Chapter 1742 Absurd
When the Conservative Party was in power, Stanley Baldwin wanted to improve Britain's electricity supply, but was criticized by the Labor Party as serving the monopoly class and not paying attention to the interests of the people.

So Stanley Baldwin wanted to give the people more benefits, but was criticized by the Labor Party as using policies to buy votes.

Stanley Baldwin was helpless, so he decided to disarm. This was what Ramsay MacDonald promised in front of dozens of countries in the League of Nations when he was prime minister. Is there any problem with this?
Stanley Baldwin is still naive, the Labor Party can disarm, but the Conservative Party disarms that means not paying attention to national defense and self-destructing the Great Wall——

The bottom line is that as long as the ruling party is Conservative, it would be wrong for Stanley Baldwin to take a breather.

Now it's the Labor Party's turn to be in power, and Ramsay MacDonald wants Conservative MPs to support the Labor Party, saying that paranoia is mild.

"Our Prime Minister approached me a few days ago, hoping that I can communicate with Southern Africa on behalf of the Labor Party cabinet. If I agree, then I can enter the cabinet and serve as a minister regardless of the ministry—" Austin laughed loudly, regardless of the position of minister It has become a panacea, used to appease Winston when the Conservative Party was in power, and now the Labor Party uses it to appease Austin.

Don't underestimate the influence of the Chamberlain family in British politics.

Speaking of influence, when the Conservative Party was in power, Austin was the British Foreign Minister, and his younger brother Neville was the British Chancellor of the Exchequer. The influence of these two brothers does not need to be added together, and they are even greater than Winston, a loner.

Probably this appointment was a bit funny. As soon as Austin finished speaking, there was loud laughter from the Privy Councilor's office. Even the glass on the window was shaking, expressing his happy mood.

"You still have people looking for it, but I don't care about it—" Neville seemed lonely and laughed at himself, and his laughter immediately increased by an order of magnitude.

"The Labor Party is crazy to find you, to find you to be a mole?" Stanley Baldwin knew the relationship between Neville and Rock.

Ramsay McDonald also knew the relationship between Neville and Roque, not only Neville, but also Winston. Even if Ramsay McDonald went to ask George V, he would not find Neville and Winston. ston.

The interest entanglement is too deep. Neville and Winston represent the Chamberlain family and the Duke of Marlborough respectively, so Neville and Winston have shares in many southern African companies.

Under normal circumstances, Neville and Winston would of course safeguard British interests.

There are even times when Neville and Winston are between southern Africa and the British Empire, leaning towards the British Empire.

But when there is a serious conflict between the interests of the British mainland and southern Africa, don't expect Neville and Winston to be resolute, it's not bad if they don't help each other.

"I think we should be proactive -" Neville was unwilling to be sidelined.

After the collective resignation of the cabinet, Neville is still a member of the British Parliament. Although the status of a member of parliament is already unattainable for ordinary people in the UK, compared with the chancellor of the exchequer——

Neville doesn't think he's any worse than Philip Snowden.

"How to say?" Stanley Baldwin was not reconciled to dying in the Privy Council, he was not old yet, and he was still able to fight.

"The Labor Party can impeach us, and we can also impeach the Labor Party. If the Labor Party cannot reverse the situation in a short period of time, then our chance has come—" Neville knows that the British people's tolerance for the British government is getting worse and worse. Let alone turning the situation around, under the leadership of the Labor Party, it would be good if the situation did not continue to deteriorate.

"Be a little patient with Neville, we have to wait for the opportunity now-" Austin is patient, the Conservative Party does not need to take the initiative, and the Labor Party will make mistakes.

The Labor Party is indeed making mistakes. Southern Africa refuses to comply, and the Labor Party has taken its idea to other overseas colonies and dominions.

Mainly Canada, Australia, and India.

Unlike the severe drought in southern Africa in the past two years, Canada has had a bumper harvest of wheat in the past two years. I thought it would be a good year if I harvested three to five buckets more in the bumper year. Unexpectedly, the economic crisis broke out. No one cares about Canada’s wheat. The Labor Party hopes that Canada can supply wheat to the British mainland at a more favorable price.

This idea is good. If you refer to the "Price Guarantee System" in southern Africa, it will be a win-win situation for Canada and the United Kingdom.

The problem is that the price given by the Labor Party cabinet directly breaks the cost price of Canadian farmers, plus shipping costs, Canada is not profitable at all.

So Canada took a fierce attitude, claiming that even if it poured wheat into the Atlantic Ocean, it would not be cheap for shameless businessmen.

Read as Shameless Merchant, write as British Empire.

For Australia, the Labor Party government asked the Australian federal government to take back the iron ore mining rights in Western Australia, and then hand over the iron ore mining rights to the British government to ease the financial pressure on the British government.

Australia also directly rejected this request.

