Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2655 Industry Doomsday
Being able to defeat Winston in the election, Attlee naturally has his advantages.

Southern Africa and the United Kingdom are allies, but they are also competitors. Attlee has to face not only the competition from his allies, but also the counterattack from the domestic Conservative Party.

Attlee is a pragmatic person, and the primary and secondary contradictions are very clear. When the strength of the United Kingdom is rapidly weakening, let alone southern Africa, the United Kingdom does not have an advantage compared with the United States and Russia. At this time, stabilizing the domestic market will become Top priority.

From another perspective, Attlee's concession is actually a continuation of the British strategic contraction.

After the Second Boer War, the British national policy shifted from strategic expansion to strategic contraction, and the whole process was passive.

Britain is certainly not willing to shrink strategically if it can.

However, the national strength of the United Kingdom no longer allows it to maintain its global hegemony, so it can only retreat step by step and shift its strategic focus to Europe.

In the current United Kingdom, even the continental balance policy has been unable to do what it wants, so Attlee is very smart to retreat southern Africa and the United States, while the United Kingdom retreats to the British Isles, watching the fire from the other side.

In Attlee's view, didn't Roque and Truman show great ambitions for Europe?
Then give the stage to Rock and Truman, and let southern Africa and the United States replace the United Kingdom to contain Russia. This is the best way to serve the interests of the United Kingdom.

This is the biggest difference between Winston and Attlee.

Winston was born in the traditional British aristocratic class, while Attlee was born in a middle-class family.

Attlee received modern education all the way, became a lawyer after graduating from Oxford University College, completed the leap from ordinary people to elites, and then joined the Independent Labor Party to understand the sufferings of the people and what the British need most.

Winston is a top aristocrat. He has received elite education since he was a child, not to mention being raised in a deep palace. After all, there is an insurmountable class gap with the common people, so Winston knows what Britain needs.

It is easy to give up the outlet of the Black Sea to the Russians, but it is difficult to take it back.

When Winston was prime minister, he could not stay in Rock's private residence for too long because he wanted to avoid suspicion.

Now that Winston was out of office, no one would make irresponsible remarks when he stayed at Rock's place at night, so Rock called Stoudemire to accompany him at night and held a small welcome dinner for Winston.

The scale is really small, except for Rock and Winston, Stoudemire is the only guest.

Stoudemire and Winston are also old friends, and there is nothing taboo about speaking, but they are always ridiculed.

"How did you lose to that guy from the Labor Party? That guy looks worthless!" Stoudemire laughed.

Attlee's slogan is still very provocative, but unfortunately the possibility of realization is unlikely.

Britain's current national strength is limited, so it has to make trade-offs on many issues.

Attlee chose Minsheng.

If we want to focus on people's livelihood, we must ignore national defense construction, and if we do not do it well, more than half of the Royal Navy will be abolished.

But once the Royal Navy is abolished, Britain's control over overseas colonies will plummet, which seems to have more serious consequences for Britain.

"Heh—" Winston looked at Rock and sneered speechlessly.

Rock is even more speechless, what does it have to do with me when you talk about yours?

It really does matter.

Southern Africa has set a very bad example for other countries in the world on many issues.

Like Roosevelt, Attlee was in many ways inspired by southern Africa.

Roosevelt fully referred to the experience of dealing with the economic crisis in southern Africa and led the United States successfully out of the Great Depression.

What Attlee wants to learn is to build a welfare society, and in this regard, southern Africa is also at the forefront of countries in the world.

According to the division of scholars, the welfare model in southern Africa is a surplus type, which is characterized by the low social assistance standards implemented by the state, only guaranteeing the most basic survival of the poor, and implementing strict regulations on the recipients of assistance.

Attlee’s personal governance program goes a step further than that of southern Africa. He believes that poverty is mainly the responsibility of the state or society. Therefore, during this period, the state’s assistance standards for the poor should be relatively standardized, reasonable, and even generous. In order to maintain the basic survival of the poor, their personal dignity must be maintained as much as possible.

The advantages and disadvantages of the two models will not be discussed here. Attlee’s model seems to be more humane than that of southern Africa. If it can be promoted, it may cause the country’s finances to be overwhelmed and welfare dependence to grow.

