During the World War, Southern Africa saw a world of rapid development of all walks of life, a world away from what it was before the war.

According to the Southern African Ministry of Finance, before the outbreak of the world war, the gross national product of southern Africa was only 1.43 billion pounds, only about the same as France, about half that of the United Kingdom, and less than one-fifth of that of the United States.

As of last year, Southern Africa's GDP had reached £7.55 billion, more than the UK's GDP but still less than half that of the United States.

In 1870, the GDP of a large country in the Far East accounted for 17.3 percent of the world's total, while the United States accounted for only 0.9 percent, and by 1900, the proportion of a large country in the Far East had dropped to 11 percent, and the proportion of the United States' total economy had risen to 15.8 percent.

To be fair, there is moisture in the gross national product of southern Africa, but this moisture is not exaggerated, but deliberately reduced, unlike the United States, which can increase GDP by turning it over, there are many situations in southern Africa that are not included in the statistics, such as agricultural products produced on farms, as long as they are not sold to the federal government, they are not included in the gross national product.

If the United States were to follow the same methodology, the gross national product of southern Africa would have doubled directly.

Considering that Southern Africa now has such a small population, the GDP of Southern Africa is even higher, and the potential has not yet been fully realized.

On the issue of the method of calculating the gross national product, everyone present knows what is going on, so no one cares, the United States is the first, and southern Africa does not grab this honor, and it is more in line with the positioning of southern Africa to make a fortune in a muffled voice.

After the world war, the main export products of southern Africa to Europe have quietly changed from weapons and ammunition to building materials and daily necessities, many arsenals in Nyasaland have been directly transformed into builders, the scale of Xiao Si's South African company is expanding rapidly, food processing factories have been opened to the Mediterranean coast, Fattel Steel Company has quietly made the most profits, the demand for steel during the war is rising, after the war, the demand for steel has not decreased but increased, and even the output of cement has directly doubled. Not only in Europe, but also in Southern Africa, the federal government is also considering large-scale infrastructure construction.

Roque disagreed, at this time, more energy should be put into the reconstruction of Europe, the infrastructure in southern Africa can be stopped, and after the reconstruction of Europe is over, it is not too late to start the infrastructure construction in southern Africa.

"After the end of the world war, there will definitely be a wave of economic depression, but this wave of economic depression will not break out now, because after the end of the world war is followed by reconstruction, which will stimulate the economic indicators to continue to improve - but after the completion of the infrastructure, there will be a large contraction in the economic indicators of various countries, and we will start the infrastructure construction in southern Africa at that time, and we can continue to stimulate economic development." Roque has a reason, but this "evidence" cannot be put on the table.

The world war in another time and space ended in 1918, but the gross national product of each country still increased, and it was not until 1921 that there was a general large decline, with an average decline of about 20 percent.

Roque means that while Europe is rebuilding to continue to make another wave, after the reconstruction of Europe is completed, it will continue to stimulate the economy by stimulating domestic demand, and then the economic strength of southern Africa will continue to maintain a growth trend.

Even if it falls, don't drop so much.

Roque knew what had happened in another time and space, after the economic crisis of 1921.

"That's right, our Ministry of Finance also thinks the same, since April this year, the demand for building materials and food and daily necessities in Europe has risen sharply, businessmen are always the keenest in this kind of thing, they know what the market needs, what we need to do now is to meet the needs of Europe with all our might, but unfortunately from now on, there should be few such good opportunities-" Idado regretted, it sounded like he didn't suck enough blood.

"Don't worry, there will be opportunities in the future-" Roque almost blurted out that there will be World War II after World War I, and there will be a Cold War after World War II, and it will not be peaceful after the Cold War, so for Southern Africa, there are many opportunities, and it depends on whether you can grasp it.

In another time and space, a group of Boers hid in southern Africa and cultivated silently, all of which could build southern Africa into a quasi-developed country.

There are tens of millions of Chinese in southern Africa in this time and space, and there is a "prophet" like Roque hiding behind the scenes, so Roque is really looking forward to where Southern Africa in this time and space can go.

"Locke, explain." Ade's expression was clearly shocked, the damage caused by the world war was too great, and Ade did not believe that Europe would repeat the mistakes of the past.

"There shouldn't be a world war of this magnitude in the future, Europe is already in a pile of ruins, and all the participating countries are in a state of great devastation-" Philip agrees with Ade, but when it comes to "vital injury", everyone's expressions are a little strange.

