British civil servant

"We will make this matter an iron case. This is the best result for all parties. It doesn't matter whether the truth is true or not. The important thing is that it is beneficial to the British Empire. Even if some people have doubts, so what? Who Dare to accuse us?"

Judge Alan Wilson Changsha is possessed, and this matter is about to be settled. How can the iconic incident of provoking Arabs and blacks have the result of calming the anger, otherwise Grace and the others would not have come in vain?

People have worked so hard to come from Northern Rhodesia, just come here and shoot hundreds of people when they have nothing to do?This is also looking down on Ustasha and Chetnik, they are pursued.

Before the partition plan of Sudan, Alan Wilson, who came to work as a wingman, finally helped his old colleague to do the last thing on the side of the garrison, and confirmed that the massacre at the junction of North and South Sudan was indeed a small group of South Sudanese armed forces. The bloody massacre of innocent and kind Arab civilians was announced in advance, creating an established fact.

Major newspapers, still in the hands of Britain, began reporting the findings of the investigation in Sudan.All of a sudden, the entire Sudan was indignant, there were many bloody conflicts in various places, and there were huge earthquakes in different ethnic groups and different tribes.

"When we drew the line, did we lean towards South Sudan?" Meeting his old colleagues again, Alan Wilson, who seemed to be doing nothing, remembered the conflict between India and Pakistan because of the line-drawing, and wanted to relive the glorious history.

"The effect is not great. Sudan has a small population. Apart from being seen to be deliberate, it is estimated that the population of Sudan will expand to a certain extent in order to have an effect."

John shook his head and disagreed with Alan Wilson's opinion. For the population of British India, if the line deviated a little, it would be a melee where millions of people belonged.

How many people are there in Sudan?It would be embarrassing for the UK to plan too much, and it would be useless to plan too little, so it would be better not to do it.

"You're right!" Alan Wilson is very introspective, admits mistakes decisively, and cannot fall into the quagmire of empiricism. There are two similar flowers in the world, but they are not one after all.

Chapter 828 Nonaggression Treaty

In fact, John, as the commissioner of Sudan, knows this place far better than Alan Wilson, who was airborne.

Sudan, which covers an area of ​​250 million square kilometers, has a total population of just over 700 million. Under such circumstances, it is meaningless to count on the partiality of the line to create greater conflicts.No matter which side of North and South Sudan is, it is not like India's random disturbance that will affect the population of millions.

"Once the two parties accept the partition plan, what about the rest?" Alan Wilson asked.

"Counting from the day when the partition plan was announced, a general election will be held in North Sudan one year later." John said without any concealment, "This has been approved by the cabinet and Whitehall."

Alan Wilson tilted his head and looked at the calendar. Today next year?June 21, [-].

The date is not very important, the official announcement date is not necessarily tomorrow, that is June next year?In other words, Britain still has one year to stay in North Sudan.In theory, you can also stay in South Sudan for five years.

"Once the north becomes independent first, it can be determined that Sudan will be partitioned successfully. After that, what needs to be prevented is that South Sudan and Uganda will merge into one country." Alan Wilson has not worked in Africa for a long time, but he also knows South Sudan and Uganda Relationship.

Regardless of the fact that the names of Sudan and South Sudan are similar, Sudan and Egypt are actually closer, but they are different from South Sudan in many ways.South Sudan and Uganda are more like a family culturally and geographically,

The area of ​​Uganda's colony is not large, and even if it merges with South Sudan, the area is less than 100 million.But now, Allen Wilson has reached the point where he does not consider merging any colonies, and when he went to Uganda before, he had promised the King of Buganda that he would try to establish a monarchy.

A final discussion was held, and John stated that a final Juba meeting would be called to announce the partition plan.

Of course Alan Wilson agreed, nodded and said, "Finally, this day has finally come, and the hard work has finally paid off."

John felt the same way and said, "Although I experienced it once when I was in British India, it will be different after I took the lead. Maybe you will encounter similar problems in the future."

"It's better not to." Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows and answered simply. Once the Malaya colony he managed was lost, with the current development momentum of British Malaya, Britain would definitely pay the price of vomiting blood.

In the textile and toy industry, Malaya's products have flooded the British market, which has had a huge impact on the British textile industry. Although Whitehall understands, it also takes advantage of the influx of cheap goods and the European Union's support. The framework is poured into the European market. The biggest benefit of doing so is to make the effect of the Marshall Plan less obvious.

