Chapter 1105

At the end of the meeting, Rock and Henry exchanged a tacit smile and packed their things by themselves.

As soon as he walked out of the conference room, Sidney Milner stopped Rock and Henry: "Minister Locke, Minister Matilda, the Prime Minister asks you two to come over."

The Prime Minister summoned him and had to go. Roque asked his newly recruited secretary, Fitch, to wait for him in the car. Fitch was a recommendation student who had just graduated from Nyasaland Army Academy this year. Outstanding talents recommended to go to Nyasaland Army Academy for further study.

Rock's previous secretaries, Angie and Patton, had already been delegated. One went to the army and the other went to the navy. So after returning to southern Africa, the Ministry of Defense recommended several suitable secretary candidates for Rock. Fitch was chosen in the middle.

Fitch's father also worked with Roque in the Cape Town Police Department, and Roque trusted those old brothers more because of emotion and reason.

In the prime minister's office, Ade frowned. Roque's proposal today surprised Ade. Roque had never been so tyrannical before the outbreak of the world war.

"Actually, I originally wanted to place the Honor Hold troops in the Republic of Congo and the Kingdom of Congo respectively. It was Henry who reminded me that it is more in our interest to place the Honor Hold troops in West Africa." Rock said frankly. Facing those ministers, Luo Ke Ke still has reservations, so there is no need to face Ade.

"The Portuguese—we were allies during the World War." Ade reminded Rock that Portugal was indeed a member of the Allied Powers during the World War. At that time, Rock even had two Portuguese divisions under him, but the morale of these two divisions was low. Outdated equipment and poor training conditions have not played a real role, and have always been a symbolic existence.

There is indeed no room for Portugal to intervene in the game of great powers such as the World War. The two divisions sent by Portugal are just an attitude. During the World War, these two divisions did not participate in any battles, and their performance was not as good as that of the Indian Army. .

"My lord, an ally like Portugal is not worthy of trust." Roque would not care about Portugal. This means that the Allies won the World War. If the Allies won the World War, then Portugal would immediately fall to the Allies, just like Italy Same.

Italy is the real thing to do, and it is the No.1 team.

"Then we can't blatantly infringe on Portugal's rights. We still have to have the proper posture." Ade reminded Roque not to be so ugly. Southern Africa already has Southwest Africa and Tanganyika, with a territory of more than 550 million square meters This made Ade not only pleasantly surprised but also apprehensive, for fear that the blooming flowers in front of him were just a dream.

"Don't worry, I know, I won't leave anyone with any clues." Rock was full of confidence. Ade probably thought that Rock would be as smart as England and France, and Rock's methods would not be so rough.

Is it that the spring of the spring is not good, or that the peace is not fragrant, so we have to blatantly grab it.

Rock has a hundred ways to legally turn West Africa into a part of Southern Africa, and he has to let the Portuguese knock out their teeth and swallow them, just like the Belgians who lost the Congo Free State.

Ade still trusted Rock, waved his hand to let Rock and Henry leave, lowered his head and began to process the documents.

After leaving the door, Henry resented: "So, why did you let me stay, you didn't say a word to me from the beginning to the end."

Henry was really unhappy. When Rock was no longer in southern Africa, Henry was a frequent visitor to the Prime Minister's office and the number one celebrity in front of Adelaide.

After Rock returned to southern Africa, Henry was thrown into the cold palace immediately, and he was obviously left without saying a word. This was Rock, and Henry wouldn't take it to heart.

"That means you've done a good job, and there's nothing the prime minister can complain about. Believe it or not, if my answer just now doesn't satisfy the prime minister, the two of us will be scolded together." Rock walked briskly, and would go home to accompany Fei Li later. Ruth and Philip had dinner together, and Roark was now on the verge of returning home.

"Then that is to say, the praise belongs to you alone, and if the scolding belongs to both of us." Henry was even more upset, and he was so serious in front of Roque. In fact, he had no objection to Ade. Both Henry and Roque It was Adelaide who picked it up by himself.

"Ha, that's right—" Rock couldn't help laughing. Only in southern Africa could Rock feel the long-lost relaxation. When in France, Rock often couldn't sleep at night.

In southern Africa, even if Roque did something wrong, Ade and Philip were behind him.

It was different in France, especially after Roque became the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, countless pairs of eyes stared at Roque, waiting for Roque to make mistakes. .

When I got home, Phyllis had already prepared dinner with Lacey and Karina. This was a regular dinner every week. Although Philip had a cook at home, Phyllis would also do it with Lacey and Karina.

"Thank you, dear—" Seeing Roque come back, Phyllis took the initiative to greet her, and helped Roque take off his coat while sending a kiss.

