But the growth of blacks far exceeded that of whites, and the seemingly fair land distribution was immediately overwhelmed by the soaring number of blacks.
On Ian Smith's side, there are 30 square kilometers corresponding to 50 white people. In Botswana, there are 70 square kilometers corresponding to [-] Botswanans, which is even more sparsely populated than here.
It's almost okay to accept it as soon as it's good, anyway, there will be no contact in the future, and there is no point in fighting for the thousands of square kilometers of land.Finally Ian Smith nodded.
The Southern Rhodesia issue that has plagued the UK for many years, finally appeared the dawn of a solution. Finally, before New Year’s Day, under the witness of the British government, the Southern Rhodesian partition plan won the consent of both parties, and the white people migrated to North Malaysia. In Tabeleland, the British troops who were about to withdraw from Southern Rhodesia suspended their evacuation to assist in the completion of this population migration.
Grace also came to London at this time, and Alan Wilson waited an extra day. Grace went to see his youngest daughter and son-in-law who was serving in the army. 10 people stripped off the German coastline, but my daughter can't just do everything my wife does and still have nothing."
"Grace, don't be angry. As long as I approve this matter, it will be settled." Alan Wilson waved his hand to be calm. How many years have passed, and he even brought up the matter of sunbathing on the beach in Germany. Isn't that also for sterilization?
At that time, he said that he would go into the large bathroom set up by the Germans to deal with this problem, but these Slavs would not go in if they said anything.
Now that the partition of the south has already begun, shouldn't the land snakes, who are the royal territory, help express that, at least provide some means of transportation to help the white people in the south go faster.
Don't forget that the Slavic refugees whose pockets were cleaner than their faces were also helped by the white people in Southern Rhodesia at the beginning. They cannot turn their faces and deny people just because they have gained a firm foothold today.
Grace sighed in her heart, how can people be so shameless?You wiped us out in the past, now tell me not to dwell on the past.Turn around and let me thank Southern Rhodesia for its help back then?
"Okay!" Grace gritted his teeth and nodded. He knew that the tens of thousands of armed militiamen in his hands would not be able to support a huge royal territory. Didn't Ian Smith think he could do it at the beginning, and now he still needs the help of the United Kingdom? .
"When you merge, I will let the two children hold a wedding." Alan Wilson patted his chest, not forgetting to give Grace a reassurance.
He originally wanted to say that the trafficking of human organs and getting together with the drug lords are very dirty, but things have to be done one by one. This time, Grace has been forced to help, and other things will be discussed next time.
You don't have to count on Grace. In fact, it is possible to let Hao Daer work hard to make a breakthrough from Sophia. It is not a very profitable business, so what if you give up?
When Prime Minister Callahan proudly puffed out his chest in the House of Commons, announcing that the Southern Rhodesia issue that had plagued the UK for nearly 20 years had finally been resolved, Alan Wilson turned directly to watch the variety show of the container blind box, and did not forget to laugh a few words, "Alone As far as this matter is concerned, I really didn’t find out where the prime minister’s hard work is. As for the arms sales to the East, the prime minister said a word from the beginning to the end, and I was busy holding meetings and arranging visits. "
Listening to the man's complaints, Xia Meng wanted to laugh but didn't dare, and then said softly, "Honey, you asked me to contact more friends in Xiangjiang to prepare for returning to the market. Now I have something to ask, you See if you can help."
"Aren't all your contacts working in movies? Can you still ask me?" Alan Wilson glanced at Xia Meng, nodded and said, "Tell me, what's going on."
"I have a movie to see if it can be shown in the UK." Xia Meng replied immediately after hearing it, "The name of the movie is Snake-shaped Diao Shou, and it is going to be released in Hong Kong during the Chinese New Year."
Alan Wilson became a little interested, and asked who the leading actor was. The secret was indeed good. It was Jack's famous movie. After the release of Serpentine, it broke Xiangjiang's overseas box office record.
Although the box office in Xiangjiang is not particularly high, it has caused a sensation in Southeast Asia and Japan.
