Chapter 668 DC-Three Passenger Planes Missing
Mid-1952 was destined to be a time worth remembering for supporters of Pan-Africanism.
When the Air France DC-3 passenger plane was transiting to French Africa, the leader of the Gold Coast United Congress Party, Kwame Nkrumah, and other senior officials disappeared into the blue sky after transiting in Algiers.
No one knew that inside the DC-3 passenger plane flying over the Sahara Desert, there was a suitcase that took away everyone's lives. This suitcase that was quietly put on the plane would bring the passengers and crew members on the plane with them. The arms of death.
Thirty-two minutes after takeoff, at an altitude of 11,000 feet in the vast Sahara desert, the plane suddenly exploded. The plane exploded into a ball of fire and the wreckage fell, leaving a crater fifty feet deep and ninety feet long.
It is impossible for anyone to survive an explosion of this intensity, not to mention that even if someone is lucky enough to survive, their lives will be taken away by the ensuing high temperature.
Long before the plane took off, Marina and Savievich, who had set off from Paris and Cairo respectively to meet in Algiers, had already left Algiers respectively. It was very likely that in the Balkans, they would escape immediately if they missed a hit. The essence of guerrilla warfare.
"The sun is shining on the Mediterranean!" Alan Wilson, who received this brief telegram, knew that the action had begun.
If the factors of slight probability are excluded, Nkrumah should have said goodbye to this world. Judging from the explosion time of the time bomb, the plane should have crashed in the desert between Algeria and Mali.
"Wow!" Alan Wilson couldn't help but feel relieved after letting go of something on his mind. He poured a glass of red wine to celebrate with Grace, "My friend Grace, thank you very much for your help."
"Airplanes are still unsafe. It seems that the passenger planes we have must be inspected frequently in the future. Otherwise, it would be unjust if someone did the same to me." Grace took the wine glass and said with emotion.
"It's not unjust, but I agree to do more maintenance!" Alan Wilson clinked a drink with the other party with a flick of his wrist, and changed the subject, "But this isolated incident was mainly due to the long-term disrepair of the DC-3 passenger plane. None of us want to see a tragedy, so choosing a safe means of transportation is extremely important."
The final outcome of this matter is uncertain. Before the wreckage is found, it can only be judged based on a disappearance case.
As for whether the plane wreckage can be found, it depends on whether the plane crashed in the Gobi or the desert. If it happens to be a sand dune, it only takes a few days for a storm to cause the sand dunes to move, and almost all traces can be covered up.
Generally speaking, if the most favorable outcome for Britain occurs, it is estimated that the wreckage of the plane will never be found in the future, and nature will help the culprits erase all traces.
"Alan, can you suppress the independence movement on the Gold Coast?" Grace asked drunkenly. He was still very concerned about how long Britain could maintain its colonial system.
"I can't suppress it, but I try to buy time for Northern Rhodesia." Alan Wilson shook his wine glass and analyzed sincerely, "To be honest, based on the proportion of white people in South Africa and Rhodesia, maybe In the end, you, Northern Rhodesia, are the last bastion of white African settlers.”
Giving the Chetnik's future leader a clear answer means that Grace might as well think more. Can you help the other two white colonists' fortresses to hold on longer while you gain a foothold yourself?
Such constructive suggestions naturally aroused Grace's interest. How to occupy Northern Rhodesia for a long time has always been a matter of concern to him.
"If the United Kingdom wants to build a nuclear bomb silo, if you can maintain the population advantage of Northern Rhodesia at that time, maybe it can be completed." Alan Wilson said openly that the most trustworthy weapon in the world is the nuclear bomb.
In the end, the white South African government put all its hopes on nuclear weapons.
And it's almost successful.
As for South Africa's two main partners in developing nuclear weapons, one is Israel and the other is Scam Island. South Africa's main advantage over the other two partners is that it has abundant uranium deposits.
Towards the end of World War II, South Africa began exporting uranium. A small portion of this also went on to supply the Manhattan Project.
In 1948, South Africa passed an act of parliament to establish the Atomic Energy Commission, which was fully responsible for nuclear energy research and development. The United States agreed to provide technology to South Africa and promised to help train scientific researchers and reactor technicians. This has laid a good foundation for the development of civilian nuclear energy in South Africa.
At this point, the United States is much more interested in South Africa than the United Kingdom. This difference is because South Africa is still the world's main supplier of gold, and gold is extremely important under the Breston Woods system.
