The investment mentioned by Xiao Si is mainly to Germany, which is also to cooperate with London's strategic purpose, to restore Germany's strength as quickly as possible, and to re-establish a balance against France.

This work is not only carried out by Britain, but also by American capital, which is in dire need of external capital injection, and the German government is also looking for capital help, and southern Africa and the United States have the most powerful capital forces in the world, and are fully capable of helping Germany quickly complete post-war reconstruction.

"During my time in Germany, I had an exchange with the leader of the Socialist Party, Mr. Friedrich Ebert, and Mr. Albert is very welcome to invest in Germany from southern Africa, and you should have communicated with Ms. Berta, how about taking the opportunity to take a stake in Krupp? This is a great opportunity. "Xiao Si takes the high-end route, and all the people he comes into contact with in Europe are celebrities.

Friedrich Ebert is the leader of the German Socialist Party, and the current prime minister of Germany is still Prince Marcos, but Prince Marcos is in a bad situation, because he has not been able to reach a "peace agreement" with the Entente for a long time, Prince Marcos's position is precarious, and he is losing the trust of the German people, and Friedrich Albert, who is the leader of the Socialist Party, is very hopeful to replace Prince Marcos and become the current German prime minister.

As for Lady Berta of Krupp, this is even more of a legendary woman, after the death of Alfred Krupp the Elder, the real founder of the Krupp empire, due to the lack of male heirs, Bertha Krupp became Krupp's "Queen of Artillery", and the giant artillery that bombarded the fortress of Liege during the First World War was named after this lady.

In order to ensure the existence of Krupp, the then German Emperor Wilhelm II arranged for the diplomat Gustav and Ms. Berta to marry, and allowed Gustav to add the noble surname Krupp to his surname.

Before the outbreak of the world war, the Nyasaland military industrial complex cooperated with many German enterprises, such as Krupp in the military industry, Carl Zeiss in optics, Berlin Chemical in chemistry, and so on.

After the end of the World War, many of the staff sent to Germany from Southern Africa have been working around these enterprises, and compared with before the World War, the current Krupp is also much worse than before, in just half a year, more than 150 Krupp researchers emigrated to Southern Africa, and now they are all working in the Nyasaland Military Industrial Group.

"Yes, how much does Ms. Berta offer?" If there is an opportunity, Roque does not refuse to take a stake in Krupp, although Krupp's strength is not as good as before, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and Krupp is still a promising enterprise.

What's more, Roque is not only interested in Krupp, compared with Krupp, Carl Zeiss and other companies, Roque prefers Dareham Mercedes, which is still small now, but has unlimited potential in the future.

"It's up to you to negotiate it yourself, and as long as the price is right, you can buy shares." Xiao Si no matter what Roque and Ms. Berta talked about, Xiao Si also invested in some companies in Europe during this time, but compared with Roque, Xiao Si's investment is more conservative, basically British American Petroleum, French Renault and other large enterprises that have formed a scale.

French Renault can be regarded as the world's third largest automobile company, the top two are the United States Ford and Nyasaland Automobile Group, the United States Ford ranks first because the production of Ford cars is high enough, although the output of Nyasaland Automobile Group is not low, the product line is also richer, but the market in southern Africa is too small after all, and the European market is not fully developed, so the scale of Nyasaland Automobile Group is not as good as that of Ford in the United States.

In terms of automobiles, Ford is indeed very powerful, and now the unit price of the Model T produced by Ford has been compressed to about 300 US dollars, and if it is converted into pounds according to the proportion before the outbreak of the world war, 300 US dollars is about 65 pounds sterling.

£65 for a car!

At this price, the Nyasaland Automobile Group is really uncompetitive, the cheapest car of the Nyasaland Automobile Group is also 150 pounds, in terms of appearance and performance, the cars produced in Nyasaland are indeed a little better than the Model T, but not so much as better.

As for Renault, this company also got involved in the automobile industry a long time ago, as early as 1898, at the age of 21, Louis Renault founded the Renault company in Bioncourt, a suburb of Paris, when Renault had only six workers and could only produce six cars a year, but Louis Renault gave full play to his mechanical talent in the process of entrepreneurship, inventing direct transmission systems and turbochargers.

