British Civil Servant

When Alan Wilson was still in Moscow, he repeated Bibi about Asia and Africa at the same time as a repeater every day.

At the British Embassy, ​​the Permanent Undersecretary sent telegrams to Northern Rhodesia several times, telling Grace that it was impossible for the two superpowers to fight. Quick decision.

"Start laying mines 20 kilometers north of Lubumbashi. Drive out all the aborigines." Grace greeted his subordinates and ordered, "Let me out all the landmines accumulated over the years."

Having been rooted in Northern Rhodesia for more than ten years, these Slavs have also developed some armaments, such as the mine-laying vehicle, the mine-laying vehicle of Northern Rhodesia, which looks like the Katyusha rocket launcher used by the Soviet Union in World War II.

This mine-laying vehicle can launch 208 anti-tank mines at one time, and the launch efficiency of conventional mines is even higher. It is a housekeeping equipment accumulated over many years of development in Northern Rhodesia. The mine goes from the mine storage rack to the conveyor belt; the output mechanism guarantees the mine distance; the conversion mechanism makes the mine enter the combat state.

The whole process is automatic. No operator assistance is required. Combined with heavy trucks that transport mines, a 20-kilometer area can be turned into a minefield in one day.

In order to speed up the efficiency, the mine-laying vehicles in Northern Rhodesia have already been concentrated, and Lubumbashi has stored a large amount of mines as the raw materials for the mine-laying vehicles.

In the entire location north of Lubumbashi, the scene of the goddess scattered flowers appears all the time, and even sometimes, there will be explosions, and the fired mines will be shaken and exploded directly.

But on the whole, it can be said to be orderly, and the tribe that was driven out, saw this scene from a distance, and immediately hesitated. As early as when Tshombo was assassinated, Grace tore off the disguise and began to drive northward from his mind. Black tribes that belong to their own territory.

At this time, these people have no warmth to speak of, and they really can't let these elm heads leave if they don't start killing. Ordinary colonists would not dare to do this, for fear of causing disgust from the vast majority of people, but these ruthless men from the Balkans did so.

"It needs to be faster!" Grace took the binoculars to supervise the efficiency of Bree, and commanded deeply, "You can't just focus on speed, and if you don't really kill a group of people, maybe those black people will come back. Separate it, put up a warning sign, and don't let the Lubumbashi people approach this place in the future."

"Don't worry, Colonel, all five million mines will be fired in a week at most." The officer who followed Grace was full of confidence.

"Five million is only temporarily enough, and mines need to be replenished every year." Grace shook his head slightly, "In order for us to be stable and free from racial problems for a long time, these investments are now cost-effective. Don't be like South Africans. The black people are slaves, and the black people are not required to resist. The memory in Yugoslavia tells us that there will be big problems in the future."

The population of Northern Rhodesia is only 600,000 to 700,000, but there is no time to deal with these black aborigines who are ten times their number. Now that there is an opportunity to solve the problem, it is necessary to solve the problem at one time.

So far, they have deported more than half a million people, and thousands of blacks who wanted to resist have been shot dead. They have already achieved this step, and it is not bad to do things a little more excessively.

"Colonel, are all the more than 80,000 Belgian immigrants left?" the officer asked unwillingly, frowning.

"Do you think we are offending the French?" Grace asked back. Although Belgian Congo is a Belgian colony, Belgium speaks French, which he had already discussed with Alan Wilson. in conclusion.

The number of Belgian immigrants of more than 80,000 is not much to mention. If they are driven out, they may offend France and Belgium. If they stay, they can have good relations with the two European countries.

Although he did not take the entire Katanga province, he was ecstatic enough to get the land south of Lubumbashi. Belgian-controlled copper mines have also been acquired.

Grace has negotiated with the leader of the Belgian immigrants to ensure that the Belgians have the right to distribute the proceeds of the copper mine. It's just that the history of relying on the exploitation of black labor is coming to an end, and the Belgians also have to end their colonial history in a sense, and have to do their own thing.

At the British embassy in Moscow, Van Sid came in complaining, as if complaining that his superiors were not being kind, and pushed himself out to accept the saliva of the Soviets at a critical moment, "Secretary General, it's you that Gromyko wants to see."

"You are the British ambassador." Alan Wilson retorted calmly. "When the British Empire needs you, as an outstanding diplomat, you must shoulder the responsibility. You must be worthy of British training."

