Reborn as a police officer in South Africa

1751 The spirit of the contract

Americans are actually quite satisfied with the current situation.

Germany and Japan withdrew from the League of Nations, and the League of Nations had to impose sanctions on Germany and Japan. Britain, France, and South Africa, as permanent members of the League of Nations, also had to reduce trade with Germany and Japan. This part of the market was all occupied by the United States.

By joining the League of Nations, the United States will lose its current trade autonomy, which is absolutely unacceptable to Americans.

What Washington did not expect was that after being rejected by the United States, the Executive Yuan of the League of Nations did not cease its activities as before. Instead, it sent a stern official document to Washington, claiming that if the United States did not join the League of Nations, it would be rejected by the League of Nations.

sanctions.

Roosevelt laughed it off after learning about it.

League of Nations sanctions against the United States——

Putting aside the effect of sanctions, Roosevelt Jr. expressed doubts about whether the League of Nations could achieve this. The League of Nations was not like Southern Africa. Internal strife was extremely serious. Each country had its own interests and positions, and there was no way to form a joint force. The United States originally did so because of

I saw through this, so I didn't join the League of Nations.

"But it's not necessarily true. A southern African is now the Secretary-General of the Executive Council of the League of Nations. Mr. Sean Ferguson's execution ability should be more determined than the previous two secretaries-general, so the League of Nations may still impose sanctions on us.

, but the effect is - haha ​​-" Vice President John Nance Garner, nicknamed Cactus Jack, dismissed this. If the League of Nations could be united, it would not be like this.

"The League of Nations is incomplete without the United States -" Secretary of State Cordell Hull shook his head slightly. He has always been in favor of the United States joining the League of Nations: "-We have never joined the League of Nations. In fact, it will also cause harm to the United States. Now

We are giving up this part of our international influence to southern Africa, and if we are also a member of the League of Nations, then we can try to lead the League of Nations."

Cordell Hull has always been worried about this matter, but whether to join the League of Nations is not the decision of the U.S. government, or even the U.S. Congress, but the U.S. capitalists.

It is outrageous that a country is controlled by businessmen from top to bottom!

It has to be said that the legendary capitalists in the United States also have their own historical limitations. Family heirs such as John Jr. and Morgan Jr. have a huge gap compared with their previous generations. Rockefeller Sr. and Morgan Sr. have been accumulating wealth while

Committed to expanding the international influence of the United States and trying to expand more living space for the United States.

Little John is far behind Little Morgan. After they took over the family businesses of the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family, the business can be said to have plummeted. Although this was affected by the economic crisis and the rise of southern Africa, it should not have declined so fast.

In Henry's words, if you accumulate more capital now, even if your descendants are prodigal, you can still be a prodigal for a while.

"Don't look down on southern Africans -" Roosevelt had always attached great importance to southern Africa.

Southern Africa has now grown to become the United States' biggest competitor.

The economic crisis is moving away, and the U.S. economy is gradually recovering, but it is still far from its peak state. A large part of this is due to the influence of southern Africa.

Think of the entire earth as a big cake. The old imperialist countries led by Britain and France first took away a big piece, and Southern Africa took another big piece. How much is left for the Americans?

During the economic crisis, the U.S. economy experienced a sharp recession, and Southern African products took the opportunity to seize the market. After the U.S. resumed production, U.S. capitalists were surprised to find that all overseas markets were basically taken away by Southern African companies.

The reason why it is "basic" is mainly because Southern Africa does not do business with Japan. Especially after Japan stepped up its expansion in the Far East, Southern Africa almost completely cut off all trade with Japan.

"Haha, as for the current League of Nations, even if a southern African serves as the Secretary-General, what kind of changes can it bring about?" Cactus doesn't care. He is actually a very conservative person and his relationship with Roosevelt is not good.

It can be seen from Roosevelt's series of performances after he came to power that Roosevelt was actually a very radical person.

Roosevelt was not afraid of being criticized. As long as he could pull the United States out of the whirlpool of the economic crisis as soon as possible, he copied all of Southern Africa's methods of dealing with the economic crisis and achieved good results. Now he has successfully gained the trust of most Americans.

Roosevelt did not care about his political image. After taking office, he actively communicated with Rock and made great progress on the issue of aid to Germany and the trade friction between southern Africa and the United States. It can be said that without Roosevelt's efforts, the United States would have

It is impossible to get out of the economic crisis so quickly.

Finally, there is the aid plan to Germany. From this point, it is not difficult to see that Roosevelt’s foreign policy was proactive.

So although Roosevelt Jr. had a good relationship with Cactus during the election campaign, there are now some cracks in the relationship between the two.

At this time, Roosevelt's secretary knocked on the door and came in with a sad face.

"Your Excellency, just now, Iron Four Corners and Favalt Steel Group terminated negotiations with the United Steel Federation."

