Don’t forget that Kitchener was the British Minister of War during the World War.
Not everyone can put aside their past grudges. After the end of the world war, Kitchener was one of the people who advocated the harshest attitude towards Germany. He could not forget the damage caused to Britain by the world war, so Kitchener could get
One rand is already a good deal, but it's for Adelaide's sake, otherwise Kitchina wouldn't be able to get even a big buck out of it.
Seeing that Kitchener only took out one rand, both Goering and the German Ambassador to Southern Africa, Randolph Pulitzer, looked a little ugly.
Roque did not want to see the conflict intensify, so he directly pulled Kitchina out of the banquet hall.
"Why bother, Marshal?" Rock didn't expect Kitchener to be so stubborn.
"Why bother? Haha, how many people died in the Southern African Expeditionary Force you led during the World War? What a price we paid to win the final victory. Have you forgotten all this?" Kitchina was aggressive, and so was Rock.
One of the commanders of the World War.
Kitchina is a pure soldier, and it is difficult for him to understand the continental equilibrium policy. For Kitchina, only dead Germans are the best Germans. Kitchina would rather give money to beggars on the street.
Don't want to get involved with the Germans.
This is normal. The world war has ended for several years, but vicious security cases against Germans in southern Africa still occur from time to time. There is some hatred that even time cannot dilute.
“Of course I remember, but what’s the use?” Rock admitted that he had ulterior motives, but there were some things he couldn’t tell Kitchener.
"Then why are you so active? I remember that you had the toughest attitude towards Germany. You always said that the "Contract of Versailles" was the damn twenty-year armistice agreement, but look at what you are doing now? You are already degenerating.
Just like those profit-seeking politicians, you have forgotten what you have always insisted on!" Kitchener scolded Roque for his inconsistency. In fact, Kitchener has always admired Roque very much, but now Roque,
Kitchina is so disappointed.
Roque didn’t say anything and walked silently along the path in the garden.
The scenery of Ade's manor is quite good, and the garden is in the style of oriental garden art. Kitchina likes fishing, and Ade likes gardening. In his spare time, Ade's favorite thing is topiary in the garden.
These flowers and plants.
Although it is still summer in Pretoria in February, the weather is not hot. It rained just a few days ago. The air in the garden is extremely fresh and full of the refreshing smell of grass and trees after the rain. In recent years, Pretoria has
Leah has been developing into a tourist city, and the air quality is very good. Rock silently came to sit on a big rock by the side of the road and sat down. He had a lot to say in his heart, but he didn't know where to start.
"When John returned to his hometown, a lady stopped John's car and politely asked John where his three sons were buried." Kitchener sat down next to Rock, her deep voice full of grief,
The "John" he was talking about was John French, the first Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Force during the World War: "I can understand John's mood now. I can't sleep every night. When I close my eyes, my
The figures of those young men who died during the World War will appear before our eyes. They were so brave and energetic. They should have had a good and bright future, but they died in a strange European continent and were buried in unknown hills.
superior"
One victory will lead to thousands of bones being withered. After all, Kitchener is not a butcher like Haig, and he will still suffer from inner suffering.
"I understand how you feel, Marshal." After all, Luo Keqing couldn't let Kitchina live in the past. People always have to face the future: "Nothing is static. The British and French wars have been going on for a hundred years, but in the end we can shake hands and make peace.
The same goes for the relationship with Germany. As long as Germany gives up its demand for the right to speak, we can too."
"What can you do? Shake hands and make peace? Haha, Locke, you are too naive sometimes. We and France have never shaken hands and made peace. We just used each other. Do you still remember the order I gave you during the World War? Don't leave the coastline.
It's too far. If the war situation goes unfavorably, he can lead the British Expeditionary Force back to the homeland at any time and let the French fend for themselves." Kitchener's face was full of sarcasm. He had really given this order.
"Well, there are no permanent friends, no permanent enemies, only permanent interests." What else can Rock say? This is the British. Rock can only use Winston's words to deal with Kitchener.
It seems that this was not what Winston said in the first place.
It’s not important, it’s not important!
The important thing is that as a British field marshal, Kitchener's attitude towards France has always been firm and consistent. This is the standard British.
"That's right, Locke, you have to know that the British Empire has an unprecedented vast territory. We are the real empire on which the sun never sets. Other countries are eager to take our place. If the Germans win the world war, the Germans will
Won't you donate money to us? No, that madman William II will kill all of us British!" Kitchener misunderstood William II. Even if the Germans won the world war, William II would not kill the British.
