Chapter 1053 Sign a Secret Agreement First
The United States wants to stabilize the situation during the general election, but Britain cannot keep pursuing it. Alan Wilson knows very well that there is still a qualitative gap between the British emperor who killed himself and the American emperor in the world.
In the end, it is Britain that suffers from the endless troubles. What is the use of influencing the US election? The isolationism in the United States has ebbed, and there will be no essential difference between the two parties in the future.
As long as the Six-Party Talks begin, such a large meeting with many people talking and different interests will be more conducive to Britain's strategy of creeping back and trying to gain strategic space before talking about it.
At this point, Alan Wilson's goal has been achieved. After all, extreme sublimation cannot last long. Britain's general direction is to preserve its strength and wait for the opportunity. After all, for today's Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union are still too strong.
"I don't know if I can handle the day when we both lose." Alan Wilson is a little exhausted physically and mentally. He has been wandering around like a headless fly in recent months, adding fuel here and adding chaos there.
But fortunately the result is good, but it's hard to say whether this game can continue to be played. After all, there is a critical value for exchanging space for time. If it falls below this critical value, it will no longer be effective.
News reached London after the US Secretary of State announced that it would respect the wishes of its allies and discuss the Iran issue in the form of six-party talks.
The entire British public opinion is full of praise for this government. If the Conservative government had not been in office for just one year, an early election might have been held by now.
Alan Wilson, who has hidden his merits and fame and is still in Lusaka, the capital of Northern Rhodesia, is deducing the possible impact of deviations in his judgment and history in his mind.
The Soviet Union has taken advantage in the Congo and may show more aggressive aggression. This is a good thing for the United Kingdom at this stage. If this offensiveness continues to expand, it may not necessarily be the case, and it must be on guard against one or two things.
Moreover, it is now the second half of 1960, and the Cuban Missile Crisis is not far away. Will the Soviet Union, having tasted the sweetness, become more bold in doing things? This may not necessarily be a good thing for Khrushchev himself.
The African colonies were not as important to Britain as imagined, and Britain's priority was still the Far East and the Middle East.
Malaya is a production base and the Persian Gulf is an energy base. But even so, it cannot fall into the hands of the Soviet Union.
The United Kingdom has received the overtures from the United States, and now there are some details, such as how much funding the United States is prepared to spend in order to continue to plunder Congo's resources, er, to protect the freedom of the Congolese people.
There are not many good dogs who bring their own dog food.
They are mainly concentrated in East Asia, and the African continent is generally not rich in such fine varieties. If you want the independent armed forces in Katanga Province to continue to fight against Lumumba, they will definitely not be able to do so without taking money.
This is not something McCarthy alone has the final say. He also needs to keep in touch with the country to discuss an appropriate number.
Alan Wilson was walking around carrying a cup of soaked wolfberry, and he also took the opportunity to discuss with Grace how to operate. The United States hopes that the United Kingdom will be in the front. This method can be copied and used in practice, "You can let Moise Cabenda ·Tshombe’s Katangese armed forces are at the front, and the Belgians will definitely assist Tshombe, but in the long run, the Congolese Central Army trained by the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia will have the advantage. Once Moise Cabenda Chongbe If you can't stand it anymore, it's time for you to pick peaches. The question is, you won't be able to beat the Africans trained by Tito, right?"
I have to say that the efficiency of the Soviet system was vividly reflected in the Congo crisis. No one noticed it if they didn't take action. Once they took action, it was simply too quick. In less than a month, the Soviet and Yugoslav military advisers had been decentralized to Battalion and company units, the Congolese central government in Kinshasa has completed full control of the army.
The structure of the Congo itself is divided into three parts, namely the president and the prime minister. With the strong intervention of the Soviet Union, the Congolese version of the government-court dispute did not occur as it did in history.
In fact, there are relatively more supporters of President Joseph Kasafbu in the western part of the Congo, with the Congolese capital Kinsasha as the core. As for the northeastern part of the Congo, it is the base camp of Lumumba's supporters.
As soon as the Soviets arrived, Joseph Kasavbu, who would have sparred with Lumumba in history, simply stopped. It has no original momentum at all. It simply proves the weakness of the petty bourgeoisie by itself.
He was clearly a president who favored the free world, but now he has become a president who wants to take a middle-of-the-road approach.
Alan Wilson believed that within a few months no one would be more pro-Soviet than Joseph Kasavbu.
Joseph Kasafbu, who has shown a flexible moral bottom line, is no longer making trouble. Now that the Congolese central government is united, the situation of dividing the world into three parts has become a situation of ruling by rivers. Moise, who is entrenched in Katanga Province, ·Kabenda·Tshombe is at best a Chen State of the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
Grace nodded, feeling Alan Wilson's sincerity, "When the time comes, we will definitely do it."