"Not only the social welfare system, but the Labor Party is also promoting nationalization, focusing on finance, resources, transportation, steel, etc." Every time Winston said a word, Stoudemire's face turned ugly.

And that is in the UK.

If Attlee became the prime minister in southern Africa, Stoudemire would probably have the intention of killing Attlee.

Each of the industries that Winston mentioned just now hit Stoudemire's heart heavily, and all of them are the core industries of the Rhodes family.

"It's unlikely—" Rock was surprised, not knowing how Attlee should proceed.

After the end of the First World War, southern Africa also began to promote nationalization, with remarkable results, and the federal governments at all levels benefited a lot.

With money, more investment can be made.

The more projects you invest in, the more profits you get. This is a perfect positive cycle. At present, most of the industries of the three major families of Locke, Rhodes, and Matilda basically have the shares of the federal government.

Of course, this was only possible on the premise that Rock voluntarily made concessions.

Stoudemire and Henry were also influenced by Rock, so they accepted the capital injection from the federal government.

Attlee is not a capitalist, he is the leader of the Labor Party. If he has a lot of money, how can he lead the tens of millions of working class in Britain.

"It may be impossible. I don't know. What I know is that the Prime Minister and his Labor Party have offended all members of the House of Lords." Winston remembered Rock's words during the Tehran meeting, with a strange expression on his face.

During the Tehran Conference, at a time when the French and Italian Communist Internationals were gaining the upper hand, Winston expressed deep concern about this.

If France and Italy also become working-class states, the situation will collapse completely.

Rock's opinion was exactly the opposite of Winston's.

The Communist International organizations in these European countries have no enthusiasm and inexperience, and they don't know how to manage a country at all.

So Rock's suggestion to Winston at the time was that it was the mule or the horse that came out for a walk, and when this wave of craze passed, all countries would naturally return to the right track.

It is actually very simple to defeat Attlee, as long as Attlee is the prime minister, Winston and the Conservative Party have a solution.

If you can't solve the problem, can you still not solve the person who raised the problem?

To govern, Attlee needs money in every aspect. Without the cooperation of the Conservative Party and the House of Lords, Attlee cannot take a step forward.

"Then kill him, what are you waiting for?" Xiao Si was simple and rude.

Or it's not a big deal to watch the excitement.

Americans will kill a president to sacrifice to heaven if they are unhappy, and the British once sent the king to the guillotine.

Winston looked at Stoudemire like he was looking at an idiot.

Killing Attlee is not only meaningless, but also completes Attlee's image in the hearts of the British, and will make Attlee forever remembered by the British.

Only by destroying Attlee's reputation will the British people abandon the Labor Party forever and regain the Prime Minister's throne.

Stoudemire is a good hand in business.

Politically as naive as Attlee.

"People who are in their tens of years, don't beat and kill at every turn." Rock didn't dislike Stoudemire's way, he would do it like this, Rock had died hundreds of times before he knew it.

Rock's prestige in southern Africa is much higher than Attlee's in England, and he belongs to the kind of lonely invincible.

Regardless of the fact that Roque is now in his 60s, as long as Roque decides to continue running for the election, no one can shake Roque's dominant position.

If it is so strong, the best way is indeed to destroy it physically.

"How is the alliance going?" Stoudemire actually didn't care about the life and death of the British, but only cared about his own business.

Rock looked impressive.

I've been so busy these days, Rock didn't think about it at all.

After all, it is old, and memory loss is normal.

Stoudemire is not angry, he believes that Rock has a way to solve this problem.

In Stoudemire's view, Rock is God.

It was actually not appropriate for Rock to come forward directly, so Rock still asked Alvin to come forward to find out what the Russians said.

Alvin couldn't see the beard, so he went to Molotov.

Alvin also carried a baron title on his back, and was Rock's son, so he met Molotov very smoothly.

"I heard that you found a diamond mine in Eastern Siberia?" Alvin only got 5 minutes, so he must hurry up.

As the People's Foreign Affairs Commissioner, Molotov was busy with affairs, and he was willing to see Alvin for Rock's sake.

