Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1951 Boycott of the Los Angeles Olympics
When Jasmine left the embassy in a taxi, the ambulance from the hospital hadn't arrived yet, and Jasmine didn't know what would happen to the young man in the end.

Probably not so good, unless the southern African embassy in the United States offers to help.

However, judging by the attitude of the embassy, ​​most of them will not compromise.

If it were Jasmine's parents, Jasmine's parents would not compromise.

"Why waste time on such idiots, people in southern Africa are not so stupid—" Jasmine's father, Benjamin, owns a trading company that has a lot of business in southern Africa: "—During this time, go to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Don't go out before reporting, don't cause trouble for me, be careful what you do, it will bring disaster to our family!"

Jasmine's father's attitude was unprecedentedly serious, and Jasmine's punishment was unprecedentedly grounded.

Jasmine couldn't help resisting: "I didn't do anything wrong—"

"Jasmine——" Jasmine's mother gently held Jasmine's hand, her expression equally serious: "Listen to your father, you still don't have the ability to distinguish right from wrong, and you shouldn't get involved in politics you don't understand. Your father is here to protect you."

Jasmine bowed her head in silence, she did not accept this explanation.

"The contradiction between Southern Africa and the United States is far more complicated than you can imagine. The US Marine Corps and the Southern African National Defense Force have already met in Brazil, but the two governments have not declared war. You should know why—" Benjamin said. His face was haggard, and the conflict between southern Africa and the United States broke out, and Benjamin's business was also affected.

Jasmine wanted to argue, but her mother stopped her with serious eyes.

"Remember your friend Charlie?" Jasmine's father suddenly mentioned Jasmine's childhood playmate.

Jasmine nodded, Charlie was her best friend.

"Charlie's father went bankrupt, and the family moved to California to start over, but it wasn't that easy." Jasmine's father sighed.

"Why?" Jasmine exclaimed. Charlie's father, Nicholas, was also a businessman. Jasmine didn't know what kind of business Charlie's father was in, but Jasmine knew that Charlie's family was quite rich.

Richer than Jasmine's family.

"Nicholas offended the southern African government and was strongly suppressed by southern African companies, and then he lost everything." Jasmine's father had a serious expression, and businessmen were most afraid of these force majeure.

"How did this happen? The Federal Government of Southern Africa is going too far!" Jasmine blurted out.

"No, no, this has nothing to do with the Southern African Federal Government. I can guarantee that the Southern African Federal Government doesn't even know who Nicholas is. When a lion patrols the territory, it doesn't care if it tramples an ant to death." Jasmine My father has lingering fears, this is called destroying you and has nothing to do with you.

Although Jasmine was unwilling, she could only accept her father's arrangement.

The next day, Jasmine's friend Rosalin came to visit Jasmine, and the two chatted about Charlie, and Rosalin knew more about the situation.

Maybe Jasmine's father also knew about it. Maybe Jasmine's father didn't want Jasmine to feel the cruelty of life too early, so he didn't tell Jasmine the truth.

"Charlie's family is in the scrap steel business, which is to buy those obsolete ships, machines, locomotives, etc., repair them and sell them to East Asia—" Rosalind brought a mascot of the Los Angeles Olympics to Jasmine, and Jasmine was very happy. like.

With Pretoria's jewels in front, the Los Angeles Olympics will naturally not let go of the mascot, a money-making project.

The mascot of the Los Angeles Olympic Games is a brown vulture named Sam. It wears a red dress, has a pair of cute yellow feet, a hat with the background color of the American flag, and holds a white torch in its hand. It is particularly eye-catching with red flames.

Jasmine noticed sensitively that the Sam Eagle brought by Rosalind to Jasmine was produced in southern Africa.

The reason is simple. Although the United States also has toy companies, the best toys must be produced in southern Africa.

As far as the price is concerned, the sales price of the Sam Eagle produced by local American toy companies will not exceed 2 US dollars.

But the cheapest price of a Sam Eagle produced by a southern African toy company is $5.

$5 is roughly the daily income of a middle-class American family.

This data has actually been realized in 1925, which means that for seven years, the income of middle-class American families has stagnated.

"It's an open secret that Southern Africa hates Japan, so Uncle Nicholas' business has violated the interests of Southern Africa. Three months ago, a freighter accidentally disappeared, and the ship was loaded with Uncle Nicholas' cargo. Uncle Nicholas was responsible Send the goods to Japan, so Uncle Nicholas is responsible for all the losses." Rosalinn looked sad, and she and Charlie were also good friends.

"Then what does this have to do with southern Africa?" Jasmine still didn't understand.

"On the surface it doesn't matter, but Jasmine, this world is far darker than you imagined. Uncle Howard and Aunt Howard have protected you very well." Rosalin was not polite, and the friendship between her and Jasmine was still very pure. .

