British civil servant

"You misunderstood." While speaking, the figure of Queen Nanfang appeared. Alan Wilson said that it was not what the two of them thought. They were just a false father and the queen mother. They discussed the future of Delin State and did not involve personal grievances. .

The appearance of Empress Nanfang surprised the two of them even more. They didn't expect that it was not Xia Meng who came out, but the operator of this high-end leisure hotel. Women can't resist you."

"You can't say that, I'm quite resistant to black pearls from Africa." The smell of smashing the vinegar vat rushed towards him. Alan Wilson didn't know that the number one vase in history was in a bad mood right now?Hurry up to self-examine, punish himself with three cups and expose his mistakes. In the final analysis, he has only made mistakes that all men will make.

He was clearly talking about the operation of silver just now, that's business, the weather in Malaya is hot, what's wrong with taking a bath together?

Queen Nanfang floated over, took a thermos cup filled with goji berries and put it in front of the man, and said in pure French, "When I went to France, I knew the two ladies who have great influence in the French entertainment industry, It was a pleasure meeting you two."

It turned out to be the emperor... the former queen of a country!Heidi Lamarr and Ingrid Bergman were a little surprised when they learned the identity of the woman.

I have to admit that the time together is not short, and the two Oscar queens have to give men a step down, and they can't play their temper like a little girl.

Finally, Alan Wilson still achieved the goal of self-punishment three cups to expose the mistake. In fact, he always likes to run out, maybe it is because London is not free enough for the world.

Roughly calculating now, Alan Wilson and himself can get three to five billion U.S. dollars from the ladies of the same status as his wife to invest in the silver operation, but he can't clean up the ladies' property.

And to be honest, compared with Pamela Mountbatten's industry, which is like a money printing machine, other ladies' industries still earn a penny of hard money, and it may be difficult to operate if all the funds are withdrawn.The cash flow of any enterprise is extremely important, and Alan Wilson must have a measure when he asks for food.

It is natural to lower your posture when you ask for food. The dignified Permanent Undersecretary of the Foreign Office of the British Empire is now soaking goji berries in the thermos.

Nothing came in vain, and he was also moving forward in private, but most people didn't know it.

If Pamela Mountbatten knows that he runs a casino, takes care of his little wife, and even the royal princess...

The urban construction of Malaya has not yet been completed, but some facilities are ready to use, such as the Queen Victoria Square in Kuala Lumpur, the capital. This square can accommodate 10 people and is considered to be one of the symbols of the economic take-off of the Malayan colony.Let Richard spend a lot of effort.

For standards such as large-scale celebrations, Alan Wilson put forward several requirements to the current chief executive.

A team composed of people from all walks of life, and of course men and women of all ages, is bathed in the light of the British Empire. Since it is the benchmark of the Commonwealth, it must be treated as a benchmark.

Different cities have different celebration themes, but they are all held at the same time as the capital Kuala Lumpur. In Malacca, the organized students spent their free time preparing for the evening celebration.Too young for frequent theatres, and too financially incapable of paying the large fees for amateur performances, the girls gave full play to their ingenuity-necessity is the mother of invention-and they did what they needed.

Some of their creations are quite ingenious-a guitar made of cardboard, an ancient lamp made of an old-fashioned butter bottle wrapped in tinfoil, a bright and eye-catching robe made of old cotton cloth, with shiny embellishments from a pickled family. The small tin pieces from the vegetable factory, and the armor inlaid with the same diamond-shaped small tin pieces, these small tin pieces that came in handy are the scraps left over from the pickle factory for canning.

The furniture in the house is often messed up, the big room is the stage, and the girls perform innocently on the stage. After careful preparation, everyone walks together to join the celebration.

The celebration in Kuala Lumpur, the capital, is even more grand. Queen Victoria Square is already crowded with people. People in Colonial Malayan could understand.

For most of the colonial commissioners who came to the Malaya colonies, this was like a bible.

Mobilizing the enthusiasm of the people is mainly concentrated on the part around Latia. Indonesia is shameless and India is incompetent. If we really want to lead the people of Asia to become rich, we need the British Empire. After reading the speech, there will be applause when there is a pause here. Richard accepts With the cheers led by leaders everywhere...

