With the demonstration effect, things will be easy to handle.
Under the leadership of Oakes, hundreds of workers at the Renault Automobile Factory signed an agreement with the Phyllis Foundation on the spot. After receiving reemployment training, the Phyllis Foundation helped arrange jobs.
Only then did the workers realize that receiving reemployment training was an unexpected surprise. They were even paid during the training period.
Not only do you not have to pay for training from the foundation, but you can also receive money. This is unheard of and is simply unbelievable.
No matter how nice it is, nothing is as touching as real money. The moment they got the banknotes, everyone almost went crazy, including Henry.
"Why? Why are you doing this?" Henry was puzzled. What are you trying to do?
"We are a charitable foundation, that's what we are supposed to do!" Wilson said with a righteous face, even more serious than the members of Congress.
Although the name of the charitable foundation contains the word "charity", Henry would not believe it anyway.
What Wilson did not explain is that helping to introduce jobs is itself profitable.
If the Phyllis Foundation is regarded as an intermediary, the behavior of the foundation can be easily explained.
In France right now, unemployed people cannot find jobs.
And companies that really need people to work also cannot find suitable workers.
The war lasted for five years, and France was in a state of occupation for more than four years. The Vichy government had collapsed, all materials were destroyed, and reconstruction work was very difficult.
The Phyllis Foundation is indeed very powerful. In automobile factories, there are many skilled workers and experienced engineers. These people do not need training at all and can find new jobs immediately. If they are willing,
There are even opportunities to work in Southern Africa.
Workers who are only familiar with manual labor can easily find jobs. They have been unemployed for such a long time. On the one hand, it is because the society has not stabilized, and on the other hand, they have credulously believed in the promises of the union, so they are trapped in the Renault car factory.
Some people who are picky will be immediately disqualified. Nowadays, there are many jobs that are in high demand. If you don’t take them, there will be others who will take them.
This situation was immediately reported to Felix Guin, who immediately went to see Leonard.
Douglas needed to make an appointment to see Leonard, but Felix Guin did not.
"You promised to resume work at the Renault Automobile Factory as soon as possible, and only then did the workers at the Renault Automobile Factory agree to take over the factory -" Felix Guin assumed the posture of launching an attack on the enemy and became aggressive from the beginning.
"I did promise and worked hard for it. Unfortunately, it was precisely because of the workers' obstruction that the factory could not resume work. Next, do you want to ask me why the workers obstructed it? I can tell you the answer now, because there is a group of
The damn bitches are constantly looking for trouble. Some people are trying to obtain power and benefits that do not belong to them, and they are the reason." Leonard cursed, without caring about Felix's identity.
The bullies in Leonard's words also include Felix Guin.
"Shouldn't the workers' legitimate needs be met?" Felix Guin gritted his teeth and endured. Arguing would not help solve any problems.
The election has not yet started. No matter how rogue Leonard is, he is still the prime minister of the interim government. Felix Guin must give Leonard the respect he deserves.
If Felix Guin had a big fight with Leonard in his office, that would be exactly what Leonard wanted.
"Legitimate needs should of course be met, but what about illegal ones?" Leonard is also a decent person. Since Felix Gouin doesn't take up the issue, he should be reasonable.
"It's not you who decides whether it's legitimate or not." Felix Guin was not fooled.
"Then who do you think has the final say?" Leonard dug in.
"Of course the workers have the final say!" Felix Guin was forced into a corner.
"Why don't the workers buy the factory with their own money, and then they can do whatever they want?" Leonard sneered. Opening a factory is not a charity.
Felix Guin was speechless.
If workers have money to buy the factory, why should they still work in the factory?
"As the Prime Minister of the provisional government, you should be responsible for the workers in the factory." Felix Gouin resorted to a murderous weapon. In the past, as long as he said these words, he would be invincible.
In a democratic country, politicians gain their power from votes.
Therefore, if you offend the votes, you must not say anything, otherwise you will end your future.
