Chapter 1202 – Good News from the Maternity Room
“Executive Undersecretary, the matter of Mutesa II?” Principal Private Secretary Wick looked at his absent-minded top boss and wondered if he was going to continue.
“There is no rush on the issue of Uganda’s independence, but of course we have already determined in principle that Uganda’s system of government could be modeled after the Malayan side, and the general situation is similar in both places. To be clear, pocket states have no say in the matter, and as for a constitutional monarchy with multiple monarchs ruling together, I will do my best to make Mutesa II the monarch of this generation.”
Allen Wilson snapped out of his musings and, with an apologetic face, explained what had just slipped out, continuing to add, “But we’re going to have to leave a military base inside Uganda for containment of possible unrest, and that’s one thing Mutesa II will have to agree to.”
Uganda is actually a lot like Malaya in that there are four native kingdoms within its borders, of which Mutesa II’s Kingdom of Buganda is the largest, and it is these four kingdoms together, along with the local British colony, that make Uganda in the full sense of the word.
As the old saying goes, Britain is responsible for the non-existence of more than five hundred countries in this world.
Britain’s first setback was with Arizona when she adopted a merger attitude in all her colonies in order to save administrative effort.
From this, Allen Wilson’s eyes on Uganda led him to think of Malaysia’s system of government after independence.
Malaysia was a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary cabinet system. The monarch, or supreme head of state, is the head of state of Malaysia and nominally has the highest legislative, judicial and executive powers.
The Parliament is the highest legislative body in Malaysia, but is not the highest organ of state power, and is subject to certain limitations on its legislative powers relating to the identity, privileges and status of the ruler, and the status of the Malay language as the national language.
The Malaysian Parliament consists of three parts, namely the Supreme Head of State, the Upper House and the Lower House. Parliament meets at the call of the Supreme Head.
Since there are several monarchs in Malaysia, a rotating pattern is adopted, and they are elected by the Council of Rulers.
Alan Wilson thought, now Malaya certainly do not want to be independent, it is better to transplant this set of very special monarchical system to Uganda, to see how the effect, even if it does not work, it is fine, experiment can not fail? It would not cost Britain anything.
If Mutesa II was obedient to Britain, he could retain his supremacy.
In fact, Mutesa II himself was not so far-sighted, according to his idea, Buganda Kingdom is better not to be a part of Uganda, even if it is a small part of his own country, and with the independence of the whole of Uganda, the status of Buganda will be very embarrassing.
In the original history, Mutesa II’s dispute with Prime Minister Milton Obote over the functions of the Buganda Kingdom within Uganda and its sovereign integrity led to exile in Britain.
Had Uganda been larger, Alan Wilson would have wanted to split it without Mutesa II demanding it. He had pursued partition ever since the partition of India and Pakistan.
But Uganda is only about 200,000 square kilometers in total, in the division of four kingdoms? After independence, it would be easy to be influenced by neighboring powers, such as Nyerere, and become a constitutional monarchy with multiple monarchs, and it would be easier for Britain to retain its influence.
In fact, there is another place that is suitable for multi-monarchies, and that is the several emirates in the Middle East, the UAE in the later times. The United Arab Emirates is now under British control, and for the time being, Britain has no intention of letting it become independent.
As long as the military force is not withdrawn, there is room for redemption. The Soviet Union, even if it disintegrated and became Russia. In fact, in the time of the Khitans there was still a chance, because there were still Russian troops in Eastern Europe.
Then there is the story of the Chetans removing all the Russian troops in Eastern Europe, and the countries of Eastern Europe telling Russia goodbye and joining NATO.
Alan Wilson is in no position to sympathize with the Soviet Union because Britain’s fate after the war was no better than the Soviet Union’s.
Why is Alan Wilson unavailable now, busy with preparations for the Anglo-American summit is one thing, but it’s not really particularly important, he has to make a trip to Stockholm, the latter is more important.
In the name of focusing on the cooperation of the fighter program, Allen Wilson came to Sweden again, Greta Garbo to come to what the purpose of the person knows very well, can not help but flirt, “I gave birth to a child, you can not be so concerned, I am not as beautiful as Hepburn?”
Greta Garbo had no reason to be a little jealous, yes, that time she was already forty years old, not as young and beautiful as Hepburn, but does not seem to be much older ah, is also considered to be the age of maternity, did not see Alan Wilson so attentive.
“Uh? That’s not what you said back then.” Allen Wilson was full of dismay, he remembered that he was a tool man here in Greta Garbo, never felt needed.
Greta Garbo was a bit skeptical, “Isn’t that what I said? How did I forget.”
