Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1487 Ming Dynasty in the 17th Century

The Times need not be reminded that the expansion of the Labor Party has long attracted the attention of the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party.

The United Kingdom, like the United States, is a country that implements a two-party system. Compared with the multi-party system represented by France, the two-party system is relatively stable. The ruling party is responsible for forming the cabinet, and the opposition party is responsible for supervision, and jointly maintain the leadership of the bourgeoisie over the country.

The early two parties in Britain were the Whig Party, which later evolved into the Liberal Party, and the Tory Party, which later evolved into the Conservative Party.

The Whig Party represented the interests of the emerging bourgeoisie and the new aristocracy, while the Tory Party represented the interests of the landlord class and the feudal aristocracy.

For hundreds of years, the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party have taken turns in power in the UK. There has never been a third party that can pose a threat to the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party. The sudden emergence of the Labor Party in recent years has attracted the attention of the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party.

When Winston first entered politics, he ran for election as a Conservative Party.

But then Winston broke with the top Conservative Party, and now Winston is now a Liberal Party.

The Conservative Party is deeply rooted in the UK, while the Liberal Party is gradually being replaced by the Labor Party because its insistence on free trade is no longer in the national interest of the UK. This is not good news for Winston.

"The November re-election may be an opportunity or a disaster, especially for the Liberal Party. From now on, we will gradually alienate the Liberal Party." Winston's judgment of the situation is very clear. Britain has caused great harm. Britain did not return to the top of the world immediately after the war, and the disappointment of the British people with the British government is spreading.

For ordinary Britons, which party won the ruling position will not bring about fundamental changes in their lives. Since the Conservative and Liberal parties have not brought Britain back to the top of the world, why can't the Labor Party try? Woolen cloth?
At least compared with the Liberal Party, which represents the interests of the bourgeoisie, and the Conservative Party, which represents the interests of the aristocracy, the Labor Party, which has been fighting for the interests of ordinary British people, may really bring some changes to the UK.

"Then we want to join the Labor Party?" Winston's assistant, Calvin, came from a declining noble family. It is hard to imagine that Winston, who was a descendant of the Duke of Marlborough and who once led Britain to win the World War, would not be in the British political arena. a true friend.

Therefore, after Winston led Britain to win the World War, he was immediately abandoned by London, and even lost his seat in the House of Commons.

During those days that Winston called "the years in the field", no politician was willing to listen to Winston's voice, so Winston went to southern Africa to make movies and write memoirs very depressed.

Of course, for someone like Winston, even "in the field" will not be lonely, and his memoir has just won the Nobel Prize in Literature, "for his mastery of the art of history and biography and his defense of noble human values. brilliant speech".

"Of course not, we don't join the Labor Party, and we don't join the Conservative Party—" Winston seemed to be repeating the same trick.

After breaking with the Conservative Party, Winston once regarded himself as an "independent Conservative" and sat in the Liberal Party seat.

Now Winston seems to want to sit in the Labor Party seat again in the name of "independent Liberal Party".

In this way, perhaps Winston will set a record. He will be rejected by both the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party, and the Labor Party will not accept him, because referring to Winston's historical behavior, no one can guarantee Winston's future. In the years and years, will he sit in the opposition party seat again as an "independent Labor Party member".

Perhaps this is the best commentary on "the truth is always in the hands of a few".

Calvin was completely confused. He probably felt that Winston was committing suicide.

"We are running as 'independent thinkers' this time, and we want to draw attention to the re-emergence of Germany. Once Germany re-emerges, the whole of Europe will be in Germany's shadow, and the tragedy of the world war will be repeated. "Winston's political sense is undoubtedly keen, and the report of "The Times" provided Winston with a new way of thinking.

When they were in southern Africa, Winston and Roque had an in-depth discussion on the German issue. Roque insisted that after more than ten or twenty years, the world war would break out again.

At that time, Winston still had doubts about Rock's judgment. Now it seems that Rock's prophecy is gradually being played out. Occupying the Ruhr area, the "Dawwes Plan" has only just been implemented, and it is facing the danger of failure.

What Winston has to play now is the role of "everyone is drunk and I am sober", constantly reminding people of the threat of formal war. Although the British are not interested in war now, once war breaks out again, people will Think of Winston.

At that time, Winston will return to the center of power.

"Okay, then we need the cooperation of the Times News Corporation." Calvin will fully cooperate with Winston's decision.

