Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1763

The Commonwealth Games has successfully made countries around the world realize the value of large-scale multi-sport games. Although the Pretoria Olympic Games has not yet started, due to the influx of tourists, the Transvaal State Government and the Pretoria City Government have already obtained The benefits are many, and the governments of these countries are all aware of it, so there are quite a few cities applying to host the Olympic Games.

What makes Coubertin and Latour quite embarrassed is that among all the cities that applied to host the Olympic Games, not many cities are really capable of hosting the Olympic Games. Huge, they want to use the name of the Olympic Games to take advantage of the opportunity to make money, but they don't see if they have the ability.

Apart from other things, cities outside southern Africa host the Olympic Games, and there are very few real sponsors, so what profit can they make?
So now Coubertin and Latour are very cautious when choosing a city, for fear that the signboards that have been erected with great difficulty will be destroyed in one go.

In contrast, Salisbury is definitely qualified to host the Olympic Games. Whether in terms of economic strength or executive power, Salisbury's strength is no less than that of Pretoria. Relatively speaking, Coubertin and Latour have only one concern. If the Olympic Games are held continuously in southern Africa, it will definitely affect the popularity of the Olympic Games.

Coubertin and Latour have always hoped that more countries will join the Olympic family, so that the Olympic Games will have real influence.

Compared with the last Commonwealth Games, the sponsorship enthusiasm of sponsors has not decreased significantly. On the contrary, due to the participation of more countries, the sponsorship fees of several industries have increased. For example, in terms of automobiles, Ford of the United States directly paid 300 million Rand price, successfully obtained the sole sponsor status.

It’s amazing. When the economic crisis broke out, the sponsorship cost of the Olympic Games increased instead of decreasing compared with the Commonwealth Games. During the Commonwealth Games, the sponsorship of the car brand was only sold for 100 million, which doubled in just two years. It reached 300 million. Rock didn't expect Ford to spend so much money this time, and he didn't know how many Model T cars he would have to sell to earn it back.

Oh, and Ford's main product isn't the Model T anymore.

Different from another time-space Ford myth, this time-space Ford is being strongly challenged by other car companies. Last year, Ford even lost its leading position in the US auto market.

At this time, Ford was forced to change its unchanging product line and was forced to produce cars with more advanced performance, richer colors and more expensive prices.

But in this way, Ford's low price advantage no longer exists, and it is even more powerless in the competition with other car brands.

In order to revive, Ford put his treasure on the Olympic Games and spent a lot of money to get the sole sponsorship of the Pretoria Olympic car brand.

Rock didn't care about this. During the Commonwealth Games, in order to limit vicious competition, Rock deliberately set the highest standards and forced sponsors to provide better services for the Commonwealth Games.

This time the Olympic Games, the organizing committee did not limit the highest standards, the sponsors showed their own abilities, the Olympic Games have not yet started, the organizing committee received more than 3500 million rand sponsorship fees, not only all the initial investment was fully recovered, but also greatly Made a fortune.

On July 7, the Olympic Games officially opened, and Winston personally lit the torch symbolizing the Olympic spirit.

Only then did Rock realize that the torch relay had not been arranged. No wonder Rock always felt like something was missing.

In another time and space, the Olympic torch relay officially started from this Olympic Games.

However, it was not until 1934 that the torch relay officially became one of the fixed traditions of the Olympic Games.

It doesn't matter. It is estimated that other countries outside of southern Africa have little interest in the torch relay. After all, they are still in the period of economic crisis and their stomachs are not full. How can they have the strength to cheer for the Olympics.

Southern Africans are not hungry, and their enthusiasm for the Olympic Games is still very high.

Rock participated in the opening ceremony, and that night was still a dinner for the leaders of various countries who came to attend the opening ceremony.

When Roque arrived at the dinner party, he undoubtedly became the focus of the entire dinner. Leaders from various countries who came to the opening meeting wanted to exchange a few words with Roque, especially the US president who had just arrived in Pretoria in a hurry the day before. Hoover.

While Ramsay MacDonald was under suspicion, Hoover was having a hard time.

Like the previous economic crises, this time the economic crisis still started in the United States.

Like Ramsay MacDonald, Hoover was criticized for his slow response to the economic crisis and his failure to come up with effective policies.

This time Hoover came to participate in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and he also had the motivation to use diplomacy to ease domestic doubts in the United States. After participating in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, Hoover will also rush to London to participate in the London Navy Conference proposed by Ramsey MacDonald.