“I was wrong.” Alan Wilson threw up his hands in surrender, he wouldn’t start a woman just because she was older. It wasn’t his style, and in a sense, he was loyal to the ladies who were on equal footing with his wife.
That loyalty was mutual, too, and Greta Garbo had done him a great favor in the matter of Hepburn. Otherwise it wouldn’t have been so easy to get the ball to have a baby, and only a personal deception by a movie star’s predecessor would have worked so easily.
“I haven’t even met my son a few times, and you’re so enthusiastic now that I don’t know what’s wrong.”
“Lovisa is fine now, let him grow up on his own.” Greta Garbo resumed her cold tone, “I’ll take good care of him, and you’ll have to explain, when you see him, why the long separation.”
Lovisa Gerstaff, was Greta Garbo’s name for her son, who was growing up, and it was a great relief to her, like she had found a purpose in life again.
“If you want to say so, it’s good to grow up some more.” Alan Wilson opened his mouth and didn’t know what to say, but still emphasized, “Delaying is not an option, sooner or later he will know of my existence.”
Greta Garbo raised an eyebrow, the tone of her voice was very much like in the middle of a movie when the villain puts in a hard word.
Alan Wilson saw Greta Garbo’s micro-expression and asked with a stinky face, “What are you thinking?”
“Not thinking about anything!” Greta Garbo vehemently denied, not wanting to fall into the trap of an old bureaucrat’s words, as long as she answered, no matter what she answered, this bureaucrat always had words to continue.
Alan Wilson smiled meditatively and bitterly, coming to some realization about the woman who had changed quite a bit from when he first met her. And that realization was? She was finally falling in love with herself.
Because he knows that, as much as the truth is necessary for our future happiness, and as much as I agreed to it, it was always going to be embarrassing for me. She was afraid that in talking to me about it she would hurt my pride and damage my feelings. She preferred to wait until everything was settled before meeting with me.
Ellen Wilson was very sympathetic to this day-to-day mood, and at this point was going to kiss her well and say to her that I had guessed the reason why she was doing this.
This self-satisfied and also smelly act made Greta Garbo laugh bitterly, “Was it me who helped you with Hepburn in exchange for a thank you.”
“No! Don’t always say such hurtful things, even the Cuban Missile Crisis I never panicked. But you get me through the roof every time you say something that just doesn’t live up to my sincerity.”
Even if it was, Alan Wilson wouldn’t admit it, let alone that it wasn’t at all, and that’s worldly, isn’t it?
“Carry me in.” Greta Garbo closed her eyes slightly as she extended an invitation to her faraway honored guest.
When holding the baby in his hands, Alan Wilson had the statue-like appearance of a contemplative person, it was hard for him to describe his mood at this moment, just not moving, the whole person was like petrified.
Finally even Hepburn couldn’t look at him, what’s the matter, not satisfied with his adventurous remaining son, “What’s on your mind?”
“I’m thinking, God is not extraordinarily partial to me.” Alan Wilson was so deep in love that he naturally squeezed out two tears and gambled, “Now even if you let me go straight to hell, I have no fear.”
“Nonsense.” Hepburn blankly glanced at the man, “Live well, the child and I will still need you to take care of us in the future.”
“It is incumbent.” Alan Wilson’s gaze is firm, if how steel is practiced to casting, he is also sure to be able to initial sea election, the purest communist warrior, but also not he came to the firm.
But this performance, successfully let Hepburn put down the heart, because of the separation, she also often think nonsense, just afraid of what they entrusted to the wrong person, now see Alan Wilson’s performance, the sacrifice is still worth it.
Greta Garbo face expressionless. Thinking to herself that yesterday’s surprise training was still effective, perhaps the man had always had an unknown talent in this area.
“It’s a good thing he’s an official, otherwise he’d be a scourge to the whole world.” Greta Garbo thought as she did.
The Queen of Sweden must have misunderstood, even as an official, Allen Wilson would do his best to prove that the scourge he brought to this world would not be reduced by a single point.
It was only today that Allen Wilson was relieved that he had gotten the ball flower in one piece. There was no need to worry that without marriage as a tie, Hepburn would one day not be able to tolerate this underground romance and thus leave himself.
With the Swedish side of the full harvest of high-altitude high-speed fighters, Alan Wilson returned home, at this time he felt that it is also time to talk to his father-in-law about the planning of the development course of the British fighter.
He does not discriminate against fighters similar to the aerial beauty and so on, the eight masters are also in a period of time has guarded hundreds of millions of people, but the United Kingdom can be completely better, more in line with the times of the British aerospace industry requirements.
