Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2519 Blame the damn war

Chapter 2519 Blame the damn war
At the moment in 1944, the workers’ welfare system in southern Africa was quite good all over the world, such as the eight-hour work system, one or even two days off a week, marriage leave, maternity leave, holiday leave, etc., basic benefits are guaranteed .

Even in this case, Johannesburg Textile Group is still the most special one.

As we all know, textile enterprises are notoriously labor-intensive industries, and the majority of workers are women, so the textile industry often becomes synonymous with sweatshops.

Johannesburg Textile Group is not. It has never worried about orders since the first day of its establishment. High-quality and cheap wool provides Johannesburg Textile Group with the best raw materials. The continuous orders from federal governments at all levels make Johannesburg Textile Group Constantly expanding, from a small processing plant at the beginning, it has grown into an industry giant with 10,000+ employees.

This is certainly a good thing for southern Africa, but the federal government has not enjoyed much dividends from the development of the Johannesburg Textile Group.

The reason is simple. The Johannesburg Textile Group has made very little profit in the past few decades since its establishment. The tax collectors of the federal government are very helpless.

The workers of the textile group were very happy.

Not paying taxes does not mean that there is no profit, but because the management of the Johannesburg Textile Group returns most of the profits to workers in the form of salaries and benefits, so there is no money to turn over to the federal government.

"In the era when Ford in the United States gave workers a salary of five dollars, the salary of workers in the Johannesburg Textile Group reached 6.5 rand. This is unique not only in southern Africa, but also in the whole world." Petrovic said with envy and gratitude.

This 6.5 rand is not monthly or weekly, but daily.

And it's not that only a few outstanding employees can get this level of salary, but all, 6.5 rand is the minimum standard.

In particular, it should be emphasized that this is the salary paid to workers by the Johannesburg Textile Group in the last world war, that is, in 1914.

It should be emphasized that the treatment of workers in many countries has not reached this level.

Like the French railway workers.

Fortunately for Petrovic, if all the capitalists in the world offered workers the same treatment as the Johannesburg Textile Group, then Petrovic and Kurchi would lose their jobs, and the Comintern would have no market.

What made Petrovich even more envious was that, as an agent of the Comintern in southern Africa, his salary was not as good as that of a female textile worker in the Johannesburg Textile Group.

Women textile workers in 1914.

"Why?" Kurch couldn't figure it out, it was so uncapitalistic.

"Because the owner of the Johannesburg Textile Group is Mrs. Nyasaland, and the current general manager is Her Royal Highness Rose Locke. You may not know that as the general manager of the Johannesburg Textile Group, Her Royal Highness Rose Locke The monthly salary is only 350 rand, which is the minimum standard in the Johannesburg Textile Group."

Kurci took a moment to get used to Petrovich's expression.

"Madame", and "His Royal Highness So-and-so", these are expressions inherited from the British nobility.

The aristocratic system has long been abolished in southern Africa, and Kulqi doesn't know why Petrovic still uses this method.

Presumably to show respect for members of the Locke family.

Kurch knew that Mrs. Nyasaland was referring to Phyllis.

Rose is Rock's youngest daughter.

"You mean that the workers of the Johannesburg Textile Group will not be affected by us." Kurchi could feel Petrovich's pessimistic attitude.

"Who knows, anyway, I have been to Angel City many times, but that was ten years ago." As the head of the Communist International, Petrovich would definitely not let the Johannesburg Textile Group go.

Unfortunately, the Johannesburg Textile Group brought only disappointment to Petrovic.

Over time, Petrovich was naturally unwilling to waste time on the Johannesburg Textile Group.

When the shuttle bus drove into Angel City, what Kurchi saw was the red ocean.

This "red" is not the red of the flag of the Communist International, but the red of the emperor flower in southern Africa. Red is also the main color of the clothing of the women workers of the Johannesburg Textile Group.

