause conflicts. She had to be a little worried. Facing the terrible danger of war, The woman was still a little panicked when she responded.

"No, the method adopted by France is definitely not adopted by the UK." Alan Wilson denied it flatly, adding, "Generally, we will use political means to solve problems."

The fact is that the UK has no extra troops to suppress. Before the British competed with France from the colonial era to the First World War, the outcome was quite obvious. The British occupied areas with better land and a higher degree of civilization.

The consequence is that the resistance faced by Britain is generally more difficult to deal with than that faced by France.

If you choose the same suppression as France, French Africa is within the combat range of France, and the combat distance of Britain is farther than that of France, and the cost of suppression will be greater.

Compared with the colonies before the war, Algeria is considered to be the best among the French colonies.But I believe that any normal person would not think that Algeria or Vietnam can be compared with British India.

The national will may be higher, but this cannot make up for the gap in all aspects. After independence, India can beat Vietnam to death.If Vietnam goes to war with India, it will be able to take advantage of it at the beginning, but if there is a little mistake, it will collapse across the board.

"What is the so-called mature political method?" Heidi Lamarr didn't think that what Alan Wilson said was literal. He also met this man in New Delhi. Hollywood locks.

"You'll know when the time comes, hehe." Alan Wilson smiled lightly, he was really embarrassed to say that he wanted to divide and conquer.After all, this trick has already been used once. Although this is the result of the two major religions themselves, Britain was reluctant to do it at first.

The area of ​​British Sudan is 250 million square kilometers, which is more than twice that of Egypt. In terms of size alone, Sudan should be the big brother of Egypt. But in fact, for most countries, the size of the population determines the strength of a country Or not, war needs the support of the population after all.

Sudan has a population of about 700 million, of whom the ratio of Arabs to blacks is about four to one.There are more than 500 million Arabs, and more than 100 million blacks in South Sudan.

The population of Egypt is more than three times that of Sudan. When there is no population explosion, Egypt's national power is far stronger than Sudan.

Of course, in the eyes of many people in later generations, the division of Sudan is another powerful evidence of British colonization, and they believe that the result of the division was landmines planted by the UK. In the eyes of Alan Wilson, this is even more nonsensical than the partition of India and Pakistan.

Arabs or blacks, which one is better to deal with?It's as if there is no Britain, people will live in harmony and love each other as a family.Everyone can stand and talk without back pain.

Judging from the ratio of population to area, Alan Wilson is still quite confident. The population is only at the level of Hyderabad, or even worse. Sudan is an existence that cannot resist for the United Kingdom.

In the British embassy in Cairo, Egypt, Alan Wilson declared in front of his colleagues in the Foreign Office and the Sudanese Commissioner John, "The future of the entire Sudan is in my hands, as long as I draw a pencil on the map. , is the birth of a new nation.”

The British at the embassy laughed loudly and raised their glasses to express their agreement. They knew that this sentence was the boast of Prime Minister Lloyd George when he was discussing with the French Prime Minister at the Paris Peace Conference. under the pencil.

At this time, Alan Wilson, speaking of the famous words of the Paris Peace Conference, expressed his invincible determination, "A colony with a population of 700 million, what do we want to do, how to do it? No one needs to teach, as long as we do it to the British It is beneficial, regardless of what other countries think."

"That's right! Cheers!" The colleagues of the British embassy agreed loudly, applauding this imperialist term very much.

"Alan, what are your specific thoughts this time?" John held his wine glass and asked if he had any ideas.

"The size of the fart is bigger, do you still need to find a way? Hmph..." Alan Wilson drank the liquid in the cup and said nonchalantly, "If you dare to mess with me, I might take out one of them. It’s a bad plan. It’s not good for everyone.”

Khartoum is the current capital of Sudan. Khartoum is the confluence of two Nile Rivers. There is a small island in the middle of the river bed before the Blue Nile River meets the White Nile River. The water meets the White Nile River on the south side of the island, flows forward, and joins another stream of water at the northern end of the island. The Blue and White Nile River is thus merged into one, called the Nile River, and then flows northward to Egypt.

Although the total population of Sudan is only 700 million, Khartoum is a real city with a population of one million.The whole city looks very Arabian.

