Hunger marketing in 1921 was as full of routines as hunger marketing in the future.

The $255 Washington car does have it, but you can only get the most basic and cheap version, and if you want more equipment and more comfort, you will have to pay a higher price.

The silver Washington car in the showroom was the top-of-the-line version, costing $1,850, which was not far behind the base Lord.

Even the most basic and cheap version is quite capable compared to the Ford Model T, with a sleek shape, surging power, and two rows of chairs in the front and back that are like big sofas, making everyone crazy.

Americans' love for sofas is beyond the ordinary, an American can not buy a house, but you must buy a sofa, you go to an American's house as a guest, you don't have to praise his child is very smart, praise his sofa is very comfortable, will make the owner happier.

Tom Sr. ended up spending $360 and ordered a red Washington sedan, which was slightly over budget, but Washington Motor offered a car installment loan, which Tom Sr. even regretted a little when he signed it.

Alas, I knew I could take out a loan, and I should have bought that $420 one with all my heart.

However, $360 in Washington is enough to meet most of the daily needs of Tom Sr. and his family, although he will not be able to get the car until May 1, and Tom Sr. is still happy when he walks out of the Washington store.

Mike Carlisle and Beckland are also pleased that for the whole of April, the total number of orders for Washington Motors in the United States totaled 350,000 units, and with the current production capacity of Washington Motors, it will take about half a year to complete these orders.

This time it's really not hunger marketing, but the output really can't keep up, and the opening of a new factory is imminent.

Regardless of the sales of Washington cars, the negotiations between Ida and Stimson have come to an end, and the two sides have agreed to strengthen the exchange and cooperation of technology and talents, reduce tariffs on each other, open the market, and give each other the most favored nation treatment for trade.

The term "most-favored-nation" first appeared in the 17th century, and its history can be traced back to the 11th century.

At the moment in 1921, the countries that advocated free trade the most were the United States and the United Kingdom, but both of them were shouting loudly, and in fact they were implementing trade protection policies based on high tariffs.

Southern Africa is within the Commonwealth and can enjoy MFN status for trade within the Commonwealth.

Now that Southern Africa and the United States have agreed to expand the range of most-favored-nation countries, this will be a strong boost to the ties between Southern Africa and the United States, which is a good thing for both sides.

At least Southern Africa and the United States feel that they are the big winners in this negotiation.

It's hard to say who the big winners will be, Australia is definitely the losers.

Curzon excelled when questioned by Congress, narrowly navigating the danger and narrowly missing the shortest-lived governor.

After returning to Australia, Curzon has relented a lot, no longer targeting southern Africa openly, but is still secretly collecting evidence of southern African capital embezzling Australian interests.

On April 10, Billy Hughes visited Southern Africa and was warmly received by the Federal Government of Southern Africa.

Australia, although weak, is an important part of the Indian Ocean's periphery, and the federal government of Southern Africa has given Billy Hughes the highest treatment and welcomed Billy Hughes with the highest standards.

"Along the way from the airport to the Palace of Justice, there were 50,000 people welcoming Billy Hughes, the Governor and the Prime Minister personally went to the airport to greet him, and Billy Hughes sat between the Governor and the Prime Minister at the welcome dinner, it's a pity that you weren't there, even if Your Majesty came to Southern Africa, that's probably it-" Xiao Si didn't actually go, but said as if he was there.

The level of the prime minister sounds quite bluffing, but in fact, it is really not of much value to Roque and Xiao Si.

At least not as valuable as Donn.

As the general manager of the Australian company, Donn has now become a member of the Western Australian parliamentarian, and is even eligible to run for governor, this time Billy Hughes came to visit southern Africa, and Done is also one of Billy Hughes's attachés.

"What is the state of Australian companies?" Roque didn't care about Billy Hughes and didn't even attend the welcome dinner, but hosted a banquet at home to entertain Donn.

"We have discovered a large iron ore mine in the Pilbara region, with very high reserves and grades, probably the largest iron ore in the world, and once developed, it will be enough for us to mine for a hundred years." Don was thrilled that the value of steel to industry did not need to be emphasized, and that once the news was announced, Australian companies would instantly be in the global spotlight.

"I'll wait until you become governor." Roque is not in a hurry, the iron ore in southern Africa has not been mined yet, take your time, and you won't run long legs anyway.

Although Australian companies have bought the Pilbara region, they will have to pay taxes to the Australian government if they want to develop iron ore.

