"White people's lives are also lives. In fact, I don't need to say it. Everyone knows that there are white immigrants who have settled in all major colonies. In Africa, the French immigrant group is the largest in Algeria, and the rest are more or less there.
"
Alan Wilson looked at the Belgian diplomat, "I believe this issue will also give Belgium a headache. If we adopt a resolute repressive attitude, we will have to confront the Soviet Union while deploying troops to form an expeditionary force. This depends on whether the Americans are
Willingness to safeguard everyone's interests, the last point is still unknown, what does Mr. Aland think?"
Alan Wilson, who was named by Alan Wilson, sighed heavily, "Isn't it obvious? The difference between the Americans and the Soviets in the colonies is just a matter of words."
"The French government knows this best." Alan Wilson did not mean to ridicule, but his tone was not too far off. "Europe was severely damaged after the war. Any single country has no relationship with the United States or the Soviet Union on colonial issues.
A confrontation is destined to end, so we must cooperate, which is also a major purpose of the establishment of the European Community."
This was not directed at any country represented by the diplomats present, but all. Diplomats from Spain, Portugal, Belgium and the Netherlands also nodded in approval.
"The United Kingdom has been trying its best to assist its allies to stabilize the situation, but it also has to consider how to deal with the deterioration of the situation. Once the Belgian Congo has to become independent under external pressure, what should we do if the repressive method does not work? This is also a huge problem, and many
The immigrants are all here. Similar problems also exist in the British colonies, such as Rhodesia."
This is not a problem faced by one country. This problem is spread throughout Africa. For this reason, France has fought hard in Algeria, which has the most say on this issue.
The problem is that France itself is in the middle of a war and cannot assist Belgium in its repressive actions. Supporting the Algerian war has already made France very difficult. As for the United Kingdom, what the United Kingdom can do is its navy, which is comparable to the Congo? Let's launch the battleships.
Entering the Congo River?
France is trapped in the war, and Britain does not rely on its army strength. How can it let Portugal and Spain help Belgium? Spain has finally returned to the international community, and now it is time to bow its head and behave like a human being.
As for Portugal and the Netherlands, the populations of these two countries are at the same level as Belgium. The remaining colonies in their hands are still very large. It is difficult to control their own colonies. How can they have this spare power?
"What Mr. Wilson said makes sense." Alande also had to admit that no country could help.
"So we can't solve all the problems. We are willing to take care of the local immigrants, but the local immigrants must work hard on their own." Alan Wilson knocked on the table and said solemnly, "At that point, partition may not be possible.
There is no other way. Let me put it bluntly: once the Belgian Congo becomes independent, I hope that this newly independent country will not have the ability to influence the surrounding situation."
"At the same time, in order to protect the interests of white immigrants and prevent social problems caused by a large number of immigrants returning to the country, it is absolutely feasible to respond with the divide and conquer method based on the examples practiced in the UK in recent years."
"India and Pakistan fought a war after partition." Alander retorted, looking at Alan Wilson.
"At least they killed each other and did not disturb the peace of other countries." Alan Wilson said calmly, "Mr. Casias, Portugal and Pakistan have a very good relationship. Is there any influence from Goa in it?"
"Mr. Wilson, if I say no, I would be lying." Casias smiled and said, "Goa's stability also relies on the strong support of the United Kingdom. Portugal and the United Kingdom have a common interest in this."
"Everyone benefits from cooperation, and the same is true for issues in Africa as a whole. The UK certainly hopes that Belgium can survive this crisis and successfully suppress the voice of resistance. If not, it will have to consider future problems."
Alan Wilson spread his hands and said in a forced tone, "Don't underestimate this problem. If you look at the black movement in the United States today, you will know that this problem is very serious. It is only hindered by the United States' current support for the cause of freedom in Europe."
Support, we are embarrassed to say it directly, if the black population continues to grow like this, there may be big problems in the United States in 40 or 50 years."
Now Martin Luther King has become a phenomenon in the United States. Last year, Martin Luther King invited 115 southern black leaders to meet in Montgomery to establish the Southern Christian Leadership Association. Martin Luther King was elected as the chairman.
.
Nowadays, the black movement is no longer a trivial matter. Those present here are all diplomats from various countries. They all know very well what is happening in the United States. It is definitely not Alan Wilson who is alarmist.
