Brothers have settled accounts. It doesn’t matter if it is a one-man company. In a partnership, just because you are the boss, you cannot mobilize the company’s resources to serve yourself for free. You still have to pay what you have to pay.
What's more, strictly speaking, the money paid by Irving should be included in campaign expenses.
This is why Roque hates the democratic representative system. This thing is indeed a waste of money and people. It seems to be elitist politics now, but it will evolve into political correctness in the future. Even if Nyasaland joins the Union of South Africa, Roque will never be in Nyasaland.
Some things are impossible to take back if you give them away.
"What's the result of the investigation?" Roque is also concerned about the National Party, which is a group of people who really succeed more than they succeed.
"It doesn't look serious. The National Party only has a few dozen members now, but they have frequent contacts with London. We traced the telegram address and found Arnold Matilda." Xia Jiu said something that almost made Rock
Forgotten name.
Yes, how could such a lively event not include Arnold?
The Matilda family and the Alsop family are family friends. Arnold and Henry Alsop must have a good relationship. Rock heard Phyllis mention that Arnold and Henry Alsop have been together since they were children.
Rock was not surprised at all that these people had similar odors and came together.
But for the dozens of members of the National Party, Rock is curious now. Under such circumstances, there are still people who would join the National Party. Rock has to doubt the political vision of those people. Don't look at Henry Also.
Prime Minister is very vocal right now. If an election is to be held, the National Party will probably lose miserably.
Rock almost forgot that there were Boers.
But this is not a problem. The National Party can cooperate with the Boers, and the Liberal Party can also cooperate with the Boers. Roque will find an opportunity to meet Louis Botha.
Forget it about Yang Smuts, Rock doesn't have a good impression of Yang Smuts.
"Have any officials in Johannesburg joined the National Party?" Rock asked.
Xia Jiu did not answer Rock's question directly. Instead, she found a piece of paper from the pile of documents on her desk and handed it to Rock.
This is a list of members of the National Party. There are about forty or fifty names listed on the paper. There are notes after the names. None of them are high-level officials. A few people do work in government departments, but they are all low-level employees.
Rock watched the small roles from beginning to end, and except for Henry Alsop and Kevin Trevicorn, no one looked familiar.
Only then did Roque feel relieved. If the National Party only had this little energy, then there really was no need for Roque to worry.
Even if Roque doesn't take action, Irving can directly overthrow the National Party. The Liberal Party now has more than 30,000 official members. Among these 30,000 people are not only men, but also female members. Irving treats the Liberal Party as a company
Even if these female members do not have the right to vote, they can exert great influence.
"How did you get this list?" Luo Ke was a little curious about Xia Jiu's working method.
"Well Sir, there are three people on the list who are from us, two people who are probably Chairman Owen, and a few Boers whose motives are not pure. Of these forty or fifty people, I estimate that less than half will join the National Party."
They all have other purposes." Xia Jiu was still a little embarrassed. This method was not fair enough, but the result was a bit dramatic.
Luo Ke couldn't help laughing. This National Party is a bit unlucky. If what Xia Jiu said is true, it will be funny when the National Party participates in the general election.
Speaking of being funny, Rock suddenly felt blessed.
"Arrange more people to join the National Party." Rock looked at the list in his hand, and he definitely gave Henry Alsop a big move: "First find more than a hundred people to join, perform as well as possible, and try to blend in.
Someone with a job title”
Xia Jiu couldn't help laughing. Although Luo Ke didn't say what he wanted to do, Xia Jiu was not stupid. Looking at Luo Ke's operations, he knew that Luo Ke was planning to make the National Party a joke at some point.
Compared with an old bastard like Rock, Henry Alsop and Kevin Trevignon are simply innocent little white rabbits.
When Henry Alsop and Kevin Trevicorn founded the National Party, they originally wanted to disgust the Liberal Party. They did not expect to compete with the Liberal Party. Everyone in the Transvaal knew that no matter what the future holds, in this election, the Liberal Party
If you win, there is no chance of any other surprises.
Compared with others, Roark and Owen's first-mover advantage was too obvious. While others were still busy rebuilding, Roark and Owen had already established the Liberal Party to build a democratic representative system that seemed illusory at that time.
prepare for.
Now that Johannesburg is really going to implement a democratic representative system, everyone is surprised to find that the Liberal Party has accumulated unparalleled advantages. Let alone whether Chinese Americans will have the right to vote by then. Looking at the current situation, even if Chinese Americans do not have the right to vote, Translate
There is probably no organization in Vanuatu that can compete with the Liberal Party.
