The concessions made by the British were of little significance to the cause of the Boer resistance, and the entire Boer nation had a population of only 450,000. And Britain has already committed nearly 200,000 troops in South Africa. This means that the British already committed far more troops in South Africa than the adult men of the Boers, and even more than the men and women of the Boers in the prime of life. Add to this the fact that the concentration camps have been under control for several months, and now there are almost no more guerrillas who still have the strength to resist. However, this concession is extremely important to the Boer nation, and as President Kruger said, without the help of European and American friends, according to the British tradition of ruthlessness, it is a question of whether the Boer nation can survive at that time.

This concession by the British did divide Europe, and at least the French government already had a reason to deal with the pressure of Our Lady at home: you see, our efforts have paid off.

Moreover, it would take time for observers from many countries to travel to South Africa. First of all, it takes time for them to organize, and secondly, it takes quite a long time to get from Europe to South Africa. Although there were airplanes in this era, they were still just toys on a large scale. The planes of most countries are just toys made by those farmers in the CCTV-10 channel of the Chitu country in the later generations, and even, in terms of technical content and performance, most of them can't catch up with those farmers' toys, because after all, it is more than a hundred years later, it is difficult to be a farmer, and you can easily get a high-horsepower engine, as well as various technical information for reference. And in this era, the distance that an airplane can fly is not comparable to the range of a rifle.

So, naturally, the Mission had to travel to South Africa by steamer, which would take about 20 days. As a result, another month had passed by the time the Mission arrived.

This gave the British a whole month to change the status quo of the camps and make them look more civilized. Anyway, they have already won this war, and they have already lost money, and they don't care about losing a little more money.

……

"The Boers have done their best. They really can't be blamed for the ultimate failure. The enemy army is more than their adult population, and whoever goes will be blinded. And their resistance has already benefited us enough, hasn't it? We've even exceeded expectations. Now it's time to stop. When it's time to stop, you have to know to stop, and then continue to dwell on this matter, the efficiency will plummet, or even reverse. "That is, the matter in South Africa is over." ”

"Uncle, we have made a lot of money this time, and with this foundation, I think the family can expand appropriately." Donald said.

"So what do you think?" Scrooge asked, looking at the others.

"Scrooge, I think we can expand it appropriately." Carol also stood up for her "son". Although he and Catherine both knew what was going on, since Donald didn't know, Donald was naturally their branch. And the family has been dormant for a long time, giving young people the opportunity to show their faces, and there are fewer opportunities to do big things. If everything is done step by step, then the status arrangement of the next generation of the family will be very obvious: in the case that everyone has no special achievements, due to some reasons that can be made public and cannot be made public, Glestone will definitely have the advantage and become the successor of the entire family.

Of course, Carol and Catherine also knew that no matter what, as long as Glestone himself did not make trouble, his position as the successor of the family could not be shaken. This is just as the position of Comrade Nikolai's successor in later generations, although it has never been written into the party constitution, it is much more stable than that of someone who has written it into the party constitution. So they don't want Donald to shake Greystone's position, (don't really think that Dorothea doesn't know anything) they just want Donald to take a little more share, and when the time comes, they can also bring along the other children in their own line.

"I don't think so." Dorothea suddenly interjected, "When the war is over, all kinds of needs will shrink. At this time, if you don't do it well, it's a crisis. Isn't it? ”

"Aunt Dorothea, of course we know this, but the more the crisis, the more opportunities for us, right?" Donald replied calmly.

"So, Donald, in what direction do you think we can expand?" Scrooge asked.

"Mines, banks, communications." Donald replied, "Uncle, our previous war with the Spaniards, the war between the British and the Boers, and the ensuing shipbuilding race have made the market very optimistic about the prospects of steel, so in addition to us, other steel companies are also increasing their production capacity. This is especially true in Germany and the United Kingdom. As a result, in fact, both in Europe and in the United States, the production capacity of steel exceeds the de facto demand. So too much steel production is definitely going to cause problems. Over the years, our MacDonald Steel has not expanded directly, but has shifted its main focus to the production of high-end steel. In other markets, we have taken more of a controlling approach, I think, in the near future, we should make some news about the purchase of new warships, so that the stocks of steel companies will have a new round of rise, and then, we can quietly put the stocks of those low-end steel products manufacturers in our hands, and wait until the crisis breaks out, after a large number of such enterprises go bankrupt, the corresponding mines will also go bankrupt. At that time, we will buy the most valuable mines in the name of bailing out the market. And it's the same with banks, and by that time, a whole bunch of non-Fed banks will definitely fail, and if they fail, we'll naturally expand. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, Donald, the most valuable mines in America today are basically either in our hands or in Morgan's hands. Are you going to move Morgan's mines? Dorothea continued.

"Mom, it doesn't make much sense to move the mines in the United States." Greystone. Suddenly interjected, "Once the economic crisis occurs, it will not be limited to the United States, but also Europe and the world." We can't get our hands on the minerals in Europe, but we can eat the ones in South America, in fact, in addition to mines, there are all kinds of plantations, farms and pastures, which are all valuable targets. What's more, if we do too much in the United States, it will always cause all kinds of jealousy. And sooner or later this will bring all kinds of problems. So, I feel that expansion is necessary, not expanding, sorry for the upcoming crisis. But the main direction of expansion should be South America. In addition, Africa and Asia are not out of the question. Especially after we have a foothold like the Philippines, there is a certain possibility of investing in Asia. As far as we know so far, there's a lot to invest in, at least in China. ”

"It's a pity that those things are controlled by the guy who arrived early. For example, Guangdong and Guangxi, although it is very close to the Philippines, but there are French people there, and we just can't get involved. Another example is the Indochina Peninsula, which is also very good, but the British and French are there, and we can't get involved. Donald said.

"Then stir up their struggles and pick things out." "For example, let the Chinese get into trouble with them, or let the local natives get into trouble with them." Of course, it is inappropriate to pick things up in Guangdong, Guangxi, and Indochina now. But further north, I felt there was a chance to get involved. The Russians occupied too much land and resources in the northeast of Asia. But their ability to project power there is actually quite average. And there's a Japan over there. In addition, the British certainly did not want to see the Russians alone get a point of support in Northeast Asia that could really support a large number of forces. Although they have a good relationship with the Russians now, they certainly don't want to see the Russians use their limited national strength in Northeast Asia. They also counted on the Russians to continue to push towards the Balkans and Turkey, so that the Russians and Germans could become more and more stalemate, and in order to contain the German power. So, I think we can really get involved there, for example, we can completely support Japan and start a war against the Russians. After the emergence of the economic crisis, Japan will definitely not be able to hold on, and at this time, we will throw a bait to him, even if the conditions are harsh, they must swallow it. Donald, do you think I have a point? ”

Donald was silent for a moment, then at Glestone, then at Scrooge and Dorothea. Then he nodded and said, "Sounds like it's very feasible." It's worth looking into. ”

"Good. Scrooge said, "Then the study of the situation in Northeast Asia will be entrusted to you." Within a month, come up with a detailed report...... Well, is there anything else? ”

"One more thing, Scrooge." Dorothea began, "Lately, our President seems to have become a little too interested in finance. ”

"What's going on?" Carol hurriedly asked.

"Our Mr. President always felt that he was in his second term and that it was time for him to do himself more benefits. And he probably thinks that he did a good job in the economy, won the war, and more importantly, helped us build the Federal Reserve, so he should get more in return. Recently, a bank called the National Bank of Portland has been very active, and it seems that it is about to get a vote from the Federal Reserve through a merger. And our people found out that Mr. President's family has a large stake in the bank......"
