1509 Sick Seedlings

Although there are no Africans in southern Africa, there are in the Commonwealth.

It's not just the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and even Scotland and Wales have African expeditioners on the list that has been submitted.

Yes, although Scotland and Wales are part of the United Kingdom, they sent separate teams to participate in the Commonwealth Games. A total of 11 countries participated in the first Commonwealth Games. By the 21st century, this number will become 59.

In the 21st century, there are only more than 190 countries in the world.

"I'm also very curious. I was in Pretoria during this time and found that most of the workers building sports venues are Africans. Africans have made huge contributions to the rise of southern Africa, but why don't you give them dues?

Are there any benefits?" Winston's "shit-stirring" attribute is showing up again, and he won't feel comfortable unless he brings some private goods.

Not necessarily. This is just like Roque's silence about the problems of Africans, which is actually hypocrisy.

"Yes, those workers are paid, and they are not working for free." Rock avoided the important point and did not answer Winston's question directly.

"You know what I'm talking about——" Winston said dissatisfied.

"Come on, little guy. This is a matter for our southern African federal government. It's not your turn, as a minister, to take care of it." Kitchener was not polite, and Winston was speechless.

Winston, who was born in 1874, is now in his early 50s. Because he led Britain to win the World War, Winston is still very respected in Britain.

But in front of Kitchener, Winston's qualifications were just a cloud.

In today's British Empire, George V is not qualified to call Winston "little guy", but Kitchener is.

When Kitchener led the British Expeditionary Force to conquer the Boers, Winston was still a fledgling military reporter.

As for the relationship between the Southern African Federal Government and the British Government, Kitchener is still the Governor-General of the Southern African Federal Government and is fully qualified to represent the Southern African Federal Government.

"Winston, things will always change -" Rock didn't want to say too much about this issue. British people think they are smart and often suffer the consequences.

The cleverness of the British is all petty. It may seem that they are proficient in playing the Continental Balance game, but in fact there are many hidden dangers.

Just like the United Kingdom and the United States are now joining forces to support Germany, it seems to be to contain France, but in fact there is no need to contain France. France has no chance to return to the glory of the First Empire. On the contrary, the Germans are still brooding about the failure of the World War.

, still harbors a grudge against Britain, which cannot be changed by loans and aid.

"Locke, wouldn't you also select some Africans to join the Southern African delegation?" Winston didn't care, or maybe he didn't care.

Rock smiled and shook his head: "No -"

Later, Johnston, president of the British Coal Mining Federation, visited Rock and talked with Rock about the ongoing coal workers' strike in the country.

Rock also doesn’t know why there are so many civil organizations in the UK. The Coal Mines Federation is a union of mine owners, the Mineworkers Union is a union of coal workers, and the Trades Union Congress is a national workers’ organization. This situation is widespread in all walks of life. The British government

The role of the union has been greatly weakened, and its influence on workers is far less than that of the trade union.

"Although the general strike has ended, the coal miners' strike continues. Now all the local coal mines are in a state of death. The mine owners do not agree to the workers' demands and the workers have not returned to work. Many workers have lost their jobs and live in extreme poverty. Even the most basic

There’s no food at all—” Johnston’s performance was miserable as soon as he arrived. You can’t blame anyone else for this. The Coal Mines Federation is also responsible.

Rock didn't speak, looked at Johnston with a smile, and watched Johnston's performance quietly.

Johnston received no response from Rock and had to take the initiative to get to the point.

"The problem now is that the workers do not agree to the mine owner's request to lower wages and extend working hours, but the mine owner wants to ensure profits. The conflict is so acute that it cannot be reconciled - Neville reminded me that the southern African federal government may have a way, so

I'm coming -" Johnston was prompted by Neville to think of southern Africa.

"What do you need me to do? If you need coal, the price can be negotiated." Rock didn't know why, but he felt happy when he saw the British Empire in a state of distress.

Southern Africa is rich in resources, not only gold and diamonds, but also coal reserves. The reserves in the Cape alone exceed 30 billion tons.

Abundant reserves are the basis. The key is that the cost of coal mining in southern Africa is very low, which has a lot to do with the large number of African-American workers used in coal mines in southern Africa.

In recent years, mines in southern Africa have vigorously promoted mechanized operations and upgraded equipment. The number of workers required by the mines has gradually decreased, and profits have continued to increase. This is also the reason why the British government ignored the strikes of local coal miners in the United Kingdom.

Even if the coal mines in the UK are closed, they can still be imported from the Dominion, which will not affect the industrial production in the UK.

