Australian iron ore is also one of the conditions of the United Kingdom in the negotiations between Southern Africa and the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom hopes to use Australian iron ore as a condition to force Southern Africa to make more profits.
Australia has not left the Commonwealth, so the UK is indeed eligible to do so.
But if Australia also thinks that it can take advantage of the fire, then Australia is wrong. The United Kingdom cannot yet take advantage of southern Africa, so what is Australia's virtue and ability?
At the end of 1930, the world's economies finally had the possibility of getting out of the economic crisis. Production gradually recovered and trade exchanges became frequent. Countries that had been calling for disarmament for several years finally began to respond. Regardless of the reasons for disarmament, it seemed that the shadow of war was moving away.
Pretoria is still prosperous. Although there are no big changes, subtle changes are happening every day. More and more streets are equipped with street lights, the street trees on the roadside are getting neater and neater, and the smiles on people's faces are growing day by day.
In October, the crape myrtle trees all over the city enter their flowering period, and the lavender crape myrtle flowers are so beautiful. At this time every year, Pretoria holds a week-long celebration. This year, because Southern Africa has left the Commonwealth, the celebrations are even bigger than in previous years.
Be more enthusiastic.
Unlike previous celebrations, the Union Jack of the British Empire has now disappeared in Pretoria, replaced by the orange, white and blue tricolor flag. Although the Transvaal State Government and the Pretoria Municipal Government have not enforced
Despite the demand, merchants in the streets and alleys of Pretoria still took the initiative to hang the national flag in front of their shops. The Rhodesian Hotel next to the Church Square in the city center went even further. A giant flag 50 meters wide and 80 meters long was hung in front of the hotel.
The orange, white and blue tricolor flag attracts frequent glances from people passing by.
This is also considered formalism, and Stoudemire has always been very good at this aspect.
James Scullin stayed in this hotel. Unfortunately, although James Scullin is the Prime Minister of Australia, he cannot afford the presidential suite of the Rhodesia Hotel and can only stay in the executive suite.
Although the executive suite is nice, it is not worthy of James Scullin's status.
However, James Scullin is definitely not in the mood to care about these issues now. Southern Africa has too much influence on Australia, and James Scullin feels deeply powerless.
"To be honest, for us in Australia, it may be easier to get rid of the Commonwealth than to get rid of southern Africa. We are too close to southern Africa but too far from the mainland. The Royal Navy is very powerful, but it cannot provide sufficient protection for Australia.
." Resigned Finance Minister Edward Theodore came to Pretoria with James Scullin as a member of the team.
Edward Theodore and James Scullin were the only two people in Scullin's cabinet with experience in governing.
Edward Theodore was forced to resign as Finance Minister just because he said a few more words in the Australian Federal Parliament and questioned the ownership of the Pilbara iron mines. The influence of Southern Africa on Australia is evident.
The economic base determines the superstructure. Rock never forgets to support various interest spokesmen. The Australian political scene is more chaotic than the UK and lacks a dominant political party like the Conservative Party. In recent years, the Australian Free Trade Party and the Protectionist Party have
With the Labor Party, the Federal Liberal Party and the United Party taking turns to come to power, Southern Africa has a lot of room for maneuver.
Even the Labor Party has received funding from Favalte Steel Group and South African companies.
Otherwise Henry and Stoudemire would not be so confident when facing James Scullin.
Do you still want to be the Prime Minister if you don’t listen to the sponsor’s father?
"We finally gained independence through the Act of Westminster, and now we are about to become a vassal of southern Africa. Why is this happening?" James Scullin is weak and helpless. He drives tigers out the front door and denies wolves in the backyard. This
The Prime Minister is also really frustrated.
“Hehehe, James, the passage of the Westminster Act is largely thanks to the efforts of southern Africa.” Edward felt it more deeply than James. Looking back on the scene of being besieged in Parliament, it was hard to look back on the past.
Southern Africa is pushing for the "Act of Westminster" in order to strive for equal status with the United Kingdom.
Now the "Westmint Act" is meaningless to southern Africa, but it is still meaningful to overseas autonomous territories such as Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. Even India has obtained greater rights based on the "Westmint Act"
degree of freedom, from this perspective, all Commonwealth member states should be grateful to southern Africa.
“I have never denied the efforts of southern Africa. I am just sorry that southern Africa is already so strong. Why can’t it be more generous?” James Scullin is not naive, but the nature of the Anglo-Saxon people.