Either way, I love being the top leader, and I don’t understand the joy of being a full-time job when I’m a deputy job.

"It's a pity we couldn't understand Richard's speech." Ingram said the feelings of most colonial commissioners.

Everyone, including Alan Wilson, was also sitting on the viewing platform, but they were a bit out of place. Fortunately, they were not noticed by the crowds in the square.

"We are guests." Allen Wilson smiled sassyly. If it weren't for Richard's language talent, he would not have helped Richard to the position of High Commissioner in the end. Everyone knew that Richard was not him. old subordinates.

Compared with the imperial subjects holding up a photo of Queen Elizabeth in the square, this place is like another parallel world, with no sunlight outside at all, and some commissioners whispering, it is simply a breeding ground for conspiracy.

Grace is sitting next to Alan Wilson. He is also a member of the North Rhodesia delegation. He came here to learn advanced experience and go back to build North Rhodesia better.

If Alan Wilson remembers correctly, the pillar industries of Northern Rhodesia are mining, large plantations, and light military industry, especially landmine production, which ranks first in Africa.

"What do you say about the attitude of France?" Grace asked in a low voice while looking at Alan Wilson, who was at the end of the thermos.

Um?After taking a sip of water, Alan Wilson whispered calmly, "At the Brussels meeting, two sets of plans were established. The French advocated suppression, and we advocated partition. From my judgment, the French's proposition is actually not easy. Realized. You don’t know that the Berlin Conference to delineate the sphere of influence in Africa was actually held because of the ownership of the Congo. The Belgian Congo is actually related to the situation in the whole of Africa.”

"You soldiers of the Homeland Army have fought battles. Explain it this way. In wars, the strategy is often centered on the flowering of the center, but it always ends up being wiped out by the enemy. The problem in the Belgian Congo is similar to this."

With this explanation, Grace understood immediately. Didn't I expect this bureaucrat to know military affairs? "Which force may become an unknown factor and interfere with the battle situation."

"Both the Soviet Union and the United States are possible, and the United States is more likely. How could the Soviet Union have influence on Belgium." Alan Wilson shrugged indifferently, "Do you think this makes sense?"

"Americans, why are they doing this?" Grace was taken aback and couldn't believe it, "How could they do this."

"Calm down, Grace. Compared with the hundreds of millions of black people in Africa, at best, the idea of ​​hundreds of thousands of immigrants can be sacrificed. This will not change anything just because they are white." Alan Wilson said coldly. Smiling, he further explained, "So, at the beginning, you were playing the right game and expelling the black people in Northern Rhodesia through ethnic vendettas. Thanks to the fact that there are not many black people in Northern Rhodesia."

"In the long run, even South Africa is expendable, let alone a tiny Belgian Congo."

"You can indeed contact the leaders of the Belgian immigrants. The French plan will most likely fail. Remember, restrain your greed and improve the disadvantaged environment in Northern Rhodesia. If you occupy a large amount of additional land, you will suffer disaster."

Even South Africa can be sacrificed?Grace felt very heavy, "There will always be problems in South Africa? Then how will North Rhodesia communicate with the outside world?"

"Isn't it still possible to communicate with the outside world through Tanzania's railway?" Alan Wilson frowned slightly and comforted, "Maybe the contact method can be upgraded in the future? After all, there are still many places that are interested in Africa and will help upgrade some railways. facilities or something."

Wasn't the Tazara Railway upgraded because a certain big country decided to help?Grace didn't have to worry at all, just waited.

Chapter 976 Learn from the Strengths of Your Opponent

Comparing competitors in the free world in different periods, it is actually easy to find that the resource reserves of the Soviet Union are above its own industrial capabilities, while China's resource reserves are not enough to support its own industrial strength.

The resource gap exists objectively, so importing raw materials is a must for China. This is why Australia does not think it will be retaliated against. Australia's resources can be sold to any country.

The economic loss is completely tolerable for Australia. You can make money if you lose money, but you only have one life.

Just like the Soviet Union's export of raw materials is based on the huge land and abundant resources, China's foundation is doomed to go out if it wants to go further. In this world, where is the best place to bully and the easiest place to get it?Africa of course.