The reason is also sufficient. Australia has granted all the iron ore mining rights in Western Australia to the Southern African Energy Company jointly established by Nyasaland and Rhodesia. The Australian federal government has no right to interfere with the decision of the Western Australian state government.

This is really no excuse. The organizational structure of the Australian federal government is looser than that of southern Africa.

Today's Australia is like a miniature version of the Commonwealth of Nations. The state governments have relatively large autonomy. Not only can they directly decide the development of domestic resources, but they can also sign contracts with foreign governments, and the federal government has no right to interfere.

Finally there is India.

Unlike Canada and Australia, although India is not a dominion, its resistance to the British Empire is more serious.

India, like southern Africa, suffered from a severe drought last year.

Not only did the British government not give India the help it deserved, but it also increased its pressure on India. This directly led to the extreme aversion of Indians towards the British Empire. At the end of last year, anti-British movements broke out in many places in India, and some areas even broke The restrictions on "non-violent non-cooperation" were imposed and armed resistance to British colonial rule.

After the Labor Party came to power, in addition to conventional supplies, it asked India to provide more beef, which led to an unprecedented climax of anti-British sentiment in India.

As mentioned above, cows have a high status in India. According to legend, cows are the mounts of the Indian god Shiva, so cows are regarded as sacred animals in India.

It’s okay to search for some rice and onions, but now the British Empire has started to play the idea of ​​​​"sacred beasts", which makes it unacceptable for Hindu believers.

On August 8, demonstrations against British colonial rule broke out in New Delhi, the capital of India.

The Governor-General in India, Edward Owen, brutally suppressed the demonstrations according to the powers granted to the Governor by the Special Act of 1919. Hundreds of people died and thousands of people were imprisoned. Even Gandhi, who had just been released from prison, was arrested and imprisoned again.

On March 1919, 3, the British judge Rowlatt formulated a special bill, which gave the governor special powers to arrest, search, and imprison without trial those who were suspected of subversion. Lawyers defend.

This bill is a bit overbearing. It does not require evidence, does not require interrogation, and even lawyers are not allowed. You can go to prison directly if you only need to suspect. The governor must have the final say on sentencing. This is the real British democracy.

It is said that Gandhi was arrested and imprisoned five years ago for leading non-violent non-cooperation and sentenced to six years in prison.

After all, Gandhi was a Mahatma, and he was released after only two years in prison. There is no known PY transaction involved.

This time Gandhi was arrested again, and he was also thrown into prison without trial.

The good news is that Gandhi was only sentenced to five years this time. Referring to the previous experience, he should be released in less than two years.

Based on the complete failure of a series of measures after the Labor Party came to power, on September 9, the British House of Commons launched the first impeachment against the Labor Party government.

When the news spread to southern Africa, Rock was dumbfounded.

What has happened to the British government in the past two years? In the past, the British government always laughed at the rapid changes in the French political arena. Now it seems that the British have a tendency to outperform the blue.

Poengale said that you should stop talking, I am in a panic now, and I don't know how long I can be the prime minister.

"Stop laughing at the British, we are in trouble now—" Buck came to Rock immediately.

"What?" Rock didn't know what happened yet.

Unlike the United Kingdom and France, the Southern African Congress has always been relatively at ease. Since Adelaide was prime minister, he has not had much sense of presence. The will of the Justice Palace has been implemented to the greatest extent. This is also the basis for southern Africa to maintain stability.

When Philip was prime minister, Congress was out of interest, and the relationship with the Palace of Justice was once antagonistic.

When Roque entered the Palace of Justice, the Southern African Congress was completely reduced to a vassal of the Palace of Justice. There is a fact that can prove: after Roque entered the Palace of Justice, Congress has never rejected the decision of the Palace of Justice, and every time it is a Basically, no MPs opposed the proposal, and even very few abstained from voting.

So Rock really didn't know what trouble Buck was talking about.

"It's not against you, but against the Liberal Party—" Barker had a complicated expression, and it was hard to say.

"What do you mean, someone is dissatisfied with our Liberal Party?" Roque has mixed feelings. The Liberal Party was founded by Roque and Stoudemire. Although the Liberal Party has been in power in southern Africa these years, Roque is confident that every decision made by the Liberal Party is Based on the interests of Southern Africa.

To put it bluntly, compared with European and American political parties, the Southern African Liberal Party has almost reached the extreme. No one knows the Southern African Liberal Party better than Roque.

"It's not dissatisfaction, it's—" Buck didn't know how to describe it, and he hesitated after thinking for a while: "—some people think that although the Liberal Party has performed well, why can't others try it? better--"

"What did you say?" Rock was in disbelief, suspecting that he had heard it wrong.

Buck spread his hands, and he also suspected, what did this damn think to say such a thing.

ps: This chapter is an update for Brother Du Majin. I will continue to see if I can do another update in the early hours of the morning to strive for a guarantee for the next month-although I can’t make it to the monthly ticket list, but the data is better. Let’s talk about someone It's also about face——
