Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1532 Whiteboard Labor Party
The media in southern Africa did not hype the news that Roque was about to run for the Liberal Party. The front pages of the newspapers were that King George V had appointed Ramsay Macdonald to form a cabinet.

As Rock "predicted", Ramsay MacDonald was ugly. Although Lloyd George hoped to form a coalition government with the Labor Party, Ramsay Macdonald, who was dazzled by the victory, rejected Lloyd. • George's proposal to form a minority government with members of the Labor Party.

As the cabinet members were gradually announced, the whole of the UK was surprised to find that the cabinet formed by Ramsay MacDonald was full of "strangers".

The Keeper of the Seal is J.R. Cleins, Philip Snowden is the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Arthur Henderson is the Home Secretary, and Ramsay Macdonald is the Foreign Secretary. .

The Prime Minister is also the Foreign Secretary!

It’s not that Britain can’t find someone suitable to serve as foreign minister, but Ramsay Macdonald decided to focus on European affairs. ", and mediate the issue of huge reparations since Germany's defeat.

Wait, the "Contract of Versailles" is the result of all the leaders of the victorious countries sitting together and discussing for more than half a year.

As a result, according to Ramsay Macdonald, the "Contract of Versailles" not only did not bring benefits to Britain, but brought countless evil consequences. Does this count as the complete overthrow of the Paris Peace Conference?

There is also the issue of German reparations. Probably Ramsay MacDonald thinks that he is smarter than the finance ministers of Britain, France, Italy, Japan, Belgium, Greece, Portugal, Romania, southern Africa, and the United States combined, so he thinks He could solve the German reparations problem.

Even if he has, it is not what a British prime minister should do if he focuses his work on the European continent instead of solving the thorny problems facing the country at home.

What's more, before Ramsay MacDonald came to power, he promised voters that he would increase the welfare of the British, improve the labor treatment of workers, reduce taxes to reduce the burden on enterprises, increase tariffs to protect British local enterprises, and so on. Now Ramsay MacDonald Donner seemed to have forgotten all about his promise.

Although Ramsay MacDonald had all kinds of unthinkable behaviors, the Federal Government of Southern Africa sent a congratulatory message to Ramsay MacDonald as usual, congratulating Ramsay MacDonald on being the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and Philip himself was going to go to London, for the inauguration of Ramsay Macdonald.

This time, there is no need to appoint Roque as the acting prime minister. Even if Philip is far away in London, he can still handle southern African government affairs through telegrams.

"You represent the Liberal Party in the general election, so what else should we choose? Let you be the prime minister directly—" Stoudemire came to Pretoria on his own initiative after knowing that Rock would run for the Liberal Party: "——If it is Philip is running for the Liberal Party, then I can still compete, but now it’s you, the election is just a formality, have you prepared your cabinet candidates yet?"

The rectification of the Progressive Party has given Stoudemire great confidence, and at the same time it has given Stoudemire an illusion that he has the strength to fight.

As a result, the Liberal Party launched Roque as a candidate, and Stoudemire immediately became rational.

Don't even think about winning, don't lose too much, Stoudemire will be very content.

"Not yet, do you want to be the Minister of Justice?" Rock did not give in. If Rock was humble at this time, he would be proud.

When Roque was not prime minister, keeping a low profile was waiting for an opportunity.

Now the opportunity has come, no matter how low-key it is, it is not in line with the strength of southern Africa.

People who are going to be the prime minister, be confident and get rid of the low-key.

"There was a conflict between you and Henry?" Stoudemire was surprised. The relationship between Rock and Henry was well known, and they were the best partners when they were in Cape Town.

"No, it has nothing to do with Henry. It's Henry himself who doesn't want to be the Minister of Justice anymore. He wants to go to the Communist Party." Rock had other arrangements for Henry.

After the establishment of the Federal Government of Southern Africa, Henry has been serving as the Minister of Justice. He is not outstanding in the position of Minister of Justice, but he has not made mistakes and is quite satisfactory.

Since the establishment of the federal government, only the Ministry of Justice led by Henry and the Ministry of Defense led by Roque have not changed their ministers. This situation is actually not good. Officials at the ministerial level cannot stay in one department for too long, otherwise it is easy to form Interest groups will become overwhelmed after a long time.

Although Roque has not yet served as the prime minister, it is only a matter of time. Henry has already talked to Roque, and it is Henry's own request to go to the Communist Party.

