"Of course!" Representatives from other countries said in unison, pointing out the poverty and backwardness of overseas territories and that they must have basic self-management and economic circulation to be truly independent.
Alan Wilson smiled as he listened to the complaints from the representatives of these countries. To be honest, he did not expect that the law of crow standing on pig would appear so soon. Even if he came to complain about the third world, he might not be able to find so many words.
In essence, this meeting was not intended to bind another country present. The proposal put forward by Alan Wilson was actually used to restrain the United Kingdom.
As we all know, Britain was the first country in Europe to allow its colonies to become independent, almost following the trend.
Efforts to protect Britain's traditional influence in the colonies were mostly concentrated before the Suez War. After the Nassau Agreement of 1962, even superficial works were not carried out.
The collapse of British Africa first inevitably affected other European countries. Just as the Soviet Union collapsed and socialism in Eastern Europe was doomed to collapse, Britain could no longer stand it, and neither could other European colonial countries.
Historically, Britain was the first to be unable to withstand the situation, so this meeting is to come up with a framework for common advancement and retreat. Then either let the colonies become independent at the same time, or neither. No colonial country, including Britain, should be tempted to jump ship first.
The first day of the meeting had set the tone for the next few days. After the meeting, Markins listened to Alan Wilson’s proposition and said with some arrogance, “This is not about putting us, the UK, in the same position as other countries. Are you on board?"
"Dear Lord, discussions with equal status will ultimately lead to nothing being discussed." Alan Wilson said with a proud smile on his face, "This person is so talkative. Every country has different ideas, and no one will be able to retreat at that time." Come out. The French want to fully Frenchize their overseas territories. God knows how long it will take them to do it. I don’t think they can even think about it in 30 to 50 years."
"Where are the Portuguese? Anyway, I remember that the Portuguese government does not recognize colonies, and in the current subcontinent, Goa is developing quite well because of the high-quality iron ore in Goa. The Portuguese are profitable in Goa. , quitting is easier said than done?”
Alan Wilson mentioned the attitudes of several countries. As far as Portugal is concerned, as long as Salazar does not die, there should be nothing to worry about. Salazar had at least twenty more years to live. It was already the 1970s, and we had enough money.
"In this way, if we want to give up a colony in the future, we have to take into account the attitudes of other countries." Makins asked with a slight frown.
"Yeah!" Alan Wilson smiled and nodded. The main purpose of this framework is to fit Britain into it.
Of course, the current UK will not think anything is wrong. At this moment, the UK is still trying its best to maintain its influence and will not think about the free movement of the UK in the future.
"The overseas colonial commissioners are very eager for me to get this thing done." Alan Wilson said with an attitude of moving forward with a heavy burden, "I can't live up to the expectations of my colleagues."
This was the position that the colonial commissioners had already decided on at the Zanzibar Conference. It was only formally proposed at the Brussels meeting, which also represents the collective interests of overseas civil servants.
A package plan on how to develop Africa, support education and enrich culture and entertainment was the main discussion agenda of the second day's meeting. No demand creates demand.
The UK's thinking on this is that starting from the sports aspect, Africa has been at the bottom of the world for hundreds of years, and its self-esteem has become extremely fragile. In theory, it is easiest to stimulate self-esteem through sports competition.
As for the French, they said they would definitely promote financial support for French. Alan Wilson concurs. The French have always been obsessed with promoting the French language.
Not to mention the long history of European court languages, culturally, France has been sparing no effort to protect and expand the field of French, and has constantly introduced French standards.
Ensure the purity and accuracy of France, while relying on political manipulation to ensure that the majority of quasi-colonies use French as the official language.
People think that French is widely used in diplomacy and the legal field because French is precise, however this is not the case. French is actually much more ambiguous than English. But this also happens to be the advantage of French.
Diplomatic laws are never precise; they require a lot of room for ambiguity. When diplomatic rhetoric and legal provisions are ambiguous, they must rely on the agency where they are located for interpretation. The right to interpret gives them an advantage. This is why French is so popular in diplomatic situations.
Simply put, it is a good language for expressing your speech skills. The French are obsessed with promoting French, and even abolished the Vietnamese variant of Chinese characters and re-created an alphabet system, which shows how general it is.
However, regarding the Vietnam incident alone, Alan Wilson does not think that the French did anything wrong, nor does he think that the alphabetization of Vietnamese characters will cause much trouble.
As a very mature language, French is a piece of cake if you want to create a set of words for a nation.
