British East Africa was used to replace British India. At the end of World War II, when British India was a certainty, it was proposed to form a British East African Federation, with Kenya as the core.
In terms of natural conditions, there is no problem with this plan. With such a large place connected together, the effective area is larger than that of British India. But what about the population? That is another matter.
Although Alan Wilson also admitted that black people in East Africa are more reliable than black people in West Africa on a certain level... the emergence of strongmen like Paul Kagame may not necessarily lead to development.
But that is not the purpose of Britain. Without a strongman like Paul Kagame, black people are not as good as Indians, let alone help.
In fact, Alan Wilson has a plan that is being implemented. Of course, it depends on the direction of the war in Katanga Province.
If there is enough time, can only a certain big country and a prominent country take advantage of the window period of the Cuban Missile Crisis? Couldn't the UK take the opportunity to annex the area south of Lubumbashi and create a fait accompli?
"Today, we are still not sure of the authenticity of France's claim of victory. Even if it is true, France will not be able to rebuild a place destroyed by the war within a few years. The current situation is not imminent." Alan Wilson said
There is still time, at least there is still room to wait and see.
Let Lab Butler calm down for the time being, Alan Wilson thought about finding an opportunity to invite Her Highness the Princess to complete the manned spaceflight project.
Sometimes he also feels to himself that the love-minded princess Margaret, as she gets older, actually starts to think about others and starts to consider some royal dignity in her body.
The princess is still cute, but her growth process is a bit slow and she needs constant guidance from her brother-in-law.
The executive deputy director lowered his head and groped forward. Inspired by the conflicting forces in his chest, he put a dark and strong life into the fragmented passage. He could not express it, but
It made him very satisfied and very happy.
They exchanged sighs of satisfaction. Princess Margaret gave satisfactory feedback to the Deputy Secretary for Personal Care, "I thought you had forgotten me."
"How could it be?" Alan Wilson reached out and touched his sister-in-law's hair. His love for the royal family should never be doubted at all. "It's just the recent war situation in France that has made the government more passive. It's unexpected.
Our estimate.”
This is rare. Thinking of this, Princess Margaret put on her coat and turned around and said, "My brother-in-law, aren't you an official with a long-term vision? You always boast so much."
"That's true, but as long as a person is alone, there will always be omissions. I am trying my best to make up for it." Alan Wilson said with a sudden look while holding a cigar in his mouth, "It's not just me, the cabinet is also trying to find a way.
The military and Whitehall are all assessing the subsequent impacts and making plans from their own perspectives."
Even the long-abandoned British East African Federation plan has been proposed again, which shows that Britain is not as calm as it appears.
"You have a conscience." Princess Margaret snorted. Knowing that her brother-in-law also came here specially during his busy schedule, her expression calmed down and she stopped talking. Dressed neatly, the two walked out of the apartment, chatting about
The expansion plan of the Windsor Castle Hotel seems normal.
Alan Wilson's newly replaced five agents are obviously much more reliable than the previous agents. He has become accustomed to this! Just treat it as if the princess has business matters and wants to talk to the richest man's husband for advice.
After saying goodbye politely, Alan Wilson went straight home to his sun as a sign of loyalty.
Pamela Mountbatten is already thinking about starting her own migratory bird plan and rushing to live in Perth before the weather gets cold. Listening to her husband educating her children, "Once a suspicious man appears next to your mother, tell your father immediately, you know?"
?”
Pamela Mountbatten rolled her eyes and couldn't help but said with a smile, "For God's sake, do you have so little faith in me?"
"This is not a matter of belief or not, and it has nothing to do with God. It is purely a personal matter of mine." Alan Wilson put his hands on his waist with a confident look on his face, "Fundamentally speaking, it is always right to be careful."
"Well, who made you my husband?" Pamela Mountbatten was no longer unable to accept her husband's pacifist approach, which had been the case for so many years. "It has spread throughout France.
This time De Gaulle has unquestionable authority, what should we do?"
"There is no concrete solution yet." As soon as Alan Wilson finished speaking, the phone rang. There were some things that he just couldn't resist talking about.
Pamela Mountbatten saw her husband directly, listened to the voice on the phone, and looked like a senior bureaucrat with supreme authority. She guessed that the call should be from Norman Brooke. If it was someone else, her husband would never be like this.
kind of performance.
