France was once the most powerful country on the European continent, but starting from the French Revolution in 1789, France began to fall into a vicious cycle of alternating revolutions and coups. For more than a hundred years, the royalists and the emerging bourgeoisie
Taking turns to come to power, coupled with ordinary people who are unwilling to be left alone, it seems that if anyone is dissatisfied with the situation in France, they can ask the government authorities to respond according to their own wishes.
If the response does not satisfy you, then overthrow the government.
It can be said that for more than a hundred years since 1789, the French have been trying various tricks to die. However, even under such circumstances, France still relied on its expansion in Africa to establish a colonial system second only to the United Kingdom.
.
Until the Franco-Prussian War broke out, the Germans personally broke France's halo, and France's external strength and internal indifference were fully exposed in the Franco-Prussian War.
With its huge colonies around the world, France quickly emerged from the shadow of the failure of the Franco-Prussian War. However, the failure of the Franco-Prussian War also cast a shadow over France's colonies. Now France cannot even guarantee the security of its homeland, so what else can it do?
Can’t guarantee the security of the colony?
If no external forces intervene, the answer is yes. With the advancement of science and technology, the emergence of automatic weapons has completely changed the battlefield situation. Dozens of white people using automatic weapons can fight against thousands or even tens of thousands of colonial indigenous troops. But if external forces intervene and arm the natives of the colonies, the white population in the colonies will really not be able to effectively rule the colonies.
The situation in Madagascar is different from that of the French colonies in North Africa.
Before France conquered Madagascar, Madagascar was a unified country. At that time, the Kingdom of Madagascar had been able to effectively rule the entire island of Madagascar. Therefore, France's colonization of Madagascar did not go smoothly. The third uprising that broke out in 1896 affected almost the entire island.
The uprising was basically suppressed until 1904, but the guerrilla activities continued until 1915.
Geographically speaking, Madagascar is right next to southern Africa and far away from the French North African provinces. Therefore, French companies in Madagascar have always maintained a high degree of vigilance and refused to allow capital from southern Africa to enter Madagascar.
The largest companies in Madagascar are now the Marseille Company and the Lyon Company. These large companies control the economic lifeline of the entire island. The trade between Madagascar and France accounts for three-quarters of Madagascar's total trade volume. France earns the most profits from unequal trade every year.
An average of more than 1 billion francs.
Therefore, it is very difficult for capital from southern Africa to enter Madagascar. Jean Casimir Perrier was also desperate at first, so he had no choice but to cooperate with Roque.
After the death of Jean Casimir Perrier, the Perrier family began to gradually decline. If the Perrier family could still stay in peace at this time, then Roque would not mind taking the Perrier family to make a fortune, but now the Perrier family
The family has violated Roque's interests, so Roque will definitely fight back.
A week later, Elvis came to Pretoria, but only got fifteen minutes.
"Sorry, my lord is busy with official duties and will attend the ministerial meeting later, so I only have fifteen minutes." Zach's sister Bella is now Rock's personal secretary, and Rock's time is allocated by Bella. p>
Of course, Rock's workload is definitely not as busy as Adelaide's. Adelaide has endless work to do, while Rock has limited time for work every day, so he can only give Elvis fifteen minutes. Fifteen minutes was certainly not enough. Elvis only spent nearly ten minutes explaining the difficulties Casimir Perrier Company was currently experiencing.
"So, the fundamental reason is still insufficient funds. How much money does the company need to solve the problem now?" Rock is simple and direct. Problems that can be solved with money are not problems. Of course, Rock will not give it in vain, Elvis thought.
If Rock is asked to pay, then he must give up the management rights of the company.
"Looking at it now, we need at least five million francs." Elvis was helpless and could only place his hope on Roque, for the sake of Jean Casimir Perrier, and open the network to the Perrier family.
One side.
Roque just smiled and said nothing. Five million francs is not much, but Roque will definitely not spend it in vain. For the sake of Jean Casimir Perrier, Roque can tolerate Oliver misappropriating company funds, but if
As a result, the company has difficulty operating, and the Perrier family will have to bear the price.
To put it bluntly, Rock also deliberately created opportunities for Oliver to misappropriate funds, otherwise there would be no excuse now.
"If not, 2.7 million francs will do -" Elvis only had fifteen minutes and couldn't afford to waste it. The 2.7 million was not used to compensate the families of the employees who died in the Ankelika riot, but to serve as
Last year's company profits were paid to Roque, so at least the Perrier family's management of Casimir Perrier Company can be maintained for a while.
