Britain will not hesitate to cut off its own arm to drive Southern Africa out of the Commonwealth in order to dominate the Commonwealth market.
An embarrassing thing happened at this time. After Southern African goods withdrew from the Commonwealth market, British companies were unable to make up for the market share that resulted from the withdrawal of Southern African goods. This gave Southern African goods an opportunity to make a comeback.
However, British companies are not living up to expectations. The expansion of production scale also requires a process. Building a new factory or adding a new production line always takes time, not to mention that many products cannot be made in factories, especially for products.
For the British Empire.
The British Empire was an "empire on which the sun never set", so its food, clothing, housing and transportation had to be the best in the world. The "best" here meant that it had to be the best in every aspect, from materials to technology, to design to craftsmanship.
They all have to be world-class.
Being world-class cannot be achieved simply by taking a chance. It requires not only complete industrial supporting facilities, but also the accumulation of time.
For example, cars, after Southern African cars withdraw from the Commonwealth market, the UK lacks car brands that can replace Southern African cars.
Another example is luxury goods. The price of Iteno's products has increased due to tariff changes. However, the dignitaries in London have no other better choices and will still flock to the new seasonal styles launched by Iteno every year.
In recent years, inspired by Iteno, there have indeed been some emerging brands in the UK under the banner of "high-end luxury". However, these brands lack confidence in front of Iteno, and none of them can compete.
Itno is a luxury brand built on the back of the Rand Gold Mine and Kimberley Diamonds. Among other things, only Itno in the world can continuously provide a variety of colored diamonds. This alone is enough for Itno
It stands out among more and more luxury brands.
Therefore, Iteno never lowers its price, and will it increase in price? In the past two years, it has even started to implement the stock allocation principle, which means that before the consumption of Iteno reaches a certain level, you cannot buy products produced by Iteno.
Some special products, such as various fashionable handbags that can cure all diseases.
As a luxury brand from a female perspective, Eterno launches some limited edition handbags and shoulder bags every year, both for men and women, and they are not sold to the public. Only those who meet the criteria are eligible to purchase.
This sales method is simply in line with the positioning of luxury goods. Doesn’t luxury goods use its expensive price to distance itself from the public and highlight the user’s noble status? Itno’s most expensive handbag is sold in London
At nearly 1,000 pounds, this price is roughly equivalent to three ordinary civilian cars.
And it’s not just about buying what you want. I have to say that raising the threshold is very effective for the style of luxury goods.
So this creates a very magical phenomenon. Even if the price of Iteno increases, the supply is still in short supply.
Even if other luxury brands often have promotions, real ladies won’t even look at them.
This is not a matter of whether southern Africa leaves the Commonwealth.
For Rock, his request is mainly for bulk commodities related to people's daily necessities of life. Luxury goods serve a small number of people after all. No matter how high the British tariffs are, it will not affect Itno's profits, but for example
A five-point increase in food tax rates is enough to make ordinary people choose other brands that are cheaper.
Roque hopes that southern Africa can bear the trademark of Australian production and continue to dominate the Commonwealth market.
You may not believe it, but when Southern Africa remained in the Commonwealth, London was clamoring to raise tariffs and increase government revenue every day.
After Southern Africa left the Commonwealth, London now hopes to abolish tariffs within the Commonwealth to promote trade prosperity within the Commonwealth.
This time it is the turn of Australia and Canada to object. Australia and Canada also want to protect their own markets. Only India is lying down and pretending to be dead. India has no say in whether the tariffs are high or not.
"If southern African goods are sold under the name of Australia, what benefits will the Australian federal government get?" James Scullin was in a dilemma. If Australia agrees to Rock's request, it will offend London, but if it does not agree, it will offend Southern Africa. This is forced
Follow the rhythm of Australia's team.
The key is that if James Scullin agrees to Rock's request, it will be equivalent to a slap in the face to London. London will definitely not be able to kick Australia out of the Commonwealth after southern Africa leaves the Commonwealth. In that case, the British
It would be better to simply dissolve the Federation.
"The good thing is that Southern Africa will continue to invest in Australia, and Southern Africa will ensure Australia's security. Australia is still Southern Africa's best friend around the Indian Ocean." Rock stared and told lies. Southern Africa is the best friend around the Indian Ocean.
My good friend is obviously the East Indian
Or the Sultanate of Najd
It won’t be Australia anyway.
James Scullin could only sigh. Even though Rock said so much, it was actually as if he had not said anything at all, and there was no real benefit at all.
Not only is there no such thing, but on the contrary, it is a bit irritating. James Scullin hopes that Southern Africa can cancel all investments in Australia, but this can only be thought about.
