Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1754 I Will Quietly Watch You Die

At the end of 1927, after a new round of depreciation of the rand, the per capita income in southern Africa finally exceeded 300 rand.

15000 rand is roughly equivalent to the entire income of an adult for 50 years.

Even if the real estate around Lake Niassa is worth investing in, the price is too high for ordinary people.

But don’t worry, townhouses worth 15000 rand are not intended for ordinary people. If you want to save money, you can buy an apartment. There is no such thing as a construction sharing in southern Africa. More than 70 square meters with two bedrooms and one living room, it is very comfortable for a family to live in.

It’s really impossible to go to a slightly remote place. The single-family villa can also be accompanied by a farm. The price is only two to three thousand rand. With a little wealth, I can still afford it. Anyway, every household has a car and the transportation is very convenient. , It is very easy to enter the city, and you can enjoy a relaxed and comfortable pastoral life, which is the ultimate dream of many people.

On Christmas Eve, the festive atmosphere in Pretoria became more and more intense. The glass windows of the store were covered with the head of Santa Claus and the words "Merry Christmas", interspersed with colorful snowflakes. Pretoria It hardly snows in Tolia. Some children who have never seen snow are very curious. At this time, parents will reflect and consider whether to take their children to travel to the Arctic Circle.

It’s really not possible to go to Cape Town to try your luck, maybe it will snow——

The cultural and entertainment life in Pretoria has also become more and more abundant. On the first day of the New Year’s holiday, the Football League has arranged a match between the Nyasaland Eagles and Rand United. This is a fixed highlight of Christmas, a festival for all fans, It will also be broadcast live on radio.

The third day is the year-end final of the Jockey Association. As the favorite event of southern Africans, every horse race will attract a large number of spectators to watch. The year-end final is also known as an annual carnival.

On the fifth day, there will be a car rally, and the team that wins the championship will have a float parade around the city.

During the New Year’s holiday, the New Year’s films carefully prepared by major film companies in southern Africa will be released together. At this time, war films have to wait first. Mainly.

Surprisingly, Star City Films released the cartoon "The Adventures of Simba" featuring Simba, the mascot of the Commonwealth Games, this year. This cartoon will definitely become a new favorite for children.

On Christmas Eve, a dinner was held at the Palace of Justice in Pretoria. Government officials at all levels of the federal government and ambassadors of various countries in southern Africa gathered to celebrate the festive season. Prospective to the future.

"—We have experienced a lot in the past year, such as stock market crash, bankruptcy, unemployment, famine, economic crisis, etc., but none of these can break us down. We will eventually overcome all difficulties and usher in a new and bright future. New World——" Winston's New Year's greetings were smooth and smooth, and he will leave southern Africa in a few days to return to his native land to report on his duties, and this hurdle is probably not easy.

After the outbreak of the economic crisis, London sent telegrams to Winston several times, hoping that Winston could urge Southern Africa to fulfill its obligations as a member of the Commonwealth of Nations.

Winston didn't respond positively to this "reasonable" request, and he didn't even contact Rock, as if nothing had happened.

This is not surprising at all. When the economic crisis broke out, Winston really hoped that Southern Africa could give the native land the help it deserved.

However, after the collective resignation of the Conservative Party cabinet, Winston never mentioned this matter again. The reasons behind this are thought-provoking.

After Winston's speech, Rock had to say a few words.

Different from Winston's speech that was nutritious, Rock's speech was more or less dry.

"—The economic crisis cannot end in a short period of time. Countries will be more and more affected by the economic crisis. We must be wary of some countries. War has never been far away, and it is getting closer and closer to us. What we can do is to do a good job. Prepare and deal with all possible crises, Southern Africa will do the same as it did in the world wars, and maintain world peace as always—" Compared with Winston's speech, Rock's speech was more aggressive, and by the way expressed Take a look at Southern African ambitions.

While Rock was speaking, Gustav Stresemann, the German ambassador to southern Africa, had a solemn expression.

Gustav Stresemann served as chancellor of the Weimar government for one term, but Gustav Stresemann's career as chancellor was not successful, and he resigned after only one hundred days.

Gustav Stresemann then served as foreign minister in the Weimar government, during which time Gustav Stresemann used the Treaties of Rapallo, Locarno and Berlin The three treaties successfully dismantled the anti-German alliance and laid the foundation for the revival of Germany.