Kill them all.
After all, William II and George V are still relatives, and their incestuous relationship still needs to be remembered.
But maybe, if you look at how the mustaches treated the Jews during World War II, you will know how terrifying the Germans are when they go crazy.
"I know, but so what, we have to be consistent with London." Rock looked for legal explanations for his actions. Both the upper and lower houses did the same, and Rock had nothing to do.
Crazy, they have allowed workers to lead this country, what else can't be done?" Kitchener's voice was a bit loud, well, this is the aftermath of the Labor Party again.
“Okay, what do you think we should do?” Rock simply kicked the stone to Kitchener.
Kitchinna stared at Roque and couldn't say a word for a long time.
This is also very British. When I am off stage, I can do anything, but when I am on stage, I can do anything.
Representatives in this regard are Ramsay Macdonald and Boris Johnson.
Rock didn’t say anything, and looked at Kitchina quietly, waiting to hear what Kitchinna had to say.
"Okay, I know the problem, but I can't solve it." Kitchina finally nodded and admitted that he couldn't solve this knot.
That's right, it's very difficult to recognize yourself clearly, and it's absolutely impossible to have high ambitions and low abilities.
"Actually, I can't solve it. As you just saw, whether it is Hermann Goering or the one who is thinking in prison, they are a huge threat to our British Empire. I don't know what they can do in the future.
No matter how far we go, what I know is that even if the Germans provoke another world war, I will have enough confidence to defeat them!" Rock was more confident than anyone else at this time. For someone like Goering, Rock could defeat them every minute.
Call him Meyer.
“He looks like the Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Force. He is indeed worthy of being the one I selected!” Kitchina laughed loudly and patted Roark on the shoulder hard, boasting.
Let me go and I can blow it!
Roque himself felt embarrassed, and the little old man was too half-hearted when he was excited.
Rock and Kitchener did not return to the banquet hall, but went directly to the Governor's Palace in Kitchener.
The next day, Ade blocked Kitchina, who was about to go fishing by the river, and Roque, who was about to go to work to fish, in the Governor's Mansion early in the morning.
“Oh, you didn’t get drunk with that German yesterday?” Kitchina was still sarcastic when she saw Ade, and the little old man was quite vindictive.
"Marshal, were you crazy yesterday? Why did you embarrass the Germans in front of them? Even if you don't like Germans, you won't put the words "I don't like Germans" on your face. Do you know how many people there are now?
Do Germans live in southern Africa? Even I have German ancestry, do you want me to drive them out of southern Africa?" Ade was furious, not because Kitchina didn't give Göring face, but because Kitchina didn't care about the overall situation.
.
"Alfred, you know I have no problem with you." Kitchener was also helpless. He wore a fisherman's hat, a vest and slippers, just like other retired old men.
"So you are saying you have opinions against other Germans? Don't forget that you are the Governor of Southern Africa. Your words and deeds represent the king and Southern Africa. You cannot act arbitrarily based on your own heart." Ade was furious and all arrived.
At this age, I still don’t understand this truth, and my years have passed like a dog.
Roque had just come downstairs. As soon as he reached the top of the stairs, he heard Ade scolding Kitchina. He secretly turned around and went upstairs to take a nap.
"Locke, and you." Ade frowned, looking at how Locke didn't like it, but for a while he couldn't find the angle to reprimand Locke: "You are the Minister of Defense, don't just live in the Governor's Mansion.
"Although you have a good relationship with the Governor, you must also pay attention to the influence. When you become the Governor, it will not be too late to live in the Governor's Mansion."
Looking at it from this angle, Rock almost collapsed.
“I know the former Prime Minister, I’m going to contact Cecil to see what kind of gift is most appropriate to give to the German people.” Roque is not angry. Adelaide is usually too calm and needs to vent from time to time to be more conducive to physical and mental health.
“Wait a minute, Locke, let’s go together.” Kitchina wasn’t angry either. He felt as if he had done something bad and was caught by the teacher.
Oops, you are already several decades old. It’s really exciting.
Having just left the house and not yet gotten in the car, Louis hurried over and said: "My lord, just now, Mr. Hermann Goering had a conflict with a gentleman in the hotel and is now being taken to the police station."
"What's going on?" Before Luo Ke could speak, Kitchina's eyes immediately lit up.
Kitchener really likes to see the Germans being unlucky.
