Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1106 The name is not worthy

Of course, Rock has the most say on this issue, but Rock doesn't think the Allied Powers can achieve their goals, not only because of the upcoming weather, but also because of the Allied Powers' own problems.

"The world war has been fought for four full years. Everyone is exhausted and the troops have serious anti-war sentiments. This has been evident since Nivelle was the commander-in-chief of the French army. The British Expeditionary Force is better. After all, the colonial troops are the main ones, and the will to fight is relatively tenacious. The problem of the French army is very serious. Ever since Nivelle became the commander-in-chief of the French army, he has frequently rebelled. , so it is very difficult for the coalition forces to defeat the Russians——" Roque's reason is very good, this is not a question of whether the war can be won, the problem is that the leaders of Britain and France want to fight, but the officers and soldiers of the troops do not want to fight.

"Locke, if you were the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, would you be able to win this war?" Owen highly praised Rocke, and Rocke's performance during the World War was indeed convincing.

Rock shook his head and smiled wryly, even Rock wouldn't be able to win.

Russia is not Germany with a small area. Russia, with more than 2000 million square kilometers, is the largest country in the world except the United Kingdom.

The "big" of the United Kingdom is mainly in its colonies and overseas territories. The British Isles are only 24 square kilometers, which is not a star and a half behind Russia.

In addition to territory, Russia has a population of more than 1 million, which also represents Russia's war potential.

During World War II, Germany fought against the British and French forces on the Western Front.

Russia, on the other hand, faced the crazy attacks of Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire on the Eastern Front. Although Germany's main forces were concentrated on the Western Front, Germany was the trump card combination of Hindenburg's Ludendorff on the Eastern Front.

Russia suffered heavy losses during the World War, but until Nicholas II was overthrown, the Russian Empire did not undergo a large-scale defeat on the front line. The Hungarian Empire turned to Germany for help, which fully demonstrated Russia's war potential.

Don't look at how badly Russia was beaten by Germany. Before Roque became the commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force, the British and French allied forces were also beaten so badly by Germany that his own mother couldn't recognize it. It wasn't that the Russians couldn't fight, it was because the German army was too powerful——

"Even if the coalition forces win the war, they still have to face a real problem. The tsar's family has been secretly executed, and the only crown prince, Alexei, has died. So even if the Russians are defeated, what should we do afterward?" Rock proposed The question is so acute that Winston and Clemenceau probably have not yet considered it.

"Don't think so far, I bet Winston just wants to get back the 7.5 million pounds, and the other Winstons don't care." What Henry said, Nicholas II is not Winston's Cousin, so Winston's goal is clear.

"You are wrong. London and Paris are mainly worried that the situation in Russia will spread to other countries. If you think about it, you will know how terrible that situation is." Philip looked at the problem more deeply. Of course Rock knew the reason, but Rock dare not say.

Dare to say it is 404.

So Rock didn't take this issue, and directly diverted the topic: "In any case, it has nothing to do with us, at least Russia doesn't owe us money."

At this time, we can see how wise Roque’s original decision was. During the World War Russia also purchased a large amount of supplies from southern Africa. At that time, southern Africa did not refuse anyone who came. Other countries can say that if they have money, they will pay, and if they have no money, they will owe it first. Russia can only trade in cash, and debts are not acceptable, and borrowing money is even more out of the question.

In fact, the "borrowing" here has many additional conditions. The loan is not directly giving money, but borrowing money to buy materials in southern Africa. Not only can the money not be taken away, but high interest must also be paid.

Here you can see how abhorrent the behavior of making war fortune in southern Africa is. Think about it, the money is not directly given to European countries, but exported to European countries through trade. Merchants in southern Africa are profitable, and the government There are taxes, banks have interest, but Britain and France consume the purchased weapons and ammunition on the battlefield. This behavior has continued for four years, and Britain and France can't support it no matter how strong their families are.

At night, Rock and Phyllis stayed at Philip's house. Although Phyllis was married, Philip still kept Phyllis's room. The furnishings in the room were exactly the same as Phyllis' boudoir in Johannesburg. Rock lay The warm and comfortable big bed couldn't help but sigh.

"Father-in-law is reminding me to treat you better, or you can take the child back to your mother's house at any time—" Rich people are really happy about it. Rock and Phyllis now have four children, the youngest Not long after the baby was born, Phyllis is very relaxed now that the children are being taken care of by the nanny.

"Hehehe, even if I don't go back to my mother's house now, I won't live on the streets—" Phyllis's little face was flushed and her toes were high. She is now a standard rich man with quite a lot of money.

