Prince Edward did not arrange a dinner, and it was Neville who had dinner with Roark that night.
Rock hasn't had dinner with Neville for a long time. The two haven't even seen each other for several years. When they meet again, they are a bit strange to each other.
"Locke, your condition is still so good. There is almost no change from thirty years ago." Neville started with a compliment, and Rock immediately found a familiar feeling.
Thirty years ago, Joseph Chamberlain, then the British Finance Minister, went to southern Africa for inspection. Neville was one of the attachés. It was at that time that Rock and Neville met.
Thirty years have passed. At that time, Roark was still the chief of police in Johannesburg, and Neville was the white glove who accumulated wealth for the Chamberlain family. Now they are the leaders of the two most powerful countries in the world. The world is really
wonderful.
"You can also maintain healthy living habits and exercise," Rock said lightly. Everyone knows the truth, but not many people can do it.
"Britain is not southern Africa. I also want to go to bed before ten o'clock every night, but every time I walk into the bedroom, it is often after two o'clock in the morning, and sometimes it is even dawn." Neville looked bitter, and now
In the UK, if he can sleep, he is in a good mood.
"You deserve it! You brought it on yourself!" Roque said without mercy. The British also brought it upon themselves.
"How can you say that!" Neville was inexplicably surprised. The impression of Rock was not so violent.
"Then what do you want me to say? For the current situation in the UK, do you blame the French for not living up to expectations? Blame the Germans for being ambitious? Or blame southern Africa for developing too fast?" Rock was really speechless. Britain was the one who played the best cards.
typical.
"You don't understand Britain. Britain is not southern Africa." Neville was suddenly embarrassed. The situation in Britain is indeed complicated, but he cannot blame others.
The key is that you haven't done your own thing well.
As mentioned before, during periods of rapid economic development, many problems will be covered up.
The problem in the UK is that not only has its economy not developed over the years, but it has gradually weakened, causing problems to continue to be exposed, and ultimately led to today's situation.
Rock didn't speak and frowned as he looked at the French fries in front of him.
Although French fries are known as the British national dish.
But it's a bit unreasonable to treat Rock with French fries.
If you make steamed buns, millet porridge or something, Rock might be able to eat a few more bites.
Of course, given the cooking skills of British cooks, the steamed buns and millet porridge would probably be hard for Rock to swallow.
"Don't look, this is the British Prime Minister's dinner." Neville laughed at himself. Others thought the British Prime Minister was so glorious, but only the British Prime Minister knew how miserable the British Prime Minister was.
Now Neville finally understands what it means to be a scapegoat.
In British parlance, it's whipping.
Whip means whip, and when used as a verb, it means to whip.
The term whipping comes from Britain in the 16th century. At that time, the British royal family set up a whipping whip. When the prince made a mistake and needed to be punished, the whipping whip would take the place of the prince.
The British Prime Minister is the British whipping boy.
The British economy is in a sluggish state, and the responsibility lies with the British Prime Minister.
The relationship between Britain and France has deteriorated, and the responsibility lies with the British Prime Minister.
Germany broke through the Rhineland, and the responsibility still lies with the British Prime Minister.
Even when George V died, some people said that he was angry to death due to Neville.
Neville is really wronged.
Neville is a shareholder of many southern African resource development companies. He has shares in Favalte Steel Group, Haut-Katanga United Mining Co., Ltd., Adan Company, and even Iron Square. He is worth hundreds of millions, even if he is not the British Prime Minister.
, is also the UK’s leading richest man.
As a result, he became the Prime Minister, but he suffered from this kind of cowardice, which no one else could bear.
"You might as well resign and go to southern Africa for retirement." Rock wants to make southern Africa a nursing home for the world's rich.
"It's not time for me to retire yet." Neville doesn't want to give up his rights.
This attitude is wrong. Winston has already made a retirement plan, and Neville must also be prepared.
Neville is now 67 years old and is almost the same generation as Roque.
"Have you ever thought that compromising with Germany would further stimulate the ambitions of the Germans?" Rock said seriously. If Britain gave up its appeasement policy, World War II might be avoided.
Rock didn't want to fight World War II.
Even without World War II, Rock is confident that he will completely break the current world structure within ten years.
If the world can be changed in a peaceful way, why should we pay the price of 70 million deaths and 130 million injuries?
This is data from World War II in another time and space.
In this time and space, the weapons and equipment are more advanced and more lethal than in another time and space. The result of World War II will be more tragic than in another time and space.
"The ambition of the Germans is not necessarily a bad thing for us. If the Germans can be used to counter the expansion of the Russians, then everything will be worth it." Neville revealed his heart. British politicians are not stupid. On the contrary,
They are all cunning and cunning guys. The British government must have conducted numerous deductions on the current situation.
