Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1263 New Generation Official

With the support of Philip, the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Internal Affairs acted very quickly. On the morning of January 25, the police from the Ministry of Internal Affairs broke into the Pretoria City Hall and took Mayor Greenton Cronin from his office. , on the grounds of dereliction of duty.

On the evening of the 26th, Vernon Aldington, a member of the Transvaal State Assembly, was arrested at his home for abusing his power.

On the 28th, Bloemfontein Police Chief Spark Pooran shot himself in his office for an undisclosed reason.

In just one week, fifteen high-ranking officials in southern Africa were arrested in what The Times dubbed a "fox hunt" by the Ministry of Justice and the Home Office.

"Operation Fox Hunt—what a good name, are there really so many officials who have committed crimes? Do the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Internal Affairs have any real evidence?" Ade took the initiative to call Rock to his manor and asked Rock about this opinion of things.

These arrested officials were all appointed during Adelaide's tenure.

Therefore, if the illegal acts of these officials are true, then Ade also has an inescapable responsibility.

At the very least, a scapegoat who doesn't know people can't be thrown away.

"Basically, there is tangible evidence. The Department of Justice and Brad's office have been investigating them for a long time." Roque has a better understanding of the situation, and Brad's office has played an important auxiliary role in this process.

"Then why didn't you report to me in time?" Ade was dissatisfied. He didn't think Roque deliberately concealed it, but Philip found so many moths as soon as he came to power. It seems that Ade was too tolerant of these officials when he was prime minister.

In fact, Adelaide has never been soft on officials who violated the law. During his ten years in office, Adelaide has personally arrested more than 50 officials, and nearly half of them were sentenced to life imprisonment or the death penalty.

Of course, the officials also followed suit in this regard. Thinking that Emperor Hongwu had skinned countless corrupt officials back then, but did not stop the officials from continuing to follow suit.

In fact, during the years when Adelaide served as prime minister, the economy of southern Africa has grown by leaps and bounds, and many dark sides have been covered up by the colorful economic situation, and Adelaide has somewhat relaxed the administration of officials.

"The crimes committed by these officials are actually not serious. They belong to the kind that can be investigated or not investigated. For example, Greenton Cronin used his power to benefit his relatives and handed over part of the municipal projects to the company run by his son. Responsible, this kind of behavior is actually very normal, as long as there are no problems in the project, under normal circumstances no one will be held accountable." Rock joked, but the reason is not that simple, Ade is a very nostalgic person, even when Ade was in office, Rock Report these situations to Ade, and it is estimated that Greenton Cronin will not be punished too severely.

Of course, to make a mistake is to make a mistake. This is irrefutable, and everyone must be responsible for their actions.

"Then what about Spark Pulan? What's the matter with him?" Although Ade had no expression on his face, the haze in his eyes still betrayed him.

Spark Pulan was also an official promoted by Adelaide himself, and his post of police chief was also appointed by Adelaide himself.

"Sparke Pulan's problem is a bit serious. He bears the unshirkable responsibility for the Freiburg rebellion. The situation in Rayburg was taken seriously, but Spark Polan turned a deaf ear to it, and the parade eventually turned into a riot.” Rock was settling accounts after the fall, and Spark Polan had other problems, but compared to Freiburg, those problems were not It's serious.

Ade was silent for a long time, and then asked, "How is the situation in Freiburg?"

Since ordering the Wehrmacht to blockade Freiburg, except for that press conference, Ader has not asked about Freiburg's situation, giving Rock the greatest degree of autonomy.

Now that Ade is resigning, the situation in Freiburg actually has nothing to do with Ade, and there is no need for Ade to ask.

After all, Ade still can't let go of the southern Africa he created.

"The Wehrmacht has controlled the situation in Freiburg, and Freiburg is returning to normal." Roque didn't want to say too much. The military has issued a gag order, and no one is allowed to talk about what happened in Freiburg.

"How many people died?" Ade refused to let go.

"More than 5000——" Rock didn't want to say more, this number was not consistent with what Rock had learned at first, and Rock didn't know there were so many people in Freiburg at first.

In fact, even if he knew, Rock would not change his mind. The stubborn forces among the Boers basically died in Freiburg, and they should not be able to cause large-scale chaos in the future.

Ade was not surprised by this number. From the Second Boer War to the World War, Ade had no feeling for this level of numbers. The moment Freiburg chose to rebel, they were already enemies of the federal government.

