During the World War, all walks of life in Southern Africa developed rapidly, which was very different from before the war.
Data from the Ministry of Finance of Southern Africa show that before the outbreak of the world war, the GDP of Southern Africa was only 1.43 billion pounds, which was only about the same as France, about half of the United Kingdom, and less than one-fifth of the United States.
As of last year, the GDP of southern Africa had reached 7.55 billion pounds, exceeding the GDP of the United Kingdom, but still less than half of the United States.
It is inaccurate to measure national strength by gross national product. In 1870, the gross national product of a large country in the Far East accounted for 17.3% of the world's total. At that time, the United States only accounted for 0.9. By 1900, the proportion of a large country in the Far East dropped to 11, and the United States accounted for 11%.
The proportion of total economic output has risen to 15.8.
To be fair, Southern Africa's GDP has some moisture, but this moisture is not exaggerated, but deliberately reduced. It is different from the United States' statistical method that can increase GDP by flipping hands. There are many situations in Southern Africa that are not
Not within the scope of statistics, such as agricultural products produced on farms, as long as they are not sold to the federal government, they are not included in the gross national product.
If we follow the statistical method of the United States, then the GDP of southern Africa will probably double.
Considering that Southern Africa currently only has such a small population, Southern Africa's GDP has a higher gold content, and its potential has not yet been fully unleashed.
Regarding the issue of the statistical method of gross national product, everyone present knew what was going on, so no one cared. The United States should be number one. It would be more appropriate for southern Africa not to snatch this honor and to make a fortune in silence.
Orientation of Southern Africa.
After the World War, Southern Africa's main export products to Europe have quietly changed from weapons and ammunition to building materials and food and daily necessities. Many arsenals in Nyasaland have directly transformed into builders. Stoudemire's South African company is expanding rapidly.
Food processing plants have been opened to the Mediterranean coast, and Fatelte Steel Company has quietly made the most profits. During the war, the demand for steel continued to rise. After the war, the demand for steel and other materials increased instead of decreasing, and the demand for cement also increased.
Output has also been directly doubled. Not only Europe, but the federal government of Southern Africa is also considering large-scale infrastructure construction.
Roque disagrees. At this time, more energy should be focused on the reconstruction of Europe. The domestic infrastructure construction in Southern Africa can be stopped for a while. It is not too late to start the infrastructure construction in Southern Africa after the reconstruction of Europe is completed.
"After the end of the world war, there will definitely be a wave of economic depression, but this wave of economic depression will not break out now, because the end of the world war will be followed by reconstruction, which will stimulate the economic indicators to continue to improve - but after the completion of the infrastructure
, the economic indicators of various countries will experience a large shrinkage. We will then start infrastructure construction in southern Africa and continue to stimulate economic development." Roque has reasonable evidence, but this "evidence" cannot be put on the table.
The world war in another time and space ended in 1918, but the gross national product of each country still increased. It lasted until 1921 before a large decline generally occurred, with the average decline being about 20%.
What Roque means is to make another profit while Europe's reconstruction continues. After Europe's reconstruction is completed, it will continue to stimulate domestic demand to stimulate the economy. By then, the economic strength of Southern Africa will continue to maintain a growth trend.
Even if it drops, don't drop it so drastically.
Rock knows what happened after the economic crisis broke out in another time and space in 1921.
"Yes, our Ministry of Finance thinks so too. Starting from April this year, Europe's demand for building materials and food and daily necessities has increased sharply. Businessmen are always the most keen on this kind of thing. They know what the market needs.
, What we have to do now is to fully meet the needs of Europe. Unfortunately, from now on, there will be few such good opportunities -" Adado said regretfully, sounding as if he had not sucked enough blood.
"Don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future -" Rock almost blurted out that after World War I there will be World War II, and after World War II there will be a Cold War, and there will be no peace after the Cold War, so for Southern Africa, there are a lot of opportunities, it just depends on whether you can
Can't grasp it.
In another time and space, a group of Boers hiding in southern Africa and farming quietly could build southern Africa into a quasi-developed country.
In this time and space, there are tens of millions more Chinese in southern Africa, and there is Rock, the "prophet" behind the scenes, so Rock is really looking forward to where Southern Africa can go in this time and space.
"Locke, explain." Adelaide's expression was obviously shocked. The damage caused by the world war was too great. Adelaide did not believe that Europe would repeat the same mistakes.
"A world war of this level should never break out in the future. Europe has been reduced to a pile of ruins, and all participating countries have been severely damaged -" Philip's view was the same as Adelaide's, but when it came to "severely damaged",
Everyone has a little weird expression.
