Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1406
If you work with Roque for a long time, you will be seriously affected by Roque.

It's not that Roque doesn't abide by the law, but that Roque is better at using factors other than the law to solve problems. The process may not necessarily abide by the law, but the result must be justice.

Compared with Rock, some people in the Cape State government are indeed naive. After Galbraith detained Du Pin, the tax official, the Cape State government sent people to negotiate with Galbraith. Officials sent by the Puzhou government to negotiate were also detained by Galbraith.

At this time, the Cape State government is still fantasizing about using peaceful means to solve the problem.

It's a pity that no one dared to go to McClair to contact Galbraith anymore.

Just kidding, the officials who had gone to McClell had already been detained, and sending people to McClell would only make Galbraith more and more chips in his hands, making the Cape State government more and more passive.

In February, the militia organized by Galbraith had more than a thousand members. It was said that Galbraith had already started military training for the militia. At this time, the Cape State government still refused the intervention of the federal government.

"The Cape State government has the ability to solve McClell's problem. It does not need the help of the federal government. Without the permission of the Cape State government, the federal government cannot send a single soldier into Cape State." Cape Governor Edmund Law said in this We are firm on this issue, and the federal government's laws do have provisions in this regard.

"Your Excellency, the Galbraith rebels—" Deputy Minister of Justice Rhodes Frank was Henry's confidant as early as when Henry was the Chief of Police in Pretoria.

"Frank, McClair has no rebels!" Edmund Law corrected decisively. If McClair's militia was defined as rebels, then the federal government would have enough reason to intervene.

"Well, McClair has no rebels—" Rhodes Frank doesn't bother, it doesn't matter whether it's rebels or not, the key is whether the Cape State government has the ability to solve the problem: "—Galbraith has begun to train his Troops, his troops are now thousands of people, with heavy firepower including heavy machine guns and grenade launchers, I want to ask you a question, the federal government did not allow civilians to have military high power weapons a long time ago, why Galbraith A heavy machine gun and a grenade launcher?"

The Rhodes-Frank problem is acute. On this issue, the Cape State government has not implemented it thoroughly.

The consequences of muddling along are very serious. When there is no problem, no one will pay attention to it. Once the problem breaks out, someone will definitely be held accountable.

"I don't know why, it's impossible for us to send people door-to-door to collect weapons. If someone wants to hide them deliberately, they will always find a way—not to mention, I was not the governor at the time—" Edmund Lawrence did it Net, this is the true meaning of democracy, should we be held accountable?Go after the former governor, not me—

The former governor seems to have been Dr. Starr Jameson—

Hey, this guy is still not dead?

Even Cecil Rhodes and Louis Botha are dead, the guy who claimed to be dying of illness in 1900 is still alive!

So unscientific.

"But since you know the facts, why didn't you start to solve this problem after you became the governor?" Rhodes Frank had a broken face. His achievements were all his own, and his mistakes were all his predecessors. Good job.

"First of all, I want to correct you. I didn't know that Galbraith possessed a heavy weapon. Secondly, I want to say that I have been working hard to solve the problem, and I have not shirked responsibility." Edmund Law looked upright, Nia The Saran State government is recognized as efficient, the Rhodesian State government is recognized as rich, the Transvaal State government is recognized as having no sense of presence, and the Cape State government is working very hard.

Well, I've been working hard--

Nima, a state government that manages more than 100 million square kilometers, can't find any merits except hard work. It is as low as a football team composed of 14 people selected by 11 billion people.

"Then the problem is solved? No, the direction is wrong, and the process is meaningless." Rhodes Frank was blunt. Cape Town is the capital of justice, and the Ministry of Justice is still very powerful in Cape Town.

"How can you say that? If you say this, you will insult the entire Cape!" Edmund Law felt that he was greatly insulted. Of course, he was very good at using the status of governor at this time.

"Don't change the topic, Governor, what I want to say is that the federal government's patience is limited, and it will not allow some people's selfishness to affect the stability of the entire Cape State. Don't wait until things reach the point of no return. At that time, you and the state government you lead must bear all the consequences caused by it." Rhodes Frank didn't want to talk nonsense, but when it came to this point, if Edmund Law continued to do it, it would be time for the federal government to pursue responsibility , don't blame others.

"Are you threatening me?" Edmund Law's face was ugly, the governor should not be self-respecting.

