Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 435

The investigation is actually very simple. Owen sent staff to visit the voters around polling point No. [-], and found that most of them voted for the Liberal Party, and very few voters supported the Socialist Party.

The problem, then, is the ballot.

Many civilians in this era have not received education, and their ballots are filled out by staff sent by the Election Commission. There are six staff members in polling station No. [-], all of whom are members of the Liberal Party. But one person has now quit the Liberal Party to join the Socialist Party.

This guy named Bruce Hughes immediately entered Owen's realization.

"Bruce Hughes came to Johannesburg from his hometown a year ago. He first worked in the Johannesburg City Government and was responsible for the resettlement of Boers. Later, Bruce Hughes' department was disbanded. Bruce Hughes came to join the Liberal Party and work at the Liberal Party headquarters—— Before the election, Bruce Hughes was in charge of assisting voters to fill in ballots. He was the person in charge of the area of ​​polling point No. [-], so no one doubted him; It is possible to become one of the four members of the Socialist Party." Owen's face was ashen, although there is no evidence, it is obvious that Bruce Hughes is very suspicious.

Rock's face was also ugly. Such a thing would happen in a situation where the Liberal Party had the upper hand. This incident was Hong Guoguo's slap in the face.

The point is that Roque and Owen can't make a big publicity yet. This matter is not very glorious. If it is made public, it will expose many problems in the Liberal Party's organizational structure and internal monitoring, so even if Roque and Owen want to pursue Bruce Hughes Responsibility, also can not fanfare.

"Arnold's heir status is still very confusing to ordinary people, but what I can't figure out is that Bruce Hughes is also an official in the Liberal Party. Doesn't he know the actual situation in Johannesburg?" Owen Best Puzzling, I really can't figure out why Bruce Hughes would do this.

"It's very simple. The Liberal Party has too many advantages. People like Bruce Hughes may always be low-level officials in the Liberal Party. It is difficult to climb up. But if the Socialist Party is different, Bruce Hughes is only the lowest in the Liberal Party. Team leader, if you come to the Socialist Party, you will be able to become a minister, and you may even become a member of parliament. If it were me, I would take the risk." Although Rock does not agree with this method, Rock can understand.

I can really understand that when he was in Cape, Rock was also an insignificant little person, so Rock understood the mentality of the little people very well. At that time, as long as there was a chance, Rock would climb up at all costs, and the current Bruce Hugh In fact, they are more or less the same.

Of course, being able to understand does not mean accepting it. Bruce Hughes will definitely have to pay a price, let alone being a member of parliament, he will not be a minister for a few days.

"In the future, there must be a fixed process for joining the party and quitting the party. You can't come and leave as you want like now." Rock really hates this kind of behavior that is unpredictable.

"It's normal to join the party and quit the party. All the parties in the world are the same. I'm afraid we can't do this." Owen is a bit embarrassed. If too many rules are set, the Liberal Party will no longer be "free".

"No, it's not normal, Bruce Hughes doesn't take his party status seriously just because you can join the Liberal Party by filling out a form, and you don't even have to say hello to quit. If we can put restrictions on this behavior , then if someone wants to do this again in the future, they will carefully weigh the gains and losses, at least not so hastily.” The reason why Rock dislikes the democratic representative system is this. Elections in the general sense are not only waste of money, but also trigger a series of negative effect.

This is also because the democratic representative system has just begun to be implemented in the Johannesburg area. In fact, after a few years, this situation will decrease a lot, but Rock doesn't have that long to wait.

"Okay, I'll go back and ask someone to study it." The Liberal Party has a team dedicated to drafting various rules and regulations. This team is composed of lawyers and is more professional than Roque and Owen.

"And Bruce Hughes, I think you can go directly to Arnold, or go back and listen to your father's advice." Rock was cruel, and Bruce Hughes probably thought that with Arnold's protection, Rock and Owen would throw a mouse, then Bruce Hughes was wrong.

"I'm still talking to Arnold. I'll go back and have a chat with my father." Owen decided to go to Philip to complain. Arnold's actions are not honest. Philip has already reminded Arnold that Arnold dared to manipulate the election. act recklessly.

Regardless of the quarrel between Owen and Arnold, Rock called Xia Jiu directly.

"Socialist Party Propaganda Minister Bruce Hughes, send me someone to watch him and see if he can find anything." Rock still directly mobilized the umbrella to monitor Bruce Hughes. A cavalry division is more specialized.

