British civil servant

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing that the man's condition was not right, Heidi Lama hurried over to help him and said, "Don't scare me, why does it seem like you're trying to force yourself? What's wrong?"

"Where is it uncomfortable? My body is a little cold, and my head is a little hot." Alan Wilson panted and joked, "I'm not wrong. Although this place is closer to the equator, the temperature is much cooler than Khartoum."

"Still in the mood to make a joke." Heidi Lamarr wanted to reach out to hammer Alan Wilson, but she put it down, leaned over and touched her man's forehead with her red lips, and then said, "The temperature is wrong, call and get some Medicines. Or send a telegram, this place is remote, if you don’t take it seriously, it will be troublesome.”

Alan Wilson looked at Heidi Lamarr's face with an undiminished smile, and waited until the words were finished, "You are like a wife in my imagination, and now you don't burn too much, otherwise I would think I was dreaming .”

Heidi Rama said angrily, "Then you can resist with your body, I don't care."

"Send me a telegram to North Rhodesia. John is dealing with Khartoum, don't bother him this time." Alan Wilson said tremblingly, "the analgesic garrison has it, but I Worrying about you being discovered, Grace already knew you, so it won’t be a surprise to meet you when you come here.”

He was embarrassed to let his wife who returned to London for business activities know about this kind of trivial matter. With the memory in his mind, Alan Wilson felt that he could carry it through with the help of drugs for at most two days a day.

Pamela Mountbatten didn't know that her husband was struggling with a minor illness, and what Mountbatten was most concerned about at the moment was undoubtedly the discovery of oil in the North Sea, which was also the purpose of his return to London.

Pamela Mountbatten, who has been away from the country for most of the time, returned to London for the purpose of negotiating with the two major oil companies, to show that the Mountbatten Group will not eat alone, and another thing is the issue of demarcation.

I don't know why the Ministry of Foreign Affairs didn't follow my husband's suggestion, maybe they forgot, or they didn't get the demarcation done properly.Now she feels that maybe the Ministry of Foreign Affairs needs some support, especially the support of the Navy.

Starting from the relationship between father and daughter, after obtaining the approval of the First Sea Lord, Pamela Mountbatten proceeded to the next step, planning to have a good talk with BP and Shell.

She has always believed in her husband, and what the husband said about not eating alone is more long-term, that is, even more long-term.

After Makins learned that the richest man in Britain had returned to his country, he immediately gave up the messy chores and came to meet him. Pamela Mountbatten was very grateful for this, Lord Sheffield who had a good relationship with BP.

"My lord, I need your help this time." Although she was able to bypass the other party to do the same thing, Pamela Mountbatten still sacrificed a little efficiency to ensure the success rate.

"No problem. With the relationship between me and Allen, of course I am willing to do my best." Maggins was energetic, but a trace of hidden worry flashed on his face from time to time, which was noticed by Pamela Mountbatten.

"My lord, is there something bothering you? Why don't you tell me!" Pamela Mountbatten said with great interest, "Maybe I can help."

"The Metropolitan Police Department has been in some trouble recently, and it has something to do with me." Makins smiled wryly. He didn't understand how a small subway incident could attract so much attention. These concerns put enormous pressure on the London City Hall.

"So that's the case." Pamela Mountbatten's eyes flashed with pity. It turned out that her husband let herself support the women's movement to make matters worse, but in the end it fell on his good friend.

She knew her husband very well, and she never did things without reason. This incident didn't take long, but it caught her attention in the telegram. There must be a reason.

Although the Lord Sheffield in front of him is not a high-ranking knight, he is quite powerful among London civil servants.

Coupled with the close relationship with BP, Pamela Mountbatten felt that she had found the wealth code.

Immediately, Pamela Mountbatten's face changed, "Alan once said that the biggest supporter of the women's movement is the Soviet Union, which is simply a means to subvert the free world. People dare not say it. Dear lord, if there is no strong response, there may be conspiracy in the future."

"It's not that serious, is it?" Maggins' face was uncertain. If such a thing really happened, it would be a huge trouble for him.

"This is an inference of guilt. My lord, if they succeed this time. You need to know the follow-up effect of case law." Pamela Mountbatten raised her eyebrows, she now understood what her husband meant, lit the fire by herself and then hid away away, and let her wife come back and put out the fire.