After Renault's successive victories in Paris-Berlin and other automobile races in 1900, the company began to grow rapidly, and in 1907 Renault taxis were already available on the streets of London and New York, and after the outbreak of the World War, Renault had formed mass production.

The vast majority of the 6,000 taxis organized by Gallieni during the First Battle of the Marne were produced by Renault.

Compared to Renault, Anglo American Petroleum can be regarded as a dead end.

Before the world war, Anglo American Petroleum could not survive in the Persian Gulf at all under the strong pressure of Adan Company, and the entire company was on the verge of collapse.

After the end of the World War, Anglo-American Petroleum was surprised to find that the oil fields in Romania were in an extremely rare blank area because of the defeat of the German army, so Anglo-American Petroleum took advantage of the situation and obtained the right to exploit the oil fields in Romania.

Xiao Si's capital injection played a key role in Anglo America's acquisition of Romania's oil fields, so Adan did not interfere with it, and if Anglo American could join forces with Adan Company, it would be more conducive to controlling European oil prices.

For this form of team-up, Roque did not refuse.

"Have you talked to Friedrich Ebert about investing in infrastructure in Germany?" The investment that Roque wants is far more in-depth and more effective than the investment designed by Xiao Si.

"Of course there is, but it's a lot more difficult, you know, it's not easy to get people to accept toll roads, and our roads in southern Africa are also free of tolls-" Xiao Si didn't understand why Roque insisted on doing this, railway tolls are understandable, and roads are also tolled-

Sure enough, it's a god of wealth!

"If it weren't for the hard work of those African workers, if we want to build a road network of this scale in southern Africa, we will have to wait at least 20 years - we can give African workers ten pounds a year, and we can't also give German workers ten pounds an year, so after the road is completed, how to recover the cost is a big problem." Roque's main concern was the cost, and Roque also thanked the Africans for their contributions, so Roque was very disapproving of the previous behavior of the Federal Government of Southern Africa that wanted to earn benefits without giving Africans proper returns.

To put it bluntly, since you don't want to treat people as people, you just send the Africans away, don't just do that and that, and leave a lot of legacy problems for the future, the British are also really pitted, not only pit allies, but even pit their own people.

"Yes, how to recover the cost is a big problem, in Europe now, the "Peace Agreement" can not bring real peace at all, at most it is a twenty-year armistice, if we want to invest in German infrastructure, can we recover the cost in 20 years?" It is not nonsense that Xiao Si is worried about the future of Europe, and more and more people are now soberly aware of this.

It also prompted more long-term visionaries to emigrate to southern Africa, and after the world wars, people really realized the destructive power of the world wars, and no one wanted to let their descendants go through it again.

"If we can't, it doesn't matter, if World War II breaks out, then we can still defeat the Germans, and then the Germans will understand the truth of fear." Roque is full of confidence, and in other words, he will give a sweet date with a stick, so that you can remember my goodness, and at the same time be afraid of me, so that you can usher in true peace.

The more than one million prisoners in the prisoner of war camps used to hate the mistakes of the politicians in the rear, which led to the defeat of the troops on the front line, and now they are dissatisfied with the rough management of the US troops.

Most of the current prisoners of war are young people in their twenties, and the older veterans have been exhausted in more than four years of fighting, and in twenty years they will only be 40 years old, and they will still have the opportunity to take up arms and go to the battlefield.

For the same reason, Roque is not yet forty now, and twenty years later, Roque will not be too old to walk, and then Roque will still be honest and old, but he can still eat.

"It's very difficult, look at the French now, I dare to say, twenty years from now, France is estimated to not even be able to find soldiers willing to fight, and then only our British Empire will be able to fight Germany alone?" Xiao Si still doubts the strength of the British Empire, and during the World War, if it were not for the Russian Empire dragging a million German troops on the Eastern Front, the British and French forces on the Western Front would not have been able to support the United States in the war.

"And what about our southern Africa, don't worry-" Before this world war, Roque did not have a clear understanding of the strength of southern Africa, but now there is no problem, human resources are the last shortcoming of southern Africa, as long as this shortcoming is filled, Roque has the confidence to face any situation.

ps: Akali, don't tear up the ticket, what are the requirements to negotiate, the ticket is innocent-
