Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 412 Lost Contact

In mid-April, Rock finally returned to Johannesburg.

At this time, it has been less than four months since the general election in Johannesburg, and Roque's return is just in time.

Phyllis is finally pregnant, and the first thing Rock and Phyllis do when they return to Johannesburg is to go to Philip's for dinner.

Philip and Owen should have known about Arthur's existence, but his attitude was so upright that he didn't even mention it, but Henry looked at Rock a little furiously.

Rock knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't play tricks with Henry. After dinner, he invited Henry and Owen to drink together.

Henry and Owen still gave face, and the three of them wandered to the Russell bar next to the police station without any entourage.

I haven’t been here for half a year, but the business of Russell’s Bar is getting more and more prosperous. The Crocodile Bay Hydropower Station is finally able to provide more electricity to Johannesburg. Russell’s Cafe now also uses electric lights, but the voltage of the lights is not stable enough, and the lights flicker on and off. It is a bit dazzling, which is very suitable for use in a tavern.

Russell Bar is also learning from Oak Bar. There is also a band playing in the bar. On the small stage next to it, a girl with a graceful figure is dancing around a pole. Alcoholics are cheering around the small stage. very.

Rock and the others didn't join in the fun on the first floor, and went directly to the second floor to lie on the railing and ask for a bottle of beer to drink slowly.

"Don't talk to me, I really want to beat you up now." How does Henry feel about Rock? If the others are better, Ada, this is a hurdle in Henry's heart that he will never get around.

In the past, Ada was at least the dream lover in the hearts of most Cape Town men, and Henry was no exception. Originally, Henry had no other emotions except a little envy for Rock and Ada. Now that he has the crystallization of love, Henry is really I can't stand it.

It's not easy for Rock to justify this kind of thing, so he simply pretended not to hear it.

Owen has no special feelings for Ida, and he opened his mouth about the general election four months later: "Henry and Kevin formed a National Party following the example of the country, and recruited some British and Boer people in Johannesburg to participate in the general election in four months. Now some people in Johannesburg are questioning the right to vote for ethnic Chinese, and the Election Commission has held two meetings on this issue, but no agreement has been reached.”

This matter is a bit serious, and Rock came back for this matter, otherwise Rock would not want to come back.

The Henry Owen mentioned was Henry Alsop, the "Alsop's fat pig" in Phyllis's mouth, and Kevin was Kevin Trevecon, Lacey's ex-fiancé. It is inappropriate to call the political party formed the "National Party".

The suffrage of Chinese Americans is a topic of great concern to the whole society. If Chinese Americans have the right to vote, then there is basically no need to vote in the general election. Whichever party Chinese Americans lean towards will definitely win. Therefore, the National Party will target Chinese Americans as soon as it comes up. In terms of voting rights, if there is no participation of Chinese Americans, then the National Party may not have no chance.

It's just a possibility. In fact, even if the Chinese don't have the right to vote, the National Party's chances of winning are very small.

"Who is in favor? Who is against?" Rock is full of arrogance. During this time in Nyasaland, no matter what it is, Rock can make a decision with one word. Without the constraints of Philip and Ade, Rock is really happy .

This is Roque. Although the problem has not been resolved yet, I am afraid that even Owen has not noticed it. Knowing that Roque returned to Johannesburg, Owen himself is no longer worried about this problem.

This is really not a problem for Rock.

"Almost all members of the Election Committee are in favor of giving Chinese Americans equal voting rights, only Henry and Kevin disagree, oh, yes, and Harry Spencer, his attitude is more ambiguous, he does not object, but he does not directly express his approval Owen seems to be under a lot of pressure during this period, Rock and Henry haven't had any beer yet, and Owen has already finished a bottle.

Rock raised the bottle to signal Henry.

Henry reluctantly touched Rock with the bottle, and then drank it down.

"Don't worry about Harry Spencer. He is a law enforcement officer. It's right not to express his attitude directly. I guarantee that all the votes in the police station will be ours." Rock took everything, don't look at Rock leaving the police station It's been a long time, but anyone who thinks that Rock has lost his influence on the police department is wrong.

Although it has been less than half a year since Harry Spencer took over the Johannesburg Police Department, Harry Spencer knows how to do things well and has not made any adjustments to the Johannesburg Police Department until now. Everything is still exactly the same as when Rock left the police station .

"Don't worry about Owen, since this guy is back, let's leave the matter to this guy. I used to do that, so I'm Lord Farwalt now." Henry said boldly, this is using Rock as a coolie It went smoothly.