Roque didn't want to pay, at least not for now, when Curzon left Australia.

As for Donne, he is now an Australian citizen, so he is eligible to become a WA MP.

Roque is ready to let Don try to run for governor of WA next year, and if elected, he can change WA law and set the rules of the game more favorable to Australian companies, which will show the energy of Australian companies.

"To be a governor—" Donn frowned, he had never thought of this possibility, being a congressman was a duck on the shelf.

"Don't want to be?" Roque smiled, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a congressman who doesn't want to be a governor is not a good legislature either.

"No—" Don was shy, mostly inexperienced in this matter.

Besides, the governor is not so easy to be, even if Western Australia is sparsely populated and Australian companies are strong, it is quite difficult to become a governor.

"Don't worry about Don, do it boldly, it's okay to do it wrong, it's a big deal to continue to go back to the Australian company as a general manager." Xiao Si laughed, experience is slowly accumulated.

This is the advantage of having a big tree against your back, and with the backing of an Australian company, it is difficult to fail.

To put it mildly, I won't be a governor, I'll always copy my homework.

Look at how Anton became governor, Don can just copy it.

It's such a simple way that many people can't learn.

There is no law.

Nyasaland's development is based on the reckless introduction of new immigrants, and no one is left alone.

"How easy it is to be a governor, when the time comes, find a few good staff, appoint a few serious and responsible ministers, and you can doze off in the governor's office every day." Roque said lightly, not to put too much pressure on Don.

Ruling by inaction is actually a way of governing, which is ridiculous to say, this way sounds lazy, but in fact it is better than many ambitious politicians who want to do great things in office, and the people really don't need so many whims of officials.

"Then I'll try—" Donn firmly believes that there are only 300,000 people in the entire state of Western Australia, and more than a tenth of them now work for Australian companies.

So whoever wants to be governor has to get on good terms with Australian companies, or voters will put their feet on you.

The main purpose of Billy Hughes's visit to Southern Africa is also to strengthen cooperation with Southern Africa.

This cooperation is not limited to the economic sphere, Billy Hughes also hopes to strengthen military cooperation with southern Africa to further reduce the burden on the Australian government.

After the World War, the Australian government also did not pay the pensions of those veterans in time, but unlike the US government, the Australian government still gave a little, including the huge contribution of Australian companies.

During the World War, Australia, with a total population of only 5.5 million, sent nearly 500,000 expeditionary troops to Europe.

Australians, who are descendants of criminals, were brave during the war in Europe, suffering 26,094 casualties in the first battle of Dardanelles, of which 7,594 were killed.

During the entire world war, the 500,000 Anzac Corps, with nearly half of the overall casualties, fully proved the bravery of the Anzac Corps, and also brought a heavy burden to the post-war Australian government.

The Australian government did not retain troops after the world war, and the expeditionary force was all disbanded and returned to their respective homes, but Australia's security needed to be guaranteed, and the Royal Navy was unable to provide sufficient protection for Australia at a time when the British Empire was implementing a global strategic contraction, and southern Africa became Australia's best choice.

"The situation is now that Australia is not strong enough to maintain a strong army, but it is facing an increasingly serious external threat, and if Australia faces war, I hope that Southern Africa will reach out to Australia." Billy Hughes bluntly stated that the Anzac was under Roque's command during the World War, and Roque should actually be responsible for the losses of the Anzac.

Of course, it's not all Roque's responsibility, it's not just the Anzac that suffered heavy losses, all the units that participated in the world war suffered heavy losses, the Southern African Expeditionary Force, the Canadian Legion, the Indian Legion -

Hey, what the hell is the Indian Legion.

Well, 1.2 million Indian regiments, a total of 74,000 killed during the world war.

Considering the flu pandemic in the United States, there are no specific statistics on how many of these 74,000 people died in battle.

Only a handful of battles in which the Indian Legion actually participated.

"Your Excellency, Australia and Southern Africa are both Commonwealth countries, and it is the responsibility of Southern Africa to protect the interests of the Commonwealth." Roque does not shirk, and the benefits of sending it to the door cannot be avoided.

The external threats facing Australia are all latent threats, and there are not many real threats.

Australia's request for help from southern Africa also comes at a price, not to mention the lack of money, providing a military base, building a military port or something can always cooperate.

After Australia is done, the layout of southern Africa around the Indian Ocean will make up for the last shortcoming, and from then on, the ships of southern Africa will be unimpeded around the Indian Ocean, and the United States and Britain will have to stand aside.
