Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1339 The Building Will Fall

In fact, the benefits of joining Southern Africa are also obvious.

Compared with neighboring countries and regions, Southern Africa is more stable and developed, and will not always face the threat of war. Even if there is, Southern Africa threatens other countries and regions.

In terms of living standards, Southern Africans are not a little better than those in neighboring countries and regions. Among neighboring countries and regions, even the Republic of Congo, which has a relatively good economic situation, the living standards of ordinary people are still higher than those in southern Africa. gap.

The "ordinary people" here refer to white people in the Republic of Congo, and Africans are ignored. In the Republic of Congo, Africans are also not included in the statistics.

Although I have been to Pretoria many times, Isaac Pansy will be more surprised every time I come to Pretoria.

Twenty years ago, Pretoria was still a small city with a population of less than 20 people, and the city occupied a small area. During the Second Boer War, most of Pretoria was destroyed by war, and there were no houses left. One, the entire city of Pretoria is basically rebuilt on the ruins.

Boma, the capital of the Republic of Congo, is also a city rebuilt on the ruins. Unlike Pretoria, Boma's current population does not exceed [-].

Moreover, Pretoria is not the largest city in southern Africa. Los Angeles, Port Edward, Salisbury, Cape Town, and even the newly developed Walvis Bay all have more people than Pretoria.

When Isaac Pansy came to Pretoria the year before last, only the main road from Milner Square (Church Square) to the railway station in Pretoria had street lights, and the lighting hours were limited, only at seven in the evening. The street lights will not be on until 11 o'clock at night.

Now all the main roads in Pretoria have installed street lights. The electricity in southern Africa seems to be free of money. The street lights will not be turned off throughout the night. Walking on the streets of Pretoria at night, the street lights and the stars in the sky The houses on both sides of the road are also lit up, and the whole city is brightly lit, like a fairyland.

Now, less than [-]% of the residents in Boma use electric lights.

Street lights are only installed in the square in front of the Presidential Palace, and because of poor management and lack of electricity, many street lights that have failed cannot be replaced in time, and the time for turning on the lights is strictly limited.

"How did they do it?" Isaac Pansy wondered.

"People in southern Africa have been building various hydropower stations. You should notice that because of the renovation of the reservoirs, many seasonal rivers in southern Africa will not dry up all year round. The reservoirs store water in the rainy season and release water in the dry season. Water conservancy is used rationally. The land on both sides of the river can be With better irrigation, Fawalt also has the largest coal-fired power plant in southern Africa, and half of the electricity in Pretoria and Johannesburg is provided by Fawalt.” Benson Moore, Prime Minister of the Republic of Congo, knows Southern Africa well .

Countries and regions around Southern Africa often send people to Southern Africa to learn from their experiences.

However, many things cannot be learned. Electricity is still a scarce resource. Neither Paris nor London can guarantee that every household can use electric lights, which is already the norm in southern Africa.

The key is that the price of electricity is expensive, and ordinary people cannot afford it if their economic conditions are slightly poor.

The electricity price in southern Africa is very cheap, thanks to the huge power generation capacity in southern Africa.

These power stations are provided by power companies in southern Africa.

And these power companies are not led by the federal government of Southern Africa, but invested by several large companies.

As a result, more and more electricity is used. Although the electricity price is low, the power company can also earn money and can build more power stations, thereby further increasing the power generation.

This has formed a virtuous circle in southern Africa, and neighboring countries and regions cannot learn from it even if they want to.

It's not that you can't learn it, it's that you can't do it.

Isaac Pansy stood on the balcony of the Rhodesia Hotel, looking at the brightly lit city in front of him in silence.

The power companies in southern Africa are actually not making money. Regardless of the high power generation capacity, in fact, if the huge basic investment is removed, they will not make money or lose money for so many years.

However, the bosses of power companies are not afraid. The big companies investing in power companies in southern Africa are mainly Rand Bank, South African Company, and Nyasaland Company. These companies are super companies covering multiple fields and across multiple countries. Big Macs do not make money in the basic areas of people's livelihood, and these companies can also make money in other areas.

Just like the engineering troops in southern Africa who build roads all day long, the newly built roads and railways in southern Africa are essentially owned by the above-mentioned large companies, but there is no toll on their roads, and passengers take trains or railways. Fees are still coming down.

Isaac Pencey can only sigh when he thinks of those rich people who spend all their time around plantations and forest resources in the Republic of Congo.

The gap between people is different.

The large enterprises in southern Africa have truly embraced the whole world and regard southern Africa as their own industry.