"For you, beautiful lady—" Rock took out a blooming rose from behind like a trick.

The smile on Phyllis's face was immediately more beautiful than a rose.

Lacey looked at Henry expectantly.

Henry looked at Rock with dull eyes.

Rock ignored the couple, and went to the living room with Phyllis affectionately arm in arm.

"Shameless dog stuff, just picked in the neighbor's garden—" Henry accused someone of moral corruption.

"So you came back empty-handed—" Lacey gritted her teeth, women don't care how flowers come from, what women care about is whether they are there.

"No, I brought a heart." Henry was disgusted.

Lacey disliked her face, curled her lips and turned around to leave.

In the living room, Philip and Owen were chatting, and the men of the Matilda family were still very happy. It is the tradition of the Matilda family that the male leads the outside and the female leads the inside.

"Lock, have you heard that the Allied Powers finally started war on the Russian Empire—" Owen made a fuss.

With a heavy heart, Rock finally made it to this point.

Fortunately, Rock has returned to southern Africa. No matter how lively the fight in Europe is, it has nothing to do with Rock.

"The commander-in-chief of the Allied Powers is Ian Hamilton. I remember that when you were the commander-in-chief of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force, Ian Hamilton was your chief of staff. How about this man? Can he defeat the Russians?" Owen still thinks Europe is not enough Chaos, but from the perspective of southern Africa, Owen's reaction is correct.

"Ian is a good person, and he is indeed capable, but now he is launching a war against Russia—" Rock shook his head and smiled bitterly. It is November, and it is winter, and Russia, which has a weather bonus, is almost impossible to defeat.

""Le Figaro" published the news of the death of the Tsar's family of the Russian Empire, His Majesty had to fight." Philip explained with a frown.

That's right, it turned out that the French were the hindrances.

Although the news of the death of Nicholas II's family has been rumored, it has never been confirmed.

The editor of "Le Figaro" is also very powerful, not only published the news of the death of Nicholas II's family, but also published the basement where Nicholas II's family was executed, and the news of Nicholas II's family. Photo of the cemetery.

When the rumors were not confirmed, George V could still pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Now the rumors have finally been confirmed, whether in public or private, George V will launch a war against Russia.

"Public" because of the 7.5 million pounds foreign debt owed by the Russian Empire to Great Britain.

"Private" must be because of the relationship between George V and Nicholas II.

Rock casually picked up the newspaper on the coffee table, and sure enough, the headline on the front page was "Nicholas II's family died in a basement in Yekaterinaburg".

The editor of "Le Figaro" gave full play to the romance and gossip of the French, and described the death of Nicholas II's family just like the street stall literature of a third-rate tabloid. The whole article is full of absurd and unconfirmed news .

Rock casually glanced at it and put down the newspaper. The news of the death was indeed true, and the details could not withstand scrutiny.

"Will our troops still in Europe participate in this war?" Philip was worried. The world war had just ended, and a new war broke out, and there was no peace for a moment.

"It should be, but it doesn't matter, Europe is too far away from us, so this war will not affect us." Roque took the green tea sent by Phyllis, and murmured with Phyllis in front of Philip .

Philip's eyebrows were twitching, and Owen looked down at the newspaper and pretended not to know anything.

Henry, who just came over, was uninterested, and glared at Rock after sitting down.

Rock smiled and drank tea, and was stunned when he saw the teacup inadvertently. He raised the teacup and looked at the bottom of the cup——

Sure enough, there was a blue mark on the bottom of the teacup.

"Phyllis, put away this set of tea sets, and give me another cup." Rock couldn't bear to waste everything. Now this set of cups is not worth much, and it will be so in a few decades.

"What's the matter?" Phyllis didn't know why. During the World War, all kinds of handicrafts in southern Africa surged. This set of teacups was sent by Christian. Phyllis felt good and gave it to Philip. She really didn't Realized how precious this set of mugs is.

In other words, if Phyllis really knew the actual value of this set of cups, she wouldn't have sent them to Philip.

Philip looked aside coldly and didn't say a word.

After finally getting through to eat, the previous dining table simply couldn’t accommodate so many people now, so it was simply a table for adults and a table for children.

Men must drink some wine, and Phyllis, Lacey, and Irina can actually drink some, but everyone has a temperance and tastes it lightly.

After dinner, as usual, the women gossip in the living room, and the men go to the study to smoke, drink tea and chat. The topic begins with the upcoming war.

ps: Today's fourth update is completed, and I have to go out to download something later. If I come back late, the midnight update will be postponed until around twelve o'clock tomorrow——