Maybe Allen Wilson didn't think so much at the beginning, but after knowing the discovery of the North Sea oil field, he had the idea of ​​connecting the two things together. He needed Makins' help, and at the same time he didn't want to owe favors.

The two ends blocked Makins in the middle, and it was difficult to ride a tiger. I have to say that Pamela Mountbatten felt that her husband was finished.

"It is impossible to back down now. We have to face it head-on. To settle this kind of incident, the court must go. I don't believe that a small women's movement can really confront the London City Hall. Lord, I am willing to provide All the help. After all, your relationship with Allen is worth it."

Maggins also thought it made sense, not knowing that all the problems were caused by a couple, and then skipped this topic, "Thank you for your help, Ma'am, I am very grateful for the meeting between BP and Shell, I It will definitely help to have a good result.”

"Then thank you, Lord. Allen always said that you are one of his few friends." Pamela Mountbatten said with a smile, half-truth, "If everything goes well, I believe that the Lord's way is on the way." The future is bright."

For this meeting, Pamela Mountbatten's purpose is for the three major oil companies to form a group, behind the united front, to discuss the interests of oil and gas fields with the British government.As for cleaning up the women's movement, Pamela Mountbatten believes that it is not a problem. She is also a woman, and only magic can defeat magic.

Chapter 821 Oil and Food

If you want to say which thing is more important, of course it is oil. Pamela Mountbatten just asks her assistant Marina to pay attention to the women's movement, and the main focus is still on the Brent oil field.

The most urgent task is to determine the quality of Brent oil, which needs to be done by the British Ministry of Science and Industrial Research. The National Fuels Research Institute under its jurisdiction can give the three major oil companies a reassurance in terms of oil quality and cost.

The British Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, which has twenty industry industrial research associations, was established in [-].It can be said that if the British Ministry of Science and Industrial Research is not optimistic, then the future of Brent oil will have twists and turns.

At the headquarters of British Petroleum Corporation in London, Mayfair Brown personally came down to greet Pamela Mountbatten and Shell Oil Company President Ekberg. Shell Oil Company was established in 1990 and was specially authorized by the Queen of the Netherlands, so it was Named Royal Dutch Petroleum Company.

In order to compete with Standard Oil of the United States, the largest oil company at that time, the company implemented a two-headquarters holding system, of which the Dutch capital accounted for 60.00%, and the United Kingdom accounted for 40.00%. The two headquarters were respectively located in Rotterdam, the Netherlands and London, the United Kingdom.

So for the UK, Shell Petroleum is of course one of its own. The three greeted each other and walked into the headquarters of BP.

"Pamela, I haven't seen you for a while, but you are still so handsome." Phil Brown said as he walked, "Your business sense is a model for the whole world, even in the United States across the Atlantic. your business story."

"Mr. Mayfair is too polite. Compared with the two gentlemen who have been in the business field for decades, I still have a lot to learn." Pamela Mountbatten responded politely, saying that she reported to both BP and Shell. With great respect.

"Thanks to Allen for his help during the Iranian oil crisis and achieved good results for our company." Mayfair Brown expressed his thanks.

The two parties actually formed a good relationship before, and the British Petroleum Company was actually the former Anglo-Iranian Petroleum Company.

During the Iranian oil crisis two years ago, it was Alan Wilson who went to the Middle East to negotiate, and finally made things go smoothly.

Although the United Kingdom supports BP, during the year of the Iranian oil crisis, BP has indeed suffered heavy losses. As long as the confrontation begins, it will definitely have to pay the price.

Compared with the two oil giants that have been renamed BP and Shell, the history of Mountbatten Petroleum Company is short and terrible, and it is less than five years.But this short period of time is completely incomprehensible in the eyes of others.

Pamela Mountbatten first discovered oil in Libya, then squeezed into the Persian Gulf during the Iranian oil crisis, and discovered high-quality oil in Algeria before.

This is still the oil field familiar to Mayfair Brown and Ekeberg. No one will forget that the Mountbatten Group discovered the iron ore in Western Australia before.If the appearance of the Mountbatten Group can be explained by luck, it is too lucky.

The three of them entered the meeting room and sat down to discuss how to distribute the benefits of Brent Oil.

"We all know the importance of oil resources to the country, especially to Europe." Pamela Mountbatten explained softly, "To be honest, based on the current news, the government wants to nationalize important industries. It's not a secret."

Both Mayfair Brown and Eckberg nodded, Prime Minister Attlee's manifesto combining the best of socialism and capitalism was familiar to no one.

