Pétain was a pure soldier, and it was normal for him not to understand some advanced business models.
Although Roque is the boss of Nyasaland Military Industrial Group, he is not the general manager of Nyasaland Military Industrial Group. Roque has many companies under his name. If he does everything by hand, Roque will be exhausted to death.
So Roque really didn’t know that Nyasaland Military Industrial Group treated Britain and France differently in terms of sales.
This is normal. After all, more advanced tanks have been produced. So the previous tanks have to find ways to make as much money as possible. It is not good to have a big family and a big business. Life still needs to be prudent. Alas, the life of the rich is
It's so plain and boring.
So Roque's reasons are very good, and his counterattack is equally sharp: "So what? I am not only the boss of Nyasaland Military Industrial Group, I am also the boss of Nyasaland Company, the boss of Rand Bank, and...
The boss of Edward Shipyard is the boss of Adan Company and Umbrella Company. There are 170 companies in which I own shares. It takes me two and a half hours to read the financial statements every day, so what do you want me to do?"
The number of 170 companies is really not an exaggeration. Part of Rock's current foreign investment is through Rand Bank and part is through Nyasaland Company. Unlike the industrial Nyasaland Military Industrial Group Adang Company, Nyasaland
The company is a standard investment company, specially used for foreign investment.
The companies that have emerged in Nyasaland in recent years are more or less closely related to Roque, so let alone Roque staying in Europe for three years or thirty years, Nyasaland
It won’t change, it’s still Rock’s basic plan.
It is not an exaggeration to spend two and a half hours looking at reports every day. In fact, there is now a professional team responsible for this work, and this team is directly managed by Zach.
"I want you to treat everyone equally. I want the product purchased by the French government at the price of a new tank to be able to truly play its due role, instead of being shot into the soul by a German direct-fire cannon on the battlefield!" Petain roared.
, he was not jealous of how much money Roark had, but he really felt sorry for the tank crews who were directly blown to death before they had time to escape after the tanks were hit, or the tank crews were burned alive.
The iron coffin is no joke, war is like this. When the German troops did not have direct-fire artillery, tanks were invincible on the battlefield.
When the German army had anti-tank guns, tank crews became Doudou.
"Henry, things are not as simple as you think. The emergence of a new technology takes time to be put into use. I don't know what happened, but please believe that Nyasaland Military Industrial Group never cheats its teammates——
"Roque tried his best to explain, and it would be best if Petain could understand. If Petain couldn't understand -
Who cares!
Anyway, it was not a British tanker who died.
Even less likely to be a southern African tanker.
The worst case scenario is not to sell it, but the French must accept this fact so that more "backward weapons" can be sold to the French in the future.
In the Battle of Jutland, the aircraft carrier purchased by the British Royal Navy from southern Africa performed well. Now the French government is also negotiating with Edwards Shipyard to purchase aircraft carriers.
Edouard Shipyard never refuses orders and does not worry about the loss of technology. The French government once thought that it would be settled once and for all after obtaining the technical data of tanks and aircraft. However, it found that before its aircraft and tanks were produced, more advanced weapons appeared in southern Africa.
.
What is the most tragic thing in the world?
It’s not that the person dies and the money is not spent, nor that the person dies after the money is spent, but that there is no money——
The French government borrowed money from the UK to buy technology from southern Africa.
Therefore, if France wants to buy an aircraft carrier, Edouard Shipyard will not hold back on selling it. This is forcing the French to develop their own aircraft carriers. The general manager of Edouard Shipyard is not stupid, and of course he will not sell the latest designed aircraft carrier to the French.
By the same token, carrier-based aircraft are definitely not the latest models.
But compared to aircraft from other countries, the carrier-based aircraft used for export in Southern Africa are definitely the best.
This is an endless cycle.
"You still have the nerve to say you're not cheating, but you're just a cheat!" Pétain said bluntly, and this seems to be true.
"You are a scammer, you have a scam on your forehead -" Rock instantly transformed into a market lady.
"Stop!" Foch called a stop in time. If Ludendorff knew that the commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force and the French Army was this kind of thing, Ludendorff would probably laugh out loud: "Commanders, can you be sensible?
Some, your IQ levels are like kids in kindergarten!”
"You can go to preschool at most!" Luo Sansui retorted, four years old can't be any more.
"Don't use your IQ to judge my IQ!" Pétain wasn't too strong, and the bar counter made a loud noise.
Well, everyone is really under a lot of pressure during this period, and it’s a good thing to vent it out now.
After drinking two glasses of beer, Roque and Pétain finally calmed down.
"The German attack is weakening. Either Ludendorff is at the end of his rope, or Ludendorff is planning a new offensive." Petain said nonsense. Ludendorff would not chew his fingers every day anyway.
