Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 751 Soft and cute

On October 27th, Yang Smotz quietly left Pretoria for London. Douglas took over as Minister of Education. Owen parachuted into Nyasaland University and became Chancellor of Nyasaland University.

The school supervisor is different from the principal. The school supervisor is more of a symbolic position and is not responsible for actual management. Most of the school supervisors in the UK are held by highly respected politicians or members of the royal family. Winston once served as Bristol Chancellor of the University for 36 years.

Philip and Owen are quite satisfied with this arrangement. After all, it is impossible for Owen to leave his job in Pretoria and stay in Nyasaland for a long time. What's more, Owen doesn't know much about the operation of the school and has no interest in it. Understand that such an arrangement is a result acceptable to all.

Douglas faced many difficulties when he took over the Ministry of Education. The biggest difficulty was the staff of the department. Although after Yang Smozi left, two of the six directors of the Ministry of Education also resigned, but the Ministry of Education still has a large number of dead bodies. Fake staff, none of which were in Douglas' plans.

Some statistics have to be mentioned. The salaries of federal government officials are very high. The annual salary of the minister is about 150 rand, the deputy minister is [-], the director is between [-] and [-], and the deputy director is between [-] and [-]. Between [-] and [-] directors, about [-] middle-level employees, and the lowest-paid handyman workers have an annual salary of more than [-] rand.

Corresponding to the salary, other expenditures are higher. The 185 staff members of the Ministry of Education spend more than 50 rand per year. The work of the Ministry of Education in [-] was a mess. The federal government had been established for almost three years, and there was no overall plan to implement compulsory education in southern Africa. This made Douglas, who was used to the simple and efficient style of Nyasaland University, really intolerable.

Fortunately, Douglas still has the support of Adelaide. When Adelaide invited Douglas to be the Minister of Education, he promised to unconditionally support Douglas' reform of the Ministry of Education. That's why Douglas accepted Adelaide's invitation, including the three deputy ministers of the Ministry of Education. , Douglas all have to be replaced.

Rock was still surprised when he learned about Glass's plan. The Chinese society is a society of human relations, which is indeed different from the jungle society.

"Isn't this normal?" Douglas was even more surprised. Rock's image has always been decisive, and he doesn't seem to be bound by other emotions: "We must have the spirit of contract, and leave the job normally according to the contract. Education The Ministry will give them due compensation and thank them for their contributions to the Ministry of Education over the past few years."

Douglas's last sentence was really gnashing his teeth.

Rock just laughed and said nothing, the jungle society can still be justified, and the spirit of the contract is fine.

The spirit of the contract is actually meant for other people to hear. The underlying meaning is that it is best for other people and other countries in the world to abide by the spirit of the contract. Whether I abide by it depends on the situation. The popular "Non-Aggression Treaty", this kind of thing is not even believed by those who signed it, and it can be torn up at any time. The only function is to comfort the heart. Those who want to protect national security are idiots.

The most realistic example is the Berlin Conference. The "General Resolution" formed after the Berlin Conference is a treasure trove that small countries such as Portugal and Belgium talk about, because they rely on this paper to guarantee their interests and strength in Africa. Powerful countries did not take this "General Resolution" to heart, otherwise there would not be so many "Two C Plans", "Two S Plans", and "Teutonic Africa Plan".

So Roque really doesn't believe in the so-called "spirit of contract". The more people have nothing, the more they emphasize something, so putting the "spirit of contract" at the very end just shows that there may be a lack of "spirit of contract".

"I'd better assign some security guards for you." Rock was worried about Douglas' safety. A group of people in the Ministry of Education who lost their rights and status relied on the work of the Ministry of Education to provide for the elderly. Douglas is now going to destroy their jobs. Someone really broke the can.

"Thank you so much." Douglas is not stupid. Some people's thinking cannot be measured by normal people's thinking.

"Actually, you can consider setting up a pension department, and put those people in for retirement, the kind that just get a salary and don't do anything about it." Rock helped out with the idea. The Sixth Department of the Ministry of National Defense is responsible for the retirement of veterans. Department, the real management of veterans is the Second Division in charge of the Reserves.

"Is there such a department? I want to go too—" Douglas was jealous, and still lacked work experience.

"Your Ministry of Education is originally the pension department of the federal government—" Rock accidentally said a bit of a heart-wrenching truth.

Douglas' face immediately turned ugly.

"I'm not belittling the role of the Ministry of Education, but the Ministry of Education has not played a real role." Rock explained, and Douglas sighed deeply. The Ministry of Education is indeed a big pit, and there is a long way to go to reverse the situation.

