Chapter 1234 swallow your breath

Rock is very familiar with the British general election. The scene of Aunt May bursting into tears at No. 10 Downing Street in the 21st century left a profound impression on Rock.

Today's British MPs are no better than those in the 21st century. Aunt May was forced to resign because she did have her own problems. Winston has made an indelible contribution to Britain.

Even so, those members of the British Parliament still impeached him without giving Winston the slightest chance. This fully reflects the pragmatism and efficiency of the British Parliament.

Of course, the British Parliament is only pragmatic and efficient in impeaching the Prime Minister. In other aspects-

hehe.

Winston also had self-respect. After Locke learned of this situation, before he could send a telegram to Winston, Winston resigned angrily and threw the mess of Britain to Congress.

After Winston resigned, because a new Prime Minister had not yet been elected, the acting Prime Minister was the leader of the House of Commons, Lord Chancellor Andrew Bonar Law.

Andrew Bonar Law was a Canadian who served as Secretary of State for the Colonies, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Lord Privy Seal during the World War. He had a long-standing feud with Winston.

The relationship between Andrew Bonar Law and Winston was very bad. In fact, the two of them had very similar ideas in many cases. For example, on the issue of Ireland, both Andrew Bonar Law and Winston advocated tough measures.

, Andrew Bonar Law's attitude towards workers' strikes during the World War was even more radical than Winston's.

At this time, Winston's modesty was shown. Although he had a bad relationship with Andrew Bonar Law, during the World War, in order to concentrate all his forces against Germany, Winston still gave Andrew Bonar Law enough trust.

, Andrew Bonar Law became an important member of Winston's cabinet.

It is a pity that Andrew Bonar Law did not give Winston enough trust. During his tenure as leader of the House of Commons, Andrew Bonar Law questioned Winston's decisions many times, including Winston's appointment of Roke as the British Expeditionary Force.

The Commander-in-Chief, Andrew Bonar Law, was one of the leading opposition forces in Britain at the time.

In fact, as the British Prime Minister, Winston has the power to dissolve the House of Commons.

But Winston did not do this. Until Winston resigned, Winston never tried to dissolve the House of Commons.

Winston's resignation has also had a certain impact on southern Africa.

Everyone knows the relationship between Winston and Rock. They are old friends for more than 20 years. They fought side by side during the Second Boer War and joined hands again during the World War. When Winston was Prime Minister, he gave Southern Africa enough

Now that Winston has resigned, London's attitude towards southern Africa should change.

After Winston resigned, Andrew Bonar Law wanted Winston to serve as Minister of Foreign Affairs.

This appointment was almost an insult to Winston, who directly rejected Andrew Bonar Law's appointment and left London to sail for southern Africa.

Winston did not go to Pretoria, his first stop was Nyasaland.

It is already September, and Nyasaland in September is the most beautiful season of the year. The dry season has just ended, the rainy season has not yet begun, the temperature is moderate, the climate is pleasant, and the bigster trees in Los Angeles have also begun to enter their flowering period. The entire city

They are all filled with a light floral fragrance.

Winston, who now has four children with Clementine Hozier, and their children are delighted to finally leave the stifling London.

, the eldest daughter Diana had just turned ten. In another time and space, Diana was a movie actress and committed suicide in 1963.

In compliance with Winston's wishes, Rock did not hold a grand welcome ceremony for Winston. Instead, he took the Winston family directly from the airport to Eagle Fort, where he held a small but standard ceremony for Winston's family.

A great welcome party.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, welcome to Southern Africa -" Ade greeted him in front of the hall door. Next to him were Philip and Kitchener, and the three giants of Southern Africa all appeared together.

"I am no longer the Prime Minister, and now you are the Prime Minister -" Winston laughed, not seeing the embarrassment and depression of being forced to resign.

Being the Prime Minister is really not a good job. He wakes up earlier than a chicken and goes to bed later than a dog. All the credit goes to the King and Parliament, and he can't even be blamed.

Relatively speaking, the Prime Minister of Southern Africa is much more comfortable than the Prime Minister of the British Empire. Even though Winston led the British Empire to win the First World War, in the public opinion of later generations, Ade will not necessarily lose to Winston.

.

"Winston, don't pay attention to those idiots in Congress. I have already learned how stupid they are." Kitchener tried to comfort Winston.

"Marshal, don't say that. Although I am no longer the Prime Minister, I am still a member of the House of Lords." Winston was so embarrassed that there were some facts that really didn't need to be said.

"It doesn't matter if you don't serve as prime minister, you can take a break and adjust after retiring." Philip's words didn't seem to be meant for Winston. Winston smiled and ignored them. If the position of prime minister is not good, why are you so good?

