British civil servant

Even Nehru himself rarely saw such a scene. He could not forget the welcome scene just now when he returned to the Prime Minister's Office, and this is what he pursued and fought for all the time.

After Patel's death, Nehru devoted himself to unifying the Congress Party organizationally and ideologically.What Nehru advocated was a uniquely Indian style of socialism.

Nehru has repeatedly emphasized that industrialization is the only way.Instead of using power or deprivation to change the existing social system and ownership structure, but under the premise of parliamentary democracy, nationalize basic and important industries, and implement cooperative and collective management of agricultural land.

The mixed economy has become a system and the core of India's long-term economic strategy.

The public and private sectors coexist, with the public sector as the dominant factor.The state regulates the mixed economy effectively by means of planning.

In this case, the assets of the Tata Group and the Birla Consortium of up to [-] million U.S. dollars were unscathed. Since it is impossible to use strong means to deal with these large groups, then we must think of other ways.

Fortunately, in the first five-year plan, Nehru did not need to face tough opponents, and some power stations and a number of large-scale water conservancy projects were established.For industrial development, capital investment focuses on transportation and key industrial sectors, especially basic industries such as chemical fertilizers, steel, and machine tools.A number of state-owned enterprises were established.Three state-owned iron and steel enterprises that attracted foreign investment from the United Kingdom, the Federal Republic of Germany and the Soviet Union broke ground.

Although he didn't want to fall out with the United States, the Mysore iron mine was extremely important to India. Nehru still could not tolerate this iron mine, which was extremely important to India, being out of the control of the Indian government.

In general, apart from the fact that the Mysore iron mine cannot be compromised, Nehru is quite restrained in other matters.

But he knew very well that the first five-year plan could be regarded as a fine-tuning after India's independence. When the second five-year plan started, it would no longer be a trivial matter, and the resistance he would face would be unprecedentedly huge.

He needed popular support to face this resistance, and the greater the resistance, the more support Nehru needed.

Land reform is the core of the agricultural development strategy. This is what Nehru must do, otherwise India will not undergo earth-shaking changes. He does not need to pursue a one-step process, but he can take it slowly, but it must be done.

Although the road ahead is difficult, Nehru believes that he can solve India's problems.

Nehru, who was in a good mood, even his daughter Indira Gandhi could tell. Indira Gandhi, who hadn’t seen her father for more than half a month, expressed congratulations to Nehru, “This time India has raised India’s position in the world. Of course, I have also heard that Japan, Liberia, and the Philippines, which speak for the United States, have caused a lot of trouble."

"There are troubles." Faced with his daughter's question, Nehru did not evade, and explained some of the problems faced in the Bandung Conference, including extremely difficult diplomatic issues.

In fact, if we were to be honest, would we support China and North Vietnam in such a high-level meeting?Among the more than 20 participating countries, speak for these two countries that have just embarrassed the United States and France?Only India itself.

India struggled to find supporters at the Bandung Conference, and in the end only Myanmar helped India say a few words.

"Although the relationship between India and the United States is not good, but this time my father must have made the United States very angry." After hearing this, Indira Gandhi couldn't help but feel a little worried. "With the arrogant personality of the Americans, will there be trouble?"

The low tide of India and the United States comes from Kashmir, which is the hometown of the Nehru family. The United States wants to make Kashmir independent. How could the Nehru family agree?At the same time, the United States is very dissatisfied with India's reluctance to approach the United States, and is always very dissatisfied with what it says about independence internationally. After the Korean War, it began to provide military assistance to Pakistan.

"Indira, India is not a small country, and the United States is not the only powerful country in the world. Mr. Khrushchev is very kind to India." Nehru was not very worried. He believed that with India's size, Neither the United States nor the Soviet Union is willing to be left out in the cold. Even if the relationship is bad, it will not last long.

After listening to his father's words, Indira Gandhi nodded in agreement for a long time, and did not continue to delve into this issue. At this moment, his father is the hero of the entire India, so it is a good thing.

In Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, Alan Wilson scratched his scalp from time to time holding a telegram about the Bandung Conference, while Indian newspapers were placed on the table next to him. The newspapers reported Nehru’s return to New Delhi, and the crowds were empty.

