Alan Wilson expressed his absolute support for the Foreign Secretary at this time. It was already 1960, and the good days of India, the leader of the Non-Aligned Movement and the leader of the Third World, were numbered.
In fact, the fight for the roof of the world has already begun, but superficial friendship still masks differences. After this year, India, which feels good about itself, must be careful not to let a certain big country seize the opportunity.
From the British perspective, a former colony is of course better off, as this is good for everyone.
Alan Wilson even expected that after the war, Britain could raise prices to reduce inventory and achieve a win-win result with India.
In order to realize this wonderful vision, when Macmillan visited India, it was best to pretend to be deaf and dumb when encountering border issues, including but not limited to northern border issues and Portuguese Goa.
Postponing the Goa issue as long as possible may not change the final ownership of Portuguese Goa, but losing Goa now is not appropriate for Britain. It is best to keep Goa, which is similar to Hong Kong in its positioning, for as long as possible.
The longer the better.
In order to buy as much time as possible for Portugal, Alan Wilson also told Macmillan clearly, "If it doesn't work, we can refer to Nigeria's model and formulate a five-year road map. Don't let the Goa issue lead to a war."
All colonial countries in Europe should be grateful for the existence of Alan Wilson. Who else could he be the most conscientious official in the British diplomatic field for a hundred years?
Therefore, Macmillan still had to explain some details to Macmillan, otherwise he might be overwhelmed by Nehru's questions. For example, there are folk rumors in Goa that Britain has stored nuclear bombs there.
"Is there such a thing?" Macmillan was shocked. He was the British Foreign Secretary and did not know about such a thing.
"Of course not, the nuclear bomb is in the Malayan colony. However, this unconfirmed statement was also made by the permanent undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who did not want to be named. In order to ensure the safety of the dumping route of British products to India."
Alan Wilson was confident and patriotic, "Except for disputed territorial issues, Britain can express its support for India in other aspects."
In the end, Macmillan's visit to India was scheduled for the middle of the year, because according to public information, the prime minister of a certain major country would visit India, so Macmillan would have a better time to visit India later.
Alan Wilson believed that Macmillan's visit would definitely be fruitful. Thanks to years of hard work, India as a whole was now far behind the Malayan colonies in other aspects except population. Although Britain was unable to face the United States and the Soviet Union,
, but you can still show off as a suzerain country in front of India.
The UK's economic aggregate is only one-third that of the United States, but it is still the only country in the world besides the United States with an economic aggregate exceeding 100 billion, crushing major European countries by three to four times.
.
This kind of economic aggregate is the reason why Britain is resisting the pressure from the United States this time and is not letting up on the Iran issue.
However, the United Kingdom still attaches great importance to the visit of US Secretary of State Dulles. The British economy has got rid of the sequelae of the war, but the United States is booming. The total economic volume of the United States exceeds 500 billion, more than three times that of the United Kingdom.
In other economies, the gap is ten times.
Even if the United Kingdom is included, the economic aggregate of the entire Europe is only a little more than half of that of the United States. Otherwise, why would Alan Wilson feel that in the end, Britain still had little hope of preserving Iran's interests? From the standpoint of the United States, he would not
They will have the confidence to force other countries to submit.
"When will the war in Vietnam begin?" Alan Wilson couldn't help but sigh. Only if the Vietnam War starts soon can the UK have a chance to breathe. Although he has worked very hard, facing the United States in this era, he can still feel the pressure.
Suffocating pressure.
What is certain is that the British diplomatic field will be very lively in the first half of the year. Prime Minister Eden, who is personally handling foreign affairs issues, is preparing for Dulles' visit, the Foreign Secretary is preparing to visit India, and Alan Wilson is preparing to pay attention to even more unforeseen events.
Colonial issues attracted attention.
Cameroon's trusteeship time has actually passed. Cameroon will not be independent on the first day of 1960. Britain and France still have some respect for some issues. In theory, Cameroon can become independent as long as it does not exceed this year.
on any day of the year.
France, which has been fighting in various major colonies after the war, is obviously in the process of reflection and is preparing to learn from Britain's retreat and use political means instead of military actions to preserve its influence. Then Cameroon's independence cannot be hasty, even because of the British Cameroon
existence, we need to cooperate with the UK.
Of course, Alan Wilson, the pro-European Deputy Secretary-General, could not remain indifferent to the common hatred that France had never had in nine hundred years. He took information from the Colonial Department and prepared for Cameroon's independence.
