"In principle, we respect the majority ethnic group and protect the ethnic minorities, but if there is a power vacuum after the British withdrawal, the Arabs may not continue to do this. And then the British situation will be very embarrassing. If we side with the black people,
The Arab countries may be dissatisfied, but if they side with the Arabs, what will the black people in British Africa think?"
"So the purpose of separating Sudan is to clarify the boundaries between the two. If we intervene in the future, we will not be criticized."
"Is that so?" After listening to Norman Brooke's words, Prime Minister Attlee asked after a long while.
"It is true, dear Prime Minister." Norman Brooke said as if he was sure of victory. "For this reason, I specially asked Allen to come back to deal with this difficult matter. The Prime Minister knows that he is the Assistant Commissioner to British India.
In 1948, he handled the independence issue of British India very well. He was a very rare talent among young officials in Whitehall. The current prosperous Malayan colony can prove this."
Attlee nodded directly after listening. He remembered the young official not because he was Mountbatten's son-in-law.
It was purely due to Alan Wilson's strong resume that in the last two years of British India, with the entire British Indian civil service, he scraped out nearly 500 million pounds.
He turned around and became the chief executive of Newfoundland, turned around Newfoundland's debt-ridden finances, and directly extinguished the wave of independence in Newfoundland. As a result of the final referendum, Newfoundland was transformed into a royal territory, creating an offshore center in North America.
Today, the royal territory of Newfoundland has no post-war difficulties. The standard of living has already caught up with the United States and Canada. The existing gaming industry alone can take good care of the residents of Newfoundland.
Although Parliament is dissatisfied with this practice of the gambling industry and considers it a very degenerate policy, the Newfoundland Parliament and the British Parliament do not have a superior-subordinate relationship and have never turned a deaf ear to similar opinions.
Newfoundland is willing to become a royal territory because a small country next to a big country has a sense of crisis and is afraid of becoming part of Canada or the United States and losing its local autonomy. However, this problem does not exist for the United Kingdom. After all, Newfoundland is separated from the United Kingdom by the Atlantic Ocean, which is very far away.
produce beauty.
After ending his career as chief executive of Newfoundland, Alan Wilson went to the Malayan colony non-stop to serve as high commissioner. He also served as deputy secretary-general of the Overseas Assets Management Committee, integrating the wealth of overseas colonies and managing British Malaya on the front line.
.
Now less than 30 years old, he is the chief administrator of a colony of nearly 500,000 square kilometers. He also oversees overseas assets of more than 3.5 billion pounds. The steel output of the Malayan colony alone is
In a short period of time, it caught up with the British mainland, filling the demand in the pound area and stabilizing the crumbling pound area.
Fighting in three major colonies, each one has achieved outstanding results, and it is impossible not to notice.
"If Allen pays personal attention, the situation should not get out of control." Prime Minister Attlee finally expressed optimism, "Of course, the most important thing is whether we can distance ourselves from each other. Norman, you also know that some countries always
It means that the British deliberately divided British India, but this is not the case."
"After all, we don't want tragedies to happen. We should let people with similar experiences handle it." Norman Brooke loudly agreed, "The most important thing is that we hope that Britain will not bear the moral burden in the future."
Alan Wilson, who was riding Markins' private car home, was very happy with the changes in the East End. He kept boasting all the way, feeling as if God had not given birth to me Alan, and the Great Britain would be like a long night.
As for the subway incident that happened during the day, it was considered a matter and did not deserve too much attention at all. Just follow the normal process.
It's a pity that London can't ask for logistical support now, so this matter is more difficult. The other party's royal limited edition luxury car has said that it can be test driven at any time, but in London, the capital of the empire, test driving the royal luxury car?
The risk is still very high, and this matter needs to be considered in the long term. It is safer to do things on your own territory.
He tossed and turned that night, and even felt a little absent-minded when he accepted Norman Brooke's appointment the next day.
"Alan, I believe you have felt the Prime Minister's trust in you." Norman Brooke, who was only a young official with a promising future, just rushed back from Asia and had not yet recovered from the jet lag, asked, "About Sudan
What are your thoughts on independence?"
"There are several basic ideas. Divide Sudan into two parts and establish an independent country dominated by Arabs and blacks. There is no rush to withdraw troops, especially the troops stationed in South Sudan. This can reflect the British responsible attitude."
Alan Wilson thought as he said, "The problem in South Sudan is not big. As for North Sudan, to prevent the merger of North Sudan and Egypt, only when we get there can we find which faction is worth supporting. From a more macro perspective, such as the Arab world and black Africa
Because of the relationship, we can only adapt to circumstances."
