Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1722 Run
It is said that Hoover was able to become president, and southern African companies also helped a lot. Among other things, they donated a lot of money.

Now that he has taken the money, he has to do things, and he can't become president and turn his back on the funder. In that case, Hoover's political career will basically come to an end.

"Wait Locke, what result do you want to get on the phone with Hoover?" Winston stopped Sidney.

"Of course I asked Hoover why he did this." Rock was confident. If Hoover didn't give Rock a reasonable explanation, then don't blame Rock for not remembering the past.

"No, no, now is not the best time. If you call now, it is tantamount to showing weakness to Hoover." Winston did not suggest that Rock contact Hoover now.

It seems to make sense, this is the same as two children fighting, you don't need to find the parents as soon as you come up, you need to fight back first.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Rock wanted to hear Winston's high opinion.

"Of course, counterattack in a reasonable way. The U.S. government launched a monopoly investigation against Adan, and the federal government of southern Africa can also launch an investigation against U.S. companies. Isn't Boeing negotiating technology transfer with Nyasaland Airlines? Technical limitations—” Winston wanted to strangle the neck of the United States.

Rock was stunned, and used technical restrictions to pinch the neck of the United States——

This sounds a bit magical.

In fact, it is not magical at all. The United States in 1927 was not as strong as it was a few decades later in terms of technology, and it was not even as strong as the United States in another time and space.

After World War I, the United States acquired a large number of scientists from Europe, not only from Germany, but also many British and French researchers immigrated to the United States, which greatly narrowed the technological gap between the United States and Europe.

In this time and space, compared with the United States, southern Africa is more attractive to Europeans, and even many Americans have immigrated to southern Africa, and Robert Goddard is a representative of them.

"Winston, what does the London side say?" Rock is not alone, and the British princes and nobles should have a greater reaction to this matter.

"What—" Winston was at a loss for a moment. This was a matter between southern Africa and the United States, and London didn't seem to have much to do with it.

"Don't tell me London has nothing to say about the U.S. investigation of Adan Company?" Rock was dissatisfied. Even if the British government didn't speak up, the shareholders of Adan Company could not stand by and watch the interests of Adan Company be damaged.

It's all about interests.

"Of course not. London is discussing how to counter it, but you also know that it will take time." Winston vaguely said that the United States and southern Africa are at odds, which is a good thing for Britain.

Although southern Africa and the United States have had differences in recent years, the overall environment is still positive. Whether it is aid to Germany or cooperation and trade, they have extensive common interests.

This is not a good thing for the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom does not want the relationship between southern Africa and the United States to get too close. Therefore, regarding the investigation of Adan by the United States government, from the information fed back by Yang Smotz, London's attitude It's a bit ambiguous.

"Okay, until the U.S. government completes the investigation, Adan Company temporarily loses the US market, so Adan Company may reduce production appropriately, and the dividend payment for the fourth quarter of last year may also be suspended." Dan's company pays a lot of dividends, and when something happens, it shrinks its head and acts like a turtle. How can there be such a good thing.

"Lock, you will offend a lot of people by doing this." Winston frowned immediately, since Adan Company did not pay dividends, Winston's interests would also suffer.

"It doesn't matter, if the shareholders are not satisfied, they can quit—" Rock is not afraid of offending people. If the shareholders of Adan Company want to sell the shares of Adan Company, many people will rush to take over.

"Hahahaha, yes, Winston, if you want to sell the stocks you hold, I can give you a price that satisfies you." Stoudemire fanned the flames. He is also a shareholder of Adan Company. How much is the dividend.

Winston didn't speak. Rock's move hit a lot of people's pain points, and it was impossible to stay out of it.

This is the benefit of absolute holdings. Nezhi Petroleum Company has already started to develop the Nezhi Oilfield, so Adan Company cuts production, and Rock's interests will not be lost. The losses on Adan Company's side can be made up by Nezhi Petroleum Company .

The other shareholders of Adan Company are very depressed. They do not have shares in Nezhi Petroleum Company. If Adan Company cuts production, their interests will suffer huge losses.

This is the reduction in production, and it hasn't stopped production yet. Don't think that Rock can't do this kind of thing.

Just when Roark was going to tie London to a chariot to fight back against the United States, Yang Smotz was also trying to win the support of Stanley Baldwin at No. [-] Downing Street in London.

Stanley Baldwin has been in a bad mood recently. The resumption of coal workers did not free the Conservative Party government from the vortex. Instead, the Labor Party's continuous attacks made things worse.

The British Parliament was also disappointed that the Conservative Party government failed to prevent the strike. Some members of the Conservative Party cabinet publicly demanded the collective resignation of the Conservative Party cabinet in the newspaper. Although George V was noncommittal about this, Stanley Baldwin felt that the danger was approaching.