The disadvantage of Vietnamese alphabetization only exists on the Internet of a certain big country. Its main function is to find a reason to laugh at Vietnamese people.
The real problem is that immature writing causes problems in Korean. The attitudes towards South Korea and Vietnam are different, which fully reflects the distaste for the poor and the love for the rich.
The minutes of this meeting on colonial development were, of course, not surprisingly handed over to the French for publication. Alan Wilson believes that the French will definitely come up with a public declaration full of rhetoric.
The public declaration, in principle, is that the six countries of Britain, France, Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands have noticed the needs of overseas territories and are working on improvements. As for how to improve it, people in overseas territories currently don’t need to know.
Each country also has its own development plan. This meeting is just a joint declaration, but it will not interfere with what the colonial countries do. Its main function is to restrain the interests of other colonial countries and not ignore the interests of other colonial countries and allow overseas countries to be unilateral and irresponsible. Before such a decision can be made to make the territory independent, it must obtain the understanding of other colonial powers, especially Britain and France, who must understand each other.
Regarding the British development plan alone, Alan Wilson was inclined to develop real estate and use African resources to support the industrialization of Malaya. Subsequently, the capitals of the major colonies would appear, with a city with good hardware in return.
Anyway, it is not a large-scale urbanization construction. A colony leaves a city, which is absolutely innocent. To show that Britain played a window role in colonial construction, this is enough. Don’t say then that Britain has nothing left for the colonies!
On the last day of 1950, Pamela Mountbatten, who knew that Alan Wilson was in Brussels, came here to celebrate the New Year with her fiancé. As the most well-known pacesetter in transforming the earth in Europe, Pamela Mountbatten naturally Received courtesy from many people.
The French, in particular, are very enthusiastic about Pamela Mountbatten's Libya development plan and have expressed their support for this development at the government level.
"I heard that Miss Mountbatten's exploration company has obtained the exploration rights in the North Sea. Alan, do you know?" Markins, who was with Alan Wilson, looked at the very popular Pamela Mountbatten and asked in a low voice .
Of course I know, I was the one who asked her to do this. Alan Wilson tilted his head and looked at Makins, shook his head firmly and asked, "Can oil be developed in the North Sea? Is it a mistake? There is such a big storm."
"I thought you knew!" Maxkins shook his head, "It seems you have no inside information to give me."
"I'm really sorry. I'm not asking about the Mountbatten family's wealth." Alan Wilson looked pitiful as if his son-in-law was having a hard time eating, but his expression immediately returned to normal, which made Makins even more imaginative and embarrassed. Keep asking.
After a while, Pamela Mountbatten, draped in fur, walked over and walked straight towards Alan Wilson. She also said hello to Markins, "Lord Sheffield, how are you doing lately?"
"Fortunately, I won't disturb you anymore." Makins nodded slightly and left the express delivery to the couple.
"What do you think of my fur suit? Isn't it beautiful!" Pamela Mountbatten immediately came up to her as soon as she saw the others leaving.
"The main thing is to see who wears it." Alan Wilson looked at Pamela Mountbatten and said meaningfully, "It's so touching that you can come to Brussels."
"This is what I should do!" Pamela Mountbatten directly held her fiancé's hand, and then whispered, "I have news that is related to you and the Americans!"
"Huh?" Alan Wilson was a little confused. He would have the opportunity to appear in a sentence with an American. The only person he knew was Vivien Leigh who was still in the United States. Thinking of this, Alan Wilson swallowed unconsciously and tentatively said, "What's up?"
"You also know that not everyone has left India. A very small number of British people are working for the Indian government. According to our information, New Delhi seems to want to confiscate the Mysore iron ore in a recent meeting."
When Pamela Mountbatten spoke, Alan Wilson breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that his relationship with the British treasure was not discovered. He said nonchalantly, "A big and powerful country seems to think that after two defeats by the US military, it can do whatever it wants. But what? Now is really a good opportunity."
The United States has fallen into a war that, at least for now, is unfavorable. Having no time to withdraw at this time is indeed a very good opportunity. If the United States puts pressure on India because of an iron mine, the Soviet Union will definitely be very happy.
"Do you think New Delhi really dares?" Pamela Mountbatten asked, "Does this mean that my industry in India is also in danger?"
"No, not in the pharmaceutical industry. Iron ore is really important to a country." Alan Wilson thought for a moment and said, "As for your question about whether you dare, I think you really dare."
