"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it too. I mean, I'm worried, yes, worried." Alan Wilson, who was shocked to lose his words, quickly added, the look of sowing discord on his face turned into a look of compassion, both for the war and for the war.
There are worries about expansion and hopes for peace.
The eyes are the windows to the soul, and thanks to Hedy Lamarr's wearing a black robe, except for a pair of charming eyes, the disdain on her face is hidden under the black veil, thus avoiding the embarrassment between the two of them.
If you want to look pretty and filial, wearing a black veil actually has the same effect as a wedding dress.
But obviously, Hedy Lamar's outfit does not have this effect. It is purely an outfit only worn by Arab conservatives in later generations.
Even so, as long as anyone can see these eyes, everyone will have the feeling that this woman must be beautiful.
"I'll change my clothes." Hedy Lamarr said the next sentence and went directly to the bathroom.
Alan Wilson sat on the sofa by the window and made reasonable guesses about France's war this round.
No matter what the final result is, it should be much more tragic than the same period in history. He even thought of a slogan similar to that of the Turkish government, "There are no Algerians, only Gobi French."
Hedy Lamarr came out quickly, wearing long black stockings, opened the suitcase in the bedroom, and took out her underwear to change as if no one else was watching, directly bringing the imperial commissioner who was immersed in the great cause of political affairs back to reality.
"This is too exciting." Alan Wilson let out a suppressed scream, with an unbearable expression on his face.
Hedy Lamarr, who had only the black stockings on her legs, glanced up at Alan Wilson and kept complaining, "Don't think I have much time, it's just that others don't want to come over. Greta doesn't even want to leave the house.
, Ingrid is still busy dealing with the company's affairs, and in the end I am the only one who sees you alone."
"Heidi, I'm very grateful." Alan Wilson didn't know what animals were in estrus, but his state at this moment interpreted the appearance of humans in estrus. A pair of eyes recorded the entire process without missing a single frame.
Such compliments did not cause any disturbance to Hedy Lamarr. She had heard similar sweet words countless times at different stages of her life. After a while, Hedy Lamar put on a shirt and
He untied his braids and sat down with his long hair hanging over his shoulders.
"Wouldn't I look less dignified like this?" Hedy Lamarr asked with a serious look as she put one piece of black silk on top of another, looming under her shirt.
"Are you okay?" Alan Wilson pretended to be serious, and looked away with difficulty. He wanted to show the professionalism of the imperial commissioner and make an evaluation from an objective and neutral perspective, but his peripheral vision always wanted to look that way.
It's very embarrassing.
"What are you looking at?" Hedy Lamarr raised the corner of her mouth slightly and joked, "It's not like I haven't seen it before. I haven't let you explore it carefully. At this time, you have become a gentleman again."
"Heidi, you know, I am on a business trip this time." Alan Wilson organized his words, but in the end, after thinking for a long time, he completely forgot the basic literacy of speaking skills, which was a disgrace to the British Empire for many years of training.
Hedy Lamarr nodded after hearing this and said, "Yes, why did you come to Africa this time? You were in such a hurry in Paris and left at a short notice. What are you doing here this time?"
This couldn't be blamed on him. It was an urgent matter related to the future of the empire. Of course, Alan Wilson couldn't stay in the romantic city for too long. He wanted to, but time really didn't allow it.
After opening his mouth, Alan Wilson replied, "Actually, it's similar to what France is doing now, but with different methods?"
Hedy Lamarr suddenly realized that Britain was also facing the wave of colonial independence, and asked with a probing look, "What place is it?"
"British Sudan." Alan Wilson answered and then added, "It is no smaller than Algeria. It is a very large colony." This is all modesty. The area of British Sudan is larger than Algeria.
Hedy Lamar does not know the situation in Sudan, but Algeria still knows something about it. France was ecstatic about reports of the discovery of oil in Algeria, and the craze lasted for a long time. The side effects of French political chaos are the politics of various parties.
The popularity is very high. In other words, the political environment in France is much more popular than in the UK.
Naturally, some basic information about Algeria had to follow this wave of enthusiasm, so that people like Hedy Lamarr who did not care much about politics knew it.
"Do you also want to suppress it?" Hedy Lamar asked after thinking about it, with a flash of worry in her eyes. If the suppression was carried out, Sudan might cause conflicts. She had to be a little worried. Faced with the terrible danger of war,
The woman was still a little panicked when she responded.
"No, the method adopted by France will never be adopted by the United Kingdom." Alan Wilson denied it flatly, adding, "Generally, we will use political means to solve problems."