"We need to find Vivienne for this matter. She is the chairman of the Commonwealth Film Association, and after the merger of United Artists and Twentieth Century Fox, she also has influence in the North American market. I don't count, I can only She said that it can be introduced into the British market, but she is more proficient in publicity."
Alan Wilson told the truth, "Of course you can say that I am very optimistic about this movie. To be honest, he may be an international superstar that Xiangjiang can produce after Bruce Lee."
In his era, Xiangjiang Films had long been kneeling, and there were only a group of so-called Xiangjiang filmmakers who were kidnapped by feelings and morals. How can revitalizing Xiangjiang Films be revitalized by an old man whose face is stiffer than granite?
You can't even bring out young actors, so how dare you say you want to revive it?Xiangjiang Films has been completely defeated in all traditional markets, and they know that they are morally kidnapped and sold miserably in the mainland.
A Lei Luo and a Pohao can make more than a dozen movies, and they take turns to show them to make money. Just a few familiar actors use them over and over again. Can't help but be beaten by Hollywood.
Xia Meng put her arms around the man's neck and kissed, "It's really troublesome for you to care about such a trivial matter, I must thank you very much."
"You don't need to be too thankful. Last year, Xiangjiang's box office champion was the [-] series. It's all mutual." Alan Wilson said so, but still accepted Xia Meng's thanks with a magnanimous heart.
The promise to help is that Jack Cheng is really going to skyrocket. He is very strong, and helping is just a smooth sailing. Besides, Jack Cheng has made mistakes that men will make, so there is nothing to be picky about. He has done everything he should do. It is more than one dimension stronger than a bunch of Hong Kong filmmakers who sell miserably and dare not even say that I am Chinese.
The time came to [-]. Alan Wilson made a diplomatic itinerary for Callahan to visit a certain big country, which was scheduled for the second half of the year. Then he made a diplomatic itinerary for himself to visit the Soviet Union, which was scheduled for the first half of the year. Waiting for the release of Serpentine Hands.
Serpentine was released, and he accompanied Xia Meng specially, and chose a relatively marginal movie theater to contribute to the box office.
The first thousand and 510 chapters what the Soviet-German alliance
"The real golden age of Xiangjiang movies has come." Walking out of the theater arm in arm, Alan Wilson said to Xia Meng beside him, "It turns out that it was just a special movie in a region, but this time it is a sensation. It is eye-catching. If you don't If you mind, let Mr. Jack Cheng come to London to help establish a stronger influence."
"You are so optimistic about him." Xia Meng covered her mouth, isn't this the treatment she received when she came to Europe, after her, there are many female celebrities in Xiangjiang who wanted to follow her route, but they all failed.
Of course it will fail, and the supreme authority doesn't have a lot of money. If Xiameng's route is so easy to succeed, Alan Wilson probably won't live to retire.
"It's not optimistic. Mr. Jack Cheng worked hard on his own. Maybe the help at this time will become my honor in the future." Alan Wilson replied succinctly.
If you don't consider the difference between men and women, Jack Cheng can at least be regarded as a Vivien Leigh and Taylor level star, and his status can only be higher rather than lower.
Even if Bruce Lee is alive, Jack Cheng can still show his own style. After this year, Jack Cheng is the only one among Hong Kong film actors, and his salary is nearly 2 times that of No.[-].
Although Xiangjiang always brags that it has some international superstars, in fact Xiangjiang has only one international superstar from the beginning to the end. The other stars are just the blessing of Hong Kong film filters. Jack Cheng is really strong.
As for a group of Hong Kong stars who hang out with Internet celebrities in the 21st century, they are even less famous. The only one who can be said to have a wide audience for all ages is Liu Tianwang.
Alan Wilson asked Xia Meng to play the role of supporting the younger generation, not to take care of the newly popular Jack Cheng, as he himself said, maybe this is the British film industry taking advantage.
With the help of the booming Hong Kong film industry, he pretends to rival Hollywood while adorning himself.
Xia Meng thought her man was being modest, but Alan Wilson said frankly that this was not the case. Xia Meng really didn't know how high the future status of this newly popular Kung Fu boy would be.
He wasn't worried that it would backfire. If his memory serves him right, Jack Cheng should have been playing tricks for many years, and the movies he starred in all hit the box office.
