Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

The Commonwealth is a closed market. Except for goods from Commonwealth countries, it is difficult for goods from other countries to enter the Commonwealth market. This is the main reason why the United States has always wanted to break the old colonial system.

The Commonwealth system was originally designed to serve the United Kingdom. The colonies and dominions were dominated by a single economy and had to maintain a huge dependence on the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom relied on trade to draw blood from the colonies and overseas dominions to maintain the British mainland.

economic prosperity.

The rise of southern Africa disrupted all this.

Southern Africa is also a Commonwealth country. Within the Commonwealth, Southern African goods enjoy the same status as British goods. As the industrial strength of Southern Africa continues to improve, British goods are losing ground in the competition with Southern African goods. This is why London

The fundamental reason for the continued demands for concessions from Southern Africa.

The Commonwealth was, after all, founded by the British.

Generally speaking, before the economic crisis broke out, British local products could still maintain a certain degree of competitiveness. The British ruling party was mainly focused on domestic politics and had no time or energy to deal with relations with southern Africa.

Now that the Conservative Party is back in power and Neville has finally won the coveted prime ministership, southern Africa has become a key factor in reviving the British economy.

Winston's attitude was very clear. If Southern Africa did not give up more profits, then London would expel Southern Africa from the Commonwealth.

After learning about this situation, the Southern African cabinet collectively lost its voice. Losing the Commonwealth market is undoubtedly a huge loss for Southern Africa. Cabinet members have never faced such a severe situation.

"The specific situation is this. If we don't transfer more benefits to the mainland, then we will lose the Commonwealth market." Roque was calm, which is actually a good thing.

I still remember that when Roque proposed "putting Asia before Europe" a few days ago, most cabinet members disagreed.

This is understandable. After all, the current cabinet members are still British in principle. The influence of the British has been deeply rooted. To get rid of the shackles of the British, more psychological construction is needed.

Now here comes the slap in the face. Southern Africa still wants to embrace the British, but the British refuse to do so. So what will happen in the future?

At this moment, apart from Roark, everyone including Anton was probably more confused inside.

"To what extent?" Irving looked solemn. If he loses the Commonwealth market, he will have to tighten his belt.

"You can try to talk to Winston." Rock was not sure how much London's appetite was now.

"Give me more gold?" Ada didn't want to lose the Commonwealth market unless she had to.

"Further lowering the price of raw materials——" Henry's expression was gloomy. London had been coveting the resources of southern Africa.

"For trade settlement, Winston will definitely demand that all be settled in pounds. This is what he has always hoped for -" Yang Smooth's investment circle focused on the increasing impact of the rand on the pound. Australia has begun to use the rand with southern Africa.

Special settlement.

"Gentlemen, if we start to compromise, then their appetite will become more and more greedy, and our bottom line will continue to decline. In the end, I'm afraid it will end like this." Stoudemire sneered. If Southern Africa breaks away from the Commonwealth, Stoudemire may be

The happiest thing is that he doesn't care whether his own interests will be damaged at all.

Again, when it comes to Stoudemire's level, it doesn't matter whether he makes money or not.

"No, we must determine a bottom line." Owen took a deep breath and began to digest this fact.

"If we leave the Commonwealth, what is the worst situation and what good will it do to us?" Henry is more radical. The Southern African Iron Triangle has always advanced and retreated together.

"The worst situation is that we are isolated by the whole world -" Yang Smozi's judgment of the situation was still very accurate.

"It's not that serious. The United States has been shouting isolationism for decades, and Americans have not been isolated from the world." Ada is French and doesn't have much affection for Britain.

"Losing the Commonwealth market is not the end of the world. We still have the Southern African Union." Stoudemire is becoming more and more confident.

"If we leave the Commonwealth, will our mines in Australia be affected?" Henry is a stakeholder. Australia's iron ore is the main source of raw materials for Favalte Steel Group.

"If Australia dares to close our iron mines, we will simply block the entire Indian Ocean!" Stoudemire became so fierce that the Anglo-Saxons even beat themselves up.

"Wait a minute, gentlemen, the matter is not serious enough yet." Ade really couldn't bear to listen. If no one reminded him, these militants were going to start the Second World War.

"Yes, even if we leave the Commonwealth, it is not the end of the world for us -" Roque concluded his speech. The situation is not bad, at least better than Roque expected: "-Losing the support of southern Africa is not a bad thing for the United Kingdom.

It is also a huge loss. London must be very clear about this. What Cecil just said is right. If we start to compromise, we will become accustomed to compromise. This is a game and a war without smoke. We must never

Don’t give in!”

