Chapter 819 – Wilson, Friend of the Negroes

“What do you want to do?” John could only think that Alan Wilson was trying to comfort him; after all, there were too many garrison and expatriates involved with the local women compared to the number of women marrying out of the country.

“Honestly.” Alan Wilson said just as directly, “Tell them plainly that they should leave their wives and children behind. I’m sure after consideration, they’ll make the right choice.”

Men are not women, and the so-called empathy of women, which, to put it bluntly, is nonsense, cannot be said to be absent in men at all, but it is almost absent.

At the peak of the British Empire, even the poor people in the East End of London worshipped the empire and were proud of it.

But now it’s different, Britain is on a contractionary track, these overseas garrisons and expatriates have to choose between the welfare of the empire and the future of their lives, it’s impossible to have both.

They can either abandon their wives and children and return to the mainland alone, or they will be concerned about the formation of the family, soft hearted to stay, can only choose one of the two, absolutely can not I want all of them. Since the choice cannot be regretted.

“Well, I think it’s time to let these people make their choice now.” John sighed, this choice was destined to be difficult, in theory he also wanted to find the option that would be acceptable to everyone, but in turn everyone accepts it, doesn’t that mean that no one is satisfied?

“It’s not time yet, let’s talk to the blacks in the south and then finalize things with the two Arab parties before we get to the evacuation. Of course it’s good to put out some news that can’t be confirmed first, so that everyone is mentally prepared. If anyone comes to inquire, there will be no firm denials.”

Alan Wilson thought about it and decided that he still couldn’t change the order, and it was better to complete the orderly withdrawal bit by bit.

Sudan has two problems after decades, one is the independence of South Sudan and the other is the Darfur issue. These two issues were not one and the same, especially the latter, which was geographically Western Sudan near French Chad.

The inhabitants of Darfur are ethnically divided between Arabs and blacks, with the blacks outnumbering the Arabs, but both practicing the religion of peace. This distinguishes it from South Sudan, where the blacks do not believe in the religion of peace.

In the early years, Sudan was divided into three juxtaposed regions, South Sudan, North Sudan and Darfur, the first two of which were ruled by the British colonial government, while Darfur was colonized by Ottoman Egypt.

Later, after suppressing the Mahdi uprising in the Sudanese region, Britain and Egypt merged the three areas into a unified Sudan under joint rule, but in practice North Sudan and Darfur were ruled by one colonial government and South Sudan by another.

The merger of North and South Sudan, on the other hand, was a decade ago, and the time it took to become one country was quite brief.

So in theory, with this partition of Sudan, Britain could divide Sudan into three pieces, Sudan, Western Sudan, and Southern Sudan, corresponding to Arabs, blacks who believe in the religion of peace, and blacks who don’t.

But too much fragmentation would not have been beneficial, mainly because an independent Western Sudan might not have been too strong to resist the encroachment of the French African colonies. Keep in mind that France was a lot more uptight about Africa than Britain was.

Don’t think that the current pattern will stay the same, with the Rwandan massacre, there is the shadow of France hovering above Africa.

France is trying to continue to push French-speaking culture into the British colonies, and that has to be guarded against.

So the partition of Sudan must have a premise, even if it is partitioned, can not be weaker than the next to the French culture-based Chad, from the area and population to prevail, or in case of France to reach out, after the antagonism to the English-speaking culture of the country, the resistance will be very difficult.

So when there really can be the opportunity to partition India, Alan Wilson thought half a day, but also can not give India to split into numerous small countries, first of all, not necessarily successful, successful consequences are a bunch of small Hindu countries have to manage Pakistan called Dad.

John is a Sudanese commissioner with much bigger goals than Alan Wilson, so he has to stay in Khartoum. Negotiating with the blacks in South Sudan would have to be done by Alan Wilson on his behalf.

“It’s really troublesome.” John was a little embarrassed, Allen Wilson seemed like he was coming over to play second fiddle, but in reality, the other party was still half a level higher than him, and the high point was that Allen Wilson was the Deputy Secretary General of the Overseas Asset Management Committee.

“Ship the precious metals back to London with a good plan, and just leave the pounds to Sudan as foreign exchange.” Allen Wilson waved his hand carelessly, which prepared him to have a good talk with the African black uncle.

Different colonies have different colonial management, such as Southeast Asia, no matter which European country is colonized. All coincidentally choose to support the Chinese and suppress the local natives.

The aftereffects certainly existed, once the colony became independent, the long lasting impression left by the Chinese was that they were accomplices to the colonizers, a source of inequality that most of the natives could see.

British India was a bit more complicated, with different attitudes towards pacifism and Hinduism at different times.

It’s hard to say exactly which sect was treated more favorably. Who made both religions halfway decent? But let Alan Wilson say that the religion of peace is still more than one level above Hinduism.