"But I don't know anything about Congo at all. According to the Soviets, you always mentioned it two days ago." Fan Sid was very depressed. He felt that the deputy secretary was deliberately letting himself go out to block bullets.

There's nothing wrong with that feeling, that's the purpose. Alan Wilson calmly reassured, "Then what do you want me to do? You need to know that currency needs physical support, and the support can be gold, silver and other things. But it must not be directly printed on the printing plate. Printing money. When we were fighting with France in the colonial era, wasn't it the UK that made the pound the world currency?"

"The copper mines in Katanga have a huge supporting effect on the British currency." Alan Wilson said, "money will not be despicable just because it is stained with blood, nor will it be despicable because it is not. It is noble when it has been stained with blood, after all, it is printed by a machine, and it is people who give it important value.”

"If I don't hold important raw materials in my hands, if there is no Kuching steel base in Malaya, would the UK still be the UK? If I was home, at this moment, why would I come to Moscow and sit calmly opposite the Soviets? , Do you think this can be done with the help of the Three Kingdoms?"

"With the British Isles, it is impossible to support the value of the pound. Once the pound depreciates, the country that has the pound in its hand will sell the pound in its hand. No matter what the result is, it will make the UK extremely uncomfortable."

Fan Sid opened his mouth, he couldn't refute the British Foreign Office Permanent Secretary, not only because the other party was older than him.

This time, the British attacked from the west to the east, and then settled in the south, for the copper mine that is as famous as the Chilean mine.

Alan Wilson is not greedy, hasn't he left most of the land in Katanga? The rest of the land can also support the local people, let’s farm the land honestly, how dangerous is it to be a miner?

So far, and with the help of the Cuban missile crisis, Alan Wilson himself appeased insecure anti-Tito elements. The United Kingdom also got a very loyal thug, which is already a profit.

"But it seems that it has become a foregone conclusion. We don't need to avoid the Soviets?" Fan Sid was puzzled. Even if he was in Moscow, as a high-ranking British official, could the Soviets still arrest the British Deputy Secretary?

"I am respecting the Soviets and preventing embarrassment for the other party and the UK." The British permanent secretary hiding in the embassy was tough, "What's the point of arguing? Our conditions are impossible for the Soviet Union to agree to, and vice versa."

To avoid entanglement with the Soviet Union on the issue of Northern Rhodesia, there is another reason that cannot be explained too clearly. That is the main inhabitants of Northern Rhodesia, whether Croats or Serbs, are Slavs.

The Slavs of the Balkans and the Slavs of the Soviet Union are closely related. According to the evaluation of the Yugoslav Kingdom by the diplomats of the Third Reich, half of the people in this country are pro-Soviet and half are pro-Russian.

That is to say, in the whole country, half of the people are inclined to the Soviet Union, and half of the people are inclined to Russia. The former is socialist or nationalist. Such a country, after the start of Operation Barbarossa, was a huge threat to the Germans.

Grace and those people were not born after the war. Many of them are remnants of war. Even if they are not pro-Soviet, they do not reject Slavic nationalism. At least at present, when these people are not dead, the United Kingdom cannot establish this Loyalty to Britain, the next generation will be improved.

In the face of the ambassador who accepted the Soviet accusation for himself, Alan Wilson was not too much~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and told Van Sid, "Tell more about Asia to put pressure on the Soviet Union. Katanga's What matters, is it more important than a war between two populous countries?"

In the final analysis, Congo is very important in Africa, but in the world, it still cannot be on the table.

While Alan Wilson was hiding in the embassy and pretending to be dead, Kennedy, who wanted to monopolize the glory, also abandoned the role of Britain and France, and replied to Khrushchev's previous letter, but before replying, the Soviet Union's second The letter was sent to the White House. Compared with the first letter, the attitude of the second letter was obviously much tougher, which was completely inconsistent with the attitude of Khrushchev's first handwritten letter.

"There are also hardliners in the Soviet Union who are putting pressure on it." Robert Kennedy also saw the letter and said to his older brother, "Replying to the first letter can relieve this embarrassment, and the second letter must be concealed from Britain and France. The existence of faith."

After talking about this matter, Robert Kennedy did not leave, and reported to Kennedy, "John, we have received news from Africa, British Northern Rhodesia, occupied the Lubumbashi area, and closed the local giant copper mine. for my own."

"The British have been waiting for an opportunity for a long time? Really made them wait." Kennedy's expression did not change, and he even had doubts about the purpose of Britain and France coming to Washington this time.
