Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2299

The conflict between Winston and Kitchener is deep. Winston, who was born in the aristocracy, is naturally opposed to the Kitchener class, who was born in a military family.

Winston is a graduate of Sandhurst Royal Military Academy and Kitchener is a graduate of Woolwich Military Academy.

After graduating, Winston served in the [-]th Biao Cavalry Regiment. During his vacation in Cuba, he was picked up by the British intelligence agency and was responsible for collecting intelligence related to the Spanish army.

During Winston's service in India, an armed uprising broke out against the British army in the northern Indian tribes. Winston immediately asked for leave and accepted the employment of the "Calcutta Herald" and "Daily Telegraph" as an army reporter.

In the eyes of traditional soldiers like Kitchener, this behavior is tantamount to betrayal of the army.

After graduating from Kitchener, he served as an officer in the Royal Engineers. During the Franco-Prussian War, he joined the French army as a volunteer. He served in overseas colonies at the age of 24 and never left the army.

When the First World War broke out, Winston was Secretary of the Navy and Kitchener was Secretary of State for War. At that time, the two quarreled in Parliament every day over the budget.

It was not until Winston became Prime Minister of the United Kingdom that the relationship between the two men eased slightly.

So Winston's approach to Kitchener was doomed to fail, and Kitchener had now become a thoroughly southern African who no longer cared about the British Empire.

After leaving the Governor's Palace, Winston had a brief exchange with Lord Halifax, the British ambassador to Southern Africa, in the car.

"Southern Africa still has the strength to spare, and has not gone all out. The war potential of this country is simply terrifying, and it is easy to support three battlefields at the same time. If Southern Africa conducts a real general mobilization, it may not need allies to defeat the axis alone. Heart country." Lord Halifax spoke highly of Southern Africa, his words made Winston frustrated, the stronger Southern Africa is, the more difficulties Winston will face.

The three battlefields mentioned by Lord Halifax refer to North Africa, East Asia, and Russia respectively.

In North Africa, the South-British Allied Forces jointly fought against the German-Italian Allied Forces led by Rommel. The battles were fought intermittently. Even the British were fishing for fish, and they did not work at all.

The bottom line of Britain is Egypt. As long as Rommel cannot hit Egypt and the Suez Canal is not affected, the British army will not take the initiative to attack. Every counterattack is enough to hit the border. The reason is insufficient logistics.

This reason is mainly for the Russians, and it is simply perfunctory.

After a year of recovery, the British Mediterranean Fleet is now stronger than before, and the strength of the Cyprus Squadron in Southern Africa is also significantly stronger than that of the Italian Navy.

Now that the control of the Mediterranean Sea has returned to the hands of the Allies, and the battles in North Africa are all carried out in the coastal areas, why is there a shortage of logistics?
Although the bearded man was dissatisfied with the British excuse, he did not dare to turn his face directly. After all, the Russo-German war had entered a critical stage, the Volgograd battle was underway, and Russia needed material support from southern Africa more than ever before.

Don't even think about military support, and the bearded man dare not let the southern African army enter Russia to fight.

If you look at the East Asian battlefield, you will know that compared with North Africa and Russia, Southern Africa in East Asia can be said to be devastated. The joint fleet built by the Japanese for decades has been bombarded by the Southern African Air Force, and now it has lost its ocean operations. ability.

The Southern African Air Force and the US Air Force are teaming up to bomb the Japanese mainland.

On land, the allied forces with the southern African army as the core have already invaded Siam, and the Kingdom of Siam is in contact with southern Africa, trying to gain the understanding of southern Africa.

Last year, when the Japanese army was advancing furiously in the Malay Peninsula, the Kingdom of Siam and Japan signed the "Japan-Siam Offensive and Defensive Alliance Treaty" and declared war on the allied forces.

This is exactly the rhythm of joining the Axis powers in 45. The Japanese army was only arrogant for a few months before being pushed back by the southern African army. Only then did Siam find out that it had boarded the Japanese pirate ship.

When the Japanese army was still dying in the Malay Peninsula, Siam began to contact southern Africa, trying to unilaterally seek peace.

