Chapter 1776
Rock felt that if he hadn't interfered, the project would probably have fallen by the wayside like Wardenclyffe Tower.

As early as when Nikola Tesla came to Southern Africa, Rock had asked Nikola Tesla for his opinion on whether to rebuild the Wardenclyffe Tower in Southern Africa and continue the unfinished research.

To be honest, Rock also wants to see what the remote power supply of Wardenclyffe Tower looks like. If this invention can be successful, then no matter how much it promotes technology, it cannot be overstated.

To Rock's surprise, Nikola Tesla completely abandoned Wardenclyffe Tower, claiming that part of the research results no longer belonged to him, but to investors.

Looking at it this way, Nikola Tesla was indeed a man of integrity.

Not to mention the grievances and grievances between Nikola Tesla and Morgan. After coming to southern Africa, although Nikola Tesla spent a lot of money, he also achieved outstanding results. The latest achievement is a The display screen, this function was originally designed for the pilot of the bomber to monitor the surrounding environment, and then it was accidentally discovered by the agents of Brad's office.

Now the square in front of the Palace of Justice has installed this kind of surveillance equipment, which can be described more vividly as closed-circuit television.

I forgot to mention that the cameras still have 360-degree cameras with no dead ends. The agents in Brad’s office only installed more than 20 cameras on the square to completely monitor the square.

When Rock learned of this situation, he immediately forgot about the six bombers that fell, it's so sweet!
In fact, the six bombers that fell were not completely scrapped. Many parts can still be used, and the actual loss was not that great.

Of course, even if there is, Rock doesn't care, as long as Nikola Tesla keeps coming up with new inventions, just like the monitoring system this time, the more similar inventions, the better.

Back in Pretoria, work gradually returned to normal.

It was already October 1928, and the economic crisis showed no signs of ending. The whole world was struggling in the economic crisis. The governments of all countries showed their abilities. Free trade was abandoned by more and more countries, and the government intervened more and more in the economy. , Trade protection, financial rectification, arms race, ****, pouring milk into the river is no longer news, someone in Washington State deliberately set fire to the forest in order to get a job as a firefighter.

The situation in southern Africa is still stable, large-scale water conservancy projects are advancing steadily, and public facilities projects led by the government are blooming everywhere. The Olympic Games that have just passed have brought direct income of more than [-] million rand to southern Africa, because the Olympic Games chose new immigrants from southern Africa. It will continue to bring potential consumption of more than [-] million rand to southern Africa.

The signing of the "London Naval Treaty" brought more orders to the southern African military industry.

The order for 26 new light cruisers was divided up between Edward Shipyard and Walvis Bay Shipyard. The Admiralty's requirements are not high, and they can be put into service within two years. After all, it takes time for the Admiralty to train sailors.

The orders for the two aircraft carriers were all taken by the Edward Shipyard. The Whale Bay Shipyard is not lacking in strength, but has no free berths. The berths that can build giant ships over [-] tons are all taken up by the orders of the Nyasaland Ocean Trading Company. .

The Japanese government can give subsidies to companies that build large ships, and the federal government of southern Africa can also follow suit. Although the six comprehensive supply ships can be transformed into aircraft carriers in an emergency, they are far from enough for southern Africa.

During World War II in another time and space, the United States built or remodeled a total of 155 aircraft carriers.

Southern Africa may not need so many, at least there must be 100 ships.

The British Empire has lost its ambition to dominate the world, and southern Africa must be brave enough to shoulder the heavy responsibility.

After returning to Pretoria, Winston came to Rock less and less often, and Philip more and more. The two had similar backgrounds, similar experiences, and similar status, and they had a lot in common.

However, according to Owen, Winston wanted to use the power of the Matilda family to return to the center of British power.

If Owen didn't say it, Roque would not have noticed that the Matilda family is only second to the Nyasaland Consortium and the Rhodesian Consortium in southern Africa in terms of financial resources.

The wealth here does not include the property under Henry's name.

I still remember the Crocodile Bay Hydropower Station, the first official enterprise established by Rock, in which the Matilda family has shares, and the proportion is second only to Rock and the Johannesburg City Government.

Because of Henry, the Matilda family has been involved in every company established by Rock after that.

As a result, only now did Roque discover that the Matilda family had accumulated a considerable amount of wealth just by virtue of the dividends they had received over the years.

Don't think that the Matilda family only has shares in companies under Roque's name, Henry and Stoudemire are the same. The years when Philip was the speaker and prime minister of the National Assembly happened to be the period of rapid economic growth in southern Africa. No business can get around Philip.

