Chapter 260: Africa

The British Parliament has always been a benchmark for democratic reform in the world, and in 1867, under the influence of Windsor's national politics, the Labour Party and economic development, a major change was about to take place. This change will focus on the deep relaxation of property restrictions on voters and parliamentarians, and if it succeeds, the middle class will be able to fully transform the middle class into a parliament controlled by all adult men, with no property restrictions.

Of course, in India and Malaya, this has long been realized, and the rights of adult women are the same as those of men, which has led to the loss of nationality to India and Malaya by a large number of intellectual women in England, who would rather not be English than gain rights. Since Indian and Malaysian citizens are protected by the Windsor consortium around the world, their status is not much worse than that of the English.

The economic development factor is that a large number of workers in Britain have become middle class, and property restrictions are less important, especially in the Windsor consortium companies, where the median income of workers reaches a staggering 400 pounds a year, any university intern has an annual salary of 100 pounds, and middle management and senior engineers often have a terrifying income of thousands of pounds.

If the parliamentary reform bill is passed, the Labour Party led by Engels may be in power for the first time, and Prime Minister Engels will be born. He is already eager to set the working time for workers at eight hours and have weekends, which is a common practice in Windsor-based companies.

Germany did not take radical measures in this regard, because Chairman Tang was named the Führer and basically did not care about domestic affairs, and the German Chancellor was so desperate to surpass Britain in GDP that he wanted the German workers to work harder. Under pressure from the trade unions, the German chancellor had to make a small compromise and set a working time of nine hours, that is, to be a little more diligent than the British.

Italy is the opposite of Germany in this respect, and the British set it at 8 hours, they set it at 7 hours, and even the time for lunch is included, showing the romantic enjoyment of the people of southern Europe. Not to mention, this has attracted a large number of scientists and engineers who love life to work in Italy, and it seems that the effect is not bad.

France is basically abolished, because of the strong confrontation with the Windsor Empire, they love to do everything by themselves, and even a large number of copycat Windsor enterprises' patented technology, which leads to the further degeneration of the originally okay legal system, infringement incidents are not uncommon, collusion between officials and businessmen, and the underworld is rampant.

Even France, which was supposed to be the world's top art scene, has degenerated, if nothing else, record piracy is very strict, and the whole world cannot bypass the patents of the red and black gramophone companies, and the French actually have their own gramophone factory, which produces a large number of inferior phonographs and records. This has hurt the French music industry a lot, and most famous French musicians and singers have chosen to go to Belgium to release their own records.

The French elite is very yearning for the products of Windsor enterprises, but because public opinion always scolds Windsor imperialism, the French people will be right to hate the Windsor consortium as a politician, and all kinds of boycotts, such as a big march from time to time, smash the Windsor car, and never get tired of it.

The French are also keen to call the French who bought the Smart and the Continental GT traitors to protect their domestic brands, completely ignoring the so-called French brands and even the hydrogen fuel cell engines of General Dynamics, which no one else in the world can make, otherwise you will use a steam engine.

Apart from France, the most hostile to the Windsor Empire is probably Russia...... No, the Grand Duchy of Moscow, this nickname has been officially used by humorous circles, the reason is, of course, that the territory of the Russian Empire has been divided into two large parts of the East and West, and the population of the USSR is inferior to that of Russia, but the territory has far exceeded it.

Americans are not hostile to the Windsor Empire, because of their mercantilism, it doesn't matter if they are defeated by super imperialism, and no one else can beat them anyway, Lincoln's approval rating is still not bad, and even President Lincoln was praised for his emergency call to stop the confrontation with the Windsor consortium, which is called "stop loss". The three small countries that split off from the United States are still very united, as close as one family, and business is booming.

American businessmen have even been very popular in France, Russia, the Netherlands and other NATO countries, and have become the best agents of Windsor enterprises and make a fortune.

The future Prime Minister of England Engels is also very dissatisfied with the current policy, that is, the "environmental protection party" should be dissatisfied with one item, Britain does not do well in environmental protection, according to the Windsor Hospital, the British industrial environment is very poor, and the quality of life is far inferior to that of the backward industrial countries India, Malaya, China and Japan.

The Qing Dynasty has done a very good job of environmental protection, and all industrial emissions have strict regulations, which is of course not the credit of Li Hongzhang, but the policy formulated by Guo Songtao when he was in power, and this Li Hongzhang government has no need to contradict the tune, nor does it contradict public opinion, so it has continued. Now the Qing Dynasty does not aim at developing the economy at all, but attaches importance to such indicators as the garbage recycling rate, and now the ten major cities of the Great Qing Dynasty have a garbage recycling rate of 50% and a blast furnace incineration rate of 80%. This number is the third in the world.

The second largest in the world is the extremist Japanese, with 80% of the garbage being recycled in Tokyo and other cities, and 95% of the remaining garbage being incinerated in blast furnaces.