Even Xia Jiu can easily obtain the list of members of the National Party, which shows how loose the organizational structure of the National Party is.
Different from the huge and imposing Liberal Party headquarters, the National Party's headquarters is located in a two-story wooden building not far from the officialdom of the train station. Henry Alsop and Kevin Trevicorn were very interested in this headquarters.
I'm very dissatisfied, but I can't find a more suitable location, so I can only stay here temporarily.
The National Party is indeed struggling. Henry Alsop and Kevin Trevicorn have their own backgrounds. They tried their best, but only forty or fifty people joined the National Party. Henry Alsop
And Kevin Trevicorn didn't know that a small number of these forty or fifty people had evil intentions, otherwise Henry Alsop and Kevin Trevicorn would probably be heartbroken.
"This can't continue like this. We have to provide more benefits in order to attract more people to join the National Party." Kevin is very worried. Now Kevin, whether it is Henry from Matilda's family, Roark or Kay
Wendu couldn't afford to offend him. Henry was not joking when he said he wanted to beat Kevin. Kevin had tasted Henry's fist.
"This is Johannesburg. The Matilda family can give us more benefits than we can give." Henry Alsop's face was gloomy. Johannesburg is the home of the Matilda family. Even Henry Alsop
Even if there is a deputy governor father, there is no way he can compete with the Matilda family in Johannesburg.
"Then what's the point of staying in Johannesburg?" Kevin Trevicorn was irritated. He had not seen the pregnant Phyllis yet, otherwise he would be even more irritable.
Well, if Henry Alsop saw the pregnant Phyllis, I guess Henry Alsop would also be very upset.
"Think about it with your pig brain. We need to accumulate experience now. Johannesburg is just a pilot project. In the future, the Transvaal will implement a democratic representative system. Johannesburg is the territory of the Matilda family, but Pretoria is not.
When we return to Pretoria, it is time for our National Party to exert its strength." Henry Alsop is not stupid. In Johannesburg, the National Party poses no threat to the Liberal Party. This is what Henry Alsop admitted.
.
But back in Pretoria, the National Party is not without its efforts. In Pretoria, the deputy governor still has great power.
Henry Alsop's purpose in establishing the National Party was not simple. Don't forget that the democratic representative system requires general elections. If nothing unexpected happens, when the democratic representative system is implemented in the Transvaal, Henry Alsop will probably
’s father is also eligible to run.
So when the time comes, if the National Party can bring Henry Alsop's father, Harry Alsop, Baron Mahanlath, to power, then the Alsop family will make a profit.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see the potential of the Transvaal. Henry Alsop also received an elite education since childhood and was no stranger to these things. Fighting for power and intrigue was almost an innate talent.
However, the talent points are not that many.
"Okay" Kevin Trevicorn was speechless.
Kevin Trevicorn just got married a few years ago, and his wife is the daughter of a low-level official in Pretoria.
After getting married, Kevin Trevicorn did not accept the reality, but complained more about the unfairness of fate. Lacey's father is now the commander of the Transvaal garrison, and Phyllis's father is the mayor of Johannesburg.
, both men have a higher status than Kevin Trevicorn's current father-in-law.
If Kevin Trevicorn's wife could be more beautiful than Lacey and Phyllis, Kevin would probably feel better. However, this is a marriage arranged by Kevin's father, and Kevin's wife is not beautiful, so Kevin
Whenever Wen thinks of Lacey and Phyllis, he becomes jealous.
"What did that idiot Arnold say? When will he come to Johannesburg?" Henry Alsop was not completely helpless. In Johannesburg, Arnold was Henry Alsop's trump card.
After all, Arnold is also a member of the Matilda family. If Arnold joins the National Party, then no matter how partial Philip is, he will not consider Arnold's interests at all, and the National Party will take advantage of it.
"It's not sure yet. Arnold still wants to be the chairman of the National Party. If he doesn't agree to this, Arnold probably won't agree to join the National Party." Kevin's answer made Henry Alsop grit his teeth. He wanted to be the chairman of the National Party.
Chairman, where do you put Henry Alsop, the party chairman?
"Promise him, as long as he can come over as soon as possible." Henry Alsop still knows how to make a choice. If the National Party is still half-dead like it is now, then the party chairman will be dispensable.
If the National Party could change because of Arnold, then Henry Alsop would certainly have the means to drive Arnold away.
To Roark and Henry, Henry Alsop was a fool.
To Henry Alsop, Arnold and Kevin were equally stupid.
