If the Japanese wanted to be shameless, they wouldn't have so many ridiculous and shameless jokes.
On the matter of black history, all countries have it, but Japan can do it to a jaw-dropping degree. This country really has no bottom line. Americans can still use arrogance to describe it, but it is difficult to use a specific word for Japan.
To describe it, you have to go to the dictionary and find out all the derogatory words.
For Li Jia, trying to suppress Japan is just a facilitation. The focus is to create greater public pressure on the United States. Doesn’t the United States want to replace the United Kingdom and become the new “empire on which the sun never sets”? If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. American morality
The standards must also be raised appropriately, and we can no longer hold ourselves to the previous standards.
The international influence of "Singapore Daily" is limited and requires the intervention of external forces in order to have a large enough influence.
The Times is much more influential than the Lion City Daily. After Li Jia’s interview was published in The Times, the tragic experience of the Manila girl attracted greater attention around the world, and the pressure on Washington doubled.
.
Countless reporters flocked to Whitehall to hear what Truman thought of this issue.
Truman did not respond immediately, nor did he deliberately escape, but went to southern Africa.
This is Truman's first visit to southern Africa since he became president of the United States.
As the two countries with the best performance in the world war, the United States and southern Africa had many issues that required in-depth communication between Truman and Rock.
Rock welcomed Truman's visit and held a welcome ceremony for Truman at the Palace of Justice.
The grand occasion of the welcome ceremony does not need to be described in detail. No matter how much Rock disliked Truman, he would have given Truman the standard of reception he deserved. Truman was still very curious about southern Africa. Pretoria was only the first stop, and he would go to Nigeria next.
Asalan, that is the center of southern Africa.
This "center" is not only geographically, but also economically and culturally. Although Los Angeles is not the capital of Southern Africa, it is the largest city in Southern Africa, the first in every sense.
"When President Roosevelt was alive, Southern Africa and the United States maintained close relations and signed a series of cooperation agreements. We should continue to deepen cooperation on this basis to achieve our common goals." Truman looked forward to this trip to Southern Africa.
Quite high, just like in Roosevelt's time, southern Africa and the United States still share extensive common interests.
For example, continue to poach the UK.
Another example is the confrontation with Russia in Europe and East Asia.
As for Africa and South America, both southern Africa and the United States have maintained a certain degree of restraint. The United States has not extended its hands to southern Africa, and southern Africa has not expanded its interests in South America.
"Of course, this is what we have always insisted on -" Rock's response was not very positive. You must be careful when making friends with Americans. It is more dangerous than becoming allies with the British.
The biggest worry about being an ally with the British is that they may be abandoned at any time.
Making friends with Americans carries the risk of cutting corners.
One side comes from the enemy, and the other side comes from the United States.
The two world wars vividly demonstrated the selfishness of Americans, and Europeans understood it deeply.
There was another time and space when Europe had to rely on the United States. That was when it was weak in the face of the Russian threat and had to rely on the United States to counter Russian pressure.
Not to mention other countries, neither Winston of the United Kingdom nor De Gaulle of France looked like a fool at that time. It was not that they did not know the consequences of being attached to the United States. However, considering that under the influence of Russia, the consequences of changes would be more serious, so they only
Can seek skin from a tiger.
As long as there is a second option, smart people like Winston and de Gaulle will not be able to ask for American assistance.
This is also the reason why Truman took the initiative to come to southern Africa.
The war in Europe is now over, and post-war reconstruction has become the theme. Compared with arms sales, this is another big piece of cake. If Americans want to take a bite, they must first seek the consent of southern Africa.
If Rock is unwilling to share this piece of profit with the Americans, the cake will become tasteless, tasteless and a pity to throw away.
"The fierce competition between the enterprises of our two countries will only give Europeans the opportunity to profit from it, and will seriously damage the interests of our two countries' enterprises. On the contrary, if we can reach an agreement and maintain a certain profit level, then we will be the best
"A good partner." Truman was very straightforward, and it was Roark who he wanted to ask for on this issue.
