Reborn South Africa as a police officer
Chapter 963 Pretend
Chapter 963 Pretend
Roque's speech lasted 10 minutes. In Congress where time is money, half an hour is already a great deal of face. During Roque's speech, a total of 11 times were interrupted by applause. After the speech, Justice Viscount Halden represented Congress Roque awarded the Congressional Medal.
Look, it is said that sooner or later the medals can't be worn out.
After leaving Parliament, Rock and Winston traveled in the same car to see George V.
Winston has returned to the high-spirited Winston who pointed out the country again. It can be seen that he is in a good mood during this time. Although the Minister of Military Supplies is not as prominent as the Secretary of the Navy, the importance of the Minister of Military Supplies is obviously higher than that of the Secretary of the Navy.
Before the outbreak of the World War, everyone pinned their hopes of victory on the invincible Royal Navy.
As a result, after the outbreak of World War II, the Royal Navy could not find a chance to win, even the German fleet. With many cutting-edge warships, the role played by the world's number one local fleet is not even as good as a large group of retired ones. The Mediterranean fleet composed of "grandfathers".
The German Navy vowed before the war that it would compete with the Royal Navy in the English Channel. For this reason, the German Navy cheated the German government of more than [-]% of its military expenditure.
As a result, after the outbreak of World War II, the German navy, which was also powerful on paper, huddled in the German military port and did not even dare to leave the door. The British Royal Navy blocked the German coastline. I don’t know how Wilhelm II felt. , which can also explain why William II was so keen on handicrafts that he could spend an afternoon doing carpentry in the garden.
Switching to Roque, Roque was also depressed.
"You've been a great help to me and Marshal Kitchener, you don't know how much stress we've been under during this time, the air in London is suffocating—" Winston laughed in the car, which he was traveling in The sedan is not an armored command vehicle like Roque, and it does feel rather depressing.
But the air in London is suffocating, probably not because of the unfavorable war situation, but because of the bad air in London.
Sitting in the car, Rock looked forward, and it was already hazy 100 meters away.
Outside the car window was thick fog everywhere, and there were clouds of unknown gas in the air. Many pedestrians on the road were wearing masks or covering their mouths and noses with their collars, coughing violently from time to time.
Let me explain here that masks were not invented in the West. As early as the Dade period, masks had already appeared in the palace. At that time, the waiters used a kind of silk and gold thread to prevent their own breath from spreading to the emperor's food. The world's first mask.
Rock also wears a mask, but it is not made of silk and gold thread, but made of gauze and cotton wool.
This kind of mask is called "Wu's mask", and it was not invented by Rock, but was invented by Lien Teh Wu, who graduated from Cambridge University in the United Kingdom, at the end of 1910.
Of course, according to the habits of southern Africa, some improvements have been made to the mask so that the mask can better fit the facial curve.
Don't underestimate this little improvement. Winston also wears a mask, but Winston's mask is sewn on the collar, and it is very inconvenient to hold it down with your hands all the time when wearing it.
"I really don't understand how you people can endure this kind of environment. I think improving the environment is more important than winning the war." Rock is uneasy. To improve the environment, he must gradually de-industrialize. Gradually de-industrialize, and it will no longer be a single colony. The economy is not dependent on the British mainland, but the British mainland is dependent on the colonies.
"London's air quality is indeed bad, but it's not that serious—" Winston didn't care. It's said that if you live in Lanshi for a long time, you don't smell its fragrance, and if you live in Bow City for a long time, you don't smell its smell. Only comparison can hurt.
"How many people died in London this winter because of poor air quality?" Roque emphasized.
"A lot of people die in London every winter, but don't be alarmist. It's not necessarily because of the air quality." Winston disagreed. It is a slow effort to control the environment, and the effect will not be seen for a while. The descendants of the tree enjoy the shade, so Winston will not be thankless.
This is the so-called democracy and freedom. The British are indeed quite free. They can choose whether to live in London. If they choose to live in London, then they have to accept the air quality in London. There is no such thing as a chicken soup: if You can't change the environment, so try to adapt to the environment.
This sentence is correct in a specific environment, it depends on how it is understood.
Unlike the smog in urban areas, King George V lived in a palace in the countryside. The air quality here is very good, comparable to that of Cyprus. No wonder no one cares about the air quality in London.
Incidentally, Winston also lives in a country house.
In order to receive Roque, King George V put up a rare big parade. The royal guard of honor was sent out to welcome Roque. Accompanying Roque to review the guard of honor was the Duke of Bedford. The Duke of Tford disinherited the title.
