During the World War, the 105th Division can also be regarded as a meritorious unit. It made many military exploits during the European War. After the war, it participated in the intervention of the Allied Powers against the new Russian government. This time, the 105th Division, which lost the support of southern Africa, was finally unsustainable and was
After being crippled, the staff was not reinstated, but was immediately disbanded.
Four Lee Enfields, two pistols, a machete, and a few scattered rands were all the belongings of these four people.
Modern army combat is indeed a bit cruel. Due to calculated calculations and unintentional calculations, all four people were killed in the shortest time, without any ability to resist.
The rain was pouring down, and the National Guard members on duty at the other two points heard the gunshots and rushed to reinforce them. When they saw the four corpses, they looked at Su Yuankai and Su Taihang with envy in their eyes.
In southern Africa, there are rewards for directly killing criminals who pose huge security risks, and the rewards are very generous.
After dawn, the police boat took away all four bodies, and Su Town returned to its former peace.
Entering December, it is midsummer in southern Africa, Europe is already covered in ice and snow, but southern Africa is still as warm as spring.
It has been less than a month since Adelaide stepped down, and Roque has stayed in Pretoria for most of the time. National Guardsmen and military police from all over the country are on duty in the streets to ensure that no major accidents will occur during the handover of the Prime Minister.
The shooting of Winston's movie has been successfully started. Winston himself serves as the chief director and the executive director is Louis Betsy, who shot "Escape from the Tiger". Another movie shot by Louis Betsy, "Turn the Tide" is currently being screened.
"Turn the Tide" describes that in the First Battle of the Marne, a unit of the Southern African Expeditionary Force inserted itself between the German First Army and the Fifth Army, separating the First Army and the Fifth Army to cooperate with the French army.
The story of forcing the German army back.
In the movie "Turn the Tide", Louis Betsy once again used the description technique in "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth", making extensive use of the slowness of the French troops and the stupidity of the German troops to contrast the strength and bravery of the Southern African Expeditionary Force.
Some of the scenes in this movie were shot in Paris. In order to show the panic of the Parisians when German troops were approaching the city, in one scene, Louis Betsy used nearly 2,000 extras.
Some of the actors in the movie are soldiers from the Southern African Expeditionary Force who participated in the World War. These witnesses of the World War have an unforgettable understanding of the World War. This also adds more gimmicks to "Turn the Tide" and the humorous and hilarious "
Different from "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth", "Turn the Tide" is real and profound, vividly reflecting the outstanding performance of the Southern African Expeditionary Force in the European War. It is also a profound patriotic education for the southern African citizens who are far away from the war.
"The movie you made exaggerates the Southern African Expeditionary Force too much. The Allies not only made great contributions to the Southern African Expeditionary Force, but also the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, the Canadian Army, and even the French Army." Winston just watched it.
"Turn the Tide" once again questions Rock's purpose.
"The movie I made does not praise the Southern African Expeditionary Force. How can I be expected to praise the Germans?" Roark has a good reason. The rising box office seems to mean that the praise of the Southern African Expeditionary Force is not enough.
After being screened for less than half a year, "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth" finally earned a box office of 1.5 million rand in southern Africa, and the Nyasaland Film Studio sold more than 4,000 copies alone.
"Escape from the Tiger's Mouth" is not only popular in southern Africa, it is also popular in the United Kingdom, France, and even Germany. Before the release of "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth", there were only 3 cinemas in the city of Paris. Now it has increased to 12, even across the ocean.
In the United States, "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth" also set off a movie-watching frenzy, with theaters filming from morning to night, and the theaters were full.
Winston groaned and said nothing. Now Winston gradually understood what Rock said, and the movie was also serving politics.
"If you want, you can try it in your movie, and maybe it will be popular too." Rock responded to others in his own way. Words are useless, but it depends on actual actions.
"Dream! Why should the movie I made have to promote France?" Winston immediately stood firm, no one is a **.
Rock smiled and said nothing. He understood the truth. Don't criticize anyone. If the Australians and Canadians are dissatisfied, they can also take pictures themselves.
"Suddenly I found that being the Prime Minister in Southern Africa is quite interesting -" Winston suddenly said without thinking.
Rock was surprised. Could it be that Winston wanted to run for Prime Minister of Southern Africa?
This is really not possible. After all, it is impossible for Winston to return to British politics in a short time. Southern Africa——
It is said that although Southern Africa is not as rich as Britain, its development prospects are obviously better than those of the declining British Empire. It is not surprising that Winston has this idea.
Once you have tasted the taste of power, it is indeed difficult to let go.