In the era of Shaw Brothers movies, there is no chance for Jack Cheng to shine. This is the era of Dillon and David Jiang. Fortunately, Shaw Brothers movies are also fading now. Sir Run Run Shaw will focus on the development of TV dramas in the future if nothing happens. The era of Hong Kong dramas where props have been passed down for three generations.
Under the guarantee of Alan Wilson, Xia Meng contacted Jack Cheng. At this time, Jack Cheng belonged to the time when he was just becoming popular, and he had not yet got rid of the traditional Xiangjiang Film Company. He had to wait until Drunken Master was released before he had the right to speak. Alan Wilson It can help to omit this step directly, so that it can establish its own right to speak earlier.
Let Xia Meng handle this matter, and Alan Wilson and Callaghan discussed the itinerary of the visit to China. In fact, the Labor Party will deliberately avoid contact with the hostile camp because of avoiding suspicion.
The first British Prime Minister to visit China as the leader of the party was Heath, and the first incumbent Prime Minister to visit China was Margaret Thatcher.
Attlee had originally visited China in history, but only in a private capacity. As for this world, Attlee had never visited China because he had been prime minister for a long time.
Therefore, Callahan hesitated to be the first incumbent Prime Minister to visit China. Alan Wilson conveyed the business community’s expectations for the Prime Minister to improve the relationship between the two countries, “Prime Minister, the British Empire is essentially an Asian country. In Europe. Entrepreneurs in many industries are looking forward to this visit."
Alan Wilson thought about how to be one step ahead of the Japanese Prime Minister, otherwise the benefits would be swallowed up by the Japanese. Under the instigation of the Secretary-General of the Cabinet, the Prime Minister also felt that a new chapter in the relationship between the two countries was in his hands, and he himself had to will be remembered accordingly.
"I will arrange the Prime Minister's itinerary in detail to make this visit easy and enjoyable." Alan Wilson said that the topic changed, "Of course we must take into account the perception of the Soviet Union, which is inevitable. This requires mature diplomacy. , but I believe the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is looking forward to working hard for this."
It is necessary to appease the Soviet Union, and Alan Wilson decided to do it himself, such as talking about the preparations for the Moscow Olympics.Having said that, in the last two Olympics, the United States and the Soviet Union have become more and more powerless in the technological competition between the United States and the Soviet Union. It is obvious that the United States is no longer the opponent of the Soviet Union in the Olympic Games.
This is simply unreasonable. On such a big stage as the Olympics, the United States ranks second every time. Doesn't that mean that the United States is not the opponent of the Soviet Union now?Although the United States can find 1 reasons, but the second is the second, no matter how many reasons the United States finds, the United States cannot turn itself into the first.
When Jack Cheng started his trip to London, Alan Wilson was preparing for his visit to the Soviet Union. The choice of receiving international superstars was naturally handled by Ms. Vivien Leigh, chairman of the Commonwealth Film Association. The two exchanged experiences in film development in the two places. Vivien Leigh also said My friend, that is, the man who is going to Moscow, who has the same status as her husband, also likes to watch Xiangjiang movies.
"If Jack Cheng needs help, my son is working in Xiangjiang, and he can help you a lot. He is a very obedient child." Vivien Leigh was full of pride when talking about her son.
Although Hao Daer is not a high-ranking and powerful man in Xiangjiang, he has a father who is the supreme authority. Temporary experience is necessary, and he will shine in the future.
After Vivien Leigh expressed the favor of the British Empire, Alan Wilson rushed to the door. This habitual lateness made Vivien Leigh roll her eyes, "Just came from Audrey's?"
"Honey, what are you talking about?" Alan Wilson's face was serious, obviously he just came over from his sister-in-law, "I'm done with my work, and I'll come to see you right away? How did the talk go? Xiangjiang Films has not It is limited to the local area, and the box office is proof, the annual box office number one has begun to approach tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, how many people are there in the local area?"
Xiangjiang movies in this era can compete with movies from any region, and the local market is also important to the UK. The [-] series has also won many annual championships. Who said Xiangjiang people are not patriotic? How popular is the [-] series? , It is enough to prove that Xiangjiang people are patriotic.
