Chapter 907: All the Light of God is in Us

The elite of Lagos applauded Moore-Loston and Azikiwe on stage, oblivious to the fact that the so-called second Persian Gulf was nothing more than a pie in the sky to motivate them.

The Colonial Commissioners, who were on the second floor and stood tall and directly in front of the podium, each wore a bashful smile.

“Actually, this approach could be replicated more often, we certainly don’t want to leave in principle, but remember to shape the environment in our favor if we ever have to.” Alan Wilson rushed to his colleagues.

“Understood, Secretary General Allen.” The gentlemen let out a loud laugh and it was all in good fun.

In fact, Allen Wilson did not deceive Nigerians, oil resources are not available now, but as long as there is time to explore there will definitely be, the latter days of Nigeria, in addition to relying on the Niger River Basin’s agriculture, rely on the export of oil to create foreign exchange it.

Extensive African colonies potential resources have not yet been tapped, but even after a few decades, the theory of proximity of resources holds true in Africa, the place where the resources are found is generally also the place where the local population is the largest.

As far as he knew, the Nigerian interior had not been developed much in the twenty-first century either, consistent with the population distribution of the Nigerian autonomous territories at this time, suggesting that most of the potential resources were likewise being exploited in accordance with the current population distribution.

The thunderous applause downstairs would definitely not be a wasted celebration, and Nigeria would not be at a loss.

And now Alan Wilson will be able to attract international lobbyists to woo the country with the huge oil resources in the Gulf of Guinea that are not even in the cards, which is where Moore-Loston is worried about, fearing that the husband of this presidentess, is painting a big picture with non-existent oil resources.

The Nigerian Autonomous Territory’s books are far from being able to carry out such a large-scale construction, Allen Wilson can’t help it, he always has to go and seek funds to bring the plan to completion, and he doesn’t want to share it with the other colonies, and he can’t ask for funds towards the cabinet? So what to do? Can only go to cheat, to sneak attack ……

This partnership signing is a happy one for all, the Nigerian Autonomous Chiefs are happy, the Colonial Commissioners are happy, Moore-Loston may not be happy now, he will understand later. God’s light is on me, and when the oil resources in the Gulf of Guinea are explored, nothing will be a problem.

He was about to break open the champagne to celebrate the achievement of a stage victory when Radvich pushed open the door to his room and came up to him and whispered something in his ear, “The Colonel has just arrived in Grace and wants to meet with Mr. Wilson.”

“What a …… nickname,” Allen Wilson sniffed and shook his head in disbelief, “I’ll be there afterward, tell Grace to wait.”

All have been living in Northern Rhodesia for ten years, these Slavs are still managed with militarization, probably because of Mihajlovic’s increasing age, began to focus on cultivating his successor, Grace is already the obvious Chetnik next chief, also more than one colonel’s nickname.

After a couple drinks with his colleagues, Alan Wilson made a call to his apartment and drove back.

“Mrs. Heidi, excuse me.” Grace, who had boarded the door, went straight to the bedroom door in front of Allen Wilson and knocked on the door as a sort of greeting, indicating that he knew Hedy Lamarr was here.

Only then did he sit down in front of Alan Wilson, “Alan, knowing that you are in Africa, I immediately boarded a plane to make a trip to Lagos just to talk to you about what was said last time.”

“What was said last time?” Alan Wilson pretended to think back, nothing came to mind, “What was it?”

“About the demarcation of Northern Rhodesia, the whole of Northern Rhodesia is like a barbell, it’s easy to be chopped in the middle, it’s not conducive to our guarding work.” Grace brought up the old issue again, apparently for the Slavs of Northern Rhodesia, this kind of bad defense demarcation had become their consensus.

“What do you want me to do? Whites are a minority as far as the whole of Africa is concerned, and although you are Slavs, who cares what ethnicity you are in the eyes of the blacks? Only recognize you as white people, if you move to rob, Britain does not speak out against are considered to support, at least the blacks see it this way. Besides, the place you want is the territory of the Belgian Congo, do you want to rob it? At least now is not the time.”

If this were a multiple choice question without consequences, Britain would certainly be willing to support white interests in Africa. But this multiple choice question is not without consequences.

The original history of Rhodesian independence is the obvious example. The British settlers in Rhodesia drove out the British officials stationed there to force independence because they felt that Rhodesia could not possibly be supported by Britain under apartheid.

It is true that homoerotic feelings existed between the British settlers in Rhodesia and Britain itself, but compared to the perception of Black Africa as a whole, a few hundred thousand white settlers were still not worth putting Britain on the wrong side of the black community.

