Chapter 1072 Britain was not under pressure
As early as the independence of Cameroon, Alan Wilson found that the French settlers in Cameroon were not returning to their homeland, but went to Algeria, and at that time he was suspicious.
Africa is a place that may not be generally understood, the European colonial powers, although because of environmental factors deeper into the interior of Africa later, but it is true that the real power of the state to be a bird in a cage, and before the nineteenth century, immigrants to the Americas and Australia, either spontaneous immigrants or the exile of criminals is different.
Africa carved up late, but the number of immigrants rose extremely fast, far more than at the beginning of the colonial era, European immigration to the Americas, Algeria has a million French immigrant communities existed, is one of the most typical examples.
French Africa is spread over half of Africa, each with a certain number of immigrants, and the number of these immigrants may be greater than the number of British immigrants in British Africa, and the strength of French immigration can be seen by realizing that the natural conditions of French Africa are far worse than those of British Africa.
Now that French Africa has become independent a dozen countries a year, if all the former colonial immigrants had been concentrated in Algeria, it would have been a great force. A little more work from the Algerians, such as not notifying the referendum, could have caused this.
“The French still have their way.” Pamela Mountbatten listened to her husband’s explanation and couldn’t help but marvel, “French immigrants throughout French Africa plus the French immigrants that already existed in Algeria are quite a force indeed.”
“Lock up another batch of Algerians and there’s such a six to four ratio that it’s fair to say the French are honest.” Alan Wilson shrugged, “In my place, one hundred percent in favor of non-independence I’d dare to do.”
“It’s a pity we don’t have a group in Malaya we can rely on.” Pamela Mountbatten was a little worried, she could have put a lot of industry in Malaya, just afraid that something would happen in that place.
“Don’t worry about Malaya.” Alan Wilson was ready to reassure his wife, “I served two terms in Malaya, and while I certainly took a softer approach, that was only on the surface. The Chinese as a group, even the textbooks were compiled by me, and although they are not different from China in general, the nuances are still different.”
To draw an analogy, Genghis Khan was and was not Chinese, and when William II preached the Yellow Peril theory, he was certainly not talking about Mongolian herders grazing on the steppes, but about China back then.
Don’t look at the Japanese is Yuan Qing non-Chinese origin, in talking about the Yuan Dynasty twice attacked Japan, the Japanese never confused, has been violated their own matter of fact when the rhetoric, bite the Yuan Dynasty is China.
When the board doesn’t hit you, you talk the talk, when your own interests are involved, the facts don’t matter, the position is most important.
As long as you can maintain Malaya until the seventies, completely and neighboring gap, Alan Wilson believes that the chances of Malaya’s independence will be greatly reduced, and even a new generation of Malayan subjects, the loyalty of the United Kingdom will have an increase.
At that time, even if someone is inciting is useless, your monthly salary of one thousand, my monthly salary of ten thousand, and then together with the common wealth?
He has now lasted past fifteen years, probably in the maintenance of ten years, in the future, Malaya will not need to worry much, “You will be content to be your Queen of Sarawak, if you feel strange, live in Perth often, anyway, for a world citizen like you, this is not a problem.”
“World citizen?” Pamela Mountbatten wondered, she seemed to be learning new words.
“Whichever country you want to emigrate to, I think that country will welcome you. National boundaries don’t exist for you.” Alan Wilson said with an old-fashioned look, “Isn’t that what world citizenship is? I’m still young, but studying and researching more about biotechnology is the big thing, and for a world citizen, there is nothing else to aspire to other than eternal life.”
“That’s right, dear.” Once again, Pamela Mountbatten was once again convinced that her husband always made so much sense.
“Hungry!” Alan Wilson bothered to half spit, eyeing his wife with Rich Woman, Rice Rice Rice written all over his face ……
After eating, the head of the family held the Three Kingdoms to digest food in passing, if today’s world is also three countries, the United States is the strongest national strength Wei, then the role of Britain is? Wei Wu Wang Sun 100,000? Not wanting to do anything but muck about?
Maybe there really is a part of British citizens who are tired and want to destroy!
But these people do not include him, Alan Wilson although serving in the United Kingdom, which is the nationality can not be changed. But by the education of the proper continental countries education, really want to choose a country from Europe, he prefers and the French have resonance.
Pamela Mountbatten saw her husband’s lazy god possessed appearance is also doubly helpless, proposed, “Why don’t we go out for a walk, Perth aircraft carrier is docked in the harbor, go up for a walk?”
“Good idea!” Alan Wilson nodded, the Perth aircraft carrier was the buy one get one free Glory class aircraft carrier.
Among the new carriers that had been internalized as Queen Victoria class carriers in the current British build sequence was the Australian one, already named HMS Canberra.
