Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1807 Finally Come to This Step

Southern Africa hopes to cancel the tariffs within the Commonwealth. The purpose is to promote exchanges and integration within the Commonwealth, strengthen the connection between the dominions and colonies within the Commonwealth, and build a harmonious and beautiful Commonwealth family——

vomit--

The above are all face-to-face keyboards. There is only one truth, and that is to enhance the competitiveness of southern African goods and dump more goods to the Commonwealth. London also knows this, so the United Kingdom is the most vehemently opposed to the abolition of tariffs.

So when Winston said "Why not", Rock's first reaction was that he heard it wrong.

"Why not—" Winston repeated with a smile, satisfied with Rock's reaction: "—the tariffs can be completely canceled, but there is a prerequisite. We need to set up a joint committee. By this joint committee, so that the best of our Commonwealth's strengths can be exploited—"

Rock only listened to the first sentence, and there was no need to listen to the rest.

Remove tariffs?

Hehe, I really thought too much. According to Winston, this is basically unified purchasing and marketing. Don't ask about the "Joint Committee", it must be manipulated by London. I don't know how whimsical it is to come up with such a thing. idea.

"What do you think?" Winston looked at Rock expectantly.

"What do you think?" Rock didn't answer directly. It shouldn't be Winston's idea. Winston is not so stupid.

"I think—not bad!" Winston looked sincere.

Don't doubt, a qualified politician must have this ability to point a deer into a horse.

"Not bad! Whose idea is this? Neville? Has his IQ dropped to this level?" Rock swears directly. This is no longer a forced reduction of intelligence, it is anti-intelligence at all.

"Don't say that, we're just discussing it." Winston finally showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, and he probably didn't expect too much.

"Winston, if Neville really wants to set up a joint committee, then focus on serving the Dominion and the colonies instead of finding ways to obtain impossible benefits from the Dominions and the colonies—" Rock agreed to the British The federation carries out integration, but it is definitely not the way of unified purchase and marketing.

"Continue to talk—" Winston had a serious expression, and he almost took a small notebook and started to record.

When the economic crisis broke out, Winston was the governor of Southern Africa, and he was well aware of Roque's role in dealing with the economic crisis in Southern Africa.

I still remember that during that time, Winston stayed in Rock's office every day, and he knew very well how Rock led Southern Africa to deal with the economic crisis.

If he could, Winston would have taken a notebook and written down every word Rock said, and then went back and studied it carefully with a magnifying glass.

Rock just laughed, how could such a thing be explained clearly in three or two sentences.

What's more, even if he could make it clear, Rock would not tell Winston that a united Commonwealth of Nations would not be good for Southern Africa, and that it was fine now.

But such a smile, in Winston's eyes, became unfathomable.

I know what to do, but I just won't tell you, what, bite me—

Winston felt his teeth itch, which was so f*cking annoying.

But had to accept the reality.

Winston came to southern Africa this time to sign the alliance under the city, so he really didn't have the right to be too tough in front of Rock.

In the evening, there is a dinner as usual, and it is still held in the Governor's Mansion opposite the Palace of Justice, because the banquet hall of the Governor's Palace is a little larger than the banquet hall of the Palace of Justice.

Looking at the criss-crossing of cups and chips in front of him, Winston felt that time and space were out of order.

Two months ago, Winston was the owner of the Governor's Mansion, but now he has become a guest. The people are still these people, the place is still this place, and his mood is completely different.

Regardless of the fact that Britain is mired in the economic crisis, London often organizes banquets, and Winston attended more than a dozen during his return to London.

Different from southern Africa, the banquets in London always give people a feeling of doomsday carnival. The superficial extravagance and luxury cannot conceal the emptiness in people's hearts. The big shots are all planning their own interests.

Banquets in southern Africa are relaxed and happy, without gorgeous court dances, long speeches, and courtesans who are ostentatious. What the guests discuss is not about art and poetry, but more about work and technology.

By the way, scold the Japanese, Americans, or others together.

Winston had no doubt that if he, the Minister of the Exchequer of the United Kingdom, were not present, scolding the British would have the most common language.

This kind of scene was familiar to Winston. When he was in Pretoria, Winston often attended such banquets. Compared with the British, the southern Africans were pragmatic and terrible.

Just next to Winston, a poet who is famous for his poetry in England, was talking about the importance of public opinion propaganda to patriotism with the people around him.

This made Winston feel strangely heavy.