"I'm not a child anymore—" Jasmine was dissatisfied. Only children need protection.

"But your behavior is like that of a child, like you went to parade in front of the southern African embassy, ​​that's simply too stupid!" Rosalind is not a good girl like Jasmine, and her understanding of society is far deeper than Jasmine's.

Adrian Jenkins, director of the Organizing Committee of the Los Angeles Olympic Games, also knows deeply.

Before the conflict broke out in southern Africa and the United States, everything was going well according to the established rhythm.

The economic strength of the United States is still good. Although the Los Angeles Olympic Games did not receive as much attention as the Pretoria Olympic Games, it also received a lot of sponsorship. By the end of May, it had exceeded 1500 million US dollars.

Although the US$1500 million is a little less than the 3500 million rand for the Pretoria Olympics, it is still much more than the 400 million francs for the Paris Olympics and the 150 million Dutch guilders for the Amsterdam Olympics. Adrian Jenkins was confident of hosting a successful Olympics before the conflict with the United States erupted.

But things took a turn for the worse with the outbreak of conflict between southern Africa and the United States.

First, some sponsors would rather give up the deposit than decisively cancel the sponsorship.

At this time, Adrian Jenkins hadn't raised his vigilance yet. Anyway, some American companies are willing to sponsor the Olympics, so just find another one.

After the U.S. Marine Corps detained the staff of the Southern African embassy in Brazil, Adrian Jenkins was shocked by news that Southern Africa intends to withdraw from the Olympic Games!

Southern Africa was the double champion of the gold medal table and the medal table of the last Olympic Games.

If southern Africa withdraws from the Los Angeles Olympics, it may be a huge piece of good news for the U.S. Olympic team, because the U.S. Olympic team has lost its biggest competitor, which is more conducive to the U.S. Olympic team to achieve better results.

But Adrian Jenkins shudders at the thought of the influence of the federal government of Southern Africa.

"Southern Africa has a huge influence. If Southern Africa does not participate in the Los Angeles Olympics, it may lead to the collective non-participation of the Southern African Union countries-no, not maybe, but definitely! And it is not non-participation. Now there is news that the Federal Government of Southern Africa We are calling on relevant countries to boycott the Los Angeles Olympics on the grounds that the United States is being sanctioned by the League of Nations, and other countries should respond to the call of the League of Nations!" Paul Carrie, chairman of the US Olympic Committee, took the initiative to find Adrian Jenkins early in the morning, If the rumors are true, it would be a disaster for the Los Angeles Olympics.

Southern Africa's influence far exceeds that of the United States, not just the Southern African Union countries. Although Southern Africa has withdrawn from the Commonwealth, it still maintains good relations with many Commonwealth countries.

Leaving aside the United Kingdom, if southern Africa initiates a boycott of the Los Angeles Olympics, then Canada, Australia, and New Zealand will definitely respond immediately.

A total of 46 countries participated in the last Pretoria Olympic Games, among which more than 15 countries had good relations with southern Africa and were deeply influenced by southern Africa.

If the number of countries participating in the Los Angeles Olympics drops sharply from 46 to only 30, then the Los Angeles Olympics will be completely reduced to a laughing stock.

"No, it's impossible, the Olympic Committee will not allow this to happen." Adrian Jenkins' face was ashen.

"How capable do you think the Olympic Committee is? The Olympic Committee is a non-governmental organization without any strength. Believe it or not, if Southern Africa really makes such an initiative, the Olympic Committee will not only dare not oppose it, but will find suitable ones for Southern Africa. We still have time, and we need to act immediately.” Paul Carrie was worried, the League of Nations did not have much deterrent power in front of southern Africa, and the Olympic Committee still kept a low profile.

"What are we going to do?" Adrian Jenkins had already realized the seriousness of the situation.

"We contacted the sponsors separately and told them the seriousness of the matter. If Southern Africa initiates a boycott of the Los Angeles Olympics, the interests of the sponsors will suffer irreparable losses—" Paul Carrie is good at grasping conflicts, and what businessmen care most about is Benefit.

"But will the Federal Government of Southern Africa be influenced by sponsors?" Adrian Jenkins doubts that the sponsors of the Los Angeles Olympics are all American companies, which are indeed a bit far from Southern Africa.

"Sponsors really cannot influence the federal government of Southern Africa, but they can lobby Washington. This is not just an Olympic Games, but also the honor of the United States." Paul Carrie was heartbroken, why did he choose such a guy as the director of the organizing committee .

"Great, let's split up and contact the sponsors. If they don't want to see the sponsorship fees go to waste, they'd better lobby Washington." Adrian Jenkins is not stupid, he just cares about chaos.
