Chapter 1086 – Settling Accounts in the Autumn
“I heard that the affirmative action movement in the United States is getting more and more rowdy.” Alan Wilson shook his head slightly and rushed at Richard White, “The existence of blacks in the United States is a wake-up call for us, and now that British Africa has not yet completed its independence, our Foreign Ministry also needs to be careful about bringing the aftermath of the colonization back to the homeland.”
“Permanent Undersecretary, that is indeed a problem.” Richard White echoed the sentiment that some of the claims of the affirmative action movement did sound very overwhelming.
The colonial aftermath existed in all colonized countries, at least Alan Wilson’s mind was unexceptional.
And it is this that he is trying to plug up, although it is a bit on the up side of being too ugly and over the top.
But looking at the affirmative action movement in the United States now, he still feels that it is not unacceptable to cross the river and tear down the bridge.
Take the right to education in the affirmative action movement in the United States, the affirmative action advocates that “whoever gets good grades has the right to be prioritized for advancement” is unfair to minorities, especially blacks and Latinos, and therefore these disadvantaged groups should be “appropriately taken care of”. To correct the discrimination between races and groups that has existed since the founding of the United States.
To change the standard of meritocracy, which prioritizes the admission of blacks on the basis of equal merit, which is naturally unfair to the vast majority of the population. The latter-day United States has naturally succeeded in this, turning already-poor public education into kindergarten altogether.
Records lie battle lines don’t lie, and the level of American ignorance in the twenty-first century is visible to the rest of the world.
Richard White was more interested in knowing which ethnic group Alan Wilson felt would invade the British mainland, but could only ask as an aside, too embarrassed to overly express concern about it.
“In terms of geography and population growth, naturally Black Africa.” Alan Wilson spoke without even thinking, “The Middle East side of the British protectorate usually has a small population, while over in Southeast Asia, Malaya’s land bearing is still very large. And Malaya and the neighboring economies have already pulled apart, and the locals don’t necessarily want to emigrate yet?”
If Alan Wilson wanted to curb Malaya’s population growth, he would have gone straight to real estate.
Singapore’s second generation had once said that Singapore, if it is obsessed with pursuing statistics that look good on the books, it is entirely possible to learn from Xiangjiang’s real estate speculation, and at least be able to double Singapore’s figures again.
It is just that there is absolutely no need for Singapore to do so. Singapore itself has a much higher income than its neighboring countries. There is no need to chase higher, yet meaningless, numbers.
As Malaya’s economy continues to move forward and urbanization is nearing completion, the local population growth will come down. After it reaches the 20-30 million size, it will settle into a slow growth rhythm.
At that time Malaya will have to look more for superiority from above Java, it’s still early enough that Malaya doesn’t have to worry too much.
The key is also the blacks, 400,000 Indians in British Kenya is a time bomb, Macmillan, the Foreign Secretary was slow to act on this matter, and now even less heart.
When the time comes, Alan Wilson may have to replicate the old Northern Rhodesia story again in order to avoid a repeat of history. Better dead than flooding into Britain.
Affirmative action this kind of thing, Alan Wilson fair to say, it is certainly not smooth sailing, tend to minority subject communities are not satisfied, not affirmative action, the United States did and really practiced slavery, segregation now still exists, how to do it all people are not satisfied.
This kind of inside and outside the process must go through, might as well seal the mouth, don’t let Britain face the same problem.
At this moment, there is a need for Alan Wilson to carry out some very gold, about the ultimate far-reaching impact of affirmative action in the United States of America report, sent to the Cabinet, a kind of for the United Kingdom to mention before a wake-up call.
The central idea of this report is that once there are minorities this dilemma can not be avoided, not like today’s United States so difficult, only to ensure that there is no native immigrants from the colonies.
This report also links affirmative action to the colonial issue. Once all the colonies are lost, in order to maintain influence over the traditional colonies, some people may want to open up some of the immigrants and buy off the upper class of the colonies. Failure to grasp this scale could result in an influx of immigrants into the homeland.
So the colonies must not all be lost, and retaining the existence of important colonies is in itself a buffer for the mainland. The offshore balance has to be sustained, and troops must never be withdrawn at important points.
If one had to optimize the global placement of the British army, Africa must be the least valuable place to start with.
Taking advantage of the American affirmative action movement to bring out the colonial issue in passing, this report was submitted, and Allen Wilson was only relieved. The reason why he continued to show goodwill to the culture czar is that he hoped to avoid the United States and the Soviet Union unspoken at the same time on the British knife.
If you have to tear it up a bit, it is best to come one at a time, come two Britain certainly can not carry. And the Soviet Union is now can not reach too far away, does not mean that the future can not reach.
