Chapter 491 How to deal with black milo after Somalia gets it(1/2)
.Somali, located in the Somalia Peninsula, the easternmost part of the African continent, has the longest coastline in Africa. [Nani.com Hilarious Entertainment.] Somalia's geographical location is located south of the Mediterranean and the Gulf of Aden in the Indian Ocean. It is the only way for cargo ships from various countries to enter and exit the Suez Canal. In history, due to the continuous civil war in Somalia, education and social system have collapsed for many years, the local people have been engaged in pirates since the 20th century. The pirates in the country extort merchant ships from various countries every year, and the amount is difficult to estimate, so that later the United Nations launched an investigation and crackdown on the Solar Pirate Base.
More than 1700 BC, the "Bant" country, known as the production of spices, appeared in the Horn of Africa. Since the 7th century AD, Arabs and Persians have continued to move here, establishing trade points and several sultanate countries along the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean coast. Feudal empires were established in the 13th century. Since 1840, British, Italian and French colonialists have successively invaded and divided Somalia. In 1887, the north became a British protection area; in 1885 Italy began to invade By 1925, the southern part of the country became an Italian colony. In 1941, Britain controlled the entire Somalia. After World War II, the United Nations resolved in 1949 to hand over the original Italian-occupied area to Italy for trust. Britain and Italy were forced to agree to British Somalia and Italian Somalia in 1960 (Soulin District on June 26, 1960, and Sonam District on July 1). The two places merged to form the Republic of Somalia on July 1 of the same year.
Somalia's resources mainly include iron, tin, manganese, tungsten, nickel, chromium, magnesium, zinc, aluminum, uranium, quartz, beryl and gypsum. In addition, there are oil and natural gas. Except beryl and gypsum, most mineral deposits are not developed. Fishery resources are rich and the forest coverage rate is 13%.
For Yan Guang, Somalia may have oil, or not. None of these matters. After owning Iraq, Iran and Kuwait, unless it is a place like Saudi Arabia, Yan Guang will no longer be interested. Yan Guang really likes Somalia's geographical location.
Somalia is located next to the Gulf of Aden, and the Gulf of Aden is the only way for countries to enter and exit the Suez Canal. Controlling Somalia can turn the Red Sea into the Dead Sea. If you control the Gulf of Aden, it will be equivalent to controlling the entire Suez.
He can be said to be drooling at Somalia.
In fact, from the fact that Somalia pirates could have created such a great reputation in later generations, we can see how good the location of Somalia is...
"Even if you can't grab Egypt, if you grab Somalia, you can control the Gulf of Aden."
Britain and the United States are obviously very clear about Yan Guang’s idea. They are also more aware of the importance of Somalia.
In fact, why did Britain occupy the north, regardless of the central and southern regions, fall into Italy? It is because the north has a direct connection with the Gulf of Aden, and the central and southern regions are not very close, and even if given to Italy, it would be nothing.
But now, China wants the entire Somalia.
"We absolutely cannot agree to such conditions..."
In the Whitehall, a minister said to Churchill.
Hearing the minister's words, the other ministers nodded separately.
Looking at them, Churchill shook his head.
He also knows the importance of Somalia. If he loses Somalia, even if the Suez Canal is still in the hands of Britain, if he turns against China, Suez will probably become "not connected" from now on.
However, the current situation of Russia's war is equally important. Because of Stalin's momentary stupidity, a front army was packed with dumplings, and only a very small part of the troops escaped. Moscow is now threatened by Mannstein's army. If we don't come up with a solution quickly, it is probably impossible for Moscow to fall...
Years of war, coupled with the losses in Barbarossa, Russia is now supported by the existence of Moscow. If Moscow is really to be occupied, then the Russian government will have to go to the road behind the Ural Mountains, and by then, Russia may no longer have the strength to compete with Germany for victory.
By that time, Germany without Russia's threat would naturally turn all its power to Britain. If it were then, Britain would be in danger...
"What do Americans say?"
