Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

In order to reduce the cost of the Ford Model T, it can be said that Henry Ford tried his best to not only train workers and improve their proficiency, but also to improve workers' efficiency and enthusiasm, Ford creatively used eight hours of work system and raise workers' daily wages to five dollars.

The daily wage of five dollars was established in 1913. By 1918, Ford workers could already receive a daily wage of six dollars, which was second to none in the world. Even in southern African companies, which are known for their high benefits and salaries, ordinary workers I can't get such a high salary.

 High salary brings honor to Ford Motor, but it also brings huge pressure to Ford Motor.

Henry Ford’s intentions were good. He wanted to increase workers’ labor enthusiasm through high wages, so that ordinary Ford workers could afford the cars produced by Ford.

After Nyasaland Automobile entered the United States, the pressure on Ford Automobile increased. The price of Washington Automobile was almost the same as that of Ford Automobile, but the cost was lower than Ford Automobile. Therefore, Washington Automobile had more funds to spend on new vehicles. In terms of technology research and development, configurations are getting higher and higher. Just last month, the sales of Washington cars in the United States surpassed Ford. This forced Ford to change its previous model, lower workers' wages and extend working hours.

 At this time, unions that were ubiquitous in the United States ignored the increasing pressure from Ford Motor Company and organized collective protests by workers, which eventually led to a confrontation between federal troops and state police.

 Fortunately there was no fighting between federal troops and state police, otherwise the beautiful country would have shocked the world again.

The last time the United States suppressed a rally of World War I veterans in Washington, it already caused great repercussions internationally. The number of European immigrants to the United States dropped significantly that year.

 Rock had already anticipated Ford's current situation.

 The wage system implemented by enterprises in southern Africa is actually similar to that of Ford. They also have high wages and an eight-hour work system, but the pressure on enterprises is not as great as Ford's.

In the final analysis, Southern African companies use a large number of African-American workers to effectively reduce corporate costs. Southern African workers at Nyasaland Automobile can get a monthly salary of about 20 rand, which is equivalent to about 100 U.S. dollars, while African-American workers can only earn The monthly salary is about 5 rand, which is equivalent to about 25 US dollars.

Not only are wages low, African-American workers’ working hours are not protected. They work longer hours every day and have no paid holidays? There are also no apartments and they can only live in dormitories, etc. The reason why Southern Africa’s economic development is so fast ?Thanks to the contributions of countless African-American workers.

"France is now like southern Africa. It is also striving to absorb more new immigrants. It is trying to create job opportunities, lower tax rates and increase corporate profits, but the results are not good." Leonard Capet is very worried about the current situation in France. World War

Has it been a long time? France has not yet recovered from the trauma caused by the war.

 During the World War, more than 1.4 million people died in France, second only to Germany's 1.77 million and Russia's 1.7 million? Equivalent to an entire French generation.

How many years have passed since the World War? France has tried every means to increase its population. Instead of increasing, the total population has been declining.

"France is trying hard to absorb new immigrants from the colonies? But French people are still exodus because of the threat of war? Lowering tax rates has enriched entrepreneurs, but it has not really benefited the French people. If France wants to truly get out of the trauma, France still has a lot of problems.

There's a long way to go." Roque knew where France's crux was, but unfortunately Roque couldn't give him any good advice.

In fact, there are not no solutions? Is the French government's idea of ​​​​solving the problem correct? Unfortunately, uncontrollable deviations occurred during the implementation process? The population introduced to France now are low-quality colonial immigrants? The outflow is people who understand the current situation in France.

Are there high-quality talents who can see through the surface of France's victory in the world war and see France's deep-seated crisis? The losses to France, both internally and externally, are simply incalculable.

 Reynard Capet also knew about France's problems. After thinking about it for a long time, he could only sigh.

 The problems that Roque couldn’t solve, Leonard Capet couldn’t solve.

Fortunately, there is Saint-Roch. Most of those high-quality talents who understand the situation in France and cannot leave France choose Saint-Roch as their place of residence. The biggest problem now is that although France and Belgium donated Saint-Roch to southern Africa, southern Africa has not

Due to some reasons, troops could not be stationed in Saint-Roch, so mercenaries from the Umbrella Company could only be mobilized to maintain the situation.

There is no problem in using the mercenaries of the Umbrella Company in the short term, but not in the long term. Compared with the regular army, the Umbrella Company has some problems that cannot be solved. Roque came to Saint Roque this time to see if this problem can be solved.

method.