"No problem my lord, I will even find out what color pajamas he wears at night." Xia Jiu took the bag and looked at Luo Ke, hesitant to speak.

"what?"

"Gabby George—" Xia Jiu mentioned the name that Rock was about to forget.

In fact, it happened not long ago. It can only be said that Rock was too busy during this time, and he almost forgot about Gabby George.

"Don't worry, he will go to trial in a few days." Rock still chose to reconcile with Harry Alsop, and the public trial became a private trial. Rock would definitely not kill Gabby George. The chip in Rock's hand.

On the surface, the National Party has indeed been disbanded now, but the news from the inside shows that things are not that simple.

Harry Alsop was not reconciled to failure. Although Henry Alsop ran back to the mainland to avoid the limelight, the National Party changed its name and is now called the Gathering Party, and continued to hype in Pretoria.

Harry Alsop probably didn't know what happened to the previous Gael Party, so he used this unlucky name. This is also normal. There is a Progressive Party in Johannesburg, which is also different from the Progressive Party in Cape.

The current leader of the Gathering Party is Adrian Simon, whom Rock has dealt with. Harry Alsop probably doesn't have many trusted confidants, so he can only appoint his own secretary as the leader of the Gathering Party. Good choice.

"That's good. I've sent a team to provide 24-hour personal protection for Gabby George. Gabby George probably knows that he won't have a good few days, and he gets drunk every day." Xia Jiu relaxed Quite a few, Gabby George is now a ticking time bomb, and no one knows when it will explode. Of course, Xia Jiu hopes that Gabby George will leave the umbrella as soon as possible, regardless of whether he lives or dies.

"Be careful, don't let him run away." Rock reminded casually.

"Hehe, he can't run. This guy's injuries haven't healed yet, and he can't even get out of bed now." Xia Jiu was very confident.

As a result, he was slapped in the face at night.

Rock only received Xia Jiu's report early in the morning, and Gabi George ran away.

Rock wore only a nightgown and accepted Xia Jiu's confession in the study.

"It's my fault. It was my carelessness that allowed Gabby George to find a chance. His injuries should have recovered a long time ago, and he has been anesthetizing himself with alcohol. He was drunk all day long. The guards I arranged I let down my vigilance, the guards were too careless when they were on duty last night, and it turned out that Gabi George had disappeared when the shift was changed. I sent all the security personnel to search overnight, but they couldn't find it—"Xia Jiu was dejected, boasting yesterday No matter how big you are, you will lose face today.

"What did I tell you yesterday?" Rock hated iron.

"Be careful, don't let him run away—" Xia Jiu was crying, wishing she could tuck her head into her crotch.

"In the end, you let him run away. What should I say now? Is it because I am too clumsy, or you are too confident—" Rock is very worried. A Gabby George is actually not a big problem. The key is that Rock has been The smooth sailing since then has given Rock and his men too much confidence.

Including Roque, they were full of confidence during this period, and Roque might not have noticed it himself.

"It's my fault—I accept the punishment!" Xia Jiu's lesson this time should be deeply rooted in his soul.

"It's not that you can pass the test by accepting punishment. You must be punished. The key is how to prevent similar incidents in the future. Umbrella Company now has thousands of employees. You, the general manager, can't set an example. What do your subordinates think?" Rock asked Xia Jiu. , to give everyone a profound lesson, meritorious deeds must be rewarded, and demerits must be punished.

"I'm not the general manager, let Lu Si be the general manager." Xia Jiu's arrangement was pretty good.

Rock was immediately laughed out of anger. This is taking the umbrella as his own. Don't forget that Owen is also the boss of the umbrella.

"Lu Si can't, let Kevin Mullen be the general manager." Rock has his own decision. Kevin Mullen's ability to negotiate with the mine is not bad, and Rock doesn't care about Kevin Mullen. Mullen's complexion.

To put it bluntly, Xia Jiu and Lu Si are actually not qualified to hold important positions. It's just that there is no one available in Rock's hands, so Xia Jiu and Lu Si have to be pushed to the front desk.

Owen should also have some complaints about Rock's "cronyism", but Owen never said that Rock can't treat the umbrella as his own private property just because Owen doesn't object.

"Kevin Mullen, that lawyer?" Xia Jiu didn't expect Rock to make such an arrangement.

"What's wrong with the lawyer? Kevin Mullen has received a serious university education and is more qualified than you, a retired policeman." Rock was very angry, and there was a long way to go to improve the level of his subordinates.
