Adelaide, who was born in 1854, is now 65 years old and is definitely a long-lived person.
You may not believe it. In 1920, in Europe, known as the center of world civilization, the average life expectancy was only 49 years old. In the United States, which has the world's largest GDP, the average life expectancy has just exceeded 50. If this data is enlarged to the world, the average life expectancy is only 49 years old.
About 31 years old.
Due to the imbalance of population ratio in Southern Africa, the overall age is relatively low, and there is no exact figure on the average life span.
However, based on the comprehensive judgment of many social institutions based on the actual situation in southern Africa, the average life expectancy in southern Africa must be more than 50 years old, which is roughly the same as that in the United States.
In another time and space, Ade has been working in the UK after leaving southern Africa.
Considering the winter conditions in London, it's hard to say how many years you can live.
Ade's physical condition now should be much better than in another time and space. At least the air in Pretoria in winter is cleaner than that in London. London in winter is the "fog city", and Pretoria in winter is still the "garden city".
city".
"The problem is not serious. The lumbar and cervical vertebrae are old problems. The blood pressure is a bit high and the heart is normal. For the sake of your health, my lord, you should strengthen exercise, eat healthily, and maintain a relaxed and happy mood." Ziwei Hospital in Ziwei City
, Su Xian did a physical examination for Ade, and the result was not bad.
Perhaps because he has stepped down as prime minister and is in a more relaxed mood, Ade's body is now starting to gain weight.
Su Xian learned that Ade often went fishing with Kitchinna, as often as once every other day. After fishing, Kitchina always liked to have a barbecue.
For the elderly, fish is a healthy choice, but barbecue is definitely not.
"Okay, okay, strengthen exercise and eat healthily - as for keeping a relaxed and happy mood, haha -" Ade shook his head and smiled bitterly, doing his job honestly, and finishing his term in peace and quiet and handing over smoothly.
No, you have to do something earth-shattering to prove your wisdom and prowess.
Yes, it's Philip.
I don’t know who Phillip wants to compare with.
If you want to talk to Adebi.
Then Ade admitted defeat without hesitation.
If you want to compete with Rokeby——
Haha, even if Roque does nothing, his status in southern Africa will be much higher than Philip.
There is absolutely no comparison.
Although Philip is the patriarch of the Matilda family.
"You have resigned, what does it have to do with you?" Su Xian smiled, and went to sit in the living room with Ade.
The ward Ade stayed in at Ziwei Hospital must have been a high-end ward. It had a bedroom, a living room, a study, an office, a conference room, a kitchen and a bathroom. It was about the same size as the presidential suite at the Rhodesia Hotel.
"How could it not matter? The establishment of the African Union has something to do with all southern Africans." The Ade people left the Palace of Justice, and their hearts will always stay there.
"You have to give full trust to Lord Matilda and Lord Nyasaland if you are not in charge of your position." Su Xian adjusted the prescription for Ade. All the monarchs, ministers and envoys were marked with symbols, just like the heavenly book, and outsiders could not see it at all.
Understand.
Chinese medicine treatment is different from Western medicine. In principle, it is one person's prescription. It needs to be adjusted at any time according to the actual situation. The prescriptions are not fixed.
Different people have different conditions, and the prescriptions are naturally different. They are all colds. If it is Roque, drink more water and exercise for a few days to get through it. If it is Adelaide, you will need to take medicine to assist treatment. If it is a child, then again
It's another situation.
"Yeah, if I'm not in my position and I don't want to do my job, I'll just hide in the hospital and let them do whatever they want." Ade is now more than capable.
As an emperor and a courtier, when Adelaide was in office, the cabinet members and ministers were all Adelaide's people, so that they could work together as one.
After Philip took office, he made adjustments to many departments. In addition to Roque and Henry, two members of the Matilda family, even the Ministry of Finance led by Ada had two more deputy ministers, which greatly affected Ada's power.
Big restrictions, not to mention other departments.
So in the past few months, there have been quite a few people coming to Ade to cry and complain.
Some people were really wronged. It was not because they were incompetent, but simply because they had a better relationship with Ade, so they were eliminated.
These officials were originally the legacy left to Rock by Ade.
Now it is abandoned by Philip without hesitation.
So Ade was admitted to the hospital.
"The Lord is coming back soon. If you want to deal with someone, you still need the Lord to take action." Su Xian rarely complained. In southern Africa, if there is no explanation in front of "Lord", then it usually refers to Roque.
"Locke's life is not easy. He went to attend some naval meeting. When he left, I told him to be careful and thankless. He is not a human being inside and outside. Huh-" The implication of Ade's words is that he will suffer a loss if he doesn't listen to the old man's advice.
In front of you.
Deserve it!
In fact, it still hurts.
Adelaide had no children. Rock and Sidney Milner were Adelaide's closest relatives, and both of them went to the United States.
"Will London give us four aircraft carriers?" Su Xian is also concerned about the Southern African Navy. During this period, various versions of rumors are flying all over the sky. I don't know which one is true.