"When you become the master of this palace, don't say this again!" Leonard was not worried about this problem.
The election will not be held until next year at least.
Even if it is held as scheduled, given the current situation in France, the probability of the Communist International winning is much greater than that of any other party. Therefore, even if Reynard takes out all his property and divides it equally among French workers, French workers will not vote for Reynard.
Unless the Communist International proves with facts, they have no ability to lead France to move forward.
"Do you dare to say this to reporters?" Felix Guin made another killing move.
"Of course!" Leonard said decisively.
Felix Guin still had resources, and that afternoon, Leonard received an interview request from Le Internationale.
"Internationale" is a newspaper founded by the Communist International. It has good sales and has a relatively large influence in France.
The high sales volume is not due to how neutral and objective the reports of "Internationale" are, but entirely because of the low price. "Le Figaro" has calculated that with the selling price of "Internationale", it cannot even recover the cost.
A newspaper's profit depends partly on sales and partly on advertising.
"Internationale" is a newspaper founded by the Communist International. It has very few advertisements. Without this part of the income, it is indeed unable to make ends meet.
However, "International" did not cease operations due to continuous losses, but its circulation increased.
For a business that is already losing money, the larger the circulation, the more it will lose.
However, the Communist International was not worried. They founded "International" not to make money at all.
As the Prime Minister of the interim government, Leonard cannot refuse the interview request of "International", otherwise the editor of "International" will take advantage of this to make a big fuss.
Leonard was also smart. While agreeing to be interviewed by International Newspaper, he also extended invitations to many other media outlets and directly expanded the individual interview into a press conference.
"You may not know how much competitive pressure French companies face -" Reynard poured out his bitter words, completely different from the arrogance he showed when facing Felix Gouin.
"In the automotive industry alone, we face competition from both Southern African car companies and American car companies. Southern African car companies and American car companies have lower raw material prices and lower wages than us -" Leonard said
It is a fact. This is the advantage brought by industrial scale.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Prime Minister, workers at Nyasaland Motors and Ford Motors receive higher wages than Renault, how can they have lower wages?" The reporter from "International" lacked respect for Leonard and directly
Interrupting Leonard.
"Can't you wait for Mr. Prime Minister to finish speaking before asking questions? This is the most basic courtesy. If it happens again a second time, please leave!" Leonard smiled and said nothing, and the staff responsible for maintaining the order of the interview scolded him directly.
.
That's right. As the Prime Minister, how can he be as knowledgeable as such a small character?
"Although you are not polite enough, I can still answer your question -" Leonard's manner was personable, which perfectly matched the European country's positioning of gentlemen.
"Workers' wages have a great relationship with efficiency. If enough goods are produced per unit time, the cost will be reduced. Specifically for cars, in 1913, Ford Motor began to implement assembly lines and could produce one every 10 seconds.
Cars, Renault cars, okay?" When it comes to industrial production, this is Leonard's area of expertise.
"What Renault is best at is producing trucks -" the reporter from "International" muttered in a low voice, for fear of being kicked out.
"Let's talk about trucks. The trucks produced by Nyasaland Heavy Industries have an approved cargo capacity of ten tons and a maximum speed of 100 kilometers per hour. Can the trucks produced by Renault do it?" Leonard secretly changed the concept and Nyasaland Heavy Industries
A truck with a full load of ten tons cannot really reach a speed of 100 kilometers per hour.
"It's normal for workers to want to earn more money. Everyone wants to earn more money. I also think that I hope my monthly salary can reach 1 million francs. Unfortunately, if I can't do that, the provisional government will go bankrupt."
——" Leonard is down-to-earth and hopes that in the media's portrayal, he is a real person, rather than the arrogant richest man and prime minister.
"As the French Prime Minister, I hope to provide all French people with the happiest life in the world. This is also my responsibility. Please give me some time and give me more trust. I will return a miracle to all French people." Lei
Nader has fully learned from Mustache's experience. It doesn't matter whether he can do it or not. The cake must be round and big.
