Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1199

The election model of the democratic system is also enough for Roque.

Southern Africa is better off. The last time Congress amended the Constitution, the election of the Prime Minister was fixed every five years, and only once every five years. It used to be once every four years.

In this way, every five years, the leaders of the federal government must focus their energy on election campaigns. Those in office want to keep their positions, and those in opposition want to take power. How much energy can be devoted to national development?

Democracy and democracy are all populist in the end. In order to win votes, candidates made better promises before the election, but they failed to fulfill their promises after they were elected, which caused the government's credibility in the hearts of voters to go bankrupt. Only among two equally bad people, the right to choose one who doesn't look so bad to cast your vote indiscriminately is actually meaningless.

When the Federal Government of Southern Africa was established, Philip's reputation was far less than that of Adelaide, so in the first election, Adelaide was undoubtedly elected as the Prime Minister of the Federal Government of Southern Africa, and has been re-elected until now.

Philip was obviously very dissatisfied with this fact.

The Matilda family is powerful in southern Africa. Roque, Henry, Owen, and the most outstanding young people in southern Africa are almost all members of the Matilda family. Although Stoudemire is not, but he and Roque and Henry There are inextricably linked.

The current situation is obvious, although after the end of the world war, Ade, who led southern Africa to win the world war, has reached an unprecedented peak, but as long as Philip can get Rock's help, then Philip is not hopeless.

The headquarters of the Liberal Party in Pretoria is a four-story granite building. Southern Africa stipulates that elevators must be installed in buildings with six floors and above. There are two elevators for employees and one for senior management.

The current headquarters of the Liberal Party is becoming more and more formal. The security personnel are all in black suits and uniforms, and they are not the high-end suits from cheap stores, at least they are high-end suits produced by Itno.

The receptionists at the front desk are all young girls, two Caucasians and two Chinese, both glamorous and innocent, fully taking care of every target group.

Rock used the elevator taken by the executive to go directly to the fourth floor. He definitely didn't need an appointment to see Philip.

"You have to think about it carefully. The current situation is very bad. It is very likely that an economic crisis will break out within a year or two. At that time, no matter who becomes the prime minister, it will definitely be affected." Rock reminded Philip that it is really not the time to be the prime minister. good chance.

"Hehe, Locke, I just want to give it a try. No matter how I perform as prime minister, as long as I have been prime minister once, I will have no regrets." Philip is not afraid of the economic crisis. As the speaker of the Congress, Philip knows that the federal government has With a plan to deal with the economic crisis, even if southern Africa will be affected by the economic crisis, then among all countries, southern Africa must be the least affected.

"Okay, I will find time to chat with the Prime Minister." Philip had already said this, and Roque could only give in.

Although Rock is willing to help Philip, Rock absolutely does not want this to affect the relationship with Ade.

Let Philip feel the pain of being the prime minister. Roque is not worried that Philip will make a big mistake in the position of prime minister. If Philip is the prime minister, then Adelaide will probably be the speaker of the parliament. With Adelaide watching, Philip has no chance to make mistakes. Wrong, just like Philip supervises Adelaide now, as long as Adelaide does not do well enough or is not timely, the Congress will immediately ask the Prime Minister to go to Congress to explain.

The explanation is just a nice way of saying it, and it should be the Prime Minister who accepts the parliamentary questioning.

"Great, if I were prime minister, I would fight for greater autonomy for southern Africa, strive for equal status with London, and promote the establishment of a customs system for the Commonwealth, further strengthening the status of southern Africa in the Commonwealth, To create better conditions for the sale of goods from Southern Africa to other parts of the Commonwealth, I will also integrate the Commonwealth and the United States to compete, and further strengthen our position in international affairs in Southern Africa—” Philip went on and on, he is indeed Want to do a big job.

It's a pity that after Philip becomes prime minister, he will understand that the prime minister can't do whatever he wants.

Ade has been doing the things that Philip said, but sometimes the development of the objective world will not be shifted by personal will. Ade wants to strive for more benefits for southern Africa. Sorry, Winston thinks the same.

Winston also wanted to fight for more interests for the British mainland.

Viscount Gladstone wanted to win more interests for Australia.

A saint in India also wants to fight for more benefits for India.

Canadians and New Zealanders also have their own demands.

But the cake is just that big.

How to do?

If someone eats more, someone will definitely eat less.

"Philip, let's be realistic. What you said is very good, but you still can't get the congressmen to vote for you." Rock didn't call him dad. Since he was talking about business, let's put personal relationships aside.

