Under normal circumstances, it would have been impossible for Germany, which suffered such heavy losses in World War I, to regain its strength and initiate World War II in such a short period of time.
In August this year, the German mark fell to 1 million from the previous 4.2 to the US dollar, and by November it had fallen to 4.2 trillion. The German economy has completely collapsed, even if Germany is willing to accept the "Dawes Plan" or the "Balfour Plan"
, it may take several years before Germany officially enters the repayment process.
"The United States is a robber country composed of thieves and traitors. Do not trust the United States at any time." Adelaide's description of the United States is spot on. The United States is trying to steal world leadership from the British Empire. This does not need to be reminded by the United States. Adelaide
We also know the dangers of the United States.
On the coffee table next to Adelaide, there is a copy of The Times that has just been published. The headline on the front page is "Don't forget the American influenza pandemic."
As for the influenza that broke out at the end of the World War, there is no formal definition yet. The United States insists that the influenza broke out from Spain, so it keeps repeating the concept of "Spanish Flu" on various occasions in an attempt to form a fait accompli.
The Spaniards did not agree with this statement. The Times publicly broke the news shortly after the pandemic broke out. The first patient appeared in a U.S. military camp in Kansas. Later, the pandemic came to Europe with the large-scale landing of U.S. troops in France.
, and then swept the world, so almost all European countries, including Spain, believed that the pandemic should be more appropriately called the "American Flu".
On this issue, the integrity shown by The Times is heartbreaking. Every once in a while, The Times will remind readers not to forget the harm caused by the American influenza pandemic to the world.
The U.S. government has repeatedly opposed the Times' reporting, but to no avail. The Times has always been known for its "fairness, freedom, and independence" and will not accept lobbying from any country or group on this issue.
"The plan proposed by C.G. Dawes has great hidden dangers and cannot completely solve Germany's problems. Once Germany regains its strength, the world war will break out again-" Rock is not pretending to be a magician. The "Dawes Plan" has just been
When it was proposed, Clemenceau and Foch loudly stated on many different occasions that France would rather not pay reparations than give the Germans a chance to rise again.
There are still smart people in France, but it is a pity that the smart people have retreated to the background and their influence is not as good as before. The current French President Alexandre Millerand and Prime Minister Raymond Poincaré have both experienced the world war, but they have no influence on France.
Germany's understanding is not sufficient.
Perhaps Alexander Millerand and Raymond Poincaré believe that even if Germany provokes another world war, the Justice League can still defeat Germany just like the last world war.
The reality in France has also determined that Alexander Millerand and Raymond Poincaré have an increasing demand for reparations from Germany. Even if Germany rises again, it will be in the future. The current situation in France, if there is no reparations from Germany,
, France will remain sluggish.
In short, it is all kinds of poisonous drinks to quench thirst.
"Even if the world war breaks out again, it will not have much impact on us in southern Africa." Ade has completely become a southern African. In the past, Ade would probably say: This will not have much impact on our British Empire.
.
"Another world war will not do us any good -" Luo Ke didn't mean what he said, and some words still couldn't be said too straightforwardly.
During the First World War, Southern Africa made a lot of profits. Not only did it greatly increase its presence in Europe, but it also successfully included Southwest Africa, Tanganyika and the two river basins. Southern Africa also became Europe's
Creditor, before the outbreak of the world war, I am afraid that even Rock did not think of this.
Another world war would certainly be beneficial to Southern Africa. Southern Africa is now qualified to fully participate in world affairs, but it does not yet have the right to decide. The key roles are still played by Britain and France.
If it happens again, Britain's voice will continue to be weakened, and France will directly lose its voice. This part of the voice is what Roque seeks.
This is the reason why Rock left London. Although Rock has not communicated with American capitalists and politicians on this issue, he has been close friends for a long time.
Don’t the Americans want to give blood to the Germans? Go ahead and build a wall. Let’s see who wins in the end.
"Come on, Locke, can you be honest with us two old guys? If there's another world war, I'm afraid you will be very happy." Kitchina couldn't stand Locke's pretentiousness, and Ade laughed without saying a word.
They are all mature with age.
In the evening, Roque stayed at the Governor's Mansion for dinner as usual. Kitchina's fishing skills have improved greatly recently. He no longer has to buy fish from the market to comfort himself. He couldn't finish the fish he caught, so he dug a pond in the Governor's Mansion to raise them.
With.