Moreover, since the discovery of Brent oil, the Labor Party government has claimed that this is a new economic growth point in the UK. The Labor Party is so enthusiastic, it is hard to worry about whether it wants to nationalize Brent Oil. After all, many industries have already been nationalized. pass.

"Of course we hope to combine the advantages of the two systems." Phil Brown said meaningfully, "Pamela, I believe you think so too."

The last round of British nationalization of major industries did not harm the interests of the public. The nationalization of the Labor Party was bought with money, and a total of 20 billion pounds was invested to complete the last round of nationalized industries.

If this is the case, none of the three will object. It must be known that the sea conditions in the North Sea are complicated and the extra cost is quite high.The storm surges of previous years have been enough to torment London and the Netherlands.

In the eyes of Mayfair Brown and Ekberg, nationalization means that the state buys oil shares as shareholders and completes some difficult tasks that private individuals cannot afford. It is called combining the advantages of capitalism and socialism.

"Our three companies must take a stand to deal with the government." Ekberg said unhurriedly, "Only in this way can the greatest interests be preserved, and the initial investment should preferably be funded by the state."

Both Pamela Mountbatten and Mayfair Brown nodded in approval, which was the result they both hoped for.Let the country finish the most difficult things, and everyone will rush to get the benefits.

In fact, Pamela Mountbatten thinks more. In addition to supplying the UK, Brent Oil can also serve Europe.In order to increase the economic influence on Europe.

If Alan Wilson was here, he would be very relieved. The little girl who was knocked dizzy by a handful of diamonds has grown up.

It's a pity that he is fighting against the serious illness in Juba. According to his thinking, this kind of cold will be over after taking painkillers and sweating a little.Things did develop like this, but not so fast.

After Grace arrived in Juba with a group of Chetniks, Alan Wilson was still laying his body in the house, with his head resting on Heidi Lamarr's long legs, lying down to thank Grace for coming.

"Mr. Wilson, it's very different from what I imagined. I really don't think it's too serious." Grace has seen Heidi Rama, and she won't be able to recognize her because she is wearing an Arabic robe.

"Oh, my friend, it's really heartbreaking for you to be like this. I'm not bad to the Slavs. I don't dare to say that I have been kind, but I have been helping." Alan Wilson stretched out his hand and touched his forehead that was still a little hot. It’s not too much to ask you to come over to help because of the intimacy between them.”

"Of course you are good at solving the independence movement." Grace nodded, "But it doesn't seem to have anything to do with us. We will stay in Northern Rhodesia."

"It doesn't matter. In the future, the maintenance of British influence in Africa will need to be done through your North Rhodesia." Alan Wilson retorted, "Whether it is a royal territory or a dominion, you are a place dominated by white people. In the black country, it is not politically correct. But by defending blacks, provoking blacks and Arabs, the contradiction between Christianity and peace, maybe it will be a change for Northern Rhodesia, which is under siege.”

Grace curled his lips. He didn't think Alan Wilson's words would come true. This was just an excuse for him to help. He went straight to the point and said, "Alan, you know. I'm very busy."

"There is really one thing I want you to help, about India." Alan Wilson thought for a while, "Although the Bandung Conference made London and Washington very dissatisfied, the free world still focuses on wooing India. .But you also understand that a Labor government tends to do more with less."

"So what are you going to do?" Grace frowned slightly, thinking about it, she didn't think there was any connection between the two places.

"Agricultural revolution, Pamela has recently made efforts in the field of agriculture, and according to our information, after the first five-year plan, India's agricultural development has not changed. Nehru's national development strategy is mainly in the industry There are still famines in India now. Helping India in this field can export British agricultural technology and hold India hostage from seeds.”

Even in Africa, Alan Wilson is still concerned about whether the Indian people can have enough to eat.The colonists were astounded to do this.

While Nehru presided over the Bandung Conference, India was importing a large amount of American food to meet the needs of Indians.

This is not a good thing for the United Kingdom. India’s imports and exports are settled in pounds, and its connection with the United States has become closer, which will weaken the pound and increase the share of the dollar in circulation.

For Alan Wilson, he just got his wife to invest more in agriculture, and now he needs a test field.And India, which has a very good relationship with the Mountbatten family, is more suitable.

