Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 805

Belgium is next to France and Germany, facing the direct threat of France and Germany at all times.

Apart from Luxembourg, which is a little bit big and has no sense of existence, there is only one Switzerland left in the country in the same situation. However, Switzerland is mountainous, with complex terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and extremely tough. , and is a permanent neutral country, so there is no country in Belgium that can help him share the pressure.

Whether it is France or Belgium, the first country that wants to annex Belgium after it becomes strong is Belgium. Before the Franco-Prussian War, it was because of fear that France would annex Belgium, so Britain sat and watched France lose.

The same is true after the rise of Germany. Belgium is also facing the threat of national subjugation and extinction. At this time, the Congo Free State is really not important.

Rock's confidence is based on this reason. Although anyone with a discerning eye can see the looming figure of southern Africa in the riots in the Congo Free State, Leopold II and the Belgian government only pointed their finger at the rebels in the Congo Free State. Not to mention the southern African factor, after all, Belgium still relies on Britain and France to resist the German invasion.

With Roque's intervention, Congress quickly passed the federal government's budget, and it was passed almost unanimously. Roque didn't realize what impact this would have until Sidney Milner came to Roque's house be a guest.

"Lock, now you know, only the Lord will consider you wholeheartedly." Sidney Milner seemed a little jealous of Ade's trust in Rock.

"Why?" Rock was surprised, and at the moment he didn't realize why Sidney Milner said that.

"You haven't seen it yet?" Sidney Milner thought Rock was playing dumb.

Rock was at a loss. He really wasn't pretending to be stupid, but he was really not good at these intrigues.

"The budget pushed by the Prime Minister has been unable to pass for a long time. After you intervened, it was almost unanimously passed, and you didn't realize why?" Sidney Milner was also surprised. Rock has always been so smart. Ni Milner doesn't seem to be so dull.

"Sidney, you are overthinking. Don't forget that the Liberal Party was founded by me and Stoudemire. My party card is still number two." Rock didn't think it was Philip and Owen who set him on fire. Roast, although Philip and Owen have the strength to do so.

But thinking about it more, it seems that Philip and Owen also have reasons to do so.

This is scary. Rock really doesn't want to go home and be careful.

"It's not that I think too much, I know your relationship with the lord and your attitude towards the prime minister, but others don't know—" Sidney Milner bluntly said that in the eyes of others, Roque as Mary Members of the Tilda family do have a natural position.

"Then what should we do? The lord doesn't have a daughter—" Rock was indeed used to it in front of Sidney Milner, and he could blurt out such words.

"I don't have a daughter, but I do have a few nieces. Shall I introduce them to you?" Sidney Milner didn't seem to be joking, but his expression was sincere.

There is a strange thing to say. Although the United Kingdom is monogamous and those with a spouse are not allowed to remarry, the United Kingdom recognizes marriages concluded outside the country.

In other words, if the British want to, they can get married once in the UK, and then go to France to get married again. This relationship is also recognized by the British courts.

This is really rotten.

Compared with the United Kingdom, southern Africa is more casual in marriage. It is very common among Africans that wives like scumbags can form a company. Yaya's father used to be a tribal chief, so Yaya's brothers will so many.

It is said that there are more than 60 of them, and the youngest one is not yet weaned.

"Don't say I didn't warn you, if you let Phyllis hear you, you'll be finished." Rock was not kidding, one Phyllis and one Ada had already left Rock with no time to spare, and another one would be too crowded at home.

"Think about Locke, the triangle is the most stable structure." Sidney Milner actually used his mathematics knowledge here, and it is estimated that the mathematics teacher also taught physical education.

"You didn't come to me to talk about this, did you?" Rock didn't bother with this topic anymore, otherwise he would definitely sleep in the study at night.

It's useless if the house is too big, Roque doesn't need to prepare a guest room, because no one will stay at Roque's house.

"Ah—oh, no—what did I just say?" Sidney Milner tried to remember, this was the real Sidney Milner.

Rock didn't prompt, let Sidney Milner think for himself.

"—By the way, what I want to say is that some people will misunderstand the relationship between you and the Lord because of this matter. Although I know you have no position, it is not in the eyes of others." Sidney Milner looked serious , Rock can only say that the British really love gossip.

There is indeed this possibility. Rock hadn't noticed it before, but now Rock realizes that he needs a professional staff member or a professional team.

