Chapter 1028: The Wave of Independence

For these African countries, life in the post-colonial era? There will be no change in status by and large from when they were colonizers.

There is a saying, “We are simply living in a tragic time, so we do not want to panic and worry. The cataclysm has come, we are in ruins, and we are beginning to build some new little habitats, some new little hopes. It is a rather difficult task. There is no easy road to the future now, but we meander or climb over obstacles. We have to live no matter how the sky turns upside down.”

This quote is an apt description of the situation of the African countries, which for Britain and France at this point needed to set a framework before they left so that the African countries could not truly be independent of the sovereign.

If there is any place in the world in which the United States has little interest, it is Africa.

Whether it was during or after the Cold War, the United States could have established a strong influence in Africa if it wanted to.

But the United States has never done so, the strategic arrangement of Africa are all passive reaction, otherwise it would not be France’s turn to dominate, and will not let China in Africa later on.

But now that we know this trait, Allen Wilson is confident to make some arrangement in Africa.

Now you can be sure of one thing, a big country will also find the weak link of imperialism in Africa, once the wave of independence in Africa, will enter Africa in a big way, although there is no specific data, but Alan Wilson can estimate that the currency of the free world, the British pound should be a big country with the most reserves of currency.

With a reserve of pounds in hand, it might then choose British Africa as the object of intervention.

In fact, this can increase the circulation of the pound, Allen Wilson should not be stopped, then Chang Gong that group of people is very annoying, the extension of the American forces, no positive effect on the United Kingdom, was cleaned up is also logical.

Watching Allen Wilson busy before and after, Hedy Lamarr eyes rich love can not be dissolved, this man’s any idea, will affect a few hundred thousand square kilometers, ten million people whether the country will be established.

Allen Wilson this side put down the telegraph, he saw Hedy Lamarr tender eyes, make a fearful expression patting his chest, it is really unbearable, or not how to act what the movie is an expression of Hedy Lamarr, to the United States directly changed the United States blonde youtuber aesthetic standards it.

“What’s wrong?” Hedy Lamarr confusedly inquired, how the other party so a reaction.

“When you were in Hollywood back then, all the men in America loved you, right?” Alan Wilson inquired with a sense of accomplishment.

“Pretty much.” Hedy Lamarr was rather self-satisfied, but spiraled a little lost, “Not necessarily now, I’m not young now, but the good thing is that there’s still a nice homecoming.”

Nice homecoming felt that this was a very high rating, to be able to get such a rating as the number one vase of all time, he was already satisfied.

In the coming period of time, he was going to make a good layout in Africa, adding to the cause of Africa’s independence.

Cameroon’s capital is a landlocked city, Allen Wilson travel to the local inconvenience, but fortunately, modern society, the telegraph can be remote control, so that the French know the British views on the independence of Cameroon.

Independent countries have certain contradictions that will allow the sovereign state to exert a certain amount of leverage, something that France, as a colonial power, would surely understand and naturally know what to do.

Soon the French called back, expressing a heroic view, and as Britain and France were moving forward with Cameroon’s independence, Grace once again followed the trail to the door.

It was Hedy Lamarr who answered the door, and Grace greeted him with a friendly smile, “Mrs. Hedy, it is you and Sir again who have come to Africa, and it is enviable to see how strong your attachment is.”

“Don’t talk nonsense, we are just friends.” Heidi Rama made a big red face, her impression of Grace changed greatly, and defended with her mouth that the two of them were not in that kind of relationship.

Grace smiled, he felt that the friendship in Hedy Lamarr’s mouth must have been deeply understood.

“Sir Wilson, why didn’t you say anything when you came to Africa, or did I get the news to make a special trip over.” Grace was very self-conscious after entering the door, expressing the loss of mutual affection without a notice.

“Not to see you busy shipping drugs to the United States busy.” Alan Wilson helplessly replied, “That kind of industry is still somewhat useful for groups with small populations, but it can never be used as a pillar industry in Northern Rhodesia.”

“There’s actually nothing wrong with it, there are times when this issue has to be divided into how to look at it. Our transoceanic drug business is quite lucrative, but we actually have some goodwill towards the native Africans, and the drugs we give to the black tribes are almost always unprofitable.” Gress said with the tone of an old opium trader, “This way the blacks get pleasure and we get security press.”

I really don’t know how Gress made drug trafficking sound so noble, but Alan Wilson didn’t want to be corrected and directly inquired, “There must be something wrong with coming to see me or you wouldn’t have come here in person.”

“I heard that Sir is pushing for Cameroon’s independence on behalf of Britain.” Grace saw Allen Wilson nodding with an interested expression, “I wonder how far it’s gotten, we’re concerned about that as well.”

