Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1543 Countdown 100 Day

Of course, the cleaning operations in southern Africa are different from the cleaning operations in the general sense. If this is done in other countries, it is likely to be the same as the massacre in concentration camps, but not in southern Africa.

There are many Germans and Austrians living in southern Africa. Although some of them have bad intentions, most of them still keep their own place. There are mature German and Austrian communities in Los Angeles. It is unrealistic to drive all these people out of southern Africa.

Rock's approach is to treat them differently. Ted Bach, who committed suicide by taking poison, did not know how long he had been lurking before he got a chance to get close to Rock. This also sounded the alarm for the Ministry of Defense and Brad's office. Staff review will become more stringent.

On October 10, Roque returned to Pretoria, and Philip also arrived in Southern Africa on the same day, less than 20 days before the handover ceremony of the prime minister.

"London's winter is terrible, smog, dust, votes, no-confidence motion - Prime Minister Baldwin hopes you can visit London as soon as possible, when are you going?" Philip conveyed the message of the new British Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin to Rock. Invitation, if the new Prime Minister of Southern Africa wants to visit abroad, the first stop must be the United Kingdom.

"You said it all, the winter in London is so bad, I'll wait a while before going." Rock is not in a hurry, the UK will definitely go, but southern Africa is so far away from Europe, so we should go as many as possible in one trip Countries, France is definitely going, Germany depends on the situation, it is necessary to detour to the United States.

Although Americans don't like Rock.

Just two months ago, the United States also held a national election for the 36th president. Hoover failed to defeat the fellow Republican candidate John Calvin Coolidge this time, and left the White House sadly.

Unlike the uncontroversial general elections in southern Africa, Coolidge won this time very thrillingly. He and Hoover had a total of 103 rounds of voting in the party's primary election. Neither of them could get a majority, and they had to choose A compromise plan, with Coolidge and Hoover jointly running for the election, because Coolidge has slightly higher support in the Republican Party than Hoover, so Coolidge is the main candidate.

In an accident after Coolidge's victory, his youngest son, Calvin, suffered a blister while playing tennis at the White House, and died of an infection in the wound.

A small blister actually caused a wound infection and died of illness. This is still in the White House in the United States, which is really unimaginable.

The last time Rock went to the United States, he met Coolidge, but they didn't have a close relationship.

However, Roque has a good relationship with Hoover. I believe that after Roque takes office, the relationship between southern Africa and the United States should ease and will not be as tense as it is now.

"The current situation in London is not very good. The situation facing Prime Minister Baldwin is very serious. He will definitely make some excessive demands. You have to be prepared." Philip reminded Rock, it seems that he is in London during this period, and he will also Encountered a similar situation.

The current situation in the UK is indeed very bad. The cabinet was dissolved twice within a year, which brought huge uncertainty to British politics.

Although in this general election, the Conservative Party regained the majority, the situation facing Stanley Baldwin is very severe.

Regardless of the fact that Ramsay MacDonald has not been prime minister for a long time, he has left Stanley Baldwin with a lot of trouble.

Ramsay Macdonald used his prime ministerial powers to pass welfare policies, though never a single proposal passed the House of Commons during his tenure, which included more than half a million council houses for low-income families , It also stipulates that the working hours of women and children will be reduced from 50 hours to 54 hours a week, and an additional subsidy of 48 pounds per person will be won for British veterans.

These benefits were Ramsay Macdonald's greatest achievement and at the same time Stanley Baldwin's greatest trouble.

When the Labor Party was on stage, although it did not perform well, it actually fought for welfare for the British.

Now that the Conservatives are back in power, if Stanley Baldwin does not continue the policies of Ramsay Macdonald, the Conservatives will lose their hard-won advantages.

However, increasing the welfare of ordinary people will bring a heavier burden to the British government and British companies. Therefore, the biggest trouble for Stanley Baldwin now is how to satisfy the growing British people's demands without arousing strong opposition from domestic capitalists. Increased welfare claims.

Looking at it this way, the answer is almost ready to come out. If you want to stabilize the domestic situation, you can only transfer the domestic conflicts to the colonies or overseas dominions.

Southern Africa became the best choice.

"I know, but the Prime Minister will probably be disappointed. Southern Africa will not pay for Britain's mistakes." Rock has a bottom line, so he can talk and negotiate, and he can talk about anything.

If Stanley Baldwin wants to squeeze Southern Africa in the name of the suzerain—

Sorry about that, Southern Africa is not a non-violent non-cooperative India.