At the end of the meeting, Ade stayed behind, hoping that Roque would be more cautious.

"If possible, I certainly hope that southern Africa will stay in the Commonwealth, but this is not decided by us. When we southern Africans begin to pursue a better life, the contradiction between us and London will become more and more serious. The Commonwealth market

It's big, but it's only so big. The more market we occupy, the United Kingdom's share will be smaller. Since the problem cannot be solved, then solve the person who raised the problem." Rock was also tired of having someone gesticulating around him at any time.

, the key is that it still points to the wrong place, which is very annoying.

"Leaving the Commonwealth will directly face pressure from all over the world. Is Southern Africa ready for this?" Adelaide will not compromise, otherwise Southern Africa will not obtain autonomous status during Adelaide's administration.

"If we stay in the Commonwealth, won't there be no pressure?" Roque is not afraid of competition, and even has some vague expectations.

"Then just go ahead and do it!" Ade still gave Rock all his trust as before.

Then just go ahead and do it.

According to Rock's instructions, Owen should try to talk to Winston first to see if there is any improvement.

Winston was resolute and demanded not only more gold, cheaper raw materials, and the strengthening of the pound's status, but also the liberalization of some financial markets in southern Africa and the lifting of restrictions on British capital entering southern Africa.

As mentioned earlier, the United States took advantage of the once-in-a-decade economic crisis to loot Europe, mainly British capital.

The economic performance of Southern Africa is now better than that of the United States, and British capital has also shifted its investment direction to Southern Africa.

Roque had already been prepared for this. Southern Africa had great restrictions on foreign capital and the supervision of financial markets was much stricter than that of the United States. This disappointed London.

Winston asked Southern Africa to further liberalize its financial market. The purpose is definitely not to inject capital into Southern African enterprises and promote the development of Southern African enterprises, but to use financial means to profit from Southern Africa. To put it bluntly, it is to use the financial system of the United States.

The gameplay is copied to southern Africa.

Southern Africa will definitely not agree with this.

Winston's demands were not limited to these. While making the above demands, Winston also asked Southern Africa to open up restrictions on Persian Gulf oil and Australian iron ore. While giving up more shares, it also gave shareholders due diligence.

Have the right to speak.

This touches on Rock's bottom line.

Roque agreed to sell part of the shares of Adan Company in order to gain the support of the elite in the United Kingdom. For this reason, Roque was willing to pay a portion of dividends every year in exchange for the unimpeded sales of Adan Company.

Now the powerful elites of the United Kingdom are looking to Shu. Not only do they want dividends, but they also want to lend a hand to the management of Adan Company. This is no longer a game, but blackmail by Hongguoguo.

Not surprisingly, the negotiations failed completely.

It can be seen that the United Kingdom is unwilling to lose the support of southern Africa unless it is absolutely necessary.

So after the negotiation failed, Winston took the initiative to visit Rock, hoping that Rock would give in.

"Locke, you have to think clearly. Once Southern Africa is expelled from the Commonwealth, then Southern African goods will not be able to enter the Commonwealth market, and Southern Africa will no longer be able to receive all help from the Commonwealth, including Australian iron ore;

Southern Africa will also lose all overseas military bases obtained from the United Kingdom——" Winston went too far, and Rock couldn't help but interrupt.

"Wait Winston, I hope you understand that the trade between southern Africa and Australia will not be affected by anyone. As for overseas military bases, do you mean Halifax and the Bahamas? Yes, as long as the United Kingdom

If you are willing to return the money Southern Africa invested in Halifax and the Bahamas, then Southern Africa can return these two military bases to the United Kingdom - "Roque is not afraid of this threat. Why did the United Kingdom abandon Khalifa?"

Fox and the Bahamas, it was not because of British conscience, but because Britain was unable to maintain a huge overseas military base, so it had to strategically shrink.

To put it bluntly, even if Halifax and the Bahamas were returned to the UK in southern Africa, the UK would not be able to maintain them, and Canada would be the first to object.

Canadians know all too well what losing the protection of southern Africa means to Canada today.

"No, I'm talking about Diego Garcia and Changi Naval Base -" Winston smiled grimly, London didn't want Halifax and the Bahamas.

"Yes, but Diego Garcia and Changi Naval Base are not returned, but purchased. You have to pay for it in London." Rock sneered. After eating the meat in his mouth, he still wanted Rock to spit it out?

"Tell me, how many pounds?" Winston said confidently.

"No, it's not pounds, it's rand, or gold..." Roque was not fooled. Since he was about to leave the Commonwealth, why would he need pounds?
