Of course, the clean-up operations in Southern Africa are different from the clean-up operations in the general sense. If it were done in other countries, it would probably be a concentration camp massacre, but not in Southern Africa.
There are many Germans and Austrians living in southern Africa. Although some of them have evil intentions, most of them still keep to themselves. There are mature German and Austrian communities in Los Angeles. It is unrealistic to drive all these people out of southern Africa.
Roark's approach was to treat them differently. Ted Bach, who committed suicide by taking poison, had been lurking for an unknown amount of time before he got a chance to get close to Roark. This also sounded the alarm to the Ministry of Defense and Brad's office. In the future, people around Roark
The review of staff will become more stringent.
On October 20, Roque returned to Pretoria, and Philip also arrived in southern Africa on the same day, less than 100 days before the handover ceremony of the Prime Minister.
"The winter in London is terrible, smog, dust, votes, distrust - Prime Minister Baldwin hopes you can visit London as soon as possible. When are you going to go?" Philip conveyed to Roque the message of the new British Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin.
Invitation, if the new Prime Minister of Southern Africa wants to visit, the first stop will definitely be the United Kingdom.
"As you said, the winter in London is so bad, I'll wait for a while before going there." Rock is not in a hurry. He will definitely go to the UK, but southern Africa is so far away from Europe, so he needs to go to as many places as possible in one trip.
France is definitely the country to go to. Depending on the situation in Germany, it may be necessary to take a detour to the United States.
Although Americans don't like Rock.
Just two months ago, the United States also held a national election for the 36th president. This time Hoover failed to defeat fellow Republican candidate John Calvin Coolidge and sadly left the White House.
Unlike the uncontroversial elections in Southern Africa, Coolidge's victory this time was very thrilling. He and Hoover conducted a total of 103 rounds of voting during the party's primaries. Neither of them could obtain a majority advantage, and they finally had to choose.
A compromise plan was for Coolidge and Hoover to run together. Because Coolidge's support in the Republican Party was slightly higher than Hoover's, Coolidge was the main candidate.
After Coolidge won the election, an accident occurred. His youngest son, Calvin, suffered a blister while playing tennis at the White House and later died of an infection in the wound.
A small blister can lead to wound infection and death. This is still in the White House of the United States. It is really unimaginable.
The last time Rock went to the United States, he met Coolidge, but did not have a close relationship with him.
However, Roque has a good relationship with Hoover. I believe that after Roque comes to power, the relationship between southern Africa and the United States will ease somewhat and will not be as tense as it is now.
"The current situation in London is not very good. The situation faced by Prime Minister Baldwin is very serious. He will definitely make some excessive demands then. You must be prepared." Philip reminded Rock. It seems that he is in London during this time and will not be able to do anything.
Encountered a similar situation.
The current situation in the UK is indeed very bad. The cabinet has been dissolved twice within a year, which has brought huge uncertainty to British politics.
Although the Conservative Party regained its majority position in this general election, Stanley Baldwin faced a very serious situation.
Although Ramsay Macdonald only served as Prime Minister for a short time, he left Stanley Baldwin with a lot of trouble.
During Ramsay Macdonald's reign, although no proposal was ever passed in the House of Commons, he still used the power of Prime Minister to pass some welfare policies, which not only included the construction of 500,000 municipal houses for low-income families.
, also stipulates that the working hours of women and children will be reduced from 54 hours to 48 hours per week, and an additional subsidy of 50 pounds per person will be obtained for British veterans.
These benefits were Ramsay Macdonald's greatest political achievement and Stanley Baldwin's biggest trouble.
When the Labor Party was in power, although it performed poorly, it actually achieved welfare for the British people.
Now that the Conservative Party is in power again, if Stanley Baldwin does not continue Ramsay Macdonald's policies, the Conservative Party will lose the advantage it has so hard to regain.
However, increasing the welfare of ordinary people will bring a heavier burden to the British government and British enterprises. Therefore, Stanley Baldwin's biggest trouble now is how to satisfy the British people's increasing needs without arousing strong opposition from domestic capitalists.
Increased welfare requirements.
Looking at it this way, the answer is almost obvious. If we want to stabilize the domestic situation, we can only transfer domestic conflicts to the colonies or overseas autonomous territories.
Southern Africa has become the best choice.
"I know, but the Prime Minister will probably be disappointed. Southern Africa will not pay for Britain's mistakes." Roque has a bottom line and is easy to talk and discuss. He can talk about anything.
If Stanley Baldwin used the name of the mother country to exploit southern Africa——
Sorry, southern Africa is not India of non-violence and non-cooperation.