After the war, the European countries that were hit hard by the war slowed down the development of these countries. On the contrary, although the United Kingdom was also affected, it was also adjusting its industries and giving up some industries that were not profitable.

The influx of cheap goods from Malaya is good and bad for the UK. Only when there is pressure can the UK no longer protect some industries that are not worth continuing to develop. It will have a greater negative impact on other countries that have just recovered from the war.

But in any case, Malaya still contributed to the maintenance of Britain's position in Europe.Moreover, Malaya can be stronger and provide important raw materials.

It can be said that without the support of this colony, the settlement share of the British pound will decline much faster than the current one worldwide.Until the 70s, Ireland, Iceland, Maldives, Kuwait, Jordan, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Yemen, Sierra Leone and other countries used the pound as their base currency. , credit are settled in pounds sterling.

How about now the sterling area should be stronger, Alan Wilson asked his old colleague, "Whitehall didn't mention the pound?"

"As mentioned, one of the independence conditions is to settle Sudan's imports and exports in British pounds. Use British pounds as the base currency." John replied immediately, "We all know that this must be fought for."

This was also when India became independent, and the conditions negotiated between the London government and Nehru were at least still valid.

But Alan Wilson doesn't know when India completely abandoned the pound as the benchmark currency.He has no relevant memories in his mind, so it can only be said that even if he is a master of Jianzheng, he has not read all the materials.

A day later, Alan Wilson's old colleague really didn't dawdle for a day, and directly under the witness of the American York Kidston, he announced at the former South Sudanese Governor's Palace that the final result of London's overall consideration, Areas dominated by Arabs and blacks, excluding Darfur, will be partitioned and all border tribes will not be allowed to migrate. The UK will draw a non-interfering border within the next year.

Apparently, he, the Sudanese commissioner, has already slackened his efforts to deal with the affairs of Sudan's independence. He didn't want to quarrel with relevant parties even for a day, and directly announced that within a year, the United Kingdom will formulate a constitution to defend democracy in Khartoum and guarantee the democratic rights of the Sudanese people. .A year later, Khartoum will hold general elections, and British troops will be withdrawn from Sudan.

Of course, Joseph Agu has no objection to this. This is what he strives for. In the future, his job will be to emphasize the victory of the separation from the Arabs. As for the existence of the British, try to appease them.

Some people are happy and some are sad, but Rahman Mahdi and Ismail Azari have mixed feelings. Before coming to Juba, the two leaders who have great influence among the Arabs would not have thought of the situation they have today. result.

But the changes of things are often unexpected, it is simply dazzling, and even both of them have the illusion of dreaming.

It is not over yet. Under the auspices of Sudanese Commissioner John and American Representative York Kidston, the non-aggression treaty that has been prepared has been brought out. The agreement stipulates that the two sides respect each other's sovereignty and territorial integrity and will not invade each other.

"Because of the war between India and Pakistan, London has to think more about the issue of colonial independence." John smiled and looked at the representatives of all parties, "It is the responsibility of Britain to stop the outbreak of war. If any country adopts aggressive means, the UK is obliged to come back and restore the local order, I believe everyone will disagree, right?"

"I very much agree with the responsible actions of the London government. This is a fact that Washington is happy to see." York Kidston agreed with satisfaction, "The United States hopes that in the new era, no place will be entangled in past hatred, and concentrate on enjoying peace." Prosperity."

South Sudan is not only small in size, but also has a much smaller population than the Arabs in the north. Of course, Joseph Agu is happy to sign this agreement to keep South Sudan safe.

Rahman Mahdi and Ismail Azari shook their heads secretly. South Sudan is about to become independent. Signing an agreement to ensure that South Sudan will not invade South Sudan is already a small problem.

The main content of the non-aggression treaty between North and South Sudan is that the two parties promise not to use force, violate or attack each other alone or in conjunction with other countries.

If one contracting party is at war with a third country, the other contracting party shall not give any support to the third country.Neither Contracting Party shall join any group of countries that directly or indirectly opposes another Contracting Party.The parties shall resolve all disputes between the Contracting States by peaceful means.

Amidst the shutters of a bunch of cameras, the Sudanese commissioner and the US representative jointly witnessed the birth of this peace treaty.York Kidston praised Britain's efforts to pursue peace, and he was honored to witness this scene on behalf of the United States.

"What do I think? It sounds familiar." Heidi Lamarr muttered softly as she packed her suitcase.

