Kitchener's inauguration ceremony was huge, with about 700 people in attendance.
These 700 people are all dignitaries from southern Africa and their spouses and children, basically representing the ruling class of southern Africa.
The inauguration ceremony was held in a grand and solemn atmosphere. What happened in front of the Palace of Justice would not affect the atmosphere of the inauguration ceremony. Everyone was very conscious not to spread or discuss it. Everyone present was a vested interest class in southern Africa.
I still have this awareness.
As one of Kitchina's few friends in southern Africa, Roque accompanied Kitchina throughout the whole journey. Whenever Kitchina needed to shake hands with someone, Kitchina would temporarily hand the wine glass to Rock. This gesture
Very symbolic.
All southern Africans know that Roque is the successor appointed by Adelaide and is the son-in-law of Parliament Speaker Philip. Now Roque has such a close relationship with Kitchener and has the support of British Prime Minister Winston behind him.
This fully shows that Rock's status in southern Africa is unshakable.
In addition to Ade and Philip, the new generation of officials in southern Africa, represented by Henry Owen, Ada and Sidney Milner, are also centered on Roque, who is also surrounded by Stoudemire and Christie.
The business elites represented by An and others, coupled with the high-quality talents continuously cultivated by higher education institutions such as Nyasaland University, and the millions of farmers across southern Africa, together form the future of southern Africa.
"I really can't bear to leave Southern Africa. This is a beautiful place and a magical land. Life here will become my most wonderful memory in the future." Viscount Glaston, the governor who is about to leave Southern Africa, was slightly sad. He continued
He is going to Australia to serve as the British Governor-General in Australia.
Oh. Glaston is now an earl. After the World War, the British government rewarded people for their merits. Because of the contribution made by southern Africa during the world war, Glaston was promoted to Earl of Glaston.
"I hope your work will go well after you arrive in Australia. Southern Africa and Australia are only separated by the Indian Ocean. We can cooperate more closely in the future." Kitchener is really not being polite. The situation in Australia is the same as that in Southern Africa, even if the income is higher
degree of autonomy and remained part of the British Empire.
Compared with Southern Africa, Australia's conditions are actually not bad. It has a vast land, sparse population and abundant resources. However, Australia does not have the cheap labor force that Southern Africa has. The domestic population is also seriously insufficient. At the same time, Australia's public education level is very poor, and there is no one in the country.
Decent institutions of higher learning, so during the World War, Australia could only work with New Zealand to form the Anzac Corps and go to Europe to participate in the war. It did not fully play its all-round role like southern Africa.
"There is no comparison between Australia and southern Africa. What kind of future can a country composed of prisoners have?" Earl Glaston was not optimistic about the prospects of Australia. Australia was originally a British prison penal colony and was even more miserable than southern Africa.
"It can't be said that Australia is still very rich in resources. Fawalt Steel Company and Christian Exploration Company jointly conducted resource exploration in Western Australia, and the results were not bad." Rock stopped there, if Graston
Only if the count is willing, Rock will talk about the next step.
"Really? So are you willing to invest? I think I can do something." Earl Gladstone immediately beamed. These are all political achievements.
"Of course, William and I can have a good talk later." Rock is definitely willing to invest. William is the son of the Earl of Glaston and has a very good relationship with Owen.
"Hahahaha, when you want to go to Australia, tell me, I will give you a plane, as long as the land you fly over is yours -" Earl Glaston laughed, and his depression was swept away. As an Australian
The Governor-General, Earl of Glaston, has supreme authority in Australia.
"Airplane" is not a joke. In the Middle Ages, there was a law in England called squatterright's, which means the right to squat.
The right to squat means that if a person can build a house on an unowned land between sunset and before sunrise, then the land can be owned by him.
This law was later extended to mean that if a person illegally occupies a house beyond the time limit for litigation, that person will become the legal new owner of the house.
"That's great. I have many planes with good performance -" Rock also laughed. If Earl Glaston did this, Rock would make the Australian government feel very distressed.
While the inauguration ceremony was ongoing, the interrogation of the sign-bearers was in full swing in the basement of Bullard's office next to the Palace of Justice.
Horace, the head of Bullard's office in the Transvaal, was very angry about this incident and ordered Jerome, the head of Bullard's office in Pretoria, to investigate the motives of the person holding the placard as quickly as possible.
Background, whether there are partners, whether there is someone behind the scenes, etc.