During the Cold War, China has already formulated how to operate in Africa, especially how to operate in black Africa.Not to mention those hypocritical discourses on the concept, they just go straight to the resources.

Alan Wilson can conclude that Grace just needs to wait, as long as Tanzania speaks, someone will show up to help.

The difference is that because of Zambia, Tazara has become the world of people like Grace, and it may be different.

But Alan Wilson thinks that there will be no huge changes. If only the railway in Tanzania is built and North Rhodesia is left aside, then needless to say, the UK can completely prevent the railway in Tanzania from being built.

Anyway, it is inevitable that Sunnibal will be used as an offshore military base for the British to monitor East Africa, and Tanzania has no choice.

There is nothing to avoid. Alan Wilson thinks that the value of Tanzara Railway is that it can be prostituted for free without paying a pound from the UK. If this purpose cannot be achieved, it is better not to appear.

Before the emergence of the Tazara Railway, use the railway to South Africa first. Anyway, South Africa can persist until the end of the Cold War.

In fact, there are other alternatives, that is, the water transportation of the Congo River, which requires the help of other countries.Especially as Portugal, the suzerain of Angola, Britain is preparing to continue mediating on the issue of the Belgian Congo.

If the Belgian Congo cannot be preserved, the export of the Congo River will be transferred from Belgium to Portugal while preserving the oil interests around the Greater Gulf of Guinea. As colonists, European countries have sufficient reasons to do so.

Taking a [-]-step back, if Africa is finally separated from European control, it can also be used to provoke conflicts among African countries.

Portugal is completely achievable. Angola's Cabinda region is located north of the mouth of the Congo River, northwest of Angola mainland, and west of the Atlantic Ocean.Between the two Congos, separated from the mainland by the narrow territory of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, it is an enclave of Angola.

It’s okay that the Cabinda area is not important. It is also an important port in Angola, the second largest city, and its status is equivalent to that of the magic capital.The oil company invested by Princess Margaret discovered oil just off the coast of Cabinda.

If the Cabinda enclave is connected with Angola, it is of course a good thing from the perspective of Portugal and Angola. Otherwise, it is not a good thing for the independent Congo.

Congo's only small mouth to the sea will disappear completely and be blocked by Angola.As far as Belgium is concerned, as long as Portugal is willing to exchange certain interests, while protecting Belgium's interests.The colonists who are going to be driven away still care about the hostility after the independence of the colony?

Sometimes Allen Wilson felt that he was really a friend to the Portuguese, otherwise Salazar could consider awarding him an honorary governor or something in recognition of his contributions to Portugal over the years.

While everyone in the viewing platform was whispering and communicating with each other, Richard, the High Commissioner of Malaya, had come to the end of his inspiring speech, affirming the economic development of Malaya, and at the same time stepped on the surrounding area and angrily reprimanded it Illegal immigration, after destroying the social morality of the Malayan colonies.

Richard revealed that Kuala Lumpur, the capital, and Singapore, the largest port, will jointly bid to host the next Commonwealth Games to highlight the achievements of the Malaya colony over the years.

Applause, warm applause lasted for a long time, people in Victoria Square cheered and shouted God save the queen...

"Gentlemen, it's actually not difficult to appease the colonies, is it?" Alan Wilson looked at the colonial commissioners around him, and took Richard as an example, "This time so many African elites have come, it's very important to the British colonies." The government’s rule is also somewhat useful, and to help people we trust to high positions, of course, we must conduct some investigations to determine whether they are reliable.”

A day later, the news that the Malayan colony was going to win the right to host the Commonwealth Games became the focus of heated discussions in the newspapers. After all, this is still a very compelling thing.

The Commonwealth Games is not comparable to the Olympic Games, but it can be regarded as a very influential and comprehensive sports event. It is an important link to maintain the Commonwealth of Nations. There are no fewer member countries than the Games.

However, in Alan Wilson's mind, after this sports meeting, which was supposed to be pretty good, was held by India once, the aura of his body suddenly became much inferior, and a term called the Commonwealth Games scandal appeared.

"Gentlemen, Malaya is going to host the Commonwealth Games, and we need your help."

At the evening reception, Alan Wilson took Richard with a goblet to show the reliability of the Colonial Commissioner.The answer is naturally no problem, and the Commonwealth Games can be used as an opportunity for the Malayan colony to take off.