"Does it sound like the Soviet-German non-aggression treaty?" Alan Wilson smiled and explained, "It is true, just changed the name of the country. Similar treaties are similar, and it is not shameful to copy them."

Jurisprudentially, the partition of Sudan has become a foregone conclusion, and as witnessed by the United States, someone helped the United Kingdom take responsibility.The rest is nothing more than formulating the constitution of the new country and confirming the border issue, which is not considered a major issue.

There is no need for Alan Wilson to stay any longer. If something is still related to him, he should tell his wife now and send an exploration team over to find the existing oil and gas resources in South Sudan.

Alan Wilson, who came to help, was about to leave. John came here to see him off. Outside the passenger plane in North Rhodesia, he expressed his thanks, "Actually, I may not be able to take over Sir Barron's position. It's a pity."

"From the perspective of a friend, I can ask for help when I return to London." Alan Wilson opened his mouth and said reservedly, "John, you know, this matter is very complicated, even more complicated than Sudan's independence."

Chapter 829 Colonial Division of Labor

If an old colleague is interested in the position of the Persian Gulf Commissioner, he feels that it is of course his duty to help. Everyone can see the influence of the Persian Gulf and its importance to Britain.

The commissioner for the Persian Gulf is located in Aden and has to take care of the Suez Canal issue. Of course, Alan Wilson is inclined to have a familiar and reliable colleague there, so it is easy to communicate.

It will take some time for the plane to take off. The main reason is that Alan Wilson is so popular that he needs to take away the gift from Sudan. He can't refuse people thousands of miles away.

During this time, the two exchanged ideas about the possible impact of Sudanese independence on the situation in Africa.

John shook his head and smiled wryly, "Now the French are very dissatisfied, and feel that Britain is irresponsible for allowing Sudan to become independent. I have received hints from many French African officials."

"It is true that there are not many solutions to Sudan's problems. This is not just Sudan's problem. What is special about Sudan is that it also includes Egypt's factors." Alan Wilson spread his hands and said that he has no choice. If Egypt is also like Algeria, There are millions of British immigrants who can act as internal responders, and the probability of the British doing it will not be smaller than that of the French.

But none of the colonies in the hands of the United Kingdom has the foundation of Algeria.Even the stability of Malaya requires the framework of the Commonwealth of Nations, with the help of Australia and New Zealand.

"Emphasis on the particularity of Sudan, indicating that Britain will not allow the African territories to continue to be independent in a short time. However, we also have our requirements, suggesting to the French that the victory of the Algerian war will determine the future choices of the two countries, not The French family." Alan Wilson squinted his eyes and said to his old colleague, "I believe that as colonists, the French must understand our potential meaning."

"My God, you're really afraid that the French aren't tough enough." John grinned after hearing this, which was simply killing people with a knife.

"It's always better for them than us. We should cherish the attitude of France at this stage." Alan Wilson chuckled and then sighed, "There is no one else here. If I tell the truth, our situation is worse than that of the French." It's a little more difficult. Even at this time, the spread of Britain is much larger than that of France, and it is more difficult to shrink than the French."

Does France still have interests in the Far East?The three countries of the Indochina Peninsula are all independent, and the power of France has declined from the Far East.

But Xiangjiang and Malaya are not yet independent, and Britain must continue to invest in the Far East.

Does France have influence in the Persian Gulf?Not to say that there are none at all, but basically none.But the UK does, and the UK also has a bunch of protectorates in the Persian Gulf, which are small in size but of great value.

Even in Africa, even if Sudan has become independent, Britain's stalls are no smaller than France's.

Although France was the No. [-] power in the colonial era, it is still incomparable with the British Empire when the sun never sets.

So here comes the problem, France has been able to shrink its tentacles around the world and concentrate on Algeria to complete its achievements.The United Kingdom cannot do it, and the United Kingdom still has to continue its policy of orderly withdrawal.

Leaving tentacles that can intervene and focus on operating a few colonies, such as waiting for his Northern Rhodesia flight, is one of the options.

Not long after, the harvest from the trip to Sudan had been transported. Grace came over with a group of assistants from North Rhodesia. Alan Wilson could only say goodbye to his colleagues, "Then our cooperation this time will come to an end. Sudan's system The design and the status of the pound are up to you, and we may have opportunities to cooperate in the future.”

"It's very touching that you can come to help this time." John glanced at Grace and nodded, reached out and shook hands with Alan Wilson and said, "Then, I wish you a happy performance."