After a moment of silence, Churchill looked to the side.
Hearing Churchill’s question, Foreign Secretary Robert Anthony Aiden quickly stood up.
Robert Anthony Aiden was the first Earl of Alfen. He served as foreign minister during World War II and later served as British Prime Minister in the 1950s. The public generally believed that he was responsible for the Suez Canal crisis in 1956. In 2004, a research institution (Mori) held an election, allowing 139 scholars to score the British Prime Minister in the 20th century, and Aiden scored the lowest. Similarly, the British BBC Radio also conducted a similar survey earlier, and Churchill received the most votes, while Aiden received the least votes.
By the way, when the British Labor Party won the general election in 1945, Aiden's Conservative Party became the opposition party, and he himself became the deputy leader. At that time, many people believed that Churchill should retire and let Aiden succeed as the party leader. But on the one hand, Churchill was unwilling to consider this issue, while on the other hand, Aiden was still very loyal to Churchill, so he did not urge Churchill for this. On the contrary, although the war was coming to an end, Aiden was greatly hit by the breakdown of the first marriage and the news of his son's death.
But none of these matters. The most important thing is that in 1950, Aiden had divorced his first wife, so in 1952 he married Churchill's niece, Miss Clarissa Spencer Churchill, born in 1920, a veritable Catholic.
Of course, Churchill didn't know how many years Aiden would marry his niece.
"The Americans' opinion is that Somalia must not be handed over to the Chinese..."
After standing up, Aiden spoke.
"According to the actions of the Chinese in India and other places, the Chinese ambitions are actually not smaller than those of Japan and Germany. So if the Chinese control Somalia, which can clamp the entire Suez Canal, it will pose a great threat to the post-war free world..."
Why did the Americans acquiesced to China's invasion of India? It was because the United States itself did not want a powerful Britain to continue to exist. So after China promised not to embezzle India's territory, the Americans also agreed. After all, the United States still needed China to fight against Japan at that time.
As for the circle of power, the entire South America is the back garden of the United States, so Americans can't say that.
However, the Suez Canal is different, just like the Indian Ocean is a crucial ocean. The Suez Canal also has a very important impact on the entire world.
It would be fine for India, but if Suez was also under China's influence, it would be too unfavorable for the United States.
"Then is there any way for Americans?"
No one knows that Somalia cannot be handed over to the Chinese, so there is no need for Americans to say.
But the most important thing now is to solve the chaos in Russia. You must know that the Russians can't last long. If the Russians lose, it will be too late...
"this…"
Hearing Churchill's question, Aiden just smiled bitterly and said nothing.
Since the Pearl Harbor incident, the main ships of the US Pacific Fleet have been almost wiped out. Although the United States has begun to actively restore its strength, the aircraft carrier is not an ordinary ship after all. Unless it is an escort aircraft carrier modified with a freewheel, if it is an ordinary main aircraft carrier, it will take at least 43 years for the Americans to restore their original strength.
Therefore, it is not easy to find any solution for Americans...
"well…"
———————————————————
Just as Churchill and the others were still sighing, Yan Guang and others were discussing the matter in Somalia.
"Can the President, the British and Americans really agree to the Somalia thing?"
Sitting next to Yan Guang's left hand, Song Dinghan said with some uncertainty.
It is well known that the importance of Somalia is not very rich. Although the resources in that place are not very rich, the location is really critical, so Song Dinghan is really not sure whether the British and no one will give up this place.
If they don't...
"If they don't let it go, the war situation in Russia is urgent, and it may not be too long..."
When everyone else heard Song Dinghan say this, they nodded.
They naturally knew the importance of Somalia, but the situation in Russia would only be more anxious than Somalia. If it was delayed for Somalia, it would be difficult for them to lose a lot of things...
However, when Yan Guang heard them say this, he just smiled.
"Don't worry, I never expected them to bring Somalia to the door..." Yan Guang looked up at the ceiling. "It's just a trick to them. It's best if they deliver Somalia to the door. If they don't give it to them...... It's better to send troops. After all, the matter in Russia is important. Somalia and other things will be discussed in the future..."
