Chapter 764 The Last Good Time

"Have you thought about it?" Pamela Mountbatten didn't understand why her husband thought about it for so long. Was it so difficult?

"No, it's easy to calculate the economic accounts. You have already made money now, but it is difficult to calculate the political accounts. You need to think about the changes this oil resource has brought to France." Alan Wilson shook his head slightly and asked, "You Do you want France to surpass Britain?"

Pamela Mountbatten shook her head, and Alan Wilson chuckled and said, "That's it, I don't want to either. But the discovery of oil resources has spread, otherwise the French would not pay for a larger share. Algeria It’s the heart of French Africa, even the French think so.”

"That's right!" Pamela Mountbatten knew something about this. France was determined to maintain the colony. If nothing else, the Battle of Dien Bien Phu had just ended, and her husband was still in contact with Geneva.

"The wave of independence is not limited to one place, but occurs in all colonies, so I came to Malaya as a commissioner." Alan Wilson first boasted, and then said seriously, "The French are better than the British in maintaining colonies. We spend a lot of money, and we usually resolve it through political means, while France uses military means. So what will happen? What if there is a wave of independence in Algeria and it has oil resources?"

"France will be even more determined to maintain its colonies. The discovered oil resources will only make the war more tragic?" Pamela Mountbatten had already set off and quickly thought of this.

"I think there will be a day when France will not be able to mobilize its entire country?" Alan Wilson muttered. He seemed to remember that when France held a domestic referendum on whether to allow Algeria to become independent, it was a narrow referendum just like Newfoundland's referendum on joining Canada.

This is under the premise that de Gaulle has already stated in advance that once the referendum is decided and fought to the end, the whole country will be mobilized.

In fact, France had a better foundation than Britain to use political means to break up the colonial independence movement, but in the end it took too much military action, which led to increasingly smaller conflicts for moderates.

Pamela Mountbatten actually understood what her husband meant, but she still got an accurate response.

"How about giving most of Algeria's oil to France? Libya is easier to control." Alan Wilson looked into his wife's eyes and said, "That is French territory. If you really want to cause us some trouble through administration, the solution is still A lot of."

"How do I feel that you are letting go of your interests to intensify the conflict between France and the locals?" Pamela Mountbatten was a little suspicious. She really didn't want to think about it, but her husband was indeed not a good person.

"Nonsense, I am your husband. A loyal ally of the French!" Alan Wilson flatly denied.

After hearing these words, Pamela Mountbatten was even more sure that her man had this idea.

"I will keep 10% and sell the rest to the French." Pamela Mountbatten narrowed her eyes slightly and said with a bright smile on her face, "You have to find something for the French to do, right? ? When the French army in Indochina retreats, you will be under greater pressure, and you will be paying the price for the cowardice of the French."

"Don't say that, the French are full of martial virtue and will never disappoint people a second time." Alan Wilson raised his head and expressed a different view. He could remember that at the peak of the French army in Algeria, they directly deployed sixty Even if the tens of thousands of troops are not all active-duty soldiers, including many armed militiamen, this number is still exaggerated.

This time it is driven by interests, rather than relying solely on one breath. Can't the French bring out a million troops to suppress the colonies?

But what the heck, that's all the French's problem. The two of them returned to the apartment hand in hand, and the evening was very smooth.

In July, the two-month Geneva Conference finally came to an end, with the signing of the Agreement on Cessation of Hostilities in Vietnam, the Agreement on Cessation of Hostilities in Laos, and the Agreement on Cessation of Hostilities in Cambodia. The meeting finally issued the "Geneva Conference Final Declaration.

The main content of the agreement is to cease all hostilities in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia; within the specified period, the French army will withdraw from the above-mentioned areas, and Vietnamese volunteers will withdraw from Laos and Cambodia; the Khmer anti-Japanese war force composed of local residents will be on the spot. demobilization.

In Vietnam, the Xian Liang River south of the 17th parallel and north of Highway 9 is the temporary military demarcation line. The warring parties will withdraw their troops to their respective sides of the demarcation line within a time limit; the military demarcation line is five kilometers wide on both sides. Establish a demilitarized zone within the

Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia will hold free national elections within respective specified times to achieve their respective peace and reunification on the basis of democracy.

Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia are not allowed to join any military alliance, nor allow any foreign country to establish military bases on the territories of the three countries or interfere in their internal affairs; foreign troops, military personnel, weapons and ammunition are prohibited from entering the above three countries.