The ones whose vitality was severely damaged were Britain, France, Germany and Russia. There were more than just these countries that participated in the war. Some countries successfully turned around through the world war, such as Japan in Asia, the United States in America, and a certain country hiding in the British Commonwealth.
The so-called British Overseas Territory of the wealthy.
The same British overseas territories, Canada, Australia and New Zealand must be very depressed. In the same year, He Ruxiu——
On this issue, Canada is the most obvious. It is said that after General Arthur Kerry returned to Canada, he was sued by the Canadian government. The reason was that the Canadian Expeditionary Force suffered too heavy losses in the world war. General Arthur Kerry did not
Take due responsibility.
This accusation is nonsense. The commander-in-chief of the early Canadian Expeditionary Force was not Arthur Kerry at all, but Rock's old friend Marcus Lloyd. After Marcus Lloyd resigned due to illness, Arthur
John Kerry became commander-in-chief of the Canadian Expeditionary Force.
Moreover, Arthur Kerry is not responsible for the heavy casualties of the troops. Objectively speaking, Rock is more responsible. If it were based on the logic of the Canadian colonial government, Rock should be sent to court.
In other words, the ANZAC commander who suffered more heavy casualties should be brought to court.
General John Monash has a saying mmp to say here, just keep it to yourself and don’t get involved with me.
"Paris is in chaos now. France wants to completely dismember Germany. It is best to turn Germany into a threat-free country like the Ottoman Empire and Austria-Hungary. However, this is not in the interest of the British Empire. We need a country that can pose a sufficient threat to France."
Only Germany can guarantee our right to speak on the European continent. When I left France, I heard that there was a draft resolution. When the Prince of Baden saw the resolution, he only said one sentence: Germany rejects this kind of peace agreement.
." From an outsider's perspective, Rock said that the Germans did have enough reasons to refuse.
The draft of the "Peace Agreement" is said to have been sent back to Germany. The Germans now hate the imperial officials who wanted to surrender, especially the German troops on the Western Front. Although in the month before the end of the world war, the German troops on the Western Front were facing allied attacks.
At that time, there was no way to fight back, but the German army on the Western Front was not completely defeated. On the front where the French troops were responsible, the German army even successfully organized counterattacks on some battlefields.
This gave the Germans on the Western Front the illusion that if the government in the rear had not surrendered, the Germans on the front could continue to fight.
In fact, it was all an illusion. Germany at that time was already unsustainable and could not even supply the most basic bullets. Continuing the war would only make the casualty list longer.
"So peace is only temporary -" Ade was really speechless. He also had something to say mmp, but he didn't know who to scold.
Are the French irrational?
No, Poengale and Clemenceau are both mature politicians, especially Clemenceau. This old man has been in high and low affairs for decades, and the decisions he makes are the most beneficial to France.
Winston did not deserve to be scolded. Like Roque, Winston was appointed at the critical moment. After leading Britain to win the World War, some members of Congress proposed that Winston should be awarded the title of "Duke of London".
Fortunately, Winston refused rationally. A duke is not named casually, let alone the "Duke of London." If Winston accepts this title without knowing the truth, then I am afraid that after Winston steps down, he will have to settle accounts later.
.
Winston is working hard to prepare for the general election and seek re-election.
"Yes, peace is only temporary. The Germans are not willing to accept it now, but Germany has no way to continue, so it can only be forced to accept this result - but when the next generation of Germany grows up and Germany's strength recovers, then I am afraid there will be more
The next world war will break out." This is not a leak by Rock. Many people in the Allied Powers share the same view as Rock.
Foch hit the nail on the head when he saw the draft of the "Peace Agreement": this is a twenty-year armistice agreement.
Even Manking, the butcher, did not agree with the world war ending in this way. When the world war ended, Manking was heartbroken. He believed that the coalition forces should continue to attack until they captured Berlin and forced the Germans to sign a treaty in the palace of Wilhelm II.
A peace agreement so that the Germans can truly be defeated.
If this is really done, it may really dispel the illusions of many Germans.
"The next generation, twenty years -" Ade thought thoughtfully. In twenty years, a new generation of Europeans will grow up, and the same will happen in Southern Africa. With the current situation in Southern Africa, if in another twenty years
If there is another world war, maybe southern Africa will take center stage.
: When I finished writing this chapter, I suddenly realized that it would be good to finish the whole book like this - it is obviously impossible. If I finish the whole book just like this, how can I be worthy of the name of a big fish in water, so I will continue to go into the water.