Britain, France, Germany, and Russia were the ones who were greatly injured, and there were more than a few countries participating in the war, such as Japan in Asia, the United States in the Americas, and the so-called British overseas territories that hid in the British Commonwealth and made a fortune.

is also a British overseas consulate, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand should be very depressed, and in the same nine years, He Ruxiu——

Nowhere is this more evident than in Canada, where General Arthur Kerry is said to have been taken to court by the Canadian government upon his return to Canada, on the grounds that the Canadian Expeditionary Force had suffered too much damage in the world war and that General Arthur Kerry had failed to take his due responsibility.

This accusation is nonsense, the commander-in-chief of the Canadian Expeditionary Force in the early stage was not Arthur Kerry at all, but Roque's old friend Marcos Lloyd, and after Marcos Lloyd left his post due to illness, Arthur Kerry became the commander-in-chief of the Canadian Expeditionary Force.

And the heavy casualties of the troops are not the responsibility of Arthur Kerry, objectively speaking, Roque is more responsible, if it is according to the logic of the Canadian colonial government, Roque should be sent to court.

Or rather, the Anzac commander, who suffered more casualties, should be taken to court.

General John Monash has an MMP to say here, you bite and, don't get involved with me.

"Now Paris is in a mess, France wants to completely dismember Germany, it is better to make Germany as no threat as the Ottoman Empire and Austria-Hungary, but this is not in the interests of the British Empire, we need a man who can pose a threat to France enough to Germany, in order to ensure our right to speak on the European continent, when I left France, I heard that there was a draft resolution, and the Prince of Baden only said one sentence when he saw that resolution: Germany rejects this peace agreement." From the standpoint of an outsider, Roque did have enough reason for the Germans to refuse.

The draft of the Peace Agreement is said to have been transmitted back to Germany, and the Germans now hate the Imperial officials who were about to surrender, especially the German army on the Western Front, although in the month before the end of the world war, the German army on the Western Front was powerless in the face of the allied attack, but the German army on the Western Front was not completely defeated, and the German army even successfully organized counterattacks on some battlefields on the front for which the French troops were responsible.

This gave the German army on the Western Front the illusion that if it were not for the surrender of the rear government, then the German army on the front could continue to fight.

In fact, it was all an illusion, and Germany at that time was no longer sustainable, the most basic bullets could not be supplied, and if it continued to fight, it would only make the list of casualties longer.

"So peace is only temporary—" Ade was speechless, and there was an MMP that he wanted to say, but he didn't know who to scold.

Are the French irrational?

No, both Ponengalé and Clemenceau were mature politicians, especially Clemenceau, an old man who had been up and down for decades, and who made decisions that were in the best interest of France.

Winston should not be scolded, like Roque, Winston is also considered to be in danger, after leading LinkedIn to win the world war, some members of parliament proposed that Winston should be awarded the title of "Duke of London".

Fortunately, Winston refused very sensibly, the Duke was not casually sealed, let alone the "Duke of London", if Winston didn't know that the sky was high and the earth accepted this canonization, then I am afraid that after Winston stepped down, he would have to settle accounts after the fall.

Winston is trying to prepare for a general election for re-election.

"Yes, peace is only temporary, and now the Germans are not reconciled, but Germany has no way to continue, so it can only be forced to accept this result - but when the next generation of Germany grows up, and when Germany's strength is restored, then I am afraid that the next world war will break out." Roque This is not a leak, many people in the Entente have the same opinion as Roque.

Foch hit the nail on the head when he saw the draft of the DPA: it was a 20-year armistice.

Even Mantin, the butcher, did not approve of the end of the world war in this way, and when the world war ended, Manking was so distressed that he believed that the coalition forces should continue to attack until they captured Berlin and forced the Germans to sign a peace agreement in the palace of Wilhelm II, so that the Germans could be truly defeated.

If it does, it may really dispel the illusions of many Germans.

"The next generation, twenty years—" Ade thought, twenty years from now, a new generation of Europeans will grow up, and the same will be true for southern Africa, and in the current situation of southern Africa, if there is really another world war in another twenty years, then maybe southern Africa will stand in the middle of the stage.

ps: When this chapter was written, I suddenly found that it would be good if the whole book was finished like this - obviously impossible, if the whole book was finished, then how could I be worthy of the name of the big water fish, so I will continue to go underwater, saying that today is the last day of June-
