Roque proposed the Civilian Resource Conservation Corps plan to absorb the surplus labor force in southern Africa.
As a result, due to the purge of foreign workers in Southern Africa, Southern African companies began to absorb a large number of domestic labor forces, and the private resource conservation team program became useless. So far, the number of participants is still less than 50,000, and most of them are volunteers.
The current number of unemployed people and their relatives in the United States has reached 17 million.
After two consecutive years of population decline, the total population of the United States is now only 113 million.
Comparing these two figures is simply shocking!
Therefore, it is perfect for the Civilian Resource Conservation Corps program to be placed in the United States.
In just one month, the U.S. Civilian Conservation Corps program has recruited 250,000 people, all of whom are young people between the ages of 18 and 25.
At the same time, Roosevelt also established the Works Administration and the National Youth Administration, which specifically targeted young people. The two are expected to employ more than 23 million people, accounting for nearly half of the U.S. labor force.
Only then did the whole society really take action, and young people from the private resource protection team were opening up state-owned forest areas and national parks.
The Public Works Department and the Civil Works Department, which are engaged in long-term engineering planning, began to build small engineering projects across the country.
The Works Development Administration and the National Youth Administration have found a place for the vast number of unskilled unemployed workers.
Most of the infrastructure in the United States in another time and space was built during this period.
This is also the reason why the United States later lagged far behind in infrastructure construction. It was because there were too many infrastructures built during this period, including more than 1,000 airports, more than 12,000 sports fields, 800 schools and hospitals, and the United States originally ranked first
Americans are indeed entitled to be proud of the length of railways in the world.
It is precisely because of the perfect infrastructure construction that the United States has never carried out similar large-scale infrastructure construction in the following decades.
As a result, decades later, the level of infrastructure construction in the United States is far behind.
Don't brag about how good the infrastructure in the United States was during this period. No matter how good it is, it was built according to the standards of the 1920s and 1930s. Even if the standards are higher, it will not fall behind in ten or twenty years, but what about thirty or fifty years?
What about ninety years?
If you haven't fallen behind for ninety years, why don't you go to heaven?
Otherwise, how did the nickname "Big Countryside" come about?
Of course, there is a saying that in another time and space, the infrastructure of the United States in the 21st century is backward, but the facilities and service concepts are not backward, and are even very advanced. Comfort and practicality are what Americans are concerned about.
Back in 1929, comfort and practicality were beyond the pale in America.
What is comfort and practicality? The United States, which has been wielding a sickle to harvest the world for decades, is certainly qualified to talk about comfort and practicality. In the United States in 1929, while Roosevelt was fully turning on the money printing press, he also had to lead the United States out of the economic crisis.
It is necessary to restore the U.S. economy and restore the little confidence that Americans managed to accumulate through the First World War.
Don't forget that it has only been 20 or 30 years since American Wall Street tycoons would rather pay dowries to marry their daughters to the down-and-out British aristocrats.
When Americans began to build a new America, the British Empire was still struggling in the quagmire of economic crisis.
Thanks to the efforts of Keynes, Sir Maudsley and others, the British Empire finally abandoned the gold standard, devalued the pound, and the British economy began to slowly recover.
However, compared to the United States and southern Africa, the speed of British economic recovery is unbearably slow. Under such circumstances, Ramsay MacDonald asked the League of Nations to convene a disarmament conference, hoping to further reduce the pressure and devote more energy to
used to restore the economy.
This proposal is strongly supported by the League of Nations, and southern Africa is also invited.
"Our Prime Minister must be crazy. The whole world is crazy about expanding armaments and stimulating economic recovery. It is a joke to ask for disarmament at this time." Yang Smuts complained at the Southern African Cabinet meeting, Ramsey McDonough
It is rare in the world for Nadir to be so naive after being Prime Minister for so long.
"Peace-loving, this is the character of the Prime Minister, and I have to use it for speculation from time to time." Xiaosi is in a good mood. Roya and little Arthur have returned to Pretoria these days. Xiaosi is really happy.
Crazy, I haven’t gone to work at the Ministry of Justice for many days.
Of course, this is on the premise that it does not affect the operation of the Ministry of Justice.
This is the case in Southern Africa. Strictly speaking, even if a dog is tied up in the office of the Minister of Justice, it will not affect the operation of the Ministry of Justice, and maybe it will run more smoothly——
This is not a complaint about Stoudemire's work ability. The Ministry of Justice is not the Palace of Justice, as long as there are no unjust, false or wrong cases.
Xiaosi knows so much about unjust, false and wrongful convictions that he probably doesn’t even know how many laws there are in southern Africa.
In fact, Roque did not know that after the outbreak of the economic crisis, Southern Africa had already promulgated more than a dozen laws, many of which only a few justices could explain clearly.
"Should we participate in a disarmament conference?" Martin is most concerned about this issue. The two aircraft carriers that were allowed to be built in Southern Africa at the London Naval Conference have already begun laying the keels. Isn't it ridiculous to disarmament at this time?
