Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2524 Renaissance Bank
Brad's office is still a bit principled. Petrovic is different from the foreigner Kurchi. He is a real southern African, and he should be treated differently.

Petrovich's loyalty to the Communist International is not much, it's just a job, and the ability to work is just that, otherwise the office in Cape Town would not have been half dead for so many years, if such a good tool person is replaced, in case Once it is replaced by a truly capable person, it will be thankless.

Therefore, mediocrity has the benefits of mediocrity, and only the early birds will be shot.

Kulci was a bird in his early years. He was active in France, and finally fell into the hands of Brad's office in southern Africa.

But Kurchi needn’t be too sad. The intelligence agencies of various countries have many people who have fallen into Brad’s hands. Southern Africa has long been a dragon’s pond and a tiger’s den for the intelligence agencies of various countries. Otherwise, there would be no such description as hell.

Rock doesn't have time to deal with these trivial matters now. What he cares about is the changes in the international situation. The international situation in the next few decades depends on one or two years.

"For us now, the biggest threat is not Germany, but Russia." De Gaulle flew to Pretoria three days ago, and made a last-ditch effort.

De Gaulle is still the president of the French coalition government, but his status is in jeopardy. France will hold a general election in July next year. De Gaulle has many opponents and has little hope of winning.

The French political landscape has always been a mess, and Ronald Capet, who is supported by southern Africa, is undoubtedly the most threatening one.

Georges Pidour, who represents the traditional forces in France, also has a large number of supporters in France.

Felix Gouin has the support of the Communist International. French capitalists do not have as many benefits and opportunities as southern African companies for workers.

De Gaulle is a really smart person, knowing that the key to breaking the game lies in Roque. Many heavyweights in southern Africa have expressed their support for Ronald Capet on different occasions, and it seems that the general trend is over.

Actually not necessarily.

The more complicated the situation in France, the more chances De Gaulle has. Even if he can't monopolize power like Roque, at least he has to be the one with the most weight.

As far as the situation in France is concerned, de Gaulle is not too worried to be honest.

It doesn’t matter if Ronald Capet has money, it’s impossible to distribute all his wealth equally to every Frenchman. Even if Ronald Capet wins the general election, in France’s situation, how long he can stay on stage is not a problem. It's easy to say.

The same is true for Georges Pidour. He is an extreme opponent of the Comintern. Although he has a large number of fans in France, he is destined not to be recognized by the working class, and naturally he will not get too many votes.

Purely in terms of votes, Felix Gouin, who has the support of the Communist International, seems to have the greatest advantage.

Elective votes are the most irrelevant thing. If Felix Gouin cannot bring a happy life to French workers, how many French workers would be willing to vote for Felix Gouin?

Therefore, based on such an analysis, De Gaulle's chances are not small, because what he is best at is to make full use of every opportunity.

No, in order to win Rock's support, de Gaulle came to Pretoria himself.

This is de Gaulle's 11th visit to Southern Africa in four years.

"The activity of the Comintern in Europe is unstoppable—" Roque did not explain why southern Africa chose Renard instead of de Gaulle.

There's nothing to explain, and for Southern Africa, Renard is the better choice.

Compared to Leonard, de Gaulle was too individual.

It's not that the personality is bad, but that under the leadership of Charles de Gaulle, France will certainly not succumb to any pressure, which is not a good thing for southern Africa.

With Leonard becoming the President of France, France may give up most of its military budget and put more pressure on its national defense on the protection of southern Africa.

De Gaulle certainly wouldn't do that.

Rock certainly wouldn't pin all his hopes on Leonard.

De Gaulle has a personality, which is finally within the acceptable range.

If Felix Gouan wins the election, that would be the worst possible outcome for southern Africa.

"The war has caused too much damage to France. Countless French people need relief this winter. Whether it is to continue fighting or restore and rebuild, they need financial support—" The purpose of de Gaulle's visit to Pretoria this time is to think To get back the gold belonging to the French government.

This isn't the first time de Gaulle has hit on the idea of ​​gold.

