There are also trade unions in Southern Africa, but the trade unions in Southern Africa are fundamentally different from those in the United Kingdom and the United States. This has been explained many times.
On November 5, Ramsay Macdonald delivered a public speech in the British House of Commons, calling on the British government to impose appropriate restrictions on Southern Africa to protect British local companies from the influence of Southern African companies.
"In the Second Boer War, the British Empire spent a total of 220 million pounds. Gentlemen, please note that this is 220 million pounds in 1900, not 220 million pounds in 1923 - but what did the British Empire gain through the Boer War? No.
Talking about the gold from the Rand Gold Mine, from 1900 to now, the total value of gold we have received from Southern Africa has not reached 220 million pounds. We allowed Southern Africa autonomy, gave federal government loans and assistance to Southern Africa, and finally got
But it is competition that leaves no room for enterprises in Southern Africa - wake up, gentlemen, and face the threats we are facing. Southern Africa is replacing the British Empire's position in the Commonwealth. We cannot turn a blind eye -" Ramsay Mack
Donner was impassioned, and regardless of the fact that what he said was not true, his speech was indeed very inflammatory.
Ramsay Macdonald’s speech has not yet ended. The MPs are talking a lot. The smart MPs disagree, but most MPs are echoing.
These congressmen are not stupid. Of course, they also know that the current situation of the British Empire is not only due to competition in southern Africa. However, in recent times, targeting southern Africa is politically correct, and these congressmen are happy to go along with it.
"Ramsay Macdonald, don't be alarmist. Southern Africa is still part of the Commonwealth and has never been a threat to the British Empire." Winston couldn't help but say something fair for southern Africa, although attacking southern Africa now is
Politically correct, but Winston is an "independent thinker", so this character cannot be lost.
"Winston, I know you have a good relationship with Lord Nyasaland, but don't let your personal feelings affect your judgment. You should face up to the threat that Southern Africa poses to the British Empire. Without Southern Africa, we would be
The British Empire would not be in such a mess now. We now have to spend 1% of our fiscal revenue every year to repay loans to Southern Africa -" Ramsay Macdonald's words were still very seductive, and the parliamentarians discussed
One after another.
“Yes, we are the sovereign country in southern Africa, but now we have to use 1% of our annual income to repay the loan. This is too much——”
“We shouldn’t do this at all. Isn’t it right for southern Africa to feed back the British Empire?”
“It is precisely because of the British Empire that southern Africa exists today. Southern Africans should be grateful——”
It has to be said that British politicians not only have a tradition of blaming others, but also have a tradition of being scoundrels.
Looking at it this way, the Russians deserve it if they don’t pay back the money!
Evil people still need to be punished by evil people.
"Gentlemen, gentlemen, calm down -" Winston got a little anxious and shouted loudly, banging the table: "-we are not despicable Russians, and the value of southern Africa to our British Empire is not only
It’s just a loan. Think about the world war that just passed. Without the help of the Southern African Expeditionary Force, we would not have been able to defeat the Germans easily——"
“Oh, it turns out that we defeated the Germans very easily——”
“Winston, don’t forget that we sacrificed 1.1 million soldiers to defeat the Germans——”
“How could he forget? During the World War, he was the Prime Minister——”
Winston's words not only failed to calm down the MPs, but instead aroused cynicism from the MPs.
Don’t think that because Winston led Britain to win the World War, Winston will become a British hero.
Look at Kitchener, who was "sent" to southern Africa just after the World War.
Looking at Clemenceau again, he could not even become prime minister after the world war.
There are also Joffre and Haig. In any case, these two have no credit but hard work. Now they are both relegated to the sidelines. It is lucky that they have not been held accountable.
So Europeans are very "forgetful". Don't look at them talking about "gratitude" all day long. In fact, Europeans are the least "grateful" people in the world. If you want to help Europeans,
Then you must remember to "give kindness without repaying it", otherwise you will definitely regret it.
"Winston, I have not forgotten the contribution of southern Africa during the World War, but that does not mean that southern Africa is superior to us. The world war is everyone's war, including southern Africa. They are not
Not helping the British Empire, but saving themselves." Ramsay Macdonald was proud that he was in an invincible position on this issue.
"Ramsay, I want to remind you that the clouds of war are not far away. In the future, we will still need the help of southern Africa to face more complex international situations." Winston now also firmly believes that World War II will not happen soon.
