Chapter 1120 The 2nd Royal Territory

British East Africa was used to replace British India. At the end of World War II, when British India was a certainty, it was proposed to form a British East African Federation, with Kenya as the core.

In terms of natural conditions, this plan is naturally no problem. With such a large place connected together, the effective area is larger than British India, but what about the population above? That's another story.

Although Alan Wilson also admitted that black people in East Africa are more reliable than black people in West Africa to a certain extent. The emergence of a strongman like Paul Kagame may not lead to development.

But that is not the purpose of Britain. Without a strongman like Paul Kagame, black people are not as good as Indians, let alone help.

In fact, Alan Wilson has a plan that is being implemented. Of course, it depends on the direction of the war in Katanga Province.

If there is enough time, could only a certain big country and a prominent country take advantage of the window period of the Cuban Missile Crisis? Couldn't Britain take the opportunity to annex the south of Lubumbashi and create a fait accompli?

"Today, we are not sure of the authenticity of France's claims of victory. Even if it is true, France will not be able to rebuild a place that was destroyed by the war for a few years... The current situation is not imminent." Alan Wilson It means there is still time, at least there is still room to wait and see.

Let Lab Butler calm down for the time being, Alan Wilson thought about finding an opportunity to invite Her Highness the Princess to complete the manned spaceflight project.

Sometimes he also feels to himself that as the love-minded princess Margaret grows older, she actually begins to care about others and begins to consider some royal dignity.

The princess is still cute, but her growth process is a bit slow and she needs constant guidance from her brother-in-law.

The executive deputy director lowered his head and groped forward. Inspired by the conflicting forces in his chest, he put a dark and strong life into the fragmented passage. He could not express it, but It made him very satisfied and very happy.

They exchanged sighs of satisfaction. Princess Margaret gave satisfactory feedback to the Deputy Secretary for Personal Care, "I thought you had forgotten me."

"How could it be?" Alan Wilson reached out and touched his sister-in-law's hair. His love for the royal family should never be doubted at all. "It's just the recent war situation in France that has made the government more passive. It's unexpected. Our estimate.”

This is rare. Thinking of this, Princess Margaret put on her coat and turned around and said, "My brother-in-law, aren't you an official with a long-term vision? You always boast so much.

"

"That's true, but as long as you are a person, there will always be omissions. I am trying my best to make up for it." Alan Wilson said with a sudden look while holding a cigar in his mouth, "It's not just me, the cabinet is also trying to find a way. The military and Whitehall are all assessing the subsequent impacts and making suggestions from their own perspectives."

Even the long-abandoned British East African Federation plan has been proposed again, which shows that Britain is not as calm as it appears.

"You have a conscience." Princess Margaret snorted softly. Knowing that her brother-in-law also came here specially during his busy schedule, her expression calmed down and she stopped talking. Dressed neatly, the two walked out of the apartment, chatting about The expansion plan of the Windsor Castle Hotel seems normal.

Alan Wilson's newly replaced five agents are obviously much more reliable than the previous agents. I’m used to this! Just think that the princess has business matters and she needs to talk to the richest man's husband and ask for his opinion.

With a polite farewell, Alan Wilson went straight home to his sun as a sign of loyalty.

Pamela Mountbatten is already thinking about starting her own migratory bird plan and rushing to live in Perth before the weather gets cold. Listening to her husband educating her children, "As soon as a suspicious man appears next to your mother, do you know that you should tell your father immediately?"

Pamela Mountbatten rolled her eyes and said amusedly, "For God's sake, do you have so little confidence in me?"

"This is not a matter of belief or not, and it has nothing to do with God. It is purely a personal matter of mine." Alan Wilson put his hands on his waist and looked confident, "Fundamentally speaking, it is always right to be careful."

"Well, who made you my husband?" Pamela Mountbatten was no longer unable to accept her husband's pacifist approach, which had been the case for so many years. "It has spread all over France. This time De Gaulle has unquestionable authority, what should we do?”

"There is no concrete solution yet." As soon as Alan Wilson finished speaking, the phone rang. There were some things that he just couldn't resist talking about.

Pamela Mountbatten saw her husband directly, listened to the voice on the phone, and looked like a senior bureaucrat with supreme authority. She guessed that the call should be from Norman Brooke. If it was someone else, her husband would definitely not be like this. kind of performance.

