Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1073 The curtain call

The United Kingdom has rich experience in establishing a country. After the end of another world war in time and space, the United Kingdom established the Kingdom of Iraq in the Mesopotamia and established Jewish settlements in Palestine. These measures have had an important impact on the future of the Middle East.

Rock in this time and space will definitely not allow the British government to harm the Mesopotamia. Now hundreds of thousands of Chinese have settled down in the Mesopotamia. Not only have they opened up farms to resume production, but they are also building an oil pipeline between Port Elizabeth and Beirut. In order to ensure the safety of the oil pipeline, Roque must also ensure that the Mesopotamia is in his own hands.

As for the Ottomans and Persians who used to live in the Mesopotamia, Ali Rashid moved some of them to Egypt, and gave the other part to Lisa Khan. He exchanged the Persian Empire for Khuzestan, from head to toe Tail Southern Africa has not come forward.

This work has been basically completed now. If it is possible, Rock still hopes that the Mesopotamia will be entrusted to Southern Africa as a Grade A mandated territory. Leave it for future resolution.

Ending the exchange with Louis Botha, Roque's mission in France is coming to an end, but before returning to southern Africa, Roque will go to England to receive his second Order of the Garter and give a speech in Congress. He will also be bequeathed by King George V of England at Buckingham Palace.

With his performance in the World War, George V decided to promote Roque as Marquess of Nyasaland. In this World War, only Roque and Kitchener won this honor, and they have been transferred back to England. Haig was made a viscount.

The night before leaving Paris, Roque participated in the farewell dinner hosted by French President Pongale for Roque. This should be a coincidence. Calais' dinner party is over.

The dinner was held at the Elysee Palace, where Poengale's official residence is located, and Roque arrived at the Elysee Palace with Louis Botha on time at six o'clock in the evening.

As the Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Force, Roque attracted much attention. Clemenceau, as the French Prime Minister, greeted Roque at the entrance of the banquet hall.

When they saw Roque, Clemenceau and Roque shook hands warmly, and their words were full of regret: "It's such a pity, I was planning to find time for us to have a good chat, but I didn't expect you to leave France now, I really hope We still have a chance to meet, but unfortunately I am already old, otherwise I really want to go to southern Africa with you to have a look."

Clemenceau was 76 years old when he became prime minister of France, the oldest of all the leaders of the Entente.

Compared with Clemenceau, Foch, and Pétain, Roque, who is less than 40 years old, is too young. As a senior official, Pershing is young enough, but he is also close to 60 years old.

"There is a chance. When you retire, I will send someone to pick you up to southern Africa. We can fish and have a picnic in Lake Niassa together. The whitebait in Los Angeles is simply amazing. During my time in France, Dreaming is like whitebait.” After living in France for a long time, Roque has also adapted to the French language style, feeling that his usual speech is like an aria.

"Hahahaha, then you have to wait a bit, I want to be the French Prime Minister again--" Clemenceau refused to accept the old, the taste of power is really wonderful.

After greeting Clemenceau, Roque embraced Foch, Pétain, and Pershing in turn. No matter how many differences there were between them during the World War, their purpose was the same, to defeat the Germans.

Now that the war was finally over, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and all the unhappiness disappeared with the smoke of gunpowder. In all fairness, Foch, Petain, and Pershing were all excellent soldiers, and Roque thanked them respectively.

"Thank you Ferdinand, it's an honor to fight side by side with you, you are the best soldier I have ever seen, your contribution to the World War will definitely be remembered by people—" Roque said to Foch The impression is very good, especially when Foch was serving as the Ninth Army, he cooperated tacitly with the British Expeditionary Force commanded by Roque.

After Foch became the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, the differences between Roque and Foch do not seem to be important now. After all, being the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces is more complicated to consider than being the commander of the Ninth Army.

"I also want to thank you Locke. Without your bravery and decisiveness, the World War would not have ended." Foch also admired Rock highly. Under his leadership, the British Expeditionary Force was on the right track.

For Pétain, Roque is another kind of emotion. Without Petain's two efforts to turn the tide, the world war would have taken a completely different direction, especially during the Battle of Verdun, when Roque had just taken over the British Expeditionary Force The commander-in-chief has not really controlled the British Expeditionary Force. If France was defeated at that time, Roque would also lead the British Expeditionary Force back to the British mainland. In that case, victory may be far away.