Rock boasted about Kitchinna's fishing skills in various ways, which made Kitchinna very excited. He immediately put Rock's pretentiousness behind him and enjoyed the meal to the fullest.
The next day Roque appeared at the Palace of Justice to report to Philip the results of his European trip.
"It would be a shame if the French agreed." Philip was very familiar with the grievances between France and Germany.
"In order to better develop Southern Africa, let's formulate a five-year plan -" Roque knows the shortcomings of democratic politics and does not want to see Southern Africa repeat the same mistakes.
The biggest drawback of democratic politics is that there is no continuity in policies. Take Southern Africa as an example. Elections held every five years determine that leaders in Southern Africa will change frequently. Now it seems that the problem is not serious. From Ade to Philip,
The transfer of power was smooth, and there was no situation where orders were changed overnight. However, it is difficult to say if time passes. Look at France now. A prime minister will be changed in a few months. God will not be able to save France.
The biggest advantage in southern Africa now is that the Liberal Party is the dominant party. There is currently no second political party that can compete with the Liberal Party. This at least ensures that the prime ministers are all from the Liberal Party, and policy continuity is good.
However, the future is uncertain. After Stoudemire became the governor of the Cape, he is carrying out drastic reforms to the Progressive Party. Cape people are regaining confidence in the Progressive Party, which is a huge threat to the Liberal Party.
At the same time, the Nyasaland Party is also threatening the Liberal Party. Although the Nyasaland Party is based in Nyasaland, its influence has actually already broken through Nyasaland and has taken root in all states in southern Africa. Basically, as long as there are
Wherever there are Chinese people, there is the Nyasaland Party.
In the recent parliamentary reelection, the Nyasaland Party won 25 seats and became the second largest party in the Southern African Parliament. Although the relationship between the Nyasaland Party and the Liberal Party is very good and they are currently in lockstep, it is difficult to predict the future.
"What do you mean?" Philip was a little sensitive to the "five years" time limit.
The term of prime minister in Southern Africa is five years.
"In order to ensure the continuity of the policy, we need to formulate a plan and then implement it unswervingly, so that southern Africa will have better development." Roque's trip to Europe touched a lot, and southern Africa is still on the rise.
, we cannot rest on our laurels like Britain and France.
Perhaps for many southern African officials, it is already a miracle that southern Africa has achieved the current results. It is impossible to do better, so they can take a proper rest.
But other countries did not rest. The Germans were working hard and the Americans were watching eagerly. Southern Africa had no reason to slack off. Since Southern Africa no longer had a goal, Roque would try to find a way to set a goal for Southern Africa.
"If you are dissatisfied with Da Gama Vasco, then just change the mayor -" Philip's situation is also small, and these two things can be connected together.
It is understandable, after all, Philip does not know the power of the five-year plan.
"They are two different things. The pollution caused by the textile group is indeed very serious. It is normal for the Johannesburg city government to want to move away. Many of our officials have now begun to rest on their laurels and sleep on their laurels. We need to use higher requirements to spur them to move forward.
"Rock is really not so narrow-minded.
Just past 1921, Southern Africa had a population of 40 million, and its gross national product exceeded 14 billion rand for the first time, which was similar to the US$73.6 billion. The US population in 1921 exceeded 110 million. The contrast is very stark.
Of course, this problem cannot be calculated in this way. After all, the African-American workers employed by Southern African companies are not included in the total population of Southern Africa, so this part of the data is overflow.
Another data is that the UK's gross national product in 1921 was 4.9 billion pounds, a decrease of nearly 18% compared with the previous year.
For most southern African officials, this figure is already very satisfactory.
Roque is also very satisfied, but unlike most southern African officials, Roque knows that southern Africa still has potential and can be further explored, so Roque proposed a five-year plan.
"What are you going to do?" Philip still attaches great importance to Roque's suggestion. To put it bluntly, Roque is willing to come to Philip to give Phillip face, otherwise Roque can completely bypass Philip to implement this plan.
Don't forget that the Speaker of the Southern African Congress is Buck. Even if Philip disagrees, Roque can achieve his goal through Congress.
"On the basis of this year, the average annual economic growth rate will increase by more than 10 percent. We will produce more and more advanced goods, strive to seize the Commonwealth market, and at the same time dump them all over the world to prepare for the next world war.
Be prepared, the "Contract of Versailles" did not bring peace to the world, and wars will still break out frequently in the next twenty or even fifty years." Roque is not an alarmist. Ten percent is actually not too much. The world
During the war, the economic growth rate in southern Africa was above 20%.