Angie ignored the crazy overtures of the Siamese. Now that she knows that it is too late to regret it, a small country with few people must have the consciousness of a small country with few people. When signing the "Japan-Siamese Offensive and Defense Alliance Treaty" with the Japanese, all kinds of as a result of.

The country of Siam is really lucky. Its position is between India and French Indochina. The reason why it can become independent is not because of how strong the country is, nor because of how brave the Siamese are, it is purely because of the British and A compromise was made, so Siam did not become a colony.

Now Siam is in danger, and its status as an independent country will soon be lost. In the future, it will be easier for southern Africans to eat fragrant rice, and the price will be cheaper.

It is actually very easy now. In the second year after the outbreak of the World War, Britain began to implement the distribution system to control the distribution of materials.

Southern Africa has not implemented a distribution system until now, and there is no need to implement a distribution system. Southern Africa may be the country with the most abundant supplies in the world. A survey conducted by the Federal Government of Southern Africa last year showed that the vast majority of southern African families, The stored living materials can be consumed for at least one and a half years without any increase or reduction.

This is thanks to the developed agriculture in southern Africa. There are dozens of cows, hundreds of sheep, and countless poultry on any farm. British national color French fries are made of potatoes. In southern Africa, potatoes More for animal feed.

"After the end of the last world war, the living standard of southern African families has surpassed that of the United Kingdom. This is not the same as the situation in the United States. The so-called economic leadership of the Americans is based on the plunder of Africans and Mexicans. Americans Africans and Mexicans are never included in the calculation of GDP per capita. Southern Africa is truly developed and full of potential. You can feel it at any farm.” Lord Halifax also said something It's hard to say clearly, the current British Empire is not qualified to be on an equal footing with southern Africa.

In fact Winston could feel it now.

Compared with the last time I came to Pretoria, there are obviously more cars on the road, and the road is wider. The commercial buildings beside the road are tall and magnificent, and the number of skyscrapers is too many to count. Squares and squares can be seen everywhere. In the park, people were dressed brightly and well, with happy smiles on their faces. After driving on the road for nearly half an hour, Winston didn't see any beggars or stray dogs.

This is incredible, even more incredible than the economic development of southern Africa. Even in big cities like New York and London, homeless people and stray dogs are commonplace. This is a stubborn disease that is difficult to eradicate in any city.

In Southern Africa, this problem simply does not exist.

"All levels of government in the Southern African Federation have re-employment training institutions to provide re-employment training for the unemployed and homeless. In Southern Africa, if people encounter beggars, the first reaction is to ask the police to deal with them. The federal government refuses anyone to consume The sympathy of the South Africans." Lord Halifax would have liked to suggest that the British Empire should learn a lesson, but it was impossible.

The British government definitely wants to eliminate the homeless, but the reality is that there are more and more homeless people. Some people just don’t want to work and regard homelessness as an adventure. Some people are forced to be homeless. Their problems are more caused by the British government. .

To take care of the disadvantaged, one must have sufficient strength in addition to determination.

The United Kingdom now spends most of its resources on war, and is simply unable to take care of vulnerable groups in the country.

"The reason why southern African commodities are famous for their high quality and low price has a lot to do with their low cost. Southern African companies can obtain industrial raw materials from Southern African Union countries or other countries at extremely low prices. Factories in southern Africa Here, southern Africans are responsible for high-paying management and technical work, and foreign workers are mainly engaged in manual labor, which ensures that southern African enterprises have strong competitiveness." Lord Halifax has become a spiritual southern African, This frightened Winston.

Before Lord Halifax was the British Ambassador to Southern Africa, Lord Halifax was the British Foreign Secretary.

Even the Foreign Secretary has become a spiritual southern African, what about the rest?
"Is there no guild in the factories in southern Africa?" Winston was very angry. The business owners in southern Africa are more British than the British business owners.

British companies are famous for squeezing workers, so the Labor Party has risen like a rocket.

There seems to be a Labor Party in southern Africa, too, and it has quite a bit of influence.

Labor parties in southern Africa are different from their counterparts in other countries.

The British Labor Party mainly fights for the interests of workers and British capitalists on behalf of workers. The main method is to use strikes as a means to demand that capitalists provide workers with higher salaries.