"So many people?" John came in, saw the newspaper on the table at a glance, and commented inexplicably, "It's true, India has never lacked such things as population."

"According to Churchill's words, they reproduce like cockroaches." Alan Wilson chuckled, and then put the report of the Bandung Conference on the table. "This is outrageous. This ordinary meeting deserves such extensive coverage?"

"A coalition of a group of poor countries?" John was not optimistic at all. He glanced and found a Chinese newspaper on the table, and asked, "Are you really well-informed?"

"I am the Commissioner of Malaya, and the Bandung Conference was held next to the colony." Alan Wilson explained with a smile, "I am very guilty that I really don't know Malay, otherwise I would like to see how Sukarno Self-proclaimed."

Hehe, the two laughed at the same time, as if they remembered something happy.

"You have come to Africa, and you still care so much about the affairs of Malaya." John couldn't help sighing, "I really feel sorry for asking you to come here to help this time."

"John, don't say that. After all, we are experienced professionals. Dealing with the issue of independence is our counterpart." Alan Wilson waved his hand, "Everything is for existence, and existence is everything."

The Bandung Conference just passed, and the two just had some private discussions. On a broader level, with the geographical location of the UK, would they care about a conference that they did not attend thousands of miles away?The few remaining concerns are still on the side of the Malayan colony.

There are 3000 British troops stationed in Sudan, and there are tens of thousands of British nationals in Khartoum alone.

The two have already inquired with London about the guidelines. Some of the British troops stationed in Sudan will withdraw from Africa and return to the mainland or supplement the British troops stationed in Germany. Simply put, they return to Europe.

As for the remaining part, it is a defense change. Although it has withdrawn from Sudan, it is still stationed in the African colonies.Judging from the distance, it should be heading to Kenya, the core area of ​​British East Africa.

Neither of them had any objection to this. It was nothing more than talking to the British army, which part returned to Europe, and which part remained in Africa.Knowing this situation, John thought of a way to avoid offending the garrison.

"We can keep the officers and soldiers who form families with the locals here, and bring back the garrisons that have nothing to do with the locals." John thought while thinking, "This way the six of us can avoid letting the soldiers who form families choose."

"Then I didn't come here for nothing?" Alan Wilson shook his head directly and said unmoved, "This can avoid offending people, but it only delays the problem, and these problems will still appear in the future. Then everyone still has to worry about it." This is a headache. Since I came here, I think I can solve the problem directly, and don't bother my colleagues in the future to offend others."

"That's true." John nodded. Since Alan Wilson is willing to solve this hidden danger, he will not object.

After discussing, the two reached a consensus to investigate the marriage between the British garrison and the locals. Because there are expatriates living in Khartoum, Alan Wilson believes that the scale of intermarriage should not be large.

Under normal circumstances, most people would not choose someone from another place to form a family.Alan Wilson is an exception. As long as the hardware passes the test, he does not reject women from any country.

The survey is divided into two parts, the garrison and the diaspora, and it is also divided into two parts in the classified survey.British women married Sudanese and formed families with British men and local women.

When the investigation report was sent, Alan Wilson was not surprised at all, the latter far surpassed the former.Although the garrison should be more disciplined, the British army can be regarded as an army with good military discipline in the world, but let the officers and soldiers station in the colonies, and expect them to be monks?This is indeed difficult for the strong.

After serving in the army for several years, even looking at a pig looks pretty, not to mention that the people in Khartoum are Arabs.

"Among the garrison and expatriate men, there are more than 800 men who maintain a partner relationship, and there are less than 20 women who have families with Sudanese." Alan Wilson took the survey report, "Let me solve the men, and the dozen or so women belong to the family." you."

"I'm the Commissioner of Sudan, why don't you always keep you busy?" John said a little embarrassedly, "What should I do?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. It's easy for men to solve it. Men and women think differently." Alan Wilson said indifferently.For example, the proportion of economic conditions in marriage, if a man attaches great importance to money, he will directly say that he wants to save 20 years of struggle when encountering such problems.

Women will not, women will say some conditions that do not seem to be too high, it seems that men do not worship money as much, but these conditions are combined, few people can achieve it, and it also means that they want to save 20 years of struggle.

Chapter 819 Black Friend Wilson

"What do you want to do?" John only felt that Allen Wilson was comforting him. After all, compared with the number of women marrying out, there are too many people in the garrison and expatriates who are involved with local women.

