Rock was also stunned. Kevin Mullen is now the chief judge in Nyasaland and also serves as the chairman of the Communist Party of China. It is probably impossible to return to the Umbrella Company as the general manager.
After communicating with Owen, the general manager of the Umbrella Company was replaced by Sam, the former general manager of the Matilda Gold Mine. Rock still trusted Sam very much, and Sam himself was willing to leave the Matilda Gold Mine, so Rock
He said hello to Henry and asked Sam over directly.
As for Gabby George, this guy didn't run far. At noon that day, Gabby George's body was found on the railway track from Johannesburg to Pretoria.
The body was so horrific that it was directly crushed into two parts by the train. After the police investigated the scene, they believed that Gabby George wanted to climb onto the train from Johannesburg to Pretoria, but because her body had not fully recovered, the accident occurred.
Got caught under the car.
Roque felt a little regretful and did not question the conclusion given by the police station. If you die, just die. It is just one less bargaining chip in your hand. It will not affect the balance of power between the Liberal Party and the Unionist Party. Roque is more concerned about Bruce.
·Hughes.
I have to say that the emperor loves his eldest son, and the people love their youngest son. The same applies to Philip. After Irving explained it to Philip, Philip just called Arnold home and cursed him, and then nothing more happened. Bruce Hugh
Si is still serving as the Propaganda Minister of the Socialist Party, and nothing has changed.
Rock did not let Bruce Hughes go, and arranged for Xia Jiu to personally be responsible for monitoring Bruce Hughes. This was considered a crime and meritorious service. If Xia Jiu made another mistake this time, then Xia Jiu would wait to inspect the warehouse.
When he was dismissed, Xia Jiu also lost the opportunity to enter the parliament.
Regarding this point, Xia Jiu didn't have much regret. For other people, the council seat might be a dream, but it really didn't matter to Xia Jiu. Xia Jiu still preferred a direct way of working.
In early September, the Johannesburg City Council was formally established, and its first decision was to implement a civil service system in Johannesburg.
"If I take the exam organized by the parliament, I wonder if I can work as a secretary-general." Stoudemire was ready to make a move, mostly joking.
"You can give it a try, as long as you are not afraid of embarrassing Mr. Cecil Rhodes." Rock was speechless. Stoudemire would be able to compete for the Prime Minister of the Southern African Federation in the future. Forget about being the Secretary-General. He can't afford to be embarrassed.
this person.
"Just talking." Stoudemire immediately gave up. He didn't even bother to take care of the South African company. It would be better to kill him if he was really asked to become the secretary-general.
"Do you want to go back to Rhodesia and form a political party?" Roque also has plans in mind. Although the Liberal Party can now serve as the mouthpiece of the Chinese, there may not be anything that will happen between Chinese and white people in southern Africa in the future, so Roque also intends to
Nyasaland forms a political party to prepare for future membership of the Union of South Africa.
"No, Rhodesia is the stronghold of the Progressive Party, and all Rhodesians are members of the Progressive Party." Stoudemire has never mentioned before that the advantage of South African companies in Rhodesia is just like that of the Liberal Party in Johannesburg.
shake.
"Are the Progressive Party of Rhodesia and the Progressive Party of Cape the same thing?" Rock was a little curious about the organizational structure of the Progressive Party.
"Of course it's different. The Progressive Party in the Cape is rotten to the core. Dr. Starr Jameson won the election, but he was also admitted to the hospital. The post of prime minister is taken over by the deputy prime minister. Parliament is noisy every day. Until now.
Not even a specific plan for dividing the spoils has been worked out. I now have a hunch that when the Union of South Africa is established, there may be no Progressive Party by then." Stoudemire is very pessimistic, and the Progressives in Cape Town are indeed not living up to expectations.
.
In original history, after the death of Cecil Rhodes, the Progressive Party did win a new election.
Unfortunately, this was also the last time the Progressive Party won an election. After the democratic representative system was implemented in the Transvaal and Orange, the Union of South Africa was quickly established. The Progressive Party in the Cape lost all seats and eventually disappeared without a trace.
Stoudemire can now feel that the Progressive Party is at the end of its rope.
But what is sad is that Stoudemire did not have the ability to turn the tide. Cecil Rhodes died too early, and Stoudemire was not ready yet. Being able to defend Rhodesia is enough to comfort Cecil Rhodes.
Des's spirit in heaven.
"You can reorganize the Transvaal Progressive Party into another party and draw a clear line with the Cape Progressive Party." Roque gave Xiaosi an idea.
"I'm not in a hurry now, because I don't know how to lead a party. What about you? Why are you asking me this?" Stoudemire's biggest advantage is that he never rests on his laurels. If he doesn't know how to do it himself, he will learn from Roque.
Nothing to be embarrassed about.
"I also want to form a party, but only in Nyasaland." Roque declared first to avoid a rift in the relationship with Owen.