Let’s not talk about the UK. For a large number of continental European countries, under the same conditions, European countries are more willing to accept help from southern Africa and will not leave the opportunity to the Americans.
During the two world wars, Southern Africa remained the same from the beginning to the end. It was not like the United States that fought against both sides, fearing that the world war would not start.
It can be said that the United States has to bear a lot of responsibility for Europe's decline to what it is today. No matter how stupid or naive Europeans are, it's time for them to come back to their senses.
This cannot be blamed on Americans for being greedy. Europeans have also brought it upon themselves, being cut off by Americans over and over again. The United States cannot be as brilliant as it is today without the blood transfusions of old Europe.
There are consequences for cutting leeks. What Truman and the American capital behind him are most worried about now is bottom-line competition among Southern African enterprises, which will be a disaster for the profit-hungry American capital.
"Before the Pearl Harbor incident in 1941, the United States did not stop trade with Germany and Japan. How can I trust your sincerity now?" Rock also bluntly said that the United States is not trustworthy for southern Africa.
The trade with Germany is just that, and the losses in southern Africa are not big.
The trade with Japan directly touches Roque's restricted area. It is impossible to say that Roque does not hold grudges.
"Locke, you know, Washington has limited influence over New York, just like Pretoria has over Los Angeles -" Truman hoped that Locke could understand the embarrassment of the American president.
Translation of this sentence means that the President of the United States cannot control Wall Street capitalists, the President serves the capitalists.
This sentence sounds correct. National leaders are meant to serve the country.
But if you think about it more deeply, can capital represent the country and the interests of all citizens? Then this becomes a false proposition.
"No, no, no, Pretoria is the capital of Southern Africa, and Los Angeles must also accept the management of Pretoria." Rock disagreed, Southern Africa is not the United States.
Truman overlooked one thing. Roque is not only the prime minister of Southern Africa, but also the largest capitalist in Southern Africa. Los Angeles is Roque’s base camp, and Pretoria is Roque’s office. New York and Washington are
Two different things.
If you don't care about geography, some people may think that New York is the capital of the United States.
Los Angeles has never been the capital of southern Africa. It is more appropriately described as the uncrowned king.
"What I just said is also the common will of all us Americans." Truman looked serious. If Rock did not give in, Truman would not be able to explain to Wall Street.
Truman was not willing to leave a note on the presidential list in the name of Roosevelt's successor. He would run for office in three years. If he offended Wall Street, Truman might not even pass the party primary.
No.
In the United States, Truman was clearly lagging behind New York Governor Thomas Dewey.
Only if Truman's trip to southern Africa was fruitful could Truman be qualified to compete with Thomas Dewey.
Even this did not guarantee Truman's victory.
"Congratulations, you finally got the key to the Whitehall door." Rock's congratulations made Truman confused.
Truman may have been the first American president to truly take a civilian approach in American history.
Although the US president has always been elected by popular vote, in fact almost all US presidents before Truman followed a business line. The feelings of ordinary Americans have limited influence on the outcome of the presidential election.
Thomas Dewey was a presidential candidate who was withdrawn by the American elite under the traditional business model.
In another time and space, Truman, facing the pressure of Thomas Dewey, had to leave the presidential office and travel to various parts of the United States to lobby and try his best to win the votes of ordinary people.
Truman almost reached the extreme. He took the train and gave speeches at every train station. He truly walked from the TV and radio to ordinary Americans, promoted himself to ordinary Americans, and won the votes of the bottom Americans, thus defeating Thomas in one fell swoop.
·Dewey.
Roark doesn’t hate the United States so much as he hates the Wall Street tycoons. They are truly blood-sucking parasites on the United States. If Truman cannot abandon or try to reduce Wall Street’s influence on Whitehall, then Roark will not improve his relationship with the United States.
American attitude.
It is useless to treat the United States step by step. We have to take advantage of his illness to kill him and not give him any chance to make a comeback.
Regardless of whether Truman truly understood the way to win the hearts and minds of the people, Rock then showed Truman the relationship between the Southern African federal government and Southern African capital.
