Chapter 907 The Light of God Is All Around Me
The elites in Lagos gave warm applause to More Roxton and Azikwe on the stage, completely unaware of the so-called second Persian Gulf. They just drew a pie to encourage them.
The colonial commissioners on the second floor were facing the podium from a high position, each with a calm smile.
"Actually, this method can be replicated many times. Of course we don't want to leave in principle, but if one day we have to leave, remember to create an environment that is favorable to us." Alan Wilson said to his colleagues.
"Understood, Secretary-General Allen." The gentlemen laughed loudly, saying nothing.
In fact, Alan Wilson did not deceive Nigerians. There are no oil resources now, but as long as there is time to explore, they will definitely be there. In addition to relying on agriculture in the Niger River Basin, Nigeria will rely on oil exports to create foreign exchange.
A wide range of potential resources in African colonies have not yet been fully explored, but even decades later, the theory of resources being nearby will still hold true in Africa. The places where resources are discovered are usually where the local population is the largest.
As far as he knows, the interior of Nigeria has not been developed much in the 21st century. It is consistent with the population distribution of the Nigerian Dominion at this time, indicating that most of the potential resources are also developed according to the current population distribution.
The thunderous applause downstairs will definitely not be in vain, and Nigeria will not suffer any losses.
And now Alan Wilson can take advantage of the huge oil resources in the Gulf of Guinea to attract international hot money and defraud him. This is what Moll Roxton is worried about. He is afraid that the husband of this female CEO will take advantage of the non-existent oil resources. Petroleum resources doodle pie.
The Nigerian Dominion's book funds are far from being able to carry out such a large-scale construction, and Alan Wilson has no choice. He always has to seek funds to complete the plan. He does not want other colonies to share the funds, and he cannot ask the cabinet for funding? So what to do? All we can do is lie and sneak attack...
Everyone is happy about this cooperation signing. The Dominion of Nigeria is happy, and the colonial commissioner is also happy. Moore Roxton may not be happy now, but he will understand in the future. God’s light is with me, and when the oil resources in the Gulf of Guinea are discovered, nothing will be a problem.
Just as he was about to open the champagne to celebrate the stage victory, Radwich opened the door, walked up to him and whispered, "The colonel has just arrived at Grace and wants to meet Mr. Wilson."
"This nickname is really..." Alan Wilson couldn't help shaking his head after hearing this, "I will go later and let Grace wait."
Having lived in Northern Rhodesia for ten years, these Slavs still use military management. Perhaps because of Mikhailovich's increasing age, they have begun to focus on cultivating their successors. It is obvious that Grace is The next leader, Tenik, also had the nickname of colonel.
I had two drinks with my colleagues.
Alan Wilson made a phone call to the apartment and drove back.
"Mrs. Heidi, excuse me." Grace, who came to the door, walked directly to the bedroom door in front of Alan Wilson and knocked on the door as a greeting, indicating that he knew Hedy Lamarr was here. .
Then he sat down in front of Alan Wilson and said, "Alan, knowing that you are coming to Africa, I immediately boarded a plane and came to Lagos, just to talk to you about what I said last time."
"What did you say last time?" Alan Wilson pretended to be profound and thought about it for a moment, but couldn't think of anything. "What happened?"
"Regarding the issue of demarcation of Northern Rhodesia, the whole of Northern Rhodesia is like a barbell, which can easily be cut off in the middle, which is not conducive to our defense work." Grace brought up the old story again, obviously expressing concern for the Slavic people in Northern Rhodesia. For people, this kind of demarcation that is difficult to defend has become their consensus.
"What do you want me to do? White people are a minority in Africa as a whole. Although you are Slavs, in the eyes of black people, who cares what your nationality is? I only know you as white people. If you start to rob, Britain will not say anything. Opposition is considered support, at least that's how black people see it. Besides, the place you want is the territory of the Belgian Congo. Are you going to grab it? At least now is not the time."
If this were just a multiple-choice question without consequences, Britain would certainly be willing to support white interests in Africa. But this multiple-choice question is not without consequences.
In original history, the independence of Rhodesia is an obvious example. British immigrants in Rhodesia drove away British officials to force independence because they felt that Rhodesia could not gain British support under apartheid.
It is true that the British immigrants in Rhodesia and the British mainland have homogeneous feelings, but compared with the perception of black Africa as a whole, hundreds of thousands of white immigrants are still not worth having Britain stand against the black group.
