Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Roque has never been able to understand why European countries are so opposed to Russia in his previous life.

Now Rock understands.

It is not opposition, but fear, the fear from the heart, the fear of European countries for Russia, which is probably equivalent to the fear of southern African countries for southern Africa, the kind of sleepless night.

One of Southern Africa and Russia is in the southern hemisphere, and the other is in the northern hemisphere. Rock has now felt the threat of Russia, and Winston's mood can be imagined.

In fact, Roque was very curious before, why when European countries carve up Africa, Russia did not express anything, as if it had no interest in Africa.

Now the reason is also obvious. In the final analysis, the land area of ​​Russia is too large. The whole of Africa is only 3000 million square kilometers, and the area of ​​Russia itself has reached more than 2000 million. Russia will be the most powerful country in the world.

Not even one of them.

After sending Winston away, Rock immediately held a cabinet meeting.

In the past ten years or so, the cabinet in southern Africa has been extremely stable. Rock, Stoudemire, and Henry are an unshakable iron triangle, supplemented by Ida, Martin, Barker, Anton, Owen, Sidney Milner and other cabinet ministers. Although There is no fresh blood to supplement, but it can also ensure the stability of the fundamentals of southern Africa.

Now Stoudemire is in charge of the Ministry of Commerce, Henry is in charge of the Ministry of Industry, and Ada and Martin are still in charge of the Ministry of Finance and Defense. As long as these key positions can ensure stability, the political situation in southern Africa will be as stable as a table mountain.

"Brad's office has a detailed report on Russia. Russia's situation is quite special. If you don't consider ideology, it is similar to our southern Africa-Russian security has the ability to mobilize national forces to go all out in a certain area. Their mobilization ability It is extremely terrifying. From this perspective, Russia has some similarities with Germany and Japan.” Sidney Milner spoke highly of Russia. If there is a country in the world that can pose a threat to southern Africa, then it is only possible It is Russia, and the United States is almost meaningless.

The United States is a country kidnapped by capital. The federal government can do very limited things, but Russia can mobilize national power to rapidly improve a certain field in a short period of time. The improvement of military industrial capabilities is the best proof.

"There is still a gap between Russia's industrial capacity and ours. Generally speaking, Russia's industrial level is about the same as ours before the war broke out-our advantage is a broader market. Russia has a vast territory, and the domestic market is still limited. , unable to expand its influence beyond Russia.” Henry’s evaluation of Russia is more objective, and in the field of industry, the gap between Russia and southern Africa is indeed obvious.

"Russia's heavy industry is not bad, the key is in the civilian field. The Russians may be able to build a heavy tank comparable to the 'Tiger', but Russia can't build a car comparable to the Lord." I am worried that southern African products can be sold all over the world, while Russian products can only be sold in Russia.

To put it more bluntly, Russian products can only be used, while southern African products are easy to use. There is a huge gap between the two.

The cost of key Russian commodities is higher than that of southern African commodities, so Russian commodities are really not competitive. Only in certain special fields, Russia has a little less obvious advantage.

Such as agricultural products.

It must also be specific to grains for Russia to have a certain degree of competitiveness, but for agricultural products that require a certain degree of deep processing, Russia has no advantage at all.

Therefore, Russia's largest export category now is agricultural products, and even mineral resources are unable to compete with southern African companies.

Compared with Baku's oil, European countries are more willing to purchase Ardan's oil.

In terms of iron ore, the Pilbara Mining Company and Iron Four Corners can form an overwhelming advantage over Russian companies, which is one of the main reasons why Russian commodities are struggling in the world market.

"Russia's economy has problems. The planned economy can meet people's basic needs, but if people's needs continue to increase, Russia's shortcomings will be fully exposed." From "to "easy to use", rich experience.

"Russia has now expanded the mobilization age to 12 to 60 years old, and its war potential is about to run out. After the war, if Russia maintains such a large army, then Russia will be consumed alive without us doing anything. From a military standpoint, Martin proved that Russia wasn't all that scary either.

