In fact, not only the Ministry of Education, but also the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Justice are in urgent need of rejuvenation. When Southern Africa was established, the Ministry of Defense also had no one available and could only use a large number of old officials left over from the colonial era.
Rock took drastic measures in this regard. If there were no talents, he would simply train them himself. With the help of his studies with the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, Rock established the Army Academy in Nyasaland. In just two or three years, the shortage of talents was greatly reduced.
Great relief.
The situation in the Ministry of Justice is actually more serious. Although the Ministry of Justice has the highest average academic qualifications compared to other departments of the federal government, the independent prosecutors and prosecutors in the Ministry of Justice are too old. Even the federal government and federal states
I can’t remember all the laws promulgated in 2016, so I feel powerless at work.
Young people have a much greater advantage in this regard. Young people who have graduated from Nyasaland University Law School are very knowledgeable about the legal provisions of the federal government, federal states, and even the British mainland. Their role in the Ministry of Justice is getting better and better.
It has become increasingly important. Nine of the eleven division chiefs of the Ministry of Justice are young people under the age of thirty, and seven of them are Chinese graduates from Nyasaland University Law School.
Yang Smuts had accepted Prime Minister Esquith's invitation, but the news had not been announced yet. Roark was called over by Ade when he went to work the next day.
Ade did not want Roque to be the Minister of Education at the same time, but wanted to invite Douglas to be the Minister of Education.
This decision is a bit unexpected, but it is also reasonable. In terms of qualifications, status, and ability, Douglas is indeed the most suitable candidate. Compared with Rock, Douglas is the professional.
But this is not a good thing for Nyasaland University.
"Okay." Rock can still obey the overall situation. Douglas leaves the University of Nyasaland, and Abu can take over with a higher honor and a greater reputation. And setting up a vice president specifically responsible for administration will not affect Nyasaland.
The operation of Lan University.
Ade was obviously surprised. He thought Roark was going to bargain, but he didn't expect Roark to agree so readily.
"Don't look at me like that, Douglas is indeed the most suitable candidate." Rock hopes that everyone around him can develop better, so that southern Africa will get better and better. Compared with some people in Orange,
So vivid.
"Very good." Ade was slightly agitated, but he was still able to suppress it.
"The Ministry of Education is indeed in a bit of a mess. There is no problem with Minister Smoot's ability, but there is a problem with the way he employs people. He cannot put people in the right positions -" Roark started talking nonsense, and then he heard Sidney Milner
A dull cough.
When he turned around, Yang Shimozi was at the door with a livid face.
"Minister Shimozi, long time no see." Roque has practiced to the point of being invulnerable to all poisons, and he greeted him warmly, as if those words just now were not his.
"Lord Nyasaland, long time no see." Yang Smozi was still graceful, but if it had been someone else, he would have turned his back now.
This "someone" does not refer to Rock, but to Henry or Stoudemire.
"Sit down Locke, Christian will leave Pretoria for London tomorrow -" Ade is also an old fox, acting as if he doesn't know what happened between Locke and Yang Smuts.
Yang Smuts' full name is Jan Christian Smuts.
"Congratulations -" Rock smiled, it was indeed something worth celebrating.
"Locke, don't be proud, I will keep an eye on you in London -" Yang Smuts was not in a high mood. Seeing that Locke did not turn his face after hearing this, he smiled: "-Before I left, I
I have to apologize for my prejudice against you and the Chinese. Nyasaland is indeed amazing. Louis told me about his experiences in Nyasaland. Unfortunately, as the Minister of Education, I have never been to Nigeria.
Asalan, I hope I can have the opportunity in the future."
Rock suddenly realized that Louis Botha's role was still very crucial. If there was anyone in the federal government that Yang Smozi could trust without reservation, then that person must be Louis Botha.
"Don't be like this Christian, we are all for a better southern Africa." Roque is not proud. Nyasaland is still far from Roque's requirements.
Regardless of his stance, Yang Smuts is really not a bad person. The fundamental reason why Yang Smuts targets Roark is because the arrival of the Chinese is gradually squeezing the living space of the Boers. Without the influx of Chinese,
Enter, the Transvaal will definitely remain the Transvaal of the Boers, and Young Smuts and Louis Botha will not be marginalized in the federal government.
Therefore, this contradiction is irreconcilable. Rock is fighting for a greater living space for the Chinese, and Yang Smuts is also fighting for a greater living space for the Boers. However, the population base of the Chinese is too large, and the Boers are inherently deficient.
This gap cannot be bridged.
"Yes, we all want to make southern Africa better and become a paradise for all of us." Ade agreed, and Sidney Milner cleverly poured everyone a glass. That's why wine is so good.