Alan Wilson waited until he put down the phone before speaking, "Call from the cabinet secretary, something about France?"
"It's related, but it's mainly our own business." Alan Wilson thought for a moment and said, "Malta's offshore balancing role in North Africa has been valued by the cabinet. I also do overseas work."
When Pamela Mountbatten heard about offshore balance, she said helplessly, "It's a very old word."
"Don't regard tradition as obsolete." Alan Wilson laughed and said, "My dear, if the method works, why not use it? After all, it has been proven for hundreds of years that this method is effective."
All nations and all arts have their hypocrisy. Most of mankind's food is lies, and there is only a very small amount of truth.
The human spirit is very weak and cannot bear pure truth; it must use its own religion, morality, politics, poets, and artists to wrap a layer of lies around the truth.
These lies are adapted to each nation and are different: the reason why it is so difficult for various nations to understand each other and so easy to despise each other is because of these lies.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The truth is the same for everyone, but every nation has its lies, and they all call them ideals; a person is always the same from birth to death.
Breathing these lies, lies become one of the conditions of survival; only a few born geniuses can escape after a heroic struggle and are not afraid of being isolated in their own free thinking field.
Therefore, this kind of thing cannot be said to be noble or despicable. Just because other countries know it well, the UK will not do it. From this time on, Malta's independence has officially come to an end.
Gibraltar in the west of the Mediterranean, Malta in the center, and Cyprus in the east are the arrangements made by the United Kingdom to protect maritime rights in the Mediterranean. Because the Suez Canal War did not break out, the canal is still open. This is an extremely important lifeline for the United Kingdom.
It is still very important at this time.
The Mediterranean Fleet is still the largest fleet in the British Navy. When Alan Wilson received a call from Norman Brooke, he knew that his father-in-law's military opinions had been adopted by the current cabinet.
"It is not appropriate to maintain a colonial state for a long time." Alan Wilson said after arriving at No. 70 Whitehall and listening to Norman Brooke relaying the results of the cabinet meeting.
"The cabinet also has the same view. Malta has three hundred square kilometers and a population of 300,000." Norman Brooke said the data about Malta, and then said, "The cabinet means that on the premise of ensuring no independence, it will adopt a similar approach to Newfoundland.
Of course, we must maintain a stable living condition."
"I want to open free ports to southern Europe and develop offshore financial centers and transit stations. In addition, Malta itself has beautiful scenery, develops tourism projects, and generates income from the British naval base. It should be good." Alan Wilson does not mind,
Newfoundland is mentioned again.
After all, it was an important and glorious experience in his life, but she never expected that Malta would become the second royal territory after Newfoundland. She had always thought it should be Northern Rhodesia.
Malta is located in the sea between Libya and Italy. As we all know, Italy has few oil resources, so it has always been very concerned about North Africa. In the Algerian War, it was still on the side of France.
Even though both countries are members of Latin countries, there are still conflicts in their treatment of North Africa. You cannot think that Italy will support France just because of this.
In a broad sense, Germany also says that Britain is a member of the Germanic people, but only the Germans themselves think so.
Britain has never believed that it has anything to do with the so-called Great Germany. That is just wishful thinking on the part of the Germans.
Almost immediately, Alan Wilson had a whole set of thoughts. He suddenly remembered that Libya's oil share was still 50/50. When dealing with Iran, he had forgotten about Libya. It was so far away that he didn't think of it.
Alan Wilson, who took on the new task, immediately decided to ask his wife whether Libya's oil share had changed. If not, it would be a good opportunity to negotiate with the Kingdom of Libya.
"It's true that it hasn't been changed yet!" Pamela Mountbatten thought about it and picked up the phone to make a call. "Marina, is Libya's stone share still the original contract?"
Putting down the phone, Pamela Mountbatten nodded, "The Kingdom of Libya has been mentioned twice, and the person in charge below has dealt with it. What do you want to do now?"
"What to do, celebrate the emergence of the second royal territory and formulate a development plan at the same time." Alan Wilson said with an inflated face, telling that the Newfoundland model was taken out by the cabinet and applied to Malta.
"How can I help?" Pamela Mountbatten took the initiative, feeling that she must have her own role.
"Imitate Singapore and use Malta as an oil refining center between North Africa and Southern Europe." Alan Wilson replied, "I'm going to conduct an inspection soon to determine the local living standards and employment population to see if this is necessary. Maybe not.