As for Britain, it is just a outdated world hegemon. If the threat from the Soviet Union had not been too great, the first step for the United States to finish World War II would be to take advantage of the situation and package up Britain and France.
However, before South Africa entered substantive steps, the United States cut off its support for South Africa. At the same time, the United States also parachuted into Swindle Island and abolished Swindle Island's nuclear project.
Grace could understand that what Alan Wilson meant was that Northern Rhodesia could remain part of the UK.
In the future, the UK may cover Northern Rhodesia with a nuclear umbrella to ensure the security of Northern Rhodesia.
Another premise is that Northern Rhodesia must maintain a white-majority structure, and Britain must have no interest in protecting a black country.
The disappearance of the DC-3 passenger plane over the Sahara finally became known to some people two days later. Nkrumah, the leader of the Gold Coast United Congress Party, has not returned yet, which worries the top leaders of the United Congress Party in the area.
This was already explained in Davis's telegram, and Alan Wilson's reply stated that in accordance with the procedures, he would take the lead in forming a transnational investigation report, and finally inform the Gold Coast United Congress Party of the speculation.
Cross-border investigation is a prerequisite and must not be omitted, because once different countries are involved, it is easy to blame each other. The UK said the responsibility lies with the Algiers transit station, while France can blame the DC-3 passenger plane.
If the wreckage of the DC-3 passenger plane is accidentally found, it means that it has encountered an abnormal magnetic field. If not, it will be said that the DC-3 passenger plane is in disrepair. Finally, an investigation report of an in-flight disintegration will be produced.
Davis very much approved of this plan and said with a heavy heart that he would come up with a responsible response and start a truth investigation. As for the investigation results, it was nothing more than a short circuit in the wire that caused the fire, or the engine was hit by a bird.
Of course, the first step is to appease the local leaders of the United Congress Party. The consensus between the two is to focus on attacking Nkrumah’s Pan-Africanist supporters and, if possible, marginalizing the Pan-Africanists. .
As for Alan Wilson himself, he was busy with another thing and was simply using Grace, the future leader of the Chetniks, as a cattle, because Alan Wilson himself was hiding in the embassy and unwilling to come forward.
Grace replaced Alan Wilson and was responsible for handing over his own investigation report on the Free Officers to King Farouk I of Egypt. He stated that the level of danger could no longer be solved by investigation and that members of the Free Officers Organization must be arrested. Since Farouk I knew the existence of this organization, he should make an immediate decision.
"His Majesty the Great King, this is not the time to show mercy to the Free Officers Organization, which has harmed Egypt's status as the leader of the Arab world. The British investigation revealed that this organization may be planning a coup." Grace arrived at the residence of Farouk I After entering the palace, he expressed his determination to strike hard.
"But if there is no reason, how can I convince the Egyptian people?" Farouk I hesitated.
"Many kings fell into this kind of hesitation, wanting to express enlightenment and maintain authority, so they gave some opportunities." Grace said calmly, "This is how the Kingdom of Yugoslavia disappeared. I hope Egypt will be next. As for the crime, the Free Officers Organization is an organization developed by Israel to subvert Egypt. Funds are provided by Israel. However, most of the groups are deceived by their leaders, and then the leaders are severely punished, and ordinary members are punished. If he is pardoned, the survivors will be grateful to Dane and let them have a meeting, and then they will be able to explain to the Egyptian people."
When it came to the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, Grace's attitude suddenly became very complicated. Even if there was a language barrier, Faruk I suddenly felt that the foreigner in front of him was very sincere.
While communicating with Egypt, the disappearance of the DC-3 passenger plane was finally reported to London by Gold Coast Commissioner Davis. London attached great importance to this and asked Davis to communicate with France to launch an investigation into the disappearance. A joint investigation.
London's instructions were exactly what Alan Wilson had judged, and Davis, who already had a draft, immediately said there was no problem. I will immediately contact French Algeria and French Mali to ask the local colonial governments to assist in finding the whereabouts of the DC-3 passenger plane.
The hearts of the people of the Gold Coast are heavy. They have lost a leader. Even Davis and the British colonial government are also very sad. The alcohol inventory in the administrative office has dropped a lot that day. The people of the Gold Coast are deeply saddened by the loss of their leader. The colonial government is also very sad. readers also feel the same way.
However, as members of the civilized world, they will not express their grief and can only numb themselves with alcohol. It seems that this is the only way to alleviate the pain in my heart.
boom! During the exchange of cups, the colonists in the Administrative Office came up with a consensus to make persistent efforts to completely defeat Nkrumah's supporters and replace them with moderate parties.