By the way, there is also India, which is again the "political legacy" left by Ramsay McDonald to Stanley Baldwin.

During the World War, in order to obtain the full support of India, the British government promised to give it the same self-government status as India and other overseas dominions after the war.

As a result, after the war, the British government turned its face and ruthlessly overturned all its previous promises. India is still the same India, and its status in the Commonwealth has not changed.

For this result, the Indian princes and nobles are obviously unacceptable. They have been demanding negotiations with the British government, hoping that the British government will fulfill its promise.

Neither Winston nor Stanley Baldwin turned a blind eye to the demands of the Indians before.

But when it comes to Ramsey McDonald, the prime minister who is also the foreign minister and focuses on Europe has given the Indians another promise, willing to start negotiations with the Indians at the right time.

Now, the Indians, who are almost giving up, see hope again. If Stanley Baldwin overthrows Ramsey McDonald's promise again, how long can the patience of the Indians last?

Not to mention whether the Indians can bear it. As a powerful "empire on which the sun never sets", it has been going back and forth like this, and it will cause irreparable damage to the national image of the British Empire. This loss cannot be quantified.

"It's good that you are prepared. I will go to Johannesburg for vacation in a few days. Are the children okay?" Philip's term of office is less than 100 days, and now Philip has accepted the reality, as long as he spends these 100 days safely , Philip was content.

"It's good, but Phyllis is still bitter about Gavin's choice of biology." Rock is also willing to chat with Philip about some family issues. After leaving the Palace of Justice, Philip's life will return to his family, and it's time to enjoy it The family is happy, and I can't go fishing every day like Kitchener.

Back at the Ministry of National Defense, Martin brought over a list. All the people on the list were considered to be reassessed. Before passing the assessment, they would be transferred to remote areas or serve overseas.

It is said to be an assessment, but in fact, if there is no accident, it will be difficult for the people on the list to return to Pretoria unless they have made great achievements.

"Has everything been reviewed?" Rock looked through the list with a heavy heart.

There is a thick stack of lists, with a total of 107 people, and their resumes are included in the documents. Many of them have worked in the Ministry of Defense for many years, and some have even won national honors at the medal level.

"Yes, all of them have been reviewed. Most of them will report to the League of Nations. Angie's term of office is coming to an end. Do you want to transfer Patton back?" Martin is Rock's appointed Minister of Defense, which is different from other positions. The position of Minister of Defense is too important, and Roque must firmly control it in his own hands before he can rest assured.

Martin is one of Rock's earliest older brothers, and Rock still trusts Martin very much.

After Roque enters the Palace of Justice, he will adjust the chief officers of each unit. Angie has already decided to leave the League of Nations peacekeeping force. Angie will be replaced by the French general Charles Manking who performed well in the Second Battle of the Marne.

Like An Qi, Barton is also a confidant brought out by Rock.

During his time in the Atlantic Fleet, Patton performed well. He not only withstood the pressure of the United States, led the Atlantic Fleet to gain a firm foothold in Halifax, but also cooperated deeply with the Canadian government, helping the Canadian government form an air force, train troops, and obtain the Canadian Government trust.

Although Rock's trust in Martin has not diminished since then, relatively speaking, Rock still trusts Angie and Button brought out by himself.

Compared with Martin, who became a monk halfway through, An Qi and Patton both received systematic education. In the past few years in the League of Nations and the Atlantic Fleet, Angie and Patton have grown rapidly and have the ability to be independent. Although they are still a bit young, However, with Roque's jewels in front, even if he is transferred back to the Ministry of Defense to take up an important position, it will not cause too much controversy.

It can't be said that they are young. Angie and Patton are both in their 30s now. It's time to add more burdens to pick up the big beams. At their age, Roque had already served as the Minister of Defense of Southern Africa.

"Of course, the Joint Command will be established soon, and both Patton and An Qi will be transferred back—" Rock directly signed the document, and he had a plan for the next adjustment.

Rock could not discuss these things with Martin. Although Rock trusted Martin, after Rock left the Ministry of Defense, he had to disperse the power in the hands of the Minister of Defense.

When Roque was the Minister of Defense, the power in the hands of the Minister of Defense was too great. To put it bluntly, even if Roque wanted to rebel, the Prime Minister had no ability to resist.

After Roque became Prime Minister, he would definitely not allow this situation to continue to exist. Bringing Angie and Barton back was also to strengthen the control of the Ministry of Defense and disperse the power in Martin's hands. Martin knew this well.

And also acceptable.