"If you are the Prime Minister of Southern Africa, how do you balance the relationship between Southern Africa and London?" Roque was very interested. This is not an exam. Roque is prepared to have sex for nothing.
Free prostitution is really ubiquitous. When companies recruit people, they often ask questions that they will encounter in actual work. In fact, this is standard free prostitution. Many people rack their brains to come up with solutions.
You are complacent, but you don’t know that other companies don’t want to recruit people at all, but want your ideas.
It's not like copying or borrowing for reference. How can it be described as free prostitution?
"This relationship is very good now. London is considering restoring the gold standard system. What do you think?" Winston is not stupid. This is also a standard free prostitution.
During the World War, London abandoned the gold standard. At that time, only the United States and southern Africa still adhered to the gold standard.
After the world war, London found that its position as a financial center was on shaky ground, so it had to consider restoring the gold standard system and reshaping the international status of the pound.
This goal seems unrealistic now. The world war caused heavy losses to London. All the loans to the Russian Empire were not recovered and the money was lost. The loans to France and Italy were also ignored and never repaid.
It cannot be said that France and Italy did not repay, but they did not have the money. After the end of the world war, the European economy did not recover as quickly as people imagined, but fell into a sluggish and long-term slump, which has continued until now and has triggered an economic crisis.
This caused changes in cabinets in France and the UK, and it was even worse in Italy. Not long ago, Mussolini, who participated in the world war, formed the "Italian National Party" and served as the leader of the party, commanding the party's military organization "Black Shirts".
Army" marched into Rome in an attempt to launch a riot and seize power.
No matter how bad the historical evaluation is, Mussolini still has some abilities. Before the outbreak of the world war, Mussolini served as the editor-in-chief of the Socialist Party organ "Vorantes". On the eve of the world war, Mussolini left the Socialist Party and founded "Italian People's Daily".
", and personally served as the editor-in-chief. Judging from this resume, Mussolini was also very good at writing work, and his ability to confuse people was quite good.
It was precisely because of his superb writing skills that Mussolini's political slogans were cheered by Italians. Italy's post-war economic downturn also paved the way for Mussolini's rise to power.
Mussolini is now widely considered the savior of Italy.
Roque knew what it was. When Roque saw the name Mussolini, he smelled the smell of World War II.
"How can I see it - restoring the gold standard is a good thing, but the output of the Rand Gold Mine is decreasing year by year, and the gold output is getting less and less. We must be prepared for the gradual depletion of the Rand Gold Mine." Rock informed Winston.
As a precautionary measure, one of the conditions for the establishment of the federal government in Southern Africa is that Britain can obtain gold from the Rand Mine to ensure London's status as a financial center.
Now it is not only London that needs the gold from the Rand Mine, but also the federal government of Southern Africa. During the World War, although the rand was still linked to gold, the gold content was constantly decreasing. Before the world war, one rand could be exchanged for 7.23 grams of gold.
Now it can only be exchanged for 1.5 grams.
Even so, the status of the rand is still rising and its scope of application is constantly expanding, which has posed a certain threat to the pound's international currency status.
The gold standard system that Britain wants to restore is different from the gold standard system implemented before the world war.
The British gold standard system is not a gold standard in the complete sense. It is essentially an incomplete gold standard. This system is called the gold bullion standard.
The characteristic of the gold nugget standard system is that gold coins are still used as the standard currency, but gold coins are no longer circulated and used in the market. Instead, banknotes with a certain gold content are used instead of gold coins.
At this time, the banknotes cannot be freely exchanged for gold coins, but when it comes to international payments or industrial gold, banknotes can be exchanged for gold nuggets at banks according to the prescribed limit.
In 1925, the United Kingdom in another time and space stipulated that at least 400 ounces should be exchanged at a time, which was approximately worth 1,700 pounds.
400 ounces is about 12,400 grams. When converted, one pound can be exchanged for about 7.3 grams of gold, which is similar to the exchange ratio before the world war.
The idea of the gold bullion standard was good, but London soon discovered that it was unable to maintain this exchange ratio. So not long after its implementation, the British government was forced to abandon the gold bullion standard. Later, due to the need for exchange controls, the British government was forced to abandon the gold bullion standard.
On December 18, 1946, the gold content of the pound was still 3.58134 grams.
At that time, London's status as the world's financial center had been replaced by New York, and the British Empire was no longer glorious.
"The gold is running out? No, no, no, this is absolutely not possible." Winston's face turned pale. Winston knew very well what the gold from the Rand Mine meant to London.
Rock was completely speechless. Rock and Winston did not decide how much gold reserves there were. If you say no, it won’t do. You think you are God.
ps: It’s September in a blink of an eye, time flies so fast——