The London Naval Conference was also a helpless move by Ramsay MacDonald in order to restore his political reputation.

The "Navy Holiday Era" expired in 1936, as stipulated in the Washington Naval Treaty.

In the current economic crisis, all countries intend to increase military orders in order to stimulate their own economic recovery, and the arms race is about to start again.

Ramsay Macdonald has always been a staunch supporter of disarmament. The domestic conflicts in the UK are sharp. The coalition government has to face many obstacles in order to introduce economic policies. It is basically impossible to add military orders. Don't even think about it.

The problem is that if the United States and Japan start to rearm their armaments, then the United Kingdom cannot sit idly by, otherwise it will be Ramsay McDonald's fault again.

"I really envy you in southern Africa. There is no conflict between the federal government and Congress. This will never be possible in the United States." Hoover was in a complicated mood. He recalled that when Hoover and Roque met for the first time, Hoover was a trafficker and Roque was a policeman. Unexpectedly, the time has passed and the situation has changed, and the two people's identities now are very different from those at the beginning.

The identities are similar, but the situation is completely different.

In the United States, Hoover is the spokesman for the interests of the capitalists retreated to the front.

In Southern Africa, Rock itself is the capital.

"Isn't the economic recovery of the United States a good thing for American companies?" Rock also wondered that southern Africa is gradually getting rid of the impact of the economic crisis through a series of policies. Why can't the United States do it?
He can't even copy homework, and Rock doesn't know what to say.

In this time and space, the United States and southern Africa have no ideological differences.

"You're right, but U.S. companies don't want too much interference from the U.S. government. Isolationism, free trade, natural human rights, and private property are sacred and inviolable—fuckin' sacrosanct!" Hoover's expression gradually became grim. , his life is not easy.

Anyone who can become president must not be too capable. How much better can Roosevelt be than Hoover?
At least not as badly as the other plane showed.

The key is awareness.

Except for Roque, no one in the world realizes that this economic crisis is different from previous economic crises.

At best, the time will be longer, the impact will be greater, and the damage will be stronger. Until now, many people still believe that even if the government does not intervene, relying on the self-repairing ability of the market economy, the economic crisis will disappear in two years, and peace will still prevail.

So capital has to resort to government intervention until the self-healing ability of the market economy has completely failed, and only then will the completion of self-salvation begin.

The question is whether Hoover can persist until the capital admits defeat.

At present, it seems unlikely.

"What are you going to do?" Rock was also in a complicated mood. There was clearly an abyss in front of him, but Rock could only watch the person jump down with his eyes closed.

"What can I do? I am the scapegoat pushed to the front of the stage. When the economy is booming, the biggest profit is American capital. When the economic crisis comes, it is me, the president of the United States, who is incompetent. Since I choose to participate in this game, then You have to accept all of this." Hoover could think about it, since he couldn't change the reality, he just lay down and let it go.

"I think you can still save it." Luo Kepi was very happy, otherwise his heart was too heavy.

"It's hopeless, the whole of the United States is hopeless. The United States is not southern Africa. The power of the president is not even as good as that of the governor. Unless there is a war, there will be no change." Hoover is still very smart and can graduate from Stanford University. Full proof of Hoover's IQ.

No matter how high your IQ is, you have to bow your head in front of the strength of American capital. Nikola Tesla's IQ is also very high, and he was not forced to flee to southern Africa.

The president of the United States during the war and the president of the United States in peacetime are completely different concepts.

It was Hoover's words that blurted out, and Rock suddenly did not have any expectations for the upcoming London Naval Conference.

Yes, Southern Africa is also going to attend the London Naval Conference.

Moreover, it is participating in the London Naval Conference as an independent country. This is a joint request of the United States, Japan, France, and Italy. If southern Africa hides behind the United Kingdom during the Washington Naval Conference, then the London Naval Conference will be meaningless.

At the last Washington Naval Conference, the United States, Japan, France, and Italy ignored the strength of southern Africa, allowing southern Africa to take advantage of the loophole.

This time, we must not make the same mistake again. The first fall in the same place is an accident, and the second fall is stupid.

"Is the United States going to expand its arms and prepare for war?" Rock sighed, the world has once again reached the brink of war.

So the question is, if the First World War was an accident, what is the Second World War?
A continuation of World War I, of course.

"Whether the United States wants to expand its arms and prepare for war depends entirely on Japan's attitude." Hoover was targeted. During this time, Roque paid attention to Britain and Germany, but ignored Japan.

It shouldn't be.