"The fundamental purpose is to prevent independent countries from living too well, which is actually very important for Britain and the entire civilized world. Of course, dear Sir Norman, this is just my personal idea."
"It is also the collective will of the entire Whitehall." Norman Brooke nodded with satisfaction, "When will your John set off?"
"You can do it at any time!" Alan Wilson expressed his determination to make progress in a timely manner, indicating that he was a brick of Great Britain and could be moved wherever needed. He never asked how many enemies there were, only where they were.
Then Alan Wilson left Whitehall, preparing to face a new? Not entirely new. He had already experienced similar independent projects twice, once in British India and once in British Newfoundland. The results were different, but
The process is pretty much the same.
From this moment on, the entire independence agenda of the British Sudan was entirely in his hands, and the glorious era was back...
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! So his first stop was actually Egypt. There was no way. Egypt was the leader of the Arab world. Farouk I looked like Ali Pasha when he was alive.
It is necessary to understand what the views of the Sultan who once ruled are clear.
Immediately afterwards, Alan Wilson and John set off, transiting in Paris and heading straight to Cairo. After the two left, Hedy Lamarr took her Arab robes and embarked on a logistical support journey.
Soon after, the two arrived at Cairo's Farouk I International Airport. It was already 1955, and one year before the historical Suez Canal War.
Alan Wilson does not believe that history will continue to move towards the set goal so stubbornly, but the time is sensitive, so he still wants to learn more about Egypt at this time to see if there is a possibility of overturning.
As for the basic independence process, it is not difficult for two people who have worked in British India. It is nothing more than balancing the strategy and leaving as much weapons and equipment as possible to the weaker southern black army.
Basic operations.
Of course, the current Sudan also has British troops stationed, only more than 3,000 people, but they are enough. Like the wars against many colonies, Britain also suffered losses in Sudan, and the governor was also shot to death by the Sudanese.
The first conquest of Sudan failed, and Britain repeatedly instigated Ethiopia to attack Sudan, which greatly weakened Sudan's power.
This is also a routine operation of the British. To conquer India is to win over Hyderabad for help. Even if Sudan resists to the end, it cannot change the fate of the entire Sudan becoming a colony.
"Once Sudan becomes independent, where do you want to go?" In the hotel arranged by King Farouk I personally, Alan Wilson held a wine glass and looked down at the urban area of Cairo and asked.
"I haven't thought about it yet, maybe I can go back to work in China?" John was also full of confusion when he heard this question. Obviously, he was not very sure about the future. Finally he joked, "Maybe I will become a businessman and sell goods."
Arabian rubber.”
Although they are both called rubber, Arabic gum is mainly used in the food industry. Arabic gum basically does not produce heat. It is a good water-soluble dietary fiber and is used in health products, candies and beverages. Medically speaking, Arabic gum also has the ability to lower blood cholesterol.
Function.
The largest producer of Arabic rubber is Sudan, which can be regarded as a relatively iconic industry in Sudan.
"John, there is no need to be so pessimistic. Isn't there still South Sudan? If a war breaks out due to partition, maybe South Sudan won't want us to leave." Alan Wilson is quite optimistic. After all, not only are the number of black people in Sudan small,
The level of civilization is also worse than that of the Arabs, which is in line with the British Empire's consistent standard of hoeing the strong and supporting the weak.
At least the situation is better than that of France. As expected, Algeria, after the defeat of the French army in the Battle of Dien Bien Phu, wanted to test the quality of France for itself, and started to make trouble.
If this thing has a beginning, countless others will imitate it. When Britain and India talked about independence, many colonies wanted to continue the talks. When Vietnam and France fought for independence, there were countless colonies who also wanted to try it.
At the end of 1954, the Algerian National Liberation Army launched simultaneous uprisings in more than 30 places across the country, attacking colonial authorities' garrisons, outposts, gendarmerie, police stations and other military targets.
It can be said that this is a blow to the Paris government, which has just obtained Algerian oil from Pamela Mountbatten. However, it has not yet formed a climate that will lead to a large-scale increase in French troops.
That's what Alan Wilson thought anyway, but it turned out that this kind of thing is not something that can be resisted. On the day Alan Wilson picked up a woman in a black robe from Farouk I International Airport, Paris announced that it would send more troops to Algeria. This was comparable to the original history.
The reaction speed is much faster.
"Did you hear anything like this when you were in Paris?" Alan Wilson asked Hedy Lamarr, who was dressed in Arab clothes.
"There are some folk reports that the French are preparing to go to war." Hedy Lamarr thought about it and said, "I just don't know what the outcome will be."
