Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1801 The money still needs to be paid back
When Rock watched this period of history in his previous life, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't understand why Mustache dared to start a world war.

Now in this era, many doubts are solved one by one.

The current mustache has the support of Wall Street tycoons in the United States.

The British Prime Minister is Neville who insists on "appeasement".

The Duke of Windsor himself may put the interests of the United Kingdom first, but the people next to him are inextricably linked to the Germans, and even King Edward VIII has become a mustache supporter.

This is the truth of the so-called "not loving the country but loving the beautiful".

What really makes Britain unacceptable is not the third-married Mrs. Simpson, but Edward VIII's attitude towards Germany, which has seriously affected the interests of the United Kingdom, so the British Parliament forced Edward VIII to abdicate.

Seeing this, you can imagine how much support Mustache received at that time.

Among the five countries that signed the "Washington Naval Treaty", Japan and Italy are allies of Germany. The United Kingdom and the United States are supporting Germany's revival both openly and secretly. It seems that Germany's real enemy is only France, which is strong outside but capable inside.

Finally, there is the European Gendarmerie.

Germany is now restricted by the Treaty of Versailles, and many military-related research cannot be carried out in Germany.

So Germany searched all over the world, and only the European gendarmes, who were also excluded from the mainstream European society, could effectively escape the surveillance of Britain and France.

So Germany transferred all military-related research to the Gendarmerie, and cooperated with the Gendarmerie in an almost all-round way. Germany provided technology, and the Gendarmerie provided supplies. Still delivering wheat to Hans' house.

In this situation, it is difficult not to swell.

Not to mention how frustrated Winston was, after Neville came to power, Britain finally gradually returned to the right path.

After all, Neville was born in the orthodox Conservative Party. Unlike Ramsay MacDonald when he was on stage, the British cabinet after Neville took office finally received the full support of the British Parliament.

Could it be that the foundation of a country’s development is political harmony and harmony between people? When Ramsay McDonald was on stage, the Conservative Party-controlled Congress did not cooperate with the cabinet at all. Almost all proposals from the Prime Minister’s Office were rejected by Congress. Chi MacDonald would not be a good prime minister and steal the foreign secretary's job.

After Neville came to power, the relationship between the British cabinet and Parliament reached an unprecedented level of harmony. When Ramsay MacDonald was on stage, he was desperate for bonds. After Neville came to power, he issued 20 billion in one go.

This is 20 billion pounds, not 20 billion marks.

"Neville's appointment as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom should bring about some changes in the relationship between us and London. Compared with Mr. McDonald, Prime Minister Neville must be more emotionally inclined to our southern Africa. The news I just received here , Governor Winston has been appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer by Prime Minister Neville, which will be more beneficial to us. London has not appointed a new Governor. I am not sure if this means that our relationship with London has entered a new stage. Young Smudge is cautiously optimistic, although he is not sure how relations between southern Africa and the United Kingdom will evolve.

"Winston sent a telegram, hoping to negotiate a separate trade policy with us, and at the same time hoped that we could subtract a part, or directly cancel the debt owed by Britain during the World War - I found that we made a mistake, not It should be agreed that London will pay the arrears with 8% of the government's revenue every year. As you know, last year the British government's revenue was only 800 million pounds, so the repayment we got was only [-] million—" Ada was also speechless Well, the dignified United Kingdom has fallen to such an extent that I really don't know how to evaluate it.

800 million is actually not a lot, and it is more than enough to build a "Nelson" class battleship, but this is the 800 million before the pound was overissued, and it is definitely not enough now.

Moreover, for a country like the United Kingdom, it is a joke that the total government revenue is only [-] million pounds a year. It is not known whether it is enough to pay the civil servants of the British Empire.

"Exemption? What are you thinking—" Xiao Si was the first to disagree, and the money owed by his ability must not be less.

"It's not impossible to be exempted. If the UK agrees not to send a governor in the future, we can consider it." Henry is rich and powerful, regardless of how small this year is. In the past, he was given 3500 million pounds a year at the highest level. If you don't want it, don't.

This money has interest, which was previously agreed to be 5%, and Britain will repay it with [-]% of its fiscal revenue every year until the principal and interest are repaid.

800 million, it should not even be enough for interest.

Of course, if the British government promises not to send a governor to southern Africa in the future, then it can really be discussed.

Southern Africa As a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, the Governor is the United Kingdom's last tie to Southern Africa.

If the United Kingdom no longer sends governors to southern Africa, it means that southern Africa has achieved true independence.

During the World War, Britain owed a total of 15 billion to southern Africa.

