1124 King Tota
"Isaac Pansy and Isaiah Chamberlain are a little bit inflated, they're both getting to the point where they're going to retire and want to fight before they retire."
"There are Americans behind this incident, and they are trying to create disputes around our southern Africa."
"Birrell Page is worth paying attention to, he wants to run for president, and if he is elected, our relationship with the Republic of the Congo could continue to deteriorate."
"On Boma's side, Secretary of the Interior Donald Sassoon and Secretary of Commerce Benson Moore can be trusted, and Mayor Willie Black of Soyo has a good relationship with us, and he is hopeful of running for the presidency."
Douglas and Bradley complement each other, and Buck finally gets a general idea of what is going on in the Republic of the Congo.
"The embassy is preparing a thank-you reception here, and I will invite all these people over, and I want to talk to them alone." Buck is in good hands, the Republic of the Congo is a country that was single-handedly supported by southern Africa, and if it were not for the intervention of southern Africa, the Republic of Congo would have been annexed by the Kingdom of Congo long ago, although Isaac Pansy and Isaiah Chamberlain are inflated, after all, they still have relatively clear brains.
It is a dereliction of duty to say that southern Africa has such a great influence on the Republic of the Congo that only these few pro-southern African officials have been cultivated.
Sending Douglas and Bradley away, Buck looks through the materials sent by Douglas and Bradley.
On the whole, the situation in the Republic of the Congo is good, with the exception of Pansy, Chamberlain, and Peggy, most of the officials of the Republic of the Congo maintain good relations with southern Africa.
On the contrary, there is a louder opposition to southern Africa in parliament, mainly because of the interests involved.
As mentioned earlier, the resources of the Republic of the Congo are mainly exported to southern Africa.
There is an obvious problem here, the same ton of ore can be sold for ten rand in Europe or the United States, and only one rand in southern Africa.
There is certainly a freight factor, but the more important factor is that most of the mineral resources in the Republic of the Congo are controlled by southern African companies, and the Congolese people do not enjoy the benefits of resource development.
Especially for parliamentarians who have some power in their hands.
For officials, the impact is relatively small, and they receive salaries.
Knowing the specific situation in the Republic of the Congo, Buck also had a plan, but the specific plan still had to be communicated with Pretoria, and Buck could not make a decision alone.
The next morning, Isaac Pansy came early to report.
Buck had traveled long distances, slept for less than four hours, and was unusually tired, but in good spirits.
Unlike last night's harmony, when we meet again today, Buck is not welcome.
"Do you have to build an arsenal?" Buck wore only a shirt and no jacket, in stark contrast to Isaac Pansy, who was meticulous in his three-piece suit.
"Mr. Speaker, it wasn't our decision to build an arsenal—" Isaac Pansy tried to shake the pot.
"I don't care whose decision it is, you have to think about the consequences-" Buck was domineering, directly interrupting Isaac Pansy.
Isaac Pansy has an ugly expression, and he is also the president of a country, so he is so sideways when he comes up, it's too shameless.
Buck really doesn't give face, the vassal state must have the consciousness of the vassal state, don't half-heartedly eat the bowl and look at the pot, the Americans are so kind? Look at what Mexico has become when it is bullied by the Americans.
Historically, Mexico is not less than 2 million square kilometers now, Texas, California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, and more than half of Colorado in the United States were all snatched from Mexico, with a total area of more than 2.3 million square kilometers, which is larger than Mexico now.
No wonder Mexico laments that God is too far away and the United States is too close.
"Our Deputy Minister of Defense will visit the Kingdom of Congo next month, and he may come to Boma at that time, so if you do, you can have a good exchange." Buck is not a cannon, this is a real threat of war.
Barker's implication is that if the Republic of the Congo insists on going its own way, then the deputy minister is unlikely to come to the Republic of the Congo, and most of the troops from the Kingdom of the Congo will come.
Isaac Pansy's face turned pale, and the reaction of Southern Africa was more intense than Isaac Pansy and Isaiah Chamberlain had imagined, and the consequences were beyond the reach of the Republic of the Congo.
Although the Republic of the Congo is a country founded by white people, in fact, the majority of the population of the Republic of the Congo is still African.
Now in the Republic of the Congo, there are less than 300,000 whites, and the total number of people of African descent is more than 4 million, so if the army of the Kingdom of the Congo really fights, it is really difficult to say whether the troops of the Republic of the Congo, which are mainly African-American, will defect.