There is no need to go into details about the nature of the Anglo-Saxons here. Everyone knows about it.
“In the process of becoming the ‘Empire on which the sun never sets’, the British Empire was never generous to the indigenous people around the world.” Edward hit the nail on the head. We are all British, and no one should look down on anyone else.
“But we are all a civilized society after all.” James subconsciously divided the white people and the indigenous people into two groups, so the white people’s oppression and massacre of the indigenous people was only natural.
“The Germans used to think so too.” Edward was in a depressed mood. It was so difficult for Australia to stand upright in front of southern Africa.
Edward is right. The Germans once considered themselves members of a civilized society, so they demanded treatment commensurate with their strength.
It is a pity that Britain was very uncivilized at this time. After uniting almost the whole world to defeat Germany, it divided up Germany's overseas colonies and took away the wealth that Germany had accumulated for hundreds of years. Even the machines were not spared.
The same goes for Australia.
If Australia has the strength to compete with Southern Africa, then James Scullin will definitely not have a weak mentality and hope that Southern Africa will be more generous.
Rather, I will adopt the mentality of a strong person. If you don’t give it to me, I will grab it.
The next day James Scullin continued to visit Rock. This time James Scullin was very pragmatic.
Since Southern African capital is unwilling to give up control of the Pilbara mining areas, James Scullin hopes that Southern Africa can give the Australian government more profits. This can be regarded as a disguised increase in tariffs, which can give London an explanation.
"Lord, the Australian federal government is in too much trouble now. We don't have the strength of Southern Africa. We have abundant resources, but we don't even have the ability to develop them. The Australian federal government even defaults on pensions for veterans during the World War. We
I also want to learn from Southern Africa’s food-for-work program, but we don’t even have workers to hire.” James Scullin Face the reality, a country of eight million people and a territory of more than seven million square kilometers, how to use food-for-work programs?
Speak for a ghost.
In Australia now, there is not even a decent city in the country. The vast majority of the people are farmers. To put it bluntly, they are farmers. Even if you want to develop mineral resources, you have to have someone to work.
James Scullin is quite smart and hopes that Southern Africa will give in under the guise of veterans’ pensions.
This somewhat made Rock feel some pity. Don't forget that Rock was the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force during the World War. Rock had some lofty sentiments towards the Australian and New Zealand allied forces who fought bravely during the World War.
"James, you know, Southern Africa has left the Commonwealth and has no obligation to protect Australia. I can give you more help, but what can Southern Africa get?" Rock can still control his emotions on the issue of national interests.
.
From a personal standpoint, if Australian veterans are really living in difficulty, it would be fine for Rock to donate money to the veterans to improve their lives, but taking the initiative to share the benefits will not work.
To put it bluntly, even if the Australian federal government obtains more profits, will the Australian federal government use all these profits for veterans?
Stop being ridiculous, there are so many high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Canberra who are still waiting for food, and veterans will never get their turn.
"Southern Africa has taken away the Pilbara iron ore, bought almost all of Western Australia, Australia's bauxite mines, Southern Africa controls 75 percent, Australia's coal mines, Southern Africa controls 50 percent, nickel and
Southern Africa controls almost 100% of tantalum. Even more than half of the gold mined by Australia has to be sold to the Lord of Southern Africa. Australia has done everything it can to please Southern Africa. Now in Australia, is there anything else that Southern Africa values but does not get?
"Is that true?" James Scullin almost cried. Australia is really not filial to southern Africa and not even filial to its own father.
"James, don't be sad. Staying in the Commonwealth is Australia's biggest capital." Rock doesn't feel guilty. James Scullin said so much. They were all bought by Southern Africa with real money. It's not like mining.
You haven’t paid taxes to the Australian government, so what can you feel guilty about?
James Scullin was stunned and did not understand what Rock meant for a while.
“As you know, Southern Africa is negotiating with the United Kingdom, and the biggest difference lies in the Commonwealth market.” Roque is not afraid to expose his own shortcomings. Even if Australia knows the weaknesses of Southern Africa, it cannot take advantage of it.
To put it bluntly, even if southern African goods withdraw from the Commonwealth market, Australian companies will not be able to compete.
Not necessarily. Most of the well-known companies in Australia are controlled by capital from Southern Africa.
“So, products from southern Africa need to return to the Commonwealth market in the name of Australia.” Roque sneered. Even if Southern Africa leaves the Commonwealth, Roque will not give up the Commonwealth market.
It’s very simple to borrow a chicken to lay an egg.
