Rock still underestimated the influence of the Liberal Party. The National Party had already defeated the Liberal Party before its revenge began.
Arnold's resignation was the beginning of an avalanche.
On the day Arnold resigned, more than 300 National Party members quit the party at the same time, and less than 50 members remained in the National Party.
Among these 50 people were Xia Jiu's secret agents buried within the National Party.
Originally, these people were also going to withdraw, but Rock believed that through this incident, those who remained in the National Party would gain more trust from Henry Alsop, so he simply continued to bury these pieces in the hope that
can play a role in the future.
In early July, just one month before the general election, the National Party announced that it would close its Johannesburg branch and withdraw all staff to Pretoria to ensure the election two years later.
The current election is only in Johannesburg. In two years' time, there will be an election in the entire Transvaal. Then the real results will be seen.
"So, the case that happened some time ago will no longer be pursued?" Irving expressed dissatisfaction at the family meeting. Although there is no evidence that Henry Alsop killed the person, Henry Alsop was left with nothing.
Owen was still unwilling to leave Johannesburg.
"Otherwise, what else can we do? Go to Pretoria and capture Henry Alsop? Don't be stupid, that's impossible. Just find any reason and let someone publish it in the newspaper. Anyway, it's too late.
People will forget about time." It was not convenient for Philip to say this, so Roque should do it for him.
Sometimes, many things remain unanswered, such as the murder of William Temple. Although the murderer has been caught, the real culprit behind the scenes is still at large. It is impossible to continue investigating this kind of case because it is likely that the investigation will never lead to results.
, Rock has so many things to do every day, it is impossible to focus all his energy on a certain case, and it is impossible to solve every case in the 21st century. To pursue this at the beginning of the 21st century will tire Rock to death.
So most of the time, He Xini is the main way to respond. For example, in this case, Johannesburg can just publish a statement in the newspaper, saying that the police station has identified the real culprit and is tracking it down. It only needs to show a gesture, and the public will not
Interested in knowing the truth, time will dilute everything.
"Is this your police's attitude in handling cases?" Irving looked dissatisfied with everyone at this moment.
Rock didn't speak and looked at Owen quietly.
"I'm sorry." Owen also knew that Rock's way of handling the matter was the right one.
"I also want to apologize. I really didn't know that Henry Alsop would be so crazy. If I had known in advance, I would have stopped him." Arnold's expression was sincere, but Rock couldn't feel Arnold's sincerity.
.
"That's it, Arnold, you have to be responsible for comforting the family of the deceased. You have to pay the price yourself. This is the price you should pay." Philip was also gentle and gentle. This is the sorrow of ordinary people. Life is often just exchanged.
chips.
It's a bit cruel to say this, but it is the fact. Don't forget that this is South Africa at the beginning of the 20th century. Even in the 21st century, life in South Africa is not very valuable.
"Okay, I've already asked someone to send 500 pounds to the poor man's wife. God bless her." Arnold looked compassionate.
Although Roark is unhappy, this is already the best way to deal with it. Even if Roark has evidence, Roark will probably be unable to do anything to Henry Alsop. This is the privilege of the nobility and a rule recognized by the whole society. If Roark
By insisting on making Henry Alsop pay, Rock is making an enemy of society as a whole.
Roque has passed the second period of middle school.
"What are you going to do next?" Philip was still concerned about Arnold.
"I am planning to form a socialist party and participate in the upcoming general election. Don't look at me like that, Owen. I know the Liberal Party will definitely win. The Socialist Party is only participating in the election to make the election look fairer and not cause any trouble to the Liberal Party." Arnold
He was in high spirits and very happy with his wit.
But except for Arnold, everyone's expressions were a little solemn, including Philip.
"Some people followed me and left the National Party. They have now lost their jobs. I should be responsible for them. And don't you think it is ridiculous that there is only one political party competing for the election? Since it is an election, it must look like an election. In the end,
There should be at least two parties participating in the competition." Arnold looked eager, and the reasons he gave were actually reasonable.
This is also because the Liberal Party is too strong in Johannesburg. After the National Party disbanded its Johannesburg branch, there is now only one Liberal Party left in the Johannesburg area. Even some people who want to compete with the Liberal Party are disappointed by the strength of the Liberal Party.
Arnold is right. If the situation continues, then in August, it is likely that only the Liberal Party will participate in the election. Then the democratic representative system in Johannesburg will become a joke, and London will reconsider its implementation in the Transvaal and Orange.
The necessity of democratic representative system.
