Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1800 Hurry up or be late

Rock certainly wouldn't be going to London at this time, and he might be detained, and that would be a big joke.

Even if not, all kinds of cynicism will definitely not be less. Considering that during the World War, Kitchener had to go to Congress to report every week, stating in detail what he did this week. Rock did not want to be insulted like this .

Moreover, the brain circuit of the British is really weird. With the degree of penetration of the UK by Germany, wouldn't it really not leak secrets by doing this?
The British are a little too confident.

Like Francois, Rock ignored the request of the British Parliament. Although Andy was indeed a bit too much, the starting point was always good. Rock directly recalled Andy to southern Africa to protect Andy.

Also out of protection for Andy, Rock wants to put Andy on hold for a while before reactivating it. Winston will leave southern Africa in the next two days, and Rock still needs to communicate with Winston about some issues.

To be honest, Rock didn't pay much attention to Ramsey McDonald, Stanley Baldwin, or even Neville.

Only Winston, Rock has to pay attention to, which is the real reason why Rock is not afraid of offending Stanley Baldwin and the House of Commons.

"I have been away from London for too long, so long that I have been forgotten, and if I don't return to London, I am afraid that I will also become a southern African—" Winston finally couldn't help revealing his true feelings before leaving.

This can’t be blamed on Winston’s change of mind. Southern Africa is so attractive. Its rich resources, vast land, beautiful environment, and developed economy are already bad stalks. The key is to stay away from the European continent. Attacks are also less likely.

Moreover, Southern Africa is tolerant enough. Whether it is Boers, Germans, Ottomans, or Americans, they will not be discriminated against in Southern Africa. This is very rare in 1929, very rare, and rare. If you go to southern Africa, you don't want to leave. Even if you are as determined as Winston, you will inevitably be shaken.

Speaking of firmness of mind, which one of Kitchener, Ade, Jan Smother, and even Philip is not firm in mind.

They have all become standard southern Africans now.

"What's so bad about being a Southern African?" After all, Rock couldn't help but ask to keep Winston. This was the first time Rock kept Winston.

Possibly the last time too.

"Of course it's very good. Southern Africa is very good, very good—" Winston leaned back in his chair, with a cigar in his hand and a gentle expression on his face: "—a long time ago, my grandfather, the Duke of Marlborough, Appointed Governor of Ireland, my father went to Ireland as Secretary, and I came with my father to Ireland—”

This may be the first time Winston has taken the initiative to talk to Rock about his family.

Maybe it has happened before, but the impression on Rock will definitely not be as deep as it is now.

"——I was born with a naughty nature since I was a child, and I couldn't even learn the most basic mathematics and Latin. What I feared most at that time was the exam——I liked to collect toy soldiers at that time. I had a lot of toy soldiers, about 1500 , Later my father sent me to Sandhurst Royal Military Academy to study, I became a soldier, I always thought that my father sent me to the military school because of my own hobbies. He sent me to military school because he knew I couldn't be an excellent lawyer, so he could only do that, you may not know, I took the exam three times before I was admitted to the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst." Wen Ston's expression was deep, with tears in the corners of his eyes.

"Then you are miserable. I only got a letter of recommendation, and then I went to Sandhurst Royal Military Academy, and I was studying a crash course for senior officers—" Rock laughed loudly, which caused Winston to complain. glare.

It took a lot of effort to accumulate a little sad atmosphere, which was swept away by Rock.

But Winston only stared at Roque for a second, and then laughed with Roque, almost to tears.

After laughing, Winston's expression was obviously much more vivid: "—in Ireland, I spent the happiest time before I was an adult, and when I became an adult, all that disappeared, until I came to the south Africa--"

Winston turned his head to look at Rock at this time, his eyes were extremely sincere: "——The time in southern Africa was the happiest period of my adult life. Worrying about the family honor of the Duke of Marlborough, and not worrying about the United Kingdom—”

Winston's expression gradually became serious, and the determined Winston came back again: "—but after all, I am an Englishman first, and then your friend Winston—Locke, you can understand my feelings for the United Kingdom." Feelings?"

Rock also had a serious expression on his face. During the time Winston was in southern Africa, he never mentioned this issue with Rock.

After all, it is still unavoidable, and what should come will come sooner or later.

Rock didn't answer, but tried to smile and nodded slightly.