"Sorry, Lord, the Prime Minister and other ministers are waiting for you -" Bella knocked on the door just fifteen minutes after arriving.
"Lord—" Elvis looked at Rock with pleading eyes.
"Sorry, let's talk about this issue again when we get another chance." Rock refused decisively. Adult games have adult rules, and anyone who doesn't follow the rules will be eliminated.
Next, Elvis tried to ask Roark again, but he never got the chance to meet Roark again. The person responsible for handling the matter became Christian.
Rock was more or less amiable towards Elvis, but Christian was simple and rude, directly asking to take over the management of Casimir Perrier's company.
"It is absolutely impossible that Casimir Perrier Company belongs to the Perrier family." Elvis was still struggling at the end. Although his words were decisive, they did not have much deterrent effect.
"Very good!" Christian didn't waste any words. Rock's time is precious, and Christian's time is equally precious, so we won't waste it on Elvis.
Then Elvis began a long journey, but in southern Africa, no one could provide Elvis with any help.
In mid-June, another riot broke out at Casimir Perrier's mine in Marouai. This time Robert didn't even bother to say hello and went directly to Mayotte for vacation.
"I heard that Elvis is contacting the Marseille Company and the Lyon Company, trying to get help from the Marseille Company and the Lyon Company -" Jonathan knows the situation in Madagascar very well. The Marseille Company and the Lyon Company are also Umbrella's customers, and the Umbrella Company's intelligence capabilities are still
Very powerful.
Although southern African capital is denied access to Madagascar, Marseille and Lyon companies cannot refuse the services of the umbrella company.
It is true that the situation in Madagascar is still unstable. The mines of Marseille Company and Lyon Company are often attacked by guerrillas. Therefore, almost all large companies in Madagascar must accept the services of the umbrella company, otherwise, attacks will come.
Extremely violent.
This is actually considered a protection fee, and everyone understands it tacitly, otherwise the umbrella company would not have developed so fast. Even the French colonial government in Madagascar often relied on the umbrella company to ensure the stability of Madagascar.
Today's umbrella companies are like children going door to door on Halloween night asking for candy, and trick-or-treating if no candy is given.
"Marseille Company and Lyon Company are not charitable organizations and will not inject money into Casimir Perrier Company in vain, so Elvis's efforts are destined to be in vain. No matter what the process is, the result will not change, Casimir
"The Perrier Company no longer belongs to the Perrier family." Robert is not worried. Compared with Roque, the Marseille Company and the Lyon Company are more ugly. If the Perrier family cooperates with the Marseille Company and the Lyon Company, they will be
Not even a scrap of food is left.
By cooperating with Roque, at least Roque can ensure the due interests of the Perrier family. I hope Elvis can realize this as soon as possible.
"The Marseille Company and the Lyon Company are not willing to see the capital of Southern Africa control the Casimir Perrier Company, so it is hard to say what the outcome will be." Jonathan is still worried, and this is not impossible.
"If Elvis really dares to do that, then he will be prepared to bear the Lord's revenge." Robert is not very worried, unless Elvis has water in his head, otherwise he will be destroyed.
Robert didn't know whether there was water in Elvis's head. Oliver must have water in his head. Before Elvis could get help from Marseille Company and Lyon Company, Oliver released the news that Casimir Perry
The company wants to sell the mine in Ankelika.
"I'm confused. The sale of the mine must be approved by the Nyasaland Agricultural Company. If you let the news out now, even if someone buys it, you won't be able to get a good price." Elvis was very anxious. What happened during this period
There were too many things going on, and Elvis was very tired. If it weren't for wiping Oliver's butt, Elvis really wanted to transfer the management rights to Nyasaland Agricultural Company, and then reap the dividends every year.
If it was a month ago, Rock would be happy if Elvis did this.
Now even if Elvis wants to get this result, it will be difficult for him. If he takes control of the company's management, then Roque will definitely hold Oliver responsible for transferring the company's assets. According to the current French law, Oliver will be imprisoned.
"It won't work if we don't sell it. There is a problem with our investment in North Africa. If there is no follow-up capital injection, then the investment in North Africa will be lost -" Oliver was dejected. He has proven with facts that he is indeed not an investment genius.<
/p>
But the price of this fact is too great. The entire Perrier family was dragged into the abyss by Oliver and buried with him. If Jean Casimir Perrier knew about it, he would not be so angry that he would jump out of the coffin.
