2598 The end of the industry

 ., Update the latest chapters as soon as possible!

To be able to defeat Winston in the election, Attlee certainly has his own merits.

Southern Africa and the United Kingdom are allies, but they are also competitors. Attlee has to face not only competition from allies, but also counterattacks from domestic conservative parties.

Attlee is a pragmatic person, and his primary and secondary conflicts are very clear. With the rapid decline of British power, let alone southern Africa, the United Kingdom does not have an advantage compared with the United States and Russia. At this time, stabilizing the domestic basic market becomes

Top priority.

From another perspective, Attlee's concession is actually a continuation of Britain's strategic contraction.

After the Second Boer War, British national policy shifted from strategic expansion to strategic contraction, and the entire process was passive.

The UK is certainly unwilling to strategically retract if possible.

However, Britain's national strength no longer allows it to maintain its global hegemony, so it has no choice but to give in step by step and shift its strategic focus to Europe.

Nowadays, even the continental balancing policy in the UK is beyond its capabilities, so Attlee cleverly pushed Southern Africa and the United States to the sidelines, while the UK retreated to the British Isles and watched from the other side.

In Attlee's view, didn't Roark and Truman show their ambition towards Europe?

Then give the stage to Roark and Truman, and let southern Africa and the United States replace the United Kingdom in containing Russia. This is the approach that best serves the interests of the United Kingdom.

This is the biggest difference between Winston and Attlee.

Winston was born into the traditional British aristocracy, while Attlee was from a middle-class family.

Attlee received modern education all the way. After graduating from Oxford University College, he became a lawyer and completed the leap from ordinary people to the elite. Later, he joined the Independent Labor Party, understood the sufferings of the people, and knew what the British needed most.

Winston is a top noble. He received an elite education since he was a child. Not to mention being raised in a deep palace, there is an insurmountable class gap between him and the common people, so Winston knows what Britain needs.

It is easy to give the entrance to the Black Sea to the Russians, but it is difficult to take it back.

When Winston was Prime Minister, he could not stay in Roque's private residence for too long because he had to avoid suspicion.

Now that Winston has resigned, no one will comment when he stays at Rock's place at night, so Rock calls Stoudemire over to keep him company that night and holds a small welcome dinner for Winston.

The scale is really small, except for Rock and Winston, there is only one guest, Xiao Si.

Stoudemire and Winston are also old friends. They don't have any taboos in speaking, and they always ridicule each other.

"How did you lose to that guy from the Labor Party? That guy looks useless!" Stoudemire laughed.

Attlee's slogan is still very inspiring, but unfortunately it is unlikely to be realized.

The UK's current national strength is limited, so it has to make choices on many issues.

Attlee chose people's livelihood.

If we want to focus on people's livelihood, then we have to neglect national defense construction, and maybe more than half of the Royal Navy will be abolished.

But once the Royal Navy is abolished, Britain's control over overseas colonies will plummet, and the consequences for Britain seem to be more serious.

"Haha——" Winston looked at Roark and sneered silently.

Luo Ke was even more speechless. What does your talk have to do with me?

It really does matter.

Southern Africa has set a very bad example for other countries around the world on many issues.

Like Roosevelt, Attlee was in many ways inspired by southern Africa.

Roosevelt fully referred to Southern Africa's experience in dealing with the economic crisis and led the United States successfully out of the Great Depression.

What Attlee needs to learn is to build a welfare society. In this regard, Southern Africa is also at the forefront of the world.

According to the classification of scholars, the welfare model in southern Africa is a residual type. This model is characterized by low social assistance standards implemented by the state, which only ensures the most basic survival of the poor, and implements strict regulations on assistance recipients.

Attlee's personal policy agenda went further than that of southern Africa. He believed that poverty was mainly the responsibility of the state or society. Therefore, during this period, the state's assistance standards for the poor should be relatively standardized, reasonable and even generous. Not only

To ensure the basic survival of the poor, we must also maintain their personal dignity as much as possible.

The pros and cons of the two models will not be discussed here. Attlee's model seems to be more humane than that of southern Africa. If it is popularized, it may cause the national finance to be overwhelmed and welfare dependence to breed.

