Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 847 Denial of the three companies

Although there are millions of Lee Enfields in the strategic warehouse, Rock will not send them away at once. The first batch of Lee Enfields to the mainland is 40, and the time is already March 1913. Next Every month, Nyasaland delivered one hundred thousand rifles to the War Ministry until the order was fulfilled.

At this time, the monthly output of rifles of the Nyasaland Military Industry Group had reached [-], and Matilda's factory went all out. The monthly output has also reached more than [-].

The sales of rifles are better, but the sales of general-purpose machine guns and automatic rifles are not so good. The order from the Ministry of the Army to the Nyasaland Military-Industrial Group does not include general-purpose machine guns and automatic rifles.

Rock is not in a hurry. As time goes by, the demand for automatic weapons in various countries will explode. The British Army currently only has a dozen machine guns in a division, and it will reach more than 500 in a few years. The Asaran Military Industry Group can meet the needs of countries for automatic weapons.

Military purchase orders are indeed very attractive, and the federal government is also salivating. At the end of March, some members of Congress proposed to take back the independent foreign trade rights of large enterprises in southern Africa. Profits stay with the federal government.

The member who proposed this motion, Edmund Gunter, is from Cape's Progressive Party, of Dutch origin, and once worked for the Cape Town Ocean Trading Company.

Before Rock established Nyasaland Ocean Trading Company, Cape Town Ocean Trading Company was the most powerful shipping company in southern Africa. At its peak, it owned more than 200 ocean-going cargo ships, and its business spread across Europe, America and the Far East. Rock first came to Cape Ton is to take the passenger ship of Cape Town Ocean Trading Company.

With the rise of Nyasaland Ocean Trading Company and Port Edward, the status of Cape Town Ocean Trading Company and Cape Town Port is declining year by year. Now Cape Town, like Durban, is gradually being marginalized. Waiting for the completion of Walvis Bay Port After that, it will completely replace Cape Town's position with Port Edward on the left and right.

"Mr. Gaunt, be rational. Let's continue discussing the issue of Walvis Bay." Philip didn't want to discuss this issue. The companies with the largest export volume in southern Africa, except Stoudemire's South African company, are all related to Rock and Henry , even because of the cross exchange of shares, Rock and Henry also have shares in the South African company, so there is no need to discuss this issue at all.

Although it seems that this proposal is very beneficial to southern Africa, if this proposal is passed, at least half of the 135 members of Congress will be replaced in a week.

Even if the term of office has not yet expired, you can voluntarily resign.

"In order to build the Walvis Bay Railway, we suffered heavy losses, and at least 1000 people died every month—" Edmund Gunter uttered nonsense.

"Shut up, where did you get the data? There are still 1000 people, why don't you say 1 people, that would be even more sensational!" Without Philip speaking, Irving, the chairman of the Liberal Party and the ruling party, immediately slapped the table.

"Be careful what you say, and be responsible for what you say, otherwise you will face a lawsuit—" Aiden said in a strange way. The South African company owns 20.00% of the shares of the Pacific Railway Company.

The Pacific Railway Company has never published data in this regard, and it doesn't matter what it says in private. It will definitely cause trouble if it is said in Congress, and the Pacific Railway Company also has shares of the federal government.

Barker didn't speak, just flipped through the documents in front of him without looking up. He was also elected as a member of the Liberal Party.

"We simply nationalize all private enterprises, so that all profits belong to the federal government." The words of Altman Brewster, a member of the Nyasaland Party, caused a burst of laughter. Nyasaland has the largest Private enterprise, this is totally booing.

"Unified purchase and sales will greatly increase the profits of the federal government, alleviate the financial crisis of the federal government, and can integrate resources in southern Africa to further increase the competitiveness of enterprises. Why can't you see so many benefits? What are you worried about? Or say , Are you serving the federal government, or are you serving private companies?" Edmund Gunter spoke righteously, and the laughter stopped immediately, and the congressmen looked at each other, wondering if Edmund Gunter had taken the wrong medicine.

Unified purchase and sales are of course good for the federal government, and everyone here knows it.

The problem is that this cannot be achieved at all, and the congressmen should indeed serve the federal government, but they do represent the interests of private companies, and everyone knows this well.

Originally, it was good for everyone to understand some things by themselves, and there was no need to put them on the table. Edmund Gunter's words were indeed politically correct, but they didn't have any effect.