During the World War, the Johannesburg Pharmaceutical Company developed rapidly. Before the World War, there was only one pharmaceutical factory in Johannesburg under the name of Phyllis. Now the pharmaceutical factory has increased to six, and there are hundreds of related factories attached to the Johannesburg Pharmaceutical Company. The Johannesburg Pharmaceutical Company employs more than 5000 people, and tens of thousands of farmers provide raw materials for the Johannesburg Pharmaceutical Company.

At the end of the World War, even though the Johannesburg Pharmaceutical Company did not take the opportunity to raise prices to make huge profits, the cash in Phyllis's account in Rand Bank exceeded [-] million rand.

This made Phyllis a little at a loss. How to spend the [-] million rand is a headache.

"It's so simple, give Christian the money, let Christian go to Europe to buy and buy, it's best to buy both London and Paris, even if the Johannesburg pharmaceutical company goes bankrupt in the future, you and the children will not be hungry." Luo What Ke almost blurted out was to give the money to Ida—

It is estimated that Rock is going to sleep in the guest room tonight.

"What nonsense—" Phyllis did not allow Roque to slander her pharmaceutical company. It is actually quite difficult for such a large pharmaceutical company to go bankrupt.

It was this problem that Rock was going to tackle next.

The industries under Rock's current name are mainly divided into four parts. The largest group of physical industries with Nyasaland Heavy Industry as the core involves military industry, machinery, automobiles, aviation, shipbuilding and other fields. This part of the entity Business was also a major nucleus in the rise of southern Africa during the world wars.

The second part is the Nyasaland Company established during the World War. This company is mainly responsible for Rock's investment, the farm under Rock's name, the industries Christian acquired in Europe during the World War, and the current European investment. All assistance is provided by Nyasaland Corporation.

The third part is Adan Company and Umbrella Company. The business scope of these two companies is a bit complicated, and the scale is so large that Rock is not clear about it now.

Although Rock didn't know, old Zach, who couldn't speak, knew that Zach's current public identity was Rock's housekeeper, and he was the person Rock trusted most, the kind of trust alongside Phyllis and Ada.

The fourth part is the Rand Bank. During the World War, the strength of the Rand Bank was further enhanced, and it played a role similar to the National Bank of the Federal Government of Southern Africa. Both Britain and France needed Rand Bank as a guarantee for loans from Southern Africa. This guarantee Of course, it’s not free. The Rand Bank lends money to Britain and France. Britain and France use the money to buy various materials in southern Africa, and the companies that produce these materials will deposit the money in the Rand Bank——

So those so-called "borrows" are tantamount to going around in the Rand Bank account, and never left the Rand Bank at all, but countless profits have been generated in the process. Finance is really amazing.

Rock's next step is to integrate these four parts. According to British tradition, all the properties under Rock's name belong to the eldest son of Rock and Phyllis, who is the little Marquis Gavin. Of course, other children will also There is property, but it will not involve the above major parts.

Rock is not going to manage his own property according to the British tradition. Next, Rock will set up an organization similar to a foundation and hand over all the property to the foundation for management. Rock, Phyllis and the children are in the foundation You can hang up a job, you can work or not, and your salary will be paid as usual.

In this way, Roque doesn't have to worry about the so-called tax issues, because the property under Roque's name is managed by the foundation and will not be distributed to individuals, so there will be no problems like inheritance tax. Even if the children don't live up to expectations, because they don't participate in the management of the enterprise, they won't cause too much loss. At most, they just buy, buy, buy, Huahuahua. With the wealth that Rock owns, he will not go bankrupt if he buys, buys, buys Huahuahua casually.

To put it bluntly, let’s not talk about the real industry Rand Bank. As far as the properties purchased in Europe during the Christian World War were concerned, the Rock family and Ida Niang built them casually. It is estimated that even the rent was made. Not to that extent.

This has not counted the property under the name of Phyllis and Ada, a huge enterprise such as the Johannesburg Pharmaceutical Company, which is the pocket money that Rock gave Phyllis.

There are also a lot of industries under Ada's name. Do you still remember Table Mountain Bar and Oak Bar? Don't underestimate the bar industry. Anyone who knows it knows how profitable it is. Telling it is scary.

It can only be said that the Table Mountain Bar and Oak Bar all over southern Africa now generate more profits than the Johannesburg Pharmaceutical Company.

I haven't mentioned Eternal here yet. Compared with the large number of companies under Rock's name, luxury brands like Eternal have to stand aside, and the name doesn't deserve that kind of name.

ps: I came back late last night. An old friend I haven’t seen for many years came back from Tianjin. When I woke up in the morning, I found that the keycap of the keyboard was scratched all over the place. There was also a problem with the computer. It has not been restored yet. This chapter is It was coded with a mobile phone, but brothers, don’t worry, it’s still the fourth watch today.