Anyway, in the eyes of Alan Wilson, the Commonwealth Games requires the participation of the existing protectorates and colonies of the United Kingdom.It can't be just Canada and Australia that have already become independent, otherwise it will not be lively.

"I can't drink enough. Gentlemen, continue. I'll go back and rest first." Alan Wilson, who received a satisfactory answer, knew that the next entertainment project was the time for foreign aid mobilized from Singapore, so that the gentlemen could experience a foreign land. If he doesn't like the style, he will not participate. He has to consider his reputation as a senior Whitehall official.

The main reason is that the foreign aid has Heidi Lamarr and Ingrid Bergman.There are Queen Nanfang and Xia Meng in the exotic style, and Alan Wilson is immune to other vulgar fans.

The festivities were just embellishments for a long time, and at the end of the song, the first shrill whistle of the factory whistle broke the silence of the morning.Then in every corner of the city, other sirens gradually began to whine.

The hoarse, constant sound spread in all directions, like a group of vicious roosters singing, calling people to work with their iron voices.

With a tall black body and a chimney with a slender neck, the big factory towering in the rain and fog slowly woke up, spewing out clouds of fireworks and breathing clouds of smoke from time to time, indicating that it is still alive and is still covering the earth active in the dark.

A thick, sticky fog hung over the city.The rain rattled the roofs and trickled down onto the sidewalks, down the dark, rain-soaked streets, and over the wind-shivered canopies of trees against the long fence.

The wind was blowing from the soft fields out in the open, and it rolled over the streets with all its might, made the fences shake, tried to tear the roofs off, and disappeared on the ground.

The typhoon season comes when it feels like it is coming, regardless of whether the world accepts it or not. No amount of bureaucracy can do anything about it.

Compared with the mood of nature, the means of the gentlemen are still not good enough, and they can only turn their hands into clouds and rain in the social field.

This can only delay the itinerary of the visiting African elites, but not the commissioners who are hiding in high-end hotels with complete facilities.

The brightly lit conference room was not affected at all, and the atmosphere was relaxed and cozy. We were planning to wait until the end of the typhoon to play golf. Anyway, the typhoon Malaya was not affected much this time.

The communication between the gentlemen is peaceful, and the consequences of the communication will naturally be borne by the anti-British elements.

"In fact, the resistance in the colonies has always existed. As long as there are no riots, they are all under our control." Ingram compared the example of the Gold Coast, "It is much calmer now."

"The important thing is to give them hope, and you can do both soft and hard. Be clear and don't annoy us." Alan Wilson nodded in agreement, "We must give a clear advice to candidates who are interested in controlling the country in the future. The successor The road is not easy, let them know clearly not to betray Britain, so that the succession can be smooth."

"Don't think about having two minds. We have to learn from France. In case there is an elite who is interested in leading an independent in the future. If there is any objection to our actions, even a slight expression must be changed immediately. People who want to replace them may There are many."

"That's right." Many people nodded in approval, and it seemed very interesting with the raindrops beating on the windows.

"If you extend your hand to the enterprise, the enterprise can survive. But it is not difficult to kill the enterprise. The same is true for individuals."

Allen Wilson said with a smile, "It's really impossible. Let's pick a colony as a target, declare to the outside world that we will practice the Soviet judicial system, and then throw the rebels into the Gulag. After killing all the rebels, we declare that the Soviet judicial system has failed. It’s not democratic at all, just stop and apologize at the end.”

"Is this okay?" Many commissioners asked questions, and most of them didn't know how the judicial system of the Soviet Union worked.

"Of course you can. In fact, the judicial system of the Soviet Union only needs to do four things. Convict with a confession, cut off contact with the outside world during the detention period, arrange the lawyers we want to control the pace, and keep the trial in secret. As long as you do these four things, you will be arrested. The anti-British activist admitted that he planned a blitz against Poland, and he will plead guilty."

The commissioners in the conference room were silent, as if a new world had opened up in front of them, "It's really surprising."

"We need to combine the advantages of different systems, and consider from the perspective of optimization and integration, how to deal with anti-British elements." Alan Wilson stretched his waist, and said with a tone of someone who had experienced it, "Anyway, including me Gentlemen in the court, no one should be able to withstand this set of trial procedures."