Compared with the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of National Defense also has many problems. The funding problem can be solved with Roque coming forward. Other problems left by Hopkins are also serious.

It seems that it cannot be said to be a legacy. After all, Hopkins was only hospitalized and is still the Secretary of Defense.

On November 101th, the newly established [-]st Division reported that the quality of some materials issued by the Ministry of Defense was seriously substandard, mainly concentrated on blankets, backpacks and other materials purchased from the Johannesburg Textile Company.

Clothes, tents, blankets, backpacks and other textile-related materials used by the southern African military are all purchased from the Johannesburg Textile Company. The products provided by the Johannesburg Textile Company have not had any problems for a long time. The newly established 101 Division The soldiers are all Africans, and the officers are white and Chinese. Although this unit, like the newly established 102nd Division, will be sent to Europe as cannon fodder in the future, the Ministry of Defense will definitely not treat it differently in terms of supplies. , The salaries of those African soldiers are indeed a little low, and the treatment in other aspects is no different from that of professional soldiers.

Even a prisoner on death row must have a full meal before going to the guillotine.

If it is another company, Roque may not know it yet. Roque, the Johannesburg textile factory, must have known it. This company was founded by Roque, but now it is under the name of Phyllis, and its main business is wool spinning and textile processing. , Most of the textile-related materials needed by the southern African military are purchased from the Johannesburg Textile Company.

Although the Johannesburg Textile Company was involved, Roque still ordered a thorough investigation. In fact, the investigation was not troublesome. The Ministry of Defense sent military representatives to the Johannesburg Textile Company. All products purchased by the Ministry of Defense were supervised by military representatives during the production process. , The staff of the Ministry of National Defense also need to check the delivery, and the warehouse management personnel must sign for it when it is put into the warehouse. If there is any problem in any link, the responsible person can be found. If the responsible person cannot be found, then the person in charge of the logistics supplies The director of the third division, Bruce Matthew, was blamed.

Looking back, Rock first asked Phyllis to find out about the Johannesburg Textile Company.

"The company is doing well, it's running well, it's just not making much money—" Phyllis said of Johannesburg Textiles with a clear conscience.

The Johannesburg Textile Company is indeed running well. With various cheap raw materials provided by the Transvaal, Rhodesia, and Nyasaland, and a large number of purchase orders provided by the Ministry of Defense, the Johannesburg Textile Company is not short of profits.

The problem is that the wages paid by the Johannesburg Textile Company to workers are too high. The annual salary of ordinary workers in southern Africa is only about [-] rand. The average salary of workers in the Johannesburg Textile Company is more than [-] rand. Most of the workers in the textile company are still female workers. As a result, the company has not made much money.

Fortunately, Roque didn't care about money, and Phyllis didn't have much idea about money. Anyway, most of the female workers in the Johannesburg Textile Company were of Chinese descent, so Roque just tossed around with Phyllis as long as she didn't lose money.

"The Ministry of Defense has a problem with a batch of products purchased from the Johannesburg Textile Company. The quality of the blankets and backpacks is seriously substandard-" Roque said truthfully.

This kind of thing is not impossible, because of the relationship between Rock and Phyllis, even if there is a small problem with the products provided by the Johannesburg Textile Company, it is estimated that it will not be reflected on Rock, so now it shows that the problem is very serious and has already affected The training work of the troops is reported step by step.

"Impossible, our products cannot have quality problems." Phyllis categorically denied it.

Rock didn't speak, and looked at Phyllis quietly.

"You can't doubt me—" Phyllis' eyes were red.

"I'm not doubting you. We've been in Nyasaland for the past few years. I guess you don't have time to manage the company. It's normal for problems to arise." Rock absolutely trusted Phyllis, but he didn't trust anyone else.

"I'll go back to Johannesburg right away." Felice said decisively. The Johannesburg Textile Company is one of the few industries under Felice's name. Felice's mentality in running the company is similar to doing charity, so Felice absolutely does not allow this kind of thing occur.

"No!" Rock refused more decisively, jokingly, Phyllis went to Johannesburg, who would take Gavin and Alvin.

"Then what should I do?" Phyllis is still soft and cute even when she is angry. After living with Rock for so long, Phyllis also habitually doesn't use her brain.

"Call Dulles over and ask him what's going on." It's not that Rock doesn't pay attention to it, but it's really a matter of priority, and it's not to the point where human life is at stake.

Dulles was general manager of the Johannesburg Textile Company.
