"That's what you say, but?" John hesitated, and spoke with a look of embarrassment, "It's not easy, isn't it?"
If it could shrink so easily, America wouldn't be a mess in a few decades.
As long as there is a little room to fight for, who will give away the territory that has invested time and energy?
"But we must prevent the sequelae of colonization from appearing in our own country. The people in India are special cases. I believe no one will compare Tata, Bilal, and Maharaja Ali Khan with ordinary people." Alan Wilson sighed.
He said, "There are still many colonies at the moment. Thousands and tens of thousands of them were retreated at one time, and I don't know how many eventually returned to the mainland. At present, the independence of Sudan is the beginning of the independence of the British colonies in Africa. We provide an example.
Once the agreement is established, future colonial independence will be handled in accordance with the current standards."
"That's right. It doesn't seem like a big problem now, but within the framework of the entire colony, it becomes very big." John's face changed slightly, and he felt shuddering when he thought about the future where the native land would be filled with alien races.
As Alan Wilson said, this is just a Sudan, but in the hands of Britain in Africa, it is not just a Sudan.
Even if they live up to the grand occasion of traveling from Cairo to Cape Town in the past, the number of expatriates currently living in the colonies is still quite large.
Even if Britain no longer pursues its colonial rule and really withdraws, this will be a long process. If it had not been for the original unified action in South Asia, it might have lasted for decades.
At that time, neither of them might be able to take care of each other, so it was imperative to provide an example for dealing with a group that married locals. This also provided a step-by-step example for other colonial commissioners.
This is of course not easy. Together with the garrison and the expatriates in Khartoum, it is not that difficult. What is difficult is how to deal with these people and the descendants of the colonial union.
This is where John found it tricky. He looked at Alan Wilson, who was also the colonial commissioner, and asked, "What would you do if something similar happened in Malaya?"
"What's happening now is in Sudan, not Malaya, my friend." Alan Wilson corrected his long-time friend, "We need to let the independent representatives of Sudan take the initiative to raise this matter to reduce our inhumane moral burden.
.Since they want to fight for independence, I believe making such a commitment will not be a problem."
Although Alan Wilson planned to let the British soldiers in the colonies abandon their wives and children, he could not bring the descendants of the locals back to Britain.
But this kind of thing was quite offending, and he didn't want to do it regardless of the risks. It was best if the Sudanese took the initiative.
If John had known the saying "No leaf among thousands of flowers can touch you," he would definitely use it to describe his co-worker's thieves.
Obviously he wanted to cut off the products of some expatriates who couldn't control their pants, but the Sultan had to take the initiative.
This is of course. Isn’t the new government after independence prepared to show some fraternity?
As long as the Sudanese people brought it up, Alan Wilson would not be polite at all and would directly agree to it in order to respect the feelings of the Sudanese people and allow the British illegitimate son to stay in Sudan and shine for this new country.
This is also for the benefit of these marginalized groups. Although there are Indian communities in the UK, their numbers are not large. To put it bluntly, they were all issued residence permits by Alan Wilson himself, with an average asset of one million pounds per capita.
The London government welcomes such people, and London citizens will not resent them. Alan Wilson was generous just once, and this kind of thing will never happen again in the future.
From this point of view, he is indeed an old friend of the Indian people and has given India special treatment.
Now times have changed, and the situation in Sudan is different from that in India. The key is that Sudan is a country in Africa. If we generously take back all the people, what will happen to African colonies in the future when they become independent? Bringing back a group of black people? It’s uncomfortable to think about it.
It doesn't matter if black and green occupy the same position. If they occupy both, the servant of the empire will not be able to pass the test in his heart.
He has always respected the culture of the Peace Sect, which was the most successful in the agricultural era, especially the characteristics that are extremely difficult to assimilate. China and India are just for fun, and they are nothing compared to the expansion speed of the Peace Sect.
It is really a joke to think that the three major religions emerged last and expanded the fastest. Before the great voyage, the Christian world was surrounded.
After discussing it, the two immediately took action separately to liquidate the British colonial Sudan. There should be not many families left with colonial people. If it was a French colony, there would be no need to check. Latins are famous for their inability to control their crotch.
.
The world does not revolve around an imperial commissioner while he is busy wrapping up the British Empire in Sudan.
Events with far-reaching consequences are also happening around the world. Although the United States has not forgotten to criticize the establishment of the Warsaw Pact, Eisenhower did not focus all his energy on confrontation.
