At the end of 1927, after a new round of devaluation of the rand, the per capita income in southern Africa finally exceeded 300 rand.
R15,000 is roughly equivalent to an adult's entire income for 50 years.
Even if the real estate around Lake Nyasa is of great investment value, the price is too high for ordinary people.
But don’t worry, a townhouse worth R15,000 is not meant for ordinary people. If you want to save money, you can buy an apartment. There is no construction pool in southern Africa. The size written in the house book is the size.
With two bedrooms and one living room of more than 70 square meters, it is very comfortable for a family to live there.
It's really not possible to go to a slightly remote place. The single-family villa also comes with a farm. The price is only two to three thousand rand. If you have a little money, you can still afford it. After all, every household has a car and the transportation is very convenient.
, it is very easy to enter the city, and you can also enjoy a relaxed and comfortable rural life, which is really the ultimate dream of many people.
On Christmas Eve, the festive atmosphere in Pretoria becomes more intense. The glass windows of shops are covered with Santa Claus's head and "Merry Christmas" in squiggles, interspersed with colorful snowflakes.
It hardly snows in Tolia. Some children who have never seen snow are very curious. At this time, parents will reflect and consider whether to take their children to travel to the Arctic Circle.
If it really doesn’t work, you can try your luck in Cape Town. It might snow.
The cultural and entertainment life in Pretoria has become increasingly rich. On the first day of the New Year holiday, the Football League arranged a match between Nyasaland Eagles and Rand United. This is a fixed highlight of Christmas and a holiday for all fans.
The radio station will also broadcast live.
The third day is the year-end finals of the Horse Racing Association. As the favorite event of southern Africans, every horse racing event attracts a large number of spectators. The year-end finals are also known as the annual carnival.
On the fifth day, there will be a car rally, and the winning team will have a float parade around the city.
During the New Year holiday, the New Year films carefully prepared by major film companies in southern Africa will be released together. At this time, war movies have to wait, as it is always difficult to fight and kill during the holiday. The movies during the New Year holiday are mainly comedies and feature films.
Lord.
Surprisingly, Star City Films this year launched the animated film "The Adventures of Simba" featuring the Commonwealth Games mascot Simba as the protagonist. This animated film is sure to become a new favorite among children.
On Christmas Eve, a dinner was held at the Palace of Justice in Pretoria. Federal government officials at all levels and ambassadors from various countries to Southern Africa gathered together to celebrate the holiday. Winston, as the Governor-General of Southern Africa, delivered a New Year's message, summarizing the past year and expressing by the way
Prospective to the future.
"We have experienced a lot in the past year, including stock market crash, bankruptcy, unemployment, famine, economic crisis, etc., but none of these can defeat us. We will eventually overcome all difficulties and usher in a new and bright new world.
"Winston's New Year's greetings are all smooth. He will leave southern Africa and return to his homeland to report on his work in a few days, which is probably not going to be easy for him.
After the economic crisis broke out, London sent telegrams to Winston many times, hoping that Winston could urge Southern Africa to fulfill its obligations as a member of the Commonwealth.
Winston did not respond positively to this "reasonable" request, and did not even contact Roark, as if nothing had happened.
This is not surprising at all. When the economic crisis broke out, Winston really hoped that southern Africa would give the locals due help.
However, after the Conservative cabinet collectively resigned, Winston never mentioned this matter again. The reason behind this is thought-provoking.
After Winston's speech, Rock had to say a few words at least.
Unlike Winston's speech, which was completely nutritious, Rock's speech had more or less added substance.
"The economic crisis cannot end in a short time. Countries will be more and more severely affected by the economic crisis. We must be vigilant about some countries. War is never far away, and it is getting closer to us. All we can do is to be prepared.
In response to all possible crises, Southern Africa will continue to maintain world peace as it did during the world war." Compared with Winston's speech, Rock's speech was more offensive, and by the way, he also expressed the needs of Southern Africa.
Ambition.
While Roque was speaking, the German Ambassador to Southern Africa, Gustav Stresemann, looked solemn in the audience.
Gustav Stresemann served as Prime Minister of Germany's Weimar government for one term. However, Gustav Stresemann's career as prime minister was not successful and he resigned sadly after only one hundred days.
Later, Gustav Stresemann served as Foreign Minister of the Weimar government. During this period, Gustav Stresemann used the Treaty of Rapallo, the Locarno Convention and the Treaty of Berlin to
The three treaties successfully broke up the anti-German alliance and laid the foundation for Germany's revival.