The fact is that Britain did not have the extra troops to suppress it. Before Britain competed with France from the colonial era to the First World War, the victory or defeat was still quite obvious. Britain occupied areas with better land and a higher level of civilization.
The consequence is that the resistance forces faced by Britain are generally more difficult to deal with than those faced by France.
If you choose the same suppression as France, French Africa is within France's combat range, and Britain's combat distance is farther than France, so the cost of suppression will be greater.
Comparing the colonies before the war, Algeria is the best among the French colonies. But I believe that any normal person would not think that Algeria or Vietnam can be compared with British India.
The national will may be higher, but this cannot make up for the gap in all aspects. After independence, India can crush Vietnam. If Vietnam goes to war with India, it can take some advantages at the beginning, but if it makes a mistake, it will be the end of a complete collapse.
"What are the so-called mature political methods?" Hedy Lamarr did not think that what Alan Wilson said was literal. She also met this man in New Delhi. At that time, he was full of bad ideas, like a master key, opening many
Hollywood locks.
"You'll know when the time comes, hehe." Alan Wilson smiled softly, he was really embarrassed to say that he wanted to divide and conquer.
After all, this trick has been used once. Although this was the result of the two major religions themselves, the UK was unwilling to do this at first.
The area of British Sudan is 2.5 million square kilometers, which is more than twice that of Egypt. Just looking at the area, Sudan should be the big brother of Egypt. But in fact, for ordinary countries, the size of the population determines a country.
Whether a country is strong or not, war requires the support of the population after all.
Sudan has a population of about seven million, of which the ratio of Arabs to blacks is about four to one. There are more than five million Arabs and more than one million blacks in South Sudan.
Egypt's population is more than three times that of Sudan. Before the population explosion, Egypt's national power was far stronger than Sudan's.
Of course, in the eyes of many people in later generations, the division of Sudan was a powerful evidence of British colonization, and they believed that the result of the division was a landmine laid by the British. In Alan Wilson's view, this is even more ridiculous than the partition of India and Pakistan.
Which one is easier to deal with, Arabs or blacks? It’s like if there was no Britain, people would live in harmony and love each other as a family. Everyone could stand and talk without pain in their backs.
Judging from the ratio of population to area, Alan Wilson is quite confident. The population is only at the level of Hyderabad, or even worse. Sudan is an existence without the ability to resist to the British.
At the British Embassy in Cairo, Egypt, Alan Wilson brazenly shouted in front of his colleagues in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Sudanese Commissioner John, "The entire future of Sudan is in my hands, as long as I draw a stroke on the map with my pencil."
, is the birth of a new country.”
The British people in the embassy laughed loudly and raised their glasses to express their approval. They knew that this sentence was a boast made by Prime Minister Lloyd George when he was discussing with the French Prime Minister at the Paris Peace Conference. It meant that the post-war world is about two people.
under the pencil.
At this time, Alan Wilson said the famous words of the Paris Peace Conference, expressing his unparalleled determination, "A colony with a population of seven million, what do we want to do and how to do it? No one needs to be taught, as long as we do it right
It's in the UK's interest, no matter what other countries think."
"That's right! Cheers!" Colleagues at the British Embassy loudly agreed, fully agreeing with this imperialist statement.
"Alan, what are your specific thoughts this time?" John held the wine glass and asked if he had any ideas.
"Do you need to think of a way to deal with your bigger body? Humph..." Alan Wilson drank all the liquid in the cup and said nonchalantly, "If you dare to mess with me, I might take out one of the ten
It’s a losing plan. It’s not good for everyone.”
Khartoum is the current capital of Sudan. Khartoum is the confluence of the two Nile rivers. There is a small island in the middle of the river bed before the Blue Nile merges with the White Nile, called the "Earthbank", which divides the Blue Nile into two, with one on the south.
The water meets the White Nile on the south side of the island, flows forward, and joins another stream of water at the northern end of the island. The Blue and White Nile merge into one, called the Nile, and then flow north to Egypt.
Although the total population of Sudan is only seven million, Khartoum is a big city with a population of one million. The whole city looks very Arab.
After staying in Egypt for a few days, Alan Wilson and John took a plane with their assistants and landed at the airport built by the British, officially arriving in this independent city.
At the same time, in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, in the palace of Emperor Haile Selassie I, a white man in a suit was communicating with His Majesty the Emperor, "I and many gentlemen believe that with His Majesty the Emperor in
African influence should have a say in the situation in Sudan."