Just because the area of British Cameroon is small cannot mean that it has nothing to do with the UK. The UK also has a colony that has reached the mandate period this year, which is British Somalia. The area of British Somalia was originally small, but because of Italy's defeat in World War II, the entire Somalia was placed under British mandate.
The total area is 640,000 square kilometers.
But now there are only 170,000 square kilometers of colonies belonging to the United Kingdom, because a few years ago, before the trusteeship time came, the United Kingdom handed over the part of Somalia that was originally intended to the locals.
After meddling in the independence of Cameroon, Alan Wilson will also go to British Somalia to ensure that British Somalia will not merge with the current government of Italian Somalia after independence.
Merger and partition, just at the thought of him, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in order to weaken the Igbo people in Nigeria, British Cameroon should merge with French Cameroon.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In order to retain its influence on the Horn of Africa, British Somalia should establish an independent country independent of Somalia. This is all for the sake of British interests and is not noble at all.
and despicable.
Alan Wilson, who was bound to fight for his country, stayed at Vivien Leigh's place before leaving to ensure there would be no logistical crisis.
Vivien Leigh said something that haunted him: "Ellen, there is a life hidden in your body. I am not good enough to bring it out. I am too weak to reach it. Sometimes I feel that you have been here for a long, long time.
, longer than a lifetime, you seem to have lived in a secret place that none of us could even dream of. You scare me, even though you are gentle to me. If I don't struggle to control when I'm with you
For myself, I would feel like I had lost my focus and would never recover.”
"My God. Vivian, I simply feel that my knowledge reserve is in crisis." Alan Wilson carefully tasted Vivien Leigh's words. Can he be so artistic when driving now?
"Be gentle next time, it will break my waist." Vivien Leigh was a little annoyed, as if she was complaining about the man's lack of understanding of style.
"If you had said that earlier, wouldn't I have understood?" Alan Wilson apologized with an expression on his face that he would do it again next time.
This can't be blamed on him. Vivien Leigh's body shape is considered very petite among white people. When they are together, Alan Wilson always wants to show his strength as a man. Some driving skills are difficult for Vivien Leigh to achieve.
This is absolutely different from the Swedish car test drive experience. Sometimes Alan Wilson doubts that he will be thrown away by the Swedish car.
"The conditions in Africa are difficult. You must take good care of yourself when you arrive." Vivien Leigh lay on the man's chest and muttered like a wife, "Remember to pay attention to safety, Vivian is still waiting for you in London."
"I will!" Alan Wilson kissed Vivien Leigh's forehead, "train David well, I will contact you when I need you." As he said this, there was another quarrel.
Africa's Independence Year will surely leave a mark in history because of Alan Wilson's intervention.
This continent that people think is dark in a general sense will then find that the sky is deeper and higher.
While Alan Wilson was rushing to Africa, the Prime Minister was meeting Dulles and the Foreign Secretary was meeting Nehru in India. He was in Lagos investigating how to achieve independence in Cameroon without affecting the stability of Nigeria.
There are other things. Alan Wilson was walking in the prison of the Dominion of Nigeria, feeling the dark and somewhat terrifying environment. The traces on the walls seemed to tell the indomitable spirit of resistance of the African people over the years.
"We have been ignoring this issue." Alan Wilson, accompanied by Ingram, strolled through the cell passage. "We do not take a position on some specific issues, and we do not want the diplomatic dispute to spread to the Commonwealth, especially the Republic of Congo.
among independent or not-yet-independent colonies.”
"What about these people?" Ingram pointed to the dying prisoners in some cells, most of whom were Chinese.
"Mr. Chang should know how to act according to his ability." Alan Wilson bent down and looked at the imprisoned gun gang members, "I have never seen them, and they have never been to Nigeria. Africa is such a dangerous place, and you don't know where the ghosts are.
The feeling has disappeared, do you still need to explain?"
Ingram understood what he meant. Alan Wilson turned away and stopped paying attention to the fate of these people. "This incident reminded me that I should not continue to ignore this problem. Africa is generally lagging behind.
It is easy to be bribed with small favors, and each colony should eliminate these potential dangers."
Although it was a few months later than the original history, Cameroon still moved towards independence under the great care of Alan Wilson. On the grounds of safeguarding the integrity of Cameroon's territorial sovereignty, Alan Wilson notified the British representative at the United Nations to ensure that British Cameroon would regain its independence.
Merged with French Cameroon.
During this period, he also discussed with the French and elaborated on the benefits of merger. The complete Cameroon was divided into English-speaking and French-speaking areas, which would be conducive to France's future intervention. "Federalism is the most suitable. We hope that independent Cameroon will protect the rights and interests of the English-speaking community."