In another ten years, it is possible that Africa is now the Congo. Brezhnev tens of billions of subsidies is not a joke, the global offensive period, the Soviet Union is really tens of billions of tens of billions of dollars to take out.
In terms of the Soviet Union’s own bloc, the USSR had more influence in any country with the same system than a major power. Whether it was Vietnam, Tanzania, or North Korea, the USSR was steadfastly following the USSR while it was alive.
How can a certain great power grab influence when Vietnam alone shared tens of billions of dollars in foreign aid during the Brezhnev era? A Tanzanian railroad was certainly sincere, but it was still too shallow compared to the Soviet Union’s two and a half billion dollar loan.
That is, Nyerere is not an extreme leader, to all countries to maintain relations can be.
Otherwise, with one look from the Soviet Union, the Tanzanian Railway would have been completed on the first day, and Tanzania would have turned into Vietnam on the second.
The USSR burned $200 billion in global offensives in the seventies alone, and there was absolutely no way that Britain could have withstood such an onslaught.
British Africa was bound to give up by then, and it was Allen Wilson’s purpose to concentrate British forces in the Middle East and Far East, to preserve key nodes and wait for a change in the world.
This a detailed report, soon reached the hands of the Prime Minister Aidan, about the loss of the colonies, and maintain influence on the traditional colonies of the conjecture, Aidan also feel very reasonable, and then get rid of drug dependence events Aidan, pick up the phone, ready to talk to Macmillan.
Previously in the middle of the storm, Aiden could pass as silent in order to avoid being taken advantage of by the Labor Party, but now it was time to tune in to Macmillan, the rebel.
“British Kenya’s 400,000 Indians, in the end, how to deal with? As Foreign Secretary, even this kind of thing can not communicate with India? How long has this been, the foreign ministry a program are not, now the situation in Africa is so delicate, you do not feel ashamed of it?” Aidan’s face was cold, and he was very rude to Macmillan.
He was settling scores, and it is a bright and square settling of scores, so that Macmillan knows who is the prime minister, do not secretly have a non-thinking about the position of the prime minister, he is also hard to drive Churchill away before he became prime minister, and now the buttocks are not sitting hot, not ready to let anyone.
The Indians in British Kenya are now an excuse for Aidan to make a tantrum, forcing Macmillan to hurry up and come up with a way to deal with these immigration loopholes that must be plugged immediately.
“It could be proposed in the House of Commons to amend the immigration laws.” Macmillan was split face a rebuke, some can not understand, can not be so superfluous.
But Aidan is now to be superfluous, nonchalantly said, “Think of a way to do it diplomatically, so that we have an excuse to amend the immigration law. That will show that Britain has tried.”
Macmillan went back to the Foreign Office with a load of anger and a deep sense that Aidan was now hitting back at him.
This feeling is not wrong at all, Alan Wilson also did not expect that he expressed a fistful of patriotic heart, was Aiden took the opportunity to suppress Macmillan, but Aiden did not think wrong, British Kenya’s Indian origin is how long, has not yet been resolved.
Macmillan decided to take a break abroad and traveled to New Delhi to talk to Nehru about the matter. Alan Wilson, who had never wanted to go back since he left the subcontinent, could only express his best wishes to Macmillan, “I hope the minister can make as much of a splash as Alexander did in his eastern campaigns.”
“Uh-huh!” Macmillan solemnly nodded his head, but did not hear the ambiguity, Alexander’s Eastern Campaign failed right up to the Indus River.
At this time the foreign minister was in a bad mood, Allen Wilson is not good here to touch the bad luck, directly leave Macmillan’s office.
“The minister seems to be in a bad mood.” Chief Secretary Wick, also saw Macmillan’s smelly face, heart jittery.
“The party number two, indeed, isn’t doing so well either.” Alan Wilson shook his head and sighed, this is like the crown prince of the Chinese dynasty, the situation is quite difficult.
What about showing too much ability, one would be scorned by the emperor. The performance of nothing, will be considered by the emperor is mediocre.
In the position of the crown prince for a long time is also equally dangerous, as the second-in-command for a long time, the courtiers tend to unite around the crown prince, which in turn causes the emperor’s concern about the crown prince snooping on the divine weapon.
Fortunately, civil servants have a retirement system, Norman Brooke happens not to be willing to be extended for five years, and has now considered the matter of retirement, or Whitehall may not be so calm.
Civil servants have a retirement system, politicians can not, campaigning is no upper age limit, Churchill more than seventy years old will have to return to Downing Street it, so McMillan’s situation is almost no solution.
What can he do about the targeting of the number one figure in politics? Although it is the nominal number two of the Conservative Party, but in fact the Conservative Party has a few ministers and his seniority is about the same, Macmillan’s number two, but also really nominal.
