British Civil Servant
Vol 2 Chapter 664: veto east african federation
When Nkrumah was on the flight to Paris via the British Gold Coast, news came that Alan Wilson knew it was over. As long as this man dared to go, he would dare to let this man lead the first colony in Black Africa. The independent founding father cannot come back.
"Leave it to us!" Grace nodded. He really didn't expect that an independent leader of a colony would really dare to walk around? Shouldn't you stick to the base camp and protect your own safety?
"It's not surprising, after all, we have a bad precedent." Alan Wilson shrugged, "Now that he has set off, I believe the Gold Coast is over."
Grace didn't know anything about this. The reason why Nkrumah dared to be invited to Paris was not unrelated to the cerebral palsy in post-war Britain.
World War II knocked down the pre-war British Empire from its position of world hegemony. London, which has always been known for its mature policies, was as overwhelmed as a confused British citizen when making decisions.
The landmark event is the independence of British India, which creates an impression on others that since even British India, which is so important to the United Kingdom, can become independent, can other colonies also be?
What's more, Nkrumah himself was brought back to the mainland by the United Kingdom. In the past few years, Nkrumah lived in London for a short time after finishing his study abroad career in the United States.
During this period, Nkrumah contacted several black leaders currently serving as parliamentarians in France, including Felix Houphouet-Boigny and Leopold Seda Senghor.
Nkrumah did give London the last bit of face. The subsequent World Black Solidarity Conference was not held in Africa, but in the United States with other African independence leaders.
The issue of the liberation of Africa has become the main topic of this Pan-African Conference. The congress drew up a pan-African nationalist program, unanimously adopted the principles of African socialism based on the strategy of non-violent positive action, and the principles enunciated in the Declaration of Human Rights, and recommended that Africans and people of African descent should organize their own political parties and trade unions everywhere. , cooperative societies and peasant organizations to support the struggle for national political freedom and economic progress.
After the meeting of these African independence leaders and their supporters living in the Americas, Nkrumah went to England again, as if nothing had happened.
Of course, Felix Houphouet-Boigny and Leopold Seda Senghor, who invited Nkrumah this time, also met Enke after that meeting. Ruma became acquainted, Nkrumah later went to England, and the two of them returned to Paris.
With the neglect of post-war Britain, plus the independent leader of French Africa whom he met at the same time, he is still a member of the French National Assembly in Paris, and he is still alive and kicking. It's no surprise that Nkrumah dared to leave the Gold Coast.
In Nkrumah's eyes, Britain and even France are now imperialist paper tigers.
Knowing that Nkrumah had left the Gold Coast, Alan Wilson arrived on the Gold Coast with his assistants to meet with Gold Coast Commissioner Davies. He did not sneak in, but showed up after his arrival and unified in other Gold Coasts. In front of the leaders of the Congress Party, they sighed and expressed their regret.
Later, he said that he had come up with the negotiating conditions of London on the Gold Coast, saying that he would go to British East Africa soon, but he was willing to keep in touch with the Gold Coast United Congress Party at any time on the future of the Gold Coast. Before the inspection was over, Nkrumah ended his European tour. He could come back again and was willing to keep in touch with Nkrumah on the issue of autonomy.
Alan Wilson is elegant and polite, expressing a good gentlemanly manner, and has left a good impression on the leaders of the United Congress Party. Of course, in the eyes of some Nkrumah believers, Alan Wilson is a paper tiger. Cowardly, the imperialists have finally bowed their heads to the great Gold Coast people, and cannot ignore the voices of the people and so on.
After meeting with the leaders of the United Congress Party who remained on the Gold Coast, Alan Wilson made a moderate speech. It was nothing more than that London heard the local voice and was willing to maintain communication on the issue of autonomy, and returned directly to the Gold Coast Administration. Office.
"Alan, I believe you are joking. This is a profit of 150 tons of gold a year. I believe that London will not ignore this profit, although I do not work in the country, but I have heard that the government has The urgent need for gold." Davis looked at Alan Wilson, who was playing with gold bricks, and explained his thoughts.