The Germans are even more extreme. Mustache’s latest mobilization order extends the mobilization age to 8 to 70 years old. This is simply insane. Germany will pay the price for Mustache’s ambitions and the future of the next few decades.

Let alone 70 years old, 60-year-olds have reached the stage of retirement in southern Africa, and it is hard to imagine them picking up guns and going to the battlefield.

This is also the source of Martin's confidence. Russia's war potential is terrifying, and southern Africa's war potential is even more terrifying.

According to the survey of the Ministry of the Interior, the war mobilization in southern Africa is only 50.00% at most, and there is still a lot of potential to be tapped.

"Gentlemen, first of all, we must make sure that our biggest enemy is not Russia, but the United States—only the United States can challenge us in almost all fields. Our advantage lies in the penetration of capital. All fields in the United States rank among the top ten All the companies have our investment. What we have to worry about now is the regional division of labor. More and more companies that don’t seem to be profitable have been transferred to the two Congos and East India—our salary structure is also problematic, and southern Africa At the beginning of self-government, the wage gap between whites and people of color was 1:11, but now it has reached 1:20, we must be vigilant against this situation.” Owen frowned, and the current situation is indeed not optimistic.

If you can easily make money in finance, no one will be able to do business in a down-to-earth manner. Some factory owners in southern Africa work hard all year round. The year-end inventory is not as good as those shell companies that dump resources. .

It is well known that the cost of doing business is high. A factory with thousands of workers working hard for a year is not as profitable as ten gold-collar workers who sit in the office and blow the air conditioner all day. Therefore, there are some labor-intensive industries with meager profits in southern Africa. small enterprises began to transfer to the countries of the Southern African Union.

This is also an inevitable trend. After the outbreak of the world war, all financial companies made a lot of money from the war, and the real industry also made profits, but the money they earned was much less.

"Is the physical industry very expensive now?" Rock hadn't paid attention to these details for a long time.

Southern Africa still has advantages, such as cheap raw materials and cheap labor. After the outbreak of the world war, the federal government of Southern Africa cut taxes for entity enterprises several times, which should not be the case.

"A garment processing factory has to pay at least [-]% business tax in southern Africa. If it is in East India, it doesn't have to pay a penny. The East India government also has subsidies." Owen pouted, this is also a roll, from the National House roll.

"Minister Rhodes, have a good chat with the East India government. I can understand their mood to develop the economy, but it cannot affect the profits of southern African companies and the federal government." Point, any concession now will become the shackles of southern Africa in the future.

For some labor-intensive industries, such as [-] million shirts for an airplane, it doesn’t matter if they are transferred abroad. After all, Rock is most concerned about high-profit, high-value-added products.

The same is a shirt, the cheapest market price is about one rand.

If you put it in an Eternal store, you can sell it for 100 rand.

Will Yitnor's shirts be a hundred times better than ordinary shirts?

Certainly not possible, if you only start from the actual value, maybe the quality of Yitnor's shirts is even worse.

The reason why it is so expensive lies in the added value of the product. A shirt is only worth one rand, and the trademark of Yitnor is worth 99 rand.

"I have already talked about it. The reality is that no matter how we lower costs, producing in East India can bring us more profits." Stoudemire is also helpless. Although the salary of African-American workers is huge compared with that of southern African workers , Compared with the East India, it is still cost-effective.

This involves the level of economic development.

African-American textile workers in southern Africa earn at least five rand a month.

In East India, if it is a female worker, the minimum salary can be reduced to 2.5 rand, how can there be competition!

Apart from high value-added industries such as military industry, luxury goods, and electrical appliances, there are very few enterprises remaining in southern Africa. Even the resource industry has been transferred to the outside world.