That's what he said, but Arnold organized the Socialist Party to run for election
Both Rock and Owen felt that it was a bit ridiculous. Maybe this was the rhythm of a tiger feeding into trouble.
But Rock and Irving had no reason to object. What Arnold said was an objective fact. The election has not yet started, but it has attracted the attention of the whole society. When the election actually starts, the Governor's Palace, the Orange Government, London, and even
The Cape Colonial Government will send people to Johannesburg to supervise. It would be outrageous if only the Liberal Party participated in the general election.
"If you do it, then do it well and stop doing those little tricks that you don't know the so-called." Philip decided, and Arnold was overjoyed.
When leaving the baron's residence, Owen and Roque walked together.
"This is politics. If you lose, you win. As long as the Socialist Party does not make mistakes, we have no reason to refuse the Socialist Party to participate in the election." Irving is still barely able to accept it. Is it okay to kiss the whole family?
Rock didn't want to comment. Although Rock and Arnold were nominally a family, Rock really didn't like Arnold. Although Rock was mentally prepared for the democratic representative system, when the election got to this point, Rock was still dissatisfied with the current situation.
Everything feels disgusting.
If you don't like it, don't force yourself. Rock rarely goes to Johannesburg since July and spends more time in Ziwei Town.
The scale of Ziwei Town has reached its limit, and the population is about to exceed 10,000. After discussing with Duncan, Rock and Duncan decided to gradually relocate the motorcycle factory and vodka factory in Ziwei Town to Oak Town, not far from Ziwei Town.
The town only retains Ziwei Public School and Medical College, maintaining the scale of Ziwei Town at its current level.
"Why not develop Ziwei Town into a city, so that we can have more say in the future and better safeguard our interests." Duncan was also poisoned by the democratic representative system and believed that the democratic representative system can
Solve all problems.
"Don't worry, the democratic representative system is not as good as you think. The British are just trying it in Johannesburg. Let's see what happens." Rock is not in a hurry. He is very satisfied with the current situation of Ziwei Town and has developed into a city.
At this level, it will attract more attention, which will bring unnecessary trouble to Ziwei Town.
As for the right to speak, Rock is not worried about this issue at all. Even if the Liberal Party wins the election, it will continue to protect the interests of the Chinese. Irving does not dare to burn bridges. Otherwise, if the Chinese can bring the Liberal Party up, they will naturally pull the Liberal Party down.
Therefore, Roque's main focus is to increase the income of Chinese Americans and enhance the strength of Chinese Americans. This is the fundamental factor to ensure that the interests of Chinese Americans are not affected.
"There is no problem with the operation of the farm. Potatoes, milk, and various poultry and eggs are the main income of the farm. After a while, the farm will be able to provide meat products in bulk. Some farms now raise hundreds of pigs.
, the slaughterhouse in Dog Town slaughters dozens of pigs every day, and recently the slaughterhouse has even begun to slaughter beef cattle. When everything stabilizes, we will renegotiate the contract with the mining alliance. Now we have the ability to completely replace Cape
Agricultural Association." Duncan was very enthusiastic. From a purely farm perspective, Johannesburg's agriculture is more developed than Nyasaland's agriculture.
So far, the farms around Johannesburg have been operating for more than two years. The Chinese cherish the opportunity to own land, try every means to increase their income, and work almost all the time.
With the help of the Agricultural Association and the financial support provided by the Rand Bank, farms in the Johannesburg area are developing rapidly. Now some farms are trying to order tractors and trucks from Nyasaland through the Agricultural Association, which means that the output of tractors and trucks is now
It is still seriously insufficient, otherwise the farms in Johannesburg would have even begun to mechanize.
Nyasaland has tried every means to increase the production of tractors and trucks, but with little success. It is not easy to produce heavy machinery such as trucks and tractors. Many parts need to be made by hand, which is a challenge for the technical level of workers.
The test was that before standard production equipment was designed, Nyasala had no ability to provide tractors and trucks to external parties, and even Nyasala could not meet its own needs.
"How far has the improvement of the Agricultural Association come?" Rock is more concerned about quality than scale. The Japanese can improve Wagyu. Even if the Johannesburg Agricultural Association is not so capable, the improved Angus cattle will be better than those from other places.
.
"Sir, improving breeding cattle cannot be completed in a day or two. The Agricultural Association has a laboratory specifically responsible for this aspect of work." Duncan looked troubled, and Rock was indeed a little eager for quick success sometimes.
"I know, I'm just asking." Roque also knew that there was no need to rush, but time did not wait for me.
