Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1952 The First Victim of the Two Powers' Contest for Hegemony
When Adrian Jenkins and Paul Carrie were separately looking for sponsors, Anton took the initiative to find Rock in the Palace of Justice in Pretoria, hoping to hold the first Southern African Friendly Nations Games in Los Angeles.

With the Olympic Games, Pretoria has reaped a lot. Not only has it gained huge economic benefits, but it has also confirmed its status as the cultural center of southern Africa, which makes Anton very unhappy.

Whether in terms of economic strength or culture, education and health, Nyasaland is far ahead of the Transvaal.

Just because Pretoria is the capital of southern Africa, and the Olympic Games will be held in Pretoria, Anton has nothing to say.

Originally, after Pretoria held the Olympic Games, Los Angeles was planning to host the 10th Olympic Games. Unfortunately, considering the promotion of the Olympic Games, the Olympic Organizing Committee decided to hand over the right to host the [-]th Olympic Games to Los Angeles. This made Anton very upset. annoyed.

Comparing the conditions of Los Angeles with Los Angeles, Los Angeles actually does not have any advantages.

However, Los Angeles offered too much money, and the Olympic Organizing Committee could not refuse, so it was reasonable for Los Angeles to lose.

"With the development and dissemination of radio and television technology, the influence of large-scale multi-sport events such as the Olympic Games will become greater and greater. How can we allow large-scale multi-sport events of this level to be in the hands of a non-governmental organization, so we should establish A brand that belongs to us, and we will firmly control the influence in our own hands.” Anton has big ambitions, and other countries want to use the Olympic Games to expand their influence at most, so Anton simply starts from scratch.

Nyasaland does have this foundation.

Star City has now become the dream city that everyone in the world yearns for. The Southern African Football League originated in Los Angeles. With the development of the economy, an urban agglomeration with Los Angeles as the center has formed along the Niassa Lake. Star City And Xuanji City has become a satellite city of Los Angeles. Los Angeles now has more than 100 cultural facilities, nearly 20 professional sports venues, and three large-scale comprehensive stadiums with stands of more than 5 people, each of which is qualified to hold the Olympic Games. The opening ceremony of the large-scale comprehensive sports meeting at the level.

"We have successively built the Commonwealth Games and the Olympic Games, and accumulated rich experience, so we are fully capable of building a brand of our own—now that TV technology is developing rapidly, Nyasaland News Group has It is possible to broadcast the live broadcast in real time, and if the friendly country games are held in Los Angeles, we can use this most advanced technology to spread TV signals all over the world.” Anton’s ideals are equally lofty, but it seems that Anton ignores the signal transmission this problem.

There are no satellites yet.

Even if you have satellites, you have to wait for a signal tower to spread the TV signal.

In the future, the kind of TV cooker that can be installed in every household will have to wait for decades.

"This proposal is good. We can study it carefully." Rock readily agreed. The Commonwealth Games and the Olympic Games actually have limitations. The suggestion of the Friendly Nations Games is great, and there is a lot of room for maneuvering.

The name of the Commonwealth Games determines that only Commonwealth countries can participate.

The Olympic Games are inherently deficient. It is a joke that such a large-scale multi-sport event is in the hands of the Olympic Organizing Committee, a non-governmental organization. In the end, it will inevitably be reduced to an arena for competition between major powers.

Friendly country——

Just looking at the name, you can tell that only countries with a friendly relationship with Southern Africa can be invited by the Federal Government of Southern Africa.

In this case, Japan will probably never have a chance to get an invitation from Southern Africa.

stick--

In 1910, Japan successfully annexed the universe country through the "Japan-Korea Merger Treaty".

Whether to invite the British Empire depends on the mood of the Southern African Federal Government.

Is the United States invited to—

It also depends on the mood of the Federal Government of Southern Africa.

Thinking of this, Rock suddenly felt better.

"Hehe, since we hold the sports meeting, then of course we have the final say on the events. Some events that are not suitable should not appear on the sports field. We only want events that the public likes, such as football, horse racing, and racing. It must be both competitive and entertaining—" Anton was well prepared, and in the history of the Olympic Games, there have indeed been some strange events.

Like a duel—

Can you believe that there are real duels in the Olympics?

In the 1908 London Olympics, contestants used pistols to shoot at each other, although the bullets were made of wax, which was just as dangerous.

In the 1900 Olympic Games, players were also required to use shotguns to shoot live pigeons. Later, this event was also canceled because the competition process was too bloody.

"Discipline must be strict, and referees must be fair. If anyone dares to use prohibited drugs, he must be banned for life!" Rock hated the black box operation of sports competitions.

Yes, we are talking about a country where almost all athletes have asthma and heart disease, referees are blind and still work, and do everything in order to get results.