That is to say, after the coal miners' strike in the UK, the total amount of coal imported by the UK from southern Africa has been increasing.

From this perspective, Rock hopes that British coal miners will be tougher and preferably never resume work.

"No, no, no, it's not about buying coal. That's a matter for the government and has nothing to do with our coal mine federation -" Johnston doesn't buy coal. It's not a joke for coal mine owners to buy coal.

"We have noticed that mines in southern Africa use a large number of African-American workers and have achieved good results, so we also hope to hire African-American workers and restore the production of local coal mines as soon as possible." Johnston wants to buy people, New Era

of the slave trade.

"John, there are no Africans in southern Africa -" Rock didn't continue. A few years ago, a British company wanted to hire workers from southern Africa, but unfortunately it failed.

It is an obvious fact that if British companies hire workers from southern Africa, the most affected ones will be British workers.

The importation of African-American workers will definitely create competition for British native workers. At that time, African-American workers will be willing to do jobs that native workers are unwilling to do, and African-American workers will be willing to accept conditions that native workers are unwilling to accept. In that case, native workers will

There will be a lot of unemployment, so the biggest resistance to the introduction of African-American workers does not come from the British government or British business owners, but from the Labor Party and British workers.

"Lord, without your permission, no Southern African federal country dares to send workers to the British mainland." Johnston was also helpless. The labor force of the Southern African Union is also one of its resources. Without the permission of the Southern African federal government, the Union

Member states really dare not do business with the British Empire.

"You can go find a staffing company—" Rock nudged Johnston toward Christian.

Johnston stared at Rock with helpless eyes.

Who doesn't know that Christian is Rock's servant?

Roque disagreed, and Christian would not do business with the Coal Mines Federation either.

"Locke——" Winston really couldn't stand it. On this issue, the Winston Station Coal Mine Union.

Winston has always hated strikes. During the World War, a workers' strike broke out in London. As a result, Winston sent military and police to suppress it.

"Winston, it's not that I won't help. You know, if Southern Africa sends African-American workers to the British mainland, then Southern Africa will be hated by the Labor Party and British workers-" Roque was helpless. The Conservative Party was gradually declining.

At the moment, Roque does not dare to offend the Labor Party.

"Then you would rather suffer the hatred of the mine owner?" Winston did not agree with Rock's reason.

For southern Africa, maintaining the status quo is the best option.

As for whether British society is torn apart, this Rock has nothing to do with southern Africa. Let’s see how lively coal sales are now. When winter comes, coal sales will further increase.

"The coal workers' strike is not the responsibility of the Federal Government of Southern Africa. What reason do the mine owners have to hate me?" Rock also did not agree with Winston's accusation. To paraphrase politically correct words: This is the internal affairs of the British government and the Federal Government of Southern Africa.

The government has no right to interfere.

Johnston and Winston didn't get what they wanted from Rock, so after leaving the Palace of Justice, they went to the opposite side to find Kitchener.

I don’t know how Johnston and Winston persuaded Kitchina, and the next day Kitchina took Johnston and Winston to find Rock.

Also traveling with him is Christian.

Roque looked at Christian with a questioning look, meaning: Why are you here?

Christian was almost crying. Kitchener called him and asked him if he could come.

There is nothing we can do about Rock and Kitchen.

Kitchener was so clever with Christian that a single phone call could make Christian's life worse than death.

Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger.

"Okay, what is it for this time?" Rock asked knowingly.

Kitchina immediately looked at Roque with dissatisfied eyes.

Why don't you have an AC number in mind?

"Christian, how many African-American workers do you have on your hands now?" Winston pretended to be powerful and attacked Christian directly.

Christian grimaced and was about to speak.

Rock suddenly coughed.

Christian immediately shut up, looking like he would rather die than surrender.

Kitchener, Winston, and Johnston all looked at Rock with dissatisfaction.

"Not feeling well?" Kitchin smiled softly.

"I caught a cold when I slept last night, caught a little wind, caught a cold, had a fever, had a headache, and felt dizzy——" Roque rubbed his forehead. There is no way to prove that there is a headache. It is a century problem that cannot be solved in the 21st century. The current medical level cannot be imagined.

Don't even think about it.

"Haha——" Winston sneered. If you don't get sick early, you won't get sick late. It's the right time to get sick.

"Boy, answer the question just now -" Kitchener couldn't control Roark and became aggressive towards Christian.

Oh, majestic.

"Marshal, I have too many companies under my name and too many workers. I really don't know how many there are--" Christian glanced at Roque and immediately felt confident.