After Mustache came to power, Gustav Stresemann began to serve as the German ambassador to Southern Africa, which is enough to prove that Mustache attaches great importance to southern Africa.

Gustav Stresemann visited Rock as soon as he came to southern Africa, hoping that the federal government of southern Africa would give Germany more investment.

Rock did not immediately agree to Gustav Stresemann's request, only promising to seriously consider it.

Unlike Roque's "serious consideration", the United Kingdom and the United States have increased their investment in Germany after Mustache came to power.

Considering that the United Kingdom and the United States are still plagued by economic crises and cannot protect themselves, this timely help is really commendable.

After Rock's speech, enter the free time.

Gustav Stresemann immediately joined Roque to congratulate Southern Africa for maintaining economic growth during the economic crisis.

"Southern Africa's performance in the economic crisis is absolutely a miracle, and it is worth learning from all countries. In fact, Germany has begun to learn from the way of southern Africa to fight the economic crisis and formulate economic policies suitable for Germany. I hope that Germany can overcome the economic crisis as soon as possible and get out of the predicament." Shiter Lei Zeman praised southern Africa greatly. Compared with Britain and the United States, Germany is indeed superior in terms of execution.

"Yes, I believe that under the leadership of President Hindenburg, Germany will be able to get out of the economic crisis as soon as possible." Rock casually said that the faster Germany recovers, the greater the damage it will cause to the future world.

From this perspective, Rock hopes that the Weimar government will never get out of the economic crisis.

"Like southern Africa, we are also increasing investment in infrastructure and large-scale projects. The only thing we lack now is funds. If southern Africa can help, then in the future, investment in southern Africa will definitely be rich. in return.” Stresemann brought up the old story again, nothing can be done without money, and the Weimar government is trying to re-establish Mark’s credit, but there is no credit guarantee.

Credit guarantees are gold. As mentioned earlier, if the current government does not have enough reserves, it cannot print currency, especially for Germany. Now even the Germans have lost confidence in the Mark.

Currency rectification was considered by the German government to be the first step in revival, and the Weimar government was preparing to introduce a new mark for this purpose. The new mark was based on the British pound, and about five marks were exchanged for one pound.

Nice idea, but Germany didn't have enough gold to put it into practice.

"Sorry Mr. Stresemann, you may not know that the economy in southern Africa is not as colorful as it seems on the surface. In order to stimulate domestic demand, the federal government issued [-] million rand of national debt this year. It will increase further, and in a short period of time, southern Africa will not be able to expand foreign investment." Rock directly refused.

Southern Africa does not have the need to maintain the balance of the European continent, nor does it urgently need to break the colonial order, so Southern Africa can completely stay out of the matter and quietly watch Britain and the United States die.

Of course, the necessary assistance is still indispensable. Although Krupp failed in the competition with Mustache, it still has investment value. Even if gold is not given, other assistance is still available, such as food.

It should be noted that these aids are not free, Germany has to pay, and it has to be paid in rand.

It doesn't matter if you don't have money now, you can owe it and pay it back when you have money.

It doesn't matter if you want to renege on your debts, as long as you are ready to meet the iron fist of the Southern African Defense Forces.

"My lord, expanding foreign investment is beneficial to both of us." Stresemann tried his best to fight for it. Southern Africa has the ability to buy bottom in the United States, but cannot invest in Germany. To put it bluntly, it is still not good for Germany. trust.

It's right not to trust, Roque doesn't want to give money to the Germans, and then let the Germans make bullets and shells and then shoot them back to southern Africa.

It is said that after the World War, Southern Africa has obtained enough things it wants from Germany. German technicians and technical materials have been almost completely removed by Southern Africa. There is nothing in Germany that is worth investing in Southern Africa.

This may sound hurtful, but it is true. The technological strength of southern Africa is second to none in the world. Otherwise, Stresemann would not be so humble.

Just as Stresemann was being soft and hard, Louis walked quickly to Rock and whispered a report in Rock's ear.

"A fire broke out in the German Reichstag, and it is suspected that someone deliberately set it on fire—"

Rock was expressionless, and the congressional arson case happened as expected.

I just don't know if the next direction of the world will gradually get out of control like another time and space.

It doesn't matter even if it gets out of control. Rock doesn't care what other people do now. As long as Southern Africa does its own thing and stabilizes the current development momentum, then Southern Africa will have the confidence to deal with any difficulties.
