Chapter 1041 Wait and see what happens

As the deputy secretary of state of the United States, Smith is a respected person wherever he goes, being pointed at and scolded has never happened, all of a sudden being sprayed with saliva by Allen Wilson, immediately said angrily, “No matter what you colonial countries think, the colonial era is over.”

“Before the Berlin Conference in 1884, the United States was the first country to recognize Belgium’s sovereignty over the Congo, what kind of moral model are you pretending from here, what? Am I wrong?”

Alan Wilson grumbled loudly and asked back, “Aren’t you the Under Secretary of State? Go back and ask if it’s true, an undersecretary of state is so overbearing, if you are the secretary of state, the United States will not rule the solar system?”

In 1884, seven months before the Berlin Congress, the United States became the first country in the world to recognize King Leopold II of Belgium’s territorial claim to the Congo Basin.

The United States was far from being responsible for the partition of Africa, as it claimed, and isn’t there a saying, equal benefit, and all benefits are equal, and who would believe it when it says it had nothing to do with colonialism?

The Berlin Conference had fifteen participating countries, not all of them were involved in the partition of Africa, but it does not mean that other countries that did not partition Africa do not have interests in Africa, the United States is a seemingly unrelated beneficiary.

The Congo’s natural resources are extremely strategic. It was during the colonial period that the U.S. used uranium from Congolese mines to create the first atomic bombs.

Allen Wilson and Smith, representing Britain and the United States respectively, quarreled directly on Congo’s Independence Day.

But this time did not last too long, after spraying saliva, Allen Wilson left directly, not to give Smith the opportunity to play on the subject.

He now wants to talk to Grace about the land south of Lubumbashi, the Congo is independent, how to profit has been urgent, although this time the Belgian Congo independence, Britain, the United States and France plus the Belgian Congo’s suzerainty of Belgium are involved, but four countries are four countries, the interests of which can not be exactly the same.

Especially now, Britain and the United States are still wrestling over the Iranian oil crisis stall, the United States wants to establish a pro-Western government, regardless of other.

France wants to keep its traditional French-speaking influence, Belgium wants to keep its special interest relationship with the Congo, and the UK doesn’t seem to have much of a claim, but it does now, which is to incorporate the south-east of the Congo, which is the most mineral-rich part of the country, into the colony of Northern Rhodesia.

With a leader like Lumumba who hates the Belgians and wants them to get the hell out of the way, the Congo likewise has an advocate for maintaining a close relationship with Belgium, and that person is Moise Tshombe, a pro-Belgian leader in the Congo’s most resource-rich province of Katanga, Moise Tshombe.

There are three different political parties in the Congo today, and the government is formed by a coalition of parties.

There are three main forces: first, nationalist parties such as the Abaco Party, the National Movement Party (Mouvement National), the African Solidarity Party (PAS), the African Solidarity Center (CAC), etc. The first are nationalist parties such as the Abaco Party, the National Movement Party, the African Solidarity Party, the African Solidarity Center, etc.; the second are pro-Belgian parties such as the Katanga Confederation of Tribes Party (CCTP), led by Moise Tshombe; and the third are the feudal forces of the two hundred and fifty tribes.

These parties have different views and are deeply divided over the institutions of the state. Lumumba, the leader of the Mouvement Nationaliste (MN) party, advocated the establishment of a centralized state and external neutrality; Kasavubu, the leader of the Abaco party, and others advocated “federalism” based on provincial autonomy; and Moise Tshombe advocated the establishment of a Belgian-Inter-Congolese community.

There is no doubt that Lumumba is one of the largest supporters, and Katanga Province, Moise Tshombe supporters of the idea is also very simple, the local area is the Congo’s richest mineral place, do not want to let the poor pussy of Kinshasa to take advantage of their own, the eyes of the local people of Kinshasa, and the latter-day Saudi Arabia in the eyes of the Egyptian similar, what the Arab countries, cultural centers, the first power in the Arab world, to say that so much is the lack of money.

Lubumbashi has been greedy Grace, almost inch by inch behind Allen Wilson, Belgian Congo is now considered independent, the promise should be honored, right?

Allen Wilson also wanted to honor the promise right away, but first of all it should be Grace honoring the promise, not himself first.

“Grace, you first do not rush, now there are involved in the country there are Britain, France and the United States and Belgium. How things evolve will have to wait and see.” Alan Wilson signaled to be at ease, “Politics this kind of thing, which is like fighting a war where a decision is made today and the war starts tomorrow, and the war is not so painful, right? There are secessionist organizations operating in Katanga province and have good relations with the Belgians, if you let the Belgians and the French choose, they will surely support Moise Okobo as a priority, once the United States finds out that Lumumba is not trustworthy, they may also take this option.”

“Moise Chomber? That dead-eyed nigger?” Grace looked disdainful, Katanga Province was right next to Northern Rhodesia, and while he had never met the man, he had seen pictures, “If I can’t, I’ll send someone to kill him.”

