All those invited by Alan Wilson were local civil servants. As for the overseas pillars of the empire, they were also very busy. It was not suitable to leave the colonies, and they were all implementing the concept of orderly retreat.
At present, the main focus on the independence movement is to suppress it. If it cannot be suppressed, the next step will be taken.
The main steps are that from a geographical point of view, the empire first allows the mainland or inland to implement autonomy, and then moves towards independence. As for the seaports and commercial centers on the coast or islands, if possible, they will retreat later, and the empire will have other arrangements.
These arrangements not only preserved Britain's traditional interests, but during the process of colonization, these commercial ports had formed an economic, cultural, and political structure that was completely different from that of the inland.
When the colonial power was handed over, Britain would never hand over all the power suddenly, but would transfer power gradually, such as handing over local power first, or handing over economic and social affairs such as economy, labor, education, and medical care to the local people.
Manage or establish a semi-independent self-government, and then gradually transfer political, military and legal affairs to ensure that the political and business elites trained by the British control the power.
Of course, some stories need to be circulated locally, such as the story of a certain island. This island was once prosperous. It grew coffee, and the mother country artificially controlled the price. But after independence, the island became poor within a few months:
Colonists, experts, and senior managers of enterprises were driven away or left, banks, factories, and large commercial houses closed down, and funds and investments disappeared.
This destruction resulted in many indigenous emigrations: those accused of complicity in the declining colonial system and those who chose to emigrate to support their families left the island.
This is of course just a story, with different versions in different colonies. The purpose is to undermine public sentiment and buy time for Britain's orderly withdrawal.
After a series of planning, the goal of dividing and conquering was finally achieved. Of course, these steps have not yet come.
Each colonial commissioner is now on record, ready to be put into practice over a period of ten to twenty years.
This practice should have started long ago. If Germany had not started the World War II copy so quickly, Britain could have slowly practiced and explored the management methods of the colonies instead of just starting.
The key is that World War II broke out before Britain could find a way to control its colonies invisibly. After the war, Britain faced the eyes of the United States and the Soviet Union.
The colleagues invited are mainly people from Whitehall, but together with the connections of the Mountbatten family, there are many.
If a force that is not on good terms with Britain wants to teach the imperialists a lesson at this time and can reimburse a group of British high-level officials, Alan Wilson thinks it will not be difficult for Britain to pass a war bill immediately.
While shopping with Pamela Mountbatten, my fiancée admired a crocodile leather bag, which was said to be a new product from Louis Vuitton.
Of course, Alan Wilson took the initiative to assume the obligation to buy it. He waited until Pamela Mountbatten expressed his feelings about not putting it down before he said, "This leather bag is made of the skin of the crocodile. My dear, do you know where the crocodile comes from?"
What?"
"What are you going to say?" Pamela Mountbatten asked with some confusion.
"Louis Vuitton's company has been to Kuala Lumpur. If this bag is authentic, it should be the crocodile skin I sold to the French." Alan Wilson said calmly.
Pamela Mountbatten looked regretful when she heard this, and wanted to return the goods, but was stopped by Alan Wilson, "My dear, you are already happy, so I told you about it. For the salesperson just now,
She said, maybe she can get a certain share of the bonus, which is an unexpected surprise for her, so don’t give up."
"You are such a kind person." Pamela Mountbatten smiled knowingly. When she looked at the bag she bought, her love still did not diminish. "The French are really talented in this."
"That's true, very enviable." Alan Wilson smiled gently. Although he paid the IQ tax, he didn't feel any discomfort in his heart. After all, it was still within the tolerance range.
At this time, Pamela Mountbatten was full of longing for the future, and even thought that if she had time, she could go on a trip after marriage, such as going to Africa.
Crown Prince Elizabeth thought it was a good idea and mentioned her own experience traveling to Africa.
On the Gold Coast, the sun makes predatory animals restless. As soon as the sun comes out, red-clawed crabs hide in holes or get under garbage. Residents upstream throw garbage into the river, and the river slowly becomes sick.
The ground carried the garbage towards the small harbor. When the heat gradually subsided, the beach began to tremble.
Crabs crawled out from the cracks in the rocks one after another. Their fiery red carapace dots disappeared into the increasingly dense night. The dusk sunset weakly illuminated their foam. They huddled together and walked leisurely towards the sand dunes.
March. The plants were overwhelmed, and the crabs stepped on each other and climbed onto the sand and gravel.