"France still supports Belgium's tough response. The situation is not too bad. It is still too early to talk about how to retreat in a more honorable manner." Alander pondered for a moment and also tried to win the recognition of other countries. "African issues are not
If it is limited to a certain country, the motherland of the diplomats here is shared by everyone. Once the first domino falls, it may have a chain reaction."
Alan Wilson couldn't help but sigh that the French actually applied the domino theory to colonial issues, and the Americans didn't ask the French for copyright. It was obviously the United States first. However, this theory can indeed be applied to any issue.
"The UK is not against strong suppression, but just pointed out the common difficulties faced by all countries. Belgium can implement two sets of preparations at the same time. If strong suppression is successful, there is no need to consider how to retreat. When it is absolutely necessary, Northern Rhodesia can be asked to help
, the local area can provide asylum to Belgian immigrants.”
Belgian diplomat Stalit nodded and thanked Alan Wilson and Alander, "The Kingdom of Belgium is very grateful to Britain and France for their support on the Belgian Congo issue. As long as Britain and France have this attitude, Belgium is willing to do so."
Try hard, and if you fail in the end, you may need help from the UK."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Britain can still provide asylum to Belgian immigrants from the Congo." Alan Wilson promised gently, "Our British attitude is consistent. We not only hope that the Belgian colonies
I also hope that the territories of all countries here can be stable. After all, the problems are common, and some of the frictions in the past are in the past."
Speaking of this, Alan Wilson paused, looked at Alander and said sincerely, "Mr. Alander, in a sense, the outcome of the Algerian war will determine the future pattern of Africa. Whether Europe will have a chance to recover in the future?
It all depends on whether France can solve the Algerian problem."
At critical moments, France still needs to be given a high hat. The French are actually quite happy to accept this role.
Who makes these French people think so highly of themselves? However, because of problems in the Belgian colonies, the plan did not change quickly, and the executor had to be changed for an issue that had been decided before.
Regarding the fish rights market issue that Iceland has been active in, Portugal was originally supposed to oppose it. However, now that Belgium is expecting support from the European Community, it is more appropriate for Belgium to be the villain.
Britain and France simultaneously came up with two plans for Belgium to implement, and were willing to provide corresponding support. This kind of thing is so shady, how could the media people who are eagerly waiting for it know about it?
French newspapers focused on France's key leadership role in leading the European Common Market. British newspapers did the opposite, siding with Foreign Secretary Harold Wilson and slamming de Gaulle's government for its policy of devaluing the franc, which undermined the financial stability of European countries.
The main purpose of Harold Wilson's visit to Brussels this time was to take advantage of the chaos caused by the depreciation of the franc to advertise Britain's financial financing capabilities. He should actually be the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
In fact, even Harold Wilson himself thought so, but who said that his qualifications in the Labor Party were not as high as Gatesker's?
After each completed their work, Alan Wilson met with the Foreign Secretary, and the two exchanged views on the affairs they were responsible for.
"I strongly criticized the de Gaulle government's franc devaluation policy and won the support of the European Community countries." Harold Wilson praised himself happily, "What about you, Alan."
"I refuted France's proposal that Belgium should be resolutely suppressed, and advocated the use of partition to deal with the crisis and seek a decent result." Alan Wilson said this and looked at the Foreign Secretary, revealing an unspoken statement.
smile.
"Haha..." Happiness is contagious, and the two leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs laughed out loud in unison.
The staff not far away paid attention and saluted, finally allowing the British Foreign Secretary and the Permanent Under Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to regain their gentlemanly demeanor.
"Alan, do you have any plans next?" Harold Wilson was walking side by side with his deputy director. Hearing that Alan Wilson was going to Kuala Lumpur, he asked this question.
"Oh, it goes without saying that the importance of Malaya and the Straits Settlements to the British Empire is natural. The oil refining center has been established. I also want first-hand information. After all, this is a precious asset of the British Empire." Alan Wilson expressed.
It is the spirit of serving the country and the people. By the way, I mentioned the bidding for oil refining equipment in a large country. If you don't pay attention to it, it may not be easy to operate.
Harold Wilson understood instantly and lowered his voice, saying, "After all, this is a major matter. If it is really disclosed, it may cause misunderstandings among allies in the free world."
"Of course we cannot allow misunderstandings to arise, so there is no need for Washington to know." Alan Wilson made a solemn assurance, "Xiangjiang is a good transit point and we are fully prepared for this."
"If you pay attention personally, I believe the result will be satisfactory." Harold Wilson looked at the scenery not far away, "What a beautiful day."