“Our and France’s policies are different after all, some parts are still being discussed.” Alan Wilson slowly replied.

France’s colonization policy was no different from the colonization policies of other Latin countries, all the colonies of Latin countries were based on plundering, not doing any construction at all. Many of the facilities in Cameroon were built by the Germans in the first place.

Britain also generally builds some facilities for local use, and now Allen Wilson also upgraded this kind of construction, and started the new African construction of real estate to build up the country, the purpose is to support up a vested interest class, and in doing so, the resistance is also a little higher in the face of the Soviet Union to infiltrate the country in a big way.

The colonies always need to build some, completely treat the colonies as a raw material supply, in the past there are still merits, now the scientific and technological capabilities have advanced so much, in the colonies as a primitive, will lead to squeeze out not much oil and water.

French Africa’s widespread poverty will eventually let the negative impact of transmission to the French mainland, the colonies are already backward, increase the squeeze is useless, cultivate a certain market is beneficial to the sovereign.

Even if it created a bunch of rotten buildings, it was at least better than the sky as a quilt and the ground as a bed.

“Coffee.” Heidi Rama was inspired by the phrase Mrs. Heidi, to bring out her frugal side, bringing up two cups of coffee out to entertain the guests, “I’ll go back to the bedroom first, so you guys take your time to chat.”

“Thank you ma’am.” Grace picked up the coffee and slurped, “Sir Wilson’s life is really enviable, madam is the most beautiful woman in the world, accompanying you by your side.”

Alan Wilson straightened his waist and accepted Grace’s compliments, waking up to the power of the world, drunkenly lying on a beautiful woman’s knee, was originally a dream that men pursued, but for the evaluation of the most beautiful woman in the world, he still felt that it was too absolute, and put Vivien Leigh, Garbo and Bergman, and other ladies of the same status as their wives, to where?

“Grace, state your purpose, you didn’t come to see me.” Alan Wilson squared his shoulders, not believing that the two sides had gotten on so well, even though he had theoretically saved these people’s lives.

“We’ve spoken to the white settlers in the Belgian Congo and the other side is more than willing to live with Northern Rhodesia.” Grace lowered her voice, “There’s also a lot of ruckus going on in the Belgian Congo right now, so I don’t know when we’ll get what we want.”

“The Belgian Congo, it’s Lumumba who’s leading the independence, isn’t it?” Allen Wilson frowned, “The man is very hostile to us and not enthusiastic about the U.S. Do something from him. A man who is not of one mind with the free world will not be supported by us, even the United States would not choose such a leader to support.”

Grace wants the Katanga province near Northern Rhodesia, Allen Wilson reminded, “The whole Katanga province is too big to swallow by virtue of you, and if you force it to be swallowed you will inevitably take in even the blacks living in that land, and with the population base you have now, you understand very well what the consequences will be.”

“We would be satisfied with just the land south of Lubumbashi and a change in the terrible borders of Northern Rhodesia.” Gelles reiterated his original claim, “We are willing to pay any price as long as that condition can be met.”

“Wow. The reliability of Northern Rhodesia has yet to be proven.” Knowing that this was a good opportunity to guarantee that Northern Rhodesia would remain under British rule, Alan Wilson turned the conversation around and said, “Perhaps we should sign a secret treaty to guarantee a little bit of Northern Rhodesia’s obligation to Britain by having a royal domain first.”

He had now addressed North Rhodesia as a Crown Dependency, it didn’t seem to make much difference, but it was actually a rather drastic change, even Malaya wasn’t a Crown Dependency, the only Crown Dependency in England was Newfoundland.

“What is a secret treaty if Sir Wilson is willing to safeguard the interests of Northern Rhodesia? But Northern Rhodesia’s loyalty is to Her Majesty, and we are the monarch’s champions, and have nothing to do with who the government in London is.”

“That is certainly true.” Alan Wilson raised his wrist to check the time.

The gesture caused Gless to misunderstand, thinking that Sir Wilson was going to take a rocket ride with Lady Heidi and was about to open his mouth to leave.

“I’m in the process of getting Cameroon’s independence secured, and my next stop will be Northern Rhodesia, but there’s no telling, and if the situation in the Congo doesn’t deteriorate too quickly, I might go to Somalia first.” Alan Wilson said as he thought.

More than the independence of the Congo, he had to think carefully about how to maximize the benefits for Britain.

It could even be used to slow down the process of independence for the colony. Lumumba? The leader of the independent Congo seemed to be a pro-Soviet leader.

While Cameroon’s independence process is in full swing in Africa, U.S. Secretary of State Dulles has also arrived in London, ready to talk openly and honestly with Aidan about the recent diplomatic friction between Britain and the United States.