The Xiangjiang market's acceptance of [-] can be said to rank second among markets other than the British mainland, and the first is the Federal Republic of Germany.Every time a new film of [-] is released, the Germans will proudly puff up their chests, even though the Germans lost to Britain in two world wars.
"We can still help Mr. Jack Cheng a lot. The biggest disadvantage of Xiangjiang movies is that the background is too fake." The scene, Britain's current status in the world, can still be filmed from many places, at least there is no problem in the Commonwealth of Nations.
"You want to absorb Xiangjiang's film industry." How could Vivien Leigh not know the purpose of this man? Thanks to this man's script ability, United Artists Films has developed well, but compared to the creation of the entire Hollywood, how can the Secretary-General of the Cabinet President Kong is concerned about this kind of thing, "Hollywood is still strong."
"It will be fine after this period of time." Alan Wilson is not so pessimistic. It seems that since Inception, American movies have also lost their creativity.It has become various trilogy, even ten, and Marvel's paradise, which is not like now, with great white sharks and King Kong emerging one after another.
"Is the hope of getting through this period of time in Xiangjiang?" Vivien Li didn't understand, but this man had already established trust with her, so she couldn't say anything.
"Wrong, it's because of the actor Jack Cheng. It's not about Xiangjiang." Alan Wilson corrected, comedy movies can't break through cultural barriers, but kung fu movies can.
The level of Jack Cheng must not be regarded as the level of Xiangjiang. In fact, the level of Xiangjiang films is definitely not outstanding. The reason why they are influential is entirely because of the emergence of a group of talents. It's over.
In order to find a market for British films, isn't Alan Wilson planning to visit the Soviet Union again, hoping that the Soviet Union can make some appropriate adjustments in the system of importing films.
It can be said that in the past year, the Soviet Union has definitely gained a lot, especially in Nicaragua, where new waves of strikes and student movements are surging; news about the corruption of officials in the Somoza regime is constantly being exposed.
Under the turbulent public opinion, the rebel faction supported by the Socialist International and Latin American countries took action and launched an attack on several large towns in the country at the same time. One of the provincial capitals, Masaya, is only [-] miles away from the capital; The northern mountains launched an offensive, captured several small towns, seized Somoza's industries and ambushed the transportation team responsible for transporting supplies, and organized students to march in the city to demand the punishment of the National Guard who committed the massacre.
As for the proletarian faction, they also took this opportunity to establish a grassroots organization called the Revolutionary Workers Committee among urban workers to gather strength.Chamorro, the leader of the bourgeois opposition, also called for strikes, strikes and strikes, and took to the streets against Somoza.
Repression ensued.In rural areas, entire villages were burned and napalm was mercilessly dropped on peasants.
In the cities, demonstrators were attacked by the National Guard and rogue thugs hired by Somoza.However, this did not extinguish the anger of the people at all, and the fighting spirit continued to rise.
This may be the first time after World War II that the Soviet Union and Germany have the same attitude on one matter. In fact, the Socialist International rarely supports the overthrow of a country's regime by force.But this time is obviously an exception. At the meeting of the Socialist International, the German Socialist Party insisted on adopting the model of armed overthrow, which surprised the British Labor Party. The most surprising thing was that the German idea won the support of Latin American countries.
"What Soviet-German alliance." Alan Wilson muttered, he had already seen that the Germans were not good, and this was the most obvious evidence.
The first thousand and 510 three chapters such as Afghanistan
However, the Soviet Union and Germany coincidentally engaged in trouble in Nicaragua, and the effect was very obvious. At this time, the battered Somoza regime adopted a strategy of dialogue with the bourgeois opposition, trying to divide the revolutionary forces opposing him.
But even the bourgeois opposition saw the weakness of the Somoza regime, so that they took a fence-sitting attitude towards it, and at the same time kept in touch with the American embassy and the insurgents.
In the end, out of fear of being abandoned by the United States, the little Somoza sent someone to openly assassinate Chamorro on the street.