"I need time to think about it." Stoudemire didn't agree right away. His work in Cape Town has opened up the situation, and the Progressive Party has also returned to the right track under Stoudemire's rectification. Now Stoudemire does not want to leave Cape Town.

"It doesn't matter. Even if you want to go to the Ministry of Justice, you have to wait until next year." Rock is not in a hurry. There are a lot of people who have come to Rock to express their loyalty during this period. Smudge will also return to the hub.

In other words, after Roque became prime minister, the first thing to do was to strengthen the centralization of power and not allow the federal states to develop freely.

The current federal government is completely different from the situation when the federal government was first established. At that time, in order to take care of Cape and Orange, the political structure of the coexistence of three capitals was determined. To end this situation, the results were unsuccessful, and Rock must have done his best.

There are also problems with the state and county system of the federal government. The most prominent problem is that the state government has too much power, and some aspects can even compete with the federal government. This is the responsibility of Rock and Stoudemire. At that time, Rock was worried that the federal government would be affected. The influence of the Boers left a way out for Nyasaland and Rhodesia.

Now it seems that the Boers have been gradually marginalized, and the Chinese have become the main group in southern Africa. After Roque came to power, this situation will definitely end.

In short, Rock has a lot to do. Fortunately, Rock still has time and can adjust slowly.

"Locke, after you become the Prime Minister, will you increase the immigration of Chinese?" Stoudemire hesitated, his eyes dodged, and he did not dare to meet Rock's eyes.

It's finally here——

Rock knows that the question raised by Stoudemire is also a concern of many southern Africans.

After all, Roque is of Chinese descent. After becoming the prime minister, he is likely to increase the introduction of Chinese. Now the Chinese in southern Africa have already taken advantage of the group. If Roque increases immigration, let alone the Boers, the whites as a whole will be risk being marginalized.

"No, we still need to increase immigration, but the main goal is no longer farmers and workers, but to increase the introduction of high-quality talents. I know what you are worried about. Believe me, no matter what I do The first factor that plays a role in making a decision must be the interests of the federal government, not other reasons." Rock is serious, this question cannot be vague, or it may trigger a civil war in southern Africa.

This is really not an exaggeration. The immigration policy in southern Africa has been criticized for a long time. The rapid increase of Chinese has also aroused the concern of many white people.

Fortunately, in Nyasaland, where the Chinese population is an absolute majority, whites were not targeted and excluded. Even during the World War, Germans were not targeted, which largely eased many people's worries.

"I know, Locke, I have always trusted you, but you also know that Europe is in a mess now, the local Labor Party has come to power, the French Prime Minister has changed like a revolving lantern, the Russians are ready to move, the Americans are eyeing, and the Germans are clamoring. Revenge—Southern Africa may be the only pure land in the world—” Stoudemire has high expectations for Rock, as evidenced by Nyasaland.

It is recognized in southern Africa that Roque's greatest strength is that he is not extreme, and he can deal with issues fairly and calmly. Even when it comes to Chinese and white issues, Roque can be impartial.

This is very rare. When the Chinese flooded into southern Africa, many white people worried that once the Chinese gained a population advantage, they would start to retaliate against the white people.

Facts have proved that these things did not happen. The Chinese in southern Africa have proved that the Chinese are the best ethnic group to get along with. Whether in Cape Town or Pretoria, the security of the Chinese community is the best.

"So, you are worried that if I become prime minister, all white people will be expelled from Southern Africa?" Rock laughed. If that is the case, Rock will first expel his wife and Nasha from Southern Africa.

No way, although Arthur and Gavin are half Chinese, Phyllis and Ida are both standard white.

In other words, this is also the fundamental reason why Rock is widely accepted by southern Africans.

"Then what are you going to do?" Stoudemire was curious about Rock's policy agenda.

"Of course it is to lead southern Africa to a more brilliant tomorrow—" Roque doesn't have any policy agenda, and he hasn't even completed his own staff team yet.

Once the emperor and the courtiers, when Adelaide was the prime minister, most of the cabinet ministers were Adelaide's staff when he was the governor.

By the time Philip was prime minister, most of the cabinet members were under Philip when he was mayor of Johannesburg.

When Roque is prime minister, he must replace the cabinet members with his confidantes or friends. Stoudemire and Henry must be the core, Anton and Martin are also indispensable, plus Ida, Douglas, and Yang Smotz , the new cabinet candidates will be ready.

Oh, almost forgot Buck and Owen, these two will definitely enter the cabinet.

In this way, southern Africa is also full of talents, at least it is much better than the Labor Party that has just come to power and lacks governance experience.