"That's good, that's good—" Winston finally breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but pat Rock's leg with his hand clamped on the cigar.

Rock's eyebrows couldn't help twitching, he still wasn't used to Western-style physical contact.

"I have been the Governor of Southern Africa for such a long time, and now I dare to say that no one in the UK understands Southern Africa better than me. Members of Congress can at most see that Southern Africa is getting stronger and stronger from various statistics, but The change in mentality of the southern Africans cannot be reflected in the data. This is a serious mistake. The United Kingdom has lost the United States, but has not learned from it. Therefore, the United Kingdom cannot lose southern Africa again—” Winston The voice is low, the kind that lingers in the ear, very heartfelt and emotional.

If Roque hadn't known the nature of the corrupt country, Roque would have almost believed it.

How to say the British Empire, if anyone believes in the British Empire, sooner or later they will be killed by the British Empire.

India is a good example. During the World War, India was promised that as long as it fully supported the British Empire, it would give India an autonomous status after the war.

As a result, after the war, the Indians went to London to ask for self-government status, but Stanley Baldwin said it was just a British joke.

The same is true for France. Before the outbreak of the World War, the British and French allies were deeply in love with each other. As a result, when Roque took over Haig's position, the first telegram sent by Kitchener was to ask Roque to do well in the event of an unfavorable war. Under such circumstances, directly lead the British Expeditionary Force to prepare for the withdrawal of the British mainland.

Thinking about it this way, there should be an inside story behind the Dunkirk evacuation——

"Locke, I need your help now, help me to return to London, I will effectively improve the relationship between London and Pretoria, give southern Africa a real equal status, and achieve a real unity of the Commonwealth, which requires All of us work together, and it is also the common appeal of all of us." Winston really has a purpose, and he will return to London this time, and he will definitely not be reconciled to being a minister regardless of the ministry.

Rock was silent for a while, and did not immediately agree to Winston's request.

God knows how anxious and tormented Winston was during the few seconds of Rock's silence.

Fortunately, Rock did not disappoint Winston after all: "Of course, Winston, no matter what time it is, I will support you without reservation."

This promise can be regarded as ten thousand gold for Winston.

Winston said nothing at this moment, got up and gave Rock a big hug.

With the support of southern Africa, Ramsey McDonald and Stanley Baldwin are all chickens and dogs in front of Winston.

Oh oh oh, of course there is also Neville who is about to move, don't look at Neville's role in many roles, if Neville takes the stage, then Neville will give Southern Africa a lot of rewards.

Maybe there will be more.

So Rock will definitely support Winston, but he will also support Neville at the same time. Adults never make choices, of course they bet on both sides.

On November 11, Winston left southern Africa and returned to London.

At this time, Winston was still the Governor of Southern Africa, so London did not appoint a new Governor of Southern Africa.

Rock was also polite, and directly invited Kitchener and Ade back to the Governor's Mansion opposite the Palace of Justice. When the new Governor came, they would be resettled again. Brownie finally returned to its most familiar environment.

Also on November 11, George V instructed the Conservative Party to reorganize the cabinet in view of Ramsay Macdonald's continued coma and his inability to continue serving as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

When Rock heard the news, he could only lament Winston's fate.

In order to return to England as quickly as possible, Winston did not take a boat, but returned to London by plane.

But no matter how fast the plane was, it was not as fast as George V's. As soon as Winston's plane landed in Cairo, the candidates for the new British Prime Minister had already been settled. Neville stood out from the few candidates. Become the new British Prime Minister.

I don't know what Winston will feel when he knows the news.

However, Neville's election as Prime Minister is not bad for Winston. At least the relationship between Neville and Winston is much better than that between Ramsay McDonald and Winston.

Ramsay MacDonald was from the Labor Party. Although Winston had left the Conservative Party, he was still a member of the aristocracy, and he was naturally opposed to the Labor Party.

Neville was elected as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and the Federal Government of Southern Africa naturally had to adjust its relationship with the United Kingdom.

Others don't know, but Roque must know Neville's true face. Regardless of his tough mouth, this guy is actually the famous "appeasement" in modern history. If Winston came to power, World War II would Maybe it won't explode.

Again, the study of history cannot be separated from the historical environment at that time.

Neville, who upholds the "appeasement doctrine", has now come to power, and the next one to change should be the King of England.

If there is no accident, the next British king should be the Duke of Windsor who loves beauty but not country.