After the outbreak of World War II, the French government transferred 2430 tons of gold overseas in batches, most of them in southern Africa, as collateral for free French loans.

During the German occupation period, prices in France soared, and the franc depreciated rapidly. It had already been decoupled from gold, and there was no guarantee for the currency value.

To restore the economy, the credit of the currency must first be guaranteed, so de Gaulle wanted to return gold and rebuild the financial system.

"How much loan do you want this time?" Rock said straightforwardly, after all, it was for money.

"It's not about money. Loans can only alleviate the problem. To solve the problem fundamentally, we must rebuild the financial system." De Gaulle expressed it very difficultly, and he is really not very good at this aspect.

Perhaps in order to establish a tough image, de Gaulle has always appeared in front of the public as a soldier, and now de Gaulle is still wearing a military uniform.

Soldiers and bankers are two different groups, separated by mountains. It is too late for de Gaulle to switch careers to study finance.

But to govern the country, soldiers are really not as good as bankers.

"It's not easy to rebuild finance—" Rock didn't really understand, he only wanted to make money.

Knowing how to make money is enough, and making money through industry, not using financial methods to make money, there is still a difference between the two.

Using financial methods to collect money is just like the American stock market tycoon. Every ten or eight years, there will be an economic crisis, and it is very easy to buy high and sell low to harvest leeks smoothly.

Rock doesn't encourage this way of making money, so he doesn't care much about stocks. The really powerful big companies in southern Africa don't go public at all, such as Rand Bank, South African companies, etc., but Henry's Fawalt goes public Yes, but there are not many outstanding shares, just for fun.

"It's really not easy. Compared with those vampires, I would rather fight the Germans!" De Gaulle was still willing to tell the truth in front of Rock.

In fact, his thinking is a bit narrow. Bankers are not vampires, but Hebrew loan sharks are.

In finance and finance, money has to flow to create value. Only then can money generate money, otherwise it will be a pool of stagnant water.

The French politician that de Gaulle really hated, his love for France is undoubted, but because of his limited ability, he cannot really reform France, so he is very entangled.

"The war will always end, and peace is the theme." Rock persuaded implicitly that when it was time to let go, he had to let go.

In Roque's view, for de Gaulle, it is not necessarily a bad thing to retreat bravely.

Even if de Gaulle retreated bravely, his contribution to France is unmatched.

The mess in France, whoever comes to power will be troubled, don’t look at Leonard, Pidur, and Gouin who are very active now, but in fact all of them have flaws, and they will know when they really get to that position, really When governing a country is cooking.

If Roque were de Gaulle, he would give up politics now and put all his energy on the army. Power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Compared with French politics, the army is still relatively easy to control.

What Renard, Pidour, whoever wants to be the French president, let him go, and de Gaulle will honestly take care of his mess, and when these people are all beaten and disheartened , De Gaulle came out again to clean up the mess.

The real boss is always the last to appear.

Looking at the rebels who were the first to jump back in history, there is almost no good end. Building high walls, accumulating food and slowly becoming king is the kingly way.

It is not so easy to ask for things, not to mention that the gold in the Rand Bank in France is all mortgaged. If the gold is returned, what will the French do if they follow the example of the Russians?
This is where the professionals come into play.

"It's still impossible to pay back. The current French government is only a provisional government. Even if you want to pay it back, you have to pay it back to the real French government. Let's talk about it in a few years." Ada refused straight away, seeing that she meant that she would never pay it back.

After entering the gate of Rand Bank, I still want to go back. I really treat Rand Bank as a bank.

The Rand Bank under the leadership of Ada is much darker than the Hebrews who only know how to lend money.

Usurers are only greedy for interest, and Ada even wants to bring interest with her principal.

Of course, this is only in the case of facing outsiders.

Rand Bank is still very conscientious when dealing with southern Africans.

"How many years?" Rock was curious. Ada had always been kind and kind in front of him, and never showed her teeth or claws.

"I mean we'll discuss it in a few years, don't you think it's okay to pay it back in a few years—" Ada was so cruel that she didn't even give her a chance to discuss it.