After staying in Egypt for a few days, Alan Wilson and John took a plane with their assistants and landed in the airport built by the United Kingdom, officially arriving in this independent city.

At the same time, in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, in the palace of Emperor Haile Selassie I, a white face in a suit was communicating with His Majesty the Emperor. influence in Africa and should have a say on the situation in Sudan."

Chapter 815 Colonial Sequelae

"Mr. Charlie, I understand the British side's request, but there is one thing that I am unwilling to correct again." Haile Selassie I said with a condescending attitude, "I am white."

"Of course, Your Majesty, you are the heir to King Solomon and Queen Sheba."

Charlie smiled and said, "I would like to explain from several angles, regarding the British request to His Majesty the Emperor's concern about the situation in Sudan. First of all, the British Empire, like Ethiopia, is a monarchy. In today's world, because of the United States and the Soviet Union The reason is that many monarchy countries are in a very dangerous situation. The London side hopes that His Majesty the Emperor can take care of the stability of Africa."

"As for the other point, it is from a religious point of view. Ethiopia, like many European countries, is a part of the Christian world. You are a descendant of King Solomon and Queen Sheba. But your country is surrounded by many peace religion countries. Whether it is to protect the Christian world, or the current hostility towards Israel in the Arab world, you cannot stand idly by."

"What's more, the area of ​​Sudan is too large. Egypt and Sudan are inextricably linked. Once Sudan succeeds in independence, there will be consequences that many people do not want to happen. For example, the merger of Egypt and Sudan will affect Ethiopia's development in Africa The detached position is a moderate challenge."

Charlie put forward many reasons, whether it is from the perspective of religion, geography or Haile Selassie I himself, there are reasons to help Britain control things this time.

Every word he said is true. The title of Haile Selassie I alone is "the lion of the Jewish people" and "the special envoy of God". , It is incompatible with the surrounding Peace Church countries.

The Israeli government is indeed showing favor to Ethiopia now, after all, Israel is surrounded by Arab countries.

A sea of ​​Arabs can accidentally be driven into the sea. In order to open up the isolation situation, Israel is very fond of Ethiopia, which is behind Egypt. I will not say whether this favor is sincere, but Israel is indeed expressing its closeness.

Haile Selassie I did not speak, and was obviously considering whether to express his views on the situation in Sudan.

Because of its performance in the war with Italy, except for Liberia, the African trumpet of the United States, Ethiopia is the only country in Africa that survived the colonial wave.

There are indeed many African political figures who have been calling on Haile Selassie I to take a stand on the African independence movement.Vaguely regarded Haile Selassie I as the savior of Africa.

In fact, Haile Selassie I has indeed met many leaders of the independence movement in the past few years, and there are people everywhere, but he rarely expresses his position on the independence movement.

This time when Britain came to visit, Haile Selassie I was very suspicious of the real actions of the British. After all, Haile Selassie I himself had suffered from the British in the past.

But Charlie asked Haile Selassie I to cooperate with Britain's move to partition Sudan, which dispelled his doubts.

As the monarch of a country, he is still clear about the situation in Ethiopia, and the British is right.

The current series of problems, as the other party said, are what he and his country must face.

Africa is actually two worlds. Northern Africa is the world of the Peace Church, and this world is the result of the Arab Empire's gobble-up.Africa, south of the Sahara Desert, is the Christian world.

The Christian world comes from the result of the wave of colonization launched by Europe, and the black world was drawn into the Christian world to become a part of it.

And Ethiopia is just at the junction in the middle. Most of the people in Ethiopia are Christians, including Haile Selassie I himself. The population advantage of peace believers exists, but it is not obvious.

"Mr. Charlie, Ethiopia is willing to express a fair attitude on the rights and interests of black people in southern Sudan." Haile Selassie I's consideration finally came to fruition, "I believe, this is rewarding, isn't it?"

"Of course, the UK is willing to give political and material support to His Majesty's reforms." Charlie said with a happy smile, "London is happy to see the country led by His Majesty become the backbone of stability in Africa."

In Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, Alan Wilson received a telegram from his colleague Charlie and immediately expressed his gratitude in the reply.