No matter what Rock's purpose is, Irving will definitely feel uncomfortable if he finds out about starting a new business, so Rock wants to draw a circle in Nyasaland to avoid conflicts with Stoudemire and Owen's interests.
"Tell me about it." Xiao Si was very interested.
"What's there to say? If you really want to refer to it, just look at the current Liberal Party." Roque actually didn't tell the truth. Although the Liberal Party looks pretty good now, Roque really doesn't like the Liberal Party.
A political party must first have a party constitution so that it can have clear political goals.
Speaking of the party constitution, the Liberal Party actually has one, which is to strive for a wider range of free trade and better serve party members.
From Rock's point of view, this party constitution is indeed crude enough, but in this era, we can't ask for too much. The Liberal Party still has a party constitution after all. Similar to Arnold's Socialist Party, it doesn't even have a party constitution. It is simply a grassroots team. The election has begun.
Previously, the goal of the Socialist Party was to win more parliamentary seats. Now that the election is over, this goal is outdated. Roque estimates that Arnold himself does not know how to design the party constitution.
For Roque, the party constitution is very simple. Nyasaland’s biggest goal is of course to safeguard the interests of the Chinese and improve the living standards of the Chinese as much as possible. All articles should be centered around this purpose. The vast majority of Chinese
They are pragmatists. It is useless to tell them any ideals or ambitious goals. Only tangible benefits can win the recognition of the Chinese.
"Ha, don't try to lie to me. Just look at your attitude towards the Liberal Party and you will know that the Liberal Party is not the most ideal form in your mind." Stoudemire knew Roque very well. Roque thought he was hiding it well, but he didn't expect Stoudemire to actually
There are also times when one has a sharp eye.
Roark later sent a telegram to Buck, asking Buck to prepare for the establishment of a political party. This issue was more complicated and would have to wait until Roark returned to Nyasaland next time, so he could only leave it alone for now.
Following Roque's instructions, Duncan proposed in parliament that Chinese should be used as the official language of Johannesburg.
Although Roark was mentally prepared, Duncan's proposal still caused an uproar in the parliament.
The strongest opposition was from the Socialist Party MPs. In addition to Arnold and Bruce Hughes, Adam Stephen also joined the Socialist Party, quickly becoming the Deputy Chairman of the Socialist Party and entering parliament.
Compared to the Liberal Party, it is indeed easier for the Socialist Party to stand out. If Bruce Hughes and Adam Stephen were still in the Liberal Party, then they would not even be qualified to become core members, let alone enter the Parliament.
"The first round of voting will be held the day after tomorrow. If the vote fails, then one month later, I can propose the motion again. I have a total of three opportunities." Duncan introduced the parliamentary process to Roque.
"It doesn't matter. After your three chances have been used up, George can still bring it up." Roque is not in a hurry. The process of the parliament is simply a back door for people like Roque. These days, the votes are all raised by a show of hands. When the vote comes,
Roque will personally go to the parliament to observe, and it will be obvious who raises his hand and who does not.
"No, no, no, that's not the case. There are only three chances for this issue. If it fails to pass the three votes, then this issue will not be discussed in the future." Duncan corrected Roque's mistake. Think about it, Roque and his family in the parliament
There are so many congressmen, if they really take turns, they will be annoyed to death.
"It doesn't matter. In the past two days, you guys can contact other members of the House of Representatives to find out what they say and see how many people agree with it. Let's wait and see before voting this time." Roque felt a little regretful, but in fact, it doesn't matter. The democratic representative system
If so, there will be too much space for Rock to operate.
During the previous provisional government, Roque would not even dare to mention this kind of bill. Compared with these MPs in Johannesburg, Adelaide is much more difficult to deal with. Roque has been scolded in front of Adelaide in the past.
Under the democratic representative system, Ade's speech has become the current show of hands. The Johannesburg Assembly stipulates that as long as more than two-thirds of the members vote by a show of hands and more than half of the members approve the proposal, the proposal can be passed.
So for the proposal, it doesn't matter whether Arnold and Adam Stephen agree. As long as the majority of other members agree, it will be useless even if Arnold shouts. This is not a one-vote veto system like the United Nations, where the minority obeys the majority.
, in fact, it is the violence of the majority against the minority.
Or the few who can't resist.
"Okay, we will contact the congressmen we are familiar with separately, but this may incur certain expenses." Duncan had to mention the cost issue. If it was just this time, Duncan would have no problem paying for it himself, but in the foreseeable future,
This kind of thing will definitely happen more and more, and Duncan doesn't have a family like Roark, so he can't afford it.
"It doesn't matter. How much money you spend will be reimbursed to Scarlett in the end. You can also withdraw it in advance. As long as it is within a reasonable range, it will be reimbursed." Roark was already ready to throw money at people.