“Although people have been sent to pull the Yugoslavs to flee and come to live in Northern Rhodesia, but by now the population of the whole of Northern Rhodesia has just passed half a million, and there is no way that we can encircle Northern Rhodesia with landmines. The existing population is lining the borders every day, so we don’t have to do anything.”

Grace told of her difficulties, “Father asked me to lead Chetnik, not everyone is convinced, and I need something to prove myself that will convince everyone.”

“It will have to wait, there is no other way. I am willing to help, of course, but it will take opportunity. There are colonial interests at stake, and strategic issues. It’s not up to me to do whatever I want. It’s not a British colony, it’s not like you can just grab a piece of land in Malawi and swing the British commissioner.”

Seeing Gress still wanting to speak, Alan Wilson explained, “Belgium is heavily influenced by France, you’re in Africa, you wouldn’t have never heard of the Algerian War, right?”

“What does it matter?” Although Grace was the internal successor of a military organization like Chetnik, it didn’t mean that the strategic vision was far-sighted, and in the original Yugoslavia, it didn’t have this kind of heightened perspective to look at the problem.

“Britain and France had different colonial strategies, and France’s Algerian War largely determined the future of Africa. Once the French colonial system is loosened in Africa, the stability of the Belgian Congo will definitely be affected. It all depends on the choice of the Belgians when the time comes, no problem if they talk to the local elites properly.”

“But Belgium and France should react in the same way, if that’s the case, there will be a period of armed conflict in the Belgian Congo, all the major colonies have a certain white population, I don’t know how much white population there is in the Belgian Congo, it’s definitely not as good as Algeria where there exists a community of one million immigrants, but it should be there too, and when wars arise, the white immigrants in the Belgian Congo. Isn’t it very much like when you were desperate?”

“We take advantage of the chaos to contact the Belgians? Give promises of protection, and then along the way let them take the land around Lubumbashi and incorporate it into Northern Rhodesia?”

Snap! Snapping his fingers Allen Wilson nodded, “That’s the idea, if the Belgian Congo’s immigrants were to be on the scale of a hundred thousand, you’d have to concede a little interest anyhow, you can’t keep everything to yourselves, can you, that’s for you to think about, and that involves one other thing.”

“The commissioner can say directly if he has something to say, I can come to Lagos, itself is with sincerity.” Hearing that there was something in Alan Wilson’s words, Gress asked directly.

“You guys once said before that you want to apply for being a royal territory, I remind again, in accordance with the example of Newfoundland in the first place, royal territories cannot be independent, and the same as the United Kingdom has to have Her Majesty the Queen as the monarch.”

Grace nodded, “With a population this small, we also need British support to get a foothold surrounded by one black man after another.”

“It’s good that you’re clear on that, but I’m not emphasizing anything, it’s better not to turn it into a royal territory until you have the Lubumbashi area of the Belgian Congo.” Alan Wilson cautioned, “Otherwise, when you annex the land, the other countries may think that it was Britain that instructed you to do so. When the dust settles, if I have the ability to do so, I will represent the Foreign Office at that time to talk to Northern Rhodesia about the terms of becoming a royal territory.”

At least for the time being, Grace accepted this explanation, then next Alan Wilson was going to talk about letting the other party help, “The British garrison in the Nigerian Autonomous Territory has withdrawn most of it, can you lend me some people to use to oversee the progress of the development of the Niger Delta, didn’t you guys help out when you were in Newfoundland before.”

The garrison of the Nigerian autonomous territories, now all become the British army in Australia, Allen Wilson can not let them in the return.

Gress mouth what Chetnik’s next leader, the leader of a military organization, the request to borrow some armed personnel should not be too much.

“This?” Gless was in a bit of a bind, the population of Northern Rhodesia was only so small, fewer people was fine.

“What if the Americans know you grow poppies and sell them to America?” Alan Wilson said施施然的道, “Of course I’m not threatening anything, the development of Northern Rhodesia, my wife’s group also contributed a lot. We have a long day ahead of us working together.”

“How many people will it take ……,” Grace said dryly, letting Alan Wilson name a number.

“A couple thousand is enough. There are still some in the Autonomous Territory Garrison, adding up to barely enough.” Allen Wilson replied happily, “You see, it’s not about finding the right answer, it’s about finding the right question for smart people like us.”

The Mountbatten Group’s claim to have discovered a second Persian Gulf, a news heavy enough to change the world’s crude oil market, stung in the midst of the economic crisis, literally with a gold-coin glow.

The personal endorsement of Moore Loston, a connoisseur of the discovery of North Sea oil, drew all eyes to the Gulf of Guinea, the former center of the slave trade.

The funding gap for the development of the Nigerian Autonomous Territories rests with these greedy people.