"Tell the truth." Alan Wilson said directly, "It is obvious to tell them that they should abandon their wives and children. I believe that after consideration, they will make the right choice."

Men are not women. The so-called empathy of women is, to put it bluntly, nonsense. It cannot be said that there is no such thing as a man, but it is almost none.

At the peak of the British Empire, even the poor in the East End of London worshiped the Empire with pride.

But it is different now, the UK is already on a shrinking track, these overseas troops and expatriates must choose between imperial welfare and future life, it is impossible to have both.

They either abandon their wives and sons and return to their homeland alone, or they are scruples about the family they formed and stay soft-hearted.Since the choice can not regret it.

"Well, I think these people can do multiple-choice questions now." John sighed, this choice is destined to be difficult, in theory he also wants to find a solution that everyone can accept, but in turn, all If everyone accepts it, doesn’t that mean no one is satisfied?

"It's not yet time. We will talk to the blacks in the south, and then we will settle the matter with the two parties of the Arabs, and then we will evacuate. Of course, we will release some unconfirmable news first, so that everyone can be mentally prepared. If someone comes to ask, don’t firmly deny it.”

Alan Wilson thought for a while, and decided that this order could not be changed, and it was still necessary to complete the orderly retreat bit by bit.

Sudan will have two problems after decades, one is the independence of South Sudan, and the other is the Darfur problem.These two issues are not the same thing, especially the latter, which is geographically close to French Chad in Western Sudan.

The residents of Darfur belong to Arabs and blacks in terms of ethnicity. There are more blacks than Arabs, but they all believe in the religion of peace.This is different from South Sudan, where blacks in South Sudan do not believe in the religion of peace.

In the early years, Sudan was divided into three parallel regions: South Sudan, North Sudan and Darfur. The former two were ruled by the British colonial government, and Darfur was colonized by Ottoman Egypt.

Later, after suppressing the Mahdi uprising in the Sudan area, Britain and Egypt merged the three lands into a unified Sudan for joint rule, but in fact North Sudan and Darfur were ruled by one colonial government, and South Sudan was ruled by another Government rules.

The merger of North and South Sudan was a matter of ten years ago, and the time to become one country was quite short.

Therefore, in theory, this time Sudan is partitioned, Britain can divide Sudan into three parts, namely Sudan, West Sudan and South Sudan, corresponding to the Arabs, blacks who believe in the religion of peace, and blacks who do not believe in the religion of peace.

However, it is not good to be too fragmented, mainly because the independent West Sudan may not have a strong force to resist the invasion of French African colonies.You must know that France cares more about African issues than Britain.

Don't think that the current pattern will remain unchanged. The Rwandan massacre has the shadow of France hovering over Africa.

France wants to continue to push French culture to the British colonies, and this must be guarded against.

Therefore, there must be a prerequisite for the partition of Sudan. Even if it is partitioned, it cannot be weaker than Chad, which is dominated by French culture next to it. It must have the upper hand in terms of area and population. country, it is very difficult to resist.

So when there was a chance to divide India, Alan Wilson thought about it for a long time, but he could not divide India into many small countries. First of all, it may not be successful. The consequence of success is that a bunch of small Hindu countries have to call Pakistan Dad.

John is the Sudanese commissioner and has a much bigger target than Alan Wilson, so he has to stay in Khartoum.Negotiations with black people in South Sudan can only be done by Alan Wilson.

"It's really troublesome for you." John was a little embarrassed. Alan Wilson seemed to come to help, but in fact the other party was half a level higher than him. The higher point was that Alan Wilson was the deputy secretary-general of the Overseas Assets Management Committee.

"Make a good plan to transport the precious metals back to London, and leave the pound to Sudan for foreign exchange." Alan Wilson waved his hand indifferently, and he was ready to have a good talk with the African black uncle.

Different colonies have different colonial management methods, such as Southeast Asia, no matter which European country is colonized.They all chose to support the Chinese and suppress the local aborigines.

Of course there are sequelae. Once the colonies become independent, the Chinese have long left the impression that they are the accomplices of the colonists, and most aboriginals can see the source of inequality.