"So, Winston and Philip have formed some kind of alliance of interests?" Rock was not surprised. Winston must be a person who is unwilling to be lonely. When he was still in London, there were rumors that Winston would resign as the governor. position, to participate in the election of the next British Prime Minister.

But it is not easy. Winston has made a big circle from the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party, and now he is an independent party. The electoral system in the UK is different from that in the United States. Winston needs to win more support, but there is no such thing in the UK. How many people would like to see Winston make a comeback.

Perhaps the economic crisis is a good opportunity, and the UK now really needs someone to take the initiative to take the initiative to lead the UK through the fog of the economic crisis.

"We are not sure yet. His Excellency the Governor was very active during this period. He often visited the two former Prime Ministers and the former Governor-General in Hot Spring Valley, and held a dinner at the Governor-General's Palace the next day. The guest list is very complicated. Officials at all levels of the federal government, Ambassadors to Southern Africa, members of the nobility, even wealthy businessmen and so on—" The best thing about Sidney Milnabizak is that he can communicate directly with Rock.

It is more troublesome for Rock to communicate with Zach. Zach can't speak, he can only write.

"It's normal. Winston also has his own communication needs." Roque doesn't interfere, so it doesn't matter if Roque is George V. If Roque is George V, Roque will now recall Winston to London and appoint him as Prime Minister .

Among other things, Winston still has the ability to turn the tide, which is precisely what makes Winston so dreadful.

George V may not have thought about it, but he faced great resistance, and George V would not do this unless he was at the end of his rope.

"There is news from the Republic of the Congo that some people believe that the Republic of the Congo is receiving unfair treatment. The Ministry of Finance of the Republic of the Congo intends to issue currency to replace the rand currently in circulation—" Sidney Milner's news is conclusive, Roark said during this time I've also heard some similar news, it's normal.

Most of the transactions between the Republic of Congo and southern Africa are barter, and various industrial resources are exchanged for food and industrial products in southern Africa.

As funny as this may sound, the situation in the Republic of Congo is actually similar to that in southern Africa, and there is no shortage of food.

But Congolese people have a special preference for food produced in southern Africa, especially the rich. They would rather eat the expensive Rhodesia canned fruit than the cheap fresh fruit.

In fact, it is normal. For the vast majority of Congolese people, the moon in southern Africa is also relatively round, and they cannot stand up after kneeling for a long time.

Unlike the Kingdom of Congo, the leadership of the Republic of Congo is mostly white people born in the Republic of Congo. This has caused a very contradictory phenomenon. Some white Congolese are loyal fans of southern Africa. They wish that the Republic of Congo would be like the Kingdom of Mozambique and Madagascar Incorporating into Southern Africa is the best choice for the Republic of Congo.

The other part is the other extreme. They are more inclined to gradually get rid of the control of southern Africa like most American countries, just like how southern Africa got rid of the British Empire, first a colony, then a dominion, until complete independence.

"Now is an extraordinary time, we only need a unified voice." Rock is cold, don't pretend to be born with human rights at this time, for the Republic of Congo, heaven is too far away, and southern Africa is too close.

"Okay, I understand—" Sidney Milner was full of energy, and Brad's office was the best at this kind of thing.

While Rock was listening to Sidney Milner's report, in Boma, 2600 kilometers away from Pretoria, the cabinet of the Republic of Congo was holding a meeting to discuss how to get out of the economic crisis.

When southern Africa started large-scale infrastructure construction, Mumu and Benson Moore jointly sent a request to Rock, hoping that the federal government of southern Africa would also take care of the Kingdom of Congo and the Republic of Congo when it started large-scale infrastructure construction.

Rock agreed to the request of Mu Mu and Benson Moore. The main problem of the Republic of Congo and the Kingdom of Congo is the Congo River. As long as the problem of the Congo River is solved, more than half of the problems of these two countries will be solved.

But before that, it is necessary to further understand the situation of the Congo River, and only after a detailed understanding of the situation can a targeted plan be made.

As a result, this understanding lasted for more than a year, the Olympic Games were over, and the aid promised by Roque had not yet arrived, which made some people in the Kingdom of Congo very dissatisfied.

"We have contributed almost everything we have to Southern Africa, ore, timber, diamonds, gold - we even ceded Katanga to Southern Africa, but what have we got?" Johnson, the Secretary of the Interior, had a serious illness last year. His life was dying, and he finally escaped death after lying on a hospital bed for three months.

"After the outbreak of the economic crisis, the rand was devalued in southern Africa. The wealth we worked so hard to create was harvested instantly, and countless mines and farms lost their money. To change this situation, we must first start with the currency. We must build our own financial ——” Johnson talked on and on, without noticing the complicated expressions of other people.
