Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2496 In the name of business
The situation in Italy is more complicated. The three larger parties are the Socialist Party, which was established the earliest time, the Labor Party, which split from the Socialist Party, and the Catholic Democratic Party, which was established only last year.

Among the three parties, the Socialist Party has a relatively broad political base, the Labor Party has the support of Russia and the Communist International, and the Catholic Democratic Party was established the latest and has the support of the Holy See behind it. None of these three parties can form a government alone. Therefore, the current Italian provisional government It is composed of six parties.

For a country, the two-party system of the United States is too much. One can imagine the degree of chaos in a six-party coalition government like Italy.

It is said that the Italian Parliament quarrels as soon as it is in a meeting. It is more lively than the meeting of the Council of the League of Nations. The coalition government has hardly achieved any results since it was established. Every day is spent in quarrels and wrangling.

The key coalition government is not justified, it has not been officially recognized internationally, and it has not obtained legal status in Italy, so the MPs can only quarrel all day long.

Now the government that can nominally represent Italy is the Kingdom of Italy, because the Kingdom of Italy is a member of the Axis Powers, so the coalition government is now trying to join the Allies in order to obtain the status of a victorious country and participate in dividing up the fruits of the war.

It can be seen that Italy has a good plan and is planning to join the Allied Powers at the last moment just like the previous World War. After the war, it actually got the status of a permanent member of the League of Nations——

I am afraid that even the Italians themselves did not expect this result.

Now the Italians are repeating their tricks, but the Allies dare not agree easily.

It would be fine if there was only one Italy, and there are several countries waiting beside it, such as Romania, Bulgaria, Finland, etc. If Italy can be regarded as a victorious country, what about other countries?
The performance of Italy in the last world war served as a very bad example for other countries. Not only France bet left and right, Romania, Bulgaria and other countries also broke out in their own countries when Germany was defeated. Uprising, join the Allied camp at the most opportune time.

If all of this is accepted, then in future fights, everything will be foolish, and whoever wins will help the other, and there will be no loss.

There are countries with strong positions such as Britain, Russia, southern Africa, etc. that have lost.

Now they are all waiting to share the fruits of victory after the war, but where are the fruits of victory?

If you catch a German sheep and pluck it hard, how much wool can you get? Romania, Bulgaria and other slave countries, when Germany swept across Europe, drank soup with the Germans, and Germany was defeated. Such a good thing.

According to the previous plans of Rock, Winston, and Roosevelt, including Italy, after the war, they had to cut off a piece of meat, and even the profits had to be spit out.

The plan is very good, but unfortunately, including Roque, Russia's role has been ignored.

Leaving aside Italy and France, Romania has already received a promise from Big Beard to fully invest in the Russian camp and accept Russia's protection.

Or it can be said that it is the threat of the beard. If there is no protection from Russia, Romania will be worse than Germany after the end of the war after the war.

Balancing the two, the Romanians wisely chose Russia, which is closer.

There is no way, let alone the United States and southern Africa, the United Kingdom and France are too far away from Romania, and it is really beyond reach.

On the contrary, Russia is close at hand. If the Romanians dare not agree, the Romanian "workers" will riot tomorrow. This threat is real.

It's the same in Italy. Roque doesn't know what kind of promise Big Beard has given to the Italians. Anyway, the Italian Labor Party has been quite high-profile recently.

"If you want Italy to become a bridgehead against Russia, you must at least give me enough bargaining chips so that I can persuade the parliament." The librarian, Farifa, was so angry that he was deeply impressed.

What Stoudemire was most worried about happened. The librarian hoped to get more help from southern Africa, otherwise he would choose to accept help from Russia.

The French are good at hedging, and the Italians are not bad either.

"Archide, Russia worships the Orthodox Church—" Arthur is very busy now, and the southern African expeditionary forces fighting in Italy all come from the Fifth Army under Arthur's command.

I won’t go into details about the relationship between the Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church. The librarian was born in the Holy See. Even without considering this, Arthur is sure that Archid is just taking advantage of the current situation to win more benefits for Italy.

If you really want to choose the Russian model, among other things, one of the current politicians in Italy counts as one, and all of them have to go to Siberia to undergo labor reform.

The grandfather of the worker in Russia is different from the "fake foreign devils" in France and Italy. The revolution will really kill him.

"Religion and politics have nothing to do, we are talking about Italy, not the Vatican—" Archid tried to argue that he needed more help to get a greater degree of support.

Archid serves as the foreign minister in the coalition government, and his most important task at present is to negotiate with the allies and strive for the status of a victorious country after the war.

Before that, Archide must first restore the people's livelihood in Italy. Winter is coming, and Italy has had a difficult time in the past few years.

Before the outbreak of the World War, the fat and bald head was full of ambitions. First, 50 expeditionary troops went to the Abyssinian Empire, and then sent 10,000+ people to directly participate in the Spanish Civil War, with almost no gains.

The conquest of the Abyssinian Empire brought little benefit to Italy, but because maintaining colonial rule cost a lot of money every year.

The Spanish Civil War was even worse. The Falange suffered a crushing defeat, and even the fat and bald head's status in Italy was affected.

After the outbreak of the World War, southern Africa sent expeditionary forces to wipe out all the Italian colonial forces in the Abyssinian Empire at the first time, and then joined the British army to drive Italy out of North Africa. So far, Italy lost almost all its overseas colonies. Blood transfusions in overseas colonies were completely cut off.

As mentioned in the previous chapter, these old colonial countries, without the blood transfusion from overseas colonies, cannot even guarantee the basic livelihood of the people.

The situation is more serious in Italy than in France because Italians live in more luxury and demand higher standards.

If there is not enough food this winter, Italy will starve to death.