You must be curious, who is the number one in the world? The answer came out of the USSR. The great Soviet Union set a target of 90% garbage collection rate, which could only be achieved under such an extreme system, and the small and medium-sized business owners had no right to oppose it. A higher recovery rate is no longer achievable with current technology, otherwise Marx would have liked to set it at 100%.

In fact, this is nothing, there is even more exaggerated, there are almost no beggars in the Soviet Union, but if there is one, they are taken to the shelter by the police, where there is free food, and the government also helps the beggar find a job according to his situation, if the beggar is a delicacy, he will be cared for in a state-owned hospital, and he will not have to work at all.

It follows that the employment rate in the USSR reached almost 100%. Marx believed that when the employment rate went up, the exploitation of capital was restricted, and the economy would naturally go up, so economic development was the result, not the goal to be directly pursued.

How does it sound strange that Marx became the general secretary of the Soviet Union, Engels was about to become the prime minister of the British Empire, and behind them was the world's largest capitalist?

Since the Windsor Freemasons openly turned against the Prime Minister's Office in the Qing Dynasty, the African Club, which had been established for four years, has grown in power in the United States, and has become a major political group that restricts racial policy in the United States. The black slaves who succeeded in borrowing money from the Bank of Zurich to redeem themselves worked very hard, and the free blacks in the Confederate States were mostly elites, and were hired into the Windsor consortium for the same high wages as the whites, and had a decent social status. In the eyes of these blacks, Downing was a true god, higher than Downing's status as the spiritual emperor of Japan.

Slavery was not abolished in either the Confederate States or Brazil, but around the Brazilian metropolitan area, Downing had gradually abolished lynching of slaves, and disobedient slaves had to appeal to the "slave courts" to seek sanctions, and the black clubs of the Confederates were pushing for legislation in this regard.

The African Club's political presence in Brazil is also very strong, and Downing has contracted most of his original ant farming business for Brazil to the African Club Fund to invest, so that the black elite has a sustainable source of funding. They actually have the spare energy to go back to their old nest on the African continent to make trouble.

The African continent is a continent divided by tribes, and ethnic vendettas are quite severe. In the first period of the Great Colonial Era, the European colonizers mainly occupied the terra nullius, but now, most of the terra nullius have been filled, and Africa has become a place of attention for the colonists, and the colonial countries that have landed in South Africa, the Ivory Coast, and the Gold Coast have strengthened their penetration into the African continent. Naturally, the rising African club was not willing to be lonely, and joined this wave of colonization, relying on the color of their skin, they enjoyed a higher moral advantage than the white colonizers, "We are not called colonization, but the development of our homeland." ”

Uneducated blacks have no idea where they are being trafficked from, and can only regard the entire African continent as their homeland.

The Windsor consortium has the greatest advantage in developing Africa, and how long did it take him to build the main artery that runs through the right coast of Africa? The main traffic artery is controlled by the Windsor Empire, and there is a traveler settlement equivalent to a military base every 300 kilometers, and what is even worse is that these settlements are constantly bringing benefits to the Windsor Consortium, so whether it is transportation, military, or economy, the Windsor Consortium enjoys a great voice on the African continent. Except for the British colonists in South Africa, Ivory Coast, and the Gold Coast, the colonists in other regions had to act according to the eyes of the Windsor consortium.

In fact, the African Club also played a great role in the construction of the African tourism business part of the Human Footprint Company, and it was mainly them who were the main ones when looking for African tourism businesses, such as indigenous handicrafts and African animal trainers, all of which were found by the black employees of the African Club.

In fact, the African Animal Trainer is a very popular tourist show. They play three main types of beasts: monkeys, African pythons, and hyenas (the ones who often snatch prey from the claws of African lions when they are numerous). (http://.)。 Monkeys and snakes are common, both in China and India, but the hyena program is unique to African animal trainers, who are ferocious predators that fight the world's most fearsome carnivores, African lions.

Downing was originally only interested in the tourism industry in Africa, but since the African Club had reached the point of interfering in Africa's politics and asked him to preside over it, he decided to develop Africa, centered on the preparation of the "African Development Bank". He is no longer interested in monopolizing this bank, using the system platform of the Bank of Zurich, but inviting countries interested in African colonization to participate in the shares, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Portugal, Spain, etc., so the African Development Bank will gather investors in these countries and give each country a seat on the board, and the East of Africa also has a seat in it, equal to other directors, in addition, it also reserves 50% of the shares to those who will do business in Africa in the future, These are held by Downing's personal agent for the time being.

The African Development Bank will set up an "African Policy Committee on Agriculture, Forestry, Animal Husbandry and Fisheries", which is similar in nature to the Amazon Forestry Policy Committee, and will regulate the four "primary industries" of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and water in Africa.
