Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1344 No Successor

After the first debate, Hoover returned to the Republican campaign headquarters in Washington, greeted with warm congratulations from the staff.

"Sir, you are simply wonderful!"

"James Cox got beaten up—"

"This is the best debate I've ever heard—"

"Thank you, thank you—" Hoover smiled and shook hands with everyone enthusiastically. Leaving aside whether it was the most exciting debate, Hoover was still very satisfied with his performance.

Back at the office, Mike Carlisle was waiting for Hoover.

Mike Carlyle is Hoover's big benefactor. Since Hoover decided to run for the election, Mike Carlyle has donated 550 million US dollars to the Hoover team. Among all companies in the United States, the donation to Hoover is the largest.

"Herbert, well done!" Mike Carlisle gave Hoover a firm hug.

"Thank you Mike, but it's not enough now, we have to make persistent efforts." Hoover wanted to pursue the victory. In the era without TV networks, the attitudes of congressmen were enough to determine the direction of the campaign.

In another time and place, Harding conducted most of his campaign in his hometown of Marion.

Compared with Harding, Hoover has a huge advantage. Not only does he have the strength to conduct a national tour, but he also has the close cooperation of the American media, including radio and print media, who are more inclined to Hoover who pays attention to people's livelihood.

"Hehe, of course, the Lord entrusted me to deliver this to you." Mike Carlisle put a check on the table and gently pushed it to Hoover.

Hoover picked it up, looking dizzy with the string of zeros on the check.

500 million dollars!

This is by far the largest single donation the Hoover team has received.

"Thank you Lord for me—no, I will send a telegram to Lord later." When Hoover saw the figure, his heart skipped a beat. What is the concept of 500 million? The cost of the "Tennessee" class battleship is only 2200. Ten thousand.

Rock invested so much in Hoover, and the return he wants must be huge, which Hoover is not very worried about.

When American companies hope to open up the Commonwealth market, Rock also hopes to open up the American market.

The United States adjusted its trade policy after the World War, increased import tariffs, reduced export tariffs, protected American companies, and free trade?

Ha ha!

The current United States does not have an advantage in the high-tech field. The automobile and aircraft represent the pinnacle of modern industry. Southern Africa has a huge advantage.

After the end of the World War, southern Africa poached many high-quality talents from Europe. Now almost every large enterprise in southern Africa has established a technology research and development department. The universities in southern Africa have finally got rid of the embarrassing situation of talent shortage. Orange State has established Orange University, and the faculty is actually quite good.

Give southern Africa another 20 years, and the technological advantages of southern Africa will be even greater.

Once Hoover is elected president of the United States, Hoover will adjust the foreign trade policy of the United States and give proper care to southern Africa. This is an unspoken rule in American politics, and no one can be an exception.

"The lord has promised that once you are successfully elected, the lord will conduct more in-depth cooperation with American companies. In fact, they are currently negotiating. Carnegie, Rockefeller, DuPont, and even Ford are all in contact with southern African companies. We can definitely Complementary advantages, rather than vicious competition as some people imagine." Mike Carlisle is good at dancing, and according to his investment in Hoover, once Hoover is elected, Mike Carlisle may even enter the cabinet as a minister. of.

American companies do not completely reject capital from southern Africa. These capitalists in the United States are actually talented people. The cost of goods in southern Africa is low. If there is malicious competition, American companies really do not have an advantage.

Therefore, it is the kingly way to unite to reach a price alliance. A country with poor resources like Japan is not qualified to participate in this feast.

"Yes, there is no fundamental conflict of interest between the United States and southern Africa. If we unite, we will have enough strength to overthrow the previous international order and usher in a new era." Africa undercuts the British Empire.

To overthrow the old order is obviously the colonial system dominated by Britain and France.

Well, France was pulled over to accompany it, but it was actually dominated by the United Kingdom.

"Yes, some things are outdated, it's time to make changes—" Mike Carlisle doesn't mind breaking the market monopoly of various countries, and southern Africa is also salivating for the US market.

The Commonwealth of Nations and the Commonwealth of Nations sound good. In fact, the market of the Commonwealth of Nations is not that big without India. The total population of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and southern Africa is not as large as that of the United States.

Although India has a large population, except for the Dalits at the bottom, there are actually not many people with enough consumption power. Although the Dalits at the bottom have consumption needs, they do not have the consumption ability. Not high, the market size looks large, but in fact the volume is small.

Including food.

