With Ade's mediation, both Rock and Bilov were given face. They each took a step back, and the problem was quickly resolved.
Just like Ade said, Tanganyika finally agreed to hand over Louis Brod to Nyasaland for trial, and Roque also recognized Tanganyika’s explanation for the fisherman’s abnormal death. Of course, compensation is essential.
, the Usombula Police Station gave a compensation of one thousand pounds, and the Rhodesia Fisheries Company paid another thousand pounds. The families of the fishermen who died in the accident were also very satisfied.
In an era when human life is really at stake, Nyasaland’s regulations are that if someone dies unexpectedly at work, the employer must pay compensation equivalent to about ten years’ salary. The salary paid to fishermen by the Rhodesia Fisheries Company is about
Even though the compensation of about one hundred pounds or one thousand pounds per year cannot completely alleviate the grief of the deceased's family, it can also ensure that the deceased's family will not have difficulty in living for a long time.
If it doesn't work, Nyasaland also has a Social Security Bureau, which will provide certain living allowances to poor families, but there are very few people in Nyasaland who pretend to claim it, and we really can't afford to embarrass this person.
On February 15, the day Birov left Nyasaland, Tanganyika Marine Police handed Louis Brod to the Nyasaland Marine Police in Usombula. Louis Brod
He was quickly transported to Little Rock and received a hero's welcome.
Rock personally went to the pier to greet Louis Brodeur, and the Little Rock military and police were almost deployed to ensure Louis Brodeur's safety.
The city hall, which can accommodate 300 people, is filled with officials from Nyasaland, as well as senior leaders of enterprises in various departments. Roque will definitely not miss this opportunity to conduct an interview with these officials and senior leaders through Louis Brod.
Education that goes deep into the soul. In the next period of time, Louis Brod will go to other cities in Nyasaland to make the same report. All local departments must also fully raise their safety awareness and conduct patriotic love for everyone in Nyasaland.
We must improve education and resolutely prevent the emergence of the second Luke Obadiah.
Roque stopped listening to the report. When Louis Brod began to speak, Roque and Ade were resting in the lounge of the city hall.
Ade finally decided to return to Southern Africa and compete for the Prime Minister of the Southern African Federation.
This position is not difficult for Adelaide. It is simply tailor-made for Adelaide. There are very few people who are qualified to compete with Adelaide. The current governor of Transvaal and Orange, Earl Selborne, has never forgotten it.
Returning to the British Admiralty, the Governor of the Cape, Walter Henry Hutchinson, had a clear gap compared with Ade in terms of ability and qualifications. Apart from these two people, others basically had no qualifications to compete with Ade.
.
As for the current Cape Prime Minister Dr. Starr Jameson and the Transvaal Prime Minister Philip, their influence is limited to one place and they have no qualifications to compete with Adelaide.
So after careful calculation, the ones who are really likely to compete with Ade are Louis Botha and Yang Smuts.
However, these two people have no chance now. In another time and space, after Ade left southern Africa, Louis Botha became the Prime Minister of the Transvaal and Orange. With the gold of Johannesburg, Louis Botha successfully became the Federation of Southern Africa.
prime minister.
In this time and space, the gold in Johannesburg was firmly controlled by Rock and Stoudemire. The Chinese completely replaced the Boers' position in the Transvaal. The Boers had almost no room for survival and could only stay away from the Transvaal and go to Orange or
It's Natal, it's even Cape.
As a result, the influence of Louis Botha and Jan Smuts will be much smaller, and they will be limited to Orange. After the Southern African Federation is established, I am afraid that few Boers will be able to enter the new government.
In southern Africa, the Boers do not have much say in the two-pound currency, and will be gradually assimilated by the British and Chinese in southern Africa.
This is what Rock wants to explain to Ade: "Many Boers are still stubborn. They refuse to accept everything from Britain except money. Schools in Orange even teach in Boer, which is very unfair."
In order to facilitate the integration of the Boer people into the future of southern Africa, I personally suggest that the official language status of Boer in southern Africa be canceled in the future."
"What about Chinese?" Ade's question was very sharp.
"Chinese is also not the official language of Southern Africa. At this stage, Southern Africa can only have one voice and one official language. Aren't the Chinese also working hard to learn English? Even those Chinese in their sixties and seventies are now
The key to knowing what it means to be stuck again is whether you are willing to learn." Roque does not care about the present, but looks to the future. When the second generation of Chinese Americans in southern Africa grow up, more and more people will use Chinese.
more.
By that time, even though Chinese cannot replace English as the only official language in southern Africa, it can become the only official language.