"Ha, then I really want to congratulate you." Owen was very angry with Henry, and asked Rock all the questions, why should he be the party chairman.

"I'm only responsible for solving Henry and Kevin, and I don't care about other things. The Chinese must get the right to vote. This is not only related to Johannesburg, but also related to the future Transvaal and the Union of South Africa." Rock thought far, Originally, Rock thought it would be easier to deal with the Boers, but now it seems that the British shit-stirring character is really annoying.

For Orange, Rock's attitude is very clear. Even if Rock goes to fight, the chances of winning in Orange are not great. At most, there will be a few more seats in Orange's parliament, which will not affect Orange. Substantial impact.

Therefore, the Transvaal is the basic base. Only by ensuring the voting rights of the Chinese can the dominance of the British in the Transvaal be guaranteed. Everyone knows this very well.

As for the two bastards Henry and Kevin, Rock suspects that they set up the "National Party" not at all to fight for political participation, but purely to disgust Rock——

No, it has nothing to do with Roque. In any case, Roque is not yet on stage, so the "National Party" is to disgust the Matilda family.

It seems correct to say that, Rock is now also a member of the Matilda family.

"The Federation of South Africa—we are just experimenting now. Even if we implement a democratic representative system in the Transvaal in the future, wouldn't it be too early to talk about the Federation of South Africa?" Owen shook his head and smiled wryly. Rock was indeed too radical, at least that's how Owen understood it. of.

"Owen, you don't know how great it feels to be free." Rock has fully enjoyed his freedom in Nyasaland during this period, and it feels so good without London dictating his head!

This does not mean that officials in London are all idiots. They also have their own interests in mind when they make any decision. From London's standpoint, many of their decisions are correct.

But for southern Africa, London's decision is a bit unrealistic, at least it cannot solve the actual problems in southern Africa in a timely manner. In a constitutional monarchy country like the United Kingdom, southern Africa is the local government, and London is the central government. Contradictions are often irreconcilable.

"Of course you are happy. The Belgians were beaten to shame by you. Before the king's envoy arrived in Cape Town, the Belgians had already sued for peace. As a result, the king's envoy had just disembarked in Cape Town, turned around and boarded the ship back to London. You Is the limelight too much? Be careful." Henry kindly reminded that the better Nyasaland performed, the more constraints Rock would be subject to in the future.

"Ha, I don't even know about this." Rock is not worried about this issue now. A strong Nyasaland is more in line with the interests of Britain in Africa. As for whether the British government will worry about Nyasaland Lanwei is too big to lose——

This does not seem necessary to dispute.

No matter how powerful Nyasaland is, its strength is limited for the United Kingdom. The Northern Division of Rhodesia still has more than 1000 people in name, and even with the addition of the newly created First Cavalry Division, it does not exceed [-]. The navy does not have this establishment, so even if there is an outlet to the sea, the British government can block it at any time, so the British government should not worry that Nyasaland is too powerful. The British government still counts on Roque to complete the "two C plan". If Ke didn't have any strength at hand, why would he use the "two C's plan"?

Taking a step back, the British government is not worried even if Nyasaland tends to get too big.

Rock knows that it is more beneficial for Nyasaland to stay in the Commonwealth, and the British government knows it well. The current situation is that the autonomy of southern Africa is inevitable, so according to the British government's consistent German Sexuality should leave some hidden dangers in southern Africa. In southern Africa, who else is more suitable for this role than Roque and Nyasaland?

No, Rock and Nyasaland are the most suitable.

While Rock was chatting with Henry and Owen, a certain alcoholic around the small stage downstairs probably couldn't bear it anymore and took advantage of the dancing girl.

The girl screamed immediately.

The drunkards around laughed, and someone threw pounds at the girl. These pounds were gold coins, and it hurt a lot, so the girl was a little teary.

There are security guards in the bar, and immediately four K2s with swollen faces approach aggressively.

Alcoholics are guests when they don’t drink too much, but they are gods after drinking too much, and they are not afraid of K2 at all.

So the conflict broke out immediately, and a dozen strong men twisted together in a moment, refusing to give in to each other.

"Stop it all, stop the music, don't blow it! Take it all away with me."

The Russell Bar is right next to the police station, and soon the police came to control the situation, led by a Chinese sheriff.

An alcoholic probably drank a little too much, and when he got up, he punched a policeman severely, knocking the policeman to the ground.

The policemen rushed forward immediately, a dozen batons flew up and down, and the drunkard quickly fell silent.
