In another time and space, there was no war between Britain and the United States, and the transfer of hegemony was naturally completed.

The same is true of this time and space, if Southern Africa has the ability to replace Britain, then the hegemony will naturally complete the handover, and it will be more natural than another time and space, after all, the relationship between Southern Africa and Britain is closer than the relationship between the United States and Britain.

Ade's fears are not unfounded, since the world war, there have been people in southern Africa who want to break away from the British Empire and become a truly independent country.

London is also aware of the problem and is gradually giving Southern Africa the autonomy it deserves, and just last month, the Southern African office in London was officially upgraded to an embassy, with Jan Smoltz as Southern Africa's first ambassador to the United Kingdom.

This is a very clear signal that Britain is liberalizing all rights, including diplomatic powers, and that southern Africa is no different from a truly independent country.

Roque's promise to Ade was also not a whim.

Although Southern Africa already has the strength to replace the British, many people around Roque have indeed given advice in this regard, intentionally or unintentionally, after all, there are still many British nationals in Southern Africa who are fond of Britain, and the time has not yet come, Roque does not want to artificially tear apart Southern Africa because of this.

Then wait a little longer.

On the issue of Halifax, the United States is not actually unyielding.

Hoover sent a telegram to Roque late at night, hoping that Roque would make concessions, even if only temporarily.

Roque understood what Hoover meant, the U.S. government needed a step, or Hoover needed an explanation to the Americans.

As for whether the Atlantic Fleet will be abolished in Southern Africa in the future, and whether the garrison in Halifax will be completely withdrawn, no one will care when this limelight passes.

It is true that the collective memory of the people is sometimes not as good as a fish.

Then the talks between Roque and Stimson went into the fast lane.

On behalf of Southern Africa, Roque pledged to eliminate the construction of a military base in the Bahamas and to gradually reduce the military presence in Halifax.

Stimson was very satisfied, and promised to further open the U.S. market, and to start a series of negotiations with southern Africa on trade, cooperation, tariffs, and so on.

How good this is, everyone makes money, and everyone is happy.

"So does this mean that in the future, goods from southern Africa will be able to enter the U.S. market unimpeded?" Xiao Si has great expectations for the US market, and even in the US, South African companies still have a huge advantage in the food sector.

South African companies now have more than a dozen well-known brands in many fields, from cans to beverages, and many products dominate in subdivisions, and South African companies have even completed the acquisition of Coca-Cola, and coffee production in Brazil, which is also dominated by South African companies.

Although the United States also has a huge advantage in the agricultural field, American capital has not noticed the huge development space in the food field, which gives South African companies the opportunity to occupy the market.

"If we want our goods to enter the U.S. unimpeded, then that means we have to open our markets to the U.S. as well." Henry worries that Carnegie in the United States, which is also a giant in the steel field, will face a more severe situation than the South African company once the market in southern Africa opens up.

"Let go and let go, and then it will depend on whose products are more competitive." In fact, Roque is also under great pressure, once the market in southern Africa is opened, a large number of monopolies in Nyasaland will face a strong challenge from American companies.

The first thing to bear the brunt of is definitely the car.

In the automotive industry in Southern Africa, Nyasaland automobiles undoubtedly dominate.

In the field of American automobiles, Ford has a huge advantage.

Although Nyasaland cars tried to open up the U.S. market a few years ago, Ford still maintained a monopoly on the U.S. market with a low price of $300, and Nyasaland cars struggled.

The cost of Nyasaland cars is not much higher than that of Ford, but because the U.S. government has to impose tariffs of more than 30% on Nyasaland cars, this greatly reduces the competitiveness of Nyasaland cars.

Once the U.S. opens up the market, tariffs will be significantly reduced, which is also not good news for Ford.

For Roque, even if the U.S. Nyasaland car is not profitable, Roque can make money from other industries to make up for the loss of Nyasaland car.

Ford has no room to make up for it, and if Nyasaland does start a price war with Ford, then Ford will have to find a way to further reduce the price of Ford or improve the competitiveness of Ford.

That is, the cost.

"Don't worry about Henry, Carnegie Steel, there's not much of a threat to Favalt Steel." Roque reassured Henry that Favart Steel also had an advantage against Carnegie Steel, so don't worry too much.