Ethiopia's statement is important to the current situation in Sudan.Although Haile Selassie I claimed to be white, this did not prevent the blacks from treating him as a savior. In fact, as long as he was not blind, he could not stare at the dark face of the other party against his will and say that Haile Selassie I was white.

This year happens to be the 25th anniversary of Haile Selassie I's accession to the throne, and Ethiopia is indeed undergoing reform.

In addition to requiring the election of the House of Representatives, the main reforms include the following provisions, such as reaffirming the emperor's hereditary system; stipulating that the country's largest gold mine should be turned into the emperor's private property, etc.

"Is the white emperor willing to help?" John came over after a while and asked Haile Selassie I's attitude. He is the Sudanese commissioner, and of course he knows the situation around Sudan very well, including the Ethiopian emperor who claims to be white. .

"It's not a big problem." Alan Wilson handed the telegram from Ethiopia to John and said, "In fact, we can express some real information, and let him judge whether it makes sense."

From the beginning to the end, he believed that it would not be difficult for Haile Selassie I to make a statement favorable to partition.

Although this may lead to hostility from post-independence Sudan, especially North Sudan, the benefits of splitting neighboring countries into two parts are real compared to vain hostility.

You ask the Chinese to divide India into North and South India. It only needs China to express its support. Will the Chinese agree?By the same token, Ethiopia definitely wants its neighbors to be as weak as possible.

The so-called unfavorable British diplomacy is just based on the current situation. The most fundamental reason is that Britain is strong enough, and the performance of Britain in later generations is far from the standard. It does not necessarily mean that the British diplomacy in the 21st century is poor, but that the strength is not enough. Lost the ability to make the best use of the situation.

"Now there are two major political parties in Sudan, both of which are based on Arabs in the north. The blacks in the south are still a little behind. Of course, there is still a black-dominated army in the south, called the Equatorial Army." John introduced the current political situation in Sudan.

Both political parties were established during World War II. Nationalist parties emerged one after another. The National People's Party headed by Bud Rahman Mahdi, the former, with the Hartemia sect as the pillar, advocated unity with Egypt, and implemented "unification of the Nile Valley"; the latter, relying on the Mahdi faction, proposed that "Sudan is Sudanese", the goal is to get rid of Anglo-Egyptian rule and achieve independence.

"The political party united with Egypt is really annoying. Is the situation controllable? The garrison can maintain the current stable situation." Alan Wilson snorted after hearing this, and spoke to Ismail Aza, who advocated union with Egypt I don't like it.

"The Sudanese army has 2 people, including the black Equator Army." John replied without thinking, "It's not a big problem."

Of course, it's not a big problem, [-] British troops are enough to deal with an army of this size, Alan Wilson said with a smile, "Then I can rest assured, this is simply an ideal venue for us to showcase our talents."

Of the two current parties, one of them seems to have a close relationship with Egypt, which is very unlikable.Alan Wilson knew the original history, and Egypt and Sudan did not merge in the end, but he still had to be on guard.

Nasser originally led Egypt, and Egypt agreed to Sudan's independence, so Britain had to agree to independence.But the current ruler of Egypt is Farouk I, not Nasser who no one knows where he went.

History has changed, who said that there will be no adverse effects on Britain?

In fact, the two major political parties in Sudan have already known that the Sudanese commissioner has returned to Khartoum and brought back a person to discuss the agenda of independence. Both political parties are preparing to fight for the conditions of independence from the United Kingdom.

Among them, the position of the Sudan Brothers Party is that under the rule of the common Egyptian king, within the joint system of Sudan and Egypt, the following items will be its main goals: to ensure the welfare of the Sudanese people, to ensure the development of their interests, and to ensure the development of their interests. Active preparations for self-government and the consequent exercise of power to choose the future status of the Sudan.The agreement of [-] shall remain in force until the last object can be achieved in full unanimity after consultations between the contracting parties and the Sultan.

If Alan Wilson agrees, there will be ghosts. He would rather cut Darfur out of Sudan than agree to this idea.

Before meeting with the two parties, Alan Wilson first went to the British camp in Khartoum. At this time, the garrison was the most trustworthy. On the second day, he began to count the number of British diaspora in Sudan and make a plan for evacuation.