"Returning to Pretoria must be a lot of emotion." Rock noticed Winston's abnormality.

"It's really emotional—" Winston shook his head and smiled wryly, as if trying to drive some not-so-good things out of his mind: "—I came back to London to realize how rare everything in southern Africa is. No wonder people in southern Africa call it Europe. for the Old Continent."

The "old" here certainly does not only refer to the time category.

"That's right, I can give you the answer to the question you asked me this afternoon—" Rock chuckled.

"What's the answer—" Winston cheered up.

"But my answer is useless to you. You and Neville, or Baldwin and McDonald, lack the courage to break everything, just like Roosevelt in the United States." Rock still had that annoying expression on his face. Unfathomable.

Winston's face was ugly, and it was as if Roque hadn't said what he said.

To put it bluntly, the vested interest class is still unwilling to give up the rights in their hands.

Then the new interest class is constantly demanding more rights.

The two demands collided, and the United Kingdom was unlucky.

Such a thing has never happened in British history. In 1640, Charles I convened a new parliament, which directly led to the outbreak of the British bourgeois revolution, and finally formed the current "parliamentary constitutional monarchy" in Britain.

The British bourgeoisie at that time is now the British Liberal Party.

After all, the new bourgeoisie has never played against the British aristocracy. After two or three hundred years of division and wooing, a new vested interest class was formed. The new Labor Party replaced the Liberal Party, and a new cycle began.

The crux of the problem is that the last time the bourgeois revolution broke out in Britain, the British Empire had just defeated the Spanish Armada. Fallen Empire".

The current British Empire is facing internal and external troubles, internally facing the comprehensive challenges of southern Africa, and externally facing strong competition from the United States. Can Britain be great again?

Winston himself had no confidence.

"All of us are now on a sinking ship. Only when we all work together can we reach the other shore of victory." Winston beat himself up, the British Empire has not yet reached an unsustainable the point.

This is true. After all, World War II has not yet broken out. The pound is still an international currency, and Britain can still use the pound to plunder the world.

But the future is hard to say. With the economic recovery of the United States and the expansion of power in southern Africa, the pound is also facing strong challenges from the US dollar and the rand, and its position is in jeopardy.

"Lock, since the United Kingdom has given up the Commonwealth market, Southern Africa should also pay something." Winston's tone was not normal, and Rock was slightly surprised.

"Southern Africa has paid a lot—" Rock hadn't noticed at this time that Winston's eyes were a little determined.

"Apart from the gold from the Rand Gold Mine, what else is there? Moreover, the gold obtained by London from the Rand Gold Mine is less than one-third of the total output of the Rand Gold Mine. This does not match the price paid by the United Kingdom. ' Winston was expressionless.

Rock suddenly felt that it was a mistake to agree to Winston as the Governor of Southern Africa.

Even if Winston has a good relationship with Rock, he is still the greatest Briton in British history.

Such a person cannot be overestimated.

"What do you want to say?" Rock thought quickly, wondering where Winston got the confidence.

"Locke, if Southern Africa cannot truly undertake the obligations of overseas dominions, then Southern Africa must be prepared to lose the Commonwealth market—" Winston said surprisingly.

Rock suddenly realized that London did have confidence.

Perhaps British goods, compared with southern African goods, have indeed lost their competitiveness.

However, the United Kingdom can close the Commonwealth market to southern Africa, which is London's last card.

To put it bluntly, it is to expel Southern Africa from the Commonwealth and give Roque the real independent status he dreams of.

But that also means that Southern Africa will lose the Commonwealth market.

This is the rhythm that is forcing southern Africa to become the second America.

"Have you thought about it clearly?" Rock was indifferent. He had already made preparations for this. In another time and space, South Africa also broke away from the Commonwealth of Nations. This time and space is just a little earlier.

"Thank you for not using you—" Winston smiled wryly. It was a difficult decision to make, but for the sake of the United Kingdom, Winston and Neville could only fight hard.

"Oh, I thought Neville was the prime minister of the United Kingdom, and the relationship between southern Africa and the United Kingdom would ease—" Rock also smiled wryly. It really depends on the mountains and mountains, everyone runs, and he has to rely on himself at all times.

"Locke, it is because we all know southern Africa that we have to do this." Winston was more sincere than ever.

Rock can understand that if southern African goods are not driven out of the Commonwealth market, no one will want British goods.

But by driving southern African goods out of the Commonwealth market, British goods can monopolize the Commonwealth market?
Think beautiful!
