Reborn as a police officer in South Africa
1328 Super Behemoth
Neither Rock nor Philip noticed that dissatisfaction with southern Africa was building in Britain.
During the World War, Britain needed southern African troops to win, needed southern African goods to maintain Britain's stability, and needed southern African arms to make up for the lack of British domestic production. Therefore, the British government gave the green light to southern Africa, and southern African goods accompanied southern Africa.
The frenzied influx of African expeditionary forces into Commonwealth Europe contributed to the rapid development of southern Africa during the World War.
After the end of the world war, British domestic companies finally recovered. At this time, British people were surprised to find that high-quality and low-priced southern African products had spread to every corner of the Commonwealth, filling every scene of British daily life.
British companies have also tried to compete with Southern African companies, but Southern African products are superior in both quality and price. After several years of open and covert fighting, British companies not only failed to regain the market, but Southern African companies have further developed and grown. This is
This is unacceptable to British companies no matter what.
The vast majority of British MPs are spokespersons for domestic interest groups in the UK, and many MPs are even capitalists themselves. Under such circumstances, the British Parliament is increasingly calling for restrictions on enterprises in southern Africa.
The construction of battleships for the French in southern Africa finally gave Britain an outlet for its accumulated dissatisfaction with southern Africa. Winston's phone call was actually a reminder to Rock.
It's a pity that Rock didn't notice that things had become so serious.
On June 25, the British Federation of Labor launched a lawsuit against Fawalt Steel Group, accusing Fawalt Steel Group of using a large number of illegal foreign workers in the process of organizing production and cruelly exploiting illegal foreign workers.
, and dumping in the UK, seriously affecting the survival space of British steel companies.
"The reason of the Labor Federation is that the dumping of Favalt Steel Group has affected the survival of local British steel companies and further led to a decline in the income of local British steel workers - 30% of local British steel companies have closed down in the past two years.
, the rest are also struggling to survive. Costs have soared, profits have dropped, and there is a serious shortage of operations. Factory owners can only try their best to reduce costs." Sidney Milner looked sarcastic. The capitalists in the steel companies have not yet spoken, and the labor union
The first one to jump out is that it is indeed very British.
"The decline in the income of steel workers is a problem of the steel factory. What does it have to do with us?" Henry's face was gloomy. The Labor Federation was obviously being used as a weapon. It must be said that this move really caught Henry off guard.
When people think of steel companies, the first thing that comes to mind is either Fawalt Steel Group in Southern Africa or Carnegie in the United States. In fact, there are also a large number of steel companies in the United Kingdom, but they are not large in scale and have not formed a similar structure to Fawalt and Carnegie.
Such a monopoly group.
At the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, British steel companies played a huge role. It is said that the main natural resources in Britain are coal, iron, and oil.
However, the biggest problem with British local iron ore is insufficient grade. Just like the gold mines in the Rand mining area, with a grade of five grams per ton, it is undoubtedly a rich ore under normal circumstances, but in the Rand mining area it is on the verge of being abandoned.
.
The same goes for the British iron ore. When there is no other choice, the British iron ore is really delicious. However, as more and more iron ores are discovered, the British iron ore becomes useless.
Coupled with objective factors such as labor costs, policy taxes, and intensified competition, the decline of British domestic steel companies is actually inevitable.
"It doesn't matter whether there is a connection or not, as long as the London District Court thinks there is a connection." Rock knew very well that this lawsuit was just a preview. If Southern Africa does not handle it properly, there will be more and more similar lawsuits in the future.
"Bloody hell!" Henry yelled.
Don’t doubt it, the word starting with F is not the British national curse, bloody hell is, meaning damn.
This term originated from the rude aristocratic young people in the 16th and 17th centuries, and these young people were called bloods at that time.
"What's the attitude of the London Magistrates' Court?" Rock suddenly remembered Winston's phone call - for blowing Sting.
"The London Magistrates' Court has accepted the Labor Federation's lawsuit -" Sidney Milner did not say much. The acceptance itself already explained the attitude of the London Magistrates' Court.
"Henry, contact the Labor Federation and see if you can get them to withdraw the lawsuit." Roque tried to solve this problem through the Labor Federation.
"No problem, if they don't withdraw the lawsuit, I will stick the crowbar into their vaginas and throw them into the Thames River!" Henry smiled grimly. British steel capitalists are fierce, and those in southern Africa are no less bad.
Rock and Sidney Milner both covered their faces. Can you believe that such words came from the mouth of the Minister of Justice of Southern Africa?