The vegetables can also be drunk dry.
"To the future of southern Africa -" Yang Smozi proposed with a toast, and finally there was something else in his eyes.
"To the future——" Roque and Ade both raised their glasses. After Yang Smuts left, the relationship between Orange and southern Africa should also enter a new stage.
Rock No matter how sad Yang Smuts' mood is, Yang Smuts can still go to London after leaving Southern Africa. Rock can't leave so coolly now. As the second generation of Chinese Americans in Southern Africa gradually grows, more and more people
Young people are beginning to play a more important role.
Hopkins is ill and there is no hope of recovery. Rock is now in charge of the Ministry of Defense and has to add more people to his side. On the list provided by Zach, Barton, the son of Angel and Buck, is among them.
Rock didn't care about nepotism and directly transferred Angel and Barton to his side.
The so-called nepotism will only be criticized when morality is not matched. Both Angel and Barton are graduates of Nyasaland University. They both have excellent graduation grades and outstanding performance during their work. In addition,
Regarding the relationship between Rock and Anton Buck, if people like this are not used, should we use those old officials left over from the colonial period?
Give me a break.
"Don't fly planes anymore?" Rock and An Qi know each other very well, and their joking tone is also very casual.
"Treat it as a hobby. I don't want my mother to worry." Angel grew up very fast. People of her generation also experienced poverty and famine when they were young. In recent years, conditions have slowly improved. This is also true for the poor.
The children will take charge early.
Piloting is still a very dangerous profession. As there are more and more airplanes in southern Africa, there are more and more aviation accidents. Angel's mother originally did not agree with Angel becoming a police officer, but Angel ended up flying airplanes.
This made Angel's mother even more worried.
Anton also couldn't stand the nagging of An Qi's mother, so he simply sent An Qi to Rock. Rock's position in the hearts of Angel and her generation was irreplaceable, and only Rock could calm Angel and the others.
These second generation officials.
Patton's situation is similar. After graduating from the Army Academy, Patton gave up his job in the Department of Defense and actually went to Umbrella Company to become a mercenary. As a result, Buck sent him to Nyasaland University for three years and just graduated last year.
During his school days, Patton was also restless and took the lead in establishing an organization called the "Death Knights". The members of this organization generally had radical ideas. As a result, they were ruthlessly banned by Douglas. To this day, Patton still carries a major demerit.
"What's going on with your Death Knights?" Rock was very curious. There is also a Death Knights in the United States, the famous Skull and Bones Society. Rock didn't know what the relationship between the Death Knights organized by Barton and the Skull and Bones Society in the United States was.
, hope it’s just a coincidence.
"I was young and ignorant at that time -" Barton lowered his head and did not dare to look at Rock. In fact, he was not very old now.
Rock was not in a hurry and waited for Barton to continue explaining.
Seeing that he couldn't get away with it, Barton said honestly: "We established the Death Knights because of Brad. All our members wanted to join Brad, but Uncle Zach didn't want us, so we imitated Brad.
The Death Knights were established——"
Zach is Brad's real big boss, and not many people in southern Africa know this.
Brad's appeal among the second-generation Chinese in southern Africa is truly unparalleled. That is to say, Brad never goes to Nyasaland University to recruit students, otherwise almost all students would sign up.
"The purpose of our establishment of the Death Knights is to counter the discrimination against us Chinese by white people. In Nyasaland, Chinese people can coexist peacefully with white people, but outside of Nyasaland, white people's discrimination against Chinese people is still very common.
——" Barton was emotional. He and An Qi had different experiences when they were young. An Qi grew up in the Qing Dynasty. Although life was difficult, she had no contact with white people, so she didn't experience much discrimination.
When Barton was a child, he grew up in Johannesburg. In the social environment at that time, white people's discrimination against Chinese people was very serious. It can be said that Barton grew up in the discrimination of white people, so he hated discrimination so deeply.
"When I was young, I thought poverty was the reason why my family and I were discriminated against by white people. Later I realized that our discrimination had nothing to do with how much money we had. Our skin color was the fundamental reason why we were discriminated against. See
Looking at our southern Africa, the economic conditions in states with a large number of Chinese people are getting better and better, but the states composed of white people have not improved much. Orange is almost the same as it was ten years ago, so we Chinese are the best in the world.
"-" Barton went too far, and Rock had to raise his hand to stop him.
"Calm down Barton. Compared with ten years ago, the situation now is very good. At least no one dares to discriminate against you face to face. In ten years, the situation will be better. At the same time, the people who are worried about being discriminated against will be white people."
Rock is really worried, so how to guide him is really a problem.
