After becoming Prime Minister, Roque realized how busy the Prime Minister's work is.
The Prime Minister of Southern Africa is also the leader of the Southern African Union. There are five countries and regions, nearly 10 million square kilometers of land, and a total population of more than 80 million. Every minor issue must be reported to the federal government, and the Prime Minister will make the final decision.
No wonder Adelaide and Philippe both suffered from illnesses after they became prime ministers. It is necessary to pay close attention to every detail. One term can be exhausting to death, and even an iron man cannot hold on.
Fortunately, Roque knew how to be lazy and did not worry that delegating power would lead to strong branches and weak cadres. It only took half a day for Roque to make clear arrangements for the Prime Minister's work.
Do the Departments of Education and Health need to allocate funds to implement a state of emergency?
Go to the Ministry of Finance to make a report and then submit it to the Parliament for approval.
Are the Transvaal, Orange and Cape where the epidemic is most severe already out of control?
The Ministry of the Interior was ordered to mobilize supplies to strengthen epidemic prevention material support to the three states, and major medical schools were ordered to mobilize elite troops to support the medical forces in the three states.
This is not an experience learned from COVID-19. The COVID-19 outbreak had not yet occurred when Rock traveled through time. This is an experience learned from SARS.
Pirates appeared in Southeast Asia, and merchant ships in southern Africa were hijacked?
Order the Ministry of National Defense to deal with it immediately——
Oh oh oh, Rock almost forgot that he is the Minister of Defense.
This is easy to handle. Southeast Asia is the defense zone of the Indian Ocean Fleet. Isn't the Indian Ocean Fleet currently conducting joint exercises with the Mediterranean Fleet? We can dispatch a few more warships to the Lion City and hold a joint exercise with the British Eastern Fleet. The content is to jointly combat piracy.
In fact, whether the work is busy or not depends on whether the Palace of Justice is willing to delegate power. The federal government does not only have the Prime Minister, but also the departments and agencies. The ministers earn thousands of rands a year. They can sit in that position regardless of their professionalism.
No matter how capable I am, I still have the ability to work.
Although Roque is a temporary prime minister and should have a lot of power, all Roque has to do is divide the work into various departments of the federal government, constantly monitor the progress of the work, and finally review the work results.
In fact, Roque does not need to do this part of the work personally. The Ministry of Justice and Bullard's office have joined forces, and there are almost no blind spots in the entire Southern African Union.
The federal governments in Southern Africa are relatively responsible at all levels. This is not the first time they have experienced a state of emergency, so they will not be in a hurry. Social order will definitely be affected to a certain extent, but it is within an acceptable range.
After the state of emergency was implemented, the Immigration Department was most affected.
Especially immigrants who entered southern Africa through Port Edward, their physical fitness is generally not very good, their resistance to diseases is seriously insufficient, and they are most affected.
Fortunately, the overall situation in Nyasaland is not bad. In recent years, the Nyasaland state government has been promoting national fitness and improving physical fitness. Now it has finally achieved results. Although among all states in southern Africa, the population of Nyasaland is
At most, the situation in Nyasaland is not serious, and it is even capable of providing support to the three Transvaal states where the epidemic is more serious.
"Major hospitals have dispatched elite troops to three states for support. Light industry groups are also working overtime to increase production capacity and make every effort to ensure the supply of medical supplies. The Ministry of Transport has opened green channels for medical supplies and staff to ensure the circulation of supplies.
Smooth traffic. Rural areas are not a big problem because there is less circulation of people. The most severely affected are cities. Cape Town and Pretoria have already implemented curfews. The situation in Orange State is more serious, with a lack of medical supplies and a lack of jobs.
Lack of personnel, lack of funds - a lack of everything." Both Douglas and Orange Governor Young Smoots are facing huge difficulties, and Young Smoots has called Roark, hoping that the federal government can give him some help.
More aid for Orange State.
Since Young Smoots became governor of Orange State, things are getting better in Orange State.
However, after all, Yang Smuts' time as governor was too short. It will take time for Yang Smuts to fundamentally improve the situation in Orange State.
"At this time, every state is short of money and people-" Henry's opinion of Yang Shimo's capitalists has improved, but he still has prejudices against the Orange State.
This cannot be blamed on Henry. From the first day when the Southern African federal government was established, Orange State began to hold back Southern Africa. It constantly asked for money and food, and from time to time it also found trouble with the federal government. That’s it.
The two prime ministers, De and Philippe, have never been free to solve the problem of Orange. Otherwise, the Orange State would not have been like this all these years.
"Now is not the time to discuss this issue. In the face of difficulties, the federal government is a whole, and we cannot leave the Orange State alone." Since Roque has been appointed as interim prime minister, he must assume the responsibilities of interim prime minister.
