Chapter 117: Rhodesia

Just kidding, with so many colonies in the world, does the British Empire still lack space to accommodate these more than 200,000 Yugoslavs? This matter is not difficult for a colonial empire like Britain, it is nothing more than where to put it?

Both Rhodesia and British Malaya seem to have certain advantages, but the advantages are in different places.

Rhodesia is the Zimbabwe of billionaires per capita in later generations, and as the white people run in Southern Rhodesia for a long time, the native-born whites gradually dominate, they regard Southern Rhodesia as their homeland, rather than the United Kingdom, and urgently demand more autonomy and even independence, of course, there are still many years before Rhodesia becomes truly independent.

If the South Slavs were placed in Rhodesia, it might be possible to provide a counterweight to the local native-born whites who wanted independence.

As for British Malaya, it was itself a backup development colony chosen by Edward Bridges for British India. It can be said that it is already a colony that the British Empire will focus on.

As Alexander Cadogan said, British Malaya must strengthen its colonial rule.

"Alan, you know the Far East very well, don't stop talking just because you don't think you're qualified. We can also listen to young people. Edward Bridges nodded at Alan Wilson.

"The two main ethnic groups in British Malaya are very close in proportion to the population, and the Malays are of course a little more populous. Personally, I don't think it is necessary to let the Yugoslavs go, otherwise unexpected changes may occur. Alan Wilson nodded politely before he spoke, "We can rely on the British army for the military strength of British Malaya, and I believe that there will be no accidents in the short term, but Rhodesia is different." There is a huge disparity between the local native-born whites and blacks, and it is true that some local whites should be strengthened. ”

Among the colonies of the British Empire, British Africa was relatively late in independence, not because Britain fought in Africa like France, but because the level of Africans was like that. It was extremely difficult for the local colonial power, which was not a strong force in itself, to break free.

At present, there are only two places in black Africa where whites and nautochthonous whites have a certain size, that is, South Africa and Rhodesia, which is later Zimbabwe.

South Africa and Zimbabwe have been in alliance for the rest of the year, and they have maintained the interests of white Africans.

There will be no problems in these two places in the short term, of course, provided that it is clear to the local white leaders that if they really break free from the rule of the British Empire, they will have to face blacks with a population more than ten times their own in the future.

As for British Malaya, there was no shortage of population, the population of the Dutch East Indies was 60 million in 1930, and now 15 years later, the population has exceeded 75 million.

These could be a supplement to the population of British Malaya, and as for the other major ethnic group, the Chinese, Alan Wilson did not think that he should be worried enough about the Chinese in 1945. With a little trick, the Chinese population in British Malaya is not a problem at all.

"Well, then send them to Rhodesia, you find a chance to talk to Mihajlovich." Edward Bridges nodded, agreeing to the matter, and as for him, the cabinet secretary, he naturally returned to London with the prime minister.

There was still a lot going on in the post-war reconstruction, international conferences, and the restoration of peace in the British-occupied territories. With the departure of the British and American delegations from Potsdam, Alan Wilson also returned to the city of Greater Berlin.

Now he finally had time to think about how to increase the ties between the British Occupation of Germany and British India.

After the Potsdam Conference, at least on the surface, the post-war interests had been divided, and the world was told through a communiqué that the Third World War seemed to be far away from the population.

The Potsdam Conference is over, I didn't expect the Yugoslav refugees who were dumped to the Americans to go around and return to the hands of the British Empire, there is no way, who let the British Empire and the United States have a debt relationship? Britain could not afford to let go, and there was no way to learn from the Soviet Union.

The point is that the British Empire dared to do this after World War I because the United States did not yet have the ability to arm itself to collect its debts. Now it's completely different, ordinary citizens don't know, but the British government knows that the United States is already more powerful than Britain.

Back at his residence in Berlin, Alan Wilson was grateful that Mia, the maid he had been looking for, had made the apartment spotless, and he was sympathetic to these Germans who were about the same as after the death of the country, but he definitely did not sympathize with the German country.

There were two things in front of him, one was the question of the whereabouts of Yugoslav refugees, and the other was something that should have been done a long time ago, going to the dung in the British-occupied areas to pan for gold, and reading the materials sent in the form of telegrams, Alan Wilson was full of confidence.

After these two things were done, plus the Brussels conference, he could return to British India, where he had in mind, and the Indians would surely find that the sky was higher and bluer.

"Mr. Allen, where have you been lately?" Mia, who was tidying up the room, looked at Alan Wilson, who was looking at the information, and asked, "Now the whole of Berlin is in a depression, and there are still a lot of things to do with the occupation army." ”

"The depression in Berlin is only temporary, and soon the competition around Berlin will begin." Alan Wilson smiled back and comforted, "This kind of competition is good for you citizens of Berlin, Berlin is now the front line of the two sides of the comparison, and will send the best things here, and in the Triple Occupation Zone to our west, you are even more lucky." The Soviet Union was badly destroyed by you Germans, and it did not have strong financial and material resources. But the United States has! ”

"Yes, a lot of people say that America is rich." Mia doesn't talk much, and seems to keep a servant's carefulness.

"Those Americans!" Alan Wilson doesn't want to hear others praise the Americans, and he now has to deal with the refugees thrown by the Americans, "Now Europe is not short of technology and talent, but there is a shortage of money." It's better not to have a good impression of those hillbillies in the United States, in fact, as long as you grit your teeth and get through the past two years, Europe doesn't need to ask the United States for anything. ”

In the evening Alan Wilson sent a telegram to Bavaria, asking Mikhailovich to come to Berlin to talk. The Potsdam Conference is over, and he doesn't have to dig holes for the Americans, not to mention that the United States has dumped refugees to the British Empire.

At this point, Alan Wilson's job was to put these refugees in Rhodesia and tell Mihajlovich that it didn't matter whether the other party would agree or not, and that he would do so if he agreed or not.