No matter how many resources there are in southern Africa, the cost of mining is also very high. Environmental protection monitoring is the biggest obstacle. Now all states in southern Africa have begun to focus on tourism and culture. Many mines have been shut down, and even Rand Among the gold mines in the mining area, there are only a dozen large-scale ones still in operation.

gold mine -

This is the first pot of gold in southern Africa.

Now many gold mining companies, including the Upper Katanga Mining Resources Company owned by Roque, have shifted their business focus to Australia and Brazil.

This cannot be blamed on professional managers who are obsessed with profits. They are responsible for shareholders' profits, and profits are their only reference.

"Martin, do you have anything to say?" Roque threw the question to Martin. The federal government of Southern Africa invests billions of rand every year. Is the mission just to maintain world peace?
World peace is of course very important, and what is more important is to safeguard the interests of the southern African federal government and southern African enterprises.

"Referring to our current legal system, even if the East India government cooperates with our work, some profiteers will still have a way to evade our taxes." Martin is also worried. Without relevant laws, the name will not be justified.

The famous American economist Franklin said: In life, only taxes and death are inevitable.

Ada agrees.

The Ministry of Finance of Southern Africa has a large number of legal experts who have perfected the law as much as possible to make up for various tax evasion loopholes.

Some people have this talent, and no matter how perfect the legal provisions are, they can find loopholes that can be exploited. Some people even use their southern African identities to go to Australia or Brazil to obtain mining rights, and then change their nationality to evade taxes.

"It doesn't matter. I have a list in my hand. If I need it, I can follow it at any time. Those who think they are smart will pay an extraordinary price." Ada has been prepared for a long time. This is the legendary blacklist. Not one can escape.

"Then do it and bring those thieves and robbers to justice." Rock was decisive. Some people are always clever but are mistaken by their cleverness.

The laws in southern Africa are very strict, and they are not as high as the sky. If you abide by the law and do things within the scope of the law, you will not lose your money. The only difference is whether you earn more or less.

Those guys who obtained mining rights by virtue of their Southern African identities, and then changed their nationality to evade taxes think they are smart, but they are actually under the supervision of the Ministry of Finance and the General Administration of Taxation. Ada is also raising pigs now, fattening them before killing them.

"Russia's ambitions are limited, at most limited to Europe, more specifically Eastern Europe and Northern Europe, and have limited impact on us. What we need to be more wary of is the United States. From now on, we will compete with the United States in all aspects, regardless of Is it on the battlefield, or in the commercial field, or in ideology.” Rock finally concluded, sounding the clarion call to the United States.

Then start it in full swing, Goshawk and Rabbit are still trying their best, not to mention a giant like the United States, as for the United Kingdom, it is drizzle, whether it is Winston or Attlee as the British Prime Minister, it depends on Roque's face .

Rock did not forget his promise to Winston. The attack in Normandy is not only related to Winston's prestige, but also to the competition with Russia. Rock will send telegrams to Gavin and Patton respectively later, to make a move when it is time to do so. .

Gavin's mentality is now as stable as an old dog. There are still [-] southern African troops in the UK, and they can reinforce Normandy at any time.

Patton was even more excited. He already regarded Eisenhower as his biggest opponent.

As for Rommel—

Another Patton would be disappointed.

After Rommel was relieved of his post by Rommel, Rommel returned to Germany and asked to see him many times, hoping that he could quickly take a defensive position and move quickly, but he refused.

Rommel was very disappointed because of this. On June 6, Rommel returned to the front line for inspection, trying to obtain first-hand information to persuade Mustache, but was attacked by Allied fighter jets. Rommel's car was blown up and he was dumped. He got out of the car and was seriously injured.

This was originally an accident. Don't let the Allies exaggerate it as a conflict of interests within Germany. The "Times" claimed that Rommel was excluded because of his high achievements and the fear of the mustache.

Although the "Times" did not directly say the cause of Rommel's injury, as long as you read the report of "The Times", you will suspect that Rommel's accident was not an accident.