This move not only failed to disintegrate the anti-dictatorship movement throughout Nicaragua, but further aroused public anger and became the trigger for a general strike and general demonstrations across the country.With the support of the traditional opposition, the Catholic Church and representatives of the business community, the strikes and demonstrations lasted for several weeks, and many properties of the United States and the Somoza family were burned.
Internationally, the Roman Catholic Church also began to criticize the Somoza regime for violating human rights; under pressure, the US Congress had to hold hearings on Somoza's human rights violations and misappropriation of disaster relief aid.
At the same time, in other parts of Nicaragua, popular uprisings and offensives against Somoza were surging.
On the southern border, the rebels attacked Peñas Blancas and Rivas from military bases in Costa Rica; while in Granada, the National Guard was besieged by guerrillas in barracks.
In the northern mountains, PWW forces also attacked several National Guard posts and organized peasant land grabs.
As for the Indian villages in the east, they spontaneously organized uprisings.Among them, the uprising in the Monimbo area was the most tragic.There, people used homemade bombs, clubs, machetes, old-fashioned rifles, pistols and even boiling water to drive out the National Guard.
The notorious National Guard counterattacked under the cover of tanks, helicopter gunships and armored vehicles, massacring hundreds of people.But just a few weeks later, Monimbo erupted into a bigger revolt.
Under the popular uprisings and armed attacks that spread all over the country, in the countryside, the National Guard has long become a street mouse that everyone shouts and beats. It only dares to operate in rural areas when it is heavily deployed and covered by aircraft.
The situation in Nicaragua at this time, if you use an example as a comparison, is very similar to the situation in the civil war in Angola, except that a certain big country really does not have the ability to extend its hands to Latin America.
The European Socialist International, especially the part of the country that supported the German Socialist Party, replaced a certain country and became one of the three pillars of Nicaragua.
When Alan Wilson visited the Soviet Union, what he was facing was the current situation where the Soviet Union and Germany were jointly stabbing the American ass.
He remembered that, as in Angola, the Soviet Union had finally taken out the United States and the Socialist International faction, and had won in Nicaragua.
So it makes sense for the Americans to always guard against the resurgence of Russia. Look at the Soviet Union at its peak, pushing the front line to southern Africa, and Latin America can win in the backyard of the United States. Of course, the Americans do not want Russia to A little chance of revival.
In fact, when Russia was fighting against Ukraine, Nicaragua also invited Russia to station troops in Nicaragua. Indeed, in the eyes of many countries, Russia is the opponent in the eyes of the United States.
Although Russia is already far behind the Soviet Union in terms of national strength, the strong inherent impression of the Soviet Union has been inherited a lot.
This country is indeed of great united front value, and Alan Wilson had to come here to explain that the military cooperation between the United Kingdom and a certain major country is definitely not aimed at a third party, such as the Soviet Union.
Regarding the import of British films and cultural dissemination, this matter must be decided by the cultural tsar. It is not the first time for Alan Wilson to visit the Soviet Union. He expressed concern for his old friend, "Katya, you must take good care of yourself when you are old. , and what's more, you have a good son."
"I accept the Sir's personal greeting." Fultseva knew that this was the man's expression of concern, and the greatest achievement of the cooperation between the two was a secret that could not be made public. The Culture Tsar could not respond positively. The two then discussed They discussed cultural exchanges between the two countries, the development of each other's films, and so on.
Of course, there is also the Moscow Olympics carefully organized by the Soviet Union. Historically, the Olympics were boycotted because of the war in Afghanistan. From a personal point of view, Alan Wilson certainly did not want this to happen, and neither did all the residents of the Newfoundland royal territory. If the United States If you don't participate, will the gaming industry still operate?That would not be a one-man show for the Soviet Union, and it would be enough to force the Soviet Union to win without thinking.
Regarding the Moscow Olympics, perhaps apart from the Soviets themselves, the Newfoundlanders are the ones who are most concerned. If there are any, the Asian casinos managed by the Portuguese are also very concerned.