During Nehru’s period, India experienced famines from time to time. Her daughter Indira Gandhi took over as Prime Minister of India. Facing India’s food crisis, she changed her father’s thinking and policy measures of emphasizing industry and neglecting agriculture, and accepted agricultural experts and the World Bank. Opinions, established the implementation of agricultural "green revolution" policy in India.

For example, a large number of high-yielding grains have been introduced to countries around the world, scientific farming measures have been adopted on a large scale, investment and construction of agricultural irrigation systems have been strengthened, and incentives of various names have been set up throughout India to fully support farmers in using new technologies in modern agriculture. Increase food production and enthusiasm for crops.

Pamela Mountbatten's road to grain merchants, the Isthmus of Cara is just the beginning, and Northern Rhodesia is not the focus.He hoped that his wife's grain business would lead to India.

"Okay!" Grace thought for a moment, "Actually, we and Rhodesia are also working hard to develop agriculture. If Pamela is interested in cooperating, we can benefit from each other."

"Absolute mutual benefit, you may not believe it when you say it, but I believe in you the most in Africa." Alan Wilson continued a little more energetically, "We want to combine both advantages."

Finally, under the careful care of Heidi Rama, Alan Wilson recovered from his illness, and he could have a deep talk with Joseph Agu about the future of South Sudan. During his illness, I believe Joseph Agu should have thought a lot. He had a hunch that this time there would be results.

Chapter 822 Juba Talks

Joseph Agu, who appeared again, remained unchanged from last time, except for a different set of clothes.The purpose has not changed, and I want to get the promise of partition here from Alan Wilson.

He also knew that he didn't have many cards in his hand, and he had to satisfy some interests of Britain to achieve his goal.In the past few days, he has already figured it out. Compared with the British who are far away in the sky, the Arabs are more terrifying.

"The colonel's sharp thinking is rare among blacks." Alan Wilson spoke and praised Joseph Agu from the perspective of racial discrimination.

Joseph Agu didn't know whether he was facing praise or ridicule, his dark face fluctuated, but he had to bow his head under the eaves, and could only mutter, "Mr. Wilson is too polite."

Joseph Agu is very unhappy now when he is scolded and greeted with a smile, but he still needs the support of the United Kingdom, so he can only pretend that he didn't hear it. "We know the Arabs very well, and we don't want to coexist with them in the same country."

"This judgment is correct." Alan Wilson appreciated, "You have a small number and your culture is also at a disadvantage. Once you stay in the same country with Arabs, you will only be marginalized. I have always respected Arabs. They are Before the Industrial Revolution, the greatest enemy of Christendom."

Alan Wilson even believed that the peace religion civilization in the agricultural era was in a position to beat other civilizations.The Arabs created the religion of peace, and it spread throughout Eurasia in less than a hundred years. Persia was originally the Zhajiao religion, the Near East was originally the territory of the Orthodox Church, South Asia was the territory of Hinduism, and the vicinity of Central Asia was originally the radiation belt of Buddhism and Confucianism. North Africa and Spain are predominantly Catholic.

But in the end, the Peace Sect defeated all these opponents. If India had not been colonized by the British, it is very likely that from the Strait of Gibraltar to Southeast Asia, it would be the territory of the Peace Sect.

The expansion speed of the Peace Church in the agricultural era dwarfed the Christian countries in Europe and defeated more than one powerful civilization.So in Africa, it will only be easier and not more difficult to deal with a group of black people who are pecking at each other.

"I want to know, what price will we pay if Britain divides Sudan?" Joseph Agu asked.

"Independence may be later. About five years. Of course, this is beyond my power. It is my estimate." Allen Wilson said, "First of all, South Sudan will go through a period of co-government. The colonial government and the party you formed jointly manage South Sudan. During this process, Colonel Joseph can learn how to manage a country. In all fairness, this is not more difficult than independence."

"Five years?" Joseph Agu frowned, "Does that mean that South Sudan will be independent by five years if it is partitioned?"

"This is responsible for South Sudan. Independence is only the beginning. If Colonel Joseph feels that the newly independent country is not much different from the colony, then he may not listen to anything, but I remind one thing. Although we are not like the French Tough, but also dislikes politicians who don't cooperate with the UK."

Alan Wilson lowered his voice, "In principle, we hope that everyone can live a long and healthy life, but there are always accidents in the world."

He is threatening me?This was Joseph Agu's intuitive reaction, but he immediately retorted, "Mr. Wilson, this is my territory, and my Equatorial Army is nearby."