It will definitely explode in the distant future.
“Hahahaha, Winston, it is impossible for war to break out again. At least our generation does not need to face the threat of war again.” Ramsay Macdonald is very optimistic, which also represents the mainstream thinking in Britain.
It has to be said that many times, the truth is indeed in the hands of a few people.
When the Treaty of Versailles was just signed, French Marshal Foch lamented that the so-called German surrender was nothing more than a twenty-year armistice.
Roark and Kitchener also insisted that Germany would not be willing to fail and would provoke another war in the future.
Winston thought so too. When various countries held a meeting in London to prepare for the launch of the "Dawes Plan", Winston reminded representatives of various countries to pay attention to this issue.
Unfortunately, except for Rock and Winston, no one else took the German threat seriously.
Perhaps some people are aware of this problem, but are unwilling to admit it. People prefer to believe that peace has arrived, just like Ramsay MacDonald who is as optimistic.
"If you think like this, you will definitely regret it in the future -" Winston was heartbroken. He didn't know what was happening to Britain now. He wanted to change the British Empire, but he was powerless.

"Whether I will regret the war in the future, I don't know yet. What I am sure of is that if I protect the threats in southern Africa, then I will not be able to face my conscience!" Ramsay McDonald spoke righteously and warmly.
Stone also doesn't know what his conscience is.
After a meeting, Winston was exhausted both mentally and physically.
In fact, we can’t blame others. Winston has no friends in the House of Commons. The Conservatives don’t like Winston. The Liberals have too much time to take care of themselves. The Labor Party regards Winston as the spokesperson of the interests of the aristocracy and southern Africa. Although this is correct, but
This is not consistent with what Winston imagined.
“Bastards, a bunch of bastards, that bastard will destroy our country, all of us are sinners——” After returning home, Winston was furious.
Clementina looked at Winston helplessly from the side. Counting the time, Clementina should soon go to the United States for a "vacation" with Winston's bodyguard.
This incident can be regarded as the biggest stain in Winston's life.
However, as the greatest British man in history, Winston still forgave Clementina very generously. This is also in line with the British national conditions. As a member of the British upper class, who has not ordered tidbits? No tidbits.
News is too embarrassing to meet people.
"Anything that happens in the House of Commons will be reported back to Southern Africa tonight. I can't imagine what Southern Africans will do once Philip and Locke find out about Ramsay Macdonald's speech in the House of Commons -
"Winston did not realize that a big green hat was approaching. He has been under too much pressure recently, and it is still a problem whether he can keep his position as a member of the House of Commons.
"My dear, what does that have to do with you? Even if southern Africans are dissatisfied, they will only hate Ramsay MacDonald." Clementine did not care about Ramsay MacDonald's speech.
To put it bluntly, the threat of Ramsay Macdonald was not really taken seriously.
This is normal. In the UK today, despite the rise in fame of Ramsay Macdonald and the Labor Party he led, in fact when most people mention Ramsay Macdonald, they still regard him as a person.
What a joke, no one thought Ramsay Macdonald would be the future Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
Let alone the British Prime Minister, many people may not believe that the Labor Party will win a resounding victory in this election.
They only want to believe what they want to believe.
"No, no, no, dear, you don't know. This time I went to Southern Africa, Southern Africans have openly expressed their dissatisfaction with the local government. If the Labor Party comes to power, it will only intensify the situation between the local government and the Southern African federal government.
When the time comes, none of us will be able to stay out of the conflict. The British Empire can no longer afford to lose southern Africa." Winston is still very sensible, and his time in southern Africa was not without gain.
.
"My dear, since they don't need you, why do you do this-" Clementina's eyes showed her worry for Winston, and the couple's love lasted for a night, and all the betrayals started from the initial tenderness.
start.
“I don’t care about Ramsay Macdonald or Stanley Baldwin, I care about the British Empire, the British Empire where I was born and raised——” Winston suddenly froze on the spot mid-sentence.
Clementina let out a long sigh and silently picked up the tea cup with dim eyes. She did not notice that Winston was leaning on the table, his body slowly slipping to the ground.
咚——
The sound of a body falling heavily to the ground finally woke up the absent-minded Clementina.
“God, dear, what’s wrong with you? Someone come quickly——” Clementina suddenly panicked.
Just the day before the general election, Winston was hospitalized due to illness.
