In fact, Rock can also understand why the British Parliament did this.
The British Empire is waning, and Southern Africa is prospering. The British Parliament always looks for opportunities to brush up its presence and disgust Southern Africa, so as to satisfy the British's inner sense of superiority.
The problem is that the British Empire now has less and less influence on southern Africa, and has fewer and fewer cards to play against southern Africa, so it can only dislike southern Africa in this regard.
I have to say that this move really made Rock feel disgusted.
However, Rock is not a character who endures humiliation. If he is disgusted, he will fight back harder. He must let the British Parliament know that this road is blocked.
"Locke, there is no malice in the London Parliament granting honorary white status to the Chinese in Southern Africa. This just proves that the London Parliament is improving the social status of the Chinese in Southern Africa. Isn't this what you dream of?" Kitchener still doesn't understand Locke.
It is probably believed that all Asians are willing to leave Asia and join Europe.
"Marshal, there is no difference in personality between Chinese people in Southern Africa and white people. The so-called honorary white people cannot improve the social status of Chinese people. If Chinese people in Southern Africa accept this title, it just proves that Chinese people in Southern Africa are inferior. This is all
This is unacceptable to the Chinese people in Southern Africa, and it is also unacceptable to the federal government of Southern Africa." Roque disagreed with Kitchener's statement. At least in Southern Africa, Chinese and white people are equal.
“Locke, don’t forget that the current international rules are still made by white people!” Kitchina also had a cold expression. He still had traditional colonial thinking in his heart, and he would not change just because he had a good relationship with Locke.
Perhaps, otherwise Kitchener would not have told Rock the so-called "good news" at the first time.
At least in Kitchin's view, this is indeed good news.
"Rules are meant to be broken." Rock refused to give in. Both he and Kitchener represented the interests of different groups and there was no way to retreat.
"You need to calm down and remember your identity. If you make the wrong choice, it will cause the entire southern Africa to be excluded from civilized society. This is definitely not what you want." Kitchener knew that the quarrel would be fruitless, and even
He turned around and left without saying "goodbye".
Rock is not angry, since Kitchener never said goodbye before, and he never knocked on the door when he came to see Rock.
“Good morning, Marshal.” The person queuing up at the door was Owen from India. He greeted Kitchinna politely.
Kitchina was furious, nodded casually and hurried away.
Owen was smart enough not to ask and continued the topic from last night.
"Marshal, you have also worked in India. You should know that Indians are abominable. Those Indians should not be left in this world. They are worthless except for consuming food." Owen said wildly.
Rock smiled politely on the surface and nodded repeatedly, but in fact he didn't listen at all. Owen's words fell on deaf ears.
Rock does not want the status of "honorary white man", which is certainly very rare among Indians.
If Indians knew that Chinese people in southern Africa were awarded the title of "honorary white people", I wonder if Indians would go crazy with jealousy.
If you think about it this way, Indians are indeed a good target for utilization.
Moreover, the weakness of the British Empire is not just India. There are many ways to make the British Empire feel uncomfortable, but the methods must be more subtle and cannot leave any obvious clues. Kitchener is at least right about one thing. If Southern Africa wants to maintain its current situation
development momentum, then we should keep a low profile and try to avoid the expansion of conflicts.
In fact, expansion does not matter. If the relationship between southern Africa and the British Empire deteriorates, then the Americans will be very happy.
The French will be happy too.
Japanese people will be happier.
The Germans will also be happy
The Germans should be the happiest. If Southern Africa still maintains good relations with the British Empire, to put it bluntly, it will be a question of whether or not it will dare to launch World War II after Mustache comes to power.
But if southern Africa breaks away from the British Empire
Thinking about this, Rock immediately became completely black.
George V is currently in southern Africa
"Marshal, marshal, marshal." Owen's expression was broken. His mouth was dry as he spoke, but he didn't get any response from Rock.
Look carefully, Rock's focus is not even on Irving, but looking behind Irving.
Orving looked back subconsciously.
Behind is a large bare white wall.
real
It’s really quite simple.
"I'm sorry Owen, I'm listening," Rock finally came back to his senses.
Owen said nothing, his expression stubborn.
Even if the title of a marquis is higher than that of a baron, even if the national power of southern Africa is stronger than that of India, even if Owen served under Rock during the World War
Oh, forget it, since your attitude is so sincere, I'll forgive you.
"Marshal, what I mean is" Owen is really depressed. The Governor-General of India is also a Governor-General, and the Governor-General cannot be treated as a cadre.
But thinking that Rock had just defeated a governor, Owen immediately lost his confidence.