"Your Excellency Governor, I still call you 'Your Excellency Governor'. I hope that what you do is worthy of the honor and responsibility that this position brings you." Rhodes Frank stood up and said goodbye. Governor Cape has great power, but But not the Department of Justice.

The work of the Ministry of Justice in Cape State does not need to look at anyone's face.

To put it bluntly, the staff of the Ministry of Justice also hope to cancel Cape Town's status as the judicial capital, so that the staff of the Ministry of Justice can live in a real big city like Pretoria.

Among other things, Pretoria is more than one grade higher than Cape Town in terms of environment, urban appearance, as well as medical and educational resources.

After Rhodes Frank left Edmund Law's office, Edmund Law remained silent in the office for a long time before calling his chief of staff, Christopher.

"If we use force against McClair, what are our chances of winning?" Although Edmund Law was unwilling, he had to face the reality.

If McClair's "civilians" really developed to the level of "rebels", Edmund Law would definitely be held accountable even if he spoke better than he sang.

Regardless of whether the federal government will hold Edmund Law accountable, the opposition parties in Cape State will not let Edmund Law go.

This is also the consequence of democratic politics. The ruling party faces not only enemies, but also supervision and constraints from the opposition party.

Supervision is of course good, but constraints are uncomfortable.

"The Progressive Party will not agree to the use of force against McClell—" Christopher rejected the results of Edmund Law's thinking all afternoon.

Although the Liberal Party represented by Edmund Law is currently in power in Cape State, the Progressive Party is still very powerful. According to Cape State’s state constitution, the Liberal Party with the most votes wins the ruling power in Cape State, and the votes are second. If there are more progressive parties, they automatically gain the right to dominate the state parliament.

Under this political framework, the power of the governor will be strongly restricted by the parliament. If the parliament disagrees with the governor's decision, the governor can only find ways to persuade the parliament, and cannot force the parliament to pass a resolution.

"Then what should we do? If the Progressive Party objects, let the Progressive Party negotiate with Galbraith." Edmund Law was furious. Facing his chief of staff, Edmund Law didn't need to hide.

"Your Excellency, it is the responsibility of the state government to negotiate with Galbraith—" Christopher's words made Edmund Law desperate. The state government can only talk about resolutely not allowing the fight. Who can I ask for reasoning?

Edmund Law is now suddenly envious of a governor like Anton. In Nyasaland, Anton performs the dual duties of the governor and the minister of the Marquis of Nyasaland. The state assembly cannot limit the power of the governor, even if the state The parliament and the state government have different opinions, and the state legislature has only supervision power.

"The best way we can do it now is to declare Cape State to be in a state of tension, so that we can bypass the parliament and solve McClair by force." Christopher took a slant, and the state government still has a way to bypass the parliament, but Once Edmund Law declared that Cape State was in a state of tension, the federal government would have an excuse to intervene in Cape State.

Don't forget that the federal government is also the legitimate government of Southern Africa.

"What I want to know now is how to solve McClell's crisis on the premise of rejecting the federal government!" Edmund Law was disappointed, and Christopher, the chief of staff, was not very qualified.

Christopher is also helpless, he wants to keep the federal government out of the door, and he wants to bypass the parliament, all the good things are done by you alone——

Edmund Law didn't seem to realize that the people who designed this regime in the first place were to prevent this from happening.

Within the political framework of democracy, the power of the individual is weakened without limit, unless someone is powerful enough to break the framework.

Edmund Law obviously did not have this ability.

"You can send someone to kill Galbraith directly—" Christopher couldn't think of a way, so he solved the person who caused the problem.

Edmund Law didn't say a word. Although it was a bit shameless to send someone to kill Galbraith, it was still a backup option.

The reason why it is a backup is because this plan is too risky.

Let alone whether Galbraith could be killed, even if it could be done, Edmund Law suspected that the rebels would continue to launch another Galbraith, which would not fundamentally solve the problem.

"Anderson, get me General MacKenzie—" Edmund Law couldn't just sit still and actively think of ways to solve the problem in order to get out of the predicament.

After Mackenzie received the call, he went directly to Edmund Law's mansion.

"Sending someone directly to kill Galbraith won't really solve this problem." Mackenzie's worry was the same as Edmund Law's.

"Maybe? We have to do something, or we'll just wait to live in the shadow of Nyasaland—" Edmund Law broke his boat. Although Nyasaland is far from the Cape, Nyasaland Saran's influence in Cape is not small.

There are also many Chinese living in Cape Town, and Oak Town is still a Chinese gathering area.