The Labor Party in southern Africa mainly provides services such as technical training, legal aid, and living security for workers. The low wages of workers have nothing to do with capitalists in essence. If they are not satisfied with their wages, they can change factories. Or try to improve yourself and find a better job, which is the right way to increase your income.

The Labor Party in the UK is actually cheating. The wages given by the business owners are low, so the Labor Party organizes strikes and expands its influence in various ways to create troubles. The whole society will be affected.

There are no winners in this way, the workers go on strike and the company does not make a profit, and the business owners have no ability even if they want to raise the wages of the workers.

Workers have not gained any real benefits. Labor parties in capitalist countries count as one, and they do not serve workers at all. In essence, they are just a tool for a few people to fight for power and profit. The leaders of the British Labor Party treat the Labor Party as a business and serve workers. What the hell?

"There are guilds in the factory, but the guilds in southern Africa are affiliated with the federal government, especially the various associations. Their job is to assist the federal government at all levels and manage the members of the association." Lord Halifax smiled helplessly. After the victory of the Russian workers, labor movements broke out in almost all countries in Britain, the United States, and France, but southern Africa was calm.

This reflects the benefits of appropriate profit sharing for enterprises.

When Rock first founded the Rock Gold Mine, the pay for miners was a bit higher than that of other gold mines.

The various benefits provided by Rock are better, and the improvement of living conditions is not worth mentioning. What really makes the miners give up on Rock is the qualification to buy land and the school for miners' children that only workers' families can attend.

Under the influence of Roque, Stoudemire also improved the treatment of employees of South African companies, which is the reason for the fundamental changes in southern African companies.

When Rock opened the gold mine, its influence on southern Africa was still very small, and it could only radiate to the surrounding areas of Johannesburg.

The South African company was already the largest company in southern Africa at that time, and its influence spread throughout southern Africa. After the death of Cecil Rhodes Sr., Stoudemire became the king of Rhodesia. If other southern African companies did not improve the treatment of workers, then Just wait for it to be merged by other companies.

When the Second Boer War broke out, there were more than 100 gold mines in the Rand area, which belonged to more than 20 companies.

Now there are still so many gold mines, but there are only 7 companies left, and the means of mining gold have long since progressed from manpower to construction machinery.

This is a good thing for business owners. The use of construction machinery has improved work efficiency, the number of workers is decreasing, income is gradually increasing, and satisfaction is getting higher and higher. If anyone goes to the Rand mining area to encourage workers to strike at this time, it is estimated that it will not be necessary. If the capitalists do something, the workers themselves will beat him up and run away.

"We have to find a way to change the current situation." Winston was upset. If the current situation continued, the gap between Britain and southern Africa would become wider and wider.

"Australia, we can start with Australia, starting with Australia's iron ore." Lord Halifax knows the weakness of southern Africa. If there is no cheap industrial raw materials, southern African enterprises will gradually lose their competitiveness.

"Australia—" Winston wondered.

Knowing the weaknesses is one thing, but being able to attack them is another.

The relationship between southern Africa and Australia is very good. Australia is called "the country sitting on the mine cart", but all the mine carts are controlled by southern African companies.

To be specific, almost all of Australia's mines are controlled by Fawalt Steel Group, Nyasaran, and Rhodesia.

The owners of these three enterprises are Henry, Rock and Stoudemire.

Rock is not only making money but not investing in Australia. In order to protect the interests of southern African companies in Australia, the three southern African companies have a large number of interest spokespersons in Australia. Many Australian members of Congress have deep interest disputes with southern African companies. However, it is not easy for the UK to break up the relationship between Southern Africa and Australia.

The current relationship between the UK and Australia is also bad.

In the last World War, Australia, with a total population of only 550 million, sent an ANZAC force with a total strength of 50 to Britain.

In this World War, Australia's support for the United Kingdom has declined significantly. Now Australia has only mobilized 40 people, and more Australian troops are not under the command of the United Kingdom, but under the command of the southern African military.

If it is said that the mines are handed over to southern African companies for mining, Winston can still bear it.

Then Winston absolutely could not bear this.