Elections in southern Africa are different from elections in the United Kingdom. In the United Kingdom, the leader of the ruling party automatically becomes the candidate for prime minister, and then becomes the prime minister after being confirmed by the king.

When the federal government of Southern Africa was established, there was no clear system for the selection of the prime minister. Neither the Liberal Party nor the Progressive Party had put forward a candidate that everyone would be convinced of.

At the end of Adelaide's first term, during the World War, no elections were held at that time. Last year, the Congress amended the "Constitution" and decided to hold elections every five years in southern Africa. The next election will be next year in 1919 carried out, the elected prime minister would start his own term in 1920.

Elections in southern Africa require members of Congress to vote. Members of Congress come from each state. The number of members of Congress is determined every five years according to the population of each state, with a minimum of five and a maximum of ten.

Nyasaland now has five MPs, two from the Liberal Party and three from the Nyasaland Party.

By 1920, Congress will begin to determine the number of members of Congress based on the population of each state. Nyasaland will definitely have an increase in the number of members of Congress by then, while a state like Orange whose population has not increased but decreased will have the number of members of Congress. It is estimated that it will decrease.

That's not right, Orange is now also five members of Congress, and the worst is to remain unchanged.

This means that the voice of Orange State is declining.

"As long as the congressmen of the three states of Transvaal, Rhodesia, and Nyasaland vote for me, then I will definitely win." Philip's cards must be more than these three states, and Adelaide governs the country When he was working hard, Philip probably spent most of his energy on winning over congressmen.

This is the root of democracy.

When he left the headquarters of the Liberal Party, Roque suddenly realized that if he ran for the election now, he might have a chance of being elected prime minister.

Think about it, if Roque is willing to run, then the votes of Nyasaland and Rhodesia must undoubtedly belong to Roque, not to mention the other votes in Transvaal, the vote of Barker must belong to Roque of.

Rock has at least half the chance to win the votes of other states. After all, except for Cape and Orange, the proportion of Chinese in all states in southern Africa is at least half, similar to Bechuanaland Lorenzo. In Guess, Basutoland and Dias, the proportion of Chinese is above 70.00%, which means that Rock can get at least half of the votes.

Steady!

However, Roque does not want to run for the election yet. Being prime minister is indeed a high position, but who knows what it feels like. In the words of Sidney Milner, Ade never sleeps before one o'clock in the morning. Get up at six o'clock.

Not to mention that the elderly don’t sleep well, the elderly also need enough sleep to ensure their health. It’s also good to let Ade take a rest. After working so hard, Ade’s body will not be able to hold on.

Ade's personal doctor is still Su Xian. Su Xian has been recuperating Ade's body, but because Ade's work is too busy, the effect is not very good. Ade's body has been deteriorating over the years.

Back to the Ministry of Defense, although the Ministry of Defense now has three deputy ministers, there are still many things that need to be decided by Roque.

The Navy hopes to secure funding to order a true Southern African aircraft carrier from Edwards Dockyard.

The Air Force also needs money, and hopes to completely replace the "Strong Wind" fighter jets that have lagged behind in performance. Nyasaran Aviation Group has now launched the "Strong Wind" fighter jet, which has a comprehensive performance improvement of about 30.00% compared with "Strong Wind".

The army’s report is literally crying blood. After the end of the world war, the army laid off a large number of troops. The number of more than 100 million troops has now been reduced to less than 5. You must know that during the world war, the number of technical arms of the southern African expeditionary force was more than [-]. However, those artillery and armored soldiers who have relatively high quality requirements cannot be temporarily recruited and simply trained to form combat effectiveness.

Various arms also have higher requirements for military academies. The Ministry of National Defense has established the Naval Academy and the Air Force Academy on the basis of the Army Academy. However, due to insufficient funds, the construction of each academy has not yet met the requirements. Now the Air Force has to rely on flying clubs for teaching , The Navy wants to send officers who need training to study in the UK. Only the Army Academy is in a better situation, but the Army Academy has not met Rock's requirements.

To put it bluntly, there is still no money, and Roque can't pay for the national defense of southern Africa out of his own pocket.

Narok is just too great.

ps: What exactly did I do to give you a feeling that I have too many debts and no worries? The main line is to expand the living space of the Chinese and improve the status of the Chinese in the international community. It is not the First World War. The current plots are also the main line. It took two world wars to succeed——
