Chapter 666 Free Officers Organization

Murphy's Law says that the more you don't want something to happen, the more it will happen. Out of long-standing caution, Alan Wilson chose to believe in this unwarranted law.

While communicating with Governor Philip Mitchell in Nairobi, the capital of British East Africa, Alan Wilson did not forget to maximize the benefits of this inspection and asked the Commissioner of Zanzibar to guide Khalifa Sultan to visit Cairo.

At the same time, it also paved the way for the next stage of his journey, and the work of a paper framer in British Africa became a joy. The really terrible thing is that Africa is not even ranked. No matter from any perspective, Africa is the cheapest place in the world.

Whether you admit this or not, this is the fact. Britain’s positioning of the origin of raw materials in Africa is reasonable, and later powerful countries also inherited this point.

Alan Wilson needs to decide what Kenya, the heart of British East Africa, was like in the fifties. This depends on the judgment of future planning. In fact, the British designated Kenya as the core of British East Africa. There are only two reasons. The first is that the location is good, and the second is that it is sufficiently backward.

Tanzania in British East Africa was originally a German colony and fell into British hands after World War I. This is excluded. Before the British ruled Kenya, Uganda in the inland areas was actually far more civilized than Kenya.

East Africa is different from West Africa. It has not been affected by the triangular trade of slaves. It can be determined that the civilization level of East African countries is higher than that of West Africa. At the same time, East African colonies were only divided up in the late colonial era, whether it was Britain, France, Germany or Belgium. After the Berlin Conference in 1884 and after going deep into Africa, we were surprised to find that black Africans actually had the concept of a nation.

To be precise, Africa except West Africa has a good level of civilization. This is completely different from the Africa in the impression of European countries. Because of the slave trade, Africa has not been torn apart by Europe and is generally concentrated in the interior.

To put it simply, West Africa is less civilized than East Africa, and the most advanced places in East Africa are not the coastal areas, but inland countries like Uganda, Rwanda, and Zimbabwe.

Landlocked countries have maintained more traditions because colonists penetrated deep into the interior of Africa very late.

This is why there are still many kingdoms in Uganda. As for Kennedy, before it became a British colony, there was no national organization in the interior of Kenya and it was still in the primitive commune stage. However, among the Kikuyu people, the phenomenon of private ownership of land Part of the land that was originally shared by the patriarchal family, the "Mbali", has become individually owned, and a preliminary form of land renting has emerged.

There are white communities in Kenya. Currently, the situation in Kenya is generally stable. After all, as the core of British East Africa, the British power there is relatively strong compared to other places.

Alan Wilson decided to walk around Kennedy to get a sense of the extent of British control over Kenya. Of course, he wanted to take Joan Bennett around, and he had the idea of ​​showing off to show the American actress the vastness of the British Empire. At least so far, the land controlled by the British was still relatively large. American big.

Who knows how much longer? Therefore, after passing this village, there is no such store. It is wise to cash in as soon as possible while there is still one. Mombasa is the largest port in British East Africa, and it bears a large share of the current British grain.

In Africa's real estate revitalization strategy, Kenya's Nairobi and Mombasa are among them. Kenya will also become an important stop for British Malaya to import industrial products to British East Africa.

The dock area gradually emptied out. The crowd left in pairs holding umbrellas. The street lights all around had been turned on, and circles of light illuminated the paintings on the cement floor, one in the east and one in the west.

Alan Wilson had spent the last few hours squeezing through the crowd, craning his neck for Joan Bennett, tired from standing for so long but still hopeful that she would show up soon.

He sat on his duffel bag and waited for her.

Five minutes passed, then another five, then another ten. The rain had stopped for a while, but the sky was still hazy. Small puddles were formed everywhere on the big map, and the lights and puddles reflected each other. He saw that the dancing lights were hidden due to the heavy rain, and the drops of rain gently caused some ripples on the water.

Alan Wilson raised the cloak up around his neck and considered taking the cloak out of the duffel bag, but decided it wasn't worth the try. He yawned and blinked his eyes, which were sore from fatigue. He scanned the streets along the docks and imagined Joan Bennett running toward him, arms outstretched. Had he missed her in the earlier bustle?

He shook his head. Of course, if she couldn't find him, she would wait. He tried to think of a good reason why she hadn't come yet, but the options available were too worryingly complex to be considered in a second or two.

