When Stanley Bruce learned that Johnny Childs was hospitalized due to illness, Stanley Bruce was having dinner with the Australian Governor-General Henry Foster at Yarralunar Manor. 23us.

The Governor-General is a very magical existence in Australia. In name, the Governor-General of Australia is the representative of the Australian monarch, that is, the representative of the British King. According to the current Australian and British laws, Australia and the United Kingdom share a monarch, and this monarch should be resident in the United Kingdom.
, but the British King will certainly not stay in Australia all year round, so the Governor-General of Australia performs the duties of the head of state under normal circumstances.
The Governor-General has great power. As the plenipotentiary representative of the Australian monarch, the Governor-General of Australia has great legal rights. The Constitution gives the Governor-General the highest administrative power in the country. At the same time, the Governor-General is also the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. He can make and cancel laws, and has the power to appoint and remove
Parliament, ministers and the Prime Minister.
However, according to the traditional practice of the British Westminster system, the Governor does not interfere in administration and exercises power in accordance with the advice of the Prime Minister.
The Australian political system in the 1920s was different from that in the 21st century. In the past, in 1930, the United Kingdom established the independent status of an autonomous territory. Since then, the candidate for the Governor of Australia has been nominated by the Australian Prime Minister.
As the Australian monarch, the so-called review is just a formality. The British king will never object to the candidates nominated by the Australian Prime Minister. On the issue of the appointment of the Governor-General, the King only follows the opinions of the Australian Prime Minister and does not consider the suggestions of the British Prime Minister and Parliament.
So in fact, in the 21st century, the power to appoint and remove the Governor-General of Australia is in the hands of the Australian Prime Minister, and the Governor-General is just a national symbol.
It is not the same now. Although Australia is fighting for independent status, the United Kingdom has not agreed. Therefore, the Governor-General of Australia is still the head of state of Australia appointed by the British King. Although the Governor-General does not interfere in administration, he must fight for the position of Prime Minister of Australia if he wants to take office.
Supported by the Governor.
Henry Foster is also a nobleman. As the first Baron Foster, the difference in importance between the Governor-General and the Prime Minister to Australia can be seen from his title.
Stanley Bruce's title is Viscount.
Because of the gap in titles, Henry Foster did not show much superiority to Stanley Bruce. Stanley Bruce also wanted to make friends with Henry Foster. The two had a pleasant meal and talked with each other.
Very Huan, we had in-depth exchanges on the prime minister election to be held in August and reached a certain consensus.
Well, the above is all nonsense. In fact, it can be described in one sentence: Henry Foster and Stanley Bruce were drunk.
There is no prohibition on alcohol in the UK, and even in terms of the proportion of alcohol abuse, the situation in the UK is much worse than in the US. I am even more exaggerated about this than my son.
Of course, this can also be understood to mean that the son is more civilized than Lao Tzu. Although the degree of civilization is also limited, it is also in line with the ultimate meaning of the Yangtze River where the waves behind push the waves ahead and die on the beach.
After receiving the news that Johnny Childs was hospitalized due to illness, Stanley Bruce had no intention of continuing to drink. He said goodbye to Henry Foster and prepared to visit Johnny Childs in the hospital.
Oh, okay, please take me to greet Mr. Johnny. I will visit him another day. Henry understands the importance of Johnny to Stanley.
This is the tragedy of the staff. Although Henry knows Johnny, he will not visit Johnny with Stanley. This is when Stanley is showing off, and Henry will not steal Stanley's limelight.
Of course, this visit on another day is just a courtesy, not someone worthy of being visited by the Governor of Australia. Johnny is only important to Stanley, and to Henry, Johnny is not an indispensable figure in Henry's life.
Just after these two sentences, someone sent the latest news: Johnny Childs died in the hospital.
Died
The word itself contains a strong flavor of conspiracy.
Johnny was assassinated, and this matter must be pursued to the end. Stanley gritted his teeth.
Since the man was dead, Stanley was not busy saying goodbye.
Johnny was indeed important to Stanley when he was alive, but Johnny was of no use to Stanley after he died. Of course Stanley would show his employer's friendship, but that would only be at Johnny's funeral.
.
Don't talk nonsense when there is no evidence, it will affect your judgment. As governor, Henry has a detached status in Australia, so Henry can stay out of the matter and look at the problem with the calmest eyes.
But Stanley didn't want to be calm. Henry knew that Johnny was very important to Stanley, but he didn't know how important it was.
As Stanley's advisor, Johnny not only participated in Stanley's campaign throughout the entire campaign and provided advice for Stanley, but also controlled Stanley's funding sources. Johnny had a foundation in his hands that was Stanley's campaign funds. The only source of funding was John.