"Henry, give them some benefits, let them withdraw the lawsuit first, and then settle the accounts later -" Sidney Milner is also very insidious. He can use a crowbar at every turn, but the pound is the big weapon.
"What? You want me to give money to those vampires? Absolutely impossible!" Henry was extremely resistant. Unions in the United Kingdom and the United States, unlike unions in general, have become tools of interest groups and are not serving the working class wholeheartedly.
.
"No, wait, giving benefits may not be useful-" Roque was sensitive to the fact that this matter might not be solved with money.
The Federation of Labor is actually the British Labor Party.
On February 27, 1900, the Labor Representative Committee was established in London.
In 1906, the Labor Representative Council was renamed the Labor Party.
The Labor Party developed rapidly. In February 1918, it adopted a new party constitution, which stipulated that in addition to retaining the original collective party membership system, it would also set up organizations in each constituency to recruit individual party members.
Last year, the Labor Party actually became the second largest party in the UK, second only to the Conservative Party, which is currently in power.
A fact that Roque cannot ignore is that this year the British Parliament will hold a general election. If Roque remembers correctly, the Labor Party will become the second largest party in the British House of Commons in this election. Next year, the leader of the British Labor Party Ramsay Mack
Downer will be appointed to form a cabinet and become the first Labor Prime Minister in British history.
The ruling Conservative Party has always maintained good relations with Southern Africa, and Southern African products are selling well in the Commonwealth with the tacit approval of the Conservative Party.
Well, the Labor Federation filed this lawsuit at this time. The timing is very delicate. It is less than five months before the congressional election. The Labor Federation is dancing so happily at this time. It is obvious that it is trying to win the favor of voters. This is definitely something that cannot be solved with money.
Yes, unless Ramsay Macdonald gives up his political ideals just to make money.
"What should I say?" Henry didn't look at the problem as deeply as Rock.
"Be prepared to lose the case -" Rock faced reality. In fact, Rock had reminded Henry of this issue a long time ago, but it was a pity that Henry did not pay attention to it.
The biggest difference between Roque and Henry is that Roque has always been vigilant about London, while Henry is not vigilant in this regard, or subconsciously does not realize that southern Africa and the British mainland may one day break apart.
Nyasaland Enterprises have done very well in this regard. Whether in the UK or in Europe, Nyasaland Enterprises never come forward to fight in person. They try their best to cooperate with local interest groups. There is Reina in Roque, France.
De Capet serves as the spokesman for interests, and in the UK there are Winston and Neville.
In order to hide from others, Roque established a large number of companies in the UK and France to sell goods produced by Nyasaland companies. These companies were obviously local companies, so naturally they did not attract attention.
Henry had no awareness of this aspect. Roque had long ago advised Henry to acquire some local British steel companies and maintain operations even if they lost money. They should be used as the vest of the Farwalte Steel Group.
Unfortunately, Henry still regarded himself as an Englishman in his heart, and did not realize that the status of southern Africa and Britain had undergone subtle changes, so this lawsuit was launched.
"Losing the case? Impossible. Fawalt Steel Group also has a legal department. I hire hundreds of lawyers every year just to deal with the blackmail by the villains." Henry had a firm attitude and was superstitious about the power of capital.
The power of capital is indeed very powerful, but it cannot be overwhelming.
Just when Henry was confident, Ramsay Macdonald was also confident at the Labor Party headquarters in London.
"It doesn't matter whether we win or lose the lawsuit. What's important is that we let more people know that we are speaking out for the interests of local steel workers. The conservatives and liberals don't care about the interests of workers. Only we, the Labor Federation,
Only then will he serve Britain wholeheartedly." Ramsay Macdonald did not receive higher education. He was the illegitimate son of a farm worker and a maid. He was educated in a missionary school. When he became an adult, he came to London from his hometown and worked as a servant and conductor.
, know what ordinary British people care about.
Ordinary people don't care about national interests or the international situation. What they care about is daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. From this point of view, Ramsay Macdonald has a very accurate grasp of the mentality of ordinary people.
"The situation is not good. We approached the Times and the Daily Mail, and their editors did not agree to publish information related to the lawsuit in the newspapers, even if we paid for it." Ramsay Mack
Downer's deputy, Oswald Maudsley, was a radical young man who was unaware of Times News Group's relationship with southern Africa.
"You have got the wrong target. Don't look for newspapers related to the Times News Group. They are all the property of Lord Nyasaland. Of course they will not publish information related to litigation." Philip, one of the founders of the Labor Party.
Snowden looked solemn. The Labor Party is now facing a super behemoth.