Born in a powerful family, you can enjoy benefits beyond ordinary people, but you also have to bear the due responsibilities of benefits.
George V was waiting for Roque at the gate of the palace. After reviewing the guard of honor, George V welcomed Roque with a smile on his face.
Rock no longer had the freshness he had when he first met George V. When he was reviewing troops on the Western Front, George V fell off his horse and lost face. Now that George V finally has a fig leaf, the Ottoman battlefield is based on The British Expeditionary Force is the main force, and France, a traditional army power, is in an auxiliary position.
"Locke, congratulations, you have won an unprecedented victory, we are all proud of you—" When George V congratulated Rocke, a large group of nobles and princes applauded Rocke, and some people shook hands with Rocke , eyes filled with gratitude.
Rock knew why these people were so enthusiastic. Some time ago, The Times published the list of the noble children who died in battle, and now it finally played a role.
"I read your report before and thought that if the war can be won in June next year, then God will bless England. I didn't expect the news of victory to come so soon. I remember you said some time ago that the troops could not continue because of the heavy snow blocking the mountains. Go forward, how did you do it?" George V was very curious, and his biggest regret now is that he was not able to inspect the Mediterranean during the Battle of the Dardanelles.
"I can only say that the Ottoman Empire encountered more difficulties than us. After the loss of Constantinople, the Ottoman Empire was doomed to fail. It was only a matter of time." Conscience of heaven and earth, Rock really did nothing, A few days ago, I was planning to arrange a rotation for the troops to rest.
"Yes, fortunately we survived—" George V took a seat at the head of the table, and Rock's seat was still on George V's left.
The last time Rock sat in this position, it was somewhat symbolic.
Now Rock can sit here with peace of mind, Winston will be in the lower row, and the Duke of Bedford sits opposite Rock.
"Tell us about how you did it." George V remained enthusiastic.
"I don't actually do a lot of work——" Rock deliberately kept a secret, and everyone waited excitedly for Rock to continue: "——When I accepted the command of the commander-in-chief of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force, Wen Si Don reminded me that my main job was to coordinate the relationship within the expeditionary force and ensure the logistics of the frontline troops—I did that, and then I won the victory—”
Rock spoke briefly and drew Winston on.
Winston grinned from ear to ear, and he had a good eye for people.
The Duke of Bedford smiled reservedly, nodded and applauded lightly, his appreciation for Roque was obvious.
It is really that the British aristocracy has been decadent for too long.
Before the outbreak of the World War, the British aristocracy was actually on the verge of destruction. Since the 19th century, the British Parliament passed bills such as the "Secret Voting Act" and "Redistribution of Seats Act" to continuously limit the power of the aristocracy. Noble titles are flooding, and the gold content is further reduced.
After Lloyd George came to power, the British Parliament passed the "Parliament Act", which completely ended the dominance of the House of Lords over the United Kingdom. For a time, everyone was in danger and the building was about to collapse. That's why the children of the nobles became enthusiastic after the outbreak of the World War join the army.
Those poor aristocratic children thought that the World War, like previous wars, was a vanity fair for military exploits.
Unexpectedly, the world war turned into a meat grinder, and the children of the nobles suffered heavy casualties, which was unacceptable to everyone.
The appearance of Rock filled this regret. As the Viscount of Nyasaland, Rock was also a member of the noble class. When the nobles needed honor most, Rock led the Southern African Expeditionary Force to win a series of victories. "After that, Roque was immediately named Earl of Nyasaland.
After the surrender of the Ottoman Empire, the voice in the United Kingdom to ask Rock to replace Haig as the commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force became louder and louder. Although Haig was also closely related to the royal family, Haig was not a member of the nobility after all and could not represent For the group of nobles, even if the British Expeditionary Force wins the final victory under the leadership of Haig, it will be a victory for the common people, and the status of the nobles will become more and more embarrassing.
If Rock led the British Expeditionary Force to defeat Germany, then all problems would be solved, and the British nobles would have a reason to be superior and enjoy the benefits of rights and status as they should.
Rock knows these twists and turns, so now he is more humble: "At the most dangerous time, I almost put a knife on Winston's neck, forcing Winston to give me more shells. Fortunately, We have won, or Winston would not have let me go—”
The words were so comfortable that George V couldn't help laughing, and Winston glared at Rock.
Actually not too angry.
(Hey, the expected Gagen is here again, thanks to the brothers who subscribed and voted every day, and also thanks to the brothers who rewarded comments, especially thanks to Brother Du Majin for the reward, such a generous person, you deserve to get rich——)