Therefore, the frequently criticized continental balancing policy was the choice of countless British elites after countless deductions.
Your arsenic, my honey.
It can only be said that there is no best, only the most suitable.
"Then have you ever considered what kind of damage it will cause to our world if a world war breaks out again?" Rock's inner resentment is indescribable. People are so crazy to stop Russia's expansion at the cost of 200 million people.
Got it!
"Locke, we will all die eventually" Neville suddenly turned into a philosopher.
That's right, the theme in Britain these days is death.
"What kind of world do you want to leave after we die?" Rock didn't like Neville's attitude.
Neville's subtext is that the flood will be overwhelming after I die.
Orientals pay more attention to winning reputation during and after death.
"Of course it is a beautiful world, where elites manage the country, people live and work in peace and contentment, and countries live in peace and harmony." Neville probably didn't believe what he said.
That's right, ideals, if they are too easy to achieve, you won't cherish them.
Rock finally understood why the British were so afraid of Russia.
Britain is dominated by the elite.
Russia is dominated by the working class.
This is a question of national leadership.
To put it bluntly, if the working class truly takes power in Britain, Neville and the so-called elites will lose everything.
So this is not justice and injustice at all, but a life-and-death war between classes.
To be honest, Roark can understand why the British government chose the policy of appeasement.
But Rock couldn't accept it.
Rock no longer tried to persuade Neville. This contradiction was simply irreconcilable.
According to regulations, the funeral of George V will be held three days later.
As Rock expected, before the funeral, a scandal finally broke out in the royal family.
On the night when Roark arrived in London, instead of trying to win over Roark, Prince Edward sneaked out to have a tryst with Mrs. Simpson. When the news came out, the whole country was in an uproar.
The king's body is still cold and has not yet been buried. His own son, who is also the next king, goes to have a tryst with a woman, and he is still married.
This damn thing is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world.
It is said that Neville and Stanley Baldwin, as well as many senior officials of the British government, advised Prince Edward face to face after the scandal spread, hoping that Prince Edward would clean himself up and cut off contact with Mrs. Simpson.
Prince Edward reacted violently.
Not only did he directly reject the suggestions of the elders, but he also made it clear that he would propose to Mrs. Simpson within the next few months.
Regarding Mrs. Simpson's marital status, Prince Edward proudly stated that Mrs. Simpson was seeking a divorce from her husband. After the divorce, she would no longer be considered seducing a married woman.
Or it is said that Stanley Baldwin was admitted to the hospital immediately after meeting Prince Edward.
Rock has really eaten his fill in London these days.
Thanks to Brad's pervasive office, Rock knew all about the British government's mess.
Some things are indeed just a shadow of a doubt.
Some are true.
Of course, Rock is not idle either. Prince Edward doesn't want to see Rock, but someone wants to see Rock and wants to see him.
In the past few days in London, people who wanted to see Roque included the French, Germans, Russians, Spanish, and even the Japanese.
Those in Europe want to see Roque, and Roque can understand that whether they are the French or the Germans, they all want the support of southern Africa.
The relationship between Japan and Southern Africa has already completely deteriorated, and there is no room for improvement. Unless Japan stops its external expansion, Southern Africa will never lift its blockade against Japan.
Yes, Japan is under a tight blockade in Southern Africa. Japanese ships are not allowed to dock at ports in Southern Africa for supplies, nor are they allowed to pass through key places controlled by Southern Africa, such as the Strait of Malacca. Japanese ships cannot pass through.
This is not Southern Africa bullying others. The decision to blockade was not made by Southern Africa, but by the League of Nations. Southern Africa only responded to the call of the League of Nations.
After Japan began its external expansion two years ago, the League of Nations decided to block Japan.
This blockade was in vain for other countries in the past, especially the United States. The League of Nations blocked Japan, and European countries and southern Africa cut off trade with Japan. Americans were the happiest because they could finally dominate the Japanese market.
Among all countries, Southern Africa is the most resolute in enforcing the blockade against Japan. It not only refuses trade with Japan, but also does not allow Southern African shipping companies to undertake transportation business related to Japan. Even other countries that do not abide by the blockade decision are not allowed to do so.
will be sanctioned by Southern Africa.
This makes Japan feel very uncomfortable.
Although Japan has trade support from the United States, Americans are not good people. The prices of various materials sold to the Japanese are very high. Those broken ships that are about to be demolished are sold to the Japanese as high-quality steel.
It's not enough if Japan doesn't buy it. Who makes Japan lack resources?
Under such circumstances, Japan still insisted on launching "Yamato" and "Musashi".
Therefore, Neville's concerns are very reasonable. Human ambitions are endless. Even if the United Kingdom does not implement the appeasement policy, Germany will embark on the road of ****.