"No matter what he does, as long as we hold the line of defense, the Germans will continue to bleed. The current situation in Germany does not allow Ludendorff to act arbitrarily, and Ludendorff should be under great pressure." Rock is also talking nonsense. This is actually
It is to strengthen confidence, strengthen Pétain's confidence, and at the same time strengthen Rock's own confidence.
When the war has reached this point, it is impossible to negotiate peace. Only one side completely admits defeat can the war end.
Roque and Pétain had no other choice but to persevere, and so did Ludendorff.
Fortunately, Britain and France have vast colonies for blood transfusion, but Germany is on the verge of collapse. Rock is sometimes curious and doesn't know where the Germans' bottom line is. The battle on the Western Front is so cruel. The British Expeditionary Force and the French Army
There have been serious incidents like mutinies, but the German army seems to have never mutinied.
Germans are indeed tough and rigorous. Such Germans are respected. No matter what, their loyalty to the country is worthy of admiration.
If Britain were in such a situation where it was besieged on all sides, Rock didn't know if he could persist until now.
"Then our main character in the next period of time will still be defense, replacing offense with defense, gradually consuming Germany's strength, and letting Germany continue to bleed until Germany bleeds to death." Foch summarized Roque and Pétain's ideas. Now
The UK and France are not afraid of spending. The UK and France can afford it, but Germany cannot afford it.
Speaking of which, the Germans are also very miserable. They have a bunch of pig teammates like the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire.
The Ottoman Empire was conquered by the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force led by Roque shortly after joining the war, and now it no longer exists.
The Austro-Hungarian Empire was also in turmoil. After the new Russian government withdrew from the war, the Austro-Hungarian Empire still had about a hundred divisions, but most of these divisions only had 5,000 to 8,000 people, and they could not be considered division-level establishments at all.
Conrad finally ceased serving as Chief of General Staff of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and went to the Isonzo River as commander of the Front.
When the Germans launched their attack, two more battles broke out on the Isonzo River. The Kingdom of Italy was still sluggish. They have not broken through the Isonzo River defense line even once. This is already the eleventh or tenth time.
The Second Battle of the Isonzo River was held, but the Kingdom of Italy still had no results, and hundreds of thousands more casualties were added to the casualty list.
There was another piece of news in September that I don’t know whether it was good news or not. In the fourth year of the outbreak of the World War, the Far East Provisional Government finally joined the Allied Powers and officially declared war on Germany.
This should be good news for the Allied Powers, because the Far East Provisional Government has the largest population in the world and the greatest war potential. Those Chinese workers have performed very well in Europe. Many of them have entered French factories to work, and some workers have joined in Cyprus.
The Southern African Expeditionary Force also performed very well. Among the troops currently attacking the Kingdom of Bulgaria, there are Chinese workers from the Far East.
With reference to the performance of Chinese labor in Europe, if the Far East Provisional Government sends an expeditionary force to Europe, it can gain more say and gain more benefits after the war.
However, the situation of the Far East Provisional Government was more complicated than that of Russia today. The Far East Provisional Government debated endlessly on the issue of whether to send an expeditionary force to Europe, and time continued to pass in the long discussion. Finally, until the end of the World War, the Far East
None of the Provisional Governments sent a real expeditionary force to Europe.
So this can explain why at the Paris Peace Conference in another time and space, the interests of the Chinese were directly ignored.
White people are very realistic. They can get as many benefits as they make contributions. Southern Africa, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, these British overseas dominions, after the outbreak of the world war, tried their best to form troops to support the British mainland, with a population of only 9 million.
Canada has recruited 690,000 Canadians to join the army. Australia, with a total population of only 5.5 million, has recruited 550,000 Australians to join the army. Southern Africa, which also had a total population of only 5.5 million before the outbreak of the world war, has mobilized 1.27 million people so far.
Joining the army, a dominion that goes all out like this, isn't it worthy of being rewarded with more autonomy?
Even India mobilized 2 million people to join the army and sent 1.2 million people to Europe. Compared with the above-mentioned countries, the Far East Provisional Government's contribution to the world war was only a mere 150,000 workers.
Germany's colonies in the Far East were divided between Japan and East India respectively, and had nothing to do with the Far East Provisional Government.
From Rock's point of view, Rock is really willing to provide help to the Chinese in the Far East. With Southern Africa and Rock's own contribution to the world war, Rock will definitely have a huge say after the war.
But how much can Rock help?
This is a very serious problem.
: Regarding the names of some countries, please don’t mind, brothers. Yutou is not guilty of making such a low-level mistake, but I really don’t dare to write——
Here's another one: It seems that I can read this chapter. Does this mean that I still have to spend money to subscribe to the novels I wrote? Thinking about it makes me feel a little sad.
