Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1564
At present in 1925, countries have recovered from the economic crisis one after another, and international competition is facing an unprecedentedly fierce situation.

Take automobiles as an example. Ten years ago, only Diesel and Ford were able to mass-produce automobiles in the world.

In recent years, competition in the automobile market has been intensifying. Britain has Rolls-Royce and MG, France has Renault, Italy has Alfa Romeo and Fiat, and even Japan's Mitsubishi produced the first small passenger car in 1917.

In Ada's view, Rock's spin-off of large enterprises will undoubtedly intensify internal conflicts, affect the competitiveness of southern African enterprises, and make them lose ground in international competition.

In fact, this question is not viewed this way. At the beginning, Rock insisted on splitting Nyasaland Automobile into Nyasaland Automobile and Nyasaran Heavy Industries, and later helped Stoudemire to establish Rhodesia Automobile Company. Criticized for self-destructing the Great Wall.

Facts have proved that breaking the monopoly of Nyasaland Automobile on the southern African auto market will play a decisive role in the development of the southern African auto industry.

You must know that Lord Cars had not undergone any improvements and upgrades for 15 consecutive years before Rock split Nyasaran Motors.

This is also understandable, just like Ford's unchanging Model T car, since the sales of Lord cars are very good, there is no need to make changes.

After the spin-off of Nyasaland Automobile, Nyasaland Automobile's monopoly on the market was broken, and products had to be upgraded and upgraded. At the same time, it was necessary to increase investment in the low-end market and new models. The southern African auto market Immediately full of life.

Now the cars produced in southern Africa have covered almost all types of cars, off-road, pickups, trucks, etc., and are fully equipped with high, middle and low grades. There are at least three brands competing with each other under each type, which prompts the three car companies to rack their brains. To provide customers with cars with better performance, cheaper prices, and smoother appearance, otherwise they would not have to compete in the international market, and would have no chance to go out of southern Africa.

There is a joke that Wang Laoji and Jia Duobao fought, and in the end they found out that He Qizheng was gone.

The same is true for southern Africa, where the three auto companies are doing their best in southern Africa, and the European auto companies are out of luck.

In May of the previous year, Nyasaran Motors acquired Rolls-Royce. Last year, Rhodesia Motors acquired MG and German Mercedes. At the beginning of this year, Nyasaland Heavy Industries acquired the shares of Fiat and Bavaria Engine Manufacturing Plant. Ltd.

Don't know which Bavarian Engine Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is?
It doesn't matter, this company also has a name called BMW.

As for Mitsubishi—

Sorry, the three car companies all look down on Mitsubishi, and there is no such thing as Ertian Lianying. It will take another few decades to be established. Now the only company that can compete with southern African cars is still Ford.

Even in the domestic market of the United States, Ford is losing ground in the face of competition from Washington Motors. The news of Ford’s frequent salary cuts and layoffs came out the year before last, and the five-dollar-a-day salary has become history.

While Roque was fine-tuning southern Africa, negotiations were underway between France and Madagascar.

Representing France in Cyprus was French Foreign Minister Aristide Briand.

Representing Madagascar in the negotiations was Southern African lawyer James Francis.

As soon as the negotiations began, Briand questioned Francis' qualifications.

It can't be blamed on Briand, a southern African lawyer, who actually participated in the negotiations on behalf of Madagascar, which sounds very unreliable.

"There is no doubt, I am French in southern Africa. I was born in Paris, grew up in Cape Town, and qualified as a lawyer in London. Now I am hired by the Madagascar government to represent Madagascar in negotiations." Francis is not in a hurry, Cyprus Although it is Arthur's fiefdom, the commander of the League of Nations peacekeeping force has been replaced by French general Charles Mangin. Briand hopes that President Robert of Madagascar can personally participate in the negotiations, but unfortunately this is impossible.

Robert is not stupid, and he has no hope for the bottom line of the French government. If Robert comes to Cyprus, he may be directly arrested or assassinated by the French. This is not unusual in French politics.

Far from being uncommon, it is simply the norm. The abnormal death rate of French politicians is the highest in the world.

"Why are you a lawyer negotiating on behalf of Madagascar?" Briand was very disappointed. In order to maintain the pressure on Madagascar, the French expeditionary force is still in Réunion, and it is actually hard to get off.

The so-called "maintain pressure" is the hope of the French government. In fact, the Malagasy people have no pressure, and the pressure is all on the side of the French government.

The battleships of the French Expeditionary Force are indeed powerful, but they dare not even go out of the port, so what's the use of being powerful.