That's right, after a few years, it's hard to say who will call the shots in France. It's really early to discuss this issue now.

"Then what if the French government pays off the loan?" Roque asked, and then he couldn't help but laugh.

I don't know how many years it will take to pay off. Anyway, Roque, Ida, and De Gaulle probably won't see that day by then.

"Hehe, the revolving interest accrues interest, and new debts are added to the old debts, how can it be paid off—" Ada is the vampire that De Gaulle said.

Rock was amazed, it was so easy for him to make money.

Ada is not only good at sucking blood, but also has a strong ability to create opportunities.

The Ministry of Finance of Southern Africa has recently joined forces with the Rand Bank and the Imperial Bank to prepare for the establishment of the International Bank for Reconstruction.

The war is about to end, and recovery and reconstruction are about to become the mainstay.

Not only is France short of money, but Italy, Spain, Greece, even Britain, and Russia are short of money. There are only two rich countries in the world, one in southern Africa and the other in the United States. If southern Africa does not take action, the Americans will take the lead.

How could this kind of thing be possible, so this work has already started since June and July last year.

The International Bank for Reconstruction, you can tell how big this bank is just by looking at its name. The Rand Bank and the Imperial Bank jointly invested 100 billion rand.

Of course, the accounts are not calculated in this way. The biggest BUG of the bank is that it can use capital to leverage capital. With 100 billion capital, it can do [-] trillion yuan in business. The key is to gain the trust of other countries.

Trust is key.

Why is France storing gold in southern Africa?
It's not because Southern Africa promised to repay the French intact when they need it.

The Russians refused to repay their debts at the beginning, and the credibility of the entire country was destroyed, and the League of Nations refused to let it in.

Therefore, Russia's exclusion from mainstream society is really not discrimination at the national level, but purely self-inflicted.

The money borrowed by the state will not be repaid if it is not repaid. Then who will dare to deal with the Russians in the future.

So as long as France pays back the money, Southern Africa will definitely return the gold to the French. This is the national reputation and cannot be easily destroyed——

No, it's not that it can't be done easily, but absolutely not. It takes a long time to build trust, and it's too easy to destroy it.

So some countries say that if they tear up the agreement, they will tear up the agreement, and wait a few years to see.

The purpose of the Reconstruction Bank is not only to promote restoration and reconstruction, but also to invest in development business. For example, a country has discovered a mine but has no capital to develop it. At this time, the Reconstruction Bank can invest.

Ada approached Rock, and the main task was to report the progress of the construction of the Fuxing Bank.

"Anyone can get a loan, but don't lend to Indians—" Rock, an old foreign trader, has blood and tears experience on this issue.

It’s almost an old question, it’s also 14 billion people, why can’t India develop?

Onlookers are not qualified to answer this question. The old foreign traders played a history of blood and tears. The most discredited country in the world is not Russia, but India.

Others don't know, anyway, when Rock did business with the Indians, he paid the full amount first, and it was at an FOB price. He found a way to transport it away, whether he liked it or not.

Customers from other countries place an order after paying [-]% to [-]% in advance.

Indians must pay in full, otherwise they must be prepared for blood loss.

"If India wants a loan, the United Kingdom must come forward—" Ada didn't think about this issue at all.

That's right, India is not a country yet, it's just a British colony, and the colonial government doesn't even qualify for loans.

The colonial government is extremely unstable. It's hard to say when the colonial rule will collapse. Who can I ask for money?

Therefore, if India wants to get a loan from the Bank of Reconstruction, the United Kingdom must come forward. The United Kingdom is relatively reputable. After all, it has a solid foundation and can lose for a few years.

It won't take many years to lose.

At this point in the world war, the status of the pound as an international currency is as precarious as de Gaulle's status in France.

Not only the rand, but the dollar is also eyeing, and they are all thinking about the pound.

The Federal Government of Southern Africa led the establishment of the Bank for Reconstruction, which is also poaching the corner of the pound.

It's all here to borrow rand, who still uses pounds.