Favalt's strength lies in stainless steel and various aluminum alloys, and the relationship between Roque and Henry is here, even if Carnegie Steel offers lower prices to Nyasaland Heavy Industries, Nyasaland Heavy Industry will not abandon Favalt Steel.

The key is cost, and the cost of Favart steel is much lower than that of Carnegie because it uses more cheap labor.

For Henry, it's actually a matter of earning more and earning less.

The "less" here, which only needs to be reduced from windfall profits to normal profits, is enough to beat Carnegie.

"Ha, no, let Carnegie come, I'll give him a head-on blow." Henry is full of fighting spirit, Roque and Smalls are confident to face the challenge, and Henry can't show weakness.

Earn less for less, break Carnegie first, and earn more.

Later, Roque went to see Ada.

Now the negotiations with Stimson have been replaced by Ida.

Ada had just finished the negotiations with Stimson, and it seemed that the negotiations were going well, Ida was in high spirits, wearing a lake blue evening dress, and her figure was bumpy and fascinating.

Roque smiled and paused to help Ada pull out the chair.

Ida covered her mouth and smiled, and gave Roque a casual look, which made Roque's heart ripple.

Oops, it can only be described as swaying and looking forward to brilliance.

Ida really didn't mean to flatter, but this kind of inadvertent and natural charm is more charming.

Roque ate this set more, and immediately felt uncomfortable.

"Don't be sad my boy, I negotiated with Stimson in a professional suit." Ada's salutation made Roque even more uncomfortable.

My boy?

Why don't you bunker boys!

"How's the negotiations going?" Roque returned to his seat and straightened his clothes as he sat down.

"It went well, Stimson hit a nail in your place, and at the beginning he wanted to take advantage of me, so I dropped a bomb in the past." Ida was triumphant, and she was not honest when she sat in a chair, and her feet stretched out a little long under the table.

It's because the legs are too long, not on purpose.

And the feet are absolutely not violated, there is no sensitive description.

"Americans are like that, you have to teach them enough lessons, otherwise they will think that the whole world is American." Roque knows Americans too well, and no one understands Americans better than Roque.

"What's going to eat tonight?" Ida eats and laughs, it's just a normal discussion.

Roque didn't react for a while, and was stunned for a moment before he suddenly realized.

There is no doubt that Ada is driving.

Anyway, don't worry about the bad impact, this is in Ada's house, surrounded by Ada's servants, don't worry about someone taking pictures.

Ida management is still very handy.

"Speak human words." Roque has passed the age of hunger, and he has to chew slowly to digest better.

"Old man, it's really boring-" Ida suddenly revealed her true form, looking like she had given up her life, and the whole person almost collapsed in her chair: "-Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean you, I meant Stimson's old guy, this old man is very difficult to deal with, I found a few lawyers to deal with him." ”

This is certain, a man who can be a secretary of state must have two brushes.

Even people like Fei Peng graduated from West Point and Harvard Law School, and served as the director of the CIA.

"Don't be in a hurry, talk slowly, the RAND Bank can enter the market, the acquisition and acquisition, the restructuring and reorganization, we have to cultivate our own resources." Roque is not in a hurry, there are still more than ten years, and it can be laid out slowly.

The economic system of Britain and the United States is actually very simple to break through.

The fortress is breached from the inside, the RAND Bank is the most powerful weapon in Roque's hands, and the background of the saying that capital has no borders is free trade, and the United States, which happens to talk about free trade all day long, is used to attack the market protection of the Commonwealth, so use free trade to deal with the United States, which advocates free trade.

"Isn't Herbert what you raised?" Ida knew about the affair between Roque and Hoover, and even read Hoover's "confession".

"No, when Herbert was not president, he and we could work closely together, and when he became president, he would definitely put the interests of the United States first." Roque didn't know enough about the United States.

"Oh, don't overestimate human nature-" Ida dismissively, what position does politicians have, especially American politicians, the position of capital is the position of American politicians.

American companies actually need British capital, otherwise the United States would not have an economic crisis every ten years.

The economic crisis in the United States usually starts with the stock market, and the largest capital in the American stock market comes from Europe, so the relationship is a bit complicated.

To put it bluntly, the U.S. stock market is also a reservoir, and if there is too much water, it will always have to open the floodgates and release the water, and what capital wants to invest in the U.S. stock market is profit, but what the U.S. stock market wants is the principal of capital.

This is also a usury, but a more sophisticated usury.