How can capital become the driving force behind the country? That is the way to death. The correct model should be to complement each other and achieve mutual success, so that we can make progress together.
The first thing Rock introduced to Truman was the railway in southern Africa.
The development method of railways in Southern Africa is similar to that in the United States. Private capital is introduced to intervene, and the power of capital is used to complete the laying of railways and connect the entire country together.
In order to attract capital intervention, both southern Africa and the United States have ceded part of their interests to capital, using land on both sides of the railway as bait to attract capital investment in railway construction, and achieved good results.
The difference lies in what happens after the rail network is laid.
After the construction of the U.S. railway network is completed, it is operated by private railway companies. It is difficult for the federal government at all levels in the United States to intervene. Railway companies can continue to exert influence by virtue of their railway operating rights.
The federal government of Southern Africa has gradually acquired shares from private railway companies a long time ago, and gradually transferred railway operating rights from private hands to the federal government. Now the operating rights of most railways in Southern Africa are controlled by federal governments at all levels.
In the hands of private railway companies, their influence is becoming less and less and they are becoming more and more marginalized.
The "marginalization" here is the literal meaning.
"Building railways cannot be completed overnight. In West Africa and Tanganyika, private railway companies are still building railways at the cost of the land on both sides of the railways and the right to operate them for a period of time. Infrastructure construction like railways,
How can private companies be allowed to control it for a long time? That will affect the control of the federal government." Rock was also conflicted and didn't know whether he should remind Truman.
From the perspective of southern Africa, the more chaotic and problematic the United States is, the more beneficial it will be to southern Africa. From this perspective, Rock can completely compromise, make a lot of promises, happily send Truman back to the United States for business, and be slow to look back.
Slowly dig a hole for the Americans.
There are certainly benefits to reminding Truman.
If Truman attacks the private railway companies in the United States after returning to the United States, the private railway companies in the United States will not be able to sit idly by. It would be better for both sides to suffer losses. That is the most beneficial result for southern Africa.
Therefore, Roark did not introduce to Truman the role played by the Nyasaland Company and the Rhodesia Company when the Southern African federal government took back the railway operating rights.
The boss of Nyasaland Company is Roque, and the boss of Rhodesia Company is Xiaosi. These two companies have the largest number of railway operating rights in Southern Africa. When the railway network was laid in Southern Africa, they played an incomparable role.
The role of substitution.
When the federal government of Southern Africa took back the right to operate the railway, the Nyasaland Company and the Rhodesia Company did not resist at all, and even actively cooperated. Other small companies were able to solve the problem easily and completed this task without any blood. This is almost impossible in capital countries.
possible tasks.
The reason is also very simple.
Roque and Xiaosi, whether based on personal interests or family interests, have been deeply bound to the interests of the Southern African federal government to the point of being inseparable. The stronger the Southern African federal government is, the more powerful Roque and Xiaosi will be.
Sri Lanka's interests can be more effectively guaranteed.
This is not the case for American private railroad companies.
As we all know, the Hebrews have no nationality. They can run away at any time if they can no longer live in a country. We should not have too high expectations for the loyalty of the Hebrews.
"When President Roosevelt was in office, we worked hard to disperse the influence of private enterprises on the country, but as you know, the situation in the United States is different from that in southern Africa." Truman was not stupid. The southern African way may not be suitable for the United States.
The influence of trusts on the United States is much greater than the influence of Whitehall on the United States.
So there is no need to read the jokes made by people from the Peninsula. This is how Renqin’s father has become a beacon of light step by step.
With Roosevelt's influence on the United States, when facing the American trusts, he could only disperse them and not beat them to death with one stick, otherwise the United States would fall into chaos, a consequence that Roosevelt could not bear.
Again, in the face of the constraints of the U.S. government, U.S. companies cannot sit still and wait for death. When Rockefeller took the initiative to break up, it only completed the formal decentralization. In fact, not only did his control power not decrease, but it was enhanced in disguise.
