Ade did not live in a nursing home, nor did he live in the mansion provided by the federal government for Ade. He lived in a general ward at the west end of the third floor of Ziwei Hospital.
Adelaide really doesn’t have high material requirements. When Adelaide left office and returned to the UK in his early years, the house he lived in was rented. He really had no money to buy it. He couldn’t find a way to make money, and he didn’t let Sidney Mill.
to engage in any business.
Adé had a rich resume in his life. He had been a lawyer, a newspaper editor, the chief executive of Egypt, the chairman of the tax committee, and he had served as governor-general and prime minister in southern Africa for nearly 20 years.
If Ade wants to make money, there are plenty of opportunities.
After Adelaide retires, the annual pension paid to Adelaide by the federal government of Southern Africa is about 15,000 rand. Adding the income from the title received from the British government and various publishing income, Adelaide's annual income is about 50,000 rand.
Especially around.
After so many years, Adelaide has not saved a penny. Adelaide will donate the pension paid to Adelaide by the federal government unchanged to the foundation in Phyllis' name every year.
The salary given by the British government will be donated to the Military Service Society to help veterans who have been disabled due to injuries.
The income from the publishing house was donated to the Johannesburg Medical College to reward the most outstanding students.
The Johannesburg Medical College established the Milner Foundation in the name of Ade, extending the scope of scholarships to the entire southern Africa. The Milner Scholarship established by the foundation is second only to the Matilda Scholarship in influence in southern Africa, and
Rock Scholarship established in Rock's name.
The Rhodes Scholarship established by the Rhodes family is mainly awarded to international students. This is for a special purpose and its influence is actually not high. Only students who are qualified to receive the Rhodes Scholarship will enter the scope of the Rhodes Scholarship.
scope.
As early as 20 years ago, Ade wrote a suicide note early, and after his death, he would donate all remaining properties to the federal government of Southern Africa.
Adelaide also has a request from the federal government. His funeral is not allowed to be held with much fanfare, nor is a monument built in his name. The city of Milner is a special case. Adelaide does not want streets or squares to be named after him. He hopes that the city of Milner will be named after him.
Keneng chose the most inconspicuous place in the national cemetery to bury him, and the tombstone said: A veteran is buried here.
Southern Africa is lucky to have such a Governor-General and Prime Minister.
What makes Rock happy is that southern Africans have not forgotten this old man who dedicated his life to southern Africa.
When Rock came to Ziwei Hospital, the streets outside Ziwei Hospital were crowded with people praying for Ade. The iron railings of the hospital were covered with various garlands, and various warm blessings were written on colorful papers.
, many people held up homemade cardboard, and the most frequent words were: God bless, I hope you get better soon!
The main entrance of Ziwei Hospital was crowded with reporters who came to interview, and their camera tripods were densely packed. Many of them had been gathering at the entrance of Ziwei Hospital for more than a month, just to get first-hand news as soon as possible.
Everyone knows that Rock's car is the Army One specially customized for Rock by Nyasaland Heavy Industry. This is a car with a defensive capability comparable to that of an armored vehicle. The body has been specially reinforced and protective steel plates are installed on the doors.
The tires are also explosion-proof, and the latest air conditioning system is installed in the car.
Army No. 1 entered the hospital under the protection of Secret Service security personnel and parked directly in the underground parking lot. Su Wei, the director of the hospital, had been waiting in the underground parking lot for a long time. He is Su Xian's eldest son and the chief expert of the Ministry of Health in Southern Africa.
.
Su Xian’s three sons and two daughters all work in the health system in Southern Africa. Su Xian himself has long retired and serves as the chief consultant of the Ministry of Health in Southern Africa. He lives in Pretoria all year round and serves as Adelaide’s health doctor.
It lasted for thirty years.
"How is the situation?" Rock walked to understand the situation.
"It's very bad. Lord Milner has fallen into a deep coma now, and his heartbeat may stop at any time." Su Wei looked sad. He and the doctors at Ziwei Hospital had tried their best, but still could not prevent Ade's health from deteriorating.
This is not to blame Su Wei, Ade, who was born in 1854, is now 88 years old. According to the current average life expectancy, it is a standard longevity.