Da! Alan Wilson, who tried the gold content of the gold bricks with his teeth, put the heavy friendship on the table, made a crisp sound, smiled and signaled the snake to be calm, "Davis, I am our man, am I? Will they ignore the interests of the British Empire and allow the Gold Coast to become independent? If it is an ordinary independent, it will be fine. Pan-African independent leaders are absolutely not acceptable. Not only does it not serve the interests of the United Kingdom and France, but the Americans will definitely look at it. I don't want to, just don't say it."
Davis breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this heavy friendship was not in vain.
"In the face of the current wave of independence, we focus on maintaining stability. This time Nkrumah gave us the opportunity." Alan Wilson said calmly, "We must make good use of this opportunity. Of course, I want to emphasize that, Opportunity is called an opportunity because it often only comes once, so our approach to colonial independence must not be repeated. I would like to help with the troubles faced by the Gold Coast simulation, but it is up to you how to disintegrate the local independence forces. already."
"The advantage now is that the framework of colonial state-owned enterprises in British Africa has largely been established to absorb the huge number of veterans in the world wars. As long as these veterans who have fought in the war are not in chaos, everything will turn around. Appropriate interests Sharing is necessary, after all, you and I know in my heart that everything we are doing now is procrastinating and fighting for the time to return home full of rewards."
"Of course I understand, we all want this time to come as late as possible." Davis nodded in relief, "You know, I really have nothing to do with him."
"Sometimes, we have to abandon our selfishness and take the initiative to think for the sake of the empire. There may be some difficulties in this process. Don't be blinded by gold fans." Alan Wilson boldly put away the gold, which is quite heavy to be honest. Yes, and only gold can prove the great friendship of the two who advance and retreat together.
Alan Wilson, who took the initiative to come to the Gold Coast with enthusiasm, hoped to negotiate with Nkrumah about the future of the Gold Coast. Nkrumah returns for one more time, and London is always open to dialogue.
"No wonder Vivienne loves you so much." Joan Bennett dragged the heavy friendship sent by the Gold Coast Commissioner with great effort, her eyes wandered, she knew how Vivien Leigh fell.
"Joan, you can't say that. Vivienne and I are different from what you think." Alan Wilson corrected Joan Bennett's view with a cigar, "There are many things in this world that are more important than gold, just Like our friendship."
"I even feel that our friendship has begun to shake." Joan Bennett put down the gold brick and put a pair of beautiful hands on her cheeks, trying to cool down the rapidly heating face.
Actually, it's not bad. Alan Wilson doesn't think it's a problem to transfer the BRICs, and Joan Bennett has also helped a lot.
This time, he will be wandering around Africa for a few months. If he is not ready to do something about the Black Pearl, he will need the presence of Joan Bennett.
When Nkrumah was in Paris, she was expounding the struggles of Africa in the face of a group of African students. Alan Wilson has arrived in British Uganda, and has a drink with King Mutesa II of the Kingdom of Buganda.
This tour has shifted from West Africa to East Africa, and Alan Wilson expressed deep respect for Mutesa II.
Regarding the future of Uganda, Alan Wilson also expressed that there are currently two opinions. One is to establish an independent kingdom with Mutesa II as the core, that is, to use the entire Uganda as a constitutional monarchy under Mutessa II. .
The other is the British traditional plan, which combines the East African colonies to form a federation~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The United Kingdom has always been uninterested in the partition plan, at least before the independence of British India.
"I don't like Philip Mitchell's idea." Mutesa II bluntly expressed his doubts.
"Your Majesty the King, I don't like it either." Alan Wilson said that we are our people. "The idea of Governor Philip is not widely supported."
Philip Mitchell, Governor-General of British East Africa, submitted a memorandum to the British government on social and economic problems in East Africa, prompting a British mission to investigate and propose solutions to these problems.
The core of British East Africa is Kenya, and the colonies below are also in charge of commissioners. Alan Wilson had talked to the Uganda commissioner before meeting Mutesa II.
Both of them believed that Philip Mitchell's idea of the governor of the backward era was not suitable for the current trend, and the partition plan proved by the partition of India and Pakistan would be more in line with the trend.
What else is controlled by the East African Federation? Alan Wilson felt that these East African colonies were easier to control separately. Now that British India has been independent for almost five years, what is the dream of being controlled by the United Kingdom after the merger and independence?
Alan Wilson's arrival in East Africa this time can be regarded as a formal veto answer to Governor Philip Mitchell.