What are you doing in a hurry?

What Rock prepared for Winston was a sumptuous feast that combined Chinese and Western styles. The main course was Nyasaland's special fried whitebait and mushroom soup. It might have been a slight to switch to other people's dishes, but here in Rock's case,

I have never cared about other people's opinions.

Nyasaland is Rock's fiefdom, and everything on Rock's territory must be obeyed by Rock.

Winston was not too fond of food, and could talk about anything as long as he had a cigar. On the contrary, Clementina Hozier praised the deliciousness of the mushroom soup, and finally had a better understanding of his life in the future.

expect.

That's right, Winston decided to stay in southern Africa for a while to adjust. Since the members of Congress felt that Winston could not lead the British Empire to move forward, Winston decided to let go completely.

Interestingly, the Prime Minister candidate proposed by the Liberal Party is actually Neville.

Unlike Winston's political enemies everywhere, Neville and his father Joseph both had a good relationship with Andrew Bonar Law. From this point of view, whether Neville or Andrew Bonar Law came to power, they actually had a great influence on southern Africa.

It won't have much impact.

Winston wanted to live in seclusion in Los Angeles, and of course Rock welcomed him with both hands.

Rock prepared a manor for Winston on the outskirts of Los Angeles. Winston's children can study in the best schools in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles City Government is also planning to grant Winston the title of "Honorary Citizen".

The street will also be named Marlborough Road to remember the friendship between Winston and Roark.

"The British Empire did not gain nothing in the world war. The British Empire still exists now, and this is the biggest gain." Winston did not agree with Congress's accusations against him. Compared with other countries at the same time, the British Empire was already relatively lucky.

Yes.

The World War directly caused the destruction of the German Empire, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, and the Russian Empire. After the end of the World War, only one of the five great empires was the British Empire. France and Italy also suffered heavy losses in the World War. Compared with other countries, at least

The British Empire has not yet collapsed, which is enough to prove Winston's contribution to the British Empire.

Of course, although the British Empire has not collapsed yet, its decline is already very obvious.

Compared with the declining British Empire, the rise of southern Africa and the United States has become unstoppable. Southern Africa is better. For the sake of the internal market of the Commonwealth, it will try its best to maintain the existence of the Commonwealth. Everyone knows that the United States is Sima Zhao's heart.

, the person in the world who most hopes for the disintegration of the British Empire is the United States.

"But the congressmen will not pay attention to this." Ade was embarrassed to directly accuse the congressmen of short-sightedness, although this is true.

"If anyone else had been Prime Minister, it would be impossible for him to do better than Winston." As the Minister of War during the World War, Kitchener was undoubtedly the person with the most say.

"Andrew invites you to be the Minister of Colonial Affairs. This position can actually be considered." Philip started from the perspective of balance. The Minister of Colonial Affairs is finally no longer an insulting appointment, but it is not of much value. The current Department of Colonial Affairs, and the Second

The Colonial Office of ten years ago was different.

Twenty years ago, southern Africa, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand were all British colonies. At that time, the Colonial Affairs Department was indeed very powerful, with its hands shaking and its eyes reaching the sky.

Now the above-mentioned areas have become British overseas dominions, and India has also established a separate Bureau of Indian Affairs. The areas under the jurisdiction of the Department of Colonial Affairs are only overseas islands of little value, which have lost their glory.

"No, I will not accept charity from anyone." Winston was determined and did not want to return to politics in the short term.

In fact, if Winston wanted to mess around, he would also make Andrew Bonar Law uncomfortable.

When he was Prime Minister, Winston was criticized by the opposition parties and even within the Liberal Party.

Now that Winston has resigned, as long as Winston is willing, Winston will still be the leader of the House of Lords. No matter who becomes the Prime Minister next, how did Andrew Bonar Law dismantle Winston when he was the Prime Minister?

, now Winston can retaliate tooth for tooth and eye for eye.

Think about the sadness and panic when Aunt May burst into tears at No. 10 Downing Street when she resigned, and then think about Aunt May’s high-spirited attack on Johnson when she returned to Parliament. The Prime Minister will do whatever the Prime Minister likes. From now on, I’ll treat you to my mother in a big sedan chair.

Don't do either.

"If you don't want to do it, just don't do it. Just enjoy life in Los Angeles. Diana is already ten years old. You should pay more attention to the children." Rock can understand Winston's mood. It's like if the world

After the war, the Southern African Congress accused Roque of causing too many casualties in the Southern African Expeditionary Force, and Roque would give up.

Not necessarily. If that situation really happened, Roque would probably find a way to dissolve the parliament directly, so he would not swallow his anger.
