Under the rules of democracy, problems must be solved in a democratic way. In this regard, Rock is more talented than Henry Alsop.
The key is the right time, right place and right people. Rock has been preparing for a democratic representative system a long time ago. The National Party will not be able to make a comeback in a short time. Johannesburg is the sphere of influence of the Matilda family. Even if Baron Mahanlath himself comes
Johannesburg must fully consider the interests of the Matilda family. Finally, when it comes to harmony, Henry Alsop has no advantage in this regard. In the past few years when Roque has been in Johannesburg, a solid team has been formed in Johannesburg.
The network of relationships cannot be easily changed by one person.
"Now I declare that the voting results are valid, and Chinese Americans will have the right to vote in the general election in Johannesburg in August!" Owen couldn't wait to announce the final result.
"I don't agree! This result is illegal!" Henry Alsop firmly objected. If Chinese Americans do not run for office, then the National Party may still have a chance. If Chinese Americans run for office, then the National Party has no chance at all. "This result was decided collectively by the Election Committee, and you have no right to question it." Irving said calmly, already starting to organize documents in his hand. Today's meeting only has this one topic.
"Okay, great. Since Chinese Americans have the right to vote, do other ethnic groups of color also have the right to vote?" Henry Alsop finally realized that the result was irreversible, so he found another way.
"If other people of color own property in Johannesburg and have tax records for more than one year, then they can also have the right to vote." Irving took his time. It is not that simple to have the right to vote. If Johannesburg opens the right to vote to everyone, then
The consequences are disastrous.
The largest number of miners in Johannesburg are miners. Most of those miners are Africans. Most of them have tax records for more than one year. However, almost all Africans have no property in Johannesburg. In addition,
No one has raised their voice for Africans, so in this election, among all people of color, it is estimated that only Chinese Americans will have the right to vote.
"This is unfair. All the conditions are set against Chinese Americans. Only Chinese Americans meet these requirements. You are blatantly cheating!" Henry Alsop said without hesitation.
The accusation of "fraud" was a bit serious. As soon as Henry Alsop finished speaking, everyone looked at Henry Alsop with serious eyes. Owen, who had already stood up, slowly sat down again.
"You are accusing the Electoral Commission of blatant fraud, right? I have a question. You neither work in Johannesburg nor have property in Johannesburg. How did you get into the Electoral Commission of Johannesburg?" Rock openly attacked, Henry Eyre
Thorp's face turned pale.
What else could be the reason? Henry Alsop has a father who is a deputy governor, so Henry Alsop can join the Johannesburg Electoral Commission.
Everyone knows this reason, but everyone has a tacit understanding not to say it. This gave Henry Alsop the illusion that he entered the Johannesburg Electoral Commission by virtue of his own ability.
Rock was not shy and did not expect his relationship with Henry Alsop to improve, so Rock was straightforward. Since Henry Alsop accused the Election Commission of fraud, let's talk about Henry Eyre first.
Is Thorpe's status as a "committee" legal?
After Rock raised this question, the conference room was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard. In fact, Marcos Beaufort raised this question at the beginning of the meeting, but Marcos Beaufort was not important enough, so he did not
Have a substantial impact on Henry and Kevin.
Rock is different. Rock is a Baron of Nyasaland and serves as the commander of the newly formed First Cavalry Division. Although Rock was still in Nyasaland when the election committee was formed, Rock was still elected.
Committee members, if the same question was raised by Rock, it would be extremely damaging.
"Well, since some people question whether the Electoral Commission is impartial, let's discuss this issue. Henry Alsop, if you question the impartiality of the Electoral Commission, then you can go to the Government House to apply for an investigation before the results of the investigation come out.
, in view of the serious distrust between you and the election committee, I will now suspend your qualifications as a member of the election committee." Irving also broke his face simply and neatly. Having said this, the clay man is also very angry.
.
Irving had been tolerant of Henry Alsop before, more because of the relationship between the Matilda family and the Alsop family.
Now that Henry Alsop doesn't save face for Irving, Irving no longer has any scruples, otherwise others would think that the Matilda family is afraid of the Alsop family.
"Owen, you, you -" Henry Alsop obviously did not expect that Owen would be so decisive.
"I am the chairman of the Election Committee and am responsible for the specific work of the Election Committee. Since there has been serious distrust between us, there is no need to force cooperation." After Irving finished speaking, he stood up without any further hesitation this time.
