2241 No matter how nice you say it, it can't change the fact that you hug your thighs.
Rock respected Ade's last wish and did not hold a grand funeral for Ade.
There must be procedures that should be followed. Ade's body was sent to the Victoria Cathedral in the center of Pretoria, where it will be parked for seven days and then sent to the National Cemetery for burial.
Rock presented the first bouquet of flowers to Ade's body, and soon Ade's body was surrounded by flowers.
Adelaide is still very prestigious in southern Africa. There is an endless stream of people coming to mourn Adelaide. There are long lines in the church square. Everyone can only stay in the cathedral for about one minute. There are mountains of flowers around the church. Bill
The flowers in Tolia City have been sold out, and many people are still coming here.
On the night of Ad's death, the British government and the British royal family sent separate messages of condolences to Roque. Winston flew directly to Pretoria that night to take this opportunity to discuss some issues with Roque face to face.
Rock doesn't want to talk about anything.
No one can replace Ade's position in Rock's heart. For Rock, Ade is not only a Bole, but also the most caring friend and an elder worthy of respect.
After learning the news of Ade's death, Rock gave himself a day off, locked himself in his room, and no longer even cared about the ongoing war.
The guards surrounded the Palace of Justice, and no one was allowed to disturb Roark. The children all went to school, and Roark and Phyllis were the only two people left in the huge palace.
There is also a dog, who is an unknown descendant of Big Man.
"A monument should be built for Alfred, and Ade's residence should be transformed into a museum. Why can't cities and streets be named after Ade? This is the best way to let people remember him. The federal government should
To choose a day as Ade's anniversary, why not set it on the day when Ade came to southern Africa." Phyllis did not agree to handle Ade's funeral in a low-key manner, and only Rock and Fei were left in the entire Palace of Justice.
There are two people in Liz, so Phyllis can only do the cleaning work herself.
Phyllis is obviously looking for something to do on her own initiative. It doesn't matter if Rock's study is not cleaned for a day. The air quality in Pretoria is very good. Even if it is not cleaned for a week, there won't be much dust on the floor.
"Put your feet up -" Phyllis looked at the motionless Rock, her eyes full of worry.
Rock is also in his sixties, and having too much mood swings is not a good thing. For the first time in the morning, Rock didn't even jog around the Swan Lake, nor did he eat breakfast.
"Old woman, please stop saying a few words. We have to respect Ade's last wish." Rock insisted that not everyone would become an old child like Kitchener.
Kitchina is completely different from Ade. What he likes most is to attend various ceremonies named after him. There are many landmark buildings or streets in Pretoria now whose names are related to Kitchina.
There are as many as six streets in "Kitchinna".
With so many streets, it's easy to get the names confused.
The people are still wise. There is only one street called "Kitchinna Street", and the rest of the names are related to Kitchina: Marshal Avenue, Count Street, and the roads around the Governor's Square are all named after Kitchina's surname.
Kitchen's names are also fully utilized, as are Horatio, Herbert, and even nicknames.
A street near Pretoria Airport is named "Lion King Street".
In addition to the streets, Kitchener's personal fame has also been fully utilized. There are museums and theaters named after Kitchener in Pretoria and Los Angeles. There is even a hotel in Pretoria just because of Kitchener.
After visiting Chinna once, the name was changed to Kitchinna Hotel.
This behavior of the hotel owner angered Kitchina. Because the food in this restaurant was not delicious, Kitchina did not get the experience he wanted in the hotel, so the name of the restaurant was ordered to be changed back.
The hotel owner is also a wonderful person. This guy simply changed his name to Kitchina for the sake of Zeng Jichinna's fame.
Although Kitchina has a violent personality, he is a reasonable person. Since the restaurant owner changed his name in order to gain popularity, Kitchina just let it go. As a result, there were many businessmen in Pretoria who changed his name overnight.
A lot.
"He is no longer here. Whatever you do, he doesn't know anyway." Phyllis is also several decades old, and her mind is still active.
Rock was suddenly worried that if he died, this girl would not remarry.
No, no, Phyllis's feelings for Roque are still very firm.
