Chapter 822 Juba Talks
Joseph Agu appeared again, unchanged from last time, except for a change of clothes. The purpose has not changed. I want to get the promise of partition from Alan Wilson.
He also knows that he does not have many cards in his hand and must satisfy some of Britain's interests to achieve his goal. In the past few days, he has figured out that compared to the British who are far away, the Arabs are more terrifying.
"The colonel's sharp thinking is rare among black people." Alan Wilson started to praise Joseph Agu from the perspective of racial discrimination.
Joseph Agu didn't know whether he was facing praise or ridicule, his dark face was changing, but he had to lower his head under the eaves and could only mutter, "Mr. Wilson is too polite."
Joseph Agou is very unhappy now when he is scolded but still has to smile. However, he still needs the support of the United Kingdom, so he can only pretend not to hear. "We know the Arabs very well and are not willing to coexist in the same country with them."
"This judgment is correct." Alan Wilson praised, "You have a small number and a weak culture. Once you stay in a country with Arabs, you will only end up being marginalized. I have always respected the Arabs, they are The greatest enemy of Christendom before the Industrial Revolution.”
Alan Wilson even believed that the Peace Cult civilization in the agricultural era was in a position of inferiority to other civilizations. The Arabs created the Peace Religion and spread it throughout Eurasia in less than a hundred years. Persia was originally the territory of the Sect, the Near East was originally the territory of the Orthodox Church, South Asia was the territory of the Hindus, and the vicinity of Central Asia was originally the radiation belt of Buddhism and Confucianism. North Africa and Spain are predominantly Catholic.
But what happened in the end? The Peace Sect defeated all these opponents. If India had not been colonized by the British later, the Peace Sect might have been the territory of the Peace Sect from the Strait of Gibraltar to Southeast Asia.
The Peace Cult expanded at a rate that dwarfed even the Christian countries in Europe during the agricultural era, defeating more than one powerful civilization. Therefore, in Africa, it will be easier, not harder, to deal with a group of black people who are noobs pecking each other.
"I want to know what price we will pay if we allow Britain to divide Sudan?" Joseph Agu asked.
"It may take a little longer to become independent. About five years. Of course, this is outside my power. It is my estimate." Alan Wilson said, "First of all, South Sudan will go through a period of co-governance. The colonial government and the party you formed jointly manage South Sudan. In this process, Colonel Joseph can first learn how to manage a country. To be fair, this is no more difficult than independence."
"Five years?" Joseph Agu frowned, "Does that mean that if partition occurs, South Sudan will be five years late from independence?"
"This is responsible for South Sudan. Independence is just the beginning. If Colonel Joseph feels that there is not much difference between a newly independent country and a colony, then he can just say nothing, but I would like to remind you. Although we are not like the French He is tough, but he also doesn’t like politicians who don’t cooperate with the British.”
Alan Wilson lowered his voice and said, "In principle, we hope that everyone can live a long and healthy life, but there are always accidents in the world."
Is he threatening me? This was Joseph Agu's intuitive reaction, but he immediately retorted, "Mr. Wilson, this is my territory, and my Equator Corps is nearby."
"What is your territory? This is the territory of the British Empire." Alan Wilson laughed. "Maybe this will be your territory in the future, but it is your territory if the UK gives it to you. If the UK doesn't give it to you, you can't take it away."
"I want to discuss it with everyone." Joseph Agu did not refuse, although the British guy in front of him spoke very rudely.
But now it is obvious that the British will definitely leave. The difference is whether to leave immediately or wait a few years. But once the British left, the Arabs became a big problem.
Given the current situation in Sudan, if the British do not partition the country, South Sudan will soon be marginalized once independent. Therefore, for black people in South Sudan, Arabs are a greater threat.
Joseph Agu said he wanted to go back and think about it, while Alan Wilson continued to recover, relying on Hedy Lamarr to help him sweat. The feeling of weakness in his body has been eliminated, and he is just an actress who worked hard to provide logistical support.
"It looks like the conversation was going well, and the body is strong." Hedy Lamarr turned her back to the man with satisfaction, exposing her smooth back, and took the opportunity to clean up her body.
"The United Kingdom is far away, and the Arabs are close at hand. Most countries will choose this way." Alan Wilson said with confidence, "So the Soviet Union's neighbors are afraid of it, but the neighbors of the United Kingdom are not necessarily afraid of it."
"Except the French." Hedy Lamarr turned around and smiled slightly.
"Except..." Alan Wilson pursed his lips and compensated, "even the French."
A few days later, Joseph Agu returned again and expressed South Sudan's final attitude, "We want to be independent from the Arabs. As long as Britain can guarantee this, other things can be discussed."