Relatively speaking, Rock's impression of Pershing is not very good, not only because of Pershing's insistence on independent command, but also because of the potential threat that the United States represented by Pershing poses to Britain and southern Africa. In World War I, the interests gained by the United States are far from being comparable to those in another time and space.

In the latter part of the World War, the U.S. government finally realized this problem, so it rushed into the war.

The war potential shown by the United States after participating in the war is indeed shocking. When the Allies launched a counterattack, an average of 25 U.S. troops arrived in Belgium every month. Thousands of troops, together with equipment, were sent across the Atlantic from the United States to Belgium, and southern Africa does not have this capability now.

Maybe the UK has it, but the UK doesn't have that many troops to deploy.

Entering the venue, under the leadership of Poengale, Winston, and Woodrow Wilson, the guests attending the banquet applauded Rock together.

Poengale took the initiative to invite Roque to speak.

When Rock was speaking, Poengale, Winston, and Woodrow Wilson stood in a row next to Rock, smiling and applauding. A reporter took this picture.

"I'm very sorry. I thought that I only need to drink and eat when I come here. I didn't expect to have to speak. I was not ready. Your Excellency should inform me——" Rock started in a joking way, and the guests responded With good-natured laughter and enthusiastic applause.

This time the applause took longer, and the guests were very tolerant of Roque, giving Roque enough time to adjust.

"When I came to France three years ago, the world war was raging, the German frontier was only a hundred kilometers away from Paris, and the civilized world was at stake-thanks to all the brave men who fought and defended the order of the civilized world , let us be here to celebrate the victory - thanks to all the people who worked hard to defeat the evil group of the Allies, it is their hard work and sweat that gave us enough confidence to fight on the front line - thanks to the king, prime minister, president who worked day and night , prime ministers, and officials at all levels of the governments of various countries, it is because of your hard work that frontline soldiers will not fight against the enemy hungry. In the past four years, 30 countries have been involved in the war, and 15 billion people have been affected. 6500 million men fought, 2000 million were wounded, 1000 million were killed, countless families were torn apart by the war, and countless tragedies were being played out in the land that raised us. As a member of the Entente, as Minister of Defense and Minister of War in the Federal Government of Southern Africa , as Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Force, I have an obligation to lead my men to victory - but at the same time as a human being, as a father of four, I hope that when my children grow up, I will never War breaks out—may the world be peaceful!" Roque ended in a provocative way, and the applause resounded through the Elysee Palace again, and it lasted for a long time.

"Locke, you have the potential to be president, work hard!" Pongale admired Roque very much, and there will be a ceremony later, Pongale will represent the French government to grant Roque the position of Marshal, which is rare award.

"Don't listen to someone's nonsense, Locke, be your Minister of Defense and Minister of War well. Maybe one day in the future, you can become the Prime Minister of the British Empire. This is what a British should pursue!" Winston guarded against death, Roque is replacing Kitchener as Britain's new generation of "Military God". This honor is more prominent than that of the French President.

"Lord Nyasaran, congratulations. Your achievements are unprecedented, and may be unprecedented. If possible, I invite you to visit the United States. You can have a good chat with our General Pershing." Woodrow Wilson sent an invitation to Roque in person.

Rock smiled and said nothing. It is okay to visit the United States. First, the "Chinese Exclusion Act" was abolished. Although Rock is British, he is also of Chinese descent.

If it was the former Roque, then some things would be held back in his heart.

Now Rock doesn't have to worry about it. In front of Woodrow Wilson, Rock is unceremonious: "The United States seems to have the "Chinese Exclusion Act", so I'm afraid I can't go there. There are too many Chinese in my entourage—— "

Saying this, Woodrow Wilson was immediately embarrassed.

Winston and Poengale frowned almost at the same time, but they soon returned to normal. Looking at Winston's expression, he felt a little relieved.

Before Rock had time to think about it, a dwarf suddenly squeezed in front of Rock, holding Rock's hand for a while.

"This is Mr. Shinshin Makino—" Winston offered to introduce Rock.

"Ahaha, your Japanese is pretty good, and what you speak is the same as English." Rock laughed, but he really didn't understand.

Makino Shinzo made a strange expression, Winston's eyes widened in a funny expression, Pongale was dumbfounded, Woodrow Wilson looked up at the sky speechlessly—there was no one more embarrassing than me.

"Lord Nyasaran, I speak English—" Shino Makino blushed.

This is not to blame Rock, the English pronunciation of the Japanese is really not much better than that of the Indians.