"Absolutely, we are still a non-permanent member of the League of Nations!" Yang Smuts emphasized that this is his responsibility.
There are four permanent members and four non-permanent members of the League of Nations. Since Southern Africa was elected as one of the four non-permanent members, this position has been firmly occupied by Southern Africa and has never been elected again.
Amazingly, among the four permanent members, the status of the United Kingdom and France is very stable, while Italy and Japan are not. The League of Nations often calls for the replacement of permanent members.
However, such requests are basically vetoed by a permanent member of the Security Council with one vote, and there is no possibility of replacement.
On the contrary, the position of Southern Africa, a non-permanent member of the Security Council, is very stable. It has been elected with an absolute advantage every time, and its support rate is much higher than that of Italy and Japan.
No matter how untimely Ramsay Macdonald's proposal was, his peace-loving stance was correct. Even if the members of the League of Nations did not agree with it, they would ostensibly support the proposal of the Conference on Disarmament. The same was true for Southern Africa.
"But don't hold out too much hope. It's very likely that the talks will last for a year or two, but nothing will come of it -" Roque is not optimistic about disarmament. This is indeed the case in history. The disarmament conference has been open for more than two years, but without any results.
.
Therefore, Rock will not arrange for Yang Smuts to represent Southern Africa in the disarmament conference. Although on the British side, Ramsay Macdonald has clearly stated that he will participate on behalf of the United Kingdom, Rock will not waste time on this kind of thing that is destined to be fruitless.
at the meeting.
Doesn't Southern Africa have a representative to the League of Nations? Just let him represent Southern Africa in the Disarmament Conference.
There is no need for Southern Africa to clearly oppose Ramsay Macdonald. With France and Germany here, it is not Southern Africa’s turn to take action.
In Europe today, the contradiction between France and Germany is still the most acute contradiction. If these two contradictions cannot be reconciled, it will be impossible to talk about disarmament.
After Mustache became Prime Minister, Germany had withdrawn from the League of Nations. This time disarmament was of great importance, and Ramsay Macdonald also extended an invitation to Germany.
Germany has not yet agreed to participate in the disarmament conference. If Germany participates, there will still be talks. If Germany does not participate, there is no need to convene the disarmament conference.
"Whether there is a result or not is not important. What is important is to pass the disarmament conference and observe the attitudes of other countries." Yang Shimozi has also been mentally prepared. In any case, this is an opportunity for communication and cannot be missed.
Now that you have decided to participate in a disarmament conference, you must be prepared.
Rock had to help Yang Smozi prepare several different plans to deal with different situations.
If all countries agree to disarmament, then Southern Africa must also express its opinion.
The Wehrmacht certainly cannot be cut, the coalition forces can be cut, and the National Guard can also be cut. How severe it is depends on the specific situation. Yang Smuts's bottom line is to cut one-third.
The National Guard of each state in Southern Africa has about 5,000 people in each state. The 20 states add up to 100,000 people. It would not hurt to lay off 30,000 people. After all, they are all militias.
The alliance forces have a total of six divisions of 150,000 people, with each division having 25,000 people. The Southern African Union countries are responsible for the military expenditures of this part of the army. It is not good to abolish them directly, but they can reduce the number of troops and disarmament in disguise, or they can be handed over.
If other countries do not agree to disarmament, Southern Africa can follow Ramsay Macdonald in advocating for world peace. Ramsay Macdonald cannot earn all his reputation. Southern Africa is also a peace-loving country.
If some countries do not agree to disarmament, such as France, then southern Africa should be careful.
After Mustache came to power, Germany did not break the provisions of the Treaty of Versailles and still only had an army of 100,000 men.
However, Germany has withdrawn from the League of Nations, which also means that Germany will break through the "Contract of Versailles" at any time. Therefore, France is the biggest obstacle to the disarmament conference. Unless security is guaranteed, France will definitely not agree to disarmament. By then, not only will southern Africa be unable to
Instead of disarmament, we must expand armaments and prepare for war to cope with possible wars.
On May 15th, Yang Smozi set out for Switzerland.
On the same day, the federal government of Southern Africa issued another R500 million in bonds for a new round of military procurement.
While the keels of the two aircraft carriers were being laid, Walvis Bay Shipyard and Edwards Shipyard had begun building new cruisers and destroyers. Cape Town Shipyard, Durban Shipyard and Elizabeth Shipyard also joined in. At one time, there were 16 ships in southern Africa.
warships were built simultaneously.
Rock's purpose is simple. Southern Africa has not yet fully met the cruiser tonnage stipulated in the London Naval Treaty. The current construction of cruisers and destroyers is to prepare for the future explosion of warships. The Southern African federal government not only issues bonds, but also more
The construction of warships began in the name of the Sultanate of Najd and the East Indies. This is just the beginning. When World War II breaks out, the shipbuilding capabilities of southern Africa will reach a new height.