The Ministry of Defense has a staff office, and Roque also needs some professionals to help with this kind of thing.

However, such a person is hard to find. There are many trustworthy people around Rock, but most of them are prostitutes, and they are better at using violence to solve problems, and violence is precisely the least popular in the political field.

After a little thought, you can understand why civil servants hate soldiers so much. This involves a question of right to speak. Problems that can be solved by using violence naturally don’t need to be brought to the negotiating table. Why is the British War Department so hostile to the arms race? Enthusiasm, why Congress hates the arms race, is also for this reason.

For a qualified staff member, loyalty is the premise first, and then there must be sufficient ability. If it was in the Qing Dynasty, Rock could still find a Shaoxing master, but it is difficult to find in southern Africa. Ability can also stand out from others, and he will not be willing to be inferior at all.

"Sidney, that's why I don't like politics, let them think what they want, lately you know, the northern border is not safe, I can't stay in Pretoria for long as Minister of Defense, I'm going Sitting on the northern border." Roque simply returned to Nyasaland, not getting involved in the bad things of Pretoria, anyway, no matter if Ade is re-elected or Philip wins the election, Roque's interests will not be affected.

"Avoiding is not the attitude to solve problems." Sidney Milner didn't expect Rock to walk away, but it seemed good.

If Roque stays in Pretoria, no matter who he supports, it will make the other party sad, but watching Philip and Admin fight secretly, then Roque will be sad again, so it is really a pity to leave Pretoria temporarily good choice.

Anyway, Rock is not in Pretoria, the operation of the Ministry of Defense will not be chaotic, and the power will not be left behind.

In southern Africa, apart from Roque, there is really no place where another person can control the Ministry of Defense.

"What escape, I'm going to expand the territory for southern Africa, and I'm all focused on this matter. Southern Africa has long unified Africa." Rock hates any form of internal friction, but where there are people, there is politics. This cannot be avoided.

When he went to work the next day, Roque still went to Ade first, emphasizing the importance of northern border security to southern Africa.

In fact, this issue does not need to be emphasized. Just last night, the German army in Tanganyika suddenly crossed the border between Tanganyika and the Congo Free State and occupied Goma in the Congo Free State.

Goma is a small town on the northern shore of Lake Kivu. It and Bukavu are located at the southernmost and northernmost ends of Lake Kivu respectively. During the rebellion in the Congo Free State, Goma was also attacked by rebels and the entire town was burned.

After the Northern Rhodesian Division took Bukavu, the rebels withdrew from Goma, which became a no-man's land.

When the Rhodesian Northern Division did not occupy Bukavu, Goma once became an illegal trading point between the Germans in Tanganyika and the Congo Free State rebels. The rebels exchanged the looted gold with the Germans for daily necessities or It was weapons and ammunition, so Goma was quickly restored, and there were several temporary houses built by the Germans.

The borders during this period were actually not very obvious. If rivers or mountains were used as natural boundaries, it would be difficult to determine the position of the national boundaries without reference objects. Therefore, after the Germans lived in Goma, frankly The Gurnika German army took advantage of the situation to occupy Goma, not only built a barracks, but also built a semi-permanent stronghold.

If it were someone else, they might maintain a tacit understanding with the Tanganyika German Army and expand into the Congo Free State together, and everyone would benefit equally.

But Rock has already regarded the Congo Free State as his own territory, and he will definitely not allow the Germans to reach out, so Rock has good reasons to return to Nyasaland.

The next day, Rock and Phyllis took the children to Nyasaland.

Rock was more or less depressed, so he didn't say goodbye to Philip.

This made Phyllis feel a little uneasy. What Philip and Owen did was a bit too obvious. Phyllis was born in a noble family since she was a child, and she is more sensitive to such things than Roque.

But Phyllis is also difficult to do, one side is father and brother, and the other is husband, so knowing that Roque is going back to Nyasaland, Phyllis has no objection at all.

"Don't worry, I have no problem with Philip and Owen, I just don't like this feeling, you know, I like a simpler life." Rock doesn't want to live so tired, if you have to worry about being with your family, then Family is meaningless.

"What's wrong with Philip and Owen?" Phyllis was smarter than Roque imagined, and her innocent face was like that of a young girl who hadn't experienced much in the world.

"It's nothing, it's fine, I like you in a simpler way." Rock smiled. After so many years of husband and wife, there is still a tacit understanding.