"Not only the social welfare system, the Labor Party is also promoting nationalization, focusing on finance, resources, transportation, steel, etc." Every time Winston said a word, Stoudemire's face became ugly.

This is also in the UK.

If Attlee becomes prime minister in southern Africa, Stoudemire would probably have every intention of killing Attlee.

Each of the industries that Winston just mentioned struck a chord in Stoudemire's heart. They are all core industries of the Rhodes family.

"That's not possible -" Rock was surprised and didn't know how Attlee should proceed.

After the end of World War I, southern Africa also began to promote nationalization, with remarkable results and huge profits for federal governments at all levels.

When you have money, you can invest more.

The more projects you invest in, the more profits you get. This is a perfect positive cycle. At present, most of the industries of the three major families of Locke, Rhodes, and Matilda basically have shares of the federal government.

This was of course only achieved on the premise of Rock's initiative to make concessions.

Stoudemire and Henry were also influenced by Rock, so they accepted funding from the federal government.

Attlee is not a capitalist, he is the leader of the Labor Party. If his family is extremely wealthy, how can he lead the millions of working class people in Britain?

"It's probably impossible that I don't know. What I know is that the Prime Minister and his Labor Party have offended all the members of the House of Lords." Winston recalled Roque's words during the Tehran meeting with a strange expression.

During the Tehran Conference, the French and Italian Communist International organizations had the upper hand, and Winston was deeply worried about this.

If France and Italy also become working-class countries, the situation will completely collapse.

Rock's opinion was exactly opposite to Winston's.

The Communist International organizations in these European countries have no enthusiasm and lack of experience, and they have no idea how to manage a country.

Therefore, Rock's advice to Winston at the time was that it was the mules or the horses that came out to ride, and when this wave of craze passed, all countries would naturally get back on the right track.

It is actually very simple to defeat Attlee. As long as Attlee is in the Prime Minister's position, Winston and the Conservative Party will have many ways.

If you can't solve the problem, then you can't solve the problem as well.

If Attlee wants to govern, all aspects require money. Without the cooperation of the Conservative Party and the House of Lords, Attlee will be unable to move forward.

"Then kill him, what are you waiting for?" Xiaosi said simply and rudely.

Or just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.

Americans will kill the president if they are unhappy, and the British also guillotined their king.

Winston looked at Stoudemire as if he were an idiot.

Killing Attlee would not only be meaningless, but it would also improve Attlee's image in the minds of the British and make Attlee forever remembered by the British.

Only by discrediting Attlee will the British permanently abandon the Labor Party and regain the throne of Prime Minister.

Stoudemire is a good hand in business.

Politically as naive as Attlee.

"You're several dozen years old, don't just fight and kill people." Rock didn't mind Stoudemire's way, so he kept doing it. Rock had already died hundreds of times.

Rock's reputation in southern Africa is much higher than Attlee's in the UK, and he belongs to the category of being invincible and lonely.

Even though Roque is now over 60 years old, as long as Roque decides to continue running for election, no one can shake Roque's dominant position.

When it is so strong, the best way is to destroy it physically.

"How is the alliance going?" Stoudemire actually doesn't care about the life and death of the British, he only cares about his own business.

Rock looked shocked.

I have been so busy these past few days that Rock didn't even think about it.

After all, we are getting old and it is normal for our memory to decline.

Stoudemire is not angry either, he believes that Rock has a way to solve this problem.

In Stoudemire's opinion, Rock is God.

It was not appropriate for Rock to come forward directly on this matter, so Rock asked Alvin to come forward to find out what the Russians were saying.

Alvin couldn't see the bearded man, so he went to find Molotov.

Alvin also carries the title of baron and is Rock's son, so he met Molotov smoothly.

"I heard that you discovered a diamond mine in Eastern Siberia?" Alvin only got five minutes and had to hurry up.

Molotov was busy with his duties as the People's Commissar of Foreign Affairs, so he was willing to meet Alvin for Rock's sake.

"How did you know?" Molotov looked ugly.