"Why?" Cactus exclaimed. This news was so bad that it caused Cactus to lose its temper.

Roosevelt could keep his composure and said nothing, but also frowned.

"Economic sanctions, just two hours ago, the League of Nations officially decided to impose sanctions on us——"

The secretary's words were shocking. The legendary sanctions had really come, and the first blow was aimed at the United States.

Back to an hour ago, little Morgan and Schwab were still in a good mood.

Luo Lin and Chen Qiang sang harmoniously, one sang the red face, the other sang the bad face. Little Morgan was alone and had to find Schwab to wave the flag and cheer.

The negotiation was extremely difficult. From the initial refusal to give in to the exhaustion later, the negotiation finally made some progress.

Iron Four Corners and Favalt Steel Group have previously agreed to sell more Metro ore to the United Steel Corporation.

Morgan Jr. also made concessions on price. In recent years, countries have been desperately printing money, and the price of iron ore cannot return to the level it was a few years ago.

So the main issues that both parties are currently struggling with are payment methods and distribution ratios.

Young Morgan hopes to get half of the Iron Square Company's total output.

Iron Four and Fawalt only agreed to hand over a maximum of one-third of the iron ore produced to the United Steel Corporation.

As for the payment method, Morgan Jr. wanted to use U.S. dollars, Iron Square asked for rands, and Schwab tried to propose to Sini that pounds could be used. As a result, Iron Square and Morgan were unanimously opposed.

Whether it’s Rand or US dollars, after all, the meat is still in the pot after it’s rotten.

How can it be calculated in pounds sterling? After all the hard work, wars and negotiations, you end up working for the British?

Only those with water in their heads would give such advice.

He's just a bad teammate.

Just this morning, Morgan Jr. suddenly received a notice from Iron Square and Favalt Steel Group. In view of the fact that the International Alliance has begun to impose sanctions on the United States, Iron Square and Favalt Steel Group have decided to terminate negotiations with the United States Steel Federation.

"Who can tell me, what the hell is going on?" Little Morgan was furious in the room. The negotiations were about to see the light of day, but because of such off-site factors, all the efforts over the past few months were in vain and replaced by

No one can accept it.

"A week ago, Sean Ferguson, the representative of the Southern African League of Nations, began to serve as the Secretary-General of the League of Nations. Then the Executive Council of the League of Nations sent an invitation to Washington, hoping that the United States would join the League of Nations. Washington refused-" Schwab also looked black.

line, this should be considered force majeure.

"Whether the United States joins the League of Nations or not, does it have anything to do with our negotiations with the Southern Africans?" Little Morgan tugged at his few remaining hair. He had exhausted so many brain cells during this period that his hair loss was severe.

Schwab spread his hands. If you ask me, who should I ask?

"Where are the Southern Africans now?" Morgan Jr. tried to redeem himself.

"Probably still in the hotel room -" Schwab didn't hold out much hope. The negotiations between the United States Steel Corporation and the Iron Four were held in the Bahamas, which is quite outrageous.

But it’s not too outrageous. Morgan Jr. certainly hopes that the negotiations will be conducted in the United States. However, Luo Lin and Chen Qiang also hope that the negotiations will be conducted on the territory of Southern Africa. If this is not possible, Halifax will do.

Halifax is a Canadian territory, and the Atlantic home port is in Halifax. Morgan didn't want to see the southern African warships show off their power, so he compromised on both sides and the Bahamas became the best choice.

The key is that the Bahamas is located between southern Africa and the United States, although it is a bit closer to the United States.

But now that there is a telegraph, it is not difficult to contact Pretoria.

The Rhodesian Hotel in Nassau is certainly not as large as the Rhodesian Hotel in Pretoria.

But everything is there. Little Morgan stayed in the presidential suite, while Luo Lin and Chen Qiang stayed in the business room.

Little Morgan didn't dare to neglect and went directly downstairs to find Luo Lin and Chen Qiang.

Luo Lin and Chen Qiang were indeed in the room, and they were listening to the radio. What was playing on the radio was Rock's congratulatory message to Sean Ferguson.

It is definitely a good thing for southern Africa that a southern African serves as the Secretary-General of the League of Nations, and it is gratifying.

When little Morgan came in, Chen Qiang turned off the radio.

"Luo, Southern Africa is an independent country, how can it be affected by an organization like the League of Nations?" Young Morgan hoped that the negotiations would continue. Since the conflict broke out in Brazil, the Rockefeller family's steel plant has been out of food and is in desperate need of food.

"No, no, no, southern Africans abide by the spirit of the contract. Since we have joined the League of Nations, we must be bound by the League of Nations." Luo Lin said seriously.

Little Morgan felt extremely uncomfortable. You, a southern African, are qualified to talk to me about the spirit of the contract?
