Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 750

The teacher-student relationship is a very special relationship in the Han cultural circle. The status of the teacher is equal to that of the elders in the family. influence.

For a long time, Philip wanted to compete with Adelaide for the position of prime minister. Although it seemed that Philip, with the help of Rock Henry, had a great chance, in fact Adelaide's advantage was still unshakable, and it was impossible in a short time, so Philip had to find another way. It is obvious that they have taken a fancy to the growing influence of Nyasaland University.

Nyasaland University is indeed very important. Rock did not directly agree, but he still had to communicate with Owen first.

As Pretoria became the capital of southern Africa, the headquarters of the Liberal Party also moved to Pretoria. The headquarters building was named Liberty Palace, which complemented Adelaide's official residence, Justice Palace.

In terms of scale, the Palace of Liberty is comparable to the Palace of Justice, and the cost of building the Palace of Liberty was voluntarily donated by all members of the Liberal Party.

It was really voluntary, and there was no coercion. Of course, rich party members should donate more. Rock and Stoudemire both donated [-] pounds at the time. Although the rand has been widely used in southern Africa, the pound has not been abolished. Can circulate freely.

The cost of the entire Liberty Palace is around 15 pounds, and there are about 150 staff members, most of whom are women.

"We want to meet, isn't it good to make an appointment at the racetrack?" Owen complained when he saw Rock.

Roque can understand that as the leader of the Liberal Party, the Palace of Liberty is Owen's base, but Roque's influence on the Liberal Party is too great. Owen's secretary sees that Roque is star-eyed, which makes Owen have a serious sense of crisis .

Rock's party card is No. [-], Stoudemire's is No. [-], and No. [-] originally belonged to Aiden, but Aiden gave it to Owen on his own initiative.

"I'm a loser, and I don't know what's so good about horse racing. If you want to gamble, playing mahjong is not good." Rock doesn't like horse racing, and he doesn't like gambling, so it's okay to play hygienic mahjong.

Horse racing has always been the most popular sport in the Transvaal. After the Boer War, the first building to be restored in Pretoria was the racecourse, faster than the restoration of the Palace of Justice.

"Playing mahjong is your Chinese sport. We white people still like horse racing. We don't interfere with each other." Owen occasionally plays mahjong with his family when he is at home, but it is difficult to understand the more complicated rules, such as spring, summer and autumn. , Donghe plum, bamboo, orchid, and chrysanthemum, it is difficult for Owen to understand their functions.

"Philip wants you to go to Nyasaland University, what do you think?" Rock was also unfilial, not even calling him a father.

This is the habit of Philip's family. Other families don't know it, but Philip's family is like this.

"What can I think, do I have a choice—" Owen sighed, he is in his 30s and has no freedom at all. He is the leader of the Liberal Party, which is really an insult to the name.

"With your attitude, I dare not let you go to Nyasaland University." Rock was very worried about Owen's state. If Owen affected Nyasaland University, it would not be worth the loss.

"Do you have a choice?" Owen was full of resentment, and it was indeed a lot of pressure to be around Philip.

"Of course, if you don't want to, I can tell Philip." Rock has no shame, it's all for family harmony.

"No, of course I would like to go to Nyasaland University. By the way, I can get to know the Nyasaland Party well. Your Nyasaland Party has won four seats in Congress. Now it is the third largest party in Congress. What do you want to do? Well? Deliberately creating divisions?" Owen's resentment turned out to be here, no wonder.

The largest party in the Southern African Congress is undoubtedly the Liberal Party, the second party is the People's Party founded by Louis Botha and Jan Smoltz, the Nyasaland Party seems to have emerged out of nowhere, and the Progressive Party in Cape has already Dropped to fourth.

"I'm still a member of the Liberal Party." Rock was noncommittal. The Liberal Party is also full of problems. If Owen doesn't give a sense of urgency, the Liberal Party will become the next Progressive Party sooner or later.

If possible, Roque really wants to simplify the multi-party system in southern Africa into a two-party system, or even directly direct one-party dictatorship. In the long run, the benefits of one-party dictatorship are far greater than two-party or multi-party systems. Don’t look at countries now. The two-party or multi-party system is booming, and the disadvantages of the two-party or multi-party system will appear after a long time, and will intensify.

The key is voting rights.

Now the people who have the right to vote in all countries are the elite class, civilians and women do not have the right to vote, no matter how much the elite class is criticized, they must have some sense, and they will not vote because of the false empty promises of some candidates Vote for him, the relative position is relatively firm.