Chapter 977 The Award Presentation Disturbance

The problem of British West Africa is not a big problem. As the Nigerian Dominion has entered the independence process, only the Gold Coast is left in British West Africa, and British interests in Africa will be concentrated in British East Africa.

Alan Wilson doesn't look down on West Africa, and black Africa in a broad sense is just a generalization of race.

Because of the triangle slave trade, the entire west of Africa was severely damaged, and the social structure regressed all the way.

In comparison, although East Africa has not escaped the influence of triangular trade, it is already considered good compared with West Africa.The dwarf is taller, and the conditions in southeast Africa controlled by the United Kingdom are much better than those in French North Africa and Central Africa, whether it is natural conditions or social structure.

The Nigerian Dominion is not a big problem, because the oil in the Gulf of Guinea was discovered, and a lot of hot money poured in, which solved the original shortage of development funds. The development of the Nigerian Dominion helped the British economic crisis.

Now even if Nigeria's major construction fails, it will not have a major impact on the UK, because the world has passed the economic crisis and started a new round of growth.

Nigeria's nationalized enterprises are also being privatized. After privatization with equal interests, the new enterprises will be listed in London to enhance the financial strength of the United Kingdom.

After the independence of the colonies, the name of the High Commissioner remained unchanged, and at the same time directly assumed the duties of ambassadors and representatives of British-funded enterprises.

"Actually, to put it bluntly, as long as the colonies are not independent, as high commissioners, everyone's power has no upper limit."

"Deputy Secretary-General, where is our future?" The speaker was William, the High Commissioner of Northern Rhodesia. His words were somewhat worried about the future. The UK is implementing a policy of creeping back, but when will this be the end? .

Alan Wilson also knew that gentlemen did not want to end their life in the colonies for the benefit of society, go back to the native land to a clear water yamen, or have to leave their beloved jobs.This is very different from life now.

He doesn't like it either, a person with billions of dollars must work hard on his own?Why?

"Maybe, it still depends on the outcome of the Algerian war. I believe that if France succeeds in suppressing Algeria's resistance, no matter which political party comes to power, the colony cannot be completely lost, otherwise we will not be able to suppress the French."

"I hope the French are going well." Whoever said that, the commissioners in the conference room all nodded solemnly. The world is so wonderful.Thousands of miles away from Algeria, there is a group of British people who are eagerly looking forward to the victory of their 700-year-old enemy from one victory to another.

Who said that Britain and France are in dire straits, which involves a better life in the future, and everyone can be French.

Patriotism is important, but if the country cannot bring benefits to individuals, it is easy to loose the ideological stamp of patriotism, not to mention that everyone is a high commissioner who benefits one side, and understands this truth better.

The rain gradually stopped, and the commissioners felt more comfortable. They could play some elegant sports such as golf, and show off their hole-in-one skills. The filmmakers whose return journey was not smooth because of Typhoon Xiangjiang also returned to the warm Malayan beach. .

Malaya and Xiangjiang have their own priorities. The development of entertainment industry in Malaya was secretly curbed by the colonial government because it wanted to leave the entertainment industry to Xiangjiang. In terms of division of labor, Malaya mainly provided a market.

When a group of British gentlemen were entertaining on the golf course, accompanied by exotic customs, Alan Wilson and Richard, the current chief executive of Malaya, asked how the effect of going to sea was.

Because the population of the Malayan colony is small, compared with Japan, there are advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is that it cannot be compared in size. The advantage is that because the population has an upper limit, the Malayan colony can transfer industries earlier.

Of course, considering the natural weakness of compradors, sometimes it is necessary to use criminal investigation force to force them, so as to achieve their goals faster.

Facing the questions from his immediate boss, Richard also answered seriously, "The transfer of Myanmar's textile industry is almost complete, and the spare labor force has been invested in the oil refining center. The effect is very good."

"The essence is to exchange support for stability. After persisting for 15 years, the wave of independence will pass. Within 15 years, no matter what method is used, assassination or whatever. The situation here must be stabilized." Alan Wilson said He spoke without beginning or end.

This made Richard very surprised. He didn't know how the time of 15 years was calculated.