At this time, the U.S. government launched an investigation on Adan Company. If Stanley Baldwin handled it properly, he might be able to get through this crisis of trust smoothly.

"The U.S. government's investigation of Adan Company stems from the vicious competition of Standard Oil. We should use all available forces to fight back and let the Americans know that they cannot do whatever they want." Yang Smozi was very angry. It has been a week since the government launched an investigation into Adan, but London has not made any statement. This is not normal.

"Yang, for a country like the United States, we must be cautious in everything. We are evaluating the consequences of countermeasures against the United States. We must express our attitude without causing the situation to deteriorate further." Stanley Baldwin is also in a dilemma.

Inside the UK, there are strong calls for counterattacks against the US.

At the same time, there are also high voices for maintaining good relations with the United States.

The United Kingdom's attitude towards the United States is also very complicated. The United Kingdom needs American capital to assist Germany in order to maintain the United Kingdom's continental balance policy.

At the same time, the United Kingdom also needs the United States to suppress Japan, and even suppress southern Africa. After all, compared with the transformed southern Africa, the United States, like the United Kingdom, is a country dominated by Anglo-Saxons.

But for southern Africa, the British government can’t just ignore it. After the news of Adan’s decision to cut production came out, calls for counterattacks against the United States became louder and louder. Some people suggested that British capital investment in the US stock market should be restricted instead Giving money to the white-eyed wolf of the United States is not as good as giving money to southern Africa, which is obviously better.

As mentioned earlier, every avalanche in the U.S. stock market is a robbery for European investors, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a bloodbath.

"Don't forget that Southern Africa is also a Commonwealth of Nations. Even Canada and Australia have extended a helping hand to Southern Africa. Shouldn't London be responsible?" Yang Smolzy didn't have so many worries, and he had to be tough when he needed to tough.

"No, no, Yang, it's not that easy—" Stanley Baldwin hadn't made up his mind yet, and it was obvious that he was sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.

"Your Excellency, you will disappoint all members of the Commonwealth of Nations. Believe me, the loss caused by indecision to the British Empire is definitely greater than the loss caused by counterattacking the United States." Yang Smozi was very disappointed. Many times , between southern Africa and Great Britain, Yang Smother's feelings are mostly inclined to England.

Now, for the first time, Yang Smother had doubts about his decision.

While London hesitated, counterattacks in southern Africa had already begun.

Although American companies do not have many interests in Southern Africa, Southern Africa has decisively launched an investigation on American companies. Let’s not talk about the strength of the counterattack, but at least show an attitude.

On February [-]th, the Federal Government of Southern Africa decided to conduct an anti-dumping investigation on US Steel Corporation to determine whether there is any monopoly behavior of US Steel Corporation in Southern Africa.

The U.S. Steel Corporation is more wronged than Dou E. There is indeed a monopoly in the southern African steel market, but it is not the U.S. Steel Corporation, but the Fawalt Steel Group.

This is just the beginning. On February [-]th, Adan Company announced production cuts, and the stocks of American oil companies rose sharply for a short time. However, at noon, Nezhi Oil Company announced that the first oil well had successfully produced oil. Stocks fell sharply, this time even Standard Oil was not spared.

Adan Company reduced production, and Nezhi Petroleum Company began to produce oil. The US government can no longer launch an anti-monopoly investigation against Nezhi Petroleum Company.

Nezhi Petroleum Company has only just begun to produce oil, and has not yet sold it to the mainland of the United States. How to check?
But in the long run, the oil quality of Nezhi Oilfield is similar to that of Elizabeth Oilfield, so Nezhi Petroleum Company is the next Adan Company.

This would be a tragedy for American oil companies, unless the U.S. government decides to close the U.S. market and ban any drop of foreign oil from entering the U.S. mainland, which may preserve the U.S. domestic market.

But in this way, the "free trade" that the US government has been advocating has become a complete lie, and I am afraid that no one will dare to do business with Americans in the future.

The sensitivity of the capital market far exceeds the response speed of government departments.

The U.S. government has not had time to introduce further measures, and the stock market has fallen more and more, and the radiation has become wider and wider.

On February [-]th, before Goldman Sachs opened, the door was crowded with depositors withdrawing money. This situation immediately attracted the attention of the manager on duty.

"Running? No, no, no, it's not that serious. Inform the security department and add more security guards to ensure normal order—" Adrian Jackson sneered, let's just run if there is a run, and Goldman Sachs is backed by the Southern African consortium, so it is not afraid of a run .

I don't know if other banks can sustain it.