"How do you know?" Molotov's face was ugly.

Not long after the diamond mine was discovered, Molotov didn't know much about the situation, but Alvin, the intelligence chief of Brad's office, took the initiative to find him.

This fully demonstrates the capabilities of Brad's office.

It really lives up to its reputation.

"You know, all the diamonds in the world belong to the Rhodes family in southern Africa." Alvin's words were not very polite, at least the diamonds in Russia did not belong to Stoudemire.

"Oh, it won't be soon—" Molotov didn't deny it, and was still wondering which link had the problem.

"Do you know how to mine diamonds? Do you know how to cut diamonds? Do you know how to sell diamonds to customers?" Alvin's series of questions left Molotov speechless.

Everything else is fine.

The Russians are really not good at selling diamonds to customers.

The key point is that in Russia, there are not many people capable of consuming diamonds, and this is precisely what the Rhodes family is best at.

"If you are willing to hand over the diamond mine to the Rhodes family, then the Russian government can fully enjoy the profits from diamond sales." Alvin is generous, and it is rare for him to make money with his mouth.

"That's impossible." Molotov firmly refused.

How to mine, how to process, who do you look down on? The Russians' talent in art is not to mention extraordinary, it can be said that no one can match it.

Think about the ingenious Russian eggs and the magnificent buildings in Moscow, you know that the Russian aesthetic is online.

"Well, I'm just reminding you that it would be a pity if a giant diamond mine is discovered but you can't get any benefits from it." Alvin made another plan.

"You want to obtain the right to operate the diamond mine and continue to maintain the monopoly profits in the diamond industry-don't dream, everything is over." Molotov is not threatened, as long as the diamonds of the Rhodes family can be sold , Russian diamonds can also be sold at a good price.

It really doesn't work, the Rhodes family's diamonds sell for [-] rand per carat, and the Russian ones sell for [-], and no one wants them!
Anyway, they were all dug out of the ground, and they were essentially stones. The Rhodes family had been brainwashing them for decades, and they might end up taking advantage of the Russians.

"Oh, how is it possible, this incident hasn't happened yet, it's far from being over." Alvin said grandly, Alvin really didn't like the little money to buy diamonds.

The joint operation is just a test. Rock wants to see how far the Russians have swelled and whether they can be saved.

Russia has no rand reserves, and the bearded man does not want to use gold to pay, so during the World War, southern Africa and Russia agreed on a barter transaction method.

Specifically, it is to exchange Russian resources for assistance from southern Africa.

Russia is rich in resources, but they can either be spread on the ground or bought underground, and they need investment to realize them.

The original agreement between Southern Africa and Russia was that the construction would be funded by Southern Africa and managed by Southern African enterprises. After the Federal Government of Southern Africa recovers all the principal and profits, the Russian government can get a lot of high-quality enterprises in vain. .

Now, although the bearded man didn't deny it, he seemed to be delaying and delaying, and he refused to start work, which made Rock very unhappy.

"Do you know how many diamond reserves there are in the Mir Mine?" Molotov realized something was wrong as soon as he spoke.

Alvin smiled meaningfully.

Is the diamond mine in Mir?

Although Alvin didn't know where Mir was, someone inside Brad must know.

"No matter how many there are, if you think that owning a diamond mine can compete with the Rhodes family for the market, then you are wrong—" Alvin really didn't know that he even had the name "Mir" just today. I heard that before Brad's office could only confirm that the location of the mine was in Eastern Siberia.

The area of ​​Eastern Siberia is really too large, with a total area of ​​412 million square kilometers. Finding a diamond mine in such a large area is tantamount to nonsense.

It usually takes some luck to discover this kind of mine.

Just like the farmer in the Transvaal, he could come up with a piece of naturally formed dog's head gold with a random kick while walking, so there was the world-famous Rand mining area.

"Try it!" Molotov said harshly, don't underestimate the determination of the Russians.

The last underestimated one just committed suicide not long ago.

"No need to try, I can tell you the process right now—" Alvin is full of confidence. In terms of capital, Southern Africa is really not afraid of others: "—I can guarantee that when the first Russian diamond appears on the market , is the end of the industry.”