During the conversation with Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko, Alan Wilson expressed his concerns about the Soviet Union’s aggressiveness in some fields. In fact, he himself was not very worried. He was just conveying the concerns of the Americans. What is there to worry about in the UK? Angola war?It was a colony of Portugal. ,
Guerrilla warfare in Nicaragua?That is the backyard of the Americans. The situation in British East Africa is relatively stable in the few places I am interested in, and there is no need to worry too much after the war in the Middle East is over.As for Xiangjiang Malaya, isn’t that developing very well?
Although it is undeniable that the current free world is indeed a rhythm that is about to end, but Alan Wilson knows that Reagan has not even waved the Seven Injuries Fist, and it is still very early before it really ends.
When Reagan raises the debt, if the Soviet Union cannot be suppressed, it may be really dangerous. The current danger is not fatal.
Generally speaking, the time when people felt the end of the free world was strongest should be in [-], especially when the Pahlavi Dynasty was overthrown.The layout of the United States in the Middle East has been broken. Originally, in the plan of the United States, Iran was to act as a Middle East policeman with Israel, and contain the Arab world, which is generally more pro-Soviet, from the east and west.
However, the overthrow of the Pahlavi dynasty directly led to the collapse of the US military pillar in the Middle East. In the future, it will need to rely entirely on Israel in the military. As for the weak chicken in Saudi Arabia, it has never been considered.
In Allen Wilson's mind, the Pahlavi dynasty was difficult to maintain. In the 2000th century, it was already very difficult for a monarchy to maintain in a larger country.For example, Saudia is only superficially large. There are not many livable areas in the entire country, and the population is only about [-] million. It is really not a big country.
Whether it can really be maintained will depend on next year, at least there is no sign of an accident at present.Gromyko gave a response to the British concerns that had nothing to do with the Soviet Union. Only Gromyko himself knows how sincere this response is.
It can be said that Alexeyev came late. He was called by his mother when he appeared. Alexeyev, who was carrying the rank of major general, undoubtedly entered a key step in his life.
Alan Wilson was also happy about this, and then he thought that Albert, who served in the German Rheinland Army, is now a second lieutenant. Is the gap there a bit big?You should work hard in the military so that your son can be promoted quickly.
Alexeyev changed his job in another department, KGB Ninth Directorate, and now he is the deputy director of the Ninth Directorate, the Kremlin Guard Corps, which is under the management of the KGB Ninth Directorate, which is responsible for the security of dignitaries. It is responsible for the Kremlin and Lenin's Tomb Wait for the static security work of important targets and the protocol guard work, otherwise he would not be able to show up.
"Are you already the No. [-] figure in the General Administration?" Alan Wilson couldn't help but sigh at Hao Daer's promotion path. Although the cultural tsar also has a son, isn't it too fast?He was ashamed to take such good care of his son in England, and his heart to care about Albert became stronger and stronger.
"I'm not the first deputy director." Alexeyev shook his head, denying the old father's number two statement.
"It's all the same!" Alan Wilson was very optimistic. Can the cultural tsar watch his son stagnate? Does he have to retire early?He didn't know that Fortseva really thought so.
The topic shifted to the situation in Nicaragua. Alekseev couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard his old father's worries. This is the plan he submitted, and he felt relieved when he was mentioned at this time.
"Aren't you very proud?" Alan Wilson glanced at Hao Daer, and suddenly asked, "The United States will bear the ultimate consequences of messing up Latin America and creating a refugee wave. Once Latin American countries become unstable, the United States will face illegal activities." An invasion of immigrants, isn't it?"
Alexeyev didn't answer, he wondered if he didn't manage his expression well just now, but when he was introspecting, Alan Wilson asked back, "If I do the same in the neighboring countries of the Soviet Union, then you, the Soviet Union, will suffer , It is not impossible for this trick to be used on the Soviet Union in reverse."
"Impossible. The current situation in the neighboring countries of the Soviet Union is stable. Could it be Poland?" Alekseev shuddered and retorted in a low voice.
"Stability, do you mean Afghanistan? This country is not stable." Alan Wilson said slightly, "If I had to choose, I would do it in Afghanistan."
Alekseev was shocked, because the pro-Soviet military officers in Afghanistan were planning a coup d'etat. At this time, his old father mentioned Afghanistan, whether he had discovered something.