Winston is full of confidence. The Times News Corporation is definitely fine. Now it depends on how much advantage the Labor Party can gain in the election at the end of the year.

Like the smug Winston, Neville, who is serving as Chancellor of the Exchequer in Stanley Baldwin's cabinet, is also worried about the difficult "Dawes Plan".

"We are going to reconvene representatives from various countries to hold a meeting in London to discuss whether it is necessary to continue the 'Dawes Plan'. Maybe we can directly give Germany an ultimatum and ask them to pay reparations, and at the same time warn France not to give the Germans too much money." That will further intensify the confrontation between Germany and France." Neville in this time and space was influenced by Rock, and his attitude towards Germany is not unlimited appeasement.

Neville in another time and space is actually not blindly compromising. Neville wants to strive for peace to the greatest extent and avoid the outbreak of war as much as possible. It is a pity that Neville's efforts are useless in the face of mustache's growing ambition. Coupled with the fanning of a certain street financier, it eventually led to the outbreak of World War II.

Don’t think that the Americans’ aid to Germany is what the Americans call “humanitarianism.” This word has been played by the Americans. The United Kingdom wants to maintain the balance of the European continent, while the United States wants to fish in troubled waters. If Europe does not become chaotic, what will the United States do? Chance?

That is to say, the United States later became the world's policeman, and no one mentioned the nasty things the United States did during the two world wars, otherwise the United States would be nailed to the pillar of shame forever.

"Putting aside the problems of Germany and France, our most urgent problem now is the general election at the end of the year. The rise of the Labor Party is irreversible. We must ensure a majority of seats in the House of Commons to ensure the ruling power of the Conservative Party." Stanley Baldwin is not in the mood to pay attention to the "Dawes Plan". Once the Conservative Party loses in the general election at the end of the year, the Conservative Party may lose its status as the ruling party, which is more important to the Conservative Party.

Neville could only look up to the sky and sigh. The current British Empire is just like the Ming Empire in the 17th century.

"The Labor Party cannot be allowed to gain power. Even if we form a coalition with the Liberal Party, the Labor Party must be blocked outside the door of No. [-] Downing Street." Foreign Secretary Austin Chamberlain is full of vigilance against the Labor Party. The Chancellor of the Exchequer fully demonstrates the influence of the Chamberlain family on British politics.

Speaking of "coalition formation", Stanley Baldwin's expression immediately became gloomy.

When Stanley Baldwin was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, the Conservative Party had an absolute advantage in the House of Commons. Stanley Baldwin originally did not need to hold a general election to spend his five-year term steadily.

It is a pity that when the former Prime Minister Andrew Bonar Law was in office, he promised that as long as there was no general election, the tariff would not be revised.

The situation that the UK is now facing has to revise tariffs to protect the interests of British companies, so Stanley Baldwin is forced to hold an early general election.

The issues involved in modifying the tariffs are very complicated. If the tariffs are raised, it will indeed bring some protection to British companies, but it will also objectively affect the interests of some people and cause other derivative problems.

This is also the real reason why Rock reminded Henry to be prepared to face failure.

Labor is not alone in noticing the deluge of southern African goods; the ruling Conservative Party is equally aware of the problem.

The problem is that the Labor Party only needs to shout slogans if it wants to win voters, while the ruling Conservative Party needs to make real changes if it wants to win voters. This is also the biggest dilemma of the two-party system.

It is said that regardless of whether the ruling party is the Conservative Party or the Liberal Party, any adjustment to the British policy will affect the interests of some people, and then the ruling party will lose this part of the vote.

"It's not that serious yet, but once we actually revise the tariffs, it's hard to say-" Neville is the treasurer, and he is more sensitive to the economic part.

"Neville, contact Locke, we have to think of a way to increase government revenue without allowing the British to increase spending." Stanley Baldwin decided to sacrifice the interests of southern African companies.

Neville frowned.

It is not easy to achieve this. Raising tariffs will definitely affect commodity prices. In the past, there was almost no tariff on southern African commodities entering the UK. Now that tariffs are raised, the prices of southern African commodities will also increase accordingly, otherwise it will affect southern Africa. business profits.

Stanley Baldwin is also clearly meaning to hope that this will all be carried by Southern African businesses.

But Neville has no confidence in whether Rock will meet Stanley Baldwin's request.