British India was more complicated. At different times, Britain had different attitudes towards Peace Religion and Hinduism.

It is difficult to say which denomination is more favorable.Who made these two religions look the same?But for Alan Wilson, the Peace Church is still more than one level higher than Hinduism.

The African region has a special matching mechanism. It’s not that the UK didn’t think about eliminating the strong and helping the weak in Sudan and treating blacks better, but after trying it, they still chose to win over Arabs honestly. Blacks are indeed not easy to support.

Returning to the sponsored villa, Alan Wilson took off his shirt. Because he had a reserve of key government knowledge, he knew that the weather in Sudan was famous for its extreme heat before he came, which was almost at the same level as Basra, the world's hottest pole.

But imagination is still different from personal experience. The temperature of [-] degrees in Khartoum is really difficult.

After entering, Alan Wilson smiled. Heidi Lamarr was lying on the big bed without a trace, facing the ceiling fan on the roof, with a big character on his body. Even Alan Wilson was unwilling to move when he came in.

"Honey, I can understand your determination to fight against the heat, but this posture makes me very embarrassed." Alan Wilson was bare-chested, but compared to the queen with a beautiful body, he was nothing.

Heidi Rama snorted, and didn't want to move at all, "I regret it, it's hotter than Malaya near the equator, and it made me burnt. If you didn't ask, who would come here A ghostly place?"

Alan Wilson is also helpless. If others say that, he will definitely expose the essence of the bar. Ask who told you that it must be hot near the equator. The places with the highest temperature in the world are all on the line of Basra, and the dimension is not close to the equator.

But looking at the way Heidi Lamarr didn't even want to move her fingers, she also knew that the actress was suffering this time, so she stepped forward and hugged Heidi Rama's uncovered body, "Okay, let's go to a different place." In a place that is too hot, talk while washing.”

"Washing and washing, it's not just a bath." Heidi Lamar hooked the man's neck, and looked straight at Alan Wilson with a pair of almond eyes. She could almost see through the essence of this man.

Regarding the serious issue of slandering the morality of the imperial commissioner, Alan Wilson said that the actress is right.

The capital of South Sudan is Juba, and it is also the largest city in South Sudan with a population of 10,000+. There is also a British army stationed there, reflecting the presence of the colonial government.

Juba is located on the banks of the White Nile. It is not comparable to Khartoum in terms of city size. The few buildings that are not bad are all related to the British colonists and were colonial facilities before the merger of Sudan.

But fortunately, although the sparrow is small and well-equipped, the conditions are not bad. Alan Wilson brought Heidi Rama, who has become accustomed to the Arabian robe, here. As far as it is concerned, it is a little friendly.

In the former Colonial Governor's Mansion, Alan Wilson met Joseph Agu, the commander of the South Sudanese Army, which the British called the Equator Army. According to his colleague John, Joseph Agu was the one who was determined to draw a line with the Arabs. South Sudanese military strongman.

The United Kingdom has always had a strong interest in merging colonies. South Sudan originally wanted to merge Uganda, but at the Juba Conference ten years ago, it finally decided to merge with North Sudan to become Sudan.

Black people in South Sudan have always been deeply dissatisfied with this, and Joseph Agu is one of the representatives.When North Sudan protested against the British withdrawal from Sudan, Joseph Agu watched coldly, and was ready to start a civil war after the British left, and wanted to fight the Arabs.

However, the empathetic Allen Wilson came here, and the matter of initiating the civil war can be delayed for a while.There are also British troops stationed in Juba. Although the number is not large, it is not a problem to deal with a so-called Equatorial Army. In fact, there are only less than 2000 troops.

"Colonel Joseph." Looking at the military rank on the other side, Alan Wilson called the other side as Colonel.

From the perspective of Africa as a whole, among the long-term candidates for launching a civil war or a military coup, Joseph Agu's military rank is already not low.

"Mr. Wilson, upon hearing of your arrival, my friends and I have prepared a gift for you." Joseph Agu came to his senses, and quickly opened his mouth to express his friendship.

Alan Wilson looked calm, but he was not interested in the other party's gift. He saw it when Joseph Agu just came in. It was ivory and two rhinoceros horns. A few crocodile skins were good, and belonged to the famous Nile. crocodile.