"Winston has already got off the plane, when will you see him?" Phyllis' tone was full of pride. Roark was probably the only person in the world who was qualified to keep Winston waiting.
This has nothing to do with national strength, but more importantly the friendship between Rock and Winston.
The friendship between Rock and Winston may not be as deep as the relationship between Henry and Stoudemire, but it is already extremely precious to people like Rock and Winston.
"Let's wait until tomorrow. I don't want to do anything today. Can you just let me be quiet for a while?" Rock was helpless, but Ada was sensible and never bothered Rock. She disappeared for hundreds of chapters.
"Okay, as long as you know what you should do." Phyllis was actually sensible and agreed to give Rock the private space he wanted.
Finally feeling clean, Rock closed the curtains and his whole body was shrouded in darkness, recalling every detail of the past decades with Ade.
Winston had no time to remember.
The victory in the Battle of Britain did not change the situation of the British Empire. Germany may restart the Sea Lion program at any time. The situation of the United Kingdom becomes increasingly difficult, with fiscal expenditures reaching 11 billion pounds last year.
In the last world war, Britain's total expenditure was only 10 billion pounds.
The battlefield in Russia is back and forth, and the end of the war seems far away. The British Empire can no longer hold on, and Winston urgently needs Rock's help.
It was Owen who greeted Winston at the airport. On the way to Pretoria, Winston and Owen took the initiative to chat about the ongoing war.
"The situation is terrible now. Even if we win the war, the European economy will go back to a hundred years ago. This world war will change people's behavior forever. Everyone is already full of fear of war. When the war is over,
We need to use a more peaceful way to resolve disputes, which requires our joint efforts to ensure that no new war breaks out." Winston has now fully realized the destructiveness of war, and Winston was also firmly good at it before.
War elements.
Long before the outbreak of the world war, Winston positioned himself as a firm anti-Russian in order to establish his character. At that time, Winston had clamored more than once to use war to curb Russia's expansion.
Now Winston can only be thankful that a war has not broken out between Britain and Russia. Otherwise, judging from Russia's performance in the war, Britain would definitely not be able to win.
Grains
"It is not enough that we yearn for peace, we must all have the same attitude." Owen's attitude was clear. As long as there are careerists in the world, the war will not stop.
A careerist is not necessarily a politician, but may also be a businessman, a banker, or an arms dealer.
The largest arms dealer in the world is Nyasaland Arms Industry, but the most active ones are Americans.
Behind both world wars, the shadow of the Americans emerged. Without the constant incitement of the Americans, the Germans would not have dared to provoke a war.
Even if you dare, the consequences won't be so serious.
After Mustache tears up the Sudetenland Treaty, if the United States can work with its allies to cut off trade with Germany, Mustache will be somewhat restrained.
The same is true in Asia. Until the Pearl Harbor incident, the United States was still transporting various industrial raw materials to Japan. Rock took the initiative to communicate with Roosevelt about this issue. Roosevelt put the responsibility on the profit-seeking businessmen and dismissed the trade with the Japanese.
It comes down to pure business.
This is still the same old story. The government cannot restrict business activities and there is complete free trade.
In fact, they are all excuses. Southern Africa, the United Kingdom, and France also implement free trade. After cutting off trade with Germany and Japan, businessmen in Southern Africa, Britain, and France did not see rebellion.
Therefore, it is not enough for the UK and southern Africa to be peace-loving. The behavior of certain countries must also be restrained, otherwise there will be three or four wars, unless the war spreads to the Americas and makes a certain country feel the consequences of the war.
"As long as the British Empire and Southern Africa join forces, the world will still be under our control and will be under our control for a long time to come." Winston sneered. The Americans' advantage is not as great as it seems. The Southern African Union and the Commonwealth will join forces and it will be enough.
Control this world.
This is very tempting. There are only more than 60 countries in the world now. The Southern African Union countries and the Commonwealth countries together account for about one-third. Germany, Japan, and Italy will definitely be liquidated after the war. After France is laid to rest,
Being reduced to a second-rate country, the only threats to southern Africa and the UK are the United States and Russia.