"Goodbye." Alan Wilson nodded and boarded the plane with a wave. A few minutes later, the Comet took off and disappeared over Juba.

A few hours later, Alan Wilson had arrived in Northern Rhodesia. This was not the first time he had come here. This time he also wanted to get agricultural information here and talk about his wife Pamela Mountbatten’s grain merchant. The road, and the question of how to win with Northern Rhodesia.

Alan Wilson felt that if the former Confederate States of America survived to this day, would it look like Northern Rhodesia?But after thinking about it, it is still closer to Rhodesia's model.

These ruthless people from the Balkans, when they first arrived in Northern Rhodesia, took advantage of the Indian tragedy to take advantage of the black people. Compared with the subtlety of operation, what is more rare is their courage.

The current situation is already obvious. The momentary ruthlessness at that time has eliminated the possibility of the black man's comeback.

Alan Wilson feels that the Slavs living in northern Rhodesia now live very close to a collection of armed farmers.

Northern Rhodesia already has the ability to manufacture light weapons, and minefields have been set up on the east and west borders.If it weren't for the railway and animal migration, it is estimated that Northern Rhodesia could be surrounded by minefields.

Mikhailovich is still alive, but he is indeed entering old age. He is not as resolute as when they first met, but his health is still good. Obviously, he is quite satisfied with life in Northern Rhodesia.

"In fact, after several years of observation, we have closed the northern gap while the animals are migrating. The animal migration in East Africa only affects a small area in the northeast of Northern Rhodesia. Those animals have returned I'm not coming." Mikhailovich said happily, "The barbed wire and the minefield, this World War I layout makes me feel very safe."

"It seems that you are about to be semi-closed. You have to close your door to live. However, you are on the border between Italy and Yugoslavia, and you continue to encourage Yugoslavs to flee. As a result, the relationship between the United Kingdom and Yugoslavia has not been repaired for a long time." Alan Wilson With a bitter and bitter look, he said, "How can we make up for the loss caused by this?"

"Northern Rhodesia doesn't pursue independence, isn't that enough? Isn't Newfoundland transformed into a royal territory? We don't reject the monarchy, and we can do the same." Mikhailovich solemnly assured, "I Hearing from Grace that Sudan is already on track for independence, I don't believe the UK is acting like it doesn't care."

How can you not care?Wait for the next Sudan, then wait!Alan Wilson secretly slandered, turned his head and looked at the endless farmland, "I can still help with the development of Northern Rhodesia. In fact, the road to a strong agricultural country is indeed a small population for Northern Rhodesia. A good choice. The supply of many fruits and vegetables in the UK is still dependent on Spain. You know that the climate in the UK can still handle food, and other things are too much to think about.”

"I'd like to hear what the commissioner wants to say? I still remember the scene at the beach. I never thought in my life that there would be such a day, with hundreds of thousands of followers, like a pig to be put on the shelf." Miha Ilovich paused when he said this, and then changed the topic, "I have no other meaning, I just want to show that the two sides understand each other."

Mikhailovich knew the Zhou Papi style of the person in front of him, and the Zhou Papi style in his eyes was also not timid at all.Both sides have the handle in the other's hands, which is very equal.

In terms of altitude, most of Northern Rhodesia are plateaus, but plateaus are different from plateaus.The plateau of Northern Rhodesia is only high in altitude, and the agricultural conditions are quite good, not like that of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

There are many rivers in Northern Rhodesia, vast forests, rich water power and forestry resources, hydropower accounts for 90.00% of the total power generation, and the forest coverage rate is 70.00%.At the junction of North Rhodesia and Rhodesia, there is the world-famous Victoria Falls, and the distribution of forestry is relatively concentrated.

With the current population base of Northern Rhodesia and more than 70 square kilometers of land, Mikhailovich and the others simply cannot develop it all, but even so, these Balkan versions of the fish that slipped through the net are not going to be cheap for black people. Minefields and barbed wire fences seal undeveloped land to prevent loopholes being exploited.

Undoubtedly, Alan Wilson once again stood in the position of helping the evil, making the path of the Mountbatten Group's grain merchants through the initial stage smoother, and it is necessary for Northern Rhodesia to realize its agricultural potential.

"The headquarters of the Mountbatten Agricultural Group can be set up in Lusaka. What do you think?" Alan Wilson suggested, "The market exists objectively, out of reliability considerations. Britain needs a colony like Northern Rhodesia, shoulder the responsibility of the agricultural sector.”