Ade never treats the enemy softly, and has always been firm. Killing the enemy is the best way to treat the enemy.

Rock didn't leave at night, and stayed in Ade's manor to eat with Ade. Ade was never married, but actually lived a lonely life.

Sidney Milner is now working next to Rock, but Sidney Milner keeps his wife and children by his side to accompany Ad, which is somewhat of a comfort to Ad.

Also having dinner at the estate was Kitchener.

This is also a lifelong single dog who has dedicated his life to his beloved British Empire, and is still serving the British Empire, serving as the governor of southern Africa far away from London.

"Don't worry about it, old man. Philip is trying to show his prestige, not against anyone." Kitchener also knew what happened in southern Africa during this period.

"I don't care. I'm not a little old man who is attached to power. Now that I have left the Palace of Justice, I will stop dictating other people, so as not to make fun of myself." , the diet is relatively light, while Rock and Sidney Milner are big fish and meat, completely ignoring the envious eyes of the two old men.

"You two are really too much, we are eating corn, but you are eating roast chicken, can't you give me a chicken leg?" Kitchener made a lot of trouble, Sidney Milner was dumbfounded.

Rock was stunned for a moment, then tore off the chicken legs and put them on a plate to send to Kitchener.

Ade watched coldly.

Rock was dumbfounded, the other chicken leg was on his plate, and he had already eaten half of it.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of ingredients in Ade's manor, and Rock immediately asked the maid to roast another one, old and young, so I can't afford to provoke him.

"Southern Africa is indeed a good place. I used to live in London. My nose was uncomfortable every winter. When it was severe, I couldn't breathe. It's much better now. The air in Pretoria is fresh and the environment is beautiful. Locke, you should ask London It is suggested to bring those retired officials to Pretoria and build a scenic spot for them to retire, so that you will have countless allies." Kitchener has fully realized the advantages of southern Africa, and now let him return to London He doesn't leave.

"You can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep." Rock didn't hold out much hope. There would be reports about southern Africa in major newspapers in London every now and then, but some people were unwilling to believe it anyway.

"That's a good suggestion—" Ade also had chicken legs on his plate, and even if Ade didn't eat a bite, he was satisfied.

"Have you noticed a problem? Most of the dismissed officials and their successors are Chinese." Sidney Milner mentioned it inadvertently, and realized something was wrong after he finished speaking.

This is the fact that the successors of the three officials mentioned above are all Chinese.

Nearly 1908 years have passed since the first batch of graduates left Nyasaland University in 12.

Among the first batch of graduates from Nyasaland University, a large part of them entered the federal government at all levels. After more than ten years of training, those graduates who were full of ambitions have become the backbone of the federal government at all levels. Ke also has a relevant statistical data in his hands. Among the various departments of the federal government, more than half of the bureau-level units have more Chinese officials than white officials.

If the natural advantages of white officials in promotion are taken into account, the proportion of Chinese officials should be higher. In actual work, the performance of Chinese officials is indeed far higher than that of white officials.

Most of the white officials in southern Africa have been in office since Adelaide was governor. Among the new generation of officials, the number of Chinese officials far exceeds that of white officials.

Knowing this background, the current situation will not be too surprising.

"The official who succeeded Greenton Cronin as the mayor of Pretoria was Shi Qi, and his English name was Smith. He first served as the third secretary in the Pretoria city government, and later served as the deputy director of the mayor's office. , the deputy director of the Internal Affairs Department, the director of the Urban Construction Bureau, and the director of the Finance Bureau. When Greenton Cronin was taken away, Shi Qi was the deputy mayor of Pretoria. He has never made any mistakes in his work, and his achievements are obvious to all. There is nothing shady about Shi Qi's succession to Greenton Cronin, he is more competent than the other two deputy mayors—oh, yes, the other two deputy mayors are actually Chinese." Rock said to Shi Qi Knowing the situation well, among the new generation of officials, Shi Qi's performance is indeed very good.

After listening to Rock's words, Kitchener's expression was a little confused. He had been in southern Africa for too short a time and did not know enough about the situation in southern Africa.

Ade knew Shi Qi quite well, and his impression was still very good. After Roque finished speaking, Ade pondered for a while, but did not speak.

"Lock, that's not what I meant—" Sidney Milner was in trouble, but fortunately, he and Rock had a good relationship, and Rock shouldn't mind.

"It's okay, Sidney, this will happen more and more in the future." Rock is confident that as long as it is a fair competition, the Chinese will not lose to anyone.