Alan Wilson waited until he put down the phone before speaking, "Call from the cabinet secretary, something about France?"

"It's related, but it's mainly our own business." Alan Wilson thought for a moment and said, "Malta's offshore balancing role in North Africa has been valued by the cabinet. I also do overseas work."

When Pamela Mountbatten heard about offshore balance, she said helplessly, "It's a very old word."

"Don't regard tradition as obsolete." Alan Wilson laughed and said, "My dear, why not use the method if it works? After all, it has been proven for hundreds of years that this method is effective."

All nations and all arts have their hypocrisy. Most of mankind's food is lies, and there is only a very small amount of truth.

The human spirit is very weak and cannot bear pure truth; it must use its own religion, morality, politics, poets, and artists to wrap a layer of lies around the truth.

These lies are adapted to each nation and are different: the reason why it is so difficult for various nations to understand each other and so easy to despise each other is because of these lies.

The truth is the same for everyone, but every nation has its lies, and they all call them ideals; a person breathes these lies from birth to death, and lies become one of the conditions for survival; only a few are born with The genius can escape only after a heroic struggle and is not afraid of being isolated in his free realm of thought.

Therefore, this kind of thing cannot be said to be noble or despicable. Just because other countries know it well, the UK will not do it. From this time on, Malta's independence has officially come to an end.

Gibraltar in the west of the Mediterranean, Malta in the center, and Cyprus in the east are the arrangements made by the British to protect sea rights in the Mediterranean. Because the Suez Canal War did not break out and the canal was still open, this extremely important lifeline for Britain was still very important at this time.

The Mediterranean Fleet is still the largest fleet in the British Navy. When Alan Wilson received a call from Norman Brooke, he knew that his father-in-law's military opinions had been adopted by the current cabinet.

"The colonial state is not suitable if we want to maintain it for a long time." Alan Wilson said after arriving at No. 70 Whitehall and listening to Norman Brooke relaying the results of the cabinet meeting.

"The cabinet also has the same view. Malta has three hundred square kilometers and a population of 300,000." Norman Brooke said about the data about Malta, and then said, "The cabinet means that on the premise of ensuring that it is not independent, it will take a similar approach to Newfoundland." Of course, we must maintain a stable living condition.”

"I want to open free ports to southern Europe and develop offshore financial centers and transit stations. In addition, Malta itself has beautiful scenery. It should be good to develop tourism projects and the income from the British naval base." Alan Wilson doesn't mind. Newfoundland is mentioned again.

After all, it was an important and glorious experience in his life, but she never expected that Malta would become the second royal territory after Newfoundland. She had always thought it should be Northern Rhodesia.

Malta is located in the sea between Libya and Italy. As we all know, Italy has few oil resources, so it has always been interested in North Africa. In the Algerian War, it was still on the side of France.

Even though both countries are members of Latin countries, there are still conflicts in their treatment of North Africa. This does not mean that Italy will support France.

Broadly speaking, Germany also says that Britain is a member of the Germanic people, but only the Germans themselves think so.

Britain has never believed that it has anything to do with the so-called Great Germany. That is just wishful thinking on the part of the Germans.

Almost immediately, Alan Wilson had a whole set of ideas. He suddenly remembered that Libya's oil share was still 50/50. When dealing with Iran, he had forgotten about Libya. It was so far away that he didn't think of it.

Alan Wilson, who took on the new task, immediately decided to ask his wife whether Libya's oil share had changed. If not, he would take the opportunity to negotiate with the Kingdom of Libya.

"It's true that it hasn't been changed yet!" Pamela Mountbatten thought about it and picked up the phone to make a call. "Marina, is Libya's stone share still the original contract?"

Putting down the phone, Pamela Mountbatten nodded, "The Kingdom of Libya has been mentioned twice. The person in charge below has dealt with it. What do you want to do now?"

"Nothing else to do, celebrate the emergence of the second royal territory and formulate a development plan at the same time." Alan Wilson said with an inflated face, telling that the Newfoundland model was taken out by the cabinet and applied to Malta.

"How can I help?" Pamela Mountbatten took the initiative, feeling that she must have her own role.

"Imitate Singapore and use Malta as an oil refining center between North Africa and Southern Europe." Alan Wilson replied, "I'm going to conduct an inspection soon to determine the local living standards and employment population to see if this is necessary. Maybe not. "