"Oh, then just sign the secret agreement." Alan Wilson directly took out the prepared secret agreement, "There should be a result about the transfer of the Northern Rhodesia Autonomous Territory to the royal territory. Wait until you get it. The land we want is being announced, but the signing must be signed now.”
This matter cannot be delayed any longer. If these Slavs are really raised, they might not think so.
Allen Wilson has suffered a lot. The Dragoon sisters, thinking of their motherland, directly destroyed West Berlin, a stronghold inserted into Eastern Europe. Now it has become a simple military stronghold, with less than 10,000 troops living in a city worth millions. The urban areas of West Berlin where one can live are simply living in a ghost town.
Therefore, matters related to the royal territory can be announced later, but the implementation must be implemented now to avoid long nights and nightmares. Once this is done, Alan Wilson's trip to Africa will be considered a complete success.
Northern Rhodesia, which has robbed part of Malawi's land, already has an area of 800,000 square kilometers. If Katanga in Congo is cut off, it will be almost even if it is not 1 million square kilometers.
It is very appropriate to settle things while people like Grace need Britain especially at this time.
There is no need to practice magic skills in reverse. Although this treaty has similarities with Brezhnev’s theory of limited sovereignty, as the leader of a modern colonial country, Britain does not need to learn from the practices of other countries. It has many advantages of its own. experience of.
The treaty clearly stipulates that Northern Rhodesia cannot become independent and follow the example of Newfoundland in self-government.
The British garrison in Northern Rhodesia will be retained and will work with the existing armed forces in Northern Rhodesia to maintain order here. As for the diplomatic level, Northern Rhodesia's diplomacy accepted British guidance.
This is an experience learned from the original relationship between Britain and Bhutan and Sikkim, and this trick has also been learned by India. However, Alan Wilson laid a minefield before leaving. Bhutan and Sikkim do not have to worry about being annexed, but the idea of submitting to India in some matters is still inevitable.
Since Northern Rhodesia is not independent, it cannot be considered an independent country. It is normal for diplomacy to always be constrained by Britain.
As a royal territory, it cannot choose which country to establish diplomatic relations with; on the contrary, if other countries want to communicate with Northern Rhodesia, they need the consent of the United Kingdom.
The duties of the High Commissioner of Northern Rhodesia have been retained to oversee the rule of law in Northern Rhodesia and to oversee widespread human rights violations.
The armed forces of Northern Rhodesia are armed with British equipment and all training is copied from the British army. Since it is not independent, there is no need to print new currency, although the UK has this ability.
Northern Rhodesia's official currency remains the pound sterling and could serve as a home base for the African Sterling Area in the future. Alan Wilson believes that this condition is quite good, and Grace and the others have made a profit.
Once something happens in Africa that goes against British interests, Northern Rhodesia has the obligation to cooperate with the British army.
"That's all for now. As for the internal management of Northern Rhodesia, London has no reason or power to interfere." Alan Wilson said with regret. "After the secret agreement is announced, the High Commissioner only has the responsibility of supervision and maintains local and The special relationship between the royal family and the territory, is this enough freedom?”
After the signing, Alan Wilson and Grace exchanged the text of the treaty. He had paid too much for Britain.
So, is it too much to sometimes get some treatment like the prince-consort of the dynasty? He thought it was not too much. Who fought for the Windsor Castle Hotel where he stayed? Princess Margaret's chain of hotels is mushrooming after a spring rain, so he doesn't have any credit?
Alan Wilson, who holds the secret contract, has the universe in his heart. Who is Churchill, and who is Eden?
McCarthy had left a few days earlier, and now Alan Wilson could return to London with great ambitions.
Hedy Lamarr was very enthusiastic. She knew that the two of them were going to be separated soon, so she suddenly became much more proactive.
"When I get to London, I will see you from time to time." Heidi Lamarr rubbed her ears and temples while holding her arms around the man's neck.
In recent years, it seems that the desires of several women have reached a new level. Alan Wilson is about to be severely tested when he wants to return to London. It turns out that he has a way. For example, giving birth to a child can relieve him a lot of pressure.
But now? It seems that except for Hepburn and her sister-in-law, they are no longer of childbearing age.
"Although life is difficult, I have always overcome obstacles and never looked back." Alan Wilson took a breath and sent the rocket into deep space orbit, vowing to make manned spaceflight a complete success.
The trip to Africa came to an end. Alan Wilson returned to London with Northern Rhodesia's loyalty, and London began to formally prepare for the six-party talks to be held in Basra, focusing on the Iranian issue, which could be delayed for another year and a half. ,very nice.