Not long after the diamond mine was discovered, and Molotov didn't know much about the situation, Alvin, the intelligence chief of Brad's office, took the initiative to find him.

This speaks volumes about the capabilities of Brad's office.

It truly deserves its reputation.

"You know, all the diamonds in the world belong to the Rhodes family in southern Africa." Alvin's words were not very polite. At least the diamonds in Russia do not belong to Stoudemire.

"Oh, it won't be the case soon -" Molotov did not deny it, and was still thinking about which link caused the problem.

"Do you know how to mine diamonds? Do you know how to cut diamonds? Do you know how to sell diamonds to customers?" Alvin's series of questions left Molotov speechless.

Everything else is fine.

The Russians are really not good at selling diamonds to customers.

The key point is that there are not many people in Russia who can afford to consume diamonds, and this is exactly what the Rhodes family is best at.

"If you are willing to hand over the diamond mine to the Rhodes family, then the Russian government can fully enjoy the profits from diamond sales." Alvin Kang admitted that it is not often that you can make money with just your words.

"That's impossible." Molotov refused decisively.

How to mine, how to process, who to look down on, the Russians' artistic talent is not only extraordinary, it can also be said that no one can match it.

If you think about the ingenious Russian Easter eggs and the magnificent buildings in Moscow, you will know that the Russian people's aesthetics are online.

"Well, I'm just reminding you that it would be a pity if you discovered a giant diamond mine but couldn't get any profit from it." Alvin tried his best to make another plan.

"You want to obtain the right to operate the diamond mine and continue to maintain the monopoly profits in the diamond industry - stop dreaming, everything is over." Molotov is not threatened, as long as the Rhodes family's diamonds can be sold

, Russian diamonds can also be sold at a good price.

It really doesn't work. The Rhodes family's diamonds sell for one thousand rand per carat, and the Russian diamonds sell for five hundred rands, but no one wants them!

Anyway, they are all dug out of the ground, and they are essentially stones. The Rhodes family has worked tirelessly for decades to brainwash them, and they may have finally benefited the Russians.

"Oh, how is it possible? This matter hasn't even happened yet. It's far from over." Alvin said in a grand manner. Alvin really didn't like the little money he spent to buy diamonds.

The joint operation is just a test. Rock wants to see how far the Russians have grown and whether they can be saved.

Russia had no rand reserves, and the bearded man did not want to pay in gold, so during the world war, southern Africa and Russia agreed on a barter transaction method.

Specifically, it means exchanging Russian resources for aid from Southern Africa.

Russia is rich in resources, but they are either spread above ground or bought underground, and investment is needed to realize them.

The original agreement between Southern Africa and Russia was that Southern Africa would fund the construction and manage it by Southern African companies. After the Southern African federal government recovered all principal and profits, the Russian government would get a lot of high-quality companies for free.

.

Now, although Big Beard did not deny it, he was trying to delay it and refused to start work, which made Rock very unhappy.

"Do you know how many diamond reserves there are in Mir Mine?" As soon as Molotov finished speaking, he realized something was wrong.

Alvin smiled meaningfully.

Is the diamond mine in Mir?

Although Alvin doesn't know where Mir is, there must be someone inside Brad who knows.

"No matter how many there are, if you think that you can compete with the Rhodes family for the market by owning a diamond mine, then you are wrong -" Alvin really didn't know that he even had the name "Mir" just today.

I heard that Bullard's office could only confirm that the location of the mine was in Eastern Siberia.

The area of ​​Eastern Siberia is really huge, with a total area of ​​4.12 million square kilometers. Finding a diamond mine in such a large area is tantamount to wishful thinking.

Finding this kind of mine generally requires some luck.

Just like the Transvaal farmer, he could extract a piece of naturally occurring nugget gold by just kicking it while walking, and thus the world-famous Rand Mining Area was established.

"Try it!" Molotov said without any harsh words. Don't underestimate the determination of the Russians.

The last one I looked down on just committed suicide not long ago.

"You don't need to try, I can tell you the process now -" Alvin was confident. In terms of capital, Southern Africa is really not afraid of anyone: "-I can guarantee that when the first Russian diamond appears on the market

, is the end of this industry.”
