Chapter 803 Those who rebelled against Britain are all British
The four famous political leaders in the United States, the Adams family has become history, the Roosevelt family has already produced a president, Kennedy and Bush are still working hard, if Coolidge can become the first Two people, the four elements will become the five elements.
George didn’t know whether John Coolidge could become president in the future, but George knew that the next president of the United States was Hoover, the current Secretary of Commerce.
Isn't this a coincidence? Due to their working relationship, Joseph and Hoover had a very good relationship.
The relationship between the two was so good that Joseph invited Hoover to serve as vice president of the Delaware Automobile Group after his retirement.
If Hoover became the next president of the United States, it would be impossible for him to serve as vice president of the Delaware Automobile Group after his retirement.
It's okay to come over and give a speech if you have nothing to do. No matter what the speech is, it will definitely cost more than ten or two hundred thousand dollars.
A dozen or two hundred thousand in the 1930s was a lot.
George did not pay too much attention to Baldwin's visit to the United States. Forging iron requires one's own strength. As long as Russia does its own thing well, it will be invincible.
What George focuses on is Russian education.
Unlike the elite education model in the United Kingdom and the United States, education in Russia takes a civilian route. Students with good grades not only do not need to spend money to go to school, but they also make money.
Although the British and American education system has a long history, it has nothing to do with the common people. Even if you get a letter of recommendation, you still can't study if you don't have money to pay tuition.
Russia does not have a recommendation letter system. After compulsory education, there is a unified examination. If you score enough, you can pass it. If you don’t have money, you can go to the bank to apply for a student loan with your admission letter, or you can go to the foundation to apply for assistance.
Student loan interest rates are very low and are mainly economical.
The foundation's aid does not require cash repayment, but after graduation, you need to obey the foundation's arrangements and work for the foundation for a period of time.
There will definitely be a salary during this period, and the salary is not low. The only requirement is that the location of the job is not optional, and you may have to go to a more difficult area, such as Siberia.
As more and more Nobel Prize-winning experts go to work in Russia, the educational level of major Russian universities has improved, and more and more foreigners are taking the initiative to study in Russia.
On this issue, Education Minister Guderian and Finance Minister Firsov have huge differences.
Guderian believes that Russia should reduce the study fees for foreign students and provide more welfare policies for foreign students. In this way, even if these foreign students do not work in Russia after graduation, they will most likely become Russian propaganda after returning home. machine.
From a financial perspective, Firsov requires a substantial increase in the cost of studying abroad for foreign students to make up for Russia's expenditure on education.
The British and Americans treat education as a business, the kind that makes a lot of money.
The current model in Russia requires more than 2 billion rubles in education subsidies every year, with an average of 50 rubles per student.
There are currently about 15,000 foreign students in Russia, more than 90% of whom are from Romania, Yugoslavia, and Germany.
It’s not that the Grand Duchy of Yuriev doesn’t learn, but that its population base is too small.
“Even if we raise the tuition fee to 1,000 rubles, it will be a drop in the bucket for our expenditure on education, and may affect our relations with our allies. This is more important than the extra tuition fee.”
Guderian hoped that Russian education would not only cultivate enough talents for Russia, but also research remote farming.
"Are you stupid from reading? Isn't mosquito leg meat meat? I don't ask you to make money, can you spend less?"
Fiersov also has a big head, The difficulties he faced were no less than those faced by Churchill.
The UK only has 45 million people, while Russia has 180 million.
Of the 45 million people in the UK, at least 40 million are not people, just consumables.
Russia truly treats people as human beings, and even those at the bottom of society can live a dignified life. Government spending remains high, and Firsov worries about debt every day in his dreams.
Compared with the Russian Empire, Russia's current debt has not only not decreased, but has increased.
In education and medical care, it is actually easy to make a profit, but if you want to make it a public undertaking that benefits the general public, it is very difficult.
This is the reason why Russia is the only country in the world that takes the civilian route.
As strong as the United Kingdom and the United States, if like Russia, every child of school age is allowed to go to school, the finances will go bankrupt in minutes.