Rock himself did not expect that when tens of millions of people died of starvation in India due to severe famine a few years ago, India would still be able to export food to the British mainland.

Farmers in India would rather sell grain to British farmers to feed their cattle than to sell grain at low prices in India to Dalits who are struggling on the verge of death.

It is difficult for the British to understand this behavior.

Rock can understand that India has never been a whole country, with more than 100 ethnic groups in its territory, it is difficult to generate the same centripetal force as southern Africa.

To put it bluntly, when southern Africa was first established, the British whites also sat back and watched the Boers in southern Africa struggling on the verge of death and ignored them. They were essentially no different from the Brahmins in India.

As it turned out, how Hoover and James Cox performed in the first debate largely determined the course of the presidential election.

After the first debate, social surveys showed that Hoover, who valued people's livelihood, was significantly ahead of James Cox, who was tough on foreign affairs.

Americans are tired of war, and James Cox's stuff, which might have been popular a decade ago, is outdated now.

The news was sent back to Southern Africa. Rock was not surprised by the direction of the US election campaign. However, Rock didn't have the energy to pay attention to the US election. The Southern African Union was about to be established, and Rock's work has been very busy recently.

According to the results agreed by Philip and the presidents and prime ministers of various countries, after the establishment of the Southern African Union, the countries will substantially disarm accordingly, and the national defense will be in charge of Southern Africa.

Correspondingly, each country will pay half of the national defense expenditure in 1920 to the federal government of southern Africa as a price.

Several other countries are powerless to oppose this outright overlord clause. The Kingdom of Mozambique is most cooperative with Madagascar and West Africa. The Republic of Congo has an ambiguous attitude, while the Kingdom of Congo is quite critical. Barry is ambitious and unwilling to be reduced to the South African colonies.

"The Kingdom of Congo has also been militaristic in recent years. It has formed an army of nearly 20 people, some of which participated in the world war. Barry is not positive about the establishment of the Southern African Union. After the establishment of the Southern African Union, the Kingdom of Congo will also retain A part of the troops is about 5 people.” Stoudemire is very concerned about the Kingdom of Congo, and part of the Central African copper belt is located in the Kingdom of Congo.

When Southern Africa demarcated the border with the Republic of Congo, it also demarcated the border with the Kingdom of Congo. The western basin of the Congo River is in the request of Southern Africa. If the Kingdom of Congo agrees to the request of Southern Africa, the Kingdom of Congo will lose at least two-fifths of its land.

This area is also the most resource-rich area in the Kingdom of Congo. It not only has a large amount of copper and rare metals, but also has a large amount of forest resources and plantations, most of which are Barry's private property.

"5 people, two divisions, are the two divisions that participated in the World War?" Rock knew that during the World War, the Kingdom of Congo sent a total of nearly 20 people to Europe.

"Three divisions, these three divisions later participated in the intervention of the new Russian government. After the war, some people stayed in Europe, and some people went to the umbrella. The 5 people Barry wants to keep are because they participated in the world war It was established with veterans as the core." Stoudemire dismissed it.

Barry is also naive, and the Kingdom of the Congo, like the Republic of the Congo, relies entirely on the support of southern Africa to meet the needs of maintaining troops.

Once Southern Africa stops supporting the Kingdom of Congo, the troops of the Kingdom of Congo will be in a desperate situation of running out of ammunition and food, and they will not be able to buy arms with money.

Oh, Barry has no money, and even if he had money, he would not be willing to give it up. Most of the time, he would exchange it with resources.

"Fitch, call His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Congo. I'll treat him to dinner tonight." Rock decided to call Barry over to beat him.

"Oh, that guy is also worthy?" Xiao Si looked disgusted, the king and the king are different.

A Barry is definitely not worthy, Rock also invited Aldridge and Isaac Pansy, Anthony Bowman, and Robert from Madagascar.

Stoudemire and Henry accompanied him.

Just before the dinner began, Rock received an unexpected news. Just this afternoon, the young king of the Kingdom of Mozambique suddenly fell ill and died after rescue failed.

The little king is Zhaza's 26th son. From this ranking, we can see Zhaza's fertility. If Zhaza is given enough time, maybe Zhaza can really give birth to a country.

This little guy had a mother who was very capable. After the little guy became king, other sons of Zhazha died due to various accidents. Now Zhazha has dozens of sons, and only the little guy is left.

As a result, the little guy died of illness before he was an adult and left no heirs. As a result, the royal family of the Kingdom of Mozambique became extinct and had no successors.
