Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 454

The democratic representative system in Johannesburg is just an experiment. The general implementation of the democratic representative system in the Transvaal and Orange will not be carried out until after Adelaide leaves office. Therefore, Adelaide's situation is a bit embarrassing now. It seems that everyone is looking forward to it. Ade resigned.

Rock didn't think so.

In fact, Rock really wants Adelaide to stay. After the Transvaal and Orange implemented the democratic representative system, the integration of the four colonies in southern Africa has become unstoppable. At that time, only Adelaide is the most qualified to become the Prime Minister of the Federation of South Africa. .

In another time and space, the first Prime Minister of the Federation of South Africa was Louis Botha. Louis Botha was capable, but not enough to convince the public. The British community in the Federation of South Africa could not accept being ruled by a Boer. As a result, the Federation of South Africa After its establishment, a large number of South African British descendants returned to their homeland, which had a certain impact on the Federation of South Africa.

Louis Botha's approach to ethnic issues is also open to question. The Federation of South Africa is a multi-ethnic country. Louis Botha was influenced by the hardline Yang Smozi, and his attitude towards "minorities" was simple and rude. At that time, the Federation of South Africa There are already 15 Indians, nearly 200 million Zulus, and the total population of whites is only about 60. Louis Botha's attitude towards "minorities" has planted the seeds of disaster for the future South African Federation.

In southern Africa in this era, the situation is more complicated. Another time and space, the Boers won the elections in Transvaal and Orange, so the South African Federation was formed with the Boers as the main body.

The Chinese in this time and space have replaced the Boers in the Transvaal. Coupled with the attitudes of Nyasaland and Rhodesia, the future South African Federation will definitely be dominated by British descent. By then Louis Botha will be It is impossible to serve as prime minister again, and Adelaide is the most suitable candidate for prime minister.

If, like in another time and space, Adelaide leaves South Africa directly after leaving office and returns to his native land, then Roque can only force Philip to become prime minister.

Considering the power of the Matilda family, Philip will encounter huge resistance as prime minister. Everyone in southern Africa, including London, may not want a huge family to appear in southern Africa. The current situation in Johannesburg has already aroused some people's concern. Be vigilant, if Philip becomes prime minister again, the Union of South Africa can change its country name to Matilda.

Adelaide's biggest advantage is that he has no children, so no one will worry that Adelaide's family will dominate the family. This is a situation that everyone is willing to accept.

A huge hidden danger is that London may not want to see a united southern Africa, so Louis Botha can become prime minister in another time and space. In this time and space, it is not so easy for Adelaide to stay. The British government would rather put Adelaide I am afraid that Adelaide will not be allowed to stay in South Africa if he is transferred back to the mainland and idled.

Rock expressed to Adelaide his concerns about the future implementation of the democratic representative system in the Transvaal and Orange, hoping that Adelaide would be aware of this problem and take the initiative to stay.

"Locke, no matter what the future holds, it's Southern Africa's own choice. You should have confidence in Southern Africa." Ade, in turn, did Rock's ideological work, and didn't seem to agree with Rock's worries.

Rock could only smile wryly. In front of Ade, Rock certainly couldn't say he had no confidence.

But speaking from the bottom of his heart, Roque really has no confidence in the future of Southern Africa. Even though Southern Africa in this time and space has hundreds of thousands more Chinese than Southern Africa in another time and space, Roque still has no confidence.

There is no way, there are too many pig teammates who are holding back, the Zulus are enough to cause headaches, and the Boers who are not enterprising are added, which is almost the difficulty of hell.

"You may not know it, but it is because of you that I believe that the future of southern Africa will be better and better. The situation in Nyasaland and Rhodesia is very good, and the Transvaal is also getting better and better, plus Cape, Southern Africa will be very promising in the future.” Ade’s greatest confidence comes from Roque, and Roque is indeed the biggest variable of this era, but Roque alone can’t hold back Southern Africa.

"But there's Natal and Orange, and Basutoland, and Bechuanaland, and Swaziland, and those areas are going to be a burden on Southern Africa, and Southern Africa is going to be hard-pressed because of these areas." Roque No Ah Germany is so optimistic that Basutoland, Bechuanaland, and Swaziland are all British protectorates. If a unified southern Africa is to be established, these protectorates must be included in southern Africa. This is what makes Rock most worried.

Basutoland is the future Lesotho, Bechuana protectorate is Botswana, Swaziland once obtained independent status, but Swaziland has voluntarily requested to become a British protectorate, so the British government will not give up these few days of a region.

As far as the virtues of the British government are concerned, these areas will be packaged and stuffed into the Federation of South Africa, and then the Federation of South Africa will become a hodgepodge, dragged into the abyss by endless internal friction.