"Regarding the Renault car factory, all of us are working hard to reach a distribution plan that satisfies everyone. This must be based on the premise of a balance of interests. Corporate investors must ensure the return of due benefits before they will be motivated.
If you invest in more companies, workers should also get reasonable returns, so they will work harder." Leonard's direction is very clear. It's not that I don't want to give up profits, but that the other side is too greedy.
While Renard was holding a press conference, Felix Guin was facing an investigation by the interim government.
France has very strict monitoring of social funds. Organizations like the Communist International with large amounts of unknown sources of funds have always been the focus of monitoring by the French government.
When Edouard Daladier came to power, he disbanded the French Communist International on the grounds that the source of funds was unknown.
Now that the Comintern is back, the Provisional Government is once again concerned about the sources of funding for the Comintern, and Félix Gouin is invited to tea by de Gaulle.
"The Communist International's funds come from social donations, and every donation is well documented and there are no problems." Felix Guin is confident that the Communist International has suffered a loss on this issue once and will not repeat the same mistake.
"It's just a routine investigation. As long as there are no problems, there is no need to worry -" De Gaulle smiled. It is not up to you to decide whether there are any problems.
Some things, if they are not weighed on the scale, they will not weigh more than four ounces. Once they are put on the scale, they will not weigh more than a thousand kilograms.
Even if there is no problem, as long as the investigation is spread, it will become a problem.
"Since this is a routine investigation, why not investigate the Democratic Alliance, why not investigate the Socialist Party, and why not investigate the Center Party?" Felix Gouin said seriously. It was obvious that this was a counterattack by the French conservative forces.
The French tend towards democracy, but it is by no means the Russian democracy, nor the American democracy. If they really want to imitate these two things, France's overseas colonies will be in danger.
France has its own national conditions. After the founding of the First Republic, Napoleon could still proclaim himself emperor. Later, he was restored, and then he established the Second Empire. The swings were severe. Essentially, the French would accept whichever method was most beneficial to France.
.
Therefore, it is normal for the Communist International to gain the greatest support in France. This does not mean the failure of conservative forces. Time will tell everything.
The Southern African Expeditionary Force on the Rhine River had no time to waste. There was no suspense in defeating Kesselring. The suspense lay in which army captured Berlin, the heart of Germany.
So before the battle on the Rhine ended, Patton and Jan Smuts decided to send airborne troops to raid Berlin.
According to the Allied internal agreement, Patton routinely notified the British and American coalition forces before the launch of the battle.
"Occupying Berlin is an honor that belongs to all of us, and the British army will never be absent!" Montgomery had a firm attitude and immediately came to Patton's headquarters to express his determination.
"The 1st Airborne Division suffered heavy losses in the Netherlands. Do you still have the ability to dispatch airborne troops now?" Patton revealed the scar. According to southern African standards, the British 1st Airborne Division was on the verge of disbandment.
According to regulations, if a certain unit in southern Africa is completely wiped out in battle, it will be disbanded.
However, this kind of thing has never happened in southern Africa since its independence until now.
The UK is different.
No matter how badly the British troops fought and how serious their losses were, they would not disband their troops even if they were rebuilt again and again.
This is not because the British army is brave, but because the members of the army are different.
Troops made up of real British people will basically not fight until they run out of ammunition and food. They can give up resistance after fulfilling their obligations. It is a tradition.
It's much better now. If you lost the fight before, your family can redeem the person as long as they recognize the money.
Those troops that are constantly being rebuilt are, without exception, composed of colonial soldiers, such as India, the Anzac Corps, and Canada.
These colonial servant armies are not all composed of white people. For example, the British-Indian army has white officers and all soldiers are Indians. It doesn't matter if the entire army is wiped out, it can just be rebuilt.
The 1st Airborne Division is not.
"Of course, the British Empire has never been afraid of sacrifice, and we will fight to the last man." Montgomery said ambitiously.
"Come on, you will indeed fight to the last man, the last Frenchman -" the comments from the allies were the sharpest.