There, the bark of the willow trees was peeled off by the hot wind, and the roots were tangled. Just when they reached the top, the fastest crabs slipped and fell, and the slowest and most agile crabs were injured by those who unfortunately rolled down.
Using the sand and soil that he has stepped on as support, he can easily overcome obstacles.
Her sister's story made Princess Margaret yearn for it, and she unconsciously looked at a certain Whitehall civil servant with a bright future who was serious and trying not to fall asleep.
When Pamela Mountbatten was showing off the new donkey brand in her hand, Alan Wilson had already begun to show symptoms of early drowsiness to the air, but with the current crown prince and future queen here, he did not dare to make a mistake.
He also wanted to leave a good impression on the future queen, not for any special reason. Compared with politicians who would do anything for their approval ratings besides caring about their approval ratings, the queen was still very trustworthy.
The so-called system is the future of mankind, just listen to it. Before the arrival of communism in the Soviet Union, Alan Wilson did not think that any system had any advanced nature.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I have rarely seen Pamela so happy." Crown Prince Elizabeth looked at Alan Wilson and said, "Alan, I wish you happiness in advance."
"My sister is already married. How about I be your bridesmaid." Princess Margaret took the initiative and said, "Now is the time when Charles needs to be taken care of. It seems that I am the only one who can shoulder this responsibility."
The name of Great Britain Yinreng finally made Alan Wilson, who had been struggling with drowsiness, wake up a little, but his brain agreed to Princess Margaret's proposal.
Thinking back to his mind, Alan Wilson slowly turned his neck away and looked at Princess Margaret. Was his nod just now a bit hasty?
It is a pity that Alan Wilson has not watched the TV series "The Crown" and has no knowledge of many things within the royal family.
If he could foresee that one day he would need relevant knowledge, he would have set aside some of his time as a minister in his previous life to learn about the internal stories of the British royal family.
Now it can be used as a reference, at least it will not turn a blind eye. Pamela Mountbatten saw that Princess Margaret's proposal was approved, and she also expressed her honor. After all, Princess Margaret is the image spokesperson of the royal family.
.
The princess and the crown prince look similar, but they are even more admirable. On Margaret's eighteenth birthday, King George VI proudly said: "She has the appearance of an angel, a beautiful figure and the temperament of a star."
Of course Pamela Mountbatten would not object to having such a symbol of royal beauty as a bridesmaid.
"Have you chosen a date?" Crown Prince Elizabeth asked, "I believe it will be very lively by then. Has anyone been invited?"
"Actually, we just invite some business partners." Pamela Mountbatten smiled happily. "Alan is going to invite some colleagues from Whitehall, and he also has two friends from abroad. As for the date, we are still considering it. After all, my father
My mother and I also have friends coming, but I think it would be more appropriate to choose a date before the end of August, and the weather is also a factor to consider."
The so-called two foreign friends are U.S. Senator McCarthy and the other is Princess Badiya of the Kingdom of Iraq.
There is no Alan Wilson's best friend Ali Khan. The reason is that Alan Wilson does not want to disturb the sale of the Sabah Crown. Ali Khan will only leave India when he feels confident. Any act of reaching out will cause inconvenience to Ali Khan.
Necessary troubles.
As a friend, Alan Wilson was definitely very interesting and even felt that Whitehall's offer was too expensive.
After the two left, Alan Wilson mentioned Princess Margaret's self-recommendation, "Isn't it a bit too showy to ask Her Royal Highness to be the bridesmaid? I am mainly afraid of attracting the attention of those who kneel and shake their fists."
"What about the media? You also said that they were kneeling and punching, and you Whitehall should have a solution, right?" Pamela Mountbatten took the initiative and said, "It's within the scope of your handling."
"Not necessarily, people can do anything for the sake of sales." Alan Wilson just hopes that it won't be known to everyone, and he doesn't know if he can think of a way.
If that doesn't work, you have to create a big news to divert attention. Alan Wilson suddenly had an idea and said, "The United States is promoting the merger of the occupied areas and establishing a coalition government. I will ask my colleagues in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to see how far it has gone.
, and then we will set the wedding time."
"My dear, are you working too hard?" Pamela Mountbatten's lips curled up slightly. Now she was thinking about her man from a good perspective. She didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this. Instead, she was working hard for her fiancé.
.
Maybe it’s because of deep love! Alan Wilson’s method is not original. It is nothing more than an old method. He proposed three methods, two of which were completely consistent and the remaining one was completely unacceptable, such as attacking the Soviet Union or bombing Warsaw.