"The French government is unlikely to agree to garrison troops in Saint-Roch in southern Africa. When the French government decided to donate the Duperocust dunes to Southern Africa, it was still a barren land with no vegetation. Now the Duperocust dunes have become

After Saint-Roch, some people in the Parliament have already proposed to take Saint-Roch back, and garrisoning troops is almost impossible." Leonard Capet smiled bitterly, don't overestimate the morality of the French, friendship is nonsense when it comes to interests.

 It is no longer time for France to need the Southern African Expeditionary Force to deal with the Germans.

Especially after Madagascar joined the Southern African Union, the relationship between France and Southern Africa has gradually become colder. Not long ago, in order to increase government revenue and protect domestic enterprises, France also learned from the United States and the United Kingdom and revised tariffs. Now Southern African goods

Competitiveness in France is declining, and France's dependence on southern Africa is also decreasing.

 At this time, we can see the benefits of southern Africa clinging to the British thigh.

The British Empire is still the most powerful country in the world. Even the United States covets the market within the Commonwealth. The recently signed "Imperial Customs Union" allows southern African goods to enter the Commonwealth market with almost no hindrance.

, this is the biggest driving force for the southern African economy to remain dynamic.

"We have to find a way to create an excuse for the Southern African army to smoothly enter Saint-Roch." Roque had nothing he couldn't say in front of Leonard Capet, who was himself the spokesperson for Southern Africa's interests in France.

.

“My lord, please don’t be impulsive.” Leonard Capet didn’t know what Rock was going to do, and subconsciously felt that Rock had bad intentions.

 “Ha, no,” Roque answered perfunctorily. Leonard Cape could only pray that Roque would not go too far.

 After all, Leonard Capet did not want France to be harmed.

Just when Rock was struggling to find an excuse, a conflict broke out between the Umbrella Company and the local French in Dunkirk.

 It should be noted here that Saint-Roch is less than 20 kilometers away from Dunkirk.

In order to solve the problem of mercenary camps, Umbrella Company purchased approximately 1.5 square kilometers of land from the Dunkirk city government and planned to build a military camp here for the use of mercenaries stationed in Saint-Roch.

The Umbrella Company paid the money for the land purchase directly to the Dunkirk Municipal Government, but the Dunkirk Municipal Government did not do a good job in land acquisition and relocation. As a result, when the Umbrella Company built the camp, there was an incident with the Dunkirk locals.

There were some conflicts.

"We paid a fee of 25 pounds per acre for those lands. This fee has been fully paid. According to regulations, the Dunkirk Municipal Government should compensate those Dunkirk residents whose land was expropriated at a fee of approximately 15 pounds per acre.

The person in charge of the Erke Locals umbrella company in Saint-Roch is Sergey, a French-Slavic man who has now become a Southern African citizen.

"The Dunkirk city government misappropriated the fees we paid for other purposes and did not pay the locals in time. As a result, the locals obstructed our work, not only stealing construction materials from the construction site, but also blocking our construction workers.

"It was normal construction and our workers were injured." Sergey was filled with indignation. Those French people should go to the Dunkirk city government to ask for money instead of pouring their anger on the umbrella company.

“Wait, did you hurt our workers?” Roque was surprised. He didn’t expect the French to go so far.

“Uh, African-American worker,” Sergey said, feeling a little embarrassed.

 That's right, if it's Chinese or white, the French really don't dare to do anything.

It’s hard to say about Africans. France also has colonies in Africa. After the World War, many Africans came to settle in France, but they did not enjoy the treatment they deserve as French citizens. They were standard “second-class citizens”.

Even so, the life of those Africans in France is very different from the life in the colonies. At least in France, no one dares to openly abuse Africans, and they can get paid for their work, although the salary is a little less.

 “Then what?” Roque was not surprised at all. The democracy and freedom that the French advertised actually needed to be put in quotation marks.

"We have paid enough money, so we certainly cannot condone the behavior of those French people. The night before yesterday, two French people went to the construction site to steal things. They were caught on the spot. After dawn, hundreds of French people surrounded our construction site.

, demanding that we immediately release the captured Frenchmen and pay 500 pounds in compensation." Sergey looked disdainful. If this had happened in the Near East, the Umbrella Company would have gone on a killing spree.

 In France, umbrella companies still need to restrain themselves appropriately. After all, it is the "center of world civilization." Even if the French are shameless, umbrella companies still have to be shameless.

"Why do you ask for compensation?" Roque was surprised by the French people's shamelessness. How could such a request be made?

"Some of our soldiers had some super-friendly behavior with some French women, which resulted in several French women becoming pregnant. However, this is not our responsibility. It was those French women who seduced our soldiers!" Sergey is also very thick-skinned.

It's quite shameless to say such things.