“Hey, don’t think so simple. There is a saying in the East, the mantis catches the cicada and the yellow bird is at the back. Whether or not the current stage can pry the situation after the independence of the Congo, the key point is in this long dead fish eye nigger …… for the benefit of this nation’s independence leader.”

Alan Wilson said with a salty smile, “You only have a chance if he makes a scene. Otherwise, let Lumumba really get an independent and autonomous Congo, can you send people to seize Katanga Province? Even if you’ve had war experience, how many of you are there? The Congo has 15 million people. How many of you are there, 500,000 or 600,000? How can you have a chance if the Congo is not divided internally, so the timing of your move is very important.”

Do not think that being white is how it is, do not listen to persuasion must be hard on the group, Alan Wilson mind is not without, not to mention that France has been in Algeria to insist on, the south of Northern Rhodesia, the Rhodesian colony is the absolute disadvantage of the population and the blacks went to war, and eventually fell into a chicken feather.

The independence of Rhodesia was the decision that Britain was going to hand over power to the blacks, causing resentment among the local whites.

You can’t blame Britain for this, the existence of a small group of local whites was not worth the offense of Britain against the whole of Africa. Anyone else as British Prime Minister would have been able to make this one-way choice question.

What’s wrong with white people? It’s the same language and race when it’s needed, but when it’s not, which one of you, please?

The top echelons of British politics have stated in many public occasions that Britain would hand over colonial power to a regime comprising a majority of the local population, but then have failed to work out a workable program on the specific details of the transfer of power.

In this way, the white ethnic group in Southern Rhodesia was the first to express its dissatisfaction, for although they were a minority, they held the local power, and the local black ethnic group was given an empty promise but not any actual rights.

In the midst of such strife, the white government represented by Ian Smith issued a Unilateral Declaration of Independence, declaring independence from Britain.

“Once the central governments of Katanga Province and Lumumba enter into hostilities, your opportunity will come.” Alan Wilson said with a thoughtful face, “I estimate that a few months will be enough time, now there is only one question, when it really comes time to go out and forcefully rob the country, do you have enough military power to do it? And don’t expect to swallow Katanga province in one bite, the area there is not much smaller than Northern Rhodesia, even if it is not densely populated, it is estimated to be far more than your population.”

“This isn’t 1945, countries are too busy fixing the aftermath of the war to keep an eye on Africa. If you’re thinking of replicating the operation that cleared Northern Rhodesia of blacks in the first place, it’s not going to happen.”

Alan Wilson had a genuine attitude; when he was trying to help, that was never really helping.

Lip service was something he didn’t do, and really because of that, his friends had a pretty good opinion of him, like McCarthy for example.

Since he decided to help Grace, Allen Wilson naturally just put himself in his place to help, never perfunctory.

The most important thing between people is trust, and after some drawback analysis, Grace also deeply agreed.

“Somalia’s trusteeship time is coming up, I’m going to make a trip soon, I should be in time.” Alan Wilson made a marginal remark that had nothing to do with the situation in the Congo.

“I will never let him leave Somalia alive, just leave everything to me.” Grace patted his chest to make a solemn guarantee, the new Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs, absolutely can not escape the fate of the head open.

Alan Wilson nodded his head, “After I’m busy with Somalia, I’ll go directly to Northern Rhodesia to help you.”

The time to show trust between people has arrived, and Ingrid Bergman is sympathetic to Allen Wilson’s desire for freedom, although the consequence is having two lovely daughters.

By the time the shift was over, Hedy Lamarr was waiting in Somalia, and Ingrid Bergman was dutifully securing the logistics.

“There may be a change in the situation in the Congo, and you’ll be ready to leave immediately as well.” Allen Wilson, after the luxury car test drive, issued a travel warning to the female president.

Before she left, Allen Wilson did two other things, vented her frustration with the United States via a telegram in which she expressed her thoughts on the overthrow of the Lumumba government, hinting that planning was underway, and which was destined for South Africa, and was received by Donald Maclean, one of the Cambridge Five.

Simultaneously carried out was the purchase, through the offshore centers of British Newfoundland, of the pages of influential American newspapers touting the efforts of the United States in supporting Lumumba’s liberation from colonization.

The crimes of the Belgian colonization of the Congo had to be reported, such as the cutting off of hands to develop Belgium, and the Belgian Human Zoo.

Truly more than cruel Britain is far from being ranked among the colonial powers, and it would take a country like Belgium, where the villain is rich at first sight, to qualify as a colonial standard-bearer.

Just two years ago in 1958, Brussels, Belgium, the Universal Exhibition, and in this exposition also exhibited the world’s last “human zoo”, tourists to their eyes, “animal” food moments, so that the photographer will be this scene recorded! This scene was recorded by a photographer and caused a great sensation at that time.