"Sounds good!" Mikhailovich took a sip of black tea, unknowingly he also began to have some British habits.

"The most important thing is standardization, and agriculture and animal husbandry also need to be standardized." Alan Wilson has a sincere face, and his heart is equally sincere, showing the sincerity of cooperation.

Standardized agriculture will crush small farmers, and this does not only appear in the huge output of food.It can also appear in market segments.

Take tea as an example, we all know that China is the hometown of tea, but the largest tea in the world is Lipton Company.

Lipton's teas may not be as good as the top teas in China, but so what?The quality of tea at the same price is definitely not as good as Lipton's products. As for the tea that can beat Lipton's, the price is appallingly high.

The idea in Alan Wilson's mind is that Newfoundland will be an offshore financial center, Northern Rhodesia will be farming and animal husbandry, British Malaya will mainly develop industries and necessary agriculture, and the British garrison in the Persian Gulf will ensure energy.

The remaining colonial task is to scrape as much land as possible before independence, which is considered to be the completion of contraction.

If successful, even if France really turns Algeria into the land of the Gobi French, Britain can still maintain its advantage over France.

8 Chapter Thirty - Back to Bonn

Now the boundary between the two Rhodesias is quite clear, and there is no possibility of any merger.The comparative population of Rhodesia far exceeds that of Northern Rhodesia, but there are more Slavs in Northern Rhodesia than white immigrants in Southern Rhodesia.

Alan Wilson met Johnston, High Commissioner of Southern Rhodesia two days later. Johnston represented the symbol of British rule in Rhodesia. Like Alan Wilson in the British Malaya colony, Johnston also resident Administrative Office.

"There is a voice in Southern Rhodesia that wants to merge with Northern Rhodesia." Johnston was very happy to see Alan Wilson, and then revealed the news.

"This? It may not be easy!" Alan Wilson replied slowly, "The problem is not you and me, but the northern Rhodesians do not want to merge with Rhodesia."

To be honest, he heard Mikhailovich say this, and his attitude was very clear that the merger was impossible.The white population in Southern Rhodesia is an absolute minority, and the black population not only has a large base, but also a rising proportion.

In the eyes of these Balkans, accidents will happen sooner or later in Southern Rhodesia, and the benefits of the merger are not at all. Instead, it will ruin the stability of Northern Rhodesia. In any case, these battle-hardened Slavs will not accepted by people.

Sure enough, after meeting Johnston, Alan Wilson told Grace about it.

"We will never agree." Grace sneered, "We thank Southern Rhodesia for helping us when we first came. If one day Southern Rhodesia falls into war, we will definitely provide asylum for white people. Others Don’t think about it, there is no second Indian community to give us an excuse to raid.”

Grace still firmly believes that Southern Rhodesia is a colony sitting on a crater, even South Africa is like this. Regardless of how South Africa seems to be doing well now, it will be a matter of time before it overturns.

Allen Wilson lamented that these Slavs who had been in the Balkans for hundreds of years had a much clearer understanding of this aspect than the original immigrants. Rhodesia and South Africa were indeed destroyed later.

"I thought you would envy the lives of the Southern Rhodesians. They have labor, and you have to do everything yourself." Alan Wilson said with a wry smile, "There are still a lot of people in this world who like to take shortcuts."

"Our life experience tells us that life is more important. Even if life is gone, all wealth is fleeting." Grace tilted her head and glanced at Alan Wilson, "Dear commissioner, your teaching at the seaside of Germany is also worthless." Let our memories be fresh, let us dare not forget every moment. But my father and I also know very well that there is nothing wrong with you doing that, although you have wiped us out, you have preserved our lives."

"Life is very important!" Alan Wilson said without embarrassment, following the tone of the other party, "I hope you won't hate me."

"That's absolutely not, you are our benefactor." Grace said nonchalantly, "I know which is more important."

"I just pretend I don't know what you did to Nyasaland." Alan Wilson snorted and pouted, "You robbed Nyasaland's land, and Commissioner Nyasaland also talked about it thing. How does this count?"

"We did it, but for the water source of Lake Nyasa. And we are very restrained. If we really want to be cruel, Nyasaland will have at least half of the area. And we only control one-sixth The land near Lake Niassa." Grace did not deny it, saying that there is indeed a piece of Niasaland land under the control of Northern Rhodesia.

Moreover, Grace and the others have already opened up the relationship with Commissioner Nyasaland, and turned a blind eye to Nyasaland, which only exists on the map.