"It's a pity. I came here mainly to help everyone. As we all know, the United Kingdom has always respected the ideas of the nations under its jurisdiction. No matter whether it is a big nation or a small nation, all of them are treated equally." Alan Wilson drew a long voice and looked expectantly. Looking at each other said.

"Then, I don't know if South Sudan's legitimate rights and interests can be valued by London. Or if it can be successfully valued by London from the mouth of Mr. Wilson." Joseph Agu immediately said in a very sensible way.

"Very good, you see, the way to solve a business is not necessarily to find the answer, the key is to find the right question." Alan Wilson emphasized with a relaxed smile, "Let's see who can find the key question."

8 Chapter Twenty

Joseph Agu didn't want to stay in the same country with the Arabs, just like Ali Jinnah was unwilling to coexist with the Hinduism in the same country.

From the perspective of the colonists, Britain can be merged or divided, no matter how it is handled, it makes sense.

Although it is inevitable that some countries will deliberately split the colonies under their jurisdiction, whoever made Britain really a colonial empire should enjoy the benefits and be scolded.

Alan Wilson has no moral burden. He doesn't even think that the colonization is wrong, and he shouldn't apologize.

In this way, when talking with Joseph Agu, Alan Wilson was straightforward, asking what Joseph Agu wanted, and if he helped him, what Joseph Agu could bring to the UK.

It involves hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land. If Joseph Agu thinks that a little ivory rhinoceros horn can handle it, he will underestimate Alan Wilson, who manages British overseas assets.

"I don't care what I can get from the Colonel, the key is what the UK can get. If there is no benefit, we might as well do one thing more than one thing less, as if we don't hear South Sudan's call and let Sudan become independent directly, then you will only have each other What can you do to Britain if you ask for trouble?"

Alan Wilson thought to himself, Mr. Colonel, you have misunderstood. When he came to Juba, the capital of South Sudan, he definitely did not come to visit the mountains and rivers.

"We hope to be able to make our own voices. Didn't Britain carry out the Partition of India and Pakistan? We also don't want to stay with the Arabs in this country." Joseph Agu finally expressed his true thoughts.

Obviously anyone can see something, but I have to go around and around, and I haven't gotten to the point for a long time.Alan Wilson even suspected that Colonel Joseph Agu was in charge of that part, hadn't he been on the battlefield?

Both of them had a lot of time, and the first meeting didn't smell like gunpowder. They just put forward their own opinions and refuted the other party's statement. Joseph Agu obviously wanted to let Britain contribute for nothing. Although Alan Wilson did want to divide Sudan, But never let go.

Three possibilities are given after Sudan's independence. The first is to ignore Joseph Agu's voice and take a trouble-saving method to finish Britain's own affairs and directly let Sudan become independent. Joseph Agu will raise his troops to fight against Kawasaki Toum, that is a matter for Arabs and blacks themselves, and has nothing to do with Britain.

The second possibility is that before Sudan's independence, the north-south partition plan was clarified. This can be regarded as taking care of the interests of Joseph Agu, but the Arabs will definitely be dissatisfied.Everyone knows the situation in Sudan. The Arabs surpass the blacks no matter in terms of population or cultural heritage.

The third possibility is strictly an extension of the first two possibilities. Even if Sudan is independent, British East Africa is still in the hands of the United Kingdom. North Sudan may not feel much, but South Sudan is next to British East Africa.

Juba, the capital of South Sudan, Alan Wilson has a very golden metaphor, which is very close to the border of South Sudan.An African version of the emperor is properly guarding the country. Even if Sudan is independent, South Sudan must be within the radiation range of the British garrison.

Of these three possibilities, two are almost identical, and the third is completely unacceptable, at least according to Joseph Agu.

"Dear Colonel, this is not all options. For example, in the case of partition, the Arabs in North Sudan can also become independent first, and you wait for a few years for independence. Of course, during this period, you cannot drive away the British garrison, otherwise you will There is no spirit of contract." Alan Wilson was a little tired because he had traveled all the way, and his speech seemed weak.

Half an hour later, the two bid farewell to each other, and Joseph Agu was willing to go back and think about how he could strive for the best interests, whether to trust the colonists for decades or the neighbors who could not move away.

With a chaotic mind, Alan Wilson returned to the place where he lived, panting heavily.
