Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1596 Old Versailles
In the media industry, sharp words are called attitude.

But for Coolidge, Rock's press conference was to set him on fire.

Roque has already stated that reducing tariffs is for the benefit of the people, leaving more profits to enterprises, reducing the cost of living of the people, and promoting global economic prosperity.

What else could Coolidge say?
Let Roque finish all the words.

What caught Coolidge even more off guard was that the day after Rock held a press conference, Hoover made it clear in a radio interview that he supported the reduction of tariffs and urged the U.S. government to reach an agreement with the federal government of Southern Africa as soon as possible.

"There is no doubt that the Marquis of Nyasaland was a true gentleman, and his words are thought-provoking, worthy of reflection by each of us - the Marquis of Nyasaland is also a true knight, his humility, his honor, his Compassion, as well as humility and justice are worth learning from each of us, we were friends a long time ago, when I was working in the Far East, and the Marquis of Nyasaland was working in the Pretoria Police Department in Southern Africa—” Hu Fo boasted a lot in Roque, of course it was also to brag about himself.

When Hoover said these words, he probably forgot the scene when he met Rock for the first time.

It doesn't matter, as a politician, you have to have the psychological quality to be self-reliant, and you have to be able to endure the humiliation of your crotch——

It's not something people do anyway.

Listening to the voice from the radio, Coolidge's body was stiff, his gaze was dull, his breathing was rapid, and his face was flushed——

It cannot be described any more, otherwise strange things will appear.

Don't get me wrong, his face is flushed because the fireplace is a little hot. Although it is already May, Washington is experiencing a rare cold spring.

Don't talk about whether there will be a cold spring in May, it says "rare".

"Mr. Vice President is too much, how can he say that-" Frank Kellogg's face was ugly. As the Secretary of State of the United States, he had to make an appointment to say anything on the radio. Hoover is obviously not an appointment, and it was arranged early in the morning Understand.

But you can't ask about this matter. Asking is because our beautiful country has its own national conditions.

Don't listen to what the Americans say. The media can have no position, but capital has a position, and the media is controlled by capital. Everyone understands this logic.

The current United States does not pay enough attention to the position of public opinion. It will not be until the Cold War period that the thinking will gradually shift from the hot war to the cold war.

This is cheaper for Roque, Roque is willing to spend money, and with the blessing of the Marquis of Nyasaland, Americans are willing to work for a British Marquis, not to mention that Roque's salary is quite generous, what are the benefits? It's not bad, so in this era, Roque shouldn't be too comfortable,

Unlike the media's overwhelming reports, the radio's reports are subtle.

The media of this era is still thinking at the level of "demonization". During the World War, the United States described the Germans as devils who cannibalize people. There are actually many Americans who believe that the Germans are devils, even if their Neighbors may be German.

The media controlled by Roque never does this. In terms of brainwashing, soft articles are far more sharp and effective than "demonization". Of course, Roque will not forget such things as "summer camp", "sewer", and "cooking fairy". The classic case of class, in the 21st century has been a rotten meme, this era is a refreshing new thing.

"It's all interests, it's normal." Treasury Secretary Mellon is as stable as an old dog. He is the Mellon who "Mellon blew the whistle, Hoover rang the bell, Wall Street signaled, and the United States rushed to hell".

The Mellon family is one of the top ten consortiums in the United States. It is a monopoly capital group that started with finance. The financial institutions controlled by the Mellon consortium include, in addition to Mellon National Bank, Pittsburgh National Bank and General Reinsurance Company.

In addition to financial institutions, the Mellon consortium also controls Alcoa, which has a monopoly in the U.S. aluminum product industry, and has dabbled in steel, petroleum, chemical, electrical, and even weapon manufacturing.

"What should we do?" Coolidge was in a state of confusion. It was a careless move and he lost everything. Rock hadn't exerted his strength yet, and Coolidge had already lost his position.

"Sign an agreement with southern Africa as soon as possible." Mellon supports lowering tariffs.

Although the reduction of tariffs will also have a certain impact on the business of the Mellon family, the core interest of the Mellon family lies in finance. If southern Africa and the United States relax restrictions on each other, the Mellon family can also enter southern Africa, which is very important for the Mellon family. It's a good thing to say.

Today's enterprises are no longer the era of single-handed monopoly in the last century. Cross-holding acquisitions and mergers are very normal. The Specific Tire & Rubber Company is also jointly controlled with the Rockefeller, Chicago, and Cleveland consortia; the Westinghouse Electric Company is also jointly controlled with the Rockefeller consortium.

