Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1544 There are plenty of opportunities

Entering the 100-day countdown, some changes have quietly taken place in southern Africa, and preparations have begun for the handover of power 100 days later.

First of all, Ada finally resigned from the position of president of Rand Bank. The person who replaced Ada was Scarlett, who used to be Rock's secretary. Scarlett had been working in Rand Bank for these years. She did not remarry, and became the same as Ida Representation of independent women in Southern Africa.

Cape State held the governor election in advance, and the person who succeeded Stoudemire as the governor of Cape was Robert Nancy, the vice president of the Progressive Party.

Orange State also held a governor election, and Yang Smozi was re-elected. He rejected Rock's invitation and did not want to join the new cabinet, hoping to continue serving Orange State.

In other words, continue to fight for the interests of the Boers.

Rock has nothing to do with this. Yang Smolts has the ability, but it is not indispensable. Rock's cabinet is full of talents. important position.

On Rock's side, the most important Minister of Finance must still be Ada, and Martin will be the Minister of Defense. Stoudemire has agreed to be the Minister of Justice. Like Smoltz, he did not want to leave Nyasaland.

As for other culture, education, health, industry, agriculture, commerce, transportation, post and telecommunications, and resource construction, Roque also has suitable candidates. Generally speaking, when the candidates for Roque's cabinet are announced, they may become the youngest in the world's major powers. If there is no accident, it should not be a problem to maintain this cabinet for 20 years.

Although the power has not been handed over yet, the documents that Philip needs to be reviewed by the Palace of Justice will also be sent to Roque for understanding. This is to ensure the smooth operation of the power transfer, so that Roque can enter the state as quickly as possible after taking over as prime minister.

As a result, Rock's workload increased greatly, and he didn't even have time to go fishing with Kitchener, which made Kitchener very dissatisfied.

"Boy, when you become the prime minister, you forget about us old guys? Don't forget that I am still the governor of southern Africa. You, the prime minister, have to report to me as the governor every day." Kitchener sneered. Therefore, even if Rock ignores Kitchener, it will not affect Rock's admission to the Palace of Justice.

"Marshal, I'm going to set up a club for retired prime ministers. Do you want to join?" Rock is not so ungrateful. After Philip retired, plus Kitchener and Adelaide, three people have been assembled, and they have nothing to do together to fight the landlord excellent.

"What do you mean?" Kitchener was really flustered and was very interested in Rock's suggestion.

"It's a special organization that only belongs to you, Lord Halewood, and Lord Matilda. It supervises the operation of the federal government and provides reference for the policies of the federal government. If you have nothing to do, you can go around the country. You don't have to travel around the world. Question——" Rock's design for the three old men was pretty good, but it's a pity that Kitchina didn't appreciate it.

"That is to say, three consultants for free, and traveling around the world-do you want to kick us away?" Kitchina's nose is not a nose and eyes are not eyes, anyway, he is just finding fault.

Rock didn't speak, and focused on stroking Brownie lying on his lap.

Brownie is a cat. Kitchener picked it up when he was fishing again. Kitchener named it "Browny", which means the elf in Scottish legend.

It may be because Rock has come to the Governor's Mansion too many times. Brownie is obviously closer to Rock than to Kitchener. As long as Rock is in the Governor's Mansion, Brownie always tries to lie on Rock's lap, completely ignoring I already weighed more than ten kilograms.

For a cat, the weight of ten kilograms is really too fat, and it is also to blame for the good food in the Governor's Mansion. Kitchener brought Brownie back to the Governor's Mansion, and originally wanted Brownie to be the catcher of the Governor's Mansion. Rat officer, it's a pity that the fish in the fish pond of the Governor's Mansion are easier to catch than the mice. Even if the mice pass by Brownie, Brownie always turns a blind eye.

"Why don't you let it lose weight, it's not good for its body to be so fat—" Rock answered irrelevantly, some words can't be too clear, otherwise it will be very hurtful.

Asking is to make use of the waste heat.

"Aren't all cats so fat?" Kitchina was successfully led astray by Rock. Kitchina, who was born as a cavalryman, has raised horses all his life and has no normal concept of the size of cats.

"Brownie is too fat, he needs to exercise more, and he has to go on a diet to lose weight, otherwise it will affect his lifespan." God testified, Rock really didn't mean anything else.

But it means that the speaker has no intention and the listener has the heart.

"Are you talking about me?" Kitchener asked sensitively.