“Although we have been sending people to recruit Yugoslavs to flee and come to live in Northern Rhodesia, the population of Northern Rhodesia has just exceeded 500,000. We have no way to encircle Northern Rhodesia with landmines. There are people checking the border every day, so we don’t have to do anything.”
Grace told her difficulties, "My father asked me to lead Chetnik. Not everyone is convinced. I also need something to convince everyone to prove myself."
"I can only wait, there is no other way. Of course I am willing to help, but this requires a chance. This involves the interests of colonial countries and strategic issues. It is not that I can do whatever I want. It is not a British colony, no Just grab a piece of land in Malawi and deal with the British commissioner."
Seeing that Groes still wanted to talk, Alan Wilson explained, "Belgium is greatly influenced by France. You are in Africa, have you not heard about the Algerian War?"
"What does it matter?" Although Grace is the designated successor of a military organization like Chetnik, it does not mean that the strategic vision is far-reaching. In the original Yugoslavia, they did not have such a high-level perspective to view problems.
"The British and French colonial strategies are different. France's Algerian War will largely determine the future of Africa. Once the French colonial system loosens in Africa, the stability of the Belgian Congo will definitely be affected. This depends on the Belgians. It’s time to make a choice, and if you talk to the local elites, there will be no problem.”
"But Belgium and France should have the same reaction. If this is the case, there will be armed conflict in the Belgian Congo for a period of time. Each major colony has a certain white population. I don't know how many white people there are in the Belgian Congo. It is definitely not as good as There is a community of one million immigrants like in Algeria, but there should be some. When war breaks out, the white immigrants in the Belgian Congo, are they just like you when you were desperate?"
"We take advantage of the chaos to contact the Belgians? Give them a promise of protection, and then let them take the land near Lubumbashi and incorporate it into Northern Rhodesia?"
Snapped! Alan Wilson snapped his fingers and nodded, "That's what it means. If there are 100,000 immigrants from the Belgian Congo, you have to give up some rights and interests. You can't monopolize everything, right? It's up to you." After thinking about it, this also involves another thing.”
"If the commissioner has something to say, he can say it directly. The fact that I came to Lagos is sincere." After hearing that there was something in Alan Wilson's words, Geless asked directly.
"You have said before that you want to apply to become a royal territory. I remind you again that according to the example of Newfoundland, the royal territory cannot be independent. Just like the United Kingdom, Her Majesty the Queen must be the monarch."
Grace nodded and said, "We have such a small population, and we need the support of the British to gain a foothold surrounded by black people."
"It would be great if you could be clear about it, but I'm not stressing anything. Before you get the Lubumbashi area of the Belgian Congo, don't turn it into a royal territory." Alan Wilson reminded, "Otherwise, you will When annexing land, other countries may think that it was ordered by the British. When everything is settled, if I have the ability, I will represent the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and negotiate with Northern Rhodesia on the conditions for it to become a royal territory."
At least for now, Grace accepted this explanation. Then Alan Wilson would talk about asking the other party to help, "Most of the British garrison in the Nigerian Dominion have withdrawn. Can you lend me some people to supervise the development?" Didn’t you help with the progress of the Niger Delta when we were in Newfoundland?”
The troops stationed in the Dominion of Nigeria have now become British troops stationed in Australia, and Alan Wilson cannot let them come back.
Groes kept talking about Chetnik's next leader, the leader of a military organization, and it shouldn't be too much to ask for some armed personnel.
"This?" Geless was a little embarrassed. The population of Northern Rhodesia was only so small, so it was okay to say that there were only a small number of people.
"What if the Americans know that you grow opium poppies and then sell them to the United States?" Alan Wilson said calmly, "Of course I am not threatening anything. My wife's group has also contributed a lot to the development of Northern Rhodesia. .The days of our cooperation are still long.”
"How many people are needed..." Grace simply asked Alan Wilson to count.
"One or two thousand people are enough. There are still some garrison troops in the Dominion, and the total is barely enough." Alan Wilson replied happily, "You see, smart people like us don't mean to find the right answer, but to find the right question. "
The Mountbatten Group claims to have discovered the second Persian Gulf. This blockbuster news is enough to change the world's crude oil market. In the context of the economic crisis, it is particularly dazzling, and it simply shines like gold coins.
More Roxton, an expert who discovered North Sea oil, personally endorsed it, drawing everyone's attention to the Gulf of Guinea, the former center of the slave trade.
The funding gap for development in the Dominion of Nigeria lies with these greedy people.
