Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2630 Blue Star Number One
The Badge Hotel is really a magical place, no matter how high the status is, it will be revealed when you get here, and you will explain everything clearly.

"This is the case. Bob Wheeler relies on these seemingly independent thinking remarks to attract people's attention and benefit by the way." Alvin does not care about the interrogation process, only the results.

A mere district councilor has not yet had the chance to be in Alvin's sight. Most of the councilors that Alvin knows are members of Congress, and at the end they have to be state councilors to be eligible to appear around Alvin.

"Is there any foreign capital exchange?" Gai Wen didn't care about the fate of the person involved. After this step, the person is basically finished.

It's actually quite a pity.

Well, the professor at the Johannesburg School of Medicine was inappropriate, and he chose to mix in some political circle. Now it is impossible to go back to be a professor.

"No, you must not know who the big benefactor of this guy is—" Alvin had a helpless smile on his face.

"Who?" Gavin asked curiously.

"Your old man—" Alvin laughed.

Gavin looked constipated, eating melons on his own head.

It's okay, this seems to be something that the old man who has always been unreliable can do.

Like Rock, Stoudemire is now over sixty.

Unlike Rock, who is still insisting, Stoudemire retired early about ten years ago, handed over the management of the company under his name to a team of professional managers, and lived a retired life like a wild crane.

That's not right, Stoudemire's retirement life is not idle. Compared with Rock's endless meetings, Stoudemire's retirement life is extremely exciting.

Stoudemire is a character who can't be idle, and he has to have some fun when he has nothing to do. It is not surprising to donate to the People's Party. Stoudemire is also a big donor of the Liberal Party, the Progressive Party, and the Nyasaland Party.

This is the real cunning rabbit's three caves. He is determined not to put all his eggs in one basket. After Rock retires, no matter who wins, Stoudemire will be the ultimate winner.

Of course, Stoudemire's support for the People's Party is definitely much worse than that of the Liberal Party.

"What's the old man doing recently?" Although Gavin is Xiaosi's son-in-law, his relationship with Xiaosi is not too close.

"Opera—" Alvin had a playful expression.

Gavin nodded and left it behind, not noticing Alvin's expression.

Listening to opera is normal. In the era of lack of entertainment, appreciating opera is one of the most enthusiastic activities of the so-called upper class.

Of course, the "appreciation" here needs to be quoted.

The status of opera is very high, and the tickets are quite expensive. Those world-renowned troupes are busy touring around the world every day, and it is rare for ordinary people to see them.

Let’s not talk about people who really like opera. The reason why most aristocratic children pursue opera is because of beautiful actresses. Many people spend a lot of money for the opportunity to have dinner together.

When Stoudemire was studying in the UK, he was a famous opera lover, and he restrained himself after returning to southern Africa.

This was not because Stoudemire had changed his sex, but because southern Africa was a poor country at that time, and those world-famous theater troupes would never perform in southern Africa, so Stoudemire had no chance to continue to like opera.

Now with the development of southern Africa, big cities such as Pretoria, Los Angeles, and Cape Town have permanent theater troupes, and more and more famous theater troupes come to southern Africa to perform. However, the status of opera is It is much worse than before.

Southern Africa has a well-developed entertainment industry. Television stations broadcast programs 24 hours a day, and new movies are released almost every day. There are so-called blockbuster movies every month.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to watch movies. The football leagues in southern Africa are also world-class. After the popularity of live TV broadcasts, the two matches between the Nyasaland Eagles and Rhodesia United every year have been upgraded from the national derby to all fans around the world. festival.

After the outbreak of the World War, the football project traveled all over the world with the footsteps of the expeditionary force, and the number of fans increased. This is a major victory for the export of southern African culture.

Roque had no time to listen to the opera, and after returning to southern Africa from the United States, Roque was surrounded by endless meetings.

The world war was drawing to a close, and Rock had to consider not only the post-war world structure, but also the economy of southern Africa.