"Get up! Fat cat! Go catch the mouse—" Rock grabbed Brownie's head and rubbed Brownie awake.

Brownie didn't resist, turned over on Rock's lap, exposed her belly generously, and licked her tongue twice on Rock's hand perfunctorily.

"If Prime Minister Baldwin tries to put pressure on southern Africa and transfer the pressure from the British government to southern Africa, what do you want me to do then?" Roque actually didn't want to ask this question, which is very difficult for Kitchener choose.

Sure enough, after Roque finished asking, Kitchener fell into a long silence.

"If a world war breaks out again, will southern Africa fight side by side with the British Empire like in the last world war?" Kitchener also answered irrelevant questions.

"Of course!" Rock did not hesitate, but this answer was not the only one.

If the world war breaks out again, and the trend is exactly the same as another time and space, then southern Africa will definitely join the Allies and complete the gorgeous turn from the British Overseas Dominion to replace the United Kingdom.

But the problem is that the situation in this time and space is completely different from that in another time and space. Southern Africa in another time and space had almost no sense of existence during World War II. In this time and space, southern Africa has become a global superpower comparable to the United States.

So Rock is not sure now, whether Mustache dares to launch World War II brazenly like in another time and space.

Mustache is crazy, but not stupid. Mustache will definitely not start a war that has no hope of winning.

But not necessarily, some people cannot be measured by common sense, and the mustache is a typical example.

In another time and space, few people believed that Mustache dared to start a world war. After Neville negotiated with Mustache, he returned to England and said, "I have brought peace to our generation", even if Mustache's ambition It has been difficult to contain, and Britain and France also hope that the disaster will be diverted to the north, so that Mustache will attack the European steamroller. Even after Mustache and Big Beard signed the "Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact", Britain and France still have illusions about Mustache.

However, this still cannot explain why the Germans ignore the great strength of the United States.

It wasn't until Roque met Hermann Göring that Roque was sure of the role of the United States during the period when Mustache's ambitions swelled.

You can understand it if you think about it. Before Germany launched World War II, the United States invested tens of billions of dollars in Germany, and Germany signed the "Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact" with the Soviet Union. The two most powerful countries at that time were defeated The beard is done, and only the British Empire, which is strong from the outside, and France, whose backbone was broken in World War I, is left. If Roque is a mustache, Roque's ambition will also expand.

"Then do as you think—you are the Prime Minister of Southern Africa—not the British Prime Minister—" Kitchener had pain in his eyes, and he now had to admit that the status of Southern Africa and the British Empire was being reversed.

In other words, the reversal has been completed.

This result is not what Kitchener wants to see, but Kitchener now has to face the reality.

Rock smiled, this answer was also what Rock wanted.

Back at the Ministry of National Defense, more and more people came to visit Roque every day. Members of Congress from different factions all hoped to meet with Roque and increase their understanding of Roque.

The governors of various states have come to Pretoria a lot in recent times. Roque has said on different occasions that after becoming prime minister, he will adjust the administrative divisions of southern Africa. Some states with larger areas may It will be split into several smaller states, which is more conducive to the concentration of power in the federal government.

This decision makes many people restless. There are big problems with the administrative division of southern Africa. Rhodesia and Victoria, which are relatively large in area, have a total area of ​​more than 100 million square kilometers. Basutoland and Swaziland, which are smaller in area, The total area is only tens of thousands of square kilometers, which is not even as good as a county with a relatively large area.

This situation is bound to change. According to the provisions of the League of Nations, the area of ​​a large country is between 50 and 100 million square kilometers, and the area of ​​a super-large country is 100 million to 500 million square kilometers. Victoria can be regarded as a super-large country. The four states of Nyasaland, Cape, Dias, and Bechuanaland are large countries. Ke can also accept.

This calculation is very impressive. Southern Africa is now 600 million square kilometers. According to Roque's thinking, it must be split into at least 20 states to ensure the unimpeded flow of federal government orders.

Regarding this decision, some people have a lot of worries, but some people are secretly gearing up.

Among other things, if the 11 states in southern Africa are split into 20, it means that there will be nine more state governments, nine more state councils, and nine sets of related functional departments out of thin air.

As a result, many people who are interested in politics, but cannot get enough support in their respective states due to lack of influence, will have a bright future in an instant.

For these people, the most important thing now is to get Rock's support, so that they can take the lead when the opportunity comes.
