Chapter 829 Colonial Division of Labor

If an old colleague is interested in the position of Persian Gulf Commissioner, he will feel it is his duty to help. Everyone can see the influence of the Persian Gulf and its importance to the UK.

The Persian Gulf Commissioner is based in Aden and has to take care of the Suez Canal issue. Of course, Alan Wilson prefers that having a familiar and reliable colleague there makes communication easier.

It will take some time for the plane to take off. The main reason is that Alan Wilson is so popular that he needs to take away the gifts from his trip to Sudan. He can't refuse people who are kind to him thousands of miles away.

During this time, the two had some exchanges about the possible impact of Sudan's independence on the situation in Africa.

John shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The French are very dissatisfied now and feel that Britain is irresponsible in allowing Sudan to become independent. I have received hints from many French African officials."

"There are really not many solutions to Sudan's problem. This is not just a Sudan problem. What's special about Sudan is that there are also Egyptian factors involved." Alan Wilson spread his hands and said that he had nothing to do. If Egypt were like Algeria,

There are millions of British immigrants who can serve as internal agents, and the probability of the British taking action is no less than that of the French.

But none of the colonies currently in British hands has the foundation of Algeria. Even the stability of Malaya needs the help of Australia and New Zealand within the framework of the Commonwealth.

"Emphasis on the special nature of Sudan, indicating that the United Kingdom will not allow African territories to continue to be independent in the short term. However, we also have our demands, hinting to the French that the victory or failure of the Algerian War will determine the future choices of the two countries, not

The French family." Alan Wilson squinted his eyes and said to his old colleague, "I believe that as fellow colonists, the French must understand our underlying meaning."

"Oh my god, you're really afraid that the French won't be ruthless enough." John grinned after hearing this. This was a clear attempt to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

"They can do it better than us. We should cherish France's attitude at this stage." Alan Wilson chuckled, and then sighed, "There is no one else here. If I tell the truth, our situation is worse than that of the French."

It's a bit more difficult. Even now, the scale that Britain has spread out is much larger than that of France, and shrinking it is more difficult than that of the French."

Does France still have interests in the Far East now? The three countries of Indochina have become independent, and French power has declined from the Far East.

But Xiangjiang and Malaya are not yet independent, and Britain must continue to invest in the Far East.

Does France have any influence in the Persian Gulf? Not at all, but basically none. But the UK does, and the UK also has a bunch of protectorates in the Persian Gulf, which are small in area but of great value.

Even in Africa, even if Sudan has become independent, the British market is not even a little smaller than that of France.

Although France was the second-largest power in the colonial era, it cannot be compared with the British Empire where the sun never sets.

So here comes the problem. France has been able to shrink its tentacles around the world and concentrate on finishing its battle in Algeria. The UK cannot do this, and the UK still needs to continue its policy of orderly withdrawal.

Leaving tentacles that can intervene and focus on operating a few colonies, such as waiting for his flight to Northern Rhodesia, is one of the options.

Not long after, the harvest of the trip to Sudan had been transported. Grace came over with a group of assistants from Northern Rhodesia. Alan Wilson could only say goodbye to his colleagues, "Then our cooperation ends here. Sudan's system

The status of design and sterling is up to you, and we may have opportunities to cooperate in the future."

"It's touching that you can come and help this time." John glanced at Grace and nodded, stretched out his hand to hold it with Alan Wilson and said, "Then, I wish you a happy performance."

"Goodbye." Alan Wilson nodded, waved and boarded the plane. A few minutes later, the Comet took off and disappeared over Juba.

A few hours later, Alan Wilson had arrived in Northern Rhodesia. This was not the first time he came here. This time he also wanted to get agricultural information here and talk about his wife Pamela Mountbatten's grain merchant.

road, and the question of how to achieve a win-win situation with Northern Rhodesia.

Alan Wilson felt that if the Confederate States of America had lived to this day, what would Northern Rhodesia look like? But after thinking about it, it was closer to the Rhodesian model.

These ruthless people who were born in the Balkans, when they first arrived in Northern Rhodesia, they used the massacre of Indians to take advantage of the black people in one fell swoop. What is more rare is their courage than their sophistication in operation.

The situation now is obvious. The ruthless actions at that time have eliminated the possibility of black people making a comeback.

Alan Wilson feels that the Slavs living in Northern Rhodesia now live very close to a collection of armed farmers.

Northern Rhodesia already has the ability to manufacture light weapons, and minefields are set up on the east and west borders. If it were not for railways and animal migration, it is estimated that Northern Rhodesia could be surrounded by minefields.