If there is no accident, after the end of the world war, the economic crisis will come again. This time, southern Africa will not be spared and will be severely impacted by the economic crisis.

In the previous economic crises, Southern Africa was able to survive the economic crisis with its own advantages in resources and size. Even if the "Great Depression" came, it did not have much impact on Southern Africa because of Rock's response.

This time is different from the past.

Most of the economic crises in the past were triggered by the United States, and the reasons are very complicated, which have been explained earlier and will not be repeated here.

Relying on its strong industrial capabilities, southern Africa became the biggest beneficiary of the Second World. During the war, the industry in southern Africa rose to a new level due to strong demand, and not only European countries, but also the United States were dwarfed.

After the end of the world war, the economies of various countries will gradually recover, and the demand for commodities in southern Africa will also decline rapidly. Especially in the military industry, the order volume will definitely decline in an avalanche, which may trigger an industry crisis.

"The economic crisis has actually appeared. Since the beginning of the year, our orders have fallen sharply, especially the orders of the military industry have dropped by more than 50.00%, some orders have been cancelled, and some unfinished orders have also been suspended." Morris, Minister of Industry, just turned 50 Still young for a politician.

Morris graduated from Nyasaland University, and he has a teacher-student relationship with Rock in name. He is also the first batch of graduates of Nyasaland University. After graduation, he entered the Ministry of Industry with steady performance and gradually improved. Minister of Industry.

"—Fortunately, we have been prepared for a long time, and we have gradually promoted the transformation of the arsenal since last year, so the current situation, compared with our American counterparts, is acceptable to us." Morris is very fortunate to have such a sober man as Rock guide.

Southern Africa, like the United States, provides logistical support to the Allied Forces, and the military industries of both countries are the biggest beneficiaries of the World War.

Like southern Africa, most of the arsenals in the United States are private enterprises, the government has no right to interfere, and they have a lot of autonomy.

Rock himself is the owner of the largest arsenal in southern Africa, so whether to transform is up to Rock. As long as Rock makes a decision, others will follow suit. Even if profits are affected in a short period of time, they can survive in the long run Go on, which is the biggest victory during the economic crisis.

American capitalists are synonymous with greed. Even if Roosevelt is president, the situation will not change much.

When there are many orders, the capitalists will not reduce production, but will only desperately increase factories, recruit workers, and make money first.

For capitalists, they have everything when they have money, and if there is no order, at most they will close their doors, and the factory land and machinery can make another profit. As for the lives of unemployed workers, it has nothing to do with them.

In this case, even Roosevelt's guidance is of little use. The capitalists will even influence the US government's decision-making in order to ensure profits.

"From now on, we must prepare to live a hard life. We will have a real competition with our competitors." Rock considered more far-reaching.

During the World War, the countries participating in the war had no room for choice. The enemies were all at their door. It didn't matter what kind of weapon it was, as long as it could be used, and the quality didn't matter at all.

In the situation in Russia, when the battle was the most intense, the survival time of soldiers on the battlefield was calculated in hours.

So it really doesn't matter if the quality is good or not. For the same barrel, the lifespan of [-] rounds is not much different from that of [-] rounds, and even a hundred rounds can be used.

The six-year world war has exhausted the national power of the countries participating in the war. Even countries like France and Italy are considering no longer retaining the army, and relying more on the protection of their allies for national security. Needless to say, small countries, they originally Can't afford it either.

Of course, Roque will not be carried away.

The disarmament of France and Italy is a last resort. Given time, they will definitely regain their national defense and will not always rely on southern Africa.

That's when it's the real competition.

"Our quality is the best." Morris has not experienced Rock's era, and does not know what is really good.

The term "good quality and low price" includes two parts. Good quality and cheap price at the same time, both are indispensable.

To be honest, cheap price is even more important than quality.

For the same product, if you buy 100 points of quality at a price of 100 points, only those who are not short of money will choose it.