American Armstrong, the seven-time Tour de France champion, said that taking drugs is a scandal if it is found out, but it is high technology if it is not found out.

Sister of science and technology, it is indeed very American to say something that is obviously shameless.

And the "if I can why not" country.

And a country where you can feel at ease as long as you bow, apologize and forgive yourself no matter what mistakes you make.

"The time is tentatively scheduled to be held every four years, and it will be held in the Olympic year. No matter what, we must save some face for the United Kingdom." Anton has a big opinion on the Olympic Committee. Los Angeles is not as good as Los Angeles because of the name of Los Angeles. Is it longer?

When it comes to the name of the city, I often have to say that the Chinese are too kind to the world, but too harsh on themselves.

For example, New York, according to normal circumstances, should be directly translated into Xinxiang.

Another example is Fifth Avenue, which is Wudaokou.

There is also Newfoundland, which means newly discovered land, so it is a new land——

Southern Africa is relatively simple, and Pretoria is named after the leader of the Boers, Pretorius.

Cape Town means Cape City.

The name Rhodesia is derived from Cecil Rhodes.

"That's it. It's decided. We can start this year. Anyway, the Olympic teams from all over the world are already ready, and they are directly invited to participate in our friendly country games—" Rock thought for a while, but still felt that the term friendly country games was a bit too straightforward. Bai, so I simply changed it: "--the name is changed to the Friendship Games."

Friendly Games!
It seems that there is such a sports meeting in another time and space.

Since the Moscow Olympics in 1980 and the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984 were boycotted by many countries including the United States and the former Soviet Union, in 1985, out of the desire to deepen mutual understanding and promote world peace, Ted Warner, vice president of the American Time Warner Company, Turner proposed to hold an international large-scale multi-sports game without political pressure participated by outstanding athletes from the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries. This is the Friendship Games that has only been held for five sessions.

"The Olympic Games have the Olympic spirit. Shall we also tell a story and endow the Friendship Games with something other than sports—" Anton is also scheming, and his routines have been popular since ancient times.

"Okay, you can figure it out—" Rock would not waste his brain cells on this kind of thing, and Anton probably had already prepared for it.

Anton was indeed prepared, but the Olympic Committee in Lausanne, Switzerland was not.

The Olympic Committee's decision to hand over the right to host the Tenth Olympic Games to Los Angeles is to promote the influence of the Olympic Games and further strengthen the brand of the Olympic Games with the help of Pretoria's successful hosting of the Olympic Games.

The news that Southern Africa called for a boycott of the Olympic Games had just spread, and the Olympic Committee had not had time to respond. Then came the news that Southern Africa would hold the Friendship Games, and Coubertin and Latour were shocked.

If Southern Africa really does this, then the golden sign of the Olympic Games will be over.

"Is Los Angeles going to hold the Friendship Games? What's going on?" Maran Andres really wasn't pretending to be confused. He was busy building the new Olympic Committee headquarters these days.

"You are from southern Africa, and you don't even know what's going on?" Latour suspected that Malan was playing dumb.

"Find out, okay? I'm the vice president of the Olympic Committee and I work for the Olympic Committee. What are you doubting?" Malan said with a firm attitude. Lausanne is so far away from the mainland of southern Africa, so it's normal not to know.

"Okay, the question now is how we should deal with it." Coubertin frowned. The Friendship Games are not the same as the Commonwealth Games. They directly conflict with the Olympic Games, and with the influence of southern Africa——

If Los Angeles successfully hosts the Friendship Games, the consequences will be disastrous.

"The right to host the Tenth Olympic Games should not have been handed over to Los Angeles in the first place—" Latour only realized it now.

Malan sneered. When deciding on the host city of the [-]th Olympic Games, he didn't know how much Los Angeles had benefited Latour, but Latour firmly supported Los Angeles.

Ma Lan must support Los Angeles.

However, Malan had just joined the Olympic Committee at that time, and Latour was the chairman of the Olympic Committee, so Los Angeles became the final winner.

"It's meaningless to talk about it now, Andrés, you should contact Los Angeles immediately and ask what's going on?" Coubertin's dissatisfaction with Latour was accumulating, and he was actually dissatisfied with Los Angeles, but Coubertin didn't agree. Dare to show it.

Los Angeles is the capital of Nyasaland, the territory of Rock, and also the economic center and industrial center of southern Africa.

Since Los Angeles held the Friendship Games, it also represented Rock's will to a certain extent.

This should be done on weekdays. The federal government of Southern Africa and the government of Nyasaland State may not make trouble with the Olympic Committee over such trivial matters.

But in the context of the hostile relationship between southern Africa and the United States, the situation is a bit complicated.

Coubertin did not want to see the Olympic Games become a victim of the hegemony between the two powers.