Although he was a military president, he launched major infrastructure projects in the United States. He used the reputation accumulated during World War II to promote the strategic highway plan in the United States. Where the huge construction funds came from became the key to the problem.
Against all odds, Eisenhower prescribed a package of federal fiscal investment, increased employment, increased income, and higher taxes to treat deflation.
After settling the objections of all parties, this large-scale infrastructure project, which has served until the 21st century, was officially launched in 1955. The long-term investment is expected to be as high as 100 billion U.S. dollars, accounting for the total economic output of the United States today.
a quarter of.
A telegram from Kuala Lumpur arrived in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan. The news came from South Vietnam. Diem had launched a referendum. The situation was very unfavorable to Emperor Bao Dai.
As a card that has been used by the French, Bao Dai is obviously not easy for the Americans to use. They still hope that Diem, who is more closely related to the United States, can control this bridgehead against the pro-Soviet forces moving south.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! This telegram from Alyssa was due to the inquiry from Emperor Bao Dadi. Once the referendum result is unfavorable to him, whether the original promise is valid. This promise is of course Alan Wilson.
In the eyes of the Chinese people in Malaya, the Master of Zhongtang made it.
Alan Wilson, who received the telegram, immediately called back to Alyssa. Of course, the previous promise was valid, which reassured Emperor Bao.
Keeping in touch with his wife, there is no need to send telegrams to Kuala Lumpur. Pamela Mountbatten has returned to the UK. It is not because the women's movement is fighting, but there is good news about North Sea oil. If other oil resources are discovered, the interests are still being
If British oil companies get it, the discovery of North Sea oil will bring even greater benefits to Britain.
You must know that during the first oil crisis, the United Kingdom relied on the output of North Sea oil and maintained good economic development when Europe was devastated. Otherwise, as early as during the oil crisis, the British economy was also destroyed by Italy.
If you surpass it, you will become the fourth best in Europe.
With its own oil resources in hand, Britain will be more able to deal with the situation in the Middle East.
The news that Britain had discovered oil in the North Sea brought an unexpected consequence. The French government's attitude towards Algeria became increasingly tough. The French expeditionary force that boarded the ship at Toulon Port, with the expectations of the French government and the French military's belief in revenge, once again
Embark on a journey.
Almost every day, new troop transport ships appear in the Mediterranean. From the perspective of the French, Vietnam is thousands of miles away after all. And Algeria is only separated by the Mediterranean Sea, so it is definitely not a problem.
The major newspapers in France advocated in a very radical tone, "Algeria is a natural extension of French territory to the south, and we will never abandon our Algerian brothers."
At this moment, the support of the other side of the Anglo-French alliance is indispensable. Pamela Mountbatten returned to London and let the media power in her hands join in. The slogan went one step further, "There are no Algerians, only Gobi French."
She has been corresponding with her husband and believes in Alan Wilson's words, "Someone must do the strong suppression. Our French friends are willing to do this, so we should adopt an encouraging attitude, and then secretly take advantage of the fact that the attention is not on us.
Do the things at hand well."
After receiving the order to divert the disaster to the east, the instigator, Pamela Mountbatten, went directly to talk to people from BP.
Because the North Sea also involves the Netherlands, the negotiating partner is also the Anglo-Dutch Shell Oil Company.
Pamela Mountbatten is a newcomer in the oil field and may have less experience than these established oil companies.
But with the words and deeds of Alan Wilson, Pamela Mountbatten understood the importance of Brent crude oil, otherwise she would not have set out directly to come back and meet with the relevant oil giants.
In fact, the discovery of Brent crude oil not only shocked these oil giants. It was also shocked by the British government. Now, no country has any doubt about the importance of oil.
Modern society is inseparable from this kind of fuel, but the place where oil has been produced for a long time is the Persian Gulf. European countries are extremely dependent on the oil of the Persian Gulf. This hidden danger is not invisible to the governments of various countries, but there is really no way to do it.
In the previous conflict with Iran, Britain relied on its garrison in the Persian Gulf and the influence of the world empire to fight with the Iranian government for a long time, but eventually gave up the unequal distribution agreement and made peace with Tehran.
There was also overt and covert pressure from the United States and the Soviet Union. Britain had to pay attention to its appearance and could not be as unreasonable as it was before the war.
Although it was nothing on the surface, and the confrontation with Iran achieved decent results, the incident still made London wary and worried about its oil dependence on the Persian Gulf.
Now, it seems that the Labor government can rest assured for the time being. If it is a large oil field, it will undoubtedly meet the great needs of the UK and get rid of the situation of being controlled by others.