This is enough.
Ade nodded silently and was very satisfied with Roque's attitude. At this point, Roque was indeed doing his best to safeguard the interests of the British government.
It won't work if we don't protect it. Rock himself is a British baron, and Nyasaland is a British territory. Rock has been firmly bound to the British government and has extensive common interests. As long as the British government does not interfere with Nyasaland,
Then Rock will never betray Britain.
It is still very important to be in the right team. Look at the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It is also one of the great powers now, but it is a pity that it will be wiped out in a few years.
There are also the Russian Empire and the German Empire. These two countries will be in trouble in a few years. France lost the Franco-Prussian War and can quickly recover with its colonies all over the world. The Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Russian Empire have no overseas colonies.
As long as you lose the battle, you will be in ruins.
The same goes for Germany. Even though Germany still has many overseas colonies, they will all be managed after the end of World War I. German South-West Africa and Tanganyika were once part of the Southern African Federation, but it is a pity that Southern Africa is in another time and space.
The Federation committed suicide, and these regions became independent one after another, and then Africa became what it was later.
Rock will definitely not let this happen again in this time and space. The problem of Africans is actually very easy to solve. As long as he is not afraid of being scolded, Rock has countless ways to solve this problem.
Of course, this is something in the future. There is no need to tell Ade in too much detail now. If Rock wants to become a towering tree like Ade, it will be at least twenty years later. By then, Ade should have already taken a back seat.
, Roque is still young and strong, so he can step up in time.
"After the establishment of the Southern African Federation, we can decide our own destiny. By then, the current situation of fragmentation will end, and there will no longer be a need to maintain a large number of servant armies. The current experience of Transvaal and Rhodesia
That's good. Concentrating funds to build a powerful army is more effective than spreading the army to maintain a large number of servants." What Rock really cares about is military power. As long as he has military power in his hands, Rock is not afraid of anything.
"You position yourself as a soldier?" Ade looked at Rock with a bit of disappointment in his eyes. As a politician, Ade's understanding of the military is still insufficient.
This situation is also normal in Europe. In fact, it is rare in Europe for soldiers to seek power and usurp the throne. It is politicians who determine the political direction. Most of the time, soldiers are actually cannon fodder and have a very low social status. That is, in Nyasaland,
The status of soldiers is relatively high, and this is a situation created by Roque.
In fact, income is the key factor that determines career status. There is no need to increase the income of soldiers to the high-income class, even if they are just middle class, the social status of soldiers will be greatly improved, and the military will become a group that everyone aspires to.
"There is nothing wrong with soldiers. To maintain regional stability, we must have a strong army. If Nyasaland did not have a strong marine police force, Usombula would not be soft. Of course, the same will be true in the future. Europe has begun an arms race.
, every time the Germans produce one dreadnought, the Admiralty must produce two dreadnoughts to maintain the advantage over the German Navy. In a short period of time, anyone can build three, five, or even a dozen dreadnoughts, but in the long run,
What? When an arms race develops, it will definitely lead to war. Governments of all countries will not spend endless military expenditures on the arms race. How much advantage does the dreadnought have on the battlefield? They will always have to fight with real swords and guns.
Only then did I know, so although Southern Africa has no rivals in Africa, we cannot abandon our martial arts. Instead, we should strengthen the reorganization of the army. Lord Fawalt and I have discussed this many times." Roque did not forget to help Henry.
Good thing, although Henry is dawdling around all day and not wanting to make progress, Henry is still Rock's favorite partner.
The key is that Henry is not greedy for power and dares to hand over power to Roque. This is what Roque values most.
Roque's ideal model is that in the future of southern Africa, Roque and Henry will still partner in the military and police field. Roque will try his best to push Henry to the position of Minister of Defense, and then Roque can serve as Henry's partner.
Do your best behind the scenes.
There are still variables in this point. Ade did not realize the role of the army. Louis Botha and Yang Smuts must have known that in another time and space, after the establishment of the Southern African Federation, Yang Smuts served as Minister of Justice and also served as Minister of Justice.
As the Minister of Defense at the same time, Yang Smuts is expected to be unlucky in this time and space. Roque not only wants the Minister of Defense, but also the Minister of Justice.
The core of the separation of powers is that the three national powers of legislation, administration and justice are held by different agencies and exercised independently, with checks and balances on each other.
In the future Southern African Federation, the executive will definitely be headed by Ade. Legislation is the task of Parliament, and the judiciary is equally important. If Roque controls the military while also controlling the judiciary, then Roque will be the uncrowned king of the future Southern African Federation.
