Although there were a million Lee Enfield in the strategic warehouse, Rock would not send them all at once, the first batch of Lee Enfield sent to the mainland was 400,000 in March 1913, and every month after that, Nyasaland would deliver 100,000 rifles to the War Department until the order was completed.

At this time, the monthly production of rifles by the Nyasaland military-industrial complex had reached 100,000 units, and Matilda's factory was in full swing, not only rifles, but also the production of pistols and general-purpose machine guns had soared, and the monthly production of automatic rifles had also reached more than 800.

The sales of rifles are better, the sales of general-purpose machine guns and automatic rifles are not very good, and the War Department's order for the Nyasaland military-industrial complex does not include general-purpose machine guns and automatic rifles.

Roque is not in a hurry, as time goes by, the demand for automatic weapons in various countries will explode, the British Army now has only a dozen machine guns in a division, and it will reach more than 500 in a few years, and then only the Nyasaland Military Industrial Group in the world can meet the needs of various countries for automatic weapons.

At the end of March, some members of Congress proposed to take back the independent foreign trade rights of large enterprises in southern Africa, and the federal government would buy goods and sell them to the outside world, so that most of the profits could be kept in the federal government.

MP Edmund Gaunt of the bill is from Cape's Progressive Party, Dutch descent and former member of the Cape Town Ocean Trading Company.

Before Roque formed the Nyasaland Ocean Trading Company, the Cape Town Ocean Trading Company was the most powerful shipping company in Southern Africa, with more than 200 ocean freighters at its peak, and its business spread throughout the European and American Far East.

With the rise of the Nyasaland Ocean Trading Company and Port Edward, the status of the Cape Town Ocean Trading Company and the Port of Cape Town has been declining year by year, and now Cape Town, like Durban, is gradually marginalized, and after the completion of the Port of Walvis Bay, Port Edward will completely replace Cape Town.

"Senator Gaunt, be sensible, let's continue to discuss the issue of Walvis Bay." Philip didn't want to discuss this issue, and the largest exporters in southern Africa, except for Xiao Si's South African company, were all related to Roque and Henry, and even because of the cross-share swap, Roque and Henry also had shares in South African companies, so there was no need to discuss this issue at all.

Although the proposal seems to be good for southern Africa, if it passes, at least half of the 135 members of parliament will have to be replaced in a week's time.

Even if the term of office has not yet expired, you can resign voluntarily.

"We've lost a lot of money to build the Walvis Bay Railroad, and we're going to have to kill at least a thousand people every month—" Edmund Gaunt snapped.

"Shut up, where did you get the data? There are still a thousand people, why don't you say ten thousand, that is even more sensational! "Without Philip speaking, Irving, the Liberal Party and the chairman of the ruling party, immediately slapped the table.

"Be careful what you say, be responsible for your words, or you will suffer a lawsuit-" Aiden said in a strange mood, and the South African company owns 20 percent of the Pacific Railway.

The Pacific Railroad has never released this data, it doesn't matter what you say in private, it will definitely get you in trouble if Congress says so, and the Pacific Railroad also has a stake in the federal government.

Buck didn't speak, just looked through the papers in front of him, and he was elected to Congress as a member of the Liberal Party.

"We're just going to nationalize all the private businesses so that all the profits go to the federal government." The words of Altman Brewster, a member of parliament from the Nyasaland party, caused a burst of laughter, and the fact that Nyasaland is home to the largest private enterprise in southern Africa is nothing more than heckling.

"Unified purchasing and marketing will greatly increase the profits of the federal government, alleviate the financial crisis of the federal government, and can integrate the resources of southern Africa to further increase the competitiveness of enterprises, why don't you see so many benefits? What are you worried about? Or do you serve the federal government or the private sector? Edmund Gaunt was righteous, and the laughter immediately stopped, and the parliamentarians looked at each other, not knowing what Edmund Gaunt had taken the wrong medicine.

Unified buying and selling is certainly good for the federal government, and everyone here knows it.

The problem is that this is simply not possible, and it is true that parliamentarians are supposed to serve the federal government, but they are also representing the interests of private business, and everyone knows that.

Originally, there were some things that everyone could understand by themselves, and there was no need to tear their faces and put them on the table, Edmund Gaunt's words were indeed politically correct, but they had no effect.