Mikhailovich is still alive, but he has indeed entered old age and is not as strong as when they first met, but his health is still good. It is obvious that he is quite satisfied with the life in Northern Rhodesia.

"In fact, after several years of observation, we have closed the gap in the north during the migration of animals. The migration of animals in East Africa has only affected a small area in the northeast of Northern Rhodesia. Those animals have returned

I won’t come.” Mihajlovic said happily, “The barbed wire fence and the minefield, this kind of layout for a battle, make me feel very safe.”

"It seems that you are almost semi-closed and living behind closed doors. However, at the border between Italy and Yugoslavia, you continue to encourage Yugoslavs to flee, which has led to the delay in repairing the relationship between Britain and Yugoslavia." Alan Wilson

He said with a bitter look, "How can we compensate for the losses caused by this?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Isn't it enough that Northern Rhodesia does not pursue independence? Hasn't Newfoundland been transformed into a royal territory? We are not against the monarchy, and we can

Do this." Mikhailovich solemnly promised, "I heard from Grace that Sudan has entered the track of independence, but I don't believe that Britain seems to show that it doesn't care."

How could you not care? Wait for the next Sudan, then wait! Alan Wilson secretly cursed, turning to look at the endless farmland, "I can still help with the development of Northern Rhodesia. In fact, the route of becoming an agricultural power,

It is a good choice for Northern Rhodesia, which has a small population. The UK relies on Spain for many of its fruit and vegetable supplies. As you know, the UK's climate can handle growing food, but there are too many other things to think about.

"

"I'm willing to hear what the commissioner has to say? But I still remember the scene at the beach. I never thought in my life that I would be able to one day lead hundreds of thousands of followers, just like pigs about to be put on the shelves." Miha

Ilovic paused for a moment before saying, "I have no other intention, I just want to show that both parties understand each other."

Mikhailovich knew the Zhou Papi style of the person in front of him, and in his eyes, Zhou Papi was not timid at all. Both sides had leverage in the other's hands, so it was very equal.

In terms of altitude, most of Northern Rhodesia is a plateau, but plateaus are different from plateaus. The plateau of Northern Rhodesia is just a high altitude, but the agricultural conditions are quite good, not like the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Northern Rhodesia has many rivers, vast forests, rich hydropower and forestry resources. Hydropower accounts for 99% of the total power generation, and the forest coverage rate is 70%. At the junction of Northern Rhodesia and Rhodesia

Here, there is the world-famous Victoria Falls, and the forestry distribution is relatively concentrated.

With the current population base of Northern Rhodesia and more than 700,000 square kilometers of land, Mikhailovich and the others simply cannot develop them all. But even so, these Balkan version of the fish that have slipped through the net are not prepared to take advantage of black people.

Use minefields and barbed wire to seal off land that cannot be developed to prevent loopholes from being exploited.

There is no doubt that Alan Wilson once again stood in the position of aiding the evildoers. To make the journey of the Mountbatten Group grain merchants through the initial stage smoother, Northern Rhodesia needed to realize its agricultural potential.

"The headquarters of the Mountbatten Agricultural Group can be set up in Lusaka. What do you think?" Alan Wilson suggested, "The market exists objectively, for the sake of reliability. Britain needs a colony like Northern Rhodesia.

Take responsibility in the agricultural sector."

"Sounds good!" Mikhailovich took a sip of black tea, and unknowingly he began to have some British habits.

"The most important thing is standardization, and agriculture and animal husbandry also need standardization." Alan Wilson looked sincere, and his heart was equally sincere, showing his sincerity in cooperation.

Standardized agriculture will defeat small farmers. This does not only occur in grains with huge output. It can also occur in market segments.

Take tea as an example. Everyone knows that China is the hometown of tea, but the largest tea in the world is Lipton Company.

Lipton's tea may not be as good as China's top tea, but so what? The quality of tea at the same price is definitely not as good as Lipton's products. As for the tea that can beat Lipton, the price is shockingly high.

Alan Wilson's idea was that Newfoundland would be an offshore financial center, Northern Rhodesia would be agriculture and animal husbandry, British Malaya would mainly develop industry and necessary agriculture, and the British garrison in the Persian Gulf would ensure energy.

The remaining colonial task is to scrape as much territory as possible before independence. This is considered the contraction is completed.

If successful, even if France really turns Algeria into the land of the Gobi French, Britain can still maintain its advantage over France.