An international committee, with participation from Canada, India and Poland and chaired by an Indian representative, was established to monitor and supervise the implementation of the agreement.

It pledges to respect the independence, sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, and not to interfere in any way in their internal affairs.

After the content of the agreement was announced, it quickly spread throughout the world. This also marked the official failure of France's return to Vietnam in 1945.

"The status of Indians is still very high! Can they actually surpass Canada?" Alan Wilson looked at the newspaper reports and thought, damn it, Nehru has tricked him again.

It seems that India's path to becoming a powerful nation requires its old enemy to personally take off his pants.

At least for now, Nehru is still a macho man who came from heaven to save India from the fire and water.

Seeing that the former colony was doing well, the former Assistant Commissioner to British India almost turned his nose with anger. Alan Wilson is like this. When he sees others doing well, he immediately becomes bad.

"Look at the way you are gnashing your teeth, as if someone has offended you again." Pamela Mountbatten had just come out after washing up, and saw her husband grinning at the newspaper. After a casual glance, he saw a large photo of Nehru. I immediately guessed that my husband was becoming unbalanced again.

"Just watch, sooner or later someone will let the Indians know that international prestige cannot always be achieved by building a sense of presence." Alan Wilson closed the newspaper, stood up and took a squeeze of toothpaste. It was his turn.

Alan Wilson is about to have a busy time. London has agreed to help France withdraw its troops, just as it helped France return to Asia in 1945. Nine years have entered a cycle again.

Who allows the current British to have sufficient shipping capacity to complete this task? The British maritime power is still much stronger than France. Once France withdraws its troops, together with supplies and family members, it will cost at least hundreds of thousands.

If it is necessary to evacuate in the short term, France’s own transportation capacity is still somewhat uncertain. There happened to be British colonies nearby, and Britain once again assumed the role of helping.

If Alan Wilson had the final say, he would definitely persuade the Netherlands to give France part of Kalimantan as compensation. But reality is not a game after all. You can use a cheating device to change the outcome, and the Dutch will not listen to him.

After finishing the personal hygiene issues, Alan Wilson checked the time and went out to work. This time France evacuated, he must leave a mark of Alan Wilson himself. The first thing is to lay a good foundation to welcome the next player to enter.

As France's most loyal ally, Alan Wilson has made an appointment with the French commander Navarre Jiangjun to discuss Britain's assistance in the evacuation process and lay mines by the way.

French forces have withdrawn from Southeast Asia. At this time, all forces are ready to take action. Regarding the power vacuum left by France, many people think that the natural successor is of course no one else.

It seemed to Alan Wilson that this was the time when things were going great, and he was reminded of his last glorious days in British India, performing a final act of madness.

The beneficiary this time is definitely not him, a British person, but it doesn't matter, for the sake of unity between Britain and France. He will pass on all the land scraping experience he gained after leaving British India, and will never hide anything for himself.

Arriving at the Administrative Office, he greeted his subordinates. Seeing a familiar face with long red hair appear, Alan Wilson stopped and took the initiative to express his kindness, "Alyssa, welcome back to work. In fact, many people have suggested that I , consider the new candidate for West Malaysia Commissioner, but I have always believed that you are the most suitable person for this position."

"Dear boss, I actually think so too." Alyssa smiled charmingly and said charmingly, "After all, I am a very reliable subordinate. This has been proven, isn't it?"

"Get familiar with the job first!" Alan Wilson said. After all, he was a considerate boss and would never act like a capitalist, especially towards reliable subordinates.

On this day, officials from the Administrative Office found that Alan Wilson looked relaxed and seemed to be in a good mood. This is not just because of the return of reliable men, but it is different from what is reported in the newspapers.

While communicating with domestic telegraphs, Alan Wilson learned a happy thing, that is, the United States did not sign the final agreement, so certain things were bound to happen.

By not signing, the United States retained the power to use force when appropriate, something Alan Wilson was certainly pleased about. The next player in Vietnam has already been revealed.

In the afternoon, he contacted General Navarre through the British Military Advisory Group in Saigon. Due to the series of consequences after the Dien Bien Phu Battle, General Navarre's future path in politics and the military may not be so smooth.

At this moment, he needs someone like him to appear and explain his future route from the perspective of a friend. And Alan Wilson was willing to do the same, sharing his experiences in the colonies.