When voting rights are released in the future, in order to win more votes, candidates will write countless empty checks, and the election will become the biggest scam in the world, and the country will be kidnapped by votes, a farce that occurs every four or five years There is an endless stream, and politicians are all focused on winning votes, how much more can they focus on developing the country.

Rock is now waiting. When the Chinese population base, economic capacity, political resources have an overwhelming advantage, then Rock can do whatever he wants.

Not yet.

"The Liberal Party has never harmed the interests of the Chinese. From the beginning of fighting for the right to vote for the Chinese, to now insisting on introducing new immigrants, you should know how much effort the Liberal Party has put in. I even deliberately ignored the interests of some white people for the sake of the Chinese. Isn't that okay? Satisfy you?" Owen said that some of the whites are Boers, which is also a sneaky change of concept, no matter how the Liberal Party pleases the Boers, the Boers will not support the Liberal Party.

"Owen, the Nyasaland Party was not founded by me. If you want, the Nyasaland Party can be merged into the Liberal Party." Rock took the initiative.

"Really?" Owen couldn't believe it. The seats in Congress are still very precious, and there are only 49 seats in total.

"Of course it is true. I not only support the merger of the Nyasaland Party into the Liberal Party, I also support the merger of the People's Party and the Progressive Party into the Liberal Party. It would be best if there is only one party in Congress, so that we can focus on developing the country's economy. Come on." Rock really doesn't like elections, and Philip is a good example. Just after the last election, he started planning for the next election, so how much more can he focus on work.

"The Progressive Party can still discuss it, but the People's Party is too difficult." Owen resentfully said that the Progressive Party can still negotiate because of Stoudemire. As long as the benefits are enough, the Liberal Party, which is now in disarray, does not have many hardcore members, and the People's Party is too difficult. Gao, the relationship between the Boers and the British and Chinese is difficult to reconcile. Unless the power of southern Africa is used to support Orange, it is estimated that the Boers will compromise.

"How big is it? If the People's Party disagrees, then clear them out of Congress." Roque was murderous. Although the art of politics is compromise, compromise is not everything. Be decisive when it is time to be decisive.

"How to catch up?" Owen asked humbly.

"The right to vote—" Rock was annoyed. Elections in the modern sense were created by the British. Owen is a standard Englishman. He actually asked a Chinese who was born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze for advice on election-related things. so amazing.

"How do you get the right to vote? Don't give the Boers the right to vote?" Owen's head is probably full of mud, and his thinking is also extremely rigid.

"The constitution stipulates that the residence requirement must be met, and only formal male citizens with tax records can have the right to vote. If we increase this tax standard a bit, we can exclude the vast majority of Boers. By then, the People's Party will not just mess around with you." Rock figured out how to deal with the rules. The current economic situation in Orange determined that the vast majority of Boers had no tax records at all. If the standards were raised, it would be difficult to say how many Boers would still have the right to vote.

"This method is a bit risky." Owen hesitated. Most Boers do not have tax records, but most Chinese also do not have tax records, so this is a double-edged sword. progressive party.

"It doesn't matter, we still have at least one year to prepare." Rock has confidence in the Chinese. In terms of saving money, all the nations in the world have their own opinions. Everyone here is rubbish, even the Jews who are famous for their ability to make money.

Jews know how to make money, and the difference between saving money and the Chinese is not 01:30. Most white people have no awareness of saving money at all. British nobles and businessmen all rely on robbery to get rich, so the theory of capital It is said that capital came to this world, from head to toe, every pore is dripping with blood and dirty things.

This conclusion is not true for the Chinese. The capital of Britain and the United States is indeed dripping with blood and dirty things from every pore. Britain started with pirates, and the United States started with massacring Indians, so don’t worry about how clean the clothes are. You can only see people by covering up with perfume.

Most of the wealth accumulation of the Chinese is based on hard work. Regardless of the artistic processing of those literary works, the real situation is that in the busy farming season, most landlords also have to pick up the sickle and go to the field to work.

This is the case in southern Africa. On the same farm, the Boer farmer hires a few Africans and starts to enjoy life, but the Chinese farmer is thrifty. He can do it himself and never hires help. There is not much sense of security. Every year, new grains are put into the warehouse to eat old grains. Don't the Chinese know that new grains are delicious?

Born in sorrow and died in peace.

Until Rock left, Owen kept a dull expression.

No matter when Owen starts to implement it, Rock just said that if Owen doesn't have the courage to implement it, then Rock will do it himself.

It's just that when Rock does it himself, he might accidentally injure the British, which is hard to avoid.
