Pretoria is the political capital of the federal government of Southern Africa and the capital of the Transvaal state. Both Philip and Adelaide have their official residences in Pretoria. As far as Pretoria is concerned, Philip
He has more say than Ade on many matters. The county magistrate is really not as good as the current one. This is determined by the national conditions of the federal government.
With this structure of the federal government, the central government really has little binding force on local governments. For example, Nyasaland is still Roque’s private domain. The central government does not even have the power to appoint officials. Nyasaland is owned by
Everything can be said in one word.
The same is true for the Transvaal. Although Adelaide is the Prime Minister of the federal government, Philip, the governor, has the greatest decision-making power on matters related to the Transvaal. At most, Adelaide can give Philip advice. As for whether to listen to it or not,
That depends on Philip's attitude. If Philip disagrees with Adelaide's decision on something related to the Transvaal, Adelaide has nothing to do.
Of course, this does not mean that local governments can do whatever they want. Now the federal government also has its own Constitution. Article 1 of the Constitution states that all members of the federal government must take the initiative to safeguard national unity. In local affairs, if the central and
If there are differences at the local level, then everyone can sit down and talk. The central government respects the rights of local governments, and local governments must also maintain the authority of the central government. Hello, I am okay, everyone.
It must be said that when it comes to safeguarding the interests of the central government, Aida is obviously more conscious than Rock and Nyasaland officials. Sidney Milner has just expressed the hope that the Rand Bank will let out some graduates.
Ada immediately agreed and asked Michael Nichols to bring out all the lists for Sidney Milner to choose from, which almost moved Sidney Milner to tears.
"The situation at Rand Bank is pretty good. This group of graduates will start from the grassroots level after arriving at Rand Bank. They should be able to play a greater role when they go to the federal government." This is how Ada explained to Roque.
In southern Africa, the human resources of Rand Bank can be said to be the strongest. When Rock was preparing for Rand Bank, he was still struggling and had to start from the farm cooperative. After Ada joined, Rand Bank began to develop by leaps and bounds.
In terms of discovering talents, Ada has an advantage over Rock.
After all, Ada also has a French background. The French banking industry is actually not weaker than the British banking industry. The competition is fierce and cruel. There are also many people jumping off buildings in the Financial City of Paris. Ada easily gathers a group of people.
With a large number of talents, the current Rand Bank was established.
"That's good, as long as it doesn't affect the development of Rand Bank -" Rock only had the opportunity to be alone with Ada after the award ceremony.
In fact, it doesn't count as being alone. When Ada moves around, she has to take Jessica with her.
One-year-old Jessica's big, watery eyes were clear and smart. She was sitting in the stroller and looking around, obviously very curious about the scenery by Xuanji Lake.
Xuanji Lake is actually the lagoon of Lake Nyasa. It used to be part of Lake Nyasa. Later, it was divided into two parts due to crustal movement. Xuanji City was built between Lake Nyasa and Lake Xuanji.
In the delta between the mountains and rivers, the terrain is flat and the environment is beautiful. Rock has invested millions of pounds in the construction of Xuanji City. This is also thanks to Christian's selfless dedication, otherwise the cost will continue to rise.
.
If you spend so much money, the effect will definitely be obvious. There is now a lake-circuit road around Xuanji Lake, and there is a park along the lake near Xuanji City.
When Luo Ke built Xuanji City, he had high standards and strict requirements. The roads throughout Xuanji City have been hardened, so the air is very fresh. Walking on the sidewalk in the park along the lake is very refreshing.
When Rock was building the park along the lake, he once considered planning the entire park along the lake according to the traditional Oriental garden art. However, in the end Rock found that the cost of planning the park along the lake using traditional Oriental garden art was a bit high, so Rock
couldn't afford it, so Rock lowered the standards and built the current park along the lake.
In fact, it has not been reduced much. The lakeside park near Nyasaland University is still planned according to the traditional oriental garden art. After completion, it will certainly be beautiful and belongs to the essence of the lakeside park. The parks in other areas are much simpler.
, after the ground was paved with lawn, some benches and other public facilities were set up next to the sidewalk, and then there were various century-old trees transplanted from various parts of Nyasaland, and occasionally some celebrity sculptures, which also added a lot of humanity.
breath.
In fact, the park should be like this. The grass is for people to play and rest, rather than putting up a "No Trampling on the Lawn" sign for people to look at.
There were many citizens resting on the lawn of the park along the lake. Several teenage children were playing football. One child accidentally kicked the football into the lake, which led to collective criticism from several other peers. After the criticism, he still had to play football.
Find a way to fish the football out of the lake.
There were a lot of adults watching around, and everyone was a little used to it, watching the fun happily, and no one tried to help.