"Locke, you are too pessimistic, the manpower of Basutoland, Bechuanaland and Swaziland is much needed in Southern Africa, and the Boers of Natal and Orange will keep the whites in Southern Africa Population advantage, so these are not problems." Ade still couldn't get rid of the shackles of habitual thinking. When talking about advantages, he seemed to have forgotten that Rock was not white.

"It seems to be an advantage in a short period of time, but if we take a long-term view, these current advantages will become disadvantages and will be infinitely magnified." Rock was still acting too hastily, and this was a bit rude, as if he was saying something. De didn't look far enough.

So Ade was very upset, and then Rock was kicked out of the Governor's Mansion without even having lunch.

Fortunately, there is still Henry's family who can grab a meal. On the way to Henry's house, Rock noticed that there were several propaganda points of political parties along the way, not only the Liberal Party, the National Party and the Socialist Party, but even Louis Botha and Yang Shi The People's Party established by Mozi all carried out propaganda in Pretoria.

Among all the political parties, the Liberal Party still has the greatest advantage, but unlike Johannesburg, the Liberal Party’s advantage in Pretoria is not obvious. Fortunately, other political parties have effectively diverted votes, and the Transvaal implements a democratic representative system At that time, the Liberal Party won the election without any problem.

Compared with Johannesburg, Pretoria's municipal construction is not inferior. Compared with Pretoria in the Republic of Transvaal, the area of ​​Pretoria is now slightly smaller, and the population is not as large as that of Johannesburg. Many, Ade simply converted some abandoned residential areas into parks, and the roads in the urban area are also very wide. The police station patrolling the city has already used motorcycles, which surprised Rock a little.

If Roque was still the chief of police in Johannesburg, it is estimated that the police patrols in Johannesburg would have used motorcycles now. Harry Spencer's attitude towards work is a bit negative, and he doesn't pay much attention to the hardware facilities of the police station. Roque is not in it now. He has no right to speak on this issue.

The one-and-a-half-year-old Paula was already running around. When she saw Roque, she was obviously a stranger to her godfather. The baby fat on the little guy's face was obvious, and his big light blue eyes looked at Roque without blinking. Facing Roque's outstretched hands, Paula put her hands behind her back, her fingers twisted into twists, and her body's resistance was obvious.

"Hahahaha, baby, don't pay attention to this guy, he is a very annoying person." Henry was very happy to see Rock deflated, holding Paula and throwing him into the sky.

Paula likes this game very much, the way she giggles is not ladylike at all, Lacey will probably be very upset if she sees it.

"You can't educate Paula like this, it will create a estrangement between Paula and me. I am Paula's godfather. If you keep doing this, I will make Paula believe in Taoism when she grows up." Rock was very envious, Arthur He and Gavin are both boys, and Rock actually likes girls very much.

Fortunately, there is still a chance!

"Hehe, don't even think about it. I'm not Gavin's godfather. If you dare to make Paula believe in your Taoism, I will dare to send Gavin to be an ascetic!" Henry did not show any weakness. Ascetics are much more miserable than Taoists Now, Taoists can marry and have children, and ascetics are almost like monks.

"Hahahaha, Phyllis will scratch your face—" Rock is not afraid of this kind of threat, Gavin is Phyllis' heart, if Henry dares to bully Gavin—

Henry probably didn't dare, or Rock would ask Gavin to get a haircut in the first month.

No, it is estimated that Henry does not understand this stalk.

"Okay gentlemen, dinner is served—" Lacey finally came out to pick up Paula, and Paula was lying on Lacey's shoulder and peeking at Roque.

Rock made a face at Paula, and Paula immediately buried her face in Lacey's neck in embarrassment.

At the dinner table, Rock and Henry also talked about Adam Stephen. At this time, Rock and Henry's judgments were very consistent. No matter how you looked at it, Adam Stephen looked like he was murdered, or he was murdered, or he deserved it , anyway, it can't be suicide.

"It's a good thing you're not the police chief now, or you'd be annoying." Henry could only be thankful that this kind of thing didn't happen in Pretoria.

No matter how the Johannesburg Police Department proves, anyone who knows the specific circumstances knows that Adam Stephen committed suicide.

This is almost a humiliation for the police. They know that someone has committed a crime, but they can’t be held accountable, and they can’t even conduct an investigation. In the next period of time, the police in Johannesburg are probably embarrassed to wear uniforms when they go out. It’s a bit embarrassing.

"You are the boss of all the police in the Transvaal, don't you have any ideas?" Rock laughed at Henry mercilessly.

The Johannesburg Police Department is under the control of the Pretoria Police Department, so Rock is right, Henry should have an idea.

"Sorry, I have no idea at all." Henry was not ashamed, and no one would dare to pursue this kind of thing even in the mainland.