"Okay!" Rock agreed simply, keeping in his stomach a lot of the reasons Owen prepared to use to convince Rock.
Winston came to see Rock in the afternoon. He didn’t need to make an appointment to see Rock. He could jump in line at any time.
“Did you quarrel with the old marshal?” Winston asked cautiously.
“The London Parliament wants to ride on the neck of southern Africa, what do you want me to do?” Rock was still angry, and he felt angry all day long.
"It's not as serious as you said. London also wants to improve the social status of Chinese people in southern Africa. Chinese people in southern Africa will not be discriminated against, but what about around the world?" Winston said with sincerity and a different stance.
The conclusion is naturally different.
“Ha!” Rock said simply and clearly.
Winston's reason is not valid. The Oklahoma State Legislature declared Sarah to be white, which did not help the social status of other black people.
The double standards of white people are so direct that we cannot use common sense to measure them.
"Perhaps the London Assembly did not consider it, but you have to admit that this is very helpful for improving the social status of the Chinese. The Commonwealth has accepted the current situation in southern Africa. This is a good thing and you should be happy." Winston also admitted that the London Assembly
The purpose is not simple, but Winston also has a position.
“Winston, does the London Parliament accept the status quo in southern Africa because of the Chinese people in southern Africa, or does it accept the status quo in southern Africa because of its strength?” Rock’s question was sharp.
"Locke, Southern Africa is indeed very powerful now, but it has not yet reached the level of changing the international order. Think about it. Should you accept this reality or become an enemy of the whole world? This question is not without an answer." Winston said.
It's a bit heavy. Even if southern Africa breaks away from the British Empire, it doesn't mean it is an enemy of the whole world.
"Come on, Winston, you know what the London Assembly means. They just want to disgust southern Africans, and not just the Chinese in southern Africa, but all southern Africans, because the current southern Africa was built by the joint efforts of everyone.
"" Roque did not shy away from saying that the British Parliament did have sinister intentions. It disgusted the Chinese people in southern Africa and at the same time created social divisions in southern Africa. How vicious it was.
In the evening, Roark was going to hold a dinner for George V and his wife at the Palace of Justice. When he went home to change clothes, Phyllis hesitated to speak. She obviously also knew about the conflict between Roark, Kitchener, and Winston.
"Don't worry, Southern Africa is now capable of dealing with any accident." Roque is confident. In addition to the United States, Japan, Germany and France, don't forget that there is Russia in the north. There are many potential allies in Southern Africa.
To put it bluntly, the world has been suffering from heroes for a long time. All it takes is someone to rise up.
It just so happened that the British Parliament did not forget to add sand to southern Africa under such circumstances. Rock didn't even know what to say.
"I know that no matter what decision you make, I will support you unreservedly." Phyllis supports Roark unconditionally. The two have been together for decades, and they still have this tacit understanding.
Roque gave Phyllis a big hug, and when he appeared at the dinner, he was a tough prime minister who was fearless.
This time it was Rock's turn to give the welcome speech.
"It has been almost 20 years since the establishment of the Federal Government of Southern Africa. Over the past 20 years, we have united as one to build a strong and rich Southern Africa. We are fearless and face any difficulties calmly. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Alfred Milner,
, and under the leadership of Prime Minister Philip Matilda, Southern Africa has survived the most difficult stage. Now, Southern Africa has the ability to face any difficulties and is confident to defeat any enemy. We have never provoked disputes, but we have never been afraid.
Any challenge, anyone who wants to make enemies of the 67 million southern Africans must be prepared to be destroyed." Roque showed his sharpness in his welcome speech. At this time, he had to take his seat. Roque did not mention his name anyway.
While Rock was giving a welcome speech, the Southern African officials automatically lined up behind Rock, including Buck, Owen, Stoudemire, Young Smuts, Ada, and Ade and Philip.
They all know what happened. At this special moment, they choose to advance and retreat together with southern Africa.
Kitchina stood in the corner of the banquet hall, with a solemn expression, alone, and the wine in his hand spilled all over the floor without even noticing.
George V and Queen Mary were opposite Roque. They seemed to have no idea what was happening. They listened to Roque's speech with a smile. They were surrounded by two princes, as well as John Bald, Stanley Bruce, and Julian Bean.
, Owen, Winston and other important imperial ministers.
"The world has entered a new era. We are facing unprecedented challenges. There will still be ups and downs, thorns, conflicts, and wars in the future. How to continue to go further in this new era is worth thinking about together."
Roque did not wish His Majesty the King a long life, nor did he wish the British Empire eternal prosperity. As for what George V thought, Roque had no control over it.