The rain fell harder and harder, and he felt the rain soaking through his uniform and seeping into his bones. He stood up, it was time to move. She knew where to find him if she showed up. He had spent many days and nights, always surrounded by heavy rain, staring at the sky, waiting for the storm to stop and for the inspection to end. All he wanted to do now was get back home, go indoors, and enjoy the dryness and warmth of it.

The neighborhood on the other side of the harbor was full of reunited couples, walking arm in arm through the streets, hugging and kissing. Alan Wilson was helpless by disappointment, so he put his travel bag on his shoulder and weakly walked up the steep hill, sideways getting out of the way of those happy men and women who were indifferent to everything and everyone except each other. Turn a blind eye.

A hand gently patted Alan Wilson's shoulder from behind, and Joan Bennett pushed up the big sunglasses on her face, "Alan, I didn't expect you to be so patient. To be honest, it's hard not to be moved. , if you meet a young girl in her twenties, most of them will choose to marry you."

"I'm afraid you'll lose it. An American star disappears in a British colony. Although it's not a big deal, it's not a small matter either." Alan Wilson breathed a sigh of relief and directly grabbed Joan Bennett's hand. Hands said with relief, "The key is that I don't like to let women face danger."

"Then I'm really honored. Now I understand very well why they like to be friends with you." Joan Bennett walked side by side with the man and said with a smile, "I don't know when your patrol trip will be. Where’s the end?”

"Thank you very much for your recent companionship. The last stop in Africa is Egypt. When you arrive in Cairo, you can return to Europe." Alan Wilson seems to be calm and relaxed, but he always feels that things will be quite difficult when arriving in Egypt. .

The reason why he asked the Sultan of Sannibal to go to Cairo was just to divert attention. Although he has not arrived in Cairo, he has been in contact with Cairo through telegrams. There is no clear answer yet to his inquiry about the Free Officers organization.

No answer does not mean there is no danger, Alan Wilson is more inclined, MI6 is in vain. There was really no movement between the Free Officers Organization and Nasser.

What he himself hopes more is that Murphy's Law will come true. When he happens to be on a patrol in Africa, he can quickly jump out of his own trap and use a single patrol in Africa to eliminate all short-term dangers.

So why did he tie up Grace to accompany him? He just hoped that the future leader of Chetnik would be by his side. If something happened, he might be rescued by Mikhailovich.

If an outcome beneficial to the UK can be achieved through manipulation, what Alan Wilson hopes more is that this wave of conflicts can break out in a concentrated manner. Whether the UK can survive the short-term crisis safely depends on this one-off deal.

Therefore, he hoped that Nasser would take action according to the original historical time. At the same time, he would also promote reconciliation with Iran and kill Kwame Nkrumah of the Gold Coast, the standard-bearer of Pan-Africanism.

Alan Wilson does not have much time this time. After all, touring the African industry as the deputy secretary-general of the Overseas Asset Management Committee is a short-term part-time job. He still has to return to Kuala Lumpur to continue working as a commissioner.

If these things can all appear and be resolved during his inspection, we can't just rely on wishful thinking. This requires Nasser's cooperation.

In recent days, Alan Wilson has been thinking, how can we get Nasser to launch a coup in accordance with the actions of the same period in history?

In fact, Alan Wilson's dissatisfaction with MI6 is that the Free Officers organization should have been around for many years. Farouk I may have known about the existence of this organization, but he still didn't know how powerful this organization was. It is unreasonable that Britain does not know this.

In other words, the United Kingdom also knows about the Free Officers Organization, but feels no threat. If this speculation is true, then Alan Wilson can only say that the level of MI6 is not as good as that thief Farooq I.

In any case, he must go to Egypt. It would be best if he could just block Nasser's coup.

At the end of May, Alan Wilson, who had collected a bunch of first-hand information on British Africa, started the second phase of his mission and secretly arrived in Egypt. On the first day, he met the Sultan of Sanibar Khalifa who was also visiting Cairo.

As an island country too close to Africa, Sultan Khalifa is of course very interested in visiting powerful countries in the Arab world, and he is very grateful to the United Kingdom for facilitating this matter.

"Dear Sultan, can you ask for me whether His Majesty Farouk knows about the Free Officers organization? This is very important to me!" Alan Wilson took the initiative to speak, "I can't come forward directly. If the Sudan can help the British put this organization Once the matter is clarified, I believe it will further consolidate the traditional friendship between us."