Needless to say ten years ago.

Five years ago, who would have thought that people in Europe could still starve to death——

"Archide, if you want to get more investment, you must first show the potential worth investing in." Arthur was unmoved, he could even refuse de Gaulle, and Archide was the oldest.

Leaving Arthur's office, Archid was depressed.

"Mr. Archid, if you want to get help, we can have a good chat." A big bearded man with a smile on his face handed over his business card - Alexander Zagolov.

Slavs!

Archide was really surprised. This is Cyprus. Are the Russians so arrogant now? They are directly conducting public activities in Cyprus.

"Don't get me wrong, although I am a Slav, I work for the federal government of Southern Africa." Alexander is used to it. The concept of Slavs is very broad, and there are many Slavs in Southern Africa.

"What can we talk about?" Archid remained vigilant. Such unreasonable overtures usually have bigger intentions behind them.

"Why don't we find a cafe and chat while drinking." Alexander treats guests, and the cafes in Cyprus are still good.

Thanks to the increasingly abundant supplies in southern Africa, Cyprus found a Mediterranean island and has now become a holiday paradise around the Mediterranean Sea. Here, you can taste food from all over the world and enjoy meticulous service. The cafe here is open 24 hours , not only coffee, but also snacks, as well as alcoholic beverages.

Alexander and Archide just drank coffee, but Archide didn't have much interest in coffee from East Asia. The production process of this kind of coffee was too bad. Archide had always demanded himself by the standards of a clergyman and could not accept it.

"I come from a small company in Los Angeles. You must not have heard of the name, so I won't introduce it in detail. Our company has a wide range of businesses. I can provide you with whatever you need." Alexander not only ordered coffee, but also Asked for a cookie-like dessert.

"I need food, can you get it?" Archid didn't ask about Alexander's background. People like Alexander are everywhere, and they are usually the spokesperson of a certain country or a certain force.

"This is a commodity in short supply. As long as you pay a high enough price, you can have as much as you want." Alexander was full of confidence. Combined with Alexander's background, it was indeed possible.

Europe has been raging with wars in the past few years, but southern Africa has had good weather and good weather. The food has been harvested year after year. The popularization of machinery has brought higher productivity to farms, effectively making up for the shortage of manpower caused by the world war.

It is not that there is no land in Europe, but that no one is farming. Men are dragged to the battlefield, women are all working in factories, and the elderly and children are left unattended. Naturally, the fields can only be abandoned.

The farms in southern Africa have a large area, and any farm has hundreds of acres. In the past, farms had to hire a large number of laborers from neighboring countries in southern Africa every busy season. The situation has improved fundamentally in recent years. Repeatedly set new highs.

Regrettably, also in Africa, only southern Africa is not only self-sufficient in food, but also exported in large quantities, and other countries cannot even be self-sufficient.

The Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Congo has organized officials to study in southern Africa many times, hoping to improve the agricultural level of the Republic of Congo.

Southern Africa also sent agricultural experts to the Republic of Congo to guide agricultural production, but unfortunately the effect was not great.

Farmers in southern Africa cultivate the land intensively, water when it should be watered, and drain water when it should be drained. They also weed and apply pesticides in a timely manner, and the grain output is naturally high.

Congolese farming is hard to say. If it is not urged by the officials of the Republic of Congo, the Congolese will not even farm at all. They rely on primitive collection, at least they will not go hungry.

Therefore, when southern African agricultural experts went to Congo to guide agricultural production, they saw Congolese farmers throwing seeds on the ground casually and then relying on the sky to eat their farming methods. They really had nothing to say.

Deep cultivation?
If it doesn't exist, I don't even bother digging a hole.

Breeding naturally does not exist. Agricultural experts in southern Africa suspect that in a country as large as the Republic of Congo, there is not even a single person who can breed.

The Republic of Congo sends many people to study in universities in southern Africa every year. Those students are more willing to study law, finance, economics and other fast-growing industries. None of them choose agricultural colleges.

"If I want money, do I still need to look for you?" Archid was confident, and now it was Alexander's turn to be unbelievable.

Are you priests so shameless in everything you do?
What kind of food do you want if you don't have money? It might be better to get a bowl and beg along the street.

"Tell me what you want from me. You shouldn't buy me a cup of coffee for no reason." Archid has no money, but he has resources, which are also the countless capitals in Italy.

Needless to say, the overseas colonies, the Abyssinian Empire was not justified in the first place, and now that Haier I has returned to the country, he will definitely not accept Italian colonial rule.

Maybe Italy has to compensate for the losses caused to the Abyssinian Empire, which is another bad debt.

Not to mention North Africa, Britain and France were already salivating over Italy’s colonies in North Africa. Now that oil has been discovered in North Africa, it will not be returned to Italy. .

Tanganyika and Southwest Africa were incorporated into Southern Africa in this way.

"Get your friendship, and our company's right to operate legally in Italy." Alexander really wanted something.

However, Alexander's way of begging for help made Archid very uncomfortable.

"What does your company do?" Archid was curious, what kind of business cannot be legally operated in Italy?

"Please don't get me wrong, we are a trading company, and the products we sell and purchase are completely legal." Alexander volunteered to explain.

Archid is even more curious, since it is completely legal, why can't it operate legally.

"As you know, as a foreign company, our business scope in Italy is severely restricted, and at the same time, we have to bear taxes that are nearly twice as high as Italian companies, which is very unreasonable." What Alexander said, Archid I don't know much, after all, he is the Minister of Foreign Affairs, not the Minister of Commerce.

"Can Italian companies get the same status as Southern African companies in Southern Africa?" Archid Business Peer.

Alexander smiled and did not explain.

Italian companies are not qualified to negotiate terms with the federal government of southern Africa.
