Reborn as a police officer in South Africa
1560 I want to be beautiful
The news of Haig’s death immediately spread throughout the world, and countless people were shocked.
No matter how he was a butcher, Haig was also a marshal of the British Empire, a dignified governor of southern Africa, the first Earl of Haig, and a famous general who led the British Expeditionary Force during the World War.
The federal government of Southern Africa immediately reported to London, and the Times published the cause of Haig's death in the newspaper. The suspicions all pointed to the American products used by Haig, which also aroused dissatisfaction in the United States and the United Kingdom.
The dissatisfaction of the United States is that before the hazards of radium products have been recognized, it is irresponsible for The Times to blame Hague's death on radium products.
And even if there is a problem with radium products, it does not mean that all American products have problems. The Times's unscrupulous map bombing is a slander against American products.
The British dissatisfaction is that Haig is a British marshal, but his personal belongings are American products. Although this is true, it will have a certain impact on the image of the British government if it is widely publicized in newspapers.
Roark did not shy away from saying that what should be done should be done as it should be. The fact that Haig died of radium radiation does not mean that American products are not good. Haig does not use southern African products, which does not prove that southern African products are worse than American products.
According to the request of Haig's family, Haig's body must be returned to the UK for burial.
Roark agreed that although it was summer in southern Africa in December, it would not be a problem to return Haig's body to the mainland as long as a little more ice was used.
The British government also responded very quickly. The day after Hague passed away, the British announced the candidate for the new Governor-General of Southern Africa.
This time the British government finally made no mistake again and appointed Winston as the new Governor-General of Southern Africa.
This is killing two birds with one stone. Appointing Winston as the Governor-General of Southern Africa will not only eliminate the resistance of the federal government in Southern Africa to the greatest extent, but also kick Winston away from London. South Africa will prevent Winston from staying in London.
It's an eyesore. Compared to this appointment, many people will be happy.
It is not ironic to use the phrase "dangguanxiangqing" here.
It’s funny to say that Winston, who led Britain to victory during the World War, was abandoned by mainstream British society after the World War, and for a time he could not even retain his qualifications as a member of Parliament.
To quell the controversy, Stanley Baldwin appointed Winston Minister of State, a position that was almost insulting to Winston.
Winston has no choice. People are afraid of being famous as pigs are afraid of being strong. Both the Conservative Party and the Labor Party are very wary of Winston and worry about Winston making a comeback.
So Winston could only participate in British politics as an Independent Party member.
If you do the math, Winston is only in his early 50s now. For a politician, he has just entered his golden age.
When Winston arrived in southern Africa, it was already Christmas Eve in 1926.
We can’t blame Winston for being criticized many times. When he came to take office in southern Africa, Winston’s personal luggage alone filled ten trucks with nearly a hundred people accompanying him. After entering the Governor’s Palace, Winston transferred the staff of the Governor’s Palace to
Replace them all to ensure Winston's privacy to the greatest extent possible.
This is also understandable. The all-pervasive intelligence capabilities of Bullard's office are already well-known around the world. Winston does not want his every move to be monitored by Bullard's office.
When Haig was governor-general, an independent telegraph room had been established in the governor-general's palace, which could directly communicate with the mainland. This was how the rift was created bit by bit.
"Don't you have anything containing radium in your personal belongings?" Rock joked casually when he saw Winston. The federal government of Southern Africa and the British government simultaneously launched lawsuits against many American companies because of Haig's death.
Things are getting heated now.
"Of course not, I'm not as stupid as Haig!" Winston said he was not virtuous. Southern Africa was also unlucky. There were three governors changed this year. The French were happy this time.
The change of power in French politics has always been the biggest laughing stock of the British when they laugh at the French.
The UK has not fared much better in recent years. First there was a change of power in the Labor Party and the Conservative Party, and this year Kitchener and Hague resigned one after another. France finally gained a point.
Exchange good books. Follow now to receive cash red envelopes!
While Rock and Winston were chatting, the staff of the Government House were unloading the truck. Rock was surprised to find that Winston even brought his own furniture. No wonder the luggage was loaded into ten cars.
This is also a good thing. When the Palace of Justice was being renovated, the works of art that had been taken away by Kitchener could finally be returned to the Palace of Justice in a legitimate manner.
“How does it feel to be kicked out of London?” Rock directly revealed the truth. Winston seemed to be promoted, but in fact he was marginalized again.
“It’s good, just away from the political whirlpool and the winter haze.” Winston laughed, and his mood did not seem to be affected.
Rock didn’t say anything and looked at Winston with a smile.
Winston's laughter gradually stopped, and then he became angrily: "What do you want me to say, do you want me to cry and beg those idiots? Impossible!"
That's right, you should talk to your friends when you have something on your mind. If it's something unhappy, your friends can help you share it.