Jerome personally took charge of the interrogation of the sign-bearers.
"That guy is very tight-lipped. Now I only know that his name is Darwin Andrew, and he lives at No. 113 Brown Street. I have sent people to search his residence and check his social relationships, but this guy seems to be the same person.
Living without relatives or friends, just like a lone wolf——" Jerome was very efficient. When reporting to Horace, he washed his hands under the hand faucet in the corner, and the sink was filled with bright red.
"We must seize the time to investigate. We must find out this guy's situation -" Horace gritted his teeth. Before the inauguration, Roark had given repeated orders, ordering Brad's office to cooperate closely with the Pretoria Police Department to eliminate the possibility of accidents.
.
In the end, despite all precautions, he still lost face in front of the new governor of southern Africa and many high-ranking officials. Horace now has the intention of killing people.
"We have sent people, this guy may be an Orangeman -" Jerome picked up the coffee on the table and drank it all. Although the Boer country has been destroyed for a long time, the Orangemen have not been completely destroyed.
Surrender, now in southern Africa, there are still Orange people who strongly oppose the rule of the federal government.
As for "colonization", in fact, the Boers were not the original owners of this land, but the Africans who were mining in the mines or immigrating to other countries were.
Horace sat behind his desk without saying a word. The situation in southern Africa is now very good, and the Orangemen are the only hidden danger.
Brown Street is about 3.5 kilometers away from the Palace of Justice. After knowing the residential address of Darwin Andrew, a team of agents from Bullard's office, led by Senior Agent Richardson, came to 113 Brown Street.
This is a four-story reinforced concrete building. Darwin Andrew lives in a room on the third floor. When Richardson came to No. 113 Brown Street, he did not rush upstairs, but first arranged for agents to search the entire building.
They gathered around and then led the remaining agents upstairs.
"Darwin is a good young man. He works in a mining company and rarely comes back once a month. He has never argued with anyone. Are you mistaken?" Gallagher, the owner of this house, used to work for the federal government. Regarding Bu,
Ladd was not too afraid. On the contrary, he continued to defend Darwin Andrew while taking Richardson upstairs.
Richardson didn't speak. Every time he reached a floor, Richardson left two people behind. When he reached the third floor, there were only three agents left around Richardson.
"Open the door and get out of the way -" Richardson warned Gallagher. Although Gallagher repeatedly said that Darwin Andrew lived alone, Richardson did not dare to take it lightly.
"There is absolutely no need to make such a fuss, you will scare my guests-" Gallagher muttered as he took out the key to open the door, then twisted it left and right and found that it could not be opened.
Richardson had already drawn his pistol and signaled to his men to kick down the door.
Then I saw Gallagher changing a key——
Evil landlord!
This time the door was opened successfully.
Gallagher wanted to say something else, but Richardson pulled him away.
An agent stepped forward and kicked open the door.
At the same time as the door opened, Richardson keenly heard what seemed like something rolling away, and then Richardson seemed to hear a "buzzing" sound like a fuse burning.
The agent who kicked open the door was about to break in, but was also grabbed by Richardson.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, there might be—" Before Richardson could finish his sentence, a violent explosion suddenly came from the room.
The entire corridor was suddenly filled with thick smoke. Richardson and two of his men were knocked down by the violent impact. Gallagher leaned against the wall and was stunned. The last agent was a little further from the door and did not receive much impact. He struggled as soon as the shock wave passed.
Rush over to rescue the wounded.
In an explosion of this magnitude, even if there were people in the room, they would definitely be blown to pieces, leaving no chance of surviving.
Richardson had no external injuries, but he was dizzy and his head was pounding. He tried to stand up by holding on to the wall, but failed to stand firm twice in a row.
"The damn thing is explosives. That guy works in a mining company. Why the hell didn't you notice that your tenant had so many explosives in the room?" Richardson was furious, and Gallagher was on the verge of crying.
He suffered heavy losses and it is not known whether the structure of the building was damaged.
"Phil, Phil, wake up—" The surviving agents were calling for their unconscious colleagues. One of the agents was hit by the shock wave and hit the wall, and his head was bleeding.
"Doctor, call the doctor -" Richardson ignored Gallagher and called to the agents who hurried upstairs to help him immediately.
What happened at 113 Brown Street was quickly reported back to Bullard headquarters.
This time without Horace's order, Jerome continued to interrogate Darwin Andrew viciously.