By the way, there is also India, which is another "political legacy" left by Ramsay Macdonald to Stanley Baldwin.
During the World War, in order to gain India's full support, the British government promised to give India and other overseas dominions the same autonomous status after the war.
As a result, the British government turned ruthless after the war and overturned all previous promises. India was still the same India, and its status in the Commonwealth remained unchanged.
This result is obviously unacceptable to the Indian princes and nobles. They have been demanding negotiations with the British government and hope that the British government will fulfill its promise.
In the past, neither Winston nor Stanley Baldwin turned a blind eye to the Indians' demands.
But when it came to Ramsay Macdonald, the Prime Minister who also served as Foreign Secretary and focused his work on Europe actually gave the Indians a promise and was willing to start negotiations with the Indians in this regard at the appropriate time.
Now, the Indians who had almost given up hope once again saw hope. If Stanley Baldwin overturns Ramsay MacDonald's promise again, how long can the Indians' patience last?
Not to mention whether the Indians can endure it, as a powerful "empire on which the sun never sets", if they continue to go back on their word, it will also cause irreparable damage to the national image of the British Empire. This loss cannot be quantified.
"Just be prepared. I'm going to Johannesburg for vacation in a few days. Are the children okay?" Philip's term of office has less than 100 days left. Now Philip has accepted the reality. As long as he spends these 100 days safely,
, Philip was satisfied.
"It's good, but Phyllis is still worried about Gavin choosing biology." Rock is also willing to talk to Philip about some family issues. After leaving the Palace of Justice, Philip's focus will return to his family, and it's time to enjoy it.
Family happiness can never be like that of Kitchinna, who goes fishing every day.
Returning to the Ministry of National Defense, Martin brought over a list. The people on the list were considered to need to be re-examined. Before passing the assessment, they would be transferred to remote areas or serve overseas.
It is said to be an assessment, but in fact if nothing happens, it will be difficult for those on the list to return to Pretoria unless they have made major achievements.
"Have they all been reviewed?" Roque looked through the list, feeling a little heavy.
There is a thick list of 107 people in total, and their resumes are also included in the document. Many of them have worked in the Ministry of Defense for many years, and some have even received national honors at the level of medals.
"Yes, they have all been reviewed. Most of them are going to report to the League of Nations. Angel's term is about to end. Do you want to transfer Patton back?" Martin is Rock's default secretary of defense. Unlike other positions,
The position of Minister of Defense is too important, and Roque must be firmly in his hands to feel at ease.
Martin is one of Rock's first old brothers, and Rock still has great trust in Martin.
After Roque takes office in the Palace of Justice, he will make adjustments to the chief officers of each force. Angel has decided to leave the League of Nations peacekeeping force. Her replacement will be French general Charles Mangin who performed outstandingly in the Second Battle of the Marne.
Like Angel, Barton is also a confidant brought up by Rock.
During his time in the Atlantic Fleet, Patton performed outstandingly. He not only withstood the pressure of the United States and led the Atlantic Fleet to gain a foothold in Halifax, but also conducted in-depth cooperation with the Canadian government, helping the Canadian government establish an air force, train troops, and obtain Canada's
Trust in government.
Although Rock's trust in Martin is still the same as before, relatively speaking, Rock still trusts Angel and Barton who brought him out single-handedly.
Compared with Martin who became a monk halfway, Angel and Barton have both received systematic education. In the past few years in the League of Nations and the Atlantic Fleet, Angel and Barton have grown up very quickly and have the ability to stand alone. Although they are still a little young,
However, with Roque's pearls in front, even if he is transferred back to the Ministry of National Defense to take up an important position, it will not cause too much controversy.
It cannot be said that they are young. Angel and Barton are now in their thirties, and it is time to take on more responsibilities. When Roque was their age, he had already served as the Minister of Defense for Southern Africa.
"Of course, the joint command will be established soon, and both Barton and An Qi will be transferred back -" Rock signed the document directly, already having a clue about the subsequent adjustments.
Roque cannot discuss these matters with Martin. Although Roque trusts Martin very much, after Roque leaves the Ministry of Defense, he must disperse the power in the hands of the Secretary of Defense.
When Roque was the Minister of Defense, the power in the hands of the Minister of Defense was too great. To put it bluntly, even if Roque wanted to rebel, the Prime Minister had no ability to resist.
After Roque became prime minister, he would definitely not allow this situation to continue to exist. The purpose of transferring Angel and Barton back was to strengthen control over the Ministry of National Defense and disperse the power in Martin's hands. Martin also knew this well.