Two British carriers previously existed in Australia, HMS Sydney and HMS Melbourne. Thus all three of Australia’s eastern powerhouse cities already had carriers named, and the buy-one-get-one Glory class, which had arrived in Australia, became HMS Perth.
In fact the Western Australian government, at first, was desperately trying to get a heavy aircraft carrier named, Canberra and Perth also had a fight, and finally Canberra still from the strength of the position …… of the capital city of the name, grabbed the naming.
Now the Royal Australian Navy, the simultaneous service existence of four British-made aircraft carriers, proper maritime power, strength ranked after the United States, Britain, the Soviet Union and France, the southern hemisphere, the Gulf of Nambour.
The two men walked leisurely, enjoying the sea breeze of the South Indian Ocean, the skyline of the city of Perth on the beach as far as the eye can see.
What TASS, Agence France-Presse, Associated Press, Reuters report on the referendum in Algeria, what does it matter to them, but it is just the internal affairs of the French on the other side of the globe.
As for the attitude of a certain major power, strictly speaking no one cares at all, until India doesn’t disgrace itself. A certain big country is non-existent even to draw attention to its statements, it says what it likes, and no one cares if it does.
It’s as if the world doesn’t have this country, New Delhi has to make any comments, instead someone reprints them, and that’s all it is, India has the right to make comments, but that’s as far as it goes.
Alan Wilson, who was watching the seascape from the top of the Glory-class aircraft carrier, the very newspaper he was holding in his hand, published India’s position on the Algerian referendum, very much a five-principle statement.
“The importance of discourse is evident!” Alan Wilson remembers, the latter five principles are no one thought of there is India’s share, and at this time India’s position in the international arena a contrast, indeed a great deal of emotion.
Pamela Mountbatten is not dissatisfied with her husband’s lack of understanding, can only accommodate, “India’s position is important?”
“In fact, it is not important.” Alan Wilson put the newspaper into his pocket, pretending to be an environmentalist continued, “but after all, it is a country with a demographic dividend, say what is still worth listening to.”
“Population dividend? What’s the point of being so poor you can’t even afford to wear pants.” Pamela Mountbatten bristled, it wasn’t as if she hadn’t been in India before, and she knew quite a bit about the big, prestigious country.
“That’s what you don’t understand. The demographic dividend is objective, let’s not recall history. Think of the students at the Indian Institute of Technology, those are high achievers competing among hundreds of millions of people.” Alan Wilson disagreed with his wife’s overbearing side, “Think about these high achievers, isn’t it bad to go to Malaya to screw screws, and the average university graduate to go to Malaya to scrub dishes?”
“Screwing? Brush dishes? Thanks for thinking of it.” Pamela Mountbatten couldn’t help but burst out laughing, reaching out and tugging at her husband’s ear, “Too bad for you, Nehru will kill you if he finds out you think that way about their talent.”
“It’s the truth! There is absolutely no bias mixed in. Isn’t that what happens in countries with the so-called demographic dividend.” Alan Wilson replied sincerely, you can’t hire a heavy-duty migrant laborer for three thousand dollars, but you can hire a college student.
Britain and even Malaya are in need of these Indian high achievers to do the ground floor work, like the Middle Eastern emirates need South Asian servants, talk about demeaning or otherwise, it’s just the way it is.
Why else would Federal Germany give visas to Iranian laborers? It’s not that the wages are low and German citizens don’t want to do it?
While he was in Australia with his wife and children, enjoying the warm sea breeze of the Indian Ocean, Macmillan was also enjoying the sunny beaches, only in the Americas, warmly celebrating, in the name of the Foreign Secretary, the fact that British Guiana would from now on be an independent country.
British Guiana also became the first of the three colonies to become independent, while Macmillan also refuted some of the statements, such as a neighboring country claiming that Guyana’s main ethnic groups are not Americans, “Guyana’s main population is of Indian descent, but this is an era of reconciliation, one-sided racial thinking is not desirable. We live on the same planet and cannot look at things with hatred, and as for the rumor that some have said, Britain was under pressure to give up returning Guyana to Venezuela, it is an outright lie. Britain is not under pressure from any country.”
Macmillan pointed to the Caribbean Sea and swore that there was absolutely no pressure from the United States.
After finishing his trip to Guyana, Macmillan headed straight to Washington, because on January 20, the day Kennedy took over as president, Macmillan had already communicated with Kennedy and would be attending the ceremony of the president’s inauguration.
Macmillan is also ready to Algeria referendum, and Kennedy to exchange views, to jointly deal with the derivation of a series of changes, so as to prove that the special relationship between Britain and the United States is unbreakable.