Although Yan Guang was drooling at Somalia, he had to consider the situation in Russia. After all, if the Germans really took Moscow first, even if Somalia got it in the end, it would not be something worthy of Yan Guang's happiness.
Yan Guang was not afraid of fighting with Germany. Although the Germans were very strong, Yan Guang was confident that his defense force would never lose to the German defense force.
As for logistics, yes, even if the Central Asia Railway is in transporting materials from the mainland to Russia, it is quite troublesome. However, Yan Guang, Central Asia, has built a new industrial base, and the supplies needed to fight against the Germans can be sent directly from Central Asia to the Russian front line. In addition, oil can also be transported directly from Iraq, Iran and Kuwait, and even the Baku oil field in Azerbaijan is also a good oil supply base.
The problem is that if you fight with the Germans, the losses will probably be huge.
Moreover, the Luftwaffe is not comparable to that of Japan. In addition, the 88mm anti-aircraft guns commonly equipped by the Germans may not have a good effect on the Germans, both the Air Force and the Army.
The most important thing is…
After years of construction, the infrastructure facilities from the mainland to South Russia are quite developed. If we look at them according to the game standards, the part responsible for transportation is definitely level 10.
The problem is that this is not the case in Russia...
If it is really a war, can the headquarters help the Russians repair the roads?
"But. If the British and Americans really agree, what should Somalia's natives do?"
Just when Yan Guang was still thinking about Russia's poor infrastructure, a general suddenly spoke.
There is a little racial discrimination between words.
It’s not his fault. But this is what the world is.
In fact, after Italy occupied Ethiopia on the eve of World War II, there were no more black countries on the African continent.
On the other hand, countries like the United States are also implementing bad habits such as not allowing black people to go to school and giving up seats to white people on buses.
So even China has some contempt for black people after understanding the actual situation in Africa.
As for Yan Guang himself, of course, Yan Guang cannot be the same as the people of this era, and he was once a discriminated against when he first came.
However, Yan Guang still knows a little about the laziness of black people. Let’s not mention whether they are lazy than Greeks. The more important thing is Yan Guang’s impression of black people in later generations. Ahem, there is a large area of black people. In addition, in Yan Guang’s impression, black people seem to be the most suitable for sports stars, such as basketball, track and field, etc., and there seems to be nothing else...
"Is it black?" Yan Guang touched his chin. "It's indeed a matter..."
Currently, China has a population of about 800 million. Considering that the areas currently occupied are basically inhabited by yellow and white people, none of the Chinese citizens are black.
but…
This does not mean that Yan Guang hopes that black people will appear in China...
Yan Guang was deeply impressed by the reproductive ability of black people in later generations. In addition, if he married black people, he could only give birth to black people. Yan Guang was still a little resistant to the inclusion of black people.
so…
"If the British and Americans really agree, do you think this is good..."
After thinking for a while, Yan Guang looked at Song Dinghan and others and said.
"If Britain and the United States really agree, they will give each of the black millets in Somalia a sum of money. Then let them go to the neighboring African region..."
Yan Guang used regions rather than countries mainly because Africa has now become a colony of Europe and there is no other country on it. However, this also saves a lot of trouble, such as vendetta between countries.
"A sum of money?"
Hearing Yan Guang say this, the others nodded after thinking for a while.
These people would not think Yan Guang's idea was unrealistic. In later generations, Somalia had a population of about 10 million, but in this era, Somalia had only a slight population of more than one million.
It is not impossible to migrate all the population of more than one million.
In later generations, wouldn’t there be any wars in Africa that flee for hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands?
Now it is just a little larger, not to mention that the National Social Security government will pay them a settlement fee?
If you want to save some money, just send food and cover hard currency like this.
And there is also an advantage in doing so, that is, Somalia, which has no black people at all, will not have any troubles after the new immigrants arrive...
To be continued...
