After the Battle of Port Hedland, the Perth City Government was forced to recognize the status of Port Hedland and no longer put obstacles in the way of Port Hedland's export of mineral products. All additional taxes were cancelled. At the same time, the Western Australian Parliament recognized Jack's
The legal rule of Port Hedland, and at the same time, 30% of the seats in the Parliament are reserved for Port Hedland based on the population of Port Hedland.
The total population of Western Australia is now 850,000, of which the population of Port Hedland has exceeded 200,000, second only to Perth with 500,000 people. Port Hedland has also become the de facto second largest city in Western Australia.
, since the status of Port Hedland is recognized, the Hedlanders must be treated accordingly, otherwise Jack will not lift the state of war.
That means Port Hedland will not pay even one shilling in tax to the Western Australian government.
This was unacceptable to the Western Australian government, which also needed Port Hedland's tax revenue to make up for the financial gap, especially this time for pre-war loans and post-war pensions for the formation of the expeditionary force.
Against this background, Jack was invited by the Western Australian government to go to the Parth Parliament and prepare to exercise his rights.
The composition of the Western Australian government parliament is still very complicated. The Labor Socialist Party is the dominant party, and there are more than a dozen other parties. With 30% of the parliamentary seats in Port Hedland, it has actually become the largest party in the parliament. If
Jack can find some allies, and Jack can even become governor of Western Australia.
There is definitely no shortage of allies. Even if the Labor Party and the Socialist Party will not cooperate with Jack, those members of small political parties who would never come to power will take the initiative to join in. Not to mention Timothy, who has an agreement with Jack.
Within the Western Australian Parliament, there were many members who were opposed to the formation of the expeditionary force. Now that the expeditionary force has suffered a disastrous defeat, there are even more members who are dissatisfied with the Western Australian government's rash actions. Of course, it is impossible for all of these people to cooperate with Jack, but
As long as he wins part of it, Jack can get an absolute majority in the parliament.
Democracy is such a good thing
Against this background, Jack was attacked in Pas. There is no need to investigate who the murderer is. All the murderers have been killed on the spot. It is not easy to determine who is behind the scenes, but it is not easy to determine the scope.
Disaster.
If Jack succeeds in controlling the Western Australian Parliament, whoever's interests will be harmed the most will be the mastermind.
After all, it was the Labor Party that planned the attack on Jack.
However, the suspicion of the Socialist Party cannot be ruled out. Perhaps the Socialist Party is deliberately provoking a dispute between Jack and the Labor Party, and then benefiting from it.
With so many thoughts tangled in his mind, Qin Zhiyuan frowned when he returned to the room, trying to deal with William II and Poongarai who were hurting each other.
Although William II is already dim-sighted, he has been the emperor for decades and has become very good at observing people's words. Poincarai is a veteran in politics. If Qin Zhiyuan doesn't take the initiative to talk about it, Poincarai will definitely not ask.
Therefore, both William II and Poincaré focused on hurting each other, and there was only a thin line between the intensity and real PK.
The focus of the dispute between Poincaré and William II was still focused on the World War. What William II regretted was that he was not resolute enough. If the German troops had followed the strategy formulated by William II, they would have taken Paris and driven out all the French.
Entering the Mediterranean and making dumplings. Poincaré laughed at the arrogance of William II and used the current situation of the Germans as a script to sneer at William II. Of course, the topic will inevitably turn to the future, William II said
One day in the future, Germany will rise again, and then it will avenge its disgrace. Poincaré said that the Germans will never have a chance. With Lanfang as a powerful ally, France is confident to deal with any challenge.
Raymond, there is an issue you must pay attention to. Everything you two said is based on the premise that Germany will rise again. It seems that this has reached a consensus. So now the question you two need to consider is how to face it.
The situation after Germany's re-emergence, whether Germany will repeat the same mistakes and whether France still has the confidence to fight another world war. Qin Zhiyuan hit the nail on the head.
Upon hearing Qin Zhiyuan's words, both William II and Poungale fell silent.
Repeating the same mistakes again is a serious topic.
One thing is certain, no matter how much the Germans hate the British, if it develops on the current trajectory and the British have changed their attitude, France alone will definitely not be able to contain the rise of Germany, and once Germany rises again
After that, the first one to deal with will definitely be France.