In another time and space, Ade was left idle after retiring as governor-general and returned to the UK. He died in depression in 1925.
The appearance of Rock changed the fate of many people. Ad in another time and space lived for 71 years. In this time and space, his life span was extended by 17 years. It can be seen that mood is still very important for health.
Like Ade, another person influenced by Rock was Kitchinna.
In another time and space, Kitchina was attacked by a German submarine while traveling to Russia on a cruiser during World War I. Kitchinna was killed along with the ship.
Kitchina is now 92 years old and is still in very good health. He can eat half a catty of meat in one meal and will probably have no problem living to be a hundred years old.
Kitchinna is now in Su Wei's ward, and Su Xian is accompanying him. Kitchinna has just lost his temper at Su Wei, asking Su Wei to save Ade's life no matter what.
"God, what happened - Gavin, I haven't seen you for a few days, why have you aged so much?" When Kitchener saw Roark, he mistook Roark for Gavin.
Kitchina, like Ade, has never been married, so naturally he has no children.
Ade also has his nephew Sidney Milner, and Kitchener doesn’t even have a child with him. So every time Gavin and Alvin return to Pretoria, they visit Kitchener and tell Kitchener about him.
Respect them as elders.
"Marshal, have you become so dim-sighted with old age?" Roque couldn't laugh or cry. He actually took good care of himself. He still had abdominal muscles for a man in his sixties, and he didn't have many wrinkles on his face. He did have a lot of white hair.
Less, but because of this, the hair turned into a more attractive gray-white color.
"Oh, it turns out to be the insidious Locke. You came just in time. You are the Prime Minister of Southern Africa. Come and tell Su Wei that if he can't restore Alfred to health, you will kick him to the front line to serve.
"Kitchinna still has a hot temper. I don't know since when, Rock has become "the insidious Locke" in Kitchina's mouth.
This has a lot to do with Rock's style of doing things.
Rock, or most Southern Africans, do not do things as openly as Americans.
Americans have a lot of money in their pockets, and they would like to brag about it to a hundred people, so that everyone in the world will know that they are rich.
Southern Africans are very low-key. The old man who wears a crew-neck shirt and large pants and slippers on the street, holds a pipe in his mouth and walks his dog with a South African mastiff in his hand may be a millionaire whose family owns thousands of acres of farms.
Young people who have just graduated live in a single apartment, often take the tram to and from get off work, and cook for themselves in order to save money, and their lives are very tight.
In fact, many of them are not without money. If they want to buy a house in a big city like Pretoria or Los Angeles, it is easy for them to just ask their families.
But they won’t do that, at least they won’t buy a house immediately after graduation. They have a more clear pursuit and know what they want.
In big cities in southern Africa, housing prices are highly polarized. In wealthy areas with beautiful scenery, housing prices are sky-high. However, these are not for ordinary people. Housing prices in communities prepared for ordinary people are not outrageous. If you choose to buy a house with a loan,
It is not difficult for young people who have just graduated.
Nowadays, Southern Africa has passed the primitive stage of capital accumulation. Local governments in Southern Africa do not rely on selling land to make money, but rely more on taxation. Among them, luxury goods tax and inheritance tax are the highest levied. Of course, there is also real estate tax, but for first-time home owners,
There is no tax, so the property tax has little bearing on ordinary people, it only targets rich people like Rock and Stoudemire.
Income redistribution in Southern Africa is also good. The government encourages private investment in public projects with tax incentives and other policies. After private companies operate for a period of time, the federal government will take back the projects. In this way, the private companies gain profits and the people feel development.
With dividends, the federal government has met the needs of the whole society without spending a penny.
In addition to ensuring the operation of government agencies, the revenue of federal governments at all levels is used more to ensure the welfare of the people, especially education and medical care, which are of greatest concern to the people. Southern Africa has the most advanced public education system and medical standards in the world.
That's why Rock agreed to Adelaide receiving treatment at Ziwei Hospital, because the medical level of Ziwei Hospital is not low, and there are nursing homes in southern Africa that are only open to veterans who are disabled due to injuries.
Southern Africa is not high-profile, but its industrial capabilities have gradually surpassed that of Britain. Now it has become the nurse of the entire Allies, leaving even the high-profile Americans far behind.