The king flower is known as the national flower of southern Africa. Its flowers are huge, unique in shape, magnificent and colorful, noble and elegant. It is known as the "king of flowers". Tenacious vitality, and a symbol of victory, completeness and auspiciousness.

Different from the cheap uniforms of ordinary workers, the uniforms of Johannesburg Textile Group's female workers are designed by senior designers from Itno, and produced by Johannesburg Textile Group itself. The group's female workers love it, and it is also favored by southern African women.

Most factory uniforms are worn by workers only when they go to work.

The uniforms of the Johannesburg Textile Group are not only worn by female workers when they go to work, but also as daily clothing after get off work.

The key point is that the Johannesburg Textile Group has good benefits. The uniforms are not only new in style, but also in large quantities. The workers can't wear them all, so they take them home to their families. This leads to the fact that in the entire Angel City, not to mention [-]%, at least [-]% of the women are imperial red. .

"In Angel City, if you meet a woman wearing the uniform of the Johannesburg Textile Group, then you have to pay special attention. This group is very difficult to mess with, and you will be sued if you are not careful. The legal department of the Johannesburg Textile Group is They are the most steadfast backing." Petrovich was terrified, and it seemed that he had suffered a lot.

Kurchi didn't ask why. Angel City was formed by relying on the Johannesburg Textile Group.

It can be seen that the status of women in Angel City is indeed very high. Most of the staff Kurchi saw at the station, including police officers, were women.

Kurchi knew that the status of women in southern Africa was relatively high, but it still surprised him that it was as high as Angel City.

At the moment in 1944, women all over the world are working hard to improve their social status.

For example, in the United Kingdom, women are working hard for the right to vote. The reason why the British Labor Party has risen suddenly has a lot to do with its promise to give women political rights.

In Italy, women are fighting for the right to wear swimwear on the beach. Before, if women rushed to wear swimwear in public, they would be arrested by the police in the name of "indecent".

Women in Southern Africa have long had the right to vote.

On the beach in southern Africa, women can wear whatever clothes they want without having to bear the strange eyes of people.

Of course, you must wear it. If you don't wear it, you will also be arrested by the police.

And of course, if a woman is arrested, the police will send a female officer.

In Angel City, women can not only be police officers, but also train drivers, architects, field surveys at the Bureau of Surveying and Mapping, etc. All jobs are open to women and treated equally.

Considering the situation of the Johannesburg Textile Group, Angeles City has also become a city in southern Africa that treats men particularly favorably. In this city, boys will definitely not worry about having a partner, because there are too many girls here.

"If you think that girls here are easy to get because there are many girls in Angel City, then you are wrong. Girls in Angel City are not difficult to catch, but they are very demanding and value character above family conditions. Backed by Johannesburg Textile They really don’t need to worry about finances for the welfare of the group.” Petrovic felt like he was in heaven as soon as he stepped out of the station.

Kurchi did as the Romans did, smiling at the ladies passing by, and getting a smile and a nod in return.

This kindness from strangers made Kurci feel very good.

In Europe, Kulci never dared to smile at strangers, that would only get him into trouble.

"I think I have fallen in love with this city." Kurci is very happy, at least what Angel City prepares for Kurci is no longer the cold staff in Brad's office.

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao will arrive.

As soon as Kurch thought of Brad, two staff members from Brad's office appeared in front of Kurch and Petrovich.

Fortunately, the staff of Brad in Angel City are also women.

"Glick Kurch, Karol Petrovich, welcome to Angeles City."

Kurci felt the familiar feeling again.

"Ma'am, we were just traveling, and we didn't do anything illegal." Petrovic was better at dealing with Brad.

"I know I know, so I'm not here to arrest you, just a friendly reminder, do you need to send a car for you?" The girl was polite, which made Kurchi more vigilant.

In Johannesburg, the attitude of Brad's staff towards Kulci and Petrovic is still fresh in Kulki's memory.