"What the fuck are you doing, aren't you working for private business? You wouldn't have the opportunity to sit here and talk nonsense without the Cape Town Ocean Trading Company's campaign money. Everyone here is working for private business." Aiden is not welcome, Owen and Buck are both scumbags, and Aiden always charges forward.

"I'm not—" Jerry Moulton, a member of the People's Party of Orange, finally got a chance to speak. From the end of the Boer War to now, Orange has not had any enterprises with national influence. Bechuanaland, the worst state in Africa, has come from behind.

Bechuanaland Agricultural Company is also a very powerful enterprise now. The influence of this enterprise is not limited to Bechuanaland now. Bechuanaland Agricultural Company has a large number of industries in Orange, Cape and Natal.

"What the hell are you farting? Listen to your words. Are you on the side of the South African company or the federal government?" Edmund Gunter retorted. Others are afraid of the South African company. Edmund Gunter is not afraid. The Cape Town Ocean Trading Company has British capital and is not a purely local company in southern Africa.

"Shut up, debate is fine, if someone scolds again, I'm going to kick him out!" The blood vessels on Philip's forehead are throbbing, and even this member of Congress, the aunts who buy vegetables in the vegetable market are more gentle than them.

Aiden looked as if Philip was not scolding him. He sat down contentedly with his bow tie, looking left and right triumphantly.

Edmund Gaunt curled his lips, just like Don Quixote who charged towards the windmill, he straightened his neck and refused to give up.

"Mr. Gunter, unified purchasing and marketing is the most ideal state, but in fact it is impossible to achieve." Buck finally read the information in his hand, took off his glasses and calmed down.

Buck is a little older than Rock, but not a few years older. In just a few short years, Buck's hair has turned half gray, and his glasses have gradually thickened from the monocle to the bottom of the wine bottle. Members of Congress also have The troubles of congressmen are very disturbing.

"Why is it impossible? Is it because of the selfishness of private business owners?" Edmund Gunter finally found someone who was willing to communicate with him normally.

"No, no, sales, because of sales, Senator Gunter, including all of you, you should have more or less business, maybe on a large scale, maybe on a small scale, if the right to sell is given to the federal government, then Gunter Congressman, can you guarantee that the federal government can successfully sell the products produced by the enterprise?" Buck knew how to use power to overwhelm others, the minority obeys the majority, and everyone was calm and reasonable.

"Of course Senator Gunter can guarantee it, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a stupid proposal." Aiden made up his mind, just like in the business field, the South African company and Nyasaland Agricultural Company have an infinite tacit understanding.

"Rep. Barker, our southern African products are of high quality and low price, and are sufficiently competitive in the world market. Europe is on the brink of war. At this time, we should join forces to form a scale advantage to seize the European market. That's what the Americans do." Edmund Gunter is also justified, but he ignores the fact that the development of the United States also relies on the rise of private enterprises, just like southern Africa.

"The Americans can do business with the Germans, but we can't." Barker calmly said that the United States has both sides, but southern Africa has a natural position, which cannot be changed.

"Mr. Barker, Mr. Gunter means that the federal government will nationalize the sales rights, and then the Cape Town Ocean Shipping Company will be able to undertake the business of the federal government, so that a company that is on the verge of bankruptcy can be revived, and Cape Town can also recover. Prosperity in the past—” Altman half-smiles, companies that cannot adapt to the development of the times will be abandoned by the times sooner or later, and the South African company is also a legacy of the colonial era, and it is still full of vitality.

So in the final analysis, it is not a matter of market sales. The key to an enterprise is people.

"We can't spend our limited time discussing these meaningless issues. Why don't we vote directly—" Owen took the initiative to end this topic, and decided the result in a democratic way.

"Will there be any changes in the results of the vote?" Edmund Gunter hesitated.

"Mr. Gaunt, what do you mean? Are you questioning the rights of Congress?" Philip immediately took the hat off, daring to deny the fairness of democracy.

"I'm not—" Edmund Gaunt realized that he had made a big mistake.

"Yes, that's right, the result of the vote will not change. Senator Gaunt means that Congress is an evil organization controlled by a few people—" Aiden was about to add insult to injury, but he was also glared at by Philip.

"I do not have--"

"Let's just dissolve the Congress, let Senator Gunter be the king, and implement the monarchy in southern Africa—" Altman was not surprised and kept dying.

"Don't talk nonsense—" Edmund Gaunt was taken aback. There is a king in southern Africa, King George V of England.

"Shut up, start voting now." Philip decisively stopped, and if it continues, the Congress will be almost dissolved.