Although in the last world war, it was precisely because of Britain's sparing no efforts that Germany failed, but for now, the Germans hate the French even more.
To be honest, I hate war, I really hate it, but everyone has the right to pursue a better life, and Germany also needs its own living space. If Germany has enough strength, why can't Germany achieve an international status that matches its strength? There was a long silence.
, William II finally spoke his true feelings for the rare occasion.
Perhaps when he launched the world war, William II was indeed ambitious and was not prepared with the corresponding mentality to adapt to the rapidly increasing national power. But after the failure of the world war, his exile in the Netherlands, and his being forgotten in Lanfang
, William II must have reflected.
This reason is not sufficient. Of course, Germans have the right to pursue a better life, but it cannot be based on harming others. If you want to pursue a better life, you have to make concessions from the French and English people. That is not good for France and England.
Unfair. Qin Zhiyuan continues to be merciless, and the crisis between Paz and Gal Yang makes Qin Zhiyuan not too patient.
Yes, the existing world structure has been formed and will continue to be maintained. All countries and individuals who want to challenge this system will be severely attacked by the world. Therefore, even if Germany rises again, there may be twists and turns in the process, but
This result will not change. Puengale immediately found a reason and waved his arms to add convincingness to his words.
This is also a wishful thinking. People in the colonies cannot be slaves forever. Even if they want to, they cannot withstand the instigation of some people. Now the relationship between the mother country and the colonies has become a fire and water. As long as there is external force penetration, even a spark will
It will become a prairie fire. Qin Zhiyuan also showed no mercy to Poongarai. This has nothing to do with personal relations.
Qin, to be honest, this is what I'm worried about right now, and your Lan Fang is probably that Mars. Poongarai was not polite and spoke frankly about Lan Fang's concerns.
You shouldn’t worry about me, you should worry about the Americans. Think about it, Americans are busy developing the domestic market now, and their focus has not yet shifted overseas. However, the domestic market of the United States is limited after all. If the domestic market is developed
To the extreme, but capital still has the energy to need a bigger market, then will the Americans still insist on isolationism? I think you should have your own views on this issue. Whether you are willing to be an ostrich or not, the threat from the Americans is
There will eventually become a serious threat there. Qin Zhiyuan still insists on his theory of the American threat.
Qin Zhiyuan, who comes from the 21st century, knows the evolution of the world situation. The Germans were indeed dissatisfied with the existing system and launched two world wars in an attempt to change the world order. However, due to the joint suppression of the British and French,
In other words, due to the joint efforts of the whole world, the German resistance was ultimately unsuccessful.
In this process of resistance and suppression, the colonial system led by Britain and France finally collapsed. If there was no black hand from a certain country, even if Qin Zhiyuan was killed, he would not believe it.
Look at Madagascar now, look at Japan now. Strictly speaking, these two countries are colonies. One belongs to France and the other belongs to Lanfang. The French are implementing a purity plan for Madagascar under the leadership of Pierre. The Malagasy people
Spears and bows and arrows have no ability to resist machine guns and cannons; Japan is now showing complete surrender to Lanfang. Every day, hundreds of Japanese people beg in front of the Lanfang headquarters in Japan to beg Lanfang people to release the emperor and his family.
Japan.
Without the intervention of external forces, such a colony would have no ability to resist the rule of the mother country.
After listening to Qin Zhiyuan's words, Poungale fell into silence again, this time completely silent. Until William II left, Poungale did not come back to his senses.
Whether Americans are saviors or threats to Europe is indeed a question.
The performance of the Americans during and after the World War clearly illustrates the attitude of the Americans. In a sense, the Americans are indeed the savior, but this savior is not simple and can evolve into a threat at any time. In other words, it has always been a threat.
It has always been a threat, but the French and British chose to remain silent in the face of this threat. They buried their heads in the sand and pretended that nothing existed. In fact, everyone knew that if there was another world war, the Americans would
Become the undisputed creditor of the world.
In fact, the United States has now become the world's creditor. However, the last world war was not destructive enough. The British and French still had some wealth and the ability to rely on their huge colonies and the previous hundreds of years to control the world.
The accumulation of world plunder has paid off its own debts, so the debt crisis did not break out. The Americans are not strong enough and do not have the ability to dominate the world. But if it happens again, it is very likely that the British and French will be able to do it again.
They were all beaten to pieces. What will the British and French use to repay the debts of the Americans?