If it is something happy, you will get double happiness.
"It doesn't matter, they will beg you to go back sooner or later." Rock accidentally revealed the secret. Compared with Winston, the people in Britain now are really not good.
“What do you know?” Winston suspected that Rock’s behavior sometimes was indeed a bit of a charlatan.
Rock’s expression is inscrutable, like the Mona Lisa’s smile.
Winston was angry at "Fa La Ke Ke". He was most annoyed by people who always pretended to be like that.
At noon, Rock hosted a banquet for Winston and his family in the Palace of Justice. This shows that Winston and Haig have different statuses. Haig has never received this kind of treatment in southern Africa for only half a year.
The Rock family and the Winston family have a very good relationship, and the two families get along very well. Rock's daughter and Winston's daughter are handkerchiefs, and they even adopted an elephant together at the Los Angeles Zoo.
The luncheon was a joint affair between the two families. Phyllis and Winston's wife Clementine were in charge of preparing the lunch. Roark and Winston talked at length, with topics ranging from the Commonwealth to the League of Nations to the Southern African Union.
Not included.
Looking at their situation, most people probably can’t get a word in, they can only listen.
"So, the purpose of setting up Najd Oil Company separately is to monopolize the Najd Oilfield. You have a big appetite, so be careful!" Winston was very dissatisfied. He also had shares in Adan Company, although it was not much.
.
Roark’s shares in Adan Company now only account for 60%, and the rest belongs to the British royal family, British princes and nobles, Xiao Si, Henry, Arthur and others.
Roke’s shares must be more than half to ensure control of Adan Company.
There is no relationship between Najd Petroleum Company and Adam Company in terms of equity.
This also means that shareholders of Adan Company cannot obtain income from the Najd Oilfield.
Winston's dissatisfaction mainly lies in this. Even though Rock is already so rich, he still looks so ugly. He really doesn't deserve to be a son of a man.
“Come on, you haven’t made any contribution from the exploration to development of the Najd Oilfield, so why should you share the profits of the Najd Oilfield?” Roque had a good reason. There are too many places to spend money, and it is necessary to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.
Although Roque's income is high, his expenses are also high. The local enterprises in Southern Africa under Roque's name basically maintain a level of no profit or loss. Even if there is profit, it will be used for technology development or expansion of reproduction.
Profits come mainly from Adan Corporation, Umbrella, and investments from Rand Bank and Nyasaland Corporation.
Looking at it this way, it’s actually quite profitable.
“Be careful of causing public outrage, Shell and Anglo-American have been suing you a lot recently,” Winston kindly reminded. Standard Oil and Adam Company set prices against each other, but it was Shell and Anglo-American that suffered the most. This is also a case of fire at the city gate.
After Standard Oil lowered the price of oil to 5 shillings per barrel, Adam Company did not hesitate and directly lowered the price of oil to 4 shillings and 11 pence per barrel. No more, no less, which was one penny cheaper than Standard Oil.
For oil, one penny is already a lot. After all, the oil produced by Adan Company is of good quality, can be supplied in large quantities, and can be delivered to your doorstep, so the refinery is very happy.
Other oil companies, including Standard Oil, were unhappy.
Adan's price reduction means that before Adan's oil is sold out, no one will buy the oil from other oil companies.
However, when you think about the reserves of the Elizabeth field, this is simply despairing.
Now add the Najd Oilfield. It is said that the oil quality of the Najd Oilfield is comparable to that of the Elizabeth Oilfield. This makes the situation even worse. Standard Oil can still hold on, but Anglo-American and Shell have been forced into a desperate situation.
The only thing that Anglo American and Shell can hope for now is that the British government can give Anglo American Petroleum and Royal Shell a certain degree of support in the form of administrative orders, so that Anglo American Petroleum and Royal Shell may be able to survive this crisis.
"Whatever they want, if London dares to restrict Adan Company, I will make the shareholders unable to earn a penny. Who will be sad when you see it." Roque is not afraid of administrative orders. These are all related to interests, and London also needs a bowl of water.
Duanping.
Of course, some people will definitely not, such as Ramsay Macdonald. He does not have shares in Adan Company, so the Labor Party will definitely target Adan Company.
Roque is still not afraid. The conflict between Southern Africa and the Labor Party has long been forged. The Labor Party wants to target Adan Company first before taking office.
To put it bluntly, an opposition party really does not have the qualifications to let Roque take the lead.
“How much is the first-phase investment for Najd Oil Company to develop the Najd Oilfield?” Winston came to southern Africa this time with the expectations of many people.
“What for?” Rock sneered.
"What can you do? You can't monopolize the benefits of the Nejd Oilfield. You must give up part of the shares." Winston was grabbing it openly, but he was also confident: "You set a price and give up at least 50%!"
Fifty percent!
What a beautiful thought.