Isaac Pansy and Isaiah Chamberlain were optimistic partly because of the support of the United States, and partly because of the neglect of the Republic of Congo in southern Africa over the years.
This gave Isaac Pansy and Isaiah Chamberlain the illusion that southern Africa did not attach much importance to the Republic of Congo.
Hey, how do you feel a little bit of Stockholm syndrome?
"Southern Africa and the Republic of Congo have always had a friendly relationship, and we have a lot of common interests, and I think we should focus on issues where we can develop together, such as tariff reciprocity, rather than on these things that will seriously affect our relations." Buck hit a stick to give a sweet date, and the tariff "mutual benefit" is, to put it bluntly, a concession.
For example, if tariffs are abolished between southern Africa and the Republic of Congo, then it will definitely be southern Africa that will benefit more.
But there is a problem here: after the removal of tariffs, the Republic of Congo government will lose money, and the business will gain a lot from it, which is a major benefit for business owners.
And the business owners in the Republic of the Congo, hehe-
"Of course, of course, we should focus on these issues—" Isaac Pansy was sweating all over his head, and his hand shaking as he pulled out his handkerchief to wipe his sweat was shaking, and as a result, he messed up his hairstyle when he wiped the sweat, and he looked rather embarrassed.
"That's right, I communicated with Governor Kitchener and Prime Minister Philip before I came, and we agreed to raise the price of commodities that buy resources from Boma, and at the same time reduce the tariffs on imported goods, how do you feel?" Buck is still satisfied with Isaac Pansy's attitude.
With the influence of southern Africa on the Republic of the Congo, if Isaac Pansy is not obedient, southern Africa can use its resources to exchange a president.
Instigating the war of the Kingdom of Congo against the Republic of Congo is the next policy, changing the president is the middle policy, Buck is now implementing the best policy, the child is disobedient, just spank the ass, there is no need to throw it directly into the orphanage, let alone throw it into the well and drown, not to that extent.
Or, in other words, southern Africa should also consider the impact of a direct war or a change of president.
After all, the Republic of Congo is making such a scene, and the Kingdom of Congo and the Kingdom of Mozambique are all watching, and if Southern Africa does not show any mercy, it will definitely have an adverse impact on the Kingdom of Congo and the Kingdom of Mozambique.
At this level, it is necessary to mobilize the whole body, and Southern Africa is the dominant power in southern Africa, and it cannot act recklessly.
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, we will also increase the amount of goods we buy from southern Africa - no, we will only buy goods from southern Africa in the future, and we will also reduce the tariffs on goods from southern Africa-" Isaac Pansy did not dare to say that it would be abolished, the imposition of tariffs on goods from southern Africa was one of the few sources of income for the Republic of the Congo, and once it was canceled, the Republic of the Congo would have to drink the northwest wind.
Isaac Pansy's promise is mainly in response to the purchase of machines from the United States, and the implication is: I know it's wrong, I'll change it!
Although the Republic of the Congo is not strong, after all, there is a market of 4 or 5 million people, although those Africans do not have high requirements for life, but after all, they have to eat, they have to wear clothes, and the amount of textiles imported by the Republic of Congo from southern Africa every year is more than 20 million rand, I can't imagine that the Republic of Congo is such a big country, and there is no textile industry, and all textiles have to be imported from southern Africa.
"Hehehehe, before I came, Lord Nyasaland asked me to bring you a gift—I am here to present you and Prime Minister Chamberlain with two private jets, which are the same as those used by Lord Matilda, and the comfort is quite good—" The next is the favorite gift-giving session, Roque gave Isaac Pansy a craft pistol produced by the Nyasaland military industry.
Giving the president a pistol feels like it's not very harmonious.
However, considering Roque's identity, this gift can also be justified.
Roc gave Isaac Pansy a luger pistol made entirely of gold, with diamonds on the hilt and eight bullets also made of gold.
Don't doubt it, this shot can be fired, but it's a bit expensive.
When Isaac Pansy accepted the gift, his expression was obviously complicated.
It is indeed a gift, but there is another meaning, if you are obedient, this gift is a symbol of friendship, and if you are disobedient -
That's the threat of the red fruit.
Don't doubt it, with Roque's usual style, Isaac Pansy has no doubt about Roque's bottom line.
In retrospect, Isaac Pansy certainly had to be courteous.
However, Isaac Pansy returned the favor to Roque and would not dare to send a gun.
What Isaac Pansy gave Roque was an ivory carved pagoda, and it was also the kind of pagoda shape that the Chinese were very familiar with.
King Tota!
This gift is also very meaningful.