The plantations in the Republic of Congo don’t even want to pay taxes. Many people even live in southern Africa. They would rather pay the tax to the federal government of Southern Africa than the Republic of Congo.

This is because Southern Africa is better able to protect their interests.

"Southern Africa develops sustainable industries, and we can't sell southern Africa by selling resources alone." Benson Moore faced the reality, competition is impossible, and he was honest Be a kid, anyway, Benson Moore doesn't care.

Even if Southern Africa annexed the Republic of Congo, it would not have much impact on people like Benson Moore.

Instead, Benson Moore's family would even benefit from a stronger armed force in southern Africa.

Isaac Pansy's face was gloomy. He had a great desire for power, otherwise he would not have tested the bottom line of southern Africa through the arsenal.

It's a pity that that trial failed completely, and Rock didn't even need to come forward. Buck went to Boma, and then everything was wiped out, which directly led to a political shake-up in the Republic of Congo.

"Southern Africa is going to occupy Katanga now. Once Katanga is lost, we will not even have to sell our resources in the future—" Isaac Pansy looked desperate. Southern Africa is indeed kind to its citizens, and it treats neighboring countries and regions as well. It is really ruthless.

Before the Congo Free State was divided, copper reserves accounted for 15% of the world, cobalt reserves accounted for half of the world, niobium and tantalum reserves accounted for 80% of the world, diamond reserves accounted for 23% of the world, and forest areas accounted for 47% of the whole of Africa. %, accounting for 6.5% of the world——

It is such a country that is so rich in resources that it has everything it needs, but now it can only rely on exporting timber to southern Africa to survive.

Sad or not?

Paradise is too far away, Southern Africa is too close.

This time Benson Moore did not speak.

In fact, being annexed by Southern Africa is not a bad thing. At least after being annexed by Southern Africa, the Congolese can live better.

This may sound a bit ridiculous, but it is actually true.

At least Southern Africa hires Africans from the Republic of Congo to work with salaries, and they never default, let alone deduct money. The standard of living is not bad on weekdays. At least they have enough food and clothing, and they can add food every now and then. Meat.

The plantation owners in the Republic of Congo are no different from the former colonists. In their eyes, Africans are the means of production that can be consumed at will. It is already 1921, and slavery still exists in remote areas in the Republic of Congo. Can you believe it!

Of course, I am in favor of the annexation of the Republic of Congo by southern Africa. Benson Moore cannot say such words anyway. After all, he is the Prime Minister of the Republic of Congo.

"It's good to give up Katanga, then we, the Republic of Congo, probably won't have anything that South Africa is interested in." Isaac Pansy actually knew Benson Moore's attitude.

Although Benson Moore is an official of the Republic of Congo, his family lives in Nyasaland all year round. Benson Moore's children study in the best school in Nyasaland and enjoy world-class education. Education level, Benson Moore also bought a lot of assets in Nyasaland.

Many officials in the Republic of Congo do this.

In the current Republic of Congo, only Isaac Pansy is useless to oppose the occupation of Katanga in southern Africa.

"Go to bed early—" Benson Moore got up to leave, and what he said seemed to be a pun.

Walking out of the presidential suite where Isaac Pansy lived, Benson Moore suddenly sneered.

He kept his mouth shut for the sake of the Republic of Congo, and did not discount his personal enjoyment. The presidential suite at the Rhodesia Hotel costs 500 rand a night, which is the annual income of five middle-class people even by British standards.

"Sir, the king of William Company is waiting for you—" Benson Moore's secretary was waiting at the door of the presidential suite.

Benson Moore remained calm and quietly quickened his pace.

William's company is not well-known in southern Africa, but it is actually one of the peripheral companies of Brad's office. There are many such companies in southern Africa. The names are chosen casually, but the energy is not small.

When Benson Moore complained about Isaac Pansy, he didn't notice that he was actually living in the presidential suite.

"Your Excellency, good evening—" Wang is a young man in his 20s, maybe more than that. The appearance of Chinese people is always very confusing to white people. They look young and good at maintenance, unlike many white people. It looks shoddy, just like the defective products when God created man.

"Good evening, Wang, I hope you have the good news I want." Although Benson Moore is the Prime Minister of the Republic of Congo, he is essentially a businessman.

"Of course, Your Excellency, I contacted the Crocodile Bay Power Company for you. The Boma Power Company can be activated at any time." Wang smiled brightly.

Benson Moore's smile is even brighter, let the national interest go to hell, making money is the truth.