One of them is far away in America, and the other is in the Arctic Circle, both of which are far away from the "center of civilization".
"Winston, you can talk to Locke about this issue. I don't care." Owen was doing Tai Chi lightly. What Winston said made sense, but only if Southern Africa was willing to cooperate.
The Americans are deliberately trying to break the old colonial system and open up a larger raw material market and commodity dumping ground for the United States.
This is also what southern Africa wants. The British Empire once closed the Commonwealth market to southern Africa. This hater of southern Africans still remembers it.
Although the United Kingdom is now opening the Commonwealth to southern Africa again, no one can guarantee how long the British can open it.
If they do not get enough benefits from southern Africa, the British, who have no bottom line, will definitely turn around and seek cooperation from the Americans. Don't count on the loyalty of the British.
"How is Locke now?" Winston knew about the relationship between Locke and Ade, and was worried that Locke would be affected by Ade's death.
People will do some irrational things when they are in grief. Rock is also a human being and cannot always be right.
"It's not good. Alfred is very special to Locke. Locke respects Ade as an elder, so Locke must be very sad now." Owen is also sad. Without Ade, there would be no southern Africa, and there would be no such thing.
The Rise of the Matilda Family.
From this perspective, all southern Africans should always remember Ade's contribution to southern Africa.
Winston frowned and decided to go to Kitchina first, hoping that Kitchina could help.
Kitchina did not go to express condolences to Ade. He was over 90 years old and his body could not withstand the torment. People around him even blocked the news of Ade's death. However, Kitchina still learned the sad news through the radio.
"Boy, what are you here for? What difficulties is the British Empire facing again?" Kitchener was not angry with Winston. Rock became a "sinister boy" in Kitchener's mouth. Kitchener was angry with Winston.
That's already very polite.
"I came to visit you. The British Empire has not forgotten the old marshal's contribution to the British Empire." Winston was not angry, he smiled like an old chrysanthemum, with wrinkles all over his face.
"You're right, I'm getting old too, and I should prepare for my own funeral -" Kitchina suddenly fell into a low mood, and he still can't accept the departure of his old friend.
The relationship between Kitchina and Ade is also very special. Their friendship lasted for more than half a century. Both old men were unmarried. When Ade was alive, Kitchina joked that he would marry Ade. The two old men
Depend on each other for life.
This is a good idea, but it is a pity that the laws in southern Africa do not allow it.
And Ade doesn’t agree either.
"Marshal, I really need your help." Winston changed the subject. What Kitchina feared was not death. After being a soldier for a lifetime, Kitchina had long been used to death. What he feared was being abandoned by society.
Forgotten, no longer needed.
This is particularly evident among people with high positions of authority.
After many people retire, their health deteriorates rapidly and they die within a year or two. Neville is the best example.
Both Kitchener and Ade were lucky. After their retirement, they were appointed as special advisers by the federal government of Southern Africa and still had a say in national affairs.
Roque is very nostalgic and knows how to be grateful. He goes to chat with a few old men every now and then. During holidays, he invites Kitchina and Ade, as well as other retired old friends, to the Palace of Justice for a happy gathering. Kitchina and Ade
Germany even established a senior citizen club to continue to use its remaining energy.
"Hmph, I knew that, in Locke's words, the weasel was not well-intentioned when giving New Year greetings to the chicken. Tell me, what do you want to do?" Kitchina sneered. Compared with the federal government of Southern Africa, the United Kingdom is ruthless. Kitchina retired.
At that time, he only gave Kitchener one hundred thousand pounds, and then kicked him away.
"The British Empire needs to rejoin southern Africa to maintain control of the world." Winston's face was as dark as water, and the same sentence was expressed in different ways, with completely different meanings.
"Oh, if Southern Africa wants to control the world, does it still need to join forces with the British Empire?" Kitchina doesn't give face. It's enough for everyone to know about this kind of thing. Don't say it directly. It's too embarrassing.
Winston suddenly felt a headache, and recalled some bad memories from the past. This old guy had not changed at all, and he did not give anyone any face.
During the last world war, Winston often quarreled with Kitchener because of Kitchener's character.