"It's great. I really hope that one day, Nyasaland will be a paradise on earth -" Ada couldn't help herself. Most of the citizens of Xuanji City have something to do with Nyasaland University, and everyone's quality is still the same.
It's relatively high. If it were replaced in other places, it might not be so harmonious.
"Take your time. In fact, the prosperity of Nyasaland also has hidden dangers. We are the northernmost point of southern Africa, and we are too close to the border. It would be best to push the border fifty kilometers north - no, it is best to move one
One hundred kilometers." At this time, Rock was still thinking about the expansion of Nyasaland.
In fact, the location of Xuanji City is still very good. Unlike Xuanwu City, Xuanji City is more than 500 kilometers away from the border line of Nyasaland and Tanganyika. The Kingdom of Mozambique is separated in the middle, and Zhazha is still based on Luo
He considers himself a servant of Ke, so he has no idea of Xuanji City.
"Simple, just annex Zanzibar -" Ada didn't feel anything was wrong and was still helping out with ideas. The two were indeed a match made in heaven.
"The opportunity is not yet there, we have to wait a little longer -" Rock is not in a hurry. When the First World War breaks out, Rock will solve all the current problems.
Roque still has time to wait, but some people are already exhausted.
Yang Smuts' life was a bit difficult during this period. Although the British Education Commission has launched an evaluation of Nyasaland University, this evaluation has nothing to do with Yang Smuts. Without Ade's telegram, God knows.
How long will it take for the British Education Council to remember the University of Nyasaland?
Therefore, the newspapers and magazines in Southern Africa have not softened their verbal criticism of the federal government's Ministry of Education in recent times. Yang Smuts, the Minister of Education, is undoubtedly the target of the fire.
"——The Ministry of Education can no longer be described as lazy. Its arrogance towards the University of Nyasaland fully reflects that some people within the Ministry of Education have committed dereliction of duty. They should be brought to court to face trial. The current Ministry of Education is simply unable to serve the needs of the South.
To provide qualified services to the African people, people who are more qualified, more capable, and more responsible should sit in that position -" Hilton Becky's voice reading the newspaper became lower and lower, gradually becoming inaudible.
Hilton Becky was Young Smuts's secretary and Young Smuts' adjutant during the Boer War. Now in the Federal Ministry of Education, Hilton Becky also serves as the chief of the Finance Section.
"Continue reading——" Yang Shimozi's face was expressionless. The coffee in front of him had become cold, and Yang Shimozi did not move a lick.
"Minister, we can't continue to be passive-" Hilton Becky simply put away the newspaper. In fact, Hilton Becky had already had reservations just now and chose to skip some sensitive words when he read them. Otherwise, Yang...
Shi Mozi probably wouldn't be so calm.
"Recite it as you are told!" Yang Shimozi's expression was gloomy, and he grabbed the hand with exposed veins on the armrest of the chair, exposing Yang Shimozi's heart.
At this time there was a knock at the door, and before Hilton Becky could open the door, Louis Botta pushed the door open and entered.
"Mr. Minister -" Hilton Becky said respectfully. Among the Boers, Louis Botha is still very prestigious.
Louis Botta nodded slightly to Hilton Becky, then raised his hand to let Hilton Becky leave temporarily, and then looked back at Yang Smuts, who had closed his eyes and leaned on the back of the chair. Louis Botta was inconspicuous.
sighed.
"Jenny, you should express your position as soon as possible. This cannot continue like this." Louis Botha is always paying attention to the situation of Yang Smuts. In the current federal government, there are only two Boers, Louis Botha and Yang Smuts.
Ministerial official Louis Botha is certainly not going to sit idly by.
"It doesn't matter, I really want to see how far they can go." Yang Smozi thought there was no need to respond, at least not now.
"Gianni, this is not a time of war. Orange is already a member of the federal government. No matter what we do, we must take into account the overall interests of the federal government." Louis Botha was still earnest. Compared with Louis Botha,
Yang Smozi was indeed too extreme in many cases.
"Louis, actually I really regret it now. I should have died in Magalie Fort instead of living till now and suffering the humiliation of those villains!" These words of Yang Smuts finally truly reflected his feelings.
heart.
During the Boer War, Jan Smuts jointly commanded the Boer Allied Forces with Dela Rey in the Battle of Magalieburg and launched an attack on the British Expeditionary Force. The battle was very difficult and Jan Smuts was slightly injured and could not leave the line of fire.
, thus gaining a great reputation later on.
"Jenny, I said, now is not a time of war. The federal government has the federal government's rules of the game. If you don't adapt to the federal government, you will be eliminated by the federal government." For such a stubborn Yang Smuts, Louis