So in the eyes of many Europeans, Roque is indeed a bit sinister.
But only Kitchina dared to say it to his face.
"Kick him to the front line, then won't he be able to enjoy the glory that belongs to a soldier?" Roque followed Kitchina's wishes and said.
"Yes, yes, you can't be so easy on him." Su Xian laughed loudly beside him, while Su Wei leaned against the door frame with a depressed look on her face, without saying a word. He couldn't afford to offend anyone in this room.
"That's right, I almost forgot, then kick him to London and let him be with the most annoying people in the world." Kitchener has now completely become a southern African, and he has various disdain for the British Empire.
.
The British Empire was once the pride of Kitchener. Kitchener has worked for the British Empire all his life. It can be said that he has witnessed with his own eyes how the British Empire went from "the sun never sets" to where it is today.
Deep love leads to deep hatred. As much as Kitchener once loved the British Empire, he now despises it.
"You guys talk first, I'll go see Lord Milner." Rock comforted Kitchina before going to see Ade, and the old child had to be coaxed to come.
Sidney Milner was sitting on a chair at the door of the ward, his head buried deep in his knees, his face covered with his hands, feeling so sad that he could not control himself.
"Cheer up Sidney, it's not the time to grieve yet." Rock was very angry. He was still alive and wanted to cry when he got home and cried in the dead of night.
"I'm sorry, Lord, I'm in a bad mood -" Sidney Milner's eyes were red, and he knew that Ade had run out of energy.
Rock went directly into the ward. No amount of comfort was meaningful to Sidney Milner now. Farewell is a part of life and everyone has to experience it.
The atmosphere in the ward was equally solemn. Ad was lying on the hospital bed, his body covered with tubes of various instruments, and Sidney Milner's wife Diana's eyes were also red.
Diana was Sidney Milner's second wife and was previously his assistant.
Seeing Roark come in, Diana moved a chair and placed it next to Ade.
Rock nodded to Diana and thanked her. He sat on the chair and looked at Ade, who had lost his appearance, feeling inexplicably calm.
It's not that Rock is heartless, but that at Rock's age, there's nothing he can't stand anymore.
Everyone dies. Almost every year in these years, brothers who fought together in the Cape Town Police Station will die. Brothers Luo Yi, Li De, Gao De and Gao Deng, Anton have also been on the sickbed in recent years. Roque himself
He is now sixty years old and has long been used to life and death.
Ade's life is very exciting. He was born in the Grand Duchy of Hesse in Germany and has been working in the British colonies since he became an adult. To put it bluntly, Ade is the founder of Southern Africa. If Ade hadn't actively fought for it, Southern Africa would have been
Maybe it's still a British colony now.
After retiring, Ade was not idle. He wrote several books, such as "Nation and Empire", "Britain and Egypt", "Urgent Matters", etc. Ade's biggest ideal is that southern Africa will prosper and replace the decadent and backward old continent.
country to become a leader in the world.
What makes Rock really heartbroken is that it is already the eve of dawn, and Ade is about to pass away.
"Have you woken up in the past few days?" As Prime Minister, Roque must be very busy at work, but he turned down all work today and decided to spend a good day with Adelaide in the ward.
Even if Ade remains unconscious like this, Rock will not leave.
"No, I have been almost in a coma since a week ago. I only woke up twice in the middle. My life is maintained by nutritional injections." As soon as Diana spoke, tears fell down again.
"Go and see Sidney, and call Su Wei." Rock hoped to get some time alone with Ade.
Diana left quietly.
"My old friend, I should have come to see you earlier -" Rock couldn't help but have red circles in his eyes. This farewell was an eternal farewell, and no one would ever remind Rock "You have to calm down" again.
Now Rock's influence on southern Africa has reached an incomparable level. Even if Rock says that the earth is flat, there will be southern African scientists who will revise the textbooks soon. For all southern Africans, they have great respect for Rock.
trust has reached the level of superstition.
So in this situation, how could anyone dare to tell Rock to "calm down"? Only the old and dim-eyed Kitchener is qualified to be the "sinister Rock" all day long.