The four "Normandy" class battleships purchased by the Kingdom of Mozambique and West Africa are said to be transformed into a powerful existence similar to the "Hood" battlecruiser. The tonnage must be more than 40,000 tons. The good guys have even thought of names.
The first ship is the "Lock", followed by the "Milner", the "Matilda", and the "Rhodes". The arrangements are clear.
There are many versions of rumors about aircraft carriers in Southern Africa. The most widely spread is that Southern Africa will receive 80,000 tons, which can be enough to build four aircraft carriers, one each for the Edward Fleet and the Walvis Fleet.
The rumors about battleships are nonsense. Rock himself has not thought of a name for the battleship.
The rumors about the aircraft carrier are completely consistent with Rock's imagination. Rock reported this situation to Philip, and it turns out that there is no smoke without smoke.
"It won't happen now, but it will definitely happen in the future -" Ade understands the British and the MPs in London. Most of them still have to be reserved. In the end, they have to face reality.
If the Royal Navy cannot afford to build a full 80,000-ton aircraft carrier for Southern Africa, it will be a waste. It will not only weaken the Royal Navy, but also alienate Southern Africa. So London seems arrogant, but in fact it is not.
How much choice there is.
"That's good. My sixth child is determined to go to the Naval Academy. He can't stop me. My hair has turned mostly gray in a month." Su Xian also had his own troubles.
Su Xian is also over sixty years old. He has seven children in total. The sixth child will go to university next year. His academic performance is not bad and he is very hopeful to be admitted to Nyasaland University.
Even if you can't get into Nyasaland University, with Su Xian's help, you can easily get into Johannesburg Medical College, and your future is still bright.
It's a pity that Lao Liu was deeply influenced by the ubiquitous patriotic education. Since childhood, he had determined to go to the Naval Academy or the Naval Aviation Corps. If he couldn't, he might as well go to the Marine Corps. Anyway, he had no interest in the medical skills passed down from his family.
"Then let him go. The Naval Academy also has a medical department. It would be good to become a military doctor." Ade's expression was complicated. He had no children and could not understand this kind of emotion.
The laws of Southern Africa stipulate that when a child grows up, in principle, parents cannot interfere too much in their child's choices, including study, work, marriage, etc.
Since you are an adult, you should be able to take responsibility for your own actions.
"That's right. I'll look for Minister Martin later." Su Xian is now very knowledgeable, and the people he comes into contact with are all at the level of ministers and deputy ministers.
This is also the case that care leads to chaos. He also doesn't want to think about it. The Ministry of National Defense has a hands-off boss and several deputy ministers are as busy as spinning tops every day. How can they have time to deal with these small things.
For this kind of thing, it's actually more convenient to contact Martin's secretary. It's actually just a phone call away.
Ade didn't explain these twists and turns, and looked at the concoction prepared by the nurse with a sad expression.
Alas, what about the governor, what about the prime minister, what about the count, they all need to take medicine when they are sick.
Dalang, it’s time to drink medicine——
That's how Ade feels.
The dark brown concoction is steaming with heat and looks very bitter——
It's not bitter, it's hot!
How can the majestic Earl of Harewood be afraid of hardship?
"Drink it while it's hot. It won't be effective when it's cold." Su Xian was watching the fun.
Not all Chinese medicines should be drunk while they are hot, some should be cooled before drinking, and some should be taken warm, that is, neither cold nor hot. The specific situation needs to be analyzed in detail.
Ade's method is to take it hot. It's not that it won't be effective if it's cooled down, but the effect will be worse.
Ade picked up the soup and drank it down with a frown. If he extended his head, it would be a knife. If he retracted his head, it would be a knife. It would be better to just do it.
Su Xian is very satisfied. Patients who cooperate with the doctor's treatment are good patients.
After leaving Ade's room, several people were lining up outside the door waiting to be received by Ade.
Some are here to cry, some are here to brush their faces, and some are sincerely concerned about Ade's health, but the first two are definitely here under the guise of the last.
"Thank you for your hard work, Su——"
"How is Lord Harewood doing?"
"How is Harewood feeling?"
When they saw Su Xian coming out, a group of people immediately gathered around and chatted.
"Lord Harewood has just taken medicine and is resting now. He cannot see guests for a short time." Su Xian had the power to make a final decision at this time. He would not let him see him if he said no, no matter how pitiful he was.
"Su, can you help me give this to Lord Harewood?" Someone wanted Su Xian to help and secretly slipped an envelope to Su Xian.
Su Xian was very familiar with this routine. He said it was for Ade, but in fact it was for Su Xian.
Su Xian didn't even want to squeeze the thickness of the envelope, and waved his hand to refuse: "Sorry, Lord Harewood can't see guests now, he needs to rest."
No matter how much money is in the envelope, it is impossible to bribe Su Xian. What do you think——
It is said that Su Xian is not short of money. As the best doctor in southern Africa, if Su Xian is short of money, many people will come to him with money.
ps: Happy holidays to my brothers, those who are married are reunited, and those who are not married are now single smoothly. Don’t be like me and spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with dogs. Alas, two single dogs are relatively speechless——