Nicai knew that without the help of this foundation, Stanley would lose at least 30% of his advantage in running for prime minister.
Let alone 30%, even a half-percent advantage is enough to determine the position of prime minister, so there is no reason for Stanley not to pay attention to it, unless Stanley does not want to succeed in the election.
It is a pity that this happened. It is obvious that whoever benefits the most from this matter is the murderer. Stanley is not talking nonsense, Stanley is trying to muddy the water.
Johnny's death will definitely affect Stanley's campaign for Prime Minister. So based on the principle of who benefits the most and who is the most suspect, Stanley's rival James Scullin is undoubtedly the most suspect.
Without evidence, it is indeed possible that Johnny's death was just an accident, but since it will have an impact on Stanley's campaign, Stanley must muddy the water. Even if Pindao dies, he can't run away.
If you are affected, then let’s all come together.
Calm down, Henry reminded Stanley with a worried look.
As the nominal head of state of Australia, it is Henry, the governor-general's responsibility, to ensure Australia's stability. It is really surprising that this happened at the beginning of the election campaign. Henry seemed to smell the breath of a storm.
I'm sorry, Henry, I can't calm down now. This must have been done by James, this son of a bitch, I will make him pay the price. Stanley is already furious, and now he just wants to rush to James with the double-barreled shotgun at home.
Go home.
The more dangerous the situation, the more calm you have to be. Anger will not help you solve the problem, but will make you make wrong judgments. Henry tried to dissuade Stanley as much as possible.
Okay, I will try my best to restrain myself, but if I am asked to find evidence, I will definitely make James, the son of a bitch, look good. Stanley took a deep breath and gave Henry an unreliable guarantee.
Henry could only do his best to understand destiny and watch Stanley leave with a worried look on his face.
Almost at the same time that Stanley learned the news of Johnny Childs' accidental death, Billy Hughes also learned of the latest developments.
As the Prime Minister of Australia, Billy Hughes has been really annoyed lately.
Billy Hughes was born in London, England, and grew up in Wales. He is 62 years old this year.
In 1915, at the beginning of the world war, Billy Hughes became Prime Minister of Australia.
During the World War, Australia under the leadership of Billy Hughes went all out to help the mother country and was fully involved. Billy Hughes even sent one-twentieth of the entire Australian population to Europe to fight in the war. This is almost all the adult males in Australia.
, while providing great help to the British, it also won great honor for the ANZAC.
But honor cannot be eaten. After the end of the world war, the British have not even paid pensions to Australian disabled soldiers. This makes all Australians both aggrieved and sad.
Australians paid a huge price to help Britain win. Of the 5 million Australians, 416,809 were conscripted into the army during the World War, of which 330,000 were sent to Europe to fight. During the entire World War, the number of Australian army casualties was 59,342, and the number of injured was 59,342.
The number of people was 152,171, and the total number of casualties was 64.98 of the starting number.
Australia's contribution to the United Kingdom is so great, so when the British even refuse to pay pensions, it is understandable how sad the Australians must be.
Perhaps it is precisely because of Australia's heavy casualties that the British will not pay attention to Australia, because Australia has lost almost all its vitality. If there is another world war, Australia will no longer be able to give Britain such strong support.
It's really unfair.
Even under this premise, Billy Hughes did not ask for independent status, but only asked for Australian autonomy. This was already Billy Hughes's best effort within the scope of his rights.
It is precisely because of Billy Hughes's loyalty to Britain that in this year's election, although Billy Hughes proposed to continue to participate in the election, among all the candidates, Billy Hughes's support rate was the lowest.
To be fair, Billy Hughes has done a good job. No matter who comes, even if Qin Zhiyuan comes in person, it may not be able to guarantee peace and stability in Australia.
During the World War, in order to ensure security and stability, the Australian government promulgated martial law.
Martial law mainly has two contents: first, censorship of news and publications; second, preventive measures against enemy nationals in Australia, mainly German nationals. As soon as the war began, London asked Australia to gather enemy nationals. In 1914
In October of that year, a request was made to detain nationals from enemy countries.
There are many German expatriates in Australia. When the war broke out, there were 36,000 German expatriates in Australia. Although they faced many difficulties, in order to prevent the enemy's expatriates from causing trouble, the Australian government resolutely adopted this tough preventive policy.
Not to mention the ups and downs of this policy, German expatriates were prohibited from participating in the war, which also protected German expatriates in disguise. During the entire world war, the Australians fought to the death to defend the British and the Germans, but the German expatriates in the concentration camps were raised instead.
White and fat.
By the end of the World War, Australians suffered heavy casualties on the frontal battlefield, but the population of German expatriates in the concentration camps increased to 50,000 due to the baby boom for many years.
