Chapter 117: Rhodesia

Joking aside, with so many colonies around the world, is the British Empire still short of space to accommodate these 200,000 or so Yugoslavs? This matter was simply a no-brainer for a colonial empire like Britain, it was just a matter of where to put it?

Both Rhodesia and British Malaya seemed to have certain advantages, only that the advantages were in different places.

Rhodesia is the Zimbabwe of latter-day billionaires per capita, and as the whites have been operating in Southern Rhodesia for a long time, the native whites have gradually come to dominate, seeing Southern Rhodesia rather than Britain as their motherland, and desperately demanding more autonomy or even independence, though of course there are still many years to go before Rhodesia is truly independent.

If the Yugoslavs were placed in Rhodesia, they might be able to provide a check on the native whites there who wanted independence.

As for British Malaya, it was itself a back-up development colony to British India chosen by Edward Bridges. It could be said that it was already a colony that the British Empire was going to focus on.

As Alexander Cadogan said, British Malaya must be strengthened for colonial rule.

“Alan, you know the Far East very well, don’t keep quiet because you think you are not qualified. We can listen to the young people as well.” Edward Bridges rushed at Allen Wilson’s forehead and said.

“The two main local ethnic groups in British Malaya are very close in proportion to their populations, and the Malay population is certainly a little larger. Personally, I don’t think it’s necessary to put the Yugoslavs over there, or there could be unexpected changes.” Alan Wilson nodded his head politely before speaking eloquently, “We can just rely on the British Army for the military strength of British Malaya, and I believe that nothing will happen in the short term, but Rhodesia is different. The ratio of local native whites to blacks is very disparate, and it really should strengthen some of the local white forces.”

Among the colonies of the British Empire, British Africa was considered to be relatively late in becoming independent, it was not that Britain was as big a fighter in Africa as France, but the level of the Africans was just that. To the local itself is not a strong colonial force, but also break free extremely difficult.

Currently within Black Africa, there are only two places where whites and native whites are of some size, South Africa and Rhodesia, later Zimbabwe.

South Africa and Zimbabwe, in the time that followed, have always formed an alliance to jointly maintain the interests of white Africans.

In the short term, these two places will not be a problem, but of course the premise is to make it clear to the local white leaders, really break free from the British Empire’s rule, in the future you can have to face their own population is more than ten times the population of the blacks themselves.

As for British Malaya, there is no lack of population, the Dutch East India conducted a census in 1930, the population of the Dutch East India was 60 million, and now fifteen years later, the population has exceeded seventy-five million.

These can be the British Malaya population supplement, as for the other major ethnic group of Chinese, Alan Wilson does not think that in 1945 he still have to worry about the Chinese enough. With a little trickery, the Chinese population of British Malaya would not be a problem at all.

“Well, send them to Rhodesia then, and you find an opportunity to talk to Mihailovich.” Edward Bridges nodded his head and agreed to the matter, as for him, the Cabinet Secretary, he naturally returned to London with the Prime Minister.

There was still quite a lot going on with the post-war reconstruction, the international conference, and the restoration of smoothness in the British-occupied territories. With the British and American delegations leaving from Potsdam one after another, Allen Wilson also returned to the city of Greater Berlin.

Now he finally had time to think about how to increase the links between the German British-occupied zone and British India.

After the Potsdam Conference, at least on the surface of the post-war interests have been divided, through the communiqué of the way to tell the world, many people in the population of the third world war, seems to be far away from some.

Potsdam conference is over, did not expect to dump to the Americans of the Yugoslav refugees, turned around and returned to the hands of the British Empire, there is no way, who let the British Empire and the United States have a debt relationship? Britain and exclusion, no way to learn the Soviet Union neck twisted to renege on the debt.

The point is, after World War I, the British Empire dared to do so, because the United States does not have the ability to collect the debt armed. Now it is completely different, ordinary citizens are not clear, but the British government is clear, the United States of America’s national strength has been in the United Kingdom above.

Back to his residence in Berlin, the maid Mia, who had been found before, had made the apartment spotless, and Allen Wilson was grateful that for these Germans, who were almost the same as those after the fall of the country, he sympathized with them on a personal level, but definitely did not sympathize with Germany as a country.

The two things in front of him, one thing Yugoslavia refugees to stay or go, one is long overdue, to the British-occupied areas of the dung in the gold, flipping through the information sent in the form of telegrams, Allen Wilson is full of confidence.

With these two things done, and the Brussels Conference, he would be able to return to the British India that was so dear to his heart, and by then the Indians would surely find the sky higher and bluer.

“Mr. Allen, where have you been lately?” Mia, who was tidying up her room, looked at Allen Wilson, who was reading the information, and had this question, “The whole of Berlin is in a depression right now, and there are still a lot of things going on with the occupation forces, right?”

“Berlin’s depression is only temporary, soon the competition around Berlin will begin.” Alan Wilson smiled back and reassured, “This competition is good for you citizens of Berlin, Berlin is the front line of comparison between the two sides right now and will bring the best of both worlds, and you are even more fortunate in the three occupation zones to our west. The Soviet Union, devastated by you Germans, is without great financial and material resources. But America has!”

“Yes, a lot of people say America has money.” Mia said little, and seemed to keep the care of a servant.

“Those Americans!” Alan Wilson just didn’t want to hear people praising the Americans, he now had to deal with the refugees that the Americans were dumping over, “Right now Europe doesn’t lack technology and talent, it just lacks money. It’s better not to feel good about those rednecks in the U.S. In fact, as long as you bite the bullet and push these two years through, Europe doesn’t need to beg the U.S. for anything.”

In the evening Allen Wilson sent a telegram to Bavaria, asking Mihailovich to come to Berlin to talk. The Potsdam Conference was over, and he didn’t have to run around digging holes for the Americans, not to mention the fact that the U.S. had dumped the refugees on the British Empire again.

After all, what Allen Wilson had done was to inform Mihailovich about the placement of these refugees in Rhodesia, and it didn’t matter whether the other side would agree or not, they would do it whether they agreed or not.