Since Orange State is part of southern Africa, Rock cannot leave Orange State alone. Otherwise, if the situation in Orange State cannot be effectively controlled, Transvaal and Cape, which are close to Orange State,
Even the whole of southern Africa will be affected.
"Assigning staff from medical schools to Orange, materials and funds must also be allocated accordingly." Roque will not be stingy when it comes to what he has to do.
Sending teachers and students from schools to participate in rescue operations is a tradition left over from the World War. It is precisely because of this that Southern Africa's medical capabilities have reached a higher level.
Now this fine tradition must not be forgotten. In recent years, the Johannesburg Medical College has been upgraded to the Johannesburg Medical University. The medical school that was independent from the University of Nyasaland has also been upgraded to the Medical University of Nyasaland. The Ministry of Defense established it ten years ago.
Military medical universities have spread throughout southern Africa, and the teachers and students of these medical schools are Roque's biggest trump card.
It's just the biggest, not the last. The medical force of the military in southern Africa is also very strong. However, the military's medical force has not been invested yet.
"It's just a cold. Is there any need to make such a big deal?" Henry actually didn't care too much. After the emergency state was implemented, the interests of the company would also be greatly affected.
How do you call influenza? It seems inconspicuous, but in fact it is very lethal. Thousands of people die from influenza in southern Africa every year, and its lethality is no less than other major diseases.
"Fighting influenza is just one reason. Through this state of emergency, we need to increase people's attention to national fitness. At the same time, we must also examine the mobilization capabilities of the federal government. This is very important for our future." Roque said carefully, now
The world is very different from the world that Rock is familiar with. Rock himself is not sure whether the inevitable World War II will be the same as in another time and space, also on September 1, 1939.
break out.
In this case, Rock must always be prepared. Look at the First World War. The British mobilization speed was relatively fast. After the war broke out, they announced a nationwide general mobilization. As a result, the time to complete the general mobilization had already arrived after the outbreak of the world war.
the third year.
The performance of the United States is also worrying. The United States did not decide to join the war until the third year after the outbreak of the world war. The first batch of soldiers landed in France half a year later, and it took another half a year to enter the battle.
Relatively speaking, Germany's mobilization is the fastest in the world. Wilhelm II has just announced the nationwide mobilization. More than one million veterans have been assembled in just two weeks, and then sent out with only simple training.
On the battlefield, the hastily assembled British and French forces were defeated.
The British and French allied forces began to counterattack, and that was only after the Southern African Expeditionary Force entered the war.
Rock didn't want to hear Mustache's voice on the radio one morning, and then the Southern African Expeditionary Force arrived in the European battlefield a year later.
If this situation really happens, let alone France can resist for a few days, it is uncertain whether Britain can hold the English Channel.
If Germany really lands on British soil, it will be useless even if southern Africa joins the war.
This is not alarmist. If Germany really landed in the UK, it is estimated that the United States would not wait until Pearl Harbor to join the war. Moreover, the choice of the Americans would still be a problem. What if the United States also joins the Axis powers?
Then it's all over. With Germany's military strength and the industrial strength of the United States, I'm afraid southern Africa will only be able to stay in a corner.
When Roque decided to increase aid to Orange State, Yang Smuts also held an emergency meeting at the governor's residence in Bloemfontein.
"Pretoria and Cape Town have both started curfews, and Bloemfontein will also start a curfew starting today. People are prohibited from going out after 6 pm unless necessary. The Palace of Justice has agreed to send the National Guard to assist in enforcement. Any
Anyone who violates the curfew must be punished in the most severe manner." Young Smooth's authority in Orange State was similar to Roque's authority in Nyasaland.
As soon as Yang Shimozi finished speaking, the officials participating in the meeting looked at each other.
Some states in southern Africa are very wary of the military. Cape State once almost caused a conflict between the local government and the federal government because of Edward's fleet's interference in local affairs.
The situation is the same in Orange State. The marginalization of the Boers in southern Africa has intensified the conflict between Orange State and the federal government. After Yang Smuts came to Orange State as governor, Orange State
Although the relationship between the state and the federal government has improved, to completely change the thinking of Orange people, I am afraid that it will have to wait until all Orange people of this generation are dead.
We also need to ensure that the thoughts of this generation of Orangemen will not affect the thoughts of the next generation of Orangemen.
This is almost impossible. The first education everyone receives comes from family, and the family is the one who is most affected. It is difficult to change by school education alone.
"Abandon those wrong ideas in the past. If Orange State wants to truly integrate into southern Africa, we must first start with our own changes." Yang Smuts has a firm attitude and will not allow Orange State to continue to be independent from the federal government.