The African region has a special matching mechanism, the United Kingdom is not thought of in the Sudan to weed out the weak, a little better for the blacks, but after trying or honestly choose to pull in the Arabs, the blacks are really not good to support.

Back to the sponsored villa, Alan Wilson took off his shirt, because of the key political knowledge reserves, he came before he knew that the weather in Sudan is famous for its heat, almost and the world’s hot pole Basra is a level of existence.

But imagination is still not the same as personal experience, Khartoum can easily be forty degrees of temperature is indeed very difficult to get through.

Allen Wilson laughed when he came in, Hedy Lamarr was lying on her back on the king-sized bed without a stitch of clothing, directly in front of the ceiling fan on the roof, her body presented in a large shape and she didn’t even want to move when Allen Wilson came in.

“Darling, I can understand your determination to fight the heat, but this gesture, it’s very difficult for me.” Alan Wilson was shirtless, but it was nothing compared to the jade-bodied movie queen.

Hedy Lamarr grunted straight and didn’t try to move at all, “I regret it, it’s hotter than Malaya near the equator and it’s smoking me out. Who would come to a hellhole like this if you hadn’t asked?”

Alan Wilson was also helpless, if someone else had said that, he would have exposed the essence of the barbarian and asked rhetorically who told you that it must be hot near the equator, the world’s high temperatures are all along the line of Basra, and the dimension is not near the equator.

But a look at Hedy Lamarr did not even want to move a finger, also know that this time the shadow queen is suffering, went forward to pick up Hedy Lamarr’s uncovered body, “Well, let’s go to a place that is not too hot, while washing.”

“Washing is more than just a shower.” Hedy Lamarr hooked the man’s neck, a pair of almond eyes looking straight at Alan Wilson, she was almost able to see through this man’s essence.

In response to such a serious question that defamed the morality of the Imperial Commissioner, Allen Wilson said that the movie queen was right.

The capital of South Sudan is called Juba, and it is also the largest city in South Sudan, with a population of more than 100,000 people, and there is also a British army stationed there to reflect the presence of the colonial government.

Juba is located on the banks of the White Nile River, and is no match for Khartoum in terms of city size. The few buildings that are not too bad are related to the British colonizers, and are colonial facilities that existed before the merger of the two Sudans.

But the good thing is that the sparrow is small, the conditions are not too bad, Alan Wilson took Hedy Lamarr, who has been accustomed to the Arab robes, here, and one thing he did not lie, the temperature here is a little bit friendlier than Khartoum.

At the former colonial governor’s house, Allen Wilson met Joseph Agu, the commander of the South Sudanese army, or Equatorian Corps as it is called in Britain, and who, in the words of his colleague John, is the South Sudanese military strongman who is adamant about drawing a line in the sand with the Arabs.

Britain has always had a keen interest in merging colonies, and South Sudan was originally going to merge with Uganda, but at the Juba Conference ten years ago it was finally decided to merge with North Sudan to become Sudan.

The blacks of South Sudan have been deeply unhappy about this, and Joseph Agu was a representative of this. As North Sudan protested against the British withdrawal from Sudan, Joseph Agu watched coldly, ready to fight the Arabs by launching a civil war after the British left.

But with the arrival of the understanding Alan Wilson, launching a civil war could be put on hold for a while. There were also British troops stationed in Juba, and although they weren’t very numerous, it was still no problem to deal with a so-called Equatorian Legion, which in reality only had not two thousand men in its ranks.

“Colonel Joseph.” Looking at the military rank on the other party, Allen Wilson addressed the other party as Colonel.

From the perspective of the whole of Africa, among the long candidates who initiated civil wars or military coups, Joseph Agu’s military rank was already not low.

“Mr. Wilson, learning of your arrival, my friends and I have prepared a gift for you.” Joseph Agu returned to his senses and hurriedly opened his mouth to express his friendship.

Alan Wilson’s face was calm, but he was not interested in the other party’s gift, he saw it when Joseph Agu just came in, another ivory and two rhinoceros horns, a few crocodile skins were good, belonging to the famous Nile crocodile.

“Too bad, I came here mainly to help everyone, as we all know, Britain has never respected the ideas of the peoples under its jurisdiction, no matter whether they are big or small, all treated equally.” Alan Wilson pulled a long tone and looked at the other with an expectant gaze and said.

“Then, I wonder if the legitimate rights and interests of South Sudan can be taken seriously by London. Or can succeed from Mr. Wilson’s mouth to be taken seriously by London.” Joseph Agu was immediately very uptight on hearing this.

“Very good, you see, the way to solve matters is not necessarily to find the answer, the key is to find the right problem.” Alan Wilson emphasized with an easy smile, “Let’s see who can find the key problem.”