"You can talk about it or not. If not, I can return to Madagascar now." Francis didn't care, if he talked about it, he would talk about it, and if he didn't talk about it, he would fail.

"Your attitude is not at all negotiating!" Brian slapped the table directly.

"Then let's not talk about it—" Francis didn't argue, and spread his hands as you like.

So the first day of negotiations broke up unhappy.

In the evening, Arthur, as the landlord, hosted a banquet for Briand and Francis.

In a few days, Arthur would be returning to southern Africa to prepare for his wedding, and he really didn't have time to spend in Cyprus.

"Your Excellency, if you want to end all this as soon as possible, then you must accept this reality." At the banquet, Arthur took the initiative to communicate with Brien.

"I also want to end all this as soon as possible, but I must fight for the benefits that France deserves." Briand was also worried.

Not far from Arthur and Briand, Francis was chatting happily with a group of southern African businessmen.

Cyprus is the bridgehead of southern Africa in the Mediterranean, and many southern African companies have their European headquarters in Cyprus.

Madagascar is still very attractive to southern African companies. The heads of southern African companies in Cyprus all want to see if there is any opportunity through Francis.

As a businessman, forming good karma is a basic operation, and it doesn't matter whether it is justice or injustice.

"It's very simple to strive for the best interests. Send enough troops to attack Madagascar and kill all the Malagasy people. Naturally, Madagascar belongs to France." Charles Manking deserves to be called the "butcher", he is the commander-in-chief of the peacekeeping force Officer, it has nothing to do with "peace".

This is actually an angry statement. Charles Manking is well aware of the current situation in France.

When François Marshall decided to return to Madagascar, it was unanimously opposed by the French and military, and Charles Mangin did not agree.

Now France can't afford the consumption of war, let alone a labor-intensive expedition.

However, for Francois Marshall, launching a war is an effective way to divert domestic conflicts, and it can also stimulate economic development, and Francois Marshall has no choice.

It is a pity that Francois Marshall underestimated the anti-war sentiment in France, so he resigned after only seven days as prime minister.

"A desolate Madagascar is worthless to France." Arthur laughed dumbly. This is the biggest difference between France and southern Africa.

Southern Africa has stable immigration resources, so it has always wanted land but not people.

France, on the other hand, has a limited population. In order to attract more immigrants to the French mainland, France even accepts colonial Africans with open arms. Where can I find people to fill Madagascar?
"The most-favored-nation treatment cannot guarantee the interests of France. If the Malagasy people really want peace, they must fully protect the interests of France. This is the prerequisite for negotiations." Briand hopes that Arthur can mediate.

The French government is not satisfied with the most-favored-nation treatment proposed by Madagascar.

What Briand hopes is that France can obtain various resources from Madagascar at the price the French government wants, and at the same time, Madagascar can give the French government a special preference in terms of taxation.

To put it bluntly, France wants to buy resources from Madagascar, but the French government has the final say on how much.

And Madagascar's taxes should be as low as possible, preferably none.

"Sir, Madagascar is no longer a French colony—" Arthur was also helpless, times have changed, my lord!
Even in colonial times, such a situation could not have happened.

In Madagascar during the colonial era, in order to maintain the rule of the colonial government, the French government had to fully consider the interests of the colonial government, and sometimes even had to post money to ensure the order of the colony.

Such conditions were not possible in the colonial era, and are even more impossible now.

"Be realistic, Aristide, what you said is impossible anywhere in the world." Austin also came to Cyprus as a mediator.

"This is the bottom line of the negotiation!" Brian was still stubborn.

"Very well, then go talk about it yourself, and I'll return to London tomorrow." Austin simply said, since the French didn't listen to persuasion, Austin didn't want to waste his words.

"Hmm, I'm going back to southern Africa too—" Arthur also wanted to give up his picks, anyway, it was impossible for the French and the Malagasy to fight in Cyprus.

"Hehe, my lord, say hello to Locke for me—" Austin and Rock have a good relationship, and the Chamberlain family has also received an invitation to Arthur's wedding. This face must be given, Neville and Austin must have at least one turn up.

"Thank you——" Arthur and Austin had a lively chat, and immediately left Brienne behind.

Brian was very depressed. Brian was not invited to Arthur's wedding, and Brian couldn't get in even if he wanted to.

Probably Arthur and Austin's warning to Brian had an effect, and the negotiation started again three days later, this time Brian's attitude was much better.

ps: On the last day, I pushed everything today to see how much I can code——