"Very good." Alan Wilson agreed immediately, "So Colonel Joseph, are you willing to wait for some time for this? If so, I have an idea. While the British army can still control the situation in Sudan, South Sudan can conduct a Referendum. Of course I am willing to work hard to achieve this and create a fait accompli.”
"Okay!" Joseph Agu nodded in agreement, and then asked, "What is the issue of the referendum?"
"Are South Sudanese black people willing to exist in a country with Arabs?" Alan Wilson is full of confidence. "I believe that the result of the referendum will be satisfactory."
The result of the referendum can be predicted now, and it is 100% certain that the result that the UK wants will come out. Even Alan Wilson has thought that a reasonable excuse to make South Sudan independent of Khartoum's management can also kill two birds with one stone and win the approval of the United States.
The reason lies in the black slave trade. The Arabs also engaged in the black slave trade. For the black people in South Sudan, in the 19th century, the Arabs in the north began to hunt down the black people in the south and sell slaves. Hatred is born from this.
The slave trade was a highly profitable business. In the 19th century, European colonists flocked to Sudan to open commercial companies. They provided large quantities of weapons to the Arabs in North Sudan and encouraged them to round up black people.
In the face of huge economic interests, the Arabs could not resist the temptation, so they organized armed hunting teams and carried out inhumane arrests of black people in the south, causing a large number of families to be separated and destroyed.
It originated in the United States, but the people who practiced it were Arabs. The object of black hatred was not the European and American countries they had never seen before, but the Arabs who organized armed slave-hunting teams.
On the issue of black slaves, the United States, the beacon of the world at this moment, will not oppose the partition of South Sudan. The racial discrimination against black people in the United States is another matter, but the slave trade has been politically incorrect since the Civil War.
As long as public opinion is used to remind black people in South Sudan of the past, I believe that once the referendum begins, the support for South Sudan's independence will not be 100%, but 99%.
Now that I have obtained the guarantee from Joseph Agu, it is impossible not to sign a secret agreement in black and white. The content of the secret agreement is that once South Sudan votes to become independent from Khartoum's management, it will not seek independence from the United Kingdom within five years. The British military presence in South Sudan will remain as usual, and all interests will be protected by South Sudan.
Joseph Agu agreed to all these terms, and Alan Wilson began to send telegrams to John to inform him of the results of his arrival in Juba and to discuss the next step.
"It is now obvious that the black people in South Sudan also want to be independent from Khartoum. The referendum on partition is a way to solve the problem, allowing Arabs and black people to be independent separately, which is listed as the established policy of Sudan's independence. Now The problem is that we need to trick the Arab leaders into coming to Juba in the name of discussing the future of Sudan, and at the same time start pushing for a South Sudanese independence referendum. If possible, let the back of the US office in Khartoum Ambassador, bear witness.”
In Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, John, the commissioner of the British Sudan, took Alan Wilson's telegram, carefully understood the meaning of the telegram, and then fell into deep thought.
Alan Wilson's cable showed that South Sudan's independence from Khartoum was not a popular issue. Otherwise, Zhongyong would not have such a firm tone in the telegram.
"Inform me of Ismail Azari of the Brotherhood Party and Abdur Rahman Al-Mahdi of the National People's Party that in order to safeguard the territorial integrity of Sudan, the UK is willing to come forward to conduct a demarcation of North and South Sudan in Juba. Negotiate and discuss the future of the country together."
Soon, the negotiations to negotiate North and South Sudan in Juba became known to Ismail Azari and Abd Rahman al-Mahdi, who quickly convened the fraternal parties and the people of the country Supporters of the party discuss what medicine the British sell in the gourd.
While the two were discussing, John entered the U.S. representative office in Khartoum as the Sudanese commissioner. It is hoped that the United States can serve as a friendly force to witness Britain's painstaking efforts in handling the issue of Sudan's independence.
Of course the Americans wanted this, and the head of the representative office, York Kidston, was very happy. He believed that this was a testimony of Britain's recognition of American influence. He agreed and expressed his willingness to appear at the Juba talks to assist Britain in dealing with the issue of Sudanese independence. .
"Thank you to the United States for supporting the United Kingdom in this position." John sneered in his heart, but still thanked him calmly.
At the same time, Colonel Joseph Agu of the South Sudan Equator Corps was running around the land of South Sudan, reminding the black people of South Sudan not to forget the hatred of the Arabs for trafficking in black people.
Soon all parties agreed that they should have a good talk, and it was decided to hold talks in Juba a week later to discuss the future of North and South Sudan.
Ismail Azari and Abdur Rahman Mahdi, representing the Brothers Party and the National People's Party respectively, set off for Juba, along with the head of the U.S. Representative Office York Kidston , Commissioner John of the Sudan.
A few days later, in Juba, the capital of South Sudan, representatives from all parties had arrived, exchanging information and waiting for the talks to begin.