"In this case, the country—" Frank Kellogg worried that the country would not be able to explain.

Mellon couldn't help laughing, what time is this, and he is still worried about domestic approval ratings. Hoover said on the radio that Coolidge had lost his chance of re-election.

In another time and space, Coolidge decided not to participate in the next presidential election. A reporter asked Coolidge why, and Coolidge said that he had lost interest in the career of president.

No, what Coolidge was saying was: "The President has no chance of promotion!"

Listen, this could be what the president should say, just like the richest man saying he regrets founding that thing, it's heartbreaking.

The true originator of Versailles literature.

"There is no time to think about these things. We need to calm down the emotions of the people first." Coolidge also panicked. Not signing a contract with southern Africa would damage the interests of the American people. Why has the matter evolved to such an extent?
When Coolidge was suffering, MacArthur was suffering too.

After Leonard Wood was transferred back to the United States, MacArthur took over Leonard Wood's mess and became the US Governor in the Philippines.

The Philippines in 1925 can be described in four words: the economy is depressed, the people's livelihood is difficult, internal and external troubles, and wolves are around.

The Philippines covers an area of ​​29.97 square kilometers and has a population of about 800 million. After the Spanish-American War in 1898, the Philippines became a colony of the United States.

After the end of the World War, the conflict between the United States and Japan intensified in Asia. As the largest colony of the United States in Asia, the Philippines faced the threat of Japan's Eighth Fleet at any time.

During Leonard Wood's tenure as governor, the conflict between the US colonial government in the Philippines and southern Africa intensified, and at the same time led to tensions with Britain and the East India. Life is not easy.

But at this time, a protracted rebellion broke out in Palawan Island. The colonial government was unable to quell it and completely lost control of Palawan Island. Therefore, the situation MacArthur faced after taking office was internal and external difficulties.

"Southern Africans are recruiting workers in Manila to go to the Lion City to build the Changi Naval Base. The progress of the Changi Naval Base is very fast. Southern Africa is further expanded on the original basis and includes Tekong Island and part of Johor State, and Compared with before, the total area has expanded to at least 150 square kilometers." MacArthur's deputy is also an acquaintance of Rock's - Patton.

Not the Southern African Patton, but the "California Boy" Patton.

After the World War, Patton's work was frequently transferred. He first served in the cavalry, and then was transferred to study the armor. After studying for a while, he was transferred back to the cavalry because of the rise of American isolationism. Then went to the Army Military Academy for further study.

After MacArthur was appointed as the governor of the Philippines, he naturally thought of Patton, a fierce general who performed well during the World War, so he chose Patton as his partner.

In order to make Patton's military rank worthy of the commander-in-chief of the US military stationed in the Philippines, the US Department of War also made an exception to award Patton the rank of major general.

"What are the southern Africans going to do?" MacArthur was angry and hated. He was angry at the failure of the US government and hated the rich and powerful of the Indian Ocean Fleet in southern Africa.

The total area of ​​the Lion City is only more than 700 square kilometers. After the expansion of the Changi Naval Base, the total area is almost equivalent to one-fifth of the Lion City.

The total area of ​​the previous Changi Naval Base was only 86 hectares, which was less than one square kilometer. Now Tekong Island is only 25 square kilometers smaller. With the addition of a part of Johor, the Indian Ocean Fleet is not trying to gain a foothold in the Strait of Malacca. Instead, they settled down in the Straits of Malacca.

"Once the Changi Naval Base is completed, Southern Africa will be able to control the entire Strait of Malacca by virtue of the Changi Naval Base, and then radiate more than half of Southeast Asia. Ships traveling to and from the Strait of Malacca will be monitored by the Southern African Indian Ocean Fleet. Some of them were drawn out to join the Umbrella Company, and they were given military training. What I am worried about now is that if these people return to the Philippines—” Patton’s heart is heavy. Southern Africa is not only a stronghold in Changi Naval Base in Southeast Asia, but also the entire East India. It can be regarded as a colony in southern Africa.

Of course, Southern Africa does not recognize colonies. After the end of the World War, Southern Africa and East India signed an alliance and became an alliance country. Once East India is attacked by a third country, Southern Africa will provide support to East India and even directly participate in the war. , the East India side is the same.

During the World War, East India troops participated in the British Expeditionary Force. Otherwise, after the World War, Germany's colonies in the Pacific Ocean would not be able to take over the East India.

"Contact General Tang Li of the East India Fleet, I want to talk to him—no, no, no, contact Luke Silva first, I want to hear what Luke Silva said." MacArthur's face was gloomy , this situation is absolutely not allowed to happen.