After the fall of the empire, an important reason why Russia did not liquidate the aristocracy was that many members of aristocratic families directly entered the Russian education system after the fall of the empire to serve in compulsory education.
How can this be settled? It should be commended vigorously.
"Okay! If you ask, I can even help you make money!"
Guderian is full of confidence.
Health Minister Drakovich tried his best to shrink himself into a ball, lest he get into Firsov's sight.
Although the Ministry of National Defense is also a financial powerhouse, George does not need to shrink it.
When it comes to making money, no one knows it better than George. Just after the World War, all countries were worried about hoarding armaments and supplies. For a while, they were discounted everywhere and sold for money.
They are also sold in Russia. Not only are they not discounted, but they actually make money after refurbishing them.
Russia’s military-to-civilian transition is the smoothest among all countries. The armored fighting vehicle factory has begun producing tractors, and the aircraft factory continues to develop new technologies. The British and French aircraft factories are still worried about stability. At that time, Russian aircraft had begun to focus on comfort and economy.
Just use whatever you have during the war. Expensive fighter jets are also consumables. Governments don’t have to choose. It doesn’t matter if the engine can be used for a year or a month. They won’t last more than a week anyway.
Civil aircraft not only require stability, but also have high requirements for economy and comfort. Currently, only Russian aircraft in the world can meet commercial needs.
After the end of the world war, relying on the booming development of the civilian market, Russia has completed the upgrading of fighter jets.
“What to do?”
Felix asked George when he was unsure about anything.
While financial pressure is important, propaganda work must also be taken seriously. Russia wants to suck blood from Europe and must continue to increase investment in this area.
"Neither increase nor decrease, just like our ordinary students, it can be glorified as national treatment to the outside world. This is already a welfare."
George kept the lesson in mind.
In another time and space, Hong Russia suffered a lot in this regard.
“That’s not possible, student loans cannot be given to them.”
Felix's standards are similar to George's.
“Let them lend, with high interest rates, and there must be collateral——”
George is even more sinister. It is natural for commercial banks to pursue profits, and it is not impossible to get loans. The interest is given. Gao Gao, if you want to scold those unscrupulous bank managers, scold them.
George has data. Real international students actually have good family conditions and do not need loans at all.
For those who need a loan, the bottom line is usually very flexible.
Politicians’ bottom lines are also flexible.
Before the British troops withdrew from Perth, Canberra's attitude was more in favor of the United Kingdom, hoping that the British army and the Theo government could follow Ireland's example and reach a peace agreement.
After the British army retreated from Perth, Canberra's attitude quietly changed.
The premise for Australia to rely on Britain is that Britain has the ability to protect Australia.
Judging from the performance of the British army in Parth, Britain seems to have lost the ability to protect Australia.
Therefore, after the British army defeated Parth, more and more Australian parliamentarians asked the Australian government to maintain the integrity of Australia.
Q: How can we maintain the integrity of Australia under the premise that Theo has voted for independence?
The answer is to join if you can’t beat it.
Like Theo’s government, Canberra doesn’t want to have an evil mother-in-law over its head to collect taxes.
Australia is a standard resource exporting country. Its main export materials are wool and wheat, and its export destination is the United Kingdom.
Britain imported wool and wheat from Australia at low prices, and then exported industrial products to Australia at prices higher than the market average. All losses were borne by the Australian government.
This is how the so-called trade gap in Britain comes from.
If London were not so greedy, these British overseas dominions would not be so centrifugal.
Australians are also British, and they are all descendants of criminals. Even the first batch of police officers were selected from criminals who performed relatively well.
The Australians have fully demonstrated the duplicity inherent in the British. A considerable number of Theo's volunteers come from other parts of Australia.
The Australian government is not ignorant of this situation.
The reason why the Australian government did not stop it is because it is also hedging its bets.
If Theo's government fails to withstand the British attack, Canberra will still be a model dominion of the United Kingdom.
Now that the British army has retreated from Perth, if Canberra remains honest, it will not be British.