"What is your territory? This is the territory of the British Empire." Alan Wilson laughed straight, "Maybe this will be your territory in the future, but it will be yours if the UK gives it to you. If the UK doesn't give it to you, you can't grab it."

"I want to discuss it with everyone." Joseph Agu did not refuse, although the British guy in front of him spoke very rudely.

But things have become obvious now that the British will definitely leave. The difference is whether to leave immediately or wait a few years before leaving.But once the British left, the Arabs became a big problem.

Given the current situation in Sudan, if the British do not divide and rule, South Sudan will soon be marginalized once it becomes independent.So for blacks in South Sudan, Arabs are more of a threat.

Joseph Agu expressed that he would go back and think about it, and Alan Wilson continued to recover his body, relying on Heidi Lamarr to help him sweat.

"It seems that the conversation is good, and the body is also strong." Heidi Lamarr turned her back to the man very satisfied, showing her smooth back, and took the opportunity to clean up her body.

"Britain is far away, and the Arabs are close at hand. Most countries will choose this way." Alan Wilson said confidently, "So the neighbors of the Soviet Union are very afraid of it, but Britain's neighbors are not necessarily."

"Except for the French." Heidi Lamarr turned around and smiled slightly.

"Except..." Alan Wilson pursed his lips and compensated, "even the French."

A few days later, Joseph Agu returned again, showing South Sudan's final attitude, "We want to be independent from the Arabs. As long as Britain can guarantee this, other things can be discussed."

"Very good." Alan Wilson agreed immediately, "So Colonel Joseph, are you willing to wait for some time for this? If yes, I have an idea. While the British army can still control the situation in Sudan, South Sudan can carry out a A referendum. Of course I am willing to run for it and create a fait accompli."

"Yes!" Joseph Agu nodded in agreement, and then asked, "What is the referendum issue?"

"Whether the black people in South Sudan are willing to live in a country with the Arabs." Alan Wilson is full of confidence, "I believe that the result of the referendum will be satisfactory."

The result of the referendum is now predictable, with a 100% chance of getting the result the UK wants.Even Alan Wilson has thought of a reasonable excuse for making South Sudan independent of Khartoum's management, which can kill two birds with one stone and be recognized by the United States.

The reason lies in the black slave trade. The Arabs also carried out the black slave trade. For the blacks in South Sudan, the Arabs in the north began to hunt down the blacks in the south in the [-]th century and sell slaves.Hatred is born from this.

The black slave trade was a lucrative business. In the [-]th century, European colonists poured into Sudan to start commercial companies.They provided the Arabs in northern Sudan with large quantities of weapons and encouraged them to round up black people.

In the face of huge economic benefits, the Arabs could not stand the temptation, so they organized armed hunting teams to carry out inhumane arrests of black people in the south, causing a large number of families to be separated and their families destroyed.

Its roots are in the United States, but the people who practice it are Arabs. The most hated object of blacks is not the European and American countries that they have never seen before, but the Arabs who organize armed slave hunting teams.

On the issue of black slaves, the United States, the lighthouse of the world at this moment, will not oppose the partition of South Sudan because of this.The racial discrimination against blacks in the United States is another matter, but the slave trade has been politically incorrect since the Civil War.

As long as public opinion is used to remind the black people in South Sudan of the past, I believe that once the referendum starts, the support for South Sudan's independence is not 90.00%, but [-]%.

Since the guarantee was obtained from Joseph Agu, it is impossible not to sign a secret agreement in black and white.The content of the secret agreement is that once South Sudan votes to be independent from the management of Khartoum, it will not seek independence from the United Kingdom within five years, the British garrison in South Sudan will remain as usual, and all interests will be protected by South Sudan.

Joseph Agu agreed to all these terms, and Alan Wilson began to send telegrams to John, informing himself of the results of coming to Juba, and discussing the next step.

"It is now clear that blacks in South Sudan also want independence from Khartoum. The referendum partition is a solution to the problem, and separate independence for Arabs and blacks is listed as the stated policy for Sudan's independence. Now The problem is that we need to trick the leaders of the Arabs to come to Juba in the name of discussing the future of Sudan, and at the same time start promoting the independence referendum in South Sudan. If possible, let the back of the US office in Khartoum Ambassador, bear a witness."

In Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, British Sudan Commissioner John took Alan Wilson's telegram, carefully understood the meaning of the telegram, and then fell into deep thought.