Now it has been repaid for ten years, and it probably owes about 14 billion.

To be honest, when Rock knew about this situation, his heart was really moved. If he spent 14 billion to gain true independence, it would be worth it in a sense.

But this idea only existed for two seconds before it was completely overthrown by Rock.

If it is truly independent, it must leave the Commonwealth of Nations, otherwise, what do Canada and Australia think?
However, if he left the Commonwealth, Rock would be reluctant to part with the Commonwealth market, especially in the current economic crisis, the Commonwealth market is still quite valuable.

"This is 14 billion pounds!" Ade really can't understand this group of guys who don't feel sorry for their fathers.

When Adelaide was prime minister, the annual fiscal revenue of southern Africa did not add up to 14 billion.

It’s only been a few days, and if you don’t want more than one billion yuan, you don’t want it. Even if it’s 800 million a year, wouldn’t it be nice to take it back to build two aircraft carriers!
"The money still needs to be repaid—" Rock also wanted the money. Neville came to power, and the Southern African Federal Government had to congratulate him no matter what. Even if Neville was given a one-ton gold mountain, the debt owed had to be repaid.

A one-ton gold mountain of 100 million grams, according to the current gold price, is only 100 million rand——

Amazing, another round of bonds was issued in southern Africa, but the price of rand to buy gold did not rise, and remained at one rand per gram.

The market's confidence in the rand is really sufficient.

In other words, the rand is still one of the strongest currencies in people's hearts under the general environment of currency depreciation in various countries.

"I have some bad news. After the disarmament conference, Germany began to form Boy Scouts and Youth Army, and imitated our Rifle Association to set up paramilitary organizations. I have to remind everyone that Germany's current population has exceeded 6800 million, and the population of France is only 3900 million—” the situation provided by Martin made the cabinet members feel heavy.

"Didn't you pay back 6500 million last year?" Rock didn't even know that the population of Germany was rising so fast.

"Last year 6700——" Martin was speechless, and the data on Rock's side hadn't been updated for a long time.

This is also true, Germany has a large population base after all, even if many people immigrate every year, the population is still growing slowly.

It's just that compared with southern Africa, the growth rate is a bit slow.

Don't compare with southern Africa, compare with France, Germany's data is very good.

Before the outbreak of the World War, France had a population of 4146 million. Now that the World War has passed for ten years, the population of France is only 3900 million. No wonder that when Andy scolded MacDonald for fainting during the Disarmament Conference, he pounced on Engalé so much. despair.

6800 million, compared to 3900 million, nearly double the population gap, and the number of people suitable for military service must have more than doubled every year.

In this regard, Ramsay MacDonald suggested that France reduce its military strength to only 20 and Germany expand its military strength to the same 20 when it was still in the Disarmament Conference.

Poengale is very self-restraining if he can refrain from swearing.

"If we waive the arrears of Britain, should we also waive the arrears of France?" Stoudemire does not favor one over another, and France is also an ally in southern Africa.

Otherwise, France will not tolerate the annexation of Madagascar in southern Africa.

To put it bluntly, it's all about benefits.

France now also has to take out one percent of its annual fiscal revenue to repay its debts.

What Ada is most worried about now is, if France's fiscal revenue is negative in a certain year, should Southern Africa also bear [-]%?

"Germany will break through the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles sooner or later. What we have to worry about now is not Germany, but Japan." Rock distinguishes the priorities, Europeans are responsible for European issues, and Rock is concerned about Asia.

The disarmament conference ended in an unusual fashion, seemingly without any resolution, and Japan did not need to honor its commitment to disarm four divisions.

Rock received the news that after the end of the disarmament conference, Japan still laid off four divisions. This behavior was also praised by European and American newspapers.

According to the information Rock received, the Japanese government is secretly buying a large amount of steel from the United States, and the Kure Naval Factory has also received a secret mission and is in a closed state. , The Japanese Combined Fleet has made major moves recently.

Although Rock hasn't got the exact information yet, he has a vague feeling that Japan should have launched the "Yamato" plan.

It’s actually a bit miserable to say it. The Japanese government wants to build Yamato, but it still needs to save steel. It’s just like DIY. It feels sad and funny for no reason.

Switching to southern Africa, let alone building a Yamato, even if building a brand new combined fleet, there is no need to be so stingy, and Fawalt Steel Group can provide as much ship steel as it needs.

"Otherwise, create some trouble for the Japanese?" Martin was ready to move, and there was no need to mobilize southern Africa to fight Japan.

Zach, who has always been an invisible man behind Rock, is even more excited. Brad's office is best at this kind of thing.