Of course Roque doesn’t just ask for it, and doesn’t give any benefits at all.
It's just that Rock hopes that James Scullin can be a little conscious. Australia can take what Southern Africa offers, but Australia can't reach out if Southern Africa doesn't give it.
When the purple asters bloom all over the city in Pretoria, it is already late autumn in the Dardanelles.
After the end of the World War, the League of Nations established a five-nation committee to manage the Black Sea estuary, and established a League of Nations force, mainly composed of the southern African army and the Japanese army, to control the Dardanelles Strait and the Bosporus Strait. The funding of the League of Nations force
It is the responsibility of the League of Nations.
The current commander of the League of Nations forces is still French General Charles Mangin. After Japan disarmament, it announced its withdrawal from the League of Nations forces. The main members of the League of Nations forces are only the Southern African Army.
Not long ago, Charles Mangin returned to Paris for treatment due to physical discomfort, and the actual commander of the League of Nations troops was changed to Paul Coker, who had served as Roque's chief of staff during the World War.
Paul Coker was an upright man with rich experience. He retired from the Army after the end of the World War. After Angie left the League of Nations, Paul Coker was recalled as deputy commander of the League of Nations. He was the highest commander of the Southern African army in the League of Nations.
After Charles Mangin returned to Paris, Paul Cocker transferred his headquarters from Constantinople to Cyprus, taking charge of all League of Nations troops.
After Japan withdrew from the League of Nations, the total strength of the League of Nations troops was less than 10,000, of which the number of southern African troops totaled 8,000. The remaining troops were composed of troops from Britain, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal and other countries, with France having the largest military strength.
There were no more than 500 troops, and Portugal, which had the smallest number of troops, only had 50 troops.
Troops with over 50 people have to jump out to increase their presence. The Portuguese are obviously not as good at fighting as playing football.
“Hasn’t the funding for the headquarters been received yet?” Paul Coker, who had white hair all over his head, was worried not about the combat effectiveness of the League of Nations troops, but about the funding.
Although the economies of various countries began to recover to varying degrees at the end of 1930, the economic crisis was not far away. The operation of the League of Nations was also greatly affected, and the appropriation for the League of Nations troops was in arrears for two months.
The League of Nations is responsible for the salaries of the League of Nations troops. Before the outbreak of the economic crisis, all countries were still trying to save face, and funds were never in arrears.
After the outbreak of the economic crisis, the economies of various countries have been greatly affected, and their dues have begun to be in arrears. France, in particular, has been in arrears with League of Nations funds for more than three years.
France does not want to default on its debts, it really cannot afford to pay. France cannot even help the unemployed in the country, so where can it get the money to pay its membership dues?
“No,” Paul’s adjutant Chen Lian smiled bitterly. He had to send a telegram to the League of Nations headquarters in Geneva every other day, but it was a pity that all the telegrams came to nothing.
"Very good, then let's do it. Starting from tomorrow, we will impose fees on all ships passing through the Bosporus and Dardanelles." Paul Coker wants to be self-reliant. If the League of Nations does not give money, the troops will
Self-funded.
The Black Sea outlet is of great significance. Its main function is to block Russia. Although Russia has now joined the League of Nations, it is still rejected by mainstream European and American society. Regarding Russians, mainstream European and American countries have maintained sufficient vigilance, fearing that the tragedy of the Russian Empire will happen in their own countries.
Performed.
Russia has always wanted to have access to the Black Sea. During the World War, Russia's dream almost came true. Unfortunately, the Russians gave up this golden opportunity.
In 1915, in order to gain Russia's full support, Britain and Russia secretly signed the "Secret Agreement on Constantinople and the Straits". Later France also joined in. Through the "Agreement", Britain and France agreed to transfer Constantinople to
The Bosporus, Sea of Marmara and the west coast of the Dardanelles were incorporated into Russia after the war.
Russia, in return, ensured that British and French demands in other parts of the Ottoman Empire were realized.
This is the time when Russia is closest to having an outlet to the Black Sea, and it is almost at your fingertips.
It is a pity that after the World War, Russia decided to abrogate the Agreement, so that the League of Nations was able to control this strait that is vital to the world.
From 1920 to the present, any warship of any country can freely enter and exit the strait, even during war. The League of Nations has no right to restrict the strait, and the Black Sea has become a de facto high seas.
Although the countries surrounding the Black Sea do not agree with this.
Now in order to raise funds for himself, Paul Coker has decided to impose a fee on ships passing through the strait, which will definitely cause strong opposition from relevant countries, especially the Black Sea countries.