After Mustache came to power, Gustav Stresemann began to serve as Germany's ambassador to Southern Africa, which is enough to prove that Mustache attaches great importance to southern Africa.
Gustav Stresemann visited Roque as soon as he came to Southern Africa, hoping that the federal government of Southern Africa would give Germany more investment.
Roque did not immediately agree to Gustav Stresemann's request, but only promised to give it serious consideration.
Unlike Roque's "serious consideration," the United Kingdom and the United States have increased investment in Germany after Mustache came to power.
Considering that the United Kingdom and the United States are still suffering from the economic crisis and cannot protect themselves, this kind of help is really valuable.
After Rock's speech ended, it was time for free activities.
Gustav Stresemann immediately came to Roque and congratulated Southern Africa for maintaining economic growth during the economic crisis.
"Southern Africa's performance in the economic crisis is absolutely miraculous and worthy of learning from all countries. In fact, Germany has begun to learn from Southern Africa's way of fighting the economic crisis and formulate economic policies suitable for Germany. I hope that Germany can defeat the economic crisis and get out of the predicament as soon as possible."
Reeseman praised Southern Africa. Compared with Britain and the United States, Germany is indeed superior in execution capabilities.
"Yes, I believe that under the leadership of President Hindenburg, Germany will be able to get out of the economic crisis as soon as possible." Roque said casually. The faster Germany recovers, the greater the damage it will cause to the world in the future.
From this perspective, Rock hoped that the Weimar government would never get out of the economic crisis.
"Like Southern Africa, we are also increasing investment in infrastructure and large-scale projects. The only thing we lack now is funds. If Southern Africa can help, then in the future, Southern Africa's investment will definitely be rich.
"Return." Stresemann brought up the old story again. Nothing could be done without money. The Weimar government was trying to re-establish Mark's credit, but there was a lack of credit guarantee.
The credit guarantee is gold. As mentioned earlier, if the current government does not have enough reserves, it cannot print currency, especially for Germany. Even the Germans have lost confidence in the mark.
Currency rectification was considered by the German government as the first step towards recovery, and the Weimar government was preparing to launch a new mark. The new mark was based on the pound, with approximately five marks per pound.
It was a good idea, but Germany did not have enough gold to implement it.
"Sorry Mr. Stresemann, you may not know that the economy of Southern Africa is not as prosperous as it seems on the surface. In order to stimulate domestic demand, the federal government issued 200 million rand of national debt this year. Next year, the scale of the national debt may be even more.
It will increase further, and in a short period of time, Southern Africa will not be able to expand foreign investment." Roque directly refused.
Southern Africa has no need to maintain the balance of the European continent, nor does it have an urgent need to break the colonial order, so Southern Africa can completely stay out of the matter and quietly watch Britain and the United States die.
Of course, necessary assistance is still needed. Although Krupp failed in the competition with Mustache, it still has investment value. Even if gold is not given, other assistance is still available, such as food.
It should be noted that these aids are not free. Germany has to pay for them, and they have to be paid in rands.
It doesn't matter if you don't have money now, you can owe it and pay it back when you have money.
It doesn't matter if you want to default on your debt, as long as you are prepared to face the iron fist of the Southern African Defense Force.
"Lord, expanding foreign investment is a beneficial thing for both of us." Stresemann tried his best to fight for it. Southern Africa has the ability to buy bargains in the United States but cannot invest in Germany. To put it bluntly, it still has no interest in Germany.
trust.
It's okay to distrust him. Rock didn't want to give money to the Germans and then let the Germans make bullets and shells and then send them back to southern Africa.
It is said that after the World War, Southern Africa has obtained enough of what it wants from Germany. Almost all German technical personnel and technical data have been moved to Southern Africa. Now, there is nothing in Germany worthy of Southern Africa's investment.
This may sound a bit hurtful, but it is true. The scientific and technological strength of Southern Africa is second to none in the world, otherwise Stresemann would not be so cowardly.
Just as Stresemann was being entangled, Louis walked quickly to Roque and whispered in Roque's ear.
“There was a fire in the German Reichstag, and it is suspected that someone set the fire deliberately”
Rock's face was expressionless, the arson attack on the Capitol happened as expected.
I just don’t know whether the next direction of the world will gradually lose control like another time and space.
It doesn't matter if it loses control. No matter what other people do now, as long as Southern Africa does its own thing and stabilizes the current development momentum, then Southern Africa will have the confidence to cope with any difficulties.