"Owen, wait a minute -" Henry Alsop tried to stop Owen.
Irving never looked back.
"Haha——" Rock sneered at Henry Alsop, and left chatting and laughing with Marcus Beaufort.
Soon only the stunned Henry and Kevin were left in the conference room.
After a long time, a burst of yelling and cursing suddenly came from the conference room.
"Okay, Owen, you performed very well just now." Rock walked out of the conference room and quickly caught up with Owen.
"Come on, I knew you were going to be in a hurry as soon as you came back." Irving was not angry. If possible, Irving would not want to break up with Henry Alsop.
"If you don't drive such an idiot away, how can you keep him here for the New Year!" Rock said, you're welcome. Such a blind guy is still out of sight and out of mind.
"This guy won't give up. He doesn't know what he's going to do next." Irving knows Henry Alsop very well, and this guy will definitely not give up.
"Ignore him, he can't change the outcome of the election just by jumping up and down." Roque was satisfied. As long as the Chinese had the right to vote, no one would dare to offend the interests of the Chinese in the Transvaal. It would be the same whether or not Roque was present.
That’s the power of votes.
The next day, Owen came to see Roque again.
"Arnold is coming back, he is now the chairman of the National Party." Owen's expression was ugly, this is the rhythm of the Matilda family's internal strife.
"Even if Adel becomes the chairman of the National Party, he will not be able to change the election results." Roque felt a little irritable and vaguely tired of Johannesburg.
Roque is really annoyed by being distracted by such trivial matters all day long. Most of his energy is occupied. If possible, Roque really wants to stay in Nyasaland and never come back.
For people like Owen and Henry Alsop, elections are their most important job at the moment. Their eyes only focus on the Transvaal, and they have no ambition or ability to look at the world at all.
For Roque, the production and construction of Nyasaland are the most important work. Roque really doesn’t care about elections. So what if he wins. Johannesburg cannot rise to the top in one fell swoop. The democratic representative system is not guaranteed.
The best medicine to cure all diseases is to develop the economy in order to truly enhance the strength of the Transvaal.
"Don't worry, the Liberal Party has the upper hand now. If we can lose in this situation, then we can simply dissolve the Liberal Party, so relax, we don't have much time and energy to tangle with those idle guys who now make a living from elections.
, dreaming of reaching the top of life by relying on elections. For us, the way to the top of life is far more than just this one." Roque has just returned to Johannesburg, and his daily work schedule is full. As long as Arnold doesn't come to see him,
Rock is in no mood to pay attention to Arnold because of Rock's trouble.
After sending Owen away, Rock went to find Duncan. He is now the mayor of Ziwei Town and will join the election committee together with George, the vice president of the Agricultural Association, to exercise the next rights on Rock's behalf.
"No matter what form of election it is, it will turn into a farce in the end, so don't take it too seriously. Going to the meeting is just to take advantage of the situation. As long as they don't interfere with Ziwei Town and don't offend the interests of the Chinese, they can do whatever they want.
Toss." Rock set the tone for Duncan and George. The members of the election committee still don't know what kind of weirdo democracy is, so they are very interested in this new toy of democracy. Rock has long seen through the connotation of democracy and is very interested in it.
I have no interest in democracy at all.
Duncan was sent to Ziwei Hospital for treatment because of the assassination, and has now been discharged from the hospital. He and Buck have switched jobs, which is actually not bad. The situation in Nyasaland is indeed a bit complicated for Duncan.
After the establishment of the Nyasaland Management Committee, Buck carried out drastic reforms, and now it seems that the results are pretty good. After getting rid of the big burden of agricultural companies, Nyasaland can travel lightly and focus more on developing industry.
This is the most important part of Rock.
No matter how much food we produce, it can only guarantee that we will not go hungry. Even if Nyasaland develops into an "African bakery" like Rhodesia, it will be vulnerable without strength. Only by developing industry can we have stronger strength.<
/p>
Guys like Arnold and Henry Alsop have never been qualified to be Rock's enemies. The old colonial countries in Europe are the targets of Rock's competition.
Duncan and George looked at each other with surprise in each other's eyes. The democratic representative system was called a "good remedy" in this era, but they didn't expect it to be so unpalatable in Rock's mouth.
"Don't be surprised. Ziwei Town and Nyasaland will never hold elections. No one can hope to gain power through elections." Roque will not give some people the opportunity to take advantage of others. If you want to gain power, you must show your true ability.