"You're a fart, you're not working for a private business? You wouldn't have had a chance to sit here without campaign funding from the Cape Town Ocean Trading Company, where everyone is in the service of private business. "Aiden is welcome, Owen and Buck are both scumbags, and Aiden charges forward every time.

"I'm not—" Jerry Moulton, a People's Party MP from Orange, was finally given the opportunity to speak, since the end of the Boer War, Orange has not had a single company with national influence, and it is one of the worst states in southern Africa, and Bechuana has fallen behind.

Bechuana Agriculture is now a very strong company, and its influence is now not limited to Bechuana, but also in Orange, Cape and Natal, where Bechuana Agriculture has a large number of industries.

"What the hell are you farting, listen to you, are you on the side of the South African company or on the side of the federal government?" Edmund Gaunt retorted that others were afraid of South African companies, but Edmund Gaunt was not afraid, and that the Cape Town Ocean Trading Company had British capital and was not a purely local southern African company.

"Shut up, it's okay to debate, if someone scolds the street again, the special Lao Tzu will be striking!" The veins in Philip's head were beating, and the congressmen, and the aunts who bought vegetables at the vegetable market were more gentle than them.

Aiden looked just as Philip scolded him, and sat down contentedly with his bow tie, looking left and right in anticipation of triumph.

Edmund Gaunt pouted, as tragic as Don Quixote charging at the windmill, leaning his neck straight and not giving up.

"Councillor Gaunt, unified purchase and sales are the most ideal state, but in fact it is impossible to achieve it." Buck finally finished reading the information in his hand, took off his glasses and felt calm.

Buck is a little older than Roque, but not a few years older, it's only been a few years, Buck's hair is half white, his glasses are slowly thickening from the monocle to the bottom of the bottle, and the congressman also has the troubles of the congressman, which is very disturbing.

"Why is it impossible? Just because of the selfishness of private entrepreneurs? Edmund Gaunt had finally found someone willing to communicate with him normally.

"No, no, no, sales, because of sales, Councillor Gaunt, including all of you, you should have more or less business, maybe very large, maybe small, if you give the right to sell to the federal government, then Councilor Gaunt, can you ensure that the federal government can sell the products produced by the company?" Buck knows how to oppress people with power, the minority obeys the majority, and everyone is calm and reasonable.

"Of course Councillor Gaunt can guarantee that he would not have made such a brain-dead proposal." Aiden mends the knife, just like in the business field, the South African company and the Nyasaland agricultural company have unlimited tacit understanding.

"Congressman Barker, our products from southern Africa are of high quality and inexpensive, and they are competitive enough in the world market, and Europe is on the verge of war, so we should unite to form a scale advantage to seize the European market, and the Americans are doing just that." Edmund Gaunt is also valid, but he ignores the fact that the United States is also dependent on the rise of private enterprise, just as it is in southern Africa.

"The Americans can do business with the Germans, we can't." Buck is calm, the United States is now on the left and right, but Southern Africa has a natural position, and this cannot be changed.

"Mr. Barker, what MP Gaunt means is that the federal government will nationalize the sales rights, and then the Cape Town Ocean Shipping Company will be able to take over the business of the federal government, so that a business on the verge of failure can be brought back to life, and Cape Town can return to its former prosperity—" Altman seemed to laugh, and companies that could not adapt to the development of the times would sooner or later be abandoned by the times, and South African companies were also enterprises left over from the colonial era, and they are still vibrant.

So in the final analysis, it is not a matter of market sales, the key to the enterprise is people.

"We can't spend our limited time discussing these pointless issues, we might as well just vote on it—" Owen took the initiative to end the topic, or to decide the outcome in a democratic way.

"Will there be any change in the outcome of the vote?" Edmund Gaunt was speechless.

"What do you mean, Councilor Gaunt? Are you questioning the rights of Congress? "Philip's courage to deny the fairness of democracy is really reprehensible.

"I'm not—" Edmund Gaunt realized he had made a big mistake.

"Yes, that's right, the outcome of the vote will not change, and Congressman Gaunt means that Congress is an evil organization controlled by a few-" Aiden was originally a stone, but was also glared at by Philip.

"I didn't—"

"Just dissolve Congress, let Councillor Gaunt be king, and implement the imperial system in southern Africa—" Altman was speechless and endless.

"Don't talk nonsense—" Edmund Gaunt was taken aback, there was a king in southern Africa, King George V of England.

"Shut up, vote now." Philip decisively called a halt, and if it continues, it will be almost impossible for Congress to be dissolved.