Brad from Angel City was willing to send a car for Kurchi and Petrovic, which made Kurchi feel even more ridiculous.

Of course, it was normal. The purpose of dispatching the car was definitely not to facilitate the work of Kurchi and Petrovich, but to better monitor them.

It's also a joke.

"No need—" Kurci refused of course.

"That would be great—" Petrovich said shamelessly.

Kurci looked at Petrovich with surprise.

Don't say you don't know the purpose of dispatching a car!
"Beautiful thinking!" The girl really teased, pointing to her own eyes, and then pointing to Kurchi and Petrovich, meaning that I was staring at you, and then retreated quietly.

Looking at the slender backs of the two black suits, what Kulqi left was not terror, but temptation.

Damn nature!
There are many temptations.

Such as female mounted police.

The agents in black uniforms are enough to trigger the secretion of male hormones, and the female mounted policemen are simply full of hormones.

The police uniforms in southern Africa have very retro elements. The police hat is not the ugly big-brimmed hat, but a black leather helmet with a retro style. It is paired with a tailored jacket-style windbreaker and tight breeches, and another one is worn around the waist The long-barreled revolver with chrome-plated barrel is absolutely handsome.

"That gun barrel is not chrome-plated, but silver-plated—" Petrovich emphasized emphatically.

Kurchi felt the richness of Angel City in an instant.

No matter chrome plating or silver plating, it is to make the barrel shine and look better.

The difference is that silver plating costs more.

Although chromium is also a precious metal, it is a joke to describe metals as "precious" in southern Africa.

What is even more dazzling is that the horses ridden by the Mounted Police in Angel City are all tall and handsome Arabian horses.

This can also explain why the relationship between southern Africa and the Arab region is good. In southern Africa, if there is no Arabian horse on any farm, the farmer will have no face.

The people of the Transvaal are especially fond of horses, and horse racing was their favorite sport long ago.

Even now, football, the most popular game in other parts of the world, ranks second to horse racing in the Transvaal.

"Doesn't the Johannesburg Textile Group not pay taxes? Why is the municipal department of Angel City still so rich?" Kurchi was very unhappy.

The richer the people of Angeles City, the less room for Kurch to make a difference.

"The Johannesburg Textile Group just doesn't pay taxes to the federal government, and it's not that they don't pay taxes to the Angel City municipal department—" Petrovich thought for a while, and added: "—the mayor of Angel City is the honorable Rose Locke Your Highness."

That would explain it.

The left hand is the right hand.

After all, it is for the Johannesburg Textile Group.

More specifically, for members of the Johannesburg Textile Group.

There is a difference between the two.

So Kurchi became very curious about that honorable Highness Rose Locke.

It's a pity that Kurch is not qualified to meet Rose yet.

Jessica, treasurer at the Textile Group in Johannesburg, is eligible.

So Rose has a slight headache, because every time Jessica comes to Rose, she always brings one or several bad news.

This time, too, Jessica brought Rose the bad news that the cost had risen again, which made Rose very angry.

"What is the Agricultural Association doing? This is the third price increase this year. Tell Chen Mingqi that I will never accept it this time. If he still wants to cooperate with us, it's best not to be too greedy." Rose is busy with business, she There are nearly 50 people in the city of Angel City under its management, which can also rank high in southern Africa.

Chen Mingqi is the president of the Johannesburg Farm Association, which is one of the characteristics of southern Africa. No matter what industry, there are industry associations.

Hunters have hunter associations, farms have farm associations, and even accountants have accounting associations.

Of course there are trade unions, but the trade unions in southern Africa are different from the trade unions in Europe and the United States. Rose herself is the president of the Johannesburg Textile Group Workers Association.

"Chen can't help it. This year's raw materials have risen many times, and the cost of the farm is increasing. It's all because of the damn war!" Jessica pointed to the root of the problem.

Yeah, it's all about the damn war.

If the war does not end, Southern Africa will soon be unable to hold on.