The choice of most people is that it is enough to buy 50 points of quality at a price of 80 points.

Rock needs both good quality and low price.

"Target customers must be precise. For customers like Russia, quality is not important, but price is the most important. For customers like the United Kingdom, of course, we must provide the best products in the world." Rock subdivided customers In other words, it is to watch people order dishes.

Morris was greatly shocked. The Rock in his impression was not like this.

Rock's image in southern Africa has always been positive, tough externally and friendly internally, which is indisputable.

Even in business, the image of the Locke family is very positive, especially in terms of benefits, which are much better than the federal government.

Strictly speaking, the job of federal government employee is not very attractive to southern Africans.

It’s not that the welfare benefits of the federal government are not good, but that they are subject to too many restrictions and constraints. For example, during the World Wars, the overtime work of the federal government ranks high in southern Africa. Although there are overtime pay for overtime work, for most southern For Africans, that little overtime pay is really dispensable.

Given the choice, the vast majority of federal government employees would choose not to work overtime at all.

The Nyasaland Company under Roque's name also worked overtime, but overtime was voluntary.

Overtime by the federal government is mandatory, not optional.

"For Russia, we'd better have some reservations." Morris is very vigilant about Russia. Don't look at the bearded man who loves peace at every turn. Russia is actually a country full of expansion.

Russia developed from the Principality of Moscow, with an initial area of ​​only 1300 square kilometers. After the crazy expansion of successive tsars, Russia came into being.

In the era of imperial Russia, Russia was not expanding all the time. Even if the land area reached 2000 million square kilometers, it was not enough, which eventually caused the collective dissatisfaction of European countries. That's why the Ottoman Empire united with Britain and France in the 9th Russo-Turkish War. Beat up.

Until the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, Russia was still restless.

So Britain united with Japan and beat Russia again in the Far East, and Russia became honest.

To be honest, it was not because of the sex change, but because I lost face in the Russo-Japanese War, couldn't hold my head up in front of the big powers, and my own problems became more and more serious, so I had to stop.

After the fall of Imperial Russia, Russia finally settled down for 20 years.

This is not because the moral level has been greatly improved, but because Russia is rejected by the international alliance and cannot integrate into the mainstream society at all, so it can only be forced to be confined in the cold Arctic Circle.

The League of Nations has encircled Russia for 20 years, and now it can no longer be encircled. After World War II, Russia's international status has rapidly improved, and it is about to surpass Britain and France, and tie up with southern Africa and the United States.

If you continue to trade with Russia at this time, it will be an enemy to put it bluntly.

"We can't stop trade with Russia. That will only force Russia to develop itself. We have to meet Russia's needs, so as to produce a greenhouse effect." Rock wants to boil frogs in warm water. It doesn't matter if the Russians don't have money, so they can exchange resources .

Russia owes southern Africa a lot of money.

If the trade is suspended now, what if the Russians refuse to pay back their debts?
Southern Africa cannot follow the example of Britain in launching wars because of debt problems.

As for the technical level of Russia——

In his previous life, Rock remembered that Russia's technological level was ridiculed by many people. Stupid and thick is synonymous with Russian products.

This is definitely prejudice, even slander.

Russia's technical level is very good, and it can even be described as magical.

In another space-time, the United States snatched von Braun and Germany's information on V-series rockets. The United States also has fierce men like Robert Goddard, but the first human to enter space was a Russian.

Although the Americans later claimed to have completed the manned moon landing, many people doubted whether it was really racing on the moon as the Americans claimed.

Even if you come first, you are running too fast, a speed that is completely illogical.

"What about the United States?" Morris made another old habit, and when he was with Rock, it seemed that he became unable to use his brain.

"For American companies, we should drown them with a large number of cheap and high-quality products. After we get the market, we have the final say on what to do." Rock used his own way to deal with his own body.

This is how the United States in another time and space won the first place in Blue Star.

Rock now wants to go the way of the United States, leaving the United States with nowhere to go.
